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 asuafoɔ no kaa nsɛm de hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran, kraa wɔn firii hɔ kɔɔ Makedonia.

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

Ɔkyinkyini faa amantam no mu, tuu asuafoɔ no fo de hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran. Afei, ɔbɛduruu Hela. Ɔdii hɔ abosome mmiɛnsa.

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.

Ɛberɛ a ɔresiesie ne ho akɔ Siria no, ɔtee sɛ Yudafoɔ no abɔ ne ho pɔ; enti ɔsane nʼakyi kɔfaa Makedonia kɔeɛ.

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 ɔfiri Beroia no ba Sopater ne Paulo na ɛkɔeɛ. Wɔn a wɔka ne ho kɔeɛ no nso bi ne Aristarko ne Sekundo a wɔfiri Tesalonika ne Gaio a ɔfiri Derbe ne Timoteo ne Tihiko ne Trofimo a wɔfiri Asiaman mu no.

5 these, having gone before, remained for us in Troas,

Saa nnipa yi dii ɛkan kɔtwɛnee 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.

Yɛdii Apiti Afahyɛ no wieeɛ no, yɛfirii Filipi, na nnanum akyi no, yɛkɔtoo wɔn wɔ Troa, dii nnawɔtwe 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,

Nnawɔtwe no mu da a ɛdi ɛkan no, yɛhyiaam sɛ anuanom didiiɛ. Esiane sɛ na adeɛ kye a Paulo bɛfiri kuro no mu no enti, ɔkasa kyerɛɛ anuanom no kɔsii ɔdasuom.

8 and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together,

Na nkanea pii wɔ abansoro dan a yɛahyia 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.

Ɛberɛ a Paulo rekasa no, na aberanteɛ bi a wɔfrɛ no Eutiko te mfɛnsere ano retɔ nko. Ɔdaa hatee maa ɔfiri abansoro dan a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no so bɛhwee fam. Wɔmaa ne 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 siane baa fam, kɔbutuu ne so, maa ne so kaa sɛ, “Monnsuro, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnwuiɛ!”

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, ɔsane foro kɔɔ abansoro no so kɔbubuu burodo ne asuafoɔ no diiɛ. Paulo toaa ne kasa no so kɔsii adekyeɛ ansa na ɔregya wɔn hɔ.

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

Anuanom no de anigyeɛ de aberanteɛ a wɔnyanee no no kɔɔ efie.

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 ɛhyɛn dii ɛkan kɔɔ Aso sɛ yɛrekɔfa Paulo wɔ hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na waka akyerɛ yɛn sɛ 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,

Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, yɛkɔduruu Kio. Ne nnanu so no, yɛbɛduruu Samo; na nʼadekyeeɛ no, yɛbɛduruu 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, sɛ ɛbɛtumi a ɔbɛduru Yerusalem akɔdi Pentekoste Afahyɛ no wɔ hɔ no enti, ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrennyina Efeso, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenkyɛ wɔ Asia.

17 And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

Paulo soma firii Mileto kɔɔ Efeso kɔka kyerɛɛ asafo mpanimfoɔ no sɛ wɔnhyia 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;

Wɔbaeɛ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛfiri da a ɛdi ɛkan a mebaa Asia no, monim ɛkwan a mefaa so ne mo tenaeɛ.

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

Ɛwom sɛ ɛnam Yudafoɔ no pɔbɔ so maa mehunuu amane bebree de, nanso mede ahobrɛaseɛ ne nisuo yɛɛ mʼadwuma sɛ Awurade ɔsomfoɔ.

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,

Monim sɛ ɛberɛ a na merekyerɛkyerɛ mo wɔ dwam ne afie mu no, mamfa biribiara a ɛho bɛba mo mfasoɔ no anhinta mo.

21 testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, conversion toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mebɔɔ Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ no kɔkɔ sɛ wɔntwe wɔn ho mfiri wɔn bɔne ho, mfa wɔn ho mma Onyankopɔn, na wɔnnye 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, ɛsiane sɛ Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ me no enti, merekɔ Yerusalem a mennim 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;

Deɛ menim ara ne sɛ kuropɔn biara a mɛkɔ so no, Honhom Kronkron bɔ me kɔkɔ sɛ wɔde me bɛto afiase na mahunu 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.

Sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mɛtumi maduru botaeɛ a ɛsi mʼanim no ho na mawie dwuma a Awurade Yesu de maa me sɛ menka Onyankopɔn dom ho asɛmpa no enti, mammu me kra sɛ adeɛ 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;

“Menim sɛ mo a maka Onyankopɔn Ahennie no ho asɛm akyerɛ mo no mu biara renhunu me bio.

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

Ɛno enti, ɛnnɛ, mereka makyerɛ mo sɛ, sɛ ɛba sɛ mo mu bi yera a, na ɛmfiri me.

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

Ɛfiri sɛ, mamfa Onyankopɔn asɛm no mu biribiara anhinta 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 nnwankuo a Honhom Kronkron de wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa sɛ ahwɛfoɔ no yie. Monhwɛ wɔn yie, ɛfiri sɛ, 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,

Menim sɛ me kɔ akyi no, atorɔ akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a wɔn ho yɛ hu sɛ mpataku bɛwura mo mu abɛsɛe mo.

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

Ɛberɛ bi bɛba a, mo mu binom bɛsɔre, nam atorɔ so atwe asuafoɔ 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 enti, monna mo ho so! Monkae sɛ, mfirinhyia mmiɛnsa a medii wɔ mo nkyɛn no, menam amanehunu ne yea 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 ɛtumi hyɛ mo gyidie den na ɛma monya nʼagyapadeɛ a wasiesie ama ahotefoɔ no nsa.

33 I coveted the silver or gold or clothing of no one;

Mʼani ammere obi dwetɛ anaa sika anaa ntoma.

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

Mo ara modi adanseɛ 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 nhwɛsoɔ akyerɛ mo sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyere yɛn ho yɛ adwuma de boa ahiafoɔ na yɛkae sɛ, Awurade Yesu ankasa kaa sɛ, ‘Ɔma mu wɔ nhyira sene ɔgyeɛ.’”

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

Paulo kasa wieeɛ no ɔne wɔn nyinaa buu nkotodwe bɔɔ mpaeɛ.

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

Wɔn nyinaa suiɛ, bam no, maa no nanteyie.

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.

Deɛ ɛyɛɛ wɔn awerɛhoɔ koraa ne asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔrenhunu no bio no. Afei, wɔn nyinaa kɔgyaa no ɛhyɛn no mu.
