< Acts 20 >

1 THEN after the tumult was quieted, Paul called to him the disciples, and taking his leave, departed to go into Macedonia.
Payiperiti ndewu ilii Paulu kawashemiti pamwera waumini walii, kawagambira visoweru vya kawayupa moyu. Shakapanu kawagambira kwahere, kagenda Makedoniya.
2 And passing through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he went into Greece.
Kapitiriti Seemu zya isi zilii kankuwayupa wantu moyu kwa visoweru vitangala. Shakapanu kasokiti Akaya.
3 And after three months stay, as the Jews were lying in wait for him, when he was just embarking for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
Kweni katamiti kwa myezi mitatu. Pakaweriti kankulitanda kugenda Siriya, kayambuliti handa Wayawudi waweriti wankumtendera mpangu mdoda, hangu kaamuwiti kuwuya kwa kupitira Makedoniya
4 And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus, Asiatics.
Sopata, mwana gwa Piru, kulawa Beroya, wagenditi pamwera nayomberi, viraa Alisitariku na Sekundi kulawa Tesaloniki, Gayu kulawa Deribi, Timotewu, Tukiku na Tirofimu, kulawa mkowa gwa Asiya, na Timotewu
5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
Awa watulonguliti na kutuhepera Trowa kulii.
6 And we sailed from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas after five days; where we stayed seven days.
Tukweniti meli kulawa Filipi payipititi sikukuwi ya Mabumunda gankali kulekera simika, na pa mashaka mhanu shakapanu tuliwoniti pamwera Trowa kulii. Aku tulikaliti kwa shipindi sha lijuma limu.
7 And on the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled to break bread, Paul preached unto them (ready to depart on the morrow), and extended his discourse until midnight.
Jumamosi pashimii tuliwoniti tumegi libumunda. Toziya Paulu kafiriti kuwuka shirawu yakuwi, kawabweliriti wantu na kwendeleya kuyowera nawomberi mpaka pashiru pa ligonu.
8 Now there were many lamps in the upper room, where they were assembled.
Vikoloboyi vivuwa viweriti viyaka mmpindi mushindambi Mshumba pawaweriti wankuliwona.
9 And a certain youth named Eutytchus, who sat in the window, fell into a profound sleep: as Paul discoursed much longer than usual, quite overpowered with sleep, he fell down from a third story, and was taken up dead.
Mndemba yumu litawu lyakuwi Eutuku kaweriti kalivaga palidilisha shipindi Paulu pakaweriti kankwendereya kubwera, Eutuku kanjiti kusizira shididini shididini mpaka mbota zimpata, kapatuka pasi kulawa mgolofa ya tatu. Wamlopoziya kahowiti kala.
10 But Paul came down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Trouble not yourselves, for his life is yet in him.
Kumbiti Paulu kasulukiti pasi, kasuntamala, kamkisikira na kulonga “Namwina lyoga mana kwana ukomu wankali mngati mwakuwi.”
11 And when he had gone up, and broken bread, and eaten, and conversed a long time, even to the break of day, he then departed.
Shakapanu kakwena kayi mligolofa, kalimega libumunda, kaliya. Kendeleyiti kubwera kwa shipindi shivuwa mpaka mandawira putiputi, shakapanu kawuka.
12 And they brought the lad alive, and were comforted exceedingly.
Wantu walii wamtoliti mndemba ulii ukaya pakiwa mkomu nakamu. Wapata shinyamaliru shikulu.
13 Then we going before to the ship, sailed for Assos, intending there to take in Paul: for so he had ordered, meaning himself to walk thither.
Twenga tukweniti meli tulonguliriti kugenda Asu kweni twangamtoliti Paulu. Katugambiriti tutendi ntambu ayi, mana kafiriti kwiza aku kwa kupitira isi iyuma.
14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him up, and came to Mytelene.
Shipindi pakatuwoniti Asu kulii, tumkweniziya mmeli, tugenda Mituleni.
15 And sailing from thence, on the following day we advanced over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos, and staying at Trogyllium, the day following we came to Miletus.
Kulawa aku tugenditi tusoka kiu shirawu yakuwi. Lishaka lya pili, tusulusiyiti nanga Samu na shirawu yakuwi tusokiti Miletu.
16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened on, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
Paulu kaweriti kafira kwendeleya na mwanja kwa meli pota kuwuyira Efesu su nakakawalira nentu aku Asiya. Kaweriti na kanongola ya kusoka Yerusalemu kwa sikukuwi ya Pentekosti handa iwezikana.
17 So he sent to Ephesus from Miletus, and called the presbyters of the church to attend him.
Kulawa Miletu Paulu katumiti ujumbi Efesu, kwa wazewi wa shipinga sha yawamjimira Yesu waliwoni nayomberi.
18 And when they were come unto him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the very first day in which I entered into Asia, how I have been among you at every season,
Pawawuyiti kwakuwi, kawagambiriti, “Muvimana ntambu yandamiti na mwenga pashiru poseri kwanjira mulishaka lilii lya kwanja pansokiti Asiya.
19 serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, which have befallen me through the lying in wait of the Jews:
Muvimana ntambu yanumtenderiti Mtuwa kwa unanaga woseri, kwa masozi na maholu gambatiti kulawirana na mipangu ya ufyangu ya Wayawudi.
20 and that I have suppressed nothing which could conduce to your profiting; not desisting from preaching to you, and teaching you in public, and from house to house,
Muvimana handa hapeni nzindi ata shididini kuwabwelera paweru na mkaya mwamwennga na kuwafundeni shoseri shakuwatangitileni.
21 repeatedly urging both on Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nuwaberiziya mwawoseri Wayawudi, viraa na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi wamgalambukiri Mlungu na kuwera na njimiru mu Mtuwa gwetu Yesu.
22 And now behold I am going, bound by the Spirit, unto Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall there befal me:
Na vinu, mumpikinireni! Neni, payiwera nankumjimira Rohu, nunkugenda Yerusalemu pota kuvimana yagafira kumpata aku.
23 only this, that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and tribulation await thee.
Shanushimana hera ndo handa Rohu Mnanagala kankunanguziya pakati pa kila lushi handa shifungu na ntabiku ndo vyanguhepera.
24 Yet I make no account of any suffering, nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully the Gospel of the grace of God.
Kumbiti, nankuukwisa ukomu wangu kuwera shintu nentu kwaneni mladi hera malili untumintumi wangu na lihengu lilii lyakanupiti Mtuwa Yesu nulitendi, yani nankuziyi Shisoweru Shiwagira sha manemu ga Mlungu.
25 And now behold, I know that ye shall see my face no more, even ye all, among whom I have gone in and out preaching the kingdom of God.
“Mbita muwamu mweni woseri pabwera ufalumi wa Mlungu. Na vinu, nuvimana kwahera ata yumu gwenu hakamoni kayi.
26 Wherefore I appeal to you this day as witnesses that I am pure from the blood of all men.
Hangu, leru ayi nankuwalanguziya nakamu handa payilawira kahowa yumu gwenu, neni nahera lawama yoseri.
27 For I have concealed nothing, so as not repeatedly to declare to you the whole counsel of God.
Toziya hapeni nzindi ata padidini kuwabwelerani nfiru yoseri ya Mlungu.
28 Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed as shepherds the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.
Mulikali weri maweni, mshiloleri shipinga shilii sheni Rohu Mnanagala kawatula mwenga muweri walelwa wakuwi. Mushiloli shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, Mlungu yakashihemeriti kwa mwazi gwa mwana gwakuwi.
29 For this I know, that after my departure there will come among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock:
Nuvimana handa pambuka kala neni wamaminyi wakalipa hawawingilirani, na hapeni waweri na lusungu kwa shipinga ashi.
30 Yea, from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverting doctrines, to draw away disciples after them.
Ata kulawa muwamu mwenu hawalawili wantu weni hantakuli vitwatira vya kupyota su kuwahowiziya wantu na kuwatenda wawafati womberi hera.
31 Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, by night and by day, I have never ceased with tears to admonish every individual.
Hangu muweri masu pamlihola handa kwa shipindi sha vinja vitatu, pashiru na paliwala ndoka ndiri kumubera kila yumu gwenu kwa masozi.
32 And now, brethren, I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to finish the superstructure, and to give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
“Vinu nankuwatula mumawoku ga Mlungu, kwa shisoweru sha manemu gakuwi, ndosheni shiweza kuwanyawa mwenga na kuwapanana uhala pamuhera nawomberi woseri yawapungitwi.
33 The silver, or gold, or apparel of no man have I coveted:
Neni nfirandiri ata mala yimu shuma, wala zaabu, wala nguwu za muntu yoseri.
34 but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for those who were with me.
Muvimana maweni handa ntenda lihengu kwa mawoku gangu namweni su mbati shakuwatanga na sha namweni.
35 In all things I have set you the example, that so labouring hard ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Namweri nankuwayupani mashaka goseri mfanu handa kwa kutenda lihengu shiasi ashi tufiruwa kuwatanga walii wahera likakala patulihola visoweru vya Mtuwa Yesu mweni, ‘Mbaka nentu kulavia kuliku kuyanga.’”
36 And when he had spoken these things, he fell on his knees, and prayed with them all.
Pa katakuliti kala aga, Paulu kasuntamaliti pamuhera nawomberi woseri, kamluwa Mlungu.
37 And all of them shed floods of tears, and fell upon Paul’s neck, and kissed him again and again,
Woseri waweriti wankulira, na kumgambira Paulu kwahere kwa kumkisikira na kumunonera.
38 most peculiarly afflicted at that word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more: and they accompanied him unto the ship.
Shawaweriti na maholu nashu nentu shiweriti showeru shakashitakuliti handa hapeni wamoni kayi. Su, wampeleka mpaka kumeli.
