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,
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, 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.
Paulusi nichati kubali, “Mubatambuli luhuho lujolola na hamubazumini?” Chibamucho kuti, “Nee, kakwina mane ni chitubazuwi kuamana ni Luhuho Lujolola.”
3 And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
Paulusi abati, “Linu mubakolobezwa muchinzi?” Ni chibati, “Munkolobezo ya Joani,
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.
Linu Paulusi netaba, “Joani abakolobezi chenkolobezo yenswalelo. Abawambili bantu kuti bayelele kuzumina kumuntu yokeza mwisule lyakwe, kokuta kuti, nji kwa Jesu.”
5 And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Bantu habazuwa bulyo, nibakolobezwa mwizina lya Simwine Jesu.
6 And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Imi linu Paulusi habatula mayanza hewulu, Luhuho Lujolola nichilwabenjila mi nibawamba mundimi zisiyenesiyene mi nibatanikiza zikezite.
7 And the men were about twelve in all.
Kuhindilila bonse ibali bakwame babali kulikana ikumi ni bobele.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading 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 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.
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 continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Abazwili habusu kuwamba zilimo zobele kuti mane nibantu bekala mwa Asia, Judea ni mwa Greek bazuwe linzwi lye Ireeza.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
Ireeza aba kupanga zimpangaliko zijolola ca mayanza a Paulusi,
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.
mane ni balwala babali kuhola, Niluhuho lubilala luba kuzwa kubali, Habahinda kataulo ni ka apron hamubili wa Paulusi.
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.
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 seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
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, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?
Luhuho lubilala lubabetabi, “Nizi Jesu, ni Paulusi; cwale iwe njewe ni?”
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.
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 dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was 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 And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
Imi hape, bantu bonse babazumini kubakela zive nikuzumina kuzintu zibi zibaba pangi.
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.
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 the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
Njikuti linzwi lye Ireeza liba ambalakani munzila ikolete.
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.
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 into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
Paulusi catuma batumiwa bakwe bobele baba mutusi, Timothy ni Erastus kwa Macedonia. Kono iye abali kusikala mwa Asia inako.
23 And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
Mweyo inako cikwabuka cifoyoyo mwa Efese kuamana ni Nzila.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
Demetrius yopanga isilivela ya Diana, Cikwaba ni bisinisi kubantu babeza.
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;
Cakopanya babeleki bonse bamusebezi wa kubeza ni kuwamba, “Nfumwangu, wizi kuti mowunu musebezi tupanga masheleni mangi.
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.
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 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.
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 hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
Habazuwa bulyo, bababengi ni kulila, Cibawamba, “Bukando bwina ha Diana yozwa mwa Efese.”
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.
Muleneñi onse babalyangani, cibahwei kucibaka cazizanino. Paulusi ni basindikizi bakwe mumusipili wabo, Gaius ni Aristarchus bazwa kwa Macedonia.
30 And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him.
Paulusi abali kusaka kwinjila mukati kenyangela kono batumiwa baba musilelezi.
31 And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre.
Bonse batompeha ba cilalo ca Asia balikani bakwe cibamutumina liñusa kumukumbila kuti sanzi enjili mucibaka ca zizanino.
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.
Bamwi bantu baba kuhuwana cintu conke, mane inyangela ciba lyangene, Bungi bwabo kana baba kwizi kuti cinzi habakeza bonse bonse.
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.
Majuda cibaleta Alexander habusu bwe nyangela. Alexander abali kulila mumayanza kutolokela inyangela.
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!
kono habeza kulemuha kuti Mujuda, bonse cibalila ca linzwi nyonke inhola zobele, “Bukando nji bwa Diana yozwa mwa Efese.”
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?
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 Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
Hamubona izi zintu zipangahala, muswanela kutontola niku sahwelela zintu.
37 For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Bantu bamwaleta kumulawo kana basa bamwi tempele kapa kuwamba zibi kuamana ni Ireeza wetu.
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.
Heba, Demetriusi ni mubeleki yobeza kabazuwani, mulao kuwina wiyalukite. Mubasiye bazekisane.
39 But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.
Kono heba kwina zimwi zilukela kuambolwa, muzilukiswe hande comulao.
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.
kakuti kwina inkozi kuamana nindaba za pangahala sunu, kakwina intatululo iwambiwe kuamana nei indaba, kese tuwole kuitatulusa.”
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Hamana kuwamba izo calukulula bantu.
