Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, in Apollos being in Corinth, Paul having gone through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and having found certain disciples,
Sel ajal kui Apollos oli Korintoses, sündis, et Paulus käis läbi sisemaa ja tuli Efesosse. Leides sealt mõned jüngrid, küsis ta neilt:
2 he said to them, “Having believed, did you receive the Holy Spirit?” And they said to him, “But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit”;
„Kast te võtsite vastu Püha Vaimu, kui te saite usklikuks?“Nad vastasid: „Me pole isegi kuulnud, et Püha Vaim on.“
3 and he said to them, “Into what, then, were you immersed?” And they said, “Into John’s immersion.”
Ja ta küsis neilt: „Millesse siis teie olete ristitud?“Nemad vastasid: „Johannese ristimisse.“
4 And Paul said, “John, indeed, immersed with an immersion of conversion, saying to the people that they should believe in Him who is coming after him—that is, in the Christ—Jesus”;
Aga Paulus ütles: „Johannes tõepoolest ristis meeleparandusristimisega, öeldes rahvale, et nad usuksid sellesse, kes tuleb pärast teda, see on Messias Jeesusesse.“
5 and they, having heard, were immersed into the Name of the Lord Jesus,
Seda kuuldes lasksid nad end ristida Issanda Jeesuse nimesse.
6 and Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, they were also speaking with tongues, and prophesying,
Ja kui Paulus pani käed nende peale, tuli neile Püha Vaim ja nad rääkisid võõraid keeli ja prohveteerisid.
7 and all the men were, as it were, twelve.
Seal oli kokku umbes tosin meest.
8 And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the Kingdom of God,
Paulus läks siis sünagoogi ja rääkis julgesti kolm kuud, väideldes ja veendes neid Jumala riigi asjus.
9 and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of The Way before the multitude, having departed from them, he separated the disciples, reasoning every day in the school of a certain Tyrannus.
Aga kui mõned tegid oma südame kõvaks ega uskunud, vaid rahva ees halvustasid usuteed, läks ta ära nende juurest ja eraldas neist ka jüngrid ning pidas iga päev arutlusi Türannose koolis.
10 And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks,
See kestis kaks aastat, nõnda et kõik, kes Aasias elasid, nii juudid kui kreeklased, said kuulda Issanda Jeesuse sõna.
11 also mighty works—not common—God was working through the hands of Paul,
Ja Jumal tegi erakordseid imesid Pauluse käte läbi,
12 so that even to the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.
nii et ka tema ihu pealt võetud higirätikuid ja põllesid viidi haigete peale ja haigused lahkusid neist ning kurjad vaimud läksid välja.
13 And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took on [them] to name over those having the evil spirits the Name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches”;
Aga mõned juudid, kes rännates kurje vaime välja ajasid, hakkasid kasutama Issanda Jeesuse nime, üteldes: „Ma käsin teil välja tulla selle Jeesuse nimel, keda Paulus kuulutab!“
14 and there were certain—seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest—who are doing this thing;
Ja need olid ühe juudi ülempreestri Skeua seitse poega, kes seda tegid.
15 and the evil spirit, answering, said, “I know Jesus, and I am acquainted with Paul; and you—who are you?”
Ent kuri vaim ütles: „Jeesust ma tunnen ja Paulust ma tean, aga kes teie olete?“
16 And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that they fled naked and wounded out of that house,
Ja mees, kelles oli kuri vaim, hüppas neile peale ja sai võimust nende üle. Ja ta andis neile niimoodi peksa, et nad alasti ja haavatuna põgenesid sellest majast.
17 and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell on them all, and the Name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified;
See lugu sai teatavaks kõigile juutidele ja kreeklastele, kes elasid Efesoses. Hirm langes nende kõikide peale ja Issanda Jeesuse nime hoiti suure au sees.
18 many also of those who believed were coming, confessing and declaring their acts,
Ja paljud usklikud tulid ning tunnistasid üles oma teod.
19 and many of those who had practiced the superfluous arts, having brought the scrolls together, were burning [them] before all; and they reckoned together the prices of them, and found [it] fifty thousand pieces of silver,
Paljud neist, kes olid tegelenud nõiakunstiga, tõid oma raamatud kokku ja põletasid need ära kõikide silme all. Ja kui nad arvutasid kokku nende väärtuse, oli see viiskümmend tuhat hõbetükki.
20 so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing.
Nõnda võimsalt kasvas ja avaldas oma väge Issanda sõna.
21 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying, “After my being there, it is also necessary for me to see Rome”;
Pärast kõiki neid sündmusi otsustas Paulus Makedoonia ja Ahhaia kaudu Jeruusalemma minna. „Kui ma seal olen ära käinud, “ütles ta, „pean ma nägema ka Roomat.“
22 and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him—Timotheus and Erastus—he himself stayed a time in Asia.
Ta läkitas Makedooniasse kaks oma abilist, Timoteose ja Erastose, ise jäi aga veel mõneks ajaks Aasiasse.
23 And there came, at that time, not a little stir about The Way,
Sel ajal tekkis suur tüli õpetuse pärast.
24 for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the craftsmen not a little gain,
Sest üks hõbesepp nimega Demeetrios, kes tegi hõbedast Artemise templi kujukesi, tõi sealsetele käsitöölistele rohkesti tööd.
25 whom, having brought in a crowd together, and those who worked around such things, he said, “Men, you know that by this work we have our wealth;
Ta kutsus kokku kõik, kes selles ametis olid, ja ütles neile: „Mehed, te teate, et meie heaolu sõltub sellest tööst.
26 and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, turned away a great multitude, saying that they who are made by hands are not gods;
Ja te näete ja kuulete, et see Paulus veenab ja pöörab ümber palju inimesi mitte ainult Efesoses, vaid peaaegu kogu Aasias, öeldes, et need ei ole jumalad, mis kätega tehakse.
27 and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis, the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
Ja nõnda ähvardab põlu alla sattumine mitte ainult meie äri, vaid ka suure jumalanna Artemise templit võidakse põlata ja selle toredus hävitada, ehkki seda kummardab kogu Aasia.“
28 And having heard, and having become full of wrath, they were crying out, saying, “Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Seda kuuldes läksid nad raevu ja hüüdsid: „Suur on efeslaste Artemis!“
29 And the whole city was filled with confusion; they rushed also with one accord into the theater, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s fellow-travelers.
Ja terve linn täitus segadusega ja nad tungisid teatrisse, vedades kaasa makedoonlased Gaiuse ja Aristarhose, Pauluse reisikaaslased.
30 And on Paul’s resolving to enter in to the populace, the disciples were not permitting him,
Ja kui Paulus tahtis rahva ette minna, ei lubanud jüngrid teda.
31 and also some of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, having sent to him, were pleading [with] him not to venture into the theater himself.
Isegi mõned provintsi ametnikud, kes olid ta sõbrad, saatsid talle sõnumi paludes, et ta ei läheks teatrisse.
32 Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they had come together;
Rahvakogu oli segaduses, sest ühed karjusid üht ja teised teist ja enamik ei teadnud, mis põhjusel nad olid kokku tulnud.
33 and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander—the Jews thrusting him forward—and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defense to the populace,
Siis toodi rahva seast esile Aleksandros, kelle juudid ette lükkasid. Aleksandros viipas käega, tahtes pidada rahva ees kaitsekõnet.
34 and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, “Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Aga kui nad said aru, et ta on juut, karjusid kõik ühehäälselt kaks tundi: „Suur on efeslaste Artemis!“
35 And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, says, “Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus?
Aga linnakirjutaja vaigistas rahvahulga ja ütles: „Efesose mehed, milline mees ei teaks, et efeslaste linn on suure jumalanna Artemise templi ja tema taevast Zeusi käest maha langenud kuju hoidja?
36 These things, then, being undeniable, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Seepärast, kuna need faktid on vaieldamatud, peaksite olema vait ja mitte midagi tegema kiirustades.
37 For you brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor slandering of your goddess;
Te olete toonud need mehed siia, kuigi nad ei ole rüüstanud templit ega teotanud meie jumalannat.
38 if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a matter with anyone, court [days] are held, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another.
Kui nüüd Demeetriosel ja teistel käsitöölistel on midagi kellegi vastu, siis kohtud on avatud ja seal on prokonsulid; kaevaku nad seal üksteise peale.
39 And if you seek after anything concerning other matters, it will be determined in the legal assembly;
Ja kui teil on veel nõudmisi, siis seletatagu asi korralise rahvakogu ees.
40 for we are also in peril of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day, there being no occasion by which we will be able to give an account of this concourse”;
Sest meil on oht sattuda tänase kära pärast uurimise alla, ja pole ühtegi põhjust, millega sellist korratut kogunemist õigustada.“
41 and having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
Ja kui ta seda oli öelnud, saatis ta rahvakoosoleku laiali.
