Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
Kane Apolo ni Korintho, Paulo nowuotho e gwenge mamalo, nyaka nochopo Efeso. Kuno noyude jopuonjre moko,
2 He said unto them, Have all of you received the Holy Spirit (pneuma) since all of you believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
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 unto them, Unto what then were all of you baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
Paulo nomedo penjogi niya, “Ka kamano, to kare batiso mane mane uyudo?” Negidwoke niya, “Ne wayudo batiso mar Johana.”
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
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 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Bangʼ winjo mano, nobatisgi e nying Ruoth Yesu.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit (pneuma) came on them; and they spoke with 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 he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning 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 divers were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one 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 continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word (logos) 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 wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
Nyasaye nomiyo Paulo otimo honni madongo,
12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits (pneuma) went out of them.
kata mana kitembini kod lewni mane orere kuome noter ni jotuo, mine gichango kuom tuochegi kendo jochiende noa kuomgi.
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits (pneuma) the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.
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 seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
To jadolo maduongʼ moro mar jo-Yahudi miluongo ni Sekewa ne nigi yawuowi abiriyo mane timo kamano.
15 And the evil spirit (pneuma) answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are all of you?
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 the evil spirit (pneuma) was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled 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 was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on 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 that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
Ji mangʼeny mane oyie kuom Yesu nobiro mohulo richogi e lela.
19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: 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 So mightily grew the word (logos) of God and prevailed.
Kuom mano, Wach Ruoth nomedo landore kendo ne medo bedo gi teko.
21 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, (pneuma) when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been 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 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
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 the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
E kindeno koko maduongʼ nowuok kuom wach luwo Yor Kristo.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto 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 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, all of you know that by this craft we have our wealth.
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 Moreover all of you see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with 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 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nothing; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.
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 these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the 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 confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
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 would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
Paulo ne dwaro dhi e diergi mondo owuo kodgi, to jopuonjre notame.
31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
Kata moko kuom jotend pinyno mane osiepene, noorone wach kakwaye mondo kik odonj e paw tugono.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were 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 drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.
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 when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the 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 public clerk had appeased the people, he said, All of you men of Ephesus, what man is there that knows not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
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 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, all of you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
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 all of you have brought here these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
Usekelo jogi ka, kata obedo ni ok gisekwalo gimoro e hekalu, kata yanyo nyasachwa madhakoni.
38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter (logos) against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them sue one another.
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 But if all of you enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
To ka dipo ni nitie wach moro machielo ma udwaro nolosi, to nyaka lose mana e chokruok ma chik oyiego.
40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account (logos) of this concourse.
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 when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Bangʼ kane osewacho wechegi, nogonyo chokruok.
