Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
Apollos Korin ni angta doh, Pool Ephesas hah noongrep ni tumkhoomta. Erah ni heliphante wasiit wanyi chomui ano
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.”
cheng rumta, “Kristaan eh hoontan adoh Esa Chiiala chotam etan?” Eno neng ih ngaakbaat rumta, “Esa Chiiala eje ngeh ih taan boseh tajatke.”
3 He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
“Ese no bah ah, tiimjaat juutem tan?” Pool ih weecheng rumta. “Neng ih ngaak baatta” Joon juutem temti.
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.”
Pool ih baat rumta, “Joon juutem ah langla o mina rangdah sekthunta erah mina ah raangtaan eh, eno Joon ih Ijirel mina loong asuh baatta nga lih ni kaatte tiit ah hanpi an—erah langla, Jisu.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Erah chaat rum ano Teesu Jisu mendi juutem rumta.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
Pool ih heh lak ih taajoot rum kano neng sak ni Esa Chiiala ah ra ih taha; eno erah miloong ah jengkhaap ena ena dongjeng rum ano Rangte tiitwaan ah baat ih rumta.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
Neng loong ah rooproop eh asih wanyi taan miwah ang rumta.
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.
Laajom mongdi Pool Jehudi rangsoomnok ni kah ano miloong ah damdi lacho laphaan ih roongwaan kata, eno Rangmong tiit ah baat rum ano nuune rumta.
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.
Mararah tenthun ah jong ajaan likhiik ang ano tahanpi rumta, eno nokwah dungni Teesu tiit ah ethih ethih ih jeng rumta. Eno Pool ih hanpiite loong ah siit ano doksoon kata, erah ni saarookwet ih Tirannas tiitwaan roongwaan nok adi roongwaan rumta.
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.
Emamah paangnyi tongtha rumta, erah thoidi Esia hah ni tongte, Jehudi nyia Ranglajatte loong ah ih Teesu tiitkhaap ah japchaat rumta.
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
Rangte ih Pool suh mabah uh lataat jat rumka paatjaajih loong ah reeraang thukta.
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.
Theehut theng nyusah ah khoisatte reeni maatkaat koleh nyia huikaat koleh, maasat uh ede eta eno chiithih laakhah uh doksoon eta.
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.”
Mararah Jehudi loong ah ih chiithih laakhah dokphan suh tum khoomte loong ah ih uh erah likhiik Jisu mendi taatthaak dokphan ih rumta. Erah loong ah ih chiithih laakhah asuh liita, “Pool ih baatta Jisu tiit ah mendi phan hala.”
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Jehudi nok hah Romwah phokhothoon Sewa sah loong, wasinet ah ih emah taatthaak dokphan rumta.
15 The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
Enoothong chiithih laakhah ah ih neng suh liita, “Ngah ih Jisu jat ih ang, Pool uh jat ih ang; enoothong sen—o ah?”
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.
Chiithih laakhah pan warah doonpit ano neng loong ah nobuh rumta. Erah nok dowa, sokkhook maalook nyia nengnyuh nengkhat chiinhoom choi tiisoon rumta.
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.
Ephisus ni tongte Jehudi nyia Ranglajatte loong ah ih erah japchaat rum ano; rapne ih cho rumta eno Jisu men ah rapne ih raksiit rumta.
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
Hanpiite loong ah ih nokwah dungni neng rangdah maangdi mokre rumta loong ah dokbaat ih rumta.
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.
Maantaan loong ah ih neng leedap ah piikaat rum ano nokwah dungni mattak rumta. Leedap thaang ah thaak weh rum ano, rooproop ih haajaat rookbangnga ngunkholok angta.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
Erah likhiik Teesu tiitkhaap ah ehanhan ih ruurangta.
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.”
Erah lih adi, Mesidonia nyia Akaia ni tumkhoom ano Jerusalem ni wang suh Pool ih samthunta. Pool ih liita, “Erah hah nah wang lidoh,” “Room hah nah ngah wang jaatjaat etheng.”
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
Erah thoidi heh damdi roong mootkaatte Timothi nyia Erastas ah, Mesidonia ni wangthuk nyuuta, eno Esia hah ni Pool ah rekam tongthiinta.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Erah tokdi Ephesas ni Jisu lamphan thoidi rookmui jengmui rapne ih angta.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Tongmih mi hoonte, Demetrias ngeh ih angta ah ih Artemis Rangte nok laaphaang ah hoon ano, heh damdi reeraang paknaate loong asuh ngun rapne ih bi thuk rumta.
25 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
Erah thoidi heh pheehoon mootkaat likhiik o ih hoonta erah miloong ah khoonpoon ano baat rumta. “Jaaroh loong, sen ih jat ehan seng chang ah arah dowa ih tanih tengli.
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.
Eno sen ih taatsok thaak an nyia sen na ih taat chaat thaak an Pool ih tiimjih hoon wan hala. Pool ih baat rumha lak ih hoonha ah mabah uh rangte tah angka, eno Ephesas nyia Esia hah re dowa miloong ah rapne ih roonphak rumha.
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.”
Seng pheehoon mootkaat ah rakmu riike nyia cho etheng ih hoonla. Erah luulu lah angthang eh, Artemis men arang ju maat ih baat ah, erah thoidi cho etheng ih hoonla—heh rang ah Esia nyia hakong rookwet ni tanih soomha!”
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Erah jengkhaap ah chaat rum ano mih lomkhoon rumta loong ah rapne ih khah rum ano riiraak rumta, “Ephesas dowa Artemis ah rakla!”
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.
Erah chikrok tiit ah samnuthung noongrep ni ruurangta. Mesidoniate wanyi Gaius nyia Aristarkos, Pool damdi roong tum khoomte anyi, miloong ah ih seehoon boongkaat nok adi hoom kaat rumta.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
Pool heh teeteewah midung ni kaat suh taat liita, eno hanpiite loong ah ih takaat thuk rumta.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
Erah hah dowa, marah marah ngoong awang Pool joonte loong ah ih uh, seehoon boongkaat nok adoh nak toom tupkhoom kawe ah ngeh ih jengkhaap maatbaat rumta.
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.
Erah pootdi ngoongthumte loong ah rapne ih phaangdat rumta; miloong ah jihoh jihoh riiraak rumta, mamah liidi neng dung ni mih ehanko ah ih tiim thoidi lomkhoon wang rumta erah tajat rumta.
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.
Jehudi mihak phokhoh loong ah ih Alekjendar ah tiim jeng theng ang abah uh an jeng theng li rum ano ngakhoh ko tut haatkaat rumta. Eno Alejander ih nak hoopti an ngeh ih heh lak ah tangjap ano neng teewah pangjeng jeng suh taat chungta.
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!”
Eno neng ih Jehudi ngeh ih jatrum ano phoosiitsiit tiit ah koonta nyi riiraak rumta: Ephesas dowa Artemis ah rakla!”
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?
Lithoon ni samnuh dowa apit ni mootte warah ih miloong ah kok manghoop rumta. “Ephisas phoh ano loong!” “Warep ih jat eha Ephesas samnuthung ah Artimis rangsoomnok nyia esa jong thiinte, eno erah jong ah rang nawa dat taha ngeh ah.
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
O ih uh tajen daanka. Erah raangtaan eh, sen lahoopti theng, lalangka ah lareeraang theng.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Arah mih anyi ih seng rangsoomnok uh tathet haatka adoleh rangte tiit uh labaat nyuuka di siitkaat halan.
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.
Demetrius nyia heh mootkaatte loong ah ih o tiit hoontheng ang abah uh, sen tiit hoonkotte elong elang eje adoleh tiit hoon theng nok uh saarookwet raangtaan ih eje; tiit ah erah doh hoon theng.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Adoleh, tiit ajeng ah erah nang ih elong ih hoon theng li an baleh, nok atang loongtang ngathong nah tiit ah hoon theng.
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.”
Chiinnyah tiit ajeng arah dongla lidoh, cho etheng eje mat ah o ih chaang theng ah. Arah mat dong hoomte ah biin anaan tahoonru; seng ih uh tiim thoilam di ang koja erah tami baatke.”
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Erah jengkhaap jeng lidi, ngoongthumte loong ah saapsoon ih thuk rumta.
