Asan'ny Apostoly 20
1 Aa naho nijihetse i koràkey, le nampihitrife’ i Paoly mb’ ama’e o mpiòkeo naho nifetrehe’e vaho nionjoñe mb’e Makedonia añe.
Now after the uproar had ended, Paul summoned the disciples, took leave of them, and set out for Macedonia.
2 Nirangae’e o taneo, nañosike ondatio an-tsara maro vaho nandoake e Grisia añe,
When he had gone through those parts and encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
3 Nañialo telo volañe añe re. Aa naho nivoñoñ’ aze o Tehodao ie ho nijon-dakañe mb’e Sirià mb’eo, le sinafiri’e ty hibalik’ am-pirangañe i Makedonia.
When he had stayed three months, as he was about to set sail for Syria, the Jews made a plot against him, so he decided to return through Macedonia.
4 Nindre ama’e t’i Sopatera ana’ i Pìro nte Berea naho i Aristarko naho i Sekondo nte Tesalonika naho i Gaio nte Derbe, le i Timoty naho i Tikìko vaho i Trofimo nte-Asia.
Now Sopater of Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia were going to accompany him as far as Asia;
5 Niaolo anay iereo vaho nandiñe e Troasy ao.
so having gone on ahead, these men were waiting for us in Troas.
6 Aa naho niheneke o andro-Mofo-po-dalivaio le nijon-dakañe boak’e Filipy zahay; ie nimodo ty andro lime le nifanampe am’iereo e Troasy ao vaho nitambats’ ao fito andro.
But it was after the Days of Unleavened Bread that we sailed from Philippi, and in five days we joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
7 Ie tsofotse ty andro’ i Sabotsey, ie fa nivory hamolake mofo o mpiòkeo, le nitaroñe am’iereo t’i Paoly, fa satri’e ty hiavotse amy loak’ àndroy, aa le nitolom-pilañoñe ampara’ te antets’ aleñe re.
Now on the first day of the week, the disciples being assembled to break bread, Paul started addressing them, and because he intended to leave the next day he continued his message until midnight.
8 Nimaro ty jiro am-batsa nivoria’ay ao,
There were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled.
9 le nitobok’ an-dalan-kede eo ty ajalahy atao Eotika naho nikonkoñe, aa ie tinohitohi’ i Paoly i lañona’ey, le nilañake ty roro i ajalahiy naho nikapotrake intelo riha mb’an-tane mb’eo vaho fola-manta te nongaheñe.
Well a certain young man named Eutychus sat in a window and was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul kept on talking; when he was overcome by the sleep he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
10 Nizotso mb’eo t’i Paoly nihohok’ amy ajalahiy, ie nifihine’e, le hoe re, Ko hembañe, fa ama’e ty fiai’e!
So Paul went down, threw himself on him and embracing him said, “Do not be distressed, because his life is in him!”
11 Niañambone indraike t’i Paoly namolake mofo naho nikama, le nitolom-pitaroñe ampara’ te niporea ty maraindray vaho nienga.
Then he went back up and broke bread, ate, and kept on speaking until daybreak—that is how he left!
12 Nindese’ iareo veloñe, am-panintsiñañe, i ajalahiy.
(On their part, they led the boy away alive, and were greatly comforted.)
13 Fa niaolo aze an-dakan-jahay, nionjoñe mb’e Aso mb’eo, hampijoñe i Paoly añe amy namotoaña’ey, ie nañavelo am-pandia.
As for us, we went to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there—so it had been arranged, he himself intending to go on foot.
14 Aa ie nifanampe ama’ay e Aso ao, le najo’ay vaho nitolom-b’e Mitilena mb’eo.
When he met us at Assos we took him aboard and went on to Mityline.
15 Nionjoñe boak’ao zahay le niporopotìtse tandrife’ i Kio te loak’ àndro. Amy hamarai’ey ka le nivotrake e Samo, vaho nandoake e Mileto añe amy loak’ àndroy.
Sailing from there, the next day we arrived opposite Chios, and the day after we crossed over to Samos and stopped in Trogylium; the following day we came to Miletus.
16 Sinafiri’ i Paoly ty handrioñe i Efesosy tsy handrìta’e andro maro e Asia ao, fa sinda te hañambeñe ty andro’ i Halimampoloy e Ierosaleme ao.
(Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, to avoid being detained in Asia, because he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost, if he possibly could.)
17 Nampihitrike Efesosy añe boak’e Mileto re, nikoike o beim-Pivorio.
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and summoned the elders of the congregation.
18 Ie nitotsak’ ama’e, le hoe re: Fohi’ areo, boak’amy andro valoha’e nivotrahako Asia atoiy, ty fivelomako ama’ areo ze hene sà nitraofan-tika rezay,
So when they had come to him he said to them: “You yourselves know, from the first day that I arrived in Asia, how I lived the whole time I was with you,
19 nitoroñe i Talè am-pirèhan-troke naho ranomaso maro ndra te teo ty fitsohañe ahy amo fikinià’ o Tehodaoo;
serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, the ones that happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
20 tsy nitsikifotse tsy hitaroñako ze mete mañasoa, fe nanoro anahareo an-tameañe vaho ki-anjomba-anjomba.
how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
21 Nafèko amo Jiosio naho amo Grikao ty fisolohoañe aman’Añahare naho ty fatokisañe Iesoà Talèntika Norizañey.
solemnly proclaiming to both Jews and Greeks the repentance toward God and the faith into our Lord Jesus.
22 Ie henanekeo, oniño te mionjoñe mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo an-troke mirohy le nofiko o raha mete hizò ahy añe;
Now then, I am going to Jerusalem bound in my spirit, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,
23 naho tsy te mañatahata ahy amy ze rova iaby i Arofo Masiñey t’ie mandiñe rohy naho sarerake.
except that the Holy Spirit keeps warning me in every city, saying that fetters and afflictions are just waiting for me.
24 Fe tsy volilieko ho vara amako ty fiaiko, hañenefako an-drebeke ty filaisako naho i fitoroñañe rinambeko am’ Iesoà Talèy, t'ie mitaroñe i talili-soa’ o falalàn’ Añahareoy.
However none of this moves me, nor do I regard my life as valuable to myself, just so that I may complete my course with joy, even the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly proclaim the Good News of the grace of God.
25 Inao, apotako henane zao te tsy hahaisake ty tareheko ka nahareo nindre amako amy fitaroñako i fifeheañeiy.
“Furthermore, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the Kingdom of God will ever see my face again.
26 Ataliliko ama’ areo androany, te malio tahin-draho amy ze hene lio’ ondaty,
Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all;
27 le tsy nifimpìñe tsy hitaroñe ama’ areo ze fonga famerean’ Añahare.
because I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
28 Mitaoa, naho itaò o mpirai-lia’e iabio, o nampiandraze’ i Arofo Masiñeio, hamahana’ areo i Fivorin’ Añahare vinili’e amy lio’eiy.
So take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as overseers, to shepherd the congregation of the Lord and God which He purchased with His own blood.
29 Apotako te izaho fa nienga, le hizilik’ ama’ areo ao o amboa romotseo vaho tsy hapo’e i lia-raikey.
Because I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Toe hiboak’ ama’ areo ty ‘ndaty hiongake naho hivolan-kamengohañe, hanintake ty mpiòke ho am’iereo.
Yes, men will rise up from among you yourselves, speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 Aa le mitomira! naho mitiahia te nañeneke ty telo taoñe iraho tsy nitroatse namere anahareo haleñe naho handro an-dranomaso.
Therefore be alert, remembering that during three years, night and day, I never stopped admonishing each one, with tears.
32 Aa ie henaneo, tolorako aman’ Añahare naho ami’ty Tsara’ i hasoa’ey, ie ty mahatomambao anahareo, hanolotse anjara lova amy ze hene ondaty navaheñe.
“And so now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.
33 Tsy eo ty nikirañako volafoty ndra volamena ndra sarimbo.
I have not coveted anyone's silver or gold or clothing.
34 Toe fohi’ areo te nañeneke o nipaiakoo naho o nitraok’ amakoo o tañako retoa.
You yourselves know that these hands have supplied my own needs, and of those who were with me.
35 Fa nitoroako amy ze he’e amy fifanehafañe zay, ty hañimbà’ areo o malemeo, ie mitiahy ty tsara’ i Talè Iesoà manao ty hoe: Haha ty manjotso ta ty mandrambe.
In every way I showed you that working hard like this it is necessary to help the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
36 Ie niheneke i saontsi’ey, le nitongaleke vaho nitrao-pilolok’ am’iereo iaby.
When he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 Sindre nirovetse, namontititse ty fititia’e naho nañondrok’ aze.
Then they all wept freely, and falling on Paul's neck kept kissing him,
38 Loho nampihontoke iareo i tsara nanoe’e te tsy ho isa’ iereo ka i lahara’eiy; le nasese’ iereo mb’ an-dakañe mb’eo.
sorrowing most of all because of the word that he had spoken, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
