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,
Ikajha kujha Apolo bho ajhe Korintho, Paulo apetili nyanda sya panani ni kufika mu mji bhwa Efeso, na akolili bhanafunzi kadhaa okhu.
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.
Paulo akabhajobhela, “Je mwapokili Roho mtakatifu bho mukyeriri?” Bhakan'jobhela, “Lepi, twabhwesilepi hata kup'eleka kuhusu Roho mtakatifu.”
3 And he said to them, Into what then were ye immersed? And they said, Into John's immersion.
Paulo akajobha, “henu muenga mwabatisibhu bhuli? Bhakajobha, Mu bhubatisu bhwa Yohana.
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.
Basi paulo akajibu, “Yohana abatisi kwa bhubatisu bhwa toba. Akabhajobhela bhanu bhala kujha bhilondeka kunkiera jhola ambajhe ngaahidili baada jha muene, yaani, Yesu.”
5 And when they heard this, they were immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Bhanu bho bhap'eliki habari ejhe, bhakabatisibhwa kwa lihina lya Bwana Yesu.
6 And Paul having laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues, and prophesied.
Na jhikajhe Paulo bho abhekili mabhoko panani pa bhene, Roho mtakatifu akahida juu jha bhene ni kujhanda kunene kwa lugha ni kutabiri.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Jumla jha bhene bhajhele bhaghosi jhapata kumi ni bhabhele.
8 And after entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading the things about the kingdom of God.
Paulo akalota kusinagogi akanena kwa bhujasiri kwa muda bhwa miesi midatu. Akajha ilongosya majadiliano ni kubhafuta bhanu kuhusu mambo ghaghihusu ufalme bhwa K'yara.
9 But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, having withdrawn from them, he separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of a certain Tyrannus.
Lakini Bhayahudi bhangi bhajhele bhakaidi na bhabhi belakutii, bhakajhanda kujobha mabhibhi kuhusu njela jha Kristu mbele jha bhumati. Basi Paulo akalekana nabhu ni kubhatenga bhabhikiera patali nabhu. Nu muene akajhanda kulongela kila ligono mu ukumbi bhwa Tirano.
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.
Ejhe jhayendelili kwa miaka mibhele, kwa hiyo bhoha bhakajha bhiishi ku Asia bhap'eliki lilobhi lya Bwana, bhoha Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani.
11 And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
K'yara akajha ibhomba mambo mabaha kumabhoko gha Paulo,
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.
Kwamba hata bhatamu bhaponyisibhu, ni roho bhabhibhi bhahomili wkati bho bhatolili leso ni ngobho sya sihomili mu mbele bhwa Paulo.
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.
Lakini bhayele Bhayahudi bhapunga pepo bhakajha bhisafiri kupetela lieneo elu, bhakajha bhalalitumila lihina lya Ysu kwandabha jha matumizi gha bhene. Bhakajobhele bhala bhabhajheni pepo bhachafu: Bhakajobha, “Nikabhaarumuru mubhokayi kwa lihina lya Yesu ambaye Paulo akamhubiri.”
14 And there were some sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, seven doing this.
Bhabhakabhobi agha bhajhele bhana saba bha kuhani mbaha bhwa Kiyahudi, Sekewa.
15 And having answered, the evil spirit said, I know Jesus and I recognize Paul, but who are ye?
Roho bhachafu bhakabhajibu, “Yesu ni mmanyili, ni Paulo ni mmanyili, lakini muene bha niani?”
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.
Roho nchafu jhola mugati mwa munu akabhanukila bhapunga pepo ni kubhatola nghofu ni kubhatosha. Ndipo bhakajumba kuhoma mu nyumba jhela bhakajha ngoli ni kujeruhibhwa.
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.
Lijambo ele lyamanyikene kwa bhoha, Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani, ambabho bhatamili okhu Efeso. Bhakajha ni hofu sana ni lihina lya Bwana lyazidili kuheshimibhwa.
18 And many of those who have believed came, confessing, and reporting their practices.
Kabhele, bhingi bha bhaumini bhahidili ni kuungama na bhadhihirishi matendo mabhibhi bhaghabhombili.
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.
Bhingi bhabhombeghe uganga bhabhongeniye fitabu fya bhene, bhekafinyanya mbele jha kila munu. Bwakati bhene bhibhalanga thamani jha fenu efu, jhajhele fipandi hamsini elfu fya hela.
20 Thus the word of the Lord was growing mightily and was prevailing.
Efyo lilobhi lya Bwana lyajhenili kwa upana sana kwa ngofu.
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.
Jha Paulo kukamilisya huduma jha muene khola Efeso, Roho akandongosya kulota Yerusalemu kupetela Makedonia ni Akaya; Akajobha, “Baada jha kujha okhu, jhilondeka kulota Rumi kabhele.”
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those who help him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
Paulo akabhalaghisya Makedonia bhanafunzi bha muene bhabhele, Timotheo ni Erasto, ambabho bhajhele bhan'saidili. Lakini muene asiele Asia kwa muda.
23 And about that time there developed no small stir about the Way.
Wakati obhu kwatokili ghasia mbaha okhu Efeso kuhusu njela jhela.
24 For a certain silversmith named Demetrius who makes silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little work to the craftsmen,
Sonara mmonga lihina lya muene Demetrio, ambajhe atengenisi fisanamu fya hela fya K'yara Diana, aletili biashara mbaha kwa mafundi.
25 to whom also (having assembled the workmen about such things) he said, Men, ye know that our prosperity is from this work.
Efyo akabhabhonganiya mafundi bha mbombo ejhu ni kujobha, “Bhaheshimibhwa, mmanyili kujha mu biashara ejhe tete twijhingisya hela simehele.
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.
Mwilola ni kupeleka kujha, si apa tu Efeso, bali karibia Asia jhioha, Paulo ojho abhashawishi ni kubhageusya bhanu bhingi. Ijobha kujha ijhelepi miungu ambayo jhibhombiki kwa mabhoko.
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.
Na sio tu jhijhele hatari kujha biashara jha tete jhibetakujha jhilondeka lepi, lakini kabhele ni hekalu lya K'yara n'dala jha ajhe mbaha Diana ibhwesya kutolibhwa kujha ajhelepi ni maana. Kabhele ngaabhwesili hata kujhasya ubhaha bhwa muene, muene ambajhe Asia ni dunia bhakamwabudu.”
28 And when they heard this, having become full of wrath, they cried out, saying, The great Artemis of Ephesians.
Bho bhapeliki agha, bhamemibhu ni ligoga ni kujhuegha, bhakajobha, “Diana ghwa bhaefeso ndo mbaha.”
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.
Mji bhuoha bhwameli ligoga, ni bhanu bhakajumba pamonga mugati mu ukumbi bhwa michezo. Bhakabhakamila bhasafiri bhajhinu ni Paulo, Gayo ni Aristariko, bhabhahomili Makedonia.
30 And when Paul wanted to enter in to the crowd, the disciples did not let him.
Paulo alondeghe kujhingila mu umati bhwa bhanu, lakini bhanafunzi bhakambesya.
31 And also some of the Asian officers, being their friends, having sent to him, implored him not to give himself into the theatre.
Kabhele, baadhi jha maafisa bha mkoa ghwa Asia ambabho bhajhele marafiki bha muene bhakandetela ujumbe kwa nghofo kunsoka asijhingili mu ukumbi bhwa michezo.
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.
Baadhi jha bhanu bhakajha bhijobha khenu ekhe ni bhangi lijambo lela, kwa ndabha umati bhwa bhanu bhwachanganyikibhu bhingi bhabhwesilepi hata kumanya kwandayakiki bhahidi pamonga.
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.
Bhayahudi bhakandeta Iskanda kwibhala jha umati bhwa bhanu ni kumbeka panani mbele jha bhanu. Iskanda akapisya ishara kwa kibhoko kya muene kupisya majhelesu kwa bhanu.
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.
Lakini bho bhamanyili kujha muene Myahudi, bhoha bhajhwegili kwa sauti jhimonga kwa muda ghwa masaa mabhele, “Diana ndo mbaha ghwa Bhaefeso.”
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?
Baada jha karani ghwa mji kubhugudamisya umati, ajobhili, 'Muenga bhagosi bha Efeso, niani jha amanyilepi mji obho bhwa Efeso ndo ntunzaji ghwa hekalu lya Diana mbaha ni picha jhela jhajhaguili kuhomela kumbinguni?
36 Therefore these things being undeniable, ye ought to be restrained, and do nothing rash.
Kulola kujha mambo agha ghibhwesekakalepi, twilondeka kujha ni utulivu na msibhombi kyokyoha kwa haraka.
37 For ye brought these men, who are neither sacrilegious nor blaspheming your goddess.
Kwandabha mubhakutili bhanu abha pa mahakama ambabho bhah'ejilepi bha hekalu wala sio bha kun'kufuru K'yara watete n'dala.
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.
Henu, kama Demetrio ni mafundi bhabhajhe pamonga nabhu bhajhe ni mashtaka dhidi jha munu jhejhioha, mahakama sijhewazi ni maliwali bhajhele. Na bhaletibhwayi mbele jha shauri.
39 And if ye seek anything about other things, it will be decided in the assembly within law.
Lakini kama bhebhe wilonda kyokyoha kuhusu mambo ghangi, ghibeta kushughulikibhwamu kikao halali.
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.
Kwa kweli tujhele mu hatari jha kutuhumibhwa kuhusu ghasia ligono ele. Ijhelepi sababu jha machafuko agha na kubetakujha ni uwezo bhwa kughajhelesya.
41 And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
Baada jha kujobha agha, abhatawenye makutano.
