Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
Chuin Apollos Corinth a aum jing lai chun Paul jong chuche gamkai sunga chun avah len Ephesus ahung lhun chun seijui tampi amun amaho koma chun,
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.”
“Natahsan uva chu Lhagao Theng nachan nah uvem?” tin adong in ahile, amahon “Kachang pouve, Lhagao Theng aume akiti lam jong kajakha pouve,” atiuvin ahi.
3 He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
Chuin aman adong kit in “Ahileh ipia baptize chang nahiuvem?” ati. Amahon jong “John baptize chanin,” atiuve.
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.”
Chuin Paul in, “John baptize chan chu chonset na a kon lunghei na ding bou ahi, ahin John jeng in jong miho jah a chun ama jouva hung ding pachu tahsanun,” ati, hichu Yeshua aseina ahi.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Chuche thu ajah jah un abonchauvin Pakai Yeshua minin baptize achang tauvin ahi.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
Chuin Paul in achung'uva khut angamin ahile, Lhagao Theng achung'uva ahung chutan, chule abonchauvin paochom athouvin gaothu asei tauvin ahi.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
Amaho chu abonun mi somleni ahiuve.
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.
Chuin Paul chu kikhopna in'ah alut in hapta thum sungin hangsan tah in thu aseiyin, thununsah teina ding in Pathen lenggam thu ahilin ahi.
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.
Ahin mi konkhat chu alouchal uvin thu kisei chu sanglouvin, lhang phongtah in asei seuvin ahi. Hijeh chun Paul in kikhopna in chu adalhan seijui ho chu akipui doh'in Tyrannus muna thuseina in khat'ah niseh in akihoulim pitan ahi.
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.
Hiti chun kumni jen abol'un ahile Asia gamsung pumpia Judah te le Greek mi abonchauvin Pakai thu chu ajatauvin ahi.
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
Chuin Pathen in Paul chu bolmo kidang bolthei na tha ape tan ahi.
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.
Chuti chun ultheh pon hihen lang achunga kai pon poupou hijong le achoiyun adamlouho chunga akoiyun ahile adamlou nau chu adamin asunga lhagao phalou ho jong ajamdoh jin ahi.
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.”
Chuin Judah miho phabep khopi khat'a konin khopi khat ah avah leuvin, lhagao boh ho anodoh un, amaho chun Pakai Yeshua min pat ding agouvin, “Paul in alhangsap Yeshua mina thu kapeh nahi, hungpot in!” tin asei jiuvin ahi.
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Hitia thil bol chu thempu lenloi, Sceva chate pasal sagi ho ahiuve.
15 The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
Ahin chutia nikhat abolgot kit laitah un lhagao boh chun, “Yeshua le Paul chu kahenai, nang koi nahiuvem?” atin ahi.
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.
Chuin lhagao boh voppa chu amaho chunga achomlut in amaho chu athajo in asugim tauvin ahile amaho chu sagohkeo le maha pun ajamdoh tauvin ahi.
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.
Hiche thilsoh chu Ephesus khopi sunga Judate le Greek mite hengah gangtah in akithe jal tan ahile, khopi sungah kichat tijatna adim tan, Pakai Yeshua min chu nasatah in ajabol tauvin ahi.
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
Chuin seijui tamtah ho chun achonset thilbol'u aphong tauvin ahi.
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.
Chuin doichoi ho mitam tah'in jong a lekhabu-u ahin choi khom uvin, mipi ang sung laitah a agouvam tauvin ahi. Hiche alekhabu-u chu dangka tamtah man ahi.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
Hiche Pakai natoh thudol chu muntina akithe jaltan thahat tah'in na atong tan ahi.
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.”
Chuin phat chomkhat jouvin lhagao vin asoljeh chun Paul chu Jerusalem ache masang in Mecedonia le Achaia gam'a ding in achen, “Chujou tengle Rome a kache ding ahi,” tin aseiyin ahi.
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
Chuin ama Asia gam'a phat chomkhat aum nalaiyin, Timothy le Erastus chu akithopi ding in Mecedonia a amasol in ahi.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Chuche phatlai chun Ephesus ah hiche kithuhilna lampi chung changa boina khohtah khat ahung umdohtan ahi.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Ajeh chu Demetrius kiti mikhat aumin, ama chu dangka a sumkolvei mi ahin, aman khutthem ho chu dangka in Greek te pathen Artemis lim akhen sah in hoitah in akoiyin ahi.
25 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
Chuin aman anatoh kibah piho chu akou khomin ajah uva: “Mipi ho hiche sumkolvei na hi ihaodoh nau ahi,” ati.
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.
“Ahin najah uva namu bang un, hiche Paul hin miho jouse koma khut a kisem limho hi pathen tahbeh ahipoi tin aseiyin mijouse alhemlha tai, chule hiche thuhi Ephesus khopi bouseh a asei ahipon Asia gamsung pumpia asei le ahi!
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.”
Ahinai! Isumkolvei nau mijousen nahsah moa akoi ding thubou kasei ahipoi, ahin Artemis pathen houna in thupina jouse aman a, chule Asia gamsung pumpi le vannoi pumpia hiche pathen houna aman thah ding jong hi kagelkhoh tah khat ahi!” ati.
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Hichun akikhom miho chu alung hangjah jeng uvin, “Ephesus mite pathen Artemis alen'e,” tin hasap in asam tauvin ahi.
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.
Hichun khopi sunga miho chu alung boilah lah jeng uvin, mipi chun Paul hin kilhonpi Macedonia gam'a kon Gaius le Aristarchus chu amanun golseh vetna muna chun akailut tauvin ahi.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
Chuin Paul jong chu lut ding agon, ahin seijui hon analut sah pouvin ahi.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
Chuin Asia gamsung a Paul loi le gol milen milal phabep in Paul henga thu ahin thot un, golseh vetna muna lut loubeh ding in ahung taovun ahi.
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.
Golseh vetna mun sunga chun mipi chu apeng lah lah un mi abangin thilkhat asamun, abangin thildang khat asamun, hiti chun aeu lah lah jenguvin, abangloi chun ipi jeh a kikhom ahiu jong ahepouvin ahi.
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.
Chuin mipi lah a um Juda miho chun Alexander chu mipi masanga ahin sondoh un thilsoh thudol ahil chet dingin asolun ahi. Chuin aman mipi ho chu aphoh thip in houlim ding agon ahi.
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!”
Ahinlah mipi ho chun amapa chu Juda mi ahi ahetdoh phat un, hatah in asamkit un, “Ephesus Artemis alen e, Ephesus Artemis alen e!” tin nidan ni lang asamun ahi.
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?
Ajo jo nan khopi vaipopa chun mipi ho chu aphoh thip in aman, “Vo Ephesus mite, Ephesus khopi hi vana kona hung khelha Artemis len lim houin ngah ahi hi mijousen ahet ahi,” ati.
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
“Hiche thutah hi koiman aseilep theilou ahijeh'in nangho thipkhen chan um unlang imacha kinothethun bol dauvin.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Hiche napuilut-u mite hin houin'a konin imacha agudoh pouvin, eiho pathen dounan jong ima asei pouve.
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.
Amavang Demetrius le anatoh kibahpi khutthem hon amaho hehset nading thu aneiyuva ahile thutanna in honsan aum jinge, chule gamvaipoho henga jong athu agasei theiyu ahi. Amaho koma khun ga kihehsah tauvin.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Chule ahehnau thudang aumle vang angaiya kikhopna in'a athu tanding ahi.
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.”
Ajeh beiya boina soh ahijeh'in ajole Rome vaipoten ichunguva thu ahin tan khah diu ham tin kichat nan kadime. Ajeh chu Rome vaipoten tuni thilsoh thudol hilchen dingin eihin dongule ima isei thei lou diu ahi,” ati.
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Hiti chun mipi ho chu anodoh tan ahile amaho akikhen tauvin ahi.
