Actuum Apostolorum 19
1 Factum est autem, cum Apollo esset Corinthi, ut Paulus peragratis superioribus partibus veniret Ephesum, et inveniret quosdam de discipulis:
AND while Apolu was in Kurinthos, Paulos itinerated through the upper countries unto Ephesos; and he asked those disciples whom he found there,
2 dixitque ad eos: Si Spiritum sanctum accepistis credentes? At illi dixerunt ad eum: Sed neque si Spiritus sanctus est, audivimus.
Have you received the Spirit of Holiness from that you believed? They answered and said to him, It hath not been heard by us whether there be the Spirit.
3 Ille vero ait: In quo ergo baptizati estis? Qui dixerunt: In Ioannis baptismate.
He saith to them, And into what were you baptized? They said, Into the baptism of Juhanon.
4 Dixit autem Paulus: Ioannes baptizavit baptismo poenitentiae populum, dicens: In eum, qui venturus esset post ipsum, ut crederent, hoc est, in Iesum.
Paulos saith to them, Juhanon baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying that they should believe in him who was coming after him, who is Jeshu Meshiha.
5 His auditis, baptizati sunt in nomine Domini Iesu.
And when they heard these (words), they were baptized in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
6 Et cum imposuisset illis manus Paulus, venit Spiritus sanctus super eos, et loquebantur linguis, et prophetabant.
And Paulos laid on them the hand, and the Spirit of Holiness came upon them, and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7 Erant autem omnes viri fere duodecim.
But all the men were twelve.
8 Introgressus autem synagogam, cum fiducia loquebatur per tres menses, disputans, et suadens de regno Dei.
And Paulos entered the synagogue, and discoursed boldly three months, and persuaded concerning the kingdom of Aloha.
9 Cum autem quidam indurarentur, et non crederent, maledicentes viam Domini coram multitudine, discedens ab eis, segregavit discipulos, quotidie disputans in schola tyranni cuiusdam.
And men of them were obdurate, and contended, and reviled the way of Aloha, before the assembly of the people. Then Paulos removed and separated from them the disciples, and every day discoursed with them in the school of a man whose name was Tyranos.
10 Hoc autem factum est per biennium, ita ut omnes, qui habitabant in Asia, audirent verbum Domini, Iudaei atque Gentiles.
And this was done two years, until all who dwelt in Asia, Jihudoyee and Aramoyee, had heard the word of the Lord.
11 Virtutesque non modicas quaslibet faciebat Deus per manum Pauli:
And great power-works wrought Aloha by the hand of Paulos;
12 ita ut etiam super languidos deferrentur a corpore eius sudaria, et semicinctia, et recedebant ab eis languores, et spiritus nequam egrediebantur.
so that they brought even from the garments that were upon his body napkins or wrappings, and laid them upon the sick, and the diseases went from them; and demons also went forth.
13 Tentaverunt autem quidam et de circumeuntibus Iudaeis exorcistis, invocare super eos, qui habebant spiritus malos, nomen Domini Iesu, dicentes: Adiuro vos per Iesum, quem Paulus praedicat.
BUT men, Jihudoyee, also, who went about and adjured demons, willed to adjure in the name of our Lord Jeshu over those who had unclean spirits, saying, We adjure you in the name of Jeshu whom Paulos preacheth.
14 Erant autem cuiusdam Iudaei nomine Scevae principis sacerdotum septem filii, qui hoc faciebant.
There were seven sons of a man, a certain Jihudoya, chief of the priests, whose name was Skeva, who did this.
15 Respondens autem spiritus nequam dixit eis: Iesum novi, et Paulum scio: vos autem qui estis?
And that evil demon answered and said to them, Jeshu I acknowledge, and Paulos I know; but who are you?
16 Et insiliens in eos homo, in quo erat daemonium pessimum, et dominatus amborum, invaluit contra eos, ita ut nudi, et vulnerati effugerent de domo illa.
And the man in whom was the evil spirit sprang upon them, and was strong against them, and threw them, and they, naked and wounded, fled from that house.
17 Hoc autem notum factum est omnibus Iudaeis, atque Gentilibus, qui habitabant Ephesi: et cecidit timor super omnes illos, et magnificabatur nomen Domini Iesu.
And this was known to all the Jihudoyee and Aramoyee who dwelt in Ephesos: and fear fell upon them all, and the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha was exalted.
18 Multique credentium veniebant, confitentes, et annunciantes actus suos.
And many of those who believed came and acknowledged their sins, and confessed whatever they had done.
19 Multi autem ex eis, qui fuerant curiosa sectati, contulerunt libros, et combusserunt eos coram omnibus: et computatis pretiis illorum, invenerunt pecuniam denariorum quinquaginta millium.
Many also of the magicians collected their writings and brought and burned them before all men; and they reckoned the price of them, and it ascended to silver five myriads.
20 Ita fortiter crescebat verbum Dei, et confirmabatur.
And thus with great power prevailed and increased the faith of Aloha.
21 His autem expletis, proposuit Paulus in Spiritu, transita Macedonia et Achaia ire Ierosolymam, dicens: quoniam postquam fuero ibi, oportet me et Romam videre.
But when these were fulfilled, Paulos set in his mind to itinerate throughout all Makedunia and Akaia, and to go into Urishlem. And he said, When I shall have gone thither, it behoveth me Ruma also to see.
22 Mittens autem in Macedoniam duos ex ministrantibus sibi, Timotheum, et Erastum, ipse remansit ad tempus in Asia.
And he sent two men of those who ministered to him to Makedunia, Timotheos and Aristos; but he remained a time in Asia.
23 Facta est autem illo tempore turbatio non minima de via Domini.
BUT there was made at that time a great tumult on account of the way of Aloha.
24 Demetrius enim quidam nomine, argentarius, faciens aedes argenteas Dianae, praestabat artificibus non modicum quaestum:
For there was a certain worker of silver there whose name was Dimitrios, who made shrines of silver of Artemis, and he produced for the sons of his art great gains.
25 quos convocans, et eos, qui huiusmodi erant opifices, dixit: Viri, scitis quia de hoc artificio est nobis acquisitio:
This (man) assembled all the sons of his art and those who wrought with them, and said to them, Men, you know that all our merchandise is from this work;
26 et videtis, et auditis quia non solum Ephesi, sed pene totius Asiae, Paulus hic suadens avertit multam turbam, dicens: Quoniam non sunt dii, qui manibus fiunt.
and you also hear and see, that not only the sons of Ephesos, but also many of all Asia, this Paulos persuadeth, and hath perverted them, saying, that there be no gods which by the hands of men are made.
27 Non solum autem haec periclitabitur nobis pars in redargutionem venire, sed et magnae Dianae templum in nihilum reputabitur, sed et destrui incipiet maiestas eius, quam tota Asia, et orbis colit.
And not only is this business defamed and brought to an end, but also the temple of Artemis the great goddess is reputed as nothing, and she also, the goddess of all Asia, and (whom) all the nations worship, is despised.
28 His auditis, repleti sunt ira, et exclamaverunt dicentes: Magna Diana Ephesiorum.
And when they heard these (words) they were filled with wrath; and they cried, and said, Great is Artemis of the Ephesoyee.
29 Et impleta est civitas confusione, et impetum fecerunt uno animo in theatrum, rapto Gaio, et Aristarcho Macedonibus, comitibus Pauli.
And the whole city was perturbed, and they ran together and came to the theatre; and seizing, they led with them Gaios and Aristarkos, men of Makedunia, companions of Paulos.
30 Paulo autem volente intrare in populum, non permiserunt discipuli.
AND Paulos willed to enter the theatre, and the disciples restrained him.
31 Quidam autem et de Asiae principibus, qui erant amici eius, miserunt ad eum rogantes ne se darent in theatrum:
And the chiefs of Asia, because they were his friends, sent, praying of him not to deliver himself by going into the theatre.
32 alii autem aliud clamabant. Erat enim Ecclesia confusa: et plures nesciebant qua ex causa convenissent.
But the crowd who were in the theatre were greatly commoved, and others cried other things; for many of them knew not on what account they were assembled.
33 De turba autem detraxerunt Alexandrum, propellentibus eum Iudaeis. Alexander autem manu silentio postulato, volebat reddere rationem populo.
But the people of the Jihudoyee who were there appointed of them a man a Jihudoya, whose name was Aleksandros; and when he stood (forth) he signed that he would apologize to the people.
34 Quem ut cognoverunt Iudaeum esse, vox facta una est omnium, quasi per horas duas clamantium: Magna Diana Ephesiorum.
And when they knew that he was a Jihudoya, all of them cried with one voice, as two hours, Great is Artemis of the Ephesoyee!
35 Et cum sedasset scriba turbas, dixit: Viri Ephesii, quis enim est hominum, qui nesciat Ephesiorum civitatem cultricem esse magnae Dianae, Iovisque prolis?
And the chief of the city stilled them, saying, Men, Ephesoyee, who is there of mankind who knoweth not that the city of the Ephesoyee is a votaress of the great Artemis, and of her image which descended from heaven?
36 Cum ergo his contradici non possit, oportet vos sedatos esse, et nihil temere agere.
Therefore, since no man can contradict this, it behoves you to be silent, and to do nothing in haste.
37 Adduxistis enim homines istos, neque sacrilegos, neque blasphemantes deam vestram.
Yet have you brought these men who have neither spoiled temples nor blasphemed our goddess.
38 Quod si Demetrius, et qui cum eo sunt artifices, habent adversus aliquem causam, conventus forenses aguntur, et proconsules sunt, accusent invicem.
But if this Dimitrios and the sons of his craft have strife with any man, behold, the proconsul is in the city, (and) there are officers: let them go nigh and judge one with another.
39 Si quid autem alterius rei quaeritis: in legitima Ecclesia poterit absolvi.
And if you require other (procedure), in the place which is given by the law for an assembly it shall be resolved.
40 Nam et periclitamur argui seditionis hodiernae: cum nullus obnoxius sit (de quo possimus reddere rationem) concursus istius.
For now also are we standing in peril of being accused as disturbers, because we cannot make excuse for the concourse of this day, inasmuch as we have met uselessly, and have made a tumult without cause.
41 Et cum haec dixisset, dimisit Ecclesiam.
And when these he had said, he dissolved the assembly.
