Acts 20
1 Now after the uproar had ended, Paul summoned the disciples, took leave of them, and set out for Macedonia.
itthaṁ kalahe nivṛtte sati paulaḥ śiṣyagaṇam āhūya visarjanaṁ prāpya mākidaniyādeśaṁ prasthitavān|
2 When he had gone through those parts and encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
tena sthānena gacchan taddeśīyān śiṣyān bahūpadiśya yūnānīyadeśam upasthitavān|
3 When he had stayed three months, as he was about to set sail for Syria, the Jews made a plot against him, so he decided to return through Macedonia.
tatra māsatrayaṁ sthitvā tasmāt suriyādeśaṁ yātum udyataḥ, kintu yihūdīyāstaṁ hantuṁ guptā atiṣṭhan tasmāt sa punarapi mākidaniyāmārgeṇa pratyāgantuṁ matiṁ kṛtavān|
4 Now Sopater of Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia were going to accompany him as far as Asia;
birayānagarīyasopātraḥ thiṣalanīkīyāristārkhasikundau darbbonagarīyagāyatīmathiyau āśiyādeśīyatukhikatraphimau ca tena sārddhaṁ āśiyādeśaṁ yāvad gatavantaḥ|
5 so having gone on ahead, these men were waiting for us in Troas.
ete sarvve 'grasarāḥ santo 'smān apekṣya troyānagare sthitavantaḥ|
6 But it was after the Days of Unleavened Bread that we sailed from Philippi, and in five days we joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
kiṇvaśūnyapūpotsavadine ca gate sati vayaṁ philipīnagarāt toyapathena gatvā pañcabhi rdinaistroyānagaram upasthāya tatra saptadinānyavātiṣṭhāma|
7 Now on the first day of the week, the disciples being assembled to break bread, Paul started addressing them, and because he intended to leave the next day he continued his message until midnight.
saptāhasya prathamadine pūpān bhaṁktu śiṣyeṣu militeṣu paulaḥ paradine tasmāt prasthātum udyataḥ san tadahni prāyeṇa kṣapāyā yāmadvayaṁ yāvat śiṣyebhyo dharmmakathām akathayat|
8 There were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled.
uparisthe yasmin prakoṣṭhe sabhāṁ kṛtvāsan tatra bahavaḥ pradīpāḥ prājvalan|
9 Well a certain young man named Eutychus sat in a window and was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul kept on talking; when he was overcome by the sleep he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
utukhanāmā kaścana yuvā ca vātāyana upaviśan ghorataranidrāgrasto 'bhūt tadā paulena bahukṣaṇaṁ kathāyāṁ pracāritāyāṁ nidrāmagnaḥ sa tasmād uparisthatṛtīyaprakoṣṭhād apatat, tato lokāstaṁ mṛtakalpaṁ dhṛtvodatolayan|
10 So Paul went down, threw himself on him and embracing him said, “Do not be distressed, because his life is in him!”
tataḥ paulo'varuhya tasya gātre patitvā taṁ kroḍe nidhāya kathitavān, yūyaṁ vyākulā mā bhūta nāyaṁ prāṇai rviyuktaḥ|
11 Then he went back up and broke bread, ate, and kept on speaking until daybreak—that is how he left!
paścāt sa punaścopari gatvā pūpān bhaṁktvā prabhātaṁ yāvat kathopakathane kṛtvā prasthitavān|
12 (On their part, they led the boy away alive, and were greatly comforted.)
te ca taṁ jīvantaṁ yuvānaṁ gṛhītvā gatvā paramāpyāyitā jātāḥ|
13 As for us, we went to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there—so it had been arranged, he himself intending to go on foot.
anantaraṁ vayaṁ potenāgrasarā bhūtvāsmanagaram uttīryya paulaṁ grahītuṁ matim akurmma yataḥ sa tatra padbhyāṁ vrajituṁ matiṁ kṛtveti nirūpitavān|
14 When he met us at Assos we took him aboard and went on to Mityline.
tasmāt tatrāsmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ tasmin milite sati vayaṁ taṁ nītvā mitulīnyupadvīpaṁ prāptavantaḥ|
15 Sailing from there, the next day we arrived opposite Chios, and the day after we crossed over to Samos and stopped in Trogylium; the following day we came to Miletus.
tasmāt potaṁ mocayitvā pare'hani khīyopadvīpasya sammukhaṁ labdhavantastasmād ekenāhnā sāmopadvīpaṁ gatvā potaṁ lāgayitvā trogulliye sthitvā parasmin divase milītanagaram upātiṣṭhāma|
16 (Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, to avoid being detained in Asia, because he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost, if he possibly could.)
yataḥ paula āśiyādeśe kālaṁ yāpayitum nābhilaṣan iphiṣanagaraṁ tyaktvā yātuṁ mantraṇāṁ sthirīkṛtavān; yasmād yadi sādhyaṁ bhavati tarhi nistārotsavasya pañcāśattamadine sa yirūśālamyupasthātuṁ matiṁ kṛtavān|
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and summoned the elders of the congregation.
paulo milītād iphiṣaṁ prati lokaṁ prahitya samājasya prācīnān āhūyānītavān|
18 So when they had come to him he said to them: “You yourselves know, from the first day that I arrived in Asia, how I lived the whole time I was with you,
teṣu tasya samīpam upasthiteṣu sa tebhya imāṁ kathāṁ kathitavān, aham āśiyādeśe prathamāgamanam ārabhyādya yāvad yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau sthitvā sarvvasamaye yathācaritavān tad yūyaṁ jānītha;
19 serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, the ones that happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
phalataḥ sarvvathā namramanāḥ san bahuśrupātena yihudīyānām kumantraṇājātanānāparīkṣābhiḥ prabhoḥ sevāmakaravaṁ|
20 how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
kāmapi hitakathāṁ na gopāyitavān tāṁ pracāryya saprakāśaṁ gṛhe gṛhe samupadiśyeśvaraṁ prati manaḥ parāvarttanīyaṁ prabhau yīśukhrīṣṭe viśvasanīyaṁ
21 solemnly proclaiming to both Jews and Greeks the repentance toward God and the faith into our Lord Jesus.
yihūdīyānām anyadeśīyalokānāñca samīpa etādṛśaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāmi|
22 Now then, I am going to Jerusalem bound in my spirit, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,
paśyata sāmpratam ātmanākṛṣṭaḥ san yirūśālamnagare yātrāṁ karomi, tatra māmprati yadyad ghaṭiṣyate tānyahaṁ na jānāmi;
23 except that the Holy Spirit keeps warning me in every city, saying that fetters and afflictions are just waiting for me.
kintu mayā bandhanaṁ kleśaśca bhoktavya iti pavitra ātmā nagare nagare pramāṇaṁ dadāti|
24 However none of this moves me, nor do I regard my life as valuable to myself, just so that I may complete my course with joy, even the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly proclaim the Good News of the grace of God.
tathāpi taṁ kleśamahaṁ tṛṇāya na manye; īśvarasyānugrahaviṣayakasya susaṁvādasya pramāṇaṁ dātuṁ, prabho ryīśoḥ sakāśāda yasyāḥ sevāyāḥ bhāraṁ prāpnavaṁ tāṁ sevāṁ sādhayituṁ sānandaṁ svamārgaṁ samāpayituñca nijaprāṇānapi priyān na manye|
25 “Furthermore, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the Kingdom of God will ever see my face again.
adhunā paśyata yeṣāṁ samīpe'ham īśvarīyarājyasya susaṁvādaṁ pracāryya bhramaṇaṁ kṛtavān etādṛśā yūyaṁ mama vadanaṁ puna rdraṣṭuṁ na prāpsyatha etadapyahaṁ jānāmi|
26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all;
yuṣmabhyam aham īśvarasya sarvvān ādeśān prakāśayituṁ na nyavartte|
27 because I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
ahaṁ sarvveṣāṁ lokānāṁ raktapātadoṣād yannirdoṣa āse tasyādya yuṣmān sākṣiṇaḥ karomi|
28 So take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as overseers, to shepherd the congregation of the Lord and God which He purchased with His own blood.
yūyaṁ sveṣu tathā yasya vrajasyādhyakṣan ātmā yuṣmān vidhāya nyayuṅkta tatsarvvasmin sāvadhānā bhavata, ya samājañca prabhu rnijaraktamūlyena krītavāna tam avata,
29 Because I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
yato mayā gamane kṛtaeva durjayā vṛkā yuṣmākaṁ madhyaṁ praviśya vrajaṁ prati nirdayatām ācariṣyanti,
30 Yes, men will rise up from among you yourselves, speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after them.
yuṣmākameva madhyādapi lokā utthāya śiṣyagaṇam apahantuṁ viparītam upadekṣyantītyahaṁ jānāmi|
31 Therefore be alert, remembering that during three years, night and day, I never stopped admonishing each one, with tears.
iti heto ryūyaṁ sacaitanyāḥ santastiṣṭata, ahañca sāśrupātaḥ san vatsaratrayaṁ yāvad divāniśaṁ pratijanaṁ bodhayituṁ na nyavartte tadapi smarata|
32 “And so now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.
idānīṁ he bhrātaro yuṣmākaṁ niṣṭhāṁ janayituṁ pavitrīkṛtalokānāṁ madhye'dhikārañca dātuṁ samartho ya īśvarastasyānugrahasya yo vādaśca tayorubhayo ryuṣmān samārpayam|
33 I have not coveted anyone's silver or gold or clothing.
kasyāpi svarṇaṁ rūpyaṁ vastraṁ vā prati mayā lobho na kṛtaḥ|
34 You yourselves know that these hands have supplied my own needs, and of those who were with me.
kintu mama matsahacaralokānāñcāvaśyakavyayāya madīyamidaṁ karadvayam aśrāmyad etad yūyaṁ jānītha|
35 In every way I showed you that working hard like this it is necessary to help the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
anena prakāreṇa grahaṇad dānaṁ bhadramiti yadvākyaṁ prabhu ryīśuḥ kathitavān tat smarttuṁ daridralokānāmupakārārthaṁ śramaṁ karttuñca yuṣmākam ucitam etatsarvvaṁ yuṣmānaham upadiṣṭavān|
36 When he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
etāṁ kathāṁ kathayitvā sa jānunī pātayitvā sarvaiḥ saha prārthayata|
37 Then they all wept freely, and falling on Paul's neck kept kissing him,
tena te krandrantaḥ
38 sorrowing most of all because of the word that he had spoken, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
puna rmama mukhaṁ na drakṣyatha viśeṣata eṣā yā kathā tenākathi tatkāraṇāt śokaṁ vilāpañca kṛtvā kaṇṭhaṁ dhṛtvā cumbitavantaḥ| paścāt te taṁ potaṁ nītavantaḥ|
