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

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

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.

³ Waato kaŋ a te handu hinza noodin, Yahudancey na me-hawyaŋ fo te a boŋ saaya kaŋ cine a goono ga soola nga ma furo hi ra ka koy Suriya. Woodin se no a miila nga ma Masidoniya fonda gana ka ye.

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

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.

⁶ Iri mo tun Filibi hi ra, buuru kaŋ sinda dalbu bato* jirbey banda. Jirbi gu da care game ra no iri to Tarawasa, iri te jirbi iyye noodin.

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.

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.

⁷ Jirbi iyyanta, kaŋ ga ti alhadi, waato kaŋ iri margu zama iri ma buuru ceeri, Bulos salaŋ i se. A ga ba nga ma biya. A na nga sanno kuukandi mo kala cin bindi.

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.

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

⁸ Fitilla boobo mo goono ga di jidan bisa ra, nango kaŋ iri margu.

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

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.

⁹ Arwasu fo mo kaŋ maa Yutukos goono ga goro fuwo finetar fo boŋ, kala jirbi tiŋo n'a di. Kaŋ Bulos soobay ka nga sanno te binde, arwaso kaŋ jirbi tiŋa di din fun hala jidan bisa fu hinzanta boŋ ka kaŋ ganda. Borey n'a sambu buuko.

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.

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

¹⁰ Bulos mo zumbu k'a ganday nga ganda ra. A ne borey se: «Wa si hẽ, zama fundo go a ra.»

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

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.

¹¹ Waato kaŋ a ye ka kaaru koyne, ka buuru ceeri ka ŋwa, gaa no a soobay ka salaŋ i se kala mo bo. Waato gaa no a dira noodin.

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.

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

¹² I kande arwaso fundikooni. I du bine-gaabi gumo.

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

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.

¹³ Iri wo furo hiyo ra ka to jina ka koy Assos ka Bulos sambu noodin, zama woodin boŋ no iri saaware, za kaŋ Bulos ne nga ga koy ce gaa.

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.

¹⁴ Waato kaŋ a kuband'iri Assos, iri mo n'a sambu ka kaa Mitilen.

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

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.

¹⁵ Kaŋ iri tun noodin, a suba iri kaa Ciyos jarga, a subasiyo iri to Samos, jirbi hinzanta mo iri to Militos.

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.

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.

¹⁶ Zama Bulos ho nga ma gana ka bisa Afasos hi ra zama nga ma si gay Aziya ra. A goono ga waasu no. D'a ga hin ka te, a ga ba nga ma du ka Pantakot* zaaro te Urusalima.

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.

¹⁷ Za Militos a donton ka Afasos Almasihu marga arkusey* ce.

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

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,

¹⁸ Waato kaŋ i kaa a do, a ne i se: «Araŋ bumbey ga bay, za hano kaŋ hane ay na ce daŋ Aziya laabo ra, gora kaŋ dumi ay te araŋ game ra jirbey kulu.

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,

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

¹⁹ Ay goono ga may Rabbi se da lalabu kulu, da mo mundi da taabey kaŋ yaŋ ay haŋ Yahudancey me-hawyaŋey do.

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

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

²⁰ Araŋ ga bay mo, yana wangu hari albarkante kulu ciyaŋ araŋ se k'araŋ dondonandi kwaara batamey ra da windi ka kaa windi mo.

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

²¹ Ay goono ga seeda Yahudancey da Garekey se ka ne i ma tuubi Irikoy se, i ma iri Rabbi Yesu cimandi mo.

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

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

²² Sohõ binde guna, Biya _Hanno|_ goono g'ay boy ka kond'ay Urusalima. Ay si bay mo haŋ kaŋ ga du ay noodin.

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

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

²³ Kala day Biya Hanna goono ga seeda ay se kwaara ka kaa kwaara ka ne: sisiriyaŋ da taabi goono g'ay batu.

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

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.

²⁴ Amma ay s'ay fundo himandi hay kulu, sanda hay fo kaŋ gonda nafa, hal ay m'ay bata nda goyo mo kaŋ ay ta Rabbi Yesu do toonandi, ay ma Irikoy gomno Baaru Hanna wo seeda.

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.

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

²⁵ Sohõ mo guna, ay ga bay kaŋ araŋ kulu si ye ka di ay moyduma koyne, araŋ kaŋ yaŋ game ra ay gana ka Irikoy koytara waazu.

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

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

²⁶ Woodin sabbay se no, ay ga seeda araŋ se hunkuna ka ne: ay ga hanan. Boro kulu alhakku si ay boŋ.

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

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

²⁷ Zama ay mana wangu ka Irikoy saawara kulu ci araŋ se.

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

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.

²⁸ Araŋ ma haggoy d'araŋ boŋ, da kali kulu mo, kaŋ boŋ Biya Hanna n'araŋ daŋ jine boroyaŋ, zama araŋ ma Irikoy marga kuru, kaŋ a day da nga bumbo kuro.

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.

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

²⁹ Ay ga bay kaŋ ay dirawo banda sakali* futaykooniyaŋ ga furo araŋ game ra, i si kalo naŋ bo.

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

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

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

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

³¹ Woodin se binde, araŋ ma batu. Araŋ ma fongu kaŋ jiiri hinza ay mana araŋ afo-fo kulu yaamaryaŋo naŋ cin da zaari. Ay na woodin te nda mo mundi mo.

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

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.

³² Sohõ binde ay g'araŋ talfi Irikoy gaa, d'a gomno sanno mo gaa kaŋ gonda dabari k'araŋ cina k'araŋ no tubu mo hanantey kulu banda.

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.

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

³³ Ay mana boro kulu nzarfu, wala a wura, wala a bankaaray bini.

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

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

³⁴ Araŋ bumbey ga bay kaŋ ay kambey wo no ka hayey kaŋ ay ga laami kulu goy te, hala nd'ay banda borey wane.

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

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.’ ”

³⁵ Hay kulu ra ay na fonda cabe araŋ se kaŋ yaadin no araŋ ga hima ka goy d'a ka du ka londibuuney gaa. Araŋ ma fongu nda Rabbi Yesu sanno mo, kaŋ nga bumbo ci ka ne: ‹Nooyaŋ ga bisa tayaŋ albarka.› »

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.

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

³⁶ Waato kaŋ a na woodin ci, nga nd'ey kulu gurfa ka te adduwa.

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

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

³⁷ I kulu hẽ mo da hẽeni konno, i na Bulos jinda di k'a garba sunsum.

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

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.

³⁸ Bine saray boobo go i gaa sanno kaŋ Bulos te i se din sabbay se, kaŋ a ci ka ne i si ye ka di nga koyne. I n'a dum ka koy hala hiyo do.

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.
