Acts 20
1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.
Bope rakati rapera, Pauro akadana vadzidzi, uye shure kwokuvakurudzira, akaonekana navo akasimuka akaenda kuMasedhonia.
2 When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
Akafamba nomumatunhu ayo, achitaura mashoko mazhinji okukurudzira vanhu, uye pakupedzisira akazosvika kuGirisi,
3 When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
uko kwaakandogara kwemwedzi mitatu. Nokuda kwokuti vaJudha vakanga vaita rangano yakaipa pamusoro pake paakanga oda kukwira chikepe kuti aende kuSiria, akafunga kudzokerazve nokuMasedhonia.
4 These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
Akaperekedzwa naSopata mwanakomana waPirasi wokuBheria, navanaAristakusi naSekundo, vaibva kuTesaronika, naGayo wokuDhebhe, naTimotiwo uye Tikikasi naTirofimasi vaibva mudunhu reEzhia.
5 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.
Varume ava vakatungamira vakandotimirira paTroasi.
6 We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.
Asi takazokwira chikepe kubva kuFiripi shure kwoMutambo weZvingwa Zvisina Mbiriso, uye shure kwamazuva mashanu takazobatana navamwe paTroasi, apo patakazogara kwamazuva manomwe.
7 On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.
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.
8 There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.
Makanga mune mwenje mizhinji muimba yapamusoro matakanga tichisangana.
9 A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.
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.
10 Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Do not be troubled, for his life is in him.”
Pauro akaburuka akasvikozviwisira pamusoro pejaya akamugumbatira mumaoko ake. Akati, “Musatya, mupenyu!”
11 When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.
Ipapo akakwirazve paimba yapamusoro akamedura chingwa akadya. Shure kwokutaura navo kusvikira kwaedza, akazoenda hake.
12 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.
Vanhu vakatora mujaya uya vakaenda naye kumusha ari mupenyu uye vakanyaradzwa zvikuru.
13 But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.
Isu takatungamira nechikepe tikaenda kuAsosi, uko Pauro aizokwirawo chikepe. Akanga aronga izvi nokuti akanga achizoenda ikoko netsoka.
14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.
Paakasangana nesu paAsosi, takamukwidza tikapfuurira kuMitirene.
15 Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.
Fume mangwana takamukapo nechikepe tikandosvika pakatarisana neKiyosi. Zuva rakatevera iroro takayambuka tikasvika kuSamosi, uye zuva rakatevera takasvika paMiretasi.
16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
Pauro akanga afunga zvokupfuura napaEfeso nechikepe achiitira kuti vasapedza nguva vari munyika yeEzhia nokuti akanga achimhanyira kusvika kuJerusarema, kana zvaibvira, nezuva rePendekosti.
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.
Pauro ari paMiretasi, akatumira shoko kuEfeso kundodana vakuru vekereke.
18 When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,
Vakati vasvika, akati kwavari, “Imi munoziva kuti ndakagara sei nemi panguva yose yandaiva nemi, kubvira pazuva rokutanga randakasvika munyika yeEzhia.
19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
Ndakashumira Ishe nokuzvininipisa zvikuru uye nemisodzi, kunyange ndakaedzwa zvikuru nerangano dzavaJudha.
20 how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
Munozviziva kuti handina kuzeza kuparidza kana chinhu chaizokubatsirai imi, asi ndakakudzidzisai pachena uye muimba neimba.
21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
Ndakapupura kuna vose vaJudha navaGiriki kuti vanofanira kudzokera kuna Mwari vagotendeuka uye vagotenda kuna Ishe Jesu.
22 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;
“Zvino ndamanikidzwa noMweya, ndiri kuenda kuJerusarema, ndisingazivi hangu zvichaitika kwandiri.
23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.
Chandinongoziva ndechokuti muguta rimwe nerimwe Mweya Mutsvene anondiyambira kuti kusungwa nokutambudzika zvakandirindira.
24 But these things do not count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.
Zvisinei hazvo, ini handioni upenyu hwangu sechinhu chinokosha, dai bedzi ndapedza nhangemutange yangu uye ndapedzisa basa randakapiwa naIshe Jesu, basa rokupupura vhangeri renyasha dzaMwari.
25 “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.
“Zvino ndinoziva kuti hakuna pakati penyu imi vandakafamba navo ndichiparidza vhangeri roushe achazondionazve.
26 Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,
Naizvozvo ndinotaura kwamuri nhasi kuti handina mhosva yeropa ravanhu vose.
27 for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
Nokuti handina kuzeza kukuparidzirai kuda kwose kwaMwari.
28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.
Zvichenjererei imi pachenyu neboka rose ramakaitwa vatariri varo naMweya Mutsvene. Fudzai kereke yaMwari, yaakatenga neropa rake pachake.
29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Ndinoziva kuti kana ndabva, mapere achapinda pakati penyu asingaregi boka.
30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
Kunyange pakati penyu iyemi vanhu vachamuka vachiminamisa chokwadi vachiitira kuti vatape vadzidzi kuti vavatevere.
31 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
Saka rindai! Rangarirai kuti makore matatu handina kumborega kukuyambirai mumwe nomumwe wenyu, usiku namasikati nemisodzi.
32 Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
“Zvino ndinokuisai kuna Mwari nokushoko renyasha dzake, iro rinogona kukuvakai uye richikupai nhaka pakati paavo vakaitwa vatsvene.
33 I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.
Handina kumbochiva sirivha yomunhu kana goridhe kana nguo yomunhu.
34 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.
Imi munoziva pachenyu kuti maoko angu aya akabatira kushayiwa kwangu nokushayiwa kwavandaiva navo.
35 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Mune zvose zvandakaita, ndakakuratidzai kuti namabatiro akaoma aya, tinofanira kubatsira vasina simba, tichirangarira mashoko aShe Jesu pachake paakati, ‘Kupa kwakaropafadzwa kupfuura kugamuchira.’”
36 When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
Akati ataura izvi, akapfugama pamwe chete navo vose uye vakanyengetera.
37 They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,
Vose vakachema pavakamumbundikira uye vakamutsvoda.
38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
Zvakanyanya kuvarwadza mashoko aakataura achiti havaizoona chiso chakezve. Ipapo vakamuperekedza kuchikepe.
