< 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 it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from there to Patara:
2 Bhotukabhili meli jhajhilobhoka kulota Foinike, twakwelili twasafiri.
And finding a ship sailing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
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.
Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
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: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to 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.
And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 Twakweli meli, khoni na bhene bhakakerebhuka kunyumba jha bhene kabhele.
And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
7 Hata bho tumalili safari jha jhoto kuhoma Tiro, twafikili Tolemai. Pala twasalimili bhalongobhitu, na twatamili okhu kwa ligono limonga.
And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brothers, and stayed 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 the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came to Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and stayed with him.
9 Munu ojho ajhele ni bhabinti bhancheche mabikra ambabho bhatabiri.
And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 Baada jhakutama okhu kwa magono kadhaa, akaselela kuhoma Uyahudi nabii mmonga jhaakutibhwe gha Agabo.
And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, 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 when he was come to us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus says the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Bhotupeliki mambo aghu, tete ni bhanu bhabhatameghe pala twansihi Paulo asikweli kulota Yerusalemu.
And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, sought 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.”
Then Paul answered, What mean you to weep and to break my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also 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 would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 Baada jha magono agha, twatolili mifuku ghitu ni kukwela Yerusalemu.
And after those days we took up our carriages, and 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.
There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Bho tufikili Yerusalemu bhalongobhitu bhatukaribisi kwa furaha.
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Kilabhu jhiake Paulo alotili pamonga ni tete kwa Yakobo, ni bhaseya bhoha bhajhele.
And the day following Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders 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 when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had worked 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 when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said to him, You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of 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 are informed of you, that you teach all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 Twilondeka tukheta kiki? Bila shaka bhibetakupeleka bhebhe uhidili.
What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that you are come.
23 Efyo bhombayi khila tete kyatukujobhela henu: tujhe ni bhanu bhancheche ambabho bhabhekili nadhiri.
Do therefore this that we say to you: We have four men which have a vow on them;
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, and purify yourself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning you, are nothing; but that you yourself also walk orderly, and keep 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.”
As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
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 next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should 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.
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on 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, that teaches all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and has polluted 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 seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought 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 all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew 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 went about to kill him, tidings came to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Mara ejhu akabhatola askari ni jemedari akaujumbila umati. Wakati bhanu bhambwene mbaha ghwa majeshi ni askari, bhakaleka kun'tobha Paulo.
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of 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 chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded 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.
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 Basi bho afikili pa ngazi, akatolibhwa ni askari kwa ndabha jha ghasia sya umati.
And when he came on the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
36 Ndabha umati bhwa bhanu bhan'kesisi na bhajhendelili kujhuegha, “Mumbosiajhi ojhu!”
For the multitude of the people followed after, 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 as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said to the chief captain, May I speak to you? Who said, Can you speak Greek?
38 Je, bhebhe sio jhola Mmisri ambajhe awali alonguisi uasi na atolili magaidi elfu nne nyikani?”
Are not you that Egyptian, which before these days made an uproar, and led out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
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 said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech you, suffer 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,
And when he had given him license, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand to the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
