Acts 19
1 It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
Apolo pubhaliji ku Kolinto, a Pauli gubhapite mwilambo ya kuntundu, gubhaishe ku Epesho gubhaaimenenje bhaajiganywa bhowepe.
2 He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They said to him, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
Gubhaabhushiyenje, “Nkakulupalilanjeje mwaposhelenje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo?” Bhalabhonji gubhajangwilenje, “Ntape! Numbe tukanabhepilikana kuti apali Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.”
3 He said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into John's baptism."
Kwa nneyo a Pauli gubhaabhushiyenje, “Igala mwabhatishwenje ubhatisho gwashi?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Ubhatisho gwa a Yowana.”
4 Paul said, "John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus."
A Pauli gubhashite, “Ubhatisho gwa a Yowana pugwaaliji gwa langula kuti bhandunji bhaipetilenje. A Yowana bhatendaga kwaabhalanjilanga bhandunji kuti bhankulupalilanje akwiyajo, yani a Yeshu.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhabhatishwenje kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with other tongues and prophesied.
Bhai, a Pauli gubhaabhishilenje makono, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo akwaatulushilangaga, gubhatandwibhenje kubheleketa luga inape na londola.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
Pubhalinginji bhandunji bhanabhalume kuishila likumi limo na bhabhili.
8 He entered into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning the Kingdom of God.
Kwa myei jitatu a Pauli bhatendaga jinjila nshinagogi, bhalibheleketa gwangali bhoga, bhalibhuyana na bhandunji na bhalikwaakwiyanga ga Ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu.
9 But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the crowd, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
Ikabheje bhananji gubhataukenje, gubhakanilenje kukulupalila, gubhatandwibhenje kubheleketa yangali ya mmbone ga mpanda gwa Bhakulungwa pa lugwinjili. Penepo a Pauli gubhajabhwile nikwalekanga, gubhaatolilenje kunyenje bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhakungulwishe nabhonji na bhuyana na bhandunji kila lyubha nnyumba jimo ja shelemala jika mundu jumo, lina lyakwe Tilanushi.
10 This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Gubhapundile kutenda nneyo kwa yaka ibhili mpaka bhashilambo bhowe bha ku Ashia na Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki, gubhapilikenenje lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa.
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
A Nnungu gubhatendile ilapo yapunda kupitila a Pauli.
12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the evil spirits went out.
Bhandunji bhatendaga tolanga itambaa ya kwiungutila matukuta na nngubho ya a Pauli, nipeleka kubhalwelenji, nilamiywanga ilwele yabhonji na bhakwetenje maoka nipata kuleshelelwa.
13 But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."
Bhayaudi bhananji bhatendaga pitangana ako na koko pita kwaashoyanga bhandunji maoka, gubhalinjilenje kulugula lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu kubhandunji bha shikilwanga maoka, bhalinkutinji, “Ngunakunng'amulishanga kwa lina lya a Yeshu bhaalunguywa na a Pauli.”
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Bhashinkupagwanga bhana shabha bha a Shekewa bhakulungwa bha bhaabhishila bha Shiyaudi, mubhalinginji munkumbi gwa bhatendangaga nneyo.
15 The evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?"
Ikabheje lioka jula gwabhajangwilenje, “A Yeshu naamanyi na a Pauli naamanyi, ikabheje mmanganyanji ashi gani?”
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was, having leapt on them, having overpowered them all, prevailed against them so that they fled from that house naked and wounded.
Na mundu jwa shikilwa jula akwaaumbilangaga bhowe, gwabhapundilenje mashili. Na bhana bha a Shekewa bhala gubhakopokengene lubhilo pa nyumba pala bhauleywenje na bhalinginji makonope.
17 This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Jene nganijo jikushumaga kubhandu bhowe bhatamanganaga ku Epesho, ku Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki. Bhowe gubhajogopenje. Nigubhalikushiyenje lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.
Bhakilishitu bhabhagwinji gubhaikopoyenje pa lugwinjili kukwipeta ga yangali ya mmbone ibhaitendangaga.
19 Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Na bhananji bhatendangaga ya uabhi, gubhapelekenje itabhu yabhonji, guijoshilwe moto palugwinjili. Bhakabhalanganyanjeje galama ja itabhu ila, guiishile mamilioni ga mmbiya.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
Kwa nneyo lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa gulipundile kushuma na kukola mashili.
21 Now after these things had ended, Paul determined 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."
Gakapiteje genego, a Pauli gubhatumbilile muntima gwabho kwenda ku Yelushalemu kupitila ku Makedonia na ku Akaya. Gubhashite, “Nng'ikaga kweneko ngunapinga ngakubhone ku Loma.”
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
Kwa nneyo, gubhaatumilenje bhaajanguta bhabho bhabhili, a Timoteo na a Elashito, bhaalongolelanje kwenda ku Makedonia, bhalabho gubhatemi kashoko ku Ashia.
23 About that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way.
Gene malangago guikoposhele nnjasha jikulungwa ku Epesho kwa ligongo lya Mpanda gwa Bhakulungwa gula.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Ashinkupagwa mundu jumo nshipala lina lyakwe Demetulushi, liengo lyakwe pulyaaliji kualaya kwa madini ga hela nyumba yaishoko ika nnungu jwankongwe ashemwaga Atemi. Lyene liengolyo lyatendaga kwapanganga pwaida bhatumishi bhakwe.
25 whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, "Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
Demetulushi gwabhashemilenje bhakamulangaga gene maengogo na bhandunji bhananji bhakamulangaga liengo lyolyo, gwabhalugulilenje, “Ashalume ajangu, mmumanyinji kuti mwenemu mutupatila mmbiya.
26 You see and hear, that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands.
Na nnaino nnipilikananga na kwiibhonela mwaashayene ibhatenda a Pauli, nngabha pa Epesho pepano, ikabhe ku Ashia kowe. Bhalabho bhanakwiya na kwaatendebhuyanga bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhakundanje kuti ialaywa kwa makono ga bhandunji nngabha ashinnungu.
27 Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence, whom all Asia and the world worships."
Kwa nneyo kujogoya kwakwe nngabha ga petekuywa liengo lyetupe, ikabhe nkali nyumba jika nnungu Atemi jipinga petekuywa. Kungai upalume gwa bhene bhaatindibhalilwa pa shilambo sha Ashia na shilambolyo shiupele.”
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and began to shout, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
Bhakapilikananjeje genego, guyaashimilenje, gubhatandwibhenje kujobhela bhalinkutinji. “Bhakulungwa ni Atemi bha ku Epesho!”
29 The city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's companions in travel.
Shilambo showe shikugumbalaga nnjasha. Gubhaakamulenje a Gayo na a Alishitako, bhandunji bha ku Makedonia, bhalinginji mwanja gumo na a Pauli, gubhaapelekenje lubhilo mpaka ku lubhala lwa ing'ando.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples did not allow him.
Na a Pauli bhapingaga jinjila pakati lugwinjili, ikabheje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakwaalimbiyangaga.
31 And also some of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to venture into the theater.
Ashikalongolele bhananji bha shene shilambo sha Ashia shila, bhalinginji ashaambwiga ajabho, gubhatumilnje ntenga gwa kwaashondelesheya bhanajende kwiilanguya kulubhala lwa ing'ando.
32 Some therefore shouted one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them did not know why they had come together.
Penepo bhananji bhalijobhelenga shana nnei na bhananji shana nneyo, mpaka lugwinjili lula lukupuganikaga. Bhabhagwinji bhangashimanyanga shiumilo shibhaimanilenje pepala.
33 They brought Alexander out of the crowd, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
Bhandunji bhananji gubhaganishiyenje kuti shiumilo a Alekishanda, pabha Bhayaudi bhashinkwaatendanga bhajende mmujo. Bhai, a Alekishanda gubhajinwile nkono nkupinga bhandunji bhapumulanje bhalipinga bheleketa nkwiitapula pa lugwinjili lwa bhandu lula.
34 But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours shouted, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
Ikabheje bhakamumanyanjeje kuti bhalabho Bhayaudi, bhowenji gubhajobhelenje gwanakamo bhalinkutinji, “Atemi bha pa Epesho ni bhakulungwa!” Gubhajobhelenje nneyo kwa mashaa gabhili.
35 When the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "You men of Ephesus, is there anyone who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
Kungai bhaajandika bha shilambo gubhakombwele kwaapumuyanga, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmashilambo bha pa Epesho, kila mundu amumanyi kuti shilambo sha Epesho shino ni nkugoya jwa nyumba jika nnungu Atemi na nkugoya jwa shindu shigwile kukopoka kunnungu.
36 Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.
Jwakwapi mundu jwa tauka gegano. Kwa nneyo, mwitimalikanje, nnatendanje shindu shoshowe gwamba.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
Nshikwashemanga abha bhandunjibha apano nkali shakwa shibhajibhilenje nnyumba jika nnungu wala kuntukana nnungu jwetu jwankongwe.”
38 If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
“Bhai, ibhaga Demetulushi na bhatumishi ajakwe bhakwetenje shalugula sha bhene bhanganyanjibha, lupali lukumbi na bhanangulungwa bha shilambo bhapalinji, bhakalugulane kweneko.
39 But if you seek anything further, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Na ibhaga nkuloleyanga gana, shigagumbwe pa lukumbi lwa manyika na bhashilambo.
40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning this day's riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we would not be able to give an account of this commotion."
Pabha gakoposhele leloga yapinjikwe tulugulwe kwa kumbuya nnjasha. Ai nnjashai yangali shiumilo na shitulepele kutaya shiumilo shammbone sha yene nnjashai.”
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Bhakabheleketanjeje genego, gubhapwilingenye lukumbi.
