< Acts 19 >
1 Now it happened that while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul, after passing through the hinterland, came to Ephesus, where he found a few disciples.
Ri Apolos kꞌo pa ri tinimit Corinto, are kꞌu ri Pablo xikꞌow pa taq tinimit ri naqaj e kꞌo wi, kꞌa te riꞌ xopan pa ri tinimit Éfeso, chilaꞌ xuꞌriq wi e kꞌi kojonelabꞌ.
2 "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" he asked them. "No" said they, "we did not even hear that there is a Holy Spirit."
Xuta chike: ¿La xikꞌamawaꞌj ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel are xixkojonik? Man xqakꞌamawaꞌj taj, xechaꞌ. Man e qetaꞌm taj we kꞌo Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel.
3 "Into what, then, were you baptized?" he asked. And they said, "Into the baptism of John."
¿Jachin chike qasanaꞌ xikꞌamawaꞌj ix? Are ri qasanaꞌ rech ri Juan, xecha che.
4 "John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance," answered Paul, "telling the people to believe on One who was coming after him, namely, on Jesus."
Ri Pablo xubꞌij chike: Ri qasanaꞌ ri xubꞌan ri Juan, xubꞌano rech kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx ri winaq che kimak xubꞌij kꞌu chike ri winaq chi rajawaxik kekojon che ri kape na, ri Jesús.
5 When they heard this they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;
Are xetoꞌtaj chutatabꞌexik ri xbꞌix chike, xbꞌan kiqasanaꞌ pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesús.
6 and after Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began to speak with tongues, and to prophesy.
Are xuya ri uqꞌabꞌ ri Pablo pa kiwiꞌ, xqaj ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel pa kiwiꞌ, xechꞌaw pa juleꞌ taq chꞌabꞌal chik, xuqujeꞌ xkiqꞌalajisaj ri utzij ri Dios.
7 They were in all about twelve men.
E kabꞌlajuj achyabꞌ chkonojel.
8 Then Paul went into the synagogue, and there continued to preach fearlessly for about three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.
Ri Pablo oxibꞌ ikꞌ xtzijonik xuqujeꞌ xmenkꞌetinik chirij ri ajawarem rech ri Dios pa ri Sinagoga.
9 But when some grew hardened and disobedient, and spoke evil of the Way before the crowd, he left them, withdrew the disciples, and continued to hold discussions daily in the lecture-hall of Tyrannus.
E kꞌo jujun man xkaj taj xekojon che ri utzij ri Jesús, xkichapleꞌj ubꞌixik itzel taq jastaq chike ri kojonelabꞌ chikiwach konojel ri winaq. Rumal riꞌ, ri Pablo xel bꞌik pa ri Sinagoga, xuꞌkꞌam bꞌik ri kojonelabꞌ, amaqꞌel, xtzijon kukꞌ pa ri ja tijobꞌal re ri achi ubꞌiꞌnam Tirano. Xuchoqꞌ uwach ri xbꞌix che.
10 This went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of Asia heard the Lord’s message, Jews as well as Greeks.
Kebꞌ junabꞌ jewaꞌ xkꞌulmatajik xaq jeriꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj ri e kꞌo pa taq ri tinimit rech Asia, xkitatabꞌej ri utzij ri Ajawxel.
11 God also wrought extraordinary miracles by the hand of Paul;
Ri Dios kꞌut xuya kwinem che ri Pablo kubꞌan nimaq taq kꞌutbꞌal xuqujeꞌ kunanik.
12 so much so, that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick; and their diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
Ri yawabꞌibꞌ kekunatajik are kaya ri kisuꞌt xuqujeꞌ chꞌuqbꞌal taq kichꞌek chirij ri Pablo xuqujeꞌ ri itzel taq uxlabꞌal keꞌl bꞌik chike.
13 But there were also some strolling Jewish exorcists, who took it upon them to invoke the name of Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "I adjure you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches."
Kꞌo kꞌu jun wok winaq aꞌj Israel ri kewaꞌkat pa taq kiꞌ tinimit, keꞌkesaj itzel taq uxlabꞌal, kakikoj ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesús, kakibꞌij: Pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Jesús ri kutzijoj ri Pablo, katqesaj bꞌik itzel uxlabꞌal.
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish high priest who used to do this.
Ri kebꞌanow we riꞌ are ri e wuqubꞌ ralkꞌwaꞌl ri Esceva, jun pare kꞌamal bꞌe.
15 But the evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I have heard of, but who are you?"
Junmul kꞌut are xkaj jewaꞌ xkibꞌano, ri itzel uxlabꞌal xubꞌij chike: Wetaꞌm uwach ri Jesús, xuqujeꞌ wetaꞌm jachin riꞌ ri Pablo, ¿ix jachin kꞌu ri ix?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was sprang on two of them, overpowered them and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of the house naked and wounded.
Ri achi kꞌut ri kꞌo itzel uxlabꞌal che, xukꞌyaq ribꞌ chikij rukꞌ chꞌuꞌjilal, xkixiꞌxitej kꞌu kibꞌ, xkiriq kꞌax xuqujeꞌ kechꞌanchꞌatik xebꞌe cho kachoch.
17 And this became known to all the people of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. Awe fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus began to be held in honor.
We kꞌulmatajik riꞌ xetaꞌmataj kumal konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Éfeso, winaq aꞌj Israel, xuqujeꞌ winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, konojel xkixiꞌj kibꞌ, rumal riꞌ xkinimarisaj uqꞌij ri Ajawxel Jesús.
18 Many also of those who became believers used to come to confess and to declare their deeds.
E kꞌi chike ri winaq ri xekojonik, xkitzujuj kibꞌ che ri man utz taj ri kibꞌanom kan nabꞌe.
19 And some of them who had practised magic arts, collected their books, and burned them in the presence of all. And they counted the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand silver coins.
E kꞌi xuqujeꞌ chike ri kakibꞌan kan itzinik nabꞌe xkikꞌam loq ri kiwuj ri rech itzibꞌal, xkiporoj chkiwach konojel ri winaq. Ri rajil ri wuj ri xkiporoj, are kawinaq lajuj mil qꞌana pwaq.
20 So mightily the word of the Lord continued to grow and to prevail.
E kꞌi winaq xekojonik rumal ronojel ri xkꞌulmatajik.
21 Now after these things were ended, Paul resolved in his spirit to travel through Macedonia and Achaia on his way to Jerusalem. "After I get there," he said, "I must see Rome, too."
Ri Pablo xuchomaj kisolixik ri tinimit rech Macedonia, rech Acaya, are majaꞌ keꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén. Xuchomaj chi we xtoꞌtaj pa Jerusalén, rajawaxik keꞌ pa ri tinimit Roma.
22 So he sent two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, while he himself kept back for a time on his way into Asia.
Xuꞌtaq kꞌu bꞌik ri Timoteo rachiꞌl ri Erasto, kebꞌ chike ri ketobꞌan rukꞌ, xebꞌe pa Macedonia. Are kꞌu ri areꞌ xkanaj kan jun janipa qꞌij pa Asia.
23 Now just at this time, there arose no small commotion concerning the Way.
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ xchapleꞌtaj jun chꞌoꞌj chkixoꞌl ri winaq pa ri tinimit Éfeso rumal ri utz laj tzij rech ri kꞌakꞌ taq tzij.
24 There was a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, and brought rich profit to his workmen.
Kꞌo kꞌu jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Demetrio. Jun chꞌayal chꞌichꞌ ri kubꞌan alaj taq ja che saq pwaq karesaj uwach ri rachoch ri Diana ri kidios ri winaq aꞌj Éfeso, nima pwaq kakichꞌek ri achyabꞌ ri kechakun rukꞌ.
25 He gathered them together with others of like occupation, and said. "Men, you know that by this business we make our money.
Ri Demetrio xuꞌmulij ajchakibꞌ, xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj achyabꞌ ri junam kichak rukꞌ, xubꞌij chike: Iwetaꞌm chi nim tajin kiqachꞌek chrij we chak riꞌ.
26 "And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but almost throughout all of Asia, this fellow Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, by telling them that they are no gods at all who are made with hands.
Kiwil bꞌa ri achi Pablo, kubꞌij chi we tzꞌaq riꞌ e winaq e bꞌanowinaq man e dios taj. Man xwi ta kꞌu ukojom kikꞌuꞌx ri winaq pa Éfeso, xane ukojom kikꞌuꞌx konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Asia.
27 "So there is danger not only that our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be brought into disrepute, and that she herself may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world now worships."
We man nim chik kilik ri templo rech ri Diana, kasach uwach waꞌ we qakꞌay, sibꞌalaj kꞌax riꞌ. Man kaya ta chi kꞌu uqꞌij we nimalaj dios ri kaqꞌijilax kumal konojel ri winaq aꞌj Asia, xuqujeꞌ kumal konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo cho ri uwachulew.
28 After listening to this they were filled with rage, and cried out again and again, saying,
Ri winaq are xkita ri xbꞌix chike, sibꞌalaj xpe koyawal, xkiraq kichiꞌ, xkibꞌij: ¡Nim uqꞌij ri Diana ri kidios ri aꞌj Éfeso!
29 The city was filled with commotion. They rushed like one man into the theater, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s companions in travel.
Konojel ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit xkikꞌyaq kibꞌ chikij ri Gayo, xuqujeꞌ ri Aristarco are waꞌ ri achyabꞌ aꞌj Macedonia e rachiꞌl ri Pablo. Ri winaq xeꞌkicharchatej bꞌik xeꞌkikꞌam bꞌik pa ri kꞌolibꞌal ri kakimulij wi kibꞌ ri winaq.
30 When Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not let him,
Ri Pablo are xraj xok bꞌik chikixoꞌl ri winaq, ri kojonelabꞌ man xkiya ta bꞌe che.
31 and some of the Asiarchs, too, who were his friends, sent word to him repeatedly, entreating him not to venture into the theater.
E kꞌo xuqujeꞌ jujun qꞌatal tzij rech ri tinimit Asia, kech chꞌabꞌeꞌn ri Pablo, xkitaq ubꞌixik che chi man kok ta chkixoꞌl ri winaq.
32 Now some were shouting one thing, some another, for the assembly was in an uproar, and the majority had no idea why they were come together.
Ri winaq ri kimulim kibꞌ xkiraq kichiꞌ, xkibꞌij jaljoj taq jastaq. E kꞌi chike man ketaꞌm taj jas che kimulim kibꞌ.
33 And they brought Alexander out of the crowd, whom the Jews had pushed forward. And Alexander, motioning with his hand, would have made a defense to the people,
Kꞌo kꞌu jun achi aj Israel chilaꞌ ubꞌiꞌ Alejandro, xkichꞌikmayij bꞌik rech kubꞌij jas tajin kakꞌulmatajik. Ri Alejandro xuyak ri uqꞌabꞌ rech man kechꞌaw ta na ri winaq.
34 but when they saw that he was a Jew they all, with one voice, for about two hours, shouted,
Ri winaq are xkichꞌobꞌo chi ri Alejandro aj Israel, konojel xkiraq kichiꞌ, xkibꞌij: ¡Nim uqꞌij ri Diana, ri kidios ri aꞌj Éfeso!
35 At length the recorder got them quiet. "Men of Ephesus," he said, "who here does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple- guardian of the great Diana and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
Xpe kꞌu jun qꞌatal tzij rech ri tinimit xkwinik xuꞌtanabꞌa ri winaq, xubꞌij chike: Achyabꞌ aꞌj Éfeso, konojel ri winaq ketaꞌm chi we tinimit Éfeso are e chajil re ri utemplo ri qadios Diana, ri utzꞌaqil xa xqaj loq chikaj.
36 "Since these facts cannot be gainsaid, you ought to be calm and do nothing reckless.
Qetaꞌm kꞌut chi man kꞌo ta jun ri mat retaꞌm. Xaq jeriꞌ makiyak ta chꞌoꞌj, qas chichomaj na ri kibꞌano.
37 "For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
We achyabꞌ we iꞌkꞌamom loq man kꞌo ta jun awas kibꞌanom, maj jastaq keleqꞌam pa ri templo, man e yoqꞌoꞌwinaq ta che ri qaDiana, ri qadios.
38 If then Demetrius and his craftsmen have a grievance against any one, the courts are open and there are the proconsuls; let them accuse one another.
Ri Demetrio xuqujeꞌ ri rajchakibꞌ we kꞌo kichꞌoꞌj rukꞌ jachinaq, are kipatan ri qꞌatal taq tzij xuqujeꞌ ri qꞌatbꞌal taq tzij ri e kꞌolik. Chilaꞌ jeꞌkibꞌij wi jachike ri kꞌo pa kanimaꞌ.
39 But if you desire anything further, it must be settled in the regular assembly.
We kꞌo chi ne jun jastaq ri kiwaj, kuyaꞌo kibꞌij chaqe rech kaqamulij qibꞌ chuchomaxik.
40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused in regard to this day’s riot, since there is no cause for it, nor shall we be able to give account for this disorderly gathering."
Xibꞌibꞌal riꞌ we kabꞌix chaqe chi xa man kujniman ta chike ri ketaqan pa qawiꞌ, xa rumal ri xbꞌantaj waral kamik. Jas kꞌu kaqabꞌij riꞌ we xta chaqe ri xkꞌulmataj kamik qetaꞌm uj chi man kꞌo ta rumal.
41 With these words he dismissed the assembly.
Are xtoꞌtaj ri qꞌatal tzij chubꞌixik we tzij riꞌ xuꞌtaq bꞌik ri winaq cho taq kachoch.
