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,
Kubatendahali buti kuti Apolosi nena kwa Korinte, paulusi abahiti kwiulu lyekanda mi abezi kwa Efese, mi nicheza kuwana barutwana bamwi kwateni.
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.
Paulusi nichati kubali, “Mubatambuli luhuho lujolola na hamubazumini?” Chibamucho kuti, “Nee, kakwina mane ni chitubazuwi kuamana ni Luhuho Lujolola.”
3 And he said vnto them, Vnto what were ye then baptized? And they saide, Vnto Iohns baptisme.
Paulusi abati, “Linu mubakolobezwa muchinzi?” Ni chibati, “Munkolobezo ya Joani,
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.
Linu Paulusi netaba, “Joani abakolobezi chenkolobezo yenswalelo. Abawambili bantu kuti bayelele kuzumina kumuntu yokeza mwisule lyakwe, kokuta kuti, nji kwa Jesu.”
5 And when they heard it, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Iesus.
Bantu habazuwa bulyo, nibakolobezwa mwizina lya Simwine Jesu.
6 So Paul layde his handes vpon them, and the holy Ghost came on them, and they spake the tongues, and prophecied.
Imi linu Paulusi habatula mayanza hewulu, Luhuho Lujolola nichilwabenjila mi nibawamba mundimi zisiyenesiyene mi nibatanikiza zikezite.
7 And all the men were about twelue.
Kuhindilila bonse ibali bakwame babali kulikana ikumi ni bobele.
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.
Paulusi nenjila mwisinagoge mi nawamba chabundume munako ikwanisa myezi yotatwe. Abaetelele ziambantu ni ku kutolokla bantu kuti bazuwisise kuamana nimubuso we Ireeza.
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.
Nihaike majuda kana babakuzuwisisa nikusatwaliza cibatanga ku wambi zivi ni kulyefula Kreste. Paulusi cabasiya nikuzwila habusu nibabazumini. Catanga kuwamba izuba nizuba munzubo yakulutila ya Tyrannus.
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.
Abazwili habusu kuwamba zilimo zobele kuti mane nibantu bekala mwa Asia, Judea ni mwa Greek bazuwe linzwi lye Ireeza.
11 And God wrought no small miracles by the handes of Paul,
Ireeza aba kupanga zimpangaliko zijolola ca mayanza a Paulusi,
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.
mane ni balwala babali kuhola, Niluhuho lubilala luba kuzwa kubali, Habahinda kataulo ni ka apron hamubili wa Paulusi.
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.
Kubena Majuda baba likwina mulieto lya kuyabuyenda muzilalo kulola babahindi izina lya Jesu kulisebelisa mubasakila abobene, Baba kukabuiwamba kubantu bana bena luhuho lubilala feela; Cibawamba, “Nimilaela cha Jesu yabali kuwambiwa kwa Paulusi kuti muyende.”
14 (And there were certaine sonnes of Sceua a Iewe, the Priest, about seuen which did this)
Baba tendi izo babali bakwame batenda iyanza ni bobele bana ba mupurita mukulwana wa majuda, wezina lya Sceva.
15 And the euil spirit answered, and said, Iesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know: but who are ye?
Luhuho lubilala lubabetabi, “Nizi Jesu, ni Paulusi; cwale iwe njewe ni?”
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.
Luhuho lubilala lubena kumuntu cilwa mukoma kumubulisa ziho cawila hanzi ni kubakaba. Cibazwa munzubo nibasazabele hamubili ni kuholofala.
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,
Iyo indaba ciyezibahala kubantu bonse, nibahala mwa Judea, mwa Greek, nimwa Efese. Imi baba tiyi ahulu, mane nizina lya Simwine Jesu ciba tanga kulikuteka.
18 And many that beleeued, came and confessed, and shewed their workes.
Imi hape, bantu bonse babazumini kubakela zive nikuzumina kuzintu zibi zibaba pangi.
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.
Bonse babali kupangite za mabibo cibaleta invuka zabo imi cizahisiwa mumenso abantu bonse. Haba zibala zonse, inteko yateni ibabi makumi amayanza azikiti zaziemba emba ze silivela.
20 So the worde of God grewe mightily, and preuailed.
Njikuti linzwi lye Ireeza liba ambalakani munzila ikolete.
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.
Paulusi hamana musebezi wakwe mwa Efese, cahupula caluhuho lujolola kuti ahite ya Macedonia ni mwa Achaia munzila yakwe yakuya mwa Jelusalema; Cawamba, “Acinazwa munu, niswanela kukabona kwa Roma.”
22 So sent hee into Macedonia two of them that ministred vnto him, Timotheus and Erastus, but he remained in Asia for a season.
Paulusi catuma batumiwa bakwe bobele baba mutusi, Timothy ni Erastus kwa Macedonia. Kono iye abali kusikala mwa Asia inako.
23 And the same time there arose no small trouble about that way.
Mweyo inako cikwabuka cifoyoyo mwa Efese kuamana ni Nzila.
24 For a certaine man named Demetrius a siluersmith, which made siluer temples of Diana, brought great gaines vnto the craftesmen,
Demetrius yopanga isilivela ya Diana, Cikwaba ni bisinisi kubantu babeza.
25 Whom he called together, with the workemen of like things, and saide, Syrs, ye knowe that by this craft we haue our goods:
Cakopanya babeleki bonse bamusebezi wa kubeza ni kuwamba, “Nfumwangu, wizi kuti mowunu musebezi tupanga masheleni mangi.
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.
Mubwene ni kuzuwa kuti, kanji mwa Efese monke kono ni mwa Asia yonse, Paulusi caba kukuweza niku bawambila. kuti kakwina Ireeza yopangiwa ca mayanza.
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.
Imi kana bukabo bwabo bonke kono niswe zintu zetu kese zisakahale kubantu, mane ni tempele ya mufumahali Diana Ireeza mukando muibule maata. Imi naye mwamaninwe bukando bwakwe mwa Asia ni mwinkanda yonse.”
28 Now when they heard it, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Habazuwa bulyo, bababengi ni kulila, Cibawamba, “Bukando bwina ha Diana yozwa mwa Efese.”
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.
Muleneñi onse babalyangani, cibahwei kucibaka cazizanino. Paulusi ni basindikizi bakwe mumusipili wabo, Gaius ni Aristarchus bazwa kwa Macedonia.
30 And when Paul would haue entred in vnto the people, the disciples suffred him not.
Paulusi abali kusaka kwinjila mukati kenyangela kono batumiwa baba musilelezi.
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.
Bonse batompeha ba cilalo ca Asia balikani bakwe cibamutumina liñusa kumukumbila kuti sanzi enjili mucibaka ca zizanino.
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 baba kuhuwana cintu conke, mane inyangela ciba lyangene, Bungi bwabo kana baba kwizi kuti cinzi habakeza bonse bonse.
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.
Majuda cibaleta Alexander habusu bwe nyangela. Alexander abali kulila mumayanza kutolokela inyangela.
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.
kono habeza kulemuha kuti Mujuda, bonse cibalila ca linzwi nyonke inhola zobele, “Bukando nji bwa Diana yozwa mwa Efese.”
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?
Muñoli we tolopo hawamba ni nyangela, Cawamba, “Inwe bantu ba Efese, njeni yasezi kuti muleneñi wa Efese mwasebeleza mukando Diana ni ciswaniso cibawili hansi kuzwa kwiwulu?
36 Seeing then that no man can speake against these things, ye ought to be appeased, and to doe nothing rashly.
Hamubona izi zintu zipangahala, muswanela kutontola niku sahwelela zintu.
37 For yee haue brought hither these men, which haue neither committed sacrilege, neither doe blaspheme your goddesse.
Bantu bamwaleta kumulawo kana basa bamwi tempele kapa kuwamba zibi kuamana ni Ireeza wetu.
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.
Heba, Demetriusi ni mubeleki yobeza kabazuwani, mulao kuwina wiyalukite. Mubasiye bazekisane.
39 But if ye inquire any thing cocerning other matters, it may be determined in a lawful assembly.
Kono heba kwina zimwi zilukela kuambolwa, muzilukiswe hande comulao.
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.
kakuti kwina inkozi kuamana nindaba za pangahala sunu, kakwina intatululo iwambiwe kuamana nei indaba, kese tuwole kuitatulusa.”
41 And when he had thus spoken, hee let the assembly depart.
Hamana kuwamba izo calukulula bantu.
