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

¹ Bi yengu-yengu ba dalee, Pool woo taalibe ya fa moom, dooleel leen. Bi mu ko defee mu tàggoo ak ñoom, jóge fa, dellu diiwaanu Maseduwan.

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

² Noonu mu jaar ca bérab yooyu, di dooleel nit ñi ak wax yu bare; ba noppi mu dem réewu Geres,

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 toog fa ñetti weer. Waaye bi mu nekkee ci kaw tànki dugg gaal jëm diiwaanu Siri, te Yawut yi lalal ko pexe, mu fas yéenee dellu, jaare Maseduwan.

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.

⁴ Booba nag ñii ñoo ànd ak moom: Sopater, doomu Pirus mi dëkk Bere; Aristàrk ak Segond, ñi dëkk Tesalonig; Gayus, mi dëkk Derbë, ak Timote; te it Tisig ak Torofim ñi dëkk Asi.

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

⁵ Ñooñu nag jiitu, di nu nég dëkku Torowas.

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 Waaye naka nun, gannaaw màggalu Yawut, ga ñuy wax Mburu ya amul lawiir, nu dugg gaal ci Filib, def ci juróomi fan, fekksi leen Torowas, nu am fa juróom-ñaari fan.

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 Ca bés bu jëkk ca ayu-bés ga, booloo nanu ngir damm mburu ma. Te Pool, mi bëggoon a dem ca ëllëg sa, di diisoo ak ñoom te waxtaanam law ba ci xaaju guddi.

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

⁸ Ca néeg bu kawe, ba nu booloo nag, amoon na fa làmp yu bare.

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 Noonu waxambaane wu tudd Ëtikus te toog ca palenteer ba, gëmmeentu bay jeyaxu. Bi Pool di gën a yaatal waxtaanam nag, nelaw daldi ko jàpp, mu xàwweekoo ca ñetteelu taax ma, daanu, ñu yékkati ko, fekk mu dee.

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

¹⁰ Waaye Pool wàcc, daldi sëgg ci kawam, roof ko loxoom ne leen: «Bàyyileen jooy yi, mu ngi dund.»

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 Noonu mu yéegaat, damm mburu ma, lekk; ba noppi delluwaat ci waxtaanam, di ko yaatal ba ca njël, door a tàggoo.

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

¹² Naka waxambaane wa, ñu indi ko muy dund, ba seen xol sedd guyy.

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 Nun nag nu jiitu, dugg gaal jëm Asos, fa nu Pool santoon, nu jële ko fa; fekk moom fas na yéeney dox, ba agsi fa.

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

¹⁴ Noonu mu fekksi nu ci Asos, nu jël ko ca gaal ga, dem Mitilen.

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 Gannaaw loolu gaal ga jóge fa, nu agsi ca ëllëg sa janook dunu Kiyos. Bés ba ca tegu nag nu jàll ba Samos, te ñetteelu fan ba nu àgg Mile.

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 Ndaxte Pool fasoon na yéenee teggi Efes, ngir bañ a yàgg ci diiwaanu Asi; mu ngi doon gaawantu, ngir màggal, gi ñuy wax Pàntakot fekk ko Yerusalem.

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

¹⁷ Bi Pool eggee Mile nag, mu yónnee ca Efes, ngir woo njiiti mbooloom ñi gëm.

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 Bi ñu ñëwee, mu ne leen: «Yéen xam ngeen bu baax, ni ma doon doxale diirub sama ngan gépp ci seen biir, li dale ci bés bi ma jëkkee teg tànk ci Asi ba tey.

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

¹⁹ Jaamu naa Boroom bi ci woyof gu mat ak ay rangooñ, dékku ay nattu yu ma pexey Yawut yi indil.

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

²⁰ Xam ngeen ne, musuma leen a nëbb dara lu leen di jariñ, di leen jàngal ci kanamu ñépp ak ca kër ya.

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

²¹ Dénk naa Yawut yi ak Gereg yi ne leen, ñu tuub seeni bàkkaar, ba woññiku ci Yàlla te gëm sunu Boroom Yeesu.

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

²² «Léegi maa ngi nii di dem Yerusalem, ci li ma Xelu Yàlla mi xiirtal, te xawma lu ma fay dal.

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

²³ Xam naa rekk ne, ci dëkkoo-dëkk Xel mu Sell mi xamal na ma ne, ay buum ak ay metit ñu ngi may nég.

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 Waaye sama bakkan soxalu ma, su fekkee bey naa sama sas, ba matal liggéey, bi ma Boroom bi dénk, maanaam ma seedeel ci ñépp xebaar bu baax, bi ëmb yiwu Yàlla.

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 «Fi mu ne nag xam naa ne, dootuleen gis sama kanam, yéen ñépp ñi ma jaaroon ci seen biir, di yégle nguuru Yàlla.

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

²⁶ Moo tax may dëggal tey jii ne, wàccoo naa ak yéen ñépp bés pénc.

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

²⁷ Ndaxte ñeebluwuma leen, ci di leen xamal lépp li Yàlla digle.

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 Wottuleen nag seen bopp te wottu coggal jépp, ji leen Xel mu Sell mi def sàmm, ngeen sàmm mbooloo, mi Yàlla jotal boppam ak deretu Doomam.

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

²⁹ Xam naa ne, bu ma leen wonee gannaaw, bukki yu soxor dinañu tàbbi ci coggal ji te duñu ci ñeeblu kenn.

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

³⁰ Ay nit dinañu jóg ci seen biir sax, di wax luy sànke, ngir sàkku ay taalibe.

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

³¹ Foogleen nag, di fàttaliku ne diirub ñetti at, guddi ak bëccëg, musumaa noppi di leen artu kenn ku nekk ci yéen ak ay rangooñ.

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 «Léegi nag maa ngi leen di dénk Boroom bi, moom ak kàddug yiwam, gi leen man a dëgëral te may leen cér ci biir gaayi Yàlla yu sell yépp.

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

³³ Nammuma xaalisu kenn mbaa wurusam mbaa koddaayam.

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

³⁴ Xam ngeen ne, faj naa samay soxla ak soxlay ñi ànd ak man ci sama loxo yii.

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 Ci lépp won naa leen royukaay, ci li nu war a dimbali ñi néew doole te fàttaliku li Yeesu Boroom bi wax moom ci boppam ne: “Joxe moo gën a barkeel nangu.”»

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

³⁶ Bi mu waxee loolu, mu sukk ak ñoom ñépp, ñaan ci Yàlla.

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

³⁷ Te ñépp jooy bu metti, di laxasu ci baatu Pool, fóon ko bu baax.

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 Li leen gën a teg aw tiis mooy li mu leen wax: «Dootuleen gis sama kanam.» Noonu ñu gunge ko ba ca gaal ga.
