Acts 19
1 And it came to passe, while Apollos was at Corinthus, that Paul when he passed thorow the vpper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certaine disciples,
Kwakaba kuti Apolosi nakali mu Kkolinto, Pawulo wakayinda kuchisi chakutala wakusika kudolopo lyaku Efeso, mpawo wakakujana bamwi basikwiiya.
2 And saide vnto them, Haue ye receiued the holy Ghost since ye beleeued? And they saide vnto him, Wee haue not so much as heard whether there be an holy Ghost.
Pawulu wakabambila kuti, “Mwakawutambula na Muuya Uusalala nimwakasyoma?” Bakamusandula kuti, “Pepe, tatukwe anchitwalina kumvwa pe atala azya Muuya Uusalala.”
3 And he said vnto them, Vnto what were ye then baptized? And they saide, Vnto Iohns baptisme.
Pawulu wakati, “Mpo mwakabbabbatizigwa buyeni? Bakati, “Mulubbabbatizyo lwa-Joni.”
4 Then saide Paul, Iohn verely baptized with the baptisme of repentance, saying vnto the people, that they shoulde beleeue in him, which should come after him, that is, in Christ Iesus.
Pawulo wakabasandula, “Joni wakabbabbatizya mulubbabbatizyo lwakusanduka. Wakabambila bantu kuti bayelede kusyoma kulooyo uzobuza musule lyakwe, kali, ngu Jesu.”
5 And when they heard it, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Iesus.
Lino bantu nibakamvwa obu, bakabbabbatizigwa muzina lya-Mwami Jesu.
6 So Paul layde his handes vpon them, and the holy Ghost came on them, and they spake the tongues, and prophecied.
Pawulo nakabika maanza aakwe alimbabo, Muuya Uusalala wakaza alimbabo alimwi bakambuula muliimwi milaka akusinsiima.
7 And all the men were about twelue.
Kumweelo bakali baalumi bali kkumi ababili.
8 Moreouer he went into the Synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three moneths, disputing and exhorting to the things that appertaine to the kingdome of God.
Pawulo wakanjila muchikombelo akwambula changuzu kwamyezi yotatwe, kaambuzyania akubakombelezya atala abwami bwa-Leza.
9 But when certaine were hardened, and disobeyed, speaking euill of the way of God before the multitude, hee departed from them, and separated the disciples, and disputed dayly in the schoole of one Tyrannus.
Pesi aawo bamwi ba Juda nibakayuma myoyo akutalemeka, bakatalika kwambula bubi atala anzila ya Kkilisito kunembo lyabantu. Nkinkako Pawulu wakabasiya weenda abasikwiiya, akuyowambuzyania ambabo mazuba woonse munganda yazyiiyo yaku Tayilanasi.
10 And this was done by the space of two yeeres, so that all they which dwelt in Asia, heard the word of ye Lord Iesus, both Iewes and Grecians.
Ezi zyakachitika kwaminyaka yobile, kuchitila kuti woonse wakakkede mu Esiya amvwe ijwi lyaMwami, boonse ba-Juda ama-Giliki.
11 And God wrought no small miracles by the handes of Paul,
Leza wakalikuchita zigambyo zyiindilide kwindilila mumaboko a Pawulo,
12 So that from his body were brought vnto the sicke, kerchefs or handkerchefs, and the diseases departed from them, and the euill spirits went out of them.
Kwakali kujanika kuti itudabba azisamo zyakukwabilila itombe zyakali kumuguma zyakali kutolwa kukusilisya bachiswa malwazi kaamana amyuuya mibi kayiizwa mulimbabo.
13 Then certaine of the vagabond Iewes, exorcistes, tooke in hand to name ouer them which had euil spirits, the Name of the Lord Iesus, saying, We adiure you by Iesus, whom Paul preacheth.
Pesi kwakali ba-Juda basikulipa bakayobweenda mubusena oobo. Bakalikwita izina lya Mwami Jesu kuchitila kuti bajane nguzu zyakuzunda myuuya mibi nibakali kuti, “Kwinda muli Jesu oyo Pawulo ngwakkambawuka, ndakulayilila kuti zwa,”
14 (And there were certaine sonnes of Sceua a Iewe, the Priest, about seuen which did this)
Imupayizi mupati waba Juda, iwali kutegwa Sikkeva, wakali abana balombe bali musanu ababili bakali kuchita eezi.
15 And the euil spirit answered, and said, Iesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know: but who are ye?
Imuuya mubi wakabasandula, “Jesu ndimwizi, Pawulu ndilimwizi, pesi iwe nduweeni?”
16 And the man in whome the euil spirit was, ranne on them, and ouercame them, and preuailed against them, so that they fledde out of that house, naked, and wounded.
Imuuya mubi wakali mumuntu wakabanyansya akubazunda basikulipa wabawuma. Aawo bakali kuchija kunganda oomo kabazwa maya azilonda zyakuumwa.
17 And this was knowen to all the Iewes and Grecians also, which dwelt at Ephesus, and feare came on them all, and the Name of the Lord Iesus was magnified,
Eezi zyakazibinkana kuli boonse, ba-Juda aba Giliki, aabo bakakkede ku Efeso. Bakayowa loko, Aabobo izina lya Mwami Jesu lyakalemekwa.
18 And many that beleeued, came and confessed, and shewed their workes.
Alubo, basyomi biingi bakaza akulibeteka kabapa bupanduluzi buzwide aatala azibi nzibakali kuchita.
19 Many also of them which vsed curious artes, brought their bookes, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fiftie thousand pieces of siluer.
Basikwiiya biingi bakeeta mabbuku azibelesyo zyabo akwawumpa kunembo lyabantu boonse. anaibakaabala muulo wazyo, wakali makkumi musanu wazyuulu wazigodo zyansiliva.
20 So the worde of God grewe mightily, and preuailed.
Nkiinkako ijwi lya-Mwami lyakayendelela akusaalila changuzu mpati.
21 Nowe when these things were accomplished, Paul purposed by the Spirite to passe through Macedonia and Achaia, and to goe to Hierusalem, saying, After I haue bene there, I must also see Rome.
Lino Pawulu nakamaninsya mulimo wakwe mu-Efeso, wakayeeya ichamumumuuya kuti ayinde ku Mesodoniya aku-Akkayiya kayobuya ku Jelusalema; wakati, “Mbuli mbundali kooku, kweelede ndikabone Loma,”
22 So sent hee into Macedonia two of them that ministred vnto him, Timotheus and Erastus, but he remained in Asia for a season.
Pawulu wakazubula babili kuli bakali kumugwasya wabatuma ku Masedoniya, Timoti a Elasitasi. Pesi we lwakwe wakajana bukkala mu- Eziya kwakayindi.
23 And the same time there arose no small trouble about that way.
Ikwachindi echo tekwakaba kuchelezeka nikuba kunini mu Efeso kulangene aanzila.
24 For a certaine man named Demetrius a siluersmith, which made siluer temples of Diana, brought great gaines vnto the craftesmen,
Umwi simufula nsiliva utegwa Demetiliyasi, iwakali kubumba zikozyanisyo zyansiliva zya Diyana,
25 Whom he called together, with the workemen of like things, and saide, Syrs, ye knowe that by this craft we haue our goods:
wakeeta makweebo miingi kuli basikubeza. Nkinkaako wakabungania aamwi babelesi bawoyo mulimo akwaamba kuti, “Nobantu, mulizi kuti mulooyu mulimo tujana mali inyingi.
26 Moreouer ye see and heare, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia this Paul hath perswaded, and turned away much people, saying, That they be not gods which are made with handes.
Mulizibweene akuzimvwa eezi, teensi mu Efeso biyo pe, pesi kumasena miingi mu Eziya, Pawulu oyu wakombelezya akumwaya bantu biingi. Ulikwamba kuti baleza babumbwa amaboko teensi baleza.
27 So that not onely this thing is dangerous vnto vs, that this our portion shall be reproued, but also that the temple of the great goddesse Diana should be nothing esteemed, and that it would come to passe that her magnificence, which all Asia and the world worshippeth, should be destroyed.
Takulikwamba biyo kuti ziletelezya kuti makwebo eesu abule bulemu, pesi akuti inganda yakukombela ya mukaleza Atenisi ikonzya kuba chintu chabuyo, abulemu bwakwe bunoli bwamana, we ooyo ukkombwa a Eziya yoonse akumanyika.”
28 Now when they heard it, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Nibakazimvwa eezi, bakatulindila akunyema akukwiila, bakati, “Bulemu mbubwa Diyana waba Efeso,”
29 And the whole citie was full of confusion, and they rushed into the common place with one assent, and caught Gaius, and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, and Pauls companions of his iourney.
Idolopo lyoonse lyakanyongana, alimwi bantu bakachijana amuzeezo womwe kabanjila muchibunganino. Bakajata basindikizi ba-Pawulu, Gayiyasi a Alisitachasi, aabo ibakazwa ku Mesodoniya.
30 And when Paul would haue entred in vnto the people, the disciples suffred him not.
Pawulu wakali kuyanda kunjila mumoomo mumpuumba yabantu, pesi basikwiiya bakamukasya.
31 Certaine also of the chiefe of Asia which were his friendes, sent vnto him, desiring him that hee woulde not present him selfe in the Common place.
Alimwi, bamwi bapati bachilikiti cha Eziya ibakali beenzinyina bakatuma ijwi lyakumukombelezya kuti atanjili pe muchibunganino.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assemblie was out of order, and the more part knewe not wherefore they were come together.
Bamwi bantu bakali kutambuzya limwi ijwi, abamwi kabatambuzya ilimbi, nkambo ilubunga olu lwakalinyongene, Ibiingi babo tebakazi biya pe akuti babunganina anzi.
33 And some of the company drew foorth Alexander, the Iewes thrusting him forwards. Alexander then beckened with the hande, and woulde haue excused the matter to the people.
Bamwi balubunga bakanyenyebwida Alekizanda, ooyo iwakali kutunziigwa kunembo aba-Juda. Mpawo Alekizanda wakatambika kuboko kwakwe, kayanda kukazya mumuswangano.
34 But when they knew that he was a Iewe, there arose a shoute almost for the space of two houres, of all men crying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Pesi aawo nibakamuzida kuti mu Juda, boonse bakakwiila ajwi lyoomwe kwamahoola obile, kabamba kuti, “Ibulemu mbubwa Atenisi waba Efeso.”
35 Then the towne clearke when hee had stayed the people, saide, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is it that knoweth not howe that the citie of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddesse Diana, and of the image, which came downe from Iupiter?
Nakawumuzya luundu imulembi wadolopo, wakati, “Inywe nobantu baku Efeso, ngwani mwalumi uuliwo uutazi kuti idolopo lyaba Efeso mubambi wachikombelo cha mupati Atenisi achikozyanio ichakawida aansi kuzwa kujulu?
36 Seeing then that no man can speake against these things, ye ought to be appeased, and to doe nothing rashly.
Nakabona lino kuti eezi zintu tazikakiki pe, ziyanda kuti walyumunizya kotachiti chamawiliwili.
37 For yee haue brought hither these men, which haue neither committed sacrilege, neither doe blaspheme your goddesse.
Kaambo weeta baalumi aaba kulubeta kabatali babbi bazikombelo na basikusampawula izimuleza wesu.
38 Wherefore, if Demetrius and the craftes men which are with him, haue a matter against any man, the lawe is open, and there are Deputies: let them accuse one another.
Nkikaako, ikuti Demetiliyasi abasikubeza mbalabo kabali amuntu ngubapa mulandu, inkuta ilijulidwe ababeleka twambo mpobali. Ngabapane mulandu chabochabo.
39 But if ye inquire any thing cocerning other matters, it may be determined in a lawful assembly.
Pesi kuti kakuli nzoyanduula aatala azimwi zyaambo, ziyobambwa mumuswangano uzibinkeene.
40 For we are euen in ieopardie to be accused of this dayes sedition, for as much as there is no cause, whereby we may giue a reason of this concourse of people.
Kambo nchoonzyo tuli muntenda zyakupegwa mulandu aatala ankondo yasunu. Takwelede pe kuti kube kunyongana oku, alimwi tatukozokonzya pe kuzipandulula,”
41 And when he had thus spoken, hee let the assembly depart.
Nakamana kwamba boobo, wakajala muswangano bakotoka.
