< Acts 19 >
1 And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
Ri Apolos kꞌo pa ri tinimit Corinto, are kꞌu ri Pablo xikꞌow pa taq tinimit ri naqaj e kꞌo wi, kꞌa te riꞌ xopan pa ri tinimit Éfeso, chilaꞌ xuꞌriq wi e kꞌi kojonelabꞌ.
2 And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.
Xuta chike: ¿La xikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel are xixkojonik? Man xqakꞌamawaꞌj taj, xechaꞌ. Man e qetaꞌm taj we kꞌo Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
3 And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John’s baptism.
¿Jachin chike qasanaꞌ xikꞌamawaꞌj ix? Are ri qasanaꞌ rech ri Juan, xecha che.
4 Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.
Ri Pablo xubꞌij chike: Ri qasanaꞌ ri xubꞌan ri Juan, xubꞌano rech kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx ri winaq che kimak xubꞌij kꞌu chike ri winaq chi rajawaxik kekojon che ri kape na, ri Jesús.
5 Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Are xetoꞌtaj chutatabꞌexik ri xbꞌix chike, xbꞌan kiqasanaꞌ pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesús.
6 And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
Are xuya ri uqꞌabꞌ ri Pablo pa kiwiꞌ, xqaj ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel pa kiwiꞌ, xechꞌaw pa juleꞌ taq chꞌabꞌal chik, xuqujeꞌ xkiqꞌalajisaj ri utzij ri Dios.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
E kabꞌlajuj achyabꞌ chkonojel.
8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.
Ri Pablo oxibꞌ ikꞌ xtzijonik xuqujeꞌ xmenkꞌetinik chirij ri ajawarem rech ri Dios pa ri Sinagoga.
9 But when some were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord, before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
E kꞌo jujun man xkaj taj xekojon che ri utzij ri Jesús, xkichapleꞌj ubꞌixik itzel taq jastaq chike ri kojonelabꞌ chikiwach konojel ri winaq. Rumal riꞌ, ri Pablo xel bꞌik pa ri Sinagoga, xuꞌkꞌam bꞌik ri kojonelabꞌ, amaqꞌel, xtzijon kukꞌ pa ri ja tijobꞌal re ri achi ubꞌiꞌnam Tirano. Xuchoqꞌ uwach ri xbꞌix che.
10 And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.
Kebꞌ junabꞌ jewaꞌ xkꞌulmatajik xaq jeriꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj ri e kꞌo pa taq ri tinimit rech Asia, xkitatabꞌej ri utzij ri Ajawxel.
11 And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.
Ri Dios kꞌut xuya kwinem che ri Pablo kubꞌan nimaq taq kꞌutbꞌal xuqujeꞌ kunanik.
12 So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the wicked spirits went out of them.
Ri yawabꞌibꞌ kekunatajik are kaya ri kisuꞌt xuqujeꞌ chꞌuqbꞌal taq kichꞌek chirij ri Pablo xuqujeꞌ ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal keꞌl bꞌik chike.
13 Now some also of the Jewish exorcists who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.
Kꞌo kꞌu jun wok winaq aꞌj Israel ri kewaꞌkat pa taq kiꞌ tinimit, keꞌkesaj itzel taq uxlabꞌal, kakikoj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesús, kakibꞌij: Pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Jesús ri kutzijoj ri Pablo, katqesaj bꞌik itzel uxlabꞌal.
14 And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.
Ri kebꞌanow we riꞌ are ri e wuqubꞌ ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Esceva, jun pare kꞌamal bꞌe.
15 But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?
Junmul kꞌut are xkaj jewaꞌ xkibꞌano, ri itzel uxlabꞌal xubꞌij chike: Wetaꞌm uwach ri Jesús, xuqujeꞌ wetaꞌm jachin riꞌ ri Pablo, ¿ix jachin kꞌu ri ix?
16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them, and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Ri achi kꞌut ri kꞌo itzel uxlabꞌal che, xukꞌyaq ribꞌ chikij rukꞌ chꞌuꞌjilal, xkixiꞌxitej kꞌu kibꞌ, xkiriq kꞌax xuqujeꞌ kechꞌanchꞌatik xebꞌe cho kachoch.
17 And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
We kꞌulmatajik riꞌ xetaꞌmataj kumal konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Éfeso, winaq aꞌj Israel, xuqujeꞌ winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, konojel xkixiꞌj kibꞌ, rumal riꞌ xkinimarisaj uqꞌij ri Ajawxel Jesús.
18 And many of them that believed, came confessing and declaring their deeds.
E kꞌi chike ri winaq ri xekojonik, xkitzujuj kibꞌ che ri man utz taj ri kibꞌanom kan nabꞌe.
19 And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
E kꞌi xuqujeꞌ chike ri kakibꞌan kan itzinik nabꞌe xkikꞌam loq ri kiwuj ri rech itzibꞌal, xkiporoj chkiwach konojel ri winaq. Ri rajil ri wuj ri xkiporoj, are kawinaq lajuj mil qꞌana pwaq.
20 So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.
E kꞌi winaq xekojonik rumal ronojel ri xkꞌulmatajik.
21 And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.
Ri Pablo xuchomaj kisolixik ri tinimit rech Macedonia, rech Acaya, are majaꞌ keꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén. Xuchomaj chi we xtoꞌtaj pa Jerusalén, rajawaxik keꞌ pa ri tinimit Roma.
22 And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.
Xuꞌtaq kꞌu bꞌik ri Timoteo rachiꞌl ri Erasto, kebꞌ chike ri ketobꞌan rukꞌ, xebꞌe pa Macedonia. Are kꞌu ri areꞌ xkanaj kan jun janipa qꞌij pa Asia.
23 Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ xchapleꞌtaj jun chꞌoꞌj chkixoꞌl ri winaq pa ri tinimit Éfeso rumal ri utz laj tzij rech ri kꞌakꞌ taq tzij.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;
Kꞌo kꞌu jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Demetrio. Jun chꞌayal chꞌichꞌ ri kubꞌan alaj taq ja che saq pwaq karesaj uwach ri rachoch ri Diana ri kidios ri winaq aꞌj Éfeso, nima pwaq kakichꞌek ri achyabꞌ ri kechakun rukꞌ.
25 Whom he calling together, with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade;
Ri Demetrio xuꞌmulij ajchakibꞌ, xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj achyabꞌ ri junam kichak rukꞌ, xubꞌij chike: Iwetaꞌm chi nim tajin kiqachꞌek chrij we chak riꞌ.
26 And you see and hear, that this Paul by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: They are not gods which are made by hands.
Kiwil bꞌa ri achi Pablo, kubꞌij chi we tzꞌaq riꞌ e winaq e bꞌanowinaq man e dios taj. Man xwi ta kꞌu ukojom kikꞌuꞌx ri winaq pa Éfeso, xane ukojom kikꞌuꞌx konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Asia.
27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing; yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
We man nim chik kilik ri templo rech ri Diana, kasach uwach waꞌ we qakꞌay, sibꞌalaj kꞌax riꞌ. Man kaya ta chi kꞌu uqꞌij we nimalaj dios ri kaqꞌijilax kumal konojel ri winaq aꞌj Asia, xuqujeꞌ kumal konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew.
28 Having heard these things, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Ri winaq are xkita ri xbꞌix chike, sibꞌalaj xpe koyawal, xkiraq kichiꞌ, xkibꞌij: ¡Nim uqꞌij ri Diana ri kidios ri aꞌj Éfeso!
29 And the whole city was filled with confusion; and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
Konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit xkikꞌyaq kibꞌ chikij ri Gayo, xuqujeꞌ ri Aristarco are waꞌ ri achyabꞌ aꞌj Macedonia e rachiꞌl ri Pablo. Ri winaq xeꞌkicharchatej bꞌik xeꞌkikꞌam bꞌik pa ri kꞌolibꞌal ri kakimulij wi kibꞌ ri winaq.
30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
Ri Pablo are xraj xok bꞌik chikixoꞌl ri winaq, ri kojonelabꞌ man xkiya ta bꞌe che.
31 And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre.
E kꞌo xuqujeꞌ jujun qꞌatal tzij rech ri tinimit Asia, kech chꞌabꞌeꞌn ri Pablo, xkitaq ubꞌixik che chi man kok ta chkixoꞌl ri winaq.
32 Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together.
Ri winaq ri kimulim kibꞌ xkiraq kichiꞌ, xkibꞌij jaljoj taq jastaq. E kꞌi chike man ketaꞌm taj jas che kimulim kibꞌ.
33 And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction.
Kꞌo kꞌu jun achi aj Israel chilaꞌ ubꞌiꞌ Alejandro, xkichꞌikmayij bꞌik rech kubꞌij jas tajin kakꞌulmatajik. Ri Alejandro xuyak ri uqꞌabꞌ rech man kechꞌaw ta na ri winaq.
34 But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Ri winaq are xkichꞌobꞌo chi ri Alejandro aj Israel, konojel xkiraq kichiꞌ, xkibꞌij: ¡Nim uqꞌij ri Diana, ri kidios ri aꞌj Éfeso!
35 And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of Jupiter’s offspring.
Xpe kꞌu jun qꞌatal tzij rech ri tinimit xkwinik xuꞌtanabꞌa ri winaq, xubꞌij chike: Achyabꞌ aꞌj Éfeso, konojel ri winaq ketaꞌm chi we tinimit Éfeso are e chajil re ri utemplo ri qadios Diana, ri utzꞌaqil xa xqaj loq chikaj.
36 For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Qetaꞌm kꞌut chi man kꞌo ta jun ri mat retaꞌm. Xaq jeriꞌ makiyak ta chꞌoꞌj, qas chichomaj na ri kibꞌano.
37 For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.
We achyabꞌ we iꞌkꞌamom loq man kꞌo ta jun awas kibꞌanom, maj jastaq keleqꞌam pa ri templo, man e yoqꞌoꞌwinaq ta che ri qaDiana, ri qadios.
38 But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
Ri Demetrio xuqujeꞌ ri rajchakibꞌ we kꞌo kichꞌoꞌj rukꞌ jachinaq, are kipatan ri qꞌatal taq tzij xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌatbꞌal taq tzij ri e kꞌolik. Chilaꞌ jeꞌkibꞌij wi jachike ri kꞌo pa kanimaꞌ.
39 And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.
We kꞌo chi ne jun jastaq ri kiwaj, kuyaꞌo kibꞌij chaqe rech kaqamulij qibꞌ chuchomaxik.
40 For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse.
Xibꞌibꞌal riꞌ we kabꞌix chaqe chi xa man kujniman ta chike ri ketaqan pa qawiꞌ, xa rumal ri xbꞌantaj waral kamik. Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij riꞌ we xta chaqe ri xkꞌulmataj kamik qetaꞌm uj chi man kꞌo ta rumal.
41 And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
Are xtoꞌtaj ri qꞌatal tzij chubꞌixik we tzij riꞌ xuꞌtaq bꞌik ri winaq cho taq kachoch.
