< 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,
Lukale kuuti u Apologize ye aliku Korintho upaulo akakila ku kyanya na kufika kulikaja lya Efeso, pe akavonaakavona avavulanisivua vamo ukuo.
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.
U Paulo akam'bula, “Nde, mukamwupile uMhepo u Mwimike yemukitike?” Vakam'bula, “nambe, natulyapulike ndavule uMhepo u Mwimike.”
3 And he said vnto them, Vnto what were ye then baptized? And they saide, Vnto Iohns baptisme.
U Paulo akaati, “lino umue mukofwighue ndani?” Vakaati, “Mulwofugho ulwa Yohana.
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.
Kange uPaulo akamula, “U Yohana alyofwighe ulwofugho ulwa lulato. Akavavula avanhu vala kuuti mulondua kukumwitika jula juno ikwisa pa mwene, ndavule, u Yesu.”
5 And when they heard it, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Iesus.
Avanhu ye vapulike imola iiji, peva kofughua kulitavua lya Mutwa Yesu.
6 So Paul layde his handes vpon them, and the holy Ghost came on them, and they spake the tongues, and prophecied.
Lukale u Paulo yavikile amavoko gha mwene kuvanave, uMhepo u Mwimike Akita kuvanave pe akatengula kujova injovele kuviila.
7 And all the men were about twelue.
Palikimo Avenue valyale avaghosi kijigho nava viili.
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.
U Paulo alyalutile kunyumba ijakufunyila akajova na Kun'kangasia amasiki gha meesi ghatatu. Alyale ilongosia kupuling'ana nakuvakwesa avaanhu vano valungime vwimila u vutua uvwa Nguluve.
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.
Looli ava Yahudi avange valyale vakali avange vano navikwitika, valyatengwile kujova amavivi kulungama musila ija Kilisite pavulongolo pa kipugha. Kange u Paulo akalekine na veene pe akavabaghula vano vikutika navene. Umwene akatengula kujova mufighono fyooni kuvukumbi uvwa Tirano.
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.
Ulu lulyaghendelile amaka gha viili, looli vonivoni valyle vikukala ku Asia valyapulike ilisio lya Mutwa, vooni ava Yahudi nava Yunani.
11 And God wrought no small miracles by the handes of Paul,
U nguluve alyale ivomba imbombo mumavoko agha Paulo,
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.
kuuti avatamu valyavuvusivue, nu Mhepo umulamafu akavahuma, unsiki ghono valyalolile ikitambala namenda ghano ghakahumile mum'bili gha Paaulo.
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.
Looli pevalyale ava Yahudi vano valyale vipunga uvupepo vikyula kukilila ikisala ikio, vakavombelagha ilitavua lya Yesu vwimila vuvanave vavuo. Valyavavulile vala kuuti valyale niili pepo ililamafu; vakaati, “Nikuvavula muhume mulitavua lya Yesu juno u Paulo ikun'dalikila.”
14 (And there were certaine sonnes of Sceua a Iewe, the Priest, about seuen which did this)
Vano valyaghavombile agha valyale vaana budika lubali vwa ntekesi umbaha ughwa kiyahudi, ni Skewa.
15 And the euil spirit answered, and said, Iesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know: but who are ye?
Amapepo amalamafu vakavamula, “U Yesu nun'kaguile, naju Paulo ni n'kaguile; looli umwe mwemue va veeni?” Jula umhepo umulamafu akavahadukila
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.
mun'kate mwa munhu ava punga vupepo na akavasinda ingufu na kukuvatova. Pe vakakimbilila kuhuma munyumba jila vakale sila Manda kange vakalemile.
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,
Ilio likakagulika ku vooni, ava Yahudi nava Yunani, vano valyale vikukala kuula ku Efeso. Valyale nuludwesi luvaha fiijo, nilitavua lya Mutwa likongelela kupulikika.
18 And many that beleeued, came and confessed, and shewed their workes.
Kange, vinga avaviitiki valisile nakulata kange vakasimilisia imbombo imbivi sino vakavombile.
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.
Vinga valyale vivomba uvughanga vakakong'ania ifitabu fivanave, vakanyanya pa vulongolo pa munhu ghweni. Unsiki avene ye vavalile ulutalama lwa fiinu, lilyalelilyale fighavo fijigho fihano ifya ndalama.
20 So the worde of God grewe mightily, and preuailed.
Pa uluo ilisio lya Mutwa likakwilana muvukome fiijo uvwa ngufu.
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.
Isa Paulo kukwilana imbombo inofu ija mwene kula ku Efeso, u Mhepo akamulongosia kuluta ku Yerusalemu kukilila ku Makedonia naku Akaya; akaati, “Yekwene ukuo, jininoghile kujagha i Rumi.”
22 So sent hee into Macedonia two of them that ministred vnto him, Timotheus and Erastus, but he remained in Asia for a season.
U Paulo akavomola ku Makedonia avavulanisivua va mwene vaviili, Timotheo nu Erasto, vano valyale vikutanga. Looli umwene jujuo akajighe ku Asia mu nsiki.
23 And the same time there arose no small trouble about that way.
Unsiki ughuo kukahumile ulunjughanjugha ulukome ukuo ku Efeso vwimila isiila jiila.
24 For a certaine man named Demetrius a siluersmith, which made siluer temples of Diana, brought great gaines vnto the craftesmen,
U sonora jumo ilitavua lyamwene Demetrio, juno alyatendile ifihwan ifya ndalama ifya Nguluve Diana, alyaletile ifighusivua ifivaha kuvamang'anyi.
25 Whom he called together, with the workemen of like things, and saide, Syrs, ye knowe that by this craft we haue our goods:
Pe akavakong'ania ava mang'anyi ava mbombo jila na kuuti, “Vagojo mukagwile kuuti mufighusivua ifii tukwingisia indalama nyinga.
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.
Mulola na kupulika kuuti, usue tuliapa pa Efeso, looli pipi ni Asia jooni, u Paulo uju avavulile na kuvashetulania avanhu viinga. Ijova kuuti kweghasili amanumbela Ghana ghavombilue na mavoko.
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.
Na kwekuuti kwelile ulutalaamu kuuti ifighusivua fiitu nafilonduagha kange, looli nii nyumba ija Nguluve ijakufunyila umama um'baha u Diana lunoghile kusyojola kuuti asita luvumbulilo. Kange anoghile asovile uvuvaha vwa mwene, juno i Asia ni iisi jikufunya kwa mwene.”
28 Now when they heard it, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Ye vapulike agha, vakamemile ni ng'alasi kange vakajeghela, vakaati, “U Diana ughwa Efeso ghwe m'baha.”
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.
Ilikaja lioni likamemile ulunjughanjugha, navanhu vakakimbila mun'kate muvukumbi uvwa luneno. Vakavakolile vano vikyula avanine nhu Paulo, u Gayo nu Aristariko, vano vakahumile ku Makedonia.
30 And when Paul would haue entred in vnto the people, the disciples suffred him not.
U Paulo alyalondile kukwingila mukipugha kya vanhu, looli avavulanisivua vakan'sigha.
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.
Kange, avagoyo vamo ava kisina ava ku Asia vano valyale vamanyani va mwene vakantwalila imola inofu kungufu kukunsuma alike pikwingila muvukumbi uvwaluneno.
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.
Avanhu vamo valyale viiti ikiinu iiki na vange ilisio lila, ulyakuva ikipugha kya vanhu kilyahasiling'ine. Vinga vavanave navakakagwile nambe kuuti nakiki valisile palikimo.
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.
Ava Yahudi vakantwala u Iskanda kunji kukipugha kya vanhu na pikum'bika pavulongolo pa vanhu. U iskanda akahumia ikidegho muluvok lwa mwene kuhumia uvwolesi ku vanhu.
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.
Looli yeva kagwiile kuuti umene mu Yahudi, vooni vakajeghela ku lisio limo munsiki ghwa lmasala ghavili, “U Diana ghwe m'baha ughwa va 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?
Pa uluo umulembi ughwa likaja akanyamasia ikipugha, akaati, 'Umwe mwe vaghosi ava Efeso ghweveni Juno nakagwiile kuuti ilikaja lya Efeso juno ikolelela inyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila ija Diana umbaha nikila ikihwani kino kikaghwile kuhuma kukyanya?
36 Seeing then that no man can speake against these things, ye ought to be appeased, and to doe nothing rashly.
Kulola kuuti amasio agha naghangakagulike, tulondua kuuti tuve Kimmie kange namungavombaghe kyooni ikya ng'aning'ani.
37 For yee haue brought hither these men, which haue neither committed sacrilege, neither doe blaspheme your goddesse.
Ulwakuva ulwakuva muvakemelile avanhu ava pa ndinde vano navaliasi ava nyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila nambe navikum'beda u Nguluve ghwiitu un'dala.
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.
Ku uluo, ndavule u Demetrio na mang'anyi vano valipalikimo nu mwene valinamavoko vwimila vwa munhu ghweni, indinde si dindulivue navasikari pevale. Pe valetue pavulongolo pa highi.
39 But if ye inquire any thing cocerning other matters, it may be determined in a lawful assembly.
Looli ndavule uve ungalonde kyekyoni kila ghusimilisa amasio aghange, ghivombua mukikalo ikya kyang'haani.
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.
Sa kyang'ani tuluvivi ulwakuhighua vwimila ulunjughanjugha vwimila ulwa kighono iki. Kusiila lumonga ulwakunangika isi, kange nakwande tuva ningufu isa kwolelela.
41 And when he had thus spoken, hee let the assembly depart.
Ye ajovile agha, akapalasinie ifipugha.
