< Acts 21 >
1 When we had departed 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.
Muda tubile twatilekana nabo, na twatisafiri mubahari, tuiikite moja kwa moja pa'mji wa Kosi, na malabo yake tuikite mji wa Rodo, na boka kolyo tuikite mji wa Ptara.
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
Tupatike meli yayoka kuyenda Foinike, twatisafiri na meli yoo.
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
Patuikite nnongi ya kisiwa cha Kipro, tuilekite upande wa mashoto, tuikite mpaka Siria, twaitosa nanga katika mji wa Tiro, kwa mana kolyo nga meli yatipakulilwa lishehena lyake.
4 Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Baada ya kuabona banafunzi, twatama masoba saba. Banafunzi aba bammakiya Paulo pitya kwa Roho panga ywembe kana ayende Yerusalemu.
5 When those days were over, 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. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
Hata patuitimize masoba ago, twenga twatiboka kuyenda zetu. Bote pamope, na alwawa babe na bana babe, batitusindikiza katika ndela yitu mpaka patuboi panja ya mji. Boka po twatipiga magoti pwani, na kuloba, twatiagana kila yumo.
6 After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
Twapanda mu'meli, na bembe batikerebuka kae munyumba yabe.
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
Patuyomwile safari yitu boka Tiro, tuikite Tolemai. Palo tuasimamii alongo, na tama nabo kwa lisoba limo.
8 On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Malabo yake tubokite kuyenda Kaisaria. Twenga tujingii munyumba ya Filipo, muhubiri wa injili, ywabile yumo wa balo saba, ni twenga tutami pamope naye.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
Mundu yolo abile na alombo ncheche makikra ambao baritabiri.
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Baada ya tama kwa masoba kadhaa, atiuluka boka Uyahudi nabii yumo ywa kemelwa Agabo.
11 Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
Ywembe atiisa kwitu na atiutola mkanda wa Paulo. kwa huo atiyataba magolo na maboko gake mwene nobaya, “Roho Mtakatifu abaya nyoo,” “Bayahudi ba Yerusalemu balowa kuntaba mundu ywamilikiya mkando wolo, nibembe balowa kunkabidhi mumaboko ga bandu ba mataifa.”
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Patuyowine makowe aga, twenga na bandu babile atama mahali palo twatimsihi Paulo kana ayende Yerusalemu.
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.”
Nga Paulo kayangwa, “Mupanga kele, mwalela na kunivunja mwoyo wango? Kwa mana nibile tayari, kufungwa kwaa kae, lakini pia bulagwa kolyo Yerusalemu kwa ajili ya lina lya Ngwana Yesu.”
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
Kwa mana Paulo apala kwaa kushawishiwa, tulekite no baya, “Bai mapenzi ya Ngwana yapangike.”
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
Baada ya masoba aga, tutolile mifuko yitu na kupanda kuyenda Yerusalemu.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
Baadhi ya banafunzi boka Kaisaria pia batikengamana na twenga. Batinneta mundu yumo ywakemelwa Mnasoni, mundu wa Kipro, mwanafunzi wa zamani, ambaye tutami naye.
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
Patuikite Yerusalemu, alongo balitukaribisha kwa puraha.
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
Malabo yake Paulo atiyenda pamope na twenga kwa Yakobo, na apindo bote babile poo.
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked amongst the Gentiles through his ministry.
Baada ya kuwasalimu, alibapeya taarifa yimo baada ya yenge ya makowe ambayo Nnongo apangite nkati ya mataifa kwopitya huduma yake.
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are amongst the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
Muda bayowine ago, batimsifu Nnongo, na kummakiya, “Ubweni, alongo, kubile na maelfu ilenga baaminiya nkati ya Ayahudi. Bembe bote babile na nia ya kuikamwa saliya.
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are amongst the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
Babakilwe kuhusu wenga, panga wafundisha Ayahudi batama kati ya mataifa kunleka Musa, na panga uwabakiye kana baatahiri bana babe, na kana baipange desturi ya zamani.
22 What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
Tupalikwa panga namani? Bila shaka balowa yowa kuwa weka uisile.
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
Nga nyo upange chelo ambacho twenga twakubakiya nambeambe: tubile na bandu ncheche ambao batiweka nadhiri.
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.
Watole bandu aba na ujitakase mwene pamope nabembe, na uwalipiye gharama yabo, ili waweze kunyoa ntwe wabe. Nga nyoo kila yumo apate kuyowa panga makowe gaamakiwe kuhusu wenga ni ubocho. Balowa kujifunza panga wenga kae uikengama saliya.
25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
Lakini kwa habari ya mataifa ambao babile baumini, twaandikiye na kutoa maagizo panga bapalikwa kujiepusha na ilebe vyatitolewa dhabihu kwa sanamu, na myai, bokana na chelo chakinyongwa, na bajiepushe na umalaya.”
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
Nga nyo, Paulo atibatola analome na lisoba lya nyaibele, atijitakasa mwene pamope nabembe, na kujingya mu'hekalu, kutangaza kipindi cha masoba ya kujitakasa, mpaka sadaka yatolewa kwa ajili ya kila yumo wao.
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
Masoba ago saba payakaribie yomoka, baadhi ya Bayahudi boka Asia bamweni Paulo mu'lihekalu, na makutano batikasirika, na kunnyoshea maboko.
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!”
Babile bakikombwa ndoti, “Bandu ba Israeli, mutusaidie. Ayoo nga yolo mundu ywafundisha bandu kila mahali makowe ambayo ni kunchogo na bandu, saliya, na mahali pano. Pia atibaleta Ayunani katika lihekalu na kupanajisi mahali pano patakatifu.”
29 For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
Kwa mana mwanzo babile bamweni Trofimo Muefeso abile pamope niywembe mjini, na bembe patangite panga Paulo annetike mulihekalu.
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.
Mji wote ubile na taharuki, na bandu babutuka pamope ni kunkamwa Paulo. Patintoa panja ya lihekalu, na nnango mara itabilwe.
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.
Pababile bakijaribu kummulaga, habari iikite kwa nkolo wa jeshi lya alinzi kuwa Yerusalemu yote ibile itwelilwe ghasia.
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.
Mara iyo atibatola askari na jemedari atikibutukia kipenga sa bandu. Muda bandu bamweni nkolo ba jeshi na askari atimkaribia na kunkamwa Paulo.
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and enquired who he was and what he had done.
Boka po nkolo wa jeshi atiamuru atabwe minyororo ibele. Kannaluya wenga wa nyai na upangite kele.
34 Some shouted one thing and some another, amongst the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
Baadhi ya bandu katika kipenga babile batipayuka kilebe cheno benge chelo. Kwa mana jemedari aweza kwaa kuwamakiya chochote kwa sababu ya yelo ndoti, atiamuri Paulo aletwe mkati ya ngome.
35 When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
Bai paakite mu'ngazi, atitolewa na askari kwa sababu za kipenga sa bandu.
36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
Maana kipenga sa bandu batikengamana na yendelea kukombwa ndoti, “muntole yolo!”
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
Paulo paabile atiletwa nkati ya ngome, atimmakiya nkolo wa jeshi, “Naweza kukumakiya kilebe?” Yolo nkolo wa jeshi kabaya, “Je walongela kiyunani?
38 Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
Je wenga wa Mmisri ambaye awali utiongoza uasi na kubatola magaidi elfu ncheche mmwitu?”
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.”
Paulo kabaya, “Nenga na Myahudi, boka mji wa Tarso ya Kilikia. Nenga ni raia wa mji maarufu. Naaloba, mniruhusu nilongele na bandu.”
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,
Muda jemedari ampeya ruhusa, Paulo ayemi pa'ngazi na kutoa ishara kwa bandu kwa luboko lwake. Muda woo pabile na ukimya muno, akalongela nabo kwa Kiebrania. kabaya.
