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;
Apollos Korin ni angta doh, Pool Ephesas hah noongrep ni tumkhoomta. Erah ni heliphante wasiit wanyi chomui ano
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.
cheng rumta, “Kristaan eh hoontan adoh Esa Chiiala chotam etan?” Eno neng ih ngaakbaat rumta, “Esa Chiiala eje ngeh ih taan boseh tajatke.”
3 And he said—Into what, then, were ye immersed? And, they, said—Unto John’s immersion.
“Ese no bah ah, tiimjaat juutem tan?” Pool ih weecheng rumta. “Neng ih ngaak baatta” Joon juutem temti.
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.
Pool ih baat rumta, “Joon juutem ah langla o mina rangdah sekthunta erah mina ah raangtaan eh, eno Joon ih Ijirel mina loong asuh baatta nga lih ni kaatte tiit ah hanpi an—erah langla, Jisu.”
5 And, when they heard [this], they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus;
Erah chaat rum ano Teesu Jisu mendi juutem rumta.
6 and, Paul laying hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.
Pool ih heh lak ih taajoot rum kano neng sak ni Esa Chiiala ah ra ih taha; eno erah miloong ah jengkhaap ena ena dongjeng rum ano Rangte tiitwaan ah baat ih rumta.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Neng loong ah rooproop eh asih wanyi taan miwah ang rumta.
8 And, entering into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
Laajom mongdi Pool Jehudi rangsoomnok ni kah ano miloong ah damdi lacho laphaan ih roongwaan kata, eno Rangmong tiit ah baat rum ano nuune rumta.
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.
Mararah tenthun ah jong ajaan likhiik ang ano tahanpi rumta, eno nokwah dungni Teesu tiit ah ethih ethih ih jeng rumta. Eno Pool ih hanpiite loong ah siit ano doksoon kata, erah ni saarookwet ih Tirannas tiitwaan roongwaan nok adi roongwaan rumta.
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.
Emamah paangnyi tongtha rumta, erah thoidi Esia hah ni tongte, Jehudi nyia Ranglajatte loong ah ih Teesu tiitkhaap ah japchaat rumta.
11 Mighty works, also, not the ordinary, God was working through the hands of Paul;
Rangte ih Pool suh mabah uh lataat jat rumka paatjaajih loong ah reeraang thukta.
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.
Theehut theng nyusah ah khoisatte reeni maatkaat koleh nyia huikaat koleh, maasat uh ede eta eno chiithih laakhah uh doksoon eta.
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!
Mararah Jehudi loong ah ih chiithih laakhah dokphan suh tum khoomte loong ah ih uh erah likhiik Jisu mendi taatthaak dokphan ih rumta. Erah loong ah ih chiithih laakhah asuh liita, “Pool ih baatta Jisu tiit ah mendi phan hala.”
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a High-priest, who, this thing, were doing.
Jehudi nok hah Romwah phokhothoon Sewa sah loong, wasinet ah ih emah taatthaak dokphan rumta.
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?
Enoothong chiithih laakhah ah ih neng suh liita, “Ngah ih Jisu jat ih ang, Pool uh jat ih ang; enoothong sen—o ah?”
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.
Chiithih laakhah pan warah doonpit ano neng loong ah nobuh rumta. Erah nok dowa, sokkhook maalook nyia nengnyuh nengkhat chiinhoom choi tiisoon rumta.
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.
Ephisus ni tongte Jehudi nyia Ranglajatte loong ah ih erah japchaat rum ano; rapne ih cho rumta eno Jisu men ah rapne ih raksiit rumta.
18 Many also of them who had believed, were coming, making open confession, and renouncing their practices.
Hanpiite loong ah ih nokwah dungni neng rangdah maangdi mokre rumta loong ah dokbaat ih rumta.
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.
Maantaan loong ah ih neng leedap ah piikaat rum ano nokwah dungni mattak rumta. Leedap thaang ah thaak weh rum ano, rooproop ih haajaat rookbangnga ngunkholok angta.
20 Thus, with might, the Lord’s word, was growing and prevailing.
Erah likhiik Teesu tiitkhaap ah ehanhan ih ruurangta.
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!
Erah lih adi, Mesidonia nyia Akaia ni tumkhoom ano Jerusalem ni wang suh Pool ih samthunta. Pool ih liita, “Erah hah nah wang lidoh,” “Room hah nah ngah wang jaatjaat etheng.”
22 And, sending off into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself, held on awhile in Asia.
Erah thoidi heh damdi roong mootkaatte Timothi nyia Erastas ah, Mesidonia ni wangthuk nyuuta, eno Esia hah ni Pool ah rekam tongthiinta.
23 And there arose during that season no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Erah tokdi Ephesas ni Jisu lamphan thoidi rookmui jengmui rapne ih angta.
24 For, one Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making [silver] shrines, of Diana, used to bring unto the craftsmen no little business;
Tongmih mi hoonte, Demetrias ngeh ih angta ah ih Artemis Rangte nok laaphaang ah hoon ano, heh damdi reeraang paknaate loong asuh ngun rapne ih bi thuk rumta.
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;
Erah thoidi heh pheehoon mootkaat likhiik o ih hoonta erah miloong ah khoonpoon ano baat rumta. “Jaaroh loong, sen ih jat ehan seng chang ah arah dowa ih tanih tengli.
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.
Eno sen ih taatsok thaak an nyia sen na ih taat chaat thaak an Pool ih tiimjih hoon wan hala. Pool ih baat rumha lak ih hoonha ah mabah uh rangte tah angka, eno Ephesas nyia Esia hah re dowa miloong ah rapne ih roonphak rumha.
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.
Seng pheehoon mootkaat ah rakmu riike nyia cho etheng ih hoonla. Erah luulu lah angthang eh, Artemis men arang ju maat ih baat ah, erah thoidi cho etheng ih hoonla—heh rang ah Esia nyia hakong rookwet ni tanih soomha!”
28 Now, hearing this, and becoming full of wrath, they began crying aloud, saying—Great, is Diana of the Ephesians!
Erah jengkhaap ah chaat rum ano mih lomkhoon rumta loong ah rapne ih khah rum ano riiraak rumta, “Ephesas dowa Artemis ah rakla!”
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.
Erah chikrok tiit ah samnuthung noongrep ni ruurangta. Mesidoniate wanyi Gaius nyia Aristarkos, Pool damdi roong tum khoomte anyi, miloong ah ih seehoon boongkaat nok adi hoom kaat rumta.
30 But, Paul, being minded to enter in among the populace, the disciples would not suffer him.
Pool heh teeteewah midung ni kaat suh taat liita, eno hanpiite loong ah ih takaat thuk rumta.
31 Moreover, certain of the Asiarchs also, being his friends, sending unto him, were beseeching him not to adventure himself into the theatre.
Erah hah dowa, marah marah ngoong awang Pool joonte loong ah ih uh, seehoon boongkaat nok adoh nak toom tupkhoom kawe ah ngeh ih jengkhaap maatbaat rumta.
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.
Erah pootdi ngoongthumte loong ah rapne ih phaangdat rumta; miloong ah jihoh jihoh riiraak rumta, mamah liidi neng dung ni mih ehanko ah ih tiim thoidi lomkhoon wang rumta erah tajat rumta.
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.
Jehudi mihak phokhoh loong ah ih Alekjendar ah tiim jeng theng ang abah uh an jeng theng li rum ano ngakhoh ko tut haatkaat rumta. Eno Alejander ih nak hoopti an ngeh ih heh lak ah tangjap ano neng teewah pangjeng jeng suh taat chungta.
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!
Eno neng ih Jehudi ngeh ih jatrum ano phoosiitsiit tiit ah koonta nyi riiraak rumta: Ephesas dowa Artemis ah rakla!”
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?
Lithoon ni samnuh dowa apit ni mootte warah ih miloong ah kok manghoop rumta. “Ephisas phoh ano loong!” “Warep ih jat eha Ephesas samnuthung ah Artimis rangsoomnok nyia esa jong thiinte, eno erah jong ah rang nawa dat taha ngeh ah.
36 As these things, then, cannot be denied, it is needful that ye be calmed at once, and, nothing rash, be doing.
O ih uh tajen daanka. Erah raangtaan eh, sen lahoopti theng, lalangka ah lareeraang theng.
37 For ye have brought these men, neither as temple-robbers, nor as defaming our goddess.
Arah mih anyi ih seng rangsoomnok uh tathet haatka adoleh rangte tiit uh labaat nyuuka di siitkaat halan.
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!
Demetrius nyia heh mootkaatte loong ah ih o tiit hoontheng ang abah uh, sen tiit hoonkotte elong elang eje adoleh tiit hoon theng nok uh saarookwet raangtaan ih eje; tiit ah erah doh hoon theng.
39 But, if after, something further, ye are seeking, in the regular assembly shall it be settled.
Adoleh, tiit ajeng ah erah nang ih elong ih hoon theng li an baleh, nok atang loongtang ngathong nah tiit ah hoon theng.
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.
Chiinnyah tiit ajeng arah dongla lidoh, cho etheng eje mat ah o ih chaang theng ah. Arah mat dong hoomte ah biin anaan tahoonru; seng ih uh tiim thoilam di ang koja erah tami baatke.”
41 And, these things, having said, he dismissed the assembly.
Erah jengkhaap jeng lidi, ngoongthumte loong ah saapsoon ih thuk rumta.
