< Acts 20 >

1 After the people at Ephesus had stopped rioting, Paul summoned the believers. He encouraged them [to continue to trust in the Lord Jesus. Soon] after that, he told them goodbye and left to go to Macedonia [province].
Bada tumultoa appacegatu cenean, Paul discipuluac beregana deithuric eta bessarcaturic, parti cedin Macedoniarát ioaiteco.
2 [After he arrived] there, he visited [each town where there were believers], and encouraged them. Then he arrived in Greece [province], [which is also called Achaia].
Eta comarca hetan ebili cenean, eta exhortatu cituenean hitz anhitzez, ethor cedin Greciara.
3 He stayed there for three months. Then he planned to return to Syria by ship, but [he heard that] some of the Jews [SYN] [in that area] were planning to kill him [as he traveled. So] he decided instead to go [by land, and he traveled] again through Macedonia.
Eta han hirur hilebethe eguinic, ceren Iuduéc celata eguiten baitzeraucaten Syriarat embarcatu içan baliz: haren abisua içan cen Macedonian gaindi itzultzera.
4 The men who were going to travel with him [to Jerusalem were] Sopater, [who was] a son of Pyrrhus, who grew up in Berea [town]; Aristarchus and Secundus, who were from Thessalonica [city; ] Gaius, [who was] from Derbe [town; ] Timothy, [who was from Galatia province; ] and Tychicus and Trophimus who were from Asia [province].
Eta lagund ceçan hura Sopater Beroenesac Asiarano: eta Thessaloniceanoetaric, Aristarquec eta Secondec, eta Gaio Derbianoac, eta Timotheoc: eta Asianoetaric, Tychiquec eta Trophimec.
5 Those [seven] men went ahead of [Paul and me, Luke, by ship from Macedonia, so] they got to Troas [before we did and] waited for [the two of] us there.
Hauc aitzinerát ioanic iguriqui guençaten Troasen.
6 [But we two(exc) traveled by land as far as] Philippi [city]. After the Jewish festival [when they eat] unleavened bread, we got on a ship [that was going from] the port near [Philippi to Troas city]. After five days we [(exc)] arrived at Troas and we met the other men who had traveled there [ahead of us]. Then we [all] stayed in Troas for seven days.
Eta gu embarca guentecen altchagarri gaberico oguien egunén ondoan Philippestic, eta ethor guentecen hetara Troasera, borz egunen buruan: non egon baiquentecen çazpi egun.
7 (On Sunday evening/On the evening of the first day of the week), we [(exc) and the other believers there] gathered together to celebrate the Lord’s Supper [and to eat other food] [SYN]. Paul spoke to the believers. He continued teaching them until midnight, because he was planning to leave [Troas] the next day.
Eta asteco lehen egunean oguiaren haustera discipuluac bilduac içan eta, Paul minço cen hequin (ceren biharamunean partitzeco baitzén) eta iraun ceçan haren proposac gauherdi arterano.
8 Many [oil] lamps were burning in the upstairs room in which we [(exc)] had gathered, [so the fumes caused some people to become sleepy].
Eta cen anhitz lampa gambera gorán, non bilduac baiquinaden.
9 A young man whose name was Eutychus was there. He was seated on [the sill of] an [open] window [on the third story of the house]. As Paul continued talking for a long time, Eutychus became sleepier and sleepier. Finally, he was sound/really asleep. He fell [out of the window] from the third story down [to the ground. Some of the believers went down] immediately and picked him up. [But he was] dead.
Eta iarriric cegoela guiçon gaztebat Eutyche deitzen cenic leiho gainean, logale handi batec harturic, Paul luçaqui minço cela, loa garaithuric eror cedin hirurgarren soillerutic beherera, eta hila altcha ceçaten.
10 Paul [also] went down. He lay down and stretched out on top of the young man and put his arms around him. Then he said [to the people who were standing around], “Do not worry, he is alive [again now]!”
Baina iautsiric Paul behera cedin haren gainera, eta bessarcaturic erran ceçan, Etzaiteztela trubla ecen hunen arimá haur baithan da.
11 Then Paul, [along with the others], went upstairs again and they ate the Lord’s Supper and other food [SYN]. Afterwards, Paul conversed with the believers until dawn. Then he left.
Guero iganic eta oguia hautsiric eta ianic, eta luçaqui minçaturic arguirano, hala parti cedin.
12 The [other] people took the young man [home], and were greatly encouraged because he was alive [again].
Eta guiçon gazteor viciric ekar ceçaten, eta haguitz consola citecen.
13 We then went to the ship. Paul did not get on the ship [with us in Troas], because he preferred to go [more quickly] overland to Assos [town]. The rest of us got on the ship and sailed for Assos.
Eta gu vncira ethorriric embarca guentecen Assoserat, handic hartzeco guenduen Paul: ecen hala ordenatu çuen, berac bide hura oinez eguin gogoz.
14 We [(exc)] met Paul in Assos. He got on [the ship] with us, and we sailed to Mitylene [town].
Bada Asson gurequin bathu cenean, hura harturic ethor guentecen Mitylenera.
15 The day after [we reached Mitylene], we [sailed from there and] arrived [at a place] near Kios [Island]. The day after that, we sailed to Samos [Island]. The next day we [left Samos and] sailed to Miletus [town].
Eta handic embarcaturic, biharamunean ethor guentecen Chiosen aurkara: eta hurrenengo egunean arriua guentecen Samosera: eta Trogillen egonic, ondoco egunean ethor guentecen Miletera.
16 [Miletus was just south of Ephesus city]. Paul had [earlier] decided that he would not get on a ship that would stop at Ephesus, because he did not want to spend [several] days in Asia [province]. If possible, he wanted to arrive in Jerusalem by the [time of the] Pentecost festival, [and the time of that festival was near].
Ecen deliberatu çuen Paulec Ephesez aitzinago iragaitera, demboraric gal ezleçançát Asian: ecen lehiatzen cen baldin possible balitzayo Mendecoste egunean Ierusalemen içatera.
17 [When the ship arrived at] Miletus, Paul sent [a messenger] to Ephesus to ask the elders of the congregation to come to talk with him.
Eta Miletetic meçu igorriric Ephesera, dei citzan Eliçaco Ancianoac.
18 When the elders arrived, Paul said to them, “You personally know how I [conducted myself among you the entire time] that I was with you, from the first day when I arrived [here] in Asia [province until the day I left].
Eta harengana ethorri ciradenean erran ciecén, Çuec badaquiçue, Asian sar nendin lehen egunaz gueroztic, nola çuequin dembora gucian içan naicén:
19 [You know how] I was serving the Lord [Jesus] very humbly and how I sometimes wept [about people. You also know how] I suffered because the Jews [SYN] [who were not believers often] tried [to harm me].
Iauna cerbitzatzen nuela humilitate gucirequin eta anhitz nigar chortarequin, eta Iuduén celata egoitetaric ethorri içan çaizquidan tentationéquin:
20 You also know that, as I preached [God’s message] to you, I never left out anything that would help you. You know that I taught you [God’s message] when many people were present, and I [also went to your] homes and taught it there.
Nola çuen probetchutaco gaucetaric eztrauçuedan deus estali, çuey declaratu eta iracatsi gabe publicoqui eta etchez etche:
21 I preached both to Jews and to non-Jews, telling them [all] that they must turn away from their sinful behavior. [I also told them they should] believe in our Lord Jesus.”
Testificatzen nerauela hambat Iuduey nola Grecoey Iaincoa baitharatco emendamendua, eta Iesus gure Iauna baitharatco fedea.
22 “And now note this: I am going to Jerusalem, because [God’s] Spirit has clearly shown me that I must go there. I do not know what will happen to me [while I am there].
Eta orain huná, ni Spirituaz estecatua, banoa Ierusalemera, hartan heltzeco çaizquidan gauçác eztaquizquidalaric:
23 But I do know that in each city [where I have stopped], the Holy Spirit has (told me/[caused the believers to] tell me) that [in Jerusalem] people will put me in prison [PRS] and will cause me to suffer [PRS].
Salbu Spiritu sainduac hiriz hiri testificatzen baitraut, dioela ecen estecadurác eta tribulationeac ene beguira daudela.
24 But I do not care even if people kill me, if first I am able to finish the work [MET] that the Lord Jesus has told me [to do. He appointed me] to tell people the good message that God [saves us] by doing for us what we do not deserve.
Baina eztut deusen ansiaric, eta neure vicia etzait precioso, acaba deçadançát neure cursua bozcariorequin, Iesus Iaunaganic recebitu dudan carguä, Iaincoaren gratiaren Euangelioa testifica dadinçát.
25 I have preached to you the message about how God desires to rule [people’s lives]. But now I know that today is the last time that you fellow believers will see me [SYN].
Eta orain huná, nic badaquit ecen guehiagoric eztuçuela ikussiren ene beguithartea çuetaric batec-ere, ceinén artetic iragan bainaiz Iaincoaren resumá predicatzen nuela.
26 So I want you all to understand that if anyone [who has heard me preach] dies [without trusting in Jesus], it is not my fault [MTY],
Halacotz testificatzen drauçuet egungo egunean, ecen chahu naicela ni gucien odoletic.
27 because I told you [LIT] everything [HYP] that God has planned for us [(inc)].
Ecen eztut dissimulatu çuey denuntia eznieçaçuen Iaunaren conseillu gucia.
28 [You leaders] must continue to believe and obey [God’s message. You must also help] all the other believers [MET] for whom the Holy Spirit has caused you to be responsible [MTY]. Watch over [MET] yourselves and the other believers [as] a shepherd [watches over his sheep]. God bought them with the blood [that flowed from] his [Son’s body on the cross].
Gogoa eieçue bada çuen buruèy, eta arthalde guciari, ceinetan Spiritu sainduac eçarri baitzaituzte Ipizpicu, Iaincoaren Eliçaren bazcatzeco, cein conquestatu baitu bere odol propriaz.
29 I know [very well] that after I leave, [people who teach] [MET] [false doctrines] will come among you and will do great harm to the believers. [They will be like] fierce wolves [that kill sheep].
Ecen nic badaquit haur, sarthuren diradela ene ioan ondoan otso dorpeac çuen artera, guppida eztutelaric arthaldea.
30 Even in your own group of believers there will be some who will deceive [other] believers by teaching them messages that are false. They will teach those messages so that some people [will believe them and] will become their followers.
Eta ceuron artetic iaiquiren dirade guiçonac denuntiatzen dituztela gauça gaichtoac, discipuluac bere ondoan erekar ditzatençát.
31 So watch out [that none of you stops believing the true message about our Lord Jesus]. Remember that day and night for [about] three years I repeatedly taught you that message, and warned you with tears [in my eyes not to believe any other message].”
Halacotz veilleçaçue, orhoit çaretelaric ecen hirur vrthez gau eta egun eznaicela cessatu nigar chortarequin çuetaric batbederaren aduertitzetic.
32 “[Now as I leave you], I ask God to protect you and to keep you believing the message [that he saves us(inc)] by doing for us what we do not deserve. [If you continue believing] the message [that I told you], you will become [spiritually mature], and God will give you the blessings that he has promised to give to all of those who belong to him.
Eta orain-ere, anayeác, gommendatzen cerauzquiotet Iaincoari eta haren gratiaren hitzaric, cein baita botheretsu çuen edificatzen acabatzeco, eta çuey saindu guciequin heretagearen emaiteco.
33 [As for myself], I have not desired anyone’s money [MTY] or [fine] clothing.

34 You yourselves know that I have worked [with my hands] [MTY] to earn the money that my companions and I needed.
Baina ceuroc badaquiçue nola ene, eta enequin ciradenén behar ciraden gauçác fornitu vkan dituztén escu hauèc.
35 In everything that I did, I showed you that we [(inc)] should work hard in order [to have enough money] to give some to those who are needy. We [(inc)] should remember that our Lord Jesus himself said, ‘You are happy when people give you what you need, but God will be happy with you when you give other people what they need.’”

36 When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of the elders and prayed.
Eta hitz hauc erran cituenean belhaurico iarriric eguin ceçan othoitze hequin guciequin.
37 They all cried a lot, and they hugged Paul and kissed him.
Orduan nigar handi guciéz eguin cedin: eta Paulen leppora bere buruäc egotziz pot eguiten ceraucaten:
38 They were especially sad because he had said that they would never see him [SYN] again. Then they [all] went with him to the ship.
