1 A, no te mutunga o te ngangau, ka karangatia e Paora nga akonga, ka tohutohu i a ratou, ka poroporoaki, a turia atu ana e ia, haere ana ki Makeronia.
After the uproar ceased, Paul summoned the disciples, said goodbye, and departed to go to Macedonia.
2 A ka haereerea e ia aua wahi, me te whakahau i a ratou ki nga kupu maha, a haere ana ia ki Kariki;
After going through those regions and encouraging the believers with many words, he came to Greece,
3 A, ka toru ona marama ki reira, i nga Hurai ano e whakatakoto whakaaro ana mona, i a ia meake rere ki Hiria, ka whakaaro ia kia hoki ma Makeronia.

These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.
6 Na i te mutunga o nga ra o te taro rewenakore ka rere atu matou i Piripai, a po rima ka tae atu ki a ratou ki Toroa; a e whitu nga ra i noho ai ki reira.
But we sailed from Philippi after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and five days later we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
7 Na i te ra tuatahi o te wiki, i te mea kua huihui matou ki te whawhati taro, ka kauwhau a Paora ki a ratou, e mea ana hoki ki te haere i te aonga ake; a ka kumea roatia tana korero a waenganui po ra ano.
On the first day of the week, as the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul addressed them, intending to depart the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.
8 A he maha nga rama i te ruma i runga, i te wahi i huihui ai matou.
Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered together,
9 Na tera tetahi taitamariki, ko Utiku te ingoa, i te matapihi e noho ana, kua tino parangia e te moe: a, ka roa tonu te kauwhau a Paora, na ka pehia rawatia ia e te moe, na ka taka iho i te toru o nga whakapaparanga o nga ruma, tangohia rawatia ak e kua mate.
and a young man named Eutychus, who was sitting on the window sill, sank into a deep sleep while Paul continued speaking for a long time. Overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
10 Na ka heke iho a Paora, a hinga ana ki runga ki a ia, awhi ana i a ia, ka mea, kei ngangau koutou; kei roto hoki i a ia tona wairua.
But Paul went down and threw himself on the young man. Taking him in his arms, he said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.”
11 Na ka kake atu ano ia, ka whawhati taro, ka kai, a ka roa rawa te korero a puao noa, ka haere.
Then Paul went back upstairs, and after he had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with the disciples for a long time, until dawn; that was how he departed.

And they brought the boy home alive and were comforted beyond measure.
13 Na ko matou kua riro i mua ki te kaipuke, a rere ana ki Aho, i mea kia utaina a Paora i reira: nana hoki i whakarite, i mea hoki ko ia me ra uta.
Then we went to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there, for that is what he had arranged, since he himself intended to go by land.
14 A ka tutaki ki a matou ki Aho, ka utaina ia, a rere ana matou ki Mitirini.
When he met us in Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene.
15 Rere atu ana matou i reira, a i te aonga ake ka taea te ritenga atu o Kio; ao ake ano ka u ki Hamo a noho ana ki Torokiriuma; ao ake ano ka u ki Miretu.
We set sail from there and arrived off Chios on the following day. The next day we reached Samos and stayed in Trogyllium, and the day after that we came to Miletus.
16 I mea hoki a Paora kia rere i waho ake o Epeha, kei roa ia ki Ahia: i porangi hoki me kore e rokohanga atu ia e te ra o te Petekoha ki Hiruharama.
For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so as not to spend time in Asia, because he was hurrying to arrive in Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.
17 Na ka tono tangata atu ia i Miretu ki Epeha, hei tiki i nga kaumatua o te hahi.
From Miletus Paul sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.
18 A, no to ratou taenga mai ki a ia, ka mea ia ki a ratou, E matau ana koutou ki taku tikanga i roto i a koutou i nga ra katoa, no te ra tuatahi iho ano o toku taenga mai ki Ahia,
When they came to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the day I first set foot in Asia,
19 Papaku noa iho te ngakau i mahi ai ahau ki te Ariki, he maha ia nga roimata me nga whakamatautau i pa ki ahau, i nga Hurai e whakatakoto whakaaro ana moku:
serving the Lord with all humility and with many tears and trials, which came upon me because of the plots of the Jews.
20 Kihai i puritia e ahau tetahi o nga mea pai; i whakakitea atu ano ki a koutou, i akona nuitia ki a koutou, i tenei whare, i tenei whare;
You know that I did not hold back from declaring to you anything that was beneficial, and from teaching you in public and from house to house,
21 I kauwhautia hoki ki nga Hurai, ki nga Kariki, te ripeneta whaka te Atua, me te whakapono ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti.
testifying to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.
22 Na, tenei ahau te haere nei ki Hiruharama, he hereherenga na te wairua, kahore hoki e mohio ki nga mea e pa ki ahau i reira:
And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, compelled by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there,
23 Heoi ano ko ta te Wairua Tapu e whakaatu nei ki ahau i tenei pa, i tenei pa, e mea ana, kei te taria mai ahau e nga mekameka, e nga mate.
except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me.
24 Otira kahore ahau e ihupuku ki te ora, hei painga ki ahau ake, engari kia taea taku e whai nei, me te mahi i homai ki ahau e te Ariki, e Ihu, ara kia whakaaturia te rongopai o te aroha noa o te Atua.
But I take no account of these things, nor do I regard my life as precious to myself, if only I may complete my course with joy and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
25 Na e mohio ana tenei ahau, heoi ano kitenga o toku mata e tetahi o koutou, e te hunga i kauwhau haere nei ahau i te rangatiratanga o te Atua i roto i a koutou.
“And now, behold, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom of God will see my face again.
26 Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou aianei, Kahore oku poke i nga toto o tetahi tangata.
Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of you all.
27 Kihai hoki ahau i manawapa ki te kauwhau i te whakaaro katoa o te Atua ki a koutou.
For I have not held back from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
28 Na kia tupato ki a koutou, ki te kahui katoa ano i meinga ai koutou e te Wairua Tapu hei kaitirotiro, whangaia te hahi a te Atua i hokona nei e ia ki ona ake toto.
So keep watch over yourselves and over the entire flock. The Holy Spirit has appointed you as their overseers, to shepherd the church of our Lord and God, which he obtained with his own blood.
29 E mohio ana hoki ahau ki tenei ka riro ahau, tera e puta mai ki a koutou he wuruhi nanakia, e kore nei e tohu i te kahui;
For I know that after my departure fierce wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 A ka whakatika ake etahi tangata i roto i a koutou ano, korero ai i nga mea parori ke, hei kukume i nga akonga kia whai i a ratou.
Even from your own number men will rise up, speaking perverse things to draw the disciples away after them.
31 Na reira, kia mataara, kia mahara ano ki nga tau e toru kihai nei ahau i mangere i te po, i te ao, ki te whakatupato i tenei, i tenei o koutou, me te tangi ano ahau.
Therefore be watchful, remembering that, night and day, for three years I did not stop admonishing each one of you, with tears.
32 Na, tenei ahau, te tuku nei i a koutou ki te Atua, ki te kupu hoki o tona aroha noa, e kaha nei ki te whakatupu ake, ki te hoatu hoki i tetahi wahi ki a koutou i roto i te hunga katoa kua oti te whakatapu.
And now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.
33 Kihai i hiahiatia e ahau te hiriwa, te koura, te kakahu ranei, o tetahi.
I coveted no one's silver, gold, or clothing.
34 E mohio ana ano koutou, na enei ringa i mahi nga mea i matea e ahau, e oku hoa hoki.
You yourselves know that these hands of mine ministered to my own needs and to the needs of those who were with me.
35 I nga mea katoa i hoatu e ahau he tauira ki a koutou, kia penei ta koutou mahi kia atawhaitia ai e koutou te hunga ngoikore, me te mahara ki nga kupu a te Ariki, a Ihu, i mea ra ia, Ko te whakawhiwhi, nui atu te hari i to te whiwhi.
In all things I have shown you that we must labor in this way and help those who are weak, remembering what the Lord Jesus himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
36 I te mutunga o tenei whai kupu ana ka tukua ona turi ki raro, ka inoi tahi ia me ratou katoa.
After saying these things, Paul knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 He nui hoki te tangi o te katoa; hinga iho ratou ki runga ki te kaki o Paora, ka kihi i a ia;
There was much weeping among them all, and they threw their arms around Paul's neck and kissed him,
38 I tino mamae pu hoki ratou i te kupu i mea ai ia, heoi ano to ratou kitenga i tona mata. Na ka arahi ratou i a ia ki te kaipuke.
being especially grieved over his statement that they would see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
