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.
Payiperiti ndewu ilii Paulu kawashemiti pamwera waumini walii, kawagambira visoweru vya kawayupa moyu. Shakapanu kawagambira kwahere, kagenda Makedoniya.
2 Passing through those districts he encouraged the disciples in frequent addresses, and then came into Greece, and spent three months there.
Kapitiriti Seemu zya isi zilii kankuwayupa wantu moyu kwa visoweru vitangala. Shakapanu kasokiti Akaya.
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.
Kweni katamiti kwa myezi mitatu. Pakaweriti kankulitanda kugenda Siriya, kayambuliti handa Wayawudi waweriti wankumtendera mpangu mdoda, hangu kaamuwiti kuwuya kwa kupitira Makedoniya
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.
Sopata, mwana gwa Piru, kulawa Beroya, wagenditi pamwera nayomberi, viraa Alisitariku na Sekundi kulawa Tesaloniki, Gayu kulawa Deribi, Timotewu, Tukiku na Tirofimu, kulawa mkowa gwa Asiya, na Timotewu
5 These brethren had gone on and were waiting for us in the Troad.
Awa watulonguliti na kutuhepera Trowa kulii.
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.
Tukweniti meli kulawa Filipi payipititi sikukuwi ya Mabumunda gankali kulekera simika, na pa mashaka mhanu shakapanu tuliwoniti pamwera Trowa kulii. Aku tulikaliti kwa shipindi sha lijuma limu.
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.
Jumamosi pashimii tuliwoniti tumegi libumunda. Toziya Paulu kafiriti kuwuka shirawu yakuwi, kawabweliriti wantu na kwendeleya kuyowera nawomberi mpaka pashiru pa ligonu.
8 Now there were a good many lamps in the room upstairs where we all were,
Vikoloboyi vivuwa viweriti viyaka mmpindi mushindambi Mshumba pawaweriti wankuliwona.
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.
Mndemba yumu litawu lyakuwi Eutuku kaweriti kalivaga palidilisha shipindi Paulu pakaweriti kankwendereya kubwera, Eutuku kanjiti kusizira shididini shididini mpaka mbota zimpata, kapatuka pasi kulawa mgolofa ya tatu. Wamlopoziya kahowiti kala.
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."
Kumbiti Paulu kasulukiti pasi, kasuntamala, kamkisikira na kulonga “Namwina lyoga mana kwana ukomu wankali mngati mwakuwi.”
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.
Shakapanu kakwena kayi mligolofa, kalimega libumunda, kaliya. Kendeleyiti kubwera kwa shipindi shivuwa mpaka mandawira putiputi, shakapanu kawuka.
12 They had taken the lad home alive, and were greatly comforted.
Wantu walii wamtoliti mndemba ulii ukaya pakiwa mkomu nakamu. Wapata shinyamaliru shikulu.
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.
Twenga tukweniti meli tulonguliriti kugenda Asu kweni twangamtoliti Paulu. Katugambiriti tutendi ntambu ayi, mana kafiriti kwiza aku kwa kupitira isi iyuma.
14 Accordingly, when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.
Shipindi pakatuwoniti Asu kulii, tumkweniziya mmeli, tugenda Mituleni.
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.
Kulawa aku tugenditi tusoka kiu shirawu yakuwi. Lishaka lya pili, tusulusiyiti nanga Samu na shirawu yakuwi tusokiti Miletu.
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.
Paulu kaweriti kafira kwendeleya na mwanja kwa meli pota kuwuyira Efesu su nakakawalira nentu aku Asiya. Kaweriti na kanongola ya kusoka Yerusalemu kwa sikukuwi ya Pentekosti handa iwezikana.
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus for the Elders of the Church to come to him.
Kulawa Miletu Paulu katumiti ujumbi Efesu, kwa wazewi wa shipinga sha yawamjimira Yesu waliwoni nayomberi.
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,
Pawawuyiti kwakuwi, kawagambiriti, “Muvimana ntambu yandamiti na mwenga pashiru poseri kwanjira mulishaka lilii lya kwanja pansokiti Asiya.
19 serving the Lord in all humility, and with tears, and amid trials which came upon me through the plotting of the Jews--
Muvimana ntambu yanumtenderiti Mtuwa kwa unanaga woseri, kwa masozi na maholu gambatiti kulawirana na mipangu ya ufyangu ya Wayawudi.
20 and that I never shrank from declaring to you anything that was profitable, or from teaching you in public and in your homes,
Muvimana handa hapeni nzindi ata shididini kuwabwelera paweru na mkaya mwamwennga na kuwafundeni shoseri shakuwatangitileni.
21 and urging upon both Jews and Greeks the necessity of turning to God and of believing in Jesus our Lord.
Nuwaberiziya mwawoseri Wayawudi, viraa na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi wamgalambukiri Mlungu na kuwera na njimiru mu Mtuwa gwetu 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 vinu, mumpikinireni! Neni, payiwera nankumjimira Rohu, nunkugenda Yerusalemu pota kuvimana yagafira kumpata aku.
23 except that the Holy Spirit, at town after town, testifies to me that imprisonment and suffering are awaiting me.
Shanushimana hera ndo handa Rohu Mnanagala kankunanguziya pakati pa kila lushi handa shifungu na ntabiku ndo vyanguhepera.
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.
Kumbiti, nankuukwisa ukomu wangu kuwera shintu nentu kwaneni mladi hera malili untumintumi wangu na lihengu lilii lyakanupiti Mtuwa Yesu nulitendi, yani nankuziyi Shisoweru Shiwagira sha manemu ga Mlungu.
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.
“Mbita muwamu mweni woseri pabwera ufalumi wa Mlungu. Na vinu, nuvimana kwahera ata yumu gwenu hakamoni kayi.
26 Therefore I protest to you to-day that I am not responsible for the ruin of any one of you.
Hangu, leru ayi nankuwalanguziya nakamu handa payilawira kahowa yumu gwenu, neni nahera lawama yoseri.
27 For I have not shrunk from declaring to you God's whole truth.
Toziya hapeni nzindi ata padidini kuwabwelerani nfiru yoseri ya Mlungu.
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.
Mulikali weri maweni, mshiloleri shipinga shilii sheni Rohu Mnanagala kawatula mwenga muweri walelwa wakuwi. Mushiloli shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, Mlungu yakashihemeriti kwa mwazi gwa mwana gwakuwi.
29 I know that, when I am gone, cruel wolves will come among you and will not spare the flock;
Nuvimana handa pambuka kala neni wamaminyi wakalipa hawawingilirani, na hapeni waweri na lusungu kwa shipinga ashi.
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.
Ata kulawa muwamu mwenu hawalawili wantu weni hantakuli vitwatira vya kupyota su kuwahowiziya wantu na kuwatenda wawafati womberi hera.
31 Therefore be on the alert; and remember that, night and day, for three years, I never ceased admonishing every one, even with tears.
Hangu muweri masu pamlihola handa kwa shipindi sha vinja vitatu, pashiru na paliwala ndoka ndiri kumubera kila yumu gwenu kwa masozi.
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.
“Vinu nankuwatula mumawoku ga Mlungu, kwa shisoweru sha manemu gakuwi, ndosheni shiweza kuwanyawa mwenga na kuwapanana uhala pamuhera nawomberi woseri yawapungitwi.
33 No one's silver or gold or clothing have I coveted.
Neni nfirandiri ata mala yimu shuma, wala zaabu, wala nguwu za muntu yoseri.
34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have provided for my own necessities and for the people with me.
Muvimana maweni handa ntenda lihengu kwa mawoku gangu namweni su mbati shakuwatanga na sha namweni.
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.'"
Namweri nankuwayupani mashaka goseri mfanu handa kwa kutenda lihengu shiasi ashi tufiruwa kuwatanga walii wahera likakala patulihola visoweru vya Mtuwa Yesu mweni, ‘Mbaka nentu kulavia kuliku kuyanga.’”
36 Having spoken thus, Paul knelt down and prayed with them all;
Pa katakuliti kala aga, Paulu kasuntamaliti pamuhera nawomberi woseri, kamluwa Mlungu.
37 and with loud lamentation they all threw their arms round his neck, and kissed him lovingly,
Woseri waweriti wankulira, na kumgambira Paulu kwahere kwa kumkisikira na kumunonera.
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.
Shawaweriti na maholu nashu nentu shiweriti showeru shakashitakuliti handa hapeni wamoni kayi. Su, wampeleka mpaka kumeli.
