Acts 19
1 Now it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus. And finding certain disciples
A ni ansau Apolus mi Korint, Paulus kotin kakan sili sap en pali poa kan, ap lele dong Episus wasa a diarada tounpadak kai.
2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “But we have not so much as heard that there is a Holy Spirit!”
A kotin masani ong irail: Komail aleer Ngen saraui ni omail posonlar? Irail potoan ong i: Se sota man rong, me Ngen saraui mia.
3 So he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” So they said, “Into John's baptism.”
A ap kotin masani: A is, me komail paptais ong? Irail inda: Ong paptais en Ioanes.
4 So Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe into the One who would come after him, that is, into Jesus, the Christ.”
Paulus masani: Ioanes paptais ki paptais en kalula, ni a masani ong aramas akan, me ren poson i me pan pwarado mur i, i Iesus.
5 So upon hearing this they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Irail lao rongadar met, re ap paptais ong mar en Kaun Iesus.
6 And as Paul laid his hands on them the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they started speaking languages and prophesying.
Paulus lao kotin pwil po’rail lim a kan, Ngen saraui ap kotidi po’rail, irail ari lokaia ngil toror pasang o deideikop.
7 There were about twelve men in all.
A ir ol oko me ekriamen.
8 During three months Paul kept going to the synagogue and speaking boldly, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the Kingdom of God.
I ari kotin purepure nan sinakoke o aima padapadak saunipong silu, kapakaparok o kawewedar meakan duen wein Kot.
9 But when some became hardened and disobedient, maligning the Way before the crowd, he withdrew from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of a certain Tyrannus.
A akai lao kapitakailar, o so poson, o lokelokaia sued ong aramas akan duen lamalam, a ap saupei sang irail o katorela tounpadak kan, o padapadaki ong irail nan im en padak en Tiranus
10 Now this continued for two years, so that all who lived in Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the Word of the Lord Jesus.
Mepukat wiauier saunpar riau; toun Asien karos ari rongada masan en Kaun o, men Sus o men Krik karos.
11 Further, God kept working unusual miracles by the hands of Paul,
O Kot me kotin wia kida lim en Paulus manaman kapuriamui akan.
12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that he touched were applied to the sick, and the diseases left them and the wicked spirits went out from them.
Re pil aleer lim en pudo o likau moa sang pali war a, pwilikidi ong me somau kan, somau o ap sare sang, o ngen sued akan keredi sang.
13 Well some among the itinerant Jewish exorcists attempted to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had wicked spirits saying, “We adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
Men Sus widingok kai, me kin koko sili kati ani, ap song sakaraki dong irail, me tanwar en ngen sued kai, mar en Kaun Iesus, indada: Kit kaukilang komail Iesus, me Paulus kin padapadak due.
14 In fact there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who were doing this.
A ol isimen mia nain samaro lapalap Skepas, ol en Sus amen, me wiadar mepukat.
15 But a particular wicked spirit reacted and said, “Jesus I know, and I am acquainted with Paul, but who are you?”
A ngen sued sapeng irail indada: I asa Iesus, o i asa duen Paulus, a komail, is komail?
16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was jumped on them and overpowered them; he was so much stronger that they ran out of that house naked and wounded.
A aramas o, me ngen sued mi poa, ap luse dong irail o kaloe irail edi. Ir ari tanga sang nan im o kiliso o kili olar.
17 Now this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being exalted.
A met lok sili ren men Sus o Krik akan, me kauson Episus. O masak kipa irail edi, o mar en Kaun Iesus me lomuinlar kaualap.
18 And many of those who had believed started coming, confessing and disclosing their practices.
O me iang posonlar me toto kodo weokadar o kasaledar arail wiawia kan.
19 In fact, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them up, in front of everybody (they had calculated their value and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver).
O pil me toto, me kati ani, wa pena nairail puk o isik ir ada mon karos; ir ari wadok pwain ar o diar, me a dok ong moni limenen.
20 With power like that it was that the word of the Lord kept growing and prevailing.
Masan en Kaun ari pwaidar kaualap.
21 Now after these things were accomplished, Paul resolved in his spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
Murin mepukat Paulus ap kotin inong iong ni ngen e kakan sili wein Masetonien o Akaia, ap kotilang Ierusalem masanidar: I lao milar wasa o, i pil pan kilang Rom.
22 So he sent two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, on to Macedonia, while he himself stayed on in Asia for a time.
I ari kadarala Masetonien riamen, kisan me papa i: Timoteus o Erastus. A pein i kotikoteta mas nan Asien.
23 Now it was during that time that a serious disturbance concerning the Way occurred.
I ansau me moromorong laud wiauier pweki lamalam.
24 A certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, habitually brought in plenty of business for the artisans;
Pwe amen, me ad a Demetrius, saunmata amen, me kin wiada im en kaudok silper kan ong Diana, me kare ong irail, me kin wiawiada, moni toto.
25 he called them together, along with the workmen in related trades, and said: “Men, you know that our prosperity depends on this trade.
I ap kapokon irail pena o toun dodok en song ota indada: Maing ko, komail asa, me dodok wet meid kadepa ong kitail, pwe i me kitail kapwapwaki.
26 And you observe and hear that not only in Ephesus but throughout almost all Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that handmade things are not gods.
A komail kilekilang o rongerong, me Paulus men et kin kaloedi o kawukila aramas toto a kaidin nan Episus eta, pwe pil koren iong nan Asien pon, ni a kin padaki ong aramas akan, me dene kaidin irail kot akan, me wiaui pan pa en aramas akan.
27 So not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be discredited, and even her own majesty be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.”
Mepukat meid apwal ong kitail. Pwe kaidin atail dodok eta me pan kamala, pwe pil im kaudok en kot Diana lapalap o a lingan, me toun Asien o sappa karos kin kaudoki ong pan sorela.
28 Now upon hearing this they were filled with anger and began shouting, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Irail lao ronger mepukat, re ap makara kida kaualap o weriweradar indada: Meid lapalap Diana en men Episus!
29 So the whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed into the theater with one accord (they had seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's traveling companions).
A karos toun kanim o ap pingidar, wiaki eu, tangalang im en madong, tangaki Kaios o Aristarkus men Masetonien, me waroki ong Paulus oko.
30 When Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not let him.
A Paulus lao pan kotilong nan pokon o, tounpadak kan ap sota mueid ong i.
31 Even some of the officials of Asia, being his friends, sent word to him and urged him not to venture into the theater.
O saumas en Asien kai, me kompokepa kan, ilake dong i, panaui i, ender kotilang im en madong o.
32 The assembly was in confusion: some were shouting one thing and some another; most of them did not know why they had come together.
Ari, akai wia eu song en lokaia, a akai eu, pwe pokon o pingidar. A me toto re’rail sasa karep en ar pokon pena.
33 Then the Jews pushed Alexander forward, out from the crowd. So Alexander motioned with his hand and would have made a defense to the people.
Irail sikon sang nan pokon o Aleksander; Sus oko me sikonla i. A Aleksander olol ong irail, ap men sapeng pokon o.
34 But when they realized he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Irail lao asa, me i kisan Sus oko, re ap wiaki eu weriwerada auer riau: Meid lapalap Diana en men Episus!
35 When the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said: “Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple guardian of the great goddess Artemis and of what fell from Zeus?
A sauninting en kanim o lao kadukiedi pokon o, ap indada: Komail ol oko en Episus, is aramas, me sasa, me kanim en men Episus kin kaukaudoki ong Diana lapalap o dikedik, me pupedi sang nanlang?
36 Therefore, since these things are undeniable, you ought to be quiet and not do anything rash.
A ma sota, me pan kak kalikame mepukat, komail en nenenla o der wiada me sapung!
37 You have arrested these men who are neither temple thieves nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Pwe komail ukedo ol pukat, me sota kin kuliada im en kaudok o, pil sota lalaue omail kot li.
38 Now if Demetrius and his fellow artisans have a complaint against anyone, courts are available, and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges against one another.
A ma Demetrius o iang a kan mauki meakot ren amen, kapung ap pan wiaui, pwe saunkapung kai mia, ren kapukapung re’rail.
39 But if you want to debate any other matter, it will be settled in the legal assembly.
A ma komail mauki eu song toror, i me pan kapungala nan kapung o.
40 Indeed, we are in danger of being charged with a riot, because of today, there being no reason at all that we can give to account for this commotion.”
Pwe kitail pan pukoki morong en ran wet, pwe sota karepen, me kitail en kapungki pokon wet ar tangatang pena.
41 And having said these things he dismissed the assembly.
A lao masani ong irail mepukat, ap kadar pasang pokon o.
