Asomafo 20

1 Basabasayɛ yi akyi no, Paulo frɛɛ asuafo no kaa nsɛm de hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran, kraa wɔn fii hɔ kɔɔ Makedonia.

And after the tumult was over, Paul sent for the disciples to him, and having embraced them, departed to go into Macedonia.

2 Okyinkyin faa amantam no mu, tuu asuafo no fo de hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran. Afei obeduu Hela. Odii hɔ asram abiɛsa.

And having passed through those parts, and given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.

3 Bere a ɔresiesie ne ho akɔ Siria no, ɔtee sɛ Yudafo no abɔ ne ho pɔw; enti ɔsan nʼakyi kɔfaa Makedonia kɔe.

And when he had spent three months there, the Jews having laid wait for him as he was going to embark for Syria, he determined to return by Macedonia.

4 Piro a ofi Beroia no ba Sopater ne Paulo na wɔkɔe. Wɔn a wɔka ne ho kɔe no nso bi ne Aristarko ne Sekundo a wofi Tesalonika ne Gaio a ofi Derbe ne Timoteo ne Tihiko ne Trofimo a wofi Asiaman mu no.

And there accompanied him to Asia, Sopater the Berean, and of the Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy: and the Asiatics,

5 Saa nnipa yi dii kan kɔtwɛn yɛn wɔ Troa.

Tychicus and Trophimus, who went before and stayed for us at Troas.

6 Yedii Apiti Afahyɛ no wiei no, yefii Filipi, na nnaanum akyi no, yɛkɔtoo wɔn wɔ Troa, dii nnaawɔtwe wɔ hɔ.

And after the days of unleavened bread we sailed from Philippi, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we spent seven days.

7 Nnaawɔtwe no mu da a edi kan no, yehyiaa mu sɛ anuanom, didii. Esiane sɛ na ade kye a Paulo befi kurow no mu no nti, ɔkasa kyerɛɛ anuanom no kosii ɔdasu mu.

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples were assembled together to break bread, Paul being about to depart on the morrow, preached unto them, and continued his discourse till midnight.

8 Na akanea pii wɔ abansoro dan a wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no mu.

And there were many lamps in the upper room where they were assembled.

9 Bere a Paulo rekasa no, na aberante bi a wɔfrɛ no Eutiko te mfɛnsere ano retɔ nko. Ɔdaa hatee ma ofii abansoro dan a ɛto so abiɛsa no so bɛhwee fam. Wɔmaa no so no na wawu.

And a young man named Eutychus, who sat in a window, falling into a deep sleep, as Paul was discoursing for a long time, sunk down and fell from the third story, and was taken up dead.

10 Paulo sian baa fam, kobutuw no so, maa no so kae se, “Munnsuro, efisɛ onwuu ɛ!”

And Paul went down and leaned over him, and took him up and said, Be not disturbed; for his life is in him.

11 Afei ɔsan foro kɔɔ abansoro no so kobubuu brodo ne asuafo no dii. Paulo toaa ne kasa no so kosii adekyee ansa na ɔregyaw wɔn hɔ.

Then he went up again, and having broken bread and eaten, and conversed with them a considerable time, even till break of day, he departed.

12 Anuanom no de anigye de aberante a wonyan no no kɔɔ fie.

And they brought in the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 Yɛde hyɛn dii kan kɔɔ Aso sɛ yɛrekɔfa Paulo wɔ hɔ, efisɛ na waka akyerɛ yɛn se ɔrefa fam akɔ hɔ.

But we went before to the ship, and sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul: for so he had appointed, designing himself to go on foot.

14 Ɔbɛkaa yɛn ho wɔ Aso na yɛne no toaa so kɔɔ Mitilene.

And as soon as he joined us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mitylene.

15 Ade kyee no, yekoduu Kio. Ne nnaanu so no yeduu Samo na nʼadekyee no, yekoduu Mileto.

And sailing from thence we came the next day over against Chios; and the day following we arrived at Samos, and stopping at Trogyllium, we came the day after to Miletus.

16 Esiane sɛ na Paulo ho pere no sɛ onyae a anka obedu Yerusalem akodi Pentekoste Afahyɛ no wɔ hɔ no nti, ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrennyina Efeso, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenkyɛ wɔ Asia.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that he might not spend time in Asia: for he endeavoured, if it were possible, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17 Paulo soma fii Mileto kɔɔ Efeso kɔka kyerɛɛ asafo mpanyimfo no se wonhyia no.

But he sent from Miletus to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

18 Wɔbae no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Efi da a edi kan a mebaa Asia no, munim ɔkwan a mefaa so ne mo tenae.

And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know in what manner I behaved among you all the time, from the first day that I came into Asia.

19 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ ɛnam Yudafo no pɔwbɔ so ma mihuu amane bebree de, nanso mede ahobrɛase ne nusu yɛɛ mʼadwuma sɛ Awurade somfo.

Serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and trials which befel me by the ambushes of the Jews.

20 Munim sɛ bere a na merekyerɛkyerɛ mo wɔ gua mu ne afi mu no, mamfa biribiara a so bɛba mo mfaso no anhintaw mo.

And how I with-held nothing that was useful, but have declared it to you, and have taught you publicly and from house to house:

21 Mebɔɔ Yudafo ne amanamanmufo no kɔkɔ sɛ wɔntwe wɔn ho mfi wɔn bɔne ho na wɔmfa wɔn ho mma Onyankopɔn, na wonnye Yesu Kristo nni.

testifying both to the Jews and Greeks, repentance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 “Afei esiane sɛ Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ me no nti, merekɔ Yerusalem a minnim asɛm a ɛbɛto me wɔ hɔ.

And now, being constrained by the spirit, behold I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will befal me there:

23 Nea minim ara ne sɛ kuropɔn biara a mɛkɔ so no, Honhom Kronkron bɔ me kɔkɔ sɛ wɔde me bɛto afiase na mahu amane.

save that the holy Spirit testifieth in every city, that bonds and afflictions await me.

24 Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a metumi adu botae a esi mʼanim no ho na mawie dwuma a Awurade Yesu de maa me se menka Onyankopɔn dom ho asɛmpa no nti, mammu me kra sɛ ade a ɛsom bo.

But none of these things move me, nor do I account my life dear, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 “Minim sɛ mo a maka Onyankopɔn ahenni no ho asɛm akyerɛ mo no mu biara renhu me bio.

And now behold I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

26 Ɛno nti nnɛ, mereka akyerɛ mo se, sɛ ɛba sɛ mo mu bi yera a, na emfi me.

Wherefore I call you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men.

27 Efisɛ mamfa Onyankopɔn asɛm no mu biribiara anhintaw mo.

For I have not failed to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

28 Monhwɛ mo ho so ne nguankuw a Honhom Kronkron de wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa sɛ ahwɛfo no yiye. Monhwɛ wɔn yiye, efisɛ Onyankopɔn de ne Ba no mogya na agye wɔn.

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the holy Spirit hath appointed you bishops, to feed the church of God, which He purchased with his own blood.

29 Minim sɛ me kɔ akyi no, atoro akyerɛkyerɛfo a wɔn ho yɛ hu sɛ mpataku bewura mo mu abɛsɛe mo.

For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Bere bi bɛba a mo mu ebinom bɛsɔre, nam atoro so atwe asuafo no mu bi adi wɔn akyi.

And from among yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them.

31 Ɛno nti monna mo ho so! Monkae sɛ, mfirihyia abiɛsa a midii wɔ mo nkyɛn no, menam amanehunu ne yaw mu tuu mo fo awia ne anadwo.

Watch therefore, remembering that for the space of three years I ceased not by night and by day to warn every one with tears.

32 “Afei mede mo hyɛ Onyankopɔn ne ne dom nsɛm a etumi hyɛ mo gyidi den na ɛma munya nʼagyapade a wasiesie ama ahotefo no nsa.

And now, my brethren, I recommend you to God, and to the word of his grace: who is able to edify you, and to give you an inheritance among all that are sanctified.

33 Mʼani ammere obi dwetɛ anaa sika anaa ntama.

I have coveted no one's silver, or gold, or apparel:

34 Mo ara mudi adanse sɛ, me nsa ano adwuma so na menam mehwɛɛ me ho ne wɔn a wɔka me ho no.

and ye yourselves know that these hands have ministred to my necessities, and to those that were with me.

35 Mede mʼabrabɔ ayɛ nhwɛso akyerɛ mo sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyere yɛn ho yɛ adwuma de boa ahiafo na yɛkae sɛ, Awurade Yesu ankasa kae se, ‘Ɔma mu wɔ nhyira sen ogye.’”

I have shewed you in all things, that by labouring thus ye ought to support the infirm; and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, who said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 Paulo kasa wiei no, ɔne wɔn nyinaa buu nkotodwe bɔɔ mpae.

And when he had said these things, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

37 Wɔn nyinaa sui, bam no, maa no nanteyiye.

And they were all much grieved, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him: sorrowing most of all at the word which he spake,

38 Nea ɛyɛɛ wɔn awerɛhow koraa ne asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se wɔrenhu no bio no. Afei wɔn nyinaa kogyaa no hyɛn no mu.

that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
