Exegesis
The phrase dia tou pneumatos {διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος | diá tou pneúmatos} attributes the speech to divine agency, and the negative infinitive mē epibainein {μὴ ἐπιβαίνειν | mḕ epibaínein} states the prohibition, with eis Hierosolyma {εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα | eis Hierosólyma} indicating the destination. These structures are rendered in English as coordinated sentences preserving aspectual and modal nuances.
In context — Acts 21:4
After locating the disciples, we remained there seven days. Through the Spirit they kept telling Paul not to go up to Jerusalem .
