Travay 20
1 Lè dezòd la sispann, Pòl reyini disip yo, li ba yo kèk pawòl ankourajman, li di yo orevwa, epi l' pati pou Masedwan.
And after the tumult was ceased, Paul calling to him the disciples, and exhorting them, took his leave, and set forward to go into Macedonia.
2 Li pase nan tout zòn lan, li t'ap ankouraje fidèl yo avèk anpil mesaj. Apre sa, li pati, li ale Lagrès.
And when he had gone over those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece;
3 Rive la, li ret pase twa mwa. Li tapral pran yon batiman pou peyi Siri lè l' vin konnen jwif yo t'ap pare yon pèlen tann li. Se konsa, li deside tounen pase Masedwan ankò.
Where, when he had spent three months, the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria; so he took a resolution to return through Macedonia.
4 Men non moun ki te avèk li yo: Sopatè, pitit Piris, moun lavil Bere, Aristak ak Sekoundous, tou de moun Tesalonik, Gayis, moun Dèb, Timote, Tichik ak Twofim, tou twa moun pwovens Lazi.
And there accompanied him Sopater the son of Pyrrhus, of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 Yo tout te pran devan, y' al tann nou Twoas.
These going before, stayed for us at Troas.
6 Nou menm, apre fèt Pen san ledven yo, nou anbake sou yon batiman lavil Filip. Apre senk jou, nou jwenn yo lavil Twoas. Nou rete pase tout yon senmenn la.
But we sailed from Philippi after the days of the Azymes, and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.
7 Premye jou nan senmenn lan, nou te reyini nan aswè pou n' te separe pen an ansanm. Pòl t'ap pale ak asanble a. Li te gen pou l' te pati nan denmen maten. Li te menwi, li t'ap pale toujou.
And on the first day of the week, when we were assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, being to depart on the morrow: and he continued his speech until midnight.
8 Nou te sanble nan pyès anwo kay la. Te gen anpil lanp limen ladan li.
And there were a great number of lamps in the upper chamber where we were assembled.
9 Yon jenn gason yo te rele Etich, te chita sou rebò fennèt la. Mesaj Pòl la te long. Etich kite kabicha pran l' epi l' dòmi nèt ale. Li dòmi sitèlman, li pèdi ekilib, li soti nan twazyèm etaj la li tonbe anba. Lè yo ranmase l', li te mouri frèt.
And a certain young man named Eutychus, sitting on the window, being oppressed with a deep sleep, (as Paul was long preaching, ) by occasion of his sleep fell from the third loft down, and was taken up dead.
10 Pòl desanm, li bese sou li, li pran l' nan bra l', epi li di: Nou pa bezwen pè, li pa mouri.
To whom, when Paul had gone down, he laid himself upon him, and embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his soul is in him.
11 Lè Pòl tounen moute, li kase pen an, epi l' manje. Li pale lontan avèk yo ankò jouk solèy leve. Apre sa li pati.
Then going up, and breaking bread and tasting, and having talked a long time to them, until daylight, so he departed.
12 Yo mennen jenn gason an vivan lakay li. Se te yon ankourajman pou tout moun.
And they brought the youth alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 Nou pran devan, n' al anbake sou yon batiman ki mennen nou Asòs. Se la pou Pòl te vin anbake tou. Se li menm ki te vle l' konsa, li te fè lide ale Asòs apye.
But we, going aboard the ship, sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul; for so he had appointed, himself purposing to travel by land.
14 Lè l' vin jwenn nou Asòs, nou pran l' abò a, epi n' ale Mitilèn.
And when he had met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
15 Antan nou la, nou fè vwal ankò. Nan denmen nou rive devan Chio. Apre yon jou, nou rive Samòs. Nan denmen ankò nou debake Milè.
And sailing thence, the day following we came over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos; and the day following we came to Miletus.
16 Pòl te deside pase devan Efèz san rete pou l' pa t' pèdi twòp tan nan pwovens Lazi a. Li t'ap prese, li te vle wè si l' te kapab rive Jerizalèm pou jou Lapannkòt la.
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, lest he should be stayed any time in Asia. For he hasted, if it were possible for him, to keep the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.
17 Antan li lavil Milè, Pòl voye yon mesaj lavil Efèz: li mande chèf reskonsab legliz yo pou yo vin jwenn li.
And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church.
18 Lè yo rive, li di yo: Nou konnen ki jan mwen te mennen bak mwen tout tan mwen te la avèk nou, depi premye jou mwen te mete pye m' nan Lazi.
And when they were come to him, and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time,
19 Mwen sèvi Seyè a san okenn pretansyon, avèk dlo nan je, nan mitan tout move pa mwen jwenn poutèt tout konplo jwif yo.
Serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and temptations which befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews;
20 Nou konnen mwen pa janm kache nou anyen ki ta ka sèvi nou, mwen te fè nou konnen tout bagay, mwen te moutre nou tout bagay, kit an piblik kit lakay nou.
How I have kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and taught you publicly, and from house to house,
21 Mwen avèti tout moun, jwif kou moun lòt nasyon yo, pou yo chanje lavi yo, tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pou yo mete konfyans yo nan Seyè Jezi.
Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 Koulye a mwen pral Jerizalèm. Se Sentespri k'ap pouse m' ale. Mwen pa konnen sak pral rive m' la a.
And now, behold, being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem: not knowing the things which shall befall me there:
23 Yon sèl bagay moun konnen: nan chak lavil kote m' pase, Sentespri avèti m' prizon ak anpil soufrans ap tann mwen.
Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem.
24 Mwen pa pran lavi m' pou anyen, li pa gen okenn valè pou mwen. Men, mwen vle ale jouk nan bout nan sèvis mwen, mwen vle fini nèt ak travay Seyè Jezi ban mwen an, pou m' anonse bon nouvèl favè Bondye fè nou an.
But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 Mwen pase kèk tan nan mitan nou ap anonse Gouvènman Bondye ki wa a. Men, koulye a, mwen konnen nou yonn p'ap janm wè m' ankò.
And now behold, I know that all you, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Se poutèt sa m'ap di nou jòdi a: si yonn nan nou peri, mwen pa reskonsab.
Wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men;
27 Mwen fè nou konnen tout plan travay Bondye a san m' pa kache nou anyen.
For I have not spared to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Veye kò nou, veye sou tout bann mouton Sentespri a mete sou kont nou. Okipe legliz Bondye a, legliz li te achte ak pwòp san Pitit li a.
Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 Mwen konnen tou, apre m' fin ale, gen moun k'ap vin nan mitan nou pou kraze legliz la, tankou chen mawon nan yon bann mouton.
I know that, after my departure, ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Gen moun k'ap soti nan mitan nou menm menm, k'ap kanpe pou bay manti, pou chache rale kèk disip dèyè yo.
And of your own selves shall arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Se poutèt sa, mwen di nou: fè atansyon anpil. Toujou chonje ki jan, pandan twazan, lajounen kou lannwit, mwen pa janm sispann avèti nou tout, ak dlo nan je mwen.
Therefore watch, keeping in memory, that for three years I ceased not, with tears to admonish every one of you night and day.
32 Koulye a m'ap renmèt nou nan men Bondye avèk mesaj favè li a. Se li menm ki ka fòtifye nou, ki ka ban nou tout bon bagay li sere pou tout moun ki pote non li.
And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up, and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified.
33 Mwen pa janm pote lanvi pou lajan pesonn, ni pou lò ni pou rad okenn moun.
I have not coveted any man’s silver, gold, or apparel, as
34 Nou menm, nou konnen ki jan mwen travay ak men m' pou m' te ka jwenn tou sa mwen menm ansanm ak kanmarad mwen yo nou te bezwen.
You yourselves know: for such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.
35 Mwen moutre nou ki jan pou n' travay di nan tou sa n'ap fè pou n' ka ede pi fèb yo, pou nou toujou chonje pawòl Seyè a ki te di ak pwòp bouch li: Gen plis benediksyon pou moun k'ap bay pase pou moun k'ap resevwa.
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.
36 Lè li fin pale konsa, Pòl mete ajenou ansanm ak yo tout, epi li lapriyè.
And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with them all.
37 Yo tout t'ap kriye, yo pran Pòl nan bra yo, yo bo l', yo di li: Bondye avèk ou!
And there was much weeping among them all; and falling on the neck of Paul, they kissed him,
38 Sa ki te fè yo plis lapenn, se lè li di yo p'ap janm wè l' ankò. Apre sa, yo kondi l' mennen jouk sou batiman an.
Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship.
