Ebikolwa by’Abatume 20

1 Awo akasasamalo bwe kakkakkana, Pawulo n’atumya abayigirizwa, ne bakuŋŋaana, n’ababuulira ekigambo kya Katonda ng’abasiibula n’okubagumya, n’alyoka asitula n’alaga mu Makedoniya.

Nowe after the tumult was appeased, Paul called the disciples vnto him, and embraced them, and departed to goe into Macedonia.

2 N’agenda ng’ayitaayita mu bitundu ebyo ng’ayogera n’abantu ebigambo bingi eby’okubagumya n’okubanyiikiza mu kukkiriza kwabwe. Oluvannyuma n’atuuka mu Buyonaani,

And when hee had gone through those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Grecia.

3 n’amalamu emyezi esatu. Bwe yali ateekateeka okusaabala ku nnyanja okulaga mu Siriya, n’avumbula olukwe Abayudaaya lwe baali basaze okumutta, kyeyava asalawo okuddayo mu Makedoniya gy’aba ayita.

And hauing taried there three moneths, because the Iewes layde waite for him, as hee was about to saile into Syria, hee purposed to returne through Macedonia.

4 Abaamuwerekerako mu lugendo olwo okutuuka mu Asiya, be bano: Sopateri Omuberoya mutabani wa Puulo, ne Alisutaluuko ne Sekundo Abasessaloniika, ne Gaayo Omuderube, ne Timoseewo, n’Abasiya, Tukiko ne Tulofiimo.

And there accompanied him into Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of them of Thessalonica, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of them of Asia, Tychicus, and Trophimus.

5 Oluvannyuma bano bonna ne batukulembera ne batulinda e Tulowa.

These went before, and taried vs at Troas.

6 Ne tusaabala ku nnyanja okuva e Firipi nga tumaze embaga ey’Emigaati Egitazimbulukuswa, ne tumala ku nnyanja ennaku ttaano, bannaffe ne tubatuukako mu Tulowa ne tumalawo ennaku musanvu.

And we sailed forth from Philippi, after the dayes of vnleauened bread, and came vnto them to Troas in fiue dayes, where we abode seuen dayes.

7 Awo olumu ku nnaku za ssabbiiti, bwe twali tukuŋŋaanye okumenya omugaati, Pawulo n’abaako bye yali abayigiriza. Naye olwokubanga enkeera yali asitula, n’ayogerera ebbanga ddene nnyo, n’atuusa mu ttumbi ng’akyayogera!

And the first day of the weeke, the disciples being come together to breake bread, Paul preached vnto them, ready to depart on the morrow, and continued the preaching vnto midnight.

8 Mu kisenge ekya waggulu mwe twali tukuŋŋaanidde mwalimu ettaala nnyingi nga zaaka.

And there were many lightes in an vpper chamber, where they were gathered together.

9 Waaliwo omuvubuka erinnya lye Yutuko, eyali atudde mu ddirisa, otulo ne tumukwata. Pawulo bwe yalwawo ng’akyayogera, omuvubuka ne yeebakira ddala, okutuusa lwe yasimattuka mu ddirisa ku mwaliiro ogwokusatu n’agwa ebweru n’afiirawo.

And there sate in a windowe a certaine yong man, named Eutychus, fallen into a dead sleepe: and as Paul was long preaching, hee ouercome with sleepe, fell downe from the thirde loft, and was taken vp dead.

10 Pawulo n’akka wansi n’amusitula n’amuwambaatira mu mikono gye. N’agamba nti, “Temweraliikirira, mulamu!”

But Paul went downe, and layde himselfe vpon him, and embraced him, saying, Trouble not your selues: for his life is in him.

11 Awo bonna ne baddayo waggulu ne bamenya omugaati ne balya. Pawulo ne yeyongera okwogera okutuusiza ddala obudde okukya, n’alyoka asitula n’agenda.

Then when Paul was come vp againe, and had broken bread, and eaten, hauing spoken a long while till the dawning of the day, hee so departed.

12 Ne baddamu amaanyi, n’omuvubuka ne bamutwala eka nga mulamu.

And they brought the boye aliue, and they were not a litle comforted.

13 Awo Pawulo ne tumukulembera ne tusaabala ku nnyanja okulaga mu Aso, Pawulo nga bwe yali ateeseteese, kubanga ye yali ateeseteese kuyita ku lukalu.

Then we went before to shippe, and sailed vnto the citie Assos, that wee might receiue Paul there: for so had hee appointed, and would himselfe goe afoote.

14 Bwe yatusisinkana mu Aso, ne tutuuka e Mituleene.

Now when he was come vnto vs to Assos, and we had receiued him, we came to Mitylenes.

15 Bwe twava eyo ne tuwunguka olunaku olwaddirira ne tutuuka mu kifo ekyolekedde Kiyo. Ne ku lunaku olwaddirira ne tusala ne tudda e Samo, ne ku lunaku olwaddirira ne tutuuka e Mireeto.

And wee sailed thence, and came the next day ouer against Chios, and the next day we arriued at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium: the next day we came to Miletum.

16 Pawulo yali asazeewo obutayimirira mu Efeso nga yeewala okumala ekiseera ekinene mu Asiya, kubanga yali yeeyuna nti ssinga asobola, atuuke mu Yerusaalemi ng’olunaku lwa Pentekoote terunnatuuka.

For Paul had determined to saile by Ephesus, because hee woulde not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted to be, if hee could possible, at Hierusalem, at the day of Pentecost.

17 Bwe yatuuka e Mireeto, n’atumira abakadde b’Ekkanisa ya Efeso bajje bamulabe.

Wherefore from Miletum, hee sent to Ephesus, and called the Elders of the Church.

18 Awo bwe baatuuka Pawulo n’agamba nti, “Mumanyi bulungi ng’okuva ku lunaku lwe natuukirako mu Asiya n’okutuusa leero,

Who when they were come to him, hee said vnto them, Ye know from the first day that I came into Asia, after what maner I haue bene with you at all seasons,

19 nkoze omulimu gwa Mukama mmuweereza n’obuwombeefu n’amaziga n’okugezesebwa ebyantukako olw’enkwe z’Abayudaaya.

Seruing the Lord with all modestie, and with many teares, and tentations, which came vnto me by the layings awaite of the Iewes,

20 Naye saalekayo kubabuulira bituufu eby’okubayamba, bwe twabanga tukuŋŋaanye oba bwe najjanga mu maka gammwe,

And how I kept backe nothing that was profitable, but haue shewed you, and taught you openly and throughout euery house,

21 nga ntegeeza Abayudaaya n’Abayonaani okwenenya badde eri Katonda, n’okuba n’okukkiriza mu Mukama waffe Yesu.

Witnessing both to the Iewes, and to the Grecians the repentance towarde God, and faith toward our Lord Iesus Christ.

22 “Ne kaakano laba nsibiddwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu, ŋŋenda e Yerusaalemi nga simanyi binaantukako nga ndi eyo.

And nowe beholde, I goe bound in the Spirit vnto Hierusalem, and know not what things shall come vnto me there,

23 Wabula Mwoyo Mutukuvu antegeeza nti okusibibwa n’okubonyaabonyezebwa binnindiridde mu buli kibuga.

Saue that ye holy Ghost witnesseth in euery citie, saying, that bondes and afflictions abide me.

24 Naye obulamu bwange sibutwala kuba nga kya muwendo gye ndi, ndyoke ntuukirize omulimu gwange, n’obuweereza bwe nnaweebwa Mukama waffe Yesu, okutegeezanga Enjiri ey’ekisa kya Katonda.

But I passe not at all, neither is my life deare vnto my selfe, so that I may fulfill my course with ioye, and the ministration which I haue receiued of the Lord Iesus, to testifie the Gospell of the grace of God.

25 “Ne kaakano mmanyi nga temukyaddayo kundaba nate, mwenna be natambulamu nga mbuulira obwakabaka.

And now behold, I know that henceforth ye all, through whome I haue gone preaching the kingdome of God, shall see my face no more.

26 Noolwekyo mbategeeza leero nti sirina kyenvunaanwa olw’omusaayi gwa bonna,

Wherefore I take you to recorde this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 kubanga sirina na kimu kye nalekayo nga mbabuulira okwagala kwa Katonda.

For I haue kept nothing backe, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God.

28 Mwekumenga era mukuumenga n’ekisibo kyonna Mwoyo Mutukuvu mwe yabateeka okuba abalabirizi okulabiriranga Ekkanisa ya Katonda gye yeegulira n’omusaayi gwe.

Take heede therefore vnto your selues, and to all the flocke, whereof the holy Ghost hath made you Ouerseers, to feede the Church of God, which hee hath purchased with that his owne blood.

29 Mmanyi nga bwe ndigenda, emisege emikambwe giribayingiramu, era tegirisaasira kisibo.

For I knowe this, that after my departing shall grieuous wolues enter in among you, not sparing the flocke.

30 Ne mu mmwe bennyini mulivaamu abasajja aboogera ebintu ebikyamu, okwefunira abayigirizwa abanaabagobereranga.

Moreouer of your owne selues shall men arise speaking peruerse thinges, to drawe disciples after them.

31 Noolwekyo mwekuume. Mujjukire nga bwe nababuulirira nga nkaaba amaziga okumala emyaka esatu, emisana n’ekiro, ne mundeeta n’amaziga.

Therefore watche, and remember, that by the space of three yeres I ceased not to warne euery one, both night and day with teares.

32 “Kaakano mbasigira Katonda n’ekigambo eky’ekisa kye ebiyinza okubazimba n’okubawa omugabo mu abo bonna abaatukuzibwa.

And nowe brethren, I commend you to God, and to the worde of his grace, which is able to build further, and to giue you an inheritance, among all them, which are sanctified.

33 Siyaayaaniranga ffeeza newaakubadde zaabu wadde engoye eby’omuntu n’omu.

I haue coueted no mans siluer, nor gold, nor apparell.

34 Mmwe bennyini mumanyi nti neetuusizaako ebyetaago byange n’eby’abo bendi nabo.

Yea, ye knowe, that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35 Mbalaze mu buli kintu nga mu kukola n’amaanyi, kibagwanira okuyamba abanafu, ate n’okujjukira ebigambo bya Mukama waffe Yesu bye yayogera nti, ‘Okugaba kwa mukisa okusinga okuweebwa.’”

I haue shewed you all things, howe that so labouring, ye ought to support the weake, and to remember the wordes of the Lord Iesus, howe that hee saide, It is a blessed thing to giue, rather then to receiue.

36 Awo Pawulo bwe yamala okwogera ebyo, n’afukamira n’asaba nabo bonna.

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

37 Buli omu n’akaaba nnyo amaziga, ne bamugwa mu kifuba okumusiibula,

Then they wept all abundantly, and fell on Pauls necke, and kissed him,

38 nga banakuwavu, naye okusinga byonna olw’ekigambo kye yayogera nti, Tebakyaddayo kumulaba. Ne bamuwerekerako ne bamutuusa ku kyombo.

Being chiefly sorie for the words which he spake, That they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him vnto the shippe.
