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.
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 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.
When he had gone through those parts, and had encouraged them with many words, 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.
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 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.
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 Ame siawo katã do ŋgɔ na mí, eye wonɔ mía lalam le Troa.
But these had gone ahead, and were waiting 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.
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 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.
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 Wosi akaɖiwo ɖe afi si míenɔ le dziƒoxɔa dzi.
There were many lights in the upper chamber where we 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.
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 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.”
Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Do not be troubled, 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 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 Le nyateƒe me la, ɖekakpui la gagbɔ agbe, esia na be ameha la kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ.
They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.
13 Paulo to afɔ yi Aso, ke míawo míeɖo tɔdziʋu hedze ŋgɔ nɛ.
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 Eva tu mí le Aso, eye mí katã míeɖo ʋu yi Mitilene.
When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard, 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.
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 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 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 Esi míeɖi go ɖe Mileto la, Paulo ɖo ame ɖe Efeso hamemegãwo be woava do go ye le tɔdziʋu la me.
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to himself 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.
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 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, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
20 Gake hã la, nyemadzudzɔ nyateƒe la gbɔgblɔ na mi le dutoƒo loo alo le miaƒe aƒewo me kpɔ o.
how I did not hold back from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching 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 Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
22 “Fifia la, Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la kplɔm yina Yerusalem, togbɔ be nyemenya nu si le lalayem le afi ma o hã.
And now, look, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to 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.
except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for 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 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 “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, look, I know that you all, among whom I went about proclaiming the Kingdom, will see my face no more.
26 Medi be magblɔ na mi kɔtɛe be womele ame aɖeke ƒe ʋu bia ge tso asinye o,
Therefore I testify to you today that I am innocent of everyone's blood,
27 elabena nyemeɣla mawunya la ƒe akpa aɖeke ɖe mi o.
for I did not hold back from declaring to you the whole plan 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.
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 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 that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Mia dometɔ aɖewo hã ate kpɔ atrɔ nyateƒe la bubue be amewo nadze yewo yome.
Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the 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, remembering that for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish everyone 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.
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 Nyemebiã ŋu ɖe ame aɖeke ƒe klosalo alo sika alo awu ŋu o.
I coveted no one's silver, or gold, or clothing.
34 Miawo ŋutɔ mienya ale si metsɔ nye asi wɔ dɔ hedi nye ŋutɔ kple nye kpeɖeŋutɔwo ƒe nuhiahiãwoe.
You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who 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.’”
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 Esi Paulo wu eƒe nuƒoa nu la, edze klo hedo gbe ɖa kpli wo.
When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 Le esia megbe la, wokpla asi kɔ nɛ hedo hedenyuie nɛ kple avi,
They all wept a lot, 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 because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
