Acts 21
1 When we had departed 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.
Matungo nai katula kalekanuka ni enso, nu kutunga muhinzo mu luzi, ai kupikiie moja kwa moja mu kisali nika Kosi, nu mudau akwe kikapikiila kisali nika Rodo, nu kupuma kung'wanso kikapikiila kisali nika Patara.
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
Nai kuligilye i meli nikuputa kulongola ku Foenike, ai kunankie kikatunga umuhinzo.
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
Nai kikapika ntongeela a kisiwa nika Kipro, kikakileka nkika a kisungu, kikatunga u muhinzo kupikiila ku Siria, kikaika i nanga mu kisali nika Toro, ku nsoko kung'wanso kuko i meli ai atulaa isimiligwe i miligo akwe.
4 Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Ze yakilaa kuihenga i amanyisigwa, ki kikie kung'wanso mahiku mupungati. iAmanyisigwa awa akamutambuila uPaulo ku kiila ku Ng'wau ng'welu kina u ng'wenso waleke kupambata ku Yerusalemu.
5 When those days were over, 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. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
Nai kapikiilya ga ni mahiku nanso, u sese kikahega kulongola yitu. Ihi palung'wi, ni asungu ao ni ana ao, ai akutindikiiye munzila yitu kupikiila nai kikapuma kunzi a kisali. Uugwa kikatugama mu nshemba, kikalompa, kikilaga kila ung'wi.
6 After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
Kikanankila i meli, kunu nienso akasuka ku mato ao hangi.
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
Nai kikamala ga nu muhinzo nuitu kupuma ku Tiro, kikapikiila ku Tolemai. Pang'wanso ai kika alamusha i anyandugu, nu kikie nienso ku luhiku lung'wi.
8 On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Mudau akwe kikahega kikalongola ku Kaisaria. uSese kikingila mi ito nilang'wa Filipo, mutanantya nua nkani ninza, nai watulaa ung'wi nu awo ni mupungati, nu sese ki kikie palung'wi nu ng'wenso.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
Muntu uyu ai ukete ananso anne a mudama ai ilotaa.
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Ze yakilaa kikie kung'wanso ku mahiku kituunga, akasima kupuma ku Uyahudi munyakidagu ung'wi nuitangwa Agabo.
11 Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
Nuanso ai uzile kitaitu hangi akauhola u mukoha nuang'wa Paulo. ku uwu ai witungile migulu ni mikono akwe mukola nu kuligitya, “Ng'wau Ng'welu wiligityaa itii,” “Ayahudi nia ku Yerusalemu akumutunga u muntu niiza mukola hiu nua mukoha uwu, ni enso akuminkiilya mu mikono a antu ni anyaingu.”
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Nai kikija i makani nanso, usese ni antu nai atulaa ikie i kianza ni kanso ai kumusingilye uPaulo waleke kunankila kulongola ku Yerusalemu.
13 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 Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Uugwa uPaulo ai usukiiye, “Mukituma ntuni, mukulila nu kunihumya ukata mu nkolo ane? ku ndogoelyo nkoli nkondaniie, shanga kutungwa udu, kuiti ga nukushila kuko ku Yerusalemu ku nsoko a lina nila Mukulu uYesu.”
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
Ku iti uPaulo shanga ai uloilwe kupeng'wa, ai kulekile nu kuligitya, “Uugwa ulowa nuang'wa Itunda utumike.”
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
Ze yakilaa i mahiku nanso, ai kuhoile i mpinda yitu nu kunankila ku Yerusalemu.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
Ze yakilaa i amanyisigwa kupuma ku Kaisaria ai ityatile nu sese ga. Akamuleta muntu ung'wi nui tangwaa Mnasoni, muntu nua ku Kipro, mu manyisigwa nua kali, naiza kikie nu ng'wenso.
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
Nai kikapikiila ku Yerusalemu, anyandugu ai akusingiiye ku ulowa.
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
Mudau akwe uPaulo ai ulongoe palung'wi nu sese nu Yakobo, ni anyampala ihi nai akoli.
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Ze yakilaa kualamusha, ai uinkiiye i makani naizaa Itunda witumile mukati ao i anyaingu kukiila uaiilya nuakwe.
20 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.
Matungo nai akija nanso, akamulumbiilya Itunda, hangi akamutambuila, “Wihengaa, munyandugu, akoli magana a nzogu anga ahuiie mukati a Ayahudi. Nienso ihi akete nsula kuamba ilagiilyo.
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
Atambuiwe kutula u ewe, kina ukumanyisa i Ayahudi ni ikiie mu anyaingu kulekanuka nu Musa, ni kina ukuatambuila aleke kuatwala i kidamu i ana ao, hangi aleke kutyata i ntendo nia kali.
22 What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
Kutakiwe kitume ntuni? Kutile u mintumbo aki giilya kina u ewe wapikiila.
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
Iti itume iko usese ni ku ukutambuila itungili; kukete antu anne naza aikile ndagu.
24 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.
Ahole i antu awa hangi wielye mukola palung'wi ni enso, nu kualipilya u ugulwa nu ao, iti ahume kuzula i matwe ao. Uugwa kila ung'wi walije kilinga kina imakani nai atambuiwe kutula u ewe ingi a uteele. Akimanyisa kina u ewe ga utyatile ilagiilyo.
25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
Kuiti ku makani a anyaingu naza atulaa ahuiili, ai kukilisilye nu kupumya i malagiilyo kina atakiwe kihuja ni intu naza ipumigwe isongelyo ku a dudu, ni sakami, kupumiila ni iko naza kigogilwe, hangi ihuje nu usambo.”
26 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.
Uugwa, uPaulo aka ahola i agoha, nu luhiku nula kabiili, akielya u mukola palung'wi ni enso, akingila mu Itekeelo, kutanantya i tungo nila mahiku na kielya, kupikiila isongelyo lipumigwe ku nsoko a kila ung'wi ao.
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
Mahiku nanso ni mupungati nai ahumbela ku ulinkiila, ze yakilaa i Ayahudi kupuma ku Asia akamihenga uPaulo Mitekeelo, ni anyianza akataka, hangi akamugoela u mukono.
28 crying out, “Men of Israel, 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!”
Ai atulaa akuzogolya, “Antu a Israeli, kuaiilyi, Uyu ingi yuyo muntu nuenda amanyisa i antu kila nkika i makani niiza nsuta ni antu, ilagiilyo, ni kianza iki. Wa aleta ga ni Ayunani mu Itekeelo nu kuika kibudu kianza apa ni pelu.
29 For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
Ku nsoko u ng'wandyo ai atulaa amihenga uTrofimo Muefeso aze ukoli palung'wi nu ng'wenso mu kisali, ni enso ai asigiie kina uPaulo ai wamuletaa mitekeelo.
30 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.
Kisali kihi ai katulaa nu ukunguali, ni antu akamanka palung'wi nu kumuamba uPaulo. Akamupumya kunzi i Itekeelo, ni milango nkua ikalugailwa.
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Nai ikatula akugema kumubulaga, inkani ikamupikila u mukulu nua anya mbita nia usunji kina i Yerusalemu ihi ai atulaa izula minyomo.
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
Itungo lilo aka ahola i asunja nu mukomoli akalimankiila iumbi. Matungo i antu nai akihenga u mukulu nua idale nila asunja, akaleka kumukua uPaulo.
33 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.
Uugwa u mukulu nu idale ai umuhumbee nu kumuamba uPaulo, hangi akalagiilya watungwe minyororo ibiili. Akamukolya nuanso ingi nyenyu hangi ukituma ki ntuni.
34 Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
Ang'wi ao a antu mi umbi ai atulaa akubunuka i kintu iki ni auya kingiiza. Ku nsoko u mukomoli shanga ai uhumile kuatambuila kihi ku nsoko a iyogo ilo, akalagiilya uPaulo waletwe mukati itando.
35 When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
Uugwa nai wakapika mu munankiilo, akaholwa nu asikali ku nsoko a minyomo nu i umbi.
36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
Ndogoelyo i umbi nila antu ai limutyatiie nu kulongoleka kukua iyogo, “Muheji uyu.”
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
uPaulo nai watula ukuletwa mukati itando, ai umutambuie u mukulu nu idale, “Nihumilene nukutambuile kintu?” Umukulu uyu nu idale akaligitya, “itii ukutambula Kiyunani?
38 Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
Itii, u ewe shanga wi uyo u Mumisri naiza u ng'wandyo ai utongee u upiluki hangi ai uhoile i a kilemu magana a nzogu anne mu wii?”
39 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.”
uPaulo akaligitya, “Unene ni Muyahudi, kupuma kisali ka Tarso a ku Kilikia. Unene ni munya ihi nua kisali ni kikumukile. Numulompile, mundeke nitambulye ni antu.”
40 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,
Itungo u mukomoli nai umulekee, uPaulo akimika pa munankiilo hangi akapumya kilingasiilyo ku antu ku mukono nuakwe, Itungo nai ikoli ihitwii nangalu, akitambuila ni enso ku Kiebrania. Akaligitya,
