Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
Pu yeikhava uApolo avile alei khu Koritho, Pavuli akhava amalile ukhunghendela eikhilunga eikhyapanghati pu akhafikha khuvunchenge uvwakhu Efeso, ukhwa avavona avakongi avange.
2 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
U Pavuli akhavavula akhata, “Mwaupeilile Umepo Umbalanche mwavile mweideikhe?” Vakhata, “Ndeili hange satwapulikhe ukhunkongana nu Mepou Umbalanche ukhuta khwale.”
3 He said, “Into what then were you baptised?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
Pu Pavuli, “Leino umwe mwaonchiwe ndakheikhi?” Vakhata twa onchiwe ulwoncho lwa Yohani.
4 Paul said, “John indeed baptised with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”
Pu uPavuli akhanda akhata, “U Yohani avonchangha ulwoncho ulwakhupela inongwa. Pa akhavavula akhata panonghile ukhumweideikha wa uvei ikhwincha uYohani vwamalile imbombo pu uywa vei, Yeisu.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Pu avanu vavile vapulikhe ndavule ukhuta panonghile ukhumweideikha u Yeisu, pu vakhonchivwa mu nditavwa lya Yeisu unkuludeva.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
Pu uPavuli avile aveikhile amavokho ngha mwene pavene, u Mepo Umbalanche akhinja mumbeene, pu vakhatenghula ukhunchova munchovele incha ndeimi imya nu khulangha uvunyamalangho.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
Pu avene vooni vale avagosi eikhinchingho navaveili.
8 He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.
Pu uPavuli akhaluta akhingheila munyumba eiya vayuta eiyakhweisayila. Pu akhava nkifu pakhunchova inongwa kheisita khufiha amalile eimyenchi ngheidatu. Puu aleikhuvalonghocha avanu pakhweinchofancha nukhuvuhovosya avanu mundi menyu eilya ludeva lwa Nguluve puvei lekhukonga.
9 But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
Pu leino aAvayuta avange vale na matingo inumbula nchavo nchanghilimbile. Pa valeikhunchovela mbuvivi ukhukangana nei ni mbombo ncha Keileisite pa kheipungha khya vanu. Pa uPavuli akhalekhehana navo. Akhavaveikha ponu sakhava paninie navene, Pu leino amanchova nghoni aleikhunchova navo munyumba ya Tilani.
10 This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Akhava munu vakhuvomba ndavule eimyakha ngheiveili, pu leino voni vavo vatamangha khukhilunga eikhya mu Asiya valeipulikhe eilimenyu lya nkuludeva avanu voni Avayuta navava Gilikhi.
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
Unguluve pwakhavomba ifidengho ifivaha, vulinkuvombekha mumavokho ngha Pavuli,
12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
pakhuva navavatamu va ponangha, imepo imbivi nchavahumangha vuvatolile ifitambala nei myenda einghyahumile mumbeilei nghwa Pavuli.
13 But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
Pu valeipo Avayuta avahumya imepo imbivi vanghendangha nghendangha mukhilunga eikhyo, puvaleikhuleivombela eilitawa lya Yeisu mumbuvombeli vwavo vuvule. Pavaleikhuta khuvala avanya mepo imbivi; Valeikhuta, “Ni nchova nukhuvavula munditavwa iya Yeisu uvei uPavuli ikhundumbeleila.”
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Avavombangha ewo vale avana va Fikeva utekhenchi Umbaha mu Vayuta, vale avana lekhela khumo.
15 The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
Imepo imbivi nchikhamula nchikhata, “U Yeisu tumanyile uPavuli vope tumanyile; pu lieno umwe mwemwe vaveni?”
16 The man in whom the evil spirit was leapt on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Pu umepo umbivi pu akhahuma khumunu ula akhavanchumbeila akhavavola amakha nukhuvatola. Pu vakhanyila ukhuhuma munyumba yeila vuvalei vubwinda nukhulemala.
17 This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Pu einongwa eiyei yeikha manyeikheikha khu vanu voni khuva Yuta na va Gilikhi, vatamangha ukhu khu Efesi. Pu vakhava nuvudwaanchi fincho, pulei eililavwa lya Nkuludeva pulei leikhweimeikhivwa.
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
Pu khangi avaedeikhi vu vingi vakhincha pakhupela inongwa nchavo nukhuvonia vuvule imbombo imbivii inchuva vombile.
19 Many of those who practised magical arts brought their books together and burnt them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Avange vavingi vavo vavombangha ineha vuhavi vakhalundani ikalata nchavo incha vuhavi puvakhanchikoncha mumwoto pavanu voni vuvilola. Avane va vile vavalile vuhavi utengonghwa kalata ncha vuhavi vakhavona ava elufu eimilevulu nghihano einghya ndalama.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
Pu leino eilimenyu ilya Nkuludeva eikheilunga khyoni namakha.
21 Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
pu nchavile nchimalile ukhuvombekha nchooni inchi pu uPavuli akheisangheila munumbula ukhuluta khu Yelusalemu ukhunghendela khu Makedoniya na khu Akaya; Walei khu Efesi.”
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
U Pavuli akhavasuha khu Makedoniaya avakongi va mwene vaveilei, uTimoti nu Elasito, vavo vatangile. Pu umwene yuywa pakhaseikhi akhadebe.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Pa seikhi unghwa khwale nu khusita khupuleihana fincho khu Efesi ukhukongana neincheila ila.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Ulwakhuva umunu umo eilitavwa lya mwene vei Demetilio, uve ale punchi va hela ncha Nguluve Dyana, pu aleikhuvapa uvukavi avamang'anyi.
25 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
Pu leino akhavalundamania avamang'angi vambombo eiyo nu khuta, “Vavaha mulumanyile ukhuta mu mbombo eiya vukavi eiyi twikava indalama nyingi.
26 You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands.
Mwilola nukhupuleikha ukhuta, sayeilei bahapa pa Efesi, pu yeilei mu Asiya yooni, uPavuli uyu ukhuvakilivula avanu vuvingi. Pu ita ngheisikhuli eimi Nghuluve eingheipeliwe na mavokho.
27 Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
Pu sakhukhuta imbombo eiyo yene, punakhuta eimbo yavukavi eiyo yeilei mbubapala uvwakhusita kweimeikhiwa sayeikhavombeikhanghe na yei tembile eiy Nghuluve udala uvei veimbaha u Dyana pa ivonekhangha ukhuta sivumbuleila vuvuvaha vwa mwene uvei ei Asiya nei kheilunga khyooni khikhumweimeikha.”
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Vavile vapuleikhe inchi vakhadunghumbana nuluvipo pu vakhovela, vakhala, “u Dyana va mu Efesi vei mbaha.”
29 The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.
Pu uvunchenge vwoni vakhanunchwengho savaleikhu paleihana pu avanu vanyila pupaninie vakhingheila munyumba ya finchangho. Pu vakhavibata avanghe ncheila avanine va Pavuli, uGayo nu Alisitalikho, vavo vahumile khu Makedonia.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
U Pavuli anonghilwe ukhweingheila pa kheipungha khya vanu pu lieno avakongi vamwene vakhabencha.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theatre.
Itenge navange avavaha ava pakheilunga eikhya mu Asiya avavale vamanyani va mwene vakhasuheila undomo unghukhudova ukhuta ulekhe ukhwingheila munyumba ya finchangho.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.
Pu avanu avenge valeikhuta nda avange nde pakhuva eikheipungha khya vanu khyoni khyanchangheileihine, avingi mumbene valeimwa nakhukhulumanya kheikhi vakhinchile.
33 They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defence to the people.
Pu avange vakhangh'umya u Fikanda khunchi khukheipungha khya vanu pavakhambeikha pakyanya pa khipungha khya vanu. Pu umwene uFikanda akhatineila eikheivokho ukhuta pu anchove khu vanu.
34 But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Pu leino vavile valumanyile ukhuta umwene munu va khuva Yuta vooni pavakhovela neilimenyu leino, “uDyana veimbaha va mu Efesi.”
35 When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
Pu usimbi va vunchenye ukhukheinunancha eikhipungha, akhata, 'Umwe mwei vanghosi va mu Efesi, veeni uvei salumanyile ukhuta uvunchenge uvu uvwa Efesi nghulo ila khwembi le ya Dyana umbaha nei kheihwani kheila eikhya nghwile ukhuhuma khu kyanya?
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
Ulwakhuva imbombo inchi sanhibenchivwa pupanonghile ukhununala vuvule khisita khutingha pakhuvomba kheikhyoni.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Pakhuva muveilangile avanu ava pa nyumba ya vuheinghi avanu vavo savalyasi va tembile savanu avikhubeingha Unguluve veito udala.
38 If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
Pu lieno, eingave uDemetelio na vamang'anyi uvwaleipaninie navo visinana pa munu yuyoni, inyumba ncha vuheinghi nchilimwanchi puvanghenghananghe ukwa hange avaloleli vakhilunga khyuvale. Pavanghenghiwe pavuheinghi.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Pu leino uve ungave vukhunchilonda imbombo nchila ukhukongana ni nchinge, puyanchivombiwa pakhitama ikhinonghela nile.
40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”
Ncha yeilweli tuleimbupala uvwakhuheinghivwa savuli ya khumpela imbancha eyeivombikhe eilelo eiyei. Khuleinchila nongwa eiyakhupela eimbancha eiyei. Hange satukhave na makha ngha khyolelencha.
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Pu avile anchovile inchi akhava lavulila ikhipungha khya vanu.
