Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
Kawrin kho Apollos ao navah Pawl teh mon lam hoi Efisa kho a cei.
2 He said to them, Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? And they said to him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
A hnukkâbangnaw hoi a kâhmo toteh, nangmouh ni na yuem awh navah, Kathoung Muitha na coe awh toung maw telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni Kathoung Muitha coe hoi coe hoeh e ka panuek awh hoeh atipouh awh.
3 And he said to them, To what then were you baptized? And they said, To John’s baptism.
Hattoteh Pawl niyah, bangpatet e baptisma maw na coe awh vaw, telah let a pacei navah, ahnimouh ni, Jawhan e baptisma doeh ka coe ati awh.
4 Then said Paul, John truly baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
Pawl ni Jawhan teh amae a hnuklah ka tho hane Bawipa hah yuem awh haw titeh pankângainae baptisma doeh na poe awh. Hottelah a dei navah Jisuh Khrih doeh a dei ngai nah atipouh.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Ahnimouh ni a yuem awh toteh Jisuh min dawk baptisma a coe awh.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Pawl ni ahnimouh lathueng kut a toung pouh toteh ahnimouh koe Kathoung Muitha a pha. Hatdawkvah ahnimanaw teh alouke lawknaw a dei awh teh, profet lawk a pâpho awh.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Ahnimanaw teh abuemlahoi hrahlaikahni touh a pha.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
Hathnukkhu Pawl teh thapa yung thum touh thung sinakok vah Cathut uknaeram kamthang hah taranhawi laihoi a pâpho.
9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
Hatei tami tangawn teh a lungpata awh dawkvah yuem laipalah tamimaya hmalah lamthung pathoe lawk a dei awh dawkvah, a hnukkâbangnaw hah a kaw teh ahnimouh koehoi a tâco teh, Tirannus sengim dawkvah hnintangkuem a cangkhai.
10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelled in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Kum hni touh thung hottelah a kâroe dawkvah Judahnaw, Griknaw hoi Asia ram kaawmnaw pueng ni Bawipa e lawkkatang teh a thai awh.
11 And God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul:
Cathut ni Pawl kut dawk hoi ka talue e kângairuhnonaw a sak.
12 So that from his body were brought to the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
A tak dawk e hnica, hoehpawiteh a kâyeng e hnica a sin awh teh, ka dam hoeh e tak dawk a nep awh navah, ahnimae patawnae a kahma teh muitha kathoutnaw hai a tâco awh.
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took on them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.
Hatnavah yuengyoe kâva e Judah miphun, camkathoumnaw ni, muithakathout ni a man e taminaw koevah, Pawl ni a pâpho e Jisuh min lahoi kâ na poe titeh, Jisuh min hah tanouknae lah a hno awh.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
Hottelah ka tet e naw teh Judah tami vaihma bawi Skiva e capa sari touh hah doeh.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?
Hatnavah muitha kathoutnaw ni, Jisuh hai ka panue, Pawl hai ka panue, nangmanaw teh apinaw maw telah ati hnukkhu,
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Hote muitha kathoutnaw ni a man e tami ni, ahnimanaw hah a cu sin teh, a kathuek a kayak dawkvah caici lah hmâtan hoi a yawng awh.
17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Efisa kho kaawm e Judahnaw hoi Griknaw ni hote kamthang a thai awh navah, a taki awh teh Bawipa Jisuh min hah bari kaawm lah a pholen awh.
18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
Ka yuem e tami moikapap a tho awh teh, amamae a tawksak awh e naw hah a pâpho awh.
19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Camkathoumnaw ni hai amamae hnopainaw hoi cauknaw hah tamimaya hmalah a tâcokhai awh teh, hmai a pau awh. Hote cauknaw phu to navah ngun tangka thong 50 touh phu a pha.
20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
Hettelah hoiyah, Bawipa e lawkkatang teh thaonae hoi a roung teh tânae a hmu.
21 After 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 also see Rome.
Hathnukkhu Pawl teh Masidonia ram hoi Akhaia ram lahoi Jerusalem cei hanelah Muitha patounnae lahoi lawk a tâtueng teh, Jerusalem ka cei hnukkhu Rom khopui hai ka hmu han a ti.
22 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
Hatdawkvah ahni kabawmkung Timote hoi Erastas hah Masidonia ram lah a patoun. Ama teh Asia ram vah dongdeng ao.
23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
Hatnavah kamthang lawk kecu dawk ruengrueng ati awh.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;
Bangkong nama tetpawiteh nguntui kahlun e Demetrias teh Atemis cathut napui e bawkimca hlun laihoi nguntui kahlunnaw hanlah tawntanae lah a coung sak.
25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, you know that by this craft we have our wealth.
Demetrias ni ama patet e taminaw hah a pâkhueng teh, huikonaw, hete thaw hoi maimouh teh tawnta awh tie teh na panue awh.
26 Moreover you see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
Hatei, hete Pawl tie niyah, kut hoi sak e teh Cathut nahoeh ati teh Efisa kho e taminaw dueng laipalah Asia ram e tami pueng hai a dumyen teh lam a hmang sak toe.
27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nothing; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.
Hete lawk ni maimae min a mathoe sak dueng laipalah ka lentoe e Atemis cathut napui e bawkim hai banglah noutna hanlah awmhoeh toung vaiteh, Asia ram hoi talaivan pueng ni bawk awh e cathut napui e bahu teh a kahma han toe tie ngaihrinae ao telah a dei.
28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Hote lawk hah ahnimouh ni a thai awh navah, a lung thouk a khuek awh teh, Efisanaw e Atemis teh a lentoe telah a hram awh.
29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
Hattoteh khobuem ruengrueng ati awh. Taminaw niyah Pawl hnukkâbang e Masidonia tami Gaius hoi Aristarkas hah a man awh teh, pawi thungvah vai touh lahoi a kâen awh.
30 And when Paul would have entered in to the people, the disciples suffered him not.
Hote taminaw koe Pawl ni kâen hane a ngai ei a hnukkâbangnaw ni a ngang awh.
31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent to him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
Pawl e a hui, Asia ram e khobawinaw ni hai pawi thung kâen hoeh hanelah a kahei awh.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not why they were come together.
Taminaw teh ruengrueng ati awh dawkvah alouklouk lah a hram awh. Bangpatet ni teh bangdawkmaw kamkhueng a aw tie hai kamceng lah panuek awh hoeh.
33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defense to the people.
Judahnaw ni Alexander hah hmalah a tâco sak awh teh tami tangawn ni a lungkuep awh dawkvah, Alexander ni a kut a kahek teh kamkhuengnaw koe a dei pouh hanelah a kâcai.
34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Hatei ahni teh Judah tami doeh tie a panue awh navah, tami pueng ni, Efisanaw e Atemis teh a lentoe, telah suimilam kahni touh hane lawk suetalah a hram awh.
35 And when the town cleark had appeased the people, he said, You men of Ephesus, what man is there that knows not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
Hathnukkhu khothung e cakathutkung ni kamkhueng e taminaw cing ati sak teh, Efisa taminaw voi Efisa kho teh lentoe Atemis cathut napui e bawkim hoi, kalvan hoi kabawt e meikaphawk hah ka pâkuem e kho lah ao tie hah ka panuek hoeh e tami apimaw kaawm.
36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Het hateh oun thai hoeh e lah ao dawkvah bangcahai pouk laipalah, hrumhram sak laipalah duem o hanelah ao.
37 For you have brought here these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
Bangkongtetpawiteh nangmouh ni na man awh e hete taminaw ni nangmae bawkim na lawm awh hoeh, maimae cathut napui hah pacekpahlek awh hoeh.
38 Why if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them accuse one another.
Hatdawkvah Demetrias hoi nguntui kahlun e naw, nangmouh ni buetbuet touh toe hane awm pawiteh toeim paawng lah ao na yoe. Khobawinaw hai ao dawkvah ama maroi kâhmo na nei.
39 But if you inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
Hatei alouke kong dawk pawiteh kamceng lah kamkhuengnae koe lawk tâtueng hanlah ao.
40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.
Sahnin e hno ka tâcawt e dawkvah kamceng e banghai awmhoeh. Hettelah ruengruengtinae dawkvah maimouh letlang na toe awh pawiteh, kaimouh ni hete kambawngnae dawkvah ka dei thai a mahoeh atipouh teh,
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
kamkhuengnaw hah koung a kâkayaw sak.
