Imbombo incha Vasuhwa 21
1 Twavile tulekhehine navo, tugenda muganja, tukhafikha moja khwa moja mumbunchege kwa khukosi, ikhigono ikhyavili tukhafikha mumbunchege uwa Rodo, ukhuhuma ukhu tukhafikha mumbunchage kwa Patara.
Now, as soon as we had withdrawn from them, and had set sail, we came with a direct course to Coos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
2 Twavile tukhavile igalava iyilovokha ukhuluta khui Foinike, tukhitoga tulikhugenda.
And finding a ship passing over Phenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
3 Twavile tufikhe khuvulugolo khukhisiva ikhya Kipro, tukhayelekha ikhivokho ikhya khuhege, tukhagenda mpakha khu Siria, tukhagatalukha mumbunchege uwa mu Tiro, ulwakhuva ukhwa igalava vaisyaga imichiga.
And coming within sight of Cyprus, and leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its freight.
4 Vutuvawene avakongi, tukhatama ukhu ifigono saba. Avakhongi ava vakhambula u-Pavuli ukhugendela khu Mepo ukhuta umwene alekhe ukhuluta khu Yelusalemu.
And we continued there several days, finding disciples, who told Paul, by the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 Twavile tumalile isikhu ila, ufwe tukhahega tulikhuluta. Twevoni paninie, navadala vavo na vana vavo, vakhatuvikhilincha khunjila ncheto mpakha twavile tukhumile khunji. Khuvunchege tukhafugama, tukhadova, tukhalekhehana khela munu.
But when we had finished these seven days, we departed, and went our way, and they all attended us out of the city, with their wives and children; and, kneeling down on the seashore, we prayed.
6 Tukhitoga igalava, ukhu avevalikhuvuya khunjavoyo khavili.
And having embraced each other, we went on board the ship; and they returned back to their own houses.
7 Twavile tumalile isafwari yeto ukhuma khu Tiro, tukhafikha khu Tolemai. Pala tukhaponia avalukhu, tukhatama navo ikhigono khimo.
And finishing our course, we came from Tyre to Ptolemais, and embracing the brethren, we continued with them one day.
8 Ilya khilavo tukhahega tukhaluta khu Kaisaria. Ufwe tukhigela munyumba iya Filipo, udumbeleli va limenyu, avealepaninie na vala saba, nafwe tukhatama paninie nave.
And on the next day we departed, and came to Cesarea, and entering into the house of Philip, the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we lodged with him.
9 Umunu uyu alenavakhencha vane uvusavahudekhile avene valagulaga.
Now he had four virgin daughters, who were prophetesses.
10 Twavile tutamile ukhu akhikha uyamalago ukhuhuma khu Vuyahudi alikhutambuliwa Agabo.
And as we continued there many days, a certain prophet, whose name was Agabus, came down from Judea:
11 Umwene akhincha khulyufwe pwu akhatola ukhanda gwa Pavuli. akhikuga amalunde namavokho ga mwene nu khunchova, “Umepo Umbalanche inchova nde,” “Avayahudi ava mu Yerusalemu vikhukhuga umunu uveilolela ukhanda ugu, pwa avene vikhumbikha mumavokho ga vanyapanji.”
and coming to us, he took up Paul's girdle, and binding his own hands and feet, he said, Thus says the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man whose girdle this is, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Twavile tupulikhe inogwa incho, ufwe paninie na vanu avatamaga pala tukhadova u-Pavuli alekhe ukhutoga ukhuluta khu Yerusalemu.
And when we heard these things, both we, and the inhabitants of that place, entreated him, that he would not go up to Jerusalem.
13 Pwu u-Pavuli akhanda, “Mwigakha ndeti mwilela nukhudeya amakha gago? Ulwakhuva nilitayari, sio ukhukugiwa, hata ukhufwila ukwa khu Yerusalemu khulitawa Ntwa uYesu.”
But Paul answered, What do you mean, thus 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 Ulwakhuva u-Pavuli salikhunogwa ukhuvuliwa, tukhelekhelwa ukhunchuva, “Uvunogwe wa Ntwa vikhogiwagwe.”
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased; saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 Tukhatola imielugo gweto tulikhutoga ukhuluta khu Yelusalemu.
And after these days, making up our baggage, we went up to Jerusalem.
16 Avage avakhongi ukhuhuma khu Kaisalia tukhakhogenehaninia nufwe. Vakhagega umunu yumo alikhutambuliwa Mnasoni, umunu uva khu Kipro, ukhogi uvakhatali, uvitwale nave.
And some of the disciples also from Cesarea, went along with us, and brought us to one Mnason, a Cyprian, and old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Twavile tifikhe khu Yerusalemu, avalukolo vakhatwambilila khuluhekhelo.
And when we were arrived at Jerusalem, the brethren received us with pleasure.
18 Ilya khilavo uPavuli akhaluta paninie nufwe khwa Yakobo, avadyakhoni voni valepwuvale.
And the next day Paul entered in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19 Twavile tuvaponinche, alikhuvapa indegilo yemo yemo incha mbombo ncha Nguluve inchuavombile nifilunga ukhugendela imbombo ya mwene.
And having embraced them, he gave them a particular account of those things which God had done among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 Vavile vapulikhe incho, vakhaginia Unguluve, nukhuvunimbila, “Wilola, lukholo, ulwiemaelfu galengi vidikhe ukhuluma khuVayuta. Voni vinogwa ukhwibata indegilo.
And when they heard it, they glorified God, and said to him, Brother, you see how many myriads of believing Jews there are: and they are all zealous for the law.
21 Vavuliwe uve ukhuta vumayisya Avayahudi avitama khuvuyapanzi ukhulekhehona nu Mose, nukhuta vukhuvavula valekhe ukhukoga iyikho incha khatari.
Now, they have been informed of you, that you teach all the Jews, which are among the Gentiles, to apostatize from Moses, saying, that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor to walk according to the customs.
22 Tunogiwa tugahendeti? vipulikha ukhuta uve winelile.
What is it then? The multitude must, by all means, come together; for they will hear that you are come.
23 Pwu uvombe khila ikhyutukhuvula lino: tuli navanu vane avavikhiwe nekhelo.
Therefore, do this that we say to you: there are with us four men who have a vow upon them;
24 Vavoleavanu avawivalanche yuve paninie navene, pwu uvahombele indalama nchavene, vakhate imitwe giavene. Pwu khila munu alumanye ukhuta inogwa inchuvakhavuliwe ukhuhusu uve ncha vudesi. Vimeyila ukhuta uve vukonga indagilo.
take them, and purify yourself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all will know that there is nothing in those things which they have heard of you; but that you yourself walk regularly, keeping the law.
25 Khunogwa incha vanyapanji uvuvene vavile vakilisite, tukhasimbile nukhuhumya ululagilo ukhuta vinogiwa ukhufilekha ifinu ifya khumatekhelo nukhisa, ukhuluma ulukhila ikhyuvaniogwile, vavulekhe uvuligu.”
As for the believing Gentiles, we have written, determining that they should observe none of these things; except it be to keep themselves from what is offered to idols, and from blood, and from that which is strangled, and from fornication.
26 Pwu, u-Pavuli akhavatola avagosi isikhu iyavile akhivalancha umwene paninie navo, akhigila Mutembile, ukhulagila usikhe ugwa sikhu incha khuevalancha impaka isadakha yekhuminchiwe khuvulila munu.
Then Paul took the men, and the next day, being purified with them, entered into the temple, declaring the accomplishment of the days of purification, till an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27 Isikhu incho saba nchavile chikhegelile ukhusila, Avayahudi vadebe ukhuhuma khu Asia vakhambona u-Pavuli Mutembile, avakeresite vakhavipa, valikhumwinulila amavokho.
But as the seven days were about to be accomplished, the Jews that were from Asia, seeing him in the temple, threw all the populace into confusion, and laid hands upon him,
28 Valikhu pwuta, “Vanu vakhu Israeli, tutage. Uyu ve munu uveimayisya avanu khila ponu inogwa inchilitofauti na vanu, indegilo, ncha apa. Pwu akhuvagega Avayunani Mutembile nukhupananga pavuvalanche.”
crying out, Israelites, help! This is the man that everywhere teaches all men contrary to the people, and to the law, and to this place; and has even brought Greeks into the temple, and polluted this holy place.
29 Ulwakhuva pakhutagula vakhambwene Trofimo Mwefeso akhale nave mumbuchege, avene valikhusaga ukhuta u-Pavuli agegile mutembile.
(For they had been seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they imagined that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 Uvunchege woni vakhava nuludwada avanu vakhayilapanie nukhumwibata u-Pavuli. Vakhagumia mu Tembile, imilya gu gikhadediwa.
And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people; and laying hold of Paul, they dragged him out of the temple: and immediately the gates were shut.
31 Wuvigela ukhumbuda, inogwa neivikha fikhile usikhakhali umbakha ukhuta khu Yelusalemu khwoni khudegile ifujo.
And when they went about to kill him, word was brought to the commander of the cohort, that all Jerusalem was in confusion:
32 Usikhe ugwa akhavatola avasikhali alikhuyila khululundamano. Avanu vavile vambwene umbaha va vasikhali, na vasikhali vakhelekhelwa ukhunto u-Pavuli.
who immediately took soldiers, and centurions, and ran in among them. And when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they ceased from beating Paul.
33 Umbakha vavasikhali akhakhegelela akhamwibata u-Pavuli, akhalamula akhugiwe imiregekhe gevile. Akhambucha umwene veni na agakhile khikhi.
Then the commander drew near, and took him; and ordered him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was, and what he had done.
34 Avanu palulundamano valikhupwuta uyuge ili uyuge ulwakhuva ambakha va vasikhali savavule khinu ukhukogana nu ywego. Akhalagila u-Pavuli vagelikhe munyumba.
And some among the multitude cried out one thing, and some another: and as he could not know the certainty, by reason of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 Avile ifikha mugeto akhatoliwa na vasikhali ukhuhumana nifujo ncha vayalulumdamano.
But when he was upon the stairs, it came to pass that he was borne by the soldiers, because of the violence of the crowd.
36 Ululundano lwe vanu valikhukoga nu khupwata, “Mugenche uyu!”
For the multitude of the people followed, crying out, Away with him!
37 U-Pavuli avileikhelekhiwa mugati akhambula umbakha va vasikhali, “Niwesya ukhukhuvula ikhinu?” Umbakha va vasikhali akhata, “Winchova ikhi Yunani?
But as Paul was going to be brought into the castle, he said to the commander, May I be allowed to speak to you? And he said, Can you speak Greek?
38 Uve, siyo veve Imisiri uvealonginche uvutulanogwa, akhatola avabudi elfu nne khufwimba?”
Are you not that Egyptian, who did, before these days, stir up a sedition, and led out into the wilderness four thousand murderers?
39 U-Pavuli ukhata, “Une nili Njahudi, ukhuhuma mumbuchege uwa khu Tarso iya khu Kilikia. Une nilivambunchege uvuvakha, nidova, mnavuleninchove na vanu.”
But Paul said, I am indeed a Jew, of Tarsus, in Cilicia, a citizen of no inconsiderable city; and I entreat you, permit me to speak to the people.
40 Avile umbakha va vasikhali antamile, u-Pavuli akhima mugeto akhahumya eishala khuvanu khukhivokho khya mwene. Ulwale mie, akhanchovanavo khukhi Ebrania. Akhata,
And on his giving permission, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and when there was a great silence, he addressed them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:
