Mitendo 20

1 Kunyungana ha ku mana, Paulusi cha tuma batumiwa vakwe ni ku va susuweza. Mi cha balaeza ni kuba siya kuya kwa Macadonia.

And after the uproar had ceased, Paul called to him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

2 Linu hacha yendete chahita mukati ke zilalo ni ku susuweza bazumine ahulu, mi chayenda kwa Greece.

And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,

3 Ha mana kwi kala mwezi yo tatwe, Majuda chiba hinda mulelo he wulu lyakwe kakuti chaba kuyenda kwa Syria, cha zeza kuti a bole ya mukati ka Macedonia.

And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.

4 Baba musindikizi kuya hesi kwa Asia nji Sopater mwana wa muswiswi wa Pyrrhus yo zwa kwa Berea; Aristarchus ni Secundus bose bazumine ba kwa Thessolonica; Gaisus wakwa Berbe; Timothy; Tychicus ni Trophimus ba kwa Asia.

And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 Kono aba bakwame baba kali kuyenda kwentu mi baba katulindili kwa Troas.

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

6 Chitwa zuha kuzwa kwa Philippi haku mana mazuba a chikwa chisena mulungo, mi mumazuba atende iyaza chi twaka sika kubali kwa Troas. Uko chi twa kekala mazuba atenda iyaza ni obele.

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

7 Ke zuba lya makalo mwisunda, ha tuba kungene tubose kuti tu nkomona cikwa, Paulusi cha wamba ku bazumine. Chaba ku lela ku katuka izuba lichilila, aba zwili habusa niku wamba hesi hakati kamasiku.

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached to them, ready to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.

8 Kubema malambi mangi muzubo ya kwiwulu atuba kezi nawo.

And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

9 Hehahulo kuba kwi kele mulobwana wezina lya Eutychus, yachaba lele iñozi. Sina Paulusi haba wambi inakonde, uzo mulobwana, aba kuchilele, chawa hasi kuzwa habulilo bobutatu mi chiba mutola na fwile.

And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, having fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

10 Mihe Paulusi cha suka hasi, cha liwotwelela hali, ni kuzabalana naye. Linu cha wamba,”Kanzi mukomokwa, uchi hala”.

And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

11 Linu chayenda kwiwulu hape ni kukagamona chinkwa ni kulya. Hamana kuwamba nabo inako kutwala chitengu, cha yenda.

When he had come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

12 Chibakaboza muswiswi nahala mi babalizuwi neza.

And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 Iswe tubene tubayendi habusu bwa Paulusi ni Chikepe kakuzuha kuya kwa Assos, kutuba kaleleli kukahinda Paulusi. Iye mwabalikusakila bobulyo, kakuti abakulelete kuyenda yahasi.

And we went before to a ship, and sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so he had appointed, intending himself to go on foot.

14 Linu hakatuwana kwa Assos, chitwa mulonga muchikepe ni ku yenda kwa Mitylene.

And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

15 Linu chitwa kazuha kwateni ni kukasika izuba lichilila chibabambene ni chida cha Chios. Izuba lichilila chitwa kakwata chida cha Samos, lichilila izuba chitweza mumuleneñi wa Miletus.

And we sailed from there, and came the next day opposite Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.

16 Kakuti Paulusi iyemwine chabakuzezete kuzuha kuhitilila Ephesus, kuti kazi akahindi inako mwa Asia; kakuti abakuhwelele kukaba kwa Jerusalema izuba lye Pentakota, heba kuti ni kuwoleka kuti atende bulyo.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

17 Kwa Miletus natumina bakwame kwa Efese ni kusupila kwakwe bakulwana bekeleke.

And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

18 Habakeza kwali, chawamba kubali, “inwe mubene mwizi, kuzwa izuba lyamakalo kukulyata itende lyangu mwa Asia, inako iniba hindi ninina nenwa.

And when they had come to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

19 Niba zwili habusu ninisebeleza Simwine mubufokoli bwaboko ni zisozi, ni mumasukuluko aba tendahali kwangu bakeñi chakulelwa kwa Majuda.

Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and trials, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 Mwizi kuti kananibaboleli mumasule kukutumusa kwenu zintu zonse zina ituso, ni muni bakumilutila mwichisi ni kuyenda izubo ni zubo.

And how I kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have shown you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

21 Mwizi muniba kukalimela Majuda ni Magerike kuti babakele kwe Ireeza ni kuzumina kwe Simwina Jesu.

Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 Mihanu, mulole, ni yenda nilinyongamine mu Luhuho Lujolola kwa Jerusalema, ninisezi zintu ziwola kukatendahala kwangu kuna,

And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

23 konzi Luhuho Lujolola nji paki zangu muleneñi uhi no uhi kuwambwa kusuminwa ni manyando anilibelele.

Except that the Holy Spirit testifieth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

24 Kono kanihupuli kuti buhalo bwangu bwabutokwa kwangu, kuti ni mane isiyano wangu ni misebezi iniba tambuli kuzwa kwa Simwine Jesu, kuba ipaki yeñusa lyabutokwa lyachisemo cha Ireeza.

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 Mihanu, mulole, nizi kuti inwe mubonse, banibayendeli kukaluta za mubuso, kesenimubone ipata yangu hape.

And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

26 Hakwina bulyo ni mipakila mwelinu izuba, kanina mulandu wamalaha a muntu zuhi no zuhi.

Therefore I testify to you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 Kakuti kena nibaboleli mwisule kukutumusa kwenu mulelo wose wetato ye Ireeza.

For I have not shunned to declare to you all the counsel of God.

28 Hakwinabulyo mulitokomele inwe mubene, ni mitapi iyo Luhuho Lujolola luba mitendi baokameli bayo. Mutokomele kuba balisani bekeleke ye Ireeza, yabawuli kamalaha akwe.

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29 Nizi kuti chinayenda, bantuhu bakali kabeze benjile mukati kenu, mi keti nibeze bafule mitapi inse.

For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Nizi kuti niheba mukati kenu mubene bamwi bakwame kabeze nikwiza kuwamba zintu ziwula bamwi ikweta, kutendela kuti bazwise balutwana kubali.

Also from your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Chobulyo mutokomele. Muhupule muzilimo zotatwe kuti kana ni basiyi kulaela zumwi ni zumwi wenu ni kulila musihali ni masiku.

Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

32 Mi hanu nimiha kwe Ireeza ni kulinzwi lyakwe lya chishemo, ili yowola kumikoza ni kumiha kuyola mukati kabo balukite.

And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them who are sanctified.

33 Kana nibalakazi isilivera yamuntu, ni ngauda ni zizwato.

I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.

34 Inwe mubene mwizi kuti aa mayaza abaniwanisi zinisaka ni zibasaka abo babena name.

Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35 Muzintu zose nibakumiha mutala mumu wolela kutusuza basaliwoleli kakusebeze, ni mumuwolela kuhupulela manzwi a Simwine Jesu, manzwi oa abawambi: “Kwina imbuyoti zingi mukuha kuzamba kuhewa.”

I have shown you all things, that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 Hamana kuwamba mweyonzila, chakubama ni kulapela nabo bonse.

And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

37 Bonse babalili hahulu ni kuwila Paulusi mwisingo ni kumuchuchuna.

And they all wept bitterly, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,

38 Babawililwe hahulu chakuhitliza chebaka lyazabawambi, ziti kete nibabone bulubi bwakwe hape. Linu chibamusindikiza kuchikepe.

Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
