Mabasa 20
1 Bope rakati rapera, Pauro akadana vadzidzi, uye shure kwokuvakurudzira, akaonekana navo akasimuka akaenda kuMasedhonia.
AND after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
2 Akafamba nomumatunhu ayo, achitaura mashoko mazhinji okukurudzira vanhu, uye pakupedzisira akazosvika kuGirisi,
And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
3 uko kwaakandogara kwemwedzi mitatu. Nokuda kwokuti vaJudha vakanga vaita rangano yakaipa pamusoro pake paakanga oda kukwira chikepe kuti aende kuSiria, akafunga kudzokerazve nokuMasedhonia.
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 Akaperekedzwa naSopata mwanakomana waPirasi wokuBheria, navanaAristakusi naSekundo, vaibva kuTesaronika, naGayo wokuDhebhe, naTimotiwo uye Tikikasi naTirofimasi vaibva mudunhu reEzhia.
And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 Varume ava vakatungamira vakandotimirira paTroasi.
These going before tarried for us at Troas.
6 Asi takazokwira chikepe kubva kuFiripi shure kwoMutambo weZvingwa Zvisina Mbiriso, uye shure kwamazuva mashanu takazobatana navamwe paTroasi, apo patakazogara kwamazuva manomwe.
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
7 Nomusi wokutanga wevhiki takaungana pamwe chete kuti timedure chingwa. Pauro akataura kuvanhu uye, nokuda kwokuti akanga achida kuenda pazuva raitevera, akaramba achingotaura kusvikira pakati pousiku.
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
8 Makanga mune mwenje mizhinji muimba yapamusoro matakanga tichisangana.
And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
9 Pawindo pakanga pagere jaya rainzi Yutiko, uyo akanga abatwa nehope chaizvo sezvo Pauro akanga achingoramba achitaura. Paakanga anyatsobatwa nehope akawira pasi achibva paimba yechitatu yapamusoro akazonongwa afa.
And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
10 Pauro akaburuka akasvikozviwisira pamusoro pejaya akamugumbatira mumaoko ake. Akati, “Musatya, mupenyu!”
And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
11 Ipapo akakwirazve paimba yapamusoro akamedura chingwa akadya. Shure kwokutaura navo kusvikira kwaedza, akazoenda hake.
When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
12 Vanhu vakatora mujaya uya vakaenda naye kumusha ari mupenyu uye vakanyaradzwa zvikuru.
And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 Isu takatungamira nechikepe tikaenda kuAsosi, uko Pauro aizokwirawo chikepe. Akanga aronga izvi nokuti akanga achizoenda ikoko netsoka.
And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
14 Paakasangana nesu paAsosi, takamukwidza tikapfuurira kuMitirene.
And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
15 Fume mangwana takamukapo nechikepe tikandosvika pakatarisana neKiyosi. Zuva rakatevera iroro takayambuka tikasvika kuSamosi, uye zuva rakatevera takasvika paMiretasi.
And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
16 Pauro akanga afunga zvokupfuura napaEfeso nechikepe achiitira kuti vasapedza nguva vari munyika yeEzhia nokuti akanga achimhanyira kusvika kuJerusarema, kana zvaibvira, nezuva rePendekosti.
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17 Pauro ari paMiretasi, akatumira shoko kuEfeso kundodana vakuru vekereke.
And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
18 Vakati vasvika, akati kwavari, “Imi munoziva kuti ndakagara sei nemi panguva yose yandaiva nemi, kubvira pazuva rokutanga randakasvika munyika yeEzhia.
And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
19 Ndakashumira Ishe nokuzvininipisa zvikuru uye nemisodzi, kunyange ndakaedzwa zvikuru nerangano dzavaJudha.
Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
20 Munozviziva kuti handina kuzeza kuparidza kana chinhu chaizokubatsirai imi, asi ndakakudzidzisai pachena uye muimba neimba.
And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
21 Ndakapupura kuna vose vaJudha navaGiriki kuti vanofanira kudzokera kuna Mwari vagotendeuka uye vagotenda kuna Ishe Jesu.
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 “Zvino ndamanikidzwa noMweya, ndiri kuenda kuJerusarema, ndisingazivi hangu zvichaitika kwandiri.
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23 Chandinongoziva ndechokuti muguta rimwe nerimwe Mweya Mutsvene anondiyambira kuti kusungwa nokutambudzika zvakandirindira.
Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24 Zvisinei hazvo, ini handioni upenyu hwangu sechinhu chinokosha, dai bedzi ndapedza nhangemutange yangu uye ndapedzisa basa randakapiwa naIshe Jesu, basa rokupupura vhangeri renyasha dzaMwari.
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might 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 “Zvino ndinoziva kuti hakuna pakati penyu imi vandakafamba navo ndichiparidza vhangeri roushe achazondionazve.
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 Naizvozvo ndinotaura kwamuri nhasi kuti handina mhosva yeropa ravanhu vose.
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 Nokuti handina kuzeza kukuparidzirai kuda kwose kwaMwari.
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Zvichenjererei imi pachenyu neboka rose ramakaitwa vatariri varo naMweya Mutsvene. Fudzai kereke yaMwari, yaakatenga neropa rake pachake.
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 Ndinoziva kuti kana ndabva, mapere achapinda pakati penyu asingaregi boka.
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Kunyange pakati penyu iyemi vanhu vachamuka vachiminamisa chokwadi vachiitira kuti vatape vadzidzi kuti vavatevere.
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Saka rindai! Rangarirai kuti makore matatu handina kumborega kukuyambirai mumwe nomumwe wenyu, usiku namasikati nemisodzi.
Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 “Zvino ndinokuisai kuna Mwari nokushoko renyasha dzake, iro rinogona kukuvakai uye richikupai nhaka pakati paavo vakaitwa vatsvene.
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 which are sanctified.
33 Handina kumbochiva sirivha yomunhu kana goridhe kana nguo yomunhu.
I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Imi munoziva pachenyu kuti maoko angu aya akabatira kushayiwa kwangu nokushayiwa kwavandaiva navo.
Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 Mune zvose zvandakaita, ndakakuratidzai kuti namabatiro akaoma aya, tinofanira kubatsira vasina simba, tichirangarira mashoko aShe Jesu pachake paakati, ‘Kupa kwakaropafadzwa kupfuura kugamuchira.’”
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 Akati ataura izvi, akapfugama pamwe chete navo vose uye vakanyengetera.
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
37 Vose vakachema pavakamumbundikira uye vakamutsvoda.
And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,
38 Zvakanyanya kuvarwadza mashoko aakataura achiti havaizoona chiso chakezve. Ipapo vakamuperekedza kuchikepe.
Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
