Jesu Tondiba Tuona 21
1 Tin cabi ba ki fii, ki kua ku ñinbiagu, ti taa sansiedu ki gedi Kosi dogu nni, lan fiifandi, ke ti pundi Rodesi dogu nni, ki pendi lankani ki pundi Patara.
And it came to pass, at our sailing, having been parted from them, having run direct, we came to Coos, and the succeeding [day] to Rhodes, and thence to Patara,
2 Ti den la ñinbiagu ke ku caa fenesi po, ke ti kua gu.
and having found a ship passing over to Phenicia, having gone on board, we sailed,
3 Tin den nagi Cihipri kpendegli, ti den balni ki ŋa li ti ganu po, ki toli Siri po, ki gedi ki sedi Tiiri, ke bi tugdi ku ñinbiagu tuga.
and having discovered Cyprus, and having left it on the left, we were sailing to Syria, and did land at Tyre, for there was the ship discharging the lading.
4 Ti den la jesu ŋɔdkaaba, ki tieni lankani dana lele. Foŋanma den fandi ba ke bi waani Pɔli ke wan da gedi Erusalema.
And having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and they said to Paul, through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem;
5 Ti cangu ǹ den juodi likani, ke ti cabi ba, ki tugni ti sanu, ke bani yeni bi puoba yeni bi bila piadi ti hali ki ñani ti u dogu nni. Ke ti gbaani ki jaandi u ñinkunu.
but when it came that we completed the days, having gone forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and children, unto the outside of the city, and having bowed the knees upon the shore, we prayed,
6 Ti den cabi ba ki kua ku ñinbiagu, ke bi guaniki kuni bi denpo.
and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends.
7 Tin den pendi Tiri, tiden suagi ki gedi Pitolemayisi. Lankani, ti den fuondi tikpiiba, ki juadi yeni ba dayenli.
And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them;
8 Lan fiifandi, ke ti fii ki gedi Sesare, ki kua Filipi yua n tie ban den gandi ya nileledba o laabaalŋamo tundma po yen yendo deni, ki ye yeni o
and on the morrow Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist — who is of the seven — we remained with him,
9 Li nilo den pia bonpola taa, ke bi tie powandina, ki pua sawali.
and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying.
10 Tin tieni likani dana waamu, sawalpualo bá den ñani Jude, ki jiidi ki cua, ke bi yii o Agabusi,
And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name Agabus,
11 O den nagni tikani ki taa Pɔli gbanñagdu, ki loli o ya taana yeni o nui, ki yedi ne: “Foŋanma ń yedi yaali n ne, 'Maama ne i, ke Juufinba ba loli yua yeni ya gbanñagdu ne, ki mubni o bi nilanba nui nni'.”
and he having come unto us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having bound also his own hands and feet, said, 'Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle — so shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they shall deliver [him] up to the hands of nations.'
12 Tin gbadi lan ya maama, tinba yeni ya niba n ye likani kuli ń taani ki maadi Pɔli ke wan da gedi Jerusalema.
And when we heard these things, we called upon [him] — both we, and those of that place — not to go up to Jerusalem,
13 Ke Pɔli jiini, “Be yapo i, ke i buudi ki yagni n yama? Kelima, N bobni ki gbeni o, Li ki tie ke ban loli nni baba ka, ama ki go ke Jerusalema nni, O Diedo Jesu yeli po”
and Paul answered, 'What do ye — weeping, and crushing mine heart? for I, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, am ready, for the name of the Lord Jesus;'
14 Nani Pɔli ń den ki bua ke o cengi ti cegli yeni i, ti ji den ki ŋua ki niidi o, ti den yedi, “O Diedo yanbuama ń tieni lan buali maama”
and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, 'The will of the Lord be done.'
15 Lanya dana ń pendi, ke ti baani ti tuga ki doni ki gedi Jerusalema.
And after these days, having taken [our] vessels, we were going up to Jerusalem,
16 Bi ŋɔdkaaba den ñani Sesare, ki ŋɔdi ti lipo. Bi den yegi yeni nilo ke bi yii o Minasɔn, ke o tie Cihipri yua, ki den tie ŋɔdkaa, tin baa ye yeni yua.
and there went also of the disciples from Caesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple.
17 Tin pundi Jerusalema, ti kpiiba den ga ti cangu yeni li pamanli.
And we having come to Jerusalem, the brethren did gladly receive us,
18 Lan fiifandi, ke Pɔli gedi yeni ti Jaka kani, Kiristi nitaanli nikpelba kuli den ye likani.
and on the morrow Paul was going in with us unto James, all the elders also came,
19 Wan fuondi ba ki gbeni, ke o dugni ba U Tienu ń tieni yaali kuli bi nilanba siiga o tuonli sanu po.
and having saluted them, he was declaring, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministration,
20 Ban gbadi lani, ke bi dondi U Tienu, ki maadi o, “Ti kpiilo, a la ya niba n tuo ki dugi Jesu po Juufinba siiga ki luo tuda tuda. Bi kuli sedi taajala lie i, ki baa cɔlni li bali yikodi.
and they having heard, were glorifying the Lord. They said also to him, 'Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law,
21 Be maadi ba a maama, ke a tundi Juufinba yaaba n ye bi nilanba siigi, ki waani ba ke ban ŋa Moyiisi maama, ke ban da kɔndi bi bila, ki go da ŋua bi yaajanba bogda mo.
and they are instructed concerning thee, that apostasy from Moses thou dost teach to all Jews among the nations, saying — Not to circumcise the children, nor after the customs to walk;
22 Ti ji ba tieni ledi i? Li naa pia tama ke bi kan gbadi ke a cua ne.
what then is it? certainly the multitude it behoveth to come together, for they will hear that thou hast come.
23 Lanwani ii, ŋan tieni tin ba waani a yaali. Niba na ye ne ki niani U Tienu bi ñɔnianu.
'This, therefore, do that we say to thee: We have four men having a vow on themselves,
24 Taa li niba, fini yeni bani ń wuli ki ñani li kuali, ŋan pa bipo, ban kuo bi yudi. Lanwani ii, bi niba ba bandi ke ban maadi a po ya maama kuli tie tofaama. Bi ba bandi ke fini mɔko ŋua li bali yikodi.
these having taken, be purified with them, and be at expence with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning thee are nothing, but thou dost walk — thyself also — the law keeping.
25 Ama yaali n nua bi nilanba yaaba tuo ki ga Jesu sanŋɔdma po, ti diani ba li tisɔnkaali, ki waani ba ke ban cuo bi yula yani i buli padjiema, yeni mi sɔma, yeni mu yansɔdkamu nandi yeni mi conconma.”
'And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.'
26 Ke Pɔli taa li niba, ke li fiifandi ke o wuli yeni ba, ki ñani li kuali yeni ba, ki kua ku jaandiegu nni ki waani ban ba tieni ya dana yeni yukuli ń ba padi ya padli bi ŋanbma po.
Then Paul, having taken the men, on the following day, with them having purified himself, was entering into the temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the purification, till the offering was offered for each one of them.
27 Ban den bili ya danleleda ń nagi gbenma, ke Juufinba ñani Asi ki, ki la Pɔli ku jaandiegu nni, ke bi maadi ki fiini bi niba pala, ki cuo Pɔli.
And, as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring up all the multitude, and they laid hands upon him,
28 Bi den tandi ki tua “Israyeli niba, todi mani ti. Ya nilo n kpaagi ki tundi bi niba i kaankuli ya bona n ki cɔlni ti buolu, ti yikodi yeni tin kua naani ne. Lani baba ka; o go kuani bi nilanba ti jaandiegu nni, ki jɔgni lanya kaangagdiŋanmɔnu.”
crying out, 'Men, Israelites, help! this is the man who, against the people, and the law, and this place, all everywhere is teaching; and further, also, Greeks he brought into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place;'
29 Kelima bi den kpia ki la ke wani yeni Efesi yuaTrofima, ke bi yegi u dogu nni, ke bi maali ke o den kuani o ku jaandiegu nni i.
for they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul brought into the temple.
30 Li ñɔgli den tieni u dogu nni kuli, ke bi niba sani ki taani, ki cuo Pɔli. Bi den dadi ki ñani ku jaandiegu nni, ki luoni a bulñɔna kuli.
All the city also was moved and there was a running together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors shut,
31 Ban jagi ke ban kpa o, ke li maama kua sejenba yudaano tubli nni ke Jerusalema kuli ye li ŋmadli nni i.
and they seeking to kill him, a rumour came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem hath been thrown into confusion,
32 Lanyognu ke o taa sejenba ki sani ki jiidi ki pundi li ñɔgli kani. Bi niba ń sejenba yeni bi yudaano ke bi ŋa Pɔli yeni ti puadi.
who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, did leave off beating Paul.
33 Ke sejenba yudaano nagni ki cedi ke bi cuo Pɔli, ki cedi ke bi loli o yeni i kudseseli. Ke o buali wan tie yua yeni wan tieni yaali.
Then the chief captain, having come nigh, took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he hath been doing,
34 Bi niba den tandi ki maadi maayenma, ke tianba mo maadi maatɔma. Nani seje yudaano ń kan den fidi ki maadi libakuli kelima ku fuugu po yeni, o den cedi ke bi gedi yeni Pɔli li kpaadidiepaali nni.
and some were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried to the castle,
35 Ban den pundi a ŋmaada kani i, bi den tugi Pɔli kelima bi niba jadi den yabdi.
and when he came upon the steps, it happened he was borne by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude,
36 Kelima ku niwulgu den ŋua puoli ki yigni ki tua, “Ban gbeni o maama!”
for the crowd of the people was following after, crying, 'Away with him.'
37 Ban den bua kuani Pɔli li kpaadidiepaali nni ya yognu, ke o maadi seje yudaano, “N ba fidi ki maadi bonli i?” Seje yudaano ń buali o, “A maadi Gileki maama?
And Paul being about to be led into the castle, saith to the chief captain, 'Is it permitted to me to say anything unto thee?' and he said, 'Greek dost thou know?
38 Lanwani ŋaa tie Ejipti jua yua n den fiini mi janjanma ki kuani jakɔnda tuda na mi fanpienma nni ka aa?
art not thou, then, the Egyptian who before these days made an uprising, and did lead into the desert the four thousand men of the assassins?'
39 Pɔli ń yedi, “N tie Juufi, ki ñani Tarsi dociamu, Silisi diema nni. N tie dogcianmɔnu dotielo i. N mia ke ŋan cabi nni u sanu min maadi yeni ku niwulgu.
And Paul said, 'I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, of no mean city a citizen; and I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.'
40 Seje yudaano ń cabi o u sanu, ke Pɔli sedi a ŋmaada po ki duoni o nuu, ki gaani ki toli ku nilgu. Bi kuli ń suoni silbi, ke maadi ba Ebrewu maama nni ki yedi,
And he having given him leave, Paul having stood upon the stairs, did beckon with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:
