Travay 20
Haitian Creole Version
20 ¶ Lè dezòd la sispann, Pòl reyini disip yo, li ba yo kèk pawòl ankourajman, li di yo orevwa, epi l' pati pou Masedwan.
2 Li pase nan tout zòn lan, li t'ap ankouraje fidèl yo avèk anpil mesaj. Apre sa, li pati, li ale Lagrès.
3 Rive la, li ret pase twa mwa. Li tapral pran yon batiman pou peyi Siri lè l' vin konnen jwif yo t'ap pare yon pèlen tann li. Se konsa, li deside tounen pase Masedwan ankò.
4 Men non moun ki te avèk li yo: Sopatè, pitit Piris, moun lavil Bere, Aristak ak Sekoundous, tou de moun Tesalonik, Gayis, moun Dèb, Timote, Tichik ak Twofim, tou twa moun pwovens Lazi.
5 Yo tout te pran devan, y' al tann nou Twoas.
6 Nou menm, apre fèt Pen san ledven yo, nou anbake sou yon batiman lavil Filip. Apre senk jou, nou jwenn yo lavil Twoas. Nou rete pase tout yon senmenn la.
7 ¶ Premye jou nan senmenn lan, nou te reyini nan aswè pou n' te separe pen an ansanm. Pòl t'ap pale ak asanble a. Li te gen pou l' te pati nan denmen maten. Li te menwi, li t'ap pale toujou.
8 Nou te sanble nan pyès anwo kay la. Te gen anpil lanp limen ladan li.
9 Yon jenn gason yo te rele Etich, te chita sou rebò fennèt la. Mesaj Pòl la te long. Etich kite kabicha pran l' epi l' dòmi nèt ale. Li dòmi sitèlman, li pèdi ekilib, li soti nan twazyèm etaj la li tonbe anba. Lè yo ranmase l', li te mouri frèt.
10 Pòl desanm, li bese sou li, li pran l' nan bra l', epi li di: Nou pa bezwen pè, li pa mouri.
11 Lè Pòl tounen moute, li kase pen an, epi l' manje. Li pale lontan avèk yo ankò jouk solèy leve. Apre sa li pati.
12 Yo mennen jenn gason an vivan lakay li. Se te yon ankourajman pou tout moun.
13 ¶ Nou pran devan, n' al anbake sou yon batiman ki mennen nou Asòs. Se la pou Pòl te vin anbake tou. Se li menm ki te vle l' konsa, li te fè lide ale Asòs apye.
14 Lè l' vin jwenn nou Asòs, nou pran l' abò a, epi n' ale Mitilèn.
15 Antan nou la, nou fè vwal ankò. Nan denmen nou rive devan Chio. Apre yon jou, nou rive Samòs. Nan denmen ankò nou debake Milè.
16 Pòl te deside pase devan Efèz san rete pou l' pa t' pèdi twòp tan nan pwovens Lazi a. Li t'ap prese, li te vle wè si l' te kapab rive Jerizalèm pou jou Lapannkòt la.
17 ¶ Antan li lavil Milè, Pòl voye yon mesaj lavil Efèz: li mande chèf reskonsab legliz yo pou yo vin jwenn li.
18 Lè yo rive, li di yo: Nou konnen ki jan mwen te mennen bak mwen tout tan mwen te la avèk nou, depi premye jou mwen te mete pye m' nan Lazi.
19 Mwen sèvi Seyè a san okenn pretansyon, avèk dlo nan je, nan mitan tout move pa mwen jwenn poutèt tout konplo jwif yo.
20 Nou konnen mwen pa janm kache nou anyen ki ta ka sèvi nou, mwen te fè nou konnen tout bagay, mwen te moutre nou tout bagay, kit an piblik kit lakay nou.
21 Mwen avèti tout moun, jwif kou moun lòt nasyon yo, pou yo chanje lavi yo, tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pou yo mete konfyans yo nan Seyè Jezi.
22 Koulye a mwen pral Jerizalèm. Se Sentespri k'ap pouse m' ale. Mwen pa konnen sak pral rive m' la a.
23 Yon sèl bagay moun konnen: nan chak lavil kote m' pase, Sentespri avèti m' prizon ak anpil soufrans ap tann mwen.
24 Mwen pa pran lavi m' pou anyen, li pa gen okenn valè pou mwen. Men, mwen vle ale jouk nan bout nan sèvis mwen, mwen vle fini nèt ak travay Seyè Jezi ban mwen an, pou m' anonse bon nouvèl favè Bondye fè nou an.
25 Mwen pase kèk tan nan mitan nou ap anonse Gouvènman Bondye ki wa a. Men, koulye a, mwen konnen nou yonn p'ap janm wè m' ankò.
26 Se poutèt sa m'ap di nou jòdi a: si yonn nan nou peri, mwen pa reskonsab.
27 Mwen fè nou konnen tout plan travay Bondye a san m' pa kache nou anyen.
28 Veye kò nou, veye sou tout bann mouton Sentespri a mete sou kont nou. Okipe legliz Bondye a, legliz li te achte ak pwòp san Pitit li a.
29 Mwen konnen tou, apre m' fin ale, gen moun k'ap vin nan mitan nou pou kraze legliz la, tankou chen mawon nan yon bann mouton.
30 Gen moun k'ap soti nan mitan nou menm menm, k'ap kanpe pou bay manti, pou chache rale kèk disip dèyè yo.
31 Se poutèt sa, mwen di nou: fè atansyon anpil. Toujou chonje ki jan, pandan twazan, lajounen kou lannwit, mwen pa janm sispann avèti nou tout, ak dlo nan je mwen.
32 Koulye a m'ap renmèt nou nan men Bondye avèk mesaj favè li a. Se li menm ki ka fòtifye nou, ki ka ban nou tout bon bagay li sere pou tout moun ki pote non li.
33 Mwen pa janm pote lanvi pou lajan pesonn, ni pou lò ni pou rad okenn moun.
34 Nou menm, nou konnen ki jan mwen travay ak men m' pou m' te ka jwenn tou sa mwen menm ansanm ak kanmarad mwen yo nou te bezwen.
35 Mwen moutre nou ki jan pou n' travay di nan tou sa n'ap fè pou n' ka ede pi fèb yo, pou nou toujou chonje pawòl Seyè a ki te di ak pwòp bouch li: Gen plis benediksyon pou moun k'ap bay pase pou moun k'ap resevwa.
36 ¶ Lè li fin pale konsa, Pòl mete ajenou ansanm ak yo tout, epi li lapriyè.
37 Yo tout t'ap kriye, yo pran Pòl nan bra yo, yo bo l', yo di li: Bondye avèk ou!
38 Sa ki te fè yo plis lapenn, se lè li di yo p'ap janm wè l' ankò. Apre sa, yo kondi l' mennen jouk sou batiman an.

Through Macedonia and Greece
20 When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples(A) and, after encouraging them, said goodbye and set out for Macedonia.(B) 2 He traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people, and finally arrived in Greece, 3 where he stayed three months. Because some Jews had plotted against him(C) just as he was about to sail for Syria,(D) he decided to go back through Macedonia.(E) 4 He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus(F) and Secundus from Thessalonica,(G) Gaius(H) from Derbe, Timothy(I) also, and Tychicus(J) and Trophimus(K) from the province of Asia.(L) 5 These men went on ahead and waited for us(M) at Troas.(N) 6 But we sailed from Philippi(O) after the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas,(P) where we stayed seven days.
Eutychus Raised From the Dead at Troas
7 On the first day of the week(Q) we came together to break bread.(R) Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. 8 There were many lamps in the upstairs room(S) where we were meeting. 9 Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead. 10 Paul went down, threw himself on the young man(T) and put his arms around him. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “He’s alive!”(U) 11 Then he went upstairs again and broke bread(V) and ate. After talking until daylight, he left. 12 The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.
Paul’s Farewell to the Ephesian Elders
13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we were going to take Paul aboard. He had made this arrangement because he was going there on foot. 14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene. 15 The next day we set sail from there and arrived off Chios. The day after that we crossed over to Samos, and on the following day arrived at Miletus.(W) 16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus(X) to avoid spending time in the province of Asia,(Y) for he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem,(Z) if possible, by the day of Pentecost.(AA)
17 From Miletus,(AB) Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders(AC) of the church. 18 When they arrived, he said to them: “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you,(AD) from the first day I came into the province of Asia.(AE) 19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears(AF) and in the midst of severe testing by the plots of my Jewish opponents.(AG) 20 You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything(AH) that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. 21 I have declared to both Jews(AI) and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance(AJ) and have faith in our Lord Jesus.(AK)
22 “And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem,(AL) not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me(AM) that prison and hardships are facing me.(AN) 24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me;(AO) my only aim is to finish the race(AP) and complete the task(AQ) the Lord Jesus has given me(AR)—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.(AS)
25 “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom(AT) will ever see me again.(AU) 26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you.(AV) 27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.(AW) 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock(AX) of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers.(AY) Be shepherds of the church of God,[a](AZ) which he bought(BA) with his own blood.[b](BB) 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves(BC) will come in among you and will not spare the flock.(BD) 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples(BE) after them. 31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years(BF) I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.(BG)
32 “Now I commit you to God(BH) and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance(BI) among all those who are sanctified.(BJ) 33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.(BK) 34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.(BL) 35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
36 When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.(BM) 37 They all wept as they embraced him and kissed him.(BN) 38 What grieved them most was his statement that they would never see his face again.(BO) Then they accompanied him to the ship.(BP)

King James Version
20 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
3 And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
4 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 These going before tarried 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 abode seven days.
7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the 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 Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he 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 words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
