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

¹And after the uproar ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

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

²And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.

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

³And when he had spent three months [there,] and a plot was laid against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

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

⁴And 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.

⁵እነዚህም ወደ ፊታችን አልፈው በጢሮአዳ ቆዩን።

⁵But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.

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

⁶And 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.

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

⁷And 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.

⁸ተሰብስበንም በነበርንበት ሰገነት እጅግ መብራት ነበረ።

⁸And there were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together.

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

⁹And 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.

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

¹⁰And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him.

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

¹¹And 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.

¹²ብላቴናውንም ደኅና ሆኖ ወሰዱት እጅግም ተጽናኑ።

¹²And they brought the lad alive, and were not a little comforted.

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

¹³But 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.

¹⁴በአሶንም ባገኘን ጊዜ ተቀብለነው ወደ ሚጢሊኒ መጣን፤

¹⁴And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

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

¹⁵And 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.

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

¹⁶For 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.

¹⁷ከሚሊጢንም ወደ ኤፌሶን ልኮ የቤተክርስቲያንን ሽማግሌዎች አስጠራቸው፤

¹⁷And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him the elders of the church.

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፤

¹⁸And 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,

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

¹⁹serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews;

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

²⁰how I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house,

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

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

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

²²And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

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

²³save that the Holy Spirit testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

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

²⁴But 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.

²⁷የእግዚአብሔርን ምክር ሁሉ ነግሬአችኋለሁና፥ ምንም አላስቀረሁባችሁም።

²⁵And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more.

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

²⁶Wherefore I testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

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

²⁷For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God.

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

²⁸Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit hath made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood.

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

²⁹I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock;

³³ከማንም ብር ወይም ወርቅ ወይም ልብስ አልተመኘሁም፤

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

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

³¹Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.

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

³²And 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.

³⁶ይህንም ብሎ ተንበርክኮ ከሁላቸው ጋር ጸለየ።

³³I coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

³⁷ሁሉም እጅግ አለቀሱ፥ ጳውሎስንም አንገቱን አቅፈው ይስሙት ነበር፤

³⁴Ye yourselves know that these hands ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

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

³⁵In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

³⁶And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and prayed with them all.

³⁷And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,

³⁸sorrowing 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.
