Acts 20

1 When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples. And after encouraging them, he said goodbye to them and left for Macedonia.

1 这场风波平息后，保罗召集众门徒勉励一番后，便辞别他们去了马其顿。

2 After traveling through that area and speaking many words of encouragement, he arrived in Greece,

2 他走遍那一带，用许多话鼓励当地的门徒。之后，他又去希腊，

3 where he stayed three months. And when the Jews formed a plot against him as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia.

3 在那里逗留了三个月。保罗正要乘船去叙利亚时，听闻犹太人计划要害他，就决定经马其顿回去。

4 Paul was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.

4 同他到亚细亚去的人有庇哩亚人毕罗斯的儿子所巴特、帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古和西公都，还有特庇人该犹、提摩太、亚细亚人推基古和特罗非摩。

5 These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.

5 他们先到特罗亚等候我们。

6 And after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, we sailed from Philippi, and five days later we rejoined them in Troas, where we stayed seven days.

6 除酵节过后，我们从腓立比启航，五天后在特罗亚和他们会合，大家同住了七天。

7 On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight.

7 七日的第一日 ，我们聚会掰饼，保罗因为次日要离开，就向他们讲道，直到半夜。

8 Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered.

8 我们聚会的楼上灯火通明。

9 And a certain young man named Eutychus, seated in the window, was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell from the third story and was picked up dead.

9 有个名叫犹推古的青年坐在窗台上听道。保罗讲了许久，犹推古不胜困倦睡着了，竟从三楼掉了下去。别人将他抱起来时，他已经死了。

10 But Paul went down, threw himself on the young man, and embraced him. “Do not be alarmed!” he said. “He is still alive!”

10 保罗下去伏在他身上，抱着他对众人说：“不要惊慌，他还活着！”

11 Then Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate. And after speaking until daybreak, he departed.

11 保罗说完就回到楼上，与大家一同掰饼、吃了，又谈了很久，直到天亮才离去。

12 And the people were greatly relieved to take the boy home alive.

12 大家把活过来的犹推古送回家，都大得安慰。

13 We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take Paul aboard. He had arranged this because he was going there on foot.

13 我们照保罗的吩咐先乘船到亚朔预备在那里接他，他打算由陆路步行过去。

14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene.

14 他到了亚朔，我们接他上船，一同前往米推利尼。

15 Sailing on from there, we arrived the next day opposite Chios. The day after that we arrived at Samos, and on the following day we came to Miletus.

15 我们从米推利尼启航，第二天到了基阿附近，第三天到达撒摩，第四天在米利都停泊。

16 Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, because he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.

16 保罗急于赶回耶路撒冷，希望在五旬节前赶到，所以决定越过以弗所，免得在亚细亚境内耽误太久。

17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.

17 保罗从米利都派人到以弗所请教会的长老前来与他相会。

18 When they came to him, he said, “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.

18 他们都来了，保罗说：“各位，自从我踏进亚细亚那天起，在你们当中为人如何，你们都很清楚。

19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, especially in the trials that came upon me through the plots of the Jews.

19 我含着眼泪谦卑地事奉主，又遭到犹太人的谋害，历尽艰辛。

20 I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,

20 你们也知道，凡是对你们有益的事，我没有避而不宣，我总是在公开场合和各人家中教导你们。

21 testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

21 我劝犹太人和希腊人都要悔改，归向上帝，信靠主耶稣基督。

22 And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.

22 现在，我在圣灵的催促下前往耶路撒冷，不知道在那里会发生什么事，

23 I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.

23 只知道圣灵在各城指示我，前面必有监禁和苦难等着我。

24 But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

24 不过，只要能跑完我当跑的路程，完成主耶稣交托给我的使命——为上帝充满恩典的福音做见证，就是牺牲性命，我也在所不惜。

25 Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.

25 “我一向在你们中间传扬上帝的国，如今我知道，以后你们再也见不到我的面了。

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

26 所以今天我向你们声明，将来你们有谁灭亡，与我无关。

27 For I did not shrink back from declaring to you the whole will of God.

27 因为上帝的整个计划，我没有向你们避而不宣。

28 Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood.

28 你们要为自己，也要为教会的群羊警醒，因为圣灵已经任命你们做群羊的监督，牧养上帝的教会。教会是祂用自己的血赎回来的。

29 I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.

29 我知道，在我离开以后，一定会有凶恶的豺狼闯进你们中间，残害羊群。

30 Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.

30 就是你们中间也会有人起来歪曲真理，引诱门徒跟随他们。

31 Therefore be alert and remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.

31 所以你们一定要警醒，牢记这三年来我怎样昼夜不住地流着泪劝诫你们。

32 And now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.

32 “现在，我把你们交托给上帝和祂充满恩典的道，这道能造就你们，使你们与一切得以圣洁的人同得产业。

33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.

33 我从未贪图别人的金银和衣服，

34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions.

34 你们都知道，我亲手做工养活自己和同工。

35 In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

35 我凡事以身作则，教导你们勤奋工作，帮助软弱的人，并牢记主耶稣的话，‘施比受更有福。’”

36 When Paul had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.

36 保罗说完这番话，就和大家一同跪下祷告。

37 They all wept openly as they embraced Paul and kissed him.

37 众人都哭了，抱着保罗与他亲吻，

38 They were especially grieved by his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.

38 最使他们伤心的就是他说“你们再也见不到我的面了”。随后，众人送他上了船。
