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.
Shure kwekuguma kwemhirizhonga, Pauro akadanira kwaari vadzidzi, akavambundikira, akabuda kuti aende kuMakedhonia.
2 Passing through those parts, however, and exhorting them with much discourse, he came into Greece;
Zvino wakati agura nemativi iwawo, avakurudzira nemashoko mazhinji, akasvika kuGirisi,
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.
akati agara mwedzi mitatu, rangano yaitwa neVaJudha pamusoro pake, ava kuda kuenda kuSiriya nechikepe, akazvipira kudzokera nemuMakedhonia.
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.
Zvino Sopatro weBheriya wakamuperekedza kusvika kuAsia, neveVaTesaronika, Arisitako naSekundo, naGayo weDhebhe, naTimotio, uye Tikiko naTrofimo VaAsia.
5 And, these, came and were waiting for us at Troas.
Ava vakatungamira vakatimirira paTroasi.
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.
Asi isu takabva Firipi nechikepe mushure memazuva ezvingwa zvisina mbiriso, zvino takasvika kwavari paTroasi mumazuva mashanu, patakagara mazuva manomwe.
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.
Zvino nemusi wekutanga wevhiki, vadzidzi vakaungana kumedura chingwa, Pauro akaparidza kwavari, achida kubva chifume, akaredzva nhaurwa kusvikira pakati peusiku.
8 Now there were a good many torches in the upper room, where we were gathered together.
Zvino kwakange kune mwenje mizhinji mukamuri yekumusoro mavakange vakaungana.
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.
Zvino pahwindo pakange pagere rimwe jaya rainzi Yutikosi, rikabatwa nehope kwazvo, Pauro wakati achiparidza nguva refu, iro rikakundwa nehope, rikawira pasi, kubva panhurikwa yechitatu, ndokunongwa rafa.
10 Going down, however, Paul fell upon him, and, embracing him, said—Be not making confusion; for, his soul, is, in him.
Zvino Pauro akaburuka akazviwisira pamusoro paro, akarimbundikira akati: Musazvinetsa; nokuti mweya waro uri mariri.
11 And, going up, and breaking the loaf, and tasting, —for a good while also conversing, until dawn, thus, he departed.
Wakati akwirazve ndokumedura chingwa ndokudya, akataura navo nguva refu kusvikira kuchiedza, saizvozvo wakaenda.
12 And they brought the boy alive, and were comforted beyond measure.
Zvino vakauya nemukomana ari mupenyu, vakanyaradzwa zvisati zviri zvishoma.
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.
Asi isu, takatungamira kuchikepe, tikaenda nechikepe kuAso, takananga kukwidza Pauro ipapo; nokuti wakange aronga saizvozvo, iye achitarisira kufamba netsoka.
14 And, when he fell in with us in Assos, we took him on board, and came into Mitylene;
Zvino wakati asangana nesu paAso, tikamukwidza tikasvika kuMitirene,
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.
tikabva ipapo nechikepe, chifume tikasvika pakatarisana neKiyo; chifume tikasvika paSamo; ndokugara paTrogiriamu, chifume tikasvika Mireto.
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.
Nokuti Pauro wakange akazvipira kupfuura Efeso nechikepe, kuti asapedza nguva paAsia; nokuti waimhanya, kana zvichibvira kwaari, ave paJerusarema nezuva rePendekosita.
17 But, from Miletus, he sent unto Ephesus, and called for the elders of the assembly.
Zvino ari paMireto wakatumira kuEfeso akadanira vakuru vekereke kwaari.
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,
Zvino vakati vasvika kwaari, akati kwavari: Imwi munoziva kubva pazuva rekutanga randakasvika muAsia, kuti ndakava nemwi sei nguva dzese,
19 doing service unto the Lord, with all humility and tears, and temptations which befell me through the plots of the Jews:
ndichibatira Ishe nekuzvininipisa kwese uye nemisodzi mizhinji, nemiedzo yakandiwira nerangano dzeVaJudha;
20 in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes;
kuti handina sei kuvanza zvezvingabatsira, kusakuparidzirai nekukudzidzisai pachena uye muimba neimba,
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.
ndichipupura zvese kuVaJudha nekuVaGiriki kutendeukira kuna Mwari, nerutendo kuna Ishe wedu Jesu Kristu.
22 And, now, lo! I, bound in my spirit, am journeying unto Jerusalem; the things which therein shall befall me, not knowing, —
Zvino ikozvino tarirai, ini ndinoenda kuJerusarema ndakasungwa neMweya, ndisingazivi zvichandiwira mariri,
23 save that, the Holy Spirit, from city to city, doth bear me full witness, saying that, bonds and tribulations, await me.
kunze kwekuti Mweya Mutsvene anopupura muguta rimwe nerimwe achiti zvisungo nenhamo zvakandigarira.
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.
Asi handirangariri chinhu pane izvi, uye handiverengeri upenyu hwangu kuti chinhu chinokosha kwandiri kuti ndipedze rwendo rwangu nemufaro nebasa randakagamuchira kuna Ishe Jesu rekupupura evhangeri yenyasha dzaMwari.
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.
Zvino ikozvino tarirai, ini ndinoziva kuti imwi mese, vandakafamba pakati penyu ndichiparidza ushe hwaMwari, hamuchazooni chiso changu.
26 Wherefore I take you to witness, on this very day, that, pure am I from the blood of all;
Naizvozvo ndinopupura kwamuri nezuva ranhasi, kuti ini ndakachena paropa revese;
27 for I have not shrunk from announcing all the counsel of God unto you.
nokuti handina kuvanza kwekusakuparidzirai zano rese raMwari.
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.
Naizvozvo zvichenjererei imwi, neboka rese Mweya Mutsvene paakakugadzai vatariri pamusoro paro, kuti mufudze kereke yaMwari, yaakatenga neropa rake amene.
29 I, know, that there will enter, after my departure, grievous wolves into your midst, not sparing the little flock;
Nokuti ini ndinoziva izvi, kuti shure kwekuenda kwangu mapumhi anorura achapinda pakati penyu, asingaregi boka;
30 and, from among your own selves, will arise men speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.
uye kubva pamuri imwi momene pachamuka varume vachataura zvinhu zvinotsausa, kuti vakwezve vadzidzi vavatevere.
31 Wherefore, be on the watch, remembering that, for three years, night and day, I gave myself no rest, with tears, admonishing each one.
Naizvozvo rindai, murangarire kuti kwemakore matatu handina kuguma siku nesikati kuyambira umwe neumwe nemisodzi.
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.
Uye ikozvino hama, ndinokukumikidzai kuna Mwari nekushoko renyasha dzake, iye anogona kukuvakai, nekukupai nhaka pakati pevese vakaitwa vatsvene.
33 The silver or gold or apparel of no one, did I covet:
Handina kuchiva sirivheri kana goridhe kana nguvo yemunhu.
34 yourselves, acknowledge that, for my necessities and for those who were with me, hard wrought these hands!
Imwiwo momene munoziva kuti maoko awa akabatira kushaiwa kwangu nekwevaiva neni.
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!
Pazvinhu zvese ndakakuratidzai, kuti muchibata saizvozvi munofanira kubatsira vane utera, nekurangarira mashoko aIshe Jesu, kuti iye wakati: Kwakaropafadzwa kupa kupfuura kugamuchira.
36 And, these things saying, kneeling down with them all, he prayed.
Zvino wakati ataura zvinhu izvi, akafugama, akanyengetera navo vese.
37 And they all wept much, and, falling upon Paul’s neck, they were tenderly kissing him;
Kukava nekuchema kwavo vese kukuru; vakawira pamutsipa waPauro vakamutsvoda,
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.
vachishungurudzika zvikuru neshoko raakataura, kuti havachazooni chiso chake. Zvino vakamuperekedza kuchikepe.
