Asan'ny Apostoly 20

1 Ary rehefa nitsahatra ny tabataba, dia nampaka ny mpianatra Paoly ka nananatra azy sy nanao veloma azy, dia lasa nankany Makedonia izy.

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

2 Ary rehefa nitety izany tany izany sy nananatra ny olona tamin’ ny teny maro izy, dia tonga tany Grisia.

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

3 Ary nony efa nitoetra telo volana teo izy ka efa hiondrana an-tsambo hankany Syria, ary nisy Jiosy nanotrika azy, dia niova hevitra izy ka lasa niverina namaky an’ i Makedonia.

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 Ary niaraka taminy hatrany Asia Sopatera, zanak’ i Pyro, avy any Beria, ary Aristarko sy Sekondo avy any Tesalonika, ary Gaio avy any Derbe, ary Timoty, ary Tykiko sy Trofimo avy any Asia.

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 Ireo dia efa nialoha ka niandry anay tany Troasy.

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

6 Dia niondrana an-tsambo niala tany Filipy izahay, rehefa tapitra ny andro fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia nankany aminy tany Troasy izahay nony afaka hadimiana; ary tany no nitoeranay hafitoana.

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 Ary tamin’ ny andro voalohany amin’ ny herinandro, rehefa niangona hamaky mofo izahay, Paoly dia nitori-teny taminy, fa nikasa handeha maraina izy; dia naharitra nitori-teny mandra-paha-mamatonalina izy.

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 Ary nisy jiro maro teo an-trano ambony izay niangonanay.

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

9 Ary nisy zatovo anankiray atao hoe Eotyka nipetraka teo am-baravarankely ka sondrian-tory; ary raha naharitra ela ny toritenin’ i Paoly, dia niraika noho ny torimaso ilay zatovo ka nianjera tamin’ ny tany avy eny amin’ ny rihana intelo mifanongoa, ary nony narenina izy, dia indro fa efa maty.

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 Ary Paoly nidina, dia niankohoka taminy sy nanohona azy ka nanao hoe: Aza mihorikorika ianareo, fa mbola misy aina ihany izy.

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 Ary niakatra Paoly, dia namaky ny mofo, ary rehefa nihinana sy niresaka ela ambara-pahamarain’ ny andro izy, dia lasa nandeha.

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 Ary nitondra ilay zatovo efa velona izy ireo ka faly dia faly.

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

13 Ary izahay nialoha ho any an-tsambo, dia niondrana nankany Aso, fa eo no handraisana an’ i Paoly, satria eo no fotoana nataony, fa nikasa handeha an-tanety izy.

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 Ary rehefa nihaona taminay tany Aso izy, dia noraisinay, ary dia lasa nankany Mitylena izahay.

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

15 Ary rehefa niondrana an-tsambo niala teo izahay, dia tonga tandrifin’ i Kio nony ampitso; ary nony ampitso indray dia niantsona tao Samo; ka tonga tany Mileto izahay nony ampitson’ iny.

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 Fa Paoly efa nikasa handeha an-tsambo handalo any Efesosy mba tsy hitoerany ela any Asia; fa maika izy, raha azony hatao, hamonjy ny andro Pentekosta any Jerosalema.

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 Ary raha tany Mileto Paoly, dia naniraka hankany Efesosy izy ka nampaka ny loholon’ ny fiangonana hankeo aminy.

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

18 Ary nony tonga teo aminy ireo, dia hoy izy taminy: Fantatrareo hatramin’ ny andro voalohany nahatongavako teto Asia izay toetry ny fitondran-tenako taminareo tamin’ izany andro rehetra izany,

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 dia ny nanompoako ny Tompo tamin’ ny fanetren-tena rehetra sy ny ranomaso ary ny fakam-panahy izay nanjo ahy tamin’ ny fanotrehan’ ny Jiosy,

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 ka tsy mba nafeniko izay mahasoa, fa nambarako sy nampianariko anareo teo imason’ ny olona ary tao amin’ ny isan-trano;

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 ary nambarako tamin’ ny Jiosy sy ny jentilisa koa ny fibebahana amin’ Andriamanitra sy ny finoana an’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika.

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

22 Ary ankehitriny, indro, terỳ am-panahy hankany Jerosalema aho, nefa tsy fantatro izay hanjo ahy any,

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

23 afa-tsy izay ambaran’ ny Fanahy Masìna amiko amin’ ny isan-tanàna, fa hisy famatorana sy fahoriana hanjo ahy.

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

24 Nefa tsy ataoko ho zavatra akory ny aiko, mba hahavita ny alehako, dia ny fanompoana izay noraisiko tamin’ i Jesosy Tompo hanambara ny filazantsaran’ ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra.

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 Ary, indro, ankehitriny fantatro fa tsy hahita ny tavako intsony ianareo rehetra izay nalehako nitoriako ny fanjakana.

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 Koa manambara aminareo aho anio fa afaka amin’ ny ranareo rehetra aho.

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

27 Fa tsy nafeniko anareo, fa notoriko taminareo avokoa ny saina rehetra natolotr’ Andriamanitra.

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

28 Tandremo ny tenanareo sy ny ondry rehetra izay nanaovan’ ny Fanahy Masìna anareo ho mpitandrina’, hiandrasanareo ny fiangonan Andriamanitra, izay novidiny tamin’ ny ràny.

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 Fantatro fa rehefa lasa aho dia hisy amboadia masiaka hiditra eo aminareo izay tsy hiantra ny ondry.

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

30 Ary avy aminareo no hiposahan’ ny olona sasany mitory teny tsy marina hitaona ny mpianatra hanaraka azy.

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

31 Koa miambena, ary tsarovy fa telo taona mipaka aho tsy nitsahatra nananatra anareo rehetra andro aman’ alina tamin’ ny ranomaso.

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

32 Ary ankehitriny izaho manolotra anareo ho amin’ Andriamanitra sy ho amin’ ny tenin’ ny fahasoavany, izay mahay mampandroso sy manome lova anareo eo amin’ izay rehetra nohamasinina.

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 Tsy mba naniry volafotsy na volamena na lamban’ olona aho.

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

34 Fa fantatrareo ihany fa ireto tanako ireto no niasa mba hahazoako sy ny niaraka tamiko izay nilainay.

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

35 Efa nasehoko anareo tamin’ ny zavatra rehetra fa tokony hiasa toy izany koa ianareo, mba hiantra ny mahantra ka hahatsiaro ny tenin’ i Jesosy Tompo, izay manao hoe: Mahasambatra kokoa ny manome noho ny mandray.

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 Ary rehefa niteny izany izy, dia nandohalika teo ka niara-nivavaka tamin’ izy rehetra.

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

37 Ary nitomany mafy izy rehetra, dia namihina ny vozon’ i Paoly ka nanoroka azy,

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

38 sady nalahelo loatra noho ny nilazany fa tsy hahita ny tavany intsony izy. Dia nanatitra azy teny an-tsambo izy.

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.
