Acts 19
1 And it came to pass while Apollos was at Corinth, for Paul, having passed through the upper regions, to come to Ephesus. And having found some disciples,
Kane Apolo ni Korintho, Paulo nowuotho e gwenge mamalo, nyaka nochopo Efeso. Kuno noyude jopuonjre moko,
2 he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, But we have not even heard if there is a Holy Spirit.
mi openjogi niya, “Bende ne uyudo Roho Maler chiengʼ mane uyie kuom Yesu?” Negidwoke niya, “Ooyo, kata mana winjo pok wawinjo ni nitie gimoro ni Roho Maler.”
3 And he said to them, Into what then were ye immersed? And they said, Into John's immersion.
Paulo nomedo penjogi niya, “Ka kamano, to kare batiso mane mane uyudo?” Negidwoke niya, “Ne wayudo batiso mar Johana.”
4 And Paul said, John indeed immersed an immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus, the Christ.
Paulo nowachonegi niya, “Batiso mar Johana ne en mar lokruok weyo richo. Nonyiso ji mondo oyie kuom Jal mane biro bangʼe, ma en Yesu.”
5 And when they heard this, they were immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Bangʼ winjo mano, nobatisgi e nying Ruoth Yesu.
6 And Paul having laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues, and prophesied.
Kane Paulo oketo lwete kuomgi, Roho Maler nolor kuomgi, mine giwuoyo gi dhok mayoreyore kendo ne gikoro wach.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Kar romb jogo ne gin chwo apar gariyo.
8 And after entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading the things about the kingdom of God.
Paulo nodonjo e sinagogi mi opuonjo ji gi chir kuom dweche adek. Notemo wuoyo kodgi konyisogi adiera man kuom pinyruodh Nyasaye.
9 But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, having withdrawn from them, he separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of a certain Tyrannus.
To jomoko kuomgi chunygi nodoko matek, ne gidagi yie kendo negichako wuoyo marach kuom jo-Kristo e lela. Omiyo Paulo noweyogi, mi okawo jopuonjre odhigo e od puonjruok mar ngʼat ma nyinge Turano, kuma ne gitwakie pile.
10 And this happened for two years, so as for all those dwelling in Asia to hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Paulo notimo mano kuom higni ariyo, mi jo-Yahudi duto gi jo-Yunani manodak e piny Asia nowinjo wach Ruoth.
11 And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
Nyasaye nomiyo Paulo otimo honni madongo,
12 so as to even bring handkerchiefs or aprons from his skin to those who were incapacitated and to free their infirmities from them, and the evil spirits to go out from them.
kata mana kitembini kod lewni mane orere kuome noter ni jotuo, mine gichango kuom tuochegi kendo jochiende noa kuomgi.
13 But some of the wandering Jewish exorcists, attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims.
To jo-Yahudi moko mane wuotho koni gi koni kagolo jochiende notemo tiyo gi nying Ruoth Yesu mondo giriemb jochiende kuom ji. Ne gitemo wacho niya, “E nying Yesu ma Paulo yalo, wachiki mondo iwuog oko!”
14 And there were some sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, seven doing this.
To jadolo maduongʼ moro mar jo-Yahudi miluongo ni Sekewa ne nigi yawuowi abiriyo mane timo kamano.
15 And having answered, the evil spirit said, I know Jesus and I recognize Paul, but who are ye?
To chiengʼ moro achiel jachien nodwokogi niya, “Yesu to angʼeyo, kendo Paulo bende angʼeyo, to un, to un ngʼa gini?”
16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, and having overpowered them, he prevailed against them, so as for them to flee out of that house naked and wounded.
Eka ngʼat mane nigi jachien-no nopor kuomgi mohewogi duto. Nogoyogi marach mi giringo gia e odno ka gin duge kendo dendgi chwer remo.
17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, to those who dwell at Ephesus. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Ka jo-Yahudi gi jo-Yunani mane odak Efeso nowinjo wachno luoro nomakogi, kendo nying Ruoth Yesu noyudo duongʼ.
18 And many of those who have believed came, confessing, and reporting their practices.
Ji mangʼeny mane oyie kuom Yesu nobiro mohulo richogi e lela.
19 And a considerable number of those who practiced magical things, having brought their books together, burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Jomoko kuomgi manosebedo katimo timbe jwok nokelo kitepegi mag thieth mi nowangʼ-gi e lela ka ji duto neno. Kane gikwano nengo kitepego duto mane giwangʼo, neginwangʼo ka nengogi oromo silingʼ alufu piero abich.
20 Thus the word of the Lord was growing mightily and was prevailing.
Kuom mano, Wach Ruoth nomedo landore kendo ne medo bedo gi teko.
21 Now when these things were fulfilled, Paul decided in the spirit, after passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, having said, After becoming there, I must also see Rome.
Kane gigo duto osetimore, Paulo nongʼado e chunye mondo odhi Jerusalem, kokadho Makedonia gi Akaya. Nowacho e chunye niya, “Bangʼ dhi Jerusalem, to nyaka alim Rumi bende.”
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those who help him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
Nooro jokonyne moko ariyo, ma gin Timotheo gi Erasto, nyaka Makedonia, ka en to ne pod odongʼ e piny Asia kuom ndalo moko.
23 And about that time there developed no small stir about the Way.
E kindeno koko maduongʼ nowuok kuom wach luwo Yor Kristo.
24 For a certain silversmith named Demetrius who makes silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little work to the craftsmen,
Ngʼat moro ma nyinge Demetrio, mane jathedh fedha, ne loso kido mag hekalu mar nyasaye madhako miluongo ni Artemis, kendo tichneno ne kelo ohala maduongʼ ni jotheth wetene.
25 to whom also (having assembled the workmen about such things) he said, Men, ye know that our prosperity is from this work.
Demetrio noluongo jotheth wetene duto, kod jotich mamoko ma tijgi ne chal gi margi, mi owachonegi niya, “Yawa, ungʼeyo ni tijwani kelonwa ohala maduongʼ.
26 And ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this man Paul, having persuaded them, turned away a considerable multitude, saying that there are no gods made by hands.
To koro uneno kendo uwinjo kaka ngʼat miluongo ni Pauloni oseloko ji mathoth Efeso-ka, nyaka e piny Asia duto. Owacho ni nyiseche ma dhano oloso ok gin nyiseche mar adier.
27 And not only is this our part liable to come into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis is going to be regarded for nothing, and also her magnificence be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.
Koro wan gi chandruok, ok mana nikech ji biro chayo tijwani mi ohandwani podhi, to bende nikech hekalu mar nyasaye madhako marahuma, ma en Artemis owuon, ibiro chayo, mi Artemis owuon, ma ji lamo e piny Asia, nyaka e piny duto, ok bi ngʼe duongʼne kaka nyasaye!”
28 And when they heard this, having become full of wrath, they cried out, saying, The great Artemis of Ephesians.
Kane giwinjo wachno, mirima nomakogi mi gichako goyo koko kagiwacho niya, “Artemis mar jo-Efeso duongʼ!”
29 And the whole city was filled with the confusion. And they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, traveling companions of Paul.
Koko nolandore e dala duto kendo negimako Gayo gi Aristarko ma jo-Makedonia mane jowuodh Paulo kendo ne gimwomore kuomgi ka gichiko pawgi mar tugo.
30 And when Paul wanted to enter in to the crowd, the disciples did not let him.
Paulo ne dwaro dhi e diergi mondo owuo kodgi, to jopuonjre notame.
31 And also some of the Asian officers, being their friends, having sent to him, implored him not to give himself into the theatre.
Kata moko kuom jotend pinyno mane osiepene, noorone wach kakwaye mondo kik odonj e paw tugono.
32 Indeed therefore some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was confused, and most had not seen why they had come together.
Chokruok nonjawni. Ji moko ne wacho gimoro achiel, to jomoko ne wacho gimachielo. Ji mangʼeny ne ok ongʼeyo kata gima omiyo ne gin kanyo.
33 And they urged forward Alexander out of the multitude, having put him forward from the Jews. And Alexander having waved his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd.
Jomoko kuomgi ne paro ni Aleksanda ema oluongo burani nikech negineno ka jo-Yahudi chwale nyime mondo owuo gi ji. Aleksanda notingʼo bade mondo owuo gi ji.
34 But after recognizing that he was a Jew, one voice developed from them all, crying out for about two hours, The great Artemis of Ephesians.
To ka ogandano nofwenyo nine en ja-Yahudi, ne gikok gi dwol achiel kuom seche ariyo kagiwacho niya, “Artemis mar jo-Efeso duongʼ!”
35 And when the town clerk calmed the multitude, he says, Ephesian men, now who is the man who does not know the city of the Ephesians being temple-guardian of the great goddess Artemis, and of what fell from Zeus?
Bangʼe jagoro morito dalano nopieyo ji kawacho niya, “Un jo-Efeso, donge piny ngima ongʼeyo ni dala mar Efeso ema orito hekalu mar nyasaye marahuma miluongo ni Artemis, kaachiel gi kidone manolwar koa e polo?
36 Therefore these things being undeniable, ye ought to be restrained, and do nothing rash.
Kuom mano, kaka wechegi gin adier chuth ma ngʼato ok nyal dagi, weuru goyo koko kendo kik utim tim moro ka ok uparo.
37 For ye brought these men, who are neither sacrilegious nor blaspheming your goddess.
Usekelo jogi ka, kata obedo ni ok gisekwalo gimoro e hekalu, kata yanyo nyasachwa madhakoni.
38 Indeed therefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen with him, have a matter against any man, forums are brought, and there are proconsuls. Let them accuse each other.
Ka dipo ni Demetrio gi jotheth wetene nigi wach gi ngʼato kuomgi, to ute yalo bura oyaw dhogi, kendo joyal bura bende nitie. Kuno ema ginyalo dhi donjo ni joma okethonigi.
39 And if ye seek anything about other things, it will be decided in the assembly within law.
To ka dipo ni nitie wach moro machielo ma udwaro nolosi, to nyaka lose mana e chokruok ma chik oyiego.
40 For we are also in danger to be accused about the uproar today, there being no cause about which we can give account of this commotion.
To kaka weche chal sani, gik mutimogi biro ketowa e chandruok, nikech ibiro ngʼadnwa bura kaka joma kelo koko. Kuom mano, onge yo moro amora ma wanyalo tonygo e wachni, nikech wasegoyo koko maonge tiende.”
41 And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
Bangʼ kane osewacho wechegi, nogonyo chokruok.
