Katwa Nono Katwa 19
1 Na Apolos wadi korint, Bulus cino Firiziya nin Galantiya anin kata udu u Asia, amini wa kwilin udu Efisus. Anin zuro nin namong i woroghe inin ma anan yinusauyenuri.
During the stay of Apollos in Corinth, Paul, after passing through the inland districts, came to Ephesus, where he found a few disciples.
2 Atirino nani, “Inaseru Ufunu Ulau kubi kona ina yinin nin liru Kutellẹ? Inanin wa kwanghe iworo natina seru ba. Na tina lanza Ufunu Ulau ba”
"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you first believed?" he asked them. "No," they replied, "we did not even hear that there is a Holy Spirit."
3 Bulus tirino, “Na iwa shintin minu ushitunu ulauwe, iyaghari iwa yinin?” Inanin wa belinghe,”Tina yinin nin ilemon na Yohana unan su baptiszima na dursuzo”
"Into what then were you baptized?" he asked. "Into John's baptism," they replied.
4 Bulus woro(belle), “Yohana na sulsun(baptizpsima) anit alena ina chinu matiza ma nanzan. Amini wa belin anite i yinin nin lena ama dak amini na malin da ninkidun uleli unite amare wa di Yesu.”
"John," he said, "administered a baptism of repentance, bidding the people believe on One who was to come after him; namely, on Jesus."
5 Na anit ane lanza, inani wa su nanin ushitunu nmyen nanya lissan Cikilari Yesu.
On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;
6 Na isunani, Bulus tarda acarame kitene nati mine, likara Nruhu Ulau tolo nati mine. Uruhu Ulau nanani likara liru nin ton tilem to na inayiruba, inani tutung wa bellu kadura kanga na Uruhu Ulauwe wa belle nanin.
and when Paul laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.
7 Iwadi anit likure nin nan waba na Bulus wa shintin nani nmyen (Ubaptisima) isere Uruhu Ulau.
They numbered in all about twelve men.
8 Tipui titat wa kata, Bulus pira kitin zursu na Yahudawa nanya Afisus ko ayame Asabbat a dursuzo nani nin risu nani kitenen Yesu nin yizari Kutellẹ ma dursu litime amere Ugo.
Afterwards he went into the synagogue. There for three months he continued to preach fearlessly, explaining in words which carried conviction the truths which concern the Kingdom of God.
9 Na among a Yahudawa wa yinin nin kadure ba, na iwa di ninsu ilanza tutung ba. Inani wa yitan gwondulu nbellu nimong inanzan kitene nimon ile na Bulus wadi dursuzu nani. Bara nanin Bulus cino nanin ayira anan bi ninghe idi zuro kitin zursun Tiranus.
But some grew obstinate in unbelief and spoke evil of the new faith before all the congregation. So Paul left them, and, taking with him those who were disciples, held discussions daily in Tyrannus's lecture-hall.
10 Bulus tah akus aba ndursuzu nanite kikane. Nanya nani, ngbardang na Yahudawa ni nalege na iwadi a Yahudawaba, arika na iwa sosin nanya kusarin Asiya inin lanza kadura kitenen Cikilari Yesu.
This went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of the province of Asia, Jews as well as Greeks, heard the Lord's Message.
11 Kutellẹ tutung wa ni Bulus ku likara su nimong izikiki.
God also brought about extraordinary miracles through Paul's instrumentality.
12 Alena iwa dinin tikonu na ise udak kitin Bulus ba, vat kupori ko na Bulus ndudo, asa iyira idi tarda kitenen nan konu, iba shinu uruhu unanzanghe sun nani.
Towels or aprons, for instance, which Paul had handled used to be carried to the sick, and they recovered from their ailments, or the evil spirits left them.
13 Kikane tutung among a Yahudawa wadi diku na iwacinu nigbiri nigbiri, inanin wa ko tiruhu tinanzanghe nanya nani nite. Among a Yahudawa wa belu tiruhu tinanzanghe nuzun nanya nanite inin din bellu, “Indin bellu minu nuzun nanya likaran Cikilari Yesu, ulena Bulus na dursuzo nari kiteneme!”
But there were also some wandering Jewish exorcists who undertook to invoke the name of Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, "I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches."
14 Iwadi anit kuzora katwa kane. Asaun nmong unitari lissame wadi Sikava, ku Yahudawa, ulena awadin yiccu litime udya na prist.
There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew of high-priestly family, who were doing this.
15 Nlonliri ileo ubun kata kane, uruhu unanzanghe nari unuzu kitin nute. Uruhu unanzan woro nanin,”In yiru Yesu ku, nyiro Bulus ku, tutun na umong nani likara ida ti imong imong ba!”
"Jesus I know," the evil spirit answered, "and Paul I have heard of, but who are you?"
16 Nin belu nanin, kwak unit ulena awa dinin uruhu unazanghe tinna ayina adeu kitenen na saun Sikeve. Amini wa fọ nanin kap a lanza nanin ukule. Anin wa jarza nani imon. Ilanza fiu itina inuzu kilare icoo.
And the man in whom the evil spirit was sprang on two of them, over-mastered them both, and treated them with such violence, that they fled from the house stripped of their clothes and wounded.
17 Kap nanit alena iwa sosin nan nya Ephisus, vat a Yahudawa nin nalena a Yahudawa iwa lanza ulemone. Imini wa tinna ilaza fiu bar unit ulena ufunu unanzan wa di nan nya me awa dinin likara kan. nin kubi kurume, iwa zazin lisa Ugo Isa.
All the people of Ephesus, Jews as well as Greeks, came to know of this. There was widespread terror, and they began to hold the name of the Lord Jesus in high honour.
18 Nan nya kubi kone, among anan yinnusauyenu iwa latisze, anan yinusauyenu gbardan benle ilemong inanzan na idin suzu.
Many also of those who believed came confessing without reserve what their conduct had been,
19 Among anite na iwa di anidibere tina inutuzuno umon kata mine itinna i juju kika na koghe mayen. Dana anit munu ikurfun ilena imong zuzu nikulume ikurfun duru amui akuta atau.
and not a few of those who had practised magical arts brought their books together and burnt them in the presence of all. The total value was reckoned and found to be 50,000 silver coins.
20 Nan nya nanin, anit gbardan lanza tipipin kitenen Ugo Isa inanin wa yininsauyenu.
Thus mightily did the Lord's Message spread and triumph!
21 Unuzu kidun Bulus mala katame nan nya ifisus, Ufunu Ulau yira ghe ayinin udu Urshalima, tutun nin funu a pira kusarin Macidonia nin Achaia anan yene anan yinusauyenu. Bulus woro, “Nin kidun andin duo Urshalima, ma kuru iduo Uroma tutun”
When matters had reached this point, Paul decided in his own mind to travel through Macedonia and Greece, and go to Jerusalem. "After that," he said, "I must also see Rome."
22 Amini watu iyichila awa bã anan bungh, Timontawus nin Erastus, udu Macidonia. Tutun Bulus ninsọ nan nya ka gbir, Efisus kusarin Asia.
But he sent two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he himself remained for a while in Roman Asia.
23 Nin deadai kidun nanin, anit nan nya Efisus chizina ubunkurnu kiti kan bar Isa nin madursuzu kitene me.
Now just at that time there arose no small commotion about the new faith.
24 Kikane umong unit wa diku nin lisa Damarius. Awake kuguinki nin lisa Diana. Damarius wadin sesu ikurfun kiti nanit ka nin kani kata makeke ku guinki asa nin lewe manin.
There was a certain Demetrius, a silversmith, who made miniature silver sanctuaries of Diana, a business which brought great gain to the mechanics in his employ.
25 Darius nin yichila adonkata makeke na guinke. Anin woro nanin,”Anit, iyiru kata kanere tidin sesu ikurfun bit ka.
He called his workmen together, and others who were engaged in similar trades, and said to them, "You men well know that our prosperity depends on this business of ours;
26 Iyiru Bulus ulena asosin nan nya Efisu ana dursuzo anit gbarde na iwa seru ma guinkibit ba mana tinake. Nene ma anit gbardan unuzu kusari ni gbiri nan nya kusari bit na idu sesu nimong ilena tike ba. Bulus na bellin anite atellẹ alena ti din zazunu ah atellẹ riba nin nanin na tiwa zazu anin ba.
and you see and hear that, not in Ephesus only but throughout almost the whole province of Asia, this fellow Paul has led away a vast number of people by inducing them to believe that they are not gods at all that are made by men's hands.
27 Andi anit lazaghe imati anit malesu lesu bite yisin. Anite mayenu na idinini su idak kiti bite ba tutun nin dak kuti Diana inan su uzazunume. Anite mayenu Diana di udiah ba. Tutun vat anit kusarin Asia nin uyeh kap ma chinu uzazughe.
There is danger, therefore, not only that this our trade will become of no account, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will fall into utter disrepute, and that before long she will be actually deposed from her majestic rank--she who is now worshipped by the whole province of Asia; nay, by the whole world."
28 Vat anite kikane tinna ilaza ayi nin Bulus dana ilaza ilemong na Damarius belle. Inani wa tinin jarttiz, “Diana kutellẹ bite Efisu di gbardan”
After listening to this harangue, they became furiously angry and kept calling out, "Great is the Ephesian Diana!"
29 Anite kan nan nya kagbiri ilaza ayi nin Bulus ini tinna jarttizu. Among anit kifọ Gaius nin aAristachus, inin na bąh jnuzu Macidonia iwa di ana chin nin Bulus. Ninnanin anite kap tinna chium, nin wunu nani udu kikana anan ka gbiri asa isu avuku(theater)
The riot and uproar spread through the whole city, till at last with one accord they rushed into the Theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, two Macedonians who were fellow travellers with Paul.
30 Bulu wadinin su adue nan nya kiti navuh anan lirina nin nanite, vat nin nanin anan yinusauyenu tinna iwantinghe udu kikane.
Then Paul would have liked to go in and address the people, but the disciples would not let him do so.
31 Among ago kagbiri na iwa di adondon Bulus ilanza ilemon na idin chi. Inanin wa tu umong kitin Bulus na wa dak nan nya kiti kuti navuaba.
A few of the public officials, too, who were friendly to him, sent repeated messages entreating him not to venture into the Theatre.
32 Lipitin nanite nan nya kuti na vua ilebun jarttizu. Among wadin jarttizu ni momong dabam among tutun jarttizu dabam. Tutun among nan nya mine wa yinin umon elena iwa din jarttizumuba.
The people, meanwhile, kept shouting, some one thing and some another; for the assembly was all uproar and confusion, and the greater part had no idea why they had come together.
33 Umong kuYahudawa lisa me wadi Alezanda. Among a Yahudawa turughe udu bun nanite inin tahghe alirin. Alezanda tinna ah antina ucharame anan tah nanin ichin ujattuzu. Aaadinin su a bellin nanin a Yahudawari ba nati macharantki(troble)
Then some of the people crowded round Alexander, whom the Jews had pushed forward; and Alexander, motioning with his hand to get silence, was prepared to make a defence to the people.
34 Tutun among alena iwadi a Yahudawariba iyino Alezanda ku Yahudawari inin yinno a Yahudawa din zazunu Diana kutella ba.”
No sooner, however, did they see that he was a Jew, than there arose from them all one roar of shouting, lasting about two hours. "Great is the Ephesian Diana," they said.
35 Nin nanin umong ugo ka gbiria ta lipitnpin nanit chin ujarttizu. Anin belle nanin, “Linananin anan min, koghe yiru nan nya yiulele kutellẹ bite Diana na diu unuzu kitene!
At length the Recorder quieted them down. "Men of Ephesus," he said, "who is there of all mankind that needs to be told that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Diana and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
36 Koghe yirumu kap, na umong batin aworo ilemonghe kiden ari ba. Bar nanin na kgha ti tik nene. Naiwa su imomong inazan ba.
These facts, then, being unquestioned, it becomes you to maintain your self-control and not act recklessly.
37 Na iwa danin awa ba ane kikane ba, bar na isu imomong inazan ba. Na idua nan nya na danga bit inin yira imong unuzu kikane, tutun na ilirina imommo inanzan kitene kutellẹbit.
For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
38 Bari nanin, andi Damariu nin na nan katame dininsu i ni kogha ku kulapi su imong nanza, na su libau lichine. kika kitin wuchu kidenghe iwawngha idu, kikane anan wuchu kiden duku na ugamnati na fere nanin. Iwangha kifo koghaku idoamu kikane.
If, however, Demetrius and the mechanics who support his contention have a grievance against any one, there are Assize-days and there are Proconsuls: let the persons interested accuse one another.
39 Tutun andi idinin su tirinu imomong, iwangha itirino ago mine inan yene ilemong na imasu kitene andi izuro kitikirum.
But if you desire anything further, it will have to be settled in the regular assembly.
40 Uzuru ulene uchauba ba! Yiran ubukurnu kiti kane libau lichine bar arik dinisu ti lanza ayi igomnati ba. Adi ago tiri ni majarttizu man, men waghe ikwana nanin gigime ba.”
For in connexion with to-day's proceedings there is danger of our being charged with attempted insurrection, there having been no real reason for this riot; nor shall we be able to justify the behaviour of this disorderly mob."
41 Nanere ugo ka gbiri wa belin lipitirunu anite. Amini wa belin kogha ku a kwilin kilarime, inanin wa kwilizin nilarimine.
With these words he dismissed the assembly.
