Acts 19
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.
Ani anjau Apoluj mi Korint, Pauluj kotin kakan jili jap en pali poa kan, ap lele don Epijuj waja a diarada tounpadak kai.
2 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
A kotin majani on irail: Komail aleer Nen jaraui ni omail pojonlar? Irail potoan on i: Je jota man ron, me Nen jaraui mia.
3 He said, “Into what then were you immersed?” They said, “Into Yochanan’s immersion.”
A ap kotin majani: A ij, me komail paptaij on? Irail inda: on paptaij en Ioanej.
4 Paul said, “Yochanan indeed immersed with the immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Messiah Yeshua.”
Pauluj majani: Ioanej paptaij ki paptaij en kalula, ni a majani on aramaj akan, me ren pojon i me pan pwarado mur i, i Iejuj.
5 When they heard this, they were immersed in the name of the Lord Yeshua.
Irail lao ronadar met, re ap paptaij on mar en Kaun Iejuj.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
Pauluj lao kotin pwil po’rail lim a kan, Nen jaraui ap kotidi po’rail, irail ari lokaia nil toror pajan o deideikop.
7 They were about twelve men in all.
A ir ol oko me ekriamen.
8 He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.
I ari kotin purepure nan jinakoke o aima padapadak jauni pon jilu, kapakaparok o kawewedar meakan duen wein Kot.
9 But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
A akai lao kapitakailar, o jo pojon, o lokelokaia jued on aramaj akan duen lamalam, a ap jaupei jan irail o katorela tounpadak kan, o padapadaki on irail nan im en padak en Tiranuj.
10 This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Yeshua, both Jews and Greeks.
Mepukat wiauier jaunpar riau; toun Ajien karoj ari ronada majan en Kaun o, men Juj o men Krik karoj.
11 God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
O Kot me kotin wia kida Iim en Pauluj manaman kapuriamui akan.
12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
Re pil aleer lim en pudo o likau an moa jan pali war a, pwilikidi on me jomau kan, jomau o ap jare jan, o nen jued akan keredi jan.
13 But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Yeshua, saying, “We adjure you by Yeshua whom Paul preaches.”
Men Juj widinok kai, me kin koko jili kati ani, ap jon jakaraki don irail, me tanwar en nen jued kai, mar en Kaun Iejuj, indada: Kit kaukilan komail Iejuj, me Pauluj kin padapadak due.
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
A ol ijimen mia nain jamaro lapalap Jkepaj, ol en Juj amen, me wiadar mepukat.
15 The evil spirit answered, “Yeshua I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
A wen jued japen irail indada: I aja Iejuj, o i aja duen Pauluj, a komail, ij komail?
16 The man in whom the evil spirit was leapt on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
A aramaj o, me nen jued mi poa, ap luje don irail o kaloe irail edi. Ir ari tana jan nan im o kilijo o kili olar.
17 This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Yeshua was magnified.
A met lok jili ren men Juj o Krik akan, me kaujon Epijuj. O majak kipa irail edi, o mar en Kaun Iejuj me lomuinlar kaualap.
18 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.
O me ian pojonlar me toto kodo weokadar o kajaledar arail wiawia kan.
19 Many of those who practised magical arts brought their books together and burnt them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
O pil me toto, me kati ani, wa pena nairail puk o ijik ir ada mon karoj; ir ari wadok pwain ar o diar, me a dok on moni limenen.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
Majan en Kaun ari pwaidar kaualap.
21 Now after these things had ended, Paul determined 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.”
Murin mepukat Pauluj ap kotin inon ion ni nen e kakan jili wein Majetonien o Akaia, ap kotilan Ierujalem majanidar: I lao milar waja o, i pil pan kilan Rom.
22 Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
I ari kadarala Majetonien riamen, kijan me papa i: Timoteuj o Erajtuj. A pein i kotikoteta maj nan Ajien.
23 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
I anjau me moromoron laud wiauier pweki lamalam.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Pwe amen, me ad a Demetriuj, jaunmata amen, me kin wiada im en kaudok jilper kan on Diana, me kare on irail, me kin wiawiada, moni toto.
25 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
I ap kapokon irail pena o toun dodok en jon ota indada: Main ko, komail aja, me dodok wet meid kadepa on kitail, pwe i me kitail kapwapwaki.
26 You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands.
A komail kilekilan o roneron, me Pauluj men et kin kaloedi o kawukila aramaj toto a kaidin nan Epijuj eta, pwe pil koren ion nan Ajien pon, ni a kin padaki on aramaj akan, me dene kaidin irail kot akan, me wiaui pan pa en aramaj akan.
27 Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
Mepukat meid apwal on kitail. Pwe kaidin atail dodok eta me pan kamala, pwe pil im kaudok en kot Diana lapalap o a linan, me toun Ajien o jappa karoj kin kaudoki on pan jorela.
28 When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Irail lao roner mepukat, re ap makara kida kaualap o weriweradar indada: Meid lapalap Diana en men Epijuj!
29 The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.
A karoj toun kanim o ap pinidar, wiaki eu, tanalan im en madon, tanaki Kaioj o Arijtar kuj men Majetonien, me waroki on Pauluj oko.
30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
A Pauluj lao pan kotilon nan pokon o, tounpadak kan ap jota mueid on i.
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theatre.
O jaumaj en Ajien kai, me kompokepa kan, ilake don i, panaui i, ender kotilan im en madon o.
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.
Ari, akai wia eu jon en lokaia, a akai eu, pwe pokon o pinidar. A me toto re’rail jaja karep en ar pokon pena.
33 They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defence to the people.
Irail jikon jan nan pokon o Alekjander; Juj oko me jikonla i. A Alekjander olol on irail, ap men japen pokon o.
34 But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Irail lao aja, me i kijan Juj oko, re ap wiaki eu weriwerada auer riau: Meid lapalap Diana en men Epijuj!
35 When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
A jaunintin en kanim o lao kadukiedi pokon o, ap indada: Komail ol oko en Epijuj, ij aramaj, me jaja, me kanim en men Epijuj kin kaukaudoki on Diana lapalap o dikedik, me pupedi jan nanlan?
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
A ma jota, me pan kak kalikame mepukat, komail en nenenla o der wiada me japun!
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Pwe komail ukedo ol pukat, me jota kin kuliada im en kaudok o, pil jota lalaue omail kot li.
38 If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
A ma Demetriuj o ian a kan mauki meakot ren amen, kapun ap pan wiaui, pwe jaunkapun kai mia, ren kapukapun re’rail.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
A ma komail mauki eu jon toror, i me pan kapunala nan kapun o.
40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”
Pwe kitail pan pukoki moron en ran wet, pwe jota karepen, me kitail en kapunki pokon wet ar tanatan pena.
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
A lao majani on irail mepukat, ap kadar pajan pokon o.
