Acts 21
1 [After] we said goodbye to the elders [from Ephesus], we [got on the ship and] sailed to Cos [Island, where the ship stopped for the night]. The next day we sailed from Cos to Rhodes [Island, where the ship stopped again. The day after] that we sailed to Patara [town, where the ship stopped. This was on Patara Island].
Kun olimme eronneet heistä ja lähteneet purjehtimaan, laskimme suoraan Koossaareen ja seuraavana päivänä Rodoon ja sieltä Pataraan.
2 [At Patara we left that ship, and someone told us that] there was a ship that would be going to Phoenicia [region. So] we got on that ship, and it left.
Siellä tapasimme Foinikiaan menevän laivan, astuimme siihen ja lähdimme purjehtimaan.
3 [We sailed until] we could see Cyprus [Island]. We passed to the south of the island and continued sailing until we arrived at [Phoenicia region, in] Syria [province]. We arrived at Tyre [city. The ship was going to stay there several days, because its workers] had to unload the cargo.
Ja kun Kypro rupesi näkymään ja oli jäänyt meistä vasemmalle, purjehdimme Syyriaan ja nousimme maihin Tyyrossa; siellä näet laivan oli määrä purkaa lastinsa.
4 [Someone told us] where the believers in Tyre lived, so we [(exc) went and] stayed with them for seven days. Because [God’s] Spirit revealed to them ([that people would cause Paul to suffer/Paul would suffer]) [in Jerusalem], they told Paul that he should not go there.
Ja tavattuamme opetuslapset me viivyimme siellä seitsemän päivää. Ja Hengen vaikutuksesta he varoittivat Paavalia menemästä Jerusalemiin.
5 But when it was time [for the ship to leave again], we [prepared to] continue going [to Jerusalem]. When we left [Tyre], all the believers, including their wives and children, went with us [to the edge of the sea]. We all knelt down there on the sand/shore and prayed.
Mutta kun olimme viettäneet loppuun ne päivät, lähdimme matkalle, ja kaikki saattoivat vaimoineen ja lapsineen meitä kaupungin ulkopuolelle saakka. Ja me laskeuduimme rannalla polvillemme ja rukoilimme;
6 After we all said goodbye, Paul and we [his companions] got on the ship, and the [other] believers returned to their own homes.
ja sanottuamme jäähyväiset toisillemme astuimme laivaan, ja he palasivat kotiinsa.
7 After we [(exc)] left Tyre, we continued on [that ship] to Ptolemais [city]. There were believers there, and we greeted them and stayed with them that night.
Tyyrosta me saavuimme Ptolemaikseen, ja siihen päättyi purjehduksemme. Ja me tervehdimme veljiä siellä ja viivyimme päivän heidän luonansa.
8 The next day we left [Ptolemais] and sailed to Caesarea [city], where we stayed in the home of Philip, who [spent his days] telling others how to become disciples of Jesus. He was one of the seven [men whom the believers in Jerusalem had chosen to care for the widows].
Mutta seuraavana päivänä me lähdimme sieltä ja tulimme Kesareaan, jossa menimme evankelista Filippuksen tykö, joka oli yksi niistä seitsemästä, ja jäimme hänen tykönsä.
9 He had four daughters who were not married. Each of them [frequently] spoke messages that the Holy Spirit had revealed to them.
Ja hänellä oli neljä tytärtä, neitsyttä, joilla oli profetoimisen lahja.
10 After [we(exc) had been in Philip’s house for] several days, a believer whose name was Agabus came down from Judea [district] and arrived [in Caesarea]. He [frequently] spoke messages that the Holy Spirit had told him.
Siellä me viivyimme useita päiviä. Niin tuli sinne Juudeasta eräs profeetta, nimeltä Agabus.
11 Coming over to where we were, he took off Paul’s belt. Then he tied his own feet and hands with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] in Jerusalem will tie up [the hands and feet of] the owner of this belt, like this, and they will hand him over to non-Jewish people [as a prisoner].’”
Ja tultuaan meidän luoksemme hän otti Paavalin vyön, sitoi sillä jalkansa ja kätensä ja lausui: "Näin sanoo Pyhä Henki: 'Sen miehen, jonka vyö tämä on, juutalaiset näin sitovat Jerusalemissa ja antavat pakanain käsiin'."
12 When [the rest of] us heard that, we and [other] believers there repeatedly pled with Paul, “Please do not go up to Jerusalem!”
Kun sen kuulimme, pyysimme, sekä me että ne, jotka siellä asuivat, ettei hän menisi Jerusalemiin.
13 But Paul replied, “(Please stop crying and trying to discourage me [IDM] [from going!]/Why are you crying and trying to discourage me [IDM] [from going]?) [RHQ] I am willing to be put {[for people] to put me} in prison and also to be killed {[for them] to kill me} in Jerusalem because I [serve] [MTY] the Lord Jesus.”
Silloin Paavali vastasi ja sanoi: "Mitä te teette, kun itkette ja särjette minun sydäntäni. Sillä minä olen valmis, en ainoastaan käymään sidottavaksi vaan myöskin kuolemaan Jerusalemissa Herran Jeesuksen nimen tähden."
14 When [we(exc) realized that] he was determined [to go to Jerusalem], we did not try [any longer] to persuade him [not to go]. We said, “May (the Lord [God] do what he wants/the Lord’s will be done)!”
Ja kun hän ei taipunut, niin me rauhoituimme ja sanoimme: "Tapahtukoon Herran tahto".
15 After those days [in Caesarea], we [(exc)] prepared [our things] and [left to] go [by land] up to Jerusalem.
Niiden päivien kuluttua me hankkiuduimme ja menimme ylös Jerusalemiin.
16 Some of the believers from Caesarea also went with us. [On the way to Jerusalem], we stayed [one night] in the house of [a man whose name was] Mnason. He was from Cyprus [Island], and he had believed [in Jesus] when people were first beginning to hear the message [about him].
Ja meidän kanssamme tuli myös opetuslapsia Kesareasta, jotka veivät meidät majapaikkaamme, erään vanhan opetuslapsen, kyprolaisen Mnasonin, tykö.
17 When we arrived in Jerusalem, [a group of] the believers greeted us happily.
Ja saavuttuamme Jerusalemiin veljet ottivat meidät iloiten vastaan.
18 The next day Paul and the rest of us went to speak with James, [who was the leader of the congregation there]. All of the [other] leaders/elders [of the congregation in Jerusalem] were also there.
Seuraavana päivänä Paavali meni meidän kanssamme Jaakobin tykö, ja kaikki vanhimmat tulivat sinne saapuville.
19 Paul greeted them, and then he reported all of the things that God had enabled him to do among the non-Jewish people.
Ja kun hän oli heitä tervehtinyt, kertoi hän kohta kohdalta kaikki, mitä Jumala hänen palveluksensa kautta oli tehnyt pakanain keskuudessa.
20 When they heard that, James and the other elders said, “Praise the Lord!” Then [one of] them said to Paul, “Brother/Friend, you [(sg)] know that there are very many thousands of us [(inc)] Jewish people [here] who have believed [in the Lord Jesus]. Also, you know that we [(inc)] all continue very carefully to obey the laws [that Moses gave us].
Sen kuultuaan he ylistivät Jumalaa ja sanoivat Paavalille: "Sinä näet, veli, kuinka monta tuhatta juutalaista on tullut uskoon, ja he ovat kaikki lainkiivailijoita.
21 [But our fellow Jewish believers] have been told {have heard [people say]} that when you are among non-Jews, you tell the Jewish believers who live there that they should stop obeying [the laws] [MTY] ([of] Moses/[that] Moses [received from God]). [People say that] you tell [those Jewish believers] not to circumcise their sons and not to practice our [other] customs. [We(exc) do not believe that this is true].
Mutta heille on kerrottu sinusta, että sinä opetat kaikkia pakanain seassa asuvia juutalaisia luopumaan Mooseksesta ja kiellät heitä ympärileikkaamasta lapsiaan ja vaeltamasta säädettyjen tapojen mukaan.
22 But our fellow [Jewish] believers will certainly hear that you have arrived, [and they will be angry with you]. So [you] need to do something [RHQ] [to show them that what they heard about you is not true].
Mitä siis on tehtävä? Varmaankin on suuri joukko kokoontuva, sillä he saavat kuulla sinun tulleen.
23 So you should do what we suggest to you. There are four men among us who have strongly promised [to God] about [something].
Tee siis tämä, minkä me nyt sinulle sanomme. Meillä on täällä neljä miestä, joilla on lupaus täytettävänä.
24 Go with these men [to the Temple] and [ritually] purify yourself along with them. Then, [when it is time for them to offer the sacrifices for that ritual], pay for what they offer [as sacrifices]. After that, they can shave their heads [to show that they have done what they promised to do. And when people see you in the courts of the Temple with those men], they will know that what they have been told {what people have told them} about you is not true. Instead, all of them will know that you obey all our Jewish laws [and rituals].
Ota ne luoksesi ja puhdista itsesi heidän kanssansa ja maksa kulut heidän puolestaan, että he saisivat leikkauttaa tukkansa; siitä kaikki huomaavat, ettei ole mitään perää siinä, mitä heille on kerrottu sinusta, vaan että sinäkin vaellat lain mukaan ja noudatat sitä.
25 As for the non-Jewish believers, [we elders here in Jerusalem have talked] about [which of our laws] they [should obey, and] we [(exc)] wrote them [a letter, telling them] what we decided. [We wrote] that they should not eat meat that people have offered as a sacrifice to any idol, [that they should not eat] blood [from animals], and that [they should not eat] meat from animals [that people have killed by] strangling [them. We also told them that] they should not have sex with someone to whom they are not married.”
Mutta uskoon tulleista pakanoista me olemme päättäneet ja kirjoittaneet, että heidän on välttäminen epäjumalille uhrattua ja verta ja lihaa, josta ei veri ole laskettu, ja haureutta."
26 So Paul [agreed to do what they asked], and the next day he took the [four] men, and together they ritually purified themselves. After that, Paul went to the Temple [courts and] told [the priest] what day they would [finish] purifying themselves [ritually] and when [they] would offer [the animals as sacrifices] for each of them.
Silloin Paavali otti ne miehet luokseen, ja kun hän seuraavana päivänä oli puhdistanut itsensä heidän kanssaan, meni hän pyhäkköön ja ilmoitti, milloin heidän puhdistumispäivänsä tulisivat päättymään, jota ennen heidän kunkin edestä oli tuotava uhri.
27 When the seven days [for purifying themselves] were nearly finished, Paul [returned] to the Temple [courtyard]. Some Jews from Asia [province] saw him there, [and they were very angry at him]. On another day they had seen Paul [walking around] in Jerusalem with Trophimus, who was a non-Jew. Their laws did not permit non-Jews to be in the Temple, and they thought that Paul had brought Trophimus into the Temple [courtyard that day. So] they called out to many other Jews [who were in the Temple courtyard] to [help them] seize [MTY] Paul. They shouted, “Fellow Israelites, come and help [us punish this] man! This is the one who is [constantly] teaching people wherever [he goes that they] should despise the [Jewish] people. [He teaches people that they should no longer obey] the laws [of Moses] nor respect this holy [Temple]. He has even brought non-Jews here into [the court of] our Temple, causing God to consider it no longer holy!”
Mutta kun ne seitsemän päivää olivat päättymässä, näkivät Aasiasta tulleet juutalaiset hänet pyhäkössä, kiihoittivat kaiken kansan ja kävivät häneen käsiksi
ja huusivat: "Israelin miehet, auttakaa! Tämä on se mies, joka kaikkialla opettaa kaikkia ihmisiä meidän kansaamme ja lakiamme ja tätä paikkaa vastaan, onpa vielä tuonut kreikkalaisia pyhäkköönkin ja saastuttanut tämän pyhän paikan."
Sillä he olivat ennen nähneet efesolaisen Trofimuksen kaupungilla hänen kanssaan ja luulivat, että Paavali oli tuonut hänet pyhäkköön.
30 [People] throughout [MTY] the city heard that there was trouble [at the Temple courtyard], and they came running there. They grabbed Paul and dragged him outside of the Temple [area]. The gates [to the Temple courtyard were shut] {[The Temple guards] shut the doors [to the Temple courts]} immediately, [so that the people would not riot inside the Temple area].
Ja koko kaupunki tuli liikkeelle, ja väkeä juoksi kokoon; ja he ottivat Paavalin kiinni, raastoivat hänet ulos pyhäköstä, ja heti portit suljettiin.
31 While they were trying to kill Paul, someone [ran to the fort near the Temple] and told the Roman commander that many [HYP] people [MTY] in Jerusalem were rioting [at the Temple].
Ja kun he tahtoivat hänet tappaa, sai sotaväenosaston päällikkö sanan, että koko Jerusalem oli kuohuksissa.
32 The commander quickly took some officers and [a large group of] soldiers and ran to [the Temple area where] the crowd was. When the crowd of people [who were yelling and beating Paul] saw the commander and the soldiers [coming], they stopped beating him.
Tämä otti heti paikalla mukaansa sotilaita ja sadanpäämiehiä ja riensi alas heidän luoksensa. Kun he näkivät päällikön ja sotilaat, lakkasivat he lyömästä Paavalia.
33 The commander came to [where Paul was and] seized him. He [commanded soldiers] to fasten a chain to [each of] Paul’s [arms]. Then he asked [the people in the crowd], “Who is this man, and what has he done?”
Silloin päällikkö astui esiin, otatti hänet kiinni ja käski sitoa hänet kaksilla kahleilla ja kysyi, kuka hän oli ja mitä hän oli tehnyt.
34 Some of the many people there were shouting one thing, [and] some were shouting something else. Because they continued shouting so loudly, the commander could not understand [what they were shouting. So] he [commanded] that Paul be taken {[the soldiers] to take Paul} into the barracks [so that he could question him there].
Mutta kansanjoukosta huusivat toiset sitä, toiset tätä. Ja koska hän melun tähden ei voinut saada varmaa selkoa, käski hän viedä hänet kasarmiin.
35 [The soldiers] led Paul to the steps [of the barracks], but many people continued to follow them, trying to kill [Paul. So the commander told] the soldiers to carry Paul [up the steps into the barracks].
Ja kun Paavali tuli portaille, täytyi sotamiesten kantaa häntä kansan väkivallan tähden;
36 The crowd that followed kept shouting, “Kill him! Kill him!”
sillä suuri kansanpaljous seurasi perässä ja huusi: "Vie pois hänet!"
37 As Paul was about to be taken {[the soldiers] were about to take Paul} into the barracks, he said [in Greek] to the commander, “May I speak to you?” The commander said, “(I am surprised that you can speak the Greek [language]!/Can you [(sg)] speak the Greek [language]?)” [RHQ]
Ja kun oltiin kuljettamassa Paavalia sisälle kasarmiin, sanoi hän päällikölle: "Onko minun lupa sanoa sinulle jotakin?" Niin tämä sanoi: "Osaatko sinä siis kreikkaa?
38 “(I [thought] that you [(sg)] were that fellow/Are you not that fellow) from Egypt [RHQ] who wanted to rebel [against the government not long ago], and who took 4,000 violent terrorists [with him] out into the desert, [so that we could not catch him]?”
Etkö sitten olekaan se egyptiläinen, joka hiljakkoin villitsi ne neljätuhatta murhamiestä ja vei heidät erämaahan?"
39 Paul answered, “[No, I am not!] I am a Jew. I [was born] in Tarsus, which is an important [LIT] city in Cilicia [province]. I ask that you [(sg)] let me speak to the people.”
Niin Paavali sanoi: "Minä olen juutalainen mies, Tarson, tunnetun Kilikian kaupungin, kansalainen; pyydän sinua, salli minun puhua kansalle".
40 Then the commander permitted Paul [to speak. So] Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand [for the crowd to be quiet. And after] the people in the crowd became quiet, Paul spoke to them in [their own] Hebrew language [MTY].
Ja kun hän sen salli, niin Paavali, seisoen portailla, viittasi kädellään kansalle; ja kun oli syntynyt syvä hiljaisuus, puhui hän heille hebreankielellä ja sanoi:
