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,
Apollos-na Corinth-ta leiringeida, Paul-na manung changsinna leiba lambida laklaga Ephesus-ta thunglammi. Mapham aduda tung-inba khara thengnarammi
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.
aduga mahakna makhoida hanglak-i, “Nakhoina thajaba matamda Thawai asengba phangkhibra?” Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “Thawai Asengba ama lei haiba phaoba eikhoidi tajadri.”
3 And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
“Adu oirabadi nakhoina loukhiba baptize adu karambano?” haina Paul-na hanglak-i. Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “John-gi baptize toubiba aduni.”
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.
Maduda Paul-na hairak-i, “John-gi baptize touba adudi paptagi pukning honglaba makhoigini. Mahakki tungda lengbirakliba Ibungo Jisubu thajanaba mahakna Israel-gi misingda hairammi.”
5 And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Masi tabada makhoina Ibungo Jisugi mingda baptize lourammi.
6 And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Paul-na makhoigi mathakta khut thambibada Thawai Asengbana makhoigi mathakta lengthabiraklammi aduga makhoina atoppa lon nganglammi amasung Tengban Mapugi wa phongdoklammi.
7 And the men were about twelve in all.
Mapham aduda makhoi punna mi taranithoirom leirammi.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
Paul-na synagogue-ta changduna tha ahum chupna misingga thouna phana wa nganglammi, Tengban Mapugi leibakki maramda makhoiga khanna neinaduna makhoibu thajahannaba hotnarammi.
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.
Adubu makhoi kharadi thamoi kallammi amasung thajou haiba yaramde aduga mi pumnamakki mamangda Mapu Ibungogi Lambi adugi maramda phattana nganglammi. Maram aduna Paul-na makhoibu thadokle aduga mahakna thajabasingbu puraga Tyrannus-ki mahei tampham sangda numit khudinggi khanna neinarammi.
10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Masi chahi ani chatharammi, maram aduna Asia-gi lamda leiba mi pumnamakna Jihudi oirabasu Jihudi nattabasing oirabasu Mapu Ibungogi wa tajakhi.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
Paul-gi mapanna Tengban Mapuna thoidok hendokpa angakpa thabaksing tourammi.
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.
Paul-na sijinnaruraba khutpaiphi nattraga phi phaobana anabasinggi maphamda purakpada makhoigi anabasing pharammi amadi phattaba thawaisingna makhoidaggi thokkhirammi.
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.
Mapham amadagi mapham amada koichat chattuna phattaba thawaisingbu tanthokpa Jihudi khara leirammi. Makhoinasu Ibungo Jisugi ming sijinnaduna tanthoknaba hotnarammi. Makhoina phattaba thawaising aduda hairak-i, “Paul-na sandokpa Jisugi mingda nakhoi thoklaknaba eina yathang piri.”
14 And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Athoiba Purohit Sceva-gi machanupa taretna masi toubani.
15 And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?
Adubu phattaba thawai aduna makhoida hairak-i, “Eina Jisubu khang-i, Paul-busu khang-i adubu nakhoidi kanano?”
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.
Adudagi phattaba thawai changba nupa aduna makhoigi mathakta chongsillaktuna makhoi pumnamakpu khudum challammi. Adudagi makhoina maphi marol yaodana sok panduna yum adudagi chenthoraklammi.
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.
Ephesus-ta leiba Jihudising amadi Greek-ki mising pumnamakna masi tabada akiba poklammi amadi Ibungo Jisugi mingbu henna ikai khumnarammi.
18 And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
Thajakhraba mioi kayana thoraktuna makhoina toukhiba phattabasing adu phongna haidoklammi.
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.
Hikap yaikappa touba mi kayanasu makhoigi lairiksing adu puthoraktuna miyam mamangda mei thadoklammi. Makhoina lairiksing adugi mamal pathokpada punna lupa mayek lising yangkhei oirammi.
20 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
Matou asumna Mapu Ibungogi wahei adu pak sanna sandoklammi amadi panggal hen-gatlammi.
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.
Thoudoksing asi thoklaba matungda Paul-na Macedonia amadi Achaia phaoraga Jerusalem-da chatnaba leplammi. Mahakna hairak-i, “Eina mapham aduda chatlaba tungda Rome-dasu ei chatpa tai.”
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
Mahakpu mateng pangliba Timothy amasung Erastus-pu mahakna Macedonia-da tharammi aduga mahakna Asia-da matam kharaga leitharammi.
23 And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
Matam aduwaida Mapu Ibungogi Lambi adugi maramda Ephesus-ta achouba irang ama thoklammi.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
Maramdi Demetrius kouba lupagi potchei saba nupa amana Artemis lairembigi laisanggi mawongda lupagi laisang machasing sarammi. Aduga mahakki thabak asina khutsa heibasingda kanaba yamna pirammi.
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;
Maram aduna mahakna makhoibu amadi sinpham asiga mari leinaba thabaksuba pumnamak kouraga hairak-i, “Marupsa, sinpham asidagi eikhoina sel yamna phanglibani haiba nakhoina khangliba aduni.
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.
Houjik Paul hairiba nupa asina touriba asi nakhoina uriba amadi taribani. Eikhoi mioibagi khutna saba laisingdi Tengban Mapu natte haiduna Ephesus asida leiba mising amadi Asia-gi mapham ayambada mi mayam amabu mahakna thajahalle.
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.
Maram aduna eikhoigi sinpham asi khakta khudong thiningai oibata nattana matik chaorabi Artemis lairembigi sang asisu khudong thiningai oire aduga Asia pumnamak amadi taibangpan-gi mapham pumnamakta khurumlibi lairembi asigi matik magunsu manghallagani.”
28 And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
Makhoina masi tabada mei houna saoraduna laorak-i, “Ephesus-ki Artemis-ti matik chaobini!”
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.
Sahar adugi mapham pumnamakta charangnaba aduna thallammi. Miyamsing aduna Paul-ga chatminnaba Macedonia-gi mi ani haibadi Gaius amadi Aristarchus-pu pharaga kummei yengpham sang aduda makhoi punna hotchillammi.
30 And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him.
Miyam adugi mangda Paul-na thokpa pamlammi adubu thajabasingna mahakpu thinglammi.
31 And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre.
Paul-ga tinnaba, mapham adugi angambasing aduna mahakpu kummei yengpham sang aduda thoraktanaba haijaba warol ama mangonda tharaklammi.
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.
Tilliba mitin adu yamna charanglammi; mi kharana wa ama laorammi aduga atei mi kharana atoppa wa amamuk laorammi maramdi mi ayambana makhoi karigi mapham aduda laklibano haiba phaoba khanglamde.
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.
Miyam marakta yaoba Jihudising aduna Alexander-bu mayam mamangda inthorakpagi maramna mi kharana mahakna thok-hanbani haina khallammi. Maduda mahakna masa ngakthokchanaba wa ngangnaba mayambu tumminna leibinaba magi makhut hairammi.
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!
Adubu miyam aduna mahak asi Jihudini haiba khanglaklabada makhoi pumnamakna amata oina pung anirom “Ephesus-ki Artemis-ti matik chaobini” haina laorammi.
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?
Akonbada sahar adugi che chang panaba aduna miyam adubu tumin leihalammi. Mahakna hairak-i. “Ephesia-gi nupasa, matik chaobi Artemis-ki laisang amadi swargadagi tarakpa mahakki murti adubu Ephesus sahar asina ngak sellibani haibasi taibangpan-gi mipum khudingmakna khang-i.
36 Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
Hairibasing asi kana amatana yadaba ngamde. Maram aduna nakhoina ingthapham thok-i aduga khanthadana karisu touroidabani.
37 For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Makhoina laisangdagi karisu huranba natte aduga eikhoigi lairembida thina ngangkhibasu leite adubu nakhoina makhoibu mapham asida purakle.
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.
Aduga Demetrius amadi mahakki khutsa heiba marup mapangsingna kanagumba amagi mathakta nungaitaba leirabadi mapham asida wayel sang amadi leingak mapusing leiri, maduda makhoina maralsing adu pukhatpa yai.
39 But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.
Aduga nakhoina makha tana karigumba ama pukhatpa pamlabasu wayelgi oiba miyam tinnaba aduna lepkadabani.
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.
Ngasi thokliba thoudok asigi matungda irang houhanbagi eikhoigi ithakta maral siba yabagi akiba lei. Irang asi thok-hanbagi maram amata leite aduga eikhoina masigidamak maram piba ngamloi.”
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Masi hairaba matungda mahakna miyam tinba adu kainahankhre.
