Matendo ga Mitume 20
1 Baada ya ghasia kuyomoka, Paulo alibakema banafunzi na kupeya mwoyo. Boka po atibaaga na kuboka kuyenda Makedonia.
And after the tumult was over, Paul sent for the disciples to him, and having embraced them, departed to go into Macedonia.
2 Niywembe paapeta mikoa yee na abile akibapeya mioyo baumini, kajingya Yunani.
And having passed through those parts, and given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.
3 Baada ya ywembe kuwa palo kwa muda wa miei itatu, njama zichengwite dhidi yake na Ayahudi paabile atikaribia kusafifiri kwa ndela ya bahari elekya Shamu, ayee atiazimia kerebuka pitya Makedonia.
And when he had spent three months there, the Jews having laid wait for him as he was going to embark for Syria, he determined to return by Macedonia.
4 Bakengamana na ywembe mpaka Asia babile Sopatro, mwana wa Pirho boka Berea; Aristariko na Sekundo, bote boka baamini ba Thesalonike; Gayo ba Derbe; Timotheo; Tikiko na Trofimo boka Asia.
And there accompanied him to Asia, Sopater the Berean, and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy: and the Asiatics,
5 Lakini bandu aba bayomwile tangulia na babile batulenda kolyo Troa.
Tychicus and Trophimus, who went before and stayed for us at Troas.
6 kwa ndela ya Bahari boka Filipi baada ya masoba ga mikate yaibekwa kwaa chachu, na katika masoba matano tuikite kolyo Troa. Tutama kolyo kwa masoba saba.
And after the days of unleavened bread we sailed from Philippi, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we spent seven days.
7 Hata lisoba lya kwanza lya wiki, patubile twatikwembana pamope ili kuutekwa mkate, Paulo atilongela na Baamini. Abile akiwza kuboka malabo yake, nga nyo atiendelea longela mpaka kilo ya manane.
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled together to break bread, Paul being about to depart on the morrow, preached unto them, and continued his discourse till midnight.
8 Pabile na taa zanyansima katika chumba cha nnani ambapo tubile twatikwembana pamope.
And there were many lamps in the upper room where they were assembled.
9 Katika lidirisha abile atami muinja yumo lina lyake Utiko, ywabile na lugono likolo. Hata Paulo paabile akilongela kwa muda mrefu, muinja yolo, agonjike, atitomboka pae boka lighorofa lya tatu na atilokotwa abile tayari awile.
And a young man named Eutychus, who sat in a window, falling into a deep sleep, as Paul was discoursing for a long time, sunk down and fell from the third story, and was taken up dead.
10 Lakini Paulo atiuluka pae, atijinyoosha ywembe mwene nnani yake, atimkumbatia. Katika baya, “Kana mkate tamaa, kwa kuwa abile nkoto.”
And Paul went down and leaned over him, and took him up and said, Be not disturbed; for his life is in him.
11 Boka po atipanda kae kulighorofa na atiutekwana mkate, no lyaa. Baada ya longela kwa muda mrefu mpaka lyamba, atiboka.
Then he went up again, and having broken bread and eaten, and conversed with them a considerable time, even till break of day, he departed.
12 Bannetike yolo muinja abile nkoto batifarijika muno.
And they brought in the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 Twenga twabene twatitangulia nnongi ya Paulo kwa meli na yenda Aso, ambapo twenga tulipanga kuntola Paulo kolyo. Ayee nga ywembe mwene ywapala kupanga, kwa mana atipanga yenda pitya nnema nkavu.
But we went before to the ship, and sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul: for so he had appointed, designing himself to go on foot.
14 Paatuikite twenga kolyo Aso, twatimtola mu'meli kuyenda Mitilene.
And as soon as he joined us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mitylene.
15 Boka po twenga twatitweka kolyo na lisoba lyanyaibele tuikite upande wanyaibele wa kisiwa cha Kio. Lisoba lyanyaibele, tuikite kisiwa cha Samo, na malabo take tuikite mji wa Mileto.
And sailing from thence we came the next day over against Chios; and the day following we arrived at Samos, and stopping at Trogyllium, we came the day after to Miletus.
16 Kwa mana, Paulo abile atiamua safiri pitya Efeso, ili panga kana atumie muda wowote katika Asia; kwa mana abile na haraka ya kuwai Yerusalemu kwa ajili ya sikukuu ya Pentekoste, mana yawezekana ywembe kupanga nyoo.
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend time in Asia: for he endeavoured, if it were possible, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 Boka Mileto atibatuma bandu mpaka Efeso na kubakema apindo ba likanisa.
But he sent from Miletus to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
18 Paaikite kwake, kammakiya, mwenga mwabene mutangite tangu lisoba lya kwanza panikanyaga hapa Asia, jinsi ya nibile kwinu muda wote.
And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know in what manner I behaved among you all the time, from the first day that I came into Asia.
19 Namtumikya Ngwana kwa unyenyekevu wote na kwa machozi, na
Serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and trials which befel me by the ambushes of the Jews.
20 mateso yanipatike nenga kwa hila za Ayahudi. Mutangite namna ambayo naizuia kutangaza kwinu ilibe chochote ambacho kibile muhimu, na namna nenga natibafundisha waziwazi na kuyenda nyumba kwa nyumba.
And how I with-held nothing that was useful, but have declared it to you, and have taught you publicly and from house to house:
21 Mutangfite namna nenga mayendelya kubaonya Ayahudi na Ayunani nnani ya toba kwa Nnongo na imani katika Ngwana witu Yesu.
testifying both to the Jews and Greeks, repentance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 Nambeambe, muilinge, nibile namtii Roho Mtakatifu kuelekea Yerusalemu, niyatangite kwaa makowe ambayo yanipangikie nenga kolyo,
And now, being constrained by the spirit, behold I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will befal me there:
23 Ila kwa mana Roho Mtakatifu unishuhudia nenga katika kila mji no baya panga minyororo na mateso nga nyoo vyatinilenda.
save that the holy Spirit testifieth in every city, that bonds and afflictions await me.
24 Lakini nenga nafikiria kwaa panga maisha yangu ni kwa yeyote ya thamani kwango, ili niweze kuyomwa mwendo wango na huduma yanipeyilwe boka kwa Ngwana Yesu, kuishuhudia injili ya nema ya Nnongo.
But none of these things move me, nor do I account my life dear, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 Nmabeambe, linga, nitangite panga wote, nkati ya balo baniyendike kuhubiri Ufalme, mwanibona kwaa minyo kae.
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 Kwa eyo nabashuhudia leno yee, panga nibile kwaa na hatia ya myai ya mundu yeyote.
Wherefore I call you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men.
27 Kwa mana naizuia kwaa kubatangazia mapenzi yoti ya Nnongo.
For I have not failed to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Kwa eyo muwe baangalifu nnani yinu mwenga mwabene, na nnani ya likundi lolote ambalo Roho Mtakatifu atiabeka mwenga kuwa waangalizi. Mube aangalifu kulichunga likusanyiko lya Ngwana, ambalo atilipemya kwa myai yake mwene.
Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the holy Spirit hath appointed you bishops, to feed the church of God, which He purchased with his own blood.
29 Nitangite panga baada ya kuboka kwango, mapwa ba mwitu akale balowa jingya nkati yinu, na baliwa kulihurimya kwaa likundi.
For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Nitangite panga hata nkati yinu mwabene baadhi ya bandu baisa no baya makowe mabou, ili kuwavuta banafunzi babakengame bembe.
And from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them.
31 Kwa eyo mutame minyo. Mukombokye panga kwa miaka mitatu naweza kwaa kuleka kuwafundisha kila yumo winu kwa machozi kilo ni mutwekati.
Watch therefore, remembering that for the space of three years I ceased not by night and by day to warn every one with tears.
32 Nambeambe nenga nawakabidhi kwa Nnongo, na kwa neno lya neema yake laweza kuachenga na kuwapea urithi pamope nabo bote batiwekwa wakfu kwa Nnongo.
And now, my brethren, I recommend you to God, and to the word of his grace: who is able to edify you, and to give you an inheritance among all that are sanctified.
33 Natamaniya kwaa mbanje, dhahabu, au ngobo.
I have coveted no one's silver, or gold, or apparel:
34 Mutangite mwenga mwabene panga maboko aga inipeya mahitaji yango mwene na mahitaji ya balo babile pamope ni nenga.
and ye yourselves know that these hands have ministred to my necessities, and to those that were with me.
35 Katika makowe yote naapeya mfano wa namna mupalikwa kuwasaidia anyonge kwa kuipanga kazi, na namna mupalikwa kukombokya maneno ya Ngwana Yesu, maneno ambayo ywembe mwene abayite: “Ni heri kutoa kuliko pokya.”
I have shewed you in all things, that by labouring thus ye ought to support the infirm; and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, who said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 Baada ya kubaya namna yee, apiyite magoti na kuloba pamope na bembe.
And when he had said these things, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
37 Bote batilela muno na kumtombokya Paulo paingo na kumbusu.
And they were all much grieved, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him: sorrowing most of all at the word which he spake,
38 Batihuzunika muno ya yote kwa mana ya chelo bambonekeya kwaa kuminyo pake kae. Boka po batimsindikiza Mumerikebu.
that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
