Mitendo 21
1 Hatukahuhana kuvali ni twazuha, tuvahindi inzila iya kumuleñi wa Koso, mi halizwa nitwaya kumuleñi wa Rode, mi hatuzwa aho nitwaya kumuleñi wa Patara.
And when it came to pass to launch us, after being drawn away from them, after going a straight course, we came to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Linu hatuwana chikepe chibali kuya kwa Fenisia nitwechila kuchili ni kuzuha.
And having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, having gotten on, we launched.
3 Linu hatusika muchida cha Sipera, nitwavola kuvumonso, nitwazuha kuya kwa Siria, mi nitwakasikila kumuleñi wa Tire, mukuti njoko chikepe kuchivali kulukela kukalongwela zivya.
And having sighted Cyprus, and having left it behind on the left side, we sailed to Syria and came down to Tyre, for there the ship was unloading the merchandise.
4 Hatuwana valutwana, nitwekala mazuva amana iyanza ni obele. Ava valutwana ni vati kwa Paulusi chenzila ya Luhuho Lunjolola kuti senzi akalyatiki itende lyakwe mwa Jerusalema.
And having found disciples we remained there seven days, who said to Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 Linu hatumana mazuba, nitwakatuka ni kuyenda mumusipili wetu. Vonse ni banakazi ni bana vabo, ni vatusindikeza mane ulu hatukazwa mumuleñi.
And when it came to pass for us to finish the days, having gone forth, we were departing, all accompanying us, with women and children, as far as outside the city. And having knelt on the beach we prayed.
6 Linu nitwakuvama helizo kulapela ni kulilaeza navo. Nitwakechila muchikepe abo havavola kumunzi.
And having bid farewell to each other, we went up in the ship, and those men returned to their own things.
7 Linu hatumana musipili wetu wa kwa Tire, chitwakasika kwa Ptolemaisi. Uko nitwakalumelisa vaakwakwetu ni kwikala nabo izuva lyonke.
And when we finished the voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais. And having greeted the brothers, we remained with them one day.
8 Izuba lichilila nitwayenda kwa Sesarea. Mi nitwakenjila munzuvo ya Filipi, yo kutaza iñusa ilotu lya Jesus, yabali zumwi wavantu vamana iyanza ni vuvele, imi nitwekala naye.
And on the morrow, after going forth, those around Paul came to Caesarea. And having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, being of the seven, we dwelt with him.
9 Linu uzu mukwame avena vana vone vavakazana vaseni kwiziva kale vakwame vavali vatanikizi.
Now four virgin daughters who prophesied were with this man.
10 Sina hatuvena hateni mazuva alikene, chikwakeza mutanikizi yavali kuzwa kwa Judea yavali kusumpwa Agabusi.
And as we remained more days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 Nakeza kwetu mi nahinda lutunga lwa Paulusi. Chalisumina mayanza ni matende akwe, “Vovulyo muluwambila Luhoho Lujolola, “mi vovulyo mweti nivamusuminine vantu vamwa Jerusalem solunu lutunga, mi muva mutamvike mumayaza avantu vamasi angi.”'
And having come to us, and having taken Paul's belt, having bound both his feet and hands, he said, The Holy Spirit says these things: Thus the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him into the hands of Gentiles.
12 Linu hatuzuwa izi zintu, tuvonse ni vantu vavakuhala mwe cho chivaka nitwa kumbila Paulusi kuti sanziayendi kwa Jerusalema.
And when we heard these things, both we and those local men urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Imi Paulusi cheteva, “Mukwete mutenda nzi, kulila ni kuni nicisa kunkulo? Mukuti nilitukiseze, isiñi kusuminwa bulyo, kono ni kufwila izina lya Simwine Jesu mwa Jerusalema.”
And Paul answered, What are ye doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I fare ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Sina Paulusi kanaavalikusaka kukukuwezwa, nitwasiya mi nitwati, “Kutendwe chisakwa ni Simwine.”
And since he was not persuaded, we were quiet, having said, May the will of the Lord happen.
15 Aa mazuva hamana, nitwahinda zivya zetu ni kuya kwa Jerusalema.
And after these days, having made preparation, we went up to Jerusalem.
16 Linuhe vamwi valutwana vavali kuzwa kwa Sesara nivayenda naswe. Nivaleta ni mukwame yosumpwa Mnason, mukweme uzwa kwa Sipera, mi nivakeza ni mukwame, mulutwana wamatangilo utuola kwikala naye.
And also the disciples from Caesarea went together with us, bringing a certain Mnason, a Cypriot, an old disciple with whom we would lodge.
17 Ha chitusika mwa Jerusama, vaakwakwe ni vatutamvula chakusanga.
And when we came to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Izuva lichilila Paulusi na yenda naswe kwa Jakobo, ni bakulwana bonse babena hateni.
And on the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
19 Ha chivamana kuvalumelisa, navavihela chimwi ni chimwi chintu chava tendendwa ni Ireez muvamasi angi cha mutendo wakwe.
And having greeted them, he reported one by one what God did among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 Linu hava izuwa, ni vatemba Ireeza, mi nibati kwali, “Ubwene muukwetu, zikiti zongai ziva zumini mukati ka Majuda. Vonse vava kozeze kuvika mulao.
And when the men heard, they glorified God, having said to him, Thou see, brother, how many thousands there are of the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealots of the law.
21 Vava wambilwa chako, kuti uluta Majuda vonse vahala mumasi angi kuti va kane Mushe, nikuti uvava wambila kuti kanzi batwali vana vavo kumupato ni kuse chilila chisiyankulu chetu.
And they were informed about thee, that thou teach all the Jews throughout the nations desertion from Moses, telling them not to circumcise the children nor to walk by the customs.
22 Tuwola kutendanzi? Mavazuwe chokusima kuti uvakezi.
What is it therefore? Certainly the multitude needs to get together, for they will hear that thou have come.
23 Mukuti utende zitu kuwambila hanu: Twina vakwame vone vava likonki chakuha isepiso.
Therefore do this that we say to thee. Four men are with us who have a vow on themselves.
24 Hinde ava vakwame ni kulijoloza navo vulyo, ni kuva lihila insinyehelo zavo, nikuti vangunke mitwi yavo. Kokuti vezive kuti zintu zivava wambilwa chako kazina vuniti. Muvalitute kuti nawe vulyo mwichilila mulao.
Having taken these, be purified with them. And pay expenses for them, so that they may shave the head. And all may know, that things of which they have been informed about thee, are nothing, but thou thyself also walk orderly, keeping the law.
25 Kono kuamana ni vamasi angi vavazumini, tuvañoli ni kuvaha intayelo kuti vali zwise kuzintu zihailwe vazimu, kumalaha, niziva siniwa, niza vuliyendezi.”
And about the Gentiles who have believed, we sent word, having decided for them to keep no such thing, except for them to guard against what is sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.
26 Linu Paulusi nahinda vakwame, imi izuva lichilila nalijoloza iyemwine ni kujoloza avo vakwame, nikuya mwi templele, kukatumusa mazuva akulijoloza, kukasikila hakuka hewa chitavelo kuzumwi ni zumwi wavo.
Then Paul, having taken the men on the following day, having been purified with them, entered into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for each one of them.
27 Linu mazuva akwana iyanza ni obele havena hafihi ni ku hamana, vamwi Majuda vazwa kwa Asia ni vavona Paulusi mwi temple, imi niya sangisa chinavungi chonse, niva vika mayanza avo hali.
And when the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people and threw hands on him,
28 Vavali kuhuwa, “Vakwame va Isilaele, mutu tuse. Uzu njimukwame yoluta vaantu vonse kumwi ni kumwi zintu zilwisana vaantu, mulao ne chinu chivaka. Kwandahezo, avaleti Magerike mwi Tempele imi vava silafazi ichi chivaka chijolola.”
crying out, Men, Israelites, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. And besides he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place.
29 Mukuti chivava vwene kale Trofimosi Mufalisi naye mumuleneñi, imi nivazeza kuti Paulusi waka muleta mwi tempele.
For they were men who saw Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul brought into the temple.
30 Onse muleneñi uba sangite, imi vonse vantu nivatiya hamwina ni kukakwata Paulusi. Chivaka mukwitulwila kunze ye temple, mi ziyazo nize yaliwa haho.
And the whole city was moved, and there developed a running together of the people. And having taken Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and straightaway the doors were shut.
31 Sina havava kulika kumwihaya, iñusa nilyeza ku muyendisi wa vaganteli kuti Jerusalema yonse nyungana.
And while seeking to kill him, a report went up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem has been stirred up.
32 Haho vulyo nahinda masole ni balauli wa masole niku tilila hansi kuchi navungi chonse.
And immediately after taking soldiers and centurions, he ran down to them. And they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33 Linu vantu hava vona muyendisi wa masole ni masole, niva siya kundama Paulusi. Linu muyendisi wa masole cheza kuwonda Paulusi, imi nalaela kuti a suminiwe ni mawenge obele. Chavuza kuti njini imi chinzi chava tendinzi.
And the chief captain having come near, he seized him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains. And he inquired whoever he may be, and what it is he has been doing.
34 Bamwi muchina vungi vava kuhuleza chintu chimwi. Sina muyendisi kana ava kuwola kuwamba chimwi chevaka lyelata, nalaela kuti Paulusi aletwa munzubo ikolete.
And some among the crowd shouted out one thing, some another. And not being able to know the certainty because of the uproar, he commanded him to be carried into the fort.
35 Linu heza kutantilwa, Masole vava mukatwile kakuti chinavungi chiva kalihite.
And it came to pass when on the steps (it happened for him to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd,
36 Mukuti chinavangi cha vantu chiva ve chilile niva kuhuweleza. “Muzwe mumusiye!”
for the mass of the people followed, crying out, Away with him),
37 Linu Paulusi havena hafwihi ni kwi njizikwa munzubo ikolete, chati ku muyendisi yomanisa, “Ni woli kuwamba chimwi kwako?” Muyendisi chati, “U wamba chigerike?
and as Paul was going to be brought into the fort, he says to the chief captain, Is it permitted for me to speak to thee? And he said, Thou know Greek?
38 Kena njewe zuna Muegepita, yaba letete inkondo imi uva hindi zikiti kiti zonee zava sandukili kuzitwala munkaanda?”
Then thou are not the Egyptian who revolted before these days, and who led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?
39 Paulusi chati, “Ni Mujuda, ni zwa mumuleneñi wa Tarese mwa Silisia. Ni muzaki wa muleneñi u sepahala, niku kumbila, kuti uni zuminine ni wambe ku vantu.”
But Paul said, I am really a Jewish man of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. And I beg thee, allow me to speak to the people.
40 Lina muyendisi hamuha chivaka, Paulusi cha zimana hatantilwa ni kusovola vantu cheyanza, Hakuva tontwile ahulu, nawamba kuvali muchi Heberu, chati,
And having permitted him, Paul, having stood on the steps, motioned his hand to the people. And when a great hush developed, he called out in the Hebrew language, saying,
