< Acts 20 >

1 When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples. And after encouraging them, he said goodbye to them and left for Macedonia.
Wejile injogele yawao, Paulo nabhabhilikila abheigisibhwa no kubhatamo omwoyo, okumala nabhalaga nasokao nagenda Makedonia.
2 After traveling through that area and speaking many words of encouragement, he arrived in Greece,
Ejile alabha mu majimbho ago na aliga nabhatamo omwoyo abhekilisha, nengila mu Bhuyunani.
3 where he stayed three months. And when the Jews formed a plot against him as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia.
Mwenene Ejile abha alya mwanya gwa mesi gasatu, ntungwa bhibhi ni jumbhakwa jitasikene nage amwi nabhayaudi anu aliga ali ayei no kulabha mu njila ya munyanja okuja Shamu, kwibhyo alamue okusubha no kulabha Makedonia.
4 Paul was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.
Bhanu bhagwatene nage kukinga Asia bhaliga bha Sopartro, Omwana wa Pirho okusoka Berea; Aristariko na Sekundo, bhona mbhasoka mu bekilisha bha Bhathesalonike; Gayo owa Derbe; Timotheo; Tikiko na Trofimo okusoka Asia.
5 These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.
Nawe abhanu bhanu bhatangatile na bhaliga nibhachilindilila eyo Troa.
6 And after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, we sailed from Philippi, and five days later we rejoined them in Troas, where we stayed seven days.
Munjila ya munyanja okusoka Filipi Jejile jawa jinaku je mikate jinu chitalimo chifwibhya na mu naku etanu chibhakingila eyo Troa. Chenyanjile eyo kwa naku musanju.
7 On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight.
ku lunaku Lwo kwambha olwo bhwoyo, Anu chaliga chikofyanyishe amwi koleleki ogubhutula omukate, Mbe Paulo aikile na bekilisha. Aliga nenda okwimuka mwejo yendeko, kwibhyo agendelee okwaika kukinga bwile bukulu saa munana ja mungeta.
8 Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.
Jaliga jilio jitala nyafu mu chumbha cha ingulu Anu chaliga chikofyanyishe amwi.
9 And a certain young man named Eutychus, seated in the window, was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell from the third story and was picked up dead.
Musigaji umwi aliga enyanjile kwidilisha lisina lyae Utiko, unu akanyiwe jintilo nyafu. Anu Paulo aliga nasimula kwo mwanya mulela, omusigaji unu, aliga amamile, nailingita ansi okusoka kwigorofa lya kasatu na nakugwa afuye.
10 But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”
Mbe nawe Paulo ekile ansi, negolola omwene ingulu yae namufumbhatila. Okumala naika, “mwasiga (kulengala, ) kulwo kubha Ni muanga.”
11 Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.
Okumala nalinya lindi mwigorofa nagubhutula omukate, nalya. Ejile amala okwaika nabho kwa mwanya mulela kukinga mu machelelesha, nasokao.
12 And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.
Mbhamuleta omusigaji ulya Ali muanga mbhasilisibhwa muno.
13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take Paul aboard. He had arranged this because he was going there on foot.
Eswe abhene chamutangatie Paulo mu meli na nichija Also, Anu eswe chaliga chilamue okumugega Paulo eyo. Chinu Nicho mwenene aliga nenda okukola, ku insonga aliga alamue okugenda no kulabha kuchumu.
14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.
Ejile achikingila eyo Aso, nchimuika mu meli nichigenda Mitilene.
15 Sailing on from there, we arrived the next day opposite Chios. The day after that we arrived at Samos, and on the following day we came to Miletus.
Okumala eswe nichiyema nichisokayo eyo na kulunaku lwa kabhili nchikinga KU lubhala lwa kabhili lwa lisinga elya Kio. Olunaku lunu lwalubhile, nichikinga kwisinga lwa Samo, na bhuchee bwendeko nchikinga mu musi gwa Mileto.
16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, because he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.
Ku nsonga Paulo aliga alamue okulibhata no kulabha Efeso, koleleki asinge kumala mwanya gwona gwona mu Asia; kulwo kubha aliga ali no bhagu bho kwilabha Yerusalemu mu lunaku lukulu olwa Ipentekoste, alabha jakatulikene okukola kutyo.
17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.
Okusoka Mileto natuma abhanu kukinga Efeso no kubhabhilikila abhakaluka bha ikanisa.
18 When they came to him, he said, “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.
Bhejile bhakinga ewae, nabhabhwila, emwe abhene mumenyele okusoka KU lunaku Lwo kwambha Nejile nataja Anu Asia, lwa kutyo naliga nili kwimwe mwanya gwona.
19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, especially in the trials that came upon me through the plots of the Jews.
Nimukolee Latabugenyi mu bhololo bhona na kwa masiga, na Jinyako jinu jambhene anye mu bhwilige -lige bhwa Bhayaudi.
20 I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,
Mumenyele lwa kutyo niteganyishe kulasha chinu chona chona chinu chaliga cha bhusi-bhusi, na lwa kutyo anye nabheigisishe abhwel-bhwelu no kuja bhuli nyumbha.
21 testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mumenyele lwa kutyo anye nagendelee okubhekengya abhayaudi na abhayunani ingulu yo kuta KU Nyamuanga ne likilisha mu Latabugenyi weswe Yesu.
22 And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
Mbe, woli Lola, anye, nikabha nimwolobhela Mwoyo Mwelu okuja Yerusalemu, nitagugamenya ganu agajokumbhona eyo,
23 I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.
Mbhe nawe kulwo kubha Mwoyo Mwelu kambhabhalila anye mu bhuli musi no kwaika ati jimbhoyelo na Jinyako nibhyo bhintendesishe.
24 But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
Mbe nawe anye nitakwinganilisha ati obhulame bhani Ni munjila yona yona kwanye Ni kwe chibhalo koleleki nikumishe olugendo lwani no bhusakisi bhunu nalamie okusoka ku Latabugenyi Yesu, okugubhambhalila omusango gwo bhwana mu chigongo cha Nyamuanga.
25 Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.
Na woli, Lola, enimenya ati bhona, mu bhalya bhanu nabhasimulie obhukama, mutakundola lindi bhusu bhani.
26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
Kulwejo lelo inu enibhabhambhalila ati ntana ntabhala ku manyiga go munu wona wona.
27 For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole will of God.
Kulwo kubha niteganyishe okubhasimulila okwenda kwa Nyamuanga.
28 Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood.
Kulwejo mubhe bhekengi ingulu yemwe, abhene ingulu ya liijo lyona linu Mwoyo Mwelu abhateyeko emwe okulyangalila. Mubhe bhetegelesha okulilebha elikofyanyisho lya Latabugenyi, linu agulile kwa amanyiga gae omwene.
29 I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
Nimenyele ati mukusokao kwani, jimbhwa je misege jindulu ejingila kwimwe, na bhatalisasila liijo.
30 Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.
Enimenya ati mwimwe one abhene abhandi abhaja no kwaika emisango minyamuke, koleleki okubhakwesa abheigisibhwa bhabhalubhe abhene.
31 Therefore be alert and remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
Kulwejo mwengee. Mwichuke ati KU myaka esatu nitatulile okusiga okubheigisha bhuli umwi wemwe kwa masiga mungeta na mu mwisi.
32 And now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.
Naoli anye enibhatula ku Nyamuanga, na kwo musango gwe chigongo chae, gunu ogutula okubhombaka no kubhayana okulya omwandu amwi nabho bhona bhanu bhateywe ku Nyamuanga.
33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.
Nitaligie jimpilya, jaabu, amwi nebhifwalo.
34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions.
Omumenya emwe abhene ati amabhoko ganu nigo aganana nibhona amabhona gani omwene na mabhona ga bhalia abho bhaliga amwi nanye
35 In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Mu misango jone na bhayanile echijejekanyo na lwakutyo eyendibhwa okubhasakila abho bhatali na mananga go kukola emilimu, na lwakutyo jiile okwichuka emisango ja Latabhugenyi Yesu, emisango ejo omwene aikile: “Lilio libhando okusosha kukila okulamila.”
36 When Paul had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.
Ejile amala okwaika jinu, afukamile no kusabhwa amwi nabho.
37 They all wept openly as they embraced Paul and kissed him.
Bhona mbhalila muno no kumugwila Paulo mu bhicha no kumunyunya.
38 They were especially grieved by his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
Mbhasulubhala mugona ku nsonga ya chinu aliga aikile ati, chimwi bhatachabhubhona obhusu bhani lindi. Okumala nibhamuyelegesha okuja mu melikebu.
