Jesu Tondiba Tuona 20
1 Ku fuugu po ń pendi, Pɔli ń sɔni ki yini bi ŋɔdkaaba, ki paani bi pala, ki ji cabi ba, ki fii ki gedi Maseduani.
When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples. And after encouraging them, he said goodbye to them and left for Macedonia.
2 Wan pendi li diema nni, o den maadi n yabi, ki paani bi pala, ke o cua Gresi.
After traveling through that area and speaking many words of encouragement, he arrived in Greece,
3 Wan tieni li dogu nni ŋmaali taa, Juufinba ń tidi loli ki sedi o po yeni i janbi, lan sua ke o bua kua ku ñinbiagu ki gedi Siri, wan jagi, ki guani ki lebdi Maseduani.
where he stayed three months. And when the Jews formed a plot against him as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia.
4 Yaaba n den ba ciani o Asi po n tie, Sopateri, Piirusi bijua, ke o ñani Bere; Aristarki yeni Sekɔndi, ke bikuli ñani Tesaloniki ki tie dugikaaba; Gaayusi, ke o ñani Derbi, Timote, Ticiki yeni Trofimi, ke bi tie Asi yaaba.
Paul was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.
5 Ama lanya niba den ga ti liiga ki ba guudi ti Trowa.
These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.
6 Ya kpanu n ki pia dibinli daana ń pendi, ke Ti kua ku ñinbiagu Filipi, ki tieni dana mu, ki pundi bi kani Trowa, ki kali likani dana lele.
And after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, we sailed from Philippi, and five days later we rejoined them in Troas, where we stayed seven days.
7 Laadi daacincinli daali, tin taanni ki bua ŋmiidi kpanu, Pɔli ń maadi yeni bi dugikaaba. O den bobni ki bua li ya fiifandi, wan fii i, lanwani ii, o den maadi ke ku yɔgsiigu ti yɔgdi.
On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight.
8 Mu fidsanmu den yabi poli dieli nni, tin den taani naana.
Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.
9 O naaciemo den kaa li takobonli kani ke bi yi o Etikusi, mi guama den paadi o. Nani Pɔli ń den maadi boncianli yeni ii, li naaciemo mi guama ń paadi li naaciemo, wan lagdi li dietuaditaali po ki baa ki kpe
And a certain young man named Eutychus, seated in the window, was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell from the third story and was picked up dead.
10 Ama Pɔli ń jiidi, ki duani ki labni o po, ki wobi o. K yedi, “Da wadi mani i pala ka, kelima o fo.”
But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”
11 Wan guani ki do, ki ŋmiidi kpanu, ki ŋmani. Wan maadi yeni ba ki pugni hali i siŋafaani, wan cabi ki fii.
Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.
12 Ban guani yeni o naaciemo ke o fuo, lan sɔngi bi pala.
And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.
13 Tinba wani den kua ku ñinbiagu, ki ga Pɔli liiga, ki gedi Aso, tin den ba guudi naani ki taa Pɔli ku ñinbiagu nni. Wani mɔno den bua yeni i, kelima, o dá den jagi ke wan tɔgni u sanu i.
We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take Paul aboard. He had arranged this because he was going there on foot.
14 Wan cendi ti Aso yeni, ke ti kuani o ku ñinbiagu ki gedi Mitileni.
And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.
15 Tin fii lankani, ti tieni dayenli i, ki pundi Cihiyo kpendegli kani, li daalieli ke ti pundi Smo kpendegli, li daataali daali, tin pundi Mileti dogu nni.
Sailing on from there, we arrived the next day opposite Chios. The day after that we arrived at Samos, and on the following day we came to Miletus.
16 Nani Pɔli ń den jagi ke wan tɔgni Efesa po, o den ki bua wan biani mi yaama Asi diema nni, kelima o den peli ki bua o ya ba fidi, wan pundi Jrusalema pantekoti daali i.
Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, because he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.
17 Wan pundi Mileti, Wan sɔni bi niba Efesa, ban yini o po Kiristi nitaanli nikpelba.
From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.
18 Ban pundi o kani, wan maadi ba, “Yinba mɔno bani ibá ke hali min ŋmaa n taali Asi ne, min ye maama yeni yi yognu kuli.
When they came to him, he said, “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.
19 N li ŋua ki tuuni U Tienu tuonli yeni li pali nni yumiinli, yeni ti ninsiidi yeni Juufinba ń loli ki sedi n po yeni ya janbi kuli.
I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, especially in the trials that came upon me through the plots of the Jews.
20 Yinba mɔno bani ke mii dɔgni yi libakuli ke li nua yaali n tie bonmɔnli i po, yeni min tundi yi maama asala siiga, ki go caa i dansani nni maama.
I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,
21 I bani min tuodi ki waani Juufinba yeni gilekinba ke ban biidi bi pala bi tuonbiadi po, ki lebdi bi yama ki ŋɔdi U Tienu, ki dugi ti Diedo Jesu po.
testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 Mɔlane, Foŋanma tigi nni, ki caa yeni nni Jerusalema, n naa bani yaali n ba tieni nni lanpo,
And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
23 Ama Foŋanma tuodi ki waani nni ke i kudseseli yeni falaciamu guu nni.
I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.
24 Ama mii tama ke n miali tie bonmɔnli n po, ki ba pani nni min dudi n nɔnma banlu yaali n pia n po mayuli po, lani n tie ke min sɔni O Diedo ń puogi nni ya tuonli, ki tieni kasiedi U Tienu ŋanbli laabaalŋamo po.
But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
25 Diidi mani mɔlane, n bani ke yinba yaaba ya siiga ke n kpaandi ki waani U Tienu diema laabaali ne, i kan la n nunga jiga.
Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.
26 Kelima n kadi ki maadi yi i mɔni dinne, ke mii pia tagliba kuli ke li nua nisaaloba kuli sɔma.
Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
27 Kelima, min waani yi U Tienu yanbuama, mii dɔgni yi libakuli.
For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole will of God.
28 Lanwani ii, yin fangi i yula ki cegni ibá, ki guudi U Tienu Foŋanma ń guuni ya yankulu ke yin ya tie yankpaaba/ gobdikaaba. Yin ya faami, yin gobdi ya yognu U Tienu nitaanli, wan baa yaaba ki taani o kani yeni o sɔcema.
Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood.
29 N bani ke n ya fii, ki siedi ki ŋa yi, yaaba n tie nani i fuasangbanbiadi yeni ba kua i siiga, ki kan taa ki cabi u yankulu.
I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
30 N bani ke bi niba ba kua i siiga, ki bɔndi yi yeni bi nufantunda ke yin tua ŋɔdkaaba.
Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.
31 Lanwani ii, yin sedi taajalalie, ki guudi. Yin ya tiani ke bina taa n yeni, ke n tundi yi yienu yeni ñiagu kaa cedi.
Therefore be alert and remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
32 Mɔlane, n mubni yi U Tienu yeni o ŋanbli ñɔmaama nui nni, yaama n ba fidi ki cedi yin paagi ki cie, ki go baa u biinu wan bili ya ŋalmani o nigagdiŋanba po.
And now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.
33 N naa kuani n yama niloba kuli ligi bii o wula lanyaaka o tialakaadi nni.
I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.
34 Yinba mɔno bani ke n ya nui ne kuani n yuli po buama yeni yaaba n ye yeni nni ya buama i.
You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions.
35 Lan tie yaali kuli, n tieni nannanli ki waani yi yin ba todi a tadma maama yeni i tuona, yeni yin baa tiani O Diedo Jesu ń yedi ya maama, wan yaadi kiyedi yaama obá: «Mi yedŋanma ye ŋan teni po ki cie ŋan ga.»
In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
36 Wan maadi yeni, ki gbeni i, ke o gbaani ki jaandi yeni bikuli.
When Paul had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.
37 Bikuli den buudi boncianla, ki cuo Pɔli tulu nni ki wobi o.
They all wept openly as they embraced Paul and kissed him.
38 Bikuli den ye yeni li pabɔnli kelima ban den gbadi ke o maadi ke bi kan ji guani ki la o nunga, lani ń pendi i, ke bi ciani o ku ñibiagu kani.
They were especially grieved by his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
