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.
Ary rehefa nitsahatra ny tabataba, dia nampaka ny mpianatra Paoly ka nananatra azy sy nanao veloma azy, dia lasa nankany Makedonia izy.
2 After traveling through that area and speaking many words of encouragement, he arrived in Greece,
Ary rehefa nitety izany tany izany sy nananatra ny olona tamin’ ny teny maro izy, dia tonga tany Grisia.
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.
Ary nony efa nitoetra telo volana teo izy ka efa hiondrana an-tsambo hankany Syria, ary nisy Jiosy nanotrika azy, dia niova hevitra izy ka lasa niverina namaky an’ i 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.
Ary niaraka taminy hatrany Asia Sopatera, zanak’ i Pyro, avy any Beria, ary Aristarko sy Sekondo avy any Tesalonika, ary Gaio avy any Derbe, ary Timoty, ary Tykiko sy Trofimo avy any Asia.
5 These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.
Ireo dia efa nialoha ka niandry anay tany Troasy.
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.
Dia niondrana an-tsambo niala tany Filipy izahay, rehefa tapitra ny andro fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia nankany aminy tany Troasy izahay nony afaka hadimiana; ary tany no nitoeranay hafitoana.
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.
Ary tamin’ ny andro voalohany amin’ ny herinandro, rehefa niangona hamaky mofo izahay, Paoly dia nitori-teny taminy, fa nikasa handeha maraina izy; dia naharitra nitori-teny mandra-paha-mamatonalina izy.
8 Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.
Ary nisy jiro maro teo an-trano ambony izay niangonanay.
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.
Ary nisy zatovo anankiray atao hoe Eotyka nipetraka teo am-baravarankely ka sondrian-tory; ary raha naharitra ela ny toritenin’ i Paoly, dia niraika noho ny torimaso ilay zatovo ka nianjera tamin’ ny tany avy eny amin’ ny rihana intelo mifanongoa, ary nony narenina izy, dia indro fa efa maty.
10 But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”
Ary Paoly nidina, dia niankohoka taminy sy nanohona azy ka nanao hoe: Aza mihorikorika ianareo, fa mbola misy aina ihany izy.
11 Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.
Ary niakatra Paoly, dia namaky ny mofo, ary rehefa nihinana sy niresaka ela ambara-pahamarain’ ny andro izy, dia lasa nandeha.
12 And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.
Ary nitondra ilay zatovo efa velona izy ireo ka faly dia faly.
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.
Ary izahay nialoha ho any an-tsambo, dia niondrana nankany Aso, fa eo no handraisana an’ i Paoly, satria eo no fotoana nataony, fa nikasa handeha an-tanety izy.
14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.
Ary rehefa nihaona taminay tany Aso izy, dia noraisinay, ary dia lasa nankany Mitylena izahay.
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.
Ary rehefa niondrana an-tsambo niala teo izahay, dia tonga tandrifin’ i Kio nony ampitso; ary nony ampitso indray dia niantsona tao Samo; ka tonga tany Mileto izahay nony ampitson’ iny.
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.
Fa Paoly efa nikasa handeha an-tsambo handalo any Efesosy mba tsy hitoerany ela any Asia; fa maika izy, raha azony hatao, hamonjy ny andro Pentekosta any Jerosalema.
17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.
Ary raha tany Mileto Paoly, dia naniraka hankany Efesosy izy ka nampaka ny loholon’ ny fiangonana hankeo aminy.
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.
Ary nony tonga teo aminy ireo, dia hoy izy taminy: Fantatrareo hatramin’ ny andro voalohany nahatongavako teto Asia izay toetry ny fitondran-tenako taminareo tamin’ izany andro rehetra izany,
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.
dia ny nanompoako ny Tompo tamin’ ny fanetren-tena rehetra sy ny ranomaso ary ny fakam-panahy izay nanjo ahy tamin’ ny fanotrehan’ ny Jiosy,
20 I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,
ka tsy mba nafeniko izay mahasoa, fa nambarako sy nampianariko anareo teo imason’ ny olona ary tao amin’ ny isan-trano;
21 testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
ary nambarako tamin’ ny Jiosy sy ny jentilisa koa ny fibebahana amin’ Andriamanitra sy ny finoana an’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.
22 And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
Ary ankehitriny, indro, terỳ am-panahy hankany Jerosalema aho, nefa tsy fantatro izay hanjo ahy any,
23 I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.
afa-tsy izay ambaran’ ny Fanahy Masìna amiko amin’ ny isan-tanàna, fa hisy famatorana sy fahoriana hanjo ahy.
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.
Nefa tsy ataoko ho zavatra akory ny aiko, mba hahavita ny alehako, dia ny fanompoana izay noraisiko tamin’ i Jesosy Tompo hanambara ny filazantsaran’ ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra.
25 Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.
Ary, indro, ankehitriny fantatro fa tsy hahita ny tavako intsony ianareo rehetra izay nalehako nitoriako ny fanjakana.
26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
Koa manambara aminareo aho anio fa afaka amin’ ny ranareo rehetra aho.
27 For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole will of God.
Fa tsy nafeniko anareo, fa notoriko taminareo avokoa ny saina rehetra natolotr’ Andriamanitra.
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.
Tandremo ny tenanareo sy ny ondry rehetra izay nanaovan’ ny Fanahy Masìna anareo ho mpitandrina’, hiandrasanareo ny fiangonan Andriamanitra, izay novidiny tamin’ ny ràny.
29 I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
Fantatro fa rehefa lasa aho dia hisy amboadia masiaka hiditra eo aminareo izay tsy hiantra ny ondry.
30 Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.
Ary avy aminareo no hiposahan’ ny olona sasany mitory teny tsy marina hitaona ny mpianatra hanaraka azy.
31 Therefore be alert and remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
Koa miambena, ary tsarovy fa telo taona mipaka aho tsy nitsahatra nananatra anareo rehetra andro aman’ alina tamin’ ny ranomaso.
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.
Ary ankehitriny izaho manolotra anareo ho amin’ Andriamanitra sy ho amin’ ny tenin’ ny fahasoavany, izay mahay mampandroso sy manome lova anareo eo amin’ izay rehetra nohamasinina.
33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.
Tsy mba naniry volafotsy na volamena na lamban’ olona aho.
34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions.
Fa fantatrareo ihany fa ireto tanako ireto no niasa mba hahazoako sy ny niaraka tamiko izay nilainay.
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.’”
Efa nasehoko anareo tamin’ ny zavatra rehetra fa tokony hiasa toy izany koa ianareo, mba hiantra ny mahantra ka hahatsiaro ny tenin’ i Jesosy Tompo, izay manao hoe: Mahasambatra kokoa ny manome noho ny mandray.
36 When Paul had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.
Ary rehefa niteny izany izy, dia nandohalika teo ka niara-nivavaka tamin’ izy rehetra.
37 They all wept openly as they embraced Paul and kissed him.
Ary nitomany mafy izy rehetra, dia namihina ny vozon’ i Paoly ka nanoroka azy,
38 They were especially grieved by his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
sady nalahelo loatra noho ny nilazany fa tsy hahita ny tavany intsony izy. Dia nanatitra azy teny an-tsambo izy.
