Guncei 19
1 Kawrin kho Apollos ao navah Pawl teh mon lam hoi Efisa kho a cei.
And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus. And finding certain disciples,
2 A hnukkâbangnaw hoi a kâhmo toteh, nangmouh ni na yuem awh navah, Kathoung Muitha na coe awh toung maw telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni Kathoung Muitha coe hoi coe hoeh e ka panuek awh hoeh atipouh awh.
he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, No, we did not even hear whether there is a Holy Spirit.
3 Hattoteh Pawl niyah, bangpatet e baptisma maw na coe awh vaw, telah let a pacei navah, ahnimouh ni, Jawhan e baptisma doeh ka coe ati awh.
And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
4 Pawl ni Jawhan teh amae a hnuklah ka tho hane Bawipa hah yuem awh haw titeh pankângainae baptisma doeh na poe awh. Hottelah a dei navah Jisuh Khrih doeh a dei ngai nah atipouh.
Then said Paul, John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him that was coming after him; that is, on Jesus.
5 Ahnimouh ni a yuem awh toteh Jisuh min dawk baptisma a coe awh.
And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 Pawl ni ahnimouh lathueng kut a toung pouh toteh ahnimouh koe Kathoung Muitha a pha. Hatdawkvah ahnimanaw teh alouke lawknaw a dei awh teh, profet lawk a pâpho awh.
And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
7 Ahnimanaw teh abuemlahoi hrahlaikahni touh a pha.
And the men were about twelve in all.
8 Hathnukkhu Pawl teh thapa yung thum touh thung sinakok vah Cathut uknaeram kamthang hah taranhawi laihoi a pâpho.
And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
9 Hatei tami tangawn teh a lungpata awh dawkvah yuem laipalah tamimaya hmalah lamthung pathoe lawk a dei awh dawkvah, a hnukkâbangnaw hah a kaw teh ahnimouh koehoi a tâco teh, Tirannus sengim dawkvah hnintangkuem a cangkhai.
But when some were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of the way [[of the Lord]] before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of Tyrannus.
10 Kum hni touh thung hottelah a kâroe dawkvah Judahnaw, Griknaw hoi Asia ram kaawmnaw pueng ni Bawipa e lawkkatang teh a thai awh.
And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
11 Cathut ni Pawl kut dawk hoi ka talue e kângairuhnonaw a sak.
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
12 A tak dawk e hnica, hoehpawiteh a kâyeng e hnica a sin awh teh, ka dam hoeh e tak dawk a nep awh navah, ahnimae patawnae a kahma teh muitha kathoutnaw hai a tâco awh.
so that even handkerchiefs, or aprons, were carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
13 Hatnavah yuengyoe kâva e Judah miphun, camkathoumnaw ni, muithakathout ni a man e taminaw koevah, Pawl ni a pâpho e Jisuh min lahoi kâ na poe titeh, Jisuh min hah tanouknae lah a hno awh.
Then some of the wandering Jewish exorcists undertook to name over those who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by that Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 Hottelah ka tet e naw teh Judah tami vaihma bawi Skiva e capa sari touh hah doeh.
And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
15 Hatnavah muitha kathoutnaw ni, Jisuh hai ka panue, Pawl hai ka panue, nangmanaw teh apinaw maw telah ati hnukkhu,
And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?
16 Hote muitha kathoutnaw ni a man e tami ni, ahnimanaw hah a cu sin teh, a kathuek a kayak dawkvah caici lah hmâtan hoi a yawng awh.
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them both, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 Efisa kho kaawm e Judahnaw hoi Griknaw ni hote kamthang a thai awh navah, a taki awh teh Bawipa Jisuh min hah bari kaawm lah a pholen awh.
And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 Ka yuem e tami moikapap a tho awh teh, amamae a tawksak awh e naw hah a pâpho awh.
And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
19 Camkathoumnaw ni hai amamae hnopainaw hoi cauknaw hah tamimaya hmalah a tâcokhai awh teh, hmai a pau awh. Hote cauknaw phu to navah ngun tangka thong 50 touh phu a pha.
Many also of those who had practised magical arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 Hettelah hoiyah, Bawipa e lawkkatang teh thaonae hoi a roung teh tânae a hmu.
So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
21 Hathnukkhu Pawl teh Masidonia ram hoi Akhaia ram lahoi Jerusalem cei hanelah Muitha patounnae lahoi lawk a tâtueng teh, Jerusalem ka cei hnukkhu Rom khopui hai ka hmu han a ti.
And when these things were ended, Paul resolved to pass through Macedonia and Achaia, and to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
22 Hatdawkvah ahni kabawmkung Timote hoi Erastas hah Masidonia ram lah a patoun. Ama teh Asia ram vah dongdeng ao.
And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
23 Hatnavah kamthang lawk kecu dawk ruengrueng ati awh.
And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
24 Bangkong nama tetpawiteh nguntui kahlun e Demetrias teh Atemis cathut napui e bawkimca hlun laihoi nguntui kahlunnaw hanlah tawntanae lah a coung sak.
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
25 Demetrias ni ama patet e taminaw hah a pâkhueng teh, huikonaw, hete thaw hoi maimouh teh tawnta awh tie teh na panue awh.
And having called them together, with the workmen of like occupation, he said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth;
26 Hatei, hete Pawl tie niyah, kut hoi sak e teh Cathut nahoeh ati teh Efisa kho e taminaw dueng laipalah Asia ram e tami pueng hai a dumyen teh lam a hmang sak toe.
and ye see and hear, that this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, not only of Ephesus, but of almost all Asia, saying, that those are not gods, which are made with hands.
27 Hete lawk ni maimae min a mathoe sak dueng laipalah ka lentoe e Atemis cathut napui e bawkim hai banglah noutna hanlah awmhoeh toung vaiteh, Asia ram hoi talaivan pueng ni bawk awh e cathut napui e bahu teh a kahma han toe tie ngaihrinae ao telah a dei.
And there is not only danger that this branch of our business will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.
28 Hote lawk hah ahnimouh ni a thai awh navah, a lung thouk a khuek awh teh, Efisanaw e Atemis teh a lentoe telah a hram awh.
And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
29 Hattoteh khobuem ruengrueng ati awh. Taminaw niyah Pawl hnukkâbang e Masidonia tami Gaius hoi Aristarkas hah a man awh teh, pawi thungvah vai touh lahoi a kâen awh.
And the city was filled with confusion; and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel.
30 Hote taminaw koe Pawl ni kâen hane a ngai ei a hnukkâbangnaw ni a ngang awh.
And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him.
31 Pawl e a hui, Asia ram e khobawinaw ni hai pawi thung kâen hoeh hanelah a kahei awh.
And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre.
32 Taminaw teh ruengrueng ati awh dawkvah alouklouk lah a hram awh. Bangpatet ni teh bangdawkmaw kamkhueng a aw tie hai kamceng lah panuek awh hoeh.
Some therefore were crying one thing, and some another; for the assembly was in confusion, and the greater part knew not wherefore they had come together.
33 Judahnaw ni Alexander hah hmalah a tâco sak awh teh tami tangawn ni a lungkuep awh dawkvah, Alexander ni a kut a kahek teh kamkhuengnaw koe a dei pouh hanelah a kâcai.
And they brought forward Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward; and Alexander beckoned with his hand, desiring to make his defence to the people.
34 Hatei ahni teh Judah tami doeh tie a panue awh navah, tami pueng ni, Efisanaw e Atemis teh a lentoe, telah suimilam kahni touh hane lawk suetalah a hram awh.
But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice for about two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
35 Hathnukkhu khothung e cakathutkung ni kamkhueng e taminaw cing ati sak teh, Efisa taminaw voi Efisa kho teh lentoe Atemis cathut napui e bawkim hoi, kalvan hoi kabawt e meikaphawk hah ka pâkuem e kho lah ao tie hah ka panuek hoeh e tami apimaw kaawm.
But when the Recorder had quieted the multitude, he said, Men of Ephesus, who is there among men that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the great Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
36 Het hateh oun thai hoeh e lah ao dawkvah bangcahai pouk laipalah, hrumhram sak laipalah duem o hanelah ao.
Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
37 Bangkongtetpawiteh nangmouh ni na man awh e hete taminaw ni nangmae bawkim na lawm awh hoeh, maimae cathut napui hah pacekpahlek awh hoeh.
For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
38 Hatdawkvah Demetrias hoi nguntui kahlun e naw, nangmouh ni buetbuet touh toe hane awm pawiteh toeim paawng lah ao na yoe. Khobawinaw hai ao dawkvah ama maroi kâhmo na nei.
If then Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against any one, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring their charges against each other.
39 Hatei alouke kong dawk pawiteh kamceng lah kamkhuengnae koe lawk tâtueng hanlah ao.
But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.
40 Sahnin e hno ka tâcawt e dawkvah kamceng e banghai awmhoeh. Hettelah ruengruengtinae dawkvah maimouh letlang na toe awh pawiteh, kaimouh ni hete kambawngnae dawkvah ka dei thai a mahoeh atipouh teh,
For we are in danger of being called to answer concerning this day's riot, there being no ground on which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse.
41 kamkhuengnaw hah koung a kâkayaw sak.
And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
