Orekma 20

1 Tukun fohsak sac, Paul el solani mwet lulalfongi uh, ac sang kas in akku nu selos ac wilkas nu selos. Na el fahsr lukelos ac som nu Macedonia.

THEN after the tumult was quieted, Paul called to him the disciples, and taking his leave, departed to go into Macedonia.

2 El fahsr sasla in polo acn sac nufon, ac akkeye mwet uh ke kas wo puspis, na el tuku nu Achaia,

And passing through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he went into Greece.

3 ac muta we ke malem tolu. El akola in som nu Syria ke el etauk lah mwet Jew elos pwapa in lainul; ouinge el sulela elan folokla sasla in acn Macedonia.

And after three months stay, as the Jews were lying in wait for him, when he was just embarking for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

4 Sopater, wen natul Pyrrhus sie mwet Berea, el welul som; oayapa Aristarchus ac Secundus su mwet Thessalonica; Gaius liki siti Derbe; Tychicus ac Trophimus liki acn Asia; ac Timothy.

And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus, Asiatics.

5 Elos som meet ac soanekut in acn Troas.

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

6 Kut kal Philippi lac tukun Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol, ac tukun len limekosr kut sonolos in acn Troas, ac muta we wik se.

And we sailed from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas after five days; where we stayed seven days.

7 Ke eku in Saturday ah, kut tukeni nu sie in oru kufwa in kunsalik bread. Paul el kaskas nu sin mwet uh ac luti nu selos nwe ke infulwen fong, mweyen el ac som ke len tok ah.

And on the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled to break bread, Paul preached unto them (ready to depart on the morrow), and extended his discourse until midnight.

8 Lam na pukanten akokak fin twek se lucng, yen kut tukeni we ah.

Now there were many lamps in the upper room, where they were assembled.

9 Mukul fusr se pangpang Eutychus el muta ke winto se, ac ke Paul el sramsram na paht, Eutychus el arulana mwetkeli ac motulla, ac putatla liki twek se aktolu ac nwe infohk ah. Elos som sraklalak tuh el na misa tari.

And a certain youth named Eutytchus, who sat in the window, fell into a profound sleep: as Paul discoursed much longer than usual, quite overpowered with sleep, he fell down from a third story, and was taken up dead.

10 Paul el fani ac asrosrelik facl ac apsilya. Na el fahk, “Kowos in tia fosrnga. El moul na.”

But Paul came down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Trouble not yourselves, for his life is yet in him.

11 Na el folokyak nu fin twek sac, kunsalik bread uh ac mongo. Tukun el welulos sramsram ke pacl na loes se, aok nwe ke lenelik, Paul el som.

And when he had gone up, and broken bread, and eaten, and conversed a long time, even to the break of day, he then departed.

12 Mukul fusr sac moul na, ac elos pwanulla nu lohm sel ah, ac elos arulana enganak.

And they brought the lad alive, and were comforted exceedingly.

13 Kut som meet nu ke oak soko, ac oayak nu Assos, kut in tuh srakalak Paul nu fin oak uh we. El tuh sap kut in oru ouinge mweyen el mu el ac fahsrna ut finmes nwe we.

Then we going before to the ship, sailed for Assos, intending there to take in Paul: for so he had ordered, meaning himself to walk thither.

14 Ke el sun kut in acn Assos, kut sraklalak ac kal som nwe Mitylene.

And when he met us at Assos, we took him up, and came to Mytelene.

15 Kut oayak liki acn sac ac oai Chios ke len tok ah. Na in len se toko ah kut tuku nu Samos, ac len tok ah kut sun acn Miletus.

And sailing from thence, on the following day we advanced over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos, and staying at Trogyllium, the day following we came to Miletus.

16 Paul el wotela sel in ut sisken Ephesus lac, elan mau tia sisla pacl in acn Asia. El sulaklak elan sun acn Jerusalem meet liki len in Pentecost, el fin ku.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened on, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17 Paul el sapla Miletus lac nu Ephesus, ac siyuk mwet kol in church we ah in tuku osun nu sel.

So he sent to Ephesus from Miletus, and called the presbyters of the church to attend him.

18 Ke elos sun acn we el fahk nu selos, “Kowos etu ma nukewa ma nga tuh oru ke nga muta yuruwos, mutawauk na ke len se oemeet nga sun acn Asia ah.

And when they were come unto him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the very first day in which I entered into Asia, how I have been among you at every season,

19 Oana ke nga mwet kulansap lun Leum, nga tuh oru orekma kunuk ke inse pusisel, ac pus pacl nga tung ke ma upa sikyak nu sik ke sripen pwapa koluk lun mwet Jew uh.

serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, which have befallen me through the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 Kowos etu lah ke nga fahkak ku luti ye mutun mwet uh oayapa in lohm suwos kais sie, nga tia okanla kutena ma liki kowos fin ma ac kasrekowos,

and that I have suppressed nothing which could conduce to your profiting; not desisting from preaching to you, and teaching you in public, and from house to house,

21 Nga sensenkakin mwet Jew ac oayapa mwet pegan tuh elos in forla liki ma koluk lalos nu sin God, ac lulalfongi in Leum lasr Jesus.

repeatedly urging both on Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 Ac inge, nga ac akos Ngun Mutal ac som nu Jerusalem, ac nga tia etu lah mea ac sikyak nu sik we.

And now behold I am going, bound by the Spirit, unto Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall there befal me:

23 Ma sefanna nga etu pa Ngun Mutal el akkalemye nu sik tari, lah kapir ac mwe lokoalok soaneyu in siti nukewa nga ac som nu we.

only this, that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and tribulation await thee.

24 Nga tia seko moul luk sifacna, a nga kena aksafyela kunokon se ma Leum Jesus el ase nga in oru, pa in fahkelik Pweng Wo ke kulang lun God.

Yet I make no account of any suffering, nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully the Gospel of the grace of God.

25 “Nga tuh forfor inmasrlowos nukewa, ac fahkak ke Tokosrai lun God. Ac inge nga etu lah wangin sie suwos ac fah sifil liyeyu.

And now behold, I know that ye shall see my face no more, even ye all, among whom I have gone in and out preaching the kingdom of God.

26 Ouinge nga wili nu suwos misenge, lah kutena suwos fin tuhlac, wangin ma luk kac.

Wherefore I appeal to you this day as witnesses that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 Tuh nga tia okanla liki kowos in fahkak oakwuk nukewa lun God.

For I have concealed nothing, so as not repeatedly to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

28 Ke ma inge kowos liyekowosyang sifacna ac liyaung pac elos nukewa su oana un sheep ma Ngun Mutal filiya inpouwos uh. Kowos in mwet shepherd nu ke church lun God, su El oru in ma lal ke sripen misa lun Wen natul, su sifacna kisakunulla keiwos.

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed as shepherds the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.

29 Nga etu lah tukun nga ac som liki kowos uh, mwet ma oana wolf sulallal ac fah tuku nu inmasrlowos ac kunausla un sheep uh.

For this I know, that after my departure there will come among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock:

30 Pacl se ac fah tuku, ke mwet na in u lowos an ac fah fahk kas kikiap in kolla mwet lulalfongi uh in fahsr tokolos.

Yea, from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverting doctrines, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Ke ma inge kowos arulana taran ac esam lah nga tung ke len ac fong ke nga luti kowos nukewa ke yac tolu.

Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, by night and by day, I have never ceased with tears to admonish every individual.

32 “Ac inge nga eiskowosyang nu ke karinginyuk lun God ac nu ke kas kulang lal, su ku in musaikowosyak ac asot nu suwos mwe insewowo su God El akola nu sin mwet lal.

And now, brethren, I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to finish the superstructure, and to give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

33 Wangin kena luk nu ke silver ku gold ku nuknuk lun kutena mwet.

The silver, or gold, or apparel of no man have I coveted:

34 Kowos sifacna etu lah nga orekmakin na pouk in sokak ma su nga, ac mwet wiyu inge, enenu uh.

but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for those who were with me.

35 Nga tuh filiya sie srikasrak nu suwos, tuh ke kut insianaung in orekma, kut enenu pac in kasru mwet munas, ac esam kas ma Leum Jesus el sifacna fahk, ‘Insewowo in sang yohk liki insewowo in eis.’”

In all things I have set you the example, that so labouring hard ye ought to help the infirm, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

36 Ke safla ma Paul el fahk uh, na el sikukmutunteiyak ac pre.

And when he had spoken these things, he fell on his knees, and prayed with them all.

37 Elos nukewa tung ke elos kaosulma ac ngok mutal in wilkas nu sel.

And all of them shed floods of tears, and fell upon Paul’s neck, and kissed him again and again,

38 Elos asor yohk ke sripen el tuh fahk mu elos ac fah tia sifil liyal. Na elos welul som nu ke oak ah.

most peculiarly afflicted at that word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more: and they accompanied him unto the ship.
