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.
Now, after the tumult was ceased, Paul, calling the disciples to him: and embracing them, departed 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 going through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, 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.
And when he had continued there three months, as an ambush was laid for him by the Jews, when he was about to embark for Syria, he thought it advisable to return by 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 Sopater, the Berean, accompanied him as far as Asia; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius, of Derbe, and Timothy: and of the Asiatics, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 Yo tout te pran devan, y' al tann nou Twoas.
These, going before, staid 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.
And we set sail from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we continued 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 the disciples met together to break bread, Paul, being about to depart on the morrow, discoursed to them, and continued his speech until midnight.
8 Nou te sanble nan pyès anwo kay la. Te gen anpil lanp limen ladan li.
And there were many lamps in the upper room, in which 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, whose name was Eutychus, sitting in a window, fell into a profound sleep: and as Paul continued his discourse a long time, he was so overpowered with sleep that he fell down from the third story, 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.
And Paul went down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Do not make any disturbance, for his life 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.
And going up again, and having broken bread, and eaten, he conversed a considerable time, even till break of day, and so 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 went before into the ship, and sailed to Assos, where we are to take up Paul, for so he had appointed, choosing himself to go on foot.
14 Lè l' vin jwenn nou Asòs, nou pran l' abò a, epi n' ale Mitilèn.
And as soon as he joined 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, we came the next day over against Chios; and the day following, we touched at Samos, and having staid at Trogyllium, we came the day after 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, that he might not spend any time in Asia; for he earnestly endeavored, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 Antan li lavil Milè, Pòl voye yon mesaj lavil Efèz: li mande chèf reskonsab legliz yo pou yo vin jwenn li.
But, sending to Ephesus, from Miletus, he called thither the elders of the congregation.
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, he said to them, You know how I have been conversant among you all the time, from the first day in which I entered into Asia,
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 trials which befell me by the ambushes 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.
and how I have suppressed nothing that was advantageous, not neglecting to announce to you, and to teach you publicly and privately;
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 the Jews and Greeks, reformation with respect to God, and faith with respect to 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, I am going to Jerusalem, bound by the Spirit, not knowing the things that 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.
except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.
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 make no account of any of these things, nor do I regard even life itself; so that I may but joyfully finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, even to testify the good news of the favor 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 you all, with whom I have conversed, proclaiming the kingdom of God, shall not see my face any more.
26 Se poutèt sa m'ap di nou jòdi a: si yonn nan nou peri, mwen pa reskonsab.
Wherefore, I testify to you 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 declined to declare to 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.
Therefore, take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock over which the Holy Spirit has constituted you overseers; to feed the congregation of the Lord, which he has redeemed 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.
For I know this, that after my departure, grievous wolves will enter in among you, having no mercy on 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.
Yes, from among your own selves men shall arise, 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.
Watch, therefore, remembering that for the space of three years, I ceased not to warn every one, night and day, with tears.
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, brethren, I recommend you to God, and to the word of his favor, who is able to edify you, and to give you an inheritance among all that are sanctified.
33 Mwen pa janm pote lanvi pou lajan pesonn, ni pou lò ni pou rad okenn moun.
I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
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.
Yes, you yourselves know, that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those that were with me.
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 showed you all things; how, that thus laboring, you ought to assist the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is much happier to give than to receive.
36 Lè li fin pale konsa, Pòl mete ajenou ansanm ak yo tout, epi li lapriyè.
And having said these things, he kneeled down and 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 great lamentation among them all: and falling upon Paul's neck, 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.
especially grieving for that word which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they conducted him to the ship.
