Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus. And finding certain disciples,
Afolos firen koranti, Bulus kentangum bitine diyele con bo cinanr lor Afisa. fou tak co fiya kangem nob bwanka.
2 he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, No, we did not even hear whether there is a Holy Spirit.
Bulus yici kom yo yuwa tangbe ka fiya kom ni bilenke cin ciya, o-ong nyo nuwambo fulen yuwa tangbeko wucakke wi.
3 And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
Bulus la ki yuka mwenge ko wini kom mane, ciki yuka mwenge Yahaya.
4 Then said Paul, John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him that was coming after him; that is, on Jesus.
Bulus ciya ki yahaya ma nubo nen yuka mwenge yiloka, yiki kom ne bilenke wo a boti bwiti bwiko cek, Yesu.
5 And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Nubo nuwa nyori, co ci yu cinen mwembo ki den teluwe Yesu.
6 And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Di la Bulus yoti kanko dor cer dila yuwa tangbeko wucakke, yirau dor cer, cin tok ker kange nyitin kange to ka dukume.
7 And the men were about twelve in all.
Cin dim bi kate kwob shilombo yob.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
Bulus doken kor bi waber co merangti ki bi kwan bwiyer na cuka taar ce. bwantenti ci mor fowaka keret, co fwetang nubonenti ciya ne bilenke, dor dike tabi na liyar kwamaro ce.
9 But when some were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of the way [[of the Lord]] before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of Tyrannus.
Dila kangem yahudawa bongum, cin ko bwankako, di cin yoten kanka nure Almasiya kabum mwerka nobek. Nyori Bulus kwab cinen wari kange nubo ne bilenke, yoten merangkako mor merangka Tyrannus.
10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Nyo co matiye dim curo yob, yaken biten Asia nuwan ker kwamaro, yahudawa kange Helinawa.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
Kwama ma nangen do dur kan Bulus.
12 so that even handkerchiefs, or aprons, were carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
Wo nubo nuwa bo luma fiya luma twirak ciyeko dim. yowako bwiko ciru nubo nen, ninga, kange kelkelito, yuwako bwirko ci cerangum bwi nobe. La cin yo lalang kwabka bwi Bulus ce.
13 Then some of the wandering Jewish exorcists undertook to name over those who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by that Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
Yahudawa kangem nub bowab wi cin dob fiye co neneu, cin tu dor cero nin na cin ma nange ki den Yesu, ciki nyo dokkom mor den Yesu wo Bulus ma biwerer cerotiye, kom cerum”.
14 And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Nubo ma dike wo ci bi neber, bibeyo lo nii wabe durko kange bweyude dendo Sceva wii kibi bei niber wo ma dikero wo tieyu.
15 And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?
Yuwako bwirko kari ki ma nyomom Yesu, ma nyomom bulus la kumeu, bi we?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them both, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
La yuwako bwirko bwirko mor nii kwenancinenten lam ci cok, ci cer wi ku we cuwo kwancer ki deti.
17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Wuro yilam dike nyomom nyome fiye nubo wiye gwam, Yahudawa kange Helenawa nubo yim Afisa. Cin nuwa tai kambo ken, den teluwwe Yesu fiya duktangka.
18 And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
Nob bwankabo dutce tak, ci bo ci kiye nangendo bwirko ci mane.
19 Many also of those who had practised magical 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.
Nob buwabo cin bo ki bifumer ciyero cin twirangum kabum nobem wo ci kiye dike a tatiye, Lam bikate kwini nung na mwindo ce.
20 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
La ker kwamaro yalati kibi kwan nure dutce.
21 And when these things were ended, Paul resolved to pass through Macedonia and Achaia, and to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
Kambo Bulus dim nangen cero na bibweret kwamaroce Afisa, yuwa tanbgeko bwanten ki co nure Makidoniya kange Akiya dor nuret, cin yaken Ursalima, co ki, Bwiko ma ferenne, tamyo ya Roma.
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
Bulus twom bibei tomange ce yob, Timoti, kange Erastus, firen Makidoniya, nobuwo tikan ceu.
23 And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
Di la co ki bwici con nintanci firen Asiya nyobi dob. Dila kobkankako dur kweni afisa ker dor nure do wo.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
Knage nii kwabi dendo Dimatrayus wuro Tuu fulen bwiner tiye wo Diyana ce, wo nangendo bo nob kwabi to nin ti fiya ka kambo ken.
25 And having called them together, with the workmen of like occupation, he said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth;
La cin mwer nub kwabiyo yici ki, kom nyomom ki kwabiyo wo bo fiya kiyemer doka ti dutce.
26 and ye see and hear, that this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, not only of Ephesus, but of almost all Asia, saying, that those are not gods, which are made with hands.
Kom to, kom nuwa ki kebo ka afisa, dila gwam biten asiya Bulus wo bolom nubo dutce. Yiti ki “Fulen da kange mani ci yweltiki kange”.
27 And there is not only danger that this branch of our business will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.
Kebo kwabi beto a fiyakomkati ki kwace, dila bikur fulen bero Diyana durku a yilam manki nangen. Nyon ca lem dur cero. Co kange biten Asiya gwam, Kange dorbitiner wabko tiye.
28 And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
Di cin nuwa nyori, ci mam funer kambo ken, cin co bi cor ki diro kwamer “Nii dur co Diyana wo Afisa”.
29 And the city was filled with confusion; and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel.
Cinan loro gwam dim ka bwali, nubo tibranbo yaka fiye mwerka. Fiya cuwo cin tam far yame ce Bulus, Gayus, kange Aristarchus, borombo bou Makidoniya.
30 And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him.
Bulus mani naco do mor nobe, di nob bwanka cebo yuwanco.
31 And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre.
Nyo farub Bulus cebo kangembo wo nubo durtinim yare Asiya cin tom cinen ki kemi kwam kwame ca dore tare.
32 Some therefore were crying one thing, and some another; for the assembly was in confusion, and the greater part knew not wherefore they had come together.
Kange nob cuk kange dikerti, kangem ken cuk kange dikerti, wori nobe kweri nero kayam. Dutce more ce nyombo ye bwi ci mwere.
33 And they brought forward Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward; and Alexander beckoned with his hand, desiring to make his defence to the people.
Kangem mor nubo yi Iskandari wo Yahudawa cin tung ti kabbeu, dila Iskandari cerou kung kang ceko ki ciya kumom, cwiti na ci yi nubo mwerom meu ker.
34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice for about two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
Di la kambo ci nyomom co Bayahude di gwam ciye cin kun kiyange na kang keneko yobece ci tok ti ki, “Dur ki no fiye Artimas wo Afisa.”
35 But when the Recorder had quieted the multitude, he said, Men of Ephesus, who is there among men that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the great Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
Di nii mulankako cinanloro cwo nou dor nobere, la co ki, kom nubo Afisa, we nyombo ki Afisa tiberowo fulen (Allaliri) nii dur kange fulen do yaru firen dii kwama?
36 Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
Di la ci kanang bo dike weu, daten kom kumom, kom mare kange diker kutti kutti.
37 For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Kom bo ki nubo wuro fou ku bolange, kebo dur cin nob kob, na mor bi kur wabe, kaka nob dilakab fiye kwama be wiye.
38 If then Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against any one, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring their charges against each other.
Tano Damatriyas kange nob kwabito wari kange ciye nan wiki kange ker dor kange ku bolange wi wumom wume, nob bolange bo wiranagi, ci a ya ki kiyange bwitici.
39 But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.
Tano kero kange wi na toka ko ceri an do tiber ciro fou mwerka beko, bo yiti dok-doke.
40 For we are in danger of being called to answer concerning this day's riot, there being no ground on which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse.
Bilenke boki no mor bitore kange kwalkanke wo bwi duweneu. bo manki dike ba torti dor dike wo bwiye, co tok nyori co, ci yo nobe.
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Kambo ca nuwa nyori la con dob nubo yalkange.
