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, after we had torn ourselves from them, and had put to sea, that we came with a straight course to Cos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
2 Bhotukabhili meli jhajhilobhoka kulota Foinike, twakwelili twasafiri.
And finding a ship crossing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and put to sea.
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 having come in sight of Cyprus, we passed it on the left, and sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unlade her cargo.
4 Baada jha kubhabhona bhanafunzi, twatamili okhu magono saba. Bhanafunzi abha bhakan'jobhela Paulo kupetela kwa Roho kwamba muene asikanyi Yerusalemu.
And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; and they told Paul, through the Spirit, not to 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 completed the days, we departed, and went our way, they all accompanying us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city; and having kneeled down on the shore and prayed,
6 Twakweli meli, khoni na bhene bhakakerebhuka kunyumba jha bhene kabhele.
we took leave of each other, and went on board the ship; and they returned home.
7 Hata bho tumalili safari jha jhoto kuhoma Tiro, twafikili Tolemai. Pala twasalimili bhalongobhitu, na twatamili okhu kwa ligono limonga.
But we, finishing our voyage, came down from Tyre to Ptolemais; and having embraced the brethren, remained 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 departed, and came to Caesarea; and entering the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.
9 Munu ojho ajhele ni bhabinti bhancheche mabikra ambabho bhatabiri.
And this man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied.
10 Baada jhakutama okhu kwa magono kadhaa, akaselela kuhoma Uyahudi nabii mmonga jhaakutibhwe gha Agabo.
And while we were staying some days longer, 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 coming to us, he took off Paul's girdle, and bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit: So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and will deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.
12 Bhotupeliki mambo aghu, tete ni bhanu bhabhatameghe pala twansihi Paulo asikweli kulota Yerusalemu.
But when we heard this, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go 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 answered Paul, What mean ye that ye weep, and break 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.”
And 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.
And after those days we got ready 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.
There went with us also some of the disciples of Caesarea, bringing us to one Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Bho tufikili Yerusalemu bhalongobhitu bhatukaribisi kwa furaha.
And when we arrived at Jerusalem, the brethren 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 having embraced them, he recounted particularly what things God had wrought among the gentiles 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.
And they on hearing it glorified God; and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of believers there are among the Jews, 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.
But they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk after the customs.
22 Twilondeka tukheta kiki? Bila shaka bhibetakupeleka bhebhe uhidili.
What then is to be done? The multitude will necessarily come together; for they will hear that thou hast come.
23 Efyo bhombayi khila tete kyatukujobhela henu: tujhe ni bhanu bhancheche ambabho bhabhekili nadhiri.
Do this therefore that we advise thee. We have four men who 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.
These take, and purify thyself with them, and pay the expenses for them, that they may shave their heads; and all will know that those things of which they have been informed concerning thee are nothing, but that thou thyself also walkest in observance of 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 gentile believers, we have written to them and decided that they should observe no such thing, save only to abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from what hath been 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 having purified himself with them, entered the temple, announcing the completion of the days of the purification, until the offering was made 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 from Asia, having seen him in the temple, stirred up the whole multitude, 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 teacheth every one everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place; and besides he even brought Greeks into the temple, and hath 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 before seen with him in the city Trophimus, the 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 the whole city was in motion, and the people ran together; and they laid hold of Paul and dragged him out of the temple; and forthwith the doors were shut.
31 Bhobhijaribu kun'koma habari syamfikili mbaha ghwa jeshi lya bhalinzi kujha Yerusalemu jhioha jhimemili ghasia.
And while they were endeavoring to kill him, tidings came up 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 seeing the chief captain 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 chief captain came near and laid hold of him, and 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.
And some cried one thing, and some another, among the multitude. And not being able to gain certain knowledge on account of the uproar, he ordered 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 reached the stairs, he was obliged to be borne by the soldiers, on account of the violence of the crowd;
36 Ndabha umati bhwa bhanu bhan'kesisi na bhajhendelili kujhuegha, “Mumbosiajhi ojhu!”
for the multitude of the people were following, 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?
And as he was about to be led into the castle, Paul saith to the chief captain, May I speak to thee? And he said, Canst thou speak Greek?
38 Je, bhebhe sio jhola Mmisri ambajhe awali alonguisi uasi na atolili magaidi elfu nne nyikani?”
Art thou not then the Egyptian, who before these days made an insurrection, and led out into the wilderness those 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 of Tarsus, a citizen of no mean city of Cilicia; and I beseech thee, 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 leave, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with his hand to the people, and there was a great silence; and he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
