Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, in Apollos' being in Corinth, Paul having gone through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and having found certain disciples,
Kawrin kho Apollos ao navah Pawl teh mon lam hoi Efisa kho a cei.
2 he said unto them, 'The Holy Spirit did ye receive — having believed?' and they said unto him, 'But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit;'
A hnukkâbangnaw hoi a kâhmo toteh, nangmouh ni na yuem awh navah, Kathoung Muitha na coe awh toung maw telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni Kathoung Muitha coe hoi coe hoeh e ka panuek awh hoeh atipouh awh.
3 and he said unto them, 'To what, then, were ye baptized?' and they said, 'To John's baptism.'
Hattoteh Pawl niyah, bangpatet e baptisma maw na coe awh vaw, telah let a pacei navah, ahnimouh ni, Jawhan e baptisma doeh ka coe ati awh.
4 And Paul said, 'John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe — that is, in the Christ — Jesus;'
Pawl ni Jawhan teh amae a hnuklah ka tho hane Bawipa hah yuem awh haw titeh pankângainae baptisma doeh na poe awh. Hottelah a dei navah Jisuh Khrih doeh a dei ngai nah atipouh.
5 and they, having heard, were baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus,
Ahnimouh ni a yuem awh toteh Jisuh min dawk baptisma a coe awh.
6 and Paul having laid on them [his] hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying,
Pawl ni ahnimouh lathueng kut a toung pouh toteh ahnimouh koe Kathoung Muitha a pha. Hatdawkvah ahnimanaw teh alouke lawknaw a dei awh teh, profet lawk a pâpho awh.
7 and all the men were, as it were, twelve.
Ahnimanaw teh abuemlahoi hrahlaikahni touh a pha.
8 And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the reign of God,
Hathnukkhu Pawl teh thapa yung thum touh thung sinakok vah Cathut uknaeram kamthang hah taranhawi laihoi a pâpho.
9 and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, having departed from them, he did separate the disciples, every day reasoning in the school of a certain Tyrannus.
Hatei tami tangawn teh a lungpata awh dawkvah yuem laipalah tamimaya hmalah lamthung pathoe lawk a dei awh dawkvah, a hnukkâbangnaw hah a kaw teh ahnimouh koehoi a tâco teh, Tirannus sengim dawkvah hnintangkuem a cangkhai.
10 And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia did hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks,
Kum hni touh thung hottelah a kâroe dawkvah Judahnaw, Griknaw hoi Asia ram kaawmnaw pueng ni Bawipa e lawkkatang teh a thai awh.
11 mighty works also — not common — was God working through the hands of Paul,
Cathut ni Pawl kut dawk hoi ka talue e kângairuhnonaw a sak.
12 so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.
A tak dawk e hnica, hoehpawiteh a kâyeng e hnica a sin awh teh, ka dam hoeh e tak dawk a nep awh navah, ahnimae patawnae a kahma teh muitha kathoutnaw hai a tâco awh.
13 And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took upon [them] to name over those having the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, 'We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul doth preach;'
Hatnavah yuengyoe kâva e Judah miphun, camkathoumnaw ni, muithakathout ni a man e taminaw koevah, Pawl ni a pâpho e Jisuh min lahoi kâ na poe titeh, Jisuh min hah tanouknae lah a hno awh.
14 and there were certain — seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest — who are doing this thing;
Hottelah ka tet e naw teh Judah tami vaihma bawi Skiva e capa sari touh hah doeh.
15 and the evil spirit, answering, said, 'Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; and ye — who are ye?'
Hatnavah muitha kathoutnaw ni, Jisuh hai ka panue, Pawl hai ka panue, nangmanaw teh apinaw maw telah ati hnukkhu,
16 And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house,
Hote muitha kathoutnaw ni a man e tami ni, ahnimanaw hah a cu sin teh, a kathuek a kayak dawkvah caici lah hmâtan hoi a yawng awh.
17 and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified,
Efisa kho kaawm e Judahnaw hoi Griknaw ni hote kamthang a thai awh navah, a taki awh teh Bawipa Jisuh min hah bari kaawm lah a pholen awh.
18 many also of those who did believe were coming, confessing and declaring their acts,
Ka yuem e tami moikapap a tho awh teh, amamae a tawksak awh e naw hah a pâpho awh.
19 and many of those who had practised the curious arts, having brought the books together, were burning [them] before all; and they reckoned together the prices of them, and found [it] five myriads of silverlings;
Camkathoumnaw ni hai amamae hnopainaw hoi cauknaw hah tamimaya hmalah a tâcokhai awh teh, hmai a pau awh. Hote cauknaw phu to navah ngun tangka thong 50 touh phu a pha.
20 so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing.
Hettelah hoiyah, Bawipa e lawkkatang teh thaonae hoi a roung teh tânae a hmu.
21 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying — 'After my being there, it behoveth me also to see Rome;'
Hathnukkhu Pawl teh Masidonia ram hoi Akhaia ram lahoi Jerusalem cei hanelah Muitha patounnae lahoi lawk a tâtueng teh, Jerusalem ka cei hnukkhu Rom khopui hai ka hmu han a ti.
22 and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him — Timotheus and Erastus — he himself stayed a time in Asia.
Hatdawkvah ahni kabawmkung Timote hoi Erastas hah Masidonia ram lah a patoun. Ama teh Asia ram vah dongdeng ao.
23 And there came, at that time, not a little stir about the way,
Hatnavah kamthang lawk kecu dawk ruengrueng ati awh.
24 for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the artificers gain not a little,
Bangkong nama tetpawiteh nguntui kahlun e Demetrias teh Atemis cathut napui e bawkimca hlun laihoi nguntui kahlunnaw hanlah tawntanae lah a coung sak.
25 whom, having brought in a crowd together, and those who did work about such things, he said, 'Men, ye know that by this work we have our wealth;
Demetrias ni ama patet e taminaw hah a pâkhueng teh, huikonaw, hete thaw hoi maimouh teh tawnta awh tie teh na panue awh.
26 and ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, did turn away a great multitude, saying, that they are not gods who are made by hands;
Hatei, hete Pawl tie niyah, kut hoi sak e teh Cathut nahoeh ati teh Efisa kho e taminaw dueng laipalah Asia ram e tami pueng hai a dumyen teh lam a hmang sak toe.
27 and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world doth worship.'
Hete lawk ni maimae min a mathoe sak dueng laipalah ka lentoe e Atemis cathut napui e bawkim hai banglah noutna hanlah awmhoeh toung vaiteh, Asia ram hoi talaivan pueng ni bawk awh e cathut napui e bahu teh a kahma han toe tie ngaihrinae ao telah a dei.
28 And they having heard, and having become full of wrath, were crying out, saying, 'Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!'
Hote lawk hah ahnimouh ni a thai awh navah, a lung thouk a khuek awh teh, Efisanaw e Atemis teh a lentoe telah a hram awh.
29 and the whole city was filled with confusion, they rushed also with one accord into the theatre, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's fellow-travellers.
Hattoteh khobuem ruengrueng ati awh. Taminaw niyah Pawl hnukkâbang e Masidonia tami Gaius hoi Aristarkas hah a man awh teh, pawi thungvah vai touh lahoi a kâen awh.
30 And on Paul's purposing to enter in unto the populace, the disciples were not suffering him,
Hote taminaw koe Pawl ni kâen hane a ngai ei a hnukkâbangnaw ni a ngang awh.
31 and certain also of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, having sent unto him, were entreating him not to venture himself into the theatre.
Pawl e a hui, Asia ram e khobawinaw ni hai pawi thung kâen hoeh hanelah a kahei awh.
32 Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they were come together;
Taminaw teh ruengrueng ati awh dawkvah alouklouk lah a hram awh. Bangpatet ni teh bangdawkmaw kamkhueng a aw tie hai kamceng lah panuek awh hoeh.
33 and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander — the Jews thrusting him forward — and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defence to the populace,
Judahnaw ni Alexander hah hmalah a tâco sak awh teh tami tangawn ni a lungkuep awh dawkvah, Alexander ni a kut a kahek teh kamkhuengnaw koe a dei pouh hanelah a kâcai.
34 and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, 'Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!'
Hatei ahni teh Judah tami doeh tie a panue awh navah, tami pueng ni, Efisanaw e Atemis teh a lentoe, telah suimilam kahni touh hane lawk suetalah a hram awh.
35 And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, saith, 'Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is a devotee of the great goddess Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus?
Hathnukkhu khothung e cakathutkung ni kamkhueng e taminaw cing ati sak teh, Efisa taminaw voi Efisa kho teh lentoe Atemis cathut napui e bawkim hoi, kalvan hoi kabawt e meikaphawk hah ka pâkuem e kho lah ao tie hah ka panuek hoeh e tami apimaw kaawm.
36 these things, then, not being to be gainsaid, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Het hateh oun thai hoeh e lah ao dawkvah bangcahai pouk laipalah, hrumhram sak laipalah duem o hanelah ao.
37 'For ye brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor speaking evil of your goddess;
Bangkongtetpawiteh nangmouh ni na man awh e hete taminaw ni nangmae bawkim na lawm awh hoeh, maimae cathut napui hah pacekpahlek awh hoeh.
38 if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the artificers with him with any one have a matter, court [days] are held, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another.
Hatdawkvah Demetrias hoi nguntui kahlun e naw, nangmouh ni buetbuet touh toe hane awm pawiteh toeim paawng lah ao na yoe. Khobawinaw hai ao dawkvah ama maroi kâhmo na nei.
39 'And if ye seek after anything concerning other matters, in the legal assembly it shall be determined;
Hatei alouke kong dawk pawiteh kamceng lah kamkhuengnae koe lawk tâtueng hanlah ao.
40 for we are also in peril of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day, there being no occasion by which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse;'
Sahnin e hno ka tâcawt e dawkvah kamceng e banghai awmhoeh. Hettelah ruengruengtinae dawkvah maimouh letlang na toe awh pawiteh, kaimouh ni hete kambawngnae dawkvah ka dei thai a mahoeh atipouh teh,
41 and these things having said, he dismissed the assembly.
kamkhuengnaw hah koung a kâkayaw sak.
