preritAH 20

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

And after the uproar was ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.

2 tena sthAnena gachChan taddeshIyAn shiShyAn bahUpadishya yUnAnIyadesham upasthitavAn|

And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, 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 when he had spent three months [there], and a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

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

And there accompanied him as far as Asia Sopater of Beroea, [the son] of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

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

But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.

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

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we tarried seven days.

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

And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight.

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

And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where we were gathered together.

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|

And there sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus, borne down with deep sleep; and as Paul discoursed yet longer, being borne down by his sleep he 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 went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him.

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

And when he was gone up, and had broken the bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

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

And they brought the lad alive, and were not a little comforted.

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

But we, going before to the ship, set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land.

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

And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

And sailing from thence, we came the following day over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after we came to 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 had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

17 paulo milItAd iphiShaM prati lokaM prahitya samAjasya prAchInAn AhUyAnItavAn|

And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him 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 were come to him, he said unto them, Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, after what manner I was with you all the time,

19 phalataH sarvvathA namramanAH san bahushrupAtena yihudIyAnAm kumantraNAjAtanAnAparIkShAbhiH prabhoH sevAmakaravaM|

serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by 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 that I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house,

21 yihUdIyAnAm anyadeshIyalokAnA ncha samIpa etAdR^ishaM sAkShyaM dadAmi|

testifying 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 bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

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

save that the Holy Ghost testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide 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 hold not my life of any account, as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify 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 ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more.

26 yuShmabhyam aham Ishvarasya sarvvAn AdeshAn prakAshayituM na nyavartte|

Wherefore I testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

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

For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole 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 unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in the which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed the church of God, which he purchased 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 departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock;

30 yuShmAkameva madhyAdapi lokA utthAya shiShyagaNam apahantuM viparItam upadekShyantItyahaM jAnAmi|

and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

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

Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day 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 to the word of his grace, which is able to build [you] up, and to give [you] the inheritance among all them that are sanctified.

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

I coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.

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

Ye yourselves know that these hands ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

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

In all things I gave you an example, how that so labouring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 etAM kathAM kathayitvA sa jAnunI pAtayitvA sarvaiH saha prArthayata|

And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

37 tena te krandrantaH

And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,

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|

Sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they should behold his face no more. And they brought him on his way unto the ship.
