Imbombo zya Atume 21
1 Natalehana nabho, tishuula mubahari tafiha hu kosi, shaudabho lwakwe tafiha hu Rodo, natafuma uhwo tafiha hu muji gwa Patara.
And it came to pass that, after we had separated from them, we put to sea, and came by a straight course to Cos, and on the following day, to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.
2 Natapata emeli yelobhola hu Foinike, tinjila tashuula nayo.
And finding a ship that was going to Phenicia, we embarked, and put to sea.
3 Natafiha hu kisiwa cha hu Kipro, taileha hukhono umongo, tashuula tafiha hu Siria, tabhila enanga hu muji gwa hu Tiro, uhwo emeli yahanziwaga ahwisye amazigo.
And we came in view of Cyprus; and, leaving it to the left, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to put off her lading.
4 Natabhalola amanyili, takhala uhwo ensiku saba. Amanyili ebha bhasunda uPaulo ashilile hu Mpepo Ufinjile huje usahakhanye ulwayo hu Yerusalemu.
And we remained there seven days, after finding the disciples. These urged Paul, by the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 Natamalizya ensiku zila, tasogola. Bhatilolezya bhonti nabhashi bhabho na bhana bhabho hwatabhalaga natafiha munshinji ye bahari tafugamila mafugamo tapuuta, nkalatagana nabho.
And when these days were completed, we went forth, and continued our journey, they all, with their wives and children, conducting us out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 Ate tiinjila mumeli, bhope bhawele amwabho.
And when we had bid each other farewell, we embarked, and they returned home.
7 Natamalizya esafari yetu afume hu Tiro, tafiha hu Tolemai. Pala tabhalamuha aholo takhala isiku limo.
And completing the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais: and having saluted the brethren, we remained with them one day.
8 Shandabho lwakwe tasogola tafiha hu Kaisaria. Ate tinjile munyumba ya Filipo, yaali lombeleli wi izu lya Ngulubhi, aali na bhaale saba.
On the following day we departed, and came to Cæsarea, and went into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven; and we remained with him.
9 Omuntu unuaali na bhaale bhane abhaale ebho bhakuwaga.
This man had four virgin daughters, who had the gift of prophesy.
10 Natakhala uhwo, ahika ukuwe umo afume hu Uyahudi itawa yu Agabo.
And as we remained there many days, there came down, from Judea, a certain prophet, named Agabus;
11 Ahinzile hulite, wega ilampa lya Paulo wahwipinya amakhono na manama, waga Umpepo Ufinjile aiga. umwanisholilampa eli bhabhahumpiye Ayahudi bha hu Yerusalemu, na hutwale mumakhono ga bhantu bha mataifa.”
and he came to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own hands and feet, and said: Thus says the Holy Spirit; the Jews that are in Jerusalem will so bind the man to whom this girdle belongs; and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Natumvwa enongwa izyo ate na bhantu bhabhakhala pala tabhuula u Paulo huje asahishe abhale hu Yerusalemu.
And when we heard these things, we, and those of that place also, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 U Paulo wabhabhuula, waga mulila yeenu, mbona muntengula umwoyo ane enditayari apinywe, siyo apinywe tu nafwe hwayo, hu shauli yitawa ilya Yesu ugosi wane.”
But Paul answered: What do you effect by weeping, and breaking my heart? For I am ready, not only to be bound, but also to suffer death in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Pipo uPaulo sigaahanzaga asundwe ate taaleha, taga Ungulubhi abhombe zyazigine.”
And as he would not be persuaded, we kept silence, and said: The will of the Lord be done.
15 Nazyashila ensiku ezi, ate teega amafuko getu, taabhala hu Yerusalemu.
And after these days we prepared for our journey, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Amanyili bhamo bhabhafumile hu Kaisaria bhahalongozanya nate. Bhalete umuntu umo oMunasoni, elyo litawa lyakwe ali wa hu Kipro ali manyili kuulu yatakhiyenawo.
There went with us also some of the disciples from Cæsarea, who took with them, Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Natafiha hu Yerusalemu aholo bhetu bhatejeliye shinza tee na hulugano.
And when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 Shandao lwalwe u Paulo tabhalile tenti hwa Yakobo, na bhazee bhonti bhahali.
And, on the following day, Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
19 Nawabhalamuha, abhabhuulile zyonti zyabhombile Ungulubhi hwa mataifa ashilile hu makhono gakwe.
And when he had saluted them, he related, in every particular, the things which. God had done among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 Nabhuumvwa enongwa izyo bhalumba Ungulubhi, bhabhuula uPaulo walola, elufu zilinga zya Yahudi. Bhabhitishe abhene bhahwanza hukhate ye sheria.
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said to him: You see, brother, how many myriads of the Jews there are that believe, and they are all zealous for the law.
21 Bhabhuulilwe huje awe umanyizya Ayahudi abhahumataifa aje mugande akhate esheria ya Musa, nantele muganje abhatahiri abhana bhenyu nantele musahagilondozye emila zyetu enkuulu.
And they have heard it reported of you, that you teach all the Jews that are among the Gentiles to apostatize from Moses; commanding them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk according to the customs.
22 Eshi tikhonzye wili? Nantele bhabhahwumvwe huje uli ohu.
What, then, is to be done? A multitude must certainly come together; for they will hear that you have come.
23 Eshi ubhombe shila shatihubhuula eshi: tili na bhantu bhane bhabhahwifinjile.
Do, therefore, this which we advise you. We have four men who have a vow on them.
24 Bheje abhantu ebha uhwiyozye nabho, ubhasombele eghalama zyabho nkabhasyengule amatwe gabho. Nkabhamanye huje nawe ufuata esheria.
Take them, and join with them in their vow of abstinence, and pay their expenses, in order that they may shave their heads; and all will know that the things which they have heard reported of you are nothing; but that you yourself also walk orderly, and keep the law.
25 Lelo hwakristo abhamataifa tabhasimbiye huje musalalye evintu vyabhafumizye sadaka huvifwani, neviniongwe ni danda, nu umalaya.”
But with respect to the Gentiles that believe, we have written; having decided that they should observe no such thing; but that they keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from lewdness.
26 U Paulo wabhega alume ni isiku ilyabhili wahwiyozya yuyo nabhaala bhantu, winjila mushibhanza, watandazya ensiku ezyahwiyozye, paka esadaka bhafumye hwa bhonti.
Then Paul took the men, and, on the following day, joining in their vow of abstinence, he entered the temple, and gave notice when the days of abstinence would be completed, at which time an offering should be made for each of them.
27 Ensiku saba nazyapalamila amalishe Ayahudi bhabhafumile hu Asia bhalola uPaulo mushibhanza, bhavitwa tee, bhasontezya na makhono.
And when the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, threw all the multitude into confusion, and laid their hands on him,
28 Bhakhoola iholo abhaIsraeli enzi intuavwe ulamuntu ayinzile yamanyizya abhantu zyasigazihwanziwa mu mushibhanza ahwanza apachafule apafinjile epa.”
crying out: Men of Israel, help! this is the man who teaches all men every where against this people, and the law, and this place: and besides, he has even brought Greeks into the temple, and defiled this holy place.
29 Ulwahwande uPaulo bhalolile nu Trofimo uwa hu Efeso bhagagajibha aletile mushibhanza.
For, before this time, they had seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, whom they supposed Paul had brought into the temple.
30 Umuji gwonti gwagunduha abhantu bhashimbila bhakhata u Paulo. Bhafumya hwunzi afume mushibhanza amandyango gafungwa.
And the whole city was moved; and the people ran together, and, seizing Paul, they dragged him out of the temple, and the gates were immediately closed.
31 Nabhahanzaga hubude, ugosi wikeya lya alinzi bhe Yerusalemu huje yonti elifujo yeene.
And while they were seeking to kill him, report was brought to the officer of the band, that the whole of Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Wega askari nu jemedari bhashimbilila pa bhantu, abhantu nabhabhalola asikari bhaaleka hukhone uPaulo.
And he immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. When they saw the officer and the soldiers, they ceased beating Paul.
33 Ugosi wikeya wapalamila uPaulo wakhata bhapinya na manyoro gabhili. Wabhuzya awe, wenanu ubhombile yeenu.
Then the officer came near and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34 Abhantu bhabwagaga ibwago siga ahumvwaga nazimo zyabhayanga wabhabhuula asilari huje mwinjizi muhati mwingome.
And some in the multitude cried out one thing, and some another. But not being able to obtain any certain knowledge on account of the tumult, he commanded him to be led into the fortress.
35 Nabhafiha pangazi(pandandalilo) usikari wamwega, efujo zyali ngosi.
And when he was on the steps, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers, on account of the violence of the multitude.
36 Ipuga lya bhantu lyalondozyaga naje mwefwi uyo!”
For the greater part of the people followed, crying out: Away with him!
37 Nabhaleta uPaulo mungome, u Paulo wabhuula ugosi wi keya ibhuule ahantu?” Ugosi wi keya waga uyanga shi Yunani?
But as Paul was about to be led into the fortress, he said to the officer: May I speak to you? He replied: Do you understand Greek?
38 Awe siga yayula uMisri yalongozizye unanzi ahijile agaidi elufu zine mwisengo?”
Are you not that Egyptian, who, before these days, made an insurrection, and led out into the wilderness four thousand men of the Assassins?
39 U Paulo waga ane endi Muyahudi wa hu Tarso iya hu Kilikia. Ilaba munduhusu enjanje na bhantu.”
But Paul replied: I am a Jew of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no unknown city; and I beseech you, permit me to speak to the people.
40 Ugosi hawakunda u Paulo wimilila pa ndandalilo wabhagolosezya amakhono gakwe. Abhantu abhapuuma, wayanga nabho hushi Ebrania. Akasema,
And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing upon the steps, waved his hand to the people. And when there was great silence, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying:
