Acts 20
1 Once the uproar had died down, Paul called the believers together and encouraged them. Then he said goodbye, and left for Macedonia.
Ze yakilaa u minyomo kuhila, uPaulo akaitanga i amanyisigwa nu kuakinyila. Uugwa kualaga nu kuhega kulongola ku Makedonia.
2 He passed through the area, sharing many words of encouragement with the believers there, and then traveled on to Greece.
Nung'wenso nai wakondya kukila mikoa nanso hangi ai watula ukuakinyila i ahuiili, akingila mu Uyunani.
3 After he had spent three months there and just as he was about to sail to Syria, it was discovered that the Jews were plotting against him. So he decided to return through Macedonia.
Ze yakilaa ung'wenso kutula pang'wanso ku itungo nila myeli itaatu, ushaala ai uzepigwe ki talakwe ni Ayahudi nai watula ukuhumbeela kutunga muhinzo ku nzila a luzi kutunga ku Shamu, iti akasiga kusuka kukiila ku Makedonia.
4 These were the people who traveled with him: Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus; Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica; Gaius from Derbe; Timothy; Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.
Nai akuie nu ng'wenso kupikiila ku Sopatro, ng'wana nuang'wa Pirho kupuma mu Berea; Aristariko nu Sekundo, ihi kupuma mu ahuiili nia ku Athesalonike; uGayo nua ku Derbe; Timotheo, Tikiko nu Trofimo kupuma ku Asia.
5 They went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.
Kuiti antu awa akondyaa kutongela hangi ai atulaa akulindiila uko ku Troa.
6 After the Feast of Unleavened Bread we sailed from Philippi, and met them five days later in Troas, where we spent a week.
Ku nzila na luzi kupuma ku Filipi ze yakilaa luhiku nula mikate ni shanga i ikiwe igai, nu mu mahiku a taano ki ka apikiila ku Troa. Ki kikie kuko ku mahiku mu tandaatu.
7 Paul was speaking on the first day of the week as we gathered together to break bread. He was planning to leave in the morning, and went on speaking until midnight.
Ga nu luhiku nulang'wandyo nula wiki, nai kukoli kilingiie palung'wi iti ku uega u mukate, uPaulo ai witambuuye ni ahuiili. Ai watulaa ukuzipya kuhega mudau akwe, itigwa akalongoleka kuligitya kupikiila u utiku wigengu.
8 (The upstairs room where we were meeting was lit by many lamps.)
Ai ikoli intala idu mu shumba nika migulya naiza kilundiie palung'wi.
9 A young man called Eutychus was sitting in the window, and he began feeling very sleepy. As Paul went on speaking he fell sound asleep and tumbled down from the third story. When they picked him up they found he was dead.
Mi ibolomyo ai ukoli wikiie muhumba ung'wi i lina nilakwe Utiko, naiza ulemeigwe nu tulo mulito. Ga nu Paulo nai watula ukutanantya ku itungo ilipu, u umuhumba uyu, aze ulae, akagwa pihi kupuma mu gorofa a kataatu hangi ai ukugilwe aze ukule.
10 Paul went down, stretched himself out upon him, and hugged him. “Don't worry, he's alive,” he said.
Kuiti uPaulo wakasima pihi, ai wigooe ng'wenso mukola migulya akwe, akamu ungatila. Uugwa akaligitya, Leki kuhung'wi ukata, ku nsoko ukoli mupanga.”
11 Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate together with them. He went on talking with them until dawn came, and then he left.
Uugwa akanankila hangi mu golofa nu ku uega u mukate, akalya. Ze yakilaa kitambuila ni enso ku itngo ilipu kupikiila maniambwa, akahega.
12 They took the young man home alive and well, and were very thankful for this.
Akamuleta uyo u muhumba aze mupanga akiloelya nangaluu.
13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos. There we were due to pick up Paul, since that was what he had planned as he decided to travel on foot.
Usese akola ai kutongee ntongeela ang'wa Paulo ku meli hangi kikatunga ku Aso, naza usese kuzipilye kumuhola uPaulo kuko. Iki kiko ung'wenso mukola ai uloilwe kituma, ku nsoko ai uzipilye kulongola kukiila mihi ni nyumu.
14 He did indeed meet us at Assos. We picked him up, and went on to Mitylene.
Nai wakapika uko ku Aso, kikamunankilya mu meli kikalongola ku Mitilene.
15 Sailing on from there we arrived off Kios, and the next day we stopped briefly at Samos, and the following day we arrived at Miletus.
Uugwa usese kikahumbuka kupuma kung'wanso nu luhiku nula kabiili ai kupikile nkika a kabiili na kisiwa nika Kio. Luhiku nai lutyatile, kikapikiila ku kisiwa nika Samo, nu mudau akwe kikapika kisali nika Mileto.
16 Paul had planned to sail on past Ephesus so he wouldn't have to spend time in the province of Asia. He was keen to get to Jerusalem in time for the Day of Pentecost.
Kunsoko u Paulo ai watulaa walamula kutunga muhinzo kukiila ku Efeso, iti kina waleke kutumila itungo ilipu lihi mu Asia; ku ndogoelyo ai watula nu upepele nua kukaya ku Yerusalemu kunsoko a luhiku nula Pentekoste, anga ai ihumike nuanso kituma iti
17 From Miletus Paul sent a message to the elders of the church in Ephesus.
Kupuma ku Mileto akalagiilya antu kupika ku Efeso hangi akaitanga anyampala ni itekeelo.
18 When they arrived, he told them, “You know how I always behaved while I was with you from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.
Nai akapika kitalakwe, aka atambuila, unyenye akola mulingile puma u luhiku nula ng'wandyo nai mpambatile apa ku Asia, iti nai nkoli kitalanyu matungo ihi.
19 I served the Lord in humility and in tears. I put up with the troubles and stress caused by the plots of the Jews.
Nitumile ku Mukulu ku ulyuuku wihi hangi ku liholi, nu lwago nai lumpatile unene ku isui nila Ayahudi.
20 However, I never held back from sharing with you anything that would be to your benefit, and I taught you in public, going from house to house.
Mulingile iti naiza shanga ai nigiiye kutanantya kitalanyu kintu kihi naza kituile ka kusanigwa, ni iti unene nai numumanyisilye kihenga ga ni kulongola ito ku ito.
21 I witnessed both to Jews and Greeks that it was essential to repent and turn to God, and to trust in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mulingile iti unene nai nongolekile kualanga i Ayahudi ni Ayunani migulya a kila itunu kung'wa Itunda nu u huiili mu Mukulu nuitu uYesu.
22 Now the Spirit is insisting that I go to Jerusalem, and I have no idea what will happen to me there.
Ni itungili, gozeeli, unene, nize nkoli nu muhuiie u Ng'wau Ng'welu kutunga ku Yerusalemu, ndeke kumalinga i makani niiza akumpumila unene kung'wanso,
23 All I know is that in every city I visit the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and suffering are waiting for me.
ila ku nsoko u Ng'wau Ng'welu winkuiila unene mu kila kisali hangi wiligitya kina i minyororo nu lwago zizo inindiie.
24 But I don't consider my life as worth anything to me. I only want to finish my mission and the ministry that the Lord Jesus gave to me, to witness to the good news of the grace of God.
Kuiti unene shanga ai nsigile kina u likalo nu lane ingi ku nzila ihi na nsailo kitalane, iti nihume kumalinkiilya u lugendo nu lane nu uaiilya nai nsingiiye kupuma ku Mukulu uYesu, kukuiila u lukani nu luza nula ukende nuang'wa Itunda.
25 Now I am certain that you will not see my face again, you among whom I shared the news of the kingdom.
Ni itungili, goza, ningile kina ihi, mukati ao mu awo nai nongoe kuatanantilya u Utemi, shanga mukunihenga u usu hangi.
26 So I declare to you today that I am not responsible if anyone is lost.
Ku lulo kumu kuiila lelo yiyi, kina nimugila igazo ku sakami a muntu wihi.
27 I didn't hesitate to tell you everything God wants you to know.
Ku ndogoelyo shanga ai nigiiye kumutanantilya u ulowa nuang'wa Itunda.
28 Take care of yourselves and of all the flock, which the Holy Spirit has given to you to supervise. Feed the Lord's church which he bought with his own blood.
Ku lulo tuli akendegeeli migulya anyu unyenye akola, ni migulya idale lihi niize u Ng'wau Ng'welu umuikile unyenye kutula miasunja. Tuli miakendegeeli ku usunja umilundo nua Mukulu, naiza uliguile ku sakami akwe mukola.
29 I know that after I leave vicious wolves will come among you, and won't spare the flock.
Ningile kina ze yakilaa kuhega kitalane, mbugi ni ntaki yukingila mitalanyu, hangi ihite kuliaisiilya idale.
30 From among your own group men will rise up perverting what is right and good so they can lead believers to follow them.
Ningile kina ga nu mukati anyu akola, ang'wi a antu azile nu kuligitya makani a mulimili, iti kualuta i amanyisigwa a atyate enso.
31 So watch out! Don't forget that for three years I went on instructing all of you night and day, often crying over you.
Ku lulo mutule miho. Kimbukiilyi kina ku myaka i taatu shanga ai nihumile kuleka kumanyisa kila ung'wi anyu ku liholi utiku nu mung'wi.
32 Now I commit you in God's care and to the message of his grace, which is able to build you up and provide you with the inheritance that belongs to all who are kept right with him.
Ni itungili unene naminkiilya kung'wa Itunda, nu kulukani nula ukende nuakwe, naiza luhumile kumuzenga nu kuminkiilya isalo palung'wi ni enso ihi niaikilwe ikulyo kung'wa Itunda.
33 I never had any desire for anyone's silver or gold or clothing.
Shanga ai nkete nsula a mpia, zahabu, ang'wi a ng'wenda.
34 You know that I worked with my own hands to provide for my own needs, as well as for those who were with me.
Mulingile unyenye akola kina i mikono iyi ininkiiye u lwinzo nulane mukola nu lwinzo nula awo nai akoli palung'wi nu nene.
35 I have given you an example in everything: work to help those who are weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Mu makani ihi ai numinkiiye mpyani a iti ni mutakiwe ku a aiilya ia nyeku ku kituma i milimo, ni iti ni mutakiwe ku kimbukiilya i makani a Mukulu uYesu, makani naiza u ng'wenso mukola ai uligitilye; “Ingi ibahu kupumya kukila kusingiilya.”
36 When he finished speaking, he kneeled down and prayed with all of them.
Ze yakilaa kuligitya kinya iti, ai utugamile akalompa palung'wi ni enso.
37 They all wept as they hugged and kissed him.
Ihi akalila nangaluu nu kumugwila uPaulo mu nkingo nu kumulungila.
38 What upset them the most was what he said about never seeing him again... Then they walked down to the ship with him.
Ai ahumilwe kinya uwai ikilo nila ihi ku nsoko a iko naiza watulaa ukiligitilye, kina nangaluu shanga akihenga u usu nuakwe hangi. Uugwa akamutindikiilya mu Melikebu.
