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,
Ke Apollos el muta Corinth, Paul el fahsr apunla facl ma oan epang, ac tuku nu Ephesus. Ke el sun acn we el osun nu sin kutu mwet lulalfongi
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.
ac siyuk selos, “Ku kowos tuh eis Ngun Mutal ke pacl se kowos ekla mwet lulalfongi?” Ac elos topuk, “Kut tiana lohng mu oasr Ngun Mutal.”
3 And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
Ac Paul el sifilpa siyuk selos, “Na baptais fuka kowos eis ah?” Elos topuk nu sel, “Baptais se John el luti kac.”
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.
Na Paul el fahk, “Baptais lal John ma nu selos su auliyak liki ma koluk lalos, ac el oayapa fahk nu sin mwet Israel mu elos in lulalfongi in el su ac tuku tokol — aok, Jesus.”
5 And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Ke elos lohng ma inge, elos baptaisla inen Leum Jesus.
6 And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Paul el filiya paol faclos; ac Ngun Mutal tuku nu faclos; ac elos kaskas ke pusra ma siena liki kas lalos, ac fahkak kas lun God.
7 And the men were about twelve in all.
Mwet singoul luo nufon pa ke u sac.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
Paul el utyak nu ke iwen lolngok ac el kaskas pulaikna nu sin mwet uh ke malem tolu. El sramsram ac asiyuki yorolos, ac srike in furokolos in lulalfongi ke Tokosrai lun God.
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.
Tusruktu kutu selos arulana upa insialos ac tia lulalfongi, ac ye mutun walil sac elos fahk kas in akkolukye u se pangpang Mwet Fahsr ke Inkanek lun Leum. Ke ma inge Paul el fahsr lukelos ac usla mwet lulalfongi uh welul, ac el lotelos len nukewa ke lohm in tukeni se su ma sel 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.
Ouiya se inge orek ke lusen yac luo, oru mwet nukewa su muta in acn Asia, kewana mwet Jew ac mwet Greek, elos lohng ke kas lun Leum.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
God El sang ku nu sel Paul in oru mwenmen na usrnguk.
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.
Finne handkerchief ku apron ma pusralla manol Paul, fin utukla nu yurin mwet mas uh, na mas lalos ac wanginla, ac ngun fohkfok uh ac illa lukelos.
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.
Kutu mwet Jew ma forfor ac sisla ngun fohkfok elos srike in wi pac orekmakin inen Leum Jesus in oru ma inge. Elos ac fahk nu sin ngun fohkfok, “Nga sapkin nu sum ke inen Jesus su Paul el fahkak kac.”
14 And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Tamulel itkosr su wen natul Sceva, sie Mwet Tol Fulat lun mwet Jew, pa oru ma inge.
15 And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?
Tusruk ngun fohkfok el fahk nu selos, “Nga etal Jesus, ac nga etu pac kacl Paul; a kowos — su kowos an?”
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.
Mwet se ma ngun fohkfok ah oan sel el sroang nu selos ac ku lukelos. Elos kaingla liki lohm uh, koflufol ac kinkineta.
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.
Mwet Jew ac mwet pegan nukewa ma muta Ephesus elos lohng ke ma sikyak inge; ac elos nukewa arulana sangeng, ac inen Leum Jesus akfulatyeyuk yohk liki meet.
18 And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
Pus sin mwet lulalfongi uh tuku, ac sifacna fahkak ma koluk lalos ye mutun mwet uh.
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.
Pus pac sin mwet ma orek inutnut elos orani book natulos nukewa ac esukak in walil uh. Fin sisani molin book inge ac tuh oasr ke ipin silver lumngaul tausin.
20 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
Ke sripen orekma ku inge nukewa, kas lun Leum uh yokyokelik ac kui.
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.
Tukun ma inge, Paul el sulela sel in fahsr sasla Macedonia ac Achaia, na ingo lac nu Jerusalem. Ac el fahk, “Tukun nga ac sun acn inge, nga enenu na in som pac nu Rome.”
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
Ouinge el supwalla Timothy ac Erastus, luo sin mwet kasru lal, nu Macedonia, ac el muta kitin pacl in Asia.
23 And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
In pacl se inge lokoalok na upa sikyak in acn Ephesus ke sripen u se pangpang Mwet Fahsr ke Inkanek lun Leum.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
Oasr mwet orekma ke silver se pangpang Demetrius, su orek ma sruloala srisrik ke silver ma oana luman tempul lulap lun god mutan Artemis. Mwet orekma lal Demetrius eis mani na yohk ke orekma se inge.
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;
Na Demetrius el pangoneni mwet nukewa ma wi oru kain in orekma se inge, ac fahk nu selos, “Mwet wiuk in orekma, kowos etu lah kasrpasr tuku ke orekma se lasr inge.
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.
Kowos sifacna liye ac lohng ma mwet se inge Paul el oru. El fahk mu god ma orekla sin mwet uh tiana god pwaye, ac el oru mwet puspis in acn Ephesus, ac apkuran in acn Asia nufon, in lulalfongi ma el fahk uh.
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.
Sensen lasr uh pa mwet uh ac orala kas in akkolukyela orekma lasr uh. Ac tia ma sacn mukena, a kut sensen pac mu tempul lun god mutan Artemis ac wanginla kalmac, ac mwet uh ac fah tia sifil akfulatyal — god mutan se su mwet in acn Asia ac faclu nufon alu nu se uh!”
28 And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
Ke u sac lohng kas inge, elos arulana kasrkusrakak, ac wowo fahk, “Artemis lun Ephesus el fulatlana!”
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.
Fohsak se inge fahsrelik in siti sac nufon. U sac sruokilya Gaius ac Aristarchus, mwet Macedonia luo su welul Paul forfor, ac usaltalla nu nien intoe srital lulap ke siti uh.
30 And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him.
Paul sifacna el ke som ac sramsram nu sin u lulap sac, tuh mwet lulalfongi elos tia lela.
31 And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre.
Kutu sin mwet fulat lun acn we, su mwet kawuk lal, supwala pac sap soko nu sel ac kwafe elan tia som nu nien intoe srital ah.
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.
In pacl sac tukeni sac arulana fohsak: kutu mwet wowo ke siena ma, ac kutu ke sie pacna, ac pusiyen mwet uh tia etu sripen toeni lalos.
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.
Kutu mwet uh nunku mu Alexander pa sripauk, mweyen mwet Jew uh pahtkolak elan tu meet. Na Alexander el kolak paol nu sin mwet uh in akmisyelos, ac el srike in aketeya nu selos ma orek uh.
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!
Tuh ke elos akilenak lah el sie mwet Jew, elos nukewa tukeni wowoyak ke lusen ao luo, ac fahk, “Artemis lun Ephesus el fulatlana!”
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?
Na mwet sim lun siti uh el akmisyela u sac, ac fahk, “Mwet Ephesus, mwet nukewa etu lah siti lun Ephesus pa liyaung tempul lun Artemis fulatlana, ac oayapa eot saok se ma putatla inkusrao me uh.
36 Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
Wangin mwet ku in lafwekin ma inge. Ouinge kowos in misla, ac tia oru kutena ouiya lalfon.
37 For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Kowos use mwet inge nu inge, a wangin ma elos pisre in tempul, ku fahk kas koluk ke god mutan lasr uh.
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.
Fin oasr mwe tukak lal Demetrius ac mwet orekma lal uh lain kutena mwet, na oasr mwet fulat lasr, ac oasr pac len in nununku. Elos ku in oru tukak lalos we.
39 But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.
A fin oasr pac ma yohk liki ma kowos suk, enenu in aksuwosyeyuk ke meeting lun mwet fulat lun siti uh, fal nu ke ma sap lasr.
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.
Tukun ma sikyak misenge uh, oasr sensen lasr lah mwet uh ac fahk mu kut pa purakak wowon sac. Ke wangin sripa ma sramtauk fohs sac, oru wangin sripa wo ma kut ac ku in fahk kac.”
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Tukun el fahk ma inge, el folokonelik u sac.
