Acts 20
1 AND after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
Mipyopyongano mpoyalapwa, Paulo walabunganya beshikwiya. Mpwalamba maswi akubayuminisha, walabalaya walaya ku Makedoniya.
2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
Walapitana mubimpansha byonse kaya kuyuminisha beshikwiya, kupitila mukukambauka maswi a Lesa, mpaka walashika ku Gilisi.
3 And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
Uko walekalako myenshi itatu. Mpwalikulibambila bulwendo bwa kuya ku Siliya mubwato, walanyumfwa kwambeti, Bayuda balapangananga sha kumushina. Pacebo ico, walayeyeti enga akupitila ku Makedoniya.
4 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
Paulo walaya pamo ne bantu aba; Sopatulo mwanendi Pailasi waku Beleya ne Alisitako ne Sekunda, ba ku Tesalonika ne Gayo waku Debe ne Timoti ne Tukiko kayi ne Tulofimo ba micimpansha ca Asiya.
5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
Aba balatanguna kushika ku Tulowa, nkobali kutupembelela.
6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
Mpobwalapita busuba bwakusekelela shinkwa wabula cishikufufumusha, ne njafwe twalanyamuka ne bwato kufuma ku Filipi. Panyuma pa kwenda bulwendo bwa masuba asanu twalashika ku Tulowa, uko nkotwalabacana. Twalekalako masuba asanu ne abili.
7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
Lino pa busuba butanshi bwa nsondo, mpotwalabungana pamo kulya mulalilo wakwanukilapo Mwami Yesu, Paulo walatatika kwambila bantu mpaka pakati pa mashiku, pakwinga walikuyanda kufumako mumene mene.
8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
Mwalikuba mimuni ingi mucipinda capelu ca ng'anda njetwalikuba twabunganamo.
9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
Mutuloba naumbi musepela lina lyakendi Yutika, walikuba wekalila pa cipense, walatatika kushinshila. Pakwinga Paulo walapitilisha kwamba cindi citali, muntuyu walona tulo, walawa panshi kufuma pelu palupingwe lwabutatu, balacana wafwa.
10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
Popelapo Paulo walaseluka panshi, ne kulambalala pamubili wa mutuloba uyu, ne kumufukata. Paulo walabambila bantu balikubapo, “Kamutapenga sobwe, ni muyumi.”
11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
Kufumapo Paulo walabwelela mucipinda capelu mung'anda. Walalya mulalilo wakwanukilapo Mwami Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bonse balikubapo. Walabandika nabo cindi citali. Walafumako kumaca lisuba kalili pepi kupula.
12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
Usa mutuloba balamutwala kung'anda kucomwabo kali muyumi ntaa! Neco bonse balekalika myoyo.
13 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
Popelapo twalatanguna kuya ku Asosi mu bwato. Pakwinga walatwambileti tukakumanine ku Asosi kwambeti nkoti akatantile mu bwato motwalikuba, pakwinga nendi walenda lwa musansa kuya ku Asosi.
14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
Mpwalatucana ku Asosi, walatanta mu bwato motwalikuba ne kuya pamo ku Mitileni.
15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
Busuba bwakonkapo twalashika pepi ne Kiyosi. Twalenda mpaka twalashika ku Samo. Busuba bwalakonkapo twalashika ku Mileto.
16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
Pakwinga Paulo walayeya kupita kumbali kwa munshi wa Efenso, kwambeti katataya cindi citali mu cimpansha ca Asiya. Walikuba wengana pakwinga walikuyandeti na kacikonsheka, akabenga mu Yelusalemu kabutana bushika busuba bwa Pentekosite.
17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
Mpwalikuba pa Mileto, Paulo walatuma muntu ku Efenso kuya kubakuwa bamakulene ba mubungano.
18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
Mpobalashika walabambileti, “Amwe mucinshi cena ncendalikwikala ne kusebensa pacindi ncendalikuba pamo ne njamwe, kufuma pa busuba mbondalashika mu cimpansha ca Asiya.
19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
Ndalasebensela Mwami Yesu mwakulicepesha, nacimbi cindi ndalikulila misoshi cebo ca masunko ngobalikundetela Bayuda mpobalikupangana sha kushina.
20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
Mucinshi kwambeti paliya cintu nacikaba cimo, calikuyandika kumunyamfwa ncondalamusoleka, nsombi ndalakambauka ne kumwiyisha makani alambanga sha Yesu, pabantu bangi kayi ne kung'anda ne ng'anda.”
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ndalikubacenjesha Bayuda ne bantu bamishobo naimbi, kwambeti belela kusandukila kuli Lesa, ne kushoma Mwami wetu Yesu.
22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
Cebo cakunyumfwila Mushimu Uswepa, pacino cindi ndenga ku Yelusalemu, nomba nkandicinshi ceti cikenshike kuli njame.
23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
Ncenjinshowa ni cakwambeti, mu minshi yonse Mushimu Uswepa ulancenjeshengeti, mapensho ne kusungwa mujele kulampembelenga.
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Nkandasakamananga sha buyumi bwakame sobwe, ncendayandishishinga ni kupwisha ncito njalampa Mwami Yesu, kukambauka Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha luse ulo luli cipo ca Lesa.
25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
Ndalapitana muli njamwe mwense, kanja kukambauka makani a Bwami bwa Lesa, nomba lino ndicinshi kwambeti nteti mukambonepo sobwe.
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
Neco ndamwambilishinga busuba bwalelo, kwambeti na nabambi mulikoto lyenu ili bakonongeke ntewo mulandu wakame sobwe.
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Pakwinga paliya cintu naba cimo ncendalamusoleka sobwe. Ndalamwambila byonse mbyalayandanga Lesa.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Mwelela kulilama cena mobene, ne kulama cena likoto lya bantu abo Mushimu Uswepa ngowalamupeti mubembelenga. Kamwembelanga cena bantu mu mubungano wa Lesa, abo mbwalapulusheti babe bakendi kupitila mu lufu lwa Mwanendi.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Ndicinshi kwambeti ame ndakafumapo pa likoto lyenu, baumpe bakalu nibakese pakati penu, beti bakabule nkumbo ne likoto lya bantu bali mu mubungano.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Kayi mu likoto lyenu mobene, nimukapunduke bantu beshikwiyisha bya bwepeshi ne kukwelela bangi kulubasu kwabo, kwambeti babakonkele.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
Neco, cetukani! Kamwingashilangeti kwa byaka bitatu ndalikumwiyisha mwense munshi ne mashiku, kandila misoshi.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Cakupwililisha, ndamubikinga mu makasa a Lesa, ne mu makani alambanga sha luse lwakendi, elela kumwibaka ne kumupa colwe ico Lesa ncabikila bantu bakendi bonse.
33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
Ndiya ku kumbwapo mali, nambi cakufwala camuntu uliyense sobwe.
34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
Mobene mucinshi cena kwambeti ndalikusebensa ne makasa akame, kucana byonse byali kuyandika pabuyumi bwakame ne kunyamfwilishako baname mbondalikuba nabo.
35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Mubintu byonsebi ndalamubonesha kwambeti, kusebensa ne ngofu mbuli ncendalikusebensa, inga tunyamfwako abo balefuka. Cindi conse kamwanukanga maswi ngalamba Mwami Yesu, akwambeti, “Kupa kukute kuleta colwe, kupita kutambula.”
36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
Mpwalapwisha kwamba, bantu bonse balikuba pamo ne Paulo, balasuntama ne kupaila kuli Lesa.
37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,
Bonse bali kabalila mwakompolola mpobalamukumbatila Paulo, ne kumushonshonta pakulayana.
38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
Calabapa kungumana ni maswi ngalambeti nteti bakamubonepo kayi. Kufumapo balamushindikila kwalikuba bwato.
