Acts 21
1 Buna tusia vambana yawu, tuyenda nate ku sanga ki Kosi. Mu lumbu kilanda bosi tuyenda ku Lodi bosi tutula ku Patala.
When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Bu tubuana masuwa maba mvioka ku Fenisi, tukota mu masuwa beni ayi tuyenda.
Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
3 Bu tufikama ku sanga ki Sipeli kioki tubika ku koko ku lumoso, beto tuviokila ku ndambu Sili, bosi tutula ku disimu di Tile. Kuawu kufueti kulululu bima biba mu masuwa.
When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tsur, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
4 Tubata minlonguki ayi tsambudi di bilumbu tuvuandila yawu. Balubula Polo mu lutumunu lu pheve Yinlongo mu bika kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
Having found the disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Rukha, that he should not go up to Urishlim.
5 Bilumbu bieto bu bimanisa, tuyenda ayi tutatamana nzietolo eto. Minlonguki mioso ayi baketo bawu ayi bana bawu bayenda tuvekisa nate kuna difula di divula. Bu tutula ku dibongo tufukama ayi tusambila.
When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. And after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
6 Bu tumana bumbakala beto yi beto, tukota mu masuwa bosi bawu bavutuka mu zinzo ziawu.
we said farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.
7 Bu tumanisa nzietolo eto mu maza, botuka ku Tile nate ku Pitolemayisi. Kuawu tuvanina bakhomba mboti. Lumbu kimvimba tukadila yawu.
When we had finished the voyage from Tsur, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
8 Mu lumbu kilanda, tuyenda ku Sezale. Tukota mu nzo Filipi, nsamuni wu Nsamu Wumboti; wuba wumosi mu tsambudi di bisadi biobi dibundu disobuladibundu. Ku nzoꞌandi tuleka.
On the next day, we departed and came to Qesarya. We entered into the house of Philipus the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 Bana baya babaketo baba yandi; basi zaba nitu yi dibakala ko. Dikaba di bikula diba yawu.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Bu tuvuanda kuna bilumbu biwombo, buna mbikudi wumosiwuba ku Yuda dizina diandi Angabusi.
As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agavus came down from Yehuda.
11 Wuyiza kutu bata; Wubonga sentila yoyi Polo kaba mvuantilanga minledi; wukikanga malu ayi mioko ayi wutuba: —Pheve Yinlongo kakembi: Buawu buabu Bayuda bela kangila ku Yelusalemi mutu vuidi sentila yayi ayi bela kunyekula mu mioko mi Bapakanu.
Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Rukha d'Qudsha: 'So will the Jews in Urishlim bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of non-Jewish people.'"
12 Bu tuwa mambu momo, beto ayi mikhuikizi mi Sezale tuleba Polo muingi kabika kuenda ku Yelusalemi.
When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged him not to go up to Urishlim.
13 Vayi niandi wutuvutudila: —A mbi lulembo vangi bu lulembo didi ayi bu lulembo mbonisa kiadi mu ntima e? Bila kuidi minu, ndidi wukubama bika sia ti, mu kota mu nloko, vayi khubimini mu fua ku Yelusalemi mu diambu di dizina di Pfumu Yesu!
Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Urishlim for the name of the Lord Yeshua."
14 Bu tusia nunga ko mu balula mabanza mandi, tusia buela kunleba ko ayi tutuba: —Bika luzolo lu Pfumu luvangama!
When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
15 Bilumbu bina bu bivioka, tukubika bima bieto ayi tuyenda ku Yelusalemi.
After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Urishlim.
16 Ndambu minlonguki minkaka mi Sezali miyenda yeto. Mitunata ku nzo Nasoni muisi Sipeli; niandi wuba nlonguki wuthama; kuidi niandi tuvuanda.
Some of the disciples from Qesarya also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17 Bu tutula ku Yelusalemi, bakhomba zituyakula mu khini.
When we had come to Urishlim, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Mu lumbu kilanda Polo wutunata kuidi Zaki, kuna ku kutakana bakulutuboso ba dibundu.
The day following, Paul went in with us to Yaquv; and all the elders were present.
19 Buna Polo wuba vana mboti, Polo wuba kamba diambu dimosi-dimosidiodi Nzambi kavanga mu niandi kuidi Bapakanu.
When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the non-Jewish people through his ministry.
20 Bu bawa mambu moso momo, bakembisa Nzambi bosi bakamba Polo: —A khomba, ngeyo mueni ti Bayuda bawombo bawilukidi ayi bawu boso bankinzikanga ngolo Mina mi Moyize.
They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law.
21 Muaki bawilu ti ngeyo wulembo longi Bayuda bobo beti zingila mu mavula ma Bapakanu ti babika buela tumimina Mina mi Moyize. Ngeyo wukuba kambanga ti babika buela zengisanga nitu yi kibakala yi bana bawu bababakala ayi babika buela tumimina bifu bieto.
They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the non-Jews to forsake Mushe, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.
22 A buabu mbi tusia e? Bila ma bawa ti wutudidi kuaku.
What then? The multitude must certainly meet. They will hear that you have come.
23 Diawu tumimina mambu momo tueka kukamba: babakala baya badi yetovava bavengi tsila.
Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 Wuba bongi, wukivedisa va kimosi ayi bawu. Ayi wuba futilazimbongo mu diambu bavukusu dikungulu. Buawu bobo batu boso bakuiza zabila ti mambu moso bawilu mu diambu diaku madi ma luvunu bila ngeyoveka weti kinzikanga Mina.
Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Law.
25 Vayi mu diambu di Bapakanu bawilukila, tubaka lukanu ayi tuba sonikina nkanda mu kuba kandika ti ba bika dianga zimbizi ziozi zitambuku makaba kuidi zinzambi zi bitumba, babika dianga bibulu biobibivondolo mu kambu totuka menga, babika dianga menga ayi babika kitsuza.
But concerning the non-Jewish who believe, we have written our decision that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality."
26 Mu lumbu kilanda, Polo wubonga batu beni, wukivedisa va kimosiayi bawu; wukota yawu mu Nzo Nzambi mu diambu di kamba kuidi batu lumbu kiela manisa tsukudulu ayi lumbu kiela vanu dikaba di kadika mutu.
Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27 Buna tsambuadi di bilumbu bieka nduka duka, Bayuda baba ku Azibayiza bakula Polo muna Nzo Nzambi, batuma batu batotula khindu mu nkangu wu atu ayi bankanga.
When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid hands on him,
28 Bayamikina: —A basi Iseli! Luiza lu tusadisa! Talanu mutu wawu wetalonga muamo ayi kuidi batu boso mu diambu di vueza batu beto, Mina mieto ayi buangu kiaki. Tala kutu wukotisidi basi Ngelese, mu Nzo Nzambi ayi wusumuni buangu kiaki kinlongo.
crying out, "Men of Israyel, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place."
29 Batubila bobo mu diambu bamona Polo, ku divula, va kimosi ayi Tolofime muisi Efeso. Bawu babanzila ti Polo wunnata ku Nzo Nzambi.
For they had previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 Divula dioso diyiza ba ntengu-ntengu ayi batu bawombo bayiza kutakana kuna mu nsualu. Bakanga Polo, bankoka nate ku nganda nzo Nzambi ayi bakanga mielo mi Nzo Nzambi.
All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
31 Bu batomba bu vondila Polo, tsangu yitula nate kuidi Pfumu masodi ma basi Loma ti khindu yeka mu Yelusalemi dioso.
As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Urishlim was in an uproar.
32 Muna thangu yina Pfumu masodi ma basi Loma wubonga masodi ayi bapfumu ziawu, bayenda nsualu ku buangu ki kutakana batu. Bu bamona pfumu masodiva kimosi ayi masodi, balembolo buela beta Polo.
Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33 Pfumu masodi wufikama vaba Polo, wunsimba ayi wutuma masodibakanga polo mu zisieni zizole. Bosi wuyuvula kani Polo niandi nani ayi diambu mbi kavengi.
Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
34 Vayi va khatitsika batu bobo bakutakana; bankaka bayamikina diambu dina; bankaka bayamikina diambu diadi. Sumbu pfumu masodi kasia zaba ko diambu diodi ditotula khindu bila divula diba dinneni; buna wutuma banata Polo ku ka ki masodi.
Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 Polo bu katula va kikada, masodi mannanguna mu diambu di nganzi yi batu bobo bakutakana vana.
When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Bila nkangu wu batu wuba kunlandakana wuba yamikina: —Kafua!
for the crowd of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him."
37 Mu thangu banzola kotisa Polo ku Ka ki masodi, wukamba pfumu masodi ti: —Ndilenda baka minsua mi kukambila diambu e? Pfumu masodi wuyuvula Polo: —Zebi tuba ki Kingelesi e?
As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, "May I speak something to you?" He said, "Do you know Greek?
38 Ngeyo wisiko muisi Ezipiti, wowo wutotula khindu mu bilumbu bibedi, wuba kuenda natanga mili ziya zi mimvondi mu dikanga e?
Are you not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
39 Polo wumvutudila: —Nana tata! Minu ndidi Nyuda, ndidi muisi Talise, divula dimosi di mfunu didi mu zunga ki Silisi. Ndemvukila, wuphana minsua miyolukila va ntuala batu.
But Paul said, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people."
40 Pfumu masodi wumvana minsua. Polo wutelama va kikada, wumuna koko mu diambu di sima biyoko bosi biyoko bimanisa. Biyoko bioso bu bimanisa, bosi wutona yoluka mu mbembo yi ki Ebelewo:
When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
