1 Kwathi sesiphelile isiyaluyalu, uPawuli wabizela kuye abafundi, esebagonile, waphuma ukuthi aye eMakedoniya.
Kunyungana ha ku mana, Paulusi cha tuma batumiwa vakwe ni ku va susuweza. Mi cha balaeza ni kuba siya kuya kwa Macadonia.
2 Kwathi esedabule lezongxenye, esebakhuthazile ngamazwi amanengi, wafika eGirisi,
Linu hacha yendete chahita mukati ke zilalo ni ku susuweza bazumine ahulu, mi chayenda kwa Greece.

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.
4 Wasemphelekezela kwaze kwaba seAsiya uSopatheri weBeriya; lowamaThesalonika, uAristako loSekhundu, loGayusi weDerbe, loTimothi; lamaAsiya, uTikiko loTrofimu.
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.

Kono aba bakwame baba kali kuyenda kwentu mi baba katulindili kwa Troas.
6 Kodwa thina sasuka ngomkhumbi eFiliphi emva kwensuku zesinkwa esingelamvubelo, safika kubo eTrowasi ngensuku ezinhlanu, lapho esahlala khona insuku eziyisikhombisa.
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.
7 Kwathi ngosuku lokuqala lweviki, abafundi bebuthene ukuhlephula isinkwa, uPawuli watshumayela kubo, elungele ukusuka kusisa, waseselula ilizwi kwaze kwaba phakathi kobusuku.
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.
8 Njalo kwakukhona izibane ezinengi endlini ephezulu ababebuthene kiyo.
Kubema malambi mangi muzubo ya kwiwulu atuba kezi nawo.
9 Kwakuhlezi ewindini ijaha elithile ngebizo linguYutikusi, elajunywa yibuthongo obukhulu, uPawuli esetshumayele isikhathi eside, selehlulwe yibuthongo lawela phansi lisuka esitezi sesithathu, laselidojwa lifile.
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.
10 Kodwa uPawuli wehla waziphosela phezu kwalo, elisingatha wathi: Lingakhathazeki; ngoba umphefumulo walo ukhona kilo.
Mihe Paulusi cha suka hasi, cha liwotwelela hali, ni kuzabalana naye. Linu cha wamba,”Kanzi mukomokwa, uchi hala”.
11 Esenyukile njalo esehlephule isinkwa wadla, wakhuluma labo isikhathi eside kwaze kwasa, ngokunjalo wahamba.
Linu chayenda kwiwulu hape ni kukagamona chinkwa ni kulya. Hamana kuwamba nabo inako kutwala chitengu, cha yenda.
12 Basebemletha umfana ephila, basebeduduzwa hatshi lakancane.
Chibakaboza muswiswi nahala mi babalizuwi neza.
13 Kodwa thina, sesihambe phambili ukuya emkhunjini, sasuka ngomkhumbi saya eAsosi, lapho siqonde ukumkhweza uPawuli; ngoba wayemisile ngokunjalo, yena ebezahamba ngenyawo.
Iswe tubene tubayendi habusu bwa Paulusi ni Chikepe kakuzuha kuya kwa Assos, kutuba kaleleli kukahinda Paulusi. Iye mwabalikusakila bobulyo, kakuti abakulelete kuyenda yahasi.
14 Njalo esehlangene lathi eAsosi, samkhweza safika eMithilene,
Linu hakatuwana kwa Assos, chitwa mulonga muchikepe ni ku yenda kwa Mitylene.
15 sasuka lapho ngomkhumbi, kusisa safika maqondana leKiyosi; langomhlomunye sasondela eSamosi; sasesihlala eTrogiliumu, ngolulandelayo safika eMilethu.
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.
16 Ngoba uPawuli wayezimisele ukuyiceza iEfesu ngomkhumbi, ukuze angalibali eAsiya; ngoba wayephanga, nxa kwakungenzeka kuye, ukuba seJerusalema ngosuku lwePentekoste.
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.
17 Kwathi eseMilethu wathumela eEfesu wabizela kuye abadala bebandla.
Kwa Miletus natumina bakwame kwa Efese ni kusupila kwakwe bakulwana bekeleke.
18 Kwathi sebefikile kuye, wathi kubo: Liyazi lina, ukuthi kusukela osukwini lokuqala lokufika kwami eAsiya, ngangihlezi njani isikhathi sonke phakathi kwenu,
Habakeza kwali, chawamba kubali, “inwe mubene mwizi, kuzwa izuba lyamakalo kukulyata itende lyangu mwa Asia, inako iniba hindi ninina nenwa.
19 ngakhonza iNkosi ngokuthobeka konke langezinyembezi ezinengi langezilingo ezangehlela ngamaqhinga amaJuda;
