Dagiti Aramid 19
1 Napasamak a kabayatan nga adda ni Apollos idiay Corinto, nagna ni Pablo iti makinngato a pagilian ket dimteng iti siudad ti Efeso, ken nakasarak sadiay iti sumagmamano nga adalan.
While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
2 Kinuna ni Pablo kadakuada “Inawatyo kadin ti Espiritu Santo idi namatikayo?” Kinunada kenkuana, “Saan, saanminto pay a nangnangngegan ti maipanggep iti Espiritu Santo.”
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.”
3 Kinuna ni Pablo, “Iti ania ngarud ti nakabautisaranyo?” Kinunada, “Iti bautisar ni Juan.”
He said, “Into what then were you immersed?” They said, “Into Yochanan’s immersion.”
4 Isu a simmungbat ni Pablo, “Nangbautisar ni Juan babaen iti bautismo ti panagbabawi. Imbagana kadagiti tattao a masapul a mamatida iti umay kalpasan kenkuana, dayta ket ni Jesus.”
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.”
5 Idi nangngegan dagiti tattao daytoy, nabautisaranda iti nagan ni Apo Jesus.
When they heard this, they were immersed in the name of the Lord Yeshua.
6 Ket idi impatay ni Pablo dagiti imana kadakuada, immay ti Espiritu Santo kadakuada ket nagsaoda iti sabali a pagsasao ken nagipadtoda.
When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
7 Agarup sangapulo ket dua da amin a lallaki.
They were about twelve men in all.
8 Napan ni Pablo iti sinagoga ken situtured isuna a nagsao iti las-ud iti tallo a bulan. Indauloanna ti panagiinnadal ken inal-allukoyna dagiti tattao maipanggep kadagiti banbanag a maipapan iti pagarian ti Dios.
He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.
9 Ngem idi dagiti dadduma a Judio ket timmangken ken saanda a nagtulnog, nangrugida a nagsao iti dakes maipanggep iti dalan ni Cristo iti sangoanan dagiti adu a tattao. Ngarud, pinanawan ida ni Pablo ken inyadayona dagiti namati manipud kadakuada. Inrugina ti nagsarita iti inaldaw idiay pagisursuroan ni Tirano.
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.
10 Nagtultuloy daytoy iti las-ud ti dua a tawen, isu nga amin nga agnanaed idiay Asia ket nangngeganda ti sao ti Apo, dagiti Judio ken dagiti Griego.
This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Yeshua, both Jews and Greeks.
11 Nagaramid ti Dios kadagiti agkakabileg nga aramid babaen kadagiti ima ni Pablo,
God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 isu nga uray dagiti masaksakit ket napaimbag, ken rimmuar dagiti dakes nga espiritu kadagiti naluganan, idi innalada dagiti panio ken dagiti biddang manipud iti bagi ni Pablo.
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.
13 Ngem adda met dagiti Judio, a mangpakpaksiat kadagiti dakes nga espiritu, a nagdaldaliasat iti dayta a disso a nangar-aramat iti nagan ni Jesus para iti bukodda a pagsayaatan. Insaoda daytoy kadagiti addaan kadagiti dakes nga espiritu; kinunada, “Bilinenka a pumanaw babaen kenni Jesus nga ikaskasaba ni Pablo. “
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.”
14 Dagidiay a nangaramid iti daytoy ket dagiti pito nga annak a lallaki ti panguloen a padi a Judio, a ni Sceva.
There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
15 Simmungbat ti dakes nga espiritu kadakuada, “Am-ammok ni Jesus, am-ammok ni Pablo; ngem siasinokayo?”
The evil spirit answered, “Yeshua I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
16 Limmagto ti lalaki a linuganan iti dakes nga espiritu kadagiti mangpakpaksiat iti dakes nga espiritu ket inabakna ida ken kinabilna ida. Ket lamo-lamo ken sugat-sugatda a pimmanaw iti dayta a balay.
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.
17 Naammoan iti isu amin daytoy, dagiti Judio ken Griego, nga agnanaed idiay Efeso. Kasta unay ti butengda, ket napadayawan ti nagan ni Apo Jesus.
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.
18 Kasta met nga adu kadagiti namati ti immay ket impudnoda ken binigbigda dagiti dakes a banbanag nga inaramidda.
Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
19 Adu kadagiti salamangkero ti nangurnong kadagiti libroda ken pinuoranda dagitoy iti imatang ti tumunggal maysa. Idi binilangda ti balor dagitoy, limapulo a ribu a piraso iti pirak.
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.
20 Isu a nagwaras ti sao ti Apo iti nabileg a wagas.
So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
21 Ita, idi nalpasen ni Pablo ti ministeryona idiay Efeso, inkeddengna iti Espiritu a lasatenna ti Macedonia ken Acaya iti dalanna a mapan idiay Jerusalem; kinunana, “Kalpasan ti panaggapuk sadiay, masapul a kitaek met ti Roma.”
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.”
22 Nangibaon ni Pablo idiay Macedonia iti dua kadagiti adalanna, da Timoteo ken Erasto, a timmulong kenkuana. Ngem nagtalinaed pay laeng isuna idiay Asia.
Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
23 Iti dayta met laeng a tiempo, adda timmaud a dakkel a riribuk idiay Efeso maipapan iti Dalan.
About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
24 Maysa nga agpanpanday iti pirak a managan Demetrio, a nangaramid kadagiti kalanglanga ti didiosen a ni Diana babaen iti pirak, ket nangiyeg iti adu a panggedan para kadagiti agpanpanday.
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
25 Isu nga inurnongna dagiti trabahador iti dayta a trabaho, ket kinunana, “Kakadua, ammoyo a makateggedtayo iti adu a kuarta iti daytoy a panggedan.
whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
26 Makitayo ken mangngegyo a saan laeng nga idiay Efeso, ngem nganngani nga iti entero ti Asia, nga inallukoy ken pinatallikud ni Pablo dagiti adu a tattao. Ibagbagana nga awan ti dios a naaramid babaen kadagiti im-ima.
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.
27 Ken saan laeng a ti pagsapulantayo ti agpeggad a saanton a masapul, ngem kasta met a ti templo ti naindaklan a diosa a ni Diana ket maibilangton nga awan serserbina. Ket mapukawnanto uray pay ti kinatan-okna, isuna a daydayawen iti amin nga Asia ken iti sangalubongan.”
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.”
28 Idi nangngeganda daytoy, napnoanda iti pungtot ket nagririyawda, a kunada, “Naindaklan ni Diana a daydayawen dagiti tattao iti Efeso.”
When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
29 Napnoan iti pannakariribuk ti entero a siudad, ket nagdardaras dagiti tattao a sangsangkamaysa a napan iti pagbuyaan. Tiniliwda dagiti kakadua ni Pablo iti panagdaliasatna, ni Gayo ken ni Aristarco, a naggapu idiay Macedonia.
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.
30 Kayat ni Pablo a sumrek iti ayan dagiti adu a tattao, ngem linapdan isuna dagiti adalan.
When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
31 Kasta met a dadduma kadagiti opisial ti probinsiya ti Asia a gagayyemna ket nangipatulod iti mensahe a mangibagbaga a saan koma isuna a sumrek iti pagbuyaan.
Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theatre.
32 Dadduma a tattao ket nagpukkaw iti maysa a banag, ken dadduma met ket sabali, ta dagiti adu a tattao ket marirriribokan. Kaaduan kadakuada ket saanda nga ammo no apay a naummongda.
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.
33 Inruar dagiti Judio ni Alejandro ken impanda iti sangoanan dagiti tattao. Nagsenyas ni Alejandro babaen iti imana tapno agpalawag kadagiti tattao.
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.
34 Ngem idi naamirisda nga isuna ket maysa a Judio, inriyawda amin a sangsangkamaysa iti las-ud ti dua nga oras, “Naindaklan ni Diana dagiti tattao ti Efeso.”
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!”
35 Idi pinatalna ti sekretario ti ili dagiti adu a tattao, kinunana, “Dakayo a lallaki iti Efeso, adda kadi lalaki ditoy a saan a makaammo a ti siudad dagiti tattao ti Efeso ket banbantayanna ti templo ti natan-ok a Diana ken ti kalanglangana a natinnag manipud langit?
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?
36 Kas nakitayo ngarud a dagitoy a banbanag ket saan a mailibak, rebbengna laeng koma nga agulimekkayo ken saankayo nga agaramid iti saan a nasayaat.
Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
37 Ta inyegyo dagitoy a lallaki ditoy a pangukoman, ket saanda met nga agtatakaw kadagiti templo wenno mannagtabbaaw iti diostayo.
For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
38 Ngarud, no ni Demetrio ken dagiti agtrabtrabaho a kaduana ket addaan ti pammabasol a maibusor iti siasinoman, dagiti pangukoman ket silulukat ken adda met dagiti 'ukom.' Bay-anyo nga agpipinnabasolda.
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.
39 Ngem no maipanggep iti sabali pay a banbanag ti sapsapulenyo, masapul nga maurnos a dagus iti kadawyan a panaguummong.
But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
40 Ta pudno unay nga agpeggadtayo a mapabasol maipapan ti riribuk a napasamak iti daytoy nga aldaw. Awan ti makagapu iti daytoy a riribuk, ken saanmi a kabaelan nga ilawlawag daytoy.”
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.”
41 Idi naibagana daytoy, pinagawidna dagiti naummong.
When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
