Orekma 19
1 Ke Apollos el muta Corinth, Paul el fahsr apunla facl ma oan epang, ac tuku nu Ephesus. Ke el sun acn we el osun nu sin kutu mwet lulalfongi
It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
2 ac siyuk selos, “Ku kowos tuh eis Ngun Mutal ke pacl se kowos ekla mwet lulalfongi?” Ac elos topuk, “Kut tiana lohng mu oasr Ngun Mutal.”
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 Ac Paul el sifilpa siyuk selos, “Na baptais fuka kowos eis ah?” Elos topuk nu sel, “Baptais se John el luti kac.”
He said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into Yukhanan's baptism."
4 Na Paul el fahk, “Baptais lal John ma nu selos su auliyak liki ma koluk lalos, ac el oayapa fahk nu sin mwet Israel mu elos in lulalfongi in el su ac tuku tokol — aok, Jesus.”
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 Ke elos lohng ma inge, elos baptaisla inen Leum Jesus.
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Yeshua.
6 Paul el filiya paol faclos; ac Ngun Mutal tuku nu faclos; ac elos kaskas ke pusra ma siena liki kas lalos, ac fahkak kas lun God.
When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Rukha d'Qudsha came on them, and they spoke with other tongues and prophesied.
7 Mwet singoul luo nufon pa ke u sac.
They were about twelve men in all.
8 Paul el utyak nu ke iwen lolngok ac el kaskas pulaikna nu sin mwet uh ke malem tolu. El sramsram ac asiyuki yorolos, ac srike in furokolos in lulalfongi ke Tokosrai lun God.
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 Tusruktu kutu selos arulana upa insialos ac tia lulalfongi, ac ye mutun walil sac elos fahk kas in akkolukye u se pangpang Mwet Fahsr ke Inkanek lun Leum. Ke ma inge Paul el fahsr lukelos ac usla mwet lulalfongi uh welul, ac el lotelos len nukewa ke lohm in tukeni se su ma sel Tyrannus.
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 Ouiya se inge orek ke lusen yac luo, oru mwet nukewa su muta in acn Asia, kewana mwet Jew ac mwet Greek, elos lohng ke kas lun Leum.
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 God El sang ku nu sel Paul in oru mwenmen na usrnguk.
God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 Finne handkerchief ku apron ma pusralla manol Paul, fin utukla nu yurin mwet mas uh, na mas lalos ac wanginla, ac ngun fohkfok uh ac illa lukelos.
so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the evil spirits went out.
13 Kutu mwet Jew ma forfor ac sisla ngun fohkfok elos srike in wi pac orekmakin inen Leum Jesus in oru ma inge. Elos ac fahk nu sin ngun fohkfok, “Nga sapkin nu sum ke inen Jesus su Paul el fahkak kac.”
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 Tamulel itkosr su wen natul Sceva, sie Mwet Tol Fulat lun mwet Jew, pa oru ma inge.
There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
15 Tusruk ngun fohkfok el fahk nu selos, “Nga etal Jesus, ac nga etu pac kacl Paul; a kowos — su kowos an?”
The evil spirit answered, "Yeshua I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?"
16 Mwet se ma ngun fohkfok ah oan sel el sroang nu selos ac ku lukelos. Elos kaingla liki lohm uh, koflufol ac kinkineta.
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 Mwet Jew ac mwet pegan nukewa ma muta Ephesus elos lohng ke ma sikyak inge; ac elos nukewa arulana sangeng, ac inen Leum Jesus akfulatyeyuk yohk liki meet.
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 Pus sin mwet lulalfongi uh tuku, ac sifacna fahkak ma koluk lalos ye mutun mwet uh.
Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.
19 Pus pac sin mwet ma orek inutnut elos orani book natulos nukewa ac esukak in walil uh. Fin sisani molin book inge ac tuh oasr ke ipin silver lumngaul tausin.
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 Ke sripen orekma ku inge nukewa, kas lun Leum uh yokyokelik ac kui.
So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
21 Tukun ma inge, Paul el sulela sel in fahsr sasla Macedonia ac Achaia, na ingo lac nu Jerusalem. Ac el fahk, “Tukun nga ac sun acn inge, nga enenu na in som pac nu Rome.”
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 Ouinge el supwalla Timothy ac Erastus, luo sin mwet kasru lal, nu Macedonia, ac el muta kitin pacl in Asia.
Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
23 In pacl se inge lokoalok na upa sikyak in acn Ephesus ke sripen u se pangpang Mwet Fahsr ke Inkanek lun Leum.
About that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way.
24 Oasr mwet orekma ke silver se pangpang Demetrius, su orek ma sruloala srisrik ke silver ma oana luman tempul lulap lun god mutan Artemis. Mwet orekma lal Demetrius eis mani na yohk ke orekma se inge.
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
25 Na Demetrius el pangoneni mwet nukewa ma wi oru kain in orekma se inge, ac fahk nu selos, “Mwet wiuk in orekma, kowos etu lah kasrpasr tuku ke orekma se lasr inge.
whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, "Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
26 Kowos sifacna liye ac lohng ma mwet se inge Paul el oru. El fahk mu god ma orekla sin mwet uh tiana god pwaye, ac el oru mwet puspis in acn Ephesus, ac apkuran in acn Asia nufon, in lulalfongi ma el fahk uh.
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 Sensen lasr uh pa mwet uh ac orala kas in akkolukyela orekma lasr uh. Ac tia ma sacn mukena, a kut sensen pac mu tempul lun god mutan Artemis ac wanginla kalmac, ac mwet uh ac fah tia sifil akfulatyal — god mutan se su mwet in acn Asia ac faclu nufon alu nu se uh!”
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 Ke u sac lohng kas inge, elos arulana kasrkusrakak, ac wowo fahk, “Artemis lun Ephesus el fulatlana!”
When they heard this they were filled with anger, and began to shout, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
29 Fohsak se inge fahsrelik in siti sac nufon. U sac sruokilya Gaius ac Aristarchus, mwet Macedonia luo su welul Paul forfor, ac usaltalla nu nien intoe srital lulap ke siti uh.
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 Paul sifacna el ke som ac sramsram nu sin u lulap sac, tuh mwet lulalfongi elos tia lela.
When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples did not allow him.
31 Kutu sin mwet fulat lun acn we, su mwet kawuk lal, supwala pac sap soko nu sel ac kwafe elan tia som nu nien intoe srital ah.
And also some of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to venture into the theater.
32 In pacl sac tukeni sac arulana fohsak: kutu mwet wowo ke siena ma, ac kutu ke sie pacna, ac pusiyen mwet uh tia etu sripen toeni lalos.
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 Kutu mwet uh nunku mu Alexander pa sripauk, mweyen mwet Jew uh pahtkolak elan tu meet. Na Alexander el kolak paol nu sin mwet uh in akmisyelos, ac el srike in aketeya nu selos ma orek uh.
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 Tuh ke elos akilenak lah el sie mwet Jew, elos nukewa tukeni wowoyak ke lusen ao luo, ac fahk, “Artemis lun Ephesus el fulatlana!”
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 Na mwet sim lun siti uh el akmisyela u sac, ac fahk, “Mwet Ephesus, mwet nukewa etu lah siti lun Ephesus pa liyaung tempul lun Artemis fulatlana, ac oayapa eot saok se ma putatla inkusrao me uh.
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 Wangin mwet ku in lafwekin ma inge. Ouinge kowos in misla, ac tia oru kutena ouiya lalfon.
Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.
37 Kowos use mwet inge nu inge, a wangin ma elos pisre in tempul, ku fahk kas koluk ke god mutan lasr uh.
For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
38 Fin oasr mwe tukak lal Demetrius ac mwet orekma lal uh lain kutena mwet, na oasr mwet fulat lasr, ac oasr pac len in nununku. Elos ku in oru tukak lalos we.
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 A fin oasr pac ma yohk liki ma kowos suk, enenu in aksuwosyeyuk ke meeting lun mwet fulat lun siti uh, fal nu ke ma sap lasr.
But if you seek anything further, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
40 Tukun ma sikyak misenge uh, oasr sensen lasr lah mwet uh ac fahk mu kut pa purakak wowon sac. Ke wangin sripa ma sramtauk fohs sac, oru wangin sripa wo ma kut ac ku in fahk kac.”
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 Tukun el fahk ma inge, el folokonelik u sac.
When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
