Tich Joote 20

1 Kane kokono oserumo, Paulo noluongo jopuonjre ire mojiwogi, to bangʼe nogoyonegi oriti, mi ochako wuodhe mar dhi Makedonia.

THEN after the tumult was quieted, Paul called to him the disciples, and taking his leave, departed to go into Macedonia.

2 Nowuotho e gwengʼno kojiwo ji gi weche mangʼeny, eka nochopo e piny jo-Yunani,

And passing through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he went into Greece.

3 kuma nobetie kuom dweche adek. To nikech jo-Yahudi ne chano timo ne marach kane oyudo oikore mar dhi Siria, noloko pache mondo odog chien, koluwo Makedonia.

And after three months stay, as the Jews were lying in wait for him, when he was just embarking for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

4 Joma nodhi kode ne gin ji kaka Sopata wuod Puro ja-Berea, gi Aristarko kod Sekundo, ma ja-Thesalonika, gi Gayo ja-Derbe, kod Timotheo bende, gi Tukiko kod Trofimo mane gin jo-Asia.

And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus, Asiatics.

5 Jogi notelo nyimwa mondo oritwa Troa.

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

6 Wan to ne wakwangʼ ka waa Filipi, bangʼ Sap Makati ma ok oketie Thowi, to bangʼ ndalo abich ne wachopo irgi Troa, kuma ne wabetie kuom ndalo abiriyo.

And we sailed from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas after five days; where we stayed seven days.

7 To Chiengʼ mokwongo mar juma ne wachokore mondo wacham Sap Ruoth. Paulo nopuonjo ji nyaka odiwuor nikech nochano mar aa kinyne gokinyi.

And on the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled to break bread, Paul preached unto them (ready to depart on the morrow), and extended his discourse until midnight.

8 Teche mangʼeny ne liel e od gorofa malo kuma ne wachokore.

Now there were many lamps in the upper room, where they were assembled.

9 To wuowi moro miluongo ni Yutiko nobet e dho dirisa, kendo nindo nomedo tere ka Paulo ne pod medo puonjo. Kane en e chuny nindo, nolwar gie dirisa koa e gorofa mar adek mi nokwanye piny mwalo kosetho.

And a certain youth named Eutytchus, who sat in the window, fell into a profound sleep: as Paul discoursed much longer than usual, quite overpowered with sleep, he fell down from a third story, and was taken up dead.

10 Paulo nolor piny mi nokwako wuowino. Bangʼe nowacho ni ji niya, “Kik uluor. Ongima!”

But Paul came down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Trouble not yourselves, for his life is yet in him.

11 Eka nodok malo kuma ne entie mi ongʼwenyo makati mochamo. Bangʼe nodhi nyime gipuonjo nyaka piny oru, eka owuok.

And when he had gone up, and broken bread, and eaten, and conversed a long time, even to the break of day, he then departed.

12 Ji nokawo wuowino motere dala kongima, kendo chunygi noyudo hoch maduongʼ.

And they brought the lad alive, and were comforted exceedingly.

13 Wan to ne watelo nyime nyaka ei yie, mi wakwangʼ nyaka Asos, kuma ne wadhi kawoe Paulo. Nosechano kamano nikech ne odwaro ni mondo odhi kuno kowuotho gi tiende.

Then we going before to the ship, sailed for Assos, intending there to take in Paul: for so he had ordered, meaning himself to walk thither.

14 Kane oyudowa Asos, nodonjo kodwa e yie, mi wadhi nyaka Mitulene.

And when he met us at Assos, we took him up, and came to Mytelene.

15 Kinyne ne wakwangʼ ka waa kanyo mi watundo machiegni Kios. To chiengʼ machielo ne wangʼado nam nyaka Samos, to bangʼe ne wachopo Mileto.

And sailing from thence, on the following day we advanced over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos, and staying at Trogyllium, the day following we came to Miletus.

16 Paulo nosechano mondo okwangʼ kodhi ma ok oluwo Efeso, nikech ne ok odwar kawo thuolo malach e piny Asia. Nodwaro mondo ochop Jerusalem piyo, kapok chiengʼ Pentekost ochopo.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened on, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17 Kane wan Mileto, Paulo nooro wach Efeso mondo oluongne jodong kanisa.

So he sent to Ephesus from Miletus, and called the presbyters of the church to attend him.

18 Kane gisebiro, nowachonegi niya, “Ungʼeyo maber kaka ngimana ne chalo e kinde mane an kodu ka, kochakore odiechiengʼ mokwongo mane adonjo e piny Asia.

And when they were come unto him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the very first day in which I entered into Asia, how I have been among you at every season,

19 Ne atiyo ni Ruoth gi chuny mamuol, kendo gi pi wangʼ, kata obedo ni naneno masiche madongo ka jo-Yahudi chano mondo ohinya.

serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, which have befallen me through the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 Bende ungʼeyo kaka ne ok aweyo mak anyisou wach moro amora mane nyalo konyou, to napuonjou e lela kendo e uteu, ka adonjo e ot ka ot.

and that I have suppressed nothing which could conduce to your profiting; not desisting from preaching to you, and teaching you in public, and from house to house,

21 Asenyiso jo-Yahudi kaachiel gi jo-Yunani ni nyaka gilokre giwe richogi kendo gidwog ir Nyasaye kendo giyie kuom Ruodhwa Yesu.

repeatedly urging both on Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 “To sani koro Roho ochuna ni nyaka adhi Jerusalem, ka ok angʼeyo gima dhi timorena kuno.

And now behold I am going, bound by the Spirit, unto Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall there befal me:

23 Gima angʼeyo en mana gima Roho Maler nyisa e chunya ni sand kod twech orita e dala ka dala ma adhiye.

only this, that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and tribulation await thee.

24 To kata obedo kamano, ok akwan ngimana ka gima lichna; gima ochuna maduongʼ en mana tieko ngʼweya kendo chopo tich ma Ruoth Yesu osemiya mondo atim, ma en tich mar lando Injili mar ngʼwono mar Nyasaye.

Yet I make no account of any suffering, nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully the Gospel of the grace of God.

25 “Koro angʼeyo ni onge ngʼato kuomu maseyalone wach kuom pinyruoth manochak onena.

And now behold, I know that ye shall see my face no more, even ye all, among whom I have gone in and out preaching the kingdom of God.

26 Emomiyo awachonu kawuono ni koro remb ngʼato ok ni e wiya,

Wherefore I appeal to you this day as witnesses that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 nikech ne ok aweyo ma ok anyisou gik moko duto ma Nyasaye dwaro ni utim.

For I have concealed nothing, so as not repeatedly to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

28 Koro tangʼuru kendo rituru kweth duto ma Roho Maler oketo e lwetu mondo uriti. Beduru jokwath mag Kanisa Nyasaye ma nongʼiewo gi rembe owuon.

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed as shepherds the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.

29 Angʼeyo maber ni bangʼ ka asea, ondiegi mangemo biro monjou, kendo ok giniwe kweth Nyasaye ngangʼ.

For this I know, that after my departure there will come among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock:

30 Kata mana e dieru ka, jomoko biro wuokie kendo gibiro puonjo weche mobam ma gichwogo kendgi giwegi mondo giywago jopuonjre irgi.

Yea, from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverting doctrines, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Emomiyo beduru motangʼ! Paruru kaka kuom higni adek ne ok aweyo mak asiemo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu odiechiengʼ gotieno, ka pi wangʼa chwer.

Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, by night and by day, I have never ceased with tears to admonish every individual.

32 “Koro aketou e lwet Nyasaye, kendo kuom wach ngʼwonone, manyalo gerou, kendo manyalo miyo uyud gweth mosekan-nu kaachiel gi jomaler duto.

And now, brethren, I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to finish the superstructure, and to give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

33 Pok agombo fedha kata dhahabu kata law ngʼato.

The silver, or gold, or apparel of no man have I coveted:

34 Un uwegi ungʼeyo ni lwetenagi osetiyo matek mi ochopo dwarona duto, nyaka dwaro mag jowadwa mwayalogo Injili.

but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for those who were with me.

35 Asenyisou gi yore duto ni nyaka wati matek wan wawegi mondo wakonygo joma chandore, ka waparo wach mane Ruoth Yesu owachonwa ni, ‘Chiwo kelo gweth moloyo kawo!’”

In all things I have set you the example, that so labouring hard ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

36 Kane Paulo osetieko wacho wechegi, nogoyo chonge piny kaachiel kodgi duto mi nolemo.

And when he had spoken these things, he fell on his knees, and prayed with them all.

37 Ji duto ne oywak, ka gipodho kuome kendo ginyodhe.

And all of them shed floods of tears, and fell upon Paul’s neck, and kissed him again and again,

38 Gima ne litnegi ahinya ne en gima nowacho ni ne ok gibi nene kendo. Bangʼ mano ne gikowe ei yie.

most peculiarly afflicted at that word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more: and they accompanied him unto the ship.
