Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples:
Apollos-na Corinth-ta leiringeida, Paul-na manung changsinna leiba lambida laklaga Ephesus-ta thunglammi. Mapham aduda tung-inba khara thengnarammi
2 and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Ghost when ye believed? And they [said] unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Ghost was [given].
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 And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come 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 had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake 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 they were in all about twelve men.
Mapham aduda makhoi punna mi taranithoirom leirammi.
8 And he entered into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, reasoning and persuading [as to] the things 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 disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning 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 the space of two years; so that all they which 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 insomuch that unto the sick were carried away from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, 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 But certain also of the strolling Jews, exorcists, took upon them to name over them which had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by 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 one Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, which did this.
Athoiba Purohit Sceva-gi machanupa taretna masi toubani.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said unto them, Jesus I know, and Paul I 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 mastered both of them, 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, that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell upon 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 Many also of them that had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.
Thajakhraba mioi kayana thoraktuna makhoina toukhiba phattabasing adu phongna haidoklammi.
19 And not a few of them that practised curious arts brought their books together, and burned them in the sight of all: 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 mightily grew the word of the Lord and prevailed.
Matou asumna Mapu Ibungogi wahei adu pak sanna sandoklammi amadi panggal hen-gatlammi.
21 Now after these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, 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 them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
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 stir concerning the Way.
Matam aduwaida Mapu Ibungogi Lambi adugi maramda Ephesus-ta achouba irang ama thoklammi.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto 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 whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this business 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 not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no 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 not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
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 when they heard this, they were filled with wrath, and cried 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 the 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 was minded to enter in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
Miyam adugi mangda Paul-na thokpa pamlammi adubu thajabasingna mahakpu thinglammi.
31 And certain also of the chief officers of Asia, being his friends, sent unto him, and besought him not to adventure himself into the theatre.
Paul-ga tinnaba, mapham adugi angambasing aduna mahakpu kummei yengpham sang aduda thoraktanaba haijaba warol ama mangonda tharaklammi.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was in confusion; and the more part knew not wherefore they were 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 Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made a defence unto 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 perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of 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 And when the townclerk had quieted the multitude, he saith, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there who knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper 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 Seeing then that these things cannot be gainsaid, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.
Hairibasing asi kana amatana yadaba ngamde. Maram aduna nakhoina ingthapham thok-i aduga khanthadana karisu touroidabani.
37 For ye have brought [hither] these men, which are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
Makhoina laisangdagi karisu huranba natte aduga eikhoigi lairembida thina ngangkhibasu leite adubu nakhoina makhoibu mapham asida purakle.
38 If therefore Demetrius, and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
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 seek anything about other matters, it shall be settled in the regular assembly.
Aduga nakhoina makha tana karigumba ama pukhatpa pamlabasu wayelgi oiba miyam tinnaba aduna lepkadabani.
40 For indeed we are in danger to be accused concerning this day’s riot, there being no cause [for it]: and as touching it we shall not be able to give 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.
