¹And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called near the disciples, and having embraced [them], went forth to go on to Macedonia;

¹ሁከቱም ከቀረ በኋላ ጳውሎስ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን አስመጥቶ መከራቸው፥ ተሰናብቶአቸውም ወደ መቄዶንያ ይሄድ ዘንድ ወጣ።

²and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came to Greece;

²ያንም አገር እያለፈ በብዙ ቃል ከመከራቸው በኋላ ወደ ግሪክ አገር መጣ።

³having made also three months` [stay] — a counsel of the Jews having been against him — being about to set forth to Syria, there came [to him] a resolution of returning through Macedonia.

³በዚያም ሦስት ወር ተቀምጦ ወደ ሶርያ በመርከብ ሊሄድ ባሰበ ጊዜ፥ አይሁድ ሴራ ስላደረጉበት በመቄዶንያ አልፎ ይመለስ ዘንድ ቆረጠ።

⁴And there were accompanying him unto Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asiatics Tychicus and Trophimus;

⁴የሸኙትም የቤርያው ሱሲጳጥሮስ ከተሰሎንቄ ሰዎችም አርስጥሮኮስና ሲኮንዱስ የደርቤኑም ጋይዮስና ጢሞቴዎስ የእስያ ሰዎችም ቲኪቆስ ጥሮፊሞስም ነበሩ፤

⁵these, having gone before, did remain for us in Troas,

⁵እነዚህም ወደ ፊታችን አልፈው በጢሮአዳ ቆዩን።

⁶and we sailed, after the days of the unleavened food, from Philippi, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.

⁶እኛ ግን ከቂጣ በዓል ቀን በኋላ ከፊልጵስዩስ በመርከብ ተነሥተን በአምስት ቀን ወደ ጢሮአዳ ወደ እነርሱ ደረስንና በዚያ ሰባት ቀን ተቀመጥን።

⁷And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight,

⁷ከሳምንቱም በመጀመሪያ ቀን እንጀራ ለመቁረስ ተሰብስበን ሳለን፥ ጳውሎስ በነገው ሊሄድ ስላሰበ ከእነርሱ ጋር ይነጋገር ነበር፥ እስከ መንፈቀ ሌሊትም ነገሩን አስረዘመ።

⁸and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together,

⁸ተሰብስበንም በነበርንበት ሰገነት እጅግ መብራት ነበረ።

⁹and there was sitting a certain youth, by name Eutychus, upon the window — being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long — he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up dead.

⁹አውጤኪስ የሚሉትም አንድ ጎበዝ በመስኮት ተቀምጦ ታላቅ እንቅልፍ አንቀላፍቶ ነበር፤ ጳውሎስም ነገርን ባስረዘመ ጊዜ እንቅልፍ ከብዶት ከሦስተኛው ደርብ ወደ ታች ወደቀ፥ ሞቶም አነሡት።

¹⁰And Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having embraced [him], said, `Make no tumult, for his life is in him;`

¹⁰ጳውሎስም ወርዶ በላዩ ወደቀ፥ አቅፎም። ነፍሱ አለችበትና አትንጫጩ አላቸው።

¹¹and having come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked — till daylight, so he went forth,

¹¹ወጥቶም እንጀራ ቆርሶም በላ፤ ብዙ ጊዜም እስኪነጋ ድረስ ተነጋገረ እንዲህም ሄደ።

¹²and they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.

¹²ብላቴናውንም ደኅና ሆኖ ወሰዱት እጅግም ተጽናኑ።

¹³And we having gone before unto the ship, did sail to Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;

¹³እኛ ግን ጳውሎስን ከዚያ እንቀበለው ዘንድ ስላለን ወደ መርከብ ቀድመን ሄድንና ወደ አሶን ተነሣን፤ እርሱ በመሬት ይሄድ ዘንድ ስላሰበ እንደዚህ አዞ ነበርና።

¹⁴and when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene,

¹⁴በአሶንም ባገኘን ጊዜ ተቀብለነው ወደ ሚጢሊኒ መጣን፤

¹⁵and thence having sailed, on the morrow we came over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus,

¹⁵በማግሥቱም ከዚያ በባሕር ተነሥተን በኪዩ ፊት ለፊት ደረስን፥ በነገውም ወደ ሳሞን ተሻገርን በትሮጊሊዮም አድረን በማግሥቱ ወደ ሚሊጢን መጣን።

¹⁶for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem.

¹⁶ጳውሎስ በእስያ እጅግ እንዳይቀመጥ ኤፌሶንን ይተው ዘንድ ቆርጦ ነበርና ቢቻለውም በዓለ ኀምሳን በኢየሩሳሌም ይውል ዘንድ ይቸኩል ነበርና።

¹⁷And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

¹⁷ከሚሊጢንም ወደ ኤፌሶን ልኮ የቤተክርስቲያንን ሽማግሌዎች አስጠራቸው፤

¹⁸and when they were come unto him, he said to them, `Ye — ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was;

¹⁸ወደ እርሱም በመጡ ጊዜ እንዲህ አላቸው። ወደ እስያ ከገባሁበት ከመጀመሪያ ቀን ጀምሮ፥ በትሕትና ሁሉና በእንባ ከአይሁድም ሴራ በደረሰብኝ ፈተና ለጌታ እየተገዛሁ ዘመኑን ሁሉ ከእናንተ ጋር እንዴት እንደ ኖርሁ እናንተው ታውቃላችሁ፤

¹⁹serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against [me];

²⁰ወደ እግዚአብሔር ዘንድ ንስሐንና በጌታችን በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ማመንን ለአይሁድና ለግሪክ ሰዎች እየመሰከርሁ በጉባኤም በየቤታችሁም አወራሁላችሁና አስተማርኋችሁ እንጂ፥ ከሚጠቅማችሁ ነገር አንዳች ስንኳ አላስቀረሁባችሁም።

²⁰how nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house,

²²አሁንም፥ እነሆ፥ እኔ በመንፈስ ታስሬ ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም እሄዳለሁ፥ በዚያም የሚያገኘኝ ምን እንደ ሆነ አላውቅም፤

²¹testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

²³ነገር ግን መንፈስ ቅዱስ። እስራትና መከራ ይቆይሃል ብሎ በየከተማው ሁሉ ይመሰክርልኛል።

²²`And now, lo, I — bound in the Spirit — go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing,

²⁴ነገር ግን ሩጫዬንና ከጌታ ከኢየሱስ የተቀበልሁትን አገልግሎት እርሱም የእግዚአብሔርን ጸጋ ወንጌልን መመስከር እፈጽም ዘንድ ነፍሴን በእኔ ዘንድ እንደማትከብር እንደ ከንቱ ነገር እቆጥራለሁ።

²³save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain;

²⁵አሁንም፥ እነሆ፥ እኔ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት እየሰበክሁ በመካከላችሁ የዞርሁ ሁላችሁ ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ ፊቴን እንዳትዩ አውቃለሁ።

²⁴but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

²⁶ስለዚህ እኔ ከሰው ሁሉ ደም ንጹሕ እንደ ሆንሁ ዛሬ በዚች ቀን እመሰክርላችኋለሁ።

²⁵`And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, — ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God;

²⁷የእግዚአብሔርን ምክር ሁሉ ነግሬአችኋለሁና፥ ምንም አላስቀረሁባችሁም።

²⁶wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I [am] clear from the blood of all,

²⁸በገዛ ደሙ የዋጃትን የእግዚአብሔርን ቤተ ክርስቲያን ትጠብቁአት ዘንድ መንፈስ ቅዱስ እናንተን ጳጳሳት አድርጎ ለሾመባት ለመንጋው ሁሉና ለራሳችሁ ተጠንቀቁ።

²⁷for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.

²⁹ከሄድሁ በኋላ ለመንጋው የማይራሩ ጨካኞች ተኩላዎች እንዲገቡባችሁ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርትንም ወደ ኋላቸው ይስቡ ዘንድ ጠማማ ነገርን የሚናገሩ ሰዎች በመካከላችሁ እንዲነሡ እኔ አውቃለሁ።

²⁸`Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,

³¹ስለዚህ ሦስት ዓመት ሌሊትና ቀን በእንባ እያንዳንዳችሁን ከመገሠጽ እንዳላቋረጥሁ እያሰባችሁ ትጉ።

²⁹for I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves unto you, not sparing the flock,

³²አሁንም ለእግዚአብሔርና ያንጻችሁ ዘንድ በቅዱሳንም ሁሉ መካከል ርስትን ይሰጣችሁ ዘንድ ለሚችል ለጸጋው ቃል አደራ ሰጥቻችኋለሁ።

³⁰and of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

³³ከማንም ብር ወይም ወርቅ ወይም ልብስ አልተመኘሁም፤

³¹`Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;

³⁴እነዚህ እጆቼ በሚያስፈልገኝ ነገር ለእኔና ከእኔ ጋር ላሉት እንዳገለገሉ እናንተ ታውቃላችሁ።

³²and now, I commend you, brethren, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified.

³⁵እንዲሁ እየደከማችሁ ድውዮችን ልትረዱና እርሱ ራሱ። ከሚቀበል ይልቅ የሚሰጥ ብፁዕ ነው እንዳለ የጌታን የኢየሱስን ቃል ልታስቡ ይገባችሁ ዘንድ በሁሉ አሳየኋችሁ።

³³`The silver or gold or garments of no one did I covet;

³⁶ይህንም ብሎ ተንበርክኮ ከሁላቸው ጋር ጸለየ።

³⁴and ye yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, minister did these hands;

³⁷ሁሉም እጅግ አለቀሱ፥ ጳውሎስንም አንገቱን አቅፈው ይስሙት ነበር፤

³⁵all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth [us] to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.`

³⁸ይልቁንም። ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ ፊቴን አታዩም ስላላቸው ነገር እጅግ አዘኑ። እስከ መርከብም ድረስ ሸኙት።

³⁶And these things having said, having bowed his knees, with them all, he did pray,

³⁷and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen upon the neck of Paul, they were kissing him,

³⁸sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said — that they are about no more to see his face; and they were accompanying him to the ship.
