Acts 21
1 When, at last, we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran in a straight course to Cos; the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Bangʼ kane wasegoyonegi oriti, ne wasiayo yie mi wakwangʼ e dier nam tir nyaka chula mar Kos. Kinyne ne watundo e chula mar Rodos, kendo kane waa kanyo, to ne wadhi mi wachopo Patara.
2 Finding a ship bound for Phoenicia, we went on board and put to sea.
Kuno newanwangʼe yie madhi Foinike, mine waidho kendo wachako kwangʼ.
3 After sighting Cyprus and leaving that island on our left, we continued our voyage to Syria and put in at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
Kane wasechopo kama koro ne wanyalo nenogo Saipras, ka waluwo yo modok milambo mare, ne wakwangʼ kwachomo Siria, mine wagowo Turo kama ne idhi lorie gik mane yiewa otingʼo.
4 Having searched for the disciples and found them, we stayed at Tyre for seven days; and, taught by the Spirit, they repeatedly urged Paul not to proceed to Jerusalem.
Ne wayudo jopuonjre kuno, kendo ne wabet kodgi kuom ndalo abiriyo. Kaka Roho Maler notelonigi, neginyiso Paulo ni kik odhi Jerusalem.
5 When, however, our time was up, we left and went on our way, all the disciples and their wives and children coming to see us off. Then, after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
Kata kamano, ka ndalo mane onego wabedgo kodgi norumo, ne wawuok kendo wadhi nyime gi wuodhwa. Jopuonjre duto, kaachiel gi mondegi kod nyithindgi, ne okowowa nyaka oko mar dalano, kendo kane wachopo e dho nam, to ne wagoyo chongwa piny mi walemo.
6 we took leave of one another; and we went on board, while they returned home.
Eka ne wagoyonegi oriti, bangʼe wadonjo e yie, ka gin to gidok miechgi.
7 As for us, our voyage was over when having sailed from Tyre we reached Ptolemais. here we inquired after the welfare of the brethren, and remained a day with them.
Ne wadhi nyime gi wuodhwa ka waa Turo, nyaka ne wagowo Potolomai, kuma ne wamosoe jowete, kendo ne wabet kodgi kuom odiechiengʼ achiel.
8 On the morrow we left Ptolemais and went on to Caesarea, where we came to the house of Philip the Evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Kinyne ne wawuok kanyo mi wachopo Kaisaria, kendo ne wabet e od Filipo jayalo, mane en achiel kuom jokony abiriyo.
9 Now Philip had four unmarried daughters who were prophetesses;
Filipo ne nigi nyiri angʼwen mapok okendi mane gin johul wach.
10 and during our somewhat lengthy stay a Prophet of the name of Agabus came down from Judaea.
Kane wasebet kodgi kuom ndalo moko, janabi ma nyinge Agaba nobiro irwa koa Judea.
11 When he arrived he took Paul's loincloth, and bound his own feet and arms with it, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the owner of this loincloth, and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'"
Kane ngʼatni ochopo irwa, nokawo okanda mar Paulo motweyogo bedene gi tiendene owuon, kendo owacho niya, “Roho Maler wacho kama: ‘Mana kaka atweyorani e kaka jo-Yahudi man Jerusalem biro tweyo wuon okandani mi gichiwe e lwet joma ok jo-Yahudi.’”
12 As soon as we heard these words, both we and the brethren at Caesarea entreated Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
Kane wawinjo wachno, wan kaachiel gi ji duto, ne wasayo Paulo mondo kik odhi Jerusalem.
13 His reply was, "What can you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief? Why, as for me, I am ready not only to go to Jerusalem and be put in chains, but even to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus."
To nodwokowa kowacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo uywak kendo unego chunya? An aikora ok mana ni twech kende, to kata ni tho e Jerusalem kuno, nikech nying Ruoth Yesu.”
14 So when he was not to be dissuaded, we ceased remonstrating with him and said, "The Lord's will be done!"
Kane wayudo ni ok onyal loko pache, to ne waweyo wachno, mi wawacho niya, “Ruoth Nyasaye mondo otim dwarone.”
15 A few days afterwards we loaded our baggage-cattle and continued our journey to Jerusalem.
Bangʼ mano ne waikore mi wadhi nyaka Jerusalem.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also joined our party, and brought with them Mnason, a Cyprian, one of the early disciples, at whose house we were to lodge.
Jopuonjre moko moa Kaisaria bende nodhi kodwa nyaka dala Manason, kama nonego wadagie. Manason ne en ja-Saipras, kendo ne en achiel kuom jopuonjre mane okwongo yie kuom Ruoth.
17 At length we reached Jerusalem, and there the brethren gave us a hearty welcome.
Kane wachopo Jerusalem, jowete norwakowa gi mor.
18 On the following day we went with Paul to call on James, and all the Elders of the Church came also.
Kinyne Paulo kaachiel kodwa nodhi mondo one Jakobo kendo jodongo duto nochokore kodwa.
19 After exchanging friendly greetings, Paul told in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his instrumentality.
Paulo nomosogi, eka nonyisogi weche duto kuom gik mane Nyasaye osetimo e kind joma ok jo-Yahudi e tichne mar lando Injili.
20 And they, when they had heard his statement, gave the glory to God. Then they said, "You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of Jews there are among those who have accepted the faith, and they are all zealous upholders of the Law.
Kane giwinjo mano, negipako Nyasaye, eka giwacho ni Paulo niya, “Owadwa Paulo, inyalo neno kaka jo-Yahudi gana gi gana oseyie kuom Ruoth Yesu, kendo kargi giduto giketo chunygi kuom luwo Chik.
21 Now what they have been repeatedly told about you is that you teach all the Jews among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, and that you forbid them to circumcise their children or observe old-established customs.
Osenyisgi ni ipuonjo jo-Yahudi modak e kind joma ok jo-Yahudi duto mondo kik gilu Chike Musa, kisemogi mondo kik giter nyithindgi nyangu kata kik gilu timbewa.
22 What then ought you to do? They are sure to hear that you have come to Jerusalem;
Koro wanyalo timo angʼo? Wangʼeyo ni gibiro ngʼeyo maonge kiawa ni isechopo ka,
23 so do this which we now tell you. We have four men here who have a vow resting on them.
omiyo yie kodwa mondo itim kaka wanyisi. Nitie chwo angʼwen e dierwa ka mosetimo singruok.
24 Associate with these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads. Then everybody will know that there is no truth in these stories about you, but that in your own actions you yourself scrupulously obey the Law.
Kaw jogi mondo idhi ipwodhri kaachiel kodgi, bangʼe ichulnegi nengo mar misengini monego gichul bangʼ pwodhruok, eka oliel yie wigi. Kitimo kamano, to ji duto biro kawo weche duto ma ji wacho kuomi kaka miriambo, kendo gibiro kawi kaka ngʼat moluwo Chik Musa.
25 But as for the Gentiles who have accepted the faith, we have communicated to them our decision that they are carefully to abstain from anything sacrificed to an idol, from blood, from what is strangled, and from fornication."
To kuom joma ok jo-Yahudi moyie, wasendikonegi kuom gimane buchwa ongʼado ni kik gicham chiemo motimgo misango ni nyiseche manono, kik ucham remo, gi ring jamni mode, kendo ni kik giterre.”
26 So Paul associated with the men; and the next day, having purified himself with them, he went into the Temple, giving every one to understand that the days of their purification were finished, and there he remained until the sacrifice for each of them was offered.
Kinyne Paulo nokawo jogo mi nopwodhore kaachiel kodgi, eka nodonjo e hekalu mondo onyisgi chiengʼ ma pwodhruokno norume, kod odiechiengʼ ma notimnie misango ni ngʼato ka ngʼato.
27 But, when the seven days were nearly over, the Jews from the province of Asia, having seen Paul in the Temple, set about rousing the fury of all the people against him.
Kane ndalo abiriyo mag pwodhruok chiegni rumo, jo-Yahudi moko moa e piny Asia noneno Paulo ei hekalu. Ne githuwo ji duto kode mi gimake,
28 They laid hands on him, crying out, "Men of Israel, help! help! This is the man who goes everywhere preaching to everybody against the Jewish people and the Law and this place. And besides, he has even brought Gentiles into the Temple and has desecrated this holy place."
ka gikok niya, “Jo-Israel, konywauru. Ma e ngʼat mapuonjo ji duto kamoro amora modhiye mondo gibed mamon kod jowa, gi chikewa kod hekaluwani. Kata sani osekelo nyaka jo-Yunani ei hekalu ka, mi odwanyo kama lerni.”
29 (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and imagined that Paul had brought him into the Temple.)
(Noyudo giseneno Trofimo ja-Efeso ka nigi Paulo e Jerusalem mi giparo ni dipo ka Paulo nosedonjo nyaka ei hekalu.)
30 The excitement spread through the whole city, and the people rushed in crowds to the Temple, and there laid hold of Paul and began to drag him out; and the Temple gates were immediately closed.
Wachno nomiyo koko ochakore ei Jerusalem duto, kendo ji moa koni gi koni nobiro karingo. Negimako Paulo mi giywaye gigole ei hekalu, bangʼe giloro dhorangeye duto.
31 But while they were trying to kill Paul, word was taken up to the Tribune in command of the battalion, that all Jerusalem was in a ferment.
Kane gichako goye mondo ginege, wach nochopo ni jatend lweny mar jo-Rumi, ni dala Jerusalem duto otimo koko.
32 He instantly sent for a few soldiers and their officers, and came down among the people with all speed. At the sight of the Tribune and the troops they ceased beating Paul.
Kuom mano, nokawo jotelo moko gi jolweny mi oringo odhi kodgi nyaka kuma ne oganda ochokore. Kane jokokogo oneno jatend lweny gi jolweny mane ni kode, ne giweyo goyo Paulo.
33 Then the Tribune, making his way to him, arrested him, and, having ordered him to be secured with two chains, proceeded to ask who he was and what he had been doing.
Jatelono nobiro momako Paulo, kendo nogolo chik mondo otweye gi nyoroche ariyo. Bangʼe nopenjogi niya, “Ngʼatni en ngʼa? To osetimo angʼo?”
34 Some of the crowd shouted one accusation against Paul and some another, until, as the uproar made it impossible for the truth to be ascertained with certainty, the Tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
Jomoko e chokruokno nokok kawacho gimoro achiel to jomoko ne wacho gimachielo makoro jatend lweny ne ok nyal ngʼeyo malongʼo gima notimore nikech koko, omiyo nogolo chik mondo oter Paulo kama askeche odakie.
35 When Paul was going up the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob;
Kane Paulo ochopo e ndiri midonjogo ka jolweny, jogo koro ne ger marach mi nochuno askeche mondo otingʼe.
36 for the whole mass of the people pressed on in the rear, shouting, "Away with him!"
Ogandano mane oluwogi nosiko kakok niya, “Negeuru.”
37 When he was about to be taken into the barracks, Paul said to the Tribune, "May I speak to you?" "Do you know Greek?" the Tribune asked.
Kane jolweny koro chiegni donjo gi Paulo kama gidakie, nokwayo jatendgi kowacho niya, “Yiena mondo awachni wach moro.” Jatend jolweny nodwoke kapenje niya, “Kare ingʼeyo dho jo-Yunani?
38 "Are you not the Egyptian who some years ago excited the riot of the 4,000 cut-throats, and led them out into the Desert?"
Donge aparo ni in e ja-Misri manyocha ochako koko e dalani kotelo ni jo-mahundu alufu angʼwen momanore gi gige lweny, nyaka e thim?”
39 "I am a Jew," replied Paul, "belonging to Tarsus in Cilicia, and am a citizen of no unimportant city. Give me leave, I pray you, to speak to the people."
Paulo nodwoke niya, “An ja-Yahudi monywol Tarso, e piny Kilikia. Kuom mano, ok aa e dala moro matin minyalo chayo. Kiyie, to miya thuolo awuo gi jogi.”
40 So with his permission Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people to be quiet; and when there was perfect silence he addressed them in Hebrew.
Kane jatend lweny osemiye thuolo mondo owuo, Paulo nochungʼ e raidhi, motingʼo ni ji bade mondo gilingʼ. Kane giselingʼ nowuoyo kodgi gi dho jo-Hibrania kowacho niya:
