Mabasa 20
1 Shure kwekuguma kwemhirizhonga, Pauro akadanira kwaari vadzidzi, akavambundikira, akabuda kuti aende kuMakedhonia.
Now, after the tumult was ceased, Paul, calling the disciples to him: and embracing them, departed to go into Macedonia.
2 Zvino wakati agura nemativi iwawo, avakurudzira nemashoko mazhinji, akasvika kuGirisi,
And going through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he came into Greece.
3 akati agara mwedzi mitatu, rangano yaitwa neVaJudha pamusoro pake, ava kuda kuenda kuSiriya nechikepe, akazvipira kudzokera nemuMakedhonia.
And when he had continued there three months, as an ambush was laid for him by the Jews, when he was about to embark for Syria, he thought it advisable to return by Macedonia.
4 Zvino Sopatro weBheriya wakamuperekedza kusvika kuAsia, neveVaTesaronika, Arisitako naSekundo, naGayo weDhebhe, naTimotio, uye Tikiko naTrofimo VaAsia.
And Sopater, the Berean, accompanied him as far as Asia; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius, of Derbe, and Timothy: and of the Asiatics, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 Ava vakatungamira vakatimirira paTroasi.
These, going before, staid for us at Troas.
6 Asi isu takabva Firipi nechikepe mushure memazuva ezvingwa zvisina mbiriso, zvino takasvika kwavari paTroasi mumazuva mashanu, patakagara mazuva manomwe.
And we set sail from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we continued seven days.
7 Zvino nemusi wekutanga wevhiki, vadzidzi vakaungana kumedura chingwa, Pauro akaparidza kwavari, achida kubva chifume, akaredzva nhaurwa kusvikira pakati peusiku.
And on the first day of the week, when the disciples met together to break bread, Paul, being about to depart on the morrow, discoursed to them, and continued his speech until midnight.
8 Zvino kwakange kune mwenje mizhinji mukamuri yekumusoro mavakange vakaungana.
And there were many lamps in the upper room, in which we were assembled;
9 Zvino pahwindo pakange pagere rimwe jaya rainzi Yutikosi, rikabatwa nehope kwazvo, Pauro wakati achiparidza nguva refu, iro rikakundwa nehope, rikawira pasi, kubva panhurikwa yechitatu, ndokunongwa rafa.
and a certain young man, whose name was Eutychus, sitting in a window, fell into a profound sleep: and as Paul continued his discourse a long time, he was so overpowered with sleep that he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.
10 Zvino Pauro akaburuka akazviwisira pamusoro paro, akarimbundikira akati: Musazvinetsa; nokuti mweya waro uri mariri.
And Paul went down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Do not make any disturbance, for his life is in him.
11 Wakati akwirazve ndokumedura chingwa ndokudya, akataura navo nguva refu kusvikira kuchiedza, saizvozvo wakaenda.
And going up again, and having broken bread, and eaten, he conversed a considerable time, even till break of day, and so departed.
12 Zvino vakauya nemukomana ari mupenyu, vakanyaradzwa zvisati zviri zvishoma.
And they brought the youth alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 Asi isu, takatungamira kuchikepe, tikaenda nechikepe kuAso, takananga kukwidza Pauro ipapo; nokuti wakange aronga saizvozvo, iye achitarisira kufamba netsoka.
But we went before into the ship, and sailed to Assos, where we are to take up Paul, for so he had appointed, choosing himself to go on foot.
14 Zvino wakati asangana nesu paAso, tikamukwidza tikasvika kuMitirene,
And as soon as he joined us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene,
15 tikabva ipapo nechikepe, chifume tikasvika pakatarisana neKiyo; chifume tikasvika paSamo; ndokugara paTrogiriamu, chifume tikasvika Mireto.
And sailing thence, we came the next day over against Chios; and the day following, we touched at Samos, and having staid at Trogyllium, we came the day after to Miletus.
16 Nokuti Pauro wakange akazvipira kupfuura Efeso nechikepe, kuti asapedza nguva paAsia; nokuti waimhanya, kana zvichibvira kwaari, ave paJerusarema nezuva rePendekosita.
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend any time in Asia; for he earnestly endeavored, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 Zvino ari paMireto wakatumira kuEfeso akadanira vakuru vekereke kwaari.
But, sending to Ephesus, from Miletus, he called thither the elders of the congregation.
18 Zvino vakati vasvika kwaari, akati kwavari: Imwi munoziva kubva pazuva rekutanga randakasvika muAsia, kuti ndakava nemwi sei nguva dzese,
And when they were come to him, he said to them, You know how I have been conversant among you all the time, from the first day in which I entered into Asia,
19 ndichibatira Ishe nekuzvininipisa kwese uye nemisodzi mizhinji, nemiedzo yakandiwira nerangano dzeVaJudha;
serving the Lord, with all humility, and with tears, and trials which befell me by the ambushes of the Jews:
20 kuti handina sei kuvanza zvezvingabatsira, kusakuparidzirai nekukudzidzisai pachena uye muimba neimba,
and how I have suppressed nothing that was advantageous, not neglecting to announce to you, and to teach you publicly and privately;
21 ndichipupura zvese kuVaJudha nekuVaGiriki kutendeukira kuna Mwari, nerutendo kuna Ishe wedu Jesu Kristu.
testifying both to the Jews and Greeks, reformation with respect to God, and faith with respect to our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 Zvino ikozvino tarirai, ini ndinoenda kuJerusarema ndakasungwa neMweya, ndisingazivi zvichandiwira mariri,
And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, bound by the Spirit, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23 kunze kwekuti Mweya Mutsvene anopupura muguta rimwe nerimwe achiti zvisungo nenhamo zvakandigarira.
except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.
24 Asi handirangariri chinhu pane izvi, uye handiverengeri upenyu hwangu kuti chinhu chinokosha kwandiri kuti ndipedze rwendo rwangu nemufaro nebasa randakagamuchira kuna Ishe Jesu rekupupura evhangeri yenyasha dzaMwari.
But I make no account of any of these things, nor do I regard even life itself; so that I may but joyfully finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, even to testify the good news of the favor of God.
25 Zvino ikozvino tarirai, ini ndinoziva kuti imwi mese, vandakafamba pakati penyu ndichiparidza ushe hwaMwari, hamuchazooni chiso changu.
And now, behold, I know that you all, with whom I have conversed, proclaiming the kingdom of God, shall not see my face any more.
26 Naizvozvo ndinopupura kwamuri nezuva ranhasi, kuti ini ndakachena paropa revese;
Wherefore, I testify to you this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men.
27 nokuti handina kuvanza kwekusakuparidzirai zano rese raMwari.
For I have not declined to declare to you all the counsel of God.
28 Naizvozvo zvichenjererei imwi, neboka rese Mweya Mutsvene paakakugadzai vatariri pamusoro paro, kuti mufudze kereke yaMwari, yaakatenga neropa rake amene.
Therefore, take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock over which the Holy Spirit has constituted you overseers; to feed the congregation of the Lord, which he has redeemed with his own blood.
29 Nokuti ini ndinoziva izvi, kuti shure kwekuenda kwangu mapumhi anorura achapinda pakati penyu, asingaregi boka;
For I know this, that after my departure, grievous wolves will enter in among you, having no mercy on the flock.
30 uye kubva pamuri imwi momene pachamuka varume vachataura zvinhu zvinotsausa, kuti vakwezve vadzidzi vavatevere.
Yes, from among your own selves men shall arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Naizvozvo rindai, murangarire kuti kwemakore matatu handina kuguma siku nesikati kuyambira umwe neumwe nemisodzi.
Watch, therefore, remembering that for the space of three years, I ceased not to warn every one, night and day, with tears.
32 Uye ikozvino hama, ndinokukumikidzai kuna Mwari nekushoko renyasha dzake, iye anogona kukuvakai, nekukupai nhaka pakati pevese vakaitwa vatsvene.
And now, brethren, I recommend you to God, and to the word of his favor, who is able to edify you, and to give you an inheritance among all that are sanctified.
33 Handina kuchiva sirivheri kana goridhe kana nguvo yemunhu.
I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Imwiwo momene munoziva kuti maoko awa akabatira kushaiwa kwangu nekwevaiva neni.
Yes, you yourselves know, that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those that were with me.
35 Pazvinhu zvese ndakakuratidzai, kuti muchibata saizvozvi munofanira kubatsira vane utera, nekurangarira mashoko aIshe Jesu, kuti iye wakati: Kwakaropafadzwa kupa kupfuura kugamuchira.
I have showed you all things; how, that thus laboring, you ought to assist the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is much happier to give than to receive.
36 Zvino wakati ataura zvinhu izvi, akafugama, akanyengetera navo vese.
And having said these things, he kneeled down and prayed with them all.
37 Kukava nekuchema kwavo vese kukuru; vakawira pamutsipa waPauro vakamutsvoda,
And there was great lamentation among them all: and falling upon Paul's neck, they kissed him;
38 vachishungurudzika zvikuru neshoko raakataura, kuti havachazooni chiso chake. Zvino vakamuperekedza kuchikepe.
especially grieving for that word which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they conducted him to the ship.
