< Acts 21 >

1 When we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran before the wind to Cos; the next day we came to Rhodes, and from there to Patara,
ཏཻ ཪྻིསྲྀཥྚཱཿ སནྟོ ཝཡཾ པོཏཾ བཱཧཡིཏྭཱ ཨྲྀཛུམཱརྒེཎ ཀོཥམ྄ ཨུཔདྭཱིཔམ྄ ཨཱགཏྱ པརེ྅ཧནི རོདིཡོཔདྭཱིཔམ྄ ཨཱགཙྪཱམ ཏཏསྟསྨཱཏ྄ པཱཏཱརཱཡཱམ྄ ཨུཔཱཏིཥྛཱམ།
2 where we found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, and went on board and set sail.
ཏཏྲ ཕཻནཱིཀིཡཱདེཤགཱམིནམ྄ པོཏམེཀཾ པྲཱཔྱ ཏམཱརུཧྱ གཏཝནྟཿ།
3 After sighting Cyprus and leaving it on the left, we sailed to Syria, and put into Tyre, where the ship was to discharge her cargo.
ཀུཔྲོཔདྭཱིཔཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ ཏཾ སཝྱདིཤི སྠཱཔཡིཏྭཱ སུརིཡཱདེཤཾ གཏྭཱ པོཏསྠདྲཝྱཱཎྱཝརོཧཡིཏུཾ སོརནགརེ ལཱགིཏཝནྟཿ།
4 There we found the disciples and stayed a week with them. Speaking under the influence of the Spirit, they warned Paul not to set foot in Jerusalem.
ཏཏྲ ཤིཥྱགཎསྱ སཱཀྵཱཏྐརཎཱཡ ཝཡཾ ཏཏྲ སཔྟདིནཱནི སྠིཏཝནྟཿ པཤྩཱཏྟེ པཝིཏྲེཎཱཏྨནཱ པཽལཾ ཝྱཱཧརན྄ ཏྭཾ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམྣགརཾ མཱ གམཿ།
5 However, when we had come to the end of our visit, we went on our way, all the disciples with their wives and children escorting us out of the city. We knelt down on the beach, and prayed,
ཏཏསྟེཥུ སཔྟསུ དིནེཥུ ཡཱཔིཏེཥུ སཏྶུ ཝཡཾ ཏསྨཱཏ྄ སྠཱནཱཏ྄ ནིཛཝརྟྨནཱ གཏཝནྟཿ, ཏསྨཱཏ྄ ཏེ སབཱལཝྲྀདྡྷཝནིཏཱ ཨསྨཱབྷིཿ སཧ ནགརསྱ པརིསརཔཪྻྱནྟམ྄ ཨཱགཏཱཿ པཤྩཱདྭཡཾ ཛལདྷིཏཊེ ཛཱནུཔཱཏཾ པྲཱརྠཡཱམཧི།
6 and then said goodbye to one another; after which we went on board, and they returned home.
ཏཏཿ པརསྤརཾ ཝིསྲྀཥྚཱཿ སནྟོ ཝཡཾ པོཏཾ གཏཱསྟེ ཏུ སྭསྭགྲྀཧཾ པྲཏྱཱགཏཝནྟཿ།
7 After we had made the run from Tyre, we landed at Ptolemais, and exchanged greetings with the followers there, and spent a day with them.
ཝཡཾ སོརནགརཱཏ྄ ནཱཝཱ པྲསྠཱཡ ཏལིམཱཡིནགརམ྄ ཨུཔཱཏིཥྛཱམ ཏཏྲཱསྨཱཀཾ སམུདྲཱིཡམཱརྒསྱཱནྟོ྅བྷཝཏ྄ ཏཏྲ བྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎཾ ནམསྐྲྀཏྱ དིནམེཀཾ ཏཻཿ སཱརྡྡྷམ྄ ཨུཥཏཝནྟཿ།
8 The next day we left, and reached Caesarea, where we went to the house of Philip, the missionary, who was one of the Seven, and stayed with him.
པརེ ྅ཧནི པཽལསྟསྱ སངྒིནོ ཝཡཉྩ པྲཏིཥྛམཱནཱཿ ཀཻསརིཡཱནགརམ྄ ཨཱགཏྱ སུསཾཝཱདཔྲཙཱརཀཱནཱཾ སཔྟཛནཱནཱཾ ཕིལིཔནཱམྣ ཨེཀསྱ གྲྀཧཾ པྲཝིཤྱཱཝཏིཥྛཱམ།
9 He had four unmarried daughters, who had the gift of prophecy.
ཏསྱ ཙཏསྲོ དུཧིཏརོ྅ནཱུཌྷཱ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདིནྱ ཨཱསན྄།
10 During our visit, which lasted several days, a prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judea.
ཏཏྲཱསྨཱསུ བཧུདིནཱནི པྲོཥིཏེཥུ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡདེཤཱད྄ ཨཱགཏྱཱགཱབནཱམཱ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདཱི སམུཔསྠིཏཝཱན྄།
11 He came to see us, and, taking Paul’s belt, and binding his own feet and hands with it, said, ‘This is what the Holy Spirit says – “The man to whom this belt belongs will be bound like this by the religious authorities in Jerusalem, and they will give him up to the Gentiles”.’
སོསྨཱཀཾ སམཱིཔམེཏྱ པཽལསྱ ཀཊིབནྡྷནཾ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ ནིཛཧསྟཱཔཱདཱན྄ བདྡྷྭཱ བྷཱཥིཏཝཱན྄ ཡསྱེདཾ ཀཊིབནྡྷནཾ ཏཾ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམནགར ཨིཏྠཾ བདྡྷྭཱ བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡཱནཱཾ ཀརེཥུ སམརྤཡིཥྱནྟཱིཏི ཝཱཀྱཾ པཝིཏྲ ཨཱཏྨཱ ཀཐཡཏི།
12 When we heard that, we and the people of the place began to entreat Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
ཨེཏཱདྲྀཤཱིཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཝཡཾ ཏནྣགརཝཱསིནོ བྷྲཱཏརཤྩ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམཾ ན ཡཱཏུཾ པཽལཾ ཝྱནཡཱམཧི;
13 It was then that Paul made the reply, ‘Why are you weeping and breaking my heart like this? For my part, I am ready not only to be bound, but even to suffer death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.’
ཀིནྟུ ས པྲཏྱཱཝཱདཱིཏ྄, ཡཱུཡཾ ཀིཾ ཀུརུཐ? ཀིཾ ཀྲནྡནེན མམཱནྟཿཀརཎཾ ཝིདཱིརྞཾ ཀརིཥྱཐ? པྲབྷོ ཪྻཱིཤོ རྣཱམྣོ ནིམིཏྟཾ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམི བདྡྷོ བྷཝིཏུཾ ཀེཝལ ཏནྣ པྲཱཎཱན྄ དཱཏུམཔི སསཛྫོསྨི།
14 So, as he would not be persuaded, we said no more to him, only adding – ‘The Lord’s will be done.’
ཏེནཱསྨཱཀཾ ཀཐཱཡཱམ྄ ཨགྲྀཧཱིཏཱཡཱམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ ཡཐེཙྪཱ ཏཐཻཝ བྷཝཏྭིཏྱུཀྟྭཱ ཝཡཾ ནིརསྱཱམ།
15 At the end of our visit, we made our preparations, and started on our way up to Jerusalem.
པརེ྅ཧནི པཱཐེཡདྲཝྱཱཎི གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམཾ པྲཏི ཡཱཏྲཱམ྄ ཨཀུརྨྨ།
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, and brought Mnason with them, a Cypriot disciple of long standing, with whom we were to stay.
ཏཏཿ ཀཻསརིཡཱནགརནིཝཱསིནཿ ཀཏིཔཡཱཿ ཤིཥྱཱ ཨསྨཱབྷིཿ སཱརྡྡྷམ྄ ཨིཏྭཱ ཀྲྀཔྲཱིཡེན མྣཱསནྣཱམྣཱ ཡེན པྲཱཙཱིནཤིཥྱེན སཱརྡྡྷམ྄ ཨསྨཱབྷི ཪྻསྟཝྱཾ ཏསྱ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨསྨཱན྄ ནཱིཏཝནྟཿ།
17 On our arrival at Jerusalem, the followers of the Lord there gave us a hearty welcome;
ཨསྨཱསུ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམྱུཔསྠིཏེཥུ ཏཏྲསྠབྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎོ྅སྨཱན྄ ཨཱཧླཱདེན གྲྀཧཱིཏཝཱན྄།
18 and the next day Paul went with us to see James, and all the church elders were present.
པརསྨིན྄ དིཝསེ པཽལེ྅སྨཱབྷིཿ སཧ ཡཱཀཱུབོ གྲྀཧཾ པྲཝིཥྚེ ལོཀཔྲཱཙཱིནཱཿ སཪྻྭེ ཏཏྲ པརིཥདི སཾསྠིཏཱཿ།
19 After greeting them, Paul related in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his efforts;
ཨནནྟརཾ ས ཏཱན྄ ནཏྭཱ སྭཱིཡཔྲཙཱརཎེན བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡཱན྄ པྲཏཱིཤྭརོ ཡཱནི ཀརྨྨཱཎི སཱདྷིཏཝཱན྄ ཏདཱིཡཱཾ ཀཐཱམ྄ ཨནུཀྲམཱཏ྄ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄།
20 and, when they had heard it, they began praising God, and said to Paul: ‘You see, brother, that those of our people who have become believers in Christ may be numbered by tens of thousands, and they are all naturally earnest in upholding the Jewish Law.
ཨིཏི ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཏེ པྲབྷུཾ དྷནྱཾ པྲོཙྱ ཝཱཀྱམིདམ྄ ཨབྷཱཥནྟ, ཧེ བྷྲཱཏ ཪྻིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ མདྷྱེ བཧུསཧསྲཱཎི ལོཀཱ ཝིཤྭཱསིན ཨཱསཏེ ཀིནྟུ ཏེ སཪྻྭེ ཝྱཝསྠཱམཏཱཙཱརིཎ ཨེཏཏ྄ པྲཏྱཀྵཾ པཤྱསི།
21 Now they have heard it said about you, that you teach all of our people in foreign countries to forsake Moses, for you tell them not to circumcise their children or even to observe Jewish customs.
ཤིཤཱུནཱཾ ཏྭཀྪེདནཱདྱཱཙརཎཾ པྲཏིཥིདྷྱ ཏྭཾ བྷིནྣདེཤནིཝཱསིནོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱན྄ མཱུསཱཝཱཀྱམ྄ ཨཤྲདྡྷཱཏུམ྄ ཨུཔདིཤསཱིཏི ཏཻཿ ཤྲུཏམསྟི།
22 Well now, as they are certain to hear of your arrival, do what we are going to suggest.
ཏྭམཏྲཱགཏོསཱིཏི ཝཱརྟྟཱཾ སམཱཀརྞྱ ཛནནིཝཧོ མིལིཏྭཱཝཤྱམེཝཱགམིཥྱཏི; ཨཏཨེཝ ཀིཾ ཀརཎཱིཡམ྄? ཨཏྲ ཝཡཾ མནྟྲཡིཏྭཱ སམུཔཱཡཾ ཏྭཱཾ ཝདཱམསྟཾ ཏྭམཱཙར།
23 We have four men here, who have of their own accord put themselves under a vow.
ཝྲཏཾ ཀརྟྟུཾ ཀྲྀཏསངྐལྤཱ ཡེ྅སྨཱཾཀ ཙཏྭཱརོ མཱནཝཱཿ སནྟི
24 Join these men, share their purification, and bear their expenses, so that they may shave their heads; and then all will see that there is no truth in what they have been told about you, but that, on the contrary, you yourself rule your life in obedience to the Jewish Law.
ཏཱན྄ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ ཏཻཿ སཧིཏཿ སྭཾ ཤུཙིཾ ཀུརུ ཏཐཱ ཏེཥཱཾ ཤིརོམུཎྜནེ ཡོ ཝྱཡོ བྷཝཏི ཏཾ ཏྭཾ དེཧི། ཏཐཱ ཀྲྀཏེ ཏྭདཱིཡཱཙཱརེ ཡཱ ཛནཤྲུཏི རྫཱཡཏེ སཱལཱིཀཱ ཀིནྟུ ཏྭཾ ཝིདྷིཾ པཱལཡན྄ ཝྱཝསྠཱནུསཱརེཎེཝཱཙརསཱིཏི ཏེ བྷོཏྶནྟེ།
25 As to the Gentiles who have become believers in Christ, we have sent our decision that they should avoid food offered to idols, and blood, and the flesh of strangled animals, and impurity.’
བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡཱནཱཾ ཝིཤྭཱསིལོཀཱནཱཾ ནིཀཊེ ཝཡཾ པཏྲཾ ལིཁིཏྭེཏྠཾ སྠིརཱིཀྲྀཏཝནྟཿ, དེཝཔྲསཱདབྷོཛནཾ རཀྟཾ གལཔཱིཌནམཱརིཏཔྲཱཎིབྷོཛནཾ ཝྱབྷིཙཱརཤྩཻཏེབྷྱཿ སྭརཀྵཎཝྱཏིརེཀེཎ ཏེཥཱམནྱཝིདྷིཔཱལནཾ ཀརཎཱིཡཾ ན།
26 Paul joined the men, and the next day shared their purification, and went into the Temple, and gave notice of the expiration of the period of purification when the usual offering should have been made on behalf of each of them.
ཏཏཿ པཽལསྟཱན྄ མཱནུཥཱནཱདཱཡ པརསྨིན྄ དིཝསེ ཏཻཿ སཧ ཤུཙི རྦྷཱུཏྭཱ མནྡིརཾ གཏྭཱ ཤཽཙཀརྨྨཎོ དིནེཥུ སམྤཱུརྞེཥུ ཏེཥཱམ྄ ཨེཀཻཀཱརྠཾ ནཻཝེདྱཱདྱུཏྶརྒོ བྷཝིཥྱཏཱིཏི ཛྙཱཔིཏཝཱན྄།
27 But, just as the seven days were drawing to a close, some of the Jewish people from Roman Asia caught sight of Paul in the Temple, and caused great excitement among all the people present, by seizing Paul and shouting,
ཏེཥུ སཔྟསུ དིནེཥུ སམཱཔྟཀལྤེཥུ ཨཱཤིཡཱདེཤནིཝཱསིནོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱསྟཾ མདྷྱེམནྡིརཾ ཝིལོཀྱ ཛནནིཝཧསྱ མནཿསུ ཀུཔྲཝྲྀཏྟིཾ ཛནཡིཏྭཱ ཏཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ
28 ‘People of Israel! Help! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people, our Law, and this place; and, what is more, he has actually brought Greeks into the Temple and defiled this sacred place.’
པྲོཙྩཻཿ པྲཱཝོཙན྄, ཧེ ཨིསྲཱཡེལློཀཱཿ སཪྻྭེ སཱཧཱཡྻཾ ཀུརུཏ། ཡོ མནུཛ ཨེཏེཥཱཾ ལོཀཱནཱཾ མཱུསཱཝྱཝསྠཱཡཱ ཨེཏསྱ སྠཱནསྱཱཔི ཝིཔརཱིཏཾ སཪྻྭཏྲ སཪྻྭཱན྄ ཤིཀྵཡཏི ས ཨེཥཿ; ཝིཤེཥཏཿ ས བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡལོཀཱན྄ མནྡིརམ྄ ཨཱནཱིཡ པཝིཏྲསྠཱནམེཏད྄ ཨཔཝིཏྲམཀརོཏ྄།
29 (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in Paul’s company in the city, and were under the belief that Paul had taken him into the Temple.)
པཱུཪྻྭཾ ཏེ མདྷྱེནགརམ྄ ཨིཕིཥནགརཱིཡཾ ཏྲཕིམཾ པཽལེན སཧིཏཾ དྲྀཥྚཝནྟ ཨེཏསྨཱཏ྄ པཽལསྟཾ མནྡིརམདྷྱམ྄ ཨཱནཡད྄ ཨིཏྱནྭམིམཏ།
30 The whole city was stirred, and the people quickly collected, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the Temple, when the doors were immediately shut.
ཨཏཨེཝ སཪྻྭསྨིན྄ ནགརེ ཀལཧོཏྤནྣཏྭཱཏ྄ དྷཱཝནྟོ ལོཀཱ ཨཱགཏྱ པཽལཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ མནྡིརསྱ བཧིརཱཀྲྀཥྱཱནཡན྄ ཏཏྐྵཎཱད྄ དྭཱརཱཎི སཪྻྭཱཎི ཙ རུདྡྷཱནི།
31 They were bent on killing him, when it was reported to the officer commanding the garrison, that all Jerusalem was in commotion.
ཏེཥུ ཏཾ ཧནྟུམུདྱཏེཥུ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམྣགརེ མཧཱནུཔདྲཝོ ཛཱཏ ཨིཏི ཝཱརྟྟཱཡཱཾ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏེཿ ཀརྞགོཙརཱིབྷཱུཏཱཡཱཾ སཏྱཱཾ ས ཏཏྐྵཎཱཏ྄ སཻནྱཱནི སེནཱཔཏིགཎཉྩ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ ཛཝེནཱགཏཝཱན྄།
32 He instantly got together some officers and soldiers, and charged down on the crowd, who, when they saw the commanding officer and his soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
ཏཏོ ལོཀཱཿ སེནཱགཎེན སཧ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏིམ྄ ཨཱགཙྪནྟཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ པཽལཏཱཌནཱཏོ ནྱཝརྟྟནྟ།
33 Then he went up to Paul, arrested him, ordered him to be doubly chained, and proceeded to inquire who he was, and what he had been doing.
ས སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏིཿ སནྣིདྷཱཝཱགམྱ པཽལཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ ཤྲྀངྑལདྭཡེན བདྡྷམ྄ ཨཱདིཤྱ ཏཱན྄ པྲྀཥྚཝཱན྄ ཨེཥ ཀཿ? ཀིཾ ཀརྨྨ ཙཱཡཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄?
34 Some of the crowd said one thing, and some another; and, as he could get no definite reply because of the uproar, he ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks.
ཏཏོ ཛནསམཱུཧསྱ ཀཤྩིད྄ ཨེཀཔྲཀཱརཾ ཀཤྩིད྄ ཨནྱཔྲཀཱརཾ ཝཱཀྱམ྄ ཨརཽཏ྄ ས ཏཏྲ སཏྱཾ ཛྙཱཏུམ྄ ཀལཧཀཱརཎཱད྄ ཨཤཀྟཿ སན྄ ཏཾ དུརྒཾ ནེཏུམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཔཡཏ྄།
35 When Paul reached the steps, he was actually being carried by the soldiers, owing to the violence of the mob;
ཏེཥུ སོཔཱནསྱོཔརི པྲཱཔྟེཥུ ལོཀཱནཱཾ སཱཧསཀཱརཎཱཏ྄ སེནཱགཎཿ པཽལམུཏྟོལྱ ནཱིཏཝཱན྄།
36 for the people were following in a mass, shouting out, ‘Kill him!’
ཏཏཿ སཪྻྭེ ལོཀཱཿ པཤྩཱདྒཱམིནཿ སནྟ ཨེནཾ དུརཱིཀུརུཏེཏི ཝཱཀྱམ྄ ཨུཙྩཻརཝདན྄།
37 Just as he was about to be taken into the Fort, Paul said to the commanding officer, ‘May I speak to you?’ ‘Do you know Greek?’ asked the commanding officer.
པཽལསྱ དུརྒཱནཡནསམཡེ ས ཏསྨཻ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏཡེ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄, བྷཝཏཿ པུརསྟཱཏ྄ ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐཡིཏུཾ ཀིམ྄ ཨནུམནྱཏེ? ས ཏམཔྲྀཙྪཏ྄ ཏྭཾ ཀིཾ ཡཱུནཱནཱིཡཱཾ བྷཱཥཱཾ ཛཱནཱསི?
38 ‘Aren’t you, then, the Egyptian who some time ago raised an insurrection and led the four thousand Bandits out into the wilderness?’

39 ‘No,’ said Paul, ‘I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a city of some note. I beg you to give me permission to speak to the people.’
ཏདཱ པཽལོ྅ཀཐཡཏ྄ ཨཧཾ ཀིལིཀིཡཱདེཤསྱ ཏཱརྵནགརཱིཡོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡོ, ནཱཧཾ སཱམཱནྱནགརཱིཡོ མཱནཝཿ; ཨཏཨེཝ ཝིནཡེ྅ཧཾ ལཱཀཱནཱཾ སམཀྵཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐཡིཏུཾ མཱམནུཛཱནཱིཥྭ།
40 The commanding officer gave his permission, and Paul, standing on the steps, made signs with his hand to the people, and, when comparative silence had been obtained, he said to them in Hebrew:
ཏེནཱནུཛྙཱཏཿ པཽལཿ སོཔཱནོཔརི ཏིཥྛན྄ ཧསྟེནེངྒིཏཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄, ཏསྨཱཏ྄ སཪྻྭེ སུསྠིརཱ ཨབྷཝན྄། ཏདཱ པཽལ ཨིབྲཱིཡབྷཱཥཡཱ ཀཐཡིཏུམ྄ ཨཱརབྷཏ,
