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,
Lukale kuuti u Apologize ye aliku Korintho upaulo akakila ku kyanya na kufika kulikaja lya Efeso, pe akavonaakavona avavulanisivua vamo ukuo.
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 akam'bula, “Nde, mukamwupile uMhepo u Mwimike yemukitike?” Vakam'bula, “nambe, natulyapulike ndavule uMhepo u Mwimike.”
3 And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
U Paulo akaati, “lino umue mukofwighue ndani?” Vakaati, “Mulwofugho ulwa 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.
Kange uPaulo akamula, “U Yohana alyofwighe ulwofugho ulwa lulato. Akavavula avanhu vala kuuti mulondua kukumwitika jula juno ikwisa pa mwene, ndavule, u Yesu.”
5 And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Avanhu ye vapulike imola iiji, peva kofughua kulitavua lya Mutwa Yesu.
6 And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Lukale u Paulo yavikile amavoko gha mwene kuvanave, uMhepo u Mwimike Akita kuvanave pe akatengula kujova injovele kuviila.
7 And the men were about twelve in all.
Palikimo Avenue valyale avaghosi kijigho nava viili.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
U Paulo alyalutile kunyumba ijakufunyila akajova na Kun'kangasia amasiki gha meesi ghatatu. Alyale ilongosia kupuling'ana nakuvakwesa avaanhu vano valungime vwimila u vutua uvwa Nguluve.
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.
Looli ava Yahudi avange valyale vakali avange vano navikwitika, valyatengwile kujova amavivi kulungama musila ija Kilisite pavulongolo pa kipugha. Kange u Paulo akalekine na veene pe akavabaghula vano vikutika navene. Umwene akatengula kujova mufighono fyooni kuvukumbi uvwa Tirano.
10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Ulu lulyaghendelile amaka gha viili, looli vonivoni valyle vikukala ku Asia valyapulike ilisio lya Mutwa, vooni ava Yahudi nava Yunani.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
U nguluve alyale ivomba imbombo mumavoko agha 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.
kuuti avatamu valyavuvusivue, nu Mhepo umulamafu akavahuma, unsiki ghono valyalolile ikitambala namenda ghano ghakahumile mum'bili gha Paaulo.
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.
Looli pevalyale ava Yahudi vano valyale vipunga uvupepo vikyula kukilila ikisala ikio, vakavombelagha ilitavua lya Yesu vwimila vuvanave vavuo. Valyavavulile vala kuuti valyale niili pepo ililamafu; vakaati, “Nikuvavula muhume mulitavua lya Yesu juno u Paulo ikun'dalikila.”
14 And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Vano valyaghavombile agha valyale vaana budika lubali vwa ntekesi umbaha ughwa kiyahudi, ni Skewa.
15 And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?
Amapepo amalamafu vakavamula, “U Yesu nun'kaguile, naju Paulo ni n'kaguile; looli umwe mwemue va veeni?” Jula umhepo umulamafu akavahadukila
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.
mun'kate mwa munhu ava punga vupepo na akavasinda ingufu na kukuvatova. Pe vakakimbilila kuhuma munyumba jila vakale sila Manda kange vakalemile.
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.
Ilio likakagulika ku vooni, ava Yahudi nava Yunani, vano valyale vikukala kuula ku Efeso. Valyale nuludwesi luvaha fiijo, nilitavua lya Mutwa likongelela kupulikika.
18 And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
Kange, vinga avaviitiki valisile nakulata kange vakasimilisia imbombo imbivi sino vakavombile.
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.
Vinga valyale vivomba uvughanga vakakong'ania ifitabu fivanave, vakanyanya pa vulongolo pa munhu ghweni. Unsiki avene ye vavalile ulutalama lwa fiinu, lilyalelilyale fighavo fijigho fihano ifya ndalama.
20 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
Pa uluo ilisio lya Mutwa likakwilana muvukome fiijo uvwa ngufu.
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.
Isa Paulo kukwilana imbombo inofu ija mwene kula ku Efeso, u Mhepo akamulongosia kuluta ku Yerusalemu kukilila ku Makedonia naku Akaya; akaati, “Yekwene ukuo, jininoghile kujagha i 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 akavomola ku Makedonia avavulanisivua va mwene vaviili, Timotheo nu Erasto, vano valyale vikutanga. Looli umwene jujuo akajighe ku Asia mu nsiki.
23 And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
Unsiki ughuo kukahumile ulunjughanjugha ulukome ukuo ku Efeso vwimila isiila jiila.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
U sonora jumo ilitavua lyamwene Demetrio, juno alyatendile ifihwan ifya ndalama ifya Nguluve Diana, alyaletile ifighusivua ifivaha kuvamang'anyi.
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;
Pe akavakong'ania ava mang'anyi ava mbombo jila na kuuti, “Vagojo mukagwile kuuti mufighusivua ifii tukwingisia indalama nyinga.
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.
Mulola na kupulika kuuti, usue tuliapa pa Efeso, looli pipi ni Asia jooni, u Paulo uju avavulile na kuvashetulania avanhu viinga. Ijova kuuti kweghasili amanumbela Ghana ghavombilue na mavoko.
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.
Na kwekuuti kwelile ulutalaamu kuuti ifighusivua fiitu nafilonduagha kange, looli nii nyumba ija Nguluve ijakufunyila umama um'baha u Diana lunoghile kusyojola kuuti asita luvumbulilo. Kange anoghile asovile uvuvaha vwa mwene, juno i Asia ni iisi jikufunya kwa mwene.”
28 And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
Ye vapulike agha, vakamemile ni ng'alasi kange vakajeghela, vakaati, “U Diana ughwa Efeso ghwe m'baha.”
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.
Ilikaja lioni likamemile ulunjughanjugha, navanhu vakakimbila mun'kate muvukumbi uvwa luneno. Vakavakolile vano vikyula avanine nhu Paulo, u Gayo nu Aristariko, vano vakahumile ku Makedonia.
30 And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him.
U Paulo alyalondile kukwingila mukipugha kya vanhu, looli avavulanisivua vakan'sigha.
31 And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre.
Kange, avagoyo vamo ava kisina ava ku Asia vano valyale vamanyani va mwene vakantwalila imola inofu kungufu kukunsuma alike pikwingila muvukumbi uvwaluneno.
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.
Avanhu vamo valyale viiti ikiinu iiki na vange ilisio lila, ulyakuva ikipugha kya vanhu kilyahasiling'ine. Vinga vavanave navakakagwile nambe kuuti nakiki valisile palikimo.
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.
Ava Yahudi vakantwala u Iskanda kunji kukipugha kya vanhu na pikum'bika pavulongolo pa vanhu. U iskanda akahumia ikidegho muluvok lwa mwene kuhumia uvwolesi ku vanhu.
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!
Looli yeva kagwiile kuuti umene mu Yahudi, vooni vakajeghela ku lisio limo munsiki ghwa lmasala ghavili, “U Diana ghwe m'baha ughwa va 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?
Pa uluo umulembi ughwa likaja akanyamasia ikipugha, akaati, 'Umwe mwe vaghosi ava Efeso ghweveni Juno nakagwiile kuuti ilikaja lya Efeso juno ikolelela inyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila ija Diana umbaha nikila ikihwani kino kikaghwile kuhuma kukyanya?
36 Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
Kulola kuuti amasio agha naghangakagulike, tulondua kuuti tuve Kimmie kange namungavombaghe kyooni ikya ng'aning'ani.
37 For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Ulwakuva ulwakuva muvakemelile avanhu ava pa ndinde vano navaliasi ava nyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila nambe navikum'beda u Nguluve ghwiitu un'dala.
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.
Ku uluo, ndavule u Demetrio na mang'anyi vano valipalikimo nu mwene valinamavoko vwimila vwa munhu ghweni, indinde si dindulivue navasikari pevale. Pe valetue pavulongolo pa highi.
39 But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.
Looli ndavule uve ungalonde kyekyoni kila ghusimilisa amasio aghange, ghivombua mukikalo ikya kyang'haani.
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.
Sa kyang'ani tuluvivi ulwakuhighua vwimila ulunjughanjugha vwimila ulwa kighono iki. Kusiila lumonga ulwakunangika isi, kange nakwande tuva ningufu isa kwolelela.
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Ye ajovile agha, akapalasinie ifipugha.
