¹But after the tumult had ceased, Paul having called the disciples to [him] and embraced [them], went away to go to Macedonia.

¹Ile ghasia ya Efeso ilipokwisha tulia Paulo aliwaita pamoja wale waumini, akawatia moyo. Kisha akawaaga, akasafiri kwenda Makedonia.

²And having passed through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he came to Greece.

²Alipitia sehemu za nchi zile akiwatia watu moyo kwa maneno mengi. Halafu akafika Ugiriki.

³And 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.

³ambako alikaa kwa miezi mitatu. Alipokuwa anajitayarisha kwenda Siria, aligundua kwamba Wayahudi walikuwa wanamfanyia mpango mbaya; hivyo aliamua kurudi kwa kupitia Makedonia.

⁴And 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.

⁴Sopatro, mwana wa Pirho kutoka Berea, aliandamana naye; pia Aristarko na Sekundo kutoka Thesalonika, Gayo kutoka Derbe, Timotheo, Tukiko na Trofimo wa mkoa wa Asia.

⁵These going before waited for us in Troas;

⁵Hao walitutangulia na kutungojea kule Troa.

⁶but 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.

⁶Sisi, baada ya sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa chachu, tulipanda meli kutoka Filipi na baada ya siku tatu tukawafikia kule Troa. Huko tulikaa kwa muda wa juma moja.

⁷And 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.

⁷Jumamosi jioni, tulikutana ili kumega mkate. Kwa vile Paulo alikuwa amekusudia kuondoka kesho yake, aliwahutubia watu na kuendelea kuongea nao hadi usiku wa manane.

⁸And there were many lights in the upper room where we were assembled.

⁸Katika chumba tulimokuwa, ghorofani, kulikuwa na taa nyingi zinawaka.

⁹And 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.

⁹Kijana mmoja aitwaye Eutuko alikuwa ameketi dirishani wakati Paulo alipokuwa anaendelea kuhutubu. Eutuko alianza kusinzia kidogokidogo na hatimaye usingizi ukambana, akaanguka chini kutoka ghorofa ya tatu. Wakamwokota amekwisha kufa.

¹⁰But Paul descending fell upon him, and enfolding [him] [in his arms], said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

¹⁰Lakini Paulo alishuka chini, akainama, akamkumbatia na kusema, "Msiwe na wasiwasi maana kuna uhai bado ndani yake."

¹¹And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away.

¹¹Kisha akapanda tena ghorofani, akamega mkate, akala. Aliendelea kuhubiri kwa muda mrefu hadi alfajiri, halafu akaondoka.

¹²And they brought [away] the boy alive, and were no little comforted.

¹²Wale watu walimchukua yule kijana nyumbani akiwa mzima kabisa, wakapata kitulizo kikubwa.

¹³And 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.

¹³Sisi tulipanda meli tukatangulia kwenda Aso ambako tungemchukua Paulo. Ndivyo alivyopanga; maana alitaka kufika huko kwa kupitia nchi kavu.

¹⁴And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him on board, we came to Mitylene;

¹⁴Basi, alitukuta kule Aso, tukampandisha melini, tukaenda Mitulene.

¹⁵and 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:

¹⁵Kutoka huko tulisafiri tukafika Kio kesho yake. Siku ya pili, tulitia nanga Samo na kesho yake tukafika Mileto.

¹⁶for 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.

¹⁶Paulo alikuwa amekusudia kuendelea na safari kwa meli bila kupitia Efeso ili asikawie zaidi huko Asia. Alikuwa na haraka ya kufika Yerusalemu kwa sikukuu ya Pentekoste kama ingewezekana.

¹⁷But from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he called over [to him] the elders of the assembly.

¹⁷Kutoka Mileto Paulo alituma ujumbe kwa wazee wa Efeso wakutane naye.

¹⁸And 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,

¹⁸Walipofika kwake aliwaambia, "Mnajua jinsi nilivyotumia wakati wote pamoja nanyi tangu siku ile ya kwanza nilipofika Asia.

¹⁹serving the Lord with all lowliness, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews;

¹⁹Mnajua jinsi nilivyomtumikia Bwana kwa unyenyekevu wote, kwa machozi na matatizo yaliyonipata kutokana na mipango ya hila ya Wayahudi.

²⁰how 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,

²⁰Mnajua kwamba sikusita hata kidogo kuwahubiria hadharani na nyumbani mwenu na kuwafundisha chochote ambacho kingewasaidieni.

²¹testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

²¹Niliwaonya wote--Wayahudi kadhalika na watu wa mataifa, wamgeukie Mungu na kumwamini Bwana wetu Yesu.

²²And now, behold, bound in my spirit *I* go to Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall happen to me in it;

²²Sasa, sikilizeni! Mimi, nikiwa ninamtii Roho, nakwenda Yerusalemu bila kufahamu yatakayonipata huko.

²³only that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.

²³Ninachojua tu ni kwamba Roho Mtakatifu ananithibitishia katika kila mji kwamba vifungo na mateso ndivyo vinavyoningojea.

²⁴But 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.

²⁴Lakini, siuthamini uhai wangu kuwa ni kitu sana kwangu. Nataka tu nikamilishe ule utume wangu na kumaliza ile kazi aliyonipa Bwana Yesu niifanye, yaani nitangaze Habari Njema ya neema ya Mungu.

²⁵And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom [of God], shall see my face no more.

²⁵"Nimekuwa nikienda huko na huko kati yenu nikiuhubiri Ufalme wa Mungu. Sasa lakini, najua hakuna hata mmoja wenu atakayeniona tena.

²⁶Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all,

²⁶Hivyo, leo hii ninawathibitishieni rasmi kwamba ikijatokea akapotea mmoja wenu, mimi sina lawama yoyote.

²⁷for I have not shrunk from announcing to you all the counsel of God.

²⁷Kwa maana sikusita hata kidogo kuwatangazieni azimio lote la Mungu.

²⁸Take 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.

²⁸Jihadharini wenyewe; lilindeni lile kundi ambalo Roho Mtakatifu amewaweka ninyi muwe walezi wake. Lichungeni kanisa la Mungu ambalo amejipatia kwa damu ya Mwanae.

²⁹[For] *I* know [this,] that there will come in amongst you after my departure grievous wolves, not sparing the flock;

²⁹Nafahamu vizuri sana kwamba baada ya kuondoka kwangu mbwa mwitu wakali watawavamieni, na hawatakuwa na huruma kwa kundi hilo.

³⁰and from among your own selves shall rise up men speaking perverted things to draw away the disciples after them.

³⁰Hata kutoka miongoni mwenu watatokea watu ambao watasema mambo ya uongo ili kuwapotosha watu na kuwafanya wawafuate wao tu.

³¹Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not admonishing each one [of you] with tears.

³¹Kwa hiyo, muwe macho mkikumbuka kwamba kwa muda wa miaka mitatu, usiku na mchana, sikuchoka kumwonya kila mmoja wenu kwa machozi.

³²And 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.

³²"Na sasa basi, ninawaweka ninyi chini ya ulinzi wa Mungu na ujumbe wa neema yake. Yeye anao uwezo wa kuwajenga ninyi na kuwawezesha mzipate zile baraka alizowawekea watu wake.

³³I have coveted [the] silver or gold or clothing of no one.

³³Mimi sikutamani hata mara moja fedha, wala dhahabu, wala nguo za mtu yeyote.

³⁴Yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my wants, and to those who were with me.

³⁴Mnajua ninyi wenyewe kwamba nimefanya kazi kwa mikono yangu mwenyewe, ili kujipatia mahitaji yangu na ya wenzangu.

³⁵I 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.

³⁵Nimekuwa nikiwapeni daima mfano kwamba kwa kufanya kazi mithili hiyo tunapaswa kuwasaidia walio dhaifu, tukikumbuka maneno ya Bwana Yesu mwenyewe: Heri zaidi kutoa kuliko kupokea."

³⁶And having said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

³⁶Baada ya kusema hayo, Paulo alipiga magoti pamoja nao wote, akasali.

³⁷And they all wept sore; and falling upon the neck of Paul they ardently kissed him,

³⁷Wote walikuwa wanalia; wakamwaga kwa kumkumbatia na kumbusu.

³⁸specially 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.

³⁸Jambo lililowahuzunisha zaidi lilikuwa neno alilosema kwamba hawangemwona tena. Basi, wakamsindikiza hadi melini.
