Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul [left the places in Phrygia and Galatia] provinces where he had been visiting, and traveled through [Asia province] back to Ephesus. He met some people [who said that they] were believers.
Na Apolos wadi korint, Bulus cino Firiziya nin Galantiya anin kata udu u Asia, amini wa kwilin udu Efisus. Anin zuro nin namong i woroghe inin ma anan yinusauyenuri.
2 He asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed [God’s message]?” They answered, “No, we [(exc) did not]. We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
Atirino nani, “Inaseru Ufunu Ulau kubi kona ina yinin nin liru Kutellẹ? Inanin wa kwanghe iworo natina seru ba. Na tina lanza Ufunu Ulau ba”
3 So Paul asked, “So when you were baptized, what [were you showing]?” They replied, “[We were showing] that we [(exc)] believed what John [the Baptizer] taught.”
Bulus tirino, “Na iwa shintin minu ushitunu ulauwe, iyaghari iwa yinin?” Inanin wa belinghe,”Tina yinin nin ilemon na Yohana unan su baptiszima na dursuzo”
4 Paul said, “John baptized people who turned away from their sinful behavior. He [also] told the people to believe in the one who would come after he [had come], and that was Jesus.”
Bulus woro(belle), “Yohana na sulsun(baptizpsima) anit alena ina chinu matiza ma nanzan. Amini wa belin anite i yinin nin lena ama dak amini na malin da ninkidun uleli unite amare wa di Yesu.”
5 So, when those men heard that, they were baptized [to affirm that they believed] [MTY] in the Lord Jesus.
Na anit ane lanza, inani wa su nanin ushitunu nmyen nanya lissan Cikilari Yesu.
6 After that, Paul placed his hands on their heads [one by one], and the [power of the] Holy Spirit came upon [each of] them. The [Holy Spirit] enabled them to speak in various languages [MTY] [that they had not learned], and they also spoke messages [that the Holy Spirit] revealed to them.
Na isunani, Bulus tarda acarame kitene nati mine, likara Nruhu Ulau tolo nati mine. Uruhu Ulau nanani likara liru nin ton tilem to na inayiruba, inani tutung wa bellu kadura kanga na Uruhu Ulauwe wa belle nanin.
7 There were about twelve men [whom Paul baptized and who received the power of the Holy Spirit].
Iwadi anit likure nin nan waba na Bulus wa shintin nani nmyen (Ubaptisima) isere Uruhu Ulau.
8 For three months after that, Paul entered the Jewish meeting place [in Ephesus on each] Sabbath/Jewish day of rest, and he spoke boldly. He convincingly taught [the people] about how God wanted to rule [MET] [their lives].
Tipui titat wa kata, Bulus pira kitin zursu na Yahudawa nanya Afisus ko ayame Asabbat a dursuzo nani nin risu nani kitenen Yesu nin yizari Kutellẹ ma dursu litime amere Ugo.
9 [A few of the people in the meeting house believed the message about Jesus]. But some of the people would not believe that message and did not want to [continue to] hear it. While many people were listening, they said many bad things about the way [for people to receive eternal life about which Paul was preaching]. So Paul left them and took the believers with him [to meet in another place]. He taught every day in a lecture hall [that a man whose name was] Tyrannus [lectured in/owned].
Na among a Yahudawa wa yinin nin kadure ba, na iwa di ninsu ilanza tutung ba. Inani wa yitan gwondulu nbellu nimong inanzan kitene nimon ile na Bulus wadi dursuzu nani. Bara nanin Bulus cino nanin ayira anan bi ninghe idi zuro kitin zursun Tiranus.
10 For two years Paul continued to teach people in that building. In this way, most of [HYP] the Jews and non-Jews who lived in Asia [province] heard the message about the Lord [Jesus].
Bulus tah akus aba ndursuzu nanite kikane. Nanya nani, ngbardang na Yahudawa ni nalege na iwadi a Yahudawaba, arika na iwa sosin nanya kusarin Asiya inin lanza kadura kitenen Cikilari Yesu.
11 Also, God gave Paul the power [MTY] to do amazing miracles.
Kutellẹ tutung wa ni Bulus ku likara su nimong izikiki.
12 [If those who were sick could not come to Paul, handkerchiefs or aprons that Paul had touched would be taken and] placed on the sick people {[others] would take [and place on] the sick people handkerchiefs or aprons that Paul had touched}. As a result, those sick people would become well, and evil spirits that troubled people would leave.
Alena iwa dinin tikonu na ise udak kitin Bulus ba, vat kupori ko na Bulus ndudo, asa iyira idi tarda kitenen nan konu, iba shinu uruhu unanzanghe sun nani.
13 There were also some Jews who traveled around [to] various places, [and] they commanded the evil spirits in those places to depart [from people. Certain ones of those Jews once] tried to command the evil spirits to come out of people by saying “I command you by the authority [MTY] of the Lord Jesus, the man about whom Paul preaches, to come out!”
Kikane tutung among a Yahudawa wadi diku na iwacinu nigbiri nigbiri, inanin wa ko tiruhu tinanzanghe nanya nani nite. Among a Yahudawa wa belu tiruhu tinanzanghe nuzun nanya nanite inin din bellu, “Indin bellu minu nuzun nanya likaran Cikilari Yesu, ulena Bulus na dursuzo nari kiteneme!”
14 There were seven men who were doing that. They were sons of a man named Sceva, a Jew, [who called himself] a chief priest.
Iwadi anit kuzora katwa kane. Asaun nmong unitari lissame wadi Sikava, ku Yahudawa, ulena awadin yiccu litime udya na prist.
15 But [one day as they were doing that], the evil spirit [refused to come out of that person. Instead, he] said to them, “I know Jesus, and I know [that he has authorized] Paul [to expel demons]. (But no one has authorized you [to do anything to me!]/who authorized you [to do anything to me]?) [RHQ]”
Nlonliri ileo ubun kata kane, uruhu unanzanghe nari unuzu kitin nute. Uruhu unanzan woro nanin,”In yiru Yesu ku, nyiro Bulus ku, tutun na umong nani likara ida ti imong imong ba!”
16 [After saying that, suddenly] the man who was controlled by the evil spirit jumped on the seven Jewish men, [one after another], knocked all of them down, and beat each of them severely. He tore off their clothes and wounded them, causing them to bleed. So, [greatly frightened, they all] ran out of the house.
Nin belu nanin, kwak unit ulena awa dinin uruhu unazanghe tinna ayina adeu kitenen na saun Sikeve. Amini wa fọ nanin kap a lanza nanin ukule. Anin wa jarza nani imon. Ilanza fiu itina inuzu kilare icoo.
17 All the people who lived in Ephesus, both Jews and non-Jews, heard what had happened. So they were afraid [MTY]. They honored the Lord Jesus [MTY] [because they realized that he was very powerful].
Kap nanit alena iwa sosin nan nya Ephisus, vat a Yahudawa nin nalena a Yahudawa iwa lanza ulemone. Imini wa tinna ilaza fiu bar unit ulena ufunu unanzan wa di nan nya me awa dinin likara kan. nin kubi kurume, iwa zazin lisa Ugo Isa.
18 [At that time], while other believers were listening, many believers confessed the evil things that they had been doing.
Nan nya kubi kone, among anan yinnusauyenu iwa latisze, anan yinusauyenu gbardan benle ilemong inanzan na idin suzu.
19 Several of those who had [previously] practiced sorcery gathered up their scrolls [that told how to work] magic and burned them in a public place. When people added up how much those scrolls had cost, they realized that altogether the amount was 50,000 valuable silver coins.
Among anite na iwa di anidibere tina inutuzuno umon kata mine itinna i juju kika na koghe mayen. Dana anit munu ikurfun ilena imong zuzu nikulume ikurfun duru amui akuta atau.
20 As a result, many more people heard [MTY] the message about the Lord [Jesus], and the message powerfully [changed their lives].
Nan nya nanin, anit gbardan lanza tipipin kitenen Ugo Isa inanin wa yininsauyenu.
21 After those things had happened, Paul decided that he wanted to go to Jerusalem, but he decided that [first] he would visit [the believers in] Macedonia and Achaia [provinces again]. Paul said, “After I have been to Jerusalem, I must also go to Rome.”
Unuzu kidun Bulus mala katame nan nya ifisus, Ufunu Ulau yira ghe ayinin udu Urshalima, tutun nin funu a pira kusarin Macidonia nin Achaia anan yene anan yinusauyenu. Bulus woro, “Nin kidun andin duo Urshalima, ma kuru iduo Uroma tutun”
22 He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, ahead to Macedonia. But Paul stayed a little longer [in Ephesus city], in Asia [province].
Amini watu iyichila awa bã anan bungh, Timontawus nin Erastus, udu Macidonia. Tutun Bulus ninsọ nan nya ka gbir, Efisus kusarin Asia.
23 [Soon after that], some of the people there tried to make a lot of [LIT] trouble for the people who believed the way [God revealed for us(inc) to receive eternal life].
Nin deadai kidun nanin, anit nan nya Efisus chizina ubunkurnu kiti kan bar Isa nin madursuzu kitene me.
24 There was a man there whose name was Demetrius who made little images out of silver. [They were models] of the temple of [a goddess whose name was] Artemis. Demetrius and the other men [who made those little images] earned a lot of [LIT] money [from selling those images].
Kikane umong unit wa diku nin lisa Damarius. Awake kuguinki nin lisa Diana. Damarius wadin sesu ikurfun kiti nanit ka nin kani kata makeke ku guinki asa nin lewe manin.
25 Demetrius called a meeting of his workmen and also of others who made the little silver images. He said to them, “Men, you know that we [(inc)] earn a lot of money doing our kind of work.
Darius nin yichila adonkata makeke na guinke. Anin woro nanin,”Anit, iyiru kata kanere tidin sesu ikurfun bit ka.
26 Also, you know that [this fellow] Paul has persuaded many people who live in Ephesus [to no longer buy the images that we make. Now even the people from] many other towns in our province [no longer want to buy what we make]. This fellow tells people that the gods that we have made [and worship] are not gods [and that we should not worship them].
Iyiru Bulus ulena asosin nan nya Efisu ana dursuzo anit gbarde na iwa seru ma guinkibit ba mana tinake. Nene ma anit gbardan unuzu kusari ni gbiri nan nya kusari bit na idu sesu nimong ilena tike ba. Bulus na bellin anite atellẹ alena ti din zazunu ah atellẹ riba nin nanin na tiwa zazu anin ba.
27 [If people continue to listen to him], soon they will ruin our business. Besides, they will no longer think that they should [come to] the temple of Artemis [to worship her. People] all over our Asia [province] and everywhere [HYP] else worship [our great] goddess [Artemis. Soon people] may no longer consider that Artemis is great!”
Andi anit lazaghe imati anit malesu lesu bite yisin. Anite mayenu na idinini su idak kiti bite ba tutun nin dak kuti Diana inan su uzazunume. Anite mayenu Diana di udiah ba. Tutun vat anit kusarin Asia nin uyeh kap ma chinu uzazughe.
28 All the men there were very angry [at Paul] when they heard what Demetrius said. They began to shout, “The goddess Artemis of us Ephesians is very great!”
Vat anite kikane tinna ilaza ayi nin Bulus dana ilaza ilemong na Damarius belle. Inani wa tinin jarttiz, “Diana kutellẹ bite Efisu di gbardan”
29 Many of the other people in the city heard the shouting and went [and joined the crowd. They also became angry at Paul] and began shouting. [Several of] the people seized Gaius and Aristarchus, two men [from Macedonia] who had been traveling with Paul. [Then the whole crowd of people ran, dragging those men along with them], to the city stadium.
Anite kan nan nya kagbiri ilaza ayi nin Bulus ini tinna jarttizu. Among anit kifọ Gaius nin aAristachus, inin na bąh jnuzu Macidonia iwa di ana chin nin Bulus. Ninnanin anite kap tinna chium, nin wunu nani udu kikana anan ka gbiri asa isu avuku(theater)
30 Paul also wanted to go [to the stadium and speak to] the people, but the other believers would not let him go there.
Bulu wadinin su adue nan nya kiti navuh anan lirina nin nanite, vat nin nanin anan yinusauyenu tinna iwantinghe udu kikane.
31 Also, some government officials of that province who were friends of Paul [heard what was happening]. So they sent someone to tell him [urgently] not to go into the stadium.
Among ago kagbiri na iwa di adondon Bulus ilanza ilemon na idin chi. Inanin wa tu umong kitin Bulus na wa dak nan nya kiti kuti navuaba.
32 The crowd of people [in the stadium] continued shouting. Some shouted one thing, and some shouted something else. But most of them did not even know what the meeting was about!
Lipitin nanite nan nya kuti na vua ilebun jarttizu. Among wadin jarttizu ni momong dabam among tutun jarttizu dabam. Tutun among nan nya mine wa yinin umon elena iwa din jarttizumuba.
33 One of the [Jews there was named Alexander. Some of] the Jews pushed him to the front of the stadium, [so that he could speak to the crowd of people]. So Alexander motioned with his hands to the crowd, [wanting them to be quiet]. He wanted to tell them that [the Jews] were not responsible [for the riot].
Umong kuYahudawa lisa me wadi Alezanda. Among a Yahudawa turughe udu bun nanite inin tahghe alirin. Alezanda tinna ah antina ucharame anan tah nanin ichin ujattuzu. Aaadinin su a bellin nanin a Yahudawari ba nati macharantki(troble)
34 But [many of the non-Jewish people] knew that Alexander was a Jew. [They also knew that the Jews did not worship the goddess Artemis. So the non-Jews there] unitedly [and] repeatedly shouted for about two hours, “Great is [the goddess] Artemis [whom we(inc)] Ephesians [worship]!”
Tutun among alena iwadi a Yahudawariba iyino Alezanda ku Yahudawari inin yinno a Yahudawa din zazunu Diana kutella ba.”
35 Then the city secretary made the crowd stop shouting, and he said to them, “My fellow-citizens, everyone in the world knows [RHQ] that [we(inc) people who live in] Ephesus [city] guard the temple [where we worship] the great [goddess] Artemis. Also, [everyone knows that we(inc) watch over] the [sacred] image [of our goddess] that fell down from heaven!
Nin nanin umong ugo ka gbiria ta lipitnpin nanit chin ujarttizu. Anin belle nanin, “Linananin anan min, koghe yiru nan nya yiulele kutellẹ bite Diana na diu unuzu kitene!
36 Of course everyone knows that, and no one can say that these things are not true. So you should be quiet now. Do not suddenly do anything (foolish/that will cause us trouble).
Koghe yirumu kap, na umong batin aworo ilemonghe kiden ari ba. Bar nanin na kgha ti tik nene. Naiwa su imomong inazan ba.
37 You [should not] have brought these [two] men [here, because they have not done anything evil]. They have not gone into our temples and taken things [from there]. And they have not spoken evil of our goddess.
Na iwa danin awa ba ane kikane ba, bar na isu imomong inazan ba. Na idua nan nya na danga bit inin yira imong unuzu kikane, tutun na ilirina imommo inanzan kitene kutellẹbit.
38 Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow-workmen want to accuse anyone [about anything bad, they should do it in the right way]. There are courts [that you can go to when you want to accuse someone], and there are judges [there who have been appointed by the government] {[whom the government has appointed]}. You can accuse [anyone there].
Bari nanin, andi Damariu nin na nan katame dininsu i ni kogha ku kulapi su imong nanza, na su libau lichine. kika kitin wuchu kidenghe iwawngha idu, kikane anan wuchu kiden duku na ugamnati na fere nanin. Iwangha kifo koghaku idoamu kikane.
39 But if you want to ask about something else, [you should ask] for [other officials to] resolve it when [those] officials legally assemble.
Tutun andi idinin su tirinu imomong, iwangha itirino ago mine inan yene ilemong na imasu kitene andi izuro kitikirum.
40 [And this is certainly not a legal meeting! Resolve this legally] because, if [we(inc) do] not, I am afraid [that the governor] will hear about all this noise [that you have made] and will say that we [(inc)] were trying to rebel [against the government]. If he would ask me what you were all shouting about, I would not be able to give him an answer.”
Uzuru ulene uchauba ba! Yiran ubukurnu kiti kane libau lichine bar arik dinisu ti lanza ayi igomnati ba. Adi ago tiri ni majarttizu man, men waghe ikwana nanin gigime ba.”
41 That is what the city secretary said [to the crowd]. Then he told them all to go [home. So they left].
Nanere ugo ka gbiri wa belin lipitirunu anite. Amini wa belin kogha ku a kwilin kilarime, inanin wa kwilizin nilarimine.
