Acts 20
1 But, after the tumult had ceased, Paul, sending for the disciples and exhorting them, took leave, and went forth to be journeying unto Macedonia.
Awo akasasamalo bwe kakkakkana, Pawulo n’atumya abayigirizwa, ne bakuŋŋaana, n’ababuulira ekigambo kya Katonda ng’abasiibula n’okubagumya, n’alyoka asitula n’alaga mu Makedoniya.
2 Passing through those parts, however, and exhorting them with much discourse, he came into Greece;
N’agenda ng’ayitaayita mu bitundu ebyo ng’ayogera n’abantu ebigambo bingi eby’okubagumya n’okubanyiikiza mu kukkiriza kwabwe. Oluvannyuma n’atuuka mu Buyonaani,
3 and, spending three months, when a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he was about to sail to Syria, he determined to turn back through Macedonia.
n’amalamu emyezi esatu. Bwe yali ateekateeka okusaabala ku nnyanja okulaga mu Siriya, n’avumbula olukwe Abayudaaya lwe baali basaze okumutta, kyeyava asalawo okuddayo mu Makedoniya gy’aba ayita.
4 Now there were accompanying him, Sopater, son of Pyrrhus a Beroean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy; and, of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
Abaamuwerekerako mu lugendo olwo okutuuka mu Asiya, be bano: Sopateri Omuberoya mutabani wa Puulo, ne Alisutaluuko ne Sekundo Abasessaloniika, ne Gaayo Omuderube, ne Timoseewo, n’Abasiya, Tukiko ne Tulofiimo.
5 And, these, came and were waiting for us at Troas.
Oluvannyuma bano bonna ne batukulembera ne batulinda e Tulowa.
6 And, we, sailed forth, after the days of unleavened bread, from Philippi, and came unto them in Troas in five days, where we tarried seven days.
Ne tusaabala ku nnyanja okuva e Firipi nga tumaze embaga ey’Emigaati Egitazimbulukuswa, ne tumala ku nnyanja ennaku ttaano, bannaffe ne tubatuukako mu Tulowa ne tumalawo ennaku musanvu.
7 And, on the first of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul went on to discourse with them, being about to depart on the morrow; and he prolonged his discourse until midnight.
Awo olumu ku nnaku za ssabbiiti, bwe twali tukuŋŋaanye okumenya omugaati, Pawulo n’abaako bye yali abayigiriza. Naye olwokubanga enkeera yali asitula, n’ayogerera ebbanga ddene nnyo, n’atuusa mu ttumbi ng’akyayogera!
8 Now there were a good many torches in the upper room, where we were gathered together.
Mu kisenge ekya waggulu mwe twali tukuŋŋaanidde mwalimu ettaala nnyingi nga zaaka.
9 And there sat, a certain young man by name Eutychus, in the window, who was getting overpowered by a deep sleep; and, while Paul was discoursing yet further, being overpowered by his sleep, he fell, from the third story, down, and was taken up dead.
Waaliwo omuvubuka erinnya lye Yutuko, eyali atudde mu ddirisa, otulo ne tumukwata. Pawulo bwe yalwawo ng’akyayogera, omuvubuka ne yeebakira ddala, okutuusa lwe yasimattuka mu ddirisa ku mwaliiro ogwokusatu n’agwa ebweru n’afiirawo.
10 Going down, however, Paul fell upon him, and, embracing him, said—Be not making confusion; for, his soul, is, in him.
Pawulo n’akka wansi n’amusitula n’amuwambaatira mu mikono gye. N’agamba nti, “Temweraliikirira, mulamu!”
11 And, going up, and breaking the loaf, and tasting, —for a good while also conversing, until dawn, thus, he departed.
Awo bonna ne baddayo waggulu ne bamenya omugaati ne balya. Pawulo ne yeyongera okwogera okutuusiza ddala obudde okukya, n’alyoka asitula n’agenda.
12 And they brought the boy alive, and were comforted beyond measure.
Ne baddamu amaanyi, n’omuvubuka ne bamutwala eka nga mulamu.
13 And, we, going forward unto the ship, set sail for Assos, from thence being about to take up Paul; for, so, had he arranged, being about, himself, to go on foot.
Awo Pawulo ne tumukulembera ne tusaabala ku nnyanja okulaga mu Aso, Pawulo nga bwe yali ateeseteese, kubanga ye yali ateeseteese kuyita ku lukalu.
14 And, when he fell in with us in Assos, we took him on board, and came into Mitylene;
Bwe yatusisinkana mu Aso, ne tutuuka e Mituleene.
15 and, from thence sailing away on the morrow, we came over against Chios, and, on the next day, we thrust aside into Samos, and, on the succeeding day, we came into Miletus.
Bwe twava eyo ne tuwunguka olunaku olwaddirira ne tutuuka mu kifo ekyolekedde Kiyo. Ne ku lunaku olwaddirira ne tusala ne tudda e Samo, ne ku lunaku olwaddirira ne tutuuka e Mireeto.
16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, lest he should happen to lose time in Asia; for he hastened, if it were possible for him, against the day of Pentecost, to arrive, in Jerusalem.
Pawulo yali asazeewo obutayimirira mu Efeso nga yeewala okumala ekiseera ekinene mu Asiya, kubanga yali yeeyuna nti ssinga asobola, atuuke mu Yerusaalemi ng’olunaku lwa Pentekoote terunnatuuka.
17 But, from Miletus, he sent unto Ephesus, and called for the elders of the assembly.
Bwe yatuuka e Mireeto, n’atumira abakadde b’Ekkanisa ya Efeso bajje bamulabe.
18 And, when they were come to him, he said unto them—Ye yourselves, well know, from the first day when I set foot in Asia, in what manner came to be with you all the time,
Awo bwe baatuuka Pawulo n’agamba nti, “Mumanyi bulungi ng’okuva ku lunaku lwe natuukirako mu Asiya n’okutuusa leero,
19 doing service unto the Lord, with all humility and tears, and temptations which befell me through the plots of the Jews:
nkoze omulimu gwa Mukama mmuweereza n’obuwombeefu n’amaziga n’okugezesebwa ebyantukako olw’enkwe z’Abayudaaya.
20 in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes;
Naye saalekayo kubabuulira bituufu eby’okubayamba, bwe twabanga tukuŋŋaanye oba bwe najjanga mu maka gammwe,
21 bearing full witness, both to Jews and to Greeks, as to the repentance due unto God, and as to belief on our Lord Jesus.
nga ntegeeza Abayudaaya n’Abayonaani okwenenya badde eri Katonda, n’okuba n’okukkiriza mu Mukama waffe Yesu.
22 And, now, lo! I, bound in my spirit, am journeying unto Jerusalem; the things which therein shall befall me, not knowing, —
“Ne kaakano laba nsibiddwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu, ŋŋenda e Yerusaalemi nga simanyi binaantukako nga ndi eyo.
23 save that, the Holy Spirit, from city to city, doth bear me full witness, saying that, bonds and tribulations, await me.
Wabula Mwoyo Mutukuvu antegeeza nti okusibibwa n’okubonyaabonyezebwa binnindiridde mu buli kibuga.
24 But, for no cause whatever, am I making my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to bear full witness as to the good news of the favour of God.
Naye obulamu bwange sibutwala kuba nga kya muwendo gye ndi, ndyoke ntuukirize omulimu gwange, n’obuweereza bwe nnaweebwa Mukama waffe Yesu, okutegeezanga Enjiri ey’ekisa kya Katonda.
25 And, now, lo! I, know that, no more, shall ye see my face, —ye all, among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom.
“Ne kaakano mmanyi nga temukyaddayo kundaba nate, mwenna be natambulamu nga mbuulira obwakabaka.
26 Wherefore I take you to witness, on this very day, that, pure am I from the blood of all;
Noolwekyo mbategeeza leero nti sirina kyenvunaanwa olw’omusaayi gwa bonna,
27 for I have not shrunk from announcing all the counsel of God unto you.
kubanga sirina na kimu kye nalekayo nga mbabuulira okwagala kwa Katonda.
28 Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers, —to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.
Mwekumenga era mukuumenga n’ekisibo kyonna Mwoyo Mutukuvu mwe yabateeka okuba abalabirizi okulabiriranga Ekkanisa ya Katonda gye yeegulira n’omusaayi gwe.
29 I, know, that there will enter, after my departure, grievous wolves into your midst, not sparing the little flock;
Mmanyi nga bwe ndigenda, emisege emikambwe giribayingiramu, era tegirisaasira kisibo.
30 and, from among your own selves, will arise men speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.
Ne mu mmwe bennyini mulivaamu abasajja aboogera ebintu ebikyamu, okwefunira abayigirizwa abanaabagobereranga.
31 Wherefore, be on the watch, remembering that, for three years, night and day, I gave myself no rest, with tears, admonishing each one.
Noolwekyo mwekuume. Mujjukire nga bwe nababuulirira nga nkaaba amaziga okumala emyaka esatu, emisana n’ekiro, ne mundeeta n’amaziga.
32 Now, therefore, I commend you unto the Lord, and unto his word of favour, —which is able to build up and give the inheritance among all the hallowed ones.
“Kaakano mbasigira Katonda n’ekigambo eky’ekisa kye ebiyinza okubazimba n’okubawa omugabo mu abo bonna abaatukuzibwa.
33 The silver or gold or apparel of no one, did I covet:
Siyaayaaniranga ffeeza newaakubadde zaabu wadde engoye eby’omuntu n’omu.
34 yourselves, acknowledge that, for my necessities and for those who were with me, hard wrought these hands!
Mmwe bennyini mumanyi nti neetuusizaako ebyetaago byange n’eby’abo bendi nabo.
35 In all things, I gave you to understand, that, thus toiling, it behoves to be helping the weak, also to be keeping in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, that, he himself, said—Happy is it, rather to give than to receive!
Mbalaze mu buli kintu nga mu kukola n’amaanyi, kibagwanira okuyamba abanafu, ate n’okujjukira ebigambo bya Mukama waffe Yesu bye yayogera nti, ‘Okugaba kwa mukisa okusinga okuweebwa.’”
36 And, these things saying, kneeling down with them all, he prayed.
Awo Pawulo bwe yamala okwogera ebyo, n’afukamira n’asaba nabo bonna.
37 And they all wept much, and, falling upon Paul’s neck, they were tenderly kissing him;
Buli omu n’akaaba nnyo amaziga, ne bamugwa mu kifuba okumusiibula,
38 being most distressed for the word which he had said, —That, no more, should they, his face, behold. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
nga banakuwavu, naye okusinga byonna olw’ekigambo kye yayogera nti, Tebakyaddayo kumulaba. Ne bamuwerekerako ne bamutuusa ku kyombo.
