Acts 20
1 Nowe after the tumult was appeased, Paul called the disciples vnto him, and embraced them, and departed to goe into Macedonia.
Le nu siawo katã megbe la, Paulo yɔ nusrɔ̃lawo eye wògagblɔ nya na wo hede dzi ƒo na wo. Emegbe la, eklã wo hedzo ɖo ta Makedonia.
2 And when hee had gone through those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Grecia.
Le du sia du si me wòɖo le mɔa dzi me la, eƒoa nu hexlɔ̃a nu xɔsetɔ siwo le afi ma va se ɖe esi wòɖo Griki.
3 And hauing taried there three moneths, because the Iewes layde waite for him, as hee was about to saile into Syria, hee purposed to returne through Macedonia.
Paulo nɔ Helanyigba dzi ɣleti etɔ̃, eye esi wònɔ dzadzram ɖo be yeayi Siria la, ese be Yudatɔwo nɔ ɖoɖo wɔm be yewoawui. Le esia ta la, eɖoe be yeagatrɔ aɖo ta Makedonia boŋ.
4 And there accompanied him into Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of them of Thessalonica, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of them of Asia, Tychicus, and Trophimus.
Ame geɖewo kplɔ Paulo ɖo ɖa va se ɖe keke Terki. Wo dometɔ aɖewoe nye Sopata si nye Piro ƒe vi tso Berea, Aristako kple Sekundo siwo tso Tesalonika, Gayo tso Derbe, Timoteo, Tikiko kple Trofimo, ame siwo tso Asia nuto me.
5 These went before, and taried vs at Troas.
Ame siawo katã do ŋgɔ na mí, eye wonɔ mía lalam le Troa.
6 And we sailed forth from Philippi, after the dayes of vnleauened bread, and came vnto them to Troas in fiue dayes, where we abode seuen dayes.
Esime míeɖu Amɔ Maʋamaʋã Ŋkeke la vɔ ko la, míeɖo tɔdziʋu le Filipi, eye le ŋkeke atɔ̃ megbe la, míeva ɖo Troa si hã le Terki. Míenɔ afi ma kɔsiɖa ɖeka.
7 And the first day of the weeke, the disciples being come together to breake bread, Paul preached vnto them, ready to depart on the morrow, and continued the preaching vnto midnight.
Le kɔsiɖa ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, míeƒo ƒu be míaxɔ Aƒetɔ ƒe Nuɖuɖu Kɔkɔe la. Pauloe gblɔ nya gbe ma gbe. Esi wònye gbe ma gbee nye Paulo ƒe ŋkeke mamlɛtɔ le afi ma ta la, enɔ nu ƒom ʋuu va se ɖe zãtitina ke.
8 And there were many lightes in an vpper chamber, where they were gathered together.
Wosi akaɖiwo ɖe afi si míenɔ le dziƒoxɔa dzi.
9 And there sate in a windowe a certaine yong man, named Eutychus, fallen into a dead sleepe: and as Paul was long preaching, hee ouercome with sleepe, fell downe from the thirde loft, and was taken vp dead.
Esi Paulo nɔ nu ƒom alea la, ɖekakpui aɖe si woyɔna be Eutiko la nɔ akɔlɔ̃e dɔm le fesre ɖeka nu. Kasia, Eutiko ge tso fesrea nu le dziƒoxɔ etɔ̃lia dzi ke va dze anyigba kpla, eye wòku enumake.
10 But Paul went downe, and layde himselfe vpon him, and embraced him, saying, Trouble not your selues: for his life is in him.
Nu si dzɔ la metso dzika ƒo na Paulo kura o, ke boŋ eɖi ɖe anyigba, kɔ ɖekakpui la ɖe eƒe abɔwo me, eye wògblɔ na ameha la be, “Migawɔ ʋunyaʋunya o, naneke medzɔ ɖe edzi o. Egale agbe.”
11 Then when Paul was come vp againe, and had broken bread, and eaten, hauing spoken a long while till the dawning of the day, hee so departed.
Wo katã wogatrɔ yi dziƒoxɔ la dzi, eye woɖu Aƒetɔ ƒe Nuɖuɖu Kɔkɔe la. Le esia megbe la, Paulo gayi eƒe nuƒoa dzi ʋuu va se ɖe fɔŋli hafi wòdzo le wo gbɔ.
12 And they brought the boye aliue, and they were not a litle comforted.
Le nyateƒe me la, ɖekakpui la gagbɔ agbe, esia na be ameha la kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ.
13 Then we went before to shippe, and sailed vnto the citie Assos, that wee might receiue Paul there: for so had hee appointed, and would himselfe goe afoote.
Paulo to afɔ yi Aso, ke míawo míeɖo tɔdziʋu hedze ŋgɔ nɛ.
14 Now when he was come vnto vs to Assos, and we had receiued him, we came to Mitylenes.
Eva tu mí le Aso, eye mí katã míeɖo ʋu yi Mitilene.
15 And wee sailed thence, and came the next day ouer against Chios, and the next day we arriued at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium: the next day we came to Miletum.
Tso afi ma la, míeva to Kios ŋu, va to Samo, eye mlɔeba la, míeva ɖo Mileto esi ŋu ke.
16 For Paul had determined to saile by Ephesus, because hee woulde not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted to be, if hee could possible, at Hierusalem, at the day of Pentecost.
Paulo megadi be yeatɔ ɖe Efeso azɔ o, be yemagblẽ ɣeyiɣi le Asia o. Ke edi be ne yeate ŋui la, yeaɖo Yerusalem kaba, aɖu Pentekoste ŋkeke la le afi ma.
17 Wherefore from Miletum, hee sent to Ephesus, and called the Elders of the Church.
Esi míeɖi go ɖe Mileto la, Paulo ɖo ame ɖe Efeso hamemegãwo be woava do go ye le tɔdziʋu la me.
18 Who when they were come to him, hee said vnto them, Ye know from the first day that I came into Asia, after what maner I haue bene with you at all seasons,
Esi wova ɖo la, egblɔ na wo be, “Mienya ale si menɔ mia dome tso ŋkeke gbãtɔ si meva Asia nuto me va se ɖe fifia.
19 Seruing the Lord with all modestie, and with many teares, and tentations, which came vnto me by the layings awaite of the Iewes,
Mesubɔ Aƒetɔ la le ɖokuibɔbɔ kple aɖatsi me togbɔ be Yudatɔwo tem kpɔ to woƒe nugbeɖoɖowo ɖe ŋunye me hã.”
20 And how I kept backe nothing that was profitable, but haue shewed you, and taught you openly and throughout euery house,
Gake hã la, nyemadzudzɔ nyateƒe la gbɔgblɔ na mi le dutoƒo loo alo le miaƒe aƒewo me kpɔ o.
21 Witnessing both to the Iewes, and to the Grecians the repentance towarde God, and faith toward our Lord Iesus Christ.
Nya ɖeka ma ke ko megblɔ na Yudatɔwo kple Grikitɔwo siaa be ehiã be woatrɔ ɖe Mawu ŋu to Yesu Kristo dzixɔse me.
22 And nowe beholde, I goe bound in the Spirit vnto Hierusalem, and know not what things shall come vnto me there,
“Fifia la, Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la kplɔm yina Yerusalem, togbɔ be nyemenya nu si le lalayem le afi ma o hã.
23 Saue that ye holy Ghost witnesseth in euery citie, saying, that bondes and afflictions abide me.
Nu si ko Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔ nam le du sia du mee nye be fukpekpe kple gamenɔnɔ nye nu siwo wòle be makpɔ mɔ na.
24 But I passe not at all, neither is my life deare vnto my selfe, so that I may fulfill my course with ioye, and the ministration which I haue receiued of the Lord Iesus, to testifie the Gospell of the grace of God.
Ke viɖe aɖeke mele nye agbe ŋu o, negbe ɖeko mewɔ eŋuti dɔ tsɔ wɔ dɔ si Aƒetɔ Yesu de asi nam la. Dɔ lae nye be magblɔ nyanyui la na amewo le Mawu ƒe amenuveve gã ŋuti.
25 And now behold, I know that henceforth ye all, through whome I haue gone preaching the kingdome of God, shall see my face no more.
“Azɔ menyae nyuie be mi ame siwo katã dome menɔ wɔ dɔ, heɖe gbeƒã mawufiaɖuƒe la la, dometɔ aɖeke megale kpɔ nye ge akpɔ o.
26 Wherefore I take you to recorde this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
Medi be magblɔ na mi kɔtɛe be womele ame aɖeke ƒe ʋu bia ge tso asinye o,
27 For I haue kept nothing backe, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God.
elabena nyemeɣla mawunya la ƒe akpa aɖeke ɖe mi o.
28 Take heede therefore vnto your selues, and to all the flocke, whereof the holy Ghost hath made you Ouerseers, to feede the Church of God, which hee hath purchased with that his owne blood.
Azɔ la, mikpɔ mia ɖokui dzi nyuie, eye mikpɔ egbɔ be, mienyi Mawu ƒe alẽha si nye hame si wòtsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe ʋu ƒle, esi Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ɖo mi be mianye hadzikpɔlawo.
29 For I knowe this, that after my departing shall grieuous wolues enter in among you, not sparing the flocke.
Menya nyuie be ne medzo la, aʋatsonufiala aɖewo ava ɖo mia dome abe amegaxi wɔadãwo ene, eye woadze agbagba be yewoagblẽ nu le alẽha si nye hamea la ŋu.
30 Moreouer of your owne selues shall men arise speaking peruerse thinges, to drawe disciples after them.
Mia dometɔ aɖewo hã ate kpɔ atrɔ nyateƒe la bubue be amewo nadze yewo yome.
31 Therefore watche, and remember, that by the space of three yeres I ceased not to warne euery one, both night and day with teares.
Eya ta minɔ ŋudzɔ! Miɖo ŋku ƒe etɔ̃ siwo menɔ mia dome la dzi. Miɖo ŋku ale si mekpɔa mia dzi zã kple keli kple ale si mexlɔ̃a nu mi kple aɖatsi zi geɖe la dzi.
32 And nowe brethren, I commend you to God, and to the worde of his grace, which is able to build further, and to giue you an inheritance, among all them, which are sanctified.
“Azɔ metsɔ mi de asi na Mawu, eya ame si ƒe amenuvevenya ana be miaƒe xɔse nali ke, be wòakpɔ mia ta, eye wòakpɔ gome le ame tiatiawo katã ƒe domenyinu la me.
33 I haue coueted no mans siluer, nor gold, nor apparell.
Nyemebiã ŋu ɖe ame aɖeke ƒe klosalo alo sika alo awu ŋu o.
34 Yea, ye knowe, that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
Miawo ŋutɔ mienya ale si metsɔ nye asi wɔ dɔ hedi nye ŋutɔ kple nye kpeɖeŋutɔwo ƒe nuhiahiãwoe.
35 I haue shewed you all things, howe that so labouring, ye ought to support the weake, and to remember the wordes of the Lord Iesus, howe that hee saide, It is a blessed thing to giue, rather then to receiue.
Zi geɖe la, mefia ale si miakpe ɖe ame dahewo ŋuti la mi, elabena meɖo ŋku nya si míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu gblɔ dzi be, ‘Nunana hea yayra vɛ wu nuxɔxɔ.’”
36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled downe, and prayed with them all.
Esi Paulo wu eƒe nuƒoa nu la, edze klo hedo gbe ɖa kpli wo.
37 Then they wept all abundantly, and fell on Pauls necke, and kissed him,
Le esia megbe la, wokpla asi kɔ nɛ hedo hedenyuie nɛ kple avi,
38 Being chiefly sorie for the words which he spake, That they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him vnto the shippe.
vevietɔ le esime wògblɔ na wo be womegale ye kpɔ ge akpɔ o la ta. Ale wokplɔe ɖo ɖa va se ɖe tɔdziʋu la me ke.
