Acts 20
1 And after the tumult was ceased, Paul calling to him the disciples, and exhorting them, took his leave, and set forward to go into Macedonia.
Basabasayɛ yi akyi no, Paulo frɛɛ asuafoɔ no kaa nsɛm de hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran, kraa wɔn firii hɔ kɔɔ Makedonia.
2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece;
Ɔkyinkyini faa amantam no mu, tuu asuafoɔ no fo de hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran. Afei, ɔbɛduruu Hela. Ɔdii hɔ abosome mmiɛnsa.
3 Where, when he had spent three months, the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria; so he took a resolution to return through Macedonia.
Ɛberɛ a ɔresiesie ne ho akɔ Siria no, ɔtee sɛ Yudafoɔ no abɔ ne ho pɔ; enti ɔsane nʼakyi kɔfaa Makedonia kɔeɛ.
4 And there accompanied him Sopater the son of Pyrrhus, of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
Piro a ɔfiri Beroia no ba Sopater ne Paulo na ɛkɔeɛ. Wɔn a wɔka ne ho kɔeɛ no nso bi ne Aristarko ne Sekundo a wɔfiri Tesalonika ne Gaio a ɔfiri Derbe ne Timoteo ne Tihiko ne Trofimo a wɔfiri Asiaman mu no.
5 These going before, stayed for us at Troas.
Saa nnipa yi dii ɛkan kɔtwɛnee yɛn wɔ Troa.
6 But we sailed from Philippi after the days of the Azymes, and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.
Yɛdii Apiti Afahyɛ no wieeɛ no, yɛfirii Filipi, na nnanum akyi no, yɛkɔtoo wɔn wɔ Troa, dii nnawɔtwe wɔ hɔ.
7 And on the first day of the week, when we were assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, being to depart on the morrow: and he continued his speech until midnight.
Nnawɔtwe no mu da a ɛdi ɛkan no, yɛhyiaam sɛ anuanom didiiɛ. Esiane sɛ na adeɛ kye a Paulo bɛfiri kuro no mu no enti, ɔkasa kyerɛɛ anuanom no kɔsii ɔdasuom.
8 And there were a great number of lamps in the upper chamber where we were assembled.
Na nkanea pii wɔ abansoro dan a yɛahyia wɔ hɔ no mu.
9 And a certain young man named Eutychus, sitting on the window, being oppressed with a deep sleep, (as Paul was long preaching, ) by occasion of his sleep fell from the third loft down, and was taken up dead.
Ɛberɛ a Paulo rekasa no, na aberanteɛ bi a wɔfrɛ no Eutiko te mfɛnsere ano retɔ nko. Ɔdaa hatee maa ɔfiri abansoro dan a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no so bɛhwee fam. Wɔmaa ne so no, na wawu.
10 To whom, when Paul had gone down, he laid himself upon him, and embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his soul is in him.
Paulo siane baa fam, kɔbutuu ne so, maa ne so kaa sɛ, “Monnsuro, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnwuiɛ!”
11 Then going up, and breaking bread and tasting, and having talked a long time to them, until daylight, so he departed.
Afei, ɔsane foro kɔɔ abansoro no so kɔbubuu burodo ne asuafoɔ no diiɛ. Paulo toaa ne kasa no so kɔsii adekyeɛ ansa na ɔregya wɔn hɔ.
12 And they brought the youth alive, and were not a little comforted.
Anuanom no de anigyeɛ de aberanteɛ a wɔnyanee no no kɔɔ efie.
13 But we, going aboard the ship, sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul; for so he had appointed, himself purposing to travel by land.
Yɛde ɛhyɛn dii ɛkan kɔɔ Aso sɛ yɛrekɔfa Paulo wɔ hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na waka akyerɛ yɛn sɛ ɔrefa fam akɔ hɔ.
14 And when he had met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
Ɔbɛkaa yɛn ho wɔ Aso na yɛne no toaa so kɔɔ Mitilene.
15 And sailing thence, the day following we came over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos; and the day following we came to Miletus.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, yɛkɔduruu Kio. Ne nnanu so no, yɛbɛduruu Samo; na nʼadekyeeɛ no, yɛbɛduruu Mileto.
16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, lest he should be stayed any time in Asia. For he hasted, if it were possible for him, to keep the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.
Esiane sɛ na Paulo ho pere no sɛ, sɛ ɛbɛtumi a ɔbɛduru Yerusalem akɔdi Pentekoste Afahyɛ no wɔ hɔ no enti, ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrennyina Efeso, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenkyɛ wɔ Asia.
17 And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church.
Paulo soma firii Mileto kɔɔ Efeso kɔka kyerɛɛ asafo mpanimfoɔ no sɛ wɔnhyia no.
18 And when they were come to him, and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time,
Wɔbaeɛ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛfiri da a ɛdi ɛkan a mebaa Asia no, monim ɛkwan a mefaa so ne mo tenaeɛ.
19 Serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and temptations which befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews;
Ɛwom sɛ ɛnam Yudafoɔ no pɔbɔ so maa mehunuu amane bebree de, nanso mede ahobrɛaseɛ ne nisuo yɛɛ mʼadwuma sɛ Awurade ɔsomfoɔ.
20 How I have kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and taught you publicly, and from house to house,
Monim sɛ ɛberɛ a na merekyerɛkyerɛ mo wɔ dwam ne afie mu no, mamfa biribiara a ɛho bɛba mo mfasoɔ no anhinta mo.
21 Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mebɔɔ Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ no kɔkɔ sɛ wɔntwe wɔn ho mfiri wɔn bɔne ho, mfa wɔn ho mma Onyankopɔn, na wɔnnye Yesu Kristo nni.
22 And now, behold, being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem: not knowing the things which shall befall me there:
“Afei, ɛsiane sɛ Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ me no enti, merekɔ Yerusalem a mennim asɛm a ɛbɛto me wɔ hɔ.
23 Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem.
Deɛ menim ara ne sɛ kuropɔn biara a mɛkɔ so no, Honhom Kronkron bɔ me kɔkɔ sɛ wɔde me bɛto afiase na mahunu amane.
24 But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mɛtumi maduru botaeɛ a ɛsi mʼanim no ho na mawie dwuma a Awurade Yesu de maa me sɛ menka Onyankopɔn dom ho asɛmpa no enti, mammu me kra sɛ adeɛ a ɛsom bo.
25 And now behold, I know that all you, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
“Menim sɛ mo a maka Onyankopɔn Ahennie no ho asɛm akyerɛ mo no mu biara renhunu me bio.
26 Wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men;
Ɛno enti, ɛnnɛ, mereka makyerɛ mo sɛ, sɛ ɛba sɛ mo mu bi yera a, na ɛmfiri me.
27 For I have not spared to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Ɛfiri sɛ, mamfa Onyankopɔn asɛm no mu biribiara anhinta mo.
28 Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Monhwɛ mo ho so ne nnwankuo a Honhom Kronkron de wɔn ahyɛ mo nsa sɛ ahwɛfoɔ no yie. Monhwɛ wɔn yie, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn de ne Ba no mogya na agye wɔn.
29 I know that, after my departure, ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Menim sɛ me kɔ akyi no, atorɔ akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a wɔn ho yɛ hu sɛ mpataku bɛwura mo mu abɛsɛe mo.
30 And of your own selves shall arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Ɛberɛ bi bɛba a, mo mu binom bɛsɔre, nam atorɔ so atwe asuafoɔ no mu bi adi wɔn akyi.
31 Therefore watch, keeping in memory, that for three years I ceased not, with tears to admonish every one of you night and day.
Ɛno enti, monna mo ho so! Monkae sɛ, mfirinhyia mmiɛnsa a medii wɔ mo nkyɛn no, menam amanehunu ne yea mu tuu mo fo awia ne anadwo.
32 And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up, and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified.
“Afei, mede mo hyɛ Onyankopɔn ne ne dom nsɛm a ɛtumi hyɛ mo gyidie den na ɛma monya nʼagyapadeɛ a wasiesie ama ahotefoɔ no nsa.
33 I have not coveted any man’s silver, gold, or apparel, as
Mʼani ammere obi dwetɛ anaa sika anaa ntoma.
34 You yourselves know: for such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.
Mo ara modi adanseɛ sɛ, me nsa ano adwuma so na menam mehwɛɛ me ho ne wɔn a wɔka me ho no.
35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.
Mede mʼabrabɔ ayɛ nhwɛsoɔ akyerɛ mo sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyere yɛn ho yɛ adwuma de boa ahiafoɔ na yɛkae sɛ, Awurade Yesu ankasa kaa sɛ, ‘Ɔma mu wɔ nhyira sene ɔgyeɛ.’”
36 And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with them all.
Paulo kasa wieeɛ no ɔne wɔn nyinaa buu nkotodwe bɔɔ mpaeɛ.
37 And there was much weeping among them all; and falling on the neck of Paul, they kissed him,
Wɔn nyinaa suiɛ, bam no, maa no nanteyie.
38 Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship.
Deɛ ɛyɛɛ wɔn awerɛhoɔ koraa ne asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔrenhunu no bio no. Afei, wɔn nyinaa kɔgyaa no ɛhyɛn no mu.
