preritAH 20

1 itthaM kalahe nivR^itte sati paulaH shiShyagaNam AhUya visarjanaM prApya mAkidaniyAdeshaM prasthitavAn|

After the uproar ceased, Paul, having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, bidding them adieu, departed to go into Macedonia.

2 tena sthAnena gachChan taddeshIyAn shiShyAn bahUpadishya yUnAnIyadesham upasthitavAn|

And having come through those regions, and exhorted them with much speaking, he came into Greece;

3 tatra mAsatrayaM sthitvA tasmAt suriyAdeshaM yAtum udyataH, kintu yihUdIyAstaM hantuM guptA atiShThan tasmAt sa punarapi mAkidaniyAmArgeNa pratyAgantuM matiM kR^itavAn|

and having remained three months, a plot rising against him from the Jews, when about to sail for Syria, he was of a mind to return through Macedonia.

4 birayAnagarIyasopAtraH thiShalanIkIyAristArkhasikundau darbbonagarIyagAyatImathiyau AshiyAdeshIyatukhikatraphimau cha tena sArddhaM AshiyAdeshaM yAvad gatavantaH|

And Sopater the (son) of Pyrrhus, the Berean, and Aristarchus, the Thessalonian, and Secundus; and Gaius the Derbean, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus the Asiatics, accompanied him;

5 ete sarvve. agrasarAH santo. asmAn apekShya troyAnagare sthitavantaH|

and these having gone in advance, awaited us in Troas;

6 kiNvashUnyapUpotsavadine cha gate sati vayaM philipInagarAt toyapathena gatvA pa nchabhi rdinaistroyAnagaram upasthAya tatra saptadinAnyavAtiShThAma|

and we, after the days of unleaven bread, sailed from Philippi, and came to them into Troas within five days; where we spent seven days.

7 saptAhasya prathamadine pUpAn bhaMktu shiShyeShu militeShu paulaH paradine tasmAt prasthAtum udyataH san tadahni prAyeNa kShapAyA yAmadvayaM yAvat shiShyebhyo dharmmakathAm akathayat|

And on the first of the Sabbaths we being assembled to break bread, Paul spoke to them, being about to depart the following day, and continued his discourse till midnight:

8 uparisthe yasmin prakoShThe sabhAM kR^itvAsan tatra bahavaH pradIpAH prAjvalan|

and there were many lamps in the upper room, where we were assembled.

9 utukhanAmA kashchana yuvA cha vAtAyana upavishan ghorataranidrAgrasto. abhUt tadA paulena bahukShaNaM kathAyAM prachAritAyAM nidrAmagnaH sa tasmAd uparisthatR^itIyaprakoShThAd apatat, tato lokAstaM mR^itakalpaM dhR^itvodatolayan|

Paul speaking more prolixly, there was a certain young man, Eutychus by name, sitting in the window, being borne down with deep sleep, completely relaxed by sleep, fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.

10 tataH paulo. avaruhya tasya gAtre patitvA taM kroDe nidhAya kathitavAn, yUyaM vyAkulA mA bhUta nAyaM prANai rviyuktaH|

And Paul, having come down, fell on him, and taking him in his arms said, Fear not; for his soul is in him:

11 pashchAt sa punashchopari gatvA pUpAn bhaMktvA prabhAtaM yAvat kathopakathane kR^itvA prasthitavAn|

and having come up, and broken the bread, and eaten, and talking a long time, until daydawn, thus he departed.

12 te cha taM jIvantaM yuvAnaM gR^ihItvA gatvA paramApyAyitA jAtAH|

And they led up the boy alive, and were comforted exceedingly.

13 anantaraM vayaM potenAgrasarA bhUtvAsmanagaram uttIryya paulaM grahItuM matim akurmma yataH sa tatra padbhyAM vrajituM matiM kR^itveti nirUpitavAn|

But we, having come in advance to the ship, embarked for Assos, thence being about to take up Paul, for he had so commanded us, himself being about to go on foot.

14 tasmAt tatrAsmAbhiH sArddhaM tasmin milite sati vayaM taM nItvA mitulInyupadvIpaM prAptavantaH|

And when he met us at Assos, taking him up, we came to Mitylene.

15 tasmAt potaM mochayitvA pare. ahani khIyopadvIpasya sammukhaM labdhavantastasmAd ekenAhnA sAmopadvIpaM gatvA potaM lAgayitvA trogulliye sthitvA parasmin divase milItanagaram upAtiShThAma|

And thence having sailed away on the following day we arrived opposite Chios; and on the following day we touched at Samos, and on the next day we came into Miletus.

16 yataH paula AshiyAdeshe kAlaM yApayitum nAbhilaShan iphiShanagaraM tyaktvA yAtuM mantraNAM sthirIkR^itavAn; yasmAd yadi sAdhyaM bhavati tarhi nistArotsavasya pa nchAshattamadine sa yirUshAlamyupasthAtuM matiM kR^itavAn|

For Paul decided to sail by Ephesus, in order that it might not be necessary for him to spend the time in Asia: for he was hastening, if it might be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17 paulo milItAd iphiShaM prati lokaM prahitya samAjasya prAchInAn AhUyAnItavAn|

And having sent from Miletus into Ephesus, he called for the elders of the church.

18 teShu tasya samIpam upasthiteShu sa tebhya imAM kathAM kathitavAn, aham AshiyAdeshe prathamAgamanam ArabhyAdya yAvad yuShmAkaM sannidhau sthitvA sarvvasamaye yathAcharitavAn tad yUyaM jAnItha;

And when they came to him, he said to them, You know, that from the first day from which I came unto Asia, how I was with you all the time,

19 phalataH sarvvathA namramanAH san bahushrupAtena yihudIyAnAm kumantraNAjAtanAnAparIkShAbhiH prabhoH sevAmakaravaM|

serving the Lord with all humility, and tears, and temptations, which came upon me through the plots of the Jews:

20 kAmapi hitakathAM na gopAyitavAn tAM prachAryya saprakAshaM gR^ihe gR^ihe samupadishyeshvaraM prati manaH parAvarttanIyaM prabhau yIshukhrIShTe vishvasanIyaM

how I omitted nothing of those things which are profitable, that I should not declare unto you and teach you publicly and from house to house,

21 yihUdIyAnAm anyadeshIyalokAnA ncha samIpa etAdR^ishaM sAkShyaM dadAmi|

witnessing both to Jews, and to Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 pashyata sAmpratam AtmanAkR^iShTaH san yirUshAlamnagare yAtrAM karomi, tatra mAmprati yadyad ghaTiShyate tAnyahaM na jAnAmi;

And now, behold, I go to Jerusalem bound in spirit, not knowing the things which shall come upon me in it:

23 kintu mayA bandhanaM kleshashcha bhoktavya iti pavitra AtmA nagare nagare pramANaM dadAti|

except that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesses to me, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.

24 tathApi taM kleshamahaM tR^iNAya na manye; IshvarasyAnugrahaviShayakasya susaMvAdasya pramANaM dAtuM, prabho ryIshoH sakAshAda yasyAH sevAyAH bhAraM prApnavaM tAM sevAM sAdhayituM sAnandaM svamArgaM samApayitu ncha nijaprANAnapi priyAn na manye|

But I consider my life worthy of no consideration to myself, so as to finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear testimony to the gospel of the grace of God.

25 adhunA pashyata yeShAM samIpe. aham IshvarIyarAjyasya susaMvAdaM prachAryya bhramaNaM kR^itavAn etAdR^ishA yUyaM mama vadanaM puna rdraShTuM na prApsyatha etadapyahaM jAnAmi|

And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I came preaching the gospel of the kingdom, shall see my face no more.

26 yuShmabhyam aham Ishvarasya sarvvAn AdeshAn prakAshayituM na nyavartte|

Therefore I witness to you this clay, that I am pure from the blood of all men;

27 ahaM sarvveShAM lokAnAM raktapAtadoShAd yannirdoSha Ase tasyAdya yuShmAn sAkShiNaH karomi|

for I did not shrink to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

28 yUyaM sveShu tathA yasya vrajasyAdhyakShan AtmA yuShmAn vidhAya nyayu Nkta tatsarvvasmin sAvadhAnA bhavata, ya samAja ncha prabhu rnijaraktamUlyena krItavAna tam avata,

Take heed to yourselves, and all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost has placed you shepherds, to shepherdise the church of God, which He bought with His own blood.

29 yato mayA gamane kR^itaeva durjayA vR^ikA yuShmAkaM madhyaM pravishya vrajaM prati nirdayatAm AchariShyanti,

I know, that after my departure grievous wolves will rise up against you, not sparing the flock;

30 yuShmAkameva madhyAdapi lokA utthAya shiShyagaNam apahantuM viparItam upadekShyantItyahaM jAnAmi|

and men from you yourselves will rise up, speaking perverse things, in order to lead away disciples after them.

31 iti heto ryUyaM sachaitanyAH santastiShTata, aha ncha sAshrupAtaH san vatsaratrayaM yAvad divAnishaM pratijanaM bodhayituM na nyavartte tadapi smarata|

Watch therefore, remembering, that three years night and day I ceased not admonishing you with tears.

32 idAnIM he bhrAtaro yuShmAkaM niShThAM janayituM pavitrIkR^italokAnAM madhye. adhikAra ncha dAtuM samartho ya IshvarastasyAnugrahasya yo vAdashcha tayorubhayo ryuShmAn samArpayam|

And now I commend you to God and the word of His grace, who is able to edify you, and give you an inheritance among all the sanctified.

33 kasyApi svarNaM rUpyaM vastraM vA prati mayA lobho na kR^itaH|

I have not sought the silver, or gold, or raiment of any one;

34 kintu mama matsahacharalokAnA nchAvashyakavyayAya madIyamidaM karadvayam ashrAmyad etad yUyaM jAnItha|

you yourselves know, that these hands did minister to my necessities, and those along with me.

35 anena prakAreNa grahaNad dAnaM bhadramiti yadvAkyaM prabhu ryIshuH kathitavAn tat smarttuM daridralokAnAmupakArArthaM shramaM karttu ncha yuShmAkam uchitam etatsarvvaM yuShmAnaham upadiShTavAn|

I have shown you all things, that it so behooveth you laboring to assist the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 etAM kathAM kathayitvA sa jAnunI pAtayitvA sarvaiH saha prArthayata|

And having said these things, putting down his knees along with them all, he prayed.

37 tena te krandrantaH

And the weeping of all was great, and falling on the neck of Paul, they continued to kiss him copiously,

38 puna rmama mukhaM na drakShyatha visheShata eShA yA kathA tenAkathi tatkAraNAt shokaM vilApa ncha kR^itvA kaNThaM dhR^itvA chumbitavantaH| pashchAt te taM potaM nItavantaH|

being especially grieved at the word which he had spoken, that they were about to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
