< Acts 20 >

1 And after the uproar ceased, Paul having summoned the disciples and having embraced them, he departed to go into Macedonia.
Na rĩrĩ, ngũĩ ĩyo yarĩkia gũthira, Paũlũ agĩtũmanĩra arutwo, na aarĩkia kũmomĩrĩria, akĩmoigĩra ũhoro agĩthiĩ Makedonia.
2 And having passed through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece.
Agĩtuĩkanĩria mĩena ya kuo, akĩaragia ciugo nyingĩ cia kũũmĩrĩria andũ, na marigĩrĩrio agĩkinya bũrũri wa Ũyunani,
3 And having spent three months there, and a conspiracy having developed against him by Jews, intending to go up into Syria, a decision developed to return through Macedonia.
kũrĩa aaikarire mĩeri ĩtatũ. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Paũlũ eeharagĩria kũhaica marikabu athiĩ Suriata, agĩtua itua gũcookera Makedonia, tondũ Ayahudi nĩmaciirĩire kũmwĩka ũũru.
4 And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean, and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius a Derbean, and Timothy, and the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.
Paũlũ aathiire marĩ hamwe na Sopatiro mũrũ wa Puro, mũndũ wa kuuma Berea, na Arisitariko, na Sekundo, andũ a kuuma Thesalonike, na Gayo wa kuuma Deribe, o hamwe na Timotheo, ningĩ na Tikiko, na Tirofimo, andũ a kuuma bũrũri wa Asia.
5 These men, who went ahead, awaited us at Troas.
Andũ acio magĩthiĩ mbere magĩtweterera kũu Teroa.
6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas within five days, where we stayed seven days.
No ithuĩ tũkĩhaica marikabu, tũkiuma Filipi thuutha wa Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia, na thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩtano, tũgĩkora andũ arĩa angĩ kũu Teroa, nakuo tũgĩikara mĩthenya mũgwanja.
7 And upon the first day of the week, the disciples having come together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged his speech until midnight.
Mũthenya wa mbere wa kiumia nĩtwagomanire hamwe nĩguo twenyũre mũgate. Paũlũ akĩarĩria andũ, na tondũ nĩatanyĩte gũthiĩ mũthenya ũcio warũmĩrĩire-rĩ, agĩthiĩ na mbere kwaria nginya ũtukũ gatagatĩ.
8 And there were considerable lights in the upper floor where we were gathered together.
Nĩ kwarĩ na matawa maingĩ maakanaga kũu nyũmba ya igũrũ kũrĩa twagomanĩte.
9 And a certain young man named Eutychus sitting in the window, being carried away by deep sleep (Paul discoursing on more), being carried away by sleep, he fell down below from the third floor, and was taken up dead.
Nake mwanake wetagwo Eutiko aikarĩte ndirica-inĩ, na o ũrĩa Paũlũ aathiaga na mbere na kwaria-rĩ, noguo mwanake ũcio akĩragĩrĩria gũtoorio nĩ toro. Rĩrĩa aakomire, akĩgũa thĩ kuuma ngoroba ya gatatũ nao mamuoya magĩkora nĩ mũkuũ.
10 But Paul having come down, he fell on him, and having embraced him he said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.
Paũlũ agĩikũrũka, agĩkomera mwanake ũcio akĩmũkumbatĩria akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai kũmaka, arĩ muoyo!”
11 And after getting up, and having broken bread and eaten, and having conversed for a considerable time, until dawn, thus he departed.
Agĩcooka akĩambata nyũmba ya igũrũ, akĩenyũra mũgate na akĩrĩa. Na thuutha wa kũmaarĩria nginya gũgĩkĩa-rĩ, akiuma kũu, agĩthiĩ.
12 And they brought the boy alive, and were not a little comforted.
Nao andũ makĩinũkia mwanake ũcio arĩ muoyo, na mahooreire ngoro mũno.
13 But we, having gone ahead to the ship, went up to Assos, intending from there to take up Paul, for so it was arranged, he himself intending to go on foot.
No ithuĩ tũgĩthiĩ mbere tũgĩtoonya marikabu tũgĩthiĩ nginya Aso, kũrĩa twathiire tũkĩoyaga Paũlũ. Aathondekete mũbango ũyũ mbere tondũ we athiĩte kũu magũrũ.
14 And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aatũtũngire kũu Aso, tũkĩmũkuua na marikabu, tũgĩthiĩ nginya Mitilene.
15 And having sailed from there on the next day, we arrived opposite Chios, and the next day we came near to Samos. And having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus.
Mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire tũkĩhaica marikabu, tũgĩthiĩ tũgĩkinya harĩa haaringaine na Kio, na thuutha wa mũthenya ũcio tũgĩkinya Samo, naguo mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire, tũgĩkinya Mileto.
16 For Paul determined to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not happen to lose time in Asia. For he was hastening, if it were possible, for him to become at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
Paũlũ nĩatuĩte itua rĩa gũthiĩ ahĩtũkĩte Efeso na marikabu nĩguo ndagate mahinda kũu bũrũri wa Asia, nĩ ũndũ nĩehĩkaga nĩguo kwahoteka akinye Jerusalemu, mũthenya wa Bendegothito.
17 And from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he summoned the elders of the congregation.
Paũlũ arĩ kũu Mileto, agĩtũmana Efeso, agĩĩta athuuri a kanitha moke harĩ we.
18 And when they came to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day in which I stepped in Asia, how I became with you all the time,
Nao maakinya, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ nĩ mũũĩ ũrĩa ndaatũũraga ihinda rĩrĩa rĩothe ndaaikarire na inyuĩ, kuuma o mũthenya wa mbere ũrĩa ndookire bũrũri wa Asia.
19 serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears and trials that befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews.
Nĩndatungatĩire Mwathani ndĩnyiihĩtie mũno na ndĩ na maithori, o na gũtuĩka nĩndageririo mũno nĩ ũndũ Ayahudi nĩmaathugundaga kũnjĩka ũũru.
20 How I kept back nothing of these things that are beneficial, not to inform you, and to teach you in public, and from house to house,
Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ ndirĩ ndatithia kũhunjia ũndũ o wothe ũngĩmũguna no ndĩmũrutagĩra mbere ya andũ othe na ngathiiaga o nyũmba o nyũmba.
21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
Na ngoimbũrĩra Ayahudi o hamwe na Ayunani atĩ no nginya magarũrũke kũrĩ Ngai na ũndũ wa kwĩrira na magĩe na wĩtĩkio thĩinĩ wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ.
22 And now behold, I, bound in the spirit, am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me in it,
“Na rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa kũringĩrĩrio nĩ Roho Mũtheru, ndĩrathiĩ Jerusalemu itekũmenya maũndũ marĩa makaangora ndĩ kũu.
23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies from city to city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.
Ũndũ ũrĩa njũũĩ tu nĩ atĩ, Roho Mũtheru nĩandaaraga atĩ matũũra-inĩ mothe, njeera na mathĩĩna nĩcio injetereire.
24 But I make nothing of the matter, nor do I hold my life precious to myself, so as to fully complete my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly testify the good news of the grace of God.
No rĩrĩ, ndirona gũtũũra muoyo kũrĩ na bata harĩ niĩ, korwo no ndĩĩkie ihenya na ndĩĩkie wĩra ũrĩa Mwathani Jesũ aaheete, na nĩguo wĩra wa kuumbũra Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa wega wa Ngai.
25 And now behold, I have seen that ye will no longer see my face, ye all among whom I passed through preaching the kingdom of God.
“Na rĩu nĩnjũũĩ gũtirĩ o na ũmwe thĩinĩ wanyu wa andũ arĩa ndanathiĩ ngĩhunjagĩria ũhoro wa ũthamaki ũgacooka kũnyona rĩngĩ.
26 Therefore I solemnly declare to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all men.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ngũmwĩra ũmũthĩ atĩ gũtirĩ thakame ya mũndũ o na ũmwe ngoorio.
27 For I did not withdraw from declaring to you the whole plan of God.
Nĩ ũndũ niĩ ndirĩ ndatithia kũmũhunjĩria wendi wa Ngai ũrĩ wothe.
28 Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit placed you guardians, to tend the church of the Lord and God, which he purchased by his own blood.
Mwĩmenyererei inyuĩ ene, na mũmenyerere rũũru ruothe rũrĩa Roho Mũtheru amũtuĩte arori aruo. Tuĩkai arĩithi a kanitha wa Ngai, ũrĩa aagũrire na thakame yake mwene.
29 For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ ndaarĩkia gũthiĩ, njũũi ndĩĩani nĩigooka gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu na itigacaaĩra rũũru rũrũ.
30 And from you yourselves men will rise up, speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after them.
O na ningĩ kuuma harĩ inyuĩ nĩgũkoimĩra andũ, na mogomie ũhoro-wa-ma nĩgeetha maguucĩrĩrie arutwo mamarũmĩrĩre.
31 Therefore watch ye, remembering that for three years, night and day, I did not cease warning each one with tears.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ikaragai mwĩhũgĩte! Ririkanai atĩ ihinda rĩa mĩaka ĩtatũ ndirĩ ndatigithĩria gutaara o ũmwe wanyu ũtukũ na mũthenya ngĩitaga maithori.
32 And now brothers, I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.
“Na rĩu ngũmũneana kũrĩ Ngai o na kũrĩ ũhoro wa wega wake, ũrĩa ũngĩhota kũmwaka wega mũrũme na mũgĩe na igai hamwe na andũ arĩa othe matheretio.
33 I coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
Niĩ ndirĩ ndacuumĩkĩra betha kana thahabu, o na kana nguo ya mũndũ o wothe.
34 Ye yourselves know that these hands served my needs, and to those who were with me.
Inyuĩ ene nĩmũũĩ atĩ ndaarutaga wĩra na moko makwa nĩ ũndũ wa mabata makwa niĩ mwene, na mabata ma andũ arĩa ndakoragwo nao.
35 I gave you a glimpse of all things, that so laboring ye ought to aid the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Maũndũ-inĩ marĩa mothe ndeekire, nĩndamuonirie atĩ no nginya tũteithagie andũ arĩa matarĩ hinya, na ũndũ wa kũruta wĩra mũritũ ta ũcio, tũkĩririkanaga ciugo iria ciaririo nĩ Mwathani Jesũ we mwene rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Kũheana nĩ kũrĩ irathimo nyingĩ gũkĩra kũheo.’”
36 And having spoken these things, having knelt down, he prayed with them all.
Aarĩkia kuuga ũguo, agĩturia ndu hamwe nao othe makĩhooya.
37 And there developed considerable weeping of all. And having fallen on Paul's neck, they kissed him much,
Nao othe makĩrĩra makĩmũhĩmbagĩria na makĩmũmumunya.
38 sorrowing especially for the word that he had spoken, that they were going to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
Ũndũ ũrĩa wamekĩrire kĩeha mũno makĩria, nĩ ũrĩa aameerire atĩ matigacooka kũmuona ũthiũ rĩngĩ. Magĩcooka makĩmumagaria nginya marikabu-inĩ.
