Imbombo 21
1 Unsiki ghuno tukalekine navene, tukyula ku nyanja, tukafikile mulikaja ilya Kosi, ikighono kinokikafikile mu likaja lya Rodo, na kuhuma ukuo tukafikile mulikaja lya 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 Ye tupatile i meli jinojino jilovoka kuluta ku Foinike, tukapandile na kukyula.
And finding a ship that was going to Phenicia, we embarked, and put to sea.
3 Ye tufikile pavulongolo pa kiponge ikya Kipro, tukajilekile ulubale ulwa ng'ighi, tukakyula kuluta ku Siria, tukima mulikaja ilya Tiro, ulwakuva ukuo kwekuno imeli jikale jipakilvue ishehena ja mwene.
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 Ye avavuene avavulanisivua, tukikala ukuo ifighono budika lubale. Ava vulanisivua avaava vakam'bula u Paulo kukilila uMhepo kuuti umwene nangisaghe ku Yerusalemu.
And we remained there seven days, after finding the disciples. These urged Paul, by the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 Ye visile ifighono fila, usue tukabuka kuluta kulyusue. Vooni palikimo, nava mama vavanave palikimo navaana vavanave, vakatuhingilisie musila siitu yeye tuhumile kunji kulikaja. Kange tukafughama ku pwani, tukifunya, tukalaghine tweeni.
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 Tukapandile imeli, kuno avenge vigomoka kange kunyumba sivanave.
And when we had bid each other farewell, we embarked, and they returned home.
7 Kange ye tumalile ulughendo lwitu kuhuma ku Tiro, tukafikile ku Tolemai. Pala tukahungile avanyalukolo na pikukala na vene kighono kimo.
And completing the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais: and having saluted the brethren, we remained with them one day.
8 Ikighono kino kikwisa tukabukile tukalutile ku Kaisaria. Usue tukingile munyumba ja Filipo, undaliki ughwa livangili, juno alyale jumbo vava budika lubale, najusue tukikala palikimo nu mwene.
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 Umuunhu uju alyale navahinja vano vakavilagha.
This man had four virgin daughters, who had the gift of prophesy.
10 Ye ikalile ukuo ifighono n'diiki, akika kuhuma kuvu Yahudi um'biili jumo juno itambulivua Agabo.
And as we remained there many days, there came down, from Judea, a certain prophet, named Agabus;
11 Umwene akisile kulyusue akatola ukanda ghwa Paulo. Ku uluo akipinya amaghulu nana mavoko gha mwene jujuo akaati, “U Mhepo u Mwitike iiti ndiiki,” “Ava Yahudi ku Yerusalemu vikupinya u muunhu juno itema ukanda ughu, voope vikupela mumavoko gha vaanhu avapanji.”
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 Ye tum'pulike amasio agha usue navaanhu vano vakale vikukala pala tukam'bula u Paulo aleke pitogha kuluta ku Yerusalemu.
And when we heard these things, we, and those of that place also, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Pe u Paulo akamula, “Muvomba kiki, mulila na kudenyania inumbula jango? Ulwakuva niling'anisie, nambe kukungua kweene, looli kange kufwila ukuo ku Yerusalemu vwimila vwa litavua ilya Mutwa Yesu.”
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 Ulwakuva u Paulo nakale ilonda kuvulua, tukabuhilile na kujoova, “kange uvughane vwa Mutwa vuvombike.”
And as he would not be persuaded, we kept silence, and said: The will of the Lord be done.
15 Ifighono ifi, tukatolile amafuko ghitu nakuluta ku Yerusalemu.
And after these days we prepared for our journey, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Avavulanisivua vamo kuhuma ku Kaisaria tukafwatine nusue. Vakan'twala umuunhu jumo juno itambulivua Mnasoni, muunhu ghwa ku Kipro, um'bulanisivua ghwa pakali, juno tulikalile palikimo.
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 Ye tufikile ku Yerusalemu, avanyalukolo vakatuupile nulukelo.
And when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 Ikighono kino kikwisa u Paulo akalutile palikimo nusue kwa Yakobo, nava ghogholo vooni vano pevakale.
And, on the following day, Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
19 Ye tuhungile, akavapela imola jino ye jikyale ijinge amasio ghano uNguluve alyavombile mu vanave mu vapanji kuhumila mumbombele inofu ijaija ija mweene.
And when he had saluted them, he related, in every particular, the things which. God had done among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 Unsiki ye vam'pulike agha, vakam'pala u Nguluve, pe vakam'bula, “Ghulola, nyalukolo kweghale amaelufu ghalingi vitiike muvala muva Yahuhudi. Aveene Vooni valinuvufumbue uvwakukola indaghilo.
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 Vavulilue kusimilisivua uve, kuuti ghu vulanisia ava Yahudi vino vikukala pakate pavapanji kulekana nu Musa, kuuti ghukuvavula vano navakekile avaana vavanave, kangekange navangafwataghe injio isa kali.
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 Tunoghile tuvombe kiki? Vikagula kuuti vipulika uve ghwisile.
What, then, is to be done? A multitude must certainly come together; for they will hear that you have come.
23 Lino vombagha kino usue tukukuvula: tuulinavoope vaanhu vane vano vavikile ulujigho.
Do, therefore, this which we advise you. We have four men who have a vow on them.
24 Vatole avaanhu ava pe ghuvalasie ghwe mwene palikimo navene, pe uvahombele ighalama savanave, neke vakeete amatue ghavanave. Mu uluo umuunhu jumo akagule kuuti ghano gha vombilue vwimila uve gha vudesi. Vamanyile kuuti uve ghugadilile indaghilo.
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 Looli imola isa vapanji vaano viitiki, tulyalembile na kuhumia ululaghilo kuuti vanoghile kukujileka ni fiinu fino fihumisivue mumatekelo agha fihweni, ni danda, kuhuma ni kila kino kinyongilue, kange vavulekaghe uvuvafu.”
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 Pe pano, u Paulo akavatoola avaghosi, ikighono ikyavuvili, akinosisie jujuo palikimo na veene, akingila mu nyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila, kupulisia unsiki ughwa kighono ikyakuvavulanisia na lilitekelo lihumisivue vwimila umuunhu ghweni ughwa vanave.
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 Ifighono fila ifya budika lubale ye flipipi kusila, ava Yahudi vamo kuhuma ku Asia vakamwaghile u Paulo mu nyumba imbaha inyimike ija kufunyila, namapugha vakakalala, kange vakamugholokesia amavoko.
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 Valyale vijeghela, “Avaanhu ava ku Israeli, mututange, uju ghwe muunhu jula juno ivulanisia avaanhu kwooni amasio ghano gha pungine na vaanhu, indaghilo pano tulipuo apa. Kange avaletile ava Yunani mu nyumba inyimike ijakufunyila na piku panyasia apa pa vwimike.”
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 Ulwakuva pavwasio valyale vamwaghile u Trofimo mu Efeso alyale nu mwene palikimo kulikaja, aveene vyalale viiti u Paulo akan'twala ku nyumba imbaha inyimike ija kufunyila.
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 Ilikaja lyooni lilyale nuludegho, na vaanhu vakakimbiila palikimo na ku n'kola u Paulo. Vakamumia kunji mu nyumba imbaha ijakufunyila, kaange amalyango ghakadindua.
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 Ye valyale vighela kukum'buda imola sikam'fikila um'baha ghwa kipugha ikya valoleli kuuti i Yerusalemu jooni jilyale jimemile ulunjughanjugha.
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 Pa uluo akavatola avasikari nava jemedari akakimbilila ikipugha. Unsiki ghuno avaanhu ye vamwaghile um'baha ughwa valoleli navasikari, vakamuleka kun'tova u Paulo.
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 Kange um'baha ghwa kipugha ye alipipi akan'kosa u Paulo, pe akalaghila akungue namanyololo mu m'biili. Akam'posia umwene kaange ghwe veeni kange ghwe veeni avombile kicking.
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 Vamo avaanhu mukipugha valyale vilalatila ikiiinu iiki navange ikinge. Ulwakuva u jemedari naghelile kukuvavula ikinu kye kyoni kila ulwakuva lwa njeghelo sila, akalaghila u Paulo ise munkate mu lilinga.
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 Kange ye afikile pa ngasi, pe akatolua nu nsikari ughwa kipugha vwimila uvwa lunjughanjugha.
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 Pe ikipugha kikam'bingilila na kughendelela ni njeghelo, “M'busie uju!”
For the greater part of the people followed, crying out: Away with him!
37 U Paulo ye itwalua munkate mu ngome, akam'bula um'baha ghwa kipugha, “Lunoghile kukum'bula ikinu?” Um'baha jula ughwa kipugha akaati, “Ghujova ikii 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 Asi, uve naveve mu Misri juno pavutengulilo alongosia uvugalusi kaange atoola avalugu imbilima shine kulukuve?”
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 akaati, “Une nili Muyahudi kuhuma mulikaja ilya Tarso ilya ku Krikia. UneUne nili muholua ghwa likaja lino litanbulike. Nikuvasuma, munitavule nijove na vaanhu.”
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 Unsiki ghuno u jemedari atavwile, u Paulo Akiva pa ngasi akahumia indaghilo ku vaanhu kuluvoko lwa mwene. Unsiki ghuno ghukalilime fiijo pe akajova navoope kuki Hebrania. Akaati,
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:
