Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
Nibha ati Apollo aliga Ali Korinto, Paulo nalbha ingulu no kukinga mumusi gwa Efeso, nasanga abeigisibwa bhafuo eyo.
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.”
Paulo nabhabwila “Angu, mwamulamie Mwoyo Mwelu mwejile mukekilisha?” Mbhamubwila, uli”. Chitatulile kumungwa ati alio Mwoyo mwelu.”
3 He said, “Into what then were you immersed?” They said, “Into Yochanan’s immersion.”
Paulo aikile,” oli emwe mwabhatijibhe kutiki?” Mbhaika, “mubhubhatijo obhwa Yohana
4 Paul said, “Yochanan indeed immersed with the immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Messiah Yeshua.”
Mbe Paulo nasubhya,”Yohana abatijishe kwo obhubhatijo bho kuta. Nabhabhwila abhanu bhalya ati kubheile okumwikilisha uliya unu endaga okuja inyuma yae, unu Ali Yesu.”
5 When they heard this, they were immersed in the name of the Lord Yeshua.
Abhanu Bhejile bhwongwa emisango jinu, nibhabhatijibhwa mwisina lya Latabugenyi Yesu.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
Anu paulo ejile abhatelako amabhoko gae, Mwoyo Mwelu nabhwejila igulu yebhwe no kwambha okwaika kwa jindimi no kubhalikisha.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
Obhujumula bhwebhwe bhaliga bhalume bheile ekumi 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.
Paulo agendele mulikofyanyisho naika kwo bhubhasi kwo mwanya gwa mesi gasatu. Aliga nabhushanya nabho no kubhamenyesha emisango jinu jilengelee obhukama bha Nyamuanga.
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.
Mbe nawe Abhayaudi abhandi bhaliga bhanyantongwa, bhabha okwaika amabhibhi ago kulubhana na injila ya Kristo imbhele ya liijo. Mbe Paulo asigene nabho no kwaukana nabhekilisha kula nabho. Mwenene nambha okwaika bhuli lunaku mu mwigalagalilo elya Tirano.
10 This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Yeshua, both Jews and Greeks.
Linu lyagendelee kwa miaka ebhili, kulwejo bhona bhaliga bhekae mu Asia bhonguywe omusango gwa Latabugenyi, bhona abhayaudi na bhayunani.
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
Nyamuanga aliga nakola bhikolwa bhikulu mu mabhoko ga 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.
nolwo abhalwae, beulisibhe na bhemiyaga mibhibhi (amasambwa) nigasosibhwako, omwanya gunu bhagegele ebhitambhala ne myenda jinu jaliga jisokole ku mubhili gwa 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 Yeshua, saying, “We adjure you by Yeshua whom Paul preaches.”
Mbe nawe bhaliga bhalio abhayaudi bhanu bhenamyaga amasabhwa. bhagendele okulabha olubhala olwo, bhaika lisina lya Yesu kulwa ingulu ye milimu jebhe abhene. Mbhabhabhwila bhanu bhaliga bhana amasabhwa mabhibhi; Mbhaika,” Enibhabhwila musokeko kwa lisina lya Yesu unu Paulo kamulasha.”
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Bhanu bhakolele ganu bhaliga bhalio bhana musanju bho mugabhisi mukulu we chiyaudi, Skewa.
15 The evil spirit answered, “Yeshua I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
Amasambhwa amabhibhi, Ngabhasubhya, “Yesu enimumenya, na Paulo enimumenya; Nawe emwe mulibhaga?”
16 The man in whom the evil spirit was leapt on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Lisabhwa libhibhi lilya linu lyaliga lili munda yo munu nilibhachumila abhenamya bhalya nilibhaiga kwa mananga no kubhabhuma. Niwo nibhabhilima okusoka mu nyumbha ilya bhali tuyu no kuutasibhwa.
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 Yeshua was magnified.
Omusango gunu ngumenyekana ku bhona, ku bhayaudi na abhayunani, bhanu bhaliga bhekae eyo Efeso. Mbhabha no bhubha bhafu, na lisina lya Latabugenyi niliyongesha echibhalo.
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
Nawe abhafu bha bekilisha Bhejile nibhegambha no kwielesha ebhikolwa ebhibhibhi bhinu bhakolele.
19 Many of those who practised magical arts brought their books together and burnt them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Abhafu bhanu bhaliga nibhakola obhufumu bhakumanya ebhitabho bhyebhwe, mbhabhyocha imbele ya bhuli munu. Omwanya gunu bhabhalile ku bhinu ebhyo, nibhikiga bhiumbi makumi gatanu ga jimpirya.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
Kulwejo omusango gwa Latabugenyi niguswila kwo bhafu na managa.
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.”
Paulo nakumisha obhusakisi bhae eyo Efeso, Mwoyo namutangasha okuja Yerusalemu okulabha Makedonia na Akaya; naika, “Ejile akabhayo eyo kunyiileno okuilola Rumi ona.”
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
Paulo nabhatuma Makedonia abheigisibhwa bhae bhabhili, Timotheo na Erasto, abho bhaliga nibhamusakila. Nawe omwene enyele nasigala Asia kwo mwanya.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Omwanya ogwo nibhonekana ijogele Nene eyo Efeso okulubhana na abha injila ilya.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Masika umwi lisina lyae Demetrio, unu akonjele ebhisusano bhya jimpirya bya Diana mungu, aletele ebhona enene kubhabhuya.
25 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
Kwibhyo nabhakumanya abhabhuya bhwe milimu ejo no kwaika, “Bhakulu, mumenyele ati mu mabhona ganu eswe echingisha mpilya nyafu.
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.
Omulola no kungwa ati atalyanwila Efeso, jiswilile Asia yona, Paulo unu kabhakogya no kubhaindula bhanu bhafu. kaikati bhitaliyo bhimungu bhinu ebhikolwa na mabhoko.
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.”
Atali ati ilio itambala amabhona geswe gatakuja kwendibhwa lindi. Nawe ona mu yekalu ya mungu mugasi unu Ali mkulu Diana unu katula okugegwa atali na nsonga. Akatulile nolwo okubhusha obhukulu bhae, omwene oyo Asia ne Chalo echimlamya.”
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
bhejile bongwa ganu mbejusibhwa ne bhinyiga bhabhuma injogele, mbhaika, “Diana wa Bhaefeso Ni mkulu.”
29 The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.
Omusi gwona nguyobhegana, abhanu bhabhilima amwi mwigalagalilo lyo bwenywa. Mbhabhagwata abhalibhasi bhejabho na Paulo, Gayo na Aristariko, bhanu bhasokele Makedonia.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
Paulo aliga nenda okwingila mwiijo lya bhanu, nawe abheigisibhwa bhamuganyishe.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theatre.
Abhakulu abhandi one abha limimbho lya Asia bhanu bhaliga bhali bhasani bhae mbhamusilila emisango ja managa ago kumusabhwa ataja kwingila mwigalagalilo lyo obhwenywa.
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.
Abhanu abhandi bhaliga nibhaika echinu chinu na abhandi omusango gulya, kunsonga liijo lya bhanu lyaliga lyasalile. KU bhafu bhwebhwe bhatatulile kumenya kulwaki bhejie amwi.
33 They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defence to the people.
Abhayaudi nibhamuleta Iskanda anja ya liijo lyabhanu no kumuta imbhele ya bhanu. Iskanda nasosha echibhalikisho kwo kubhoko kwo kusosha amelesho ku bhanu.
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!”
Mbe nawe bhejile bhamenya ati mwenene Ni Muyaudi, bhona nibhayogana kwo bhulaka bhumwi kuti mwanya gwa saa ebhili, Diana Ni mukulu wa Bhaefeso.”
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?
Omwandiki wo musi ejile alijibhisha liijo, naika, “Emwe abhalume abha Efeso, niga unu atakumenya ati Omusi gunu ogwa Efeso gubhikile liyekalu elya Diana mukulu ne chisusano chinu chaguye okusoka mu lwile?
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
Okulola ati emisango jinu jitakutulikana, kuchiile okucholela mtaja kukola Chona chona kwo bhwangu.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Kulwo kubha mubhabhilikie abhanu bhanu Anu mwilamulilo kenu bhatali bhefi bha iyekalu nolwo bhatali bho kumufuma mungu weswe omgasi.
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.
Kulwejo, Alabha Demetrio na bhabhuya bhanu bhali amwi nage bhano musango gunu gutasikene na munu wona wona, lilamulilo lili abhwelu na abhatwale bhalio. Mbe mbhasilwe imbhele bhajo temelwa echina.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Mbe nawe Alabha awe ouiga Chona chona okulubhana ne misngo jindi ejija okufulubhendelwa ne chinyanjo che chimali.
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.”
Nchimali chili mu ntambhala yo kwinganilisibhwa kubhibhi okulubhana na injogele yo lunaku lunu. Italio nsonga yona yona yo bhunyamusi bhunu, na chitakutula kubha no bhutulo bho kugelesha. 41
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Ejile amala okwaika ganu, nanyalambhula elikofyanya.
