Matendo ya Mitume 21
1 Wakati tulekene nabhu, na twisafiri mu bahari, twafikili moja kwa moja mu mji bhwa Kosi, ni kilabhu jhiake twafikili mji bhwa Rodi, ni kuhoma okhu twafikili mji bhwa Patara.
AND tearing ourselves away from them, when we had set sail, we came in a direct course to Coos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
2 Bhotukabhili meli jhajhilobhoka kulota Foinike, twakwelili twasafiri.
And finding a ship passing over to Phenice, we went on board and set sail:
3 Bhotufikiri palongolo jha kisiwa kya Kipro, tukajhileka lubhafu lwa kushoto, twasafiri hadi Siria, tukabheka nanga mu mji bhwa Tiro, kwandabha okhu ndo meli jhilondekeghe ipakulibhwayi shehena jha muene.
and coming in sight of Cyprus, and leaving it on the left, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to discharge her cargo.
4 Baada jha kubhabhona bhanafunzi, twatamili okhu magono saba. Bhanafunzi abha bhakan'jobhela Paulo kupetela kwa Roho kwamba muene asikanyi Yerusalemu.
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: and they said to Paul, by the Spirit, that he should not go up unto Jerusalem.
5 Hata bho tutimisi magono ghala, tete twabhokili tukakilotela, bhoha pamonga, ni bhadala bhabhi ni bhana bhabhi, bhatusindikisi mu njela sa jhofo hadi bho tuhomi kwibhala jha mji. Kisha twapigili magoti mu masimbale, twasokili, twalaghene khila mmonga.
But when we had stayed out those days, we departed, and went on our journey, all of them attending us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the sea shore, we joined in prayer;
6 Twakweli meli, khoni na bhene bhakakerebhuka kunyumba jha bhene kabhele.
and embracing one another, we went on ship-board, and they returned to their own homes,
7 Hata bho tumalili safari jha jhoto kuhoma Tiro, twafikili Tolemai. Pala twasalimili bhalongobhitu, na twatamili okhu kwa ligono limonga.
So completing our voyage, we arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and saluting the brethren, tarried with them one day.
8 Kilabhu jhiake tukabhoka tukalota Kaisaria. Tete twajhingili munyumba jha Filipo, muhubiri bhwa injili, jhaajhele mmonga ghwa bhala saba, natu twatamili pamonga ni muene.
And on the morrow we who were Paul’s companions departed with him, and went to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist (who was one of the seven deacons), we abode with him.
9 Munu ojho ajhele ni bhabinti bhancheche mabikra ambabho bhatabiri.
Now this man had four maiden daughters endued with the gift of prophecy.
10 Baada jhakutama okhu kwa magono kadhaa, akaselela kuhoma Uyahudi nabii mmonga jhaakutibhwe gha Agabo.
And as we tarried there several days, there came down a certain prophet from Judea named Agabus.
11 Muene akahida kwa tete ni kuuleta n'kanda ghwa Paulo. kwa obhu akakikhongili magolo ni mabhoko gha muene ni kujobha, “Roho Mtakatifu ijobha naha,” “Bhayahudi bha Yerusalemu bhibetakun'konga munu jhaimiliki n'kanda obho, nabhene bhibetakun'karibisi mu mabhoko gha bhanu bha mataifa.”
And coming to us, he took Paul’s girdle, and binding both his own hands and feet together, said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, The man, whose girdle this is, shall the Jews bind in like manner at Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Bhotupeliki mambo aghu, tete ni bhanu bhabhatameghe pala twansihi Paulo asikweli kulota Yerusalemu.
Then when we heard these things, both we and all who were in the place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Ndipo Paulo ajibili, “Mwibhomba kiki, mwilela ni kunivunja muoyo ghwa nene? Kwa ndabha nijhe tayari siyo tu kufungibhwa, lakini pia kufwelela okhu Yerusalemu kwandabha jha lihina lya Bwana Yesu.”
But Paul replied, Why do ye thus―weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Kwa vile Paulo alondelepi kushawishibhwa, twalekili ni kujobha, “Basi mapenzi gha Bwana ghabhombekayi.”
And when he could not be persuaded, we desisted, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 Baada jha magono agha, twatolili mifuku ghitu ni kukwela Yerusalemu.
Then after those days, packing up our baggage, we went up to Jerusalem:
16 Baadhi jha bhanafunzi kuhoma Kaisaria kabhele bhalongosene hatu. Bandetili munu mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Mnasoni, munu ghwa Kipro, mwanafunzi ghwa muandi, ambajhe twataminakhu.
and there went also with us some disciples from Caesarea, bringing one Mnason a Cyprian, an ancient disciple, at whose house we were to lodge.
17 Bho tufikili Yerusalemu bhalongobhitu bhatukaribisi kwa furaha.
And when we arrived at Jerusalem, the brethren received us with delight.
18 Kilabhu jhiake Paulo alotili pamonga ni tete kwa Yakobo, ni bhaseya bhoha bhajhele.
And on the morrow Paul went in with us unto James: and all the presbyters were present.
19 Baada jha kubhaponesya, abhapelili taarifa jhimonga baada jha jhenge jha mambo ambagho K'yara aghabhombili miongoni mwa mataifa kupetela huduma jhiake.
And after embracing them, he related every particular of the things which God had done among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 Wakati bhapeliki aghu, bhakan'sifu K'yara ni kun'jobhela, “Wilola, ndongo, kujha ni maelfu bhalenga bhakyeriri miongoni mwa Bhayahudi. Bhene bhoha bhajhe ni nia jha kukamula sheria.
And they, when they heard it, glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed; and they are all zealots for the law:
21 Bhajobhibu kuhusu bhebhe, kujha ifundisya Bhayahudi bhabhitama kati jha mataifa kulekana ni Musa, ni kwamba ukabhajobhela bhasibhatairi bhana bhabhi, na bhasikesi desturi sya muandi.
And they have been informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews, who are among the Gentiles, apostacy from Moses, saying, That they should not circumcise the children, nor walk after the usual practices.
22 Twilondeka tukheta kiki? Bila shaka bhibetakupeleka bhebhe uhidili.
What then is to be done? The multitude must certainly be assembled; for they will hear that thou art come.
23 Efyo bhombayi khila tete kyatukujobhela henu: tujhe ni bhanu bhancheche ambabho bhabhekili nadhiri.
Do this therefore which we say to thee: we have four men, who have a vow upon themselves;
24 Bhatolayi bhanu abha ni ukitakasiayi wa muene pamonga nabhu, na ubhalepayi gharama sya bhene, ili bhabhwesiayi kukasa mitu ghya bhene. Efyo khila mmonga akabhayi kumanya kujha mambo ghabhajobhibhu kuhusu bhebhe gha udesi. Bhibetakusimanyisya kujha bhebhe kabhele ghwikesya sheria.
them take with thee, be purified with them, and be at the same expence as they, that they may shave their heads: and all men will know that there is no truth in the things reported of thee, but that thou thyself walkest orderly and observest the law.
25 Lakini kwa habari sya bhamataifa ambabho bhajhele bhaumini, twalembilli ni kupisya malaghisu kwamba bhilondeka kwijhepusya ni fenu fya fipisibhu dhabihu kwa sanamu, ni damu, kutokana ni khela kya kiniyongibhu, na bhakiepushayi ni uasherati.”
Concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we have already written, deciding that they should observe no such thing, except that they should guard themselves from idol sacrifices, and blood, and what is strangled, and from whoredom.
26 Ndipo, Paulo abhaletili bhagosi, ni ligono lya pili, akakitakasa muene pamonga nabhu, akajhingila mu hekalu, kipindi kya ligono lya kwitakasya hadi sadaka kupisibhwa kwa ndabha jha khila mmonga bhabhi.
Then Paul took the men, and the following day being purified with them, he entered into the temple, declaring when the days of their purification would be completed, in order whereunto an oblation was to be offered for every one of them.
27 Magono aghu saba bho ghakaribili kumalika, baadhi jha Bhayahudi kuhoma Asia bhakambona Paulo mu hekalu, ni makutano bhakadada, ni kun'sosolela mabhoko.
But as the seven days were now drawing to their period, some Jews from Asia seeing him in the temple, excited all the populace to tumult, and laid hands upon him,
28 Bhakajha bhijhwegha, “Bhanu bha Israeli, tutangatilayi. Ojho ndo munu jhola jha ikabhamanyisya bhanu khila mahali mambo ambagho ndo kinyume kya bhanu, sheria, ni mahali apa. Kabhele abhaletili Bhayunani mu hekalu ni kupanajisi mahali apa patakatifu.”
crying out, Men of Israel, help! This is the man, who, by his preaching, sets all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: yea and more still, hath brought Greeks into the temple, and defiled this holy place:
29 Kwa kujha mwanzoni bhajhele bhambwene Trofimo Muefeso akajha pamonga ni muene mjini, na bhene bhadhanileghe kwamba Paulo andetili mu hekalu.
(for they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they imagined that Paul had introduced into the temple.)
30 Mji bhuoha bhwajhele ni taharuki, ni bhanu bhakajumba pamonga ni kun'kamula Paulo. Bhakampisya kwibhala jha hekalu, ni miliangu mara jhikafungibhwa.
And the whole city was in motion, and there was a concourse of people assembled: and laying hands on Paul, they dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were shut.
31 Bhobhijaribu kun'koma habari syamfikili mbaha ghwa jeshi lya bhalinzi kujha Yerusalemu jhioha jhimemili ghasia.
And as they were attempting to murder him, the report reached the military tribune of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
32 Mara ejhu akabhatola askari ni jemedari akaujumbila umati. Wakati bhanu bhambwene mbaha ghwa majeshi ni askari, bhakaleka kun'tobha Paulo.
Who instantly taking soldiers and centurions ran down unto them: and when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they left off beating Paul.
33 Kisha mbaha ghwa majeshi akan'karibila ni kun'kamula Paulo, ni kuamuru akongibhwayi minyororo mu mbele. Akan'kota muene niani na aketili kiki.
Then the tribune approaching him, laid hold on him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains; and asked who he was, and what he had done.
34 Baadhi jha bhanu mu umati bhakajha bhipwayuka khenu akhe ni bhangi k'enge. Kwa kujha jemedari abhwesilepi kubhajobhela kyokyoha kwandabha jha sela njuegho, akaamuru Paulo aletibhwayi mugati mu ngome.
Then some among the multitude bellowed out one thing, and some another: so unable to know the certainty of the case because of the tumult, he ordered him to be brought into the fortress.
35 Basi bho afikili pa ngazi, akatolibhwa ni askari kwa ndabha jha ghasia sya umati.
But when he was on the stairs, it happened that he was borne up by the soldiers, because of the press of the crowd.
36 Ndabha umati bhwa bhanu bhan'kesisi na bhajhendelili kujhuegha, “Mumbosiajhi ojhu!”
For a multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him!
37 Paulo bho iletibhwa mugati mu ngome, an'jobhili mbaha ghwa majeshi, “Nibhwesya kun'jobhela khenu?” Jhola mbaha ghwa jeshi akajobha, “Je wilongela Kiyunani?
And when he was just ready to be carried into the fortress, Paul said to the military tribune, May I be permitted to speak a word to thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?
38 Je, bhebhe sio jhola Mmisri ambajhe awali alonguisi uasi na atolili magaidi elfu nne nyikani?”
Art not thou certainly that Egyptian who some time since raised a sedition, and led out into the desert four thousand cutthroats?
39 Paulo akajobha, “Nene na Myahudi, kuhoma mji bhwa Tarso jha Kilikia. Nene na raia ghwa mji maarufu. Nikabhas'oka, mniruhusiajhi nilongelayi ni bhanu.”
But Paul replied, I am indeed a Jew, a man of Tarsus, of Cilicia, a citizen of no contemptible city: and, I entreat thee, permit me to speak to the people.
40 Wakati jemedari ampelili ruhusa, Paulo akajhema pa ngazi ni kupisya ishara kwa bhanu kwa kibhoko kya muene. Wakati bhajhele kinunu sana, akalongela nabhu kwa Kihebrania. Akajobha,
So having his permission, Paul standing on the stairs, waved his hand to the people. And profound silence being obtained, he spake to them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
