Acts 19
1 During the stay of Apollos in Corinth, Paul, after passing through the inland districts, came to Ephesus, where he found a few disciples.
Apollos Corinthen cela guertha cedin, Paul garaico bazter guciac iraganic ethor baitzedin Ephesera: eta han discipulu batzu eridenic erran ciecén,
2 "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you first believed?" he asked them. "No," they replied, "we did not even hear that there is a Holy Spirit."
Ala recebitu duçue Spiritu saindua sinhetsi vkan duçuenean? Eta hec erran cieçoten, Are Spiritu saindua denez-ere, eztiagu ençun.
3 "Into what then were you baptized?" he asked. "Into John's baptism," they replied.
Orduan dioste, Certan bada batheyatu içan çarete? Eta hec erran ceçaten, Ioannesen Baptismoan.
4 "John," he said, "administered a baptism of repentance, bidding the people believe on One who was to come after him; namely, on Jesus."
Orduan Paulec erran ceçan, Ioannesec batheyatu vkan du emendamenduco Baptismoaz, ciotsala populuari, haren ondotic ethorteco cena baithan sinhets leçaten, erran nahi baita, Iesus Christ baithan.
5 On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;
Gauça hauc ençunic bada, batheya citecen Iesus Iaunaren icenean.
6 and when Paul laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.
Eta escuac gainean eçarri cerauztenean Paulec, ethor cedin Spiritu saindua hayén gainera, eta minçatzen ciraden lengoagez, eta prophetizatzen çutén.
7 They numbered in all about twelve men.
Eta guiçon hauc gucioc ciraden hamabitarano.
8 Afterwards he went into the synagogue. There for three months he continued to preach fearlessly, explaining in words which carried conviction the truths which concern the Kingdom of God.
Guero bera sarthuric synagogán, Frangoqui minçatzen cen, hirur hilebethez disputatzen eta exhortatzen ari cela Iaunaren resumari dagozcan gaucéz.
9 But some grew obstinate in unbelief and spoke evil of the new faith before all the congregation. So Paul left them, and, taking with him those who were disciples, held discussions daily in Tyrannus's lecture-hall.
Eta nola batzu gogortzen baitziraden eta ezpaitzuten obeditu nahi, gaizqui Iaunaren bideaz minçatzen ciradela populuaren aitzinean, hetaric bera partituric, separa citzan discipuluac, egun oroz disputatzen ari cela Tyranno baten escholán.
10 This went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of the province of Asia, Jews as well as Greeks, heard the Lord's Message.
Eta haur eguin içan cen bi vrthez: hala non Asian habitatzen ciraden guciéc, ençuten baitzutén Iesus Iaunaren hitza, hambat Iuduéc nola Grecoéc.
11 God also brought about extraordinary miracles through Paul's instrumentality.
Eta costumatu etziraden verthuteac eguiten cituen Iaincoac Paulen escuz:
12 Towels or aprons, for instance, which Paul had handled used to be carried to the sick, and they recovered from their ailments, or the evil spirits left them.
Hala non are erién gainera ekarten baitzituzten haren gorputz gainetic crobitchetac eta conciertoac, eta ioaiten baitziraden hetaric eritassunac, eta spiritu gaichtoac hetaric ilkiten baitziraden.
13 But there were also some wandering Jewish exorcists who undertook to invoke the name of Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, "I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches."
Orduan enseya citecen hara huna ebilten ciraden Iudu exorcista batzu spiritu gaichtoac cituztenén gainean Iesus Iaunaren icenaren inuocatzen, erraiten çutela, Coniuratzen çaituztegu Paulec predicatzen duen Iesusen partez.
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew of high-priestly family, who were doing this.
(Eta ciraden Sceua Iudu Sacrificadore principalarenic çazpi seme, haur eguiten çutenac)
15 "Jesus I know," the evil spirit answered, "and Paul I have heard of, but who are you?"
Baina ihardesten çuela spiritu gaichtoac, erran ceçan, Iesus eçagutzen diat, eta Paul baceaquiat nor den: baina çuec nor çarete?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was sprang on two of them, over-mastered them both, and treated them with such violence, that they fled from the house stripped of their clothes and wounded.
Eta oldarturic hetara spiritu gaichtoa çuen guiçonac, eta hæy garaithuric, bortcha eguin ceçan hayén contra: hala non biluzgorriric eta çaurthuric ihes eguin baitzeçaten etche hartaric.
17 All the people of Ephesus, Jews as well as Greeks, came to know of this. There was widespread terror, and they began to hold the name of the Lord Jesus in high honour.
Eta haur ethor cedin gucién eçagutzera hambat Iuduen nola Greco Ephesen habitatzen ciradenénera: eta eror cedin beldurra hayen gucien gainera, eta magnificatzen cen Iesus Iaunaren icena.
18 Many also of those who believed came confessing without reserve what their conduct had been,
Eta sinhetsi çutenetaric anhitz ethorten ciraden confessatzen eta declaratzen cituztela bere eguinac.
19 and not a few of those who had practised magical arts brought their books together and burnt them in the presence of all. The total value was reckoned and found to be 50,000 silver coins.
Arte curiositatezcoz vsatu vkan çutenec-ere, anhitzec bere liburuäc ekarriric erre citzaten gucién aitzinean: eta hayén valioa estimaturic eriden ceçaten berroguey eta hamar milla dinerorena.
20 Thus mightily did the Lord's Message spread and triumph!
Hala botheretsuqui augmentatzen cen Iaunaren hitza eta confirmatzen.
21 When matters had reached this point, Paul decided in his own mind to travel through Macedonia and Greece, and go to Jerusalem. "After that," he said, "I must also see Rome."
Gauça hauc hunela complitu ciradenean delibera ceçan Paulec Spirituaz, Macedonia eta Achaia iraganic Ierusalemera ioaitera, cioela, Han içan ondoan, Roma-ere ikussi behar dut.
22 But he sent two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he himself remained for a while in Roman Asia.
Eta igorriric Macedoniara aiutatzen çutenetaric biga baitziraden Timotheo eta Erasto, bera gueldi cedin dembora batetacotz Asian.
23 Now just at that time there arose no small commotion about the new faith.
Baina eguin cedin dembora hartan truble handibat doctrinaren causaz.
24 There was a certain Demetrius, a silversmith, who made miniature silver sanctuaries of Diana, a business which brought great gain to the mechanics in his employ.
Ecen Demetrius deitzen cen cilharguile, Dianaren cilharrezco templetchoguile batec, anhitz irabaz eraciten cerauen officiocoey:
25 He called his workmen together, and others who were engaged in similar trades, and said to them, "You men well know that our prosperity depends on this business of ours;
Hec bilduric, eta halaco gaucetaco officier ciradenac, erran ceçan, Guiçonác, badaquiçue ecen officio hunetaric heldu diradela gure onac:
26 and you see and hear that, not in Ephesus only but throughout almost the whole province of Asia, this fellow Paul has led away a vast number of people by inducing them to believe that they are not gods at all that are made by men's hands.
Eta badacussaçue eta badançuçue nola ez Ephesen solament, baina quasi Asia gucian Paul hunec sinhets eraciric itzuli duela populu handi, erraiten duela, ecen eztiradela iainco escuz eguiten diradenac.
27 There is danger, therefore, not only that this our trade will become of no account, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will fall into utter disrepute, and that before long she will be actually deposed from her majestic rank--she who is now worshipped by the whole province of Asia; nay, by the whole world."
Eta peril da ez solament gure gauça descrida dadin, baina are Diana handiaren templea guehiagoric deus estima eztadin, eta deseguin eztadin haren maiestate Asia guciac eta munduac ohoratzen dutena.
28 After listening to this harangue, they became furiously angry and kept calling out, "Great is the Ephesian Diana!"
Eta gauça hauc ençunic, eta hiraz betheric oihuz iar citecen, Ephesianoen Diana handiá!
29 The riot and uproar spread through the whole city, till at last with one accord they rushed into the Theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, two Macedonians who were fellow travellers with Paul.
Eta bethe cedin hiri gucia confusionez, eta oldar citecen gogo batez theatrera, harturic Gayo eta Aristarche Macedonianoac, Paulen bideco lagunac.
30 Then Paul would have liked to go in and address the people, but the disciples would not let him do so.
Eta Paul populua baithara sarthu nahi cenean, etzeçaten vtzi discipuluéc.
31 A few of the public officials, too, who were friendly to him, sent repeated messages entreating him not to venture into the Theatre.
Baina Asiaco principaletaric batzuc-ere, nola baitziraden haren adisquide, harengana igorriric othoitz ceguioten, ez ledin theatrera presenta.
32 The people, meanwhile, kept shouting, some one thing and some another; for the assembly was all uproar and confusion, and the greater part had no idea why they had come together.
Bada batzu bataz oihuz ceuden, eta berceac berceaz: ecen confus cen compainiá, eta anhitzec etzaquiten cergatic bildu içan ciraden.
33 Then some of the people crowded round Alexander, whom the Jews had pushed forward; and Alexander, motioning with his hand to get silence, was prepared to make a defence to the people.
Orduan gendetzetic campora auança ceçaten Alexandre, Iuduéc hura bulkatzen çutela. Eta Alexandrec, ichil litecen escuaz keinu eguinic, nahi ceraucan causá allegatu populuari.
34 No sooner, however, did they see that he was a Jew, than there arose from them all one roar of shouting, lasting about two hours. "Great is the Ephesian Diana," they said.
Baina eçagutu çutenean ecen hura Iudu cela, altcha cedin gucietaric vozbat, quasi bi orenez oihu eguiten çutela, Ephesianoén Diana handiá!
35 At length the Recorder quieted them down. "Men of Ephesus," he said, "who is there of all mankind that needs to be told that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Diana and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
Orduan scribariac gendetzea appacegaturic, erran ceçan, Epheseco guiçonác, cein da guiçona eztaquiana ecen Epheseco hiria dedicatua dela Diana handiaren, eta Iupiterganic iautsi içan den imaginaren cerbitzura?
36 These facts, then, being unquestioned, it becomes you to maintain your self-control and not act recklessly.
Nehor bada gauça hautan contrasta ecin daitenaren gainean, appacega çaitezten beharda, eta deus desordenatuqui eztaguiçuen.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
Ecen ekarri vkan dituçue guiçon hauc ezpaitirade ez sacrilege, ez ezpaitute çuen iaincossá diffamatzen.
38 If, however, Demetrius and the mechanics who support his contention have a grievance against any one, there are Assize-days and there are Proconsuls: let the persons interested accuse one another.
Beraz baldin Demetriusec eta harequin diraden officieréc eguitecoric baduté cembeiten contra, gorte eduquiten da, eta badirade Proconsulac, elkar accusa beçate.
39 But if you desire anything further, it will have to be settled in the regular assembly.
Eta baldin berce gauçaz deus galdeguiten baduçue, congregatione bidezqui bilduan concludi ahal daite.
40 For in connexion with to-day's proceedings there is danger of our being charged with attempted insurrection, there having been no real reason for this riot; nor shall we be able to justify the behaviour of this disorderly mob."
Ecen peril da seditionez accusa ezgaitecen, egungo egunagatic, truble huneçaz raçoin eman ahal deçaquegun causaric eztenaz gueroz.
41 With these words he dismissed the assembly.
Eta gauça hauc erran cituenean biltzarreari congit eman cieçón.
