Machitidwe a Atumwi 20
1 Litatha phokoso, Paulo anayitanitsa ophunzira ndipo atawalimbikitsa anawatsanzika ndipo ananyamuka kupita ku Makedoniya.
THEN after the tumult was quieted, Paul called to him the disciples, and taking his leave, departed to go into Macedonia.
2 Iye anayendera madera a kumeneko, nalimbitsa mtima anthu, ndipo pomaliza pake anapita ku Grisi.
And passing through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he went into Greece.
3 Kumeneko anakhala miyezi itatu. Popeza kuti Ayuda anakonza zomuchita chiwembu pamene amati azinyamuka kupita ku Siriya pa sitima ya pamadzi, iye anaganiza zobwereranso kudzera ku Makedoniya.
And after three months stay, as the Jews were lying in wait for him, when he was just embarking for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
4 Iye anapita pamodzi ndi Sopatro mwana wa Puro wa ku Bereya, Aristariko ndi Sekundo a ku Tesalonika, Gayo wa ku Derbe ndi Timoteyo, ndipo a ku Asiya anali Tukiko ndi Trofimo.
And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus, Asiatics.
5 Anthu amenewa anatsogola ndipo anakatidikira ku Trowa.
These going before tarried for us at Troas.
6 Koma ife tinayenda pa sitima ya pamadzi kuchokera ku Filipi chitatha Chikondwerero cha Buledi wopanda Yisiti. Patapita masiku asanu tinakumana nawo enawo ku Trowa, ndipo tinakhala kumeneko masiku asanu ndi awiri.
And we sailed from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas after five days; where we stayed seven days.
7 Pa tsiku loyamba la Sabata, tinasonkhana kuti tidye mgonero. Paulo analalikira kwa anthu chifukwa anaganiza zoti achoke tsiku linalo, ndipo analalika mpaka pakati pa usiku.
And on the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled to break bread, Paul preached unto them (ready to depart on the morrow), and extended his discourse until midnight.
8 Munali nyale zambiri mʼchipinda chammwamba mʼmene tinasonkhanamo.
Now there were many lamps in the upper room, where they were assembled.
9 Pa chipinda chachitatu chammwamba cha nyumbayo, pa zenera, panakhala mnyamata wina dzina lake Utiko, amene ankasinza pomwe Paulo amayankhulabe. Atagona tulo, iye anagwa pansi kuchokera pa chipinda chammwamba ndipo anamutola atafa.
And a certain youth named Eutytchus, who sat in the window, fell into a profound sleep: as Paul discoursed much longer than usual, quite overpowered with sleep, he fell down from a third story, and was taken up dead.
10 Paulo anatsika, nadziponya pa mnyamatayo, namukumbatira. Paulo anati, “Musadandaule, ali moyo!”
But Paul came down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Trouble not yourselves, for his life is yet in him.
11 Kenaka Paulo anakweranso, mʼchipinda muja nanyema buledi nadya. Atayankhula mpaka kucha, anachoka.
And when he had gone up, and broken bread, and eaten, and conversed a long time, even to the break of day, he then departed.
12 Anthu anatenga mnyamatayo kupita kwawo ali moyo ndipo anatonthozedwa mtima kwambiri.
And they brought the lad alive, and were comforted exceedingly.
13 Ife tinatsogola kukakwera sitima ya pa madzi kupita ku Aso, kumene tinayembekeza kukatenga Paulo. Iye anakonza motero chifukwa amayenda wapansi.
Then we going before to the ship, sailed for Assos, intending there to take in Paul: for so he had ordered, meaning himself to walk thither.
14 Pamene anakumana nafe ku Aso tinamutenga ndipo tinapita ku Mitilene.
And when he met us at Assos, we took him up, and came to Mytelene.
15 Mmawa mwake tinachoka kumeneko pa sitima ya pamadzi ndipo tinafika pafupi ndi Kiyo. Tsiku linalo tinawolokera ku Samo, ndipo tsiku linanso tinafika ku Mileto.
And sailing from thence, on the following day we advanced over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos, and staying at Trogyllium, the day following we came to Miletus.
16 Paulo anali atatsimikiza kuti alambalale Efeso kuopa kutaya nthawi ku Asiya, pakuti ankafulumira kuti akafike ku Yerusalemu kuti ngati nʼkotheka kuti tsiku la Pentekosite akakhale ali ku Yerusalemu.
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened on, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 Paulo ali ku Mileto, anatumiza mawu ku Efeso kuyitana akulu ampingo.
So he sent to Ephesus from Miletus, and called the presbyters of the church to attend him.
18 Iwo atafika, Paulo anati, “Inu mukudziwa mmene ndinakhalira nanu nthawi yonse imene ndinali nanu kuyambira tsiku loyamba limene ndinafika ku Asiya.
And when they were come unto him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the very first day in which I entered into Asia, how I have been among you at every season,
19 Ndinatumikira Ambuye modzichepetsa kwambiri ndiponso ndi misozi, ngakhale ndinayesedwa kwambiri ndi ziwembu za Ayuda.
serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, which have befallen me through the lying in wait of the Jews:
20 Inu mukudziwa kuti, sindinakubisireni kanthu kalikonse kopindulitsa koma ndinakuphunzitsani poyera komanso nyumba ndi nyumba.
and that I have suppressed nothing which could conduce to your profiting; not desisting from preaching to you, and teaching you in public, and from house to house,
21 Ine ndinawuza Ayuda komanso Agriki kuti ayenera kutembenukira kwa Mulungu polapa ndikuti akhulupirire Ambuye athu Yesu.
repeatedly urging both on Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 “Ndipo tsopano, mokakamizidwa ndi Mzimu, ndikupita ku Yerusalemu, sindikudziwa zimene zikandichitikire kumeneko.”
And now behold I am going, bound by the Spirit, unto Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall there befal me:
23 Chimene ndikudziwa ndi chakuti Mzimu Woyera wandichenjeza mu mzinda uliwonse kuti ndende ndi mavuto zikundidikira.
only this, that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and tribulation await thee.
24 Koma sindilabadira konse za moyo wanga ngati kuti ndi wa mtengo wapatali kwa ine, malingana ndikatsirize ntchito yanga ndi utumiki umene Ambuye Yesu anandipatsa, ntchito yochitira umboni Uthenga Wabwino wachisomo cha Mulungu.
Yet I make no account of any suffering, nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully the Gospel of the grace of God.
25 “Tsopano ndikudziwa kuti inu nonse amene ndinakuyenderani ndi kumakulalikirani ufumu wa Mulungu simudzaonanso nkhope yanga.
And now behold, I know that ye shall see my face no more, even ye all, among whom I have gone in and out preaching the kingdom of God.
26 Chifukwa chake, ine ndikukuwuzani lero kuti ndilibe mlandu ndi munthu aliyense.
Wherefore I appeal to you this day as witnesses that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 Pakuti sindinakubisireni pokulalikirani chifuniro chonse cha Mulungu.
For I have concealed nothing, so as not repeatedly to declare to you the whole counsel of God.
28 Mudziyangʼanire nokha ndiponso muyangʼanire gulu lankhosa limene Mzimu Woyera anakuyikani kuti mukhale oyangʼanira ake. Khalani abusa a mpingo wa Mulungu umene Iye anawugula ndi magazi ake.
Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed as shepherds the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.
29 Ndikudziwa kuti ndikachoka ine, padzafika mimbulu yolusa pakati panu imene sidzalekerera gulu lankhosalo.
For this I know, that after my departure there will come among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock:
30 Ngakhale pakati pa inu nokha padzapezeka anthu oyankhula zonama ndi cholinga chofuna kukhala ndi ophunzira kuti awatsate.
Yea, from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverting doctrines, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Tsono inu, samalani! Kumbukirani kuti kwa zaka zitatu, usana ndi usiku ndiponso ndi misozi sindinaleke kuchenjeza aliyense wa inu.
Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, by night and by day, I have never ceased with tears to admonish every individual.
32 “Tsopano ine ndikukuperekani kwa Mulungu ndiponso kwa mawu a chisomo chake, amene ali ndi mphamvu zokulitsa inu ndi kukupatsani chuma pakati pa onse amene anayeretsedwa.
And now, brethren, I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to finish the superstructure, and to give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
33 Ine sindinasirire siliva kapena golide kapena zovala za munthu aliyense.
The silver, or gold, or apparel of no man have I coveted:
34 Inu nomwe mukudziwa kuti manja angawa ananditumikira kuti tipeze zimene ine ndi anzanga tinkazifuna.
but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for those who were with me.
35 Pa zonse zimene ndinachita, ndinakuonetsani kuti pogwira ntchito molimbika motere tiyenera kuthandiza ofowoka, pokumbukira mawu a Ambuye Yesu akuti, ‘Kupereka kumadalitsa kuposa kulandira.’”
In all things I have set you the example, that so labouring hard ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
36 Atanena zimenezi, anagwada pansi pamodzi ndi ena onse, napemphera.
And when he had spoken these things, he fell on his knees, and prayed with them all.
37 Onse analira pamene amamukumbatira ndi kupsompsona.
And all of them shed floods of tears, and fell upon Paul’s neck, and kissed him again and again,
38 Chimene chinamvetsa chisoni kwambiri ndi mawu ake akuti sadzaonanso nkhope yake. Kenaka iwo anamuperekeza ku sitima yapamadzi.
most peculiarly afflicted at that word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more: and they accompanied him unto the ship.
