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.

After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embraced them, and departed to go to Macedonia.

2 A ka haereerea e ia aua wahi, me te whakahau i a ratou ki nga kupu maha, a haere ana ia ki Kariki;

Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to Greece

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.

and stayed three months. And when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

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.

And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia—also Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

5 O tira kua haere atu enei i mua, a e tatari mai ana ki a matou i Toroa.

These men, going ahead, waited for us at Troas.

6 N a 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.

But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days. Ministering at Troas

7 N a 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.

Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.

8 A he maha nga rama i te ruma i runga, i te wahi i huihui ai matou.

There were many lamps in the upper room where they were gathered together.

9 N a 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.

And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.

10 N a 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.

But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, “Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.”

11 N a ka kake atu ano ia, ka whawhati taro, ka kai, a ka roa rawa te korero a puao noa, ka haere.

Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed.

12 H eoi arahina oratia atu ana e ratou taua taitama, kihai hoki i nohinohi te koa.

And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted. From Troas to Miletus

13 N a 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.

Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; for so he had given orders, intending himself to go on foot.

14 A ka tutaki ki a matou ki Aho, ka utaina ia, a rere ana matou ki Mitirini.

And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

15 R ere 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.

We sailed from there, and the next day came opposite Chios. The following day we arrived at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium. The next day we came to Miletus.

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.

For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost. The Ephesian Elders Exhorted

17 N a ka tono tangata atu ia i Miretu ki Epeha, hei tiki i nga kaumatua o te hahi.

From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.

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,

And when they had come to him, he said to them: “You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you,

19 P apaku 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:

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

20 K ihai 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;

how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house,

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.

testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 N a, 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:

And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,

23 H eoi 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.

except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.

24 O tira 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.

But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

25 N a 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.

“And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more.

26 K oia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou aianei, Kahore oku poke i nga toto o tetahi tangata.

Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

27 K ihai hoki ahau i manawapa ki te kauwhau i te whakaaro katoa o te Atua ki a koutou.

For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

28 N a 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.

Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

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;

For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

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.

Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

31 N a 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.

Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

32 N a, 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.

“So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

33 K ihai i hiahiatia e ahau te hiriwa, te koura, te kakahu ranei, o tetahi.

I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel.

34 E mohio ana ano koutou, na enei ringa i mahi nga mea i matea e ahau, e oku hoa hoki.

Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me.

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.

I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

36 I te mutunga o tenei whai kupu ana ka tukua ona turi ki raro, ka inoi tahi ia me ratou katoa.

And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

37 H e nui hoki te tangi o te katoa; hinga iho ratou ki runga ki te kaki o Paora, ka kihi i a ia;

Then they all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

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.

sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
