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.
Nnjasha ya ku Epesho ila ikapumuleje a Pauli gubhaashemilenje bhakilishitu, gubhaatajilenje ntima. Kungai gubhaalajilenje, gubhajabhwile kwenda ku Makedonia.
2 After traveling through that area and speaking many words of encouragement, he arrived in Greece,
Gubhapitile mmbali ya yene ilambo ila bhalikwaataganga ntima bhandunji kwa malobhe gamagwinji. Kungai gubhaishe ku Giliki,
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.
Kweneko gubhatemi myei jitatu. Bhalipanganika kwenda ku Shilia, gubhang'amwile kuti Bhayaudi bhatendaga kwaatamilanga itamo ya pinga kwaapoteka, kwa nneyo gubhabhujile kupitila ku 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.
Gubhalongene na a Shopato bha ku Bhelea, bhana bhabho a Pailashi na a Lishitilako na a Shekundo bhandunji bha ku Teshalonike na a Gayo bhandu bha ku Debhe na a Timoteo na a Tikiko na a Tolopimo bhandunji bha ku Ashia.
5 These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.
Bhene bhanganyabho bhashinkutulongolelanga nikwenda kutulinda ku Toloa.
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.
Jikapiteje shikukuu ja mikate jangataga ngedule, gutukwelile meli kujabhula ku Pilipi na lyubha lya nng'ano gutwaishilenje ku Toloa kula. Kweneko gututemi juma jimo.
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.
Lyubha lya ndandubho lya juma gutuimene nkupinga kugabhana nkate. Pabha a Pauli bhashinkutumbilila kujabhula pa malabhi gakwe, gubhapundile kwaalungushiyanga na kukunguluka mpaka pakati shilo.
8 Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.
Yashinkupagwa kandili yaigwinji ilikolela mwene nkati golopa mutwaimene mula.
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.
Nshanda jumo lina lyakwe Yutikashi ashinkutama pa lidilisha akuno a Pauli bhalipunda lunguya, Yutiko gwatandwibhe kugweela kashoko na kungai lugono lukuntopelaga, gwagwile pai kukopoka golopa ja tatu. Gubhannokotenje ali awile.
10 But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”
A Pauli gubhatulwishe pai, nikunnjapata gubhashite, “Nnakolanje lipamba pabha gumi gwakwe gwatangu.”
11 Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.
Gubhakwelile kabhili kugolopa, gubhagabhile nkate, gubhalile. Gubhapundile kukunguluka nabhonji mpaka kumashelo, gubhajabhwile.
12 And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.
Bhandunji bhala gubhampelekenje nshanda jula kumui ali jwankoto, guyaanonyelenje kwa kaje.
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.
Gutukwelile meli gutulungolele kwenda ku Asho kweneko ni kutwatumbilile kwapashila a Pauli. Pabha bhashinkupinga kupitila kweneko kwa mpanda gwa pai.
14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.
Bhai, gubhatuimene ku Asho, gutwaapashole mmeli, gutupite ku Mitulene.
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.
Tukajabhuleje penepo pa malabhi gakwe gutuishe ku Kio. Lyubha lya bhili gutujimishe meli ku Shamo na malabhi gakwe gutuishe ku 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.
A Pauli bhashinkutumbilila kupelenganya na mwanja gwangali kupitila ku Epesho, nkupinga bhanakabhiye ku Ashiako. Pabha bhashinkukola shanguya sha ika ku Yelushalemu itendekaga bhakashiimane shikukuu sha Pentekoshite.
17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.
A Pauli bhali ku Mileto, gubhatumile ntenga ku bhanangulungwa bha likanisha ku Epesho nkupinga bhaimane nabhonji.
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.
Bhakaikanganeje kunngwabho, gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mmanganyanji mmumanyinji shinjite tama mobha gowe kutandubhila lyubha linaishe ku Ashia.
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.
Ngulikwaakamulila maengo Bhakulungwa kwa kwiitimalika kowe na kwa minyoi na malinjilo gambataga kwa itamo ya Bhayaudi ya pinga mboteka.
20 I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,
Mmumanyinji kuti ngakweteje nnjishi kunnungushiyanga palugwinjili na nnyumba yenunji na kunnjiganyanga indu ya kunnjangutilanga.
21 testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Natendaga kwaaleyanga bhowenji Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki bhaipetanje kwa a Nnungu na bhaakulupalilanje Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu.”
22 And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
“Bhai, nnaino mpilikananje! Kwa kunkunda Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, nne ngunakwenda ku Yelushalemu akuno ngakumumanya gapinga mbata kweneko.
23 I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.
Ikabheje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo anangong'ondela kuti mwilambo yowe itabho na mboteko inaninda.
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.
Ikabheje, gumi gwangu ngakuubhona kubha shindu sha mmbone, ikabhe maliye mwanja na liengo libhambele Bhakulungwa a Yeshu nilitende, yani kukong'ondela Ngani ja Mmbone ja ntuka gwa a Nnungu.
25 Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.
“Na lelo, nnolanje, namwene nimumanyi kuti mmanganyanji mmowe ninnungushiyenje upalume gwa a Nnungu, ngulikwenda ako na koko, nkamonanga kabhili.
26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
Kwa nneyo, lyubha lya lelo lino ngunakunkong'ondelanga kuti, jojowe shaobhejo nne nangali shoshowe sha gambwa.
27 For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole will of God.
Pabha nangaleka wala kashoko kunnungushiyanga yowe ibhatumbilile a Nnungu.”
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.
“Mwiteiganje mwashaayene, nnishunganje likundilyo Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo ashikummikanga mmanganyanji mmanganje mmalelanga. Nnishunganje likundi lya bhandunji bha a Nnungu libhaliumile kwa minyai jika mwana gwabho.
29 I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
Nimumanyi kuti nyabhulaga ashimaogo ga jogoya shibhannjiilanganilanje na bhakalibhonelanga shiya likundilyo.
30 Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.
Nkali kukopoka munkumbi gwenunji shibhakoposhelanje bhandunji shibhajiye bheleketanga ya puganya nkupinga bhabhanganje bhaajiganywa na bhaakulupalilanje bhene bhanganyabho.
31 Therefore be alert and remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
Kwa nneyo ntamangananje shikupi lola nkumbushilanje kuti kwa yaka itatu, shilo na mui, ngatotoshelaga kunneya kila mundu kwa kunngutanjila.
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.
“Bhai, nnaino ngunakummikanga muulinda gwa a Nnungu na kwa lilobhe lya ntuka gwabho, ukunshimilikanga ngunakumpanganga mboka pamo na bhandunji bhabho bhakonjeleywenje.
33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.
Nne nangalokolila mmbiya wala shaabhu, wala nngubho ika mundu jojowe.
34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions.
Mwaashayenenji mmumanyinji kuti njikamula maengo kwa makono gangu, nkupinga mbate indu ipinjikwa, yangu na yashaajangunji.
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.’”
Kwa indu yowe natendaga kunnangulanga kuti kwa kamula maengo nneyo tunaapinjikwa kwaajangutilanga bhakakwiikombolanga, akuno tulikumbushila malobhe ga Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhayene shibhashite bheleketa, ‘Mbaya kulaguya, nngalingana na poshela.’”
36 When Paul had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.
Bhakamaliyeje kubheleketa genego, gubhatindibhelenje gubhajujilenje Nnungu.
37 They all wept openly as they embraced Paul and kissed him.
Bhowenji bhatendaga gutanga, bhalikwaalajilanga na kwaajambatila a Pauli nnukoi.
38 They were especially grieved by his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
Bhashinkuinjikanga kwa kaje kwa lilobhe libhabhelekete a Pauli kuti bhakaabhonanga kabhili. Bhai, gubhaapelesheyenje mpaka kumeli.
