Matendo ga Mitume 21
1 Muda tubile twatilekana nabo, na twatisafiri mubahari, tuiikite moja kwa moja pa'mji wa Kosi, na malabo yake tuikite mji wa Rodo, na boka kolyo tuikite mji wa Ptara.
So after disengaging ourselves from them we were able to set sail, and running a straight course we came to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Tupatike meli yayoka kuyenda Foinike, twatisafiri na meli yoo.
We found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, went on board and set sail.
3 Patuikite nnongi ya kisiwa cha Kipro, tuilekite upande wa mashoto, tuikite mpaka Siria, twaitosa nanga katika mji wa Tiro, kwa mana kolyo nga meli yatipakulilwa lishehena lyake.
When we had sighted Cyprus we passed it on the left, sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre, because it was there that the ship was to unload the cargo.
4 Baada ya kuabona banafunzi, twatama masoba saba. Banafunzi aba bammakiya Paulo pitya kwa Roho panga ywembe kana ayende Yerusalemu.
Upon finding disciples we stayed there seven days; these, through the Spirit, told Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.
5 Hata patuitimize masoba ago, twenga twatiboka kuyenda zetu. Bote pamope, na alwawa babe na bana babe, batitusindikiza katika ndela yitu mpaka patuboi panja ya mji. Boka po twatipiga magoti pwani, na kuloba, twatiagana kila yumo.
But when our time was up, as we left to go on our way, they all, including women and children, accompanied us out of the city, and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
6 Twapanda mu'meli, na bembe batikerebuka kae munyumba yabe.
After we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship and they returned to their homes.
7 Patuyomwile safari yitu boka Tiro, tuikite Tolemai. Palo tuasimamii alongo, na tama nabo kwa lisoba limo.
Now upon arriving in Ptolemais, the voyage from Tyre ended; so greeting the brothers we stayed with them one day.
8 Malabo yake tubokite kuyenda Kaisaria. Twenga tujingii munyumba ya Filipo, muhubiri wa injili, ywabile yumo wa balo saba, ni twenga tutami pamope naye.
Leaving the next day, we came to Caesarea; and entering the house of Philip the evangelist (being of ‘the Seven’), we stayed with him.
9 Mundu yolo abile na alombo ncheche makikra ambao baritabiri.
(This man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.)
10 Baada ya tama kwa masoba kadhaa, atiuluka boka Uyahudi nabii yumo ywa kemelwa Agabo.
Now as we stayed there a number of days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 Ywembe atiisa kwitu na atiutola mkanda wa Paulo. kwa huo atiyataba magolo na maboko gake mwene nobaya, “Roho Mtakatifu abaya nyoo,” “Bayahudi ba Yerusalemu balowa kuntaba mundu ywamilikiya mkando wolo, nibembe balowa kunkabidhi mumaboko ga bandu ba mataifa.”
Joining us he took Paul's belt, bound his feet and hands, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: ‘In this way, in Jerusalem, the Jews will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
12 Patuyowine makowe aga, twenga na bandu babile atama mahali palo twatimsihi Paulo kana ayende Yerusalemu.
Well, when we heard these things, both we and the local residents, we pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Nga Paulo kayangwa, “Mupanga kele, mwalela na kunivunja mwoyo wango? Kwa mana nibile tayari, kufungwa kwaa kae, lakini pia bulagwa kolyo Yerusalemu kwa ajili ya lina lya Ngwana Yesu.”
But Paul answered: “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14 Kwa mana Paulo apala kwaa kushawishiwa, tulekite no baya, “Bai mapenzi ya Ngwana yapangike.”
When he would not be dissuaded, we stopped, saying, “Let the will of the Lord be done.”
15 Baada ya masoba aga, tutolile mifuko yitu na kupanda kuyenda Yerusalemu.
So after those days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Baadhi ya banafunzi boka Kaisaria pia batikengamana na twenga. Batinneta mundu yumo ywakemelwa Mnasoni, mundu wa Kipro, mwanafunzi wa zamani, ambaye tutami naye.
Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing us to a certain Mnason, of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.
17 Patuikite Yerusalemu, alongo balitukaribisha kwa puraha.
And when we arrived in Jerusalem the brothers received us gladly.
18 Malabo yake Paulo atiyenda pamope na twenga kwa Yakobo, na apindo bote babile poo.
The next day Paul, with us, went to see James, and all the elders were present.
19 Baada ya kuwasalimu, alibapeya taarifa yimo baada ya yenge ya makowe ambayo Nnongo apangite nkati ya mataifa kwopitya huduma yake.
After greeting them he reported one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 Muda bayowine ago, batimsifu Nnongo, na kummakiya, “Ubweni, alongo, kubile na maelfu ilenga baaminiya nkati ya Ayahudi. Bembe bote babile na nia ya kuikamwa saliya.
But after listening they ‘glorified’ the Lord by saying to him: “You see, brother, how many tens of thousands are the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law;
21 Babakilwe kuhusu wenga, panga wafundisha Ayahudi batama kati ya mataifa kunleka Musa, na panga uwabakiye kana baatahiri bana babe, na kana baipange desturi ya zamani.
but they have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to our customs.
22 Tupalikwa panga namani? Bila shaka balowa yowa kuwa weka uisile.
What then? The assembly will certainly gather, since they will hear that you have come.
23 Nga nyo upange chelo ambacho twenga twakubakiya nambeambe: tubile na bandu ncheche ambao batiweka nadhiri.
So do this that we say to you: There are four men with us who have taken a vow.
24 Watole bandu aba na ujitakase mwene pamope nabembe, na uwalipiye gharama yabo, ili waweze kunyoa ntwe wabe. Nga nyoo kila yumo apate kuyowa panga makowe gaamakiwe kuhusu wenga ni ubocho. Balowa kujifunza panga wenga kae uikengama saliya.
Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads, and that all may know that there is nothing to the things that they have been informed about you; rather that you yourself are in line, keeping the law.
25 Lakini kwa habari ya mataifa ambao babile baumini, twaandikiye na kutoa maagizo panga bapalikwa kujiepusha na ilebe vyatitolewa dhabihu kwa sanamu, na myai, bokana na chelo chakinyongwa, na bajiepushe na umalaya.”
But concerning the Gentiles who believe we have written, having judged that they need observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from that offered to idols, from the blood, from anything strangled, and from fornication.”
26 Nga nyo, Paulo atibatola analome na lisoba lya nyaibele, atijitakasa mwene pamope nabembe, na kujingya mu'hekalu, kutangaza kipindi cha masoba ya kujitakasa, mpaka sadaka yatolewa kwa ajili ya kila yumo wao.
Then Paul took the men and purified himself with them; the next day he entered the temple to give notice of the completion of the days of purification, when the offering would be made for each one of them.
27 Masoba ago saba payakaribie yomoka, baadhi ya Bayahudi boka Asia bamweni Paulo mu'lihekalu, na makutano batikasirika, na kunnyoshea maboko.
Now when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, mobilized a whole crowd and seized him,
28 Babile bakikombwa ndoti, “Bandu ba Israeli, mutusaidie. Ayoo nga yolo mundu ywafundisha bandu kila mahali makowe ambayo ni kunchogo na bandu, saliya, na mahali pano. Pia atibaleta Ayunani katika lihekalu na kupanajisi mahali pano patakatifu.”
shouting: “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Not only that, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place!”
29 Kwa mana mwanzo babile bamweni Trofimo Muefeso abile pamope niywembe mjini, na bembe patangite panga Paulo annetike mulihekalu.
(They had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
30 Mji wote ubile na taharuki, na bandu babutuka pamope ni kunkamwa Paulo. Patintoa panja ya lihekalu, na nnango mara itabilwe.
The whole city was aroused and a mob of people formed. So having seized Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
31 Pababile bakijaribu kummulaga, habari iikite kwa nkolo wa jeshi lya alinzi kuwa Yerusalemu yote ibile itwelilwe ghasia.
As they were trying to kill him, news came to the commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Mara iyo atibatola askari na jemedari atikibutukia kipenga sa bandu. Muda bandu bamweni nkolo ba jeshi na askari atimkaribia na kunkamwa Paulo.
He immediately took soldiers and centurions and ran down among them, and when they saw the commander and the soldiers they stopped beating Paul.
33 Boka po nkolo wa jeshi atiamuru atabwe minyororo ibele. Kannaluya wenga wa nyai na upangite kele.
Then the commander came up and took hold of him, commanded that he be bound with two chains, and started inquiring who he was and what he had done.
34 Baadhi ya bandu katika kipenga babile batipayuka kilebe cheno benge chelo. Kwa mana jemedari aweza kwaa kuwamakiya chochote kwa sababu ya yelo ndoti, atiamuri Paulo aletwe mkati ya ngome.
Well some in the crowd shouted one thing and some another; so when he could not ascertain the truth, because of the uproar, he commanded him to be taken into the barracks.
35 Bai paakite mu'ngazi, atitolewa na askari kwa sababu za kipenga sa bandu.
When he reached the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the mob.
36 Maana kipenga sa bandu batikengamana na yendelea kukombwa ndoti, “muntole yolo!”
Because the crowd kept following and shouting, “Away with him!”
37 Paulo paabile atiletwa nkati ya ngome, atimmakiya nkolo wa jeshi, “Naweza kukumakiya kilebe?” Yolo nkolo wa jeshi kabaya, “Je walongela kiyunani?
As Paul was about to be led into the barracks, he said to the commander, “May I speak to you?” So he said: “Do you know Greek?
38 Je wenga wa Mmisri ambaye awali utiongoza uasi na kubatola magaidi elfu ncheche mmwitu?”
Aren't you the Egyptian who some time ago started a revolt and led the four thousand men of ‘the Assassins’ out into the wilderness?”
39 Paulo kabaya, “Nenga na Myahudi, boka mji wa Tarso ya Kilikia. Nenga ni raia wa mji maarufu. Naaloba, mniruhusu nilongele na bandu.”
But Paul said, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a not insignificant city; but I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
40 Muda jemedari ampeya ruhusa, Paulo ayemi pa'ngazi na kutoa ishara kwa bandu kwa luboko lwake. Muda woo pabile na ukimya muno, akalongela nabo kwa Kiebrania. kabaya.
So when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs and motioned to the people with his hand. When there was a great silence, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying:
