< Acts 20 >
1 And after the tumult had stilled, Paulos called the disciples and consoled them and kissed them, and going forth went unto Makedunia.
After the uproar ceased, Paul, having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, bidding them adieu, departed to go into Macedonia.
2 And when he had itinerated those regions, and had consoled them with many words, he came into the country of Hales,
And having come through those regions, and exhorted them with much speaking, he came into Greece;
3 and was there three months. But the Jihudoyee wrought treachery against him, when he was about to go into Syria, and had thought to return into Makedunia.
and having remained three months, a plot rising against him from the Jews, when about to sail for Syria, he was of a mind to return through Macedonia.
4 And (there) went forth with him into Asia Supatros who was from Berula, the city; and Aristarkos and Sakundos, who (were) from Thessalonika; and Gaios, who was from Derbe the city; and Timotheos, who was from Lystra; and from Asia, Tukikos and Trophimos.
And Sopater the (son) of Pyrrhus, the Berean, and Aristarchus, the Thessalonian, and Secundus; and Gaius the Derbean, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus the Asiatics, accompanied him;
5 These went before us, and waited for us in Troas.
and these having gone in advance, awaited us in Troas;
6 But we went forth from Philipos, a city of the Makedunoyee, after the days of the Phatiree, and voyaged by sea and came to Troas in five days, and there were we seven days.
and we, after the days of unleaven bread, sailed from Philippi, and came to them into Troas within five days; where we spent seven days.
7 AND on the first day in the week, when we were assembled to break the eucharist, Paulos discoursed with them, because the day following he was to depart; and he prolonged his discourse until the dividing of the night.
And on the first of the Sabbaths we being assembled to break bread, Paul spoke to them, being about to depart the following day, and continued his discourse till midnight:
8 And there were many lamps of fire in the high-room where we were assembled.
and there were many lamps in the upper room, where we were assembled.
9 And a certain youth whose name was Eutikos sat in a window and heard. And he had sunk into a heavy sleep while Paulos prolonged his discourse, and in his sleep he fell from the third floor, and was taken up as dead.
Paul speaking more prolixly, there was a certain young man, Eutychus by name, sitting in the window, being borne down with deep sleep, completely relaxed by sleep, fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.
10 And Paulos descended, and fell upon him and embraced him, and said, Be not agitated, for his life is in him.
And Paul, having come down, fell on him, and taking him in his arms said, Fear not; for his soul is in him:
11 When he had gone up, he broke bread and tasted, speaking with them until the morning arose; and then went he forth to proceed by land.
and having come up, and broken the bread, and eaten, and talking a long time, until daydawn, thus he departed.
12 And they brought the young man alive, and rejoiced over him greatly.
And they led up the boy alive, and were comforted exceedingly.
13 But we went down to the ship, and voyaged to the port of Thesos, because there we were to receive Paulos, for thus he had instructed us, while he himself would proceed by land.
But we, having come in advance to the ship, embarked for Assos, thence being about to take up Paul, for he had so commanded us, himself being about to go on foot.
14 But when we had received him from Thesos, we took him up into the ship and came to Mitylene.
And when he met us at Assos, taking him up, we came to Mitylene.
15 And from thence the day after we voyaged over against Kios the island, and again the day after we came to Samos; and we tarried at Trogalium, and the day after we came to Militos:
And thence having sailed away on the following day we arrived opposite Chios; and on the following day we touched at Samos, and on the next day we came into Miletus.
16 for Paulos had decided with himself to pass by Ephesos, that he might not be hindered there, because he hastened, that, if it were possible, on the day of the Pentecost in Urishlem he might work.
For Paul decided to sail by Ephesus, in order that it might not be necessary for him to spend the time in Asia: for he was hastening, if it might be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 AND from Militos he sent to bring the presbyters of the church of Ephesos;
And having sent from Miletus into Ephesus, he called for the elders of the church.
18 and when they came to him, he said to them: You know, that from the first day that I entered Asia, how I was with you all time,
And when they came to him, he said to them, You know, that from the first day from which I came unto Asia, how I was with you all the time,
19 serving Aloha in much lowliness and with tears, and in those temptations which passed upon me through the devices of the Jihudoyee.
serving the Lord with all humility, and tears, and temptations, which came upon me through the plots of the Jews:
20 Neither neglected I any thing that was profitable for your souls, that I might preach to you and teach in public places and in houses,
how I omitted nothing of those things which are profitable, that I should not declare unto you and teach you publicly and from house to house,
21 while I testified to Jihudoyee and to Aramoyee concerning repentance that is toward Aloha, and faith which is in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
witnessing both to Jews, and to Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 And now I, bound in the Spirit, go to Urishlem; not knowing what I shall know in her.
And now, behold, I go to Jerusalem bound in spirit, not knowing the things which shall come upon me in it:
23 Nevertheless, the Spirit of Holiness in every city testifieth to me and saith, that bonds and afflictions are for me.
except that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesses to me, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.
24 But by me my life is reckoned nothing, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry I have received from our Lord Jeshu, to bear witness concerning the gospel of the grace of Aloha.
But I consider my life worthy of no consideration to myself, so as to finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear testimony to the gospel of the grace of God.
25 And now, I know that again my face you will not see, you, all, among whom I have gone about, preaching to you the kingdom of Aloha.
And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I came preaching the gospel of the kingdom, shall see my face no more.
26 I testify to you this very day, that I am pure from the blood of you all.
Therefore I witness to you this clay, that I am pure from the blood of all men;
27 For I have not shunned to make known to you all the will of Aloha.
for I did not shrink to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to the whole flock over which the Spirit of Holiness hath constituted you the bishops; to pasture the church of the Meshiha which he hath purchased with his blood.
Take heed to yourselves, and all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost has placed you shepherds, to shepherdise the church of God, which He bought with His own blood.
29 For I know that after I shall have gone, there will enter with you furious wolves which will not spare the flock.
I know, that after my departure grievous wolves will rise up against you, not sparing the flock;
30 And also from you, of yourselves, will men arise speaking perverse things to turn away disciples to go after them.
and men from you yourselves will rise up, speaking perverse things, in order to lead away disciples after them.
31 On account of this be watchful, and remember, that for three years I ceased not by night and by day with tears to instruct every one of you.
Watch therefore, remembering, that three years night and day I ceased not admonishing you with tears.
32 And now I commend you to Aloha, and to the word of his grace, who is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance with all the saints.
And now I commend you to God and the word of His grace, who is able to edify you, and give you an inheritance among all the sanctified.
33 Silver, or gold, or raiment have I not coveted;
I have not sought the silver, or gold, or raiment of any one;
34 and you know to the necessity of myself, and of those who are with me, these hands have ministered.
you yourselves know, that these hands did minister to my necessities, and those along with me.
35 And I have shown you every thing, (that) so it behoveth to labour, and to be careful of those who are infirm, and to remember the word of our Lord Jeshu, that he said, He is blessed who giveth, more than he who receiveth.
I have shown you all things, that it so behooveth you laboring to assist the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 And when these he had said, he kneeled on his knees and prayed, and all the men with him.
And having said these things, putting down his knees along with them all, he prayed.
37 And there was a great weeping with all of them, and they embraced him and kissed him;
And the weeping of all was great, and falling on the neck of Paul, they continued to kiss him copiously,
38 but most agonized (were they) by that word which he had spoken, that again they were not to see his face. And they accompanied him to the ship.
being especially grieved at the word which he had spoken, that they were about to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
