1 Apollos Corinthen cela guertha cedin, Paul garaico bazter guciac iraganic ethor baitzedin Ephesera: eta han discipulu batzu eridenic erran ciecén,
While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul went through the interior regions and came to Ephesus, where he came across some disciples.
2 Ala recebitu duçue Spiritu saindua sinhetsi vkan duçuenean? Eta hec erran cieçoten, Are Spiritu saindua denez-ere, eztiagu ençun.
He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 Orduan dioste, Certan bada batheyatu içan çarete? Eta hec erran ceçaten, Ioannesen Baptismoan.
So Paul said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John's baptism.”
4 Orduan Paulec erran ceçan, Ioannesec batheyatu vkan du emendamenduco Baptismoaz, ciotsala populuari, haren ondotic ethorteco cena baithan sinhets leçaten, erran nahi baita, Iesus Christ baithan.
Then Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”
5 Gauça hauc ençunic bada, batheya citecen Iesus Iaunaren icenean.
On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 Eta escuac gainean eçarri cerauztenean Paulec, ethor cedin Spiritu saindua hayén gainera, eta minçatzen ciraden lengoagez, eta prophetizatzen çutén.
And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying.
7 Eta guiçon hauc gucioc ciraden hamabitarano.
There were about twelve men in all.
8 Guero bera sarthuric synagogán, Frangoqui minçatzen cen, hirur hilebethez disputatzen eta exhortatzen ari cela Iaunaren resumari dagozcan gaucéz.
Over a period of three months Paul would go into the synagogue and speak boldly, reasoning and persuading the people about the kingdom of God.
9 Eta nola batzu gogortzen baitziraden eta ezpaitzuten obeditu nahi, gaizqui Iaunaren bideaz minçatzen ciradela populuaren aitzinean, hetaric bera partituric, separa citzan discipuluac, egun oroz disputatzen ari cela Tyranno baten escholán.
But some became hardened and refused to believe, speaking evil of the Way in front of the congregation. So Paul left them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the lecture hall of a man named Tyrannus.
10 Eta haur eguin içan cen bi vrthez: hala non Asian habitatzen ciraden guciéc, ençuten baitzutén Iesus Iaunaren hitza, hambat Iuduéc nola Grecoéc.
This continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the word of the Lord Jesus.
11 Eta costumatu etziraden verthuteac eguiten cituen Iaincoac Paulen escuz:
Now God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 Hala non are erién gainera ekarten baitzituzten haren gorputz gainetic crobitchetac eta conciertoac, eta ioaiten baitziraden hetaric eritassunac, eta spiritu gaichtoac hetaric ilkiten baitziraden.
so that even cloths or aprons that had touched his skin were placed upon the sick, and their diseases left them, and evil spirits came out of them.
13 Orduan enseya citecen hara huna ebilten ciraden Iudu exorcista batzu spiritu gaichtoac cituztenén gainean Iesus Iaunaren icenaren inuocatzen, erraiten çutela, Coniuratzen çaituztegu Paulec predicatzen duen Iesusen partez.
Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists attempted to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits. They would say, “We adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
14 (Eta ciraden Sceua Iudu Sacrificadore principalarenic çazpi seme, haur eguiten çutenac)
Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were doing this.
15 Baina ihardesten çuela spiritu gaichtoac, erran ceçan, Iesus eçagutzen diat, eta Paul baceaquiat nor den: baina çuec nor çarete?
But one day an evil spirit responded, “I know Jesus, and I am acquainted with Paul, but who are you?”
16 Eta oldarturic hetara spiritu gaichtoa çuen guiçonac, eta hæy garaithuric, bortcha eguin ceçan hayén contra: hala non biluzgorriric eta çaurthuric ihes eguin baitzeçaten etche hartaric.
Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled from the house naked and wounded.
17 Eta haur ethor cedin gucién eçagutzera hambat Iuduen nola Greco Ephesen habitatzen ciradenénera: eta eror cedin beldurra hayen gucien gainera, eta magnificatzen cen Iesus Iaunaren icena.
When this became known to all the Jews and Greeks who dwelt in Ephesus, fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.
18 Eta sinhetsi çutenetaric anhitz ethorten ciraden confessatzen eta declaratzen cituztela bere eguinac.
Many who had become believers came forward, confessing and disclosing their practices,
19 Arte curiositatezcoz vsatu vkan çutenec-ere, anhitzec bere liburuäc ekarriric erre citzaten gucién aitzinean: eta hayén valioa estimaturic eriden ceçaten berroguey eta hamar milla dinerorena.
while many who practiced magical arts brought their books together and began burning them in front of everyone. When the value of the books was added up, the total came to fifty thousand silver coins.
20 Hala botheretsuqui augmentatzen cen Iaunaren hitza eta confirmatzen.
In this way the word of the Lord was increasing and prevailing mightily.
21 Gauça hauc hunela complitu ciradenean delibera ceçan Paulec Spirituaz, Macedonia eta Achaia iraganic Ierusalemera ioaitera, cioela, Han içan ondoan, Roma-ere ikussi behar dut.
After these things had taken place, Paul resolved in his spirit to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go on to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must see Rome also.”
22 Eta igorriric Macedoniara aiutatzen çutenetaric biga baitziraden Timotheo eta Erasto, bera gueldi cedin dembora batetacotz Asian.
So he sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he himself stayed in Asia for a period of time.
23 Baina eguin cedin dembora hartan truble handibat doctrinaren causaz.
About that time a great disturbance arose concerning the Way.
24 Ecen Demetrius deitzen cen cilharguile, Dianaren cilharrezco templetchoguile batec, anhitz irabaz eraciten cerauen officiocoey:
For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought in a great deal of business to the craftsmen.
25 Hec bilduric, eta halaco gaucetaco officier ciradenac, erran ceçan, Guiçonác, badaquiçue ecen officio hunetaric heldu diradela gure onac:
He gathered these men together, along with those who worked in similar trades, and said, “Men, you know that our wealth is derived from this business.
26 Eta badacussaçue eta badançuçue nola ez Ephesen solament, baina quasi Asia gucian Paul hunec sinhets eraciric itzuli duela populu handi, erraiten duela, ecen eztiradela iainco escuz eguiten diradenac.
You also see and hear that, not only in Ephesus, but in nearly all of Asia, this man Paul has persuaded and drawn away a considerable crowd, saying that gods made by hands are not gods at all.
27 Eta peril da ez solament gure gauça descrida dadin, baina are Diana handiaren templea guehiagoric deus estima eztadin, eta deseguin eztadin haren maiestate Asia guciac eta munduac ohoratzen dutena.
Not only is there the danger that this trade of ours might come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis might be regarded as nothing, and that her magnificence might be brought down, whom all Asia and the world worship.”
28 Eta gauça hauc ençunic, eta hiraz betheric oihuz iar citecen, Ephesianoen Diana handiá!
When they heard this, they were filled with rage and began crying out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
29 Eta bethe cedin hiri gucia confusionez, eta oldar citecen gogo batez theatrera, harturic Gayo eta Aristarche Macedonianoac, Paulen bideco lagunac.
So the whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the amphitheater, seizing Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians who were Paul's traveling companions.
30 Eta Paul populua baithara sarthu nahi cenean, etzeçaten vtzi discipuluéc.
Although Paul wanted to go into the public assembly, the disciples would not let him.
31 Baina Asiaco principaletaric batzuc-ere, nola baitziraden haren adisquide, harengana igorriric othoitz ceguioten, ez ledin theatrera presenta.
Even some of the provincial officials of Asia, who were friends of Paul, sent word to him, begging him not to venture into the amphitheater.
32 Bada batzu bataz oihuz ceuden, eta berceac berceaz: ecen confus cen compainiá, eta anhitzec etzaquiten cergatic bildu içan ciraden.
Now some were shouting one thing, and some were shouting another, for the assembly was confused, and the majority did not know for what reason they had come together.
33 Orduan gendetzetic campora auança ceçaten Alexandre, Iuduéc hura bulkatzen çutela. Eta Alexandrec, ichil litecen escuaz keinu eguinic, nahi ceraucan causá allegatu populuari.
So the Jews put forward Alexander, who was then brought before the crowd. Alexander motioned with his hand, wishing to make a defense to the public assembly.
34 Baina eçagutu çutenean ecen hura Iudu cela, altcha cedin gucietaric vozbat, quasi bi orenez oihu eguiten çutela, Ephesianoén Diana handiá!
But when they realized he was a Jew, a single outcry arose from them all as they shouted for about two hours, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
35 Orduan scribariac gendetzea appacegaturic, erran ceçan, Epheseco guiçonác, cein da guiçona eztaquiana ecen Epheseco hiria dedicatua dela Diana handiaren, eta Iupiterganic iautsi içan den imaginaren cerbitzura?
When the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, “Men of Ephesus, who is there that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is the temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis and of the image that fell down from Zeus?
36 Nehor bada gauça hautan contrasta ecin daitenaren gainean, appacega çaitezten beharda, eta deus desordenatuqui eztaguiçuen.
Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you must keep calm and not do anything rash.
37 Ecen ekarri vkan dituçue guiçon hauc ezpaitirade ez sacrilege, ez ezpaitute çuen iaincossá diffamatzen.
For you have brought these men here who are neither temple robbers nor blasphemers of your goddess.
38 Beraz baldin Demetriusec eta harequin diraden officieréc eguitecoric baduté cembeiten contra, gorte eduquiten da, eta badirade Proconsulac, elkar accusa beçate.
So if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges against one another.
39 Eta baldin berce gauçaz deus galdeguiten baduçue, congregatione bidezqui bilduan concludi ahal daite.
But if you seek anything concerning other matters, it must be settled in the lawful assembly.
40 Ecen peril da seditionez accusa ezgaitecen, egungo egunagatic, truble huneçaz raçoin eman ahal deçaquegun causaric eztenaz gueroz.
For we are in danger of being charged with rioting in connection with today's events, since there is no reason we can give to account for this disorderly gathering.”
41 Eta gauça hauc erran cituenean biltzarreari congit eman cieçón.
And after saying this, he dismissed the assembly.
