Ọrụ Ndị Ozi 20
1 Mgbe ọgbaaghara ndị a kwụsịrị, Pọl kpọkwara ndị na-eso ụzọ ahụ, gbaa ha ume, gwa ha ka ha nọdụ nke ọma, ọ pụrụ gawa Masidonia.
After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.
2 Mgbe ọ gagharịchara nʼakụkụ ala ahụ niile, werekwa okwu nkasiobi gbaa ndị ụmụnna ume, ọ bịaruru ala Griis.
When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
3 Ọ nọrọ ọnwa atọ nʼebe ahụ. Mgbe ọ chọpụtara na ndị Juu agbaala ajọ izu megide ya dịka ọ na-ejikere iso ụgbọ mmiri gaa Siria, o kpebiri ka ya si ụzọ Masidonia laghachi.
When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
4 Sopata onye Boria bụ ọkpara Pirọs, na Arịstakọs, na Sekundus ndị si na Tesalonaịka, na Gaiọs onye Debi na Timoti, na Taịkikọs na Trofimọs, ndị Eshịa sokwa ya na-aga ije a.
These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
5 Ndị a bu ụzọ gawa, na-eche anyị na Troas.
But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.
6 Mgbe Mmemme Ngabiga ahụ gwụsịrị, anyị banyere ụgbọ mmiri rute Filipai bịakwute ha na Troas nʼụbọchị nke ise. Anyị nọrọ nʼebe ahụ ụbọchị asaa.
We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.
7 Nʼụbọchị mbụ nʼizu ụka, mgbe anyị zukọrọ ịnyawa achịcha, Pọl gwara ha okwu, ebe ọ na-akwado ịla ma chi bọọ, o kwugidere okwu ruo nʼetiti abalị.
On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.
8 Ọtụtụ oriọna dịkwa nʼime ọnụụlọ ahụ dị nʼụlọ elu ebe anyị zukọrọ.
There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.
9 Otu nwokorobịa a na-akpọ Yutikọs nọdụrụ ala nʼoghereikuku, ọ bụ onye oke ụra bidoro ịtụ dịka Pọl na-ekwu okwu ruo oge dị anya. Mgbe ọ dara nʼoke ụra a, o sitere na nʼụlọ elu nke atọ dapụ, daa nʼala. Mgbe e buliri ya, ọ bụ onye nwụrụ anwụ.
A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.
10 Pọl rituru nʼala selite ya elu jikụọ ya. Ọ sịrị ndị gbakọrọ nʼebe ahụ sị, “Ka obi hapụ ịlọ unu mmiri ọ dị ndụ.”
Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”
11 Ọ laghachikwara nʼụlọ elu ahụ, mgbe ọ nyawachara achịcha ma riekwa, o kwugidere okwu tutu chi abọọ, ọ hapụrụ ha bilie ije ya.
When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.
12 Ha kulitere nwokorobịa ahụ na ndụ nke mere ka ọṅụ jupụta ha nʼobi. Ọ gbakwara ha ume nke ukwuu.
They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.
13 Anyị onwe anyị gara nʼihu banye nʼụgbọ mmiri chee ihu ịga Asọs. Ebe anyị zubere iburu Pọl nʼụgbọ anyị. O soghị anyị nʼihi na o zubere iji ụkwụ ruo ebe ahụ.
But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.
14 Mgbe o zutere anyị nʼAsọs, anyị buru ya nʼụgbọ gaa Mitilen.
When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.
15 Nʼụbọchị nke ọzọ ya, anyị rutere Kiọs, nʼụbọchị nke so ya, anyị gafere rute Samọs. Ma mgbe otu ụbọchị ọzọ gasịrị, anyị rutere Melitọs.
Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.
16 Nʼoge a, Pọl kpebiri na ọ gaghị akwụsị nʼEfesọs ka ọ ghara itufu oge nʼEshịa, nʼihi na ọ na-eme ngwangwa irute Jerusalem nʼụbọchị mmemme Pentikọọsụ, ma ọ bụrụ ihe ọ pụrụ ime.
For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 Site na Melitọs, ọ zipụrụ ozi ka a kpọọrọ ya ndị okenye chọọchị nke Efesọs ka ha bịa zute ya.
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.
18 Oge ha bịakwutere ya, ọ gwara ha, “Unu maara nke ọma otu m si nọ nʼetiti unu mgbe niile mụ na unu nọrọ, site nʼụbọchị mbụ ụkwụ m zọkwasịrị nʼala Eshịa tutu ruo ugbu a.
When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,
19 Arụrụ m ọrụ Onyenwe anyị site nʼobi umeala na anya mmiri nʼetiti ntaramahụhụ dị ukwuu, site nʼizu ọjọọ ndị Juu gbara maka m.
serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
20 Unu hụrụ na m ahapụghị ime ka unu mara ihe ọbụla ga-abara unu uru, mgbe ọbụla m na-akụziri unu ihe nʼụlọ maọbụ nʼihu ọha.
how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
21 E kwusaala m nye ma ndị Juu ma ndị Griik okwu nchegharị nʼebe Chineke nọ, na okwukwe nʼebe Onyenwe anyị Jisọs nọ.
testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance towards God and faith towards our Lord Jesus.
22 “Ma otu ọ dị, ana m aga Jerusalem dịka iwu Mmụọ Nsọ nyere m si dị, ma amaghị m ihe ọnọdụ m ga-abụ nʼebe ahụ.
Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;
23 Karịakwa na Mmụọ Nsọ na-agbara m ama nʼebe ọbụla na mkpọrọ na ntaramahụhụ na-eche m nʼebe ahụ.
except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.
24 Ma akpọghị m ndụ m ihe ọbụla. Karịa naanị ka m gbazuo ọsọ m ma jezuokwa ozi ahụ m natara nʼaka Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, nke bụ ịkọwa banyere oziọma nke amara Chineke.
But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.
25 “Ma ugbu a, amaara m na o nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu, bụ ndị m jegharịrị nʼetiti ha na-ezisara ihe banyere alaeze a ga-ahụ m anya ọzọ.
“Now, behold, I know that you all, amongst whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.
26 Ya mere, ana m agwasị unu ike, taa, na abụ m onye aka ya dị ọcha nʼebe ọbara onye ọbụla nʼime unu dị.
Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,
27 Nʼihi na-esepụghị m aka ikwupụta nzọpụta Chineke nye unu.
for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
28 Ma ugbu a, kpacharanụ anya! Leziekwanụ onwe unu na igwe atụrụ nke Mmụọ Nsọ mere unu ndị nlekọta anya ya. Ka unu bụrụ ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ nke chọọchị Chineke, bụ nke o ji ọbara ya zụtara onwe ya.
Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.
29 Nʼihi na amaara m na mgbe m lachara, agụ jọgburu onwe ya ga-abata nʼetiti unu nke na-agaghị emere igwe atụrụ ebere.
For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in amongst you, not sparing the flock.
30 Ụfọdụ nʼime unu ga-ebili tụgharịa eziokwu ahụ ịhụ ka ha si otu a dọrọ ụfọdụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ahụ nye onwe ha.
Men will arise from amongst your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 Ya mere, na-echenụ nche! Chetakwanụ na nʼime afọ atọ m nọrọ nʼetiti unu, ehihie na abalị, eji m ịkwa akwa na anya mmiri na-adụ unu ọdụ.
Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
32 “Ugbu a ana m etife unu nʼaka Chineke na nlekọta ya. Ana m etifekwa unu nʼaka okwu amara ya nke pụrụ ịgba okwukwe unu ume na inyekwa unu akụnụba ọ kwadobeere ndị ahụ e doro nsọ.
Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance amongst all those who are sanctified.
33 Ọ dịghị mgbe ọbụla agụụ ịdọtara onwe m ọlaọcha maọbụ ọlaedo maọbụ uwe nke onye ọbụla ji gụọ m.
I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.
34 Ọ bakwaghị uru ịgwa unu na ọ bụ aka m rụpụtara ọrụ gbooro m mkpa niile, na nke gbokwara mkpa ndị ahụ mụ na ha so.
You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.
35 Nʼihe niile, abụkwa m ihe ilere anya nye unu banyere inyere ndị ogbenye aka, site nʼịrụ ọrụ nʼụzọ dị otu a, na-echetara m okwu nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs kwuru sị, ‘Ngọzị karịrị dị nʼinye enye karịa ịnara anara.’”
In all things I gave you an example, that so labouring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
36 Mgbe o kwusiri okwu ndị a, o soro ha niile gbuo ikpere nʼala kpekwa ekpere.
When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 Ha bere akwa nke ukwuu, makụọ Pọl, sutukwa ya ọnụ.
They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,
38 O wutere ha karịa na o kwuru na ha agaghị ahụ ya anya ọzọ. Emesịa, ha duru ya ruo ebe ọ banyere ụgbọ mmiri.
sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
