¹وبعد ما انتهى الشغب دعا بولس التلاميذ وودعهم وخرج ليذهب الى مكدونية‎.

¹After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

²‎ولما كان قد اجتاز في تلك النواحي ووعظهم بكلام كثير جاء الى هلاس

²When he had gone through those parts, and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.

³فصرف ثلاثة اشهر. ثم اذ حصلت مكيدة من اليهود عليه وهو مزمع ان يصعد الى سورية صار رأي ان يرجع على طريق مكدونية‎.

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

⁴‎فرافقه الى اسيا سوباترس البيري. ومن اهل تسالونيكي ارسترخس وسكوندس وغايوس الدربي وتيموثاوس. ومن اهل اسيا تيخيكس وتروفيمس‎.

⁴These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea; Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians; Gaius of Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

⁵‎هؤلاء سبقوا وانتظرونا في ترواس‎.

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

⁶‎واما نحن فسافرنا في البحر بعد ايام الفطير من فيلبي ووافيناهم في خمسة ايام الى ترواس حيث صرفنا سبعة ايام

⁶We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

⁷وفي اول الاسبوع اذ كان التلاميذ مجتمعين ليكسروا خبزا خاطبهم بولس وهو مزمع ان يمضي في الغد واطال الكلام الى نصف الليل‎.

⁷On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and continued his speech until midnight.

⁸‎وكانت مصابيح كثيرة في العليّة التي كانوا مجتمعين فيها‎.

⁸There were many lights in the upper room where we TR reads “they” instead of “we” were gathered together.

⁹‎وكان شاب اسمه افتيخوس جالسا في الطاقة متثقلا بنوم عميق. واذ كان بولس يخاطب خطابا طويلا غلب عليه النوم فسقط من الطبقة الثالثة الى اسفل وحمل ميتا‎.

⁹A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.

¹⁰‎فنزل بولس ووقع عليه واعتنقه قائلا لا تضطربوا لان نفسه فيه‎.

¹⁰Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”

¹¹‎ثم صعد وكسر خبزا واكل وتكلم كثيرا الى الفجر. وهكذا خرج‎.

¹¹When he had gone up, and had broken bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

¹²‎وأتوا بالفتى حيّا وتعزوا تعزية ليست بقليلة

¹²They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.

¹³واما نحن فسبقنا الى السفينة واقلعنا الى اسوس مزمعين ان نأخذ بولس من هناك لانه كان قد رتب هكذا مزمعا ان يمشي‎.

¹³But we who went ahead to the ship set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.

¹⁴‎فلما وافانا الى اسوس اخذناه وأتينا الى ميتيليني‎.

¹⁴When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard, and came to Mitylene.

¹⁵‎ثم سافرنا من هناك في البحر واقبلنا في الغد الى مقابل خيوس‏‎. ‎وفي اليوم الآخر وصلنا الى ساموس واقمنا في تروجيليون ثم في اليوم التالي جئنا الى ميليتس‎.

¹⁵Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.

¹⁶‎لان بولس عزم ان يتجاوز افسس في البحر لئلا يعرض له ان يصرف وقتا في اسيا. لانه كان يسرع حتى اذا امكنه يكون في اورشليم في يوم الخمسين

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 in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

¹⁷ومن ميليتس ارسل الى افسس واستدعى قسوس الكنيسة‎.

¹⁷From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to himself the elders of the assembly.

¹⁸‎فلما جاءوا اليه قال لهم انتم تعلمون من اول يوم دخلت اسيا كيف كنت معكم كل الزمان‎.

¹⁸When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,

¹⁹‎اخدم الرب بكل تواضع ودموع كثيرة وبتجارب اصابتني بمكايد اليهود.

¹⁹serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

²⁰كيف لم أؤخر شيئا من الفوائد الا واخبرتكم وعلمتكم به جهرا وفي كل بيت‎.

²⁰how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

²¹‎شاهدا لليهود واليونانيين بالتوبة الى الله والايمان الذي بربنا يسوع المسيح‎.

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

²²‎والآن ها انا اذهب الى اورشليم مقيدا بالروح لا اعلم ماذا يصادفني هناك‎.

²²Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

²³‎غير ان الروح القدس يشهد في كل مدينة قائلا ان وثقا وشدائد تنتظرني‎.

²³except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

²⁴‎ولكنني لست احتسب لشيء ولا نفسي ثمينة عندي حتى اتمم بفرح سعيي والخدمة التي اخذتها من الرب يسوع لاشهد ببشارة نعمة الله‎.

²⁴But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

²⁵‎والآن ها انا اعلم انكم لا ترون وجهي ايضا انتم جميعا الذين مررت بينكم كارزا بملكوت الله‎.

²⁵“Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching the Kingdom of God, will see my face no more.

²⁶‎لذلك أشهدكم اليوم هذا اني بريء من دم الجميع‎.

²⁶Therefore I testify to you this day that I am clean from the blood of all men,

²⁷‎لاني لم أؤخر ان اخبركم بكل مشورة الله‎.

²⁷for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

²⁸‎احترزوا اذا لانفسكم ولجميع الرعية التي اقامكم الروح القدس فيها اساقفة لترعوا كنيسة الله التي اقتناها بدمه‎.

²⁸Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and TR, NU omit “the Lord and” God which he purchased with his own blood.

²⁹‎لاني اعلم هذا انه بعد ذهابي سيدخل بينكم ذئاب خاطفة لا تشفق على الرعية‎.

²⁹For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

³⁰‎ومنكم انتم سيقوم رجال يتكلمون بامور ملتوية ليجتذبوا التلاميذ وراءهم‎.

³⁰Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

³¹‎لذلك اسهروا متذكرين اني ثلاث سنين ليلا ونهارا لم افتر عن ان انذر بدموع كل واحد‎.

³¹Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

³²‎والآن استودعكم يا اخوتي للّه ولكلمة نعمته القادرة ان تبنيكم وتعطيكم ميراثا مع جميع المقدسين‎.

³²Now, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” I entrust you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

³³‎فضة او ذهب او لباس احد لم اشته‎.

³³I coveted no one’s silver, or gold, or clothing.

³⁴‎انتم تعلمون ان حاجاتي وحاجات الذين معي خدمتها هاتان اليدان‎.

³⁴You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

³⁵‎في كل شيء اريتكم انه هكذا ينبغي انكم تتعبون وتعضدون الضعفاء متذكرين كلمات الرب يسوع انه قال مغبوط هو العطاء اكثر من الاخذ‎.

³⁵In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you 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.’ ”

³⁶‎ولما قال هذا جثا على ركبتيه مع جميعهم وصلّى‎.

³⁶When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

³⁷‎وكان بكاء عظيم من الجميع ووقعوا على عنق بولس يقبلونه

³⁷They all wept a lot, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

³⁸متوجعين ولا سيما من الكلمة التي قالها انهم لن يروا وجهه ايضا. ثم شيعوه الى السفينة

³⁸sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
