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 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 Linu hatuwana chikepe chibali kuya kwa Fenisia nitwechila kuchili ni kuzuha.
And finding a ship crossing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and put to sea.
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 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 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 out the disciples, we remained there seven days; and they told 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 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 Linu nitwakuvama helizo kulapela ni kulilaeza navo. Nitwakechila muchikepe abo havavola kumunzi.
we took leave of each other, and went on board the ship; and they returned home.
7 Linu hatumana musipili wetu wa kwa Tire, chitwakasika kwa Ptolemaisi. Uko nitwakalumelisa vaakwakwetu ni kwikala nabo izuva lyonke.
But we, finishing our voyage, came down from Tyre to Ptolemais; and having embraced the brethren, 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 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 Linu uzu mukwame avena vana vone vavakazana vaseni kwiziva kale vakwame vavali vatanikizi.
And this man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied.
10 Sina hatuvena hateni mazuva alikene, chikwakeza mutanikizi yavali kuzwa kwa Judea yavali kusumpwa Agabusi.
And while we were staying some days longer, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus;
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 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 Linu hatuzuwa izi zintu, tuvonse ni vantu vavakuhala mwe cho chivaka nitwa kumbila Paulusi kuti sanziayendi kwa Jerusalema.
But when we heard this, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go 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.”
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 Sina Paulusi kanaavalikusaka kukukuwezwa, nitwasiya mi nitwati, “Kutendwe chisakwa ni Simwine.”
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased; saying, The Lord's will be done.
15 Aa mazuva hamana, nitwahinda zivya zetu ni kuya kwa Jerusalema.
And after those days we got ready our baggage, and 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.
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 Ha chitusika mwa Jerusama, vaakwakwe ni vatutamvula chakusanga.
And when we arrived at Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 Izuva lichilila Paulusi na yenda naswe kwa Jakobo, ni bakulwana bonse babena hateni.
And the day following 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 embraced them, he recounted particularly what things God had wrought 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 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 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.
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 Tuwola kutendanzi? Mavazuwe chokusima kuti uvakezi.
What then is to be done? The multitude will necessarily come together; for they will hear that thou hast come.
23 Mukuti utende zitu kuwambila hanu: Twina vakwame vone vava likonki chakuha isepiso.
Do this therefore that we advise thee. We have four men who have a vow on them.
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.
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 Kono kuamana ni vamasi angi vavazumini, tuvañoli ni kuvaha intayelo kuti vali zwise kuzintu zihailwe vazimu, kumalaha, niziva siniwa, niza vuliyendezi.”
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 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 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 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 almost ended, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, stirred up the whole multitude, and laid 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 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 Mukuti chivava vwene kale Trofimosi Mufalisi naye mumuleneñi, imi nivazeza kuti Paulusi waka muleta mwi tempele.
For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus, the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had 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 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 Sina havava kulika kumwihaya, iñusa nilyeza ku muyendisi wa vaganteli kuti Jerusalema yonse nyungana.
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 Haho vulyo nahinda masole ni balauli wa masole niku tilila hansi kuchi navungi chonse.
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 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.
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 Bamwi muchina vungi vava kuhuleza chintu chimwi. Sina muyendisi kana ava kuwola kuwamba chimwi chevaka lyelata, nalaela kuti Paulusi aletwa munzubo ikolete.
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 Linu heza kutantilwa, Masole vava mukatwile kakuti chinavungi chiva kalihite.
And when he reached the stairs, he was obliged to be borne by the soldiers, on account of the violence of the crowd;
36 Mukuti chinavangi cha vantu chiva ve chilile niva kuhuweleza. “Muzwe mumusiye!”
for the multitude of the people were following, 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 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 Kena njewe zuna Muegepita, yaba letete inkondo imi uva hindi zikiti kiti zonee zava sandukili kuzitwala munkaanda?”
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 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 a Jew of Tarsus, a citizen of no mean city of Cilicia; and I beseech thee, suffer 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 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,
