Imisebenzi 20
1 Kwathi sesiphelile isiyaluyalu, uPawuli wabizela kuye abafundi, esebagonile, waphuma ukuthi aye eMakedoniya.
MAHOPE iho o ka pau ana ae o keia haunaele, hoakoakoa iho la o Paulo i na hanmana, a honi ae la, a puka aku la iwaho, e hele i Makedonia.
2 Kwathi esedabule lezongxenye, esebakhuthazile ngamazwi amanengi, wafika eGirisi,
Kaahele ae la ia ma ia mau aina, a hooikaika aku la ia lakou me ka olelo nui, hele aku la i Helene;
3 kwathi esehlale khona inyanga ezintathu, selenziwe iqhinga ngaye ngamaJuda esezasuka ngomkhumbi ukuya eSiriya, wazimisela ukubuyela adabule eMakedoniya.
Noho iho la malaila ekolu malama: a i kona kokoko ana o holo i Suria, hoohalua aku la na Iudaio ia ia, nolaila, manao iho la ia e hoi ma Makedonia aku.
4 Wasemphelekezela kwaze kwaba seAsiya uSopatheri weBeriya; lowamaThesalonika, uAristako loSekhundu, loGayusi weDerbe, loTimothi; lamaAsiya, uTikiko loTrofimu.
Hele pu aku la me ia a hiki i Asia o Sopatero, no Beroia, a me Arisetareko laua o Sekunedo no Tesalonike, a me Gaio laua o Timoteo no Derebe, a me Tukiko laua o Teropima no Asia.
5 Laba sebehambe phambili basilindela eTrowasi.
Hele mua aku la lakou nei, a kakali iho la ma Teroa no makou.
6 Kodwa thina sasuka ngomkhumbi eFiliphi emva kwensuku zesinkwa esingelamvubelo, safika kubo eTrowasi ngensuku ezinhlanu, lapho esahlala khona insuku eziyisikhombisa.
A mahope iho o na la o ka berena hu ole, holo aku la makou mai Pilipi aku, po alima hiki aku makou io lakou la ma Teroa; malaila makou i noho ai i na la ehiku.
7 Kwathi ngosuku lokuqala lweviki, abafundi bebuthene ukuhlephula isinkwa, uPawuli watshumayela kubo, elungele ukusuka kusisa, waseselula ilizwi kwaze kwaba phakathi kobusuku.
A i ka la mua o ka hebedoma, i ko na haumana akoakoa ana o wawahi i ka berena, kamailio mai la o Paulo ia lakou, ua makaukau hoi e holo ia kakahiaka ae. Hooloihi hoi i ka olelo ana a hiki i ke aumoe.
8 Njalo kwakukhona izibane ezinengi endlini ephezulu ababebuthene kiyo.
Ua nui no hoi na kukui ma ke keena maluna, i kahi a makou i akoakoa ai.
9 Kwakuhlezi ewindini ijaha elithile ngebizo linguYutikusi, elajunywa yibuthongo obukhulu, uPawuli esetshumayele isikhathi eside, selehlulwe yibuthongo lawela phansi lisuka esitezi sesithathu, laselidojwa lifile.
Noho iho la kekahi kanaka opiopio ma ka pukamakani, o Eutuko kona inoa, ua kaumaha i ka hiamoe nui; a i ka Paulo kamailio loihi ana, pauhia iho la ia i ka hiamoe, a haule iho la ia ilalo, mai ke kolu o ka papa mai, a hapaiia ae la ia, ua make.
10 Kodwa uPawuli wehla waziphosela phezu kwalo, elisingatha wathi: Lingakhathazeki; ngoba umphefumulo walo ukhona kilo.
Iho mai la o Paulo ilalo, moe iho la maluna ona, puliki aku la ia ia, i mai la, Mai makau oukou; no ka mea, eia no kona ola maloko ona.
11 Esenyukile njalo esehlephule isinkwa wadla, wakhuluma labo isikhathi eside kwaze kwasa, ngokunjalo wahamba.
Pii hou aku la ia, wawahi ae la i ka berena, ai iho la, kamailio loihi mai la, a wanaao ae, alaila, hele aku la ia.
12 Basebemletha umfana ephila, basebeduduzwa hatshi lakancane.
Lawe mai la lakou i ua kanaka opiopio la, ua ola, aole okana mai ko lakou olioli.
13 Kodwa thina, sesihambe phambili ukuya emkhunjini, sasuka ngomkhumbi saya eAsosi, lapho siqonde ukumkhweza uPawuli; ngoba wayemisile ngokunjalo, yena ebezahamba ngenyawo.
Holo mua aku la makou ma ka moku, a holo aku la i Aso: manao iho la malaila e hoee ia Paulo maloko, no ka mea, pela ia i kauoha mai ai, no kona makemake a hele wawae ilaila.
14 Njalo esehlangene lathi eAsosi, samkhweza safika eMithilene,
A halawai mai la ia me makou ma Aso, hoee mai la makou ia ia, a holo ma Mitulene.
15 sasuka lapho ngomkhumbi, kusisa safika maqondana leKiyosi; langomhlomunye sasondela eSamosi; sasesihlala eTrogiliumu, ngolulandelayo safika eMilethu.
Holo aku la makou mailaila aku, a ao ae hiki ma Kio, a ia la ae, hiki makou i Samo, a noho ma Terogulio; a ia la ae, hele mai makou a Mileto.
16 Ngoba uPawuli wayezimisele ukuyiceza iEfesu ngomkhumbi, ukuze angalibali eAsiya; ngoba wayephanga, nxa kwakungenzeka kuye, ukuba seJerusalema ngosuku lwePentekoste.
Ua paa no ko Paulo manao, e holo ma Epeso ae, aole hoi e kali ma Asia; no ka mea, ua wikiwiki no ia, ina pono ia ia ke hiki i Ierusalema ma ka la Penetekota.
17 Kwathi eseMilethu wathumela eEfesu wabizela kuye abadala bebandla.
Hoouna ae la ia, mai Mileto aku a Epeso, e kii i na lunakahiko o ka ekalesia.
18 Kwathi sebefikile kuye, wathi kubo: Liyazi lina, ukuthi kusukela osukwini lokuqala lokufika kwami eAsiya, ngangihlezi njani isikhathi sonke phakathi kwenu,
A hiki lakou io na la, i mai la oia ia lakou, Ua ike no oukou, mai ka la makamua a'u i hiki mai ai i Asia nei, i ke ano o ko'u noho ana me oukou i na manawa a pau,
19 ngakhonza iNkosi ngokuthobeka konke langezinyembezi ezinengi langezilingo ezangehlela ngamaqhinga amaJuda;
E hookauwa ana'ku na ka Haku me ka manao hoohaahaa a pau, a me na waimaka, a me na pilikia i loaa ia'u, no ka hoohalua ana o na Iudaio;
20 ukuthi angigodlanga lutho ngayo olusizayo, ukungatshumayeli kini lokungalifundisi obala, lakuzindlu ngezindlu,
Aole hoi au i huna i kekahi mea pono, aka, ua hoike au ia oukou, ua ao aku hoi ia oukou ma ke akea, a ma kela hale a ia hale aku,
21 ngifakaza kumaJuda kanye lakumaGriki ukuphendukela kuNkulunkulu, lokholo ngakuyo iNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.
E hoike ana'ku i na Iudaio, a i na Helene, i ka mihi aku i ke Akua, a me ka manaoio aku i ka Haku, ia Iesu Kristo.
22 Lakhathesi khangelani, mina ngiya eJerusalema ngibotshwe nguMoya, ngingakwazi okuzangehlela phakathi kwayo,
Eia hoi au, ke hele paa aku nei ma ka uhane i Ierusalema; aole nae au i ike i na mea e loohia ai ia'u ilaila:
23 ngaphandle kokuthi uMoya oyiNgcwele uyafakaza emizini yonke esithi izibopho lezinhlupheko zingilindele.
Aka, ke hoike pono mai nei ka Uhane Hemolele ma na kulanakauhale a pau, i mai, Ua makaukau na kaula paa a me ka pilikia no'u.
24 Kodwa angikhathaleli lutho lwalezizinto, lempilo yami angiyenzi into eligugu kimi, ukuze ngiphelelise uhambo lwami ngentokozo, lenkonzo engayemukela eNkosini uJesu, eyokufakaza ivangeli elomusa kaNkulunkulu.
Aole hoi au e manao i keia mau mea, aole no hoi e manao wau he mea makemake no'u kuu ola nei, i hoopau wau i ko'u hele ana me ka olioli, a me ka oihana i loaa mai ia'u na ka Haku mai, na Iesu; i hoike aku no hoi au i ka euanelio o ka lokomaikai o ke Akua.
25 Njalo khathesi khangelani, mina ngiyazi ukuthi kalisayikubona ubuso bami lina lonke, engihamba phakathi kwenu ngitshumayela umbuso kaNkulunkulu.
Aia hoi, ano la, ua ike no wau, aole e ike hou ia ko'u maka e oukou a pau, ka poe au i hoike aku ai i ke aupuni o ke Akua, i ko'u hele ana mawaena o oukou.
26 Ngakho ngiyafakaza kini ngalolusuku lwalamuhla, ukuthi mina ngimsulwa egazini labo bonke;
No ia mea, ke hoike aku nei au ia oukou i keia la, ua maemae au i ke koko o na mea a pau.
27 ngoba kangigodlanga ukuthi ngilitshumayeze lonke icebo likaNkulunkulu.
No ka mea, aole au i molowa i ko'u hai ana aku ia oukou i ka makemake a pau a ke Akua.
28 Ziqapheleni-ke lina lomhlambi wonke, alibeke phakathi kwawo uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuthi libe ngababonisi, bokwelusa ibandla likaNkulunkulu, azithengele lona ngegazi lakhe uqobo.
Nolaila e ao oukou ia oukou iho, a me ka ohana a pau, maluna ona i hooliloia'i oukou e ka Uhane Hemolele i poe kahu. E hanai i ka ekalesia o ke Akua, i ka mea ana i kuai ai i kona koko iho.
29 Ngoba mina ngiyazi lokhu, ukuthi emva kokuhamba kwami kuzangena impisi eziphangayo phakathi kwenu, zingawuyekeli umhlambi;
No ka mea, ua ike no au i keia, a hala au, alaila e komo mai na iliohae ino loa iwaena o oukou, aole loa lakou e minamina i ka ohana.
30 laphakathi kwenu ngokwenu kuzavela amadoda ekhuluma izinto eziduhisayo, ukuhugela abafundi ngemva kwawo.
E ku mai no hoi kekahi poe kanaka no oukou iho, e olelo no i na mea hoopunipuni e hoohuli i haumana mamuli o lakou.
31 Ngakho lindani, likhumbule ukuthi okweminyaka emithathu ebusuku lemini kangimanga ukuleluleka omunye lomunye ngenyembezi.
No ia mea, e makaala oukou, e hoomanao hoi i na makahiki ekolu a'u i hoomaha ole ai ke ao aku ia oukou a pau i ka po, a me ke ao, me na waimaka.
32 Lakhathesi, bazalwane, ngilinikela kuNkulunkulu laselizwini lomusa wakhe, elilamandla okulakha, lokulipha ilifa phakathi kwabo bonke abangcwelisiweyo.
E na hoahanau, ano la, ke haawi aku nei au ia oukou i ke Akua, a i ka olelo o kona lokomaikai, i ka mea hiki ke hookupaa ia oukou, a me ka haawi ia oukou i hooilina mawaena o ka poe a pau i hoomaemaeia.
33 Kangihawukelanga isiliva kumbe igolide loba isembatho somuntu.
Aole loa au i kuko aku i ke kala, a me ke gula, a me ka aahu o kekahi.
34 Lina-ke uqobo lwenu liyazi ukuthi lezizandla zasebenzela inswelo zami lezalabo ababelami.
Oiaio, ua ike no oukou, ua hookauwa mai keia mau lima no ko'u hemahema, a no ka poe me a'u.
35 Kukho konke ngilitshengisile, ukuthi kumele ukuthi sisize ababuthakathaka sisebenza ngokunjalo, sikhumbule amazwi eNkosi uJesu, ukuthi yena wathi: Kubusisekile kakhulu ukupha kulokwemukela.
Ua hoike aku no au ia oukou, i na mea a pau, a pela hoi e pono ai ke hana oukou, a e kokua aku no hoi i ka poe palupalu; e manao no hoi i ka olelo a ka Haku, a Iesu, i kana i ana mai, Ua oi aku ka pomaikai o ka haawi ana aku mamua o ka loaa ana mai.
36 Njalo esetshilo lezizinto, waguqa ngamadolo akhe, wakhuleka labo bonke.
Olelo mai la ia i keia mau mea, kukuli iho la ia, a pule aku la me lakou a pau.
37 Kwaba khona ukukhala inyembezi kakhulu kwabo bonke; basebewela entanyeni kaPawuli bamanga,
Uwe nui iho la lakou a pau, a hina lakou ma ka ai o Paulo, honi mai la ia ia;
38 belosizi kakhulu ngelizwi alitshoyo, elokuthi kabasayikubona ubuso bakhe. Basebemphelekezela baya laye emkhunjini.
No kela olelo ana i i mai ai, aole lakou e ike hou i kona maka, nolaila ko lakou kaumaha nui. Ukali aku la lakou ia ia ma ka moku.
