Acts 20

1 And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called near the disciples, and having embraced [them], went forth to go on to Macedonia;

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

2 and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came to Greece;

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

3 and having continued three months—a counsel of the Jews having been against him—being about to set forth to Syria, there came [to him] a resolution of returning 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 were accompanying him to Asia, Sopater of Pyrrhus from Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asians 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, having gone before, remained for us in Troas,

Saa nnipa yi dii kan kɔtwɛn yɛn wɔ Troa.

6 and we sailed, after the days of the Unleavened [Bread], from Philippi, and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abided seven days.

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

7 And on the first [day] of the weeks, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the next day, he was also continuing the discourse until 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 lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together,

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

9 and there a certain youth was sitting, by name Eutychus, on the window—being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long—he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up 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 And Paul, having gone down, fell on him, and having embraced [him], said, “Make no tumult, for his life is in him”;

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

11 and having come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked—until daylight, so he went forth,

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 up the boy alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.

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

13 And we having gone before to the ship, sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;

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

14 and when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene,

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

15 and there having sailed, on the next day we came opposite Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus,

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

16 for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he was hurrying, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of the 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 And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

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

18 and when they were come to him, he said to them, “You know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how I was with you at all times;

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

19 serving the LORD with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against [me];

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

20 how I kept back nothing of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every 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 testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, conversion toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus 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 now, behold, I—bound in the Spirit—go on to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will befall me in it,

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

23 except that the Holy Spirit fully testifies in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations remain for 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 make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify [to] the good news 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 have known that you will no longer see my face, among all you [to] whom I went preaching the Kingdom of God;

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

26 for this reason I take you to witness this day, that I [am] clear from the blood of all,

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

27 for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.

Efisɛ mamfa Onyankopɔn asɛm no mu biribiara anhintaw mo.

28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the Assembly of God that He acquired through His own 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 have known this, that there will enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves to you, not sparing the flock,

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

30 and there will arise men of your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

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

31 Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

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 now, I commend you, brothers, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those 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 coveted the silver or gold or clothing of no one;

Mʼani ammere obi dwetɛ anaa sika anaa ntama.

34 and you yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, these hands ministered;

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

35 I showed you all things, that, thus laboring, it is necessary to partake with the ailing, to also be mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said: It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

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 having said these things, having bowed his knees, with them all, he prayed,

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

37 and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen on the neck of Paul, they were kissing him,

Wɔn nyinaa sui, bam no, maa no nanteyiye.

38 sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said—that they are about to see his face no longer; and they were accompanying him to the ship.

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