Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
Ikatula kina uApolo nai wakatula ku Korintho, uPaulo akakila matumbi a migulya nu kupika kisali nika Efeso, hangi wakahanga amanyisigwa kituunga kung'wanso.
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.”
uPaulo aka atambuila, “Itii, ai mumusingiiye uNg'wau Ng'welu nai muhuiie?” Aka mutambuila, “Aa, shanga ai kuhumile ga nukija kutula uNg'wau Ng'welu.”
3 He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
uPaulo akaligitya, “Itungili unyenye ai mogigwe uli?” Akaligitya, “Mu wogigwa nuang'wa Yohana.”
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.”
Uugwa uPaulo akasukiilya, “uYohana ai wogilye ku wogigwa nua kila itunu. Aka aila i antu awo kina atakiwe kumuhuiila uyo naiza uzeepembya zeyakilaa nuanso, kuiti, uYesu.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Antu nai akija u lukani ulu, akogigwa ku lina nila Mukulu uYesu.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
Hangi ikatula uPaulo nai wakaikila i mikono akwe migulya ao, uNg'wau Ng'welu wakiza migulya ao nu kandya kitunta ku ntambu nu kulota.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
Jumla ao ai akoli agoha apikiie ikumi na abiili.
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.
uPaulo ai ulongoe mi itekeelo akaligitya ku ukamatiku ku matungo a myeli itaatu. ai utuile utongee u witambuliyi nu kualuta i antu kutula imakani natulikile nu utemi nua ang'wa Itunda.
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.
Kuiti i Ayahudi auya ai atulaa ilugoha hangi ni shanga ijaa, ai andilye kutambula ubii kutula i nzila ang'wa Kristo ntongeela iumbi. Uugwa u Paulo ai ulekenukile ni enso hangi aka abagula i ahuiili kahelu ni enso. Nu ng'wenso ai wandilye kuligitya kila luhiku mu kianda nika Tirano.
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.
Iki ai kilongolekile ku myaka ibiili, ku lulo ihi nai atulaa ikii mu Asia ai igule u lukani nila Mukulu, ihi i Ayahudi ni Ayunani.
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
Itunda ai watulaa ukituma makani makulu ku mikono ang'wa Paulo,
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.
kina ga ni alwae ai akomigwe, ni ahing'wi ai a apumile, itungo nai ahoile u mukako nu ng'wenda nai ipumile mu muili nuang'wa Paulo.
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.”
Kuiti ai amoli Ayahudi akuhiilya a hing'wi ai alongoe muhinzo kukiila i kipango ni kanso, ai alitumie i lina nilang'wa Yesu ku nsoko a utumili nuao akola. Aze atambuila awo nai akete i ahing'wi; Azeligitya, “Kumulagiilya mupume mu lina nilang'wa Yesu naiza uPaulo ukimutanantya.”
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Nai itumile aya ai atulaa ana mupungati ang'wa kuhani nu Mukulu nua Ayahudi, uSkewa.
15 The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
Ahing'wi aka asukiilya, “uYesu kumulingile, nu Paulo kumulingile; Kuiti unyenye ingi a anyenyu?”
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.
Uyo u hing'wi mukati a muntu waka aputila i akuhiilya a hing'wi nu kuakilya i ngulu nu kua kua. Uugwa akamanka kupuma ito ilo aze ikipwi nu kuaaligwa.
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.
Ikani ili likakumuka ku ihi. Ayahudi ni Ayunani, naza ikiee uko ku Efeso. Akatula nu woa nangaluu, ni lina nila Mukulu likakila ku kuligwa.
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
Hangi, idu a ahuiili ai azile hangi akihanguila hangi azepumilya intendo nimbi nai itumile.
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.
Idu ai atulaa akituma ukiliki akilingiila i mbugulu niao, akaisonsa ntongeela a kila muntu. Itungo nianso nai aka allya insailo nia intu nianso ai yatulaa ipande magana a nzogu makumi a taano niya mpia.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
Iti gwa ulukani nula Mukulu likakondaniila ku ugali nangaluu mu ngulu.
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.”
ni ang'wa Paulo kukondaniilya u uailya nuakwe uko ku Efeso, Ung'wau Ng'welu aka atongeela kulongola ku Yerusalemu ku kiila ku Makedonia ni Akaya; Akaligitya, Ze yakilaa kutula kung'wanso, intakile ki henga ni Rumi ga.”
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
uPaulo waka alagiilya ku Makedonia i amanyisigwa akwe a biili, uTimotheo nu Erasto, naza atulaa amuaiiye. Kuiti nuanso mukola wakasiga ku Asia ku itungo.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Itungo lilo ai ipumiie minyomo ukulu uko ku Efeso kutula inzila iyo.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Mutyani ung'wi i lina nilakwe Demetrio, naiza uzipilye i a dudu nia mpia ni itunda uDiana, ai wiletaa usuluja ukulu ku atyani.
25 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
Uugwa akailingiila i atyani nia mulimo nuanso nu kuligitya, “Akulu, mulingile kina mu usulsja uwu usese kingilya mpia idu.
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.
Mihengile nu kija kina, shanga udu apa ku Efeso, ila pakupi Asia ihi, uyu uPaulo wa apemaa nu kuapiula i antu idu. Ukuligitya kina kutili i itunda naiza azipigwe ku mikono.
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.”
Hangi shanga udu ikoli ulugu kina usuluja nuitu ukutula shanga utakiwe hangi, kuiti ga ni itekeelo nilang'wa itunda nu musungu niiza mukulu uDiana uhumile kuholwa kutula mugila anga ndogoelyo. Hangi aza uzee huma ga nukulimilya u kulu nuakwe, nuanso naiza ku Asia ni ihi limukulyaa.”
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Nai akija aya, ai izuiwe ni ikuo nu kuzogolya, azeligitya, “uDiana nua ku Efeso ingi mukulu,”
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.
Kisali kihi kikizula minyomo, ni antu akamanka palung'wi mukati a kianda nika miginso, aka a amba ia nyamuhinzo auya nu Paulo, Gayo nu Aristariko, naiapumile ku Makedonia.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
uPaulo ai uloilwe kingila miumbi nila antu, kuiti i amanyisigwa ai amugiiye.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
Ga ni, ang'wi a afisa nia mukoa nu Asia naza atuile ahumbauya akwe akamutwaile lukani ku ngulu nu kumulompa waleke kingila mu kianda nika miginso.
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.
Ang'wi a antu ai atulaa akuligitya i kintu iki ni auya ikani ilo, ku nsoko iumbi nila antu ai latulaa lahalinkanilwa. Idu ao shanga ai ahumile ga nu kulinga ku niki ai azile palung'wi.
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.
Ayahudi akamuleta uIskanda kunzi iumbi nila antu nu kumuika migulya ntongeela a antu. uIskanda akapumya ilingasiilyo ku mukono nuakwe nu kupumya uganulwa ku antu.
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!”
Kuiti nai akalinga kina ung'wenso ingi Muyahudi, ihi akazogolya ku luli lung'wi ku itungo nila saa ibiili, “uDiana ingi mukulu nua Aefeso.”
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?
Ze yakilaa u talishi nua kisali ku likilaja i umbi, ai uligitilye, “Unyenye agoha nia ku Efeso, ingi nyenyu ni shanga ulingile kina i kisali iki nika Efeso ingi musununja nui itekeelo ni lang'wa Diana nu mukulu ni iyo ipisha nai igwie kupuma kilunde?
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
Kihenga gwa kina i makani aya shanga ahumikile, kutakiwe kutula nu ulyuuku hangi leki kitumi kihi ku ukau.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Ku ndogoelyo muitangile i antu awa apa pi ibalaza naza shanga i ii itekeelo ang'wi shanga anya kumukuna itunda nuitu nu musungu.
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.
Ku lulo, anga ize uDametrio ni atyani niakoli palung'wi nu ng'wenso akete mitumbo ku muntu wihi, i mabalaza akoli ng'walyi ni aliwali amoli. Ni aletwe ntongeela a lukani.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Kuiti anga ize u ewe udume kihi kutula makani ni mangiiza, akitung'wa mi ianza nila tai taai.
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.”
Ku tai kukoli mu ulugu nua kusigwa ibii kutula minyomo luhiku ulu. Kutili nsoko a ushapu uwu, hangi shanga kuutula nu uhumi nua kuganula.
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Ze yakilaa kuligitya aya, aka asapatilya ai anyianza.
