Acts (The Things the Apostle Dem Do)
20 When the people stop demonstrating, Paul call the disciple dem. When he finish encouraging them, he tell them bye-bye, and he started going to Mac·e·doʹni·a. 2 When he wor passing through Mac·e·doʹni·a, he really encourage the people dem who wor there da accept the good news. After da, he reach to Greece. 3 He stay there for three months. But when he wor thinking about getting in the ship to go to Syria, he got to know da the Jews wor planning to kill him. Because of da, he pass through Mac·e·doʹni·a to go back. 4 The people dem da wor traveling with him wor Pyrʹrhus son who name wor Sopʹa·ter da wor from Be·roeʹa, Ar·is·tarʹchus and Se·cunʹdus who wor from Thes·sa·loʹnica, also Timothy, Gaʹius who wor from Derʹbe, Tychʹi·cus and Trophʹi·mus who wor from Asia. 5 This men dem went in front of us and they wor waiting for us in Troʹas. 6 But after the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, we enter one ship and left from Phi·lipʹpi. And in five days time we reach to them in Troʹas, and we spend seven days there.
7 On the first day in the week, when all of us came together to eat, Paul started talking with them, because he wor coming leave them the next day. But he talk for long until midnight. 8 And the room we wor in upstair wor having plenty lamps. 9 One young man name Euʹty·chus wor sitting down to the window and sleep carry him when Paul wor still talking. And because he wor sleeping, he fall down from the upstairs building and when they reach there he already na die. 10 Paul went downstairs, and bend down over him and hug him, and he say: “Yor stop crying, he living.” 11 Then Paul went upstair and started eating. He continue talking for some time until daybreak. Then he left from there. 12 So they carry the boy home, and they wor happy bad way because he came back to life.
13 We got in the ship and went in front to Asʹsos, but Paul decide to walk and go there. We plan to carry him from there just how he tell us. 14 When Paul catch up with us in Asʹsos, we put him in the ship and went to Mit·y·leʹne. 15 The next day, we got in the ship and went to Chiʹos. On the second day, we stop to Saʹmos for short time, and on the third day, we reach to Mi·leʹtus. 16 Paul never wanted to spend any time in Asia. So he pass by Ephʹe·sus because he wor rushing to reach to Jerusalem on the day of the Festival of Pentecost.
17 But when he wor in Mi·leʹtus he send message to Ephʹe·sus and tell the elder dem in the congregation to come. 18 When they came to him, he tell them say: “From the first day I came to Asia, yor know good-good how I live when I wor among yor. 19 I use to work for the Lord just like slave and I bring myself down. Also, I use to cry and I went through plenty problems because the Jews wanted to kill me. 20 And yor know da I not stop telling yor any of the thing dem da will benefit yor. I not stop teaching yor in front of everybody and I not stop going from house to house. 21 But I preach good-good to the Jews and Greek people for them to repent, worship God and get faith in our Lord Jesus. 22 And see! The spirit directing me to go to Jerusalem even though I not know what will happen to me there. 23 I only know da from city to city the holy spirit na tell me over and over, da they will put me in jail and suffer me when I reach there. 24 But I not see my life* to be something da important to me. Also, I just want finish what I get to do and the work the Lord Jesus give me. And da work da to really preach* the good news about God special kindness.
25 “I know da all of yor who I preach to about the Kingdom will never see me again. 26 I call yor today to tell yor da nobody will blame me for anybody death.* 27 And da because I na tell yor everything da God want do. 28 Yor pay attention to yourself and to all the sheep dem. The holy spirit na choose yor to be overseers among them, and to take care of* God congregation da he buy with his own Son blood. 29 I know da when I go, wicked wolf dem will come among yor and they will treat the sheep dem bad. 30 And some men dem among yor will twist the truth to make the disciples to leave the congregation and follow them.
31 “So yor mon not sleep. And yor remember da for three years, every day and night, I never stop advising each of yor and I use to even cry when I talking with yor. 32 Let God and the word about his special kindness protect yor. And this word will make yor strong and open the way for yor to get what God will give the people dem who he na choose. 33 I never try to take anybody silver or gold or their clothes. 34 Yourself yor know da I can work with my hands to take care of myself and the people who with me. 35 In everything, I na show yor da yor mon work hard to help the people dem da discourage. And yor mon always remember the thing the Lord Jesus say. He say: ‘You will be more happy when you give to people than when people give to you.’”
36 When Paul finish saying this thing dem, he kneel down with all of them and pray. 37 All of them cry bad way, and they hug Paul and kiss him. 38 And da because it really hurt them to hear him say they will not see him again. Then they carry him to the ship.
