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.
When it happened that we had parted 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 Bhotukabhili meli jhajhilobhoka kulota Foinike, twakwelili twasafiri.
Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, 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.
When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
4 Baada jha kubhabhona bhanafunzi, twatamili okhu magono saba. Bhanafunzi abha bhakan'jobhela Paulo kupetela kwa Roho kwamba muene asikanyi Yerusalemu.
Having found the disciples, we stayed there seven days. These 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.
When it happened that we had accomplished the days, 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. And after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
6 Twakweli meli, khoni na bhene bhakakerebhuka kunyumba jha bhene kabhele.
we said farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.
7 Hata bho tumalili safari jha jhoto kuhoma Tiro, twafikili Tolemai. Pala twasalimili bhalongobhitu, na twatamili okhu kwa ligono limonga.
When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted 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.
On the next day, we 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 Munu ojho ajhele ni bhabinti bhancheche mabikra ambabho bhatabiri.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Baada jhakutama okhu kwa magono kadhaa, akaselela kuhoma Uyahudi nabii mmonga jhaakutibhwe gha Agabo.
As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
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.”
Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit: 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of non-Jewish people.'"
12 Bhotupeliki mambo aghu, tete ni bhanu bhabhatameghe pala twansihi Paulo asikweli kulota Yerusalemu.
When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged 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 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 Kwa vile Paulo alondelepi kushawishibhwa, twalekili ni kujobha, “Basi mapenzi gha Bwana ghabhombekayi.”
When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
15 Baada jha magono agha, twatolili mifuku ghitu ni kukwela Yerusalemu.
After these days we took up our baggage 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.
Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17 Bho tufikili Yerusalemu bhalongobhitu bhatukaribisi kwa furaha.
When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Kilabhu jhiake Paulo alotili pamonga ni tete kwa Yakobo, ni bhaseya bhoha bhajhele.
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.
When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the non-Jewish people through 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.
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 Bhajobhibu kuhusu bhebhe, kujha ifundisya Bhayahudi bhabhitama kati jha mataifa kulekana ni Musa, ni kwamba ukabhajobhela bhasibhatairi bhana bhabhi, na bhasikesi desturi sya muandi.
They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the non-Jews to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.
22 Twilondeka tukheta kiki? Bila shaka bhibetakupeleka bhebhe uhidili.
What then? The multitude must certainly meet. They will hear that you have come.
23 Efyo bhombayi khila tete kyatukujobhela henu: tujhe ni bhanu bhancheche ambabho bhabhekili nadhiri.
Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
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.
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 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.”
But concerning the non-Jewish who believe, we have written our decision that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality."
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, 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 Magono aghu saba bho ghakaribili kumalika, baadhi jha Bhayahudi kuhoma Asia bhakambona Paulo mu hekalu, ni makutano bhakadada, ni kun'sosolela mabhoko.
When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd 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 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 Kwa kujha mwanzoni bhajhele bhambwene Trofimo Muefeso akajha pamonga ni muene mjini, na bhene bhadhanileghe kwamba Paulo andetili mu hekalu.
For they had previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him 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.
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 Bhobhijaribu kun'koma habari syamfikili mbaha ghwa jeshi lya bhalinzi kujha Yerusalemu jhioha jhimemili ghasia.
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 Mara ejhu akabhatola askari ni jemedari akaujumbila umati. Wakati bhanu bhambwene mbaha ghwa majeshi ni askari, bhakaleka kun'tobha 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 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 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 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.
Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 Basi bho afikili pa ngazi, akatolibhwa ni askari kwa ndabha jha ghasia sya umati.
When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Ndabha umati bhwa bhanu bhan'kesisi na bhajhendelili kujhuegha, “Mumbosiajhi ojhu!”
for the crowd of the people followed after, crying out, "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?
As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, "May I speak something to you?" He said, "Do you know Greek?
38 Je, bhebhe sio jhola Mmisri ambajhe awali alonguisi uasi na atolili magaidi elfu nne nyikani?”
Are you not 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 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 Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow 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,
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,
