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,
Teo t’ie e Korinto añe t’i Apolosy, le niranga i tane aboy t’i Paoly naho nipoteake e Efesosy ao vaho nitendreke mpiòke,
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.
le nanoa’e ty hoe: Rinambe’ areo hao i Arofo Masiñey te niantoke? Aiy! hoe ty natoi’ iareo: mbe tsy nijanji’ay i Arofo Masiñey.
3 And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
Aa le hoe re: Ami’ty inoñe arè ty nampiliporañe anahareo? Ty fampilipora’ i Jaonay, hoe iareo.
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.
Aa le hoe t’i Paoly: Toe nandipotse ami’ty fandiporam-pisolohoañe t’i Jaona, hatokisa’ iareo i manonjohy azey: Iesoà izay.
5 And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Ie jinanji’ iereo, le nalipotse ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà Talè.
6 And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Le nanampeza’ i Paoly fitàñe naho nivotraha’ i Arofo Masiñey naho nilikoliko vaho nitoky.
7 And the men were about twelve in all.
Va’e folo ro’amby indaty rey.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
Nizilik’ am-pitontonañ’ao t’i Paoly le nilañoñe telo volañe, am-pahavaniañe nitaroñe naho nañosike iareo amy Fifehean’ Añaharey.
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.
Aa ie nihagàñe ty ila’e naho nanjehatse mbore nanivetive i Lalañey añatrefa’ i màroy, le nisitaha’e naho nave’e o mpiòkeo vaho nañotsohotso boak’ andro an-dakilasi’ i Tiranò ao.
10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Nitoloñe’ iereo roe taoñe izay, aa le hene nahajanjiñe ty tsara’ Iehovà o mpimoneñe Asiao, ndra Jiosy ndra Grika.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
Nitolon-draha tsitantane am-pità’ i Paoly t’i Andriañahare,
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.
ie nendeseñe boak’ an-tsandri’e ty sarimbo ndra masoara mb’ amo silokeo le nifiañe i hasilokey vaho nifaok’ añe o angatseo.
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.
Aa le rinambe’ o Jiosy mirererere mpitrobo-angatseo ty fikaikaihañe i tahina’ Iesoày ambone’ o vinolevolen-kokolampao, ami’ty hoe: Lilie’ay irehe ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà tseize’ i Paoliy.
14 And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Nanao izay ka ty anadahy fito’ i Skeva, Jiosy, talèm-pisoroñe,
15 And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?
aa le tinoi’ i anga-dratiy ty hoe: Fantako t’Iesoa, apotako i Paoly, fa ia v’inahareoo?
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.
Le niambotraha’ indaty niangara’ i kokolampaiy naho fonga ginore’e vaho rineba’e, le nibotatsak’ amy anjombay iereo nibongibongy naho nitsiri-dio.
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.
Kanao hene naharendreke izay ndra Jiosy ndra Grika mpimoneñe Efesosy ao le nivotraha’ ty eveñe, vaho nonjoneñe ty tahina’ Iesoà Talè.
18 And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
Aa le maro amo nahafiatoo ty nimb’eo nisoloho, vaho namoraborake o sata’eo.
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.
Natonto’ ty mpisikily maro ka o boke’eo naho niforototoe’ iereo am-batraike. Ie vinolily, le nizoeñe te drakma lime ale ty vili’ irezay.
20 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
Aa le nienatse an-kaozarañe ty tsara’ Iehovà vaho nahareketse.
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.
Ie niheneke, le sinafiri’ i Paoly añ’arofo ty hiranga i Makedonia naho i Akaia mb’e Ierosaleme añe; aa hoe re: Naho hirik’ añe le tsi-mahay tsy hitilike i Roma ka iraho.
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
Aa le nampihitrife’e mb’e Makedonia mb’eo ty mpitoro’e roe, i Timoty naho i Erasto, ie nitambatse an-tane’ Asia ao heike.
23 And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
Ie amy zay, nipoñake ty fitrobotroboañe jabajaba ty amy Lalañey.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
Teo ty mpanefe vola foty atao Demetrio, mpamboatse hazomanga volafoty ho amy Artemise, ze nampivangongo ty fitoloña’ o mpanefeo.
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;
Kinoi’e hivory o mpitrao-tolon-drahao, vaho hoe ty asa’e: O androanavio, fohi’ areo te o tolon-drahao ro mampiraorao an-tika;
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.
naho isa’ areo naho janji’ areo te tsy e Efesosy avao fa didý tsy mahatsitsike i Asia ty fañosiha’ i Paoly i màroy hiamboho, ie manao te tsy ndrañahare ka o satam-pitàñeo.
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.
Aa tsy te i balibalin-tikañey avao ty ho mavoeñe, fa honjirañe ka ty anjomban-drañahare-ampela Artemisey hampifotsak’ i fiambesam-bolonahe’ey ie italahoa’ i Asia iaby naho ty voatse toy.
28 And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
Ie nahajanjiñe iereo, le nilifom-piforoforo vaho songa nikoràke ty hoe: Ra’elahy t’i Artemise’ o nte Efesosio!
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.
Aa le nitsitsike fivalitaboahañe i rovay, le nihitrihitry hoe raike mb’an-tameañe ey, naho kinozozo’ iareo t’i Gaio naho i Aristarko nte-Makedonia, mpitrao-lia amy Paoly.
30 And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him.
Ho naneñateña amy fiharondembohañ’ ao t’i Paoly fe tsy napo’ o mpiòkeo.
31 And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre.
Nañitrik’ ama’e ka ty ila’ o bei’ i Asia rañe’eo, ty tsy hitoaña’e i tameañey.
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.
Aa le nikoràke hoe zao ty ila’e naho hoe izay ty ila’e amy te nifamalitaboak’ i fivoriy vaho ninofi’ i màroy ty talim-pivoria’e.
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.
Tamy màroy ty nampibejañe i rahay amy Aleksandro le naronje’ o Jiosio mb’aolo mb’eo. Aa le nanondrotondro fitàñe t’i Aleksandro hiveroke amo nivorio.
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!
Fe naho nifohi’ i màroy t’ie Jiosy, le nirihòñe’ iereo an-tazataza añate’ ty roe ora ty hoe: Ra’elahy t’i Artemise’ i Efesosy!
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?
Ie nampianjiñe i lahialeñey ty silikitera’ i rovay le hoe ty asa’e: Ry ondaty nte Efesosio, Ia t’indaty tsy mahafohiñe te mpañambeñe ty anjomba’ i Artemise ra’elahy nivotrak’ atoy boak’ andindiñ’ añe, ty rova’ o nte-Efesosio?
36 Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
Aa kanao tsy hay liereñe, le kitra’e hianjiñe nahareo tsy hanao ty hajagarigarìañe,
37 For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
amy te nasese’ areo mb’etoa ondaty tsy mpamaok’ anjomba miavake vaho tsy mpanivetive an-drañahare-ampela-tikañey.
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.
Aa naho te haneseke ondaty t’i Demetrio naho o mpanao satam-pitàñeo, le misokake i zakay, vaho ao o sorotào, angao iereo hifampaneseke.
39 But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.
Hera t’ie aman-draha hafa tea’ areo ho bentareñe, fe am-pivory to ao ty ilaharañe.
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.
Toe marivo ho sangieñe tika ty amy hotakotak’ anindroaniy, ie tsy aman-taly hamolilia’ay ty fañotakotahañe toy.
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Ie niheneke i saontsi’ey, le naba’e añe i màroy.
