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

¹Ko je pa ta hrup nehal, pokliče Pavel učence in jih potolaži, in poslovivši se odide, da potuje v Macedonijo.

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

²In prehodi te strani in opominja učence z mnogimi besedami, in pride v Grško.

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.

³In prebivši tu tri mesece, sklene vrniti se skozi Macedonijo, ker so ga Judje zalezovali, ko se je hotel po morju odpeljati v Sirijo.

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.

⁴Spremljali pa so ga do Azije: Sopater Pirijev iz Bereje, od Solunčanov pa Aristarh in Sekund, in Gaj iz Derbe in Timotej, od Azijcev pa Tihik in Trofim.

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

⁵Ti so bili šli naprej in nas čakali v Troadi.

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.

⁶A mi smo se po dneh presnih kruhov odpeljali iz Filip, in prišli smo k njim v Troado v petih dneh; tu smo se pomudili sedem dni.

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.

⁷A prvi dan po soboti, ko smo se zbrali, da bi lomili kruh, jim je govoril Pavel, ker je hotel drugi dan odpotovati, in je podaljšal govor svoj do polnoči;

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

⁸bilo je pa dosti svetilnic v gornji izbi, kjer smo bili zbrani.

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.

⁹Sedel je pa neki mladenič, po imenu Evtih, na oknu, in ko je Pavel le še govoril, trdno zaspi; in premagan od spanja, pade s tretjega nadstropja doli, in vzdignejo ga mrtvega.

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

¹⁰Pavel pa gre doli in se skloni nanj ter ga objame in reče: Pomirite se; kajti duša njegova je v njem.

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.

¹¹Nato gre zopet gori, prelomi kruh in jé, govori ž njimi še mnogo, dokler se ne zdani, in tako odpotuje.

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

¹²A mladeniča so pripeljali živega, in bili so ne malo potolaženi.

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.

¹³A mi smo že prej stopili na ladjo in se odpeljali v Ason, kjer smo imeli sprejeti Pavla; tako je bil namreč naročil, hoteč sam priti peš.

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

¹⁴Ko se je pa bil v Asonu k nam pridružil in smo ga vzeli na ladjo, smo prišli v Mitileno;

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.

¹⁵in odpeljavši se odtod, smo prišli drugi dan Hiju nasproti, in dan pozneje smo pripluli k Samu, in ko smo v Trogiliji prenočili, smo prišli drugi dan v Milet.

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.

¹⁶Odločil je bil namreč Pavel, da se bomo peljali mimo Efeza, da se ne bi v Aziji zamudil; kajti hitel je, da bi bil, ako bi mu bilo mogoče, Binkoštni dan v Jeruzalemu.

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

¹⁷Iz Mileta pa pošlje v Efez in pokliče starejšine cerkve.

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,

¹⁸Ko pa pridejo k njemu, jim reče: Vi veste, kako sem od prvega dne, ko sem prišel v Azijo, ves čas bil z vami,

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

¹⁹služeč gospodu z vso ponižnostjo in mnogimi solzami in med izkušnjami, ki so me zadele vsled zalezovanja Judov;

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

²⁰kako nisem nič koristnega izpustil, da ne bi bil vam oznanil in vas učil očitno in po hišah,

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

²¹pričujoč Judom in Grkom izpreobrnjenje k Bogu in vero v Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa.

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

²²In sedaj, glejte, zvezan v duhu, grem v Jeruzalem, ne vedoč, kaj se mi tam prigodi,

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

²³razen da mi sveti Duh po vseh mestih priča in pravi, da me čakajo vezi in stiske.

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.

²⁴Ali življenja svojega ne štejem vrednega zase niti besede, da le dokončam tek svoj in službo, ki sem jo prejel od Gospoda Jezusa, da popričam evangelij milosti Božje.

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

²⁵In sedaj, glejte, jaz vem, da ne boste več videli obličja mojega vi vsi, ki sem med vami hodil, propovedujoč kraljestvo Božje.

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

²⁶Zato vam pričujem današnji dan, da sem čist krvi vseh;

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

²⁷zakaj ničesar nisem zamolčal, da vam ne bi bil oznanil vse volje Božje.

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.

²⁸Pazite torej nase in na vso čredo, v kateri vas je sveti Duh postavil za škofe [Škof (grško: episkopos) pomeni: nadzornik, predstojnik.], da pasete cerkev Božjo, ki si jo je pridobil z lastno krvjo.

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

²⁹Jaz vem, da pridejo po odhodu mojem med vas grabljivi volkovi, ki ne bodo prizanašali čredi;

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

³⁰in izmed vas samih vstanejo možje, ki bodo govorili popačene nauke, da bi potegnili učence za seboj.

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

³¹Zato čuvajte, spominjajoč se, da tri leta noč in dan nisem nehal s solzami opominjati slehernega iz vas.

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.

³²In sedaj vas, bratje, priporočam Bogu in besedi milosti njegove, ki more dovršiti vaš napredek in dati delež med vsemi posvečenimi.

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

³³Srebra ali zlata ali oblačila nisem od nikogar poželel;

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

³⁴sami veste, da so tele roke prislužile, kar je bilo treba meni in tistim, ki so bili z menoj.

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.’ ”

³⁵V vsem sem vam dal zgled, da se je treba tako truditi in podpirati slabotne in spominjati se besed Gospoda Jezusa, da je on rekel: Veliko bolje je dati nego vzeti.

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

³⁶In ko je to povedal, poklekne na kolena in moli ž njimi vsemi.

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

³⁷In velik jok je nastal med vsemi, in oklenivši se vratu Pavlovega, so ga poljubovali,žalostni največ zavoljo besede, ki jo je rekel, da ne bodo več videli obličja njegovega. In spremili so ga na ladjo.

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.

³⁸žalostni največ zavoljo besede, ki jo je rekel, da ne bodo več videli obličja njegovega. In spremili so ga na ladjo.
