< Acts 20 >
1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed in order to go into Macedonia.
itthaṁ kalahe nivṛtte sati paulaḥ śiṣyagaṇam āhūya visarjanaṁ prāpya mākidaniyādeśaṁ prasthitavān|
2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, (logos) he came into Greece,
tena sthānena gacchan taddeśīyān śiṣyān bahūpadiśya yūnānīyadeśam upasthitavān|
3 And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
tatra māsatrayaṁ sthitvā tasmāt suriyādeśaṁ yātum udyataḥ, kintu yihūdīyāstaṁ hantuṁ guptā atiṣṭhan tasmāt sa punarapi mākidaniyāmārgeṇa pratyāgantuṁ matiṁ kṛtavān|
4 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
birayānagarīyasopātraḥ thiṣalanīkīyāristārkhasikundau darbbonagarīyagāyatīmathiyau āśiyādeśīyatukhikatraphimau ca tena sārddhaṁ āśiyādeśaṁ yāvad gatavantaḥ|
5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
ete sarvve 'grasarāḥ santo 'smān apekṣya troyānagare sthitavantaḥ|
6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
kiṇvaśūnyapūpotsavadine ca gate sati vayaṁ philipīnagarāt toyapathena gatvā pañcabhi rdinaistroyānagaram upasthāya tatra saptadinānyavātiṣṭhāma|
7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the next day; and continued his speech (logos) until midnight.
saptāhasya prathamadine pūpān bhaṁktu śiṣyeṣu militeṣu paulaḥ paradine tasmāt prasthātum udyataḥ san tadahni prāyeṇa kṣapāyā yāmadvayaṁ yāvat śiṣyebhyo dharmmakathām akathayat|
8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
uparisthe yasmin prakoṣṭhe sabhāṁ kṛtvāsan tatra bahavaḥ pradīpāḥ prājvalan|
9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third upper room, and was taken 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 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
tataḥ paulo'varuhya tasya gātre patitvā taṁ kroḍe nidhāya kathitavān, yūyaṁ vyākulā mā bhūta nāyaṁ prāṇai rviyuktaḥ|
11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
paścāt sa punaścopari gatvā pūpān bhaṁktvā prabhātaṁ yāvat kathopakathane kṛtvā prasthitavān|
12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
te ca taṁ jīvantaṁ yuvānaṁ gṛhītvā gatvā paramāpyāyitā jātāḥ|
13 And we went on board ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go on foot.
anantaraṁ vayaṁ potenāgrasarā bhūtvāsmanagaram uttīryya paulaṁ grahītuṁ matim akurmma yataḥ sa tatra padbhyāṁ vrajituṁ matiṁ kṛtveti nirūpitavān|
14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
tasmāt tatrāsmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ tasmin milite sati vayaṁ taṁ nītvā mitulīnyupadvīpaṁ prāptavantaḥ|
15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day opposite to Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next 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 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
yataḥ paula āśiyādeśe kālaṁ yāpayitum nābhilaṣan iphiṣanagaraṁ tyaktvā yātuṁ mantraṇāṁ sthirīkṛtavān; yasmād yadi sādhyaṁ bhavati tarhi nistārotsavasya pañcāśattamadine sa yirūśālamyupasthātuṁ matiṁ kṛtavān|
17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
paulo milītād iphiṣaṁ prati lokaṁ prahitya samājasya prācīnān āhūyānītavān|
18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, All of you know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
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 of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
phalataḥ sarvvathā namramanāḥ san bahuśrupātena yihudīyānām kumantraṇājātanānāparīkṣābhiḥ prabhoḥ sevāmakaravaṁ|
20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
kāmapi hitakathāṁ na gopāyitavān tāṁ pracāryya saprakāśaṁ gṛhe gṛhe samupadiśyeśvaraṁ prati manaḥ parāvarttanīyaṁ prabhau yīśukhrīṣṭe viśvasanīyaṁ
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
yihūdīyānām anyadeśīyalokānāñca samīpa etādṛśaṁ sākṣyaṁ dadāmi|
22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit (pneuma) unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
paśyata sāmpratam ātmanākṛṣṭaḥ san yirūśālamnagare yātrāṁ karomi, tatra māmprati yadyad ghaṭiṣyate tānyahaṁ na jānāmi;
23 Save that the Holy Spirit (pneuma) witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
kintu mayā bandhanaṁ kleśaśca bhoktavya iti pavitra ātmā nagare nagare pramāṇaṁ dadāti|
24 But none of these things (logos) move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel 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 And now, behold, I know that all of you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
adhunā paśyata yeṣāṁ samīpe'ham īśvarīyarājyasya susaṁvādaṁ pracāryya bhramaṇaṁ kṛtavān etādṛśā yūyaṁ mama vadanaṁ puna rdraṣṭuṁ na prāpsyatha etadapyahaṁ jānāmi|
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
yuṣmabhyam aham īśvarasya sarvvān ādeśān prakāśayituṁ na nyavartte|
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
ahaṁ sarvveṣāṁ lokānāṁ raktapātadoṣād yannirdoṣa āse tasyādya yuṣmān sākṣiṇaḥ karomi|
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Spirit (pneuma) has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has 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 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
yato mayā gamane kṛtaeva durjayā vṛkā yuṣmākaṁ madhyaṁ praviśya vrajaṁ prati nirdayatām ācariṣyanti,
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
yuṣmākameva madhyādapi lokā utthāya śiṣyagaṇam apahantuṁ viparītam upadekṣyantītyahaṁ jānāmi|
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
iti heto ryūyaṁ sacaitanyāḥ santastiṣṭata, ahañca sāśrupātaḥ san vatsaratrayaṁ yāvad divāniśaṁ pratijanaṁ bodhayituṁ na nyavartte tadapi smarata|
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word (logos) of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
idānīṁ he bhrātaro yuṣmākaṁ niṣṭhāṁ janayituṁ pavitrīkṛtalokānāṁ madhye'dhikārañca dātuṁ samartho ya īśvarastasyānugrahasya yo vādaśca tayorubhayo ryuṣmān samārpayam|
33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
kasyāpi svarṇaṁ rūpyaṁ vastraṁ vā prati mayā lobho na kṛtaḥ|
34 Yea, all of you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
kintu mama matsahacaralokānāñcāvaśyakavyayāya madīyamidaṁ karadvayam aśrāmyad etad yūyaṁ jānītha|
35 I have showed you all things, how that so labouring all of you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words (logos) of the Lord Jesus, how he 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 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
etāṁ kathāṁ kathayitvā sa jānunī pātayitvā sarvaiḥ saha prārthayata|
37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
tena te krandrantaḥ
38 Sorrowing most of all for the words (logos) which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
puna rmama mukhaṁ na drakṣyatha viśeṣata eṣā yā kathā tenākathi tatkāraṇāt śokaṁ vilāpañca kṛtvā kaṇṭhaṁ dhṛtvā cumbitavantaḥ| paścāt te taṁ potaṁ nītavantaḥ|
