Acts 20
1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.
Chitututu chila pechamaliki Pauli avakemili vamsadika vala akavakangamalisa mtima. Kangi akalagana nawu na kuhamba Makedonia.
2 When he had gone through those parts, and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
Apitayi pandi za muji wula kuvakangamalisa vandu mitima mu malovi gaki gamahele, na kuhika ku Ugiliki.
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.
Kwenuko atamili miyehi yidatu. Hinu peajitendeleka kuhamba ku Silia, akamanya kuvya Vayawudi vavi mukumkitila mpangu uhakau, ndi akahamula kuwuya munjila ya ku Makedonia.
4 He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus of Beroea; Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians; Gaius of Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
Vandu ava ndi vealongosini nawu, Sapato mwana wa Piho mundu wa ku Belea, Alistako na Sekundo vandu va ku Tesalonike, vangi vavi Gayo mkolonjinji ku Delibe, Timoti pamonga na Tukiko na Tofimo vandu va kuhuma muji wa Asia.
5 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.
Vandu ava vatilongolili na kuhamba kutilindila ku Tloa kula.
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.
Nambu tete, pawamaliki Mselebuko wa Mabumunda gangali ngemeku, tayingili muwatu kuhuma ku Filipi, mulugendu lwa magono mhanu ndi tikahika ku Tloa. Tatamili kwenuko lijuma limonga.
7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and continued his speech until midnight.
Ndi Jumamosi kimihi takonganiki ndava ya kulya pamonga. Muni Pauli aganayi kuwuka chilau yaki, ndi avakokosili vandu mbaka pagati ya kilu.
8 There were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together.
Kugolofa kwetakonganiki kwavili na hahi zamahele ziyaka.
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 story, and was taken up dead.
Msongolo mmonga liina laki Eutuko atamili palidilisha lukumbi Pauli ikokosa palukumbi lutali. Eutiko atumbwili kutitila lugono hati pamwishu lugono lwamgalisi akagwa kuhuma ku golofa ya datu mbaka pahi. Pevahambili kumyinula vamkoli amali kufwa.
10 Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him."
Pauli akahuluka pahi, akajigonesa panani yaki na kumkumbatila, akajova, “Mkoto kuvemba ndava avi mumi.”
11 When he had gone up, and had broken bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.
Akakwela kavili kuchumba cha kunani kula, akanukula libumunda na kulya. Akayendelela kukokosa kwa lukumbi lutali mbaka hambakucha, kangi akawuka.
12 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.
Vandu vala vakawuya nayu msongolo yula kunyumba alamili hotohoto, ndi vakapoleswa neju.
13 But we who went 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.
Nambu tete tayingili muwatu kulongolela ku Aso kwetikumtola Pauli. Ndi cheapangili mwene muni aganili kuhika kwenuko munjila ya kundumba.
14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard, and came to Mitylene.
Hinu atikolili ku Aso tikamutola muwatu, na kuhamba nayu Mitulene.
15 Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we landed at Samos, and the day after we came to Miletus.
Tavi mulugendu lwa kuhuma kwenuko na chilau yaki tahikili Kio. Pamalau yaki tahikili ku Samo na Pamtondogolo yaki tikahika ku Mileto.
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.
Ndava Pauli aganili lepi kuvedukila ku Efeso muni akotoka kutamakisa neju mulima wa Asia. Ayumbatika kuhika ku Yelusalemu kumselebuko wa Pentekoste ngati yihotoleka.
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to himself the elders of the church.
Kuhuma Mileto Pauli avatumili ujumbi kwa vachilongosi va msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va ku Efeso vakonganika nayu.
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,
Hinu pavamhikalili akavajovela, mwavene mmanyili chenitamili na nyenye magono goha kutumbula ligono la kutumbula panahikili mulima uwu wa Asia.
19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
Mmanyili chenimuhengili Bambu cha ungolongondi woha, na maholi, mu mang'ahiso goha geganikolili ndava mipangu mihakau ya Vayawudi.
20 how I did not hold back from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly and from house to house,
Mmanyili kuvya hati padebe nayogwipi lepi kuvakokosela pavandu na munyumba zinu, kuvawula chochoha chechikuvatangatila.
21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
Navabesili vandu voha, Vayawudi na vangali Vayawudi, vamuwuyila Chapanga na kumsadika Bambu witu Yesu.
22 And now, look, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;
Hinu, myuwanila! Nikumyidakila Mpungu Msopi, nihamba ku Yelusalemu changali kumanya gegakunikolela.
23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.
Nga chindu chimonga chenikuchimanya, Mpungu Msopi akunilangisa kuvya mukila muji chifungu na mang'ahiso ndi vyevyi kunilindila.
24 But I make my life an account of nothing precious to myself, so that I may finish my race, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.
Nambu nivalanga lepi wumi wangu kuvya chindu, kwa nene ndi kumalakisa utumi wa lihengu lila leanipelili Bambu Yesu, kujova ndava ya Lilovi la Bwina la ubwina wa Chapanga.
25 "And now, look, I know that you all, among whom I went about proclaiming the Kingdom, will see my face no more.
“Nigendili pagati yinu mwavoha kukokosa Unkosi wa Chapanga. Nambu hinu, nimanyili avi lepi mundu hati mmonga winu mweakuniwona kavili.
26 Therefore I testify to you today that I am innocent of everyone's blood,
Hinu lelu nijova chakaka, kuvya mmonga winu akayaga, mhalu wa nene lepi.
27 for I did not hold back from declaring to you the whole plan of God.
Ndava muni hata padebe naleki lepi kuvakokosela mwapangu woha wa Chapanga.
28 Watch out for yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which he purchased with his own blood.
Mujiyangalila mwavene, myungayi msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu uwu, Mpungu Msopi avaviki nyenye mvya valonda vaki. Leajipatili kwa ngasi ya Mwana waki.
29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Nimanyili kuvya peniwukayi, mabwa gakali ga kudahi yati gavazangila changali lipyana msambi wenuwo.
30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
Hati pagati yinu yati vihumila vandu veviwula mawuliwu ga udese muni vavayaganisa vamsadika, vavalanda vene.
31 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
Ndava ya yeniyo, mvya mihu kuni mukumbukayi kuvya mulukumbi lwa miyaka yidatu muhi na kilu katu nalekili lepi kumbesa kila mmonga winu kwa maholi.”
32 Now 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.
“Hinu ndi, nikuvavika nyenye pahi muulonda waki Chapanga na ujumbi wa mota yaki. Mwene anauhotola wa kuvasindimalisa na kuvapela uhali pamonga nawu vandu vaki vamsopi.
33 I coveted no one's silver, or gold, or clothing.
Nene nanogili lepi mashonga amala zahabu amala nyula za mundu yeyoha.
34 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.
Mwavene mmanyili kuvya namwene nihegili lihengu mu mawoko gangu, ndava ya kupata gegiganikiwa kwa nene na vayangu.
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.'"
Pamahele nivalangisi luhumu kuvya kuhenga mahengu neju, yikutigana kuvatangatila vangali makakala, na tikumbuka mu malovi ga Bambu Yesu mwene, ‘Mbanga neju kuwusa kuliku kupokela.’”
36 When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
Peamali kujova genago, Pauli akafugama pamonga nawu voha akayupa kwa Chapanga.
37 They all wept a lot, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,
Voha vakavya mukuvemba neju, pevalaga Pauli kuni vamkumbatili cha uganu.
38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
Lijambu lelavavinisi neju ndi lila leajovili yati vakumlola lepi kavili. Hinu ndi vamhindikili mbaka muwatu.
