Dɔwɔwɔwo 20
1 Le nu siawo katã megbe la, Paulo yɔ nusrɔ̃lawo eye wògagblɔ nya na wo hede dzi ƒo na wo. Emegbe la, eklã wo hedzo ɖo ta Makedonia.
And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called to him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
2 Le du sia du si me wòɖo le mɔa dzi me la, eƒoa nu hexlɔ̃a nu xɔsetɔ siwo le afi ma va se ɖe esi wòɖo Griki.
And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
3 Paulo nɔ Helanyigba dzi ɣleti etɔ̃, eye esi wònɔ dzadzram ɖo be yeayi Siria la, ese be Yudatɔwo nɔ ɖoɖo wɔm be yewoawui. Le esia ta la, eɖoe be yeagatrɔ aɖo ta Makedonia boŋ.
And there stayed three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
4 Ame geɖewo kplɔ Paulo ɖo ɖa va se ɖe keke Terki. Wo dometɔ aɖewoe nye Sopata si nye Piro ƒe vi tso Berea, Aristako kple Sekundo siwo tso Tesalonika, Gayo tso Derbe, Timoteo, Tikiko kple Trofimo, ame siwo tso Asia nuto me.
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.
5 Ame siawo katã do ŋgɔ na mí, eye wonɔ mía lalam le Troa.
These going before tarried for us at Troas.
6 Esime míeɖu Amɔ Maʋamaʋã Ŋkeke la vɔ ko la, míeɖo tɔdziʋu le Filipi, eye le ŋkeke atɔ̃ megbe la, míeva ɖo Troa si hã le Terki. Míenɔ afi ma kɔsiɖa ɖeka.
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas in five days; where we stayed seven days.
7 Le kɔsiɖa ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, míeƒo ƒu be míaxɔ Aƒetɔ ƒe Nuɖuɖu Kɔkɔe la. Pauloe gblɔ nya gbe ma gbe. Esi wònye gbe ma gbee nye Paulo ƒe ŋkeke mamlɛtɔ le afi ma ta la, enɔ nu ƒom ʋuu va se ɖe zãtitina ke.
And on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached to them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
8 Wosi akaɖiwo ɖe afi si míenɔ le dziƒoxɔa dzi.
And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
9 Esi Paulo nɔ nu ƒom alea la, ɖekakpui aɖe si woyɔna be Eutiko la nɔ akɔlɔ̃e dɔm le fesre ɖeka nu. Kasia, Eutiko ge tso fesrea nu le dziƒoxɔ etɔ̃lia dzi ke va dze anyigba kpla, eye wòku enumake.
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 loft, and was taken up dead.
10 Nu si dzɔ la metso dzika ƒo na Paulo kura o, ke boŋ eɖi ɖe anyigba, kɔ ɖekakpui la ɖe eƒe abɔwo me, eye wògblɔ na ameha la be, “Migawɔ ʋunyaʋunya o, naneke medzɔ ɖe edzi o. Egale agbe.”
And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
11 Wo katã wogatrɔ yi dziƒoxɔ la dzi, eye woɖu Aƒetɔ ƒe Nuɖuɖu Kɔkɔe la. Le esia megbe la, Paulo gayi eƒe nuƒoa dzi ʋuu va se ɖe fɔŋli hafi wòdzo le wo gbɔ.
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.
12 Le nyateƒe me la, ɖekakpui la gagbɔ agbe, esia na be ameha la kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ.
And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 Paulo to afɔ yi Aso, ke míawo míeɖo tɔdziʋu hedze ŋgɔ nɛ.
And we went before to ship, and sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
14 Eva tu mí le Aso, eye mí katã míeɖo ʋu yi Mitilene.
And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
15 Tso afi ma la, míeva to Kios ŋu, va to Samo, eye mlɔeba la, míeva ɖo Mileto esi ŋu ke.
And we sailed there, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
16 Paulo megadi be yeatɔ ɖe Efeso azɔ o, be yemagblẽ ɣeyiɣi le Asia o. Ke edi be ne yeate ŋui la, yeaɖo Yerusalem kaba, aɖu Pentekoste ŋkeke la le afi ma.
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hurried, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17 Esi míeɖi go ɖe Mileto la, Paulo ɖo ame ɖe Efeso hamemegãwo be woava do go ye le tɔdziʋu la me.
And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
18 Esi wova ɖo la, egblɔ na wo be, “Mienya ale si menɔ mia dome tso ŋkeke gbãtɔ si meva Asia nuto me va se ɖe fifia.
And when they were come to him, he said to them, You know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
19 Mesubɔ Aƒetɔ la le ɖokuibɔbɔ kple aɖatsi me togbɔ be Yudatɔwo tem kpɔ to woƒe nugbeɖoɖowo ɖe ŋunye me hã.”
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:
20 Gake hã la, nyemadzudzɔ nyateƒe la gbɔgblɔ na mi le dutoƒo loo alo le miaƒe aƒewo me kpɔ o.
And how I kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
21 Nya ɖeka ma ke ko megblɔ na Yudatɔwo kple Grikitɔwo siaa be ehiã be woatrɔ ɖe Mawu ŋu to Yesu Kristo dzixɔse me.
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 “Fifia la, Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la kplɔm yina Yerusalem, togbɔ be nyemenya nu si le lalayem le afi ma o hã.
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23 Nu si ko Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la gblɔ nam le du sia du mee nye be fukpekpe kple gamenɔnɔ nye nu siwo wòle be makpɔ mɔ na.
Save that the Holy Ghost witnesses in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24 Ke viɖe aɖeke mele nye agbe ŋu o, negbe ɖeko mewɔ eŋuti dɔ tsɔ wɔ dɔ si Aƒetɔ Yesu de asi nam la. Dɔ lae nye be magblɔ nyanyui la na amewo le Mawu ƒe amenuveve gã ŋuti.
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to 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.
25 “Azɔ menyae nyuie be mi ame siwo katã dome menɔ wɔ dɔ, heɖe gbeƒã mawufiaɖuƒe la la, dometɔ aɖeke megale kpɔ nye ge akpɔ o.
And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Medi be magblɔ na mi kɔtɛe be womele ame aɖeke ƒe ʋu bia ge tso asinye o,
Why I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 elabena nyemeɣla mawunya la ƒe akpa aɖeke ɖe mi o.
For I have not shunned to declare to you all the counsel of God.
28 Azɔ la, mikpɔ mia ɖokui dzi nyuie, eye mikpɔ egbɔ be, mienyi Mawu ƒe alẽha si nye hame si wòtsɔ eya ŋutɔ ƒe ʋu ƒle, esi Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ɖo mi be mianye hadzikpɔlawo.
Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.
29 Menya nyuie be ne medzo la, aʋatsonufiala aɖewo ava ɖo mia dome abe amegaxi wɔadãwo ene, eye woadze agbagba be yewoagblẽ nu le alẽha si nye hamea la ŋu.
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Mia dometɔ aɖewo hã ate kpɔ atrɔ nyateƒe la bubue be amewo nadze yewo yome.
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Eya ta minɔ ŋudzɔ! Miɖo ŋku ƒe etɔ̃ siwo menɔ mia dome la dzi. Miɖo ŋku ale si mekpɔa mia dzi zã kple keli kple ale si mexlɔ̃a nu mi kple aɖatsi zi geɖe la dzi.
Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 “Azɔ metsɔ mi de asi na Mawu, eya ame si ƒe amenuvevenya ana be miaƒe xɔse nali ke, be wòakpɔ mia ta, eye wòakpɔ gome le ame tiatiawo katã ƒe domenyinu la me.
And now, brothers, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33 Nyemebiã ŋu ɖe ame aɖeke ƒe klosalo alo sika alo awu ŋu o.
I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Miawo ŋutɔ mienya ale si metsɔ nye asi wɔ dɔ hedi nye ŋutɔ kple nye kpeɖeŋutɔwo ƒe nuhiahiãwoe.
Yes, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 Zi geɖe la, mefia ale si miakpe ɖe ame dahewo ŋuti la mi, elabena meɖo ŋku nya si míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu gblɔ dzi be, ‘Nunana hea yayra vɛ wu nuxɔxɔ.’”
I have showed you all things, how that so laboring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 Esi Paulo wu eƒe nuƒoa nu la, edze klo hedo gbe ɖa kpli wo.
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
37 Le esia megbe la, wokpla asi kɔ nɛ hedo hedenyuie nɛ kple avi,
And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,
38 vevietɔ le esime wògblɔ na wo be womegale ye kpɔ ge akpɔ o la ta. Ale wokplɔe ɖo ɖa va se ɖe tɔdziʋu la me ke.
Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
