Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
U Apolo nali hu Korintho, u Paulo ashilile hunsi izya pamwanya afishile hu Efeso atangine na manyili yhwo.
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.”
U Paulo wabhabhuzya, “Huje, mwamposhiye Umpepo Ufinjile pamwahitishe?” Bhaga, “Ha' aa, atahuhwumvwe siga tahumvwizye huje huli Umpepo Ufinjile.”
3 He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
U Paulo wabhabhuuzya, “Eshi mwahoziwe?” Wozyonshii, “Abheene bhaga uwozyo 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.”
U Paulo waga, “U Yohana abhozizye huwozyo wa alambe. Abhabhuulile bhaala aje bhamwitishe uyo yahwinza pamande uYesu.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Abhantu nabhuumvwa enongwa ezi bhoziwa hwitawa lya Yesu Kilisti.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
U Paulo nawabhabhishila amakhono pitwe Umpepo Ufinjile wabhishila bhanda ayanje enjango empya nakuwe.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
Bhahali alume ilonga na bhabhili.
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.
U Paulo ahinjila mwisinagogi amezi gatatu. Alongozyaga enjangano na bhavute abhantu hwa Yesu nu uumwene uwa humwanya.
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.
Lelo Ayahudi bhamo bhahali na mampuli sigabhahitihaga, bhaligaga nabhayangaga ezya Yesu. U Paulo wabhefwa aKtilisti wabhala nabho muukumbi wa Tirano abhamanyizye.
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.
Ahindiliye isho humaha gabhili bhonti bhabhakhalaga hu Asia bhahumvwizye izu lya Ngulubhi Ayahudi na Ayunani(Agriki).
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
Ungulubhi abhombaga amambo amagosi hukhono gwa 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.
abhabhinu bhaponaga ata utuleso na menda gagafumile mubili gwa Paulo bhabhapalamansiaga nago bhaponaga ne Mpepo embibhi zyahepaga mwabhantu.
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.”
Bhahali Ayahudi bhamo bhaali bhemazimu, bhahanzaga alitumile itawa lya Yesu hu faida yabho, bhabhabhuulaga abhantu bhabhali ne Mpepo embibhi epa hwitawa lya Yesu ula yalumbililwa nu Paulo.”
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Bhabhabhombaga isho bhali saba bhahali bhanabha sikewa yahali Gosi wishibhanza sha Yahudi, Skewa.
15 The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
Zila Impepo embibhi zyabhabhuula zyaga, “U Paulo timinye nu Yesu wope timinye amwe mwenanuu?”
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.
Zila empepo zyabhatomoshela zya bhamena ikhoni, zyabhavwalazya. Bhashimbila shabhali welele afume munyumba mula.
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.
Ijambo eli lyamanyiha hwa bhantu bhonti, Ayahudi na Giriki, bhogopa itawa lya Yesu lyatinihwa na bhantu.
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
Akristo bhinji bhenza alambe, bhazibhonesya embibhi zabhabhomba.
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.
Abhantu bhabhatumilaga evitabu alagulile bhahaleta evitabu vyabhobhavipemba nu mwoto, bhabhazizye egalama yakwe yahali evipanda vyehala elfu amalongo gasanu.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
Izu lya Ngulubhi lyanyampana hwonti.
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.”
U Paulo nawamala imbombo yakwe hula hu Efeso Umpepo walongozya abhale hu Yerusalemu ashilile hu Makedonia na hu Akaya; Waga na nakhala uhwo nehaibhala hu Rumi.”
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
U Paulo wabhatuma amanyili bhakwe bhabhili, u Timotheo nu Erasto, bhabhamwavwize. Lelo umwene ahasagala hu Asia.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Hula hu Efeso abhantu bhaletile efujo husababu yidala liila.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Umuntu umo ali Sonara itawa ali yu Demetrio, alinganya ga utufwanitwihela ufwa Ungulubhi u Diana, aletile ebiashara yakwe hwa fundi.
25 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
Wabhabunganya afundi bhonti abhimbombo iyo, wabhabhuula huje, “Mumenye ebiashara ene huja etipela ehela zyinyinji.
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.
Siga hu Efeso hwene, nahu Asia hwonti eshi unu uPaulo abhasulihenye abhantu aiga numo Ungulubhi yalinginywe namakhono.
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.”
Nantele ehweli ehatali iyaje ebiashara yetu sihaihwanziwa, sigayibiashara nyene nu Ngulubhi ushiwi tu ugosi uDiana abhazalauliwe netezye ougosi waluwe, nantele abha Asia bhonti bhahupuuta nensi yonti.
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Nabhahumvwa isho bhahabwaga wikhatwe ni lyoyo, bhahaga, “uDiana wa bha Efeso gosi.”
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.
Umuji gwonti gwabha nefujo abhantu binjila muukumbi wiyango. Bhabhakhate bhabhashulaga nu Paulo, u Gayo nu Aristariko, bhabhafumile hu Makedonia.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
U Paulo ahanzaga ahwinjile mwabhali muukumbi, lelo amanyili bakwe bhaha khanizyu.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
Amaafisa abhe mkoa bhabhali bhakundane nu Paulo bhatumile uujumbe huje asahinjile muukumbi uwinyango.
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.
Abhantu bhachanganyikine sigabhaminye ne zyabhayanga, bhamo bhaiga eshi bhamo shila.
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 bhaleta u Iskanda hwabhabhungine abhantu bhabhiha hwitagalila. U Iskanda ahabhapumya abhantu aje ayanje na bhantu, afumye amaelezo.
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!”
Abhantu nabhamanya huje Iskanda Yahudi bhabwaga ibwago amasala gabhili bhaga uDiana gosi wa bha Efeso.”
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?
Usimbi we muji nawabhapumya ubhungano gula waga amwe mubhalume mubha Efeso wenu yasiga aminye huje umuji ogu gwa Efeso gwagutunza eshibhanza sha Diana ugosi nela epicha yehagwiye afume humwanya?
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
Eshi poomi nasoti, ezi sigatibhomba nanali, musabhombe nahamo.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Eshi mubhaletile abhantu ebha palonzi sigabhiibha nantele sigabhalijile Ungulubhi wetu ushe.
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.
Eshi u Demetrio na bhamwabho nafundi bhakwe nkashele bhali na mashitako gagonti numuntu yayonti ikoroti lihweli wazi bhaletwe palonzi.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Lelo nkashele uhwanza amambo aganji tibhagalonje sheshinza.
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.”
Tili muhatari iyalongwe uefujo ezi nantele sigatibhajiye azigolosye enongwa ezi.
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Nawayanga isho wabhanyampanya abhantu.
