Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 19
1 Nibha ati Apollo aliga Ali Korinto, Paulo nalbha ingulu no kukinga mumusi gwa Efeso, nasanga abeigisibwa bhafuo eyo.
And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
2 Paulo nabhabwila “Angu, mwamulamie Mwoyo Mwelu mwejile mukekilisha?” Mbhamubwila, uli”. Chitatulile kumungwa ati alio Mwoyo mwelu.”
He said unto them, Have all of you received the Holy Spirit (pneuma) since all of you believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
3 Paulo aikile,” oli emwe mwabhatijibhe kutiki?” Mbhaika, “mubhubhatijo obhwa Yohana
And he said unto them, Unto what then were all of you baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4 Mbe Paulo nasubhya,”Yohana abatijishe kwo obhubhatijo bho kuta. Nabhabhwila abhanu bhalya ati kubheile okumwikilisha uliya unu endaga okuja inyuma yae, unu Ali Yesu.”
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 Abhanu Bhejile bhwongwa emisango jinu, nibhabhatijibhwa mwisina lya Latabugenyi Yesu.
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 Anu paulo ejile abhatelako amabhoko gae, Mwoyo Mwelu nabhwejila igulu yebhwe no kwambha okwaika kwa jindimi no kubhalikisha.
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit (pneuma) came on them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
7 Obhujumula bhwebhwe bhaliga bhalume bheile ekumi na bhabhili.
And all the men were about twelve.
8 Paulo agendele mulikofyanyisho naika kwo bhubhasi kwo mwanya gwa mesi gasatu. Aliga nabhushanya nabho no kubhamenyesha emisango jinu jilengelee obhukama bha Nyamuanga.
And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
9 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.
But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
10 Linu lyagendelee kwa miaka ebhili, kulwejo bhona bhaliga bhekae mu Asia bhonguywe omusango gwa Latabugenyi, bhona abhayaudi na bhayunani.
And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word (logos) of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11 Nyamuanga aliga nakola bhikolwa bhikulu mu mabhoko ga Paulo,
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
12 nolwo abhalwae, beulisibhe na bhemiyaga mibhibhi (amasambwa) nigasosibhwako, omwanya gunu bhagegele ebhitambhala ne myenda jinu jaliga jisokole ku mubhili gwa Paulo.
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits (pneuma) went out of them.
13 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.”
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits (pneuma) the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.
14 Bhanu bhakolele ganu bhaliga bhalio bhana musanju bho mugabhisi mukulu we chiyaudi, Skewa.
And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
15 Amasambhwa amabhibhi, Ngabhasubhya, “Yesu enimumenya, na Paulo enimumenya; Nawe emwe mulibhaga?”
And the evil spirit (pneuma) answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are all of you?
16 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.
And the man in whom the evil spirit (pneuma) was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 Omusango gunu ngumenyekana ku bhona, ku bhayaudi na abhayunani, bhanu bhaliga bhekae eyo Efeso. Mbhabha no bhubha bhafu, na lisina lya Latabugenyi niliyongesha echibhalo.
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 Nawe abhafu bha bekilisha Bhejile nibhegambha no kwielesha ebhikolwa ebhibhibhi bhinu bhakolele.
And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
19 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.
Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 Kulwejo omusango gwa Latabugenyi niguswila kwo bhafu na managa.
So mightily grew the word (logos) of God and prevailed.
21 Paulo nakumisha obhusakisi bhae eyo Efeso, Mwoyo namutangasha okuja Yerusalemu okulabha Makedonia na Akaya; naika, “Ejile akabhayo eyo kunyiileno okuilola Rumi ona.”
After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, (pneuma) when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
22 Paulo nabhatuma Makedonia abheigisibhwa bhae bhabhili, Timotheo na Erasto, abho bhaliga nibhamusakila. Nawe omwene enyele nasigala Asia kwo mwanya.
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
23 Omwanya ogwo nibhonekana ijogele Nene eyo Efeso okulubhana na abha injila ilya.
And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
24 Masika umwi lisina lyae Demetrio, unu akonjele ebhisusano bhya jimpirya bya Diana mungu, aletele ebhona enene kubhabhuya.
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
25 Kwibhyo nabhakumanya abhabhuya bhwe milimu ejo no kwaika, “Bhakulu, mumenyele ati mu mabhona ganu eswe echingisha mpilya nyafu.
Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, all of you know that by this craft we have our wealth.
26 Omulola no kungwa ati atalyanwila Efeso, jiswilile Asia yona, Paulo unu kabhakogya no kubhaindula bhanu bhafu. kaikati bhitaliyo bhimungu bhinu ebhikolwa na mabhoko.
Moreover all of you see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
27 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.”
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nothing; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.
28 bhejile bongwa ganu mbejusibhwa ne bhinyiga bhabhuma injogele, mbhaika, “Diana wa Bhaefeso Ni mkulu.”
And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
29 Omusi gwona nguyobhegana, abhanu bhabhilima amwi mwigalagalilo lyo bwenywa. Mbhabhagwata abhalibhasi bhejabho na Paulo, Gayo na Aristariko, bhanu bhasokele Makedonia.
And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
30 Paulo aliga nenda okwingila mwiijo lya bhanu, nawe abheigisibhwa bhamuganyishe.
And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
31 Abhakulu abhandi one abha limimbho lya Asia bhanu bhaliga bhali bhasani bhae mbhamusilila emisango ja managa ago kumusabhwa ataja kwingila mwigalagalilo lyo obhwenywa.
And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
32 Abhanu abhandi bhaliga nibhaika echinu chinu na abhandi omusango gulya, kunsonga liijo lya bhanu lyaliga lyasalile. KU bhafu bhwebhwe bhatatulile kumenya kulwaki bhejie amwi.
Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.
33 Abhayaudi nibhamuleta Iskanda anja ya liijo lyabhanu no kumuta imbhele ya bhanu. Iskanda nasosha echibhalikisho kwo kubhoko kwo kusosha amelesho ku bhanu.
And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.
34 Mbe nawe bhejile bhamenya ati mwenene Ni Muyaudi, bhona nibhayogana kwo bhulaka bhumwi kuti mwanya gwa saa ebhili, Diana Ni mukulu wa Bhaefeso.”
But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
35 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?
And when the public clerk had appeased the people, he said, All of you men of Ephesus, what man is there that knows not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
36 Okulola ati emisango jinu jitakutulikana, kuchiile okucholela mtaja kukola Chona chona kwo bhwangu.
Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, all of you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
37 Kulwo kubha mubhabhilikie abhanu bhanu Anu mwilamulilo kenu bhatali bhefi bha iyekalu nolwo bhatali bho kumufuma mungu weswe omgasi.
For all of you have brought here these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
38 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.
Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter (logos) against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them sue one another.
39 Mbe nawe Alabha awe ouiga Chona chona okulubhana ne misngo jindi ejija okufulubhendelwa ne chinyanjo che chimali.
But if all of you enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
40 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
For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account (logos) of this concourse.
41 Ejile amala okwaika ganu, nanyalambhula elikofyanya.
And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
