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.

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

Passing through those parts, however, and exhorting them with much discourse, he came 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, 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 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.

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 Elos som meet ac soanekut in acn Troas.

And, these, came and were waiting 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 forth, after the days of unleavened bread, from Philippi, and came unto them in Troas in five days, where we tarried 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 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 Lam na pukanten akokak fin twek se lucng, yen kut tukeni we ah.

Now there were a good many torches in the upper room, where we were gathered together.

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

Going down, however, Paul fell upon him, and, embracing him, said—Be not making confusion; for, his soul, is, 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, going up, and breaking the loaf, and tasting, —for a good while also conversing, until dawn, thus, he departed.

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

And they brought the boy alive, and were comforted beyond measure.

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.

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

And, when he fell in with us in Assos, we took him on board, and came into Mitylene;

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

But, from Miletus, he sent unto Ephesus, and called for the elders of the assembly.

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 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 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.

doing service unto the Lord, with all humility and tears, and temptations which befell me through the plots 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,

in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes;

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.

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

And, now, lo! I, bound in my spirit, am journeying unto Jerusalem; the things which therein shall befall me, not knowing, —

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.

save that, the Holy Spirit, from city to city, doth bear me full witness, saying that, bonds and tribulations, await me.

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.

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 “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, lo! I, know that, no more, shall ye see my face, —ye all, among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom.

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

Wherefore I take you to witness, on this very day, that, pure am I from the blood of all;

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

for I have not shrunk from announcing all the counsel of God unto you.

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.

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 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.

I, know, that there will enter, after my departure, grievous wolves into your midst, not sparing the little 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.

and, from among your own selves, will arise men speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

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

Wherefore, be on the watch, remembering that, for three years, night and day, I gave myself no rest, with tears, admonishing each one.

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.

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

The silver or gold or apparel of no one, did I covet:

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

yourselves, acknowledge that, for my necessities and for those who were with me, hard wrought these hands!

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

And, these things saying, kneeling down with them all, he prayed.

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

And they all wept much, and, falling upon Paul’s neck, they were tenderly kissing him;

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

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.
