Y Checho Y Apostoles Sija 19
1 YA susede mientras estataba si Apolos guiya Corinto, si Pablo malofan gui managquilo na costa ya mato Efeso: ya mañoda palo disipulo sija güije.
Now it happened that, while Apollo was at Corinth, Paul, after he had journeyed through the upper regions, arrived at Ephesus. And he met with certain disciples.
2 Ya ilegña nu sija: Inresibe y Espiritu Santo desde qui manmanjonggue jamyo? Ya ilegñija: Taya nae injingog cao esta manae Espiritu Santo.
And he said to them, “After believing, have you received the Holy Spirit?” But they said to him, “We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 Ya ilegña nu sija: Jafa nae manmatagpangenmiyo? Ya sija ilegñija: Y tinagpangen Juan.
Yet truly, he said, “Then with what have you been baptized?” And they said, “With the baptism of John.”
4 Ayonae ilegña si Pablo: Si Juan, magajet na managpapange ni y tinagpangen sinetsot, ya jasangane y taotao sija, na ujajonggue ayo y ufato despues di güiya, ayo y as Cristo Jesus.
Then Paul said: “John baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying that they should believe in the One who is to come after him, that is, in Jesus.”
5 Ya anae jajungog sija este, manmatagpange ni y naan y Señot Jesus.
Upon hearing these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 Ya anae munjayan japlanta si Pablo y canaeña gui jiloñija, y Espiritu Santo mato gui jiloñija: ya manguentos ni y tifinoñija, ya manmanprofetisa.
And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came over them. And they were speaking in tongues and prophesying.
7 Ayo sija todos dose na taotao lalaje.
Now the men were about twelve in all.
8 Ya jumalom si Pablo gui sinagoga, ya cumuentos libre tres meses; jasangan yan y animo gui raenon Yuus.
Then, upon entering the synagogue, he was speaking faithfully for three months, disputing and persuading them about the kingdom of God.
9 Lao anae palo manmajetog, ya ti manmalago manmanjonggue, ya manguecuentos taelaye pot ayo na Chalan gui menan y linajyan taotao, sumuja si Pablo guiya sija, ya janafañuja y disipulo sija, ya manadingan cada jaane gui escuelan Tiranno.
But when certain ones became hardened and would not believe, cursing the Way of the Lord in the presence of the multitude, Paul, withdrawing from them, separated the disciples, disputing daily in a certain school of Tyrannus.
10 Ya dos años di mafatinas este: para todo ayo y mañasaga Asia ujajungog y sinangan y Señot Jesus, parejoja y Judio yan y Griego sija.
Now this was done throughout two years, so that all who were living in Asia listened to the Word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.
11 Ya jafatinas si Yuus milagro pot y canae Pablo:
And God was accomplishing powerful and uncommon miracles by the hand of Paul,
12 Para guinin y tataotaoña nae umachule paño sija para y manmalango, ya y chetnot ufañuja guiya sija; yan y manaelaye na espiritu ufanjuyong guiya sija.
so much so that even when small cloths and wrappings were brought from his body to the sick, the illnesses withdrew from them and the wicked spirits departed.
13 Ya palo Judios na manaesagañija, taotao binanggelio, japrocura na jasangan nu ayo sija y manguaja taelaye na espiritu y naan y Señot Jesus, ilegñija: Innafanjula jao pot si Jesus, ni y japredidica si Pablo.
Then, even some of the traveling Jewish exorcists had attempted to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I bind you by oath through Jesus, whom Paul preaches.”
14 Ya guaja siete na lalaje, famaguon un Judio ni naaña si Sceva, ya magas mamale, na jafatinas este sija.
And there were certain Jews, the seven sons of Sceva, leaders among the priests, who were acting in this way.
15 Ya manope y taelaye na espiritu, ilegña: Si Jesus jutungo, yan si Pablo jutungo; lao jaye jamyo?
But a wicked spirit responded by saying to them: “Jesus I know, and Paul I know. But who are you?”
16 Ya y taotao ni y guaja taelaye na espiritu, tumayog gui jiloñija; ya jagana sija, sa mas gaeninasiñaña qui sija; ya esta manmalago sija güije na guma, manerido yan taya magaguñija.
And the man, in whom there was a wicked spirit, leaping at them and getting the better of them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled from that house, naked and wounded.
17 Ya matungo este todo ni y Judios, yan y Griego sija yan ayo sija y mañasaga Efeso; ya podong y minaañao gui jiloñija todos, ya manadangculo y naan y Señot Jesus.
And so, this became known to all the Jews and Gentiles who were living at Ephesus. And a fear fell over them all. And the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 Ya megae ni y manmanjonggue manmato, ya mangonfesat manmañangane ni y chechoñija.
And many believers were arriving, confessing, and announcing their deeds.
19 Ya megae ni ayo sija locue y umuusa y magica jachule y leblonñija, ya jasonggue gui menan todo y taotao: ya matufong y balenñija, ya masoda na sincuenta mil na pidason salape,
Then many of those who had followed odd sects brought together their books, and they burned them in the sight of all. And after determining the value of these, they found the price to be fifty thousand denarii.
20 Ya taegüenao mumegagaeña y ninasiñan y sinangan Yuus.
In this way, the Word of God was increasing strongly and was being confirmed.
21 Ya despues di este sija, jajaso si Pablo gui espirituña, anae malofan inanaco Masedonia yan Acaya na ujanao para Jerusalem, ilegña: Yaguin esta matoyo güije, nesesita yo na julie locue Roma.
Then, when these things were completed, Paul decided in the Spirit, after crossing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “Then, after I have been there, it is necessary for me to see Rome also.”
22 Ya depues di jatago dos para Masedonia ni y sumesetbe güe, si Timoteo yan Erasto, güiya sumagaja Asia un rato.
But sending two of those who were ministering to him, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, he himself remained for a time in Asia.
23 Ya ayo na tiempo guaja güije atboroto pot ayo na Chalan.
Now at that time, there occurred no small disturbance concerning the Way of the Lord.
24 Sa un platero na taotao na y naanña si Demetrio, ya mamatitinas attat salape para si Diana, ya ti didide na ganansia chinileleña para y manmamatitinas.
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith making silver shrines for Diana, was providing no small profit to craftsmen.
25 Ya janaetnon yan todo y manmachochocho ni y taegüije, ya ilegña: Señores, intingoja na este na chocho nae manmañoñodajit güinajata.
And calling them together, with those who were employed in the same way, he said: “Men, you know that our income is from this craft.
26 Ya inliija yan injingog, na ti ayoja iya Efeso, lao cana todo iya Asia nae megae na taotao jasuug si Pablo, yan jabira, sa ilegña na ti manyuus ayo sija y finatinas canae.
And you are seeing and hearing that this man Paul, by persuasion, has turned away a great multitude, not only from Ephesus, but from nearly all of Asia, saying, ‘These things are not gods which have been made by hands.’
27 Ya ti esteja nae uguaja peligro y chechota na unafanaebale lao asta y templon y dangculo na yuus si Diana umarechasa, ya y tinaquiloña umayulang, ni y todo iya Asia yan todo y tano umadodora.
Thus, not only is this, our occupation, in danger of being brought into repudiation, but also the temple of the great Diana will be reputed as nothing! Then even her majesty, whom all of Asia and the world worships, will begin to be destroyed.”
28 Ya anae jajungog sija este na sinangan, ninafangosbubu, ya managang ilegñija: Dangculo y Dianan Efesios.
Upon hearing this, they were filled with anger, and they cried out, saying, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!”
29 Ya y siuda bula atboroto; ya mandaña unoja ya manjalom gui teatro ya macone si Gayo yan Aristarco, taotao Masedonia mangachong Pablo gui jinanaoña.
And the city was filled with confusion. And having seized Gaius and Aristarchus of Macedonia, companions of Paul, they rushed violently, with one accord, into the amphitheater.
30 Ya malago si Pablo na ufalag y anae mangaegue y taotao sija; lao ti mapolo ni y disipulo.
Then, when Paul wanted to enter to the people, the disciples would not permit him.
31 Ya palo ni y manmagas Asia ni y manamiguña, manmanago na umasangane na chaña jumalom güe gui teatro.
And some of the leaders from Asia, who were his friends, also sent to him, requesting that he not present himself in the amphitheater.
32 Ya y palo, managang un inagang: ya y palo, otro inagang; sa manatborotao y dinana; ya megaeña ti tumungo jafa na mandaña sija.
But others were crying out various things. For the assembly was in confusion, and most did not know the reason they had been called together.
33 Ya macone si Alejandro gui entre y linajyan taotao, ya mapolo mona ni y Judios, ya mañeñas si Alejandro ni y canaeña na ufanmamatquilo, sa malago umadingane y taotao sija,
So they dragged Alexander from the crowd, while the Jews were propelling him forward. And Alexander, gesturing with his hand for silence, wanted to give the people an explanation.
34 Lao anae matungo na Judio güe, todos managang gui un inagang buente dos oras, ilegñija: Dangculo y Dianan Efesios.
But as soon as they realized him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for about two hours, were crying out, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!”
35 Ya anae y secretario y inetnon magalalaje munjayan janaquieto y taotao, ilegña nu sija: Jamyo ni y taotao Efeso, jafa na taotao ayo y ti jatungo na y siuda Efesios manmanadodora ni y dangculo na yuus Diana, yan y imagen ni y podong guinin y Jupiter?
And when the scribe had calmed the crowds, he said: “Men of Ephesus, now what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is in the service of the great Diana and of the offspring of Jupiter?
36 Inlie na estesija ti siña macontra, nesesita na infanmamatquilo, ya chamiyo fumatitinas jafa.
Therefore, since these things are not able to be contradicted, it is necessary for you to be calm and to do nothing rash.
37 Sa jamyo cumone mague este sija na taotao, na ti mañaque gui guimayuus, ni ujachatfino contra y yuusmiyo.
For you have brought forward these men, who are neither sacrilegious nor blasphemers against your goddess.
38 Yaguin si Demetrio yan y palo ni y mangachongña guaja quejanñija contra y otro taotao: guaja tribunal y lay: ya guaja y jues; polo ya ufanafaaela uno y otro.
But if Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a case against anyone, they can convene in the courts, and there are proconsuls. Let them accuse one another.
39 Lao yaguin inseda jamyo jafa pot otro sija, umafatinas gui inetnon y magalalaje taemanoja y lay.
But if you would inquire about other things, this can be decided in a lawful assembly.
40 Sa mangaeguejit gui peligro, na utafanmafaesen pot este sija na atboroto, ya taya jafa siña urasonta pot este.
For now we are in peril of being convicted of sedition over today’s events, since there is no one guilty (against whom we are able to provide evidence) in this gathering.”
41 Ya anae munjayan cumuentos, janajanao y dinaña.
And when he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
