Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper regions came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
Ikatula kina uApolo nai wakatula ku Korintho, uPaulo akakila matumbi a migulya nu kupika kisali nika Efeso, hangi wakahanga amanyisigwa kituunga kung'wanso.
2 He said to them, Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? And they said to him, We have not so much as heard whether there is any Holy Spirit.
uPaulo aka atambuila, “Itii, ai mumusingiiye uNg'wau Ng'welu nai muhuiie?” Aka mutambuila, “Aa, shanga ai kuhumile ga nukija kutula uNg'wau Ng'welu.”
3 And he said to them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John’s baptism.
uPaulo akaligitya, “Itungili unyenye ai mogigwe uli?” Akaligitya, “Mu wogigwa nuang'wa Yohana.”
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
Uugwa uPaulo akasukiilya, “uYohana ai wogilye ku wogigwa nua kila itunu. Aka aila i antu awo kina atakiwe kumuhuiila uyo naiza uzeepembya zeyakilaa nuanso, kuiti, uYesu.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Antu nai akija u lukani ulu, akogigwa ku lina nila Mukulu uYesu.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Hangi ikatula uPaulo nai wakaikila i mikono akwe migulya ao, uNg'wau Ng'welu wakiza migulya ao nu kandya kitunta ku ntambu nu kulota.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Jumla ao ai akoli agoha apikiie ikumi na abiili.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
uPaulo ai ulongoe mi itekeelo akaligitya ku ukamatiku ku matungo a myeli itaatu. ai utuile utongee u witambuliyi nu kualuta i antu kutula imakani natulikile nu utemi nua ang'wa Itunda.
9 But when some were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
Kuiti i Ayahudi auya ai atulaa ilugoha hangi ni shanga ijaa, ai andilye kutambula ubii kutula i nzila ang'wa Kristo ntongeela iumbi. Uugwa u Paulo ai ulekenukile ni enso hangi aka abagula i ahuiili kahelu ni enso. Nu ng'wenso ai wandilye kuligitya kila luhiku mu kianda nika Tirano.
10 And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Iki ai kilongolekile ku myaka ibiili, ku lulo ihi nai atulaa ikii mu Asia ai igule u lukani nila Mukulu, ihi i Ayahudi ni Ayunani.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
Itunda ai watulaa ukituma makani makulu ku mikono ang'wa Paulo,
12 So that from his body were brought to the sick, handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
kina ga ni alwae ai akomigwe, ni ahing'wi ai a apumile, itungo nai ahoile u mukako nu ng'wenda nai ipumile mu muili nuang'wa Paulo.
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
Kuiti ai amoli Ayahudi akuhiilya a hing'wi ai alongoe muhinzo kukiila i kipango ni kanso, ai alitumie i lina nilang'wa Yesu ku nsoko a utumili nuao akola. Aze atambuila awo nai akete i ahing'wi; Azeligitya, “Kumulagiilya mupume mu lina nilang'wa Yesu naiza uPaulo ukimutanantya.”
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, who did so.
Nai itumile aya ai atulaa ana mupungati ang'wa kuhani nu Mukulu nua Ayahudi, uSkewa.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
Ahing'wi aka asukiilya, “uYesu kumulingile, nu Paulo kumulingile; Kuiti unyenye ingi a anyenyu?”
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Uyo u hing'wi mukati a muntu waka aputila i akuhiilya a hing'wi nu kuakilya i ngulu nu kua kua. Uugwa akamanka kupuma ito ilo aze ikipwi nu kuaaligwa.
17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Ikani ili likakumuka ku ihi. Ayahudi ni Ayunani, naza ikiee uko ku Efeso. Akatula nu woa nangaluu, ni lina nila Mukulu likakila ku kuligwa.
18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
Hangi, idu a ahuiili ai azile hangi akihanguila hangi azepumilya intendo nimbi nai itumile.
19 Many also of them who practised magic brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Idu ai atulaa akituma ukiliki akilingiila i mbugulu niao, akaisonsa ntongeela a kila muntu. Itungo nianso nai aka allya insailo nia intu nianso ai yatulaa ipande magana a nzogu makumi a taano niya mpia.
20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
Iti gwa ulukani nula Mukulu likakondaniila ku ugali nangaluu mu ngulu.
21 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
ni ang'wa Paulo kukondaniilya u uailya nuakwe uko ku Efeso, Ung'wau Ng'welu aka atongeela kulongola ku Yerusalemu ku kiila ku Makedonia ni Akaya; Akaligitya, Ze yakilaa kutula kung'wanso, intakile ki henga ni Rumi ga.”
22 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
uPaulo waka alagiilya ku Makedonia i amanyisigwa akwe a biili, uTimotheo nu Erasto, naza atulaa amuaiiye. Kuiti nuanso mukola wakasiga ku Asia ku itungo.
23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
Itungo lilo ai ipumiie minyomo ukulu uko ku Efeso kutula inzila iyo.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;
Mutyani ung'wi i lina nilakwe Demetrio, naiza uzipilye i a dudu nia mpia ni itunda uDiana, ai wiletaa usuluja ukulu ku atyani.
25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
Uugwa akailingiila i atyani nia mulimo nuanso nu kuligitya, “Akulu, mulingile kina mu usulsja uwu usese kingilya mpia idu.
26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, which are made with hands:
Mihengile nu kija kina, shanga udu apa ku Efeso, ila pakupi Asia ihi, uyu uPaulo wa apemaa nu kuapiula i antu idu. Ukuligitya kina kutili i itunda naiza azipigwe ku mikono.
27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
Hangi shanga udu ikoli ulugu kina usuluja nuitu ukutula shanga utakiwe hangi, kuiti ga ni itekeelo nilang'wa itunda nu musungu niiza mukulu uDiana uhumile kuholwa kutula mugila anga ndogoelyo. Hangi aza uzee huma ga nukulimilya u kulu nuakwe, nuanso naiza ku Asia ni ihi limukulyaa.”
28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Nai akija aya, ai izuiwe ni ikuo nu kuzogolya, azeligitya, “uDiana nua ku Efeso ingi mukulu,”
29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
Kisali kihi kikizula minyomo, ni antu akamanka palung'wi mukati a kianda nika miginso, aka a amba ia nyamuhinzo auya nu Paulo, Gayo nu Aristariko, naiapumile ku Makedonia.
30 And when Paul would have entered in to the people, the disciples permitted him not.
uPaulo ai uloilwe kingila miumbi nila antu, kuiti i amanyisigwa ai amugiiye.
31 And certain of the chief of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him, beseeching him that he would not venture himself into the theatre.
Ga ni, ang'wi a afisa nia mukoa nu Asia naza atuile ahumbauya akwe akamutwaile lukani ku ngulu nu kumulompa waleke kingila mu kianda nika miginso.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the greater part knew not why they had come together.
Ang'wi a antu ai atulaa akuligitya i kintu iki ni auya ikani ilo, ku nsoko iumbi nila antu ai latulaa lahalinkanilwa. Idu ao shanga ai ahumile ga nu kulinga ku niki ai azile palung'wi.
33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence to the people.
Ayahudi akamuleta uIskanda kunzi iumbi nila antu nu kumuika migulya ntongeela a antu. uIskanda akapumya ilingasiilyo ku mukono nuakwe nu kupumya uganulwa ku antu.
34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Kuiti nai akalinga kina ung'wenso ingi Muyahudi, ihi akazogolya ku luli lung'wi ku itungo nila saa ibiili, “uDiana ingi mukulu nua Aefeso.”
35 And when the townclerk had quieted the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
Ze yakilaa u talishi nua kisali ku likilaja i umbi, ai uligitilye, “Unyenye agoha nia ku Efeso, ingi nyenyu ni shanga ulingile kina i kisali iki nika Efeso ingi musununja nui itekeelo ni lang'wa Diana nu mukulu ni iyo ipisha nai igwie kupuma kilunde?
36 Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Kihenga gwa kina i makani aya shanga ahumikile, kutakiwe kutula nu ulyuuku hangi leki kitumi kihi ku ukau.
37 For ye have brought here these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
Ku ndogoelyo muitangile i antu awa apa pi ibalaza naza shanga i ii itekeelo ang'wi shanga anya kumukuna itunda nuitu nu musungu.
38 Therefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen who are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them accuse one another.
Ku lulo, anga ize uDametrio ni atyani niakoli palung'wi nu ng'wenso akete mitumbo ku muntu wihi, i mabalaza akoli ng'walyi ni aliwali amoli. Ni aletwe ntongeela a lukani.
39 But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
Kuiti anga ize u ewe udume kihi kutula makani ni mangiiza, akitung'wa mi ianza nila tai taai.
40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no cause by which we may give an account of this riotous gathering.
Ku tai kukoli mu ulugu nua kusigwa ibii kutula minyomo luhiku ulu. Kutili nsoko a ushapu uwu, hangi shanga kuutula nu uhumi nua kuganula.
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Ze yakilaa kuligitya aya, aka asapatilya ai anyianza.
