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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

⁵Ivo vakatungamira vakatimirira paTroasi.

⁵These going before waited for us in Troas;

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

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.

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

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.

⁸Kwakange kune mwenje mizhinji muimba yekumusoro mavakange vakaungana.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

¹²Vakauya nemukomana ari mupenyu, vakanyaradzwa zvisati zviri zvishoma.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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:

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

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.

¹⁷Zvino ari paMireto akatumira Efeso akadana vakuru vekereke.

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

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 to them, *Ye* know how I was with you all the time from the first day that I arrived in Asia,

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 have gone about preaching the kingdom [of God], shall see my face no more.

²⁶Naizvozvo ndinokupupurirai nhasi kuti ndakachena paropa revanhu vose;

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

²⁷nekuti handina kuvanza kukuparidzirai zano rose raMwari.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

³⁰and from among your own selves shall rise up men speaking perverted 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, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not admonishing each one [of you] with tears.

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

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.

³³Handina kuchiva sirivheri kana ndarama kana nguvo yemunhu.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

³⁷Vakachema zvikuru vose; vakawira pamutsipa waPauro vakamutsvoda,

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

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

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.
