Acts 20
1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.
Baada ya ghasia kuyomoka, Paulo alibakema banafunzi na kupeya mwoyo. Boka po atibaaga na kuboka kuyenda Makedonia.
2 When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
Niywembe paapeta mikoa yee na abile akibapeya mioyo baumini, kajingya Yunani.
3 When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
Baada ya ywembe kuwa palo kwa muda wa miei itatu, njama zichengwite dhidi yake na Ayahudi paabile atikaribia kusafifiri kwa ndela ya bahari elekya Shamu, ayee atiazimia kerebuka pitya Makedonia.
4 These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
Bakengamana na ywembe mpaka Asia babile Sopatro, mwana wa Pirho boka Berea; Aristariko na Sekundo, bote boka baamini ba Thesalonike; Gayo ba Derbe; Timotheo; Tikiko na Trofimo boka Asia.
5 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.
Lakini bandu aba bayomwile tangulia na babile batulenda kolyo Troa.
6 We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.
kwa ndela ya Bahari boka Filipi baada ya masoba ga mikate yaibekwa kwaa chachu, na katika masoba matano tuikite kolyo Troa. Tutama kolyo kwa masoba saba.
7 On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.
Hata lisoba lya kwanza lya wiki, patubile twatikwembana pamope ili kuutekwa mkate, Paulo atilongela na Baamini. Abile akiwza kuboka malabo yake, nga nyo atiendelea longela mpaka kilo ya manane.
8 There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.
Pabile na taa zanyansima katika chumba cha nnani ambapo tubile twatikwembana pamope.
9 A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.
Katika lidirisha abile atami muinja yumo lina lyake Utiko, ywabile na lugono likolo. Hata Paulo paabile akilongela kwa muda mrefu, muinja yolo, agonjike, atitomboka pae boka lighorofa lya tatu na atilokotwa abile tayari awile.
10 Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”
Lakini Paulo atiuluka pae, atijinyoosha ywembe mwene nnani yake, atimkumbatia. Katika baya, “Kana mkate tamaa, kwa kuwa abile nkoto.”
11 When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.
Boka po atipanda kae kulighorofa na atiutekwana mkate, no lyaa. Baada ya longela kwa muda mrefu mpaka lyamba, atiboka.
12 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.
Bannetike yolo muinja abile nkoto batifarijika muno.
13 But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.
Twenga twabene twatitangulia nnongi ya Paulo kwa meli na yenda Aso, ambapo twenga tulipanga kuntola Paulo kolyo. Ayee nga ywembe mwene ywapala kupanga, kwa mana atipanga yenda pitya nnema nkavu.
14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.
Paatuikite twenga kolyo Aso, twatimtola mu'meli kuyenda Mitilene.
15 Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.
Boka po twenga twatitweka kolyo na lisoba lyanyaibele tuikite upande wanyaibele wa kisiwa cha Kio. Lisoba lyanyaibele, tuikite kisiwa cha Samo, na malabo take tuikite mji wa Mileto.
16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
Kwa mana, Paulo abile atiamua safiri pitya Efeso, ili panga kana atumie muda wowote katika Asia; kwa mana abile na haraka ya kuwai Yerusalemu kwa ajili ya sikukuu ya Pentekoste, mana yawezekana ywembe kupanga nyoo.
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.
Boka Mileto atibatuma bandu mpaka Efeso na kubakema apindo ba likanisa.
18 When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,
Paaikite kwake, kammakiya, mwenga mwabene mutangite tangu lisoba lya kwanza panikanyaga hapa Asia, jinsi ya nibile kwinu muda wote.
19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
Namtumikya Ngwana kwa unyenyekevu wote na kwa machozi, na
20 how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
mateso yanipatike nenga kwa hila za Ayahudi. Mutangite namna ambayo naizuia kutangaza kwinu ilibe chochote ambacho kibile muhimu, na namna nenga natibafundisha waziwazi na kuyenda nyumba kwa nyumba.
21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
Mutangfite namna nenga mayendelya kubaonya Ayahudi na Ayunani nnani ya toba kwa Nnongo na imani katika Ngwana witu Yesu.
22 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;
Nambeambe, muilinge, nibile namtii Roho Mtakatifu kuelekea Yerusalemu, niyatangite kwaa makowe ambayo yanipangikie nenga kolyo,
23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.
Ila kwa mana Roho Mtakatifu unishuhudia nenga katika kila mji no baya panga minyororo na mateso nga nyoo vyatinilenda.
24 But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.
Lakini nenga nafikiria kwaa panga maisha yangu ni kwa yeyote ya thamani kwango, ili niweze kuyomwa mwendo wango na huduma yanipeyilwe boka kwa Ngwana Yesu, kuishuhudia injili ya nema ya Nnongo.
25 “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.
Nmabeambe, linga, nitangite panga wote, nkati ya balo baniyendike kuhubiri Ufalme, mwanibona kwaa minyo kae.
26 Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,
Kwa eyo nabashuhudia leno yee, panga nibile kwaa na hatia ya myai ya mundu yeyote.
27 for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
Kwa mana naizuia kwaa kubatangazia mapenzi yoti ya Nnongo.
28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.
Kwa eyo muwe baangalifu nnani yinu mwenga mwabene, na nnani ya likundi lolote ambalo Roho Mtakatifu atiabeka mwenga kuwa waangalizi. Mube aangalifu kulichunga likusanyiko lya Ngwana, ambalo atilipemya kwa myai yake mwene.
29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Nitangite panga baada ya kuboka kwango, mapwa ba mwitu akale balowa jingya nkati yinu, na baliwa kulihurimya kwaa likundi.
30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
Nitangite panga hata nkati yinu mwabene baadhi ya bandu baisa no baya makowe mabou, ili kuwavuta banafunzi babakengame bembe.
31 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
Kwa eyo mutame minyo. Mukombokye panga kwa miaka mitatu naweza kwaa kuleka kuwafundisha kila yumo winu kwa machozi kilo ni mutwekati.
32 Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
Nambeambe nenga nawakabidhi kwa Nnongo, na kwa neno lya neema yake laweza kuachenga na kuwapea urithi pamope nabo bote batiwekwa wakfu kwa Nnongo.
33 I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.
Natamaniya kwaa mbanje, dhahabu, au ngobo.
34 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.
Mutangite mwenga mwabene panga maboko aga inipeya mahitaji yango mwene na mahitaji ya balo babile pamope ni nenga.
35 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Katika makowe yote naapeya mfano wa namna mupalikwa kuwasaidia anyonge kwa kuipanga kazi, na namna mupalikwa kukombokya maneno ya Ngwana Yesu, maneno ambayo ywembe mwene abayite: “Ni heri kutoa kuliko pokya.”
36 When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
Baada ya kubaya namna yee, apiyite magoti na kuloba pamope na bembe.
37 They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,
Bote batilela muno na kumtombokya Paulo paingo na kumbusu.
38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
Batihuzunika muno ya yote kwa mana ya chelo bambonekeya kwaa kuminyo pake kae. Boka po batimsindikiza Mumerikebu.
