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,
Buna tusia vambana yawu, tuyenda nate ku sanga ki Kosi. Mu lumbu kilanda bosi tuyenda ku Lodi bosi tutula ku Patala.
2 and having found a ship passing over to Phoenicia, having gone on board, we sailed,
Bu tubuana masuwa maba mvioka ku Fenisi, tukota mu masuwa beni ayi tuyenda.
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.
Bu tufikama ku sanga ki Sipeli kioki tubika ku koko ku lumoso, beto tuviokila ku ndambu Sili, bosi tutula ku disimu di Tile. Kuawu kufueti kulululu bima biba mu masuwa.
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;
Tubata minlonguki ayi tsambudi di bilumbu tuvuandila yawu. Balubula Polo mu lutumunu lu pheve Yinlongo mu bika kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
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,
Bilumbu bieto bu bimanisa, tuyenda ayi tutatamana nzietolo eto. Minlonguki mioso ayi baketo bawu ayi bana bawu bayenda tuvekisa nate kuna difula di divula. Bu tutula ku dibongo tufukama ayi tusambila.
6 and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends.
Bu tumana bumbakala beto yi beto, tukota mu masuwa bosi bawu bavutuka mu zinzo ziawu.
7 And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having greeted the brothers, we remained one day with them;
Bu tumanisa nzietolo eto mu maza, botuka ku Tile nate ku Pitolemayisi. Kuawu tuvanina bakhomba mboti. Lumbu kimvimba tukadila yawu.
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,
Mu lumbu kilanda, tuyenda ku Sezale. Tukota mu nzo Filipi, nsamuni wu Nsamu Wumboti; wuba wumosi mu tsambudi di bisadi biobi dibundu disobuladibundu. Ku nzoꞌandi tuleka.
9 and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying.
Bana baya babaketo baba yandi; basi zaba nitu yi dibakala ko. Dikaba di bikula diba yawu.
10 And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name Agabus,
Bu tuvuanda kuna bilumbu biwombo, buna mbikudi wumosiwuba ku Yuda dizina diandi Angabusi.
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.”
Wuyiza kutu bata; Wubonga sentila yoyi Polo kaba mvuantilanga minledi; wukikanga malu ayi mioko ayi wutuba: —Pheve Yinlongo kakembi: Buawu buabu Bayuda bela kangila ku Yelusalemi mutu vuidi sentila yayi ayi bela kunyekula mu mioko mi Bapakanu.
12 And when we heard these things, we called on [him]—both we, and those of that place—not to go up to Jerusalem,
Bu tuwa mambu momo, beto ayi mikhuikizi mi Sezale tuleba Polo muingi kabika kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
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”;
Vayi niandi wutuvutudila: —A mbi lulembo vangi bu lulembo didi ayi bu lulembo mbonisa kiadi mu ntima e? Bila kuidi minu, ndidi wukubama bika sia ti, mu kota mu nloko, vayi khubimini mu fua ku Yelusalemi mu diambu di dizina di Pfumu Yesu!
14 and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, “The will of the LORD be done.”
Bu tusia nunga ko mu balula mabanza mandi, tusia buela kunleba ko ayi tutuba: —Bika luzolo lu Pfumu luvangama!
15 And after these days, having taken [our] vessels, we were going up to Jerusalem,
Bilumbu bina bu bivioka, tukubika bima bieto ayi tuyenda ku Yelusalemi.
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.
Ndambu minlonguki minkaka mi Sezali miyenda yeto. Mitunata ku nzo Nasoni muisi Sipeli; niandi wuba nlonguki wuthama; kuidi niandi tuvuanda.
17 And we having come to Jerusalem, the brothers gladly received us,
Bu tutula ku Yelusalemi, bakhomba zituyakula mu khini.
18 and on the next day Paul was going in with us to James, all the elders also came,
Mu lumbu kilanda Polo wutunata kuidi Zaki, kuna ku kutakana bakulutuboso ba dibundu.
19 and having greeted them, he was expounding, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministry,
Buna Polo wuba vana mboti, Polo wuba kamba diambu dimosi-dimosidiodi Nzambi kavanga mu niandi kuidi Bapakanu.
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,
Bu bawa mambu moso momo, bakembisa Nzambi bosi bakamba Polo: —A khomba, ngeyo mueni ti Bayuda bawombo bawilukidi ayi bawu boso bankinzikanga ngolo Mina mi Moyize.
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;
Muaki bawilu ti ngeyo wulembo longi Bayuda bobo beti zingila mu mavula ma Bapakanu ti babika buela tumimina Mina mi Moyize. Ngeyo wukuba kambanga ti babika buela zengisanga nitu yi kibakala yi bana bawu bababakala ayi babika buela tumimina bifu bieto.
22 what then is it? Certainly the multitude must come together, for they will hear that you have come.
A buabu mbi tusia e? Bila ma bawa ti wutudidi kuaku.
23 This, therefore, that we say to you, do. We have four men having a vow on themselves,
Diawu tumimina mambu momo tueka kukamba: babakala baya badi yetovava bavengi tsila.
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.
Wuba bongi, wukivedisa va kimosi ayi bawu. Ayi wuba futilazimbongo mu diambu bavukusu dikungulu. Buawu bobo batu boso bakuiza zabila ti mambu moso bawilu mu diambu diaku madi ma luvunu bila ngeyoveka weti kinzikanga Mina.
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.”
Vayi mu diambu di Bapakanu bawilukila, tubaka lukanu ayi tuba sonikina nkanda mu kuba kandika ti ba bika dianga zimbizi ziozi zitambuku makaba kuidi zinzambi zi bitumba, babika dianga bibulu biobibivondolo mu kambu totuka menga, babika dianga menga ayi babika kitsuza.
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.
Mu lumbu kilanda, Polo wubonga batu beni, wukivedisa va kimosiayi bawu; wukota yawu mu Nzo Nzambi mu diambu di kamba kuidi batu lumbu kiela manisa tsukudulu ayi lumbu kiela vanu dikaba di kadika mutu.
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,
Buna tsambuadi di bilumbu bieka nduka duka, Bayuda baba ku Azibayiza bakula Polo muna Nzo Nzambi, batuma batu batotula khindu mu nkangu wu atu ayi bankanga.
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”;
Bayamikina: —A basi Iseli! Luiza lu tusadisa! Talanu mutu wawu wetalonga muamo ayi kuidi batu boso mu diambu di vueza batu beto, Mina mieto ayi buangu kiaki. Tala kutu wukotisidi basi Ngelese, mu Nzo Nzambi ayi wusumuni buangu kiaki kinlongo.
29 for they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul brought into the temple.
Batubila bobo mu diambu bamona Polo, ku divula, va kimosi ayi Tolofime muisi Efeso. Bawu babanzila ti Polo wunnata ku Nzo Nzambi.
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,
Divula dioso diyiza ba ntengu-ntengu ayi batu bawombo bayiza kutakana kuna mu nsualu. Bakanga Polo, bankoka nate ku nganda nzo Nzambi ayi bakanga mielo mi Nzo Nzambi.
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,
Bu batomba bu vondila Polo, tsangu yitula nate kuidi Pfumu masodi ma basi Loma ti khindu yeka mu Yelusalemi dioso.
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.
Muna thangu yina Pfumu masodi ma basi Loma wubonga masodi ayi bapfumu ziawu, bayenda nsualu ku buangu ki kutakana batu. Bu bamona pfumu masodiva kimosi ayi masodi, balembolo buela beta Polo.
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,
Pfumu masodi wufikama vaba Polo, wunsimba ayi wutuma masodibakanga polo mu zisieni zizole. Bosi wuyuvula kani Polo niandi nani ayi diambu mbi kavengi.
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,
Vayi va khatitsika batu bobo bakutakana; bankaka bayamikina diambu dina; bankaka bayamikina diambu diadi. Sumbu pfumu masodi kasia zaba ko diambu diodi ditotula khindu bila divula diba dinneni; buna wutuma banata Polo ku ka ki masodi.
35 and when he came on the steps, it happened he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude,
Polo bu katula va kikada, masodi mannanguna mu diambu di nganzi yi batu bobo bakutakana vana.
36 for the crowd of the people was following after, crying, “Away with him.”
Bila nkangu wu batu wuba kunlandakana wuba yamikina: —Kafua!
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?
Mu thangu banzola kotisa Polo ku Ka ki masodi, wukamba pfumu masodi ti: —Ndilenda baka minsua mi kukambila diambu e? Pfumu masodi wuyuvula Polo: —Zebi tuba ki Kingelesi e?
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?”
Ngeyo wisiko muisi Ezipiti, wowo wutotula khindu mu bilumbu bibedi, wuba kuenda natanga mili ziya zi mimvondi mu dikanga e?
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.”
Polo wumvutudila: —Nana tata! Minu ndidi Nyuda, ndidi muisi Talise, divula dimosi di mfunu didi mu zunga ki Silisi. Ndemvukila, wuphana minsua miyolukila va ntuala batu.
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:
Pfumu masodi wumvana minsua. Polo wutelama va kikada, wumuna koko mu diambu di sima biyoko bosi biyoko bimanisa. Biyoko bioso bu bimanisa, bosi wutona yoluka mu mbembo yi ki Ebelewo:
