Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,
Apollos Korin ni angta doh, Pool Ephesas hah noongrep ni tumkhoomta. Erah ni heliphante wasiit wanyi chomui ano
2 he said to them, Did ye receive [the] Holy Spirit when ye had believed? And they [said] to him, We did not even hear if [the] Holy Spirit was [come].
cheng rumta, “Kristaan eh hoontan adoh Esa Chiiala chotam etan?” Eno neng ih ngaakbaat rumta, “Esa Chiiala eje ngeh ih taan boseh tajatke.”
3 And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John.
“Ese no bah ah, tiimjaat juutem tan?” Pool ih weecheng rumta. “Neng ih ngaak baatta” Joon juutem temti.
4 And Paul said, John indeed baptised [with] the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus.
Pool ih baat rumta, “Joon juutem ah langla o mina rangdah sekthunta erah mina ah raangtaan eh, eno Joon ih Ijirel mina loong asuh baatta nga lih ni kaatte tiit ah hanpi an—erah langla, Jisu.”
5 And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.
Erah chaat rum ano Teesu Jisu mendi juutem rumta.
6 And Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
Pool ih heh lak ih taajoot rum kano neng sak ni Esa Chiiala ah ra ih taha; eno erah miloong ah jengkhaap ena ena dongjeng rum ano Rangte tiitwaan ah baat ih rumta.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Neng loong ah rooproop eh asih wanyi taan miwah ang rumta.
8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading [the things] concerning the kingdom of God.
Laajom mongdi Pool Jehudi rangsoomnok ni kah ano miloong ah damdi lacho laphaan ih roongwaan kata, eno Rangmong tiit ah baat rum ano nuune rumta.
9 But when some were hardened and disbelieved, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
Mararah tenthun ah jong ajaan likhiik ang ano tahanpi rumta, eno nokwah dungni Teesu tiit ah ethih ethih ih jeng rumta. Eno Pool ih hanpiite loong ah siit ano doksoon kata, erah ni saarookwet ih Tirannas tiitwaan roongwaan nok adi roongwaan rumta.
10 And this took place for two years, so that all that inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Emamah paangnyi tongtha rumta, erah thoidi Esia hah ni tongte, Jehudi nyia Ranglajatte loong ah ih Teesu tiitkhaap ah japchaat rumta.
11 And God wrought no ordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
Rangte ih Pool suh mabah uh lataat jat rumka paatjaajih loong ah reeraang thukta.
12 so that even napkins or aprons were brought from his body [and put] upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits went out.
Theehut theng nyusah ah khoisatte reeni maatkaat koleh nyia huikaat koleh, maasat uh ede eta eno chiithih laakhah uh doksoon eta.
13 And certain of the Jewish exorcists also, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wicked spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.
Mararah Jehudi loong ah ih chiithih laakhah dokphan suh tum khoomte loong ah ih uh erah likhiik Jisu mendi taatthaak dokphan ih rumta. Erah loong ah ih chiithih laakhah asuh liita, “Pool ih baatta Jisu tiit ah mendi phan hala.”
14 And there were certain [men], seven sons of Sceva, Jewish high priest, who were doing this.
Jehudi nok hah Romwah phokhothoon Sewa sah loong, wasinet ah ih emah taatthaak dokphan rumta.
15 But the wicked spirit answering said to them, Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but ye, who are ye?
Enoothong chiithih laakhah ah ih neng suh liita, “Ngah ih Jisu jat ih ang, Pool uh jat ih ang; enoothong sen—o ah?”
16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped upon them, and having mastered both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Chiithih laakhah pan warah doonpit ano neng loong ah nobuh rumta. Erah nok dowa, sokkhook maalook nyia nengnyuh nengkhat chiinhoom choi tiisoon rumta.
17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who inhabited Ephesus, and fear fell upon all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Ephisus ni tongte Jehudi nyia Ranglajatte loong ah ih erah japchaat rum ano; rapne ih cho rumta eno Jisu men ah rapne ih raksiit rumta.
18 And many of those that believed came confessing and declaring their deeds.
Hanpiite loong ah ih nokwah dungni neng rangdah maangdi mokre rumta loong ah dokbaat ih rumta.
19 And many of those that practised curious arts brought their books [of charms] and burnt them before all. And they reckoned up the prices of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Maantaan loong ah ih neng leedap ah piikaat rum ano nokwah dungni mattak rumta. Leedap thaang ah thaak weh rum ano, rooproop ih haajaat rookbangnga ngunkholok angta.
20 Thus with might the word of the Lord increased and prevailed.
Erah likhiik Teesu tiitkhaap ah ehanhan ih ruurangta.
21 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome also.
Erah lih adi, Mesidonia nyia Akaia ni tumkhoom ano Jerusalem ni wang suh Pool ih samthunta. Pool ih liita, “Erah hah nah wang lidoh,” “Room hah nah ngah wang jaatjaat etheng.”
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those ministering to him, Timotheus and Erastus, he remained himself awhile in Asia.
Erah thoidi heh damdi roong mootkaatte Timothi nyia Erastas ah, Mesidonia ni wangthuk nyuuta, eno Esia hah ni Pool ah rekam tongthiinta.
23 And there took place at that time no small disturbance about the way.
Erah tokdi Ephesas ni Jisu lamphan thoidi rookmui jengmui rapne ih angta.
24 For a certain [man] by name Demetrius, a silver-beater, making silver temples of Artemis, brought no small gain to the artisans;
Tongmih mi hoonte, Demetrias ngeh ih angta ah ih Artemis Rangte nok laaphaang ah hoon ano, heh damdi reeraang paknaate loong asuh ngun rapne ih bi thuk rumta.
25 whom having brought together, and those who wrought in such things, he said, Men, ye know that our well-living arises from this work,
Erah thoidi heh pheehoon mootkaat likhiik o ih hoonta erah miloong ah khoonpoon ano baat rumta. “Jaaroh loong, sen ih jat ehan seng chang ah arah dowa ih tanih tengli.
26 and ye see and hear that this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great crowd, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying that they are no gods which are made with hands.
Eno sen ih taatsok thaak an nyia sen na ih taat chaat thaak an Pool ih tiimjih hoon wan hala. Pool ih baat rumha lak ih hoonha ah mabah uh rangte tah angka, eno Ephesas nyia Esia hah re dowa miloong ah rapne ih roonphak rumha.
27 Now not only there is danger for us that our business come into discredit, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the whole of Asia and the world reveres.
Seng pheehoon mootkaat ah rakmu riike nyia cho etheng ih hoonla. Erah luulu lah angthang eh, Artemis men arang ju maat ih baat ah, erah thoidi cho etheng ih hoonla—heh rang ah Esia nyia hakong rookwet ni tanih soomha!”
28 And having heard [this], and being filled with rage, they cried out, saying, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
Erah jengkhaap ah chaat rum ano mih lomkhoon rumta loong ah rapne ih khah rum ano riiraak rumta, “Ephesas dowa Artemis ah rakla!”
29 And the [whole] city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, having seized and carried off with [them] Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.
Erah chikrok tiit ah samnuthung noongrep ni ruurangta. Mesidoniate wanyi Gaius nyia Aristarkos, Pool damdi roong tum khoomte anyi, miloong ah ih seehoon boongkaat nok adi hoom kaat rumta.
30 But Paul intending to go in to the people, the disciples suffered him not;
Pool heh teeteewah midung ni kaat suh taat liita, eno hanpiite loong ah ih takaat thuk rumta.
31 and some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre.
Erah hah dowa, marah marah ngoong awang Pool joonte loong ah ih uh, seehoon boongkaat nok adoh nak toom tupkhoom kawe ah ngeh ih jengkhaap maatbaat rumta.
32 Different persons therefore cried out some different thing; for the assembly was tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come together.
Erah pootdi ngoongthumte loong ah rapne ih phaangdat rumta; miloong ah jihoh jihoh riiraak rumta, mamah liidi neng dung ni mih ehanko ah ih tiim thoidi lomkhoon wang rumta erah tajat rumta.
33 But from among the crowd they put forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand, would have made a defence to the people.
Jehudi mihak phokhoh loong ah ih Alekjendar ah tiim jeng theng ang abah uh an jeng theng li rum ano ngakhoh ko tut haatkaat rumta. Eno Alejander ih nak hoopti an ngeh ih heh lak ah tangjap ano neng teewah pangjeng jeng suh taat chungta.
34 But, recognising that he was a Jew, there was one cry from all, shouting for about two hours, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
Eno neng ih Jehudi ngeh ih jatrum ano phoosiitsiit tiit ah koonta nyi riiraak rumta: Ephesas dowa Artemis ah rakla!”
35 And the townclerk, having quieted the crowd, said, Ephesians, what man is there then who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of Artemis the great, and of the [image] which fell down from heaven?
Lithoon ni samnuh dowa apit ni mootte warah ih miloong ah kok manghoop rumta. “Ephisas phoh ano loong!” “Warep ih jat eha Ephesas samnuthung ah Artimis rangsoomnok nyia esa jong thiinte, eno erah jong ah rang nawa dat taha ngeh ah.
36 These things therefore being undeniable, it is necessary that ye should be calm and do nothing headlong.
O ih uh tajen daanka. Erah raangtaan eh, sen lahoopti theng, lalangka ah lareeraang theng.
37 For ye have brought these men, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your goddess.
Arah mih anyi ih seng rangsoomnok uh tathet haatka adoleh rangte tiit uh labaat nyuuka di siitkaat halan.
38 If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who [are] with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
Demetrius nyia heh mootkaatte loong ah ih o tiit hoontheng ang abah uh, sen tiit hoonkotte elong elang eje adoleh tiit hoon theng nok uh saarookwet raangtaan ih eje; tiit ah erah doh hoon theng.
39 But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Adoleh, tiit ajeng ah erah nang ih elong ih hoon theng li an baleh, nok atang loongtang ngathong nah tiit ah hoon theng.
40 For also we are in danger to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.
Chiinnyah tiit ajeng arah dongla lidoh, cho etheng eje mat ah o ih chaang theng ah. Arah mat dong hoomte ah biin anaan tahoonru; seng ih uh tiim thoilam di ang koja erah tami baatke.”
41 And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
Erah jengkhaap jeng lidi, ngoongthumte loong ah saapsoon ih thuk rumta.
