Acts 20
1 Once the uproar had died down, Paul called the believers together and encouraged them. Then he said goodbye, and left for Macedonia.
Mgbe ọgbaaghara ndị a kwụsịrị, Pọl kpọkwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ahụ, gbaa ha ume, gwa ha ka ha nọdụ nke ọma, ọ pụrụ gawa Masidonia.
2 He passed through the area, sharing many words of encouragement with the believers there, and then traveled on to Greece.
Mgbe ọ gagharịchara nʼakụkụ ala ahụ niile, werekwa okwu nkasiobi gbaa ndị ụmụnna ume, ọ bịaruru ala Griis.
3 After he had spent three months there and just as he was about to sail to Syria, it was discovered that the Jews were plotting against him. So he decided to return through Macedonia.
Ọ nọrọ ọnwa atọ nʼebe ahụ. Mgbe ọ chọpụtara na ndị Juu agbaala ajọ izu megide ya dịka ọ na-ejikere iso ụgbọ mmiri gaa Siria, o kpebiri ka ya si ụzọ Masidonia laghachi.
4 These were the people who traveled with him: Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus; Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica; Gaius from Derbe; Timothy; Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.
Sopata onye Boria bụ ọkpara Pirọs, na Arịstakọs, na Sekundus ndị si na Tesalonaịka, na Gaiọs onye Debi na Timoti, na Taịkikọs na Trofimọs, ndị Eshịa sokwa ya na-aga ije a.
5 They went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.
Ndị a bu ụzọ gawa, na-eche anyị na Troas.
6 After the Feast of Unleavened Bread we sailed from Philippi, and met them five days later in Troas, where we spent a week.
Mgbe Mmemme Ngabiga ahụ gwụsịrị, anyị banyere ụgbọ mmiri rute Filipai bịakwute ha na Troas nʼụbọchị nke ise. Anyị nọrọ nʼebe ahụ ụbọchị asaa.
7 Paul was speaking on the first day of the week as we gathered together to break bread. He was planning to leave in the morning, and went on speaking until midnight.
Nʼụbọchị mbụ nʼizu ụka, mgbe anyị zukọrọ ịnyawa achịcha, Pọl gwara ha okwu, ebe ọ na-akwado ịla ma chi bọọ, o kwugidere okwu ruo nʼetiti abalị.
8 (The upstairs room where we were meeting was lit by many lamps.)
Ọtụtụ oriọna dịkwa nʼime ọnụụlọ ahụ dị nʼụlọ elu ebe anyị zukọrọ.
9 A young man called Eutychus was sitting in the window, and he began feeling very sleepy. As Paul went on speaking he fell sound asleep and tumbled down from the third story. When they picked him up they found he was dead.
Otu nwokorobịa a na-akpọ Yutikọs nọdụrụ ala nʼoghereikuku, ọ bụ onye oke ụra bidoro ịtụ dịka Pọl na-ekwu okwu ruo oge dị anya. Mgbe ọ dara nʼoke ụra a, o sitere na nʼụlọ elu nke atọ dapụ, daa nʼala. Mgbe e buliri ya, ọ bụ onye nwụrụ anwụ.
10 Paul went down, stretched himself out upon him, and hugged him. “Don't worry, he's alive,” he said.
Pọl rituru nʼala selite ya elu jikụọ ya. Ọ sịrị ndị gbakọrọ nʼebe ahụ sị, “Ka obi hapụ ịlọ unu mmiri ọ dị ndụ.”
11 Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate together with them. He went on talking with them until dawn came, and then he left.
Ọ laghachikwara nʼụlọ elu ahụ, mgbe ọ nyawachara achịcha ma riekwa, o kwugidere okwu tutu chi abọọ, ọ hapụrụ ha bilie ije ya.
12 They took the young man home alive and well, and were very thankful for this.
Ha kulitere nwokorobịa ahụ na ndụ nke mere ka ọṅụ jupụta ha nʼobi. Ọ gbakwara ha ume nke ukwuu.
13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos. There we were due to pick up Paul, since that was what he had planned as he decided to travel on foot.
Anyị onwe anyị gara nʼihu banye nʼụgbọ mmiri chee ihu ịga Asọs. Ebe anyị zubere iburu Pọl nʼụgbọ anyị. O soghị anyị nʼihi na o zubere iji ụkwụ ruo ebe ahụ.
14 He did indeed meet us at Assos. We picked him up, and went on to Mitylene.
Mgbe o zutere anyị nʼAsọs, anyị buru ya nʼụgbọ gaa Mitilen.
15 Sailing on from there we arrived off Kios, and the next day we stopped briefly at Samos, and the following day we arrived at Miletus.
Nʼụbọchị nke ọzọ ya, anyị rutere Kiọs, nʼụbọchị nke so ya, anyị gafere rute Samọs. Ma mgbe otu ụbọchị ọzọ gasịrị, anyị rutere Melitọs.
16 Paul had planned to sail on past Ephesus so he wouldn't have to spend time in the province of Asia. He was keen to get to Jerusalem in time for the Day of Pentecost.
Nʼoge a, Pọl kpebiri na ọ gaghị akwụsị nʼEfesọs ka ọ ghara itufu oge nʼEshịa, nʼihi na ọ na-eme ngwangwa irute Jerusalem nʼụbọchị mmemme Pentikọọsụ, ma ọ bụrụ ihe ọ pụrụ ime.
17 From Miletus Paul sent a message to the elders of the church in Ephesus.
Site na Melitọs, ọ zipụrụ ozi ka a kpọọrọ ya ndị okenye chọọchị nke Efesọs ka ha bịa zute ya.
18 When they arrived, he told them, “You know how I always behaved while I was with you from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.
Oge ha bịakwutere ya, ọ gwara ha, “Unu maara nke ọma otu m si nọ nʼetiti unu mgbe niile mụ na unu nọrọ, site nʼụbọchị mbụ ụkwụ m zọkwasịrị nʼala Eshịa tutu ruo ugbu a.
19 I served the Lord in humility and in tears. I put up with the troubles and stress caused by the plots of the Jews.
Arụrụ m ọrụ Onyenwe anyị site nʼobi umeala na anya mmiri nʼetiti ntaramahụhụ dị ukwuu, site nʼizu ọjọọ ndị Juu gbara maka m.
20 However, I never held back from sharing with you anything that would be to your benefit, and I taught you in public, going from house to house.
Unu hụrụ na m ahapụghị ime ka unu mara ihe ọbụla ga-abara unu uru, mgbe ọbụla m na-akụziri unu ihe nʼụlọ maọbụ nʼihu ọha.
21 I witnessed both to Jews and Greeks that it was essential to repent and turn to God, and to trust in our Lord Jesus Christ.
E kwusaala m nye ma ndị Juu ma ndị Griik okwu nchegharị nʼebe Chineke nọ, na okwukwe nʼebe Onyenwe anyị Jisọs nọ.
22 Now the Spirit is insisting that I go to Jerusalem, and I have no idea what will happen to me there.
“Ma otu ọ dị, ana m aga Jerusalem dịka iwu Mmụọ Nsọ nyere m si dị, ma amaghị m ihe ọnọdụ m ga-abụ nʼebe ahụ.
23 All I know is that in every city I visit the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and suffering are waiting for me.
Karịakwa na Mmụọ Nsọ na-agbara m ama nʼebe ọbụla na mkpọrọ na ntaramahụhụ na-eche m nʼebe ahụ.
24 But I don't consider my life as worth anything to me. I only want to finish my mission and the ministry that the Lord Jesus gave to me, to witness to the good news of the grace of God.
Ma akpọghị m ndụ m ihe ọbụla. Karịa naanị ka m gbazuo ọsọ m ma jezuokwa ozi ahụ m natara nʼaka Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, nke bụ ịkọwa banyere oziọma nke amara Chineke.
25 Now I am certain that you will not see my face again, you among whom I shared the news of the kingdom.
“Ma ugbu a, amaara m na o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu, bụ ndị m jegharịrị nʼetiti ha na-ezisara ihe banyere alaeze a ga-ahụ m anya ọzọ.
26 So I declare to you today that I am not responsible if anyone is lost.
Ya mere, ana m agwasị unu ike, taa, na abụ m onye aka ya dị ọcha nʼebe ọbara onye ọbụla nʼime unu dị.
27 I didn't hesitate to tell you everything God wants you to know.
Nʼihi na-esepụghị m aka ikwupụta nzọpụta Chineke nye unu.
28 Take care of yourselves and of all the flock, which the Holy Spirit has given to you to supervise. Feed the Lord's church which he bought with his own blood.
Ma ugbu a, kpacharanụ anya! Leziekwanụ onwe unu na igwe atụrụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ mere unu ndị nlekọta anya ya. Ka unu bụrụ ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ nke chọọchị Chineke, bụ nke o ji ọbara ya zụtara onwe ya.
29 I know that after I leave vicious wolves will come among you, and won't spare the flock.
Nʼihi na amaara m na mgbe m lachara, agụ jọgburu onwe ya ga-abata nʼetiti unu nke na-agaghị emere igwe atụrụ ebere.
30 From among your own group men will rise up perverting what is right and good so they can lead believers to follow them.
Ụfọdụ nʼime unu ga-ebili tụgharịa eziokwu ahụ ịhụ ka ha si otu a dọrọ ụfọdụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ahụ nye onwe ha.
31 So watch out! Don't forget that for three years I went on instructing all of you night and day, often crying over you.
Ya mere, na-echenụ nche! Chetakwanụ na nʼime afọ atọ m nọrọ nʼetiti unu, ehihie na abalị, eji m ịkwa akwa na anya mmiri na-adụ unu ọdụ.
32 Now I commit you in God's care and to the message of his grace, which is able to build you up and provide you with the inheritance that belongs to all who are kept right with him.
“Ugbu a ana m etife unu nʼaka Chineke na nlekọta ya. Ana m etifekwa unu nʼaka okwu amara ya nke pụrụ ịgba okwukwe unu ume na inyekwa unu akụnụba ọ kwadobeere ndị ahụ e doro nsọ.
33 I never had any desire for anyone's silver or gold or clothing.
Ọ dịghị mgbe ọbụla agụụ ịdọtara onwe m ọlaọcha maọbụ ọlaedo maọbụ uwe nke onye ọbụla ji gụọ m.
34 You know that I worked with my own hands to provide for my own needs, as well as for those who were with me.
Ọ bakwaghị uru ịgwa unu na ọ bụ aka m rụpụtara ọrụ gbooro m mkpa niile, na nke gbokwara mkpa ndị ahụ mụ na ha so.
35 I have given you an example in everything: work to help those who are weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Nʼihe niile, abụkwa m ihe ilere anya nye unu banyere inyere ndị ogbenye aka, site nʼịrụ ọrụ nʼụzọ dị otu a, na-echetara m okwu nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs kwuru sị, ‘Ngọzị karịrị dị nʼinye enye karịa ịnara anara.’”
36 When he finished speaking, he kneeled down and prayed with all of them.
Mgbe o kwusiri okwu ndị a, o soro ha niile gbuo ikpere nʼala kpekwa ekpere.
37 They all wept as they hugged and kissed him.
Ha bere akwa nke ukwuu, makụọ Pọl, sutukwa ya ọnụ.
38 What upset them the most was what he said about never seeing him again... Then they walked down to the ship with him.
O wutere ha karịa na o kwuru na ha agaghị ahụ ya anya ọzọ. Emesịa, ha duru ya ruo ebe ọ banyere ụgbọ mmiri.
