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,
Kubatendahali buti kuti Apolosi nena kwa Korinte, paulusi abahiti kwiulu lyekanda mi abezi kwa Efese, mi nicheza kuwana barutwana bamwi kwateni.
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”;
Paulusi nichati kubali, “Mubatambuli luhuho lujolola na hamubazumini?” Chibamucho kuti, “Nee, kakwina mane ni chitubazuwi kuamana ni Luhuho Lujolola.”
3 and he said to them, “Into what, then, were you immersed?” And they said, “Into John’s immersion.”
Paulusi abati, “Linu mubakolobezwa muchinzi?” Ni chibati, “Munkolobezo ya Joani,
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”;
Linu Paulusi netaba, “Joani abakolobezi chenkolobezo yenswalelo. Abawambili bantu kuti bayelele kuzumina kumuntu yokeza mwisule lyakwe, kokuta kuti, nji kwa Jesu.”
5 and they, having heard, were immersed into the Name of the Lord Jesus,
Bantu habazuwa bulyo, nibakolobezwa mwizina lya Simwine Jesu.
6 and Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, they were also speaking with tongues, and prophesying,
Imi linu Paulusi habatula mayanza hewulu, Luhuho Lujolola nichilwabenjila mi nibawamba mundimi zisiyenesiyene mi nibatanikiza zikezite.
7 and all the men were, as it were, twelve.
Kuhindilila bonse ibali bakwame babali kulikana ikumi ni bobele.
8 And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the Kingdom 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 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.
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 happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks,
Abazwili habusu kuwamba zilimo zobele kuti mane nibantu bekala mwa Asia, Judea ni mwa Greek bazuwe linzwi lye Ireeza.
11 also mighty works—not common—God was working through the hands of Paul,
Ireeza aba kupanga zimpangaliko zijolola ca mayanza a Paulusi,
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.
mane ni balwala babali kuhola, Niluhuho lubilala luba kuzwa kubali, Habahinda kataulo ni ka apron hamubili wa Paulusi.
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”;
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 certain—seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest—who are doing this thing;
Baba tendi izo babali bakwame batenda iyanza ni bobele bana ba mupurita mukulwana wa majuda, wezina lya Sceva.
15 and the evil spirit, answering, said, “I know Jesus, and I am acquainted with Paul; and you—who are you?”
Luhuho lubilala lubabetabi, “Nizi Jesu, ni Paulusi; cwale iwe njewe ni?”
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,
Luhuho lubilala lubena kumuntu cilwa mukoma kumubulisa ziho cawila hanzi ni kubakaba. Cibazwa munzubo nibasazabele hamubili ni kuholofala.
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;
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 many also of those who believed were coming, confessing and declaring their acts,
Imi hape, bantu bonse babazumini kubakela zive nikuzumina kuzintu zibi zibaba pangi.
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,
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 powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing.
Njikuti linzwi lye Ireeza liba ambalakani munzila ikolete.
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”;
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 and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him—Timotheus and Erastus—he himself stayed a time in Asia.
Paulusi catuma batumiwa bakwe bobele baba mutusi, Timothy ni Erastus kwa Macedonia. Kono iye abali kusikala mwa Asia inako.
23 And there came, at that time, not a little stir about The Way,
Mweyo inako cikwabuka cifoyoyo mwa Efese kuamana ni Nzila.
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,
Demetrius yopanga isilivela ya Diana, Cikwaba ni bisinisi kubantu babeza.
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;
Cakopanya babeleki bonse bamusebezi wa kubeza ni kuwamba, “Nfumwangu, wizi kuti mowunu musebezi tupanga masheleni mangi.
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;
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 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.”
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 And having heard, and having become full of wrath, they were crying out, saying, “Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Habazuwa bulyo, bababengi ni kulila, Cibawamba, “Bukando bwina ha Diana yozwa mwa Efese.”
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.
Muleneñi onse babalyangani, cibahwei kucibaka cazizanino. Paulusi ni basindikizi bakwe mumusipili wabo, Gaius ni Aristarchus bazwa kwa Macedonia.
30 And on Paul’s resolving to enter in to the populace, the disciples were not permitting him,
Paulusi abali kusaka kwinjila mukati kenyangela kono batumiwa baba musilelezi.
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.
Bonse batompeha ba cilalo ca Asia balikani bakwe cibamutumina liñusa kumukumbila kuti sanzi enjili mucibaka ca zizanino.
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;
Bamwi bantu baba kuhuwana cintu conke, mane inyangela ciba lyangene, Bungi bwabo kana baba kwizi kuti cinzi habakeza bonse bonse.
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,
Majuda cibaleta Alexander habusu bwe nyangela. Alexander abali kulila mumayanza kutolokela inyangela.
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!”
kono habeza kulemuha kuti Mujuda, bonse cibalila ca linzwi nyonke inhola zobele, “Bukando nji bwa Diana yozwa mwa Efese.”
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?
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 These things, then, being undeniable, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Hamubona izi zintu zipangahala, muswanela kutontola niku sahwelela zintu.
37 For you brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor slandering of your goddess;
Bantu bamwaleta kumulawo kana basa bamwi tempele kapa kuwamba zibi kuamana ni Ireeza wetu.
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.
Heba, Demetriusi ni mubeleki yobeza kabazuwani, mulao kuwina wiyalukite. Mubasiye bazekisane.
39 And if you seek after anything concerning other matters, it will be determined in the legal assembly;
Kono heba kwina zimwi zilukela kuambolwa, muzilukiswe hande comulao.
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”;
kakuti kwina inkozi kuamana nindaba za pangahala sunu, kakwina intatululo iwambiwe kuamana nei indaba, kese tuwole kuitatulusa.”
41 and having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
Hamana kuwamba izo calukulula bantu.
