Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper regions came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
Kubatendahali buti kuti Apolosi nena kwa Korinte, paulusi abahiti kwiulu lyekanda mi abezi kwa Efese, mi nicheza kuwana barutwana bamwi kwateni.
2 He said to them, Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? And they said to him, We have not so much as heard whether there is any Holy Spirit.
Paulusi nichati kubali, “Mubatambuli luhuho lujolola na hamubazumini?” Chibamucho kuti, “Nee, kakwina mane ni chitubazuwi kuamana ni Luhuho Lujolola.”
3 And he said to them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John’s baptism.
Paulusi abati, “Linu mubakolobezwa muchinzi?” Ni chibati, “Munkolobezo ya Joani,
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
Linu Paulusi netaba, “Joani abakolobezi chenkolobezo yenswalelo. Abawambili bantu kuti bayelele kuzumina kumuntu yokeza mwisule lyakwe, kokuta kuti, nji kwa Jesu.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Bantu habazuwa bulyo, nibakolobezwa mwizina lya Simwine Jesu.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Imi linu Paulusi habatula mayanza hewulu, Luhuho Lujolola nichilwabenjila mi nibawamba mundimi zisiyenesiyene mi nibatanikiza zikezite.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Kuhindilila bonse ibali bakwame babali kulikana ikumi ni bobele.
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.
Paulusi nenjila mwisinagoge mi nawamba chabundume munako ikwanisa myezi yotatwe. Abaetelele ziambantu ni ku kutolokla bantu kuti bazuwisise kuamana nimubuso we Ireeza.
9 But when some 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.
Nihaike majuda kana babakuzuwisisa nikusatwaliza cibatanga ku wambi zivi ni kulyefula Kreste. Paulusi cabasiya nikuzwila habusu nibabazumini. Catanga kuwamba izuba nizuba munzubo yakulutila ya Tyrannus.
10 And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Abazwili habusu kuwamba zilimo zobele kuti mane nibantu bekala mwa Asia, Judea ni mwa Greek bazuwe linzwi lye Ireeza.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
Ireeza aba kupanga zimpangaliko zijolola ca mayanza a Paulusi,
12 So that from his body were brought to the sick, handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
mane ni balwala babali kuhola, Niluhuho lubilala luba kuzwa kubali, Habahinda kataulo ni ka apron hamubili wa Paulusi.
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
Kubena Majuda baba likwina mulieto lya kuyabuyenda muzilalo kulola babahindi izina lya Jesu kulisebelisa mubasakila abobene, Baba kukabuiwamba kubantu bana bena luhuho lubilala feela; Cibawamba, “Nimilaela cha Jesu yabali kuwambiwa kwa Paulusi kuti muyende.”
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, who did so.
Baba tendi izo babali bakwame batenda iyanza ni bobele bana ba mupurita mukulwana wa majuda, wezina lya Sceva.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
Luhuho lubilala lubabetabi, “Nizi Jesu, ni Paulusi; cwale iwe njewe ni?”
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Luhuho lubilala lubena kumuntu cilwa mukoma kumubulisa ziho cawila hanzi ni kubakaba. Cibazwa munzubo nibasazabele hamubili ni kuholofala.
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.
Iyo indaba ciyezibahala kubantu bonse, nibahala mwa Judea, mwa Greek, nimwa Efese. Imi baba tiyi ahulu, mane nizina lya Simwine Jesu ciba tanga kulikuteka.
18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
Imi hape, bantu bonse babazumini kubakela zive nikuzumina kuzintu zibi zibaba pangi.
19 Many also of them who practised magic 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.
Bonse babali kupangite za mabibo cibaleta invuka zabo imi cizahisiwa mumenso abantu bonse. Haba zibala zonse, inteko yateni ibabi makumi amayanza azikiti zaziemba emba ze silivela.
20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
Njikuti linzwi lye Ireeza liba ambalakani munzila ikolete.
21 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
Paulusi hamana musebezi wakwe mwa Efese, cahupula caluhuho lujolola kuti ahite ya Macedonia ni mwa Achaia munzila yakwe yakuya mwa Jelusalema; Cawamba, “Acinazwa munu, niswanela kukabona kwa Roma.”
22 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
Paulusi catuma batumiwa bakwe bobele baba mutusi, Timothy ni Erastus kwa Macedonia. Kono iye abali kusikala mwa Asia inako.
23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
Mweyo inako cikwabuka cifoyoyo mwa Efese kuamana ni Nzila.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;
Demetrius yopanga isilivela ya Diana, Cikwaba ni bisinisi kubantu babeza.
25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
Cakopanya babeleki bonse bamusebezi wa kubeza ni kuwamba, “Nfumwangu, wizi kuti mowunu musebezi tupanga masheleni mangi.
26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, which are made with hands:
Mubwene ni kuzuwa kuti, kanji mwa Efese monke kono ni mwa Asia yonse, Paulusi caba kukuweza niku bawambila. kuti kakwina Ireeza yopangiwa ca mayanza.
27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; 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 worshippeth.
Imi kana bukabo bwabo bonke kono niswe zintu zetu kese zisakahale kubantu, mane ni tempele ya mufumahali Diana Ireeza mukando muibule maata. Imi naye mwamaninwe bukando bwakwe mwa Asia ni mwinkanda yonse.”
28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Habazuwa bulyo, bababengi ni kulila, Cibawamba, “Bukando bwina ha Diana yozwa mwa Efese.”
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.
Muleneñi onse babalyangani, cibahwei kucibaka cazizanino. Paulusi ni basindikizi bakwe mumusipili wabo, Gaius ni Aristarchus bazwa kwa Macedonia.
30 And when Paul would have entered in to the people, the disciples permitted him not.
Paulusi abali kusaka kwinjila mukati kenyangela kono batumiwa baba musilelezi.
31 And certain of the chief of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him, beseeching him that he would not venture himself into the theatre.
Bonse batompeha ba cilalo ca Asia balikani bakwe cibamutumina liñusa kumukumbila kuti sanzi enjili mucibaka ca zizanino.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the greater part knew not why they had come together.
Bamwi bantu baba kuhuwana cintu conke, mane inyangela ciba lyangene, Bungi bwabo kana baba kwizi kuti cinzi habakeza bonse bonse.
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 to the people.
Majuda cibaleta Alexander habusu bwe nyangela. Alexander abali kulila mumayanza kutolokela inyangela.
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.
kono habeza kulemuha kuti Mujuda, bonse cibalila ca linzwi nyonke inhola zobele, “Bukando nji bwa Diana yozwa mwa Efese.”
35 And when the townclerk had quieted the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
Muñoli we tolopo hawamba ni nyangela, Cawamba, “Inwe bantu ba Efese, njeni yasezi kuti muleneñi wa Efese mwasebeleza mukando Diana ni ciswaniso cibawili hansi kuzwa kwiwulu?
36 Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Hamubona izi zintu zipangahala, muswanela kutontola niku sahwelela zintu.
37 For ye have brought here these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
Bantu bamwaleta kumulawo kana basa bamwi tempele kapa kuwamba zibi kuamana ni Ireeza wetu.
38 Therefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen who are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them accuse one another.
Heba, Demetriusi ni mubeleki yobeza kabazuwani, mulao kuwina wiyalukite. Mubasiye bazekisane.
39 But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
Kono heba kwina zimwi zilukela kuambolwa, muzilukiswe hande comulao.
40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no cause by which we may give an account of this riotous gathering.
kakuti kwina inkozi kuamana nindaba za pangahala sunu, kakwina intatululo iwambiwe kuamana nei indaba, kese tuwole kuitatulusa.”
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Hamana kuwamba izo calukulula bantu.
