Acts 20

1 Nowe after the tumult was appeased, Paul called the disciples vnto him, and embraced them, and departed to goe into Macedonia.

Basabasayɛ yi akyi no, Paulo frɛɛ asuafo no kaa nsɛm de hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran, kraa wɔn fii hɔ kɔɔ Makedonia.

2 And when hee had gone through those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Grecia.

Okyinkyin faa amantam no mu, tuu asuafo no fo de hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran. Afei obeduu Hela. Odii hɔ asram abiɛsa.

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.

Bere a ɔresiesie ne ho akɔ Siria no, ɔtee sɛ Yudafo no abɔ ne ho pɔw; enti ɔsan nʼakyi kɔfaa Makedonia kɔe.

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.

Piro a ofi Beroia no ba Sopater ne Paulo na wɔkɔe. Wɔn a wɔka ne ho kɔe no nso bi ne Aristarko ne Sekundo a wofi Tesalonika ne Gaio a ofi Derbe ne Timoteo ne Tihiko ne Trofimo a wofi Asiaman mu no.

5 These went before, and taried vs at Troas.

Saa nnipa yi dii kan kɔtwɛn yɛn wɔ 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.

Yedii Apiti Afahyɛ no wiei no, yefii Filipi, na nnaanum akyi no, yɛkɔtoo wɔn wɔ Troa, dii nnaawɔtwe wɔ hɔ.

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.

Nnaawɔtwe no mu da a edi kan no, yehyiaa mu sɛ anuanom, didii. Esiane sɛ na ade kye a Paulo befi kurow no mu no nti, ɔkasa kyerɛɛ anuanom no kosii ɔdasu mu.

8 And there were many lightes in an vpper chamber, where they were gathered together.

Na akanea pii wɔ abansoro dan a wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no mu.

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.

Bere a Paulo rekasa no, na aberante bi a wɔfrɛ no Eutiko te mfɛnsere ano retɔ nko. Ɔdaa hatee ma ofii abansoro dan a ɛto so abiɛsa no so bɛhwee fam. Wɔmaa no so no na wawu.

10 But Paul went downe, and layde himselfe vpon him, and embraced him, saying, Trouble not your selues: for his life is in him.

Paulo sian baa fam, kobutuw no so, maa no so kae se, “Munnsuro, efisɛ onwuu ɛ!”

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.

Afei ɔsan foro kɔɔ abansoro no so kobubuu brodo ne asuafo no dii. Paulo toaa ne kasa no so kosii adekyee ansa na ɔregyaw wɔn hɔ.

12 And they brought the boye aliue, and they were not a litle comforted.

Anuanom no de anigye de aberante a wonyan no no kɔɔ fie.

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.

Yɛde hyɛn dii kan kɔɔ Aso sɛ yɛrekɔfa Paulo wɔ hɔ, efisɛ na waka akyerɛ yɛn se ɔrefa fam akɔ hɔ.

14 Now when he was come vnto vs to Assos, and we had receiued him, we came to Mitylenes.

Ɔbɛkaa yɛn ho wɔ Aso na yɛne no toaa so kɔɔ 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.

Ade kyee no, yekoduu Kio. Ne nnaanu so no yeduu Samo na nʼadekyee no, yekoduu Mileto.

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.

Esiane sɛ na Paulo ho pere no sɛ onyae a anka obedu Yerusalem akodi Pentekoste Afahyɛ no wɔ hɔ no nti, ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrennyina Efeso, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenkyɛ wɔ Asia.

17 Wherefore from Miletum, hee sent to Ephesus, and called the Elders of the Church.

Paulo soma fii Mileto kɔɔ Efeso kɔka kyerɛɛ asafo mpanyimfo no se wonhyia no.

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,

Wɔbae no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Efi da a edi kan a mebaa Asia no, munim ɔkwan a mefaa so ne mo tenae.

19 Seruing the Lord with all modestie, and with many teares, and tentations, which came vnto me by the layings awaite of the Iewes,

Ɛwɔ mu sɛ ɛnam Yudafo no pɔwbɔ so ma mihuu amane bebree de, nanso mede ahobrɛase ne nusu yɛɛ mʼadwuma sɛ Awurade somfo.

20 And how I kept backe nothing that was profitable, but haue shewed you, and taught you openly and throughout euery house,

Munim sɛ bere a na merekyerɛkyerɛ mo wɔ gua mu ne afi mu no, mamfa biribiara a so bɛba mo mfaso no anhintaw mo.

21 Witnessing both to the Iewes, and to the Grecians the repentance towarde God, and faith toward our Lord Iesus Christ.

Mebɔɔ Yudafo ne amanamanmufo no kɔkɔ sɛ wɔntwe wɔn ho mfi wɔn bɔne ho na wɔmfa wɔn ho mma Onyankopɔn, na wonnye Yesu Kristo nni.

22 And nowe beholde, I goe bound in the Spirit vnto Hierusalem, and know not what things shall come vnto me there,

“Afei esiane sɛ Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ me no nti, merekɔ Yerusalem a minnim asɛm a ɛbɛto me wɔ hɔ.

23 Saue that ye holy Ghost witnesseth in euery citie, saying, that bondes and afflictions abide me.

Nea minim ara ne sɛ kuropɔn biara a mɛkɔ so no, Honhom Kronkron bɔ me kɔkɔ sɛ wɔde me bɛto afiase na mahu amane.

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.

Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a metumi adu botae a esi mʼanim no ho na mawie dwuma a Awurade Yesu de maa me se menka Onyankopɔn dom ho asɛmpa no nti, mammu me kra sɛ ade a ɛsom bo.

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.

“Minim sɛ mo a maka Onyankopɔn ahenni no ho asɛm akyerɛ mo no mu biara renhu me bio.

26 Wherefore I take you to recorde this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

Ɛno nti nnɛ, mereka akyerɛ mo se, sɛ ɛba sɛ mo mu bi yera a, na emfi me.

27 For I haue kept nothing backe, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God.

Efisɛ mamfa Onyankopɔn asɛm no mu biribiara anhintaw mo.

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.

Monhwɛ mo ho so ne nguankuw a Honhom Kronkron de wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa sɛ ahwɛfo no yiye. Monhwɛ wɔn yiye, efisɛ Onyankopɔn de ne Ba no mogya na agye wɔn.

29 For I knowe this, that after my departing shall grieuous wolues enter in among you, not sparing the flocke.

Minim sɛ me kɔ akyi no, atoro akyerɛkyerɛfo a wɔn ho yɛ hu sɛ mpataku bewura mo mu abɛsɛe mo.

30 Moreouer of your owne selues shall men arise speaking peruerse thinges, to drawe disciples after them.

Bere bi bɛba a mo mu ebinom bɛsɔre, nam atoro so atwe asuafo no mu bi adi wɔn akyi.

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.

Ɛno nti monna mo ho so! Monkae sɛ, mfirihyia abiɛsa a midii wɔ mo nkyɛn no, menam amanehunu ne yaw mu tuu mo fo awia ne anadwo.

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.

“Afei mede mo hyɛ Onyankopɔn ne ne dom nsɛm a etumi hyɛ mo gyidi den na ɛma munya nʼagyapade a wasiesie ama ahotefo no nsa.

33 I haue coueted no mans siluer, nor gold, nor apparell.

Mʼani ammere obi dwetɛ anaa sika anaa ntama.

34 Yea, ye knowe, that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

Mo ara mudi adanse sɛ, me nsa ano adwuma so na menam mehwɛɛ me ho ne wɔn a wɔka me ho no.

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.

Mede mʼabrabɔ ayɛ nhwɛso akyerɛ mo sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyere yɛn ho yɛ adwuma de boa ahiafo na yɛkae sɛ, Awurade Yesu ankasa kae se, ‘Ɔma mu wɔ nhyira sen ogye.’”

36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled downe, and prayed with them all.

Paulo kasa wiei no, ɔne wɔn nyinaa buu nkotodwe bɔɔ mpae.

37 Then they wept all abundantly, and fell on Pauls necke, and kissed him,

Wɔn nyinaa sui, bam no, maa no nanteyiye.

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.

Nea ɛyɛɛ wɔn awerɛhow koraa ne asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se wɔrenhu no bio no. Afei wɔn nyinaa kogyaa no hyɛn no mu.
