Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, after passing through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,
Lukale kuuti u Apologize ye aliku Korintho upaulo akakila ku kyanya na kufika kulikaja lya Efeso, pe akavonaakavona avavulanisivua vamo ukuo.
2 said to them: Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? They said to him: We have not only not received it, but we have not even heard whether the Holy Spirit is given.
U Paulo akam'bula, “Nde, mukamwupile uMhepo u Mwimike yemukitike?” Vakam'bula, “nambe, natulyapulike ndavule uMhepo u Mwimike.”
3 And he said to them: Into what, then, were you immersed? They replied: Into John’s immersion.
U Paulo akaati, “lino umue mukofwighue ndani?” Vakaati, “Mulwofugho ulwa Yohana.
4 And Paul said: John immersed with the immersion of repentance, saying to the people, that they must believe on him who should come after him, that is, on the Christ, Jesus.
Kange uPaulo akamula, “U Yohana alyofwighe ulwofugho ulwa lulato. Akavavula avanhu vala kuuti mulondua kukumwitika jula juno ikwisa pa mwene, ndavule, u Yesu.”
5 And when they heard this, they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Avanhu ye vapulike imola iiji, peva kofughua kulitavua lya Mutwa Yesu.
6 And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Lukale u Paulo yavikile amavoko gha mwene kuvanave, uMhepo u Mwimike Akita kuvanave pe akatengula kujova injovele kuviila.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Palikimo Avenue valyale avaghosi kijigho nava viili.
8 And he entered the synagogue, and spoke boldly, reasoning, and persuading them for three months, with respect to the things of the kingdom of God.
U Paulo alyalutile kunyumba ijakufunyila akajova na Kun'kangasia amasiki gha meesi ghatatu. Alyale ilongosia kupuling'ana nakuvakwesa avaanhu vano valungime vwimila u vutua uvwa Nguluve.
9 But as some were hardened, and did not believe, and spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he withdrew from them, and separated the disciples, and discoursed daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
Looli ava Yahudi avange valyale vakali avange vano navikwitika, valyatengwile kujova amavivi kulungama musila ija Kilisite pavulongolo pa kipugha. Kange u Paulo akalekine na veene pe akavabaghula vano vikutika navene. Umwene akatengula kujova mufighono fyooni kuvukumbi uvwa Tirano.
10 This continued for two years; so that all that dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Ulu lulyaghendelile amaka gha viili, looli vonivoni valyle vikukala ku Asia valyapulike ilisio lya Mutwa, vooni ava Yahudi nava Yunani.
11 Mighty deeds, also, that were unusual, did God perform by the hands of Paul;
U nguluve alyale ivomba imbombo mumavoko agha Paulo,
12 so that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried from his body to the sick, and diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits came out of them.
kuuti avatamu valyavuvusivue, nu Mhepo umulamafu akavahuma, unsiki ghono valyalolile ikitambala namenda ghano ghakahumile mum'bili gha Paaulo.
13 And some of the roving Jews, who were exorcists, undertook to pronounce the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying: I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.
Looli pevalyale ava Yahudi vano valyale vipunga uvupepo vikyula kukilila ikisala ikio, vakavombelagha ilitavua lya Yesu vwimila vuvanave vavuo. Valyavavulile vala kuuti valyale niili pepo ililamafu; vakaati, “Nikuvavula muhume mulitavua lya Yesu juno u Paulo ikun'dalikila.”
14 And there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Vano valyaghavombile agha valyale vaana budika lubali vwa ntekesi umbaha ughwa kiyahudi, ni Skewa.
15 But the evil spirit answered and said: Jesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know; but who are you?
Amapepo amalamafu vakavamula, “U Yesu nun'kaguile, naju Paulo ni n'kaguile; looli umwe mwemue va veeni?” Jula umhepo umulamafu akavahadukila
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was, leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled from that house, naked and wounded.
mun'kate mwa munhu ava punga vupepo na akavasinda ingufu na kukuvatova. Pe vakakimbilila kuhuma munyumba jila vakale sila Manda kange vakalemile.
17 And this became known to all the Greeks and Jews that dwelt in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Ilio likakagulika ku vooni, ava Yahudi nava Yunani, vano valyale vikukala kuula ku Efeso. Valyale nuludwesi luvaha fiijo, nilitavua lya Mutwa likongelela kupulikika.
18 And many of those who believed came and confessed, and made known their practices.
Kange, vinga avaviitiki valisile nakulata kange vakasimilisia imbombo imbivi sino vakavombile.
19 And many of those who practiced magic, brought together their books, and burned them, in the presence of all. And they computed their value, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Vinga valyale vivomba uvughanga vakakong'ania ifitabu fivanave, vakanyanya pa vulongolo pa munhu ghweni. Unsiki avene ye vavalile ulutalama lwa fiinu, lilyalelilyale fighavo fijigho fihano ifya ndalama.
20 So mightily did the word of the Lord grow and prevail.
Pa uluo ilisio lya Mutwa likakwilana muvukome fiijo uvwa ngufu.
21 When these things had been accomplished, Paul purposed in spirit to go to Jerusalem, after he should pass through Macedonia and Achaia, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.
Isa Paulo kukwilana imbombo inofu ija mwene kula ku Efeso, u Mhepo akamulongosia kuluta ku Yerusalemu kukilila ku Makedonia naku Akaya; akaati, “Yekwene ukuo, jininoghile kujagha i Rumi.”
22 So, having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he remained for a time in Asia.
U Paulo akavomola ku Makedonia avavulanisivua va mwene vaviili, Timotheo nu Erasto, vano valyale vikutanga. Looli umwene jujuo akajighe ku Asia mu nsiki.
23 And at that time there was no little excitement about that way.
Unsiki ughuo kukahumile ulunjughanjugha ulukome ukuo ku Efeso vwimila isiila jiila.
24 For a certain man, named Demetrius, a silversmith, by making silver shrines for Diana, furnished no little trade to the artists.
U sonora jumo ilitavua lyamwene Demetrio, juno alyatendile ifihwan ifya ndalama ifya Nguluve Diana, alyaletile ifighusivua ifivaha kuvamang'anyi.
25 These he called together, with the workmen employed about such things, and said: Men, you know that our wealth arises from this trade:
Pe akavakong'ania ava mang'anyi ava mbombo jila na kuuti, “Vagojo mukagwile kuuti mufighusivua ifii tukwingisia indalama nyinga.
26 and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost the whole of Asia, this Paul, by his persuasions, has drawn away a great multitude, saying, that they which are made with hands are not gods.
Mulola na kupulika kuuti, usue tuliapa pa Efeso, looli pipi ni Asia jooni, u Paulo uju avavulile na kuvashetulania avanhu viinga. Ijova kuuti kweghasili amanumbela Ghana ghavombilue na mavoko.
27 Now there is danger, not only that this our calling will come into disgrace, but that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and that the majesty of her whom all Asia and the world worships, will be destroyed.
Na kwekuuti kwelile ulutalaamu kuuti ifighusivua fiitu nafilonduagha kange, looli nii nyumba ija Nguluve ijakufunyila umama um'baha u Diana lunoghile kusyojola kuuti asita luvumbulilo. Kange anoghile asovile uvuvaha vwa mwene, juno i Asia ni iisi jikufunya kwa mwene.”
28 When they heard this, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
Ye vapulike agha, vakamemile ni ng'alasi kange vakajeghela, vakaati, “U Diana ughwa Efeso ghwe m'baha.”
29 And the whole city was filled with confusion. And they seized Gains and Aristarchus, who were Macedonians, Paul’s fellow-travelers, and, with one consent, rushed into the theater.
Ilikaja lioni likamemile ulunjughanjugha, navanhu vakakimbila mun'kate muvukumbi uvwa luneno. Vakavakolile vano vikyula avanine nhu Paulo, u Gayo nu Aristariko, vano vakahumile ku Makedonia.
30 And when Paul wished to go in among the people, the disciples did not permit him.
U Paulo alyalondile kukwingila mukipugha kya vanhu, looli avavulanisivua vakan'sigha.
31 Some of the Asiarchs also, who were friendly to him, sent to him, and besought him not to trust himself into the theater.
Kange, avagoyo vamo ava kisina ava ku Asia vano valyale vamanyani va mwene vakantwalila imola inofu kungufu kukunsuma alike pikwingila muvukumbi uvwaluneno.
32 Some, therefore, were crying one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what they had come together.
Avanhu vamo valyale viiti ikiinu iiki na vange ilisio lila, ulyakuva ikipugha kya vanhu kilyahasiling'ine. Vinga vavanave navakakagwile nambe kuuti nakiki valisile palikimo.
33 And some of the multitude put Alexander forward, the Jews urging him on. And Alexander waved his hand, and wished to make a defense to the people.
Ava Yahudi vakantwala u Iskanda kunji kukipugha kya vanhu na pikum'bika pavulongolo pa vanhu. U iskanda akahumia ikidegho muluvok lwa mwene kuhumia uvwolesi ku vanhu.
34 But perceiving that he was a Jew, they all cried out, with one voice, for about two hours: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Looli yeva kagwiile kuuti umene mu Yahudi, vooni vakajeghela ku lisio limo munsiki ghwa lmasala ghavili, “U Diana ghwe m'baha ughwa va Efeso.”
35 But the town-clerk quieted the multitude, and said: Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great Diana, and of the image that fell down from Jupiter?
Pa uluo umulembi ughwa likaja akanyamasia ikipugha, akaati, 'Umwe mwe vaghosi ava Efeso ghweveni Juno nakagwiile kuuti ilikaja lya Efeso juno ikolelela inyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila ija Diana umbaha nikila ikihwani kino kikaghwile kuhuma kukyanya?
36 As these things, then, can not be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
Kulola kuuti amasio agha naghangakagulike, tulondua kuuti tuve Kimmie kange namungavombaghe kyooni ikya ng'aning'ani.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples, nor revilers of your goddess.
Ulwakuva ulwakuva muvakemelile avanhu ava pa ndinde vano navaliasi ava nyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila nambe navikum'beda u Nguluve ghwiitu un'dala.
38 Therefore, if Demetrius, and the artists who are with him, have a charge against any one, the courts are in session, and the proconsuls are there; let them accuse each other.
Ku uluo, ndavule u Demetrio na mang'anyi vano valipalikimo nu mwene valinamavoko vwimila vwa munhu ghweni, indinde si dindulivue navasikari pevale. Pe valetue pavulongolo pa highi.
39 But if you have any inquiries to make about other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
Looli ndavule uve ungalonde kyekyoni kila ghusimilisa amasio aghange, ghivombua mukikalo ikya kyang'haani.
40 For we are in danger of being called to answer for this day’s tumult, since there is no cause by which we shall be able to account for this concourse.
Sa kyang'ani tuluvivi ulwakuhighua vwimila ulunjughanjugha vwimila ulwa kighono iki. Kusiila lumonga ulwakunangika isi, kange nakwande tuva ningufu isa kwolelela.
41 And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
Ye ajovile agha, akapalasinie ifipugha.
