Asomafoɔ 20

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

And after the tumult had ceased, Paul called to him the disciples, and having embraced them departed to go into Macedonia.

2 Ɔkyinkyini faa amantam no mu, tuu asuafoɔ no fo de hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran. Afei, ɔbɛduruu Hela. Ɔdii hɔ abosome mmiɛnsa.

And when he had gone through those regions, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.

3 Ɛberɛ a ɔresiesie ne ho akɔ Siria no, ɔtee sɛ Yudafoɔ no abɔ ne ho pɔ; enti ɔsane nʼakyi kɔfaa Makedonia kɔeɛ.

And when he had stayed three months, a plot having been laid for him by the Jews as he was about to sail for Syria, he resolved to return through Macedonia.

4 Piro a ɔfiri Beroia no ba Sopater ne Paulo na ɛkɔeɛ. Wɔn a wɔka ne ho kɔeɛ no nso bi ne Aristarko ne Sekundo a wɔfiri Tesalonika ne Gaio a ɔfiri Derbe ne Timoteo ne Tihiko ne Trofimo a wɔfiri Asiaman mu no.

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

5 Saa nnipa yi dii ɛkan kɔtwɛnee yɛn wɔ Troa.

These having gone forward waited for us at Troas.

6 Yɛdii Apiti Afahyɛ no wieeɛ no, yɛfirii Filipi, na nnanum akyi no, yɛkɔtoo wɔn wɔ Troa, dii nnawɔtwe wɔ hɔ.

But we set sail from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.

7 Nnawɔtwe no mu da a ɛdi ɛkan no, yɛhyiaam sɛ anuanom didiiɛ. Esiane sɛ na adeɛ kye a Paulo bɛfiri kuro no mu no enti, ɔkasa kyerɛɛ anuanom no kɔsii ɔdasuom.

And on the first day of the week, when we had assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, being about to depart on the morrow, and continued the discourse until midnight.

8 Na nkanea pii wɔ abansoro dan a yɛahyia wɔ hɔ no mu.

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

9 Ɛberɛ a Paulo rekasa no, na aberanteɛ bi a wɔfrɛ no Eutiko te mfɛnsere ano retɔ nko. Ɔdaa hatee maa ɔfiri abansoro dan a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no so bɛhwee fam. Wɔmaa ne so no, na wawu.

And there sat on the window a certain young man named Eutychus, having fallen into a deep sleep; and as Paul was discoursing at great length, he sank down with sleep, and fell from thee third story, and was taken up dead.

10 Paulo siane baa fam, kɔbutuu ne so, maa ne so kaa sɛ, “Monnsuro, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnwuiɛ!”

But Paul went down and fell on him, and having embraced him, said, Make no lamentations; for his life is in him.

11 Afei, ɔsane foro kɔɔ abansoro no so kɔbubuu burodo ne asuafoɔ no diiɛ. Paulo toaa ne kasa no so kɔsii adekyeɛ ansa na ɔregya wɔn hɔ.

And having gone up again, and broken the bread and eaten, he talked a long while even till break of day, and so departed.

12 Anuanom no de anigyeɛ de aberanteɛ a wɔnyanee no no kɔɔ efie.

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

13 Yɛde ɛhyɛn dii ɛkan kɔɔ Aso sɛ yɛrekɔfa Paulo wɔ hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na waka akyerɛ yɛn sɛ ɔrefa fam akɔ hɔ.

We however, going forward to the ship, put to sea for Assos, intending to take in Paul from that place; for so he had appointed, intending himself to go on foot.

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

And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board, and came to Mitylene;

15 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, yɛkɔduruu Kio. Ne nnanu so no, yɛbɛduruu Samo; na nʼadekyeeɛ no, yɛbɛduruu Mileto.

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

16 Esiane sɛ na Paulo ho pere no sɛ, sɛ ɛbɛtumi a ɔbɛduru Yerusalem akɔdi Pentekoste Afahyɛ no wɔ hɔ no enti, ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrennyina Efeso, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenkyɛ wɔ Asia.

For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not be detained in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

17 Paulo soma firii Mileto kɔɔ Efeso kɔka kyerɛɛ asafo mpanimfoɔ no sɛ wɔnhyia no.

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

18 Wɔbaeɛ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛfiri da a ɛdi ɛkan a mebaa Asia no, monim ɛkwan a mefaa so ne mo tenaeɛ.

And when they had come to him, he said to them: Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you the whole time,

19 Ɛwom sɛ ɛnam Yudafoɔ no pɔbɔ so maa mehunuu amane bebree de, nanso mede ahobrɛaseɛ ne nisuo yɛɛ mʼadwuma sɛ Awurade ɔsomfoɔ.

serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews;

20 Monim sɛ ɛberɛ a na merekyerɛkyerɛ mo wɔ dwam ne afie mu no, mamfa biribiara a ɛho bɛba mo mfasoɔ no anhinta mo.

how I kept back nothing that was profitable, but have made it known to you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house;

21 Mebɔɔ Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ no kɔkɔ sɛ wɔntwe wɔn ho mfiri wɔn bɔne ho, mfa wɔn ho mma Onyankopɔn, na wɔnnye Yesu Kristo nni.

testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance toward God, and faith in our Lord Jesus.

22 “Afei, ɛsiane sɛ Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ me no enti, merekɔ Yerusalem a mennim asɛm a ɛbɛto me wɔ hɔ.

And now behold, I go, bound in my spirit, to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will befall me there;

23 Deɛ menim ara ne sɛ kuropɔn biara a mɛkɔ so no, Honhom Kronkron bɔ me kɔkɔ sɛ wɔde me bɛto afiase na mahunu amane.

save that the Holy Spirit witnesseth to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

24 Sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mɛtumi maduru botaeɛ a ɛsi mʼanim no ho na mawie dwuma a Awurade Yesu de maa me sɛ menka Onyankopɔn dom ho asɛmpa no enti, mammu me kra sɛ adeɛ a ɛsom bo.

But I count life of no value to me, so that I may finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.

25 “Menim sɛ mo a maka Onyankopɔn Ahennie no ho asɛm akyerɛ mo no mu biara renhunu me bio.

And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, will see my face no more.

26 Ɛno enti, ɛnnɛ, mereka makyerɛ mo sɛ, sɛ ɛba sɛ mo mu bi yera a, na ɛmfiri me.

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

27 Ɛfiri sɛ, mamfa Onyankopɔn asɛm no mu biribiara anhinta mo.

for I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

28 Monhwɛ mo ho so ne nnwankuo a Honhom Kronkron de wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa sɛ ahwɛfoɔ no yie. Monhwɛ wɔn yie, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn de ne Ba no mogya na agye wɔn.

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the church of the Lord, which he purchased with his own blood.

29 Menim sɛ me kɔ akyi no, atorɔ akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a wɔn ho yɛ hu sɛ mpataku bɛwura mo mu abɛsɛe mo.

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

30 Ɛberɛ bi bɛba a, mo mu binom bɛsɔre, nam atorɔ so atwe asuafoɔ no mu bi adi wɔn akyi.

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

31 Ɛno enti, monna mo ho so! Monkae sɛ, mfirinhyia mmiɛnsa a medii wɔ mo nkyɛn no, menam amanehunu ne yea mu tuu mo fo awia ne anadwo.

Therefore be watchful, and remember that for the space of three years, night and day, I ceased not to warn every one with tears.

32 “Afei, mede mo hyɛ Onyankopɔn ne ne dom nsɛm a ɛtumi hyɛ mo gyidie den na ɛma monya nʼagyapadeɛ a wasiesie ama ahotefoɔ no nsa.

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

33 Mʼani ammere obi dwetɛ anaa sika anaa ntoma.

I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

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

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

35 Mede mʼabrabɔ ayɛ nhwɛsoɔ akyerɛ mo sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyere yɛn ho yɛ adwuma de boa ahiafoɔ na yɛkae sɛ, Awurade Yesu ankasa kaa sɛ, ‘Ɔma mu wɔ nhyira sene ɔgyeɛ.’”

In all ways I showed you that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 Paulo kasa wieeɛ no ɔne wɔn nyinaa buu nkotodwe bɔɔ mpaeɛ.

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

37 Wɔn nyinaa suiɛ, bam no, maa no nanteyie.

And they all wept sorely, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him;

38 Deɛ ɛyɛɛ wɔn awerɛhoɔ koraa ne asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔrenhunu no bio no. Afei, wɔn nyinaa kɔgyaa no ɛhyɛn no mu.

sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they were to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
