Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 21
1 Mbe mu mwanya ogwo chaliga chasigene nabho, chili mulugendo lwa Inyanja, nchigenda lugendo lumwi nichikinga mu musi gwa kosi, Mbe mwejo yendeko nichikinga mu musi gwa Rodo, nokusoka eyo nichikinga mu musi gwaPatara.
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.
2 Chejile chikabhona imeli inu yambhukaga okuja Foinike, chalinyile nichigenda mulugendo.
Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
3 Chejile chikakinga imbhele ya lisinga lwa Kipro, nichiisiga kulubhala lwe bhumosi, mbe nchigendelela nchikinga Siria, nichilasa inanga mu musi gwa Tiro, kunsoga eyo niyo imeli yendaga okushola ebhinu bhinu yaliga iikile.
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.
4 Bhejile bhakabhalola abheigisibhwa, nichinyanja eyo naku musanju. Abheigisibhwa bhanu mbhamubhwila Paulo mu Mwoyo ati mwenene atataja Yerusalemu.
Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 Chejile chakumisha jinaku jilya, eswe nchisokao nchija Jeswe. Bhona amwi, na abhagasi bhwebhwe na bhana bhwebhwe, bhachiyelegesishe munjila jeswe okukinga Anu chasokele Anja yo musi. Okumala nichifukama kunjejekela, nchisabhwa, nichilagana na bhuli munu.
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.
6 Nchilinya mu meli, eyo nabho bhasubha ikewebhwe lindi.
After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
7 Chejile chikamala olugendo lweswe okusoka Tiro, nchikinga Tolemai. Elya chakesishe abhasu no kwiyanja nabho kwo lunaku lumwi.
When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
8 Mwejo yendeko chemukile nichigenda Kaisaria. Eswe nichingila ika ewa Filipo, omusimusi wo musango gwo bhwana, oyo aliga umwi wa bhaliya musanju, neswe nichinyanja amwi nage.
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.
9 Omunu unu aliga ali na abhayalakaji bhana bhayalajuma bhanu bhaliga nibhalikisha.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Wejile enyanja eyo naku nyafuo, natelemuka okusoka bhuyaudi omulagi umwi oyo aliga nabhilikilwa Agabho.
As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 Omwene ejile kwiswe no kugega lifwata lwa Paulo. kugwo abhoyele amagulu na amabhoko gae omwene no kwaika, “Mwoyo Mwelu kaika kutya,” “Abhayaudi bha Yerusalemu abhaja omubhoya omunu unu kajotunga lifwata linu nabho abhamutula mu mabhoko ga bhanu bha maanga.”
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.’”
12 Chejile chongwa emisango ejo, eswe na bhanu bhanu bhaliga bhekae ebhala lilya nchimukomelesha Paulo asige kuja Yerusalemu.
When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Nio Paulo nasubhya, “omukola chiya, omulila no kunyita omwoyo? Kulwo kubha nimalilie, atali okubhoywa-la, nawe no kufwila eyo Yerusalemu kulwa lisina lwa Latabugenyi.
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.”
14 Kubhunu Paulo aliga atakwenda kukongibhwa, chasigile no kwaika,”mbe okwenda kwa Latabhugenyi kukoleke.
When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15 Okumala jinaku jinu, nichigega emifuko jeswe nichilinya okuja Yerusalemu.
After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Abheigisibhwa abhandi mbhasokao Kaisaria one mbhalubhana neswe. Nibhamuleta munu umwi oyo aliga natogwa Mnasoni, omunu wa Kipro, omwiigisibhwa wa kala, unu chenyanjile nage.
Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17 Chejile chakinga, Yerusalemu abhasu bhachikumile kwo bhukondeleywe.
When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Obhuchee bhendeko Paulo agendele amwi neswe ewa Yakobho, nabhakaluka bhona bhaliga bhalio.
The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19 Ejile amala obhukesha, nabhatondela chimwi chimwi ku ganu Nyamuanga akolaga mu bha maanga okulubhana ne milimu jae.
When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 Omwanya ogwo Bhejile bongwa ago, bhamukusha Nyamuanga, no kumubhwila, “oulola, abhasu, bhalio bhiubhi billinga bhanu bhekilisishe mu bhayaudi. Abho bhona bhali ne bhiganilisho bhyo kugwata ebhilagilo.
They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
21 Bhabhwiliwe okulubhana nawe ati owiigisha abhayaudi bhanu bhekae agati ya maanga no kusigana na Musa, na ati oubhabhwila bhasige okutenda abhana bhebhwe na bhasige jintugwa ja kala.
They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
22 Jichiile chikole atiki? Bhasige okwitimata-la abhajokungwa ati awe wejile.
What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23 Kulwejo nukole echo eswe chinu echikubhwila woli: Chili na bhanu bhana bhanu bhateyeo echilailo.
Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 Bagege abhanu bhanu wiyeshe amwi nabho, na ubhaliile (igharama) yebhwe, koleleki bhamwege jinfwili ku mitwe jebhwe. Kwibhyo bhuli munu amenye ati emisango jinu bhabhwiliwe okulubhana nawe nijolulimi. Abhajo ukwiigila ati awe one oulubha ebhilagilo.
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.
25 Mbhe nawe emisango ja bhanyamaanga bhanu bhabhee bhekilisha, chandikile no kusosha amalagililo ati kubheile bhekenge na bhinu bhisosibhwe echogo kwe bhisusano na manyinga okulubhana echinyigwa, na bhekenge no obhulomesi.”
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.”
26 Niwo, Paulo abhagegele abhalume, no lunaku lwa kabhili, neyesha omwene amwi nabho nengila mu yekalu, okulasha omwanya gwa jinaku jo kwesibhwa, ebhiyana bhisosibhwe ku bhuli umwi webhwe.
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27 Jinaku ejo musanju jejile jafogela okuwa, abhayaudi abhandi okusoka Asia bhamulola Paulo mu yekalu, ne likofyanya nilibhabhiilibhwa, nibhamusomelesha na amabhoko.
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,
28 Bhaliga mbhayogana, “abhanu bha Israeli, mchisakile. unu Ni munu oyo keigisha abhanu bha bhuli mbhala emisango ejo jitasikene na bhanu, ebhilagilo, no lubhala lunu. One abhaletele abhayunani mu yekalu no kunyamula anu bhuli obhwelu”
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!”
29 okubha KU bhwambhilo bhamulolele Trofimo Muefeso ali amwi nage mu musi, nabho bhetogee ati Paulo amuletele mu yekalu.
For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 Omusi gwona nigukangabhala, na bhanu nibhabhilima amwi no kumugwata Paulo, nibhamuulusha Anja ya I yekalu, emilyango nijigulwa.
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.
31 Anu bhaliga bhalegeja okwenda okumwita, emisango jamukingie omukulu wa lijeshi lya Abhalisi ati Yerusalemu yona ijue inyombo.
As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Omwanya ogwo nabhagega abhasilikale no mkulu bhebhwe nabhilimila liinjo. Omwanya ogwo abhasilikale nibhasiga okumbhuma Paulo.
Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33 Okumala omkulu wa lijeshi bhamfogelee no kumugwata Paulo, nalagilila abhoywe eminyololo ebhili. nabhusha omwene ninga na akoleleki.
Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
34 Abhanu abhandi mwiijo bhaliga nibhamwaya ingulu abhandi kutya na bhandi kutyo. kwo kubha omukulu wa abhasilikale atatulile kubhabhwila Chona chona KU nsonga ya inyombho nalagilila Paulo mbhamute munda ya libhoelo.
Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 Mbe Ejile akinga KU bhilinyilo, nagegwa na abhasilikale ku nsonga ya inyombho ya liijo.
When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Okubha liijo lwa abhanu bhamulubhile mbhagendelela okuyobhegana, unu “mumusosheo.
for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
37 Paulo ejile asilwa mwibhoyelo agati, amubhilie omukulu wa abhasilikale, “enitula okukubhwila echinu?” Omukulu wa abhasilikale naika, “Mbe owaika echiyunani?”
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?
38 Angu awe utali mu misiri ulya oyo kubhambhilo atangasishe obhunyamuke no kugega abhakuti bha bhanu bhiumbhi bhina ibhala?”
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?”
39 Paulo naika, “anye ndi Muyaudi, okusoka mu musi gwa Tarso ogwa Kilikia anye nili mwenengo wa mu musi gwa insonga. Enibhasabhwa, munyikilisishe naike na bhanu.
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.”
40 Omwanya ogwo omukulu wa abhasilikale Ejile amwikilisisha, Paulo nemelegulu ku bhilinyilo no kusosha echibhalikisho ku bhanu kwo kubhoko kwaye. Omwanya ogwo gwejile gwabha no bhujibhilie muno, naika nabho mululimi lwe chiebrania. Naika,
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,
