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.
Ap'los K'orontositse b́teshor P'awlos danbani datson beshat Efeson maants b́bodi, manokno muk' Krstaniyotsi daatsdek't
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.”
«It amanor S'ayn shayiro dek'rteya b́teshi?» ett bíaati. Bowere «De'atsone, S'ayn shayiro b́beyonoru dab shish danaak noone» ett bo aani.
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.”
P'awlosu «Eshe aawu naari gúpe it gúpetsoni?» bí eti. Bowere «Yohanis gúponiye» boeti.
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.”
P'awloswere «Yohans guponiyere naandrone etosh k'aleke, ash ashosh b́keewutsonuwere ‹Taayere il wetuwonee amanore› etfetstni b́tesh, bíwere Iyesusiye» etreboosha.
5 So, when those men heard that, they were baptized [to affirm that they believed] [MTY] in the Lord Jesus.
Man boshishtsok'on Doonzo Iyesus shútson bogupeyi.
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.

7 There were about twelve men [whom Paul baptized and who received the power of the Holy Spirit].

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].
P'awlos ayhudiyots Ik' k'oni mook amt keez shashok'owosh Ik' mengst jangosh mooshfetst ash ashuwotssh kish keewut ááwu shuk'ona b́ danifoni.
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].

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].
P'awlos hank'o b́k'al git natok'osha, manoor Isiy datsatse beyiru ayhudiyotsnat Ik' ashwoterawwotsn doonzo aap'o shisho bofali.
11 Also, God gave Paul the power [MTY] to do amazing miracles.
Ik'o ayidek't adits keewu wotts milikituwotsi P'awlos kishon b́finefoni.
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.

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!”

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.
Ayhudiwots kahinwotsatsi naasho wottso Ask'ewu nana'a shawatuwotswere mank'owa bok'alfo.
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]”
Ernmó kim shayiro «Iyesusi danfee! P'awlosnor danfee! Eshe it konots itne?» bí eti.
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.

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].
Keewumanuwere Efesonitse beyiru ayhudiwotsnat Ik' ash woterawotsoke b́ shishetsotse jametso shatb́wtsi, Doonzo Iyesus shútsonowere ayi eenb́wutsi.
18 [At that time], while other believers were listening, many believers confessed the evil things that they had been doing.

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.

20 As a result, many more people heard [MTY] the message about the Lord [Jesus], and the message powerfully [changed their lives].

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.”
Jaman b́wotiyakon P'awlos Mek'edonitsnat Akayiyiweeron beshat Iyerusalem maants amoosh b́gitsoon gawuk'rat «Manok t bodiyakon Rom maants amo taash geyife» bíetí.
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].

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].
Manoor doonzo weeri jangosh Efesonitse dimbiro tuub́wtsi.
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].
Dimet'rosi eteef ambaar wos'if iko Art'emisn ik' maa aro ambaron doozt ambaar wos'iyiruwotssh ay oot'o b́daatsifoni.
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.
Mansh ashaan ambaar wos'iyiruwotsnat bo fini naari fin detsts k'osh ashuwtsi kakudek't boosh hank'o bí eti «It ashuwotso! Noo gaalo nodaatsir finan finat b́wottsok'o danfte,
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].
P'awlosan ‹Ash kishon dozets aranots Izar Izewerotsiyaliye› ett Efeson s'uzitse b́woterawo muk' datsuniyere okoon Isiyi dats jamatse awuk'o ayts ashonton keweek'rat bí amanitsok'o it it tookon bek'aat it shishtsoniye.
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!”
Eshe hank'on nofino b́ gac'ewoniye, manmec'ro b́woterawon Isiyotsnat dats jamatse ash jamo bin b́ ik'yiru een izar izewer Art'emis Ik'i moo dats baashon b́ ooroniye, bi een wotonwere b́wonewoniyee.»
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!”
Ashuwotswere man boshishtsk'on fayat, «Efesontsu Art'emisiye eeniye!» etfetst bokuhi.
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.

30 Paul also wanted to go [to the stadium and speak to] the people, but the other believers would not let him go there.
P'awloswere ashuwotsok amoosh geyatni b́tesh, b́ danifuwotsmó bíamawok'o bobazi.
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.
Isiy datsatsi naashuwotsitswere b́shuntsuwotsitsi ik ikuwotsi P'awlosok asho woshat «Ashuwots ko'eyiruwok amr n be'erawok'owa» ett bok'oni.
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!
Ashuwots dagotse wac'ro b́teshtsotse aywots eegosh bokoetsok'o dab danatsno b́teshi, man jangosh iko ik keewo keewt b́kuheere k'oshonuwere k'osh keewo keewut b́kuhiri.
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].

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]!”
Ernmó Iskendr Ayhudi b́wotok'o ash jamwots bodantsok'on «Efesontsu Art'emis eeniye!» et fetst git sa'atok'osh ik k'aaron bokuhi.
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!
B́s'uwatse kitutsi guut'f naash eeno, ash asho s'k boaayituwok'o wosht hank'o bíeti, «It Efeson ashuwotso! Efeson kitutse beyiruwots, eenu Art'emis ik' moonat darotse oot'ts bí'aro bokotetuwok'owo jametsuwotsoke daneke.
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).
Han haalitwo konuwor bíaaltsotse s'k it eteetuwok'o, kááronowere gond keewo k'aloniyere it atso kor itdek'tuwok'o geyife.
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.
Ik'i moo c'ayawotsnat noko Izar Izeweri c'ayawu gond keewono keewuraw ashuwotsi hanok dek'at waartee.
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].

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.”

41 That is what the city secretary said [to the crowd]. Then he told them all to go [home. So they left].
