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,
Ke Apollos el muta Corinth, Paul el fahsr apunla facl ma oan epang, ac tuku nu Ephesus. Ke el sun acn we el osun nu sin kutu mwet lulalfongi
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;'
ac siyuk selos, “Ku kowos tuh eis Ngun Mutal ke pacl se kowos ekla mwet lulalfongi?” Ac elos topuk, “Kut tiana lohng mu oasr Ngun Mutal.”
3 and he said unto them, 'To what, then, were ye baptized?' and they said, 'To John's baptism.'
Ac Paul el sifilpa siyuk selos, “Na baptais fuka kowos eis ah?” Elos topuk nu sel, “Baptais se John el luti kac.”
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;'
Na Paul el fahk, “Baptais lal John ma nu selos su auliyak liki ma koluk lalos, ac el oayapa fahk nu sin mwet Israel mu elos in lulalfongi in el su ac tuku tokol — aok, Jesus.”
5 and they, having heard, were baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus,
Ke elos lohng ma inge, elos baptaisla inen Leum Jesus.
6 and Paul having laid on them [his] hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying,
Paul el filiya paol faclos; ac Ngun Mutal tuku nu faclos; ac elos kaskas ke pusra ma siena liki kas lalos, ac fahkak kas lun God.
7 and all the men were, as it were, twelve.
Mwet singoul luo nufon pa ke u sac.
8 And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the reign of God,
Paul el utyak nu ke iwen lolngok ac el kaskas pulaikna nu sin mwet uh ke malem tolu. El sramsram ac asiyuki yorolos, ac srike in furokolos in lulalfongi ke Tokosrai lun God.
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.
Tusruktu kutu selos arulana upa insialos ac tia lulalfongi, ac ye mutun walil sac elos fahk kas in akkolukye u se pangpang Mwet Fahsr ke Inkanek lun Leum. Ke ma inge Paul el fahsr lukelos ac usla mwet lulalfongi uh welul, ac el lotelos len nukewa ke lohm in tukeni se su ma sel Tyrannus.
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,
Ouiya se inge orek ke lusen yac luo, oru mwet nukewa su muta in acn Asia, kewana mwet Jew ac mwet Greek, elos lohng ke kas lun Leum.
11 mighty works also — not common — was God working through the hands of Paul,
God El sang ku nu sel Paul in oru mwenmen na usrnguk.
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.
Finne handkerchief ku apron ma pusralla manol Paul, fin utukla nu yurin mwet mas uh, na mas lalos ac wanginla, ac ngun fohkfok uh ac illa lukelos.
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;'
Kutu mwet Jew ma forfor ac sisla ngun fohkfok elos srike in wi pac orekmakin inen Leum Jesus in oru ma inge. Elos ac fahk nu sin ngun fohkfok, “Nga sapkin nu sum ke inen Jesus su Paul el fahkak kac.”
14 and there were certain — seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest — who are doing this thing;
Tamulel itkosr su wen natul Sceva, sie Mwet Tol Fulat lun mwet Jew, pa oru ma inge.
15 and the evil spirit, answering, said, 'Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; and ye — who are ye?'
Tusruk ngun fohkfok el fahk nu selos, “Nga etal Jesus, ac nga etu pac kacl Paul; a kowos — su kowos an?”
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,
Mwet se ma ngun fohkfok ah oan sel el sroang nu selos ac ku lukelos. Elos kaingla liki lohm uh, koflufol ac kinkineta.
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,
Mwet Jew ac mwet pegan nukewa ma muta Ephesus elos lohng ke ma sikyak inge; ac elos nukewa arulana sangeng, ac inen Leum Jesus akfulatyeyuk yohk liki meet.
18 many also of those who did believe were coming, confessing and declaring their acts,
Pus sin mwet lulalfongi uh tuku, ac sifacna fahkak ma koluk lalos ye mutun mwet uh.
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;
Pus pac sin mwet ma orek inutnut elos orani book natulos nukewa ac esukak in walil uh. Fin sisani molin book inge ac tuh oasr ke ipin silver lumngaul tausin.
20 so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing.
Ke sripen orekma ku inge nukewa, kas lun Leum uh yokyokelik ac kui.
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;'
Tukun ma inge, Paul el sulela sel in fahsr sasla Macedonia ac Achaia, na ingo lac nu Jerusalem. Ac el fahk, “Tukun nga ac sun acn inge, nga enenu na in som pac nu Rome.”
22 and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him — Timotheus and Erastus — he himself stayed a time in Asia.
Ouinge el supwalla Timothy ac Erastus, luo sin mwet kasru lal, nu Macedonia, ac el muta kitin pacl in Asia.
23 And there came, at that time, not a little stir about the way,
In pacl se inge lokoalok na upa sikyak in acn Ephesus ke sripen u se pangpang Mwet Fahsr ke Inkanek lun Leum.
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,
Oasr mwet orekma ke silver se pangpang Demetrius, su orek ma sruloala srisrik ke silver ma oana luman tempul lulap lun god mutan Artemis. Mwet orekma lal Demetrius eis mani na yohk ke orekma se inge.
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;
Na Demetrius el pangoneni mwet nukewa ma wi oru kain in orekma se inge, ac fahk nu selos, “Mwet wiuk in orekma, kowos etu lah kasrpasr tuku ke orekma se lasr inge.
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;
Kowos sifacna liye ac lohng ma mwet se inge Paul el oru. El fahk mu god ma orekla sin mwet uh tiana god pwaye, ac el oru mwet puspis in acn Ephesus, ac apkuran in acn Asia nufon, in lulalfongi ma el fahk uh.
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.'
Sensen lasr uh pa mwet uh ac orala kas in akkolukyela orekma lasr uh. Ac tia ma sacn mukena, a kut sensen pac mu tempul lun god mutan Artemis ac wanginla kalmac, ac mwet uh ac fah tia sifil akfulatyal — god mutan se su mwet in acn Asia ac faclu nufon alu nu se uh!”
28 And they having heard, and having become full of wrath, were crying out, saying, 'Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!'
Ke u sac lohng kas inge, elos arulana kasrkusrakak, ac wowo fahk, “Artemis lun Ephesus el fulatlana!”
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.
Fohsak se inge fahsrelik in siti sac nufon. U sac sruokilya Gaius ac Aristarchus, mwet Macedonia luo su welul Paul forfor, ac usaltalla nu nien intoe srital lulap ke siti uh.
30 And on Paul's purposing to enter in unto the populace, the disciples were not suffering him,
Paul sifacna el ke som ac sramsram nu sin u lulap sac, tuh mwet lulalfongi elos tia lela.
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.
Kutu sin mwet fulat lun acn we, su mwet kawuk lal, supwala pac sap soko nu sel ac kwafe elan tia som nu nien intoe srital ah.
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;
In pacl sac tukeni sac arulana fohsak: kutu mwet wowo ke siena ma, ac kutu ke sie pacna, ac pusiyen mwet uh tia etu sripen toeni lalos.
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,
Kutu mwet uh nunku mu Alexander pa sripauk, mweyen mwet Jew uh pahtkolak elan tu meet. Na Alexander el kolak paol nu sin mwet uh in akmisyelos, ac el srike in aketeya nu selos ma orek uh.
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!'
Tuh ke elos akilenak lah el sie mwet Jew, elos nukewa tukeni wowoyak ke lusen ao luo, ac fahk, “Artemis lun Ephesus el fulatlana!”
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?
Na mwet sim lun siti uh el akmisyela u sac, ac fahk, “Mwet Ephesus, mwet nukewa etu lah siti lun Ephesus pa liyaung tempul lun Artemis fulatlana, ac oayapa eot saok se ma putatla inkusrao me uh.
36 these things, then, not being to be gainsaid, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Wangin mwet ku in lafwekin ma inge. Ouinge kowos in misla, ac tia oru kutena ouiya lalfon.
37 'For ye brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor speaking evil of your goddess;
Kowos use mwet inge nu inge, a wangin ma elos pisre in tempul, ku fahk kas koluk ke god mutan lasr uh.
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.
Fin oasr mwe tukak lal Demetrius ac mwet orekma lal uh lain kutena mwet, na oasr mwet fulat lasr, ac oasr pac len in nununku. Elos ku in oru tukak lalos we.
39 'And if ye seek after anything concerning other matters, in the legal assembly it shall be determined;
A fin oasr pac ma yohk liki ma kowos suk, enenu in aksuwosyeyuk ke meeting lun mwet fulat lun siti uh, fal nu ke ma sap lasr.
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;'
Tukun ma sikyak misenge uh, oasr sensen lasr lah mwet uh ac fahk mu kut pa purakak wowon sac. Ke wangin sripa ma sramtauk fohs sac, oru wangin sripa wo ma kut ac ku in fahk kac.”
41 and these things having said, he dismissed the assembly.
Tukun el fahk ma inge, el folokonelik u sac.
