使徒行傳 19
1 頗羅在格林多的時候，保祿走遍了高原地帶後，來到厄弗所，遇見了幾個門徒，
It came to pass now while Apollos being in Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper parts (to come down *N(k)O*) to Ephesus and (finding *N(k)O*) certain disciples
2 向他們說：「你們信教的時候，領了聖神沒有﹖」他們回答說：「連有聖神，我們都沒有聽過。」
he said (also *no*) to them; If [the] Spirit Holy did you receive having believed? And (they said *k*) to him; But not even that [a] Spirit Holy there is did we hear.
3 保祿說：「那麼，你們受的是什麼洗，」他們說：「是若翰的洗」
He said then (to them: *k*) Into what then were you baptized? And they said; Into John's baptism.
4 保祿說：「若翰受的是悔改的洗，他告訴百姓要信在他以後要來的那一位，就是要信耶穌。」
Said then Paul; John (indeed *k*) baptized a baptism of repentance to the people telling about the [One] coming after him that they may believe, That is in (Christ *K*) Jesus.
5 他們聽了，就因主耶穌之名領了洗。
Having heard then they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus;
6 保祿給他們覆手，聖神便降在他們身上，他們就講各種語言，也說先知話。
And when was laying on them Paul the hands came the Spirit Holy upon them, they were speaking then in tongues and were prophesying.
7 他們一共約有十二人。
There were then the in all men about (twelve. *N(k)O*)
8 保祿進了會堂，放膽講論，一連三個月，辯論天主之國的事，來勸化人。
Having entered then into the synagogue he was speaking boldly for months three reasoning and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
9 但有些人心硬不信，在大眾面前辱罵聖道，保祿便離開他們，把門徒分別出來，每天在提郎諾的學校裏辯論；
When however some were hardened and they were disbelieving speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, having departed from them he took separately the disciples every day reasoning in the lecture hall of Tyrannus (a certain. *k*)
10 這事進行了兩年，以致凡住在亞細亞的人，都聽見了主的道理，猶太人希臘人都有。
This then continued for years two, so that all those inhabiting Asia hearing the word of the Lord (Jesus *K*) Jews both and Greeks.
11 天主藉保祿的手，行了一些非常的奇事，
Miracles then not being ordinary God was doing through the hands of Paul,
12 甚至有人拿去他身上的毛巾和圍裙，放在病人身上，疾病便離開他們，惡魔也出去了。
so that even to the ailing (carrying *NK(O)*) from the skin of him handkerchiefs or aprons and departing from them the diseases the also spirits evil (coming out *N(k)O*) (from *k*) (of them. *K*)
13 那時，有幾個周遊的猶太驅魔者，擅自向附有惡魔的人，呼號主耶穌的名，說：「我因保祿所宣講的耶穌，命你們出去!」
Attempted now some of (also *N(k)O*) of the itinerant Jewish exorcists to invoke over those having spirits evil the name of the Lord Jesus saying; (I adjure *N(K)O*) you [by] Jesus whom (*k*) Paul proclaims.
14 有個猶太司祭長，名叫斯蓋瓦，他的七個兒子都作這事。
They were now (of a certain *N(k)O*) of Sceva a Jewish a high priest seven (*k*) sons this were doing.
15 惡魔回答他們說：「耶穌我認識，保祿我也熟識；可是，你們是誰呀﹖」
Answering however the spirit evil said (to them: *no*) (indeed *no*) Jesus I know and Paul I am acquainted with; you yourselves however who are you?
16 於是那個身附惡魔的人，便撲到他們身上，而制服了他們，勝過了他們，以致他們赤著身子，帶著傷，從那屋裏逃走了。
And (having leapt *N(k)O*) the man upon them in whom was the spirit evil, (and *k*) (having overpowered *NK(o)*) (them all *N(K)O*) he prevailed against them so that naked and wounded fleeing out of the house that.
17 凡住在厄弗所的猶太人和希臘人，知道了這事，就都害怕起來；主耶穌的名字也傳揚開了。
This now became known to all Jews both also to Greeks who inhabiting Ephesus and (fell *NK(o)*) fear upon all them and was being magnified the name of the Lord Jesus,
18 信教的人中，有許多來承認，並報告自己以往所行的事；
Many then of those having believed were coming confessing and declaring the deeds of them.
19 其中有好些曾行過巫術的人，把書籍一起帶來，當著眾人的面燒燬了；他們估計書價，得知共值五萬銀幣。
Many now of those the magic arts having practiced having brought together the books were burning [them] before all; And they counted up the prices of them and found [it] of silverlings myriads five.
20 這樣，主的道理大為發揚，日漸堅固。
thus with might of the Lord the word was continuing to increase and was prevailing.
21 這些事以後，保祿決意要經過馬其頓和阿哈雅往耶路撒冷去，說：「我到那裏以後，也該看看羅馬。」
After now were fulfilled these things, purposed Paul in the Spirit having passed through Macedonia and Achaia to go to Jerusalem having said that After being me there, it behooves me also Rome to see.
22 就打發他的兩位助手，弟茂德和厄辣斯托，往馬其頓去，自己暫時留在亞細亞。
Having sent then into Macedonia two of those ministering to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.
23 在那時候，關於主的道，起了不小的騷動。
Arose now at the time same a disturbance not small concerning the Way.
24 原來有個名叫德默特琉的銀匠，製造阿爾特米的銀龕，使工匠們獲利不少。
Demetrius for a certain [man] named, a silversmith making shrines silver of Artemis, was bringing to the craftsmen no little business
25 他把他們和同業的工人集合起來說：「同人們！你們知道：我們是靠這手藝發財的。
whom having brought together also the in such things Workmen he said; Men, you know that from this business the wealth (of us *N(k)O*) is,
26 你們看見，也聽到：這個保祿，不僅在厄弗所，而且幾乎在整個亞細亞勸服了許多人，說：『人手製造的，並不是神。』
And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but almost in all of Asia Paul this having persuaded [them] he has turned away a great many people saying that not they are gods through hands being made.
27 這不但使我們這分行業，咬遭人唾棄的危險，而且連偉大女神阿爾特米的廟，也要被視為無物，甚至整個亞細亞和天下所敬拜的女神的尊威，也將被消滅。」
Not only but this is endangered to us the business into disrepute to come but also the of the great goddess Artemis temple as no [thing] to be reckoned, to be (and *N(k)O*) also deposing (the majesty *N(k)O*) of her whom all Asia and the world worship.
28 他們聽了，滿懷怒氣，喊著說：「大哉！厄弗所人的阿爾特米！」
Having heard then and having become full of rage they were crying out saying; Great [is] Artemis of [the] Ephesians.
29 於是滿城混亂起來，他們捉住了保祿的旅伴馬其頓人加約及阿黎斯塔苛，一起衝到劇場。
And was filled the city (all *K*) with confusion; they rushed and with one accord to the theatre having dragged off Gaius and Aristarchus Macedonians, fellow travelers (*k*) of Paul.
30 保祿願意，進去會見民眾，可是門徒們不讓他去；
(*k*) Paul however intending to go in to the people not were allowing him the disciples;
31 還有幾位亞細亞的首長，是他的朋友，也打發人到他那裏，勸他不要冒險到劇場去。
Some then also of the Asiarchs being to him friends, having sent to him they were urging [him] not to venture himself into the theatre.
32 當時眾人亂叫亂嚷，的確是一個混亂的集會，大多數都不知道為了什麼而聚會。
Others indeed therefore some thing were crying out; was for the assembly confused, and most not did know for what cause they had assembled.
33 群眾中有些人推舉出亞歷山大來，猶太人就推他上前；亞歷山大就揮了揮手，要想向民眾分辯。
Out of now the crowd (brought forward *N(k)O*) Alexander when were thrusting forward him the Jews; And Alexander having motioned with the hand was wanting to present a defense to the people.
34 可是眾人一認出他是猶太人來，就都同聲呼喊：「大哉！厄弗所人的阿爾特米！」約兩小時之久。
(Having recognized *N(k)O*) however that a Jew he is, a cry there was one from all (about *NK(o)*) ongoing hours two crying out; Great [is] Artemis of [the] Ephesians.
35 書記官使群眾安靜下來，說：「厄弗所人啊！誰不知道厄弗所人的城，是偉大阿爾特米的廟，和那從天降下的神像的看守者呢﹖
having calmed then the town clerk the crowd he says; Men Ephesians, who for is there (of men *N(k)O*) who not knows the of [the] Ephesians city temple-keeper as being of the great (goddess *k*) Artemis and of that fallen from the sky?
36 這些事既不能反駁，你們就該鎮靜，不要冒昧從事。
Undeniable therefore are being these things necessary it is for you quietened to be and nothing rash to do.
37 你們帶來的這些人，既不是褻聖者，也沒有出言侮辱我們的女神；
You brought for men these neither temple plunderers nor blaspheming the (goddess *N(k)O*) (of us. *N(K)O*)
38 所以，如果德默特琉和他同業的工匠，有什麼案件反對某人，有訴訟期，又有總督在，他們儘可彼此對告。
If indeed therefore Demetrius and the with him craftsmen have against anyone a matter courts are conducted and proconsuls there are; they should accuse to one another.
39 但你們若還要求什麼餘外的事，可以在法定的集會裏解決。
If however anything (beyond this *N(K)O*) you inquire, in the lawful assembly it will be solved.
40 關於今天的事，我們實在有被控作亂的危險，因為這本是無緣無故的；我們對這事，對這次集會，也不能指出理由來。」
And for we are in danger of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day not one cause there is existing concerning which not we will be able (to render *NK(o)*) a reason (for *no*) commotion this.
41 他說了這些話，纔把集會遣散了。
And these things having said he dismissed the assembly.
