| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | ሁከቱም ከቀረ በኋላ ጳውሎስ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን አስመጥቶ መከራቸው፥ ተሰናብቶአቸውም ወደ መቄዶንያ ይሄድ ዘንድ ወጣ። | And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia. |
| 2 | ያንም አገር እያለፈ በብዙ ቃል ከመከራቸው በኋላ ወደ ግሪክ አገር መጣ። | And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, |
| 3 | በዚያም ሦስት ወር ተቀምጦ ወደ ሶርያ በመርከብ ሊሄድ ባሰበ ጊዜ፥ አይሁድ ሴራ ስላደረጉበት በመቄዶንያ አልፎ ይመለስ ዘንድ ቆረጠ። | 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 | የሸኙትም የቤርያው ሱሲጳጥሮስ ከተሰሎንቄ ሰዎችም አርስጥሮኮስና ሲኮንዱስ የደርቤኑም ጋይዮስና ጢሞቴዎስ የእስያ ሰዎችም ቲኪቆስ ጥሮፊሞስም ነበሩ፤ | 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 | እነዚህም ወደ ፊታችን አልፈው በጢሮአዳ ቆዩን። | These going before tarried for us at Troas. |
| 6 | እኛ ግን ከቂጣ በዓል ቀን በኋላ ከፊልጵስዩስ በመርከብ ተነሥተን በአምስት ቀን ወደ ጢሮአዳ ወደ እነርሱ ደረስንና በዚያ ሰባት ቀን ተቀመጥን። | 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 | ከሳምንቱም በመጀመሪያ ቀን እንጀራ ለመቁረስ ተሰብስበን ሳለን፥ ጳውሎስ በነገው ሊሄድ ስላሰበ ከእነርሱ ጋር ይነጋገር ነበር፥ እስከ መንፈቀ ሌሊትም ነገሩን አስረዘመ። | 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 | ተሰብስበንም በነበርንበት ሰገነት እጅግ መብራት ነበረ። | And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. |
| 9 | አውጤኪስ የሚሉትም አንድ ጎበዝ በመስኮት ተቀምጦ ታላቅ እንቅልፍ አንቀላፍቶ ነበር፤ ጳውሎስም ነገርን ባስረዘመ ጊዜ እንቅልፍ ከብዶት ከሦስተኛው ደርብ ወደ ታች ወደቀ፥ ሞቶም አነሡት። | 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 | ጳውሎስም ወርዶ በላዩ ወደቀ፥ አቅፎም። ነፍሱ አለችበትና አትንጫጩ አላቸው። | And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. |
| 11 | ወጥቶም እንጀራ ቆርሶም በላ፤ ብዙ ጊዜም እስኪነጋ ድረስ ተነጋገረ እንዲህም ሄደ። | 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 | ብላቴናውንም ደኅና ሆኖ ወሰዱት እጅግም ተጽናኑ። | And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted. |
| 13 | እኛ ግን ጳውሎስን ከዚያ እንቀበለው ዘንድ ስላለን ወደ መርከብ ቀድመን ሄድንና ወደ አሶን ተነሣን፤ እርሱ በመሬት ይሄድ ዘንድ ስላሰበ እንደዚህ አዞ ነበርና። | 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 | በአሶንም ባገኘን ጊዜ ተቀብለነው ወደ ሚጢሊኒ መጣን፤ | And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene. |
| 15 | በማግሥቱም ከዚያ በባሕር ተነሥተን በኪዩ ፊት ለፊት ደረስን፥ በነገውም ወደ ሳሞን ተሻገርን በትሮጊሊዮም አድረን በማግሥቱ ወደ ሚሊጢን መጣን። | 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 | ጳውሎስ በእስያ እጅግ እንዳይቀመጥ ኤፌሶንን ይተው ዘንድ ቆርጦ ነበርና ቢቻለውም በዓለ ኀምሳን በኢየሩሳሌም ይውል ዘንድ ይቸኩል ነበርና። | 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 | ከሚሊጢንም ወደ ኤፌሶን ልኮ የቤተክርስቲያንን ሽማግሌዎች አስጠራቸው፤ | And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. |
| 18 | ወደ እርሱም በመጡ ጊዜ እንዲህ አላቸው። ወደ እስያ ከገባሁበት ከመጀመሪያ ቀን ጀምሮ፥ በትሕትና ሁሉና በእንባ ከአይሁድም ሴራ በደረሰብኝ ፈተና ለጌታ እየተገዛሁ ዘመኑን ሁሉ ከእናንተ ጋር እንዴት እንደ ኖርሁ እናንተው ታውቃላችሁ፤ | 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, |
| 20 | ወደ እግዚአብሔር ዘንድ ንስሐንና በጌታችን በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ማመንን ለአይሁድና ለግሪክ ሰዎች እየመሰከርሁ በጉባኤም በየቤታችሁም አወራሁላችሁና አስተማርኋችሁ እንጂ፥ ከሚጠቅማችሁ ነገር አንዳች ስንኳ አላስቀረሁባችሁም። | And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, |
| 22 | አሁንም፥ እነሆ፥ እኔ በመንፈስ ታስሬ ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም እሄዳለሁ፥ በዚያም የሚያገኘኝ ምን እንደ ሆነ አላውቅም፤ | And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: |
| 23 | ነገር ግን መንፈስ ቅዱስ። እስራትና መከራ ይቆይሃል ብሎ በየከተማው ሁሉ ይመሰክርልኛል። | Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. |
| 24 | ነገር ግን ሩጫዬንና ከጌታ ከኢየሱስ የተቀበልሁትን አገልግሎት እርሱም የእግዚአብሔርን ጸጋ ወንጌልን መመስከር እፈጽም ዘንድ ነፍሴን በእኔ ዘንድ እንደማትከብር እንደ ከንቱ ነገር እቆጥራለሁ። | 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 | አሁንም፥ እነሆ፥ እኔ የእግዚአብሔርን መንግሥት እየሰበክሁ በመካከላችሁ የዞርሁ ሁላችሁ ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ ፊቴን እንዳትዩ አውቃለሁ። | 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 | ስለዚህ እኔ ከሰው ሁሉ ደም ንጹሕ እንደ ሆንሁ ዛሬ በዚች ቀን እመሰክርላችኋለሁ። | Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. |
| 27 | የእግዚአብሔርን ምክር ሁሉ ነግሬአችኋለሁና፥ ምንም አላስቀረሁባችሁም። | For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. |
| 28 | በገዛ ደሙ የዋጃትን የእግዚአብሔርን ቤተ ክርስቲያን ትጠብቁአት ዘንድ መንፈስ ቅዱስ እናንተን ጳጳሳት አድርጎ ለሾመባት ለመንጋው ሁሉና ለራሳችሁ ተጠንቀቁ። | 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 | ከሄድሁ በኋላ ለመንጋው የማይራሩ ጨካኞች ተኩላዎች እንዲገቡባችሁ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርትንም ወደ ኋላቸው ይስቡ ዘንድ ጠማማ ነገርን የሚናገሩ ሰዎች በመካከላችሁ እንዲነሡ እኔ አውቃለሁ። | For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. |
| 31 | ስለዚህ ሦስት ዓመት ሌሊትና ቀን በእንባ እያንዳንዳችሁን ከመገሠጽ እንዳላቋረጥሁ እያሰባችሁ ትጉ። | Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. |
| 32 | አሁንም ለእግዚአብሔርና ያንጻችሁ ዘንድ በቅዱሳንም ሁሉ መካከል ርስትን ይሰጣችሁ ዘንድ ለሚችል ለጸጋው ቃል አደራ ሰጥቻችኋለሁ። | 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 | ከማንም ብር ወይም ወርቅ ወይም ልብስ አልተመኘሁም፤ | I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. |
| 34 | እነዚህ እጆቼ በሚያስፈልገኝ ነገር ለእኔና ከእኔ ጋር ላሉት እንዳገለገሉ እናንተ ታውቃላችሁ። | Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. |
| 35 | እንዲሁ እየደከማችሁ ድውዮችን ልትረዱና እርሱ ራሱ። ከሚቀበል ይልቅ የሚሰጥ ብፁዕ ነው እንዳለ የጌታን የኢየሱስን ቃል ልታስቡ ይገባችሁ ዘንድ በሁሉ አሳየኋችሁ። | 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 | ይህንም ብሎ ተንበርክኮ ከሁላቸው ጋር ጸለየ። | And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. |
| 37 | ሁሉም እጅግ አለቀሱ፥ ጳውሎስንም አንገቱን አቅፈው ይስሙት ነበር፤ | And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him, |
| 38 | ይልቁንም። ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ ፊቴን አታዩም ስላላቸው ነገር እጅግ አዘኑ። እስከ መርከብም ድረስ ሸኙት። | 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. |
| 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: | |
| 21 | Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. | |
| 30 | Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. |
