Acts 19
1 And it came about that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having gone through the higher country, came to Ephesus, where there were certain disciples:
At nangyari, na, samantalang si Apolos ay nasa Corinto, pagkatahak ni Pablo ng mga lupaing matataas ay napasa Efeso, at nakasumpong ng ilang mga alagad:
2 And he said to them, Did you get the Holy Spirit when you had faith? And they said to him, No, we have had no knowledge of the Holy Spirit.
At sa kanila'y sinabi niya, Tinanggap baga ninyo ang Espiritu Santo nang kayo'y magsisampalataya? At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Hindi, hindi man lamang namin narinig na may ibinigay na Espiritu Santo.
3 And he said, What sort of baptism did you have? And they said, The baptism of John.
At sinabi niya, Kung gayo'y sa ano kayo binautismuhan? At sinabi nila, Sa bautismo ni Juan.
4 And Paul said, John gave a baptism which goes with a change of heart, saying to the people that they were to have faith in him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.
At sinabi ni Pablo, Nagbabautismo si Juan ng bautismo ng pagsisisi, na sinasabi sa bayan na sila'y magsisampalataya sa darating sa hulihan niya, sa makatuwid baga'y kay Jesus.
5 And hearing this, they had baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus.
At nang kanilang marinig ito, ay nangapabautismo sila sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus.
6 And when Paul had put his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they had the power of talking in tongues, and acting like prophets.
At nang maipatong na ni Pablo sa kanila ang kaniyang mga kamay, ay bumaba sa kanila ang Espiritu Santo; at sila'y nagsipagsalita ng mga wika, at nagsipanghula.
7 And there were about twelve of these men.
At silang lahat ay may labingdalawang lalake.
8 And he went into the Synagogue, and for three months he was preaching there without fear, reasoning and teaching about the kingdom of God.
At siya'y pumasok sa sinagoga, at nagsalitang may katapangan sa loob ng tatlong buwan, na nangangatuwiran at nanghihikayat tungkol sa mga bagay na nauukol sa kaharian ng Dios.
9 But because some of the people were hard-hearted and would not give hearing, saying evil words about the Way before the people, he went away from them, and kept the disciples separate, reasoning every day in the school of Tyrannus.
Datapuwa't nang magsipagmatigas ang ilan at ayaw magsipaniwala, na pinagsasalitaan ng masama ang Daan sa harapan ng karamihan, ay umalis siya sa kanila, at inihiwalay ang mga alagad, na nangangatuwiran araw-araw sa paaralan ni Tiranno.
10 And this went on for two years, so that all those who were living in Asia had knowledge of the word of the Lord, Greeks as well as Jews.
At ito'y tumagal sa loob ng dalawang taon; ano pa't ang lahat ng mga nagsisitahan sa Asia ay nangakarinig ng salita ng Panginoon, ang mga Judio at gayon din ang mga Griego.
11 And God did special works of power by the hands of Paul:
At gumawa ang Dios ng mga tanging himala sa pamamagitan ng mga kamay ni Pablo:
12 So that bits of linen and clothing from his body were taken to people who were ill, and their diseases went away from them and the evil spirits went out.
Ano pa't ang mga panyo o mga tapi na mapadaiti sa kaniyang katawan ay dinadala sa mga may-sakit, at nawawala sa kanila ang mga sakit, at nangagsisilabas ang masasamang espiritu.
13 But some of the Jews who went from place to place driving out evil spirits, took it on themselves to make use of the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, I give you orders, by Jesus, whom Paul is preaching.
Datapuwa't ilan sa mga Judiong pagalagala na nagsisipagpalayas ng masasamang espiritu, ay nagsipangahas na sambitlain ang pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus sa mga may masasamang espiritu, na nagsisipagsabi, Ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo sa pamamagitan ni Jesus na siyang ipinangangaral ni Pablo.
14 And there were seven sons of a man named Sceva, a Jew and a chief priest, who did this.
At may pitong anak na lalake ang isang Esceva na Judio, isang pangulong saserdote, na nagsisigawa nito.
15 And the evil spirit, answering, said to them, I have knowledge of Jesus, and of Paul, but who are you?
At sumagot ang masamang espiritu at sa kanila'y sinabi, Nakikilala ko si Jesus, at nakikilala ko si Pablo; datapuwa't sino-sino kayo?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was, jumping on them, was stronger than the two of them, and overcame them, so that they went running from that house, wounded and without their clothing.
At ang taong kinaroroonan ng masamang espiritu ay lumukso sa kanila, at sila'y kaniyang natalo, at nadaig sila, ano pa't nagsitakas sila sa bahay na yaon na mga hubo't hubad at mga sugatan.
17 And this came to the ears of all those, Jews and Greeks, who were living at Ephesus; and fear came on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was made great.
At nahayag ito sa lahat, sa mga Judio at gayon din sa mga Griego, na nangananahanan sa Efeso; at sinidlan silang lahat ng takot, at pinadakila ang pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus.
18 And a number of those who had faith came and made a public statement of their sins and all their acts.
Marami rin naman sa mga nagsisampalataya na ang nagsidating, na ipinahahayag at isinasaysay ang kanilang mga gawain.
19 And a great number of those who were experts in strange arts took their books and put them on the fire in front of everyone: and when the books were valued they came to fifty thousand bits of silver.
At hindi kakaunti sa mga nagsisigamit ng mga kabihasnang magica ay nagsipagtipon ng kanilang mga aklat, at pinagsusunog sa paningin ng lahat; at kanilang binilang ang halaga niyaon, at nasumpungang may limampung libong putol na pilak.
20 So the word of the Lord was increased very greatly and was full of power.
Sa gayo'y lumagong totoo ang salita ng Panginoon at nanaig.
21 Now after these things were ended, Paul came to a decision that when he had gone through Macedonia and Achaia he would go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I have a desire to see Rome.
Pagkatapos nga ng mga bagay na ito, ay ipinasiya ni Pablo sa espiritu, nang matahak na niya ang Macedonia at ang Acaya, na pumaroon sa Jerusalem, na sinasabi, Pagkapanggaling ko roon, ay kinakailangang makita ko naman ang Roma.
22 And having sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, he himself went on living in Asia for a time.
At nang maisugo na niya sa Macedonia ang dalawa sa nagsisipaglingkod sa kaniya, na si Timoteo at si Erasto, siya rin ay natirang ilang panahon sa Asia.
23 And about that time a great outcry took place about the Way.
At halos nang panahong yao'y may nangyaring hindi mumunting kaguluhan tungkol sa Daan.
24 For there was a certain man named Demetrius, a silver-worker, who made silver boxes for the images of Diana, and gave no small profit to the workmen;
Sapagka't may isang taong nagngangalang Demetrio, pandaypilak, na gumagawa ng maliliit na dambanang pilak ni Diana, ay nagbibigay ng hindi kakaunting hanap-buhay sa mga panday;
25 Whom he got together, with other workmen of the same trade, and said to them, Men, it is clear that from this business we get our wealth.
Na sila'y kaniyang tinipon pati ng mga manggagawa ng mga gayong gawa, at sinabi, Mga Ginoo, talastas ninyo na nagsisiyaman tayo sa hanap-buhay na ito.
26 And you see, for it has come to your ears, that not only at Ephesus, but almost all through Asia, this Paul has been teaching numbers of people and turning them away, saying that those are not gods who are made by men's hands:
At inyong nakikita at naririnig, na hindi lamang sa Efeso, kundi halos sa buong Asia, ay nakaakit ang Pablong ito at naghiwalay ng maraming mga tao, na sinasabing hindi raw mga dios, ang mga ginagawa ng mga kamay:
27 And there is danger, not only that our trade may be damaged in the opinion of men, but that the holy place of the great goddess Diana may be no longer honoured, and that she to whom all Asia and the world give worship, will be put down from her high position.
At hindi lamang may panganib na mawalang kapurihan ang hanapbuhay nating ito; kundi naman ang templo ng dakilang diosa Diana ay mawawalan ng halaga, at hanggang sa malugso ang kadakilaan niya na sinasamba ng buong Asia at ng sanglibutan.
28 And hearing this, they were very angry, crying out and saying, Great is Diana of Ephesus.
At nang marinig nila ito'y nangapuno sila ng galit, at nangagsigawan, na nagsipagsabi, Dakila ang Diana ng mga taga Efeso.
29 And the town was full of noise and trouble, and they all came running into the theatre, having taken by force Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia who were journeying in company with Paul.
At napuno ng kaguluhan ang bayan: at pinagkaisahan nilang lusubin ang dulaan, na sinunggaban si Gayo at si Aristarco, mga lalaking taga Macedonia, na kasama ni Pablo sa paglalakbay.
30 And when Paul was about to go in to the people, the disciples did not let him.
At nang inakala ni Pablo na pasukin ang mga tao, ay hindi siya tinulutan ng mga alagad.
31 And some of the rulers of Asia, being his friends, sent to him, requesting him seriously not to put himself in danger by going into the theatre.
At ang ilan din naman sa mga puno sa Asia, palibhasa'y kaniyang mga kaibigan, ay nangagpasugo sa kaniya at siya'y pinakiusapang huwag siyang pumaroon sa dulaan.
32 And some said one thing, and some another: for there was no order in the meeting; and most of them had no idea why they had come together.
At ang iba nga'y sumisigaw ng isang bagay, at ang iba'y iba naman: sapagka't ang pulong ay nasa kaguluhan; at hindi maalaman ng karamihan kung bakit sila'y nangagkatipon.
33 Then they took Alexander out from among the people, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander, making a sign with his hand, was about to make a statement to the people in answer:
At kanilang inilabas si Alejandro sa karamihan, na siya'y itinutulak ng mga Judio sa dakong harap. At inihudyat ang kamay ni Alejandro, at ibig sanang magsanggalang sa harapan ng bayan.
34 But when they saw that he was a Jew, all of them with one voice went on crying out for about two hours, Great is Diana of Ephesus.
Datapuwa't nang matalastas nilang siya'y Judio, ay nangagkaisang lahat na mangagsigawan sa loob halos ng dalawang oras, Dakila ang Diana ng mga Efeso.
35 And when the chief secretary had got the people quiet, he said, Men of Ephesus, is any man without knowledge that the town of Ephesus is the keeper of the holy place of the great Diana, who was sent down from Jupiter?
At nang mapatahimik na ng kalihim-bayan ang karamihan, ay kaniyang sinabi, Kayong mga lalaking taga Efeso, sino sa mga tao ang hindi nakakaalam na ang bayan ng mga Efeso ay tagapagingat ng templo ng dakilang Diana, at ng larawang nahulog mula kay Jupiter?
36 So then, because these things may not be doubted, it would be better for you to be quiet, and do nothing unwise.
Yamang hindi nga maikakaila ang mga bagay na ito, ay dapat kayong magsitahimik, at huwag magsigawa ng anomang bagay sa madalian.
37 For you have taken these men, who are not doing damage to the holy place or talking against our goddess.
Sapagka't dinala ninyo rito ang mga taong ito, na hindi mga mangloloob sa templo, ni mga mamumusong man sa ating diosa.
38 If, then, Demetrius and the workmen who are with him have a protest to make against any man, the law is open to them, and there are judges; let them put up a cause at law against one another.
Kung si Demetrio nga, at ang mga panday na kasama niya, ay mayroong anomang sakdal laban sa kanino man, ay bukas ang mga hukuman, at may mga proconsul: bayaan ninyong mangagsakdal ang isa't isa.
39 But if any other business is in question, let it be taken up in the regular meeting.
Datapuwa't kung may inuusig kayo sa ano pa mang ibang mga bagay, ay mahahatulan sa karaniwang kapulungan.
40 For, truly, we are in danger of being made responsible for this day's trouble, there being no cause for it: and we are not able to give any reason for this coming together.
Sapagka't totoong nanganganib tayo na mangasakdal tungkol sa pagkakagulo sa araw na ito, palibhasa'y walang anomang kadahilanan: at tungkol dito ay hindi tayo makapagbibigay sulit tungkol sa pagkakatipong ito.
41 And when he had said this, he sent the meeting away.
At nang siya'y makapagsalitang gayon, ay pinaalis niya ang kapulungan.
