Acts 21
1 When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Patamali kulagana nawu, tayingili muwatu na kuhamba lumonga mbaka Kosi. Chilau yaki tahikili kumuji wa Lode, na patahumili kwenuko tikahamba kumuji wa Patala.
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
Kula taukolili watu wewihamba mbaka ku Foinike, ndi tikayingila na kuyendelela lugendu.
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
Ndi patahikili pandu patahotwili kulola Kuplo, tikahamba upandi wa kusini mbaka Silia. Tikahamba kuyima ku Tilo ndi pandu pa watu wula payahulusayi ndwika.
4 Having found the disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Kwenuko tavakoli vamsadika, tatamili nawu mulukumbi lwa lijuma limonga. Vamsadika venavo vakavya vilongela mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi, vakamjovela Pauli akotoka kuhamba ku Yelusalemu.
5 When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. And after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
Nambu lukumbi lwitu palwamaliki tavoha tawukili. Vawuliwa pamonga na vadala na vana vavi vatihindikili mbaka kuvala ya muji. Patahikili kumbwani tavoha tikafugama na kumuyupa Chapanga.
6 we said farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.
Kangi patamali kulagana nawu, tayingili muwatu na vene vakawuya kunyumba zavi.
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
Tete tayendalili na lugendu lwitu tahumili ku Tilo na kuhamba Tolemai kwetavajambwisi valongo vitu, tatamili nawu ligono limonga.
8 On the next day, we departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Chilau yaki tahumili penapo na kuhamba Kaisalia. Kwenuko tikatama kunyumba ya Filipi mkokosa wa Lilovi la Bwina. Mwene ndi avi mmonga wa vamtangatila saba vevahaguliwi ku Yelusalemu kula.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
Mwenuyu avi na vakamwali mcheche vevavi na chipanji cha kulota malovi ga Chapanga.
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Patatamili kwenuko magono gamahele, mlota mmonga wa Chapanga liina laki Agabo ahikili kuhuma ku Yudea.
11 Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit: 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of non-Jewish people.'"
Ndi atibwelili, akatola mkungi wa Pauli akajikunga mawoko na magendelu, akajova, “Mpungu Msopi ajovili aga, ‘Vayawudi va ku Yelusalemu kula yati vakumkunga mewa mundu mweavi na mkungi uwu na kumgotola kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi.’”
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Patayuwini genago, tete pamonga na vandu vangi vevavi penapo, tamuyupili Pauli akotoka kuhamba ku Yelusalemu.
13 Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
Nambu Pauli avayangwili, “Ndava kyani mwivemba? Na kunidenya mtima? Nijitendelekili, lepi ndava ya kukungiwa ndu ku Yelusalemu, nambu hati mewawa kufwa ndava ya liina la Bambu Yesu.”
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
Peabeli getamjovili tagunii tikajova, “Maganu ga Bambu gahengekayi!”
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
Patamali kutama mulukumbi, ndi takungili ndwika yitu, tayendalili na lugendu kuhamba ku Yelusalemu.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
Vamsadika nunuyu va ku Kaisalia valongosini na tete, vatipeliki kunyumba ya mundu mmonga liina laki Mnasoni, ndi mwetahambayi kutama kwa lukumbi. Mwenuyo avi mkolonjinji wa muji wa Kuplo, msadika wa kadeni.
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
Hinu patahikili ku Yelusalemu, vamsadika vayitu vatipokili kwa luheku.
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
Chilau yaki Pauli pamonga na tete tahambili kumjambusa Yakobo na vagogo voha va msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the non-Jewish people through his ministry.
Patamali kuvajambusa, Pauli avajovili mambu goha Chapanga geagahengili kwa vandu vangalikuvya Vayawudi munjila ya lihengu laki.
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law.
Ndi pavagayuwini ago, vakamulumba Chapanga. Kangi vakamjovela Pauli, “Mlongo, uhotola kulola kuvya vavi maelufu ga Vayawudi vevavi vamsadika hinu na voha vilanda cha kukangamala malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa.
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the non-Jews to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.
Vayuwini mambu gaku gewiwula Vayawudi vevitama pagati ya vandu vangalikuvya Vayawudi, kuvya vakotoka kulanda malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa, vakotoka kuvadumula jandu vana vavi kavili vakotoka kulanda mivelu ya Vayawudi.
22 What then? The multitude must certainly meet. They will hear that you have come.
Hinu tikita wuli? Chakaka yati viyuwana kuvya ubwelili.
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
Hinu kitayi ngati chetikujovela, penapa tivii na vagosi mcheche vevaviki chilapu kwa Chapanga.
24 Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Law.
Uwungana nawu mukuyupa kunyambiswa, ulipa mashonga gegiganikwa, kangi vaketewayi mayunju gavi. Ndi vandu voha yati vimanya kuvya mambu gala gevayuwini kukuvala veve gangali mana, ndi wamwene wakona witama na kulanda malagizu ga Malagizu ga Musa.
25 But concerning the non-Jewish who believe, we have written our decision that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality."
Nambu kuvavala vandu vangalikuvya Vayawudi vevasadiki, tivapelekili balua yetiyandiki mambu getihamwili, vakotoka kulya chindu chochoha chechiwusiwi luteta vachapanga va udese, vakotoka kunywa ngasi, na vakotoka kulya nyama ya hinyama yidodanu, vayepa ukemi.”
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
Hinu chilau yaki Pauli akavatola vandu vala muni ajinyambisa nawu pamonga, kangi akayingila Munyumba ya Chapanga, na kujova ligono la mwishu la kunyambiswa na luteta lweluwusiwa ndava ya kila mmonga.
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid hands on him,
Hinu magono gala saba pagihegelela kumalika, Vayawudi vevahumili wa Asia vamuwene Pauli Munyumba ya Chapanga. Ndi vakavakohokea ligoga msambi woha wa vandu, ndi vakamkamula.
28 crying out, "Men of Israel, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place."
Vakaywanga, “Vagosi va Isilaeli, mutitangatila! Mundu mwenuyu ndi mweakuvawula vandu kila pandu mambu gegibelana na vandu va Isilaeli, gegibesa malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa na pandu apa Pamsopi. Hati hinu avayingisi vandu vangali Vayawudi Munyumba ya Chapanga na kupahakasa pandu pamsopi.”
29 For they had previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
Vajovili genago ndava vamuwene Tofimo mkolonjinji wa ku Efeso, alongosini na Pauli kumujini, vakaholalela manya Pauli amuyingisi Munyumba ya Chapanga.
30 All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
Chitututu chadandasiki muji woha, vandu vakonganiki kuhuma pandi zoha, vakamukamula Pauli, vakamuhuta na kumuhumisa kuvala ya Nyumba ya Chapanga, na bahapo milyangu hikadindwa.
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Pavalingili kumkoma Pauli, malovi gala gakamhikila mkulu wa msambi wa ku Loma kuvya Yelusalemu yoha yimemili chitututu.
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
Bahapo mkulu wa msambi akavatola manjolinjoli na vachilongosi wavi, vakavajumbila kuhamba. Vayawudi pavamuwene mkulu wa msambi pamonga na manjolinjoli vakaleka kumtova Pauli.
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
Mkulu wa msambi yula akamhegelela Pauli, akamkamula na kulagiza akungiwayi minyololo yivili. Kangi akakota, “Mwenuyu ndi yani? Abudili kyani?”
34 Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
Vangi mu msambi wula vakavya mukuywanga vangi aga na vangi gala. Ndava ya chitututu, mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli amanyili lepi uchakaka wa mhalu waki. Ndi akahamula vandu vaki vampeleka mugati ya ngomi ya manjolinjoli.
35 When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
Pauli pahaikili pangazi, yavaganili manjolinjoli kumgega ndava ya chitututu cha vandu.
36 for the crowd of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him."
Ndava muni msambi wa vandu uvaha vamlandili kuni viywanga, “Mkomayi!”
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, "May I speak something to you?" He said, "Do you know Greek?
Pavamuyingisa mungomi, Pauli akamuyupa mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli yula, “Nihotola kukujovela chindu?” Mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli akamkota, “Wu, umanya kujova Chigiliki?
38 Are you not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
Wu, veve ndi Mmisili yula magono gegapitili atumbwili chitututu na kuvalongosa vakomaji elufu mcheche kuhamba kulugangatu?”
39 But Paul said, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people."
Pauli akayangula, “Nene na Myawudi, mkolonjinji wa ku Taso muji wa Kilikia, muji weutopeswa. Chondi niyidakila nilongela na vandu.”
40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
Mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli yula akamyidakila. Ndi Pauli akayima panani ya ngazi akavapungila vandu chiwoko, muni vaguna, akatumbula kulongela nawu muluga ya Chiebulania.
