< Matendo 21 >
1 Wakati tulipokua tumeachana nao, na tunasafiri baharini, tukafika moja kwa moja kwenye mji wa Kosi, na kesho yake tukafika mji wa Rodo, na kutoka huko tukafika mji wa Patara.
Aru taikhan pora alag koi kene amikhan jahaaj te uthi kene sidha rasta jaise aru Cos te ponchise, aru dusra din Rhodes te, aru ta te pora Patara te ahi jaise.
2 Tulipopata meli inayovuka kwenda Foinike, tulipanda tukasafiri.
Ta te pora ekta jahaaj Phoenicia te jabole thaka paise, etu pora amikhan bhi ta te uthi kene jaise.
3 Tulipofika mbele ya kisiwa cha Kipro, tukaiacha upande wa kushoto, tukasafiri hadi Siria, tukaweka nanga katika mji wa Tiro, kwa sababu huko ndiko meli ilikuwa ipakuliwe shehena yake.
Cyprus sheher ke dikhikena aru paar korise aru amikhan Syria phale jaise, aru Tyre te nami jaise, kelemane ta te jahaaj laga saman namabole thakise.
4 Baada ya kuwaona wanafunzi, tukakaa huko siku saba. Wanafunzi hawa wakamwambia Paulo kupitia kwa Roho kwamba yeye asikanyage Yerusalemu.
Aru ta te kunba biswasi chela khan lok paikene amikhan saat din ta te thakise. Aru taikhan Atma dwara Paul ke Jerusalem te najabole koise.
5 Hata tulipotimiza siku zile, sisi tukaondoka tukaenda zetu. Wote pamoja, na wanawake zao na watoto wao, walitusindikiza katika njia zetu hadi tulipotoka nje ya mji. Kisha tukapiga magoti pwani, tukaomba, tukaagana kila mmoja.
Jitia amikhan laga din pura hoi jaise titia taikhan pora alag hoi kene amikhan logote taikhan maiki khan aru bacha khan sob loi kene amikhan ke sheher bahar te loijai dise, amikhan sob ta te pora athukari kene prathana korise,
6 Tukapanda meli, huku nao wakarudi nyumbani kwao tena.
titia alag hoi kene amikhan jahaaj te uthijaise, aru taikhan nijor-nijor ghor te jai jaise.
7 Hata tulipomaliza safari yetu kutoka Tiro, tukafika Tolemai. Pale tulisalimia ndugu, na kukakaa nao kwa siku moja.
Aru jitia amikhan Tyre pora safar khotom hoise, amikhan Ptolemais te ponchise. Aru bhai khan ke salam jonai kene taikhan logote ek din thakise.
8 Kesho yake tuliondoka tukaenda Kaisaria. Sisi tukaingia nyumbani mwa Filipo, mhubiri wa injili, aliyekuwa mmoja wa wale saba, nasi tukakaa pamoja naye.
Dusra din amikhan ta te pora ahi Caesarea te ponchise, aru prochar kora Phillip jun saat jon laga majote ekjon asele, tai ghor te ahi kene tai logot thakise.
9 Mtu huyu alikuwa na mabinti wanne mabikira ambao walitabiri.
Etu manu laga shadi nakorikena thaka charjon swali thakise, aru utu khan sob bhabobani koi thakise.
10 Baada ya kukaa huko kwa siku kadhaa, akashuka kutoka Uyahudi nabii mmoja aitwaye Agabo.
Aru ta te bisi din thaki jaise, titia bhabobadi ekjon Agabus koi kene Judea pora ahise.
11 Yeye alikuja kwetu na akautwaa mkanda wa Paulo. kwa huo alijifunga miguu na mikono yake mwenyewe na kusema, “Roho Mtakatifu asema hivi,” “Wayahudi wa Yerusalemu watamfunga mtu anayemiliki mkanda huu, nao watamkabidhi mikononi mwa watu wa mataifa.”
Jitia tai amikhan logot ahise tai Paul laga peti loi nijor hath theng ke bandi kene koise, “Jun manu etu komor bandha peti laga malik ase taike ‘Jerusalem te Yehudi khan pora taike eneka bandi kene Isor najana khan laga hathte dibo, eneka Pobitro Atma koi ase.’”
12 Tuliposikia mambo hayo, sisi na watu waliokuwa wakiishi mahali pale tulimsihi Paulo asipande kwende Yerusalemu.
Etu kotha huni kene amikhan aru ta te thaka khan sob pora Paul ke Jerusalem te najabi koi kene rukhaise.
13 Ndipo Paulo alijibu, “Mnafanya nini, mnalia na kunivunja moyo wangu? Kwa maana niko tayari, siyo tu kufungwa, lakini pia kufia huko Yerusalemu kwa ajili ya jina la Bwana Yesu.”
Kintu Paul koise, “Apuni khan ki kori ase, kandi-kandi kene ami laga mon dukhai ase? Moi to taiyar ase, khali bandibole nimite nohoi, hoilebi Probhu Jisu naam karone mori bole bhi taiyar ase.”
14 Kwa vile Paulo hakutaka kushawishiwa, tuliacha na kusema, “Basi mapenzi ya Bwana yafanyike.”
Jitia amikhan janise Paul to namanibo, titia amikhan chup thaki jaise aru titia moi khan koise, “Amikhan Isor laga itcha hobo dibi.”
15 Baada ya siku hizi, tulichukua mifuko yetu na tukapanda Yerusalemu.
Aru utu din pichete amikhan saman bandhi kene Jerusalem te jai jaise.
16 Baadhi ya wanafunzi kutoka Kaisaria pia walifuatana nasi. Wakamleta mtu mmoja aitwaye Mnasoni, mtu wa Kipro, mwanafunzi wa zamani, ambaye tulikaa naye.
Caesarea te kunba chela khan amikhan logote ahise, aru taikhan Mnason koi kene Cyprus manu ekjon jun purana chela asele, taike amikhan logote thaki bole loi anise.
17 Tulipofika Yerusalemu, ndugu walitukaribisha kwa furaha.
Aru jitia amikhan Jerusalem te ponchise, biswasi bhai khan bisi khushi pora amikhan ke swekar korise.
18 Kesho yake Paulo alienda pamoja nasi kwa Yakobo, na wazee wote walikuwepo.
Aru dusra dinte Paul amikhan ke James laga ghor te loi jaise, ta te girja bura khan sob joma thakise.
19 Baada ya kuwasalimu, aliwapa taarifa moja baada ya nyingine ya mambo ambayo Mungu aliyotenda miongoni mwa mataifa kwa kupitia huduma yake.
Titia tai taikhan ke salam jonai kene Isor pora tai laga sewkai dwara ki kaam Porjati khan logote korise, eitu khan sob ekta-ekta kori kene sob koi dise.
20 Wakati waliposikia hayo, wakamsifu Mungu, na wakamwambia, “Unaona, ndugu, kuna maelfu wangapi wameamini miongoni mwa Wayahudi. Wao wote wana nia ya kushika sheria.
Taikhan etu huni kene Isor ke mohima korise, aru tai koise, “Bhai khan etu sabi, Yehudi khan majote hajar manu bhi biswas kori loise, aru taikhan sob bhal pora niyom mani thake.
21 Wameambiwa kuhusu wewe, kwamba unafundisha Wayahudi wanaoishi kati ya mataifa kuachana na Musa, na kwamba unawaambia wasiwatahiri watoto wao, na wasifuate desturi za zamani.
Taikhan ke manu khan pora apuni laga kotha koi dise, apuni Porjati khan laga jagah te thaka Yehudi khan ke Moses laga niyom ke namanibi koi kene hikai ase, aru bacha khan laga sunnot nakorile bhi hobo eneka sikhai ase hunise.
22 Tunapaswa tufanye nini? Bila shaka watasikia kwamba wewe umekuja.
Tinehoile amikhan ki koribo? Taikhan apuni yate ahi ponchise koi kene jani thakibo pare.
23 Hivyo fanya kile sisi tunachokuambia sasa: tunao watu wanne ambao wameweka nadhiri.
Karone ekta kaam koribi amikhan logote kiba kori bole kosom luwa charjon ase.
24 Wachukue watu hawa na ujitakase mwenyewe pamoja nao, na uwalipie gharama zao, ili waweze kunyoa vichwa vyao. Hivyo kila mmoja apate kujua kwamba mambo waliyoambiwa kuhusu wewe ni ya uongo. Watajifunza kwamba wewe pia unafuata sheria.
Taikhan ke loi kene taikhan logote nijorke bhi pobitro kori lobi, aru taikhan matha chuli pura kati bole kharcha dibi. Titia sob manu jani lobo taikhan pora tumikhan laga ki kotha koi ase etu sob misa ase, kintu tumikhan to thik pora thaki ase aru niyom manikena thaki ase koi kene jani lobo.
25 Lakini kwa habari za mataifa ambao wamekuwa waumini, tuliandika na kutoa maagizo kwamba wanapaswa kujiepusha na vitu vilivyotolewa dhabihu kwa sanamu, na damu, kutokana na kile kilichonyongwa, na wajiepushe na uasherati.”
Kintu Porjati khan ke jun biswas kori loise utu khan ke amikhan age pora likhi dise, murti ke boli diya laga bostu aru khun, aru gola mussri kene mangso kha-a aru bebichar kora, etu sob pora bachi thakibi koise.”
26 Ndipo, Paulo aliwatwaa wanaume, na siku ya pili, akajitakasa mwenyewe pamoja nao, akaingia Hekaluni, kutangaza kipindi cha siku za kujitakasa, hadi sadaka itolewa kwa ajili ya kila mmoja wao.
Titia Paul dusra din manu khan ke loi taikhan logote sapha kori loise, aru girja te jai kene ekjon-ekjon laga kiman din tak sapha koribo lage koi dise aru sob nimite daan korise.
27 Siku hizo saba zilipokaribia kumalizika, baadhi ya Wayahudi kutoka Asia wakamuona Paulo Hekaluni, na makutano wakakasirika, na wakamnyoshea mikono.
Kintu jitia saat-din khotom hobole hoise, kunba Yehudi khan Asia pora ahikena taike mondoli te dikhise, aru manu khan ke chukli mari kene taike dhori loise.
28 Walikuwa wanapiga kelele, “Watu wa Israeli, tusaidieni. Huyu ni yule mtu anayewafundisha watu kila mahali mambo ambayo ni kinyume na watu, sheria, na mahali hapa. Pia amewaleta Wayunani katika Hekalu na kupanajisi mahali hapa patakatifu.”
Taikhan hala kori kene koise, “Hey Israel khan, amikhan ke modot dibi, etu manu pora sob jagah te manu khan ke manu khan, niyom khan aru etu jaga laga bhirodh kotha koi ase aru sikhai ase, aru tai Yunani manu khan ke bhi girja te anikena pobitro jaga ke letera kori dise.”
29 Kwa kuwa mwanzoni walikuwa wamemwona Trofimo Muefeso akiwa pamoja naye mjini, nao walidhani kwamba Paulo alimleta hekaluni.
Age te Paul ekbar Trophimus koi kene Ephesus laga manu logote berai thaka dikhise, aru taikhan bhabise Paul he eitu ke loi girja te anise eneka bhabi thakise.
30 Mji wote ulikuwa na taharuki, na watu wakakimbia pamoja na kumkamata Paulo. Wakamtoa nje ya Hekalu, na milango mara ikafungwa.
Titia etu sheher te gondugol hoise, sob polai ahi kene Paul ke dhuri loise, aru taike tani bahar te loi jaise, aru joldi mondoli laga dorja khan bondh kori dise.
31 Walipokuwa wakijaribu kumuua, habari zilimfikia mkuu wa jeshi la walinzi kuwa Yerusalemu yote ilikuwa imejaa ghasia.
Aru taikhan taike morai dibole thaka homoi te, pura Jerusalem te hungama hoi ase koi kene etu khobor mukhyo henedhikari logote ponchise.
32 Mara hiyo akawachukua askari na jemadari akaukimbilia umati. Wakati Watu walipomwona mkuu wa jeshi na askari, wakaacha kumpiga Paulo.
Titia tai joldi sipahi khan aru henapoti khan loi kene niche phale polaikena taikhan logot punchise, aru jitia manu khan mukhyo henedhikari aru sipahi khan ke dikhise, taikhan Paul ke mari thaka pora rukhi jaise.
33 Kisha mkuu wa jeshi alimkaribia na akamshika Paulo, na akaamuru afungwe minyororo miwili. Akamuuliza yeye ni nani na amefanya nini.
Titia mukhyo henedhikari usorte ahi kene taike dhori loise, aru duita luha rusi pora taike bandi lobole koi dise, aru hudise etu manu kun ase aru tai ki korise.
34 Baadhi ya watu kwenye umati walikuwa wanapayuka kitu hiki na wengine kingine. Kwa kuwa jemadari hakuweza kuwaambia chochote kwa sababu ya zile kelele, akaamuru Paulo aletwe ndani ya ngome.
Aru bhir te kunba kiba-kibi koise, aru kunba dusra kiba koi thakise, aru bisi hala kora karone tai thik pora eku bujhi bo para nai, etu karone taike bondhi kora jagate loi jabole hukum dise.
35 Basi alipofika kwenye ngazi, akachukuliwa na askari kwa sababu ya ghasia za umati.
Jitia tai siri te ponchise, manu khan bisi khong kora karone sipahi khan taike uthaikene loi jaise.
36 Maana umati wa watu walimfuata na waliendelea kupiga kelele, “Mwondoeni huyu!”
Kelemane bisi manu tai piche-piche hala kori thakise, “Taike morai dibi!”
37 Paulo alipokuwa analetwa ndani ya ngome, alimwambia mkuu wa jeshi, “Naweza kukwambia kitu?” Yule mkuu wa jeshi akasema, “Je unaongea Kiyunani?
Jitia taikhan Paul ke bondhi rakha jagate loi jabole thakise, tai mukhyo henedhikari ke koise, “Moi apuni ke kiba kotha kobo paribo?” Tai koise, “Tumi Yunani kotha kobo pare?
38 Je, wewe si yule Mmisri ambaye awali aliongoza uasi na alichukua magaidi elfu nne nyikani?”
Olop din age te, ekjon Egypt manu, jun pora chukli mari kene gondugol kori dise, aru char-hajar ‘Hathiara manu khan ke’ jongol te loi jaise, utu manu to tumi nohoi?”
39 Paulo akasema, “Mimi ni Myahudi, kutoka mji wa Tarso ya Kilikia. Mimi ni raia wa mji maarufu. Nawaomba, mniruhusu nizungumze na watu.”
Kintu Paul koise, “Moi to Tarsus laga Yehudi ase Cilicia sheher te jonom huwa manu ase. Aru moi utu khas sheher laga ekjon manu ase. Etu nimite, apuni logote anurodh kori ase, moike manu khan logot kotha kori bole dibi.”
40 Wakati jemadari alipompa ruhusa, Paulo akasimama penye ngazi na akatoa ishara kwa watu kwa mkono wake. Wakati kulipokuwa na ukimya sana, akaongea nao kwa Kihebrania. Akasema,
Jitia tai agya dise, Paul siri te khara hoi kene kotha kobole tai hath uthaise, aru manu khan chup hoi jaise, aru jitia taikhan chup hoise, titia tai Yehudi bhasa te kotha koise. Tai koise,
