Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 19
1 Nibha ati Apollo aliga Ali Korinto, Paulo nalbha ingulu no kukinga mumusi gwa Efeso, nasanga abeigisibwa bhafuo eyo.
It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
2 Paulo nabhabwila “Angu, mwamulamie Mwoyo Mwelu mwejile mukekilisha?” Mbhamubwila, uli”. Chitatulile kumungwa ati alio Mwoyo mwelu.”
He said to them, "Did you receive the Rukha d'Qudsha when you believed?" They said to him, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Rukha d'Qudsha."
3 Paulo aikile,” oli emwe mwabhatijibhe kutiki?” Mbhaika, “mubhubhatijo obhwa Yohana
He said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into Yukhanan'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.”
Paul said, "Yukhanan 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 Yeshua."
5 Abhanu Bhejile bhwongwa emisango jinu, nibhabhatijibhwa mwisina lya Latabugenyi Yesu.
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Yeshua.
6 Anu paulo ejile abhatelako amabhoko gae, Mwoyo Mwelu nabhwejila igulu yebhwe no kwambha okwaika kwa jindimi no kubhalikisha.
When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Rukha d'Qudsha came on them, and they spoke with other tongues and prophesied.
7 Obhujumula bhwebhwe bhaliga bhalume bheile ekumi na bhabhili.
They were about twelve men in all.
8 Paulo agendele mulikofyanyisho naika kwo bhubhasi kwo mwanya gwa mesi gasatu. Aliga nabhushanya nabho no kubhamenyesha emisango jinu jilengelee obhukama bha Nyamuanga.
He entered into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about 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 some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the crowd, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
10 Linu lyagendelee kwa miaka ebhili, kulwejo bhona bhaliga bhekae mu Asia bhonguywe omusango gwa Latabugenyi, bhona abhayaudi na bhayunani.
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 Nyamuanga aliga nakola bhikolwa bhikulu mu mabhoko ga Paulo,
God worked 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 even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the evil spirits went out.
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.”
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, "I adjure you by Yeshua whom Paul preaches."
14 Bhanu bhakolele ganu bhaliga bhalio bhana musanju bho mugabhisi mukulu we chiyaudi, Skewa.
There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
15 Amasambhwa amabhibhi, Ngabhasubhya, “Yesu enimumenya, na Paulo enimumenya; Nawe emwe mulibhaga?”
The evil spirit answered, "Yeshua I know, and Paul I know, but who are 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 was, having leapt on them, having overpowered them all, prevailed against them so that they fled from 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.
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 Nawe abhafu bha bekilisha Bhejile nibhegambha no kwielesha ebhikolwa ebhibhibhi bhinu bhakolele.
Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring 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 those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 Kulwejo omusango gwa Latabugenyi niguswila kwo bhafu na managa.
So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
21 Paulo nakumisha obhusakisi bhae eyo Efeso, Mwoyo namutangasha okuja Yerusalemu okulabha Makedonia na Akaya; naika, “Ejile akabhayo eyo kunyiileno okuilola Rumi ona.”
Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Urishlim, 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.
Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
23 Omwanya ogwo nibhonekana ijogele Nene eyo Efeso okulubhana na abha injila ilya.
About that time there arose no small stir concerning the 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, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
25 Kwibhyo nabhakumanya abhabhuya bhwe milimu ejo no kwaika, “Bhakulu, mumenyele ati mu mabhona ganu eswe echingisha mpilya nyafu.
whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, "Sirs, you know that by this business 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.
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 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.”
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 that she should even be deposed from her magnificence, whom all Asia and the world worships."
28 bhejile bongwa ganu mbejusibhwa ne bhinyiga bhabhuma injogele, mbhaika, “Diana wa Bhaefeso Ni mkulu.”
When they heard this they were filled with anger, and began to shout, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
29 Omusi gwona nguyobhegana, abhanu bhabhilima amwi mwigalagalilo lyo bwenywa. Mbhabhagwata abhalibhasi bhejabho na Paulo, Gayo na Aristariko, bhanu bhasokele Makedonia.
The city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's companions in travel.
30 Paulo aliga nenda okwingila mwiijo lya bhanu, nawe abheigisibhwa bhamuganyishe.
When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples did not allow him.
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 also some of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to venture into the theater.
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 shouted one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them did not know why they had 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.
They brought Alexandros out of the crowd, the Jews putting him forward. Alexandros beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to 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 perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours shouted, "Great is Artemis 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?
When the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "You men of Ephesus, is there anyone who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
36 Okulola ati emisango jinu jitakutulikana, kuchiile okucholela mtaja kukola Chona chona kwo bhwangu.
Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.
37 Kulwo kubha mubhabhilikie abhanu bhanu Anu mwilamulilo kenu bhatali bhefi bha iyekalu nolwo bhatali bho kumufuma mungu weswe omgasi.
For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our 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.
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 Mbe nawe Alabha awe ouiga Chona chona okulubhana ne misngo jindi ejija okufulubhendelwa ne chinyanjo che chimali.
But if you seek anything further, it will be settled in the regular 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 indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning this day's riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we would not be able to give an account of this commotion."
41 Ejile amala okwaika ganu, nanyalambhula elikofyanya.
When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
