Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
Lukale kuuti u Apologize ye aliku Korintho upaulo akakila ku kyanya na kufika kulikaja lya Efeso, pe akavonaakavona avavulanisivua vamo ukuo.
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 Paulo akam'bula, “Nde, mukamwupile uMhepo u Mwimike yemukitike?” Vakam'bula, “nambe, natulyapulike ndavule uMhepo u Mwimike.”
3 He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
U Paulo akaati, “lino umue mukofwighue ndani?” Vakaati, “Mulwofugho ulwa Yohana.
4 Paul said, “John indeed baptized 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.”
Kange uPaulo akamula, “U Yohana alyofwighe ulwofugho ulwa lulato. Akavavula avanhu vala kuuti mulondua kukumwitika jula juno ikwisa pa mwene, ndavule, u Yesu.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Avanhu ye vapulike imola iiji, peva kofughua kulitavua lya Mutwa Yesu.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
Lukale u Paulo yavikile amavoko gha mwene kuvanave, uMhepo u Mwimike Akita kuvanave pe akatengula kujova injovele kuviila.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
Palikimo Avenue valyale avaghosi kijigho nava viili.
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.
U Paulo alyalutile kunyumba ijakufunyila akajova na Kun'kangasia amasiki gha meesi ghatatu. Alyale ilongosia kupuling'ana nakuvakwesa avaanhu vano valungime vwimila u vutua uvwa Nguluve.
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.
Looli ava Yahudi avange valyale vakali avange vano navikwitika, valyatengwile kujova amavivi kulungama musila ija Kilisite pavulongolo pa kipugha. Kange u Paulo akalekine na veene pe akavabaghula vano vikutika navene. Umwene akatengula kujova mufighono fyooni kuvukumbi uvwa Tirano.
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.
Ulu lulyaghendelile amaka gha viili, looli vonivoni valyle vikukala ku Asia valyapulike ilisio lya Mutwa, vooni ava Yahudi nava Yunani.
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
U nguluve alyale ivomba imbombo mumavoko agha Paulo,
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.
kuuti avatamu valyavuvusivue, nu Mhepo umulamafu akavahuma, unsiki ghono valyalolile ikitambala namenda ghano ghakahumile mum'bili gha Paaulo.
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.”
Looli pevalyale ava Yahudi vano valyale vipunga uvupepo vikyula kukilila ikisala ikio, vakavombelagha ilitavua lya Yesu vwimila vuvanave vavuo. Valyavavulile vala kuuti valyale niili pepo ililamafu; vakaati, “Nikuvavula muhume mulitavua lya Yesu juno u Paulo ikun'dalikila.”
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Vano valyaghavombile agha valyale vaana budika lubali vwa ntekesi umbaha ughwa kiyahudi, ni Skewa.
15 The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
Amapepo amalamafu vakavamula, “U Yesu nun'kaguile, naju Paulo ni n'kaguile; looli umwe mwemue va veeni?” Jula umhepo umulamafu akavahadukila
16 The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
mun'kate mwa munhu ava punga vupepo na akavasinda ingufu na kukuvatova. Pe vakakimbilila kuhuma munyumba jila vakale sila Manda kange vakalemile.
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.
Ilio likakagulika ku vooni, ava Yahudi nava Yunani, vano valyale vikukala kuula ku Efeso. Valyale nuludwesi luvaha fiijo, nilitavua lya Mutwa likongelela kupulikika.
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
Kange, vinga avaviitiki valisile nakulata kange vakasimilisia imbombo imbivi sino vakavombile.
19 Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Vinga valyale vivomba uvughanga vakakong'ania ifitabu fivanave, vakanyanya pa vulongolo pa munhu ghweni. Unsiki avene ye vavalile ulutalama lwa fiinu, lilyalelilyale fighavo fijigho fihano ifya ndalama.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
Pa uluo ilisio lya Mutwa likakwilana muvukome fiijo uvwa ngufu.
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.”
Isa Paulo kukwilana imbombo inofu ija mwene kula ku Efeso, u Mhepo akamulongosia kuluta ku Yerusalemu kukilila ku Makedonia naku Akaya; akaati, “Yekwene ukuo, jininoghile kujagha i Rumi.”
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
U Paulo akavomola ku Makedonia avavulanisivua va mwene vaviili, Timotheo nu Erasto, vano valyale vikutanga. Looli umwene jujuo akajighe ku Asia mu nsiki.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Unsiki ughuo kukahumile ulunjughanjugha ulukome ukuo ku Efeso vwimila isiila jiila.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
U sonora jumo ilitavua lyamwene Demetrio, juno alyatendile ifihwan ifya ndalama ifya Nguluve Diana, alyaletile ifighusivua ifivaha kuvamang'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.
Pe akavakong'ania ava mang'anyi ava mbombo jila na kuuti, “Vagojo mukagwile kuuti mufighusivua ifii tukwingisia indalama nyinga.
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.
Mulola na kupulika kuuti, usue tuliapa pa Efeso, looli pipi ni Asia jooni, u Paulo uju avavulile na kuvashetulania avanhu viinga. Ijova kuuti kweghasili amanumbela Ghana ghavombilue na mavoko.
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.”
Na kwekuuti kwelile ulutalaamu kuuti ifighusivua fiitu nafilonduagha kange, looli nii nyumba ija Nguluve ijakufunyila umama um'baha u Diana lunoghile kusyojola kuuti asita luvumbulilo. Kange anoghile asovile uvuvaha vwa mwene, juno i Asia ni iisi jikufunya kwa mwene.”
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Ye vapulike agha, vakamemile ni ng'alasi kange vakajeghela, vakaati, “U Diana ughwa Efeso ghwe m'baha.”
29 The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.
Ilikaja lioni likamemile ulunjughanjugha, navanhu vakakimbila mun'kate muvukumbi uvwa luneno. Vakavakolile vano vikyula avanine nhu Paulo, u Gayo nu Aristariko, vano vakahumile ku Makedonia.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
U Paulo alyalondile kukwingila mukipugha kya vanhu, looli avavulanisivua vakan'sigha.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
Kange, avagoyo vamo ava kisina ava ku Asia vano valyale vamanyani va mwene vakantwalila imola inofu kungufu kukunsuma alike pikwingila muvukumbi uvwaluneno.
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.
Avanhu vamo valyale viiti ikiinu iiki na vange ilisio lila, ulyakuva ikipugha kya vanhu kilyahasiling'ine. Vinga vavanave navakakagwile nambe kuuti nakiki valisile palikimo.
33 They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
Ava Yahudi vakantwala u Iskanda kunji kukipugha kya vanhu na pikum'bika pavulongolo pa vanhu. U iskanda akahumia ikidegho muluvok lwa mwene kuhumia uvwolesi ku vanhu.
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!”
Looli yeva kagwiile kuuti umene mu Yahudi, vooni vakajeghela ku lisio limo munsiki ghwa lmasala ghavili, “U Diana ghwe m'baha ughwa va Efeso.”
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?
Pa uluo umulembi ughwa likaja akanyamasia ikipugha, akaati, 'Umwe mwe vaghosi ava Efeso ghweveni Juno nakagwiile kuuti ilikaja lya Efeso juno ikolelela inyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila ija Diana umbaha nikila ikihwani kino kikaghwile kuhuma kukyanya?
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
Kulola kuuti amasio agha naghangakagulike, tulondua kuuti tuve Kimmie kange namungavombaghe kyooni ikya ng'aning'ani.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Ulwakuva ulwakuva muvakemelile avanhu ava pa ndinde vano navaliasi ava nyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila nambe navikum'beda u Nguluve ghwiitu un'dala.
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.
Ku uluo, ndavule u Demetrio na mang'anyi vano valipalikimo nu mwene valinamavoko vwimila vwa munhu ghweni, indinde si dindulivue navasikari pevale. Pe valetue pavulongolo pa highi.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Looli ndavule uve ungalonde kyekyoni kila ghusimilisa amasio aghange, ghivombua mukikalo ikya kyang'haani.
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.”
Sa kyang'ani tuluvivi ulwakuhighua vwimila ulunjughanjugha vwimila ulwa kighono iki. Kusiila lumonga ulwakunangika isi, kange nakwande tuva ningufu isa kwolelela.
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Ye ajovile agha, akapalasinie ifipugha.
