Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,
Apollos-na Corinth-ta leiringeida, Paul-na manung changsinna leiba lambida laklaga Ephesus-ta thunglammi. Mapham aduda tung-inba khara thengnarammi
2 he said to them, Did ye receive [the] Holy Spirit when ye had believed? And they [said] to him, We did not even hear if [the] Holy Spirit was [come].
aduga mahakna makhoida hanglak-i, “Nakhoina thajaba matamda Thawai asengba phangkhibra?” Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “Thawai Asengba ama lei haiba phaoba eikhoidi tajadri.”
3 And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John.
“Adu oirabadi nakhoina loukhiba baptize adu karambano?” haina Paul-na hanglak-i. Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “John-gi baptize toubiba aduni.”
4 And Paul said, John indeed baptised [with] the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus.
Maduda Paul-na hairak-i, “John-gi baptize touba adudi paptagi pukning honglaba makhoigini. Mahakki tungda lengbirakliba Ibungo Jisubu thajanaba mahakna Israel-gi misingda hairammi.”
5 And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.
Masi tabada makhoina Ibungo Jisugi mingda baptize lourammi.
6 And Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
Paul-na makhoigi mathakta khut thambibada Thawai Asengbana makhoigi mathakta lengthabiraklammi aduga makhoina atoppa lon nganglammi amasung Tengban Mapugi wa phongdoklammi.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Mapham aduda makhoi punna mi taranithoirom leirammi.
8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading [the things] concerning the kingdom of God.
Paul-na synagogue-ta changduna tha ahum chupna misingga thouna phana wa nganglammi, Tengban Mapugi leibakki maramda makhoiga khanna neinaduna makhoibu thajahannaba hotnarammi.
9 But when some were hardened and disbelieved, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
Adubu makhoi kharadi thamoi kallammi amasung thajou haiba yaramde aduga mi pumnamakki mamangda Mapu Ibungogi Lambi adugi maramda phattana nganglammi. Maram aduna Paul-na makhoibu thadokle aduga mahakna thajabasingbu puraga Tyrannus-ki mahei tampham sangda numit khudinggi khanna neinarammi.
10 And this took place for two years, so that all that inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Masi chahi ani chatharammi, maram aduna Asia-gi lamda leiba mi pumnamakna Jihudi oirabasu Jihudi nattabasing oirabasu Mapu Ibungogi wa tajakhi.
11 And God wrought no ordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
Paul-gi mapanna Tengban Mapuna thoidok hendokpa angakpa thabaksing tourammi.
12 so that even napkins or aprons were brought from his body [and put] upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits went out.
Paul-na sijinnaruraba khutpaiphi nattraga phi phaobana anabasinggi maphamda purakpada makhoigi anabasing pharammi amadi phattaba thawaisingna makhoidaggi thokkhirammi.
13 And certain of the Jewish exorcists also, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wicked spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.
Mapham amadagi mapham amada koichat chattuna phattaba thawaisingbu tanthokpa Jihudi khara leirammi. Makhoinasu Ibungo Jisugi ming sijinnaduna tanthoknaba hotnarammi. Makhoina phattaba thawaising aduda hairak-i, “Paul-na sandokpa Jisugi mingda nakhoi thoklaknaba eina yathang piri.”
14 And there were certain [men], seven sons of Sceva, Jewish high priest, who were doing this.
Athoiba Purohit Sceva-gi machanupa taretna masi toubani.
15 But the wicked spirit answering said to them, Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but ye, who are ye?
Adubu phattaba thawai aduna makhoida hairak-i, “Eina Jisubu khang-i, Paul-busu khang-i adubu nakhoidi kanano?”
16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped upon them, and having mastered both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Adudagi phattaba thawai changba nupa aduna makhoigi mathakta chongsillaktuna makhoi pumnamakpu khudum challammi. Adudagi makhoina maphi marol yaodana sok panduna yum adudagi chenthoraklammi.
17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who inhabited Ephesus, and fear fell upon all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Ephesus-ta leiba Jihudising amadi Greek-ki mising pumnamakna masi tabada akiba poklammi amadi Ibungo Jisugi mingbu henna ikai khumnarammi.
18 And many of those that believed came confessing and declaring their deeds.
Thajakhraba mioi kayana thoraktuna makhoina toukhiba phattabasing adu phongna haidoklammi.
19 And many of those that practised curious arts brought their books [of charms] and burnt them before all. And they reckoned up the prices of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Hikap yaikappa touba mi kayanasu makhoigi lairiksing adu puthoraktuna miyam mamangda mei thadoklammi. Makhoina lairiksing adugi mamal pathokpada punna lupa mayek lising yangkhei oirammi.
20 Thus with might the word of the Lord increased and prevailed.
Matou asumna Mapu Ibungogi wahei adu pak sanna sandoklammi amadi panggal hen-gatlammi.
21 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome also.
Thoudoksing asi thoklaba matungda Paul-na Macedonia amadi Achaia phaoraga Jerusalem-da chatnaba leplammi. Mahakna hairak-i, “Eina mapham aduda chatlaba tungda Rome-dasu ei chatpa tai.”
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those ministering to him, Timotheus and Erastus, he remained himself awhile in Asia.
Mahakpu mateng pangliba Timothy amasung Erastus-pu mahakna Macedonia-da tharammi aduga mahakna Asia-da matam kharaga leitharammi.
23 And there took place at that time no small disturbance about the way.
Matam aduwaida Mapu Ibungogi Lambi adugi maramda Ephesus-ta achouba irang ama thoklammi.
24 For a certain [man] by name Demetrius, a silver-beater, making silver temples of Artemis, brought no small gain to the artisans;
Maramdi Demetrius kouba lupagi potchei saba nupa amana Artemis lairembigi laisanggi mawongda lupagi laisang machasing sarammi. Aduga mahakki thabak asina khutsa heibasingda kanaba yamna pirammi.
25 whom having brought together, and those who wrought in such things, he said, Men, ye know that our well-living arises from this work,
Maram aduna mahakna makhoibu amadi sinpham asiga mari leinaba thabaksuba pumnamak kouraga hairak-i, “Marupsa, sinpham asidagi eikhoina sel yamna phanglibani haiba nakhoina khangliba aduni.
26 and ye see and hear that this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great crowd, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying that they are no gods which are made with hands.
Houjik Paul hairiba nupa asina touriba asi nakhoina uriba amadi taribani. Eikhoi mioibagi khutna saba laisingdi Tengban Mapu natte haiduna Ephesus asida leiba mising amadi Asia-gi mapham ayambada mi mayam amabu mahakna thajahalle.
27 Now not only there is danger for us that our business come into discredit, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the whole of Asia and the world reveres.
Maram aduna eikhoigi sinpham asi khakta khudong thiningai oibata nattana matik chaorabi Artemis lairembigi sang asisu khudong thiningai oire aduga Asia pumnamak amadi taibangpan-gi mapham pumnamakta khurumlibi lairembi asigi matik magunsu manghallagani.”
28 And having heard [this], and being filled with rage, they cried out, saying, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
Makhoina masi tabada mei houna saoraduna laorak-i, “Ephesus-ki Artemis-ti matik chaobini!”
29 And the [whole] city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, having seized and carried off with [them] Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.
Sahar adugi mapham pumnamakta charangnaba aduna thallammi. Miyamsing aduna Paul-ga chatminnaba Macedonia-gi mi ani haibadi Gaius amadi Aristarchus-pu pharaga kummei yengpham sang aduda makhoi punna hotchillammi.
30 But Paul intending to go in to the people, the disciples suffered him not;
Miyam adugi mangda Paul-na thokpa pamlammi adubu thajabasingna mahakpu thinglammi.
31 and some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre.
Paul-ga tinnaba, mapham adugi angambasing aduna mahakpu kummei yengpham sang aduda thoraktanaba haijaba warol ama mangonda tharaklammi.
32 Different persons therefore cried out some different thing; for the assembly was tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come together.
Tilliba mitin adu yamna charanglammi; mi kharana wa ama laorammi aduga atei mi kharana atoppa wa amamuk laorammi maramdi mi ayambana makhoi karigi mapham aduda laklibano haiba phaoba khanglamde.
33 But from among the crowd they put forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand, would have made a defence to the people.
Miyam marakta yaoba Jihudising aduna Alexander-bu mayam mamangda inthorakpagi maramna mi kharana mahakna thok-hanbani haina khallammi. Maduda mahakna masa ngakthokchanaba wa ngangnaba mayambu tumminna leibinaba magi makhut hairammi.
34 But, recognising that he was a Jew, there was one cry from all, shouting for about two hours, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
Adubu miyam aduna mahak asi Jihudini haiba khanglaklabada makhoi pumnamakna amata oina pung anirom “Ephesus-ki Artemis-ti matik chaobini” haina laorammi.
35 And the townclerk, having quieted the crowd, said, Ephesians, what man is there then who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of Artemis the great, and of the [image] which fell down from heaven?
Akonbada sahar adugi che chang panaba aduna miyam adubu tumin leihalammi. Mahakna hairak-i. “Ephesia-gi nupasa, matik chaobi Artemis-ki laisang amadi swargadagi tarakpa mahakki murti adubu Ephesus sahar asina ngak sellibani haibasi taibangpan-gi mipum khudingmakna khang-i.
36 These things therefore being undeniable, it is necessary that ye should be calm and do nothing headlong.
Hairibasing asi kana amatana yadaba ngamde. Maram aduna nakhoina ingthapham thok-i aduga khanthadana karisu touroidabani.
37 For ye have brought these men, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your goddess.
Makhoina laisangdagi karisu huranba natte aduga eikhoigi lairembida thina ngangkhibasu leite adubu nakhoina makhoibu mapham asida purakle.
38 If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who [are] with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
Aduga Demetrius amadi mahakki khutsa heiba marup mapangsingna kanagumba amagi mathakta nungaitaba leirabadi mapham asida wayel sang amadi leingak mapusing leiri, maduda makhoina maralsing adu pukhatpa yai.
39 But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Aduga nakhoina makha tana karigumba ama pukhatpa pamlabasu wayelgi oiba miyam tinnaba aduna lepkadabani.
40 For also we are in danger to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.
Ngasi thokliba thoudok asigi matungda irang houhanbagi eikhoigi ithakta maral siba yabagi akiba lei. Irang asi thok-hanbagi maram amata leite aduga eikhoina masigidamak maram piba ngamloi.”
41 And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
Masi hairaba matungda mahakna miyam tinba adu kainahankhre.
