¹Mhirizhonga yakati yamira, Pauro akadanira kwaari vadzidzi, akavambundikira, ndokubuda kuti aende Makedhonia.

¹And after the uproar ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

²Zvino wakati agura nemativi iwawo, avakurudzira zvikuru nemashoko mazhinji, akasvika Girisi.

²And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.

³Akati agara mwedzi mitatu, zano raitwa nevaJudha pamusoro pake, ava kuda kuenda Siria nechikepe, akazvipira kudzokera nepaMakedhonia.

³And when he had spent three months [there,] and a plot was laid against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

⁴Akaperekedzwa naSopatro weBheriya, neveTesaronika, Arisitako naSekundo, naGayo weDhebhe, naTimotio; uye Tikiko naTrofimo veAsia.

⁴And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater of Beroea, [the son] of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

⁵Ivo vakatungamira vakatimirira paTroasi.

⁵But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.

⁶Asi isu takabva Firipi nechikepe mushure memazuva ezvingwa zvisina mbiriso; tikasvika kwavari paTroasi mumazuva mashanu; patakagara mazuva manomwe.

⁶And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we tarried seven days.

⁷Zvino nemusi wekutanga wevhiki, vadzidzi vaungana kumedura chingwa, Pauro akaparidza kwavari, akagadzirira kuenda chifume; akaredzva mharidzo kusvikira pakati peusiku.

⁷And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight.

⁸Kwakange kune mwenje mizhinji muimba yekumusoro mavakange vakaungana.

⁸And there were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together.

⁹Zvino pahwindo pakange pagere rimwe jaya rainzi Yutiko, rikabatwa nehope kwazvo, zvino Pauro wakati achiramba achiparidza, iro rikakundwa nehope, rikawira pasi, kubva panhurikwa yechitatu, rikasimudzwa rafa.

⁹And there sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus, borne down with deep sleep; and as Paul discoursed yet longer, being borne down by his sleep he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.

¹⁰Ipapo Pauro akaburuka akawira pamusoro paro, akarimbundikira akati: Musazvinetsa, nekuti mweya waro uri mariri.

¹⁰And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him.

¹¹Zvino wakati akwirazve kumusoro, akamedura chingwa akadya, akataura nguva refu kusvikira kuchiedza, saizvozvo wakaenda.

¹¹And when he was gone up, and had broken the bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

¹²Vakauya nemukomana ari mupenyu, vakanyaradzwa zvisati zviri zvishoma.

¹²And they brought the lad alive, and were not a little comforted.

¹³Asi isu takatungamira kuchikepe, tikaenda nechikepe Aso, takananga kukwidza Pauro ipapo, nekuti wakange araira saizvozvo, iye achida kufamba netsoka.

¹³But we going before to the ship set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land.

¹⁴Zvino wakati asangana nesu paAso, tikamukwidza, tikandosvika Mitirene;

¹⁴And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

¹⁵tikabva ipapo nechikepe, fume tikasvika pakatarisana neKiyo; fume tikasvika paSamo; ndokugara paTrogiriamu chifume tikasvika Mireto.

¹⁵And sailing from thence, we came the following day over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after we came to Miletus.

¹⁶Nekuti Pauro wakange akazvipira kupfuura Efeso nechikepe, nekuti wakange asingadi kupedza nguva paAsia; nekuti waimhanya kuti kana zvichibvira ave paJerusarema nezuva rePendekosita.

¹⁶For 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 at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

¹⁷Zvino ari paMireto akatumira Efeso akadana vakuru vekereke.

¹⁷And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him the elders of the church.

¹⁸Zvino vakati vasvika kwaari, akati kwavari: Munoziva kubva pazuva rekutanga randakasvika paAsia, mugariro wandakaita pakati penyu nguva dzose,

¹⁸And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, after what manner I was with you all the time,

¹⁹ndichibatira Ishe nekuzvininipisa kose, nemisodzi mizhinji, nemiedzo yakandiwira nerangano dzakaipa dzevaJudha;

¹⁹serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews;

²⁰kuti handina sei kuvanza zvingakubatsirai asi ndakakuratidzai nekukudzidzisai pachena dzimba nedzimba;

²⁰how I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house,

²¹ndichipupura kwazvo zvose kuvaJudha nekuvaGiriki, kutendeukira kuna Mwari, nerutendo kuna Ishe wedu Jesu Kristu.

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

²²Zvino tarirai, ndinoenda kuJerusarema ndakasungwa mumweya, ndisingazivi zvichandiwira ikoko,

²²And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

²³asi kuti Mweya Mutsvene unondipupurira kwazvo muguta rimwe nerimwe, kuti zvisungo nenhamo zvakandigarira.

²³save that the Holy Spirit testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

²⁴Asi handirangariri chinhu pane izvi, uye handiverengi kuti upenyu hwangu hunokosha kwandiri kuti ndipedze rwendo rwangu nemufaro nebasa randakagamuchira kuna Ishe Jesu rekupupura kwazvo evhangeri yenyasha dzaMwari.

²⁴But I hold not my life of any account as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

²⁵Zvino tarirai, ndinoziva kuti imwi mose vandakafamba pakati penyu ndichiparidza ushe hwaMwari, hamuchazooni chiso changuzve.

²⁵And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more.

²⁶Naizvozvo ndinokupupurirai nhasi kuti ndakachena paropa revanhu vose;

²⁶Wherefore I testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

²⁷nekuti handina kuvanza kukuparidzirai zano rose raMwari.

²⁷For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God.

²⁸Naizvozvo zvichenjererei imwi, neboka rose pamusoro paro Mweya Mutsene pawakakuitai vatariri, kuti mufudze kereke yaMwari, yaakatenga neropa rake.

²⁸Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit hath made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood.

²⁹Nekuti ndinoziva izvi kuti kana ndaenda mapumhi anorura achapinda pakati penyu asingaregi boka.

²⁹I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock;

³⁰Uye pakati penyu pachamuka varume vachataura zvinhu zvinotsausa, kuti vakwezve vadzidzi vavatevere.

³⁰and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

³¹Naizvozvo rindai, murangarire kuti munguva yemakore matatu handina kurega siku nesikati kuyambira umwe neumwe nemisodzi.

³¹Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.

³²Uye ikozvino hama ndinokukumikidzai kuna Ishe, nekushoko renyasha dzake, iro rinogona kukuvakai, nekukupai nhaka pakati pevakaitwa vatsvene vose.

³²And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build [you] up, and to give [you] the inheritance among all them that are sanctified.

³³Handina kuchiva sirivheri kana ndarama kana nguvo yemunhu.

³³I coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

³⁴Imwi mumene munoziva kuti maoko awa akabatira kushaiwa kwangu nekwevanhu vandaiva navo.

³⁴Ye yourselves know that these hands ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

³⁵Pazvinhu zvose ndakakuratidzai, kuti muchibata saizvozvi munofanira kubatsira vasina simba, nekurangarira mashoko aIshe Jesu, kuti iye wakati: Kwakaropafadzwa kupa kupfuura kugamuchira.

³⁵In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye 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.

³⁶Zvino wakati ataura saizvozvi, akafugama, akanyengetera navo vose.

³⁶And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and prayed with them all.

³⁷Vakachema zvikuru vose; vakawira pamutsipa waPauro vakamutsvoda,

³⁷And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,

³⁸vachishungurudzika kwazvo neshoko raakataura, kuti havachazooni chiso chakezve. Ipapo vakamuperekedza kuchikepe.

³⁸sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they should behold his face no more. And they brought him on his way unto the ship.
