Masengo 20
1 Pawamasile utinda ku Efeso, che Paolo ŵaaŵilasile ŵakwakuya ŵala pamo, ni kwalimbisya ntima. Ni ŵaalanjile ni kutanda ulendo wa ku Makedonia.
Then, after the tumult ceased, Paul, calling the disciples to himself and exhorting them, said farewell. And he set out, so that he might go into Macedonia.
2 Ni ŵapite mu ilambo ila ni kwalimbisya ntima kwa maloŵe gamajinji ŵakukulupilila ŵa misi jo. Nipele ŵaiche ku Ugiliki,
And when he had walked through those areas and had exhorted them with many sermons, he went into Greece.
3 kweleko ŵatemi miesi jitatu. Paŵaliji nkuliŵika chile kwa ulendo wa ku Silia kwa litala lya mmeesi, ŵaimanyi kuti Ŵayahudi ŵatamilile ntemela wangalimate, nipele ŵaamwiwe kuuja achipitilaga ku Makedonia.
After he had spent three months there, treacheries were planned against him by the Jews, just as he was about to sail into Syria. And having been advised of this, he return through Macedonia.
4 Che Sopatula mwana ju che Piho mundu jwa ku Belea ŵalongene ni che Paolo pamo ni che Alisitako ni che Sekundo jwa ku Sesalonike, che Gayo jwa ku Debe ni che Timoseo, che Tukiko ni che Tilofimo jwa ku Asia.
Now those accompanying him were Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus from Beroea; and also the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and also Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia.
5 Ŵandu wo ŵatulongolele ni ŵaliji nkutulolela ku Tuloa kula.
These, after they had gone ahead, waited for us at Troas.
6 Pagapite moŵa ga mikate jangatajikwa amila, uweji twakwesile ngalaŵa kutyochela ku Filipi ni pagamasile moŵa nsano, twaiche ku Tuloa kula. Ni kweleko twatemi chijuma chimo.
Yet truly, we sailed from Philippi, after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we went to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
7 Lyuŵa lyaandanda lya chijuma twachingangene kuti tulye pamo. Ni che Paolo pakuŵa ŵasachile kuti atyoche malaŵi jakwe, ŵakungulwiche ni ŵandu, ni sooni ŵajendelechele kukunguluka ni ŵandu wo mpaka chilo nnope.
Then, on the first Sabbath, when we had assembled together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to set out the next day. But he prolonged his sermon into the middle of the night.
8 Mu chuumba cha mwinani kutwasongangene ko kwaliji ni ibatali yejinji ichikolelaga.
Now there were plenty of lamps in the upper room, where we were gathered.
9 Ni jwapali nchanda liina lyakwe che Eutiko juŵatemi pedilisha. Che Paolo paŵajendelechelaga kukunguluka, che Eutiko ŵatandite kugwesela kanandikanandi. Kumbesi ŵagonile ni ŵagwile paasi kutyochela chuumba chaatatu cha mwinani. Ni paŵannyakwile ŵaliji ŵamale kuwa.
And a certain adolescent named Eutychus, sitting on the window sill, was being weighed down by a heavy drowsiness (for Paul was preaching at length). Then, as he went to sleep, he fell from the third floor room downward. And when he was lifted up, he was dead.
10 Nambo che Paolo ŵatulwiche paasi ni ŵatindiŵele ni kwakumbata ni kuti, “Kasinlilanga pakuŵa ali jwanjumi.”
When Paul had gone down to him, he laid himself over him and, embracing him, said, “Do not worry, for his soul is still within him.”
11 Ni ŵakwesile sooni ku chuumba cha mwinani kula ŵagaŵenye nkate ni ŵalile. Ŵajendelechele kulalichila mpaka kundaŵi pe nipele ŵatyosile.
And so, going up, and breaking bread, and eating, and having spoken well on until daylight, he then set out.
12 Ŵandu ŵala ŵanjigele nchanda jula kumangwao ali jwanjumi, nipele mitima jao jatulele.
Now they had brought the boy in alive, and they were more than a little consoled.
13 Uweji twalongolele ku Aso ni ngalaŵa jekulungwa, kweleko twatiji twajigale che Paolo. Yeleyo ni yatite pakulajisya nnigwa wao kuti aiche kweleko wapasi.
Then we climbed aboard the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take in Paul. For so he himself had decided, since he was making the journey by land.
14 Nipele che Paolo ŵatusimene ku Aso kula, ni twakwesile mu ngalaŵa ni twajawile ku Mitulene.
And when he had joined us at Assos, we took him in, and we went to Mitylene.
15 Kutyochela kweleko twajendelechele ni ulendo ni malaŵi jakwe twaiche ku Kio. Pa lyuŵa lyaaŵili twapelengenye ku Samo ni malaŵi jakwe twaiche ku Mileto.
And sailing from there, on the following day, we arrived opposite Chios. And next we landed at Samos. And on the following day we went to Miletus.
16 Pakuŵa che Paolo ŵasachile kwendelechela ni ulendo wao ni ngalaŵa pangasepuchila ku Efeso kuti akasakaŵa nnope ku Asia ko. Ŵachelengaga nningwa wao kuti yakombolekaga aiche ku Yelusalemu kwaligongo lya lyuŵa lya Pentekosite.
For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not be delayed in Asia. For he was hurrying so that, if it were possible for him, he might observe the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.
17 Che Paolo paŵaliji ku Mileto ŵalajisye utenga wa kwaŵilanga achachekulu ŵa mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ja ku Efeso kuti achingangane.
Then, sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called those greater by birth in the church.
18 Achachekulu ŵala paŵaiche, che Paolo ŵaasalile, “Mwachinsyene nkumanyililanga indite pakutama ni ŵanyamwe moŵa gose chitandile lyuŵa lyaandanda lila panaiche pachilambo cha ku Asia.
And when they had come to him and were together, he said to them: “You know that from the first day when I entered into Asia, I have been with you, for the entire time, in this manner:
19 Nkumanyililanga indite pakwatumichila Ambuje nkulitulusya kose ni misosi ni masausyo gagambatile kwaligongo lya malindi ga Ŵayahudi ŵampepe.
serving the Lord, with all humility and despite the tears and trials which befell me from the treacheries of the Jews,
20 Nkumanyililanga kuti uneji nganinyogopa namose kanandi kunlalichila pelanga ni mmajumba genu ni kunjiganya chakunkamuchisya chachili chose.
how I held back nothing that was of value, how well I have preached to you, and that I have taught you publicly and throughout the houses,
21 Naajamwiche kwakalipa nnope Ŵayahudi ni Ŵagiliki aleche sambi syao ni kwaujilila Akunnungu ni kunkulupilila Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu.
testifying both to Jews and to Gentiles about repentance in God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 Sano, uneji ngumpilikanichisya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ngwaula ku Yelusalemu pangaimanyilila chachili chose chachichiisimane kweleko.
And now, behold, being obliged in spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,
23 Nguchimanyilila chindu chimo kuti mmusi wauliwose Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akusalila kuti kutaŵikwa ni masausyo gakunindilila.
except that the Holy Spirit, throughout every city, has cautioned me, saying that chains and tribulations await me at Jerusalem.
24 Nambo nganguuŵalanjila umi wangu kuti wana chindu nnope kwa uneji nningwa wangu malichisye unduna wangu ni masengo gaŵambele Ambuje Che Yesu nagapanganye, yaani naalalichile ŵandu Ngani Jambone ja upile wa Akunnungu.
But I dread none of these things. Neither do I consider my life to be more precious because it is my own, provided that in some way I may complete my own course and that of the ministry of the Word, which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God.
25 “Mbiite mwa ŵanyamwe wose njilalichilaga Umwenye wa Akunnungu. Nambo sambano ngumanyilila kuti ngapagwa jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe juchachimona une sooni.
And now, behold, I know that you will no longer see my face, all of you among whom I have traveled, preaching the kingdom of God.
26 Nipele lelo jino ngunsalila kuti yakopochelaga jumo jwenu kujonasika, uneji nganingola magambo.
For this reason, I call you as witnesses on this very day: that I am clean from the blood of all.
27 Pakuŵa nganileka kunlalichila yanayose yakusaka kuipanganya Akunnungu.
For I have not turned aside in the least from announcing every counsel of God to you.
28 Nlilolechesye mwachinsyene, mwagose ŵandu wose ŵampele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kuti mwalele ŵanyawo. Nkaachunje ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵapatile kwa miasi ja Mwanagwe.
Take care of yourselves and of the entire flock, over which the Holy Spirit has stationed you as Bishops to rule the Church of God, which he has purchased by his own blood.
29 Nguimanyilila uchenene kuti pingutyoka masogo gakalipa chiganjimuchile ni ngagakola chanasa kwa mpingo wo.
I know that after my departure ravenous wolves will enter among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Ni sooni mwa mwachinsyene chakopochele ŵandu ŵachaŵechete ya unami kwasoyasya ŵakulijiganya ni kwatenda ŵaakuye ŵanyawo.
And from among yourselves, men will rise up, speaking perverse things in order to entice disciples after them.
31 Nipele, nlilolechesye nchikumbuchilaga kuti kwa moŵa ga yaka itatu chilo ni muusi, nganileka kunjamuka kila jumo mwa ŵanyamwe kwa misosi.
Because of this, be vigilant, retaining in memory that throughout three years I did not cease, night and day, with tears, to admonish each and every one of you.
32 “Nipele sambano, ŵanyamwe ngummikanga mmakono ga Akunnungu ni pa utenga wa upile wao, waukukombola kunkolosya ni kumpa ntuuka pamo ni ŵandu ŵao ŵaŵaswejeswe.
And now, I commend you to God and to the Word of his grace. He has the power to build up, and to give an inheritance to all who are sanctified.
33 Uneji nganisaka madini ga feza pane sahabu pane iwalo ya mundu jwalijose.
I have coveted neither silver and gold, nor apparel,
34 Mwachinsyene nkumanyililanga kuti napanganisye masengo ni makono gangu nansyene kuti mbate yaikunsoŵa ni yaikwasoŵa achinjangu nombewo.
as you yourselves know. For that which was needed by me and by those who are with me, these hands have provided.
35 Moŵa gose mbanganyisye masengo nti itagu kukwenu, kunnosya kuti tukusachilwa kwakamuchisya ŵakulaga, tuchikumbuchilaga maloŵe ga Ambuje Che Yesu nsyene gagakuti, ‘Mbaya kutyosya kupunda kupochela.’”
I have revealed all things to you, because by laboring in this way, it is necessary to support the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
36 Che Paolo paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵatindiŵele pamo ni ŵanyawo wose ni kwapopela Akunnungu.
And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with all of them.
37 Wose ŵaliji nkulilanga ni ŵaalanjile che Paolo kwakwakumbata ni kwalosya unonyelo wekulungwa.
Then a great weeping occurred among them all. And, falling upon the neck of Paul, they kissed him,
38 Chindu chichatesile asupuche nnope chaliji liloŵe liŵaŵechete che Paolo paŵatite, “Ngamuuwona sooni.” Nipele ŵaapechesye mpaka mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa.
being grieved most of all over the word which he had said, that they would never see his face again. And they brought him to the ship.
