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.
Buna tusia vambana yawu, tuyenda nate ku sanga ki Kosi. Mu lumbu kilanda bosi tuyenda ku Lodi bosi tutula ku Patala.
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
Bu tubuana masuwa maba mvioka ku Fenisi, tukota mu masuwa beni ayi tuyenda.
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.
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 Having found the disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not 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 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,
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 we said farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.
Bu tumana bumbakala beto yi beto, tukota mu masuwa bosi bawu bavutuka mu zinzo ziawu.
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
Bu tumanisa nzietolo eto mu maza, botuka ku Tile nate ku Pitolemayisi. Kuawu tuvanina bakhomba mboti. Lumbu kimvimba tukadila yawu.
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.
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 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
Bana baya babaketo baba yandi; basi zaba nitu yi dibakala ko. Dikaba di bikula diba yawu.
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Bu tuvuanda kuna bilumbu biwombo, buna mbikudi wumosiwuba ku Yuda dizina diandi Angabusi.
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.'"
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 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Bu tuwa mambu momo, beto ayi mikhuikizi mi Sezale tuleba Polo muingi kabika kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
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."
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 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
Bu tusia nunga ko mu balula mabanza mandi, tusia buela kunleba ko ayi tutuba: —Bika luzolo lu Pfumu luvangama!
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
Bilumbu bina bu bivioka, tukubika bima bieto ayi tuyenda ku Yelusalemi.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
Ndambu minlonguki minkaka mi Sezali miyenda yeto. Mitunata ku nzo Nasoni muisi Sipeli; niandi wuba nlonguki wuthama; kuidi niandi tuvuanda.
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
Bu tutula ku Yelusalemi, bakhomba zituyakula mu khini.
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
Mu lumbu kilanda Polo wutunata kuidi Zaki, kuna ku kutakana bakulutuboso ba dibundu.
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.
Buna Polo wuba vana mboti, Polo wuba kamba diambu dimosi-dimosidiodi Nzambi kavanga mu niandi kuidi Bapakanu.
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.
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 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.
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? The multitude must certainly meet. They will hear that you have come.
A buabu mbi tusia e? Bila ma bawa ti wutudidi kuaku.
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
Diawu tumimina mambu momo tueka kukamba: babakala baya badi yetovava bavengi tsila.
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.
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 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."
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 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.
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 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,
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 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."
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 previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him 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 moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were 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 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Bu batomba bu vondila Polo, tsangu yitula nate kuidi Pfumu masodi ma basi Loma ti khindu yeka mu Yelusalemi dioso.
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.
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 commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
Pfumu masodi wufikama vaba Polo, wunsimba ayi wutuma masodibakanga polo mu zisieni zizole. Bosi wuyuvula kani Polo niandi nani ayi diambu mbi kavengi.
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.
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 When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
Polo bu katula va kikada, masodi mannanguna mu diambu di nganzi yi batu bobo bakutakana vana.
36 for the crowd of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him."
Bila nkangu wu batu wuba kunlandakana wuba yamikina: —Kafua!
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?
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 before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
Ngeyo wisiko muisi Ezipiti, wowo wutotula khindu mu bilumbu bibedi, wuba kuenda natanga mili ziya zi mimvondi mu dikanga e?
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."
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 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,
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:
