    Acts 20
    • 1   Ile ghasia ya Efeso ilipokwisha tulia Paulo aliwaita pamoja wale waumini, akawatia moyo. Kisha akawaaga, akasafiri kwenda Makedonia.
    • 2   Alipitia sehemu za nchi zile akiwatia watu moyo kwa maneno mengi. Halafu akafika Ugiriki.
    • 3   ambako alikaa kwa miezi mitatu. Alipokuwa anajitayarisha kwenda Siria, aligundua kwamba Wayahudi walikuwa wanamfanyia mpango mbaya; hivyo aliamua kurudi kwa kupitia Makedonia.
    • 4   Sopatro, mwana wa Pirho kutoka Berea, aliandamana naye; pia Aristarko na Sekundo kutoka Thesalonika, Gayo kutoka Derbe, Timotheo, Tukiko na Trofimo wa mkoa wa Asia.
    • 5   Hao walitutangulia na kutungojea kule Troa.
    • 6   Sisi, 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.
    • 7   Jumamosi jioni, tulikutana ili kumega mkate. Kwa vile Paulo alikuwa amekusudia kuondoka kesho yake, aliwahutubia watu na kuendelea kuongea nao hadi usiku wa manane.
    • 8   Katika chumba tulimokuwa, ghorofani, kulikuwa na taa nyingi zinawaka.
    • 9   Kijana 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.
    • 10   Lakini Paulo alishuka chini, akainama, akamkumbatia na kusema, "Msiwe na wasiwasi maana kuna uhai bado ndani yake."
    • 11   Kisha akapanda tena ghorofani, akamega mkate, akala. Aliendelea kuhubiri kwa muda mrefu hadi alfajiri, halafu akaondoka.
    • 12   Wale watu walimchukua yule kijana nyumbani akiwa mzima kabisa, wakapata kitulizo kikubwa.
    • 13   Sisi tulipanda meli tukatangulia kwenda Aso ambako tungemchukua Paulo. Ndivyo alivyopanga; maana alitaka kufika huko kwa kupitia nchi kavu.
    • 14   Basi, alitukuta kule Aso, tukampandisha melini, tukaenda Mitulene.
    • 15   Kutoka huko tulisafiri tukafika Kio kesho yake. Siku ya pili, tulitia nanga Samo na kesho yake tukafika Mileto.
    • 16   Paulo 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.
    • 17   Kutoka Mileto Paulo alituma ujumbe kwa wazee wa Efeso wakutane naye.
    • 18   Walipofika kwake aliwaambia, "Mnajua jinsi nilivyotumia wakati wote pamoja nanyi tangu siku ile ya kwanza nilipofika Asia.
    • 19   Mnajua jinsi nilivyomtumikia Bwana kwa unyenyekevu wote, kwa machozi na matatizo yaliyonipata kutokana na mipango ya hila ya Wayahudi.
    • 20   Mnajua kwamba sikusita hata kidogo kuwahubiria hadharani na nyumbani mwenu na kuwafundisha chochote ambacho kingewasaidieni.
    • 21   Niliwaonya wote--Wayahudi kadhalika na watu wa mataifa, wamgeukie Mungu na kumwamini Bwana wetu Yesu.
    • 22   Sasa, sikilizeni! Mimi, nikiwa ninamtii Roho, nakwenda Yerusalemu bila kufahamu yatakayonipata huko.
    • 23   Ninachojua tu ni kwamba Roho Mtakatifu ananithibitishia katika kila mji kwamba vifungo na mateso ndivyo vinavyoningojea.
    • 24   Lakini, 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.
    • 25   "Nimekuwa nikienda huko na huko kati yenu nikiuhubiri Ufalme wa Mungu. Sasa lakini, najua hakuna hata mmoja wenu atakayeniona tena.
    • 26   Hivyo, leo hii ninawathibitishieni rasmi kwamba ikijatokea akapotea mmoja wenu, mimi sina lawama yoyote.
    • 27   Kwa maana sikusita hata kidogo kuwatangazieni azimio lote la Mungu.
    • 28   Jihadharini wenyewe; lilindeni lile kundi ambalo Roho Mtakatifu amewaweka ninyi muwe walezi wake. Lichungeni kanisa la Mungu ambalo amejipatia kwa damu ya Mwanae.
    • 29   Nafahamu vizuri sana kwamba baada ya kuondoka kwangu mbwa mwitu wakali watawavamieni, na hawatakuwa na huruma kwa kundi hilo.
    • 30   Hata kutoka miongoni mwenu watatokea watu ambao watasema mambo ya uongo ili kuwapotosha watu na kuwafanya wawafuate wao tu.
    • 31   Kwa hiyo, muwe macho mkikumbuka kwamba kwa muda wa miaka mitatu, usiku na mchana, sikuchoka kumwonya kila mmoja wenu kwa machozi.
    • 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.
    • 33   Mimi sikutamani hata mara moja fedha, wala dhahabu, wala nguo za mtu yeyote.
    • 34   Mnajua ninyi wenyewe kwamba nimefanya kazi kwa mikono yangu mwenyewe, ili kujipatia mahitaji yangu na ya wenzangu.
    • 35   Nimekuwa nikiwapeni daima mfano kwamba kwa kufanya kazi mithili hiyo tunapaswa kuwasaidia walio dhaifu, tukikumbuka maneno ya Bwana Yesu mwenyewe: Heri zaidi kutoa kuliko kupokea."
    • 36   Baada ya kusema hayo, Paulo alipiga magoti pamoja nao wote, akasali.
    • 37   Wote walikuwa wanalia; wakamwaga kwa kumkumbatia na kumbusu.
    • 38   Jambo lililowahuzunisha zaidi lilikuwa neno alilosema kwamba hawangemwona tena. Basi, wakamsindikiza hadi melini.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
