Matendu 21
1 Patumaliliti kumgambira kwaheri, tukweniti meli tugenda mpaka kosi. Shirawu yakuwi tusokiti Rodi, na kulawa aku tugenditi patara.
Now as soon as we had parted from them, and set sail, we came in a strait course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
2 Aku, tuwoniti meli yaiweriti yankugenda Foiniki, hangu tukweniti, tugenda mwanja.
And finding a ship there, which was passing over to Phenicia, we went aboard it, and set sail.
3 Patusokiti kala pahala peni tuweziti kuwona kupiru, tupitiriti uwega wakuwi wa kushana tugenda Siriya. Tupumliriti mulushi lwa Tiru peni meli ilii iweriti wankusulusiya visanka vyakuwi.
And coming in fight of Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed to Syria, and came down to Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade.
4 Tuwoniti waumini wamu aku, na tulivaga pamwera nawomberi kwa lijuma limu. Kwa likakala lya Rohu, wamgambira Paulu kotukugenda Yerusalemu.
And we stayed there seven days; having met with some disciples: who told Paul by the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 Kumbiti shipindi shetu pashiperiti tuwukiti woseri pamuhera na wadala na wana wawu watupelekiti mpaka kunja ya lushi. Patusokiti kumbwani, twawoseri tusundamaliti na tumluwa Mlungu.
But when we had completed these days, we departed and went our way, all of them attending us with their wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore and prayed.
6 Shakapanu patulongiti kwaheri, twenga tukwena meli, nawomberi wawuya ukaya kwawu.
And having taken leave of each other, we went into the ship, and they returned home.
7 Twenga twendereyiti na mwanja gwetu kulawa Tiru tusoka Tolemaisi kweni tuwalamsiya wawumini, tulikaliti nawomberi lishaka limu.
And we finishing our voyage, came down from Tyre to Ptolemais, and saluting the brethren stayed with them one day.
8 Shirawu yakuwi tuwukiti na tusoka Kaisariya. Aku tulikaliti ukaya kwa Mwinjilisti Filipi yomberi kaweriti yumu gwa walii saba wawasyaguliti kutanga Yerusalemu kulii.
On the morrow Paul and those that were with him departed from Ptolemais, and came to Cesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven deacons, we stayed with him.
9 Kaweriti na wahinga wamsheshi weni waweriti na shipaji sha kutakulira ujumbi wa Mlungu.
And he had four daughters virgins, that were prophetesses.
10 Pawalikaliti aku mashaka ng'o, mbuyi yumu wamshema Agabu kiziti kulawa Yudeya.
And as we abode there several days, there came down from Judea a certain prophet named Agabus:
11 Katuyiziriti, katola Mkanda gwa Paulu, kalitawa mumawoku na mumagulu Kalonga, “Rohu Mnanagala katakula hangu, ‘Wayawudi Yerusalemu wamtawi ntambu ayi muntu kana mkanda agu na wantu wa maisi wamkamli.’”
and he came to us, and taking up Paul's girdle, and binding his own hands and feet, he said, Thus saith the holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man whose girdle this is, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Patupikiniriti aga, twenga na wantu wamonga walii wawaweriti panu tumluwiti Paulu kotukugenda Yerusalemu.
And when we heard these things, both we and those of the place intreated him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Kumbiti Paulu kankuliti, “Mfira kutenda shishi? Mfira kugumega moyu gwangu kwa masozi? Neni nwera kala hera ndiri kutatilwa mnumba kulii Yerusalemu, ila ata kuhowa kwajili ya Mtuwa Yesu.”
But Paul answered, What do ye mean, 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 Patusinditi kumuzyangazyanga tunyamala, tulonga hera, “Shakafira Mtuwa shitendeki!”
And as he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 Pawatamiti palii kwa katepu, tuyopiti visanka vyetu, twendereyiti na mwanja kugenda Yerusalemu.
And after these days were expired, we packed up our things, and went to Jerusalem.
16 Wamu wa wafundwa walii wa Kaisariya wagenditi pamuhera natwenga, watujega ukaya kwa Mnasoni yomberi tuweriti twankugenda kulikala nayomberi kwa katepu. Mnasoni kaweriti mwenikaya gwa kupiru na kaweriti muwumini gwa mashaka gavuwa.
And there went also with us from Cesarea some of the disciples, who brought us to one Mnason a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we were to lodge.
17 Patuyingiriti Yerusalemu, walongu wawumini watuyangiti weri nentu.
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us with joy.
18 Shirawu yakuwi Paulu kagenditi pamwera natwenga kumlamusiya Yakobu, na wazewi na shipinga sha wantu wawamjimira Yesu Kristu waweriti viraa.
And the next day Paul went in with us to James: and all the elders were present.
19 Pawamlamsiyiti kala, Paulu kawayupiti shisoweru kamili kuusu goseri Mlungu gakaweriti kagatenda pakati pa wantu wa maisi kwa njira ya lihengu lyakuwi.
And when he had saluted them, he gave a particular narrative of the things which God had done among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 Pawapikiniriti aga, wamkwisa Mlungu. Shakapanu kamgambira Paulu, “Mlongu, guweza kuwona handa kwana Wayawudi maelufu weni vinu wawera wajimira na woseri awa wagatenda weri malagaliru.
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of the believing Jews, and they are all zealous for the law.
21 Wapata visoweru vyakuwi handa guweriti gwanguwafunda Wayawudi yawalikala muwamu mwa wantu wa maisi gamonga nawagashera ndiri malagaliru ga Musa, kotukuwayigiziya jandu wananguta wawu na kotukuzifata mila za Wayawudi.
And they have heard of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews, who are among the Gentiles, to forsake the law of Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk after our customs.
22 Nakaka wapikinira handa kasoka kala panu. Tutendi hashi, shakapanu?
What then is to be done? The people must necessarily meet together; for they will hear that thou art come.
23 Su, gutendi handa ntambu yatukugambiziyiti. Twa panu wantu msheshi weni watula nazili.
Do this therefore, which we advise thee. Here are four men with us, that have a vow upon them: take these and be purified with them,
24 Gwingiri pamuhera na womberi, gulipungi pamuhera na womberi na gulipi na shyasi shashiwusika kwa womberi shakapanu wamogi viri zawu. Su kila muntu hakavimani kuwera visoweru vyoseri vilii vyawagambiritwi kuusu gwenga vyahera mana, kumbiti gwenga gumweni gwendereya weri na kugajimira malagiliru ga Musa.
and join in their expences, that they may shave their head: and that all may know, that there is nothing in what they have heard of thee; but thou thyself walkest according to the law.
25 Kuusu wantu walii wa maisi gamonga wantu yawamjimira Yesu, tuwajegera kala luhamba twankuwagambira vitwatira vyatuamuwiti, waleki kuliya shoseri shawatambikiriti kwa milungu, nawalanda mwazi ama nawaliya vinofu vya shigongolu yawaminduwitwi na waleki uhumba.”
But as to the believing Gentiles, we have written and determined, that they need observe no such thing; only to keep themselves from what is offered to idols, and from blood, and from any thing strangled, and from fornication.
26 Su lishaka lyalifatiti Paulu kawatoliti wantu walii na kalipunga pamuhera nawu. Shakapanu kingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, pakabwera visoweru vya upeleru wa mashaka ga kulipunga na tambiku meitendwi kwa kila muntu.
Then Paul took the men, and the next day being purified with them entered into the temple to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification till an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27 Shipindi mashaka saba aga pagiziti kupera, Wayawudi waweriti walawa pamkoa gwa Asiya wamwoniti Paulu Mnumba nkulu ya kumluwa Mlungu. Su, wasonguziya maya mushipinga shoseri sha wantu, wamkamula Paulu.
But when the seven days were near ended, the Jews that came from Asia seeing him in the temple, raised a tumult among the people, and laid hands on him, crying out, Men of Israel, help:
28 “Wanaisi wa Israeli, wabotanga Mtutangi! Ayu ndomweni ulii muntu yakawafunditi wantu kila pahala shitwatira shawashilema wantu wa Israeli, yagalema Malagaliru ga Musa na pahala panu pananagala. Ata vinu kawayingiziya wantu wa maisi gamonga Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kupatula uhumba pahala panu pananagala.”
this is the man that teaches all men every where against the people of the Jews, and the law, and this sacred place? and besides, hath brought Greeks too into the temple, and polluted this holy place.
29 Toziya ya kutakula hangu ndo kuwera waweriti wamwona Tirofimu, mwenikaya gwa Efesu, kaweriti pamuhera na Paulu mlushi, womberi walisheriti kuwera Paulu kaweriti kamwingiziya Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
(For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they thought Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 Lushi loseri lwingira ndewu, wantu wiza kulawa wega zoseri, wamlaviyiti Paulu kunja Kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu, na palaa panu milyangu itatwa ya Numba nkulu ya Mlungu.
And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people: and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the gates were shut.
31 Waweriti kala kumlaga kumbiti visoweru vimwizira mkulu gwa wanjagila wa shiroma kuwera Yerusalemu yoseri iweriti imema ndewu.
And as they were going to kill him, a report came to the tribune of the cohort, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar:
32 Kamu kamu mkulu gwa njagira kawatola wanjagila na mkulu gwa wanjagila, kashigendera shipinga sha wantu. Nawomberi pawamwoniti mkulu gwa njagira na wanjagila, waleka kumkoma Paulu.
who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the chiliarch and the soldiers, they left off beating Paul.
33 Mkulu gwa jeshi kamgenderiti Paulu, kambata na kuamuwa wamtawi minyololu mushimba. Shakapanu kawakosiiti, “Ndo muntu gaa ayu, na katenda shishi?”
Then the commanding officer came near and took him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains; and inquired, who he was, and what he had done.
34 Wamonga mshipinga sha wantu shilii waweriti wankubwera shintu ashi na wamonga shintu shilii. Toziya ya ndewu ayi. Mkulu gwa wanjagila kapofola kulimana shawuli kamili. Hangu, kaamuwiti wantu wakuwi wamjegi Paulu kuliboma.
But some in the croud bawled out one thing and some another: and as he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 Paulu pakasokiti palukweneru, wanjagila wampapiti toziya ya ndewu ya wantu.
And when he was upon the stairs, he was even borne by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people.
36 Toziya wantu mushipinga shikulu wamfatiti pawabotanga, “gumlagiri patali!”
For the multitude followed crying out, Away with him.
37 Pawaweriti wankumwingiziya muboma, Paulu kamluwiti mkulu gwa wajengeni kalonga, “Weza kutakula shintu?” Mkulu gwa njagira ulii kamwankula, “Hashi, gushimana shigiriki?”
And as Paul was going to be led into the castle, he said to the tribune, May I be allowed to speak a word to thee? And he said, Canst thou speak Greek?
38 “Kwani gwenga ndo ulii Mmisri ulii mashana hera kayanjishiti ungondu na kawalonguziya majahili elufu msheshi mpaka kushiwala?”
Art not thou that Egyptian, who before this madest a sedition, and didst lead out into the wilderness four thousand murtherers?
39 Paulu kankula, “Neni ndo Myawudi, mwiwuka gwa Tarisu pa Kilikiya, neni ndo mwiwuka gwa lushi lwalumanikana. Shondi nukuluwa, gunekeziyi ntakuli na wantu.”
But Paul said, I am indeed a Jew, a man of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beg thou wouldest permit me to speak to the people.
40 Mkulu ulii gwa wanjagila kamjimira. Hangu Paulu kagolokiti panani pa lukweneru, kawapungira mawoku wantu walii, na pawalikaliti jiii, kanja kuyowera nawomberi kwa Shiebraniya.
And when he gave him leave, Paul standing on the stairs made a sign with the hand to the people: and there being a great silence made, He spake to them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
