Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul, passing through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples;
Chuin Apollos Corinth a aum jing lai chun Paul jong chuche gamkai sunga chun avah len Ephesus ahung lhun chun seijui tampi amun amaho koma chun,
2 and he said unto them—Holy Spirit, received ye, when ye believed? And they said unto him—Nay! not even whether there is Holy Spirit, did we hear.
“Natahsan uva chu Lhagao Theng nachan nah uvem?” tin adong in ahile, amahon “Kachang pouve, Lhagao Theng aume akiti lam jong kajakha pouve,” atiuvin ahi.
3 And he said—Into what, then, were ye immersed? And, they, said—Unto John’s immersion.
Chuin aman adong kit in “Ahileh ipia baptize chang nahiuvem?” ati. Amahon jong “John baptize chanin,” atiuve.
4 Then said Paul—John, immersed with an immersion of repentance, unto the people, saying, that, on him who was coming after him, they should believe, —that is, on Jesus.
Chuin Paul in, “John baptize chan chu chonset na a kon lunghei na ding bou ahi, ahin John jeng in jong miho jah a chun ama jouva hung ding pachu tahsanun,” ati, hichu Yeshua aseina ahi.
5 And, when they heard [this], they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus;
Chuche thu ajah jah un abonchauvin Pakai Yeshua minin baptize achang tauvin ahi.
6 and, Paul laying hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.
Chuin Paul in achung'uva khut angamin ahile, Lhagao Theng achung'uva ahung chutan, chule abonchauvin paochom athouvin gaothu asei tauvin ahi.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Amaho chu abonun mi somleni ahiuve.
8 And, entering into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
Chuin Paul chu kikhopna in'ah alut in hapta thum sungin hangsan tah in thu aseiyin, thununsah teina ding in Pathen lenggam thu ahilin ahi.
9 But, when some were hardening themselves, and refusing to be persuaded, speaking evil of the Way before the throng, withdrawing from them, he separated the disciples; day by day, reasoning in the school of Tyrannus.
Ahin mi konkhat chu alouchal uvin thu kisei chu sanglouvin, lhang phongtah in asei seuvin ahi. Hijeh chun Paul in kikhopna in chu adalhan seijui ho chu akipui doh'in Tyrannus muna thuseina in khat'ah niseh in akihoulim pitan ahi.
10 And, this, took place for two years, so that, all who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Hiti chun kumni jen abol'un ahile Asia gamsung pumpia Judah te le Greek mi abonchauvin Pakai thu chu ajatauvin ahi.
11 Mighty works, also, not the ordinary, God was working through the hands of Paul;
Chuin Pathen in Paul chu bolmo kidang bolthei na tha ape tan ahi.
12 so that, even unto the sick, were being carried from his body, handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases were departing from them, and, the wicked spirits, were going out.
Chuti chun ultheh pon hihen lang achunga kai pon poupou hijong le achoiyun adamlouho chunga akoiyun ahile adamlou nau chu adamin asunga lhagao phalou ho jong ajamdoh jin ahi.
13 But certain also of the wandering Jews, exorcists, took in hand to be naming, over them that had the wicked spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying—I adjure you, by Jesus whom Paul proclaimeth!
Chuin Judah miho phabep khopi khat'a konin khopi khat ah avah leuvin, lhagao boh ho anodoh un, amaho chun Pakai Yeshua min pat ding agouvin, “Paul in alhangsap Yeshua mina thu kapeh nahi, hungpot in!” tin asei jiuvin ahi.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a High-priest, who, this thing, were doing.
Hitia thil bol chu thempu lenloi, Sceva chate pasal sagi ho ahiuve.
15 But the wicked spirit. Answering, said unto them—Jesus, [indeed], I am getting to know, and, Paul, I well-know, —but who are, ye?
Ahin chutia nikhat abolgot kit laitah un lhagao boh chun, “Yeshua le Paul chu kahenai, nang koi nahiuvem?” atin ahi.
16 And the man in whom was the wicked spirit, springing upon them, mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that, naked and wounded, fled they out of that house.
Chuin lhagao boh voppa chu amaho chunga achomlut in amaho chu athajo in asugim tauvin ahile amaho chu sagohkeo le maha pun ajamdoh tauvin ahi.
17 And, this, became known to all—both Jews and Greeks—who were dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.
Hiche thilsoh chu Ephesus khopi sunga Judate le Greek mite hengah gangtah in akithe jal tan ahile, khopi sungah kichat tijatna adim tan, Pakai Yeshua min chu nasatah in ajabol tauvin ahi.
18 Many also of them who had believed, were coming, making open confession, and renouncing their practices.
Chuin seijui tamtah ho chun achonset thilbol'u aphong tauvin ahi.
19 And, a good many of them who had practised the curious arts, bringing together the books, were burning them before all; and they reckoned up the prices of them, and found them fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Chuin doichoi ho mitam tah'in jong a lekhabu-u ahin choi khom uvin, mipi ang sung laitah a agouvam tauvin ahi. Hiche alekhabu-u chu dangka tamtah man ahi.
20 Thus, with might, the Lord’s word, was growing and prevailing.
Hiche Pakai natoh thudol chu muntina akithe jaltan thahat tah'in na atong tan ahi.
21 Now, when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit, going through Macedonia and Achaia, to be journeying unto Jerusalem, saying—After I have been there, Rome also, must I see!
Chuin phat chomkhat jouvin lhagao vin asoljeh chun Paul chu Jerusalem ache masang in Mecedonia le Achaia gam'a ding in achen, “Chujou tengle Rome a kache ding ahi,” tin aseiyin ahi.
22 And, sending off into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself, held on awhile in Asia.
Chuin ama Asia gam'a phat chomkhat aum nalaiyin, Timothy le Erastus chu akithopi ding in Mecedonia a amasol in ahi.
23 And there arose during that season no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Chuche phatlai chun Ephesus ah hiche kithuhilna lampi chung changa boina khohtah khat ahung umdohtan ahi.
24 For, one Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making [silver] shrines, of Diana, used to bring unto the craftsmen no little business;
Ajeh chu Demetrius kiti mikhat aumin, ama chu dangka a sumkolvei mi ahin, aman khutthem ho chu dangka in Greek te pathen Artemis lim akhen sah in hoitah in akoiyin ahi.
25 gathering whom together, and them who in such things wrought, he said—Men! ye well know that, by this business, we have our prosperity;
Chuin aman anatoh kibah piho chu akou khomin ajah uva: “Mipi ho hiche sumkolvei na hi ihaodoh nau ahi,” ati.
26 and ye perceive and hear that, not only in Ephesus, but well-nigh in all Asia, this Paul, hath persuaded and turned away a considerable multitude, saying that they are, no gods, which, with hands, are made.
“Ahin najah uva namu bang un, hiche Paul hin miho jouse koma khut a kisem limho hi pathen tahbeh ahipoi tin aseiyin mijouse alhemlha tai, chule hiche thuhi Ephesus khopi bouseh a asei ahipon Asia gamsung pumpia asei le ahi!
27 And, not only is there danger that this our heritage into ill-repute may come, but even that the temple, of the great Goddess Diana, for nothing, may be counted; also that, even on the point of being pulled down, may be Her Majesty, whom, all Asia and the habitable world, do worship.
Ahinai! Isumkolvei nau mijousen nahsah moa akoi ding thubou kasei ahipoi, ahin Artemis pathen houna in thupina jouse aman a, chule Asia gamsung pumpi le vannoi pumpia hiche pathen houna aman thah ding jong hi kagelkhoh tah khat ahi!” ati.
28 Now, hearing this, and becoming full of wrath, they began crying aloud, saying—Great, is Diana of the Ephesians!
Hichun akikhom miho chu alung hangjah jeng uvin, “Ephesus mite pathen Artemis alen'e,” tin hasap in asam tauvin ahi.
29 And the city was filled with the confusion; they rushed also with one accord into the theatre, carrying off with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.
Hichun khopi sunga miho chu alung boilah lah jeng uvin, mipi chun Paul hin kilhonpi Macedonia gam'a kon Gaius le Aristarchus chu amanun golseh vetna muna chun akailut tauvin ahi.
30 But, Paul, being minded to enter in among the populace, the disciples would not suffer him.
Chuin Paul jong chu lut ding agon, ahin seijui hon analut sah pouvin ahi.
31 Moreover, certain of the Asiarchs also, being his friends, sending unto him, were beseeching him not to adventure himself into the theatre.
Chuin Asia gamsung a Paul loi le gol milen milal phabep in Paul henga thu ahin thot un, golseh vetna muna lut loubeh ding in ahung taovun ahi.
32 Others, indeed, were crying out something else; for the assembly had become confused, and, the greater part, knew not for what cause they had come together.
Golseh vetna mun sunga chun mipi chu apeng lah lah un mi abangin thilkhat asamun, abangin thildang khat asamun, hiti chun aeu lah lah jenguvin, abangloi chun ipi jeh a kikhom ahiu jong ahepouvin ahi.
33 Howbeit, out of the multitude, they bare aloft one Alexander, the Jews thrusting him forward; Alexander, however, waving his hand, was wishing to make his defense unto the populace.
Chuin mipi lah a um Juda miho chun Alexander chu mipi masanga ahin sondoh un thilsoh thudol ahil chet dingin asolun ahi. Chuin aman mipi ho chu aphoh thip in houlim ding agon ahi.
34 But, recognizing that he was a Jew, one voice arose from all for about two hours, as they cried aloud—Great, is Diana of the Ephesians!
Ahinlah mipi ho chun amapa chu Juda mi ahi ahetdoh phat un, hatah in asamkit un, “Ephesus Artemis alen e, Ephesus Artemis alen e!” tin nidan ni lang asamun ahi.
35 Howbeit the town-clerk, having calmed the multitude, saith—Ephesians! why, who is there of mankind that doth not acknowledge the city of Ephesians to be temple-keeper of the Great Diana, and of the [image] that fell from Jupiter?
Ajo jo nan khopi vaipopa chun mipi ho chu aphoh thip in aman, “Vo Ephesus mite, Ephesus khopi hi vana kona hung khelha Artemis len lim houin ngah ahi hi mijousen ahet ahi,” ati.
36 As these things, then, cannot be denied, it is needful that ye be calmed at once, and, nothing rash, be doing.
“Hiche thutah hi koiman aseilep theilou ahijeh'in nangho thipkhen chan um unlang imacha kinothethun bol dauvin.
37 For ye have brought these men, neither as temple-robbers, nor as defaming our goddess.
Hiche napuilut-u mite hin houin'a konin imacha agudoh pouvin, eiho pathen dounan jong ima asei pouve.
38 If then, Demetrius, and the craftsmen with him, have against anyone an accusation, courts, are being held, and there are, proconsuls: let them accuse one another!
Amavang Demetrius le anatoh kibahpi khutthem hon amaho hehset nading thu aneiyuva ahile thutanna in honsan aum jinge, chule gamvaipoho henga jong athu agasei theiyu ahi. Amaho koma khun ga kihehsah tauvin.
39 But, if after, something further, ye are seeking, in the regular assembly shall it be settled.
Chule ahehnau thudang aumle vang angaiya kikhopna in'a athu tanding ahi.
40 For we are, even in danger of being accused of riot, concerning this day, no cause at all, existing, by reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.
Ajeh beiya boina soh ahijeh'in ajole Rome vaipoten ichunguva thu ahin tan khah diu ham tin kichat nan kadime. Ajeh chu Rome vaipoten tuni thilsoh thudol hilchen dingin eihin dongule ima isei thei lou diu ahi,” ati.
41 And, these things, having said, he dismissed the assembly.
Hiti chun mipi ho chu anodoh tan ahile amaho akikhen tauvin ahi.
