Masengo 20
1 Pawamasile utinda ku Efeso, che Paolo ŵaaŵilasile ŵakwakuya ŵala pamo, ni kwalimbisya ntima. Ni ŵaalanjile ni kutanda ulendo wa ku Makedonia.
After the uproar ceased, Paul, having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, bidding them adieu, departed to go into Macedonia.
2 Ni ŵapite mu ilambo ila ni kwalimbisya ntima kwa maloŵe gamajinji ŵakukulupilila ŵa misi jo. Nipele ŵaiche ku Ugiliki,
And having come through those regions, and exhorted them with much speaking, he came 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.
and having remained three months, a plot rising against him from the Jews, when about to sail for Syria, he was of a mind to 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.
And Sopater the (son) of Pyrrhus, the Berean, and Aristarchus, the Thessalonian, and Secundus; and Gaius the Derbean, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus the Asiatics, accompanied him;
5 Ŵandu wo ŵatulongolele ni ŵaliji nkutulolela ku Tuloa kula.
and these having gone in advance, awaited us in 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.
and we, after the days of unleaven bread, sailed from Philippi, and came to them into Troas within five days; where we spent 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.
And on the first of the Sabbaths we being assembled to break bread, Paul spoke to them, being about to depart the following day, and continued his discourse till midnight:
8 Mu chuumba cha mwinani kutwasongangene ko kwaliji ni ibatali yejinji ichikolelaga.
and there were many lamps in the upper room, where we were assembled.
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.
Paul speaking more prolixly, there was a certain young man, Eutychus by name, sitting in the window, being borne down with deep sleep, completely relaxed by sleep, fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.
10 Nambo che Paolo ŵatulwiche paasi ni ŵatindiŵele ni kwakumbata ni kuti, “Kasinlilanga pakuŵa ali jwanjumi.”
And Paul, having come down, fell on him, and taking him in his arms said, Fear not; for his soul is in him:
11 Ni ŵakwesile sooni ku chuumba cha mwinani kula ŵagaŵenye nkate ni ŵalile. Ŵajendelechele kulalichila mpaka kundaŵi pe nipele ŵatyosile.
and having come up, and broken the bread, and eaten, and talking a long time, until daydawn, thus he departed.
12 Ŵandu ŵala ŵanjigele nchanda jula kumangwao ali jwanjumi, nipele mitima jao jatulele.
And they led up the boy alive, and were comforted exceedingly.
13 Uweji twalongolele ku Aso ni ngalaŵa jekulungwa, kweleko twatiji twajigale che Paolo. Yeleyo ni yatite pakulajisya nnigwa wao kuti aiche kweleko wapasi.
But we, having come in advance to the ship, embarked for Assos, thence being about to take up Paul, for he had so commanded us, himself being about to go on foot.
14 Nipele che Paolo ŵatusimene ku Aso kula, ni twakwesile mu ngalaŵa ni twajawile ku Mitulene.
And when he met us at Assos, taking him up, we came 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 thence having sailed away on the following day we arrived opposite Chios; and on the following day we touched at Samos, and on the next day we came into 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 decided to sail by Ephesus, in order that it might not be necessary for him to spend the time in Asia: for he was hastening, if it might be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 Che Paolo paŵaliji ku Mileto ŵalajisye utenga wa kwaŵilanga achachekulu ŵa mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ja ku Efeso kuti achingangane.
And having sent from Miletus into Ephesus, he called for the elders of 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 came to him, he said to them, You know, that from the first day from which I came unto Asia, how I was with you all the time,
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 tears, and temptations, which came upon me through the plots of the Jews:
20 Nkumanyililanga kuti uneji nganinyogopa namose kanandi kunlalichila pelanga ni mmajumba genu ni kunjiganya chakunkamuchisya chachili chose.
how I omitted nothing of those things which are profitable, that I should not declare unto you and teach you publicly and from house to house,
21 Naajamwiche kwakalipa nnope Ŵayahudi ni Ŵagiliki aleche sambi syao ni kwaujilila Akunnungu ni kunkulupilila Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu.
witnessing both to Jews, and to Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 Sano, uneji ngumpilikanichisya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ngwaula ku Yelusalemu pangaimanyilila chachili chose chachichiisimane kweleko.
And now, behold, I go to Jerusalem bound in spirit, not knowing the things which shall come upon me in it:
23 Nguchimanyilila chindu chimo kuti mmusi wauliwose Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akusalila kuti kutaŵikwa ni masausyo gakunindilila.
except that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesses to me, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.
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 consider my life worthy of no consideration to myself, so as to finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear testimony 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 all, among whom I came preaching the gospel of the kingdom, shall see my face no more.
26 Nipele lelo jino ngunsalila kuti yakopochelaga jumo jwenu kujonasika, uneji nganingola magambo.
Therefore I witness to you this clay, that I am pure from the blood of all men;
27 Pakuŵa nganileka kunlalichila yanayose yakusaka kuipanganya Akunnungu.
for I did not shrink to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Nlilolechesye mwachinsyene, mwagose ŵandu wose ŵampele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kuti mwalele ŵanyawo. Nkaachunje ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵapatile kwa miasi ja Mwanagwe.
Take heed to yourselves, and all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost has placed you shepherds, to shepherdise the church of God, which He bought with His own blood.
29 Nguimanyilila uchenene kuti pingutyoka masogo gakalipa chiganjimuchile ni ngagakola chanasa kwa mpingo wo.
I know, that after my departure grievous wolves will rise up against you, not sparing the flock;
30 Ni sooni mwa mwachinsyene chakopochele ŵandu ŵachaŵechete ya unami kwasoyasya ŵakulijiganya ni kwatenda ŵaakuye ŵanyawo.
and men from you yourselves will rise up, speaking perverse things, in order to lead away disciples after them.
31 Nipele, nlilolechesye nchikumbuchilaga kuti kwa moŵa ga yaka itatu chilo ni muusi, nganileka kunjamuka kila jumo mwa ŵanyamwe kwa misosi.
Watch therefore, remembering, that three years night and day I ceased not admonishing you with tears.
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 the word of His grace, who is able to edify you, and give you an inheritance among all the sanctified.
33 Uneji nganisaka madini ga feza pane sahabu pane iwalo ya mundu jwalijose.
I have not sought the silver, or gold, or raiment of any one;
34 Mwachinsyene nkumanyililanga kuti napanganisye masengo ni makono gangu nansyene kuti mbate yaikunsoŵa ni yaikwasoŵa achinjangu nombewo.
you yourselves know, that these hands did minister to my necessities, and those along with me.
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 shown you all things, that it so behooveth you laboring to assist the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that 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 having said these things, putting down his knees along with them all, he prayed.
37 Wose ŵaliji nkulilanga ni ŵaalanjile che Paolo kwakwakumbata ni kwalosya unonyelo wekulungwa.
And the weeping of all was great, and falling on the neck of Paul, they continued to kiss him copiously,
38 Chindu chichatesile asupuche nnope chaliji liloŵe liŵaŵechete che Paolo paŵatite, “Ngamuuwona sooni.” Nipele ŵaapechesye mpaka mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa.
being especially grieved at the word which he had spoken, that they were about to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
