Acts 19
1 And it came to passe, while Apollos was at Corinthus, that Paul when he passed thorow the vpper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certaine disciples,
Ikajha kujha Apolo bho ajhe Korintho, Paulo apetili nyanda sya panani ni kufika mu mji bhwa Efeso, na akolili bhanafunzi kadhaa okhu.
2 And saide vnto them, Haue ye receiued the holy Ghost since ye beleeued? And they saide vnto him, Wee haue not so much as heard whether there be an holy Ghost.
Paulo akabhajobhela, “Je mwapokili Roho mtakatifu bho mukyeriri?” Bhakan'jobhela, “Lepi, twabhwesilepi hata kup'eleka kuhusu Roho mtakatifu.”
3 And he said vnto them, Vnto what were ye then baptized? And they saide, Vnto Iohns baptisme.
Paulo akajobha, “henu muenga mwabatisibhu bhuli? Bhakajobha, Mu bhubatisu bhwa Yohana.
4 Then saide Paul, Iohn verely baptized with the baptisme of repentance, saying vnto the people, that they shoulde beleeue in him, which should come after him, that is, in Christ Iesus.
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 it, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Iesus.
Bhanu bho bhap'eliki habari ejhe, bhakabatisibhwa kwa lihina lya Bwana Yesu.
6 So Paul layde his handes vpon them, and the holy Ghost came on them, and they spake the tongues, and prophecied.
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 twelue.
Jumla jha bhene bhajhele bhaghosi jhapata kumi ni bhabhele.
8 Moreouer he went into the Synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three moneths, disputing and exhorting to the things that appertaine to the kingdome 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 certaine were hardened, and disobeyed, speaking euill of the way of God before the multitude, hee departed from them, and separated the disciples, and disputed dayly in the schoole of one 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 was done by the space of two yeeres, so that all they which dwelt in Asia, heard the word of ye Lord Iesus, both Iewes and Grecians.
Ejhe jhayendelili kwa miaka mibhele, kwa hiyo bhoha bhakajha bhiishi ku Asia bhap'eliki lilobhi lya Bwana, bhoha Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani.
11 And God wrought no small miracles by the handes of Paul,
K'yara akajha ibhomba mambo mabaha kumabhoko gha Paulo,
12 So that from his body were brought vnto the sicke, kerchefs or handkerchefs, and the diseases departed from them, and the euill spirits went out of them.
Kwamba hata bhatamu bhaponyisibhu, ni roho bhabhibhi bhahomili wkati bho bhatolili leso ni ngobho sya sihomili mu mbele bhwa Paulo.
13 Then certaine of the vagabond Iewes, exorcistes, tooke in hand to name ouer them which had euil spirits, the Name of the Lord Iesus, saying, We adiure you by Iesus, whom Paul preacheth.
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 certaine sonnes of Sceua a Iewe, the Priest, about seuen which did this)
Bhabhakabhobi agha bhajhele bhana saba bha kuhani mbaha bhwa Kiyahudi, Sekewa.
15 And the euil spirit answered, and said, Iesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know: but who are ye?
Roho bhachafu bhakabhajibu, “Yesu ni mmanyili, ni Paulo ni mmanyili, lakini muene bha niani?”
16 And the man in whome the euil spirit was, ranne on them, and ouercame them, and preuailed against them, so that they fledde 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 was knowen to all the Iewes and Grecians also, which dwelt at Ephesus, and feare came on them all, and the Name of the Lord Iesus 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 that beleeued, came and confessed, and shewed their workes.
Kabhele, bhingi bha bhaumini bhahidili ni kuungama na bhadhihirishi matendo mabhibhi bhaghabhombili.
19 Many also of them which vsed curious artes, brought their bookes, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fiftie thousand pieces of siluer.
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 So the worde of God grewe mightily, and preuailed.
Efyo lilobhi lya Bwana lyajhenili kwa upana sana kwa ngofu.
21 Nowe when these things were accomplished, Paul purposed by the Spirite to passe through Macedonia and Achaia, and to goe to Hierusalem, saying, After I haue bene 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 So sent hee into Macedonia two of them that ministred vnto him, Timotheus and Erastus, but he remained in Asia for a season.
Paulo akabhalaghisya Makedonia bhanafunzi bha muene bhabhele, Timotheo ni Erasto, ambabho bhajhele bhan'saidili. Lakini muene asiele Asia kwa muda.
23 And the same time there arose no small trouble about that way.
Wakati obhu kwatokili ghasia mbaha okhu Efeso kuhusu njela jhela.
24 For a certaine man named Demetrius a siluersmith, which made siluer temples of Diana, brought great gaines vnto the craftesmen,
Sonara mmonga lihina lya muene Demetrio, ambajhe atengenisi fisanamu fya hela fya K'yara Diana, aletili biashara mbaha kwa mafundi.
25 Whom he called together, with the workemen of like things, and saide, Syrs, ye knowe that by this craft we haue our goods:
Efyo akabhabhonganiya mafundi bha mbombo ejhu ni kujobha, “Bhaheshimibhwa, mmanyili kujha mu biashara ejhe tete twijhingisya hela simehele.
26 Moreouer ye see and heare, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia this Paul hath perswaded, and turned away much people, saying, That they be not gods which are made with handes.
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 So that not onely this thing is dangerous vnto vs, that this our portion shall be reproued, but also that the temple of the great goddesse Diana should be nothing esteemed, and that it would come to passe that her magnificence, which all Asia and the world worshippeth, should be destroyed.
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 Now when they heard it, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Bho bhapeliki agha, bhamemibhu ni ligoga ni kujhuegha, bhakajobha, “Diana ghwa bhaefeso ndo mbaha.”
29 And the whole citie was full of confusion, and they rushed into the common place with one assent, and caught Gaius, and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, and Pauls companions of his iourney.
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 would haue entred in vnto the people, the disciples suffred him not.
Paulo alondeghe kujhingila mu umati bhwa bhanu, lakini bhanafunzi bhakambesya.
31 Certaine also of the chiefe of Asia which were his friendes, sent vnto him, desiring him that hee woulde not present him selfe in the Common place.
Kabhele, baadhi jha maafisa bha mkoa ghwa Asia ambabho bhajhele marafiki bha muene bhakandetela ujumbe kwa nghofo kunsoka asijhingili mu ukumbi bhwa michezo.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assemblie was out of order, and the more part knewe not wherefore they were 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 some of the company drew foorth Alexander, the Iewes thrusting him forwards. Alexander then beckened with the hande, and woulde haue excused the matter to the people.
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 when they knew that he was a Iewe, there arose a shoute almost for the space of two houres, of all men crying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Lakini bho bhamanyili kujha muene Myahudi, bhoha bhajhwegili kwa sauti jhimonga kwa muda ghwa masaa mabhele, “Diana ndo mbaha ghwa Bhaefeso.”
35 Then the towne clearke when hee had stayed the people, saide, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is it that knoweth not howe that the citie of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddesse Diana, and of the image, which came downe from Iupiter?
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 Seeing then that no man can speake against these things, ye ought to be appeased, and to doe nothing rashly.
Kulola kujha mambo agha ghibhwesekakalepi, twilondeka kujha ni utulivu na msibhombi kyokyoha kwa haraka.
37 For yee haue brought hither these men, which haue neither committed sacrilege, neither doe blaspheme your goddesse.
Kwandabha mubhakutili bhanu abha pa mahakama ambabho bhah'ejilepi bha hekalu wala sio bha kun'kufuru K'yara watete n'dala.
38 Wherefore, if Demetrius and the craftes men which are with him, haue a matter against any man, the lawe is open, and there are Deputies: let them accuse one another.
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 But if ye inquire any thing cocerning other matters, it may be determined in a lawful assembly.
Lakini kama bhebhe wilonda kyokyoha kuhusu mambo ghangi, ghibeta kushughulikibhwamu kikao halali.
40 For we are euen in ieopardie to be accused of this dayes sedition, for as much as there is no cause, whereby we may giue a reason of this concourse of people.
Kwa kweli tujhele mu hatari jha kutuhumibhwa kuhusu ghasia ligono ele. Ijhelepi sababu jha machafuko agha na kubetakujha ni uwezo bhwa kughajhelesya.
41 And when he had thus spoken, hee let the assembly depart.
Baada jha kujobha agha, abhatawenye makutano.
