9. Now this one had four maiden daughters who prophesied.
10. And as we were staying many days, a certain prophet named Ḥag̅aḇ came down from Yehuḏah,
11. and having come to us, he took the girdle of Sha’ul, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Set-apart Spirit, ‘Thus shall the Yehuḏim at Yerushalayim bind the man who owns this girdle, and deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.’ ”
12. And when we heard this, both we and those from that place begged him not to go up to Yerushalayim.
13. And Sha’ul answered, “What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Yerushalayim for the Name of the Master יהושע.”
14. And as he could not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “Let the desire of the Master be done.”
15. And after those days, having made ready, we went up to Yerushalayim.
16. And also some of the taught ones from Caesarea went with us and brought with them one, Mnason of Cyprus, an early taught one, with whom we were to lodge.
17. And when we had arrived in Yerushalayim, the brothers received us gladly.
18. And on the following day Sha’ul went in with us to Ya‛aqoḇ, and all the elders came.
