Tich Joote 19
1 Kane Apolo ni Korintho, Paulo nowuotho e gwenge mamalo, nyaka nochopo Efeso. Kuno noyude jopuonjre moko,
And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul having come through the upper regions came down into Ephesus: and found certain disciples,
2 mi openjogi niya, “Bende ne uyudo Roho Maler chiengʼ mane uyie kuom Yesu?” Negidwoke niya, “Ooyo, kata mana winjo pok wawinjo ni nitie gimoro ni Roho Maler.”
and said to them, Have you received the Holy Ghost, having believed? And they said to him, But we have not heard if the Holy Ghost is (given).
3 Paulo nomedo penjogi niya, “Ka kamano, to kare batiso mane mane uyudo?” Negidwoke niya, “Ne wayudo batiso mar Johana.”
And he said, Into what then were you baptized? And they said, Into the baptism of John.
4 Paulo nowachonegi niya, “Batiso mar Johana ne en mar lokruok weyo richo. Nonyiso ji mondo oyie kuom Jal mane biro bangʼe, ma en Yesu.”
And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on the one coming after him, that is Jesus.
5 Bangʼ winjo mano, nobatisgi e nying Ruoth Yesu.
And they, having heard, were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;
6 Kane Paulo oketo lwete kuomgi, Roho Maler nolor kuomgi, mine giwuoyo gi dhok mayoreyore kendo ne gikoro wach.
and Paul having laid his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they continued to speak with tongues, and prophesy.
7 Kar romb jogo ne gin chwo apar gariyo.
And they were all about twelve men.
8 Paulo nodonjo e sinagogi mi opuonjo ji gi chir kuom dweche adek. Notemo wuoyo kodgi konyisogi adiera man kuom pinyruodh Nyasaye.
And having come into the synagogue, he preached boldly three months, expounding and persuading them as to the things concerning the kingdom of God.
9 To jomoko kuomgi chunygi nodoko matek, ne gidagi yie kendo negichako wuoyo marach kuom jo-Kristo e lela. Omiyo Paulo noweyogi, mi okawo jopuonjre odhigo e od puonjruok mar ngʼat ma nyinge Turano, kuma ne gitwakie pile.
But when some were becoming hardened and disbelieving, speaking evil of the way in the presence of the multitude, departing from them he separated his disciples, daily expounding in the school of Tyrannus.
10 Paulo notimo mano kuom higni ariyo, mi jo-Yahudi duto gi jo-Yunani manodak e piny Asia nowinjo wach Ruoth.
And this took place two years; so that all dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
11 Nyasaye nomiyo Paulo otimo honni madongo,
And God was working great miracles through the hands of Paul;
12 kata mana kitembini kod lewni mane orere kuome noter ni jotuo, mine gichango kuom tuochegi kendo jochiende noa kuomgi.
so that napkins and aprons were carried from his body and placed on the sick, and diseases departed from them, and evil spirits went out of them.
13 To jo-Yahudi moko mane wuotho koni gi koni kagolo jochiende notemo tiyo gi nying Ruoth Yesu mondo giriemb jochiende kuom ji. Ne gitemo wacho niya, “E nying Yesu ma Paulo yalo, wachiki mondo iwuog oko!”
And certain ones of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to call the name of the Lord Jesus, over those having evil spirits saying, I adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul is preaching.
14 To jadolo maduongʼ moro mar jo-Yahudi miluongo ni Sekewa ne nigi yawuowi abiriyo mane timo kamano.
And there were certain seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish high priest, doing this.
15 To chiengʼ moro achiel jachien nodwokogi niya, “Yesu to angʼeyo, kendo Paulo bende angʼeyo, to un, to un ngʼa gini?”
But the evil spirit responding said to them, I know Jesus, and am acquainted with Paul; but who are you?
16 Eka ngʼat mane nigi jachien-no nopor kuomgi mohewogi duto. Nogoyogi marach mi giringo gia e odno ka gin duge kendo dendgi chwer remo.
And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, domineering over both of them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 Ka jo-Yahudi gi jo-Yunani mane odak Efeso nowinjo wachno luoro nomakogi, kendo nying Ruoth Yesu noyudo duongʼ.
And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified;
18 Ji mangʼeny mane oyie kuom Yesu nobiro mohulo richogi e lela.
and many of those having believed came, confessing, and renouncing their practices.
19 Jomoko kuomgi manosebedo katimo timbe jwok nokelo kitepegi mag thieth mi nowangʼ-gi e lela ka ji duto neno. Kane gikwano nengo kitepego duto mane giwangʼo, neginwangʼo ka nengogi oromo silingʼ alufu piero abich.
And many of those practicing curious arts, having brought their books, burnt them before all: and they estimated the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 Kuom mano, Wach Ruoth nomedo landore kendo ne medo bedo gi teko.
Thus the word of the Lord increased and accumulated strength according to His power.
21 Kane gigo duto osetimore, Paulo nongʼado e chunye mondo odhi Jerusalem, kokadho Makedonia gi Akaya. Nowacho e chunye niya, “Bangʼ dhi Jerusalem, to nyaka alim Rumi bende.”
And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in spirit, having traveled through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on into Jerusalem, saying that, After I am there it behooves me also to see Rome.
22 Nooro jokonyne moko ariyo, ma gin Timotheo gi Erasto, nyaka Makedonia, ka en to ne pod odongʼ e piny Asia kuom ndalo moko.
And having sent two of those ministering to him, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, himself spent the time in Asia.
23 E kindeno koko maduongʼ nowuok kuom wach luwo Yor Kristo.
And at that time there was no small commotion concerning the way.
24 Ngʼat moro ma nyinge Demetrio, mane jathedh fedha, ne loso kido mag hekalu mar nyasaye madhako miluongo ni Artemis, kendo tichneno ne kelo ohala maduongʼ ni jotheth wetene.
For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making silver shrines of Diana, was bringing no small gain to the mechanics,
25 Demetrio noluongo jotheth wetene duto, kod jotich mamoko ma tijgi ne chal gi margi, mi owachonegi niya, “Yawa, ungʼeyo ni tijwani kelonwa ohala maduongʼ.
whom having assembled and the laborers about such things, he said, Men, you know that it is from this work that prosperity is to us:
26 To koro uneno kendo uwinjo kaka ngʼat miluongo ni Pauloni oseloko ji mathoth Efeso-ka, nyaka e piny Asia duto. Owacho ni nyiseche ma dhano oloso ok gin nyiseche mar adier.
and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, that this Paul having persuaded them has turned away a great multitude, saying that there are no gods made with hands.
27 Koro wan gi chandruok, ok mana nikech ji biro chayo tijwani mi ohandwani podhi, to bende nikech hekalu mar nyasaye madhako marahuma, ma en Artemis owuon, ibiro chayo, mi Artemis owuon, ma ji lamo e piny Asia, nyaka e piny duto, ok bi ngʼe duongʼne kaka nyasaye!”
And not only is this interest in danger to us to come into disrepute; but even the temple of the great goddess Diana to be considered for nought, and they are about even to despise the majesty of her, whom all Asia and the world worships.
28 Kane giwinjo wachno, mirima nomakogi mi gichako goyo koko kagiwacho niya, “Artemis mar jo-Efeso duongʼ!”
And hearing and being filled with rage, they continued to cry out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
29 Koko nolandore e dala duto kendo negimako Gayo gi Aristarko ma jo-Makedonia mane jowuodh Paulo kendo ne gimwomore kuomgi ka gichiko pawgi mar tugo.
And the city was filled with commotion: and they rushed of one accord into the theatre, seizing Gaius and Aristarchus, the Macedonians, the companions of Paul.
30 Paulo ne dwaro dhi e diergi mondo owuo kodgi, to jopuonjre notame.
And Paul wishing to go in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not;
31 Kata moko kuom jotend pinyno mane osiepene, noorone wach kakwaye mondo kik odonj e paw tugono.
and certain ones of the Asiatic rulers, also being friends to him, having sent to him, continued to entreat him not to give himself up into the theatre.
32 Chokruok nonjawni. Ji moko ne wacho gimoro achiel, to jomoko ne wacho gimachielo. Ji mangʼeny ne ok ongʼeyo kata gima omiyo ne gin kanyo.
Then indeed they continued to cry out some one thing, and some another: for the church was confused; and the most of them did not know on account of what they had come together.
33 Jomoko kuomgi ne paro ni Aleksanda ema oluongo burani nikech negineno ka jo-Yahudi chwale nyime mondo owuo gi ji. Aleksanda notingʼo bade mondo owuo gi ji.
And some from the crowd forced in Alexander, the Jews precipitating him forward; and Alexander, beckoning with his hand, wished to apologize to the people.
34 To ka ogandano nofwenyo nine en ja-Yahudi, ne gikok gi dwol achiel kuom seche ariyo kagiwacho niya, “Artemis mar jo-Efeso duongʼ!”
But recognizing that he is a Jew, there was one voice from all crying out about two hours, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
35 Bangʼe jagoro morito dalano nopieyo ji kawacho niya, “Un jo-Efeso, donge piny ngima ongʼeyo ni dala mar Efeso ema orito hekalu mar nyasaye marahuma miluongo ni Artemis, kaachiel gi kidone manolwar koa e polo?
And the city clerk having dismissed the multitudes, said, Ephesian men, for what one of men is there that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the statue having fallen down from Jupiter?
36 Kuom mano, kaka wechegi gin adier chuth ma ngʼato ok nyal dagi, weuru goyo koko kendo kik utim tim moro ka ok uparo.
Therefore these things being unquestionable, it is necessary that you become calm, and do nothing rashly.
37 Usekelo jogi ka, kata obedo ni ok gisekwalo gimoro e hekalu, kata yanyo nyasachwa madhakoni.
For you have led in these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor are they blaspheming your goddess.
38 Ka dipo ni Demetrio gi jotheth wetene nigi wach gi ngʼato kuomgi, to ute yalo bura oyaw dhogi, kendo joyal bura bende nitie. Kuno ema ginyalo dhi donjo ni joma okethonigi.
If indeed therefore Demetrius, and the mechanics along with him, have a charge against any one, the courts are in session, and there are lawyers: let them implead one another.
39 To ka dipo ni nitie wach moro machielo ma udwaro nolosi, to nyaka lose mana e chokruok ma chik oyiego.
But if you are seeking something concerning other things, it shall be settled in the lawful church.
40 To kaka weche chal sani, gik mutimogi biro ketowa e chandruok, nikech ibiro ngʼadnwa bura kaka joma kelo koko. Kuom mano, onge yo moro amora ma wanyalo tonygo e wachni, nikech wasegoyo koko maonge tiende.”
For indeed we are in danger of prosecution for the disturbance this day, there being no cause concerning which we shall be able to give a reason for this uproar.
41 Bangʼ kane osewacho wechegi, nogonyo chokruok.
And having said these things, he dismissed the church.
