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.
Napasamak a kabayatan nga adda ni Apollos idiay Corinto, nagna ni Pablo iti makinngato a pagilian ket dimteng iti siudad ti Efeso, ken nakasarak sadiay iti sumagmamano nga adalan.
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.”
Kinuna ni Pablo kadakuada “Inawatyo kadin ti Espiritu Santo idi namatikayo?” Kinunada kenkuana, “Saan, saanminto pay a nangnangngegan ti maipanggep iti Espiritu Santo.”
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.”
Kinuna ni Pablo, “Iti ania ngarud ti nakabautisaranyo?” Kinunada, “Iti bautisar ni Juan.”
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.”
Isu a simmungbat ni Pablo, “Nangbautisar ni Juan babaen iti bautismo ti panagbabawi. Imbagana kadagiti tattao a masapul a mamatida iti umay kalpasan kenkuana, dayta ket ni Jesus.”
5 So, when those men heard that, they were baptized [to affirm that they believed] [MTY] in the Lord Jesus.
Idi nangngegan dagiti tattao daytoy, nabautisaranda iti nagan ni Apo Jesus.
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.
Ket idi impatay ni Pablo dagiti imana kadakuada, immay ti Espiritu Santo kadakuada ket nagsaoda iti sabali a pagsasao ken nagipadtoda.
7 There were about twelve men [whom Paul baptized and who received the power of the Holy Spirit].
Agarup sangapulo ket dua da amin a lallaki.
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].
Napan ni Pablo iti sinagoga ken situtured isuna a nagsao iti las-ud iti tallo a bulan. Indauloanna ti panagiinnadal ken inal-allukoyna dagiti tattao maipanggep kadagiti banbanag a maipapan iti pagarian ti Dios.
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].
Ngem idi dagiti dadduma a Judio ket timmangken ken saanda a nagtulnog, nangrugida a nagsao iti dakes maipanggep iti dalan ni Cristo iti sangoanan dagiti adu a tattao. Ngarud, pinanawan ida ni Pablo ken inyadayona dagiti namati manipud kadakuada. Inrugina ti nagsarita iti inaldaw idiay pagisursuroan ni Tirano.
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].
Nagtultuloy daytoy iti las-ud ti dua a tawen, isu nga amin nga agnanaed idiay Asia ket nangngeganda ti sao ti Apo, dagiti Judio ken dagiti Griego.
11 Also, God gave Paul the power [MTY] to do amazing miracles.
Nagaramid ti Dios kadagiti agkakabileg nga aramid babaen kadagiti ima ni Pablo,
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.
isu nga uray dagiti masaksakit ket napaimbag, ken rimmuar dagiti dakes nga espiritu kadagiti naluganan, idi innalada dagiti panio ken dagiti biddang manipud iti bagi ni Pablo.
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!”
Ngem adda met dagiti Judio, a mangpakpaksiat kadagiti dakes nga espiritu, a nagdaldaliasat iti dayta a disso a nangar-aramat iti nagan ni Jesus para iti bukodda a pagsayaatan. Insaoda daytoy kadagiti addaan kadagiti dakes nga espiritu; kinunada, “Bilinenka a pumanaw babaen kenni Jesus nga ikaskasaba ni Pablo. “
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.
Dagidiay a nangaramid iti daytoy ket dagiti pito nga annak a lallaki ti panguloen a padi a Judio, a ni Sceva.
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]”
Simmungbat ti dakes nga espiritu kadakuada, “Am-ammok ni Jesus, am-ammok ni Pablo; ngem siasinokayo?”
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.
Limmagto ti lalaki a linuganan iti dakes nga espiritu kadagiti mangpakpaksiat iti dakes nga espiritu ket inabakna ida ken kinabilna ida. Ket lamo-lamo ken sugat-sugatda a pimmanaw iti dayta a balay.
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].
Naammoan iti isu amin daytoy, dagiti Judio ken Griego, nga agnanaed idiay Efeso. Kasta unay ti butengda, ket napadayawan ti nagan ni Apo Jesus.
18 [At that time], while other believers were listening, many believers confessed the evil things that they had been doing.
Kasta met nga adu kadagiti namati ti immay ket impudnoda ken binigbigda dagiti dakes a banbanag nga inaramidda.
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.
Adu kadagiti salamangkero ti nangurnong kadagiti libroda ken pinuoranda dagitoy iti imatang ti tumunggal maysa. Idi binilangda ti balor dagitoy, limapulo a ribu a piraso iti pirak.
20 As a result, many more people heard [MTY] the message about the Lord [Jesus], and the message powerfully [changed their lives].
Isu a nagwaras ti sao ti Apo iti nabileg a wagas.
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.”
Ita, idi nalpasen ni Pablo ti ministeryona idiay Efeso, inkeddengna iti Espiritu a lasatenna ti Macedonia ken Acaya iti dalanna a mapan idiay Jerusalem; kinunana, “Kalpasan ti panaggapuk sadiay, masapul a kitaek met ti Roma.”
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].
Nangibaon ni Pablo idiay Macedonia iti dua kadagiti adalanna, da Timoteo ken Erasto, a timmulong kenkuana. Ngem nagtalinaed pay laeng isuna idiay 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].
Iti dayta met laeng a tiempo, adda timmaud a dakkel a riribuk idiay Efeso maipapan iti Dalan.
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].
Maysa nga agpanpanday iti pirak a managan Demetrio, a nangaramid kadagiti kalanglanga ti didiosen a ni Diana babaen iti pirak, ket nangiyeg iti adu a panggedan para kadagiti agpanpanday.
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.
Isu nga inurnongna dagiti trabahador iti dayta a trabaho, ket kinunana, “Kakadua, ammoyo a makateggedtayo iti adu a kuarta iti daytoy a panggedan.
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].
Makitayo ken mangngegyo a saan laeng nga idiay Efeso, ngem nganngani nga iti entero ti Asia, nga inallukoy ken pinatallikud ni Pablo dagiti adu a tattao. Ibagbagana nga awan ti dios a naaramid babaen kadagiti im-ima.
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!”
Ken saan laeng a ti pagsapulantayo ti agpeggad a saanton a masapul, ngem kasta met a ti templo ti naindaklan a diosa a ni Diana ket maibilangton nga awan serserbina. Ket mapukawnanto uray pay ti kinatan-okna, isuna a daydayawen iti amin nga Asia ken iti sangalubongan.”
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!”
Idi nangngeganda daytoy, napnoanda iti pungtot ket nagririyawda, a kunada, “Naindaklan ni Diana a daydayawen dagiti tattao iti Efeso.”
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.
Napnoan iti pannakariribuk ti entero a siudad, ket nagdardaras dagiti tattao a sangsangkamaysa a napan iti pagbuyaan. Tiniliwda dagiti kakadua ni Pablo iti panagdaliasatna, ni Gayo ken ni Aristarco, a naggapu idiay Macedonia.
30 Paul also wanted to go [to the stadium and speak to] the people, but the other believers would not let him go there.
Kayat ni Pablo a sumrek iti ayan dagiti adu a tattao, ngem linapdan isuna dagiti adalan.
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.
Kasta met a dadduma kadagiti opisial ti probinsiya ti Asia a gagayyemna ket nangipatulod iti mensahe a mangibagbaga a saan koma isuna a sumrek iti pagbuyaan.
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!
Dadduma a tattao ket nagpukkaw iti maysa a banag, ken dadduma met ket sabali, ta dagiti adu a tattao ket marirriribokan. Kaaduan kadakuada ket saanda nga ammo no apay a naummongda.
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].
Inruar dagiti Judio ni Alejandro ken impanda iti sangoanan dagiti tattao. Nagsenyas ni Alejandro babaen iti imana tapno agpalawag kadagiti tattao.
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]!”
Ngem idi naamirisda nga isuna ket maysa a Judio, inriyawda amin a sangsangkamaysa iti las-ud ti dua nga oras, “Naindaklan ni Diana dagiti tattao ti Efeso.”
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!
Idi pinatalna ti sekretario ti ili dagiti adu a tattao, kinunana, “Dakayo a lallaki iti Efeso, adda kadi lalaki ditoy a saan a makaammo a ti siudad dagiti tattao ti Efeso ket banbantayanna ti templo ti natan-ok a Diana ken ti kalanglangana a natinnag manipud langit?
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).
Kas nakitayo ngarud a dagitoy a banbanag ket saan a mailibak, rebbengna laeng koma nga agulimekkayo ken saankayo nga agaramid iti saan a nasayaat.
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.
Ta inyegyo dagitoy a lallaki ditoy a pangukoman, ket saanda met nga agtatakaw kadagiti templo wenno mannagtabbaaw iti diostayo.
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].
Ngarud, no ni Demetrio ken dagiti agtrabtrabaho a kaduana ket addaan ti pammabasol a maibusor iti siasinoman, dagiti pangukoman ket silulukat ken adda met dagiti 'ukom.' Bay-anyo nga agpipinnabasolda.
39 But if you want to ask about something else, [you should ask] for [other officials to] resolve it when [those] officials legally assemble.
Ngem no maipanggep iti sabali pay a banbanag ti sapsapulenyo, masapul nga maurnos a dagus iti kadawyan a panaguummong.
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.”
Ta pudno unay nga agpeggadtayo a mapabasol maipapan ti riribuk a napasamak iti daytoy nga aldaw. Awan ti makagapu iti daytoy a riribuk, ken saanmi a kabaelan nga ilawlawag daytoy.”
41 That is what the city secretary said [to the crowd]. Then he told them all to go [home. So they left].
Idi naibagana daytoy, pinagawidna dagiti naummong.
