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.
Kunyungana ha ku mana, Paulusi cha tuma batumiwa vakwe ni ku va susuweza. Mi cha balaeza ni kuba siya kuya kwa Macadonia.
2 After traveling through that area and speaking many words of encouragement, he arrived in Greece,
Linu hacha yendete chahita mukati ke zilalo ni ku susuweza bazumine ahulu, mi chayenda kwa Greece.
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.
Ha mana kwi kala mwezi yo tatwe, Majuda chiba hinda mulelo he wulu lyakwe kakuti chaba kuyenda kwa Syria, cha zeza kuti a bole ya mukati ka Macedonia.
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.
Baba musindikizi kuya hesi kwa Asia nji Sopater mwana wa muswiswi wa Pyrrhus yo zwa kwa Berea; Aristarchus ni Secundus bose bazumine ba kwa Thessolonica; Gaisus wakwa Berbe; Timothy; Tychicus ni Trophimus ba kwa Asia.
5 These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.
Kono aba bakwame baba kali kuyenda kwentu mi baba katulindili kwa Troas.
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.
Chitwa zuha kuzwa kwa Philippi haku mana mazuba a chikwa chisena mulungo, mi mumazuba atende iyaza chi twaka sika kubali kwa Troas. Uko chi twa kekala mazuba atenda iyaza ni obele.
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.
Ke zuba lya makalo mwisunda, ha tuba kungene tubose kuti tu nkomona cikwa, Paulusi cha wamba ku bazumine. Chaba ku lela ku katuka izuba lichilila, aba zwili habusa niku wamba hesi hakati kamasiku.
8 Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.
Kubema malambi mangi muzubo ya kwiwulu atuba kezi nawo.
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.
Hehahulo kuba kwi kele mulobwana wezina lya Eutychus, yachaba lele iñozi. Sina Paulusi haba wambi inakonde, uzo mulobwana, aba kuchilele, chawa hasi kuzwa habulilo bobutatu mi chiba mutola na fwile.
10 But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”
Mihe Paulusi cha suka hasi, cha liwotwelela hali, ni kuzabalana naye. Linu cha wamba,”Kanzi mukomokwa, uchi hala”.
11 Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.
Linu chayenda kwiwulu hape ni kukagamona chinkwa ni kulya. Hamana kuwamba nabo inako kutwala chitengu, cha yenda.
12 And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.
Chibakaboza muswiswi nahala mi babalizuwi neza.
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.
Iswe tubene tubayendi habusu bwa Paulusi ni Chikepe kakuzuha kuya kwa Assos, kutuba kaleleli kukahinda Paulusi. Iye mwabalikusakila bobulyo, kakuti abakulelete kuyenda yahasi.
14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.
Linu hakatuwana kwa Assos, chitwa mulonga muchikepe ni ku yenda kwa Mitylene.
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.
Linu chitwa kazuha kwateni ni kukasika izuba lichilila chibabambene ni chida cha Chios. Izuba lichilila chitwa kakwata chida cha Samos, lichilila izuba chitweza mumuleneñi wa Miletus.
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.
Kakuti Paulusi iyemwine chabakuzezete kuzuha kuhitilila Ephesus, kuti kazi akahindi inako mwa Asia; kakuti abakuhwelele kukaba kwa Jerusalema izuba lye Pentakota, heba kuti ni kuwoleka kuti atende bulyo.
17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.
Kwa Miletus natumina bakwame kwa Efese ni kusupila kwakwe bakulwana bekeleke.
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.
Habakeza kwali, chawamba kubali, “inwe mubene mwizi, kuzwa izuba lyamakalo kukulyata itende lyangu mwa Asia, inako iniba hindi ninina nenwa.
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.
Niba zwili habusu ninisebeleza Simwine mubufokoli bwaboko ni zisozi, ni mumasukuluko aba tendahali kwangu bakeñi chakulelwa kwa Majuda.
20 I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,
Mwizi kuti kananibaboleli mumasule kukutumusa kwenu zintu zonse zina ituso, ni muni bakumilutila mwichisi ni kuyenda izubo ni zubo.
21 testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mwizi muniba kukalimela Majuda ni Magerike kuti babakele kwe Ireeza ni kuzumina kwe Simwina Jesu.
22 And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
Mihanu, mulole, ni yenda nilinyongamine mu Luhuho Lujolola kwa Jerusalema, ninisezi zintu ziwola kukatendahala kwangu kuna,
23 I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.
konzi Luhuho Lujolola nji paki zangu muleneñi uhi no uhi kuwambwa kusuminwa ni manyando anilibelele.
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.
Kono kanihupuli kuti buhalo bwangu bwabutokwa kwangu, kuti ni mane isiyano wangu ni misebezi iniba tambuli kuzwa kwa Simwine Jesu, kuba ipaki yeñusa lyabutokwa lyachisemo cha Ireeza.
25 Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.
Mihanu, mulole, nizi kuti inwe mubonse, banibayendeli kukaluta za mubuso, kesenimubone ipata yangu hape.
26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
Hakwina bulyo ni mipakila mwelinu izuba, kanina mulandu wamalaha a muntu zuhi no zuhi.
27 For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole will of God.
Kakuti kena nibaboleli mwisule kukutumusa kwenu mulelo wose wetato ye Ireeza.
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.
Hakwinabulyo mulitokomele inwe mubene, ni mitapi iyo Luhuho Lujolola luba mitendi baokameli bayo. Mutokomele kuba balisani bekeleke ye Ireeza, yabawuli kamalaha akwe.
29 I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
Nizi kuti chinayenda, bantuhu bakali kabeze benjile mukati kenu, mi keti nibeze bafule mitapi inse.
30 Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.
Nizi kuti niheba mukati kenu mubene bamwi bakwame kabeze nikwiza kuwamba zintu ziwula bamwi ikweta, kutendela kuti bazwise balutwana kubali.
31 Therefore be alert and remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
Chobulyo mutokomele. Muhupule muzilimo zotatwe kuti kana ni basiyi kulaela zumwi ni zumwi wenu ni kulila musihali ni masiku.
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.
Mi hanu nimiha kwe Ireeza ni kulinzwi lyakwe lya chishemo, ili yowola kumikoza ni kumiha kuyola mukati kabo balukite.
33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.
Kana nibalakazi isilivera yamuntu, ni ngauda ni zizwato.
34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions.
Inwe mubene mwizi kuti aa mayaza abaniwanisi zinisaka ni zibasaka abo babena name.
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.’”
Muzintu zose nibakumiha mutala mumu wolela kutusuza basaliwoleli kakusebeze, ni mumuwolela kuhupulela manzwi a Simwine Jesu, manzwi oa abawambi: “Kwina imbuyoti zingi mukuha kuzamba kuhewa.”
36 When Paul had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.
Hamana kuwamba mweyonzila, chakubama ni kulapela nabo bonse.
37 They all wept openly as they embraced Paul and kissed him.
Bonse babalili hahulu ni kuwila Paulusi mwisingo ni kumuchuchuna.
38 They were especially grieved by his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
Babawililwe hahulu chakuhitliza chebaka lyazabawambi, ziti kete nibabone bulubi bwakwe hape. Linu chibamusindikiza kuchikepe.
