Acts 20
1 When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples. And after encouraging them, he said goodbye to them and left for Macedonia.
Kane kokono oserumo, Paulo noluongo jopuonjre ire mojiwogi, to bangʼe nogoyonegi oriti, mi ochako wuodhe mar dhi Makedonia.
2 After traveling through that area and speaking many words of encouragement, he arrived in Greece,
Nowuotho e gwengʼno kojiwo ji gi weche mangʼeny, eka nochopo e piny jo-Yunani,
3 where he stayed three months. And when the Jews formed a plot against him as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia.
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.
4 Paul was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.
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.
5 These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.
Jogi notelo nyimwa mondo oritwa Troa.
6 And after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, we sailed from Philippi, and five days later we rejoined them in Troas, where we stayed seven days.
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.
7 On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight.
To Chiengʼ mokwongo mar juma ne wachokore mondo wacham Sap Ruoth. Paulo nopuonjo ji nyaka odiwuor nikech nochano mar aa kinyne gokinyi.
8 Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.
Teche mangʼeny ne liel e od gorofa malo kuma ne wachokore.
9 And a certain young man named Eutychus, seated in the window, was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell from the third story and was picked up dead.
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.
10 But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”
Paulo nolor piny mi nokwako wuowino. Bangʼe nowacho ni ji niya, “Kik uluor. Ongima!”
11 Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.
Eka nodok malo kuma ne entie mi ongʼwenyo makati mochamo. Bangʼe nodhi nyime gipuonjo nyaka piny oru, eka owuok.
12 And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.
Ji nokawo wuowino motere dala kongima, kendo chunygi noyudo hoch maduongʼ.
13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take Paul aboard. He had arranged this because he was going there on foot.
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.
14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.
Kane oyudowa Asos, nodonjo kodwa e yie, mi wadhi nyaka Mitulene.
15 Sailing on from there, we arrived the next day opposite Chios. The day after that we arrived at Samos, and on the following day we came to Miletus.
Kinyne ne wakwangʼ ka waa kanyo mi watundo machiegni Kios. To chiengʼ machielo ne wangʼado nam nyaka Samos, to bangʼe ne wachopo Mileto.
16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, because he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.
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.
17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.
Kane wan Mileto, Paulo nooro wach Efeso mondo oluongne jodong kanisa.
18 When they came to him, he said, “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.
Kane gisebiro, nowachonegi niya, “Ungʼeyo maber kaka ngimana ne chalo e kinde mane an kodu ka, kochakore odiechiengʼ mokwongo mane adonjo e piny Asia.
19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, especially in the trials that came upon me through the plots of the Jews.
Ne atiyo ni Ruoth gi chuny mamuol, kendo gi pi wangʼ, kata obedo ni naneno masiche madongo ka jo-Yahudi chano mondo ohinya.
20 I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,
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.
21 testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Asenyiso jo-Yahudi kaachiel gi jo-Yunani ni nyaka gilokre giwe richogi kendo gidwog ir Nyasaye kendo giyie kuom Ruodhwa Yesu.
22 And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
“To sani koro Roho ochuna ni nyaka adhi Jerusalem, ka ok angʼeyo gima dhi timorena kuno.
23 I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.
Gima angʼeyo en mana gima Roho Maler nyisa e chunya ni sand kod twech orita e dala ka dala ma adhiye.
24 But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
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.
25 Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.
“Koro angʼeyo ni onge ngʼato kuomu maseyalone wach kuom pinyruoth manochak onena.
26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
Emomiyo awachonu kawuono ni koro remb ngʼato ok ni e wiya,
27 For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole will of God.
nikech ne ok aweyo ma ok anyisou gik moko duto ma Nyasaye dwaro ni utim.
28 Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood.
Koro tangʼuru kendo rituru kweth duto ma Roho Maler oketo e lwetu mondo uriti. Beduru jokwath mag Kanisa Nyasaye ma nongʼiewo gi rembe owuon.
29 I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
Angʼeyo maber ni bangʼ ka asea, ondiegi mangemo biro monjou, kendo ok giniwe kweth Nyasaye ngangʼ.
30 Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.
Kata mana e dieru ka, jomoko biro wuokie kendo gibiro puonjo weche mobam ma gichwogo kendgi giwegi mondo giywago jopuonjre irgi.
31 Therefore be alert and remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
Emomiyo beduru motangʼ! Paruru kaka kuom higni adek ne ok aweyo mak asiemo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu odiechiengʼ gotieno, ka pi wangʼa chwer.
32 And now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.
“Koro aketou e lwet Nyasaye, kendo kuom wach ngʼwonone, manyalo gerou, kendo manyalo miyo uyud gweth mosekan-nu kaachiel gi jomaler duto.
33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.
Pok agombo fedha kata dhahabu kata law ngʼato.
34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions.
Un uwegi ungʼeyo ni lwetenagi osetiyo matek mi ochopo dwarona duto, nyaka dwaro mag jowadwa mwayalogo Injili.
35 In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
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!’”
36 When Paul had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.
Kane Paulo osetieko wacho wechegi, nogoyo chonge piny kaachiel kodgi duto mi nolemo.
37 They all wept openly as they embraced Paul and kissed him.
Ji duto ne oywak, ka gipodho kuome kendo ginyodhe.
38 They were especially grieved by his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
Gima ne litnegi ahinya ne en gima nowacho ni ne ok gibi nene kendo. Bangʼ mano ne gikowe ei yie.
