Matendo ya Mitume 20
1 Baada jha ghasia kumalika, Paulo akabhakuta bhanafunzi ni kubhapela muoyo. Kisha kubhalagha ni kubhoka kulota Makedonia.
And after the uproar was ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
2 Ni muene bho apetili mikoa ejhu na akajha akabhapela muoyo bhaamini, akajhingila Uyunani.
And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.
3 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.
And when he had spent three months [there], and a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
4 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.
And there accompanied him as far as Asia Sopater of Beroea, [the son] of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 Lakini bhanu abha bhamalikulongolela na bhatulendeleghe kula Troa.
But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.
6 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.
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we tarried seven days.
7 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.
And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight.
8 Kwajhele ni taa simehele mu kichumba kya panani ambapo twajhele tubhonganiki pamonga.
And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where we were gathered together.
9 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.
And there sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus, borne down with deep sleep; and as Paul discoursed yet longer, being borne down by his sleep he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.
10 Lakini Paulo akaselela pasi akinyosi muene panani pa muene, akan'kumbatila. Kisha akajobha, “Msikati tamaa kwandabha ujhe hai.”
And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him.
11 Kisha akakwela kabhele ghorofani na akaumetula n'kate akalya. Baada jha kulongela nabhu kwa muda mrefu hadi lubhuliku, akabhoka.
And when he was gone up, and had broken the bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
12 Bhakandeta n'songolo jhola ajhe muomi bhafarijiki sana.
And they brought the lad alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 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.
But we, going before to the ship, set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land.
14 Bhoatufikili okhu Aso, twampaki mu meli tukalota Mitilene.
And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
15 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.
And sailing from thence, we came the following day over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after we came to Miletus.
16 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.
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 at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17 Kuhoma Mileto akalaghisya bhanu hadi Efeso ni kubhakuta bhaseya bhakanisa.
And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him the elders of the church.
18 Bho bhafikili kwa muene akabhajobhela, muenga mwebhene mmanyili kuhoma ligono lya kuanza bho nikanyi apaAsia, jinsi kyanijhe kwa muenga muda bhuoha.
And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, after what manner I was with you all the time,
19 Nintumikili Bwana kwa unyenyekevu bhoha ni kwa mahosi, ni mateso ghaghanikabhili nene kwa hila sya bhayahudi.
serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews:
20 Mmanyilijinsi ambafyo nakizuililepi kutangasya kwa muenga khenu kyokyoha ambakyo kyajhele muhimu, na jinsi nene kyanibhemenyisi waziwazi na kabhele kulota nyumba kwa nyumba.
how that I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house,
21 Mumanyili jinsi nene kyanikajhendelili kubhaonya bhayahudi ni bhayunani juu jha toba kwa K'yara ni imani kwa Bwana bhitu Yesu.
testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 Na henu, mulangayi, nene, nikantii Roho mtakatifu kulotela Yerusalemu, nisighamanyi mambo ambagho ghibetakunitokela nene okhu,
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23 ila kwa kujha Roho mtakatifu ikanishuhudila nene mu khila mji na ijobha kujha minyororo ni malombosi ndo fikanilendela.
save that the Holy Ghost testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24 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.
But I hold not my life of any account, as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 Ni henu, langayi, nimanyili kujha bhoha, miongoni mwa bhala bhanitolili kubhahubiri Ufalme, mwibetalepi kunibhona pamihu kabhele.
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more.
26 Kwa hiyo nikabhashuhudila lelu ejhe, kujha nijhelepi ni hatia ni damu jha munu jhejhioha jhola.
Wherefore I testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 Kwandabha nakizuili lepi kubhatangasila mapenzi ghoha gha K'yara.
For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God.
28 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.
Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in the which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.
29 Nimanyili kujha baada jha kubhoka kwa nene mbwa mwitu bhakali bhibheta kujhingila kwa muenga, na bhasilihurumili likundi.
I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock;
30 Nimanyili kwamba hata miongoni mwa jhomu mwebhene baadhi jha bhanu bhibeta kuhida ni kujobha mambo manofulepi, ili kubhafuta bhanafunzi bhabhakesiajhi bhene.
and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 Henu, mujhelayi mihu. Mukhombokayi kujha kwa miaka midatu nalekilepi kubhafundisha kila mmonga bhinu kwa mahosi kiru ni pamusi.
Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.
32 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.
And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build [you] up, and to give [you] the inheritance among all them that are sanctified.
33 Natamanilepi hela, dhahabu, au maguanda.
I coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Mmanyili mwebhene kujha mabhoko agha inipelili mahitaji ghangu nejhoni ni mahitaji gha bhala bhabhajhe pamonga nani.
Ye yourselves know that these hands ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 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.”
In all things I gave you an example, how that so labouring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 Baada jha kujobha namna ejhe, apigili magoti akas'oka pamonga nabhu.
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
37 Bhoha bhakalela sana ni kumbinila Paulo mu n'singu ni kumbusu.
And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,
38 Bhahuzuniki zaidi jha ghoha kwandabha jha khela ambakyo ajobhili, kwamba kamwe bhibetalepi kubhubhona uso bhwa muene kabhele. Kisha bhakan'sindikila Merikebuni.
Sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they should behold his face no more. And they brought him on his way unto the ship.
