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

¹After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

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

²When he had gone through those parts, and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.

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

³When 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.

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

⁴These 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.

⁵Ivo vakatungamira vakatimirira paTroasi.

⁵But these had gone ahead, 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.

⁶We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

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

⁷On 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.

⁸Kwakange kune mwenje mizhinji muimba yekumusoro mavakange vakaungana.

⁸There were many lights in the upper room where we TR reads “they” instead of “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.

⁹A 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.

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

¹⁰Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”

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

¹¹When 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.

¹²Vakauya nemukomana ari mupenyu, vakanyaradzwa zvisati zviri zvishoma.

¹²They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.

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

¹³But 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.

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

¹⁴When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard, and came to Mitylene.

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

¹⁵Sailing 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.

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 in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

¹⁷Zvino ari paMireto akatumira Efeso akadana vakuru vekereke.

¹⁷From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to himself the elders of the assembly.

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

¹⁸When 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,

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

¹⁹serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

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

²⁰how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, 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. TR adds “Christ”

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

²²Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

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

²³except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for 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 these things don’t 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.

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

²⁵“Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching the Kingdom of God, will see my face no more.

²⁶Naizvozvo ndinokupupurirai nhasi kuti ndakachena paropa revanhu vose;

²⁶Therefore I testify to you this day that I am clean from the blood of all men,

²⁷nekuti handina kuvanza kukuparidzirai zano rose raMwari.

²⁷for I didn’t shrink from declaring to 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, 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 TR, NU omit “the Lord and” God which he purchased with his own blood.

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

²⁹For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

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

³⁰Men will arise from among your own selves, 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.

³¹Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

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

³²Now, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” 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.

³³Handina kuchiva sirivheri kana ndarama kana nguvo yemunhu.

³³I coveted no one’s silver, or gold, or clothing.

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

³⁴You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and 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.

³⁵In 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.’ ”

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

³⁶When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

³⁷Vakachema zvikuru vose; vakawira pamutsipa waPauro vakamutsvoda,

³⁷They all wept a lot, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

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

³⁸sorrowing 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.
