Nyingnam 21
1 Ngonu bunua alvbv doolakukv vpi kula vngyu toku. Ho koching bv sidakala bv durapla, Kos lo ngonu raplwk toku; logo nvnga ngonu Rodes lo vngchi toku, okv hokv ngv ngonu vngdavngrala Patara bv vngtoku.
And after these things had happened, having reluctantly parted from them, we sailed a direct course, arriving at Cos, and on following the day at Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Ngonu hoka svpw go Poenesia bv vngjinvgo paatoku, vkvlvgabv ngonu hoka aalwk la vngdavngra toku.
And when we had found a ship sailing across to Phoenicia, climbing aboard, we set sail.
3 Ngonu Saipras bokpin am kaapa dukubv aato, okv vbvrikunamv yorko kiambv dulu la Sairia lo aatoku. Ngonu Taire gv svgambv vngto ogulvgavbolo svpwlo gvvnama hoka gvvpv dokubv.
Then, after we had caught sight of Cyprus, keeping it to the left, we sailed on to Syria, and we arrived at Tyre. For the ship was going to unload its cargo there.
4 Ngonu hoka mvngjwngnv nyi meego kaapa minsu la okv bunua lvkobv alu kanwgo doobamto. Bunu Darwknv Dow gv jwkrw lokv Paulnyi Jerusalem bv vngma bvkv vla minto.
Then, having found the disciples, we lodged there for seven days. And they were saying to Paul, through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 Vbvritola bunua lvkobv ngonugv doobam namgv dwv vngnya kunamv, ngonu vngyu tokula okv atugv lamtv bv vngtoku. Bunu mvnwng gv, nywng kuu mvnwng ngv lvkin gobv, ngonua lvkobv pamtv agum bv vnglintoku, hoka ngonu mvnwng ngv isi agum lo lvbwng kumpv tokula kumbam toku.
And when the days were completed, setting out, we went on; and they all accompanied us with their wives and children, until we were outside of the city. And we kneeled down at the shore and prayed.
6 Vbvrikunamv ngonu asakv alv bvkv vmi sopi kula, okv ngonu svpwlo aatoku okv bunu naam bv vngkur nyatoku.
And when we had said farewell to one another, we climbed aboard the ship. And they returned to their own.
7 Ngonu atugv svpwlo vngdungla, Taire lokv Ptolimais lo dulin toku, hokaku ngonu mvngjwngnv vdwa alvbv raami solaku okv bunua lvkobv alu logo bv dooming gvvto.
Yet truly, having completed our journey by boat from Tyre, we descended to Ptolemais. And greeting the brothers, we lodged with them for one day.
8 Alu gonv nga ngonu vnglaku okv Kaisaria lo vngchi kunam. Hoka ngonu ebenjelist Pilips gv naam lo dooto, hv Jerusalem lo nyi kanwgo riduryanv gubv darlin kunam lokv akonv.
Then, after setting out the next day, we arrived at Caesarea. And upon entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.
9 Ninyi gvlo nyibu vngmadvnv Pwknvyarnv gv doina japgo yanv umvnyijar api go dooto.
Now this man had four daughters, virgins, who were prophesying.
10 Ngonu hoka alu mvngchikgo dookunamv Agabas vnam nyijwk go Judia lokv aalwk toku.
And while we were delayed for some days, a certain prophet from Judea, named Agabus, arrived.
11 Hv ngonu dookulo aato, Paul gv hok am naala, hv atugv lvpa laak lo um leelwk sutola okv minto, “So svbv Darwknv Dowv mindo: Soogv hok atua Jerusalem lo Jius nyi vdwv vbv leeri, okv bunu ninyia Jentail nyi vdwgv laak lo laklwk riku.”
And he, when he had come to us, took Paul’s belt, and binding his own feet and hands, he said: “Thus says the Holy Spirit: The man whose belt this is, the Jews will bind in this way at Jerusalem. And they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.”
12 Vdwlo ngonu sum tvvpanamgola, hoka ngonu la kvvbi vdwv Paulnyi Jerusalem bv vngma bvkv vla kumla minto.
And when we had heard this, both we and those who were from that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Vbvritola hv mirwksito, “Nonu ogubv svbv kapnyarinya la ngoogv haapok ka mvngdwk modunv? Ngo Jerusalem mvngchik lo leemwng koodubv mvngma vbvritola hoka ngo Ahtu Jisu gv lvgabv sidubv mvngta dunv.”
Then Paul responded by saying: “What do you accomplish by weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am prepared, not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14 Ngonu ninyia mintap nyumato, vkvlvgabv ngonu topu tokula, “Ahtu gv mvngnam bv rila kuka.”
And since we were not able to persuade him, we quieted, saying: “May the will of the Lord be done.”
15 Kochingso hoka meego ripikula, ngonu atugv yikungyira nga mvgemvrap tokula okv Jerusalem bv vngtoku.
Then, after those days, having made preparations, we ascended to Jerusalem.
16 Kaisaria lokv lvbwlaksu meego ngonua vngming gvvto okv ngonugv lvkobv naam doojiku ninyigv naam bv ngonua vnggv toku—Mnason, Saipras lokv, hv kvvlogv lokv mvngjwng nvgobv rinv.
Now some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing with them a certain Cypriot named Mnason, a very old disciple, whose guests we would be.
17 Vdwlo ngonu Jerusalem lo vngchi tokudw, mvngjwngnv nyi vdwv mvngpu nyala ngonua alvbv aamuto.
And when we had arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers received us willingly.
18 Logo nvnga Paul Jemsnyi kaabv ngonua lvkobv vngming gvvtoku; okv gvrja nyi nyigagatv vdwv mvnwng ngv lvkobv rinya kunam.
Then, on the following day, Paul entered with us to James. And all the elders were assembled.
19 Paul bunu mvnwng nga alvbv kaarwk sito okv ninyigv lokv Pwknvyarnv oguaingbv Jentail vdwgv pingkolo ripvkudw um mvnwng nga bunua mimpa jitoku.
And when he had greeted them, he explained each thing that God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 Hvkv gvlo tvvronam kochingso, bunu mvnwng ngv Pwknvyarnvnyi hartv nyatoku. Vbvrikunamv bunu minto, “Achiboru Paul, no kaakw tvka vdwnvgo hejarhejar Jius nyi vdwv mvngjwng nvbv rinya dukunv, okv bunu mvnwng ngv achialv bv Pvbv ngaka mvnggap nyadunv.
And they, upon hearing it, magnified God and said to him: “You understand, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
21 Bunu vbv chimpa duku no Jius nyi mvnwng nga Jentail vdwgv mooku lo rinv doonv vdwa Moses gv Pvbv nga topu dukubv tamsar duku, bunua umvuu vdwa ayakmvu kuma dvbv okv Jius vdwgv krimklu gv ridungdodung nga riming gvvku madubv minduku vla tvvpa nyapvku.
Now they have heard about you, that you are teaching those Jews who are among the Gentiles to withdraw from Moses, telling them that they should not circumcise their sons, nor act according to custom.
22 Bunu noogv so aalwk nama tvvpa rungriku. Vbvrikunamv ngonu ogugo risv ngvkudw? Vbvritola, ogugo rinam ngaka?
What is next? The multitude ought to be convened. For they will hear that you have arrived.
23 Ngonu nam svbv risv go vla mvngdunv. So sika nyi api go milvminsu tvla dopvnv.
Therefore, do this thing that we ask of you: We have four men, who are under a vow.
24 Bunua lvkobv vngnyika okv mvdurridur kolo aapwng minggv laka okv bunugv rijo minjo nga joji tvka; vbvrikubolo bunu bunugv dwmw am mwkga sito. Vbvrila mvnwng ngv chinriku bunugv nam minam lo ogu jvjv go dokumanyi vla, vbvritola bunu nonua Moses gv Pvbv lo doobwng dvnvnyi vla chiya rikunv.
Take these and sanctify yourself with them, and require them to shave their heads. And then everyone will know that the things that they have heard about you are false, but that you yourself walk in keeping with the law.
25 Vbvritola Jentail mvngjwngnv vdwa yugwngmvrwng lo lwknam dvnamtvngnam okv oyi ngaka okv oksarnam svnwngsvmin ngaka dvku madubv, okv bunua yoomur minsu madubv ngonu mimpv kunv vla bunua siti lo lvkla pau pvkunv.”
But, about those Gentiles who have believed, we have written a judgment that they should keep themselves from what has been immolated to idols, and from blood, and from what has been suffocated, and from fornication.”
26 Vkvlvgabv Paul logo nvnga nyi vdwa vnggv laku, bunua mvdurridur kolo lvkobv rimutoku. Vbvrikunamv hv Pwknvyarnvnaam lo vngtoku okv bunu mvnwng gv lvgabv mvdurridur kunama vdw lonyi bunu akinakinv risvmvsv ngvdw um minggo jito.
Then Paul, taking the men on the next day, was purified with them, and he entered the temple, announcing the process of the days of purification, until an oblation would be offered on behalf of each one of them.
27 Vbvritola vdwlo alu lokkanwv vngnya tvku namv, Asia mooku lokv Jius nyi meego Paulnyi Pwknvyarnvnaam lo kaapa toku. Bunu nyitwng nga nvngyak nvngpak la okv Paulnyi naatung toku.
But when the seven days were reaching completion, those Jews who were from Asia, when they had seen him in the temple, incited all the people, and they laid hands on him, crying out:
28 Bunu goknyato, “Israel gv nyi vdwa!” “Ridurto! So nyi angv si mooku lo vngkarla nyi mvnwng lo Israel nyi vdwa okv Moses gv Pvbv aka okv so Pwknvyarnvnaam am miyakaya la tamsar sargonv. Okv vjak hv Jentail meegoka Pwknvyarnvnaam so aagvla darwknv naam am darwk madubv mvdu!”
“Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching, everyone, everywhere, against the people and the law and this place. Furthermore, he has even brought Gentiles into the temple, and he has violated this holy place.”
29 (Bunu svbv minam si ogulvgavbolo bunu Epesus lokv Tropimusnyi Paul gv lvkobv pamtv lo ridubv kaato, okv bunu mvngtoku Paulnyi Pwknvyarnvnaam lo aagv pvnv vla.)
(For they had seen Trophimus, an Ephesian, in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
30 Tvvbwktvlo kumanam lokv pamtv mvnwng lo dupwng toku, okv nyi vdwv lvkin gobv jokbam nyala, Paulnyi naatungto, okv ninyia Pwknvyarnvnaam agum bv tunglin nyato. Okv Pwknvyarnvnaam gv agi vdwa vjakpigobv koktum nyatoku.
And the entire city was stirred up. And it happened that the people ran together. And apprehending Paul, they dragged him outside of the temple. And immediately the doors were closed.
31 Nyitwng ngv Paulnyi mvki dubv gwngto, vbvrikunamv Roman sipai kamandar lo yunying ngv aatoku Jerusalem mvnwng lo yalungyachung bv ridu vla.
Then, as they were seeking to kill him, it was reported to the tribune of the cohort: “All Jerusalem is in confusion.”
32 Vjakpigobv kamandar angv nyigam meego okv sipai twnggo naalaila nyitwng apam lo juklu toku. Vdwlo nyitwng ngv ninyia sipai atwng am kaapa tokudw, bunu Paulnyi jvngkumato.
And so, immediately taking soldiers and centurions, he rushed down to them. And when they had seen the tribune and the soldiers, they ceased to strike Paul.
33 Kamandar angv Paul dokubv aato, okv ninyia naatung toku, okv ninyia jaako sonyi go leedu kubv milin toku. Vbvrikunamv hv tvvkato, “So nyi si yvvla, okv ninyi ogugo ripvla?”
Then the tribune, drawing near, apprehended him and ordered that he be bound with two chains. And he was asking who he was and what he had done.
34 Nyitwng apam lokv meegonv ogugo goknyato, kvvbi vdwv aku subv goknyato. Hoka ho vkvnv abwkalo kuma bv rikunamv Kamandar angv kaabwk nyumato ogugo ripvnvdw, vkvlvgabv hv ninyigv nyi vdwa Paulnyi sipai naam lo vnggv dukubv minto.
Then they were crying out various things within the crowd. And since he could not understand anything clearly because of the noise, he ordered him to be brought into the fortress.
35 Bunu ninyia baatunglo vngchi minggv toku, okv vbvrikunamv sipai vdwv ninyia jootoku vkvlvgavbolo nyitwng ngv iki svrv bv rinyato.
And when he had arrived at the stairs, it happened that he was carried up by the soldiers, because of the threat of violence from the people.
36 Bunu mvnwng ngv ninyigv kochingbv aaming gvvtola, “Ninyia mvkito!” vla goknyato.
For the multitude of the people were following and crying out, “Take him away!”
37 Sipai vdwv Paulnyi sipai naam arwngbv aagv tvvrilo, hv kamandar anga minto: “Ngo nam gaam lo gamgo minla ridw?” “No Grik gaambv minto, no minyure?” Vla kamandar angv tvvkato.
And as Paul was beginning to be brought into the fortress, he said to the tribune, “Is it permissible for me to say something to you?” And he said, “You know Greek?
38 “Vbvrikunamv no kvvlo kvcho gv Ijipt nyi ako yalungyachung dula hejar api alvmanv nyi go rigvla chukrimooku lo riram la ramgvnv angv mai?”
So then, are you not that Egyptian who before these days incited a rebellion and led out into the desert four thousand murderous men?”
39 Paul mirwksito, “Ngo Jius nyi ngv, Silisia gv Tarsus lo bvngnamv, Pamtv kai nvlo doonv ngv. Ayala nga nyi vdwa gaam japmu labv.”
But Paul said to him: “I am a man, indeed a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a well-known city. So I petition you, permit me to speak to the people.”
40 Kamandar angv ninyia japdubv jitoku, vkvlvgabv Paul baatung lo dakpv tvla ninyigv laakv nyi vdwa choi bvkv vla minto. Vdwlo bunu choi bv dooto kudw, Paul bunua Hebru gaambv japtoku:
And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, motioned with his hand to the people. And when a great silence occurred, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying:
