< Acts 20 >

1 Nowe after the tumult was appeased, Paul called the disciples vnto him, and embraced them, and departed to goe into Macedonia.
Na rĩrĩ, ngũĩ ĩyo yarĩkia gũthira, Paũlũ agĩtũmanĩra arutwo, na aarĩkia kũmomĩrĩria, akĩmoigĩra ũhoro agĩthiĩ Makedonia.
2 And when hee had gone through those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Grecia.
Agĩtuĩkanĩria mĩena ya kuo, akĩaragia ciugo nyingĩ cia kũũmĩrĩria andũ, na marigĩrĩrio agĩkinya bũrũri wa Ũyunani,
3 And hauing taried there three moneths, because the Iewes layde waite for him, as hee was about to saile into Syria, hee purposed to returne through Macedonia.
kũrĩa aaikarire mĩeri ĩtatũ. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Paũlũ eeharagĩria kũhaica marikabu athiĩ Suriata, agĩtua itua gũcookera Makedonia, tondũ Ayahudi nĩmaciirĩire kũmwĩka ũũru.
4 And there accompanied him into Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of them of Thessalonica, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of them of Asia, Tychicus, and Trophimus.
Paũlũ aathiire marĩ hamwe na Sopatiro mũrũ wa Puro, mũndũ wa kuuma Berea, na Arisitariko, na Sekundo, andũ a kuuma Thesalonike, na Gayo wa kuuma Deribe, o hamwe na Timotheo, ningĩ na Tikiko, na Tirofimo, andũ a kuuma bũrũri wa Asia.
5 These went before, and taried vs at Troas.
Andũ acio magĩthiĩ mbere magĩtweterera kũu Teroa.
6 And we sailed forth from Philippi, after the dayes of vnleauened bread, and came vnto them to Troas in fiue dayes, where we abode seuen dayes.
No ithuĩ tũkĩhaica marikabu, tũkiuma Filipi thuutha wa Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia, na thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtano, tũgĩkora andũ arĩa angĩ kũu Teroa, nakuo tũgĩikara mĩthenya mũgwanja.
7 And the first day of the weeke, the disciples being come together to breake bread, Paul preached vnto them, ready to depart on the morrow, and continued the preaching vnto midnight.
Mũthenya wa mbere wa kiumia nĩtwagomanire hamwe nĩguo twenyũre mũgate. Paũlũ akĩarĩria andũ, na tondũ nĩatanyĩte gũthiĩ mũthenya ũcio warũmĩrĩire-rĩ, agĩthiĩ na mbere kwaria nginya ũtukũ gatagatĩ.
8 And there were many lightes in an vpper chamber, where they were gathered together.
Nĩ kwarĩ na matawa maingĩ maakanaga kũu nyũmba ya igũrũ kũrĩa twagomanĩte.
9 And there sate in a windowe a certaine yong man, named Eutychus, fallen into a dead sleepe: and as Paul was long preaching, hee ouercome with sleepe, fell downe from the thirde loft, and was taken vp dead.
Nake mwanake wetagwo Eutiko aikarĩte ndirica-inĩ, na o ũrĩa Paũlũ aathiaga na mbere na kwaria-rĩ, noguo mwanake ũcio akĩragĩrĩria gũtoorio nĩ toro. Rĩrĩa aakomire, akĩgũa thĩ kuuma ngoroba ya gatatũ nao mamuoya magĩkora nĩ mũkuũ.
10 But Paul went downe, and layde himselfe vpon him, and embraced him, saying, Trouble not your selues: for his life is in him.
Paũlũ agĩikũrũka, agĩkomera mwanake ũcio akĩmũkumbatĩria akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai kũmaka, arĩ muoyo!”
11 Then when Paul was come vp againe, and had broken bread, and eaten, hauing spoken a long while till the dawning of the day, hee so departed.
Agĩcooka akĩambata nyũmba ya igũrũ, akĩenyũra mũgate na akĩrĩa. Na thuutha wa kũmaarĩria nginya gũgĩkĩa-rĩ, akiuma kũu, agĩthiĩ.
12 And they brought the boye aliue, and they were not a litle comforted.
Nao andũ makĩinũkia mwanake ũcio arĩ muoyo, na mahooreire ngoro mũno.
13 Then we went before to shippe, and sailed vnto the citie Assos, that wee might receiue Paul there: for so had hee appointed, and would himselfe goe afoote.
No ithuĩ tũgĩthiĩ mbere tũgĩtoonya marikabu tũgĩthiĩ nginya Aso, kũrĩa twathiire tũkĩoyaga Paũlũ. Aathondekete mũbango ũyũ mbere tondũ we athiĩte kũu magũrũ.
14 Now when he was come vnto vs to Assos, and we had receiued him, we came to Mitylenes.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aatũtũngire kũu Aso, tũkĩmũkuua na marikabu, tũgĩthiĩ nginya Mitilene.
15 And wee sailed thence, and came the next day ouer against Chios, and the next day we arriued at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium: the next day we came to Miletum.
Mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire tũkĩhaica marikabu, tũgĩthiĩ tũgĩkinya harĩa haaringaine na Kio, na thuutha wa mũthenya ũcio tũgĩkinya Samo, naguo mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire, tũgĩkinya Mileto.
16 For Paul had determined to saile by Ephesus, because hee woulde not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted to be, if hee could possible, at Hierusalem, at the day of Pentecost.
Paũlũ nĩatuĩte itua rĩa gũthiĩ ahĩtũkĩte Efeso na marikabu nĩguo ndagate mahinda kũu bũrũri wa Asia, nĩ ũndũ nĩehĩkaga nĩguo kwahoteka akinye Jerusalemu, mũthenya wa Bendegothito.
17 Wherefore from Miletum, hee sent to Ephesus, and called the Elders of the Church.
Paũlũ arĩ kũu Mileto, agĩtũmana Efeso, agĩĩta athuuri a kanitha moke harĩ we.
18 Who when they were come to him, hee said vnto them, Ye know from the first day that I came into Asia, after what maner I haue bene with you at all seasons,
Nao maakinya, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ nĩ mũũĩ ũrĩa ndaatũũraga ihinda rĩrĩa rĩothe ndaaikarire na inyuĩ, kuuma o mũthenya wa mbere ũrĩa ndookire bũrũri wa Asia.
19 Seruing the Lord with all modestie, and with many teares, and tentations, which came vnto me by the layings awaite of the Iewes,
Nĩndatungatĩire Mwathani ndĩnyiihĩtie mũno na ndĩ na maithori, o na gũtuĩka nĩndageririo mũno nĩ ũndũ Ayahudi nĩmaathugundaga kũnjĩka ũũru.
20 And how I kept backe nothing that was profitable, but haue shewed you, and taught you openly and throughout euery house,
Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ ndirĩ ndatithia kũhunjia ũndũ o wothe ũngĩmũguna no ndĩmũrutagĩra mbere ya andũ othe na ngathiiaga o nyũmba o nyũmba.
21 Witnessing both to the Iewes, and to the Grecians the repentance towarde God, and faith toward our Lord Iesus Christ.
Na ngoimbũrĩra Ayahudi o hamwe na Ayunani atĩ no nginya magarũrũke kũrĩ Ngai na ũndũ wa kwĩrira na magĩe na wĩtĩkio thĩinĩ wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ.
22 And nowe beholde, I goe bound in the Spirit vnto Hierusalem, and know not what things shall come vnto me there,
“Na rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa kũringĩrĩrio nĩ Roho Mũtheru, ndĩrathiĩ Jerusalemu itekũmenya maũndũ marĩa makaangora ndĩ kũu.
23 Saue that ye holy Ghost witnesseth in euery citie, saying, that bondes and afflictions abide me.
Ũndũ ũrĩa njũũĩ tu nĩ atĩ, Roho Mũtheru nĩandaaraga atĩ matũũra-inĩ mothe, njeera na mathĩĩna nĩcio injetereire.
24 But I passe not at all, neither is my life deare vnto my selfe, so that I may fulfill my course with ioye, and the ministration which I haue receiued of the Lord Iesus, to testifie the Gospell of the grace of God.
No rĩrĩ, ndirona gũtũũra muoyo kũrĩ na bata harĩ niĩ, korwo no ndĩĩkie ihenya na ndĩĩkie wĩra ũrĩa Mwathani Jesũ aaheete, na nĩguo wĩra wa kuumbũra Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa wega wa Ngai.
25 And now behold, I know that henceforth ye all, through whome I haue gone preaching the kingdome of God, shall see my face no more.
“Na rĩu nĩnjũũĩ gũtirĩ o na ũmwe thĩinĩ wanyu wa andũ arĩa ndanathiĩ ngĩhunjagĩria ũhoro wa ũthamaki ũgacooka kũnyona rĩngĩ.
26 Wherefore I take you to recorde this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ngũmwĩra ũmũthĩ atĩ gũtirĩ thakame ya mũndũ o na ũmwe ngoorio.
27 For I haue kept nothing backe, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God.
Nĩ ũndũ niĩ ndirĩ ndatithia kũmũhunjĩria wendi wa Ngai ũrĩ wothe.
28 Take heede therefore vnto your selues, and to all the flocke, whereof the holy Ghost hath made you Ouerseers, to feede the Church of God, which hee hath purchased with that his owne blood.
Mwĩmenyererei inyuĩ ene, na mũmenyerere rũũru ruothe rũrĩa Roho Mũtheru amũtuĩte arori aruo. Tuĩkai arĩithi a kanitha wa Ngai, ũrĩa aagũrire na thakame yake mwene.
29 For I knowe this, that after my departing shall grieuous wolues enter in among you, not sparing the flocke.
Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ndaarĩkia gũthiĩ, njũũi ndĩĩani nĩigooka gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu na itigacaaĩra rũũru rũrũ.
30 Moreouer of your owne selues shall men arise speaking peruerse thinges, to drawe disciples after them.
O na ningĩ kuuma harĩ inyuĩ nĩgũkoimĩra andũ, na mogomie ũhoro-wa-ma nĩgeetha maguucĩrĩrie arutwo mamarũmĩrĩre.
31 Therefore watche, and remember, that by the space of three yeres I ceased not to warne euery one, both night and day with teares.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ikaragai mwĩhũgĩte! Ririkanai atĩ ihinda rĩa mĩaka ĩtatũ ndirĩ ndatigithĩria gutaara o ũmwe wanyu ũtukũ na mũthenya ngĩitaga maithori.
32 And nowe brethren, I commend you to God, and to the worde of his grace, which is able to build further, and to giue you an inheritance, among all them, which are sanctified.
“Na rĩu ngũmũneana kũrĩ Ngai o na kũrĩ ũhoro wa wega wake, ũrĩa ũngĩhota kũmwaka wega mũrũme na mũgĩe na igai hamwe na andũ arĩa othe matheretio.
33 I haue coueted no mans siluer, nor gold, nor apparell.
Niĩ ndirĩ ndacuumĩkĩra betha kana thahabu, o na kana nguo ya mũndũ o wothe.
34 Yea, ye knowe, that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
Inyuĩ ene nĩmũũĩ atĩ ndaarutaga wĩra na moko makwa nĩ ũndũ wa mabata makwa niĩ mwene, na mabata ma andũ arĩa ndakoragwo nao.
35 I haue shewed you all things, howe that so labouring, ye ought to support the weake, and to remember the wordes of the Lord Iesus, howe that hee saide, It is a blessed thing to giue, rather then to receiue.
Maũndũ-inĩ marĩa mothe ndeekire, nĩndamuonirie atĩ no nginya tũteithagie andũ arĩa matarĩ hinya, na ũndũ wa kũruta wĩra mũritũ ta ũcio, tũkĩririkanaga ciugo iria ciaririo nĩ Mwathani Jesũ we mwene rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Kũheana nĩ kũrĩ irathimo nyingĩ gũkĩra kũheo.’”
36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled downe, and prayed with them all.
Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, agĩturia ndu hamwe nao othe makĩhooya.
37 Then they wept all abundantly, and fell on Pauls necke, and kissed him,
Nao othe makĩrĩra makĩmũhĩmbagĩria na makĩmũmumunya.
38 Being chiefly sorie for the words which he spake, That they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him vnto the shippe.
Ũndũ ũrĩa wamekĩrire kĩeha mũno makĩria, nĩ ũrĩa aameerire atĩ matigacooka kũmuona ũthiũ rĩngĩ. Magĩcooka makĩmumagaria nginya marikabu-inĩ.
