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,
U Apolo nali hu Korintho, u Paulo ashilile hunsi izya pamwanya afishile hu Efeso atangine na manyili yhwo.
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.
U Paulo wabhabhuzya, “Huje, mwamposhiye Umpepo Ufinjile pamwahitishe?” Bhaga, “Ha' aa, atahuhwumvwe siga tahumvwizye huje huli Umpepo Ufinjile.”
3 And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
U Paulo wabhabhuuzya, “Eshi mwahoziwe?” Wozyonshii, “Abheene bhaga uwozyo wa Yohana.
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.
U Paulo waga, “U Yohana abhozizye huwozyo wa alambe. Abhabhuulile bhaala aje bhamwitishe uyo yahwinza pamande uYesu.”
5 And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Abhantu nabhuumvwa enongwa ezi bhoziwa hwitawa lya Yesu Kilisti.
6 And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
U Paulo nawabhabhishila amakhono pitwe Umpepo Ufinjile wabhishila bhanda ayanje enjango empya nakuwe.
7 And the men were about twelve in all.
Bhahali alume ilonga na bhabhili.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
U Paulo ahinjila mwisinagogi amezi gatatu. Alongozyaga enjangano na bhavute abhantu hwa Yesu nu uumwene uwa humwanya.
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.
Lelo Ayahudi bhamo bhahali na mampuli sigabhahitihaga, bhaligaga nabhayangaga ezya Yesu. U Paulo wabhefwa aKtilisti wabhala nabho muukumbi wa Tirano abhamanyizye.
10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Ahindiliye isho humaha gabhili bhonti bhabhakhalaga hu Asia bhahumvwizye izu lya Ngulubhi Ayahudi na Ayunani(Agriki).
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
Ungulubhi abhombaga amambo amagosi hukhono gwa Paulo,
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.
abhabhinu bhaponaga ata utuleso na menda gagafumile mubili gwa Paulo bhabhapalamansiaga nago bhaponaga ne Mpepo embibhi zyahepaga mwabhantu.
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.
Bhahali Ayahudi bhamo bhaali bhemazimu, bhahanzaga alitumile itawa lya Yesu hu faida yabho, bhabhabhuulaga abhantu bhabhali ne Mpepo embibhi epa hwitawa lya Yesu ula yalumbililwa nu Paulo.”
14 And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Bhabhabhombaga isho bhali saba bhahali bhanabha sikewa yahali Gosi wishibhanza sha Yahudi, Skewa.
15 And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?
Zila Impepo embibhi zyabhabhuula zyaga, “U Paulo timinye nu Yesu wope timinye amwe mwenanuu?”
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.
Zila empepo zyabhatomoshela zya bhamena ikhoni, zyabhavwalazya. Bhashimbila shabhali welele afume munyumba mula.
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.
Ijambo eli lyamanyiha hwa bhantu bhonti, Ayahudi na Giriki, bhogopa itawa lya Yesu lyatinihwa na bhantu.
18 And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
Akristo bhinji bhenza alambe, bhazibhonesya embibhi zabhabhomba.
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.
Abhantu bhabhatumilaga evitabu alagulile bhahaleta evitabu vyabhobhavipemba nu mwoto, bhabhazizye egalama yakwe yahali evipanda vyehala elfu amalongo gasanu.
20 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
Izu lya Ngulubhi lyanyampana hwonti.
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.
U Paulo nawamala imbombo yakwe hula hu Efeso Umpepo walongozya abhale hu Yerusalemu ashilile hu Makedonia na hu Akaya; Waga na nakhala uhwo nehaibhala hu Rumi.”
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
U Paulo wabhatuma amanyili bhakwe bhabhili, u Timotheo nu Erasto, bhabhamwavwize. Lelo umwene ahasagala hu Asia.
23 And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
Hula hu Efeso abhantu bhaletile efujo husababu yidala liila.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
Umuntu umo ali Sonara itawa ali yu Demetrio, alinganya ga utufwanitwihela ufwa Ungulubhi u Diana, aletile ebiashara yakwe hwa fundi.
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;
Wabhabunganya afundi bhonti abhimbombo iyo, wabhabhuula huje, “Mumenye ebiashara ene huja etipela ehela zyinyinji.
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.
Siga hu Efeso hwene, nahu Asia hwonti eshi unu uPaulo abhasulihenye abhantu aiga numo Ungulubhi yalinginywe namakhono.
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.
Nantele ehweli ehatali iyaje ebiashara yetu sihaihwanziwa, sigayibiashara nyene nu Ngulubhi ushiwi tu ugosi uDiana abhazalauliwe netezye ougosi waluwe, nantele abha Asia bhonti bhahupuuta nensi yonti.
28 And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
Nabhahumvwa isho bhahabwaga wikhatwe ni lyoyo, bhahaga, “uDiana wa bha Efeso gosi.”
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.
Umuji gwonti gwabha nefujo abhantu binjila muukumbi wiyango. Bhabhakhate bhabhashulaga nu Paulo, u Gayo nu Aristariko, bhabhafumile hu Makedonia.
30 And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him.
U Paulo ahanzaga ahwinjile mwabhali muukumbi, lelo amanyili bakwe bhaha khanizyu.
31 And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre.
Amaafisa abhe mkoa bhabhali bhakundane nu Paulo bhatumile uujumbe huje asahinjile muukumbi uwinyango.
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.
Abhantu bhachanganyikine sigabhaminye ne zyabhayanga, bhamo bhaiga eshi bhamo shila.
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.
Ayahudi bhaleta u Iskanda hwabhabhungine abhantu bhabhiha hwitagalila. U Iskanda ahabhapumya abhantu aje ayanje na bhantu, afumye amaelezo.
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!
Abhantu nabhamanya huje Iskanda Yahudi bhabwaga ibwago amasala gabhili bhaga uDiana gosi wa bha Efeso.”
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?
Usimbi we muji nawabhapumya ubhungano gula waga amwe mubhalume mubha Efeso wenu yasiga aminye huje umuji ogu gwa Efeso gwagutunza eshibhanza sha Diana ugosi nela epicha yehagwiye afume humwanya?
36 Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
Eshi poomi nasoti, ezi sigatibhomba nanali, musabhombe nahamo.
37 For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Eshi mubhaletile abhantu ebha palonzi sigabhiibha nantele sigabhalijile Ungulubhi wetu ushe.
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.
Eshi u Demetrio na bhamwabho nafundi bhakwe nkashele bhali na mashitako gagonti numuntu yayonti ikoroti lihweli wazi bhaletwe palonzi.
39 But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.
Lelo nkashele uhwanza amambo aganji tibhagalonje sheshinza.
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.
Tili muhatari iyalongwe uefujo ezi nantele sigatibhajiye azigolosye enongwa ezi.
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Nawayanga isho wabhanyampanya abhantu.
