Atos 20

Ki Makeronia me Kariki

1 Ā, nō te mutunga o te ngangau, ka karangatia e Pāora ngā ākonga, ka tohutohu i a rātou, ka poroporoaki, ā, tūria atu ana e ia, haere ana ki Makeronia. 2 Ā, ka hāereerea e ia aua wāhi, me te whakahau i a rātou ki ngā kupu maha, ā, haere ana ia ki Kariki; 3 ā, ka toru ōna marama ki reira. I ngā Hūrai anō e whakatakoto whakaaro ana mōna, i a ia meāke rere ki Hīria, ka whakaaro ia kia hoki mā Makeronia. 4 Ā, i haere tahi i a ia tae noa ki Āhia, a Hopate o Peria, te tama a Piru; a Aritaku rāua ko Hekunu o Teharonika; a Kaiu o Rerepe; a Tīmoti hoki rātou ko Tikiku, ko Toropimu o Āhia. 5 Otirā, kua haere atu ēnei i mua, ā, e tatari mai ana ki a mātou i Toroa. 6 Nā, i te mutunga o ngā rā o te Taro Rēwenakore ka rere atu mātou i Piripai, ā, pō rima ka tae atu ki a rātou ki Toroa; ā, e whitu ngā rā i noho ai ki reira.

Te Haerenga Whakamutunga o Pāora ki Toroa

7 Nā, i te rā tuatahi o te wiki, i te mea kua huihui mātou ki te whawhati taro, ka kauwhau a Pāora ki a rātou, e mea ana hoki ki te haere i te aonga ake; ā, ka kūmea roatia tāna kōrero ā waenganui pō rā anō. 8 Ā, he maha ngā rama i te rūma i runga, i te wāhi i huihui ai mātou. 9 Nā, tērā tētahi taitamariki, ko Ūtiku te ingoa, i te matapihi e noho ana, kua tino parangia e te moe; ā, ka roa tonu te kauwhau a Pāora, nā, ka pēhia rawatia ia e te moe, nā, ka taka iho i te toru o ngā whakapaparanga o ngā rūma, tangohia rawatia ake kua mate. 10 Nā, ka heke iho a Pāora, ā, hinga ana ki runga ki a ia, awhi ana i a ia, ka mea, "Kei ngangau koutou; kei roto hoki i a ia tōna wairua." 11 Nā, ka kake atu anō ia, ka whawhati taro, ka kai, ā, ka roa rawa te kōrero ā pūao noa, ka haere. 12 Heoi, ārahina oratia atu ana e rātou taua taitama, kīhai hoki i nohinohi te koa.

Mai i Toroa ki Miretu

13 Nā, ko mātou kua riro i mua ki te kaipuke, ā, rere ana ki Aho, i mea kia utaina a Pāora i reira; nāna hoki i whakarite, i mea hoki ko ia me rā uta. 14 Ā, ka tūtaki ki a mātou ki Aho, ka utaina ia, ā, rere ana mātou ki Mitirini. 15 Rere atu ana mātou i reira, ā, i te aonga ake ka taea te ritenga atu o Kio; ao ake anō ka ū ki Hamo, ā, noho ana ki Torokiriuma; ao ake anō ka ū ki Miretu. 16 I mea hoki a Pāora kia rere i waho ake o Epeha, kei roa ia ki Āhia; i pōrangi hoki me kore e rokohanga atu ia e te rā o te Petekoha ki Hiruhārama.

Te Poroporoaki a Pāora ki ngā Kaumātua o Epeha

17 Nā, ka tono tāngata atu ia i Miretu ki Epeha, hei tiki i ngā kaumātua o te hāhi. 18 Ā, nō tō rātou taenga mai ki a ia, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "E mātau ana koutou ki tāku tikanga i roto i a koutou i ngā rā katoa, nō te rā tuatahi iho anō o tōku taenga mai ki Āhia, 19 pāpaku noa iho te ngākau i mahi ai ahau ki te Ariki, he maha ia ngā roimata me ngā whakamātautau i pā ki ahau, i ngā Hūrai e whakatakoto whakaaro ana mōku. 20 Kīhai i puritia e ahau tētahi o ngā mea pai i whakakitea atu anō ki a koutou i ākona nuitia ki a koutou, i tēnei whare, i tēnei whare; 21 i kauwhautia hoki ki ngā Hūrai ki ngā Kariki, te rīpenetā whaka te Atua, me te whakapono ki tō tātou Ariki, ki a Īhu Karaiti.

22 "Nā, tēnei ahau te haere nei ki Hiruhārama, he hereherenga nā te wairua, kāhore hoki e mōhio ki ngā mea e pā ki ahau i reira; 23 heoi anō, ko tā te Wairua Tapu e whakaatu nei ki ahau i tēnei pā, i tēnei pā, e mea ana, kei te tāria mai ahau e ngā mekameka, e ngā mate. 24 Otirā, kāhore ahau e ihupuku ki te ora, hei painga ki ahau ake, engari, kia taea tāku e whai nei, me te mahi i hōmai ki ahau e te Ariki, e Īhu, arā kia whakaaturia te rongopai o te aroha noa o te Atua.

25 "Nā, e mōhio ana tēnei ahau, heoi anō, kitenga o tōku mata e tētahi 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 āianei, kāhore ōku poke i ngā toto o tētahi tangata. 27 Kīhai hoki ahau i manawapā ki te kauwhau i te whakaaro katoa o te Atua ki a koutou. 28 Nā, kia tūpato ki a koutou, ki te kāhui katoa anō i meinga ai koutou e te Wairua Tapu hei kaitirotiro, whāngaia te hāhi a te Atua i hokona nei e ia ki ōna ake toto. 29 E mōhio ana hoki ahau ki tēnei ka riro ahau tērā e puta mai ki a koutou he wuruhi nanakia, e kore nei e tohu i te kāhui; 30 ā, ka whakatika ake ētahi tāngata i roto i a koutou anō, kōrero ai i ngā mea parori kē, hei kukume i ngā ākonga kia whai i a rātou. 31 Nā reira, kia mataara, kia mahara anō ki ngā tau e toru kīhai nei ahau i māngere i te pō, i te ao, ki te whakatūpato i tēnei, i tēnei o koutou, me te tangi anō ahau.

32 "Nā, tēnei ahau, te tuku nei i a koutou ki te Atua, ki te kupu hoki o tōna aroha noa, e kaha nei ki te whakatupu ake, ki te hoatu hoki i tētahi wāhi ki a koutou i roto i te hunga katoa kua oti te whakatapu. 33 Kīhai i hiahiatia e ahau te hiriwa, te kōura, te kākahu rānei, o tētahi. 34 E mōhio ana anō koutou, nā ēnei ringa i mahi ngā mea i matea e ahau, e ōku hoa hoki. 35 I ngā mea katoa i hoatu ahau he tauira ki a koutou, kia pēnei tā koutou mahi kia atawhaitia ai e koutou te hunga ngoikore, me te mahara ki ngā kupu a te Ariki, a Īhu, i mea rā ia, ‘Ko te whakawhiwhi, nui atu te hari i tō te whiwhi.’ "

36 I te mutunga o tēnei whai kupu āna ka tukua ōna turi ki raro, ka īnoi tahi ia me rātou katoa. 37 He nui hoki te tangi o te katoa; hinga iho rātou ki runga ki te kakī o Pāora, ka kihi i a ia; 38 i tino mamae pū hoki rātou i te kupu i mea ai ia, heoi anō, tō rātou kitenga i tōna mata. Nā, ka ārahi rātou i a ia ki te kaipuke.

1 And after the uproar ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia. 2 And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece. 3 And when he had spent three months there, and a plot was laid against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia. 4 And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater of Beroea, the son of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus. 5 But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas. 6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we tarried seven days.

7 And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight. 8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together. 9 And there sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus, borne down with deep sleep; and as Paul discoursed yet longer, being borne down by his sleep he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead. 10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him. 11 And when he was gone up, and had broken the bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. 12 And they brought the lad alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 But we, going before to the ship, set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land. 14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene. 15 And sailing from thence, we came the following day over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after we came to Miletus. 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 at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him the elders of the church. 18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them,

Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, after what manner I was with you all the time, 19 serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews; 20 how I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house, 21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23 save that the Holy Spirit testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24 But I hold not my life of any account as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God. 28 Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit hath made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood. 29 I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock; 30 and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31 Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears. 32 And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you the inheritance among all them that are sanctified. 33 I coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. 34 Ye yourselves know that these hands ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 35 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye 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.

36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and prayed with them all. 37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him, 38 sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they should behold his face no more. And they brought him on his way unto the ship.
