Acts 20
1 When the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples; and, after speaking words of encouragement to them, he took his leave, and started for Macedonia.
Baada jha ghasia kumalika, Paulo akabhakuta bhanafunzi ni kubhapela muoyo. Kisha kubhalagha ni kubhoka kulota Makedonia.
2 Passing through those districts he encouraged the disciples in frequent addresses, and then came into Greece, and spent three months there.
Ni muene bho apetili mikoa ejhu na akajha akabhapela muoyo bhaamini, akajhingila Uyunani.
3 The Jews having planned to waylay him whenever he might be on the point of taking ship for Syria, he decided to travel back by way of Macedonia.
Baada jha muene kujha pala kwa muda ghwa miesi midatu njama syaundibhu dhidi jha muene ni bhayahudi bho bhapeliki ikaribila kubhoka ku njela jha bahari kulotela Shamu, hivyo jhandondiki kukerebhuka kupetela Makedonia.
4 He was accompanied as far as the province of Asia by Sopater the Beroean, the son of Pyrrhus; by the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; by Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and by the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.
Bhaandamene naku hadi Asia bhajhele Sopatro, mwana ghwa Pirho kuhoma Berea; Aristariko ni Sekundo, bhoha kuhoma bhaamini bha Bhathesalonike; Gayo ghwa Derbe; Timotheo; Tikiko ni Trofimo kuhoma Asia.
5 These brethren had gone on and were waiting for us in the Troad.
Lakini bhanu abha bhamalikulongolela na bhatulendeleghe kula Troa.
6 But we ourselves sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined them in the Troad, where we remained for a week.
Kwa njela jha bahari kuhoma Filipi baada jha magono gha mikate ghyaghisopibhu lepi chachu, ni mu magono mahanu twabhafikili okhu Troa. Twatamili okhu kwa magono saba.
7 On the first day of the week, when we had met to break bread, Paul, who was going away the next morning, was preaching to them, and prolonged his discourse till midnight.
Hata ligono lya kuanza lya juma, bho tubhonganiki pamonga ili kuumetula n'kate, Paulo alongelili ni bhaumini. Akajha apangili kubhoka ligono lya kilabhu lyake, Efyo akajhendelela kulongela hadi kiru kya manane.
8 Now there were a good many lamps in the room upstairs where we all were,
Kwajhele ni taa simehele mu kichumba kya panani ambapo twajhele tubhonganiki pamonga.
9 and a youth of the name of Eutychus was sitting at the window. This lad, gradually sinking into deep sleep while Paul preached at unusual length, overcome at last by sleep, fell from the second floor and was taken up dead.
Mu ridirisha ajhele atamili n'songolo mmonga lihina lya muene Utiko, ambajhe uelemibhu ni lugono. Hata Paulo bho ihutubila kwa muda mrefu, n'songolo ojho, ajhele amalikugona, akabina pasi kuhoma ghorofa jha tatu na aholibhu bho amalikufwa.
10 Paul, however, went down, threw himself upon him, and folding him in his arms said, "Do not be alarmed; his life is still in him."
Lakini Paulo akaselela pasi akinyosi muene panani pa muene, akan'kumbatila. Kisha akajobha, “Msikati tamaa kwandabha ujhe hai.”
11 Then he went upstairs again, broke bread, and took some food; and after a long conversation which was continued till daybreak, at last he parted from them.
Kisha akakwela kabhele ghorofani na akaumetula n'kate akalya. Baada jha kulongela nabhu kwa muda mrefu hadi lubhuliku, akabhoka.
12 They had taken the lad home alive, and were greatly comforted.
Bhakandeta n'songolo jhola ajhe muomi bhafarijiki sana.
13 The rest of us had already gone on board a ship, and now we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there; for so he had arranged, he himself intending to go by land.
Twebhene twalongolili palongolo jha Paulo kwa meli ni kulota Aso, ambapo tete tulondeghe kun'tola Paulo okhu. Ekhe ndo muene kyaalondeghe kubhomba, kwandabha apangi kubhomba kulota kupetela pandema.
14 Accordingly, when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.
Bhoatufikili okhu Aso, twampaki mu meli tukalota Mitilene.
15 Sailing from there, we arrived the next day off Chios. On the next we touched at Samos; and on the day following reached Miletus.
Kisha tete tukatweka kuhoma okhu na ligono lya bhubhele twafikili lubhafu lwa bhubhele bhwa kisiwa kya Kio. Ligono lyalyafwatili twafikili kisiwa kya Samo, ni kilabhu jhiake twafikili mji bhwa Mileto.
16 For Paul's plan was to sail past Ephesus, so as not to spend much time in the province of Asia; since he was very desirous of being in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of the Harvest Festival.
Kwandabha Paulo aamuili kusafiri kup'etela Efeso, ili kwamba asitumili muda bhwobhwoha mu Asia; kwandabha ajhe ni hangara jha kubhwahi Yerusalemu kwandabha jha sikukuu jha Pentekoste, kama ngajhibhwesekene muene kubhomba naha.
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus for the Elders of the Church to come to him.
Kuhoma Mileto akalaghisya bhanu hadi Efeso ni kubhakuta bhaseya bhakanisa.
18 Upon their arrival he said to them, "You Elders well know, from the first day of my setting foot in the province of Asia, the kind of life I lived among you the whole time,
Bho bhafikili kwa muene akabhajobhela, muenga mwebhene mmanyili kuhoma ligono lya kuanza bho nikanyi apaAsia, jinsi kyanijhe kwa muenga muda bhuoha.
19 serving the Lord in all humility, and with tears, and amid trials which came upon me through the plotting of the Jews--
Nintumikili Bwana kwa unyenyekevu bhoha ni kwa mahosi, ni mateso ghaghanikabhili nene kwa hila sya bhayahudi.
20 and that I never shrank from declaring to you anything that was profitable, or from teaching you in public and in your homes,
Mmanyilijinsi ambafyo nakizuililepi kutangasya kwa muenga khenu kyokyoha ambakyo kyajhele muhimu, na jinsi nene kyanibhemenyisi waziwazi na kabhele kulota nyumba kwa nyumba.
21 and urging upon both Jews and Greeks the necessity of turning to God and of believing in Jesus our Lord.
Mumanyili jinsi nene kyanikajhendelili kubhaonya bhayahudi ni bhayunani juu jha toba kwa K'yara ni imani kwa Bwana bhitu Yesu.
22 "And now, impelled by a sense of duty, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,
Na henu, mulangayi, nene, nikantii Roho mtakatifu kulotela Yerusalemu, nisighamanyi mambo ambagho ghibetakunitokela nene okhu,
23 except that the Holy Spirit, at town after town, testifies to me that imprisonment and suffering are awaiting me.
ila kwa kujha Roho mtakatifu ikanishuhudila nene mu khila mji na ijobha kujha minyororo ni malombosi ndo fikanilendela.
24 But even the sacrifice of my life I count as nothing, if only I may perfect my earthly course, and be faithful to the duty which the Lord Jesus has entrusted to me of proclaiming, as of supreme importance, the Good News of God's grace.
Lakini nene nafikiriri lepi kujha maisha ghangu ndo kwa njela jhojhioha jha thamani kwa nene, ili nibhwesiajhi kumala mwendo bhwangu ni huduma jhenipokili kuhoma kwa Bwana Yesu, kushuhudila injili jha neema jha K'yara.
25 "And now, I know that none of you among whom I have gone in and out proclaiming the coming of the Kingdom will any longer see my face.
Ni henu, langayi, nimanyili kujha bhoha, miongoni mwa bhala bhanitolili kubhahubiri Ufalme, mwibetalepi kunibhona pamihu kabhele.
26 Therefore I protest to you to-day that I am not responsible for the ruin of any one of you.
Kwa hiyo nikabhashuhudila lelu ejhe, kujha nijhelepi ni hatia ni damu jha munu jhejhioha jhola.
27 For I have not shrunk from declaring to you God's whole truth.
Kwandabha nakizuili lepi kubhatangasila mapenzi ghoha gha K'yara.
28 "Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock among which the Holy Spirit has placed you to take the oversight for Him and act as shepherds to the Church of God, which He has bought with His own blood.
Kwa hiyo mujhelayi mwebhaangalifu juu jha jhomu mwibhene, ni juu jha likundi lyoha ambalyo Roho mtakatifu abhabhekili muenga kujha bhaangalizi. Mujhelayi bhaangalifu kulilolela likusanyiku lya Bwana ambalyo alihemili kwa damu jha muene.
29 I know that, when I am gone, cruel wolves will come among you and will not spare the flock;
Nimanyili kujha baada jha kubhoka kwa nene mbwa mwitu bhakali bhibheta kujhingila kwa muenga, na bhasilihurumili likundi.
30 and that from among your own selves men will rise up who will seek with their perverse talk to draw away the disciples after them.
Nimanyili kwamba hata miongoni mwa jhomu mwebhene baadhi jha bhanu bhibeta kuhida ni kujobha mambo manofulepi, ili kubhafuta bhanafunzi bhabhakesiajhi bhene.
31 Therefore be on the alert; and remember that, night and day, for three years, I never ceased admonishing every one, even with tears.
Henu, mujhelayi mihu. Mukhombokayi kujha kwa miaka midatu nalekilepi kubhafundisha kila mmonga bhinu kwa mahosi kiru ni pamusi.
32 "And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace. He is able to build you up and to give you your inheritance among His people.
Ni henu nene nikabhakabisi kwa K'yara, ni kwa lilobhi lya neema jha muene, ambalyo libhwesya kubhajenga ni kubhapela urithi pamonga nabhu bhoha bhabhabhekibhu bhakfu kwa K'yara.
33 No one's silver or gold or clothing have I coveted.
Natamanilepi hela, dhahabu, au maguanda.
34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have provided for my own necessities and for the people with me.
Mmanyili mwebhene kujha mabhoko agha inipelili mahitaji ghangu nejhoni ni mahitaji gha bhala bhabhajhe pamonga nani.
35 In all things I have set you an example, showing you that, by working as I do, you ought to help the weak, and to bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, "'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
Mu mambo agha nabhapelili mfano bhwa jinsi kyajhilondeka kubhasaidila bhanyonge kwa kubhomba mbombo, na jinsi kyamwilondeka kukhomboka malobhi gha Bwana Yesu, malobhi ambagho muene ajobhili: “Heri kupisya kuliko kupokela.”
36 Having spoken thus, Paul knelt down and prayed with them all;
Baada jha kujobha namna ejhe, apigili magoti akas'oka pamonga nabhu.
37 and with loud lamentation they all threw their arms round his neck, and kissed him lovingly,
Bhoha bhakalela sana ni kumbinila Paulo mu n'singu ni kumbusu.
38 grieved above all things at his having told them that after that day they were no longer to see his face. And they went with him to the ship.
Bhahuzuniki zaidi jha ghoha kwandabha jha khela ambakyo ajobhili, kwamba kamwe bhibetalepi kubhubhona uso bhwa muene kabhele. Kisha bhakan'sindikila Merikebuni.
