Incito 20
1 Mipyopyongano mpoyalapwa, Paulo walabunganya beshikwiya. Mpwalamba maswi akubayuminisha, walabalaya walaya ku Makedoniya.
But after the tumult had ceased, Paul having called the disciples to [him] and embraced [them], went away to go to Macedonia.
2 Walapitana mubimpansha byonse kaya kuyuminisha beshikwiya, kupitila mukukambauka maswi a Lesa, mpaka walashika ku Gilisi.
And having passed through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he came to Greece.
3 Uko walekalako myenshi itatu. Mpwalikulibambila bulwendo bwa kuya ku Siliya mubwato, walanyumfwa kwambeti, Bayuda balapangananga sha kumushina. Pacebo ico, walayeyeti enga akupitila ku Makedoniya.
And having spent three months [there], a treacherous plot against him having been set on foot by the Jews, as he was going to sail to Syria, [the] resolution was adopted of returning through Macedonia.
4 Paulo walaya pamo ne bantu aba; Sopatulo mwanendi Pailasi waku Beleya ne Alisitako ne Sekunda, ba ku Tesalonika ne Gayo waku Debe ne Timoti ne Tukiko kayi ne Tulofimo ba micimpansha ca Asiya.
And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater [son] of Pyrrhus, a Berean; and of Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius and Timotheus of Derbe, and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 Aba balatanguna kushika ku Tulowa, nkobali kutupembelela.
These going before waited for us in Troas;
6 Mpobwalapita busuba bwakusekelela shinkwa wabula cishikufufumusha, ne njafwe twalanyamuka ne bwato kufuma ku Filipi. Panyuma pa kwenda bulwendo bwa masuba asanu twalashika ku Tulowa, uko nkotwalabacana. Twalekalako masuba asanu ne abili.
but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and we came to them to Troas in five days, where we spent seven days.
7 Lino pa busuba butanshi bwa nsondo, mpotwalabungana pamo kulya mulalilo wakwanukilapo Mwami Yesu, Paulo walatatika kwambila bantu mpaka pakati pa mashiku, pakwinga walikuyanda kufumako mumene mene.
And the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, about to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged the discourse till midnight.
8 Mwalikuba mimuni ingi mucipinda capelu ca ng'anda njetwalikuba twabunganamo.
And there were many lights in the upper room where we were assembled.
9 Mutuloba naumbi musepela lina lyakendi Yutika, walikuba wekalila pa cipense, walatatika kushinshila. Pakwinga Paulo walapitilisha kwamba cindi citali, muntuyu walona tulo, walawa panshi kufuma pelu palupingwe lwabutatu, balacana wafwa.
And a certain youth, by name Eutychus, sitting at the window-opening, overpowered by deep sleep, while Paul discoursed very much at length, having been overpowered by the sleep, fell from the third story down to the bottom, and was taken up dead.
10 Popelapo Paulo walaseluka panshi, ne kulambalala pamubili wa mutuloba uyu, ne kumufukata. Paulo walabambila bantu balikubapo, “Kamutapenga sobwe, ni muyumi.”
But Paul descending fell upon him, and enfolding [him] [in his arms], said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.
11 Kufumapo Paulo walabwelela mucipinda capelu mung'anda. Walalya mulalilo wakwanukilapo Mwami Yesu pamo ne beshikwiya bonse balikubapo. Walabandika nabo cindi citali. Walafumako kumaca lisuba kalili pepi kupula.
And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away.
12 Usa mutuloba balamutwala kung'anda kucomwabo kali muyumi ntaa! Neco bonse balekalika myoyo.
And they brought [away] the boy alive, and were no little comforted.
13 Popelapo twalatanguna kuya ku Asosi mu bwato. Pakwinga walatwambileti tukakumanine ku Asosi kwambeti nkoti akatantile mu bwato motwalikuba, pakwinga nendi walenda lwa musansa kuya ku Asosi.
And we, having gone before on board ship, sailed off to Assos, going to take in Paul there; for so he had directed, he himself being about to go on foot.
14 Mpwalatucana ku Asosi, walatanta mu bwato motwalikuba ne kuya pamo ku Mitileni.
And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him on board, we came to Mitylene;
15 Busuba bwakonkapo twalashika pepi ne Kiyosi. Twalenda mpaka twalashika ku Samo. Busuba bwalakonkapo twalashika ku Mileto.
and having sailed thence, on the morrow arrived opposite Chios, and the next day put in at Samos; and having stayed at Trogyllium, the next day we came to Miletus:
16 Pakwinga Paulo walayeya kupita kumbali kwa munshi wa Efenso, kwambeti katataya cindi citali mu cimpansha ca Asiya. Walikuba wengana pakwinga walikuyandeti na kacikonsheka, akabenga mu Yelusalemu kabutana bushika busuba bwa Pentekosite.
for Paul thought it desirable to sail by Ephesus, so that he might not be made to spend time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, to be the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.
17 Mpwalikuba pa Mileto, Paulo walatuma muntu ku Efenso kuya kubakuwa bamakulene ba mubungano.
But from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he called over [to him] the elders of the assembly.
18 Mpobalashika walabambileti, “Amwe mucinshi cena ncendalikwikala ne kusebensa pacindi ncendalikuba pamo ne njamwe, kufuma pa busuba mbondalashika mu cimpansha ca Asiya.
And when they were come to him, he said to them, Ye know how I was with you all the time from the first day that I arrived in Asia,
19 Ndalasebensela Mwami Yesu mwakulicepesha, nacimbi cindi ndalikulila misoshi cebo ca masunko ngobalikundetela Bayuda mpobalikupangana sha kushina.
serving the Lord with all lowliness, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews;
20 Mucinshi kwambeti paliya cintu nacikaba cimo, calikuyandika kumunyamfwa ncondalamusoleka, nsombi ndalakambauka ne kumwiyisha makani alambanga sha Yesu, pabantu bangi kayi ne kung'anda ne ng'anda.”
how I held back nothing of what is profitable, so as not to announce [it] to you, and to teach you publicly and in every house,
21 Ndalikubacenjesha Bayuda ne bantu bamishobo naimbi, kwambeti belela kusandukila kuli Lesa, ne kushoma Mwami wetu Yesu.
testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 Cebo cakunyumfwila Mushimu Uswepa, pacino cindi ndenga ku Yelusalemu, nomba nkandicinshi ceti cikenshike kuli njame.
And now, behold, bound in my spirit I go to Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall happen to me in it;
23 Ncenjinshowa ni cakwambeti, mu minshi yonse Mushimu Uswepa ulancenjeshengeti, mapensho ne kusungwa mujele kulampembelenga.
only that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.
24 Nkandasakamananga sha buyumi bwakame sobwe, ncendayandishishinga ni kupwisha ncito njalampa Mwami Yesu, kukambauka Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha luse ulo luli cipo ca Lesa.
But I make no account of [my] life [as] dear to myself, so that I finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.
25 Ndalapitana muli njamwe mwense, kanja kukambauka makani a Bwami bwa Lesa, nomba lino ndicinshi kwambeti nteti mukambonepo sobwe.
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom [of God], shall see my face no more.
26 Neco ndamwambilishinga busuba bwalelo, kwambeti na nabambi mulikoto lyenu ili bakonongeke ntewo mulandu wakame sobwe.
Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all,
27 Pakwinga paliya cintu naba cimo ncendalamusoleka sobwe. Ndalamwambila byonse mbyalayandanga Lesa.
for I have not shrunk from announcing to you all the counsel of God.
28 Mwelela kulilama cena mobene, ne kulama cena likoto lya bantu abo Mushimu Uswepa ngowalamupeti mubembelenga. Kamwembelanga cena bantu mu mubungano wa Lesa, abo mbwalapulusheti babe bakendi kupitila mu lufu lwa Mwanendi.
Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, wherein the Holy Spirit has set you as overseers, to shepherd the assembly of God, which he has purchased with the blood of his own.
29 Ndicinshi kwambeti ame ndakafumapo pa likoto lyenu, baumpe bakalu nibakese pakati penu, beti bakabule nkumbo ne likoto lya bantu bali mu mubungano.
[For] I know [this, ] that there will come in amongst you after my departure grievous wolves, not sparing the flock;
30 Kayi mu likoto lyenu mobene, nimukapunduke bantu beshikwiyisha bya bwepeshi ne kukwelela bangi kulubasu kwabo, kwambeti babakonkele.
and from among your own selves shall rise up men speaking perverted things to draw away the disciples after them.
31 Neco, cetukani! Kamwingashilangeti kwa byaka bitatu ndalikumwiyisha mwense munshi ne mashiku, kandila misoshi.
Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not admonishing each one [of you] with tears.
32 Cakupwililisha, ndamubikinga mu makasa a Lesa, ne mu makani alambanga sha luse lwakendi, elela kumwibaka ne kumupa colwe ico Lesa ncabikila bantu bakendi bonse.
And now I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build [you] up and give [to you] an inheritance among all the sanctified.
33 Ndiya ku kumbwapo mali, nambi cakufwala camuntu uliyense sobwe.
I have coveted [the] silver or gold or clothing of no one.
34 Mobene mucinshi cena kwambeti ndalikusebensa ne makasa akame, kucana byonse byali kuyandika pabuyumi bwakame ne kunyamfwilishako baname mbondalikuba nabo.
Yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my wants, and to those who were with me.
35 Mubintu byonsebi ndalamubonesha kwambeti, kusebensa ne ngofu mbuli ncendalikusebensa, inga tunyamfwako abo balefuka. Cindi conse kamwanukanga maswi ngalamba Mwami Yesu, akwambeti, “Kupa kukute kuleta colwe, kupita kutambula.”
I have shewed you all things, that thus labouring [we] ought to come in aid of the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 Mpwalapwisha kwamba, bantu bonse balikuba pamo ne Paulo, balasuntama ne kupaila kuli Lesa.
And having said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 Bonse bali kabalila mwakompolola mpobalamukumbatila Paulo, ne kumushonshonta pakulayana.
And they all wept sore; and falling upon the neck of Paul they ardently kissed him,
38 Calabapa kungumana ni maswi ngalambeti nteti bakamubonepo kayi. Kufumapo balamushindikila kwalikuba bwato.
specially pained by the word which he had said, that they would no more see his face. And they went down with him to the ship.
