Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
Afolos firen koranti, Bulus kentangum bitine diyele con bo cinanr lor Afisa. fou tak co fiya kangem nob bwanka.
2 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
Bulus yici kom yo yuwa tangbe ka fiya kom ni bilenke cin ciya, o-ong nyo nuwambo fulen yuwa tangbeko wucakke wi.
3 He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
Bulus la ki yuka mwenge ko wini kom mane, ciki yuka mwenge Yahaya.
4 Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”
Bulus ciya ki yahaya ma nubo nen yuka mwenge yiloka, yiki kom ne bilenke wo a boti bwiti bwiko cek, Yesu.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Nubo nuwa nyori, co ci yu cinen mwembo ki den teluwe Yesu.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
Di la Bulus yoti kanko dor cer dila yuwa tangbeko wucakke, yirau dor cer, cin tok ker kange nyitin kange to ka dukume.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
Cin dim bi kate kwob shilombo yob.
8 He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.
Bulus doken kor bi waber co merangti ki bi kwan bwiyer na cuka taar ce. bwantenti ci mor fowaka keret, co fwetang nubonenti ciya ne bilenke, dor dike tabi na liyar kwamaro ce.
9 But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
Dila kangem yahudawa bongum, cin ko bwankako, di cin yoten kanka nure Almasiya kabum mwerka nobek. Nyori Bulus kwab cinen wari kange nubo ne bilenke, yoten merangkako mor merangka Tyrannus.
10 This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Nyo co matiye dim curo yob, yaken biten Asia nuwan ker kwamaro, yahudawa kange Helinawa.
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
Kwama ma nangen do dur kan Bulus.
12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
Wo nubo nuwa bo luma fiya luma twirak ciyeko dim. yowako bwiko ciru nubo nen, ninga, kange kelkelito, yuwako bwirko ci cerangum bwi nobe. La cin yo lalang kwabka bwi Bulus ce.
13 But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
Yahudawa kangem nub bowab wi cin dob fiye co neneu, cin tu dor cero nin na cin ma nange ki den Yesu, ciki nyo dokkom mor den Yesu wo Bulus ma biwerer cerotiye, kom cerum”.
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Nubo ma dike wo ci bi neber, bibeyo lo nii wabe durko kange bweyude dendo Sceva wii kibi bei niber wo ma dikero wo tieyu.
15 The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
Yuwako bwirko kari ki ma nyomom Yesu, ma nyomom bulus la kumeu, bi we?
16 The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
La yuwako bwirko bwirko mor nii kwenancinenten lam ci cok, ci cer wi ku we cuwo kwancer ki deti.
17 This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Wuro yilam dike nyomom nyome fiye nubo wiye gwam, Yahudawa kange Helenawa nubo yim Afisa. Cin nuwa tai kambo ken, den teluwwe Yesu fiya duktangka.
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
Nob bwankabo dutce tak, ci bo ci kiye nangendo bwirko ci mane.
19 Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Nob buwabo cin bo ki bifumer ciyero cin twirangum kabum nobem wo ci kiye dike a tatiye, Lam bikate kwini nung na mwindo ce.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
La ker kwamaro yalati kibi kwan nure dutce.
21 Now after these things had ended, Paul determined 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.”
Kambo Bulus dim nangen cero na bibweret kwamaroce Afisa, yuwa tanbgeko bwanten ki co nure Makidoniya kange Akiya dor nuret, cin yaken Ursalima, co ki, Bwiko ma ferenne, tamyo ya Roma.
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
Bulus twom bibei tomange ce yob, Timoti, kange Erastus, firen Makidoniya, nobuwo tikan ceu.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Di la co ki bwici con nintanci firen Asiya nyobi dob. Dila kobkankako dur kweni afisa ker dor nure do wo.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Knage nii kwabi dendo Dimatrayus wuro Tuu fulen bwiner tiye wo Diyana ce, wo nangendo bo nob kwabi to nin ti fiya ka kambo ken.
25 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
La cin mwer nub kwabiyo yici ki, kom nyomom ki kwabiyo wo bo fiya kiyemer doka ti dutce.
26 You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands.
Kom to, kom nuwa ki kebo ka afisa, dila gwam biten asiya Bulus wo bolom nubo dutce. Yiti ki “Fulen da kange mani ci yweltiki kange”.
27 Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
Kebo kwabi beto a fiyakomkati ki kwace, dila bikur fulen bero Diyana durku a yilam manki nangen. Nyon ca lem dur cero. Co kange biten Asiya gwam, Kange dorbitiner wabko tiye.
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Di cin nuwa nyori, ci mam funer kambo ken, cin co bi cor ki diro kwamer “Nii dur co Diyana wo Afisa”.
29 The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.
Cinan loro gwam dim ka bwali, nubo tibranbo yaka fiye mwerka. Fiya cuwo cin tam far yame ce Bulus, Gayus, kange Aristarchus, borombo bou Makidoniya.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
Bulus mani naco do mor nobe, di nob bwanka cebo yuwanco.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
Nyo farub Bulus cebo kangembo wo nubo durtinim yare Asiya cin tom cinen ki kemi kwam kwame ca dore tare.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.
Kange nob cuk kange dikerti, kangem ken cuk kange dikerti, wori nobe kweri nero kayam. Dutce more ce nyombo ye bwi ci mwere.
33 They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
Kangem mor nubo yi Iskandari wo Yahudawa cin tung ti kabbeu, dila Iskandari cerou kung kang ceko ki ciya kumom, cwiti na ci yi nubo mwerom meu ker.
34 But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Di la kambo ci nyomom co Bayahude di gwam ciye cin kun kiyange na kang keneko yobece ci tok ti ki, “Dur ki no fiye Artimas wo Afisa.”
35 When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
Di nii mulankako cinanloro cwo nou dor nobere, la co ki, kom nubo Afisa, we nyombo ki Afisa tiberowo fulen (Allaliri) nii dur kange fulen do yaru firen dii kwama?
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
Di la ci kanang bo dike weu, daten kom kumom, kom mare kange diker kutti kutti.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Kom bo ki nubo wuro fou ku bolange, kebo dur cin nob kob, na mor bi kur wabe, kaka nob dilakab fiye kwama be wiye.
38 If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
Tano Damatriyas kange nob kwabito wari kange ciye nan wiki kange ker dor kange ku bolange wi wumom wume, nob bolange bo wiranagi, ci a ya ki kiyange bwitici.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Tano kero kange wi na toka ko ceri an do tiber ciro fou mwerka beko, bo yiti dok-doke.
40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”
Bilenke boki no mor bitore kange kwalkanke wo bwi duweneu. bo manki dike ba torti dor dike wo bwiye, co tok nyori co, ci yo nobe.
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Kambo ca nuwa nyori la con dob nubo yalkange.
