Acts 20
1 When the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and, with encouraging words, bade them goodbye, and started on his journey to Macedonia.
Wejile injogele yawao, Paulo nabhabhilikila abheigisibhwa no kubhatamo omwoyo, okumala nabhalaga nasokao nagenda Makedonia.
2 After going through those districts and speaking many encouraging words to the disciples, he went into Greece, where he stayed three months.
Ejile alabha mu majimbho ago na aliga nabhatamo omwoyo abhekilisha, nengila mu Bhuyunani.
3 He was about to sail to Syria, when he learned that a plot had been laid against him by several of the Jewish leaders; so he decided to return by way of Macedonia.
Mwenene Ejile abha alya mwanya gwa mesi gasatu, ntungwa bhibhi ni jumbhakwa jitasikene nage amwi nabhayaudi anu aliga ali ayei no kulabha mu njila ya munyanja okuja Shamu, kwibhyo alamue okusubha no kulabha Makedonia.
4 He was accompanied by Sopater the son of Pyrrhus, of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, as well as by Tychicus and Trophimus of Roman Asia.
Bhanu bhagwatene nage kukinga Asia bhaliga bha Sopartro, Omwana wa Pirho okusoka Berea; Aristariko na Sekundo, bhona mbhasoka mu bekilisha bha Bhathesalonike; Gayo owa Derbe; Timotheo; Tikiko na Trofimo okusoka Asia.
5 These people went to Troas and waited for us there;
Nawe abhanu bhanu bhatangatile na bhaliga nibhachilindilila eyo Troa.
6 while we ourselves sailed from Philippi after the Passover, and joined them five days later at Troas, where we stayed for a week.
Munjila ya munyanja okusoka Filipi Jejile jawa jinaku je mikate jinu chitalimo chifwibhya na mu naku etanu chibhakingila eyo Troa. Chenyanjile eyo kwa naku musanju.
7 On the first day of the week, when we had met for the breaking of bread, Paul, who was intending to leave the next day, began to address those who were present, and prolonged his address until midnight.
ku lunaku Lwo kwambha olwo bhwoyo, Anu chaliga chikofyanyishe amwi koleleki ogubhutula omukate, Mbe Paulo aikile na bekilisha. Aliga nenda okwimuka mwejo yendeko, kwibhyo agendelee okwaika kukinga bwile bukulu saa munana ja mungeta.
8 There were a good many lamps in the upstairs room, where we had met;
Jaliga jilio jitala nyafu mu chumbha cha ingulu Anu chaliga chikofyanyishe amwi.
9 and a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, was gradually overcome with great drowsiness, as Paul continued his address. At last, quite overpowered by his drowsiness, he fell from the third story to the ground, and was picked up for dead.
Musigaji umwi aliga enyanjile kwidilisha lisina lyae Utiko, unu akanyiwe jintilo nyafu. Anu Paulo aliga nasimula kwo mwanya mulela, omusigaji unu, aliga amamile, nailingita ansi okusoka kwigorofa lya kasatu na nakugwa afuye.
10 But Paul went down, threw himself on him, and put his arms around him. “Do not be alarmed,” he said, “he is still alive.”
Mbe nawe Paulo ekile ansi, negolola omwene ingulu yae namufumbhatila. Okumala naika, “mwasiga (kulengala, ) kulwo kubha Ni muanga.”
11 Then he went upstairs; and, after breaking and partaking of the bread, he talked with them at great length until daybreak, and then left.
Okumala nalinya lindi mwigorofa nagubhutula omukate, nalya. Ejile amala okwaika nabho kwa mwanya mulela kukinga mu machelelesha, nasokao.
12 Meanwhile they had taken the lad away alive, and were greatly comforted.
Mbhamuleta omusigaji ulya Ali muanga mbhasilisibhwa muno.
13 We started first, went on board ship, and sailed for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. This was by his own arrangement, as he intended to go by land himself.
Eswe abhene chamutangatie Paulo mu meli na nichija Also, Anu eswe chaliga chilamue okumugega Paulo eyo. Chinu Nicho mwenene aliga nenda okukola, ku insonga aliga alamue okugenda no kulabha kuchumu.
14 So, when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went on to Mitylene.
Ejile achikingila eyo Aso, nchimuika mu meli nichigenda Mitilene.
15 The day after we had sailed from there, we arrived off Chios, touched at Samos the following day, and the next day reached Miletus;
Okumala eswe nichiyema nichisokayo eyo na kulunaku lwa kabhili nchikinga KU lubhala lwa kabhili lwa lisinga elya Kio. Olunaku lunu lwalubhile, nichikinga kwisinga lwa Samo, na bhuchee bwendeko nchikinga mu musi gwa Mileto.
16 for Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so as to avoid spending much time in Roman Asia. He was making haste to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the Festival at the close of the Harvest.
Ku nsonga Paulo aliga alamue okulibhata no kulabha Efeso, koleleki asinge kumala mwanya gwona gwona mu Asia; kulwo kubha aliga ali no bhagu bho kwilabha Yerusalemu mu lunaku lukulu olwa Ipentekoste, alabha jakatulikene okukola kutyo.
17 From Miletus, however, he sent to Ephesus and invited the church elders to meet him;
Okusoka Mileto natuma abhanu kukinga Efeso no kubhabhilikila abhakaluka bha ikanisa.
18 and, when they came, he said to them, “You know well the life that I always led among you from the very first day that I set foot in Roman Asia,
Bhejile bhakinga ewae, nabhabhwila, emwe abhene mumenyele okusoka KU lunaku Lwo kwambha Nejile nataja Anu Asia, lwa kutyo naliga nili kwimwe mwanya gwona.
19 serving the Lord, as I did, in all humility, amid the tears and trials which fell to my lot through the plots of some of the Jewish leaders.
Nimukolee Latabugenyi mu bhololo bhona na kwa masiga, na Jinyako jinu jambhene anye mu bhwilige -lige bhwa Bhayaudi.
20 I never shrank from telling you anything that could be helpful to you, or from teaching you both in public and in private.
Mumenyele lwa kutyo niteganyishe kulasha chinu chona chona chinu chaliga cha bhusi-bhusi, na lwa kutyo anye nabheigisishe abhwel-bhwelu no kuja bhuli nyumbha.
21 I earnestly pointed both Jews and Greeks to the repentance that leads to God, and to faith in Jesus, our Lord.
Mumenyele lwa kutyo anye nagendelee okubhekengya abhayaudi na abhayunani ingulu yo kuta KU Nyamuanga ne likilisha mu Latabugenyi weswe Yesu.
22 And now, under spiritual constraint, I am here on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,
Mbe, woli Lola, anye, nikabha nimwolobhela Mwoyo Mwelu okuja Yerusalemu, nitagugamenya ganu agajokumbhona eyo,
23 except that in town after town the Holy Spirit plainly declares to me that imprisonment and troubles await me.
Mbhe nawe kulwo kubha Mwoyo Mwelu kambhabhalila anye mu bhuli musi no kwaika ati jimbhoyelo na Jinyako nibhyo bhintendesishe.
24 But I count my life of no value to myself, if only I may complete the course marked out for me, and the task that was allotted me by the Lord Jesus – which was to declare the good news of the love of God.
Mbe nawe anye nitakwinganilisha ati obhulame bhani Ni munjila yona yona kwanye Ni kwe chibhalo koleleki nikumishe olugendo lwani no bhusakisi bhunu nalamie okusoka ku Latabugenyi Yesu, okugubhambhalila omusango gwo bhwana mu chigongo cha Nyamuanga.
25 And now, I tell you, I know that none of you will ever see my face again – you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom.
Na woli, Lola, enimenya ati bhona, mu bhalya bhanu nabhasimulie obhukama, mutakundola lindi bhusu bhani.
26 Therefore I declare to you this day, that my conscience is clear in regard to the fate of any of you,
Kulwejo lelo inu enibhabhambhalila ati ntana ntabhala ku manyiga go munu wona wona.
27 for I have not shrunk from announcing the whole purpose of God regarding you.
Kulwo kubha niteganyishe okubhasimulila okwenda kwa Nyamuanga.
28 Be watchful over yourselves, and over the whole flock, of which the Holy Spirit has placed you in charge, to shepherd the church of God, which he won for himself at the cost of his life.
Kulwejo mubhe bhekengi ingulu yemwe, abhene ingulu ya liijo lyona linu Mwoyo Mwelu abhateyeko emwe okulyangalila. Mubhe bhetegelesha okulilebha elikofyanyisho lya Latabugenyi, linu agulile kwa amanyiga gae omwene.
29 I know that, after my departure, merciless wolves will get in among you, who will not spare the flock;
Nimenyele ati mukusokao kwani, jimbhwa je misege jindulu ejingila kwimwe, na bhatalisasila liijo.
30 and from among yourselves, too, people will arise, who will teach perversions of truth, so as to draw away the disciples after them.
Enimenya ati mwimwe one abhene abhandi abhaja no kwaika emisango minyamuke, koleleki okubhakwesa abheigisibhwa bhabhalubhe abhene.
31 Therefore, be on your guard, remembering how for three years, night and day, I never ceased, even with tears, to warn each one of you.
Kulwejo mwengee. Mwichuke ati KU myaka esatu nitatulile okusiga okubheigisha bhuli umwi wemwe kwa masiga mungeta na mu mwisi.
32 And now I commend you to the Lord and to the message of his love – a message which has the power to build up your characters, and to give you your place among all those who have become Christ’s people.
Naoli anye enibhatula ku Nyamuanga, na kwo musango gwe chigongo chae, gunu ogutula okubhombaka no kubhayana okulya omwandu amwi nabho bhona bhanu bhateywe ku Nyamuanga.
33 I have never coveted anyone’s gold or silver or clothing.
Nitaligie jimpilya, jaabu, amwi nebhifwalo.
34 You, yourselves, know that these hands of mine provided not only for my own wants, but for my companions also.
Omumenya emwe abhene ati amabhoko ganu nigo aganana nibhona amabhona gani omwene na mabhona ga bhalia abho bhaliga amwi nanye
35 I left nothing undone to show you that, laboring as I labored, you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said himself – ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Mu misango jone na bhayanile echijejekanyo na lwakutyo eyendibhwa okubhasakila abho bhatali na mananga go kukola emilimu, na lwakutyo jiile okwichuka emisango ja Latabhugenyi Yesu, emisango ejo omwene aikile: “Lilio libhando okusosha kukila okulamila.”
36 When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
Ejile amala okwaika jinu, afukamile no kusabhwa amwi nabho.
37 All were in tears; and throwing their arms around Paul’s neck, they kissed him again and again,
Bhona mbhalila muno no kumugwila Paulo mu bhicha no kumunyunya.
38 grieving most of all over what he had said – that they would never see his face again. Then they escorted him to the ship.
Mbhasulubhala mugona ku nsonga ya chinu aliga aikile ati, chimwi bhatachabhubhona obhusu bhani lindi. Okumala nibhamuyelegesha okuja mu melikebu.
