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,
Apolo pubhaliji ku Kolinto, a Pauli gubhapite mwilambo ya kuntundu, gubhaishe ku Epesho gubhaaimenenje bhaajiganywa bhowepe.
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.
Gubhaabhushiyenje, “Nkakulupalilanjeje mwaposhelenje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo?” Bhalabhonji gubhajangwilenje, “Ntape! Numbe tukanabhepilikana kuti apali Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.”
3 And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
Kwa nneyo a Pauli gubhaabhushiyenje, “Igala mwabhatishwenje ubhatisho gwashi?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Ubhatisho gwa a Yowana.”
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.
A Pauli gubhashite, “Ubhatisho gwa a Yowana pugwaaliji gwa langula kuti bhandunji bhaipetilenje. A Yowana bhatendaga kwaabhalanjilanga bhandunji kuti bhankulupalilanje akwiyajo, yani a Yeshu.”
5 And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhabhatishwenje kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu.
6 And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Bhai, a Pauli gubhaabhishilenje makono, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo akwaatulushilangaga, gubhatandwibhenje kubheleketa luga inape na londola.
7 And the men were about twelve in all.
Pubhalinginji bhandunji bhanabhalume kuishila likumi limo na bhabhili.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
Kwa myei jitatu a Pauli bhatendaga jinjila nshinagogi, bhalibheleketa gwangali bhoga, bhalibhuyana na bhandunji na bhalikwaakwiyanga ga Ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu.
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.
Ikabheje bhananji gubhataukenje, gubhakanilenje kukulupalila, gubhatandwibhenje kubheleketa yangali ya mmbone ga mpanda gwa Bhakulungwa pa lugwinjili. Penepo a Pauli gubhajabhwile nikwalekanga, gubhaatolilenje kunyenje bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhakungulwishe nabhonji na bhuyana na bhandunji kila lyubha nnyumba jimo ja shelemala jika mundu jumo, lina lyakwe Tilanushi.
10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Gubhapundile kutenda nneyo kwa yaka ibhili mpaka bhashilambo bhowe bha ku Ashia na Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki, gubhapilikenenje lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
A Nnungu gubhatendile ilapo yapunda kupitila a Pauli.
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.
Bhandunji bhatendaga tolanga itambaa ya kwiungutila matukuta na nngubho ya a Pauli, nipeleka kubhalwelenji, nilamiywanga ilwele yabhonji na bhakwetenje maoka nipata kuleshelelwa.
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.
Bhayaudi bhananji bhatendaga pitangana ako na koko pita kwaashoyanga bhandunji maoka, gubhalinjilenje kulugula lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu kubhandunji bha shikilwanga maoka, bhalinkutinji, “Ngunakunng'amulishanga kwa lina lya a Yeshu bhaalunguywa na a Pauli.”
14 And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Bhashinkupagwanga bhana shabha bha a Shekewa bhakulungwa bha bhaabhishila bha Shiyaudi, mubhalinginji munkumbi gwa bhatendangaga nneyo.
15 And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?
Ikabheje lioka jula gwabhajangwilenje, “A Yeshu naamanyi na a Pauli naamanyi, ikabheje mmanganyanji ashi gani?”
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.
Na mundu jwa shikilwa jula akwaaumbilangaga bhowe, gwabhapundilenje mashili. Na bhana bha a Shekewa bhala gubhakopokengene lubhilo pa nyumba pala bhauleywenje na bhalinginji makonope.
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.
Jene nganijo jikushumaga kubhandu bhowe bhatamanganaga ku Epesho, ku Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki. Bhowe gubhajogopenje. Nigubhalikushiyenje lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu
18 And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
Bhakilishitu bhabhagwinji gubhaikopoyenje pa lugwinjili kukwipeta ga yangali ya mmbone ibhaitendangaga.
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.
Na bhananji bhatendangaga ya uabhi, gubhapelekenje itabhu yabhonji, guijoshilwe moto palugwinjili. Bhakabhalanganyanjeje galama ja itabhu ila, guiishile mamilioni ga mmbiya.
20 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
Kwa nneyo lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa gulipundile kushuma na kukola mashili.
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.
Gakapiteje genego, a Pauli gubhatumbilile muntima gwabho kwenda ku Yelushalemu kupitila ku Makedonia na ku Akaya. Gubhashite, “Nng'ikaga kweneko ngunapinga ngakubhone ku Loma.”
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
Kwa nneyo, gubhaatumilenje bhaajanguta bhabho bhabhili, a Timoteo na a Elashito, bhaalongolelanje kwenda ku Makedonia, bhalabho gubhatemi kashoko ku Ashia.
23 And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
Gene malangago guikoposhele nnjasha jikulungwa ku Epesho kwa ligongo lya Mpanda gwa Bhakulungwa gula.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
Ashinkupagwa mundu jumo nshipala lina lyakwe Demetulushi, liengo lyakwe pulyaaliji kualaya kwa madini ga hela nyumba yaishoko ika nnungu jwankongwe ashemwaga Atemi. Lyene liengolyo lyatendaga kwapanganga pwaida bhatumishi bhakwe.
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;
Demetulushi gwabhashemilenje bhakamulangaga gene maengogo na bhandunji bhananji bhakamulangaga liengo lyolyo, gwabhalugulilenje, “Ashalume ajangu, mmumanyinji kuti mwenemu mutupatila mmbiya.
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.
Na nnaino nnipilikananga na kwiibhonela mwaashayene ibhatenda a Pauli, nngabha pa Epesho pepano, ikabhe ku Ashia kowe. Bhalabho bhanakwiya na kwaatendebhuyanga bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhakundanje kuti ialaywa kwa makono ga bhandunji nngabha ashinnungu.
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.
Kwa nneyo kujogoya kwakwe nngabha ga petekuywa liengo lyetupe, ikabhe nkali nyumba jika nnungu Atemi jipinga petekuywa. Kungai upalume gwa bhene bhaatindibhalilwa pa shilambo sha Ashia na shilambolyo shiupele.”
28 And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
Bhakapilikananjeje genego, guyaashimilenje, gubhatandwibhenje kujobhela bhalinkutinji. “Bhakulungwa ni Atemi bha ku Epesho!”
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.
Shilambo showe shikugumbalaga nnjasha. Gubhaakamulenje a Gayo na a Alishitako, bhandunji bha ku Makedonia, bhalinginji mwanja gumo na a Pauli, gubhaapelekenje lubhilo mpaka ku lubhala lwa ing'ando.
30 And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him.
Na a Pauli bhapingaga jinjila pakati lugwinjili, ikabheje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakwaalimbiyangaga.
31 And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre.
Ashikalongolele bhananji bha shene shilambo sha Ashia shila, bhalinginji ashaambwiga ajabho, gubhatumilnje ntenga gwa kwaashondelesheya bhanajende kwiilanguya kulubhala lwa ing'ando.
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.
Penepo bhananji bhalijobhelenga shana nnei na bhananji shana nneyo, mpaka lugwinjili lula lukupuganikaga. Bhabhagwinji bhangashimanyanga shiumilo shibhaimanilenje pepala.
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.
Bhandunji bhananji gubhaganishiyenje kuti shiumilo a Alekishanda, pabha Bhayaudi bhashinkwaatendanga bhajende mmujo. Bhai, a Alekishanda gubhajinwile nkono nkupinga bhandunji bhapumulanje bhalipinga bheleketa nkwiitapula pa lugwinjili lwa bhandu lula.
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!
Ikabheje bhakamumanyanjeje kuti bhalabho Bhayaudi, bhowenji gubhajobhelenje gwanakamo bhalinkutinji, “Atemi bha pa Epesho ni bhakulungwa!” Gubhajobhelenje nneyo kwa mashaa gabhili.
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?
Kungai bhaajandika bha shilambo gubhakombwele kwaapumuyanga, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmashilambo bha pa Epesho, kila mundu amumanyi kuti shilambo sha Epesho shino ni nkugoya jwa nyumba jika nnungu Atemi na nkugoya jwa shindu shigwile kukopoka kunnungu.
36 Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
Jwakwapi mundu jwa tauka gegano. Kwa nneyo, mwitimalikanje, nnatendanje shindu shoshowe gwamba.
37 For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Nshikwashemanga abha bhandunjibha apano nkali shakwa shibhajibhilenje nnyumba jika nnungu wala kuntukana nnungu jwetu jwankongwe.”
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.
“Bhai, ibhaga Demetulushi na bhatumishi ajakwe bhakwetenje shalugula sha bhene bhanganyanjibha, lupali lukumbi na bhanangulungwa bha shilambo bhapalinji, bhakalugulane kweneko.
39 But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.
Na ibhaga nkuloleyanga gana, shigagumbwe pa lukumbi lwa manyika na bhashilambo.
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.
Pabha gakoposhele leloga yapinjikwe tulugulwe kwa kumbuya nnjasha. Ai nnjashai yangali shiumilo na shitulepele kutaya shiumilo shammbone sha yene nnjashai.”
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Bhakabheleketanjeje genego, gubhapwilingenye lukumbi.
