Acts 19
1 It fortuned whyll Appollo was at Corinthum that Paul passed thorow the vpper costes and came to Ephesus and foude certayne disciples
Pea ʻi he kei nofo ʻa ʻApolosi ʻi Kolinitō, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Paula ki ʻEfesō, ʻi he hili ʻa ʻene fononga ʻi he ngaahi potu tukuʻuta; pea ne ʻilo ai ʻae ākonga niʻihi,
2 and sayd vnto them: have ye receaved the holy gost sence ye beleved? And they sayde vnto him: no we have not hearde whether ther be eny holy goost or no.
Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou maʻu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni talu hoʻomou tui?” Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku teʻeki ai te mau fanongo pe ʻoku ai ha Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.”
3 And he sayd vnto them: wher wt were ye then baptised? And they sayd: with Iohns baptim
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Pea ne mou papitaiso ki he hā?” Pea nau pehē, “Ki he papitaiso ʻa Sione.”
4 Then sayde Paul: Iohn verely bapiised with the baptim of repentaunce sayinge vnto the people that they shuld beleve on him which shuld come after him: that is on Christ Iesus.
Pea toki pehē ʻe Paula, “Ko e moʻoni naʻe papitaiso ʻaki ʻe Sione ʻae papitaiso ki he fakatomala, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai, ke nau tui kiate ia ʻe fakamuimui ʻiate ia, ʻa ia, ko Kalaisi Sisu.
5 When they hearde that they were baptised in the name of the lorde Iesu.
Pea ʻi he nau fanongo eni naʻa nau papitaiso ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.
6 And Paul layde his hondes apon them and the holy gost came on them and they spake with tonges and prophesied
Pea kuo hilifaki ʻae nima ʻo Paula kiate kinautolu, pea hoko kiate kinautolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni; pea naʻa nau leaʻaki ʻae lea kehekehe, mo nau kikite.
7 and all the men were aboute. xii.
Pea ko e tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua nai ʻakinautolu.
8 And he went into the synagoge and behaved him selfe boldely for the space of thre monethes disputynge and gevynge them exhortacions of the kyngdome of God.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ki he falelotu, ʻo ako mālohi ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu, ʻo ne fakamatala mo fakapapau atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
9 When dyvers wexed harde herted and beleved not but spake evyll of the waye and that before the multitude: he departed from them and seperated the disciples. And disputed dayly in ye scole of one called Tyranus.
Kae ʻi he fakafefeka ʻae niʻihi, mo ʻikai tui, kae lea kovi ki he hala ko ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, naʻa ne mahuʻi ʻiate kinautolu, mo ne vahevahe [mei ai ]ʻae kau ākonga, pea malanga ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi he fale lautohi ʻoe tangata ko Tilano.
10 And this contynued by the space of two yeares: so yt all they which dwelt in Asia hearde the worde of the lorde Iesu bothe Iewes and Grekes.
Pea ne fai ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua; ko ia naʻe fanongo ai ki he folofola ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi ʻEsia, ʻae kakai Siu mo e Kiliki.
11 And god wrought no small miracles by the hondes of Paul:
Pea naʻe fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi mana fakaofo ʻi he nima ʻo Paula:
12 so that from his body were brought vnto the sicke napkyns or partlettes and the diseases departed from the and the evyll spretes went out of them.
He naʻe ʻave mei hono sino ʻae ngaahi holoholo mo e noʻo, ki he kakai mahaki, pea naʻe mahuʻi ʻae mahaki ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻalu ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau laumālie kovi.
13 Then certayne of the vagabounde Iewes exorcistes toke apon them to call over them which had evyll spretes the name of the lorde Iesus sayinge: We adiure you by Iesu who Paul preacheth.
Pea ko e kau Siu niʻihi naʻe feʻaluʻaki fano, ko e kau fie mana, naʻa nau fai ke ui ʻaki ʻae huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu kiate kinautolu naʻe ulusino ai ʻae ngaahi laumālie kovi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mau fekau mālohi kiate kimoutolu ia Sisu, ʻaia ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻe Paula.”
14 And ther were seven sonnes of one Sceva a Iewe and chefe of the prestes which dyd so.
Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻae ngaahi foha ʻe toko fitu ʻo Siva, ko e Siu, pea ko e taulaʻeiki lahi.
15 And the evyll sprete answered and sayde: Iesus I knowe and Paul I knowe: but who are ye?
Pea naʻe lea ʻae laumālie kovi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻa Sisu, pea ʻoku ou ʻilo mo Paula; ka ko hai ʻakimoutolu?”
16 And ye man in who the evyll sprete was ranne on the and overcame the and prevayled agaynst them so that they fledde out of that housse naked and wouded.
Pea naʻe ʻoho kiate kinautolu ʻae tangata naʻe ulusino ai ʻae laumālie kovi, pea naʻa ne ikuna ʻakinautolu, mo fai mālohi kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa nau feholaki mei he fale ko ia kuo nau telefua mo makafokafo.
17 And this was knowen to all ye Iewes and Grekes also which dwelt at Ephesus and feare came on them all and they magnified the name of ye lorde Iesus.
Pea naʻe ʻilo eni ʻe he Siu mo e Kiliki kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi ʻEfesō; pea naʻe tō ʻae manavahē kiate kinautolu kotoa pē, pea naʻe ongoongolelei ai ʻae huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.
18 And many yt beleved came and confessed and shewed their workes.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tokolahi naʻe tui, ke vete mo fakahā ʻenau ngaahi faianga.
19 Many of the which vsed curious craftes brought their bokes and burned the before all men and they counted the price of the and foude it fifty thousande silverlynges.
Pea ko e tokolahi, ʻiate kinautolu naʻe ngāue fakafiemana, naʻa nau ʻomi ʻo fakataha ʻenau ngaahi tohi, ʻo tutu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai: pea naʻa nau lau hono totongi [ʻoe ngaahi tohi], ko e paʻanga siliva ʻe nima mano.
20 So myghtely grewe ye worde of god and prevayled.
He naʻe mātuʻaki tupulekina pea mālohi ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
21 After these thinges were ended Paul purposed in the sprete to passe over Macedonia and Achaia and to goo to Ierusalem saying: After I have bene there I must also se Rome.
Pea kuo hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe maʻu ʻae loto ʻo Paula ke ʻalu ki Selūsalema, ʻoka hili ʻene ʻalu ʻi Masitōnia, mo ʻAkeia, pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOka hili ʻeku ʻalu ki ai, ʻe totonu ke u vakai foki ki Loma.”
22 So sent he into Macedonia two of the that ministred vnto him Timotheus and Erastus: but he him selfe remayned in Asia for a season.
Pea fekau ʻe ia ke ō ki Masitōnia ʻae toko ua ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tauhi kiate ia, ko Timote mo Eleasito; ka naʻe kei nofo siʻi ia ʻi ʻEsia.
23 The same tyme ther arose no lytell a do aboute that waye.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻae maveuveu lahi, ko e meʻa ʻi he lotu ko ia.
24 For a certayne man named Demetrius a silvermyth which made silver schrynes for Diana was not a lytell beneficiall vnto the craftes men.
He ko e tangata ko Temetelio hono hingoa, ko e tufunga ngaohi siliva, naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae teunga siliva ki he fale lahi ʻo Taiena, pea naʻe lahi ʻae koloa naʻe maʻu ai ʻe he kau tufunga;
25 Which he called to geder with the worke men of lyke occupacion and sayd: Syrs ye knowe that by this crafte we have vauntage.
Pea naʻa ne fakakātoa ʻakinautolu, mo e kakai naʻa nau kaunga faiva fakataha mo ne pehē, “ʻAe kau matāpule, ʻoku mou ʻilo ko e meʻa ʻi he faiva ni ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻetau koloa.
26 Moreover ye se and heare that not alone at Ephesus but almost thorowe oute all Asia this Paul hath persuaded and turned awaye moche people saying yt they be not goddes which are made wt hondes.
Pea ko eni, ʻoku mou mamata mo fanongo kuo fakalotoʻi mo fakatafoki ʻe Paula ni ʻae kakai tokolahi, ʻikai ʻi ʻEfesō pē, kae meimei ʻi ʻEsia kotoa pē, ʻi heʻene pehē, ʻOku ʻikai ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻaia ʻoku ngaohi ʻe he nima:
27 So that not only this oure crafte cometh into parell to be set at nought: but also that ye temple of ye greate goddas Diana shuld be despysed and her magnificence shuld be destroyed which all Asia and the worlde worshippeth.
Pea ʻe ʻikai ngata ʻi he manukiʻi ʻo ʻetau faiva ni; ka ʻe taukaea foki mo e fale lahi ʻoe ʻotua fefine ongoongo ko Taiena, pea ʻe maumau mo hono nāunau, ʻaia ʻoku hū ki ai ʻa ʻEsia mo māmani kotoa pē.”
28 When they hearde these sayinges they were full of wrathe and cryed out saying: Greate is Diana of the Ephesians.
Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo, naʻa nau fonu ʻi he ʻita, mo nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku lahi ʻa Taiena ʻoe kakai ʻEfesō.”
29 And all the cite was on a roore and they russhed in to the comen hall with one assent and caught Gayus and Aristarcus men of Macedonia Pauls companios.
Pea naʻe maveuveu ʻae kolo kotoa pē: pea kuo nau puke ʻa Keio mo ʻAlisitako, ko e ongo tangata Masitōnia, ko e kau fononga ʻo Paula, naʻa nau feʻohofi fakataha ki he fale faiva.
30 When Paul wolde have entred in vnto the people ye disciples suffered him not.
Pea naʻe fie ʻalu atu ʻa Paula ki loto ki he kakai, ka naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe he kau ākonga.
31 Certayne also of ye chefe of Asia which were his frendes sent vnto him desyrynge him that he wolde not preace into the comen hall.
Pea ko e niʻihi ʻi he kau matāpule ʻo ʻEsia, ko hono kāinga, naʻa nau fekau atu, ʻo kole kiate ia ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa ʻalu ia ki he fale faiva.
32 Some cryed one thinge and some another and the congregacion was all out of quiet and ye moare parte knewe not wherfore they were come togeder.
Pea kalanga ʻaki ʻe he niʻihi ha meʻa ʻe taha, pea ko e niʻihi ha meʻa kehe: he naʻe puputuʻu ʻae kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he tokolahi pe ko e hā kuo nau fakataha ai.
33 Some of the company drue forth Alexander the Iewes thrustynge him forwardes. Alexander beckened with the honde and wolde have geven ye people an answer.
Pea naʻa nau taki mai ʻa ʻAlekisānita, mei he kakai, pea fokotuʻu ia ʻe he kakai Siu. Pea taʻalo ʻaki ʻe ʻAlekisānita hono nima, ʻo fie fakamatala ki he kakai.
34 When they knewe ye he was a Iewe ther arose a shoute almost for the space of two houres of all men cryinge greate is Diana of the Ephesians.
Ka ʻi heʻenau ʻilo ko e Siu ia, naʻa nau kalanga fakataha kotoa pē ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ʻe ua, “ʻOku lahi ʻa Taiena ʻoe kakai ʻEfesō.”
35 When the toune clarcke had ceased the people he sayd: ye men of Ephesus what man is it that knoweth not how that the cite of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddas Diana and of ye ymage which came fro heven.
Pea kuo lolomi ʻae kakai ʻe he matāpule tohi ʻoe kolo, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e kakai ʻEfesō, ko hai ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻoku tapu ʻae kolo ko ʻEfesō kia Taiena, ko e ʻotua fefine ʻoku lahi, pea mo e [tamapua ]naʻe tō hifo meia Supita?
36 Seinge then yt no man sayth here agaynst ye ought to be content and to do nothinge rasshly:
Pea ko eni, ʻi he ʻikai faʻa lea kehe ʻe ha taha ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, ko ia ʻoku totonu ai ke mou nofo pē, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha meʻa ʻi he ʻohonoa.
37 For ye have brought hyther these me whiche are nether robbers of churches nor yet despisers of youre goddes.
He kuo mou taki mai ʻae kau tangata ni, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e kau kaihaʻa mei he ngaahi fale fakaʻeiki, pe ko e kau lea kovi ki homou ʻotua fefine.
38 Wherfore yf Demetrius and the craftes men which are wt him have eny sayinge to eny man the lawe is open and ther are ruelars let the accuse one another.
Pea kapau ʻoku ia Temetelio, mo e kau tufunga ʻoku ʻiate ia, ha meʻa ki ha taha, ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi fakamaauʻanga, pea ʻoku ai mo e kau fakamaau: tuku ke nau fetalatalaaki ai ʻakinautolu.
39 Yf ye goo about eny other thinge it maye be determined in a lawfull cogregacion
Pea ka ko haʻamou fehuʻi ki ha ngaahi meʻa kehe, ʻe fakamaau ia ʻi he fakataha totonu.
40 For we are in ieoperdy to be accused of this dayes busines: for as moche as ther is no cause wherby we maye geve a rekenynge of this concourse of people.
Koeʻuhi naʻa ʻeke kiate kitautolu ki he maveuveu ʻoe ʻaho ni, he ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa fakahā hano ʻuhinga ʻoe fakataha ni.”
41 And when he had thus spoken he let the congregacion departe.
Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, naʻe tutuku ʻe ia ʻae fakataha.
