Travay 20
1 Aprè tapaj la te fin sispann, Paul te voye pou disip yo. Lè l fin ekzòte yo, li te pran konje de yo, e li te sòti pou ale Macédoine.
But, after the tumult had ceased, Paul, sending for the disciples and exhorting them, took leave, and went forth to be journeying unto Macedonia.
2 Lè l te fin travèse tout distri sila yo e te bay yo anpil ekzòtasyon, li te rive nan peyi Grèce.
Passing through those parts, however, and exhorting them with much discourse, he came into Greece;
3 Li te pase twa mwa la, epi lè Jwif yo te fè yon konplo kont li, pandan li t ap pral pran bato a vwal pou Syrie a, li te fè desizyon pou retounen pa Macédoine.
and, spending three months, when a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he was about to sail to Syria, he determined to turn back through Macedonia.
4 Li te akonpanye pa Sopater de Bérée, fis a Pyrrhus la, anplis Aristarque ak Second, de Théssalonique, ak Gaius de Derbe ak Timothée ak Tychique ak Trophime ki sòti an Asie.
Now there were accompanying him, Sopater, son of Pyrrhus a Beroean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy; and, of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 Men sila yo te ale avan, e t ap tann nou Troas.
And, these, came and were waiting for us at Troas.
6 Nou te pran bato a vwal soti Philippes, apre jou a Pen San Ledven yo. Nou te vin jwenn yo Troas nan senk jou, e te rete la pandan sèt jou.
And, we, sailed forth, after the days of unleavened bread, from Philippi, and came unto them in Troas in five days, where we tarried seven days.
7 Nan premye jou nan semèn nan, lè nou te rasanble ansanm pou kase pen, Paul te kòmanse pale avèk yo. Li te gen entansyon pati nan pwochen jou a, e li te pwolonje mesaj li a jiska minwi.
And, on the first of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul went on to discourse with them, being about to depart on the morrow; and he prolonged his discourse until midnight.
8 Te gen anpil lanp nan chanm anlè kote nou te reyini ansanm nan.
Now there were a good many torches in the upper room, where we were gathered together.
9 Alò, te gen yon sèten jennonm ke yo te rele Eutychus, ki te chita nan rebò fenèt la, k t ap tonbe nan yon pwofon somèy. Pandan Paul te kontinye ap pale, dòmi te vin pran l, e li te tonbe soti nan twazyèm etaj la, e yo te vin ranmase l mouri.
And there sat, a certain young man by name Eutychus, in the window, who was getting overpowered by a deep sleep; and, while Paul was discoursing yet further, being overpowered by his sleep, he fell, from the third story, down, and was taken up dead.
10 Men Paul te desann e te tonbe sou li, epi apre li fin anbrase l, li te di: “Pa twouble, paske lavi li nan li.”
Going down, however, Paul fell upon him, and, embracing him, said—Be not making confusion; for, his soul, is, in him.
11 Lè Paul te fin remonte e te fin kase pen pou manje, li te pale avèk yo pandan anpil tan jis rive nan granmmaten, e answit te pati.
And, going up, and breaking the loaf, and tasting, —for a good while also conversing, until dawn, thus, he departed.
12 Yo te pran jennonm nan ale tou vivan, e yo te byen rekonfòte.
And they brought the boy alive, and were comforted beyond measure.
13 Men nou menm, nou te fè avan pou pran bato k ap rive Asòs, kote nou te fè plan pou Paul ta monte bato a. Se konsa li te aranje sa, akoz ke li menm t ap pase pa tè.
And, we, going forward unto the ship, set sail for Assos, from thence being about to take up Paul; for, so, had he arranged, being about, himself, to go on foot.
14 Epi lè l te rankontre nou Asòs, nou te pran li abò, e te vini Mitilèn.
And, when he fell in with us in Assos, we took him on board, and came into Mitylene;
15 Soti la nan bato a vwal la, jou swivan an, nou te rive anfas Chios. Jou apre a nou te travèse Samòs, e jou swivan a nou te rive Milèt.
and, from thence sailing away on the morrow, we came over against Chios, and, on the next day, we thrust aside into Samos, and, on the succeeding day, we came into Miletus.
16 Paske Paul te fè desizyon pou depase Éphèse pou l pa ta oblije pase tan an Asie. Li t ap prese pou l te rive Jérusalem, si se te posib nan jou Fèt Lapannkot la.
For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, lest he should happen to lose time in Asia; for he hastened, if it were possible for him, against the day of Pentecost, to arrive, in Jerusalem.
17 Soti nan Milèt li te voye Ephèse pou rele ansyen a legliz yo pou rive kote l.
But, from Miletus, he sent unto Ephesus, and called for the elders of the assembly.
18 Lè yo te vin kote l, li te di yo: “Nou menm, nou konnen ke depi premye jou ke m te mete pye m an Asie a, kijan mwen te avèk nou tout tan
And, when they were come to him, he said unto them—Ye yourselves, well know, from the first day when I set foot in Asia, in what manner came to be with you all the time,
19 pou sèvi Senyè a avèk tout imilite, ak dlo nan zye m, e avèk gwo traka ki te vini sou mwen akoz konplo a Jwif yo.
doing service unto the Lord, with all humility and tears, and temptations which befell me through the plots of the Jews:
20 Kòman mwen pa t fè bak pou m te kab deklare a nou tout bagay ki te itil, e te enstwi nou an piblik, e de kay an kay.
in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes;
21 Se Konsa mwen t ap temwaye seryezman e konplètman a Jwif yo e a Grèk yo, de repantans anvè Bondye, ak lafwa nan Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.
bearing full witness, both to Jews and to Greeks, as to the repentance due unto God, and as to belief on our Lord Jesus.
22 “Koulye a, gade byen, mare pa Lespri a, mwen sou chemen pou rive Jérusalem, san menm konnen sa ki va rive m la,
And, now, lo! I, bound in my spirit, am journeying unto Jerusalem; the things which therein shall befall me, not knowing, —
23 sof ke Lespri Sen an temwaye solanèlman a mwen nan chak vil, pou di ke se kout kòd mare, avèk afliksyon k ap tann mwen.
save that, the Holy Spirit, from city to city, doth bear me full witness, saying that, bonds and tribulations, await me.
24 Men mwen pa konsidere lavi m nan okenn sans gen gwo valè pou mwen menm, pou m ta kapab fini ak kous mwen e ak ministè ke mwen te resevwa soti nan Jésus Kri a, pou m temwaye seryezman e konplètman, de levanjil gras Bondye a.
But, for no cause whatever, am I making my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to bear full witness as to the good news of the favour of God.
25 “Epi koulye a, veye byen, mwen konnen ke nou tout, pami sila mwen te pase, e te preche wayòm nan, p ap wè figi m ankò.
And, now, lo! I, know that, no more, shall ye see my face, —ye all, among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom.
26 Alò, mwen temwaye a nou nan jou sa, ke mwen inosan de san tout moun.
Wherefore I take you to witness, on this very day, that, pure am I from the blood of all;
27 Paske mwen pa t fè bak pou deklare a nou tout volonte a Bondye a nèt.
for I have not shrunk from announcing all the counsel of God unto you.
28 “Veye byen pou nou menm, e pou tout bann twoupo a, pami sila Lespri Sen an te fè nou gadyen, pou fè bèje a legliz Bondye a, legliz ke Li te achte avèk pwòp san Li.
Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers, —to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.
29 “Mwen konnen ke apre mwen pati, lou sovaj va vini pami nou, loup ki p ap fè gras menm a bann twoupo a.
I, know, that there will enter, after my departure, grievous wolves into your midst, not sparing the little flock;
30 Pami nou menm lèzòm va leve e va pale move bagay, pou antrene disip yo pou yo ta swiv yo.
and, from among your own selves, will arise men speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.
31 Konsa, rete vijilan. Byen sonje ke pou yon dire a twa zan, lannwit kon lajounen mwen pa t sispann egzòte nou avèk dlo nan zye m.
Wherefore, be on the watch, remembering that, for three years, night and day, I gave myself no rest, with tears, admonishing each one.
32 “Epi koulye a, mwen rekòmande nou a Bondye ak pawòl lagras Li, ki kapab ranfòse nou, e bannou eritaj pami tout sila ki sen yo.
Now, therefore, I commend you unto the Lord, and unto his word of favour, —which is able to build up and give the inheritance among all the hallowed ones.
33 “Mwen pa janm anvi ni lajan, ni lò, ni rad a lòt moun.
The silver or gold or apparel of no one, did I covet:
34 Nou menm nou konnen ke men sa yo te sèvi a pwòp bezwen m yo ak mesye ki te avè m yo.
yourselves, acknowledge that, for my necessities and for those who were with me, hard wrought these hands!
35 Nan tout bagay, mwen te montre nou ke nan travay di konsa, nou dwe toujou ede fèb yo, e sonje pawòl a Senyè Jésus yo, ke Li menm te di: ‘Li pi beni pou bay, pase resevwa.’”
In all things, I gave you to understand, that, thus toiling, it behoves to be helping the weak, also to be keeping in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, that, he himself, said—Happy is it, rather to give than to receive!
36 Lè l te fin di bagay sa yo, li te mete l a jenou, e te priye avèk yo tout.
And, these things saying, kneeling down with them all, he prayed.
37 Konsa, yo te kòmanse kriye fò. Yo te anbrase Paul, e t ap bo l anpil.
And they all wept much, and, falling upon Paul’s neck, they were tenderly kissing him;
38 Yo te ranpli ak gwo lapèn, sitou sou pawòl li te pale a, ke yo pa t ap wè fas li ankò. Konsa yo te akonpanye li rive nan bato a.
being most distressed for the word which he had said, —That, no more, should they, his face, behold. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
