Acts 20

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

Pea ʻi he tuku ʻae maveuveu, naʻe ui ʻe Paula ke haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau ākonga, ʻonau feʻofoʻofani pea mahuʻi ia ke ʻalu ki Masitōnia.

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

Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi potu ko ia ʻi heʻene ʻalu, pea lahi ʻene akonaki kiate kinautolu, pea ʻalu ia ki Kilisi.

3 When 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.

‌ʻO nofo ai ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu. Pea kuo toitoiʻi ia ʻe he kakai Siu, ʻi heʻene te u folau ki Silia, pea loto ia ke toe foki ange ki Masitōnia.

4 These 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.

Pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ki ʻEsia ʻa Sopeta mei Pelea; mo ʻAlisitako mo Sekunio mei Tesalonika; mo Keio mei Teape, mo Timote; mo Tikiko mo Talofimo mei ʻEsia;

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

Pea naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻakinautolu ni, ʻo tatali mai kiate kimautolu ʻi Taloasi.

6 We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

Pea naʻa mau folau mei Filipai, ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho [kai ]mā taʻemeʻafakatupu, pea mau aʻu atu kiate kinautolu ʻi Taloasi ʻi he ʻaho ʻe nima; pea naʻa mau nofo ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.

7 On 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.

Pea ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe uike, naʻe kātoa ai ʻae kau ākonga ke tofitofi mā, pea malanga ʻa Paula kiate kinautolu, kuo ʻamanaki ʻalu ia ʻi he ʻapongipongi; pea malanga ia ʻo aʻu ki he tuʻuapō mālie.

8 There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.

Pea naʻe lahi ʻae maama ʻi he potu fale ki ʻolunga, kuo nau fakataha ai.

9 A 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 floor and was taken up dead.

Pea naʻe heka ʻi he kātupa ʻae talavou ʻe tokotaha, ko hono hingoa ko ʻUtiko, pea naʻe mohe maʻu ia: pea ʻi he malanga fuoloa ʻa Paula, naʻe hinga hifo ia ʻi he mohe, pea tō ki lalo mei hono tolu ʻoe fata ʻoe fale, pea hiki hake ia kuo mate.

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

Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Paula, ʻo foʻohifo ʻiate ia, mo fāʻufua, mo ne pehē, “ʻOua te mou mamahi; he ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻa ʻene moʻui.”

11 When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

Pea kuo ʻalu hake ia ʻo tofitofi ʻae mā, mo kai, pea nau talanoa ʻo fuoloa, ʻo aʻu ki he maʻa ʻae ʻaho, pea toki ʻalu ia.

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

Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae talavou kuo moʻui, pea naʻe lahi ʻenau fiemālie.

13 But we, going 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.

Pea ne mau muʻomuʻa ki he vaka, ʻo folau ki ʻAsosi, ʻo mau tokanga ke fakaheka ai ʻa Paula: ko ʻene fekau ia, he ko hono loto ke hala ʻuta pe ia.

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

Pea kuo mau fetaulaki ki ʻAsosi, pea mau fakaheka ia, pea ʻalu ki Meteline.

15 Sailing 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.

Pea mau folau mei ai, pea pongipongi hake, naʻa mau hoko ʻo feʻunga mo Kaio; pea mau aʻu ki Semo ʻi hono ʻaho ua, pea mau nofo ʻi Talokilio; pea aʻu atu ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi ki Mileto.

16 For 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 Shavu`ot.

He kuo pau ʻae loto ʻo Paula ke ʻoua naʻa folau ki ʻEfesō, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fuoloa ai ia ki ʻEsia: he naʻa ne fakatoʻotoʻo, ʻo kapau ʻe mafai ʻe ia, ke hoko ki Selūsalema ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe Penitekosi.

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

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia mei Mileto ke haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe siasi mei ʻEfesō.

18 When 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,

Pea kuo nau haʻu kiate ia, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Talu ʻae ʻuluaki ʻaho ne u haʻu ai ki ʻEsia, kuo mou ʻilo ia ʻae anga ʻo ʻeku nofo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē,

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

‌ʻA ʻeku tauhi ʻae ʻEiki ʻi he loto angavaivai lahi, mo e loʻimata lahi, mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi, naʻe tō kiate au ʻi he toitoiʻi au ʻe he kakai Siu:

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

Mo ʻeku taʻetaʻofi ki ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ʻaonga, ka kuo u fakaʻilo kiate kimoutolu, mo ako fakahā kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻi he ngaahi fale,

21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance towards God and faith towards our Lord Yeshua.

‌ʻO fakapapau atu ki he kakai Siu, pea mo e kakai Kiliki foki, ʻae fakatomala ki he ʻOtua, mo e tui ki hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.

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

Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoku ou ʻalu haʻisia ʻi loto ki Selūsalema, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko mai ai kiate au:

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

Ka ko eni, ʻoku fakamoʻoni mai ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻo pehē, ʻoku tatali pe kiate au ʻae ngaahi haʻi mo e meʻa fakamamahi ʻi he kolo kotoa pē.

24 But 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 Yeshua, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

Ka ʻoku ʻikai ueʻi ai au, pea ʻoku ʻikai foki te u lau ko e meʻa mahuʻinga kiate au ʻeku moʻui, kae kehe ke u fakaʻosi ʻi he fiefia ʻeku lakanga, mo e ngāue kuo u maʻu mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu, ke u fakamoʻoni ki he ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.

25 “Now, behold, I know that you all, amongst whom I went about proclaiming God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.

“Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata ki hoku mata, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē kuo u malangaʻaki ki ai ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.

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

Ko ia ʻoku ou fakapapau fakamoʻomoʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ni, ʻoku ou maʻa au mei he toto ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.

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

He naʻe ʻikai te u taʻofi ʻae fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae finangalo kotoa pē ʻoe ʻOtua.

28 Take 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 God which he purchased with his own blood.

Ko ia ke mou vakai kiate kimoutolu, pea mo e fanga sipi kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo fakanofo ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ko hono kau tauhi, ke mou fafanga ʻae siasi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatauʻaki hono taʻataʻa.

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

He ʻoku ou ʻilo eni, ka hili ʻeku ʻalu, ʻe haʻu kiate kimoutolu ʻae fanga ulofi fakamālohi, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau mamae ki he fanga sipi.

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

Pea ʻe tupu foki ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae kau tangata, te nau ako ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakahala, ke tohoaki ʻae kau ākonga ke muimui kiate kinautolu.

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

Ko ia ke mou leʻo, pea manatu kuo tolu taʻu mo e ʻikai te u tuku ʻeku valokiekina ʻakimoutolu taki taha mo e loʻimata ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho.

32 Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance amongst all those who are sanctified.

“Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ou tuku ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻOtua, pea mo e folofola ʻo ʻene ʻofa, ʻaia ʻoku ne faʻa fai ke langa hake ʻakimoutolu, pea ke tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻae tofiʻa fakataha mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi.

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

Naʻe ʻikai te u manumanu ki he siliva, pe ki he koula, pe ki he kofu ʻo ha tokotaha.

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

‌ʻIo, ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻekimoutolu, ko e ongo nima ni kuo na tauhi ki heʻeku ngaahi masiva, pea mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate au.

35 In all things I gave you an example, that so labouring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Yeshua, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Kuo u fakahā ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻi he peheʻi ʻa hoʻomou ngāue, ʻoku totonu ke mou tokoni ki he vaivai, pea manatuʻi ʻae lea ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu, ʻi heʻene pehē, ‘ʻOku monūʻia lahi hake ʻae foaki atu ʻi he maʻu [ʻae foaki mai].’”

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

Pea kuo ʻosi ʻene lea ko ia, naʻa ne tuʻulutui, ʻo hūfia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.

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

Pea naʻa nau tangi mamahi kotoa pē, mo nau fāʻufua ʻi he kia ʻo Paula, ʻo ʻuma kiate ia,

38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.

‌ʻO lahi taha pe ʻenau mamahi koeʻuhi ko ʻene lea naʻe pehē, ʻe ʻikai te nau toe mamata ki hono mata. Pea naʻa nau ō mo ia ki he vaka.
