Acts 20
1 And aftir the noise ceesside, Poul clepide the disciplis, and monestide hem, and seide fare wel; and he wente forth, to go in to Macedonye.
After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.
2 And whanne he hadde walkid bi tho coostis, and hadde monestid hem bi many wordis, he cam to Greece.
When he had gone through those parts, and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
3 Where whanne he hadde be thre monethis, the Jewis leiden aspies for hym, that was to saile in to Sirie; and he hadde counsel to turne ayen bi Macedonye.
When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
4 And Sosipater of Pirri Boroense folowide hym; of Thessolonycenses, Astirak, and Secoundus, and Gayus Derbeus, and Tymothe; and Asians, Titicus and Trofimus.
He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus of Beroea; Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians; Gaius of Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
5 These for thei wenten bifore, aboden vs at Troade.
But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.
6 For we schippiden aftir the daies of therf looues fro Filippis, and cam to hem at Troade in fyue daies, where we dwelten seuene daies.
We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.
7 And in the first dai of the woke, whanne we camen to breke breed, Poul disputide with hem, and schulde go forth in the morew;
On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and continued his speech until midnight.
8 and he drow along the sermoun til in to mydnyyt. And many laumpes weren in the soler, where we weren gaderyd togidir.
There were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together.
9 And a yong man, Euticus bi name, sat on the wyndowe, whanne he was fallun in to an heuy sleep, while Poul disputide long, al slepynge he felle doun fro the thridde stage; and he was takun vp, and was brouyt deed.
A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.
10 To whom whanne Poul cam doun, he lay on hym, and biclippide, and seide, Nyle ye be troblid; for his soule is in hym.
Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Do not be troubled, for his life is in him."
11 And he wente vp, and brak breed, and eete, and spak ynowy vnto the dai; and so he wente forth.
When he had gone up, and had broken bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.
12 And thei brouyten the childe alyue, and thei weren coumfortid greetli.
They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.
13 And we wenten vp in to a schip, and schippiden in to Asson, to take Poul fro thennus; for so he hadde disposid to make iourney bi loond.
But we who went ahead to the ship set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.
14 And whanne he foond vs in Asson, we token hym, and camen to Mitilene.
When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard, and came to Mitylene.
15 And fro thennus we schippiden in the dai suynge, and we camen ayens Chyum, and another dai we hauenyden at Samum, and in the dai suynge we camen to Mylete.
Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we landed at Samos, and the day after we came to Miletus.
16 And Poul purposide to schip ouer to Efesi, lest ony tariyng were maad to hym in Asie; for he hiyede, if it were possible to hym, that he schulde be in the dai of Pentecost at Jerusalem.
For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 Fro Mylete he sente to Effesi, and clepide the grettest men of birthe of the chirche.
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to himself the elders of the church.
18 And whanne thei camen to hym, and weren togidir, he seide to hem, Ye witen fro the firste dai, in which Y cam in to Asie, hou with you bi eche tyme Y was,
When they had come to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,
19 seruynge to the Lord with al mekenesse, and mildnesse, and teeris, and temptaciouns, that felden to me of aspiyngis of Jewis;
serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
20 hou Y withdrowe not of profitable thingis to you, that Y telde not to you, and tauyte you opynli, and bi housis;
how I did not hold back from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly and from house to house,
21 and Y witnesside to Jewis and to hethene men penaunce in to God, and feith in to oure Lord Jhesu Crist.
testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
22 And now lo! Y am boundun in spirit, and go in to Jerusalem; and Y knowe not what thingis schulen come to me in it,
And now, look, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;
23 but that the Hooli Goost `bi alle citees witnessith to me, and seith, that boondis and tribulaciouns at Jerusalem abiden me.
except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.
24 But Y drede no thing of these, nether Y make my lijf preciousere than my silf, so that Y end my cours, and the mynysterie of the word, which Y resseyuede of the Lord Jhesu, to witnesse the gospel of the grace of God.
But I make my life an account of nothing precious to myself, so that I may finish my race, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.
25 And `now lo! Y woot, that ye schulen no more se my face, alle ye bi whiche Y passide, prechynge the kingdom of God.
"And now, look, I know that you all, among whom I went about proclaiming the kingdom, will see my face no more.
26 Wherfor Y witnesse to you this day, that Y am cleen of the blood of alle men.
Therefore I testify to you today that I am innocent of everyone's blood,
27 For Y fley not awey, that Y telde not to you al the counsel of God.
for I did not hold back from declaring to you the whole plan of God.
28 Take ye tente to you, and to al the flocke, in which the Hooli Goost hath set you bischops, to reule the chirche of God, which he purchaside with his blood.
Watch out for yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which he purchased with his own blood.
29 Y woot, that aftir my departyng, rauyschinge wolues schulen entre in to you, `and spare not the flok;
For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 and men spekinge schrewid thingis schulen rise of you silf, that thei leden awei disciplis aftir hem.
Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 For which thing wake ye, holdinge in mynde that bi thre yeer nyyt and dai Y ceesside not with teeris monestinge ech of you.
Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
32 And now Y bitake you to God and to the word of his grace, that is myyti to edifie and yyue eritage in alle that ben maad hooli.
Now I entrust you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
33 And of no man Y coueitide siluer, and gold, ether cloth, as you silf witen;
I coveted no one's silver, or gold, or clothing.
34 for to tho thingis that weren nedeful to me, and to these that ben with me, these hoondis mynystriden.
You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.
35 Alle these thingis Y schewide to you, for so it bihoueth men trauelinge to resseyue sike men, and to haue mynde of the `word of the Lord Jhesu; for he seide, It is more blesful to yyue, than to resseyue.
In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
36 And whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he knelide, and he preiede with alle hem.
When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 And greet weping of alle men was maad; and thei felden on the necke of Poul, and kissiden hym,
They all wept a lot, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,
38 and sorewiden moost in the word that he seide, for thei schulen no more se his face. And thei ledden hym to the schip.
sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
