Πραξεις 20

1 μετα δε το παυσασθαι τον θορυβον μεταπεμψαμενος ο παυλος τους μαθητας και παρακαλεσας ασπασαμενος εξηλθεν πορευεσθαι εις μακεδονιαν

And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called near the disciples, and having embraced [them], went forth to go on to Macedonia;

2 διελθων δε τα μερη εκεινα και παρακαλεσας αυτους λογω πολλω ηλθεν εις την ελλαδα

and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came to Greece;

3 ποιησας τε μηνας τρεις γενομενης επιβουλης αυτω υπο των ιουδαιων μελλοντι αναγεσθαι εις την συριαν εγενετο γνωμης του υποστρεφειν δια μακεδονιας

and having continued three months—a counsel of the Jews having been against him—being about to set forth to Syria, there came [to him] a resolution of returning through Macedonia.

4 συνειπετο δε αυτω σωπατρος πυρρου βεροιαιος θεσσαλονικεων δε αρισταρχος και σεκουνδος και γαιος δερβαιος και τιμοθεος ασιανοι δε τυχικος και τροφιμος

And there were accompanying him to Asia, Sopater of Pyrrhus from Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asians Tychicus and Trophimus;

5 ουτοι δε {VAR1: προσελθοντες } {VAR2: προελθοντες } εμενον ημας εν τρωαδι

these, having gone before, remained for us in Troas,

6 ημεις δε εξεπλευσαμεν μετα τας ημερας των αζυμων απο φιλιππων και ηλθομεν προς αυτους εις την τρωαδα αχρις ημερων πεντε {VAR1: ου } {VAR2: οπου } διετριψαμεν ημερας επτα

and we sailed, after the days of the Unleavened [Bread], from Philippi, and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abided seven days.

7 εν δε τη μια των σαββατων συνηγμενων ημων κλασαι αρτον ο παυλος διελεγετο αυτοις μελλων εξιεναι τη επαυριον παρετεινεν τε τον λογον μεχρι μεσονυκτιου

And on the first [day] of the weeks, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the next day, he was also continuing the discourse until midnight,

8 ησαν δε λαμπαδες ικαναι εν τω υπερωω ου ημεν συνηγμενοι

and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together,

9 καθεζομενος δε τις νεανιας ονοματι ευτυχος επι της θυριδος καταφερομενος υπνω βαθει διαλεγομενου του παυλου επι πλειον κατενεχθεις απο του υπνου επεσεν απο του τριστεγου κατω και ηρθη νεκρος

and there a certain youth was sitting, by name Eutychus, on the window—being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long—he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up dead.

10 καταβας δε ο παυλος επεπεσεν αυτω και συμπεριλαβων ειπεν μη θορυβεισθε η γαρ ψυχη αυτου εν αυτω εστιν

And Paul, having gone down, fell on him, and having embraced [him], said, “Make no tumult, for his life is in him”;

11 αναβας δε {VAR1: [και] } {VAR2: και } κλασας τον αρτον και γευσαμενος εφ ικανον τε ομιλησας αχρις αυγης ουτως εξηλθεν

and having come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked—until daylight, so he went forth,

12 ηγαγον δε τον παιδα ζωντα και παρεκληθησαν ου μετριως

and they brought up the boy alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.

13 ημεις δε προελθοντες επι το πλοιον ανηχθημεν επι την ασσον εκειθεν μελλοντες αναλαμβανειν τον παυλον ουτως γαρ διατεταγμενος ην μελλων αυτος πεζευειν

And we having gone before to the ship, sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;

14 ως δε συνεβαλλεν ημιν εις την ασσον αναλαβοντες αυτον ηλθομεν εις μιτυληνην

and when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene,

15 κακειθεν αποπλευσαντες τη επιουση κατηντησαμεν αντικρυς χιου τη δε ετερα παρεβαλομεν εις σαμον τη δε εχομενη ηλθομεν εις μιλητον

and there having sailed, on the next day we came opposite Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus,

16 κεκρικει γαρ ο παυλος παραπλευσαι την εφεσον οπως μη γενηται αυτω χρονοτριβησαι εν τη ασια εσπευδεν γαρ ει δυνατον ειη αυτω την ημεραν της πεντηκοστης γενεσθαι εις ιεροσολυμα

for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he was hurrying, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of the Pentecost.

17 απο δε της μιλητου πεμψας εις εφεσον μετεκαλεσατο τους πρεσβυτερους της εκκλησιας

And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

18 ως δε παρεγενοντο προς αυτον ειπεν αυτοις υμεις επιστασθε απο πρωτης ημερας αφ ης επεβην εις την ασιαν πως μεθ υμων τον παντα χρονον εγενομην

and when they were come to him, he said to them, “You know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how I was with you at all times;

19 δουλευων τω κυριω μετα πασης ταπεινοφροσυνης και δακρυων και πειρασμων των συμβαντων μοι εν ταις επιβουλαις των ιουδαιων

serving the LORD with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against [me];

20 ως ουδεν υπεστειλαμην των συμφεροντων του μη αναγγειλαι υμιν και διδαξαι υμας δημοσια και κατ οικους

how I kept back nothing of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house,

21 διαμαρτυρομενος ιουδαιοις τε και ελλησιν την εις θεον μετανοιαν και πιστιν εις τον κυριον ημων ιησουν

testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, conversion toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 και νυν ιδου δεδεμενος εγω τω πνευματι πορευομαι εις ιερουσαλημ τα εν αυτη συναντησοντα {VAR1: εμοι } {VAR2: μοι } μη ειδως

And now, behold, I—bound in the Spirit—go on to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will befall me in it,

23 πλην οτι το πνευμα το αγιον κατα πολιν διαμαρτυρεται μοι λεγον οτι δεσμα και θλιψεις με μενουσιν

except that the Holy Spirit fully testifies in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations remain for me;

24 αλλ ουδενος λογου ποιουμαι την ψυχην τιμιαν εμαυτω ως {VAR1: τελειωσω } {VAR2: τελειωσαι } τον δρομον μου και την διακονιαν ην ελαβον παρα του κυριου ιησου διαμαρτυρασθαι το ευαγγελιον της χαριτος του θεου

but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify [to] the good news of the grace of God.

25 και νυν ιδου εγω οιδα οτι ουκετι οψεσθε το προσωπον μου υμεις παντες εν οις διηλθον κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν

And now, behold, I have known that you will no longer see my face, among all you [to] whom I went preaching the Kingdom of God;

26 διοτι μαρτυρομαι υμιν εν τη σημερον ημερα οτι καθαρος ειμι απο του αιματος παντων

for this reason I take you to witness this day, that I [am] clear from the blood of all,

27 ου γαρ υπεστειλαμην του μη αναγγειλαι πασαν την βουλην του θεου υμιν

for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.

28 προσεχετε εαυτοις και παντι τω ποιμνιω εν ω υμας το πνευμα το αγιον εθετο επισκοπους ποιμαινειν την εκκλησιαν του θεου ην περιεποιησατο δια του αιματος του ιδιου

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the Assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,

29 εγω οιδα οτι εισελευσονται μετα την αφιξιν μου λυκοι βαρεις εις υμας μη φειδομενοι του ποιμνιου

for I have known this, that there will enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves to you, not sparing the flock,

30 και εξ υμων {VAR1: [αυτων] } {VAR2: αυτων } αναστησονται ανδρες λαλουντες διεστραμμενα του αποσπαν τους μαθητας οπισω {VAR1: εαυτων } {VAR2: αυτων }

and there will arise men of your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

31 διο γρηγορειτε μνημονευοντες οτι τριετιαν νυκτα και ημεραν ουκ επαυσαμην μετα δακρυων νουθετων ενα εκαστον

Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

32 και τα νυν παρατιθεμαι υμας τω {VAR1: κυριω } {VAR2: θεω } και τω λογω της χαριτος αυτου τω δυναμενω οικοδομησαι και δουναι την κληρονομιαν εν τοις ηγιασμενοις πασιν

and now, I commend you, brothers, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified.

33 αργυριου η χρυσιου η ιματισμου ουδενος επεθυμησα

I coveted the silver or gold or clothing of no one;

34 αυτοι γινωσκετε οτι ταις χρειαις μου και τοις ουσιν μετ εμου υπηρετησαν αι χειρες αυται

and you yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, these hands ministered;

35 παντα υπεδειξα υμιν οτι ουτως κοπιωντας δει αντιλαμβανεσθαι των ασθενουντων μνημονευειν τε των λογων του κυριου ιησου οτι αυτος ειπεν μακαριον εστιν μαλλον διδοναι η λαμβανειν

I showed you all things, that, thus laboring, it is necessary to partake with the ailing, to also be mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said: It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

36 και ταυτα ειπων θεις τα γονατα αυτου συν πασιν αυτοις προσηυξατο

And having said these things, having bowed his knees, with them all, he prayed,

37 ικανος δε κλαυθμος εγενετο παντων και επιπεσοντες επι τον τραχηλον του παυλου κατεφιλουν αυτον

and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen on the neck of Paul, they were kissing him,

38 οδυνωμενοι μαλιστα επι τω λογω ω ειρηκει οτι ουκετι μελλουσιν το προσωπον αυτου θεωρειν προεπεμπον δε αυτον εις το πλοιον

sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said—that they are about to see his face no longer; and they were accompanying him to the ship.
