2 Bulus a hla bawu ndi, “Bi kpa Ruhu tsatsra niwa bi kpanyime a?” Ba sa niwu ndi, “aan, kina wo nitu Ruhu Tsatsra mena.

And he sayd vnto them: wher wt were ye then baptised? And they sayd: with Iohns baptim
4 Niki Bulus a sa ndi, “Yohana a ti batisma wu k'ma sron sran. A hla ni ndji ba ndi du ba kpanyime ni wa ani ye ka huu, wa a hi Yesu.”

6 Niki, wa Bulus a sawo nitu mba, Ruhu Tsatsra a ku nitu mba, nda duba tre ni lan bari nda bwu tre wu ko shishi si bla.
And Paul layde his hondes apon them and the holy gost came on them and they spake with tonges and prophesied

And he went into the synagoge and behaved him selfe boldely for the space of thre monethes disputynge and gevynge them exhortacions of the kyngdome of God.
9 E niwa Yahudawa bari ba lo sron zi gbangban nda kamba ni shishi kpaa ndji ba. Niki Bulus a kaa ba don nda chu mriko bari hu nji ni kpama, nda ka vu bla siya ba baa ni ba ni tra wu zontu bi u Tyrannus.
When dyvers wexed harde herted and beleved not but spake evyll of the waye and that before the multitude: he departed from them and seperated the disciples. And disputed dayly in ye scole of one called Tyranus.
10 A si he toki ka tsra se ha, nitu ki wawu mba wa ba kii ni Asia, ba wo lan tre Bachi, ni Yahudawa baba Greek ba.
And this contynued by the space of two yeares: so yt all they which dwelt in Asia hearde the worde of the lorde Iesu bothe Iewes and Grekes.
11 Irji a sia ti kikle kpi wa bana ri he wu toh ni son mba, ni wo Bulus.
And god wrought no small miracles by the hondes of Paul:
12 Nitu kii, ngbanjan nklon wu wo mba nklon wu kaa nne wa ana sa wo ni wu ba ban ba ka nubi lilo, i lilo mba a bwa hi don ba e brji ba ba rju don kpamba.
so that from his body were brought vnto the sicke napkyns or partlettes and the diseases departed from the and the evyll spretes went out of them.
13 E Yahudawa bi zu brji rju ni kpa ndji bari ba sia zren zu ni ngbran kima. Ba yo nde BAchi Yesu ni du nuba gbengblen nitu meme brji niwa ba tre ndi, “Ni nde Yesu wa Bulus a dbu hla, mi mha yiyo, rju yi.”
Then certayne of the vagabounde Iewes exorcistes toke apon them to call over them which had evyll spretes the name of the lorde Iesus sayinge: We adiure you by Iesu who Paul preacheth.
14 Ninkon Prist wu Yahudawa, wa ndema ana Sceva, a he ni mri tangban wa basia ti toyi.
And ther were seven sonnes of one Sceva a Iewe and chefe of the prestes which dyd so.
15 Meme brji a sa bawu ndi, “Yesu mi to, mba Bulus mi to, i wu hi nha?”
And the evyll sprete answered and sayde: Iesus I knowe and Paul I knowe: but who are ye?
16 Meme brji ni mi igu; a a doo lu hon nitu bi zu brji rju'a nda zan ba ni gbengble, nda hloba tsi. Mle ba yotsu rju ni ko'a ni ngbre mba ni nkpan kpa.
And ye man in who the evyll sprete was ranne on the and overcame the and prevayled agaynst them so that they fledde out of that housse naked and wouded.
17 Ikpe yi a ri ton ndji wawu, Yahudawa baba Greeks, wa ba ki ni Ephesus. Sissri a vu ba, u nde Bachi Yesu a nzu hon.
And this was knowen to all ye Iewes and Grekes also which dwelt at Ephesus and feare came on them all and they magnified the name of ye lorde Iesus.
18 Niki ngame, gbugbu biwa ba kpanyime'a, ba rju ye nran nda vu bla meme kpi wa bana ti yea.
And many yt beleved came and confessed and shewed their workes.
19 Gbugbu biwa bata ti gbugblu ba ni vunvu mba rju ye sru ni buburi nda goon ba ni shishi ko nha. Niwa ba bla nklen kpi ba, ana dubu se ton wu whlo azurfa.
Many of the which vsed curious craftes brought their bokes and burned the before all men and they counted the price of the and foude it fifty thousande silverlynges.

So myghtely grewe ye worde of god and prevayled.
21 Zizan, hu gon wa Bulus a kle ndu ma ni Ephesus, a yo sron, hu ni gbron Ruhu, nda zren zu ni Macedonia mba Achaia ni nkon ma wu hi ni Urushelima; a tre nde, “Mita ka ri niki, mi hi to Rome ngame.”
After these thinges were ended Paul purposed in the sprete to passe over Macedonia and Achaia and to goo to Ierusalem saying: After I have bene there I must also se Rome.
22 Bulus a ton hi ni Macedonia, ha nimi biwa ba ti ndu niwu, Timoti mba Erastus. E wawu kima a son zu wu ton fii ni Asia.
So sent he into Macedonia two of the that ministred vnto him Timotheus and Erastus: but he him selfe remayned in Asia for a season.
23 Mla tsra ni ton kima, iya wa ana fiime na a lu ni Ephesus nitu nko'a.
The same tyme ther arose no lytell a do aboute that waye.
24 Ndji wu la azurfa ri ni nde Demetius, wa ata la gunki u Artemis ni azurfa, nda ta nji ndu nklen gbugbu ye ni bi laaba.
For a certayne man named Demetrius a silvermyth which made silver schrynes for Diana was not a lytell beneficiall vnto the craftes men.
25 Niki a yo bi ndu kima zi nda tre ndi, “Indji mbu, bito ndi ninkon du mbuyi, nklen ni ri bran.
Which he called to geder with the worke men of lyke occupacion and sayd: Syrs ye knowe that by this crafte we have vauntage.
26 Bi to ndi ni wo ndi, ana ni Ephesus megen na, hu mla ngban gbungblu Asia wawu, Bulus yi, a kma sron ndji gbugbu sran. Ani bla ndi mri irji wa iwo ndji ba laa ba na Irji na.
Moreover ye se and heare that not alone at Ephesus but almost thorowe oute all Asia this Paul hath persuaded and turned awaye moche people saying yt they be not goddes which are made wt hondes.
27 Ana nitu andi kikle iya wa a ni du ndu mbu kle na, iko kikle irji wu artemis me ni rjoku ni nzohonma ngame. Niki, gbengblen Artemis ani grji, wawu wa Asia mba gbungblu meme wawu ba kukru ni nzuhon.”
So that not only this oure crafte cometh into parell to be set at nought: but also that ye temple of ye greate goddas Diana shuld be despysed and her magnificence shuld be destroyed which all Asia and the worlde worshippeth.
28 Niwa ba wo toki, ndu a shu sron mba, eba kpa gro ndani tre ndi, “Kikle Artemis wu Ephesus.”
When they hearde these sayinges they were full of wrathe and cryed out saying: Greate is Diana of the Ephesians.
29 Kikle gbu'a wawu a tsi shishi, e ndji ba wawu ba vra tsu ni sron ri hi ni ko wu son mba (theatre). Bana vu kpukpan bi zren Bulus ye, Gaius mba Aristarchus, wa ba ye rhini Macedonia.
And all the cite was on a roore and they russhed in to the comen hall with one assent and caught Gayus and Aristarcus men of Macedonia Pauls companios.
30 Bulus a ta son ri nimi kpaa ndji ba, e mri ko ba ba zuu.
When Paul wolde have entred in vnto the people ye disciples suffered him not.
31 Ngame, bari wa bana bi ninkon du ni ngrji Asia, wa bana kpanma, ba tondu hi wu ni bre ni duna ri ni tra son (theatre) na.

32 Ndji bari ba sia ti gro kperi, e bari ikpe nkan, nitu tsi shishi a vu kpaa ndji ba. Gbugbu mba bana to ka a hi ngye si zren nda duba ye zontu ki na.
Some cryed one thinge and some another and the congregacion was all out of quiet and ye moare parte knewe not wherfore they were come togeder.
33 Bari ni kpaa mba ba nron Alexanda, wa Yahudawa ba ba tru yo ni shishi, niki Alexanda a ti ba niwo, nitu a ta son yo tre wu ya ni soon mba.

When the toune clarcke had ceased the people he sayd: ye men of Ephesus what man is it that knoweth not how that the cite of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddas Diana and of ye ymage which came fro heven.
36 Bita to ndi kpi biyi bana wu kpa tron na, bika ti wiime ni na kpati vravra mena.

37 Nitu bi nji ndji biyi ye ni shishi ko gaa tre, ana ndji ba bi y'bi iko bre mbi ka bi kpa nde mri Irji mbi ti meme na.
For ye have brought hyther these me whiche are nether robbers of churches nor yet despisers of youre goddes.
38 Nitu ki, Dimetrius baba bi ndu la wa ba he niwu'a ba he ni tre wu lo nitu ndrjo, tra wu gaa tre a he ni who mba bi wa bawoba nda gaatre'a. Du ba tsra kpa mba.
Wherfore yf Demetrius and the craftes men which are wt him have eny sayinge to eny man the lawe is open and ther are ruelars let the accuse one another.
39 Bita ni wato kpe nkan, kima ki vu ya ni son yi ni mla ti.
Yf ye goo about eny other thinge it maye be determined in a lawfull cogregacion
40 A hi njanji ki he ni ya wu lo bata vuta nitu kma gbu srantu wu vi luwa. Kina he ni kpe wu kaatu nitu kpa gbu tsi wu luwa na, e kina to nkon wu chutu rju na.”
For we are in ieoperdy to be accused of this dayes busines: for as moche as ther is no cause wherby we maye geve a rekenynge of this concourse of people.
41 Niwa a kle tre toyi, a kaa son a nda du ndji ba shan hi.
And when he had thus spoken he let the congregacion departe.
