Acts 20
1 After the uproar ceased, Paul summoned the disciples, said goodbye, and departed to go to Macedonia.
Chitututu chila pechamaliki Pauli avakemili vamsadika vala akavakangamalisa mtima. Kangi akalagana nawu na kuhamba Makedonia.
2 After going through those regions and encouraging the believers with many words, he came to Greece,
Apitayi pandi za muji wula kuvakangamalisa vandu mitima mu malovi gaki gamahele, na kuhika ku Ugiliki.
3 where he stayed for three months. As he was about to set sail for Syria, a plot was made against him by the Jews, so the decision was made to return by way of Macedonia.
Kwenuko atamili miyehi yidatu. Hinu peajitendeleka kuhamba ku Silia, akamanya kuvya Vayawudi vavi mukumkitila mpangu uhakau, ndi akahamula kuwuya munjila ya ku Makedonia.
4 Sopater of Berea accompanied him as far as Asia, and so did Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
Vandu ava ndi vealongosini nawu, Sapato mwana wa Piho mundu wa ku Belea, Alistako na Sekundo vandu va ku Tesalonike, vangi vavi Gayo mkolonjinji ku Delibe, Timoti pamonga na Tukiko na Tofimo vandu va kuhuma muji wa Asia.
5 These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.
Vandu ava vatilongolili na kuhamba kutilindila ku Tloa kula.
6 But we sailed from Philippi after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and five days later we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
Nambu tete, pawamaliki Mselebuko wa Mabumunda gangali ngemeku, tayingili muwatu kuhuma ku Filipi, mulugendu lwa magono mhanu ndi tikahika ku Tloa. Tatamili kwenuko lijuma limonga.
7 On the first day of the week, as the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul addressed them, intending to depart the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.
Ndi Jumamosi kimihi takonganiki ndava ya kulya pamonga. Muni Pauli aganayi kuwuka chilau yaki, ndi avakokosili vandu mbaka pagati ya kilu.
8 Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered together,
Kugolofa kwetakonganiki kwavili na hahi zamahele ziyaka.
9 and a young man named Eutychus, who was sitting on the window sill, sank into a deep sleep while Paul continued speaking for a long time. Overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
Msongolo mmonga liina laki Eutuko atamili palidilisha lukumbi Pauli ikokosa palukumbi lutali. Eutiko atumbwili kutitila lugono hati pamwishu lugono lwamgalisi akagwa kuhuma ku golofa ya datu mbaka pahi. Pevahambili kumyinula vamkoli amali kufwa.
10 But Paul went down and threw himself on the young man. Taking him in his arms, he said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.”
Pauli akahuluka pahi, akajigonesa panani yaki na kumkumbatila, akajova, “Mkoto kuvemba ndava avi mumi.”
11 Then Paul went back upstairs, and after he had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with the disciples for a long time, until dawn; that was how he departed.
Akakwela kavili kuchumba cha kunani kula, akanukula libumunda na kulya. Akayendelela kukokosa kwa lukumbi lutali mbaka hambakucha, kangi akawuka.
12 And they brought the boy home alive and were comforted beyond measure.
Vandu vala vakawuya nayu msongolo yula kunyumba alamili hotohoto, ndi vakapoleswa neju.
13 Then we went to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there, for that is what he had arranged, since he himself intended to go by land.
Nambu tete tayingili muwatu kulongolela ku Aso kwetikumtola Pauli. Ndi cheapangili mwene muni aganili kuhika kwenuko munjila ya kundumba.
14 When he met us in Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.
Hinu atikolili ku Aso tikamutola muwatu, na kuhamba nayu Mitulene.
15 We set sail from there and arrived off Chios on the following day. The next day we reached Samos and stayed in Trogyllium, and the day after that we came to Miletus.
Tavi mulugendu lwa kuhuma kwenuko na chilau yaki tahikili Kio. Pamalau yaki tahikili ku Samo na Pamtondogolo yaki tikahika ku Mileto.
16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so as not to spend time in Asia, because he was hurrying to arrive in Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.
Ndava Pauli aganili lepi kuvedukila ku Efeso muni akotoka kutamakisa neju mulima wa Asia. Ayumbatika kuhika ku Yelusalemu kumselebuko wa Pentekoste ngati yihotoleka.
17 From Miletus Paul sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.
Kuhuma Mileto Pauli avatumili ujumbi kwa vachilongosi va msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va ku Efeso vakonganika nayu.
18 When they came to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the day I first set foot in Asia,
Hinu pavamhikalili akavajovela, mwavene mmanyili chenitamili na nyenye magono goha kutumbula ligono la kutumbula panahikili mulima uwu wa Asia.
19 serving the Lord with all humility and with many tears and trials, which came upon me because of the plots of the Jews.
Mmanyili chenimuhengili Bambu cha ungolongondi woha, na maholi, mu mang'ahiso goha geganikolili ndava mipangu mihakau ya Vayawudi.
20 You know that I did not hold back from declaring to you anything that was beneficial, and from teaching you in public and from house to house,
Mmanyili kuvya hati padebe nayogwipi lepi kuvakokosela pavandu na munyumba zinu, kuvawula chochoha chechikuvatangatila.
21 testifying to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.
Navabesili vandu voha, Vayawudi na vangali Vayawudi, vamuwuyila Chapanga na kumsadika Bambu witu Yesu.
22 And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, compelled by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there,
Hinu, myuwanila! Nikumyidakila Mpungu Msopi, nihamba ku Yelusalemu changali kumanya gegakunikolela.
23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me.
Nga chindu chimonga chenikuchimanya, Mpungu Msopi akunilangisa kuvya mukila muji chifungu na mang'ahiso ndi vyevyi kunilindila.
24 But I take no account of these things, nor do I regard my life as precious to myself, if only I may complete my course with joy and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Nambu nivalanga lepi wumi wangu kuvya chindu, kwa nene ndi kumalakisa utumi wa lihengu lila leanipelili Bambu Yesu, kujova ndava ya Lilovi la Bwina la ubwina wa Chapanga.
25 “And now, behold, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom of God will see my face again.
“Nigendili pagati yinu mwavoha kukokosa Unkosi wa Chapanga. Nambu hinu, nimanyili avi lepi mundu hati mmonga winu mweakuniwona kavili.
26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of you all.
Hinu lelu nijova chakaka, kuvya mmonga winu akayaga, mhalu wa nene lepi.
27 For I have not held back from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
Ndava muni hata padebe naleki lepi kuvakokosela mwapangu woha wa Chapanga.
28 So keep watch over yourselves and over the entire flock. The Holy Spirit has appointed you as their overseers, to shepherd the church of our Lord and God, which he obtained with his own blood.
Mujiyangalila mwavene, myungayi msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu uwu, Mpungu Msopi avaviki nyenye mvya valonda vaki. Leajipatili kwa ngasi ya Mwana waki.
29 For I know that after my departure fierce wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Nimanyili kuvya peniwukayi, mabwa gakali ga kudahi yati gavazangila changali lipyana msambi wenuwo.
30 Even from your own number men will rise up, speaking perverse things to draw the disciples away after them.
Hati pagati yinu yati vihumila vandu veviwula mawuliwu ga udese muni vavayaganisa vamsadika, vavalanda vene.
31 Therefore be watchful, remembering that, night and day, for three years I did not stop admonishing each one of you, with tears.
Ndava ya yeniyo, mvya mihu kuni mukumbukayi kuvya mulukumbi lwa miyaka yidatu muhi na kilu katu nalekili lepi kumbesa kila mmonga winu kwa maholi.”
32 And now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.
“Hinu ndi, nikuvavika nyenye pahi muulonda waki Chapanga na ujumbi wa mota yaki. Mwene anauhotola wa kuvasindimalisa na kuvapela uhali pamonga nawu vandu vaki vamsopi.
33 I coveted no one's silver, gold, or clothing.
Nene nanogili lepi mashonga amala zahabu amala nyula za mundu yeyoha.
34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine ministered to my own needs and to the needs of those who were with me.
Mwavene mmanyili kuvya namwene nihegili lihengu mu mawoko gangu, ndava ya kupata gegiganikiwa kwa nene na vayangu.
35 In all things I have shown you that we must labor in this way and help those who are weak, remembering what the Lord Jesus himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Pamahele nivalangisi luhumu kuvya kuhenga mahengu neju, yikutigana kuvatangatila vangali makakala, na tikumbuka mu malovi ga Bambu Yesu mwene, ‘Mbanga neju kuwusa kuliku kupokela.’”
36 After saying these things, Paul knelt down and prayed with them all.
Peamali kujova genago, Pauli akafugama pamonga nawu voha akayupa kwa Chapanga.
37 There was much weeping among them all, and they threw their arms around Paul's neck and kissed him,
Voha vakavya mukuvemba neju, pevalaga Pauli kuni vamkumbatili cha uganu.
38 being especially grieved over his statement that they would see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
Lijambu lelavavinisi neju ndi lila leajovili yati vakumlola lepi kavili. Hinu ndi vamhindikili mbaka muwatu.
