Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, at our sailing, having been parted from them, having run direct, we came to Coos, and the succeeding [day] to Rhodes, and there to Patara,
Matungo nai katula kalekanuka ni enso, nu kutunga muhinzo mu luzi, ai kupikiie moja kwa moja mu kisali nika Kosi, nu mudau akwe kikapikiila kisali nika Rodo, nu kupuma kung'wanso kikapikiila kisali nika Patara.
2 and having found a ship passing over to Phoenicia, having gone on board, we sailed,
Nai kuligilye i meli nikuputa kulongola ku Foenike, ai kunankie kikatunga umuhinzo.
3 and having discovered Cyprus, and having left it on the left, we were sailing to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there was the ship discharging the cargo.
Nai kikapika ntongeela a kisiwa nika Kipro, kikakileka nkika a kisungu, kikatunga u muhinzo kupikiila ku Siria, kikaika i nanga mu kisali nika Toro, ku nsoko kung'wanso kuko i meli ai atulaa isimiligwe i miligo akwe.
4 And having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and they said to Paul, through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem;
Ze yakilaa kuihenga i amanyisigwa, ki kikie kung'wanso mahiku mupungati. iAmanyisigwa awa akamutambuila uPaulo ku kiila ku Ng'wau ng'welu kina u ng'wenso waleke kupambata ku Yerusalemu.
5 but when it came that we completed the days, having gone forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and children, to the outside of the city, and having bowed the knees on the shore, we prayed,
Nai kapikiilya ga ni mahiku nanso, u sese kikahega kulongola yitu. Ihi palung'wi, ni asungu ao ni ana ao, ai akutindikiiye munzila yitu kupikiila nai kikapuma kunzi a kisali. Uugwa kikatugama mu nshemba, kikalompa, kikilaga kila ung'wi.
6 and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends.
Kikanankila i meli, kunu nienso akasuka ku mato ao hangi.
7 And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having greeted the brothers, we remained one day with them;
Nai kikamala ga nu muhinzo nuitu kupuma ku Tiro, kikapikiila ku Tolemai. Pang'wanso ai kika alamusha i anyandugu, nu kikie nienso ku luhiku lung'wi.
8 and on the next day Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist—who is of the seven—we remained with him,
Mudau akwe kikahega kikalongola ku Kaisaria. uSese kikingila mi ito nilang'wa Filipo, mutanantya nua nkani ninza, nai watulaa ung'wi nu awo ni mupungati, nu sese ki kikie palung'wi nu ng'wenso.
9 and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying.
Muntu uyu ai ukete ananso anne a mudama ai ilotaa.
10 And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name Agabus,
Ze yakilaa kikie kung'wanso ku mahiku kituunga, akasima kupuma ku Uyahudi munyakidagu ung'wi nuitangwa Agabo.
11 and he having come to us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having also bound his own hands and feet, said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: The man whose is this girdle—so will the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they will deliver [him] up into the hands of nations.”
Nuanso ai uzile kitaitu hangi akauhola u mukoha nuang'wa Paulo. ku uwu ai witungile migulu ni mikono akwe mukola nu kuligitya, “Ng'wau Ng'welu wiligityaa itii,” “Ayahudi nia ku Yerusalemu akumutunga u muntu niiza mukola hiu nua mukoha uwu, ni enso akuminkiilya mu mikono a antu ni anyaingu.”
12 And when we heard these things, we called on [him]—both we, and those of that place—not to go up to Jerusalem,
Nai kikija i makani nanso, usese ni antu nai atulaa ikie i kianza ni kanso ai kumusingilye uPaulo waleke kunankila kulongola ku Yerusalemu.
13 and Paul answered, “Why are you weeping, and crushing my heart? For I am ready, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the Name of the Lord Jesus”;
Uugwa uPaulo ai usukiiye, “Mukituma ntuni, mukulila nu kunihumya ukata mu nkolo ane? ku ndogoelyo nkoli nkondaniie, shanga kutungwa udu, kuiti ga nukushila kuko ku Yerusalemu ku nsoko a lina nila Mukulu uYesu.”
14 and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, “The will of the LORD be done.”
Ku iti uPaulo shanga ai uloilwe kupeng'wa, ai kulekile nu kuligitya, “Uugwa ulowa nuang'wa Itunda utumike.”
15 And after these days, having taken [our] vessels, we were going up to Jerusalem,
Ze yakilaa i mahiku nanso, ai kuhoile i mpinda yitu nu kunankila ku Yerusalemu.
16 and there went also of the disciples from Caesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple.
Ze yakilaa i amanyisigwa kupuma ku Kaisaria ai ityatile nu sese ga. Akamuleta muntu ung'wi nui tangwaa Mnasoni, muntu nua ku Kipro, mu manyisigwa nua kali, naiza kikie nu ng'wenso.
17 And we having come to Jerusalem, the brothers gladly received us,
Nai kikapikiila ku Yerusalemu, anyandugu ai akusingiiye ku ulowa.
18 and on the next day Paul was going in with us to James, all the elders also came,
Mudau akwe uPaulo ai ulongoe palung'wi nu sese nu Yakobo, ni anyampala ihi nai akoli.
19 and having greeted them, he was expounding, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministry,
Ze yakilaa kualamusha, ai uinkiiye i makani naizaa Itunda witumile mukati ao i anyaingu kukiila uaiilya nuakwe.
20 and they having heard, were glorifying the LORD. They also said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the Law,
Matungo nai akija nanso, akamulumbiilya Itunda, hangi akamutambuila, “Wihengaa, munyandugu, akoli magana a nzogu anga ahuiie mukati a Ayahudi. Nienso ihi akete nsula kuamba ilagiilyo.
21 and they are instructed concerning you, that you teach departure from Moses to all Jews among the nations, saying not to circumcise the children, nor to walk after the customs;
Atambuiwe kutula u ewe, kina ukumanyisa i Ayahudi ni ikiie mu anyaingu kulekanuka nu Musa, ni kina ukuatambuila aleke kuatwala i kidamu i ana ao, hangi aleke kutyata i ntendo nia kali.
22 what then is it? Certainly the multitude must come together, for they will hear that you have come.
Kutakiwe kitume ntuni? Kutile u mintumbo aki giilya kina u ewe wapikiila.
23 This, therefore, that we say to you, do. We have four men having a vow on themselves,
Iti itume iko usese ni ku ukutambuila itungili; kukete antu anne naza aikile ndagu.
24 having taken these, be purified with them, and be at expense with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning you are nothing, but you walk—yourself also—keeping the Law.
Ahole i antu awa hangi wielye mukola palung'wi ni enso, nu kualipilya u ugulwa nu ao, iti ahume kuzula i matwe ao. Uugwa kila ung'wi walije kilinga kina imakani nai atambuiwe kutula u ewe ingi a uteele. Akimanyisa kina u ewe ga utyatile ilagiilyo.
25 And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.”
Kuiti ku makani a anyaingu naza atulaa ahuiili, ai kukilisilye nu kupumya i malagiilyo kina atakiwe kihuja ni intu naza ipumigwe isongelyo ku a dudu, ni sakami, kupumiila ni iko naza kigogilwe, hangi ihuje nu usambo.”
26 Then Paul, having taken the men, on the following day, having purified himself with them, was entering into the temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the purification, until the offering was offered for each one of them.
Uugwa, uPaulo aka ahola i agoha, nu luhiku nula kabiili, akielya u mukola palung'wi ni enso, akingila mu Itekeelo, kutanantya i tungo nila mahiku na kielya, kupikiila isongelyo lipumigwe ku nsoko a kila ung'wi ao.
27 And as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring up all the multitude, and they laid hands on him,
Mahiku nanso ni mupungati nai ahumbela ku ulinkiila, ze yakilaa i Ayahudi kupuma ku Asia akamihenga uPaulo Mitekeelo, ni anyianza akataka, hangi akamugoela u mukono.
28 crying out, “Men, Israelites, help! This is the man who, against the people, and the Law, and this place, is teaching all everywhere; and further, also, he brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place”;
Ai atulaa akuzogolya, “Antu a Israeli, kuaiilyi, Uyu ingi yuyo muntu nuenda amanyisa i antu kila nkika i makani niiza nsuta ni antu, ilagiilyo, ni kianza iki. Wa aleta ga ni Ayunani mu Itekeelo nu kuika kibudu kianza apa ni pelu.
29 for they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul brought into the temple.
Ku nsoko u ng'wandyo ai atulaa amihenga uTrofimo Muefeso aze ukoli palung'wi nu ng'wenso mu kisali, ni enso ai asigiie kina uPaulo ai wamuletaa mitekeelo.
30 All the city was also moved and there was a running together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors shut,
Kisali kihi ai katulaa nu ukunguali, ni antu akamanka palung'wi nu kumuamba uPaulo. Akamupumya kunzi i Itekeelo, ni milango nkua ikalugailwa.
31 and they seeking to kill him, a rumor came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem has been thrown into confusion,
Nai ikatula akugema kumubulaga, inkani ikamupikila u mukulu nua anya mbita nia usunji kina i Yerusalemu ihi ai atulaa izula minyomo.
32 who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down on them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.
Itungo lilo aka ahola i asunja nu mukomoli akalimankiila iumbi. Matungo i antu nai akihenga u mukulu nua idale nila asunja, akaleka kumukua uPaulo.
33 Then the chief captain, having come near, took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he has been doing,
Uugwa u mukulu nu idale ai umuhumbee nu kumuamba uPaulo, hangi akalagiilya watungwe minyororo ibiili. Akamukolya nuanso ingi nyenyu hangi ukituma ki ntuni.
34 and some were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the stronghold,
Ang'wi ao a antu mi umbi ai atulaa akubunuka i kintu iki ni auya kingiiza. Ku nsoko u mukomoli shanga ai uhumile kuatambuila kihi ku nsoko a iyogo ilo, akalagiilya uPaulo waletwe mukati itando.
35 and when he came on the steps, it happened he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude,
Uugwa nai wakapika mu munankiilo, akaholwa nu asikali ku nsoko a minyomo nu i umbi.
36 for the crowd of the people was following after, crying, “Away with him.”
Ndogoelyo i umbi nila antu ai limutyatiie nu kulongoleka kukua iyogo, “Muheji uyu.”
37 And Paul being about to be led into the stronghold, says to the chief captain, “Is it permitted to me to say anything to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek?
uPaulo nai watula ukuletwa mukati itando, ai umutambuie u mukulu nu idale, “Nihumilene nukutambuile kintu?” Umukulu uyu nu idale akaligitya, “itii ukutambula Kiyunani?
38 Are you not, then, the Egyptian who made an uprising before these days, and led the four thousand men of the assassins into the desert?”
Itii, u ewe shanga wi uyo u Mumisri naiza u ng'wandyo ai utongee u upiluki hangi ai uhoile i a kilemu magana a nzogu anne mu wii?”
39 And Paul said, “I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; and I implore you, permit me to speak to the people.”
uPaulo akaligitya, “Unene ni Muyahudi, kupuma kisali ka Tarso a ku Kilikia. Unene ni munya ihi nua kisali ni kikumukile. Numulompile, mundeke nitambulye ni antu.”
40 And he having given him leave, Paul having stood on the stairs, beckoned with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:
Itungo u mukomoli nai umulekee, uPaulo akimika pa munankiilo hangi akapumya kilingasiilyo ku antu ku mukono nuakwe, Itungo nai ikoli ihitwii nangalu, akitambuila ni enso ku Kiebrania. Akaligitya,
