1 A, no te mutunga o te ngangau, ka karangatia e Paora nga akonga, ka tohutohu i a ratou, ka poroporoaki, a turia atu ana e ia, haere ana ki Makeronia.
2 A ka haereerea e ia aua wahi, me te whakahau i a ratou ki nga kupu maha, a haere ana ia ki Kariki;
3 A, ka toru ona marama ki reira, i nga Hurai ano e whakatakoto whakaaro ana mona, i a ia meake rere ki Hiria, ka whakaaro ia kia hoki ma Makeronia.
4 A i haere tahi i a ia tae noa ki Ahia, a Hopate o Peria, te tama a Piru; a Kaiu o Rerepe; a Timoti hoki ratou ko Tikiku, ko Toropimu o Ahia.
5 Otira kua haere atu enei i mua, a e tatari mai ana ki a matou i Toroa.
6 Na i te mutunga o nga ra o te taro rewenakore ka rere atu matou i Piripai, a po rima ka tae atu ki a ratou ki Toroa; a e whitu nga ra i noho ai ki reira.
7 Na i te ra tuatahi o te wiki, i te mea kua huihui matou ki te whawhati taro, ka kauwhau a Paora ki a ratou, e mea ana hoki ki te haere i te aonga ake; a ka kumea roatia tana korero a waenganui po ra ano.
8 A he maha nga rama i te ruma i runga, i te wahi i huihui ai matou.
9 Na tera tetahi taitamariki, ko Utiku te ingoa, i te matapihi e noho ana, kua tino parangia e te moe: a, ka roa tonu te kauwhau a Paora, na ka pehia rawatia ia e te moe, na ka taka iho i te toru o nga whakapaparanga o nga ruma, tangohia rawatia ak e kua mate.
10 Na ka heke iho a Paora, a hinga ana ki runga ki a ia, awhi ana i a ia, ka mea, kei ngangau koutou; kei roto hoki i a ia tona wairua.
11 Na ka kake atu ano ia, ka whawhati taro, ka kai, a ka roa rawa te korero a puao noa, ka haere.
12 Heoi arahina oratia atu ana e ratou taua taitama, kihai hoki i nohinohi te koa.
13 Na ko matou kua riro i mua ki te kaipuke, a rere ana ki Aho, i mea kia utaina a Paora i reira: nana hoki i whakarite, i mea hoki ko ia me ra uta.
14 A ka tutaki ki a matou ki Aho, ka utaina ia, a rere ana matou ki Mitirini.
15 Rere atu ana matou i reira, a i te aonga ake ka taea te ritenga atu o Kio; ao ake ano ka u ki Hamo a noho ana ki Torokiriuma; ao ake ano ka u ki Miretu.
16 I mea hoki a Paora kia rere i waho ake o Epeha, kei roa ia ki Ahia: i porangi hoki me kore e rokohanga atu ia e te ra o te Petekoha ki Hiruharama.
17 Na ka tono tangata atu ia i Miretu ki Epeha, hei tiki i nga kaumatua o te hahi.
18 A, no to ratou taenga mai ki a ia, ka mea ia ki a ratou, E matau ana koutou ki taku tikanga i roto i a koutou i nga ra katoa, no te ra tuatahi iho ano o toku taenga mai ki Ahia,
19 Papaku noa iho te ngakau i mahi ai ahau ki te Ariki, he maha ia nga roimata me nga whakamatautau i pa ki ahau, i nga Hurai e whakatakoto whakaaro ana moku:
20 Kihai i puritia e ahau tetahi o nga mea pai; i whakakitea atu ano ki a koutou, i akona nuitia ki a koutou, i tenei whare, i tenei whare;
21 I kauwhautia hoki ki nga Hurai, ki nga Kariki, te ripeneta whaka te Atua, me te whakapono ki to tatou Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti.
22 Na, tenei ahau te haere nei ki Hiruharama, he hereherenga na te wairua, kahore hoki e mohio ki nga mea e pa ki ahau i reira:
23 Heoi ano ko ta te Wairua Tapu e whakaatu nei ki ahau i tenei pa, i tenei pa, e mea ana, kei te taria mai ahau e nga mekameka, e nga mate.
24 Otira kahore ahau e ihupuku ki te ora, hei painga ki ahau ake, engari kia taea taku e whai nei, me te mahi i homai ki ahau e te Ariki, e Ihu, ara kia whakaaturia te rongopai o te aroha noa o te Atua.
25 Na e mohio ana tenei ahau, heoi ano kitenga o toku mata e tetahi o koutou, e te hunga i kauwhau haere nei ahau i te rangatiratanga o te Atua i roto i a koutou.
26 Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou aianei, Kahore oku poke i nga toto o tetahi tangata.
27 Kihai hoki ahau i manawapa ki te kauwhau i te whakaaro katoa o te Atua ki a koutou.
28 Na kia tupato ki a koutou, ki te kahui katoa ano i meinga ai koutou e te Wairua Tapu hei kaitirotiro, whangaia te hahi a te Atua i hokona nei e ia ki ona ake toto.
29 E mohio ana hoki ahau ki tenei ka riro ahau, tera e puta mai ki a koutou he wuruhi nanakia, e kore nei e tohu i te kahui;
30 A ka whakatika ake etahi tangata i roto i a koutou ano, korero ai i nga mea parori ke, hei kukume i nga akonga kia whai i a ratou.
31 Na reira, kia mataara, kia mahara ano ki nga tau e toru kihai nei ahau i mangere i te po, i te ao, ki te whakatupato i tenei, i tenei o koutou, me te tangi ano ahau.
32 Na, tenei ahau, te tuku nei i a koutou ki te Atua, ki te kupu hoki o tona aroha noa, e kaha nei ki te whakatupu ake, ki te hoatu hoki i tetahi wahi ki a koutou i roto i te hunga katoa kua oti te whakatapu.
33 Kihai i hiahiatia e ahau te hiriwa, te koura, te kakahu ranei, o tetahi.
34 E mohio ana ano koutou, na enei ringa i mahi nga mea i matea e ahau, e oku hoa hoki.
35 I nga mea katoa i hoatu e ahau he tauira ki a koutou, kia penei ta koutou mahi kia atawhaitia ai e koutou te hunga ngoikore, me te mahara ki nga kupu a te Ariki, a Ihu, i mea ra ia, Ko te whakawhiwhi, nui atu te hari i to te whiwhi.
36 I te mutunga o tenei whai kupu ana ka tukua ona turi ki raro, ka inoi tahi ia me ratou katoa.
37 He nui hoki te tangi o te katoa; hinga iho ratou ki runga ki te kaki o Paora, ka kihi i a ia;
38 I tino mamae pu hoki ratou i te kupu i mea ai ia, heoi ano to ratou kitenga i tona mata. Na ka arahi ratou i a ia ki te kaipuke.
1 And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called near the disciples, and having embraced [them], went forth to go on to Macedonia;
2 and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came to Greece;
3 having made also three months` [stay] -- a counsel of the Jews having been against him -- being about to set forth to Syria, there came [to him] a resolution of returning through Macedonia.
4 And there were accompanying him unto Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asiatics Tychicus and Trophimus;
5 these, having gone before, did remain for us in Troas,
6 and we sailed, after the days of the unleavened food, from Philippi, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.
7 And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight,
8 and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together,
9 and there was sitting a certain youth, by name Eutychus, upon the window -- being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long -- he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up dead.
10 And Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having embraced [him], said, `Make no tumult, for his life is in him;`
11 and having come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked -- till daylight, so he went forth,
12 and they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.
13 And we having gone before unto the ship, did sail to Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot;
14 and when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene,
15 and thence having sailed, on the morrow we came over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus,
16 for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem.
17 And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,
18 and when they were come unto him, he said to them, `Ye -- ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was;
19 serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against [me];
20 how nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable, not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every house,
21 testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 `And now, lo, I -- bound in the Spirit -- go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing,
23 save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain;
24 but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.
25 `And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, -- ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God;
26 wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I [am] clear from the blood of all,
27 for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.
28 `Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,
29 for I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves unto you, not sparing the flock,
30 and of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 `Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;
32 and now, I commend you, brethren, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified.
33 `The silver or gold or garments of no one did I covet;
34 and ye yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, minister did these hands;
35 all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth [us] to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.`
36 And these things having said, having bowed his knees, with them all, he did pray,
37 and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen upon the neck of Paul, they were kissing him,
38 sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said -- that they are about no more to see his face; and they were accompanying him to the ship.
