Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, that after we were separated from them, and had lanched, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the [day] following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara:
Mgbe anyị hapụsịrị ha, anyị nyapụrụ ụgbọ anyị bịaruo Kos. Nʼechi ya, anyị rutere Rods. Anyị sitere nʼebe ahụ jeruo Patara.
2 And finding a ship sailing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
Mgbe anyị hụrụ ụgbọ mmiri na-aga Fonisia, anyị banyere nʼime ya kwọpụ.
3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
Mgbe anyị kwọruru ụgbọ anyị ebe anyị nwere ike ịhụ Saiprọs, anyị siri nʼaka ekpe ya gafee, ruo Siria. Anyị rutere nʼọnụ mmiri Taịa, ebe ụgbọ mmiri ga-akwapụ ibu dị nʼime ya.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Mgbe anyị chọtara ndị na-eso ụzọ ahụ, anyị nọnyere ha abalị asaa. Ha gwara Pọl site nʼike nke Mmụọ Nsọ, ka ọ ghara ịga Jerusalem.
5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed, and proceeded on our way; and they all conducted us with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city; and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
Mgbe anyị nọzuru ụbọchị anyị, anyị hapụrụ ha, bilie ije. Ha na nwunye ha na ụmụ ha so dupu ruo mgbe anyị si nʼobodo ahụ pụọ. Anyị na ha gburu ikpere nʼala nʼọnụ mmiri kpee ekpere.
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
Mgbe ahụ, anyị kelere onwe anyị ekele ikpeazụ. Emesịa, anyị banyere nʼime ụgbọ, ma ha laghachiri azụ nʼụlọ ha.
7 And when we had finished [our] course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Mgbe anyị hapụrụ Taịa, anyị kwụsịrị na Tolomas. Nʼebe a anyị kelekwara ndị kwere ekwe nọ nʼime obodo a, nọnyere ha naanị otu ụbọchị.
8 And the next [day] we that were of Paul's company departed, and came to Cesarea; and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was [one] of the seven; and abode with him.
Nʼụbọchị nke ọzọ ya, anyị gara nʼihu nʼije anyị rute Sizaria. Nʼebe ahụ, anyị nọnyeere otu nwanna anyị a na-akpọ Filip onye na-agbasa oziọma. Ọ bụ otu nʼime mmadụ asaa ahụ.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied.
O nwere ụmụ agbọghọ anọ ndị na-alụbeghị di. Ha nwekwara onyinye ibu amụma.
10 And as we tarried [there] many days, there came down from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Mgbe anyị nọrọ ọtụtụ ụbọchị nʼebe ahụ, ka otu onye amụma a na-akpọ Agabọs, si Judịa bata.
11 And when he had come to us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and will deliver [him] into the hands of the Gentiles.
Ọ bịakwutere anyị, chilite belịt Pọl na-eke nʼukwu, kee onwe ya nʼụkwụ na aka sị, “Dịka Mmụọ Nsọ kwuru, ‘otu a ka ndị ndu ndị Juu ga-eke onye nwe ihe a agbụ na Jerusalem. Ha ga-ararakwa ya nye nʼaka ndị mba ọzọ.’”
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Mgbe anyị nụrụ nke a, anyị na ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ rịọrọ Pọl ka ọ ghara ịga Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep, and to break my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Ma Pọl zaghachiri, “Gịnị ka unu na-eme, ọ bụ akwa ka unu na-ebe, na-eme ka obi gbawaa m? Nʼihi na ọ bụghị naanị na m dị njikere ka e kee m agbụ, kama ejikekwara m iwere ndụ m nye na Jerusalem nʼihi aha Onyenwe anyị Jisọs.”
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Ebe ọ na-ekweghị ege anyị ntị, anyị kwụsịrị ma sị, “Ka e mee uche Onyenwe anyị.”
15 And after those days we took up our furniture, and went up to Jerusalem.
Mgbe ụbọchị ndị a gasịrị, anyị jikere bilie ịga Jerusalem.
16 There went with us also [certain] of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Ụfọdụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ahụ ndị nọ na Sizaria, duuru anyị gaa, ha kpọruru anyị nʼụlọ Mnasin, onye Saiprọs ebe anyị ga-anọ dịka ọbịa, onye sitere na mbụ bụrụ onye na-eso ụzọ ahụ.
17 And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Mgbe anyị rutere Jerusalem, ndị ụmụnna jiri obi ụtọ nabata anyị.
18 And the [day] following Paul went in with us to James: and all the elders were present.
Nʼụbọchị nke so ya, anyị na Pọl gara ileta Jemis, ndị okenye niile nọkwa nʼebe ahụ.
19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
Mgbe o kelechara ha, ọ kọọrọ ha nʼotu nʼotu, ihe niile Chineke rụrụ nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ site nʼije ozi ya.
20 And when they heard [it], they glorified the Lord, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
Mgbe ha nụchara nke a, ha nyere Chineke otuto. Emesịa, ha sịrị Pọl, “Leenụ nwanna, otu ọtụtụ puku ndị Juu si bụrụ ndị kwere ekwe, ha niile ka ihe banyere iwu a na-anụ ọkụ nʼobi.
21 And they are informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying, That they ought not to circumcise [their] children, neither to walk after the customs.
A kọọrọla ha ihe banyere gị, na ị na-ezi ndị Juu bi nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ ka ha hapụ ịgbasokwa iwu Mosis, na ka ha kwụsịkwa ibi ụmụ ha ugwu maọbụ bie ndụ nʼusoro omenaala anyị.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
Gịnị ka anyị ga-eme ugbu a? O doro anya na ha ga-amata na ị bịara nʼebe a.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: we have four men who have a vow on them;
Ya bụ, jisie ike mee ihe anyị ga-agwa gị ugbu a. Anyị nwere mmadụ anọ nʼebe a, ndị nọ na nkwa ha kwere Chineke.
24 Take them, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave [their] heads: and all may know that those things of which they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but [that] thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
Soro ha mee omenaala ahụ nke ndị nọ na nkwa ji edo onwe ha ọcha. Kwụọrọ ha ụgwọ maka ịkpụcha isi ha. I mee otu a, mmadụ niile ga-amata na eziokwu adịghị nʼihe ndị a niile e kwuru maka gị, kama na gị onwe gị na-agazi ma na-edebekwa iwu.
25 As concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written [and] concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from [things] offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from lewdness.
Ma nʼebe ndị mba ọzọ kwere ekwe nọ, anyị edegarala ha akwụkwọ gwa ha kwụsị iri ihe ọbụla a chụrụ nʼaja nye arụsị, na iri ọbara, maọbụ anụ a nyagburu anyagbu, ya na ịkwa iko.”
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them, entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an offering should be offered for every one of them.
Pọl kpọọrọ ndị ikom anọ ndị ahụ tinyere onwe ya, nʼụbọchị so ya mee ka ya na ha dị ọcha. Mgbe ahụ, ọ banyere nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, maka ikwupụta ụbọchị ole mmemme ịdị ọcha ahụ ga-anọ tupu e mechaa ya, nakwa mgbe ịchụ aja nʼihi ha nʼotu nʼotu ga-abụ.
27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews who were from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
Ma mgbe ọ fọdụrụ nwa oge nta ka ụbọchị asaa ahụ gwụchaa, ụfọdụ ndị Juu si Eshịa bịa hụrụ ya nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Ha tikuru igwe mmadụ ma kpaliekwa ha. Ha jidere ya,
28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help. This is the man that teacheth all [men] every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further, hath brought Greeks also into the temple; and hath polluted this holy place.
na-eti mkpu, “Ndị ikom Izrel, nyerenụ anyị aka! Onye a bụ nwoke ahụ na-ejegharị nʼebe niile na-ezi ozizi megidere ndị nke anyị, iwu anyị nakwa ebe a. Ma nke kachasị nke, ọ merụọkwala ụlọnsọ a site nʼịkpọbata ndị Griik nʼime ya.”
29 (For they had seen before with him in the city, Trophimus, an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
(Nʼihi na ha ebula ụzọ hụ ya na Trofimọs onye Efesọs nʼime obodo, ha chere na Pọl kpọbatara ya nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.)
30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul and drew him out of the temple. And forthwith the doors were shut.
Ọgbaaghara jupụtara nʼobodo ahụ niile. Ndị mmadụ gbakọtara dọkpụpụta Pọl site nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Nʼotu mgbe ahụ, e mechiri ọnụ ụzọ niile.
31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Mgbe ha na-achọ igbu ya, ozi ruru ọchịagha ntị na Jerusalem niile nọ nʼọgbaaghara.
32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating Paul.
Otu mgbe ahụ o duuru ụfọdụ ndịisi agha ya na ndị agha ya mee ngwangwa bịaruo nʼebe ha nọ. Mgbe ha hụrụ ndị agha ka ha na-abịa, ha kwụsịrị iti Pọl ihe.
33 Then the chief captain came near and took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains: and inquired who he was, and what he had done.
Ọchịagha ahụ bịara jide ya, nye iwu ka e were ụdọ igwe abụọ kee ya agbụ, ọ jụkwara onye ọ bụ na ihe o mere.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
Ụfọdụ nʼime igwe mmadụ ahụ na-eti mkpu na-ekwu otu ihe, ebe ụfọdụ na-eti na-ekwu ihe ọzọ. Mgbe ọ na-apụghị ịchọpụta ihe bụ isi mkpọtụ na ọgbaaghara ahụ, o nyere iwu ka e duru ya gaa nʼogige ndị agha.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne by the soldiers, for the violence of the people.
Mgbe o rutere na mgbagolite ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ahụ, ndị agha bulitere ya elu nʼihi ọgbaaghara igwe ndị mmadụ dị ukwuu.
36 For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.
Igwe mmadụ ahụ so ha nọ na-eti mkpu, “Wepụnụ ya! Wepụnụ ya!”
37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said to the chief captain, May I speak to thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
Mgbe ha chọrọ iduba Pọl nʼime ogige ahụ, ọ sịrị ọchịagha ahụ, “Ị ga-ekwe ka m gwa gị okwu?” Ọ sịrị, “I maara asụ asụsụ ndị Griik?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian, who before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
Ọ pụtara na ị bụghị onye Ijipt ahụ malitere ọgbaaghara ma duuru puku ndị ogbu mmadụ anọ gbalaa nʼọzara?”
39 But Paul said, I am a man [who am] a Jew of Tarsus, [a city] of Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee suffer me to speak to the people.
Pọl sịrị, “Abụ m onye Juu si Tasọs, obodo dị na Silisia, nwa afọ oke obodo amara aha ya. Biko, kwee ka m gwa ndị mmadụ okwu.”
40 And when he had given him license, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand to the people. And when there was made entire silence, he spoke to [them] in the Hebrew language, saying,
Mgbe o nyere ya ikike, Pọl guzooro nʼihe nrigo nke ọnụ ụzọ ahụ fee aka ya ime ka ha nọọ duu. Mgbe ha nọdụrụ nwayọọ, ọ gwara ha okwu nʼasụsụ Hibru sị,
