Kau ʻAposetolo 20

1 Pea ʻi he tuku ʻae maveuveu, naʻe ui ʻe Paula ke haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau ākonga, ʻonau feʻofoʻofani pea mahuʻi ia ke ʻalu ki Masitōnia.

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

2 Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi potu ko ia ʻi heʻene ʻalu, pea lahi ʻene akonaki kiate kinautolu, pea ʻalu ia ki Kilisi.

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

3 ‌ʻO nofo ai ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu. Pea kuo toitoiʻi ia ʻe he kakai Siu, ʻi heʻene te u folau ki Silia, pea loto ia ke toe foki ange ki Masitōnia.

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 Pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ki ʻEsia ʻa Sopeta mei Pelea; mo ʻAlisitako mo Sekunio mei Tesalonika; mo Keio mei Teape, mo Timote; mo Tikiko mo Talofimo mei ʻEsia;

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 Pea naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻakinautolu ni, ʻo tatali mai kiate kimautolu ʻi Taloasi.

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

6 Pea naʻa mau folau mei Filipai, ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho [kai ]mā taʻemeʻafakatupu, pea mau aʻu atu kiate kinautolu ʻi Taloasi ʻi he ʻaho ʻe nima; pea naʻa mau nofo ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.

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 Pea ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe uike, naʻe kātoa ai ʻae kau ākonga ke tofitofi mā, pea malanga ʻa Paula kiate kinautolu, kuo ʻamanaki ʻalu ia ʻi he ʻapongipongi; pea malanga ia ʻo aʻu ki he tuʻuapō mālie.

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 Pea naʻe lahi ʻae maama ʻi he potu fale ki ʻolunga, kuo nau fakataha ai.

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

9 Pea naʻe heka ʻi he kātupa ʻae talavou ʻe tokotaha, ko hono hingoa ko ʻUtiko, pea naʻe mohe maʻu ia: pea ʻi he malanga fuoloa ʻa Paula, naʻe hinga hifo ia ʻi he mohe, pea tō ki lalo mei hono tolu ʻoe fata ʻoe fale, pea hiki hake ia kuo mate.

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 Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Paula, ʻo foʻohifo ʻiate ia, mo fāʻufua, mo ne pehē, “ʻOua te mou mamahi; he ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻa ʻene moʻui.”

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

11 Pea kuo ʻalu hake ia ʻo tofitofi ʻae mā, mo kai, pea nau talanoa ʻo fuoloa, ʻo aʻu ki he maʻa ʻae ʻaho, pea toki ʻalu ia.

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

12 Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae talavou kuo moʻui, pea naʻe lahi ʻenau fiemālie.

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

13 Pea ne mau muʻomuʻa ki he vaka, ʻo folau ki ʻAsosi, ʻo mau tokanga ke fakaheka ai ʻa Paula: ko ʻene fekau ia, he ko hono loto ke hala ʻuta pe ia.

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 Pea kuo mau fetaulaki ki ʻAsosi, pea mau fakaheka ia, pea ʻalu ki Meteline.

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

15 Pea mau folau mei ai, pea pongipongi hake, naʻa mau hoko ʻo feʻunga mo Kaio; pea mau aʻu ki Semo ʻi hono ʻaho ua, pea mau nofo ʻi Talokilio; pea aʻu atu ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi ki Mileto.

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 He kuo pau ʻae loto ʻo Paula ke ʻoua naʻa folau ki ʻEfesō, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fuoloa ai ia ki ʻEsia: he naʻa ne fakatoʻotoʻo, ʻo kapau ʻe mafai ʻe ia, ke hoko ki Selūsalema ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe Penitekosi.

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 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia mei Mileto ke haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe siasi mei ʻEfesō.

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

18 Pea kuo nau haʻu kiate ia, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Talu ʻae ʻuluaki ʻaho ne u haʻu ai ki ʻEsia, kuo mou ʻilo ia ʻae anga ʻo ʻeku nofo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē,

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 ‌ʻA ʻeku tauhi ʻae ʻEiki ʻi he loto angavaivai lahi, mo e loʻimata lahi, mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi, naʻe tō kiate au ʻi he toitoiʻi au ʻe he kakai Siu:

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

20 Mo ʻeku taʻetaʻofi ki ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ʻaonga, ka kuo u fakaʻilo kiate kimoutolu, mo ako fakahā kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻi he ngaahi fale,

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 ‌ʻO fakapapau atu ki he kakai Siu, pea mo e kakai Kiliki foki, ʻae fakatomala ki he ʻOtua, mo e tui ki hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.

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

22 Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoku ou ʻalu haʻisia ʻi loto ki Selūsalema, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko mai ai kiate au:

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

23 Ka ko eni, ʻoku fakamoʻoni mai ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻo pehē, ʻoku tatali pe kiate au ʻae ngaahi haʻi mo e meʻa fakamamahi ʻi he kolo kotoa pē.

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

24 Ka ʻoku ʻikai ueʻi ai au, pea ʻoku ʻikai foki te u lau ko e meʻa mahuʻinga kiate au ʻeku moʻui, kae kehe ke u fakaʻosi ʻi he fiefia ʻeku lakanga, mo e ngāue kuo u maʻu mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu, ke u fakamoʻoni ki he ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.

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 “Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata ki hoku mata, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē kuo u malangaʻaki ki ai ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.

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 Ko ia ʻoku ou fakapapau fakamoʻomoʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, ʻoku ou maʻa au mei he toto ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.

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

27 He naʻe ʻikai te u taʻofi ʻae fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae finangalo kotoa pē ʻoe ʻOtua.

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

28 Ko ia ke mou vakai kiate kimoutolu, pea mo e fanga sipi kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo fakanofo ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ko hono kau tauhi, ke mou fafanga ʻae siasi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatauʻaki hono taʻataʻa.

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 He ʻoku ou ʻilo eni, ka hili ʻeku ʻalu, ʻe haʻu kiate kimoutolu ʻae fanga ulofi fakamālohi, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau mamae ki he fanga sipi.

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

30 Pea ʻe tupu foki ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae kau tangata, te nau ako ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakahala, ke tohoaki ʻae kau ākonga ke muimui kiate kinautolu.

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

31 Ko ia ke mou leʻo, pea manatu kuo tolu taʻu mo e ʻikai te u tuku ʻeku valokiekina ʻakimoutolu taki taha mo e loʻimata ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho.

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

32 “Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ou tuku ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻOtua, pea mo e folofola ʻo ʻene ʻofa, ʻaia ʻoku ne faʻa fai ke langa hake ʻakimoutolu, pea ke tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻae tofiʻa fakataha mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi.

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 Naʻe ʻikai te u manumanu ki he siliva, pe ki he koula, pe ki he kofu ʻo ha tokotaha.

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

34 ‌ʻIo, ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻekimoutolu, ko e ongo nima ni kuo na tauhi ki heʻeku ngaahi masiva, pea mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate au.

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

35 Kuo u fakahā ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻi he peheʻi ʻa hoʻomou ngāue, ʻoku totonu ke mou tokoni ki he vaivai, pea manatuʻi ʻae lea ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu, ʻi heʻene pehē, ‘ʻOku monūʻia lahi hake ʻae foaki atu ʻi he maʻu [ʻae foaki mai].’”

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 Pea kuo ʻosi ʻene lea ko ia, naʻa ne tuʻulutui, ʻo hūfia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.

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

37 Pea naʻa nau tangi mamahi kotoa pē, mo nau fāʻufua ʻi he kia ʻo Paula, ʻo ʻuma kiate ia,

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

38 ‌ʻO lahi taha pe ʻenau mamahi koeʻuhi ko ʻene lea naʻe pehē, ʻe ʻikai te nau toe mamata ki hono mata. Pea naʻa nau ō mo ia ki he vaka.

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.
