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,
Teo t’ie e Korinto añe t’i Apolosy, le niranga i tane aboy t’i Paoly naho nipoteake e Efesosy ao vaho nitendreke mpiòke,
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;'
le nanoa’e ty hoe: Rinambe’ areo hao i Arofo Masiñey te niantoke? Aiy! hoe ty natoi’ iareo: mbe tsy nijanji’ay i Arofo Masiñey.
3 and he said unto them, 'To what, then, were ye baptized?' and they said, 'To John's baptism.'
Aa le hoe re: Ami’ty inoñe arè ty nampiliporañe anahareo? Ty fampilipora’ i Jaonay, hoe iareo.
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;'
Aa le hoe t’i Paoly: Toe nandipotse ami’ty fandiporam-pisolohoañe t’i Jaona, hatokisa’ iareo i manonjohy azey: Iesoà izay.
5 and they, having heard, were baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus,
Ie jinanji’ iereo, le nalipotse ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà Talè.
6 and Paul having laid on them [his] hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying,
Le nanampeza’ i Paoly fitàñe naho nivotraha’ i Arofo Masiñey naho nilikoliko vaho nitoky.
7 and all the men were, as it were, twelve.
Va’e folo ro’amby indaty rey.
8 And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the reign of God,
Nizilik’ am-pitontonañ’ao t’i Paoly le nilañoñe telo volañe, am-pahavaniañe nitaroñe naho nañosike iareo amy Fifehean’ Añaharey.
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.
Aa ie nihagàñe ty ila’e naho nanjehatse mbore nanivetive i Lalañey añatrefa’ i màroy, le nisitaha’e naho nave’e o mpiòkeo vaho nañotsohotso boak’ andro an-dakilasi’ i Tiranò ao.
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,
Nitoloñe’ iereo roe taoñe izay, aa le hene nahajanjiñe ty tsara’ Iehovà o mpimoneñe Asiao, ndra Jiosy ndra Grika.
11 mighty works also — not common — was God working through the hands of Paul,
Nitolon-draha tsitantane am-pità’ i Paoly t’i Andriañahare,
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.
ie nendeseñe boak’ an-tsandri’e ty sarimbo ndra masoara mb’ amo silokeo le nifiañe i hasilokey vaho nifaok’ añe o angatseo.
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;'
Aa le rinambe’ o Jiosy mirererere mpitrobo-angatseo ty fikaikaihañe i tahina’ Iesoày ambone’ o vinolevolen-kokolampao, ami’ty hoe: Lilie’ay irehe ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà tseize’ i Paoliy.
14 and there were certain — seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest — who are doing this thing;
Nanao izay ka ty anadahy fito’ i Skeva, Jiosy, talèm-pisoroñe,
15 and the evil spirit, answering, said, 'Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; and ye — who are ye?'
aa le tinoi’ i anga-dratiy ty hoe: Fantako t’Iesoa, apotako i Paoly, fa ia v’inahareoo?
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,
Le niambotraha’ indaty niangara’ i kokolampaiy naho fonga ginore’e vaho rineba’e, le nibotatsak’ amy anjombay iereo nibongibongy naho nitsiri-dio.
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,
Kanao hene naharendreke izay ndra Jiosy ndra Grika mpimoneñe Efesosy ao le nivotraha’ ty eveñe, vaho nonjoneñe ty tahina’ Iesoà Talè.
18 many also of those who did believe were coming, confessing and declaring their acts,
Aa le maro amo nahafiatoo ty nimb’eo nisoloho, vaho namoraborake o sata’eo.
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;
Natonto’ ty mpisikily maro ka o boke’eo naho niforototoe’ iereo am-batraike. Ie vinolily, le nizoeñe te drakma lime ale ty vili’ irezay.
20 so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing.
Aa le nienatse an-kaozarañe ty tsara’ Iehovà vaho nahareketse.
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;'
Ie niheneke, le sinafiri’ i Paoly añ’arofo ty hiranga i Makedonia naho i Akaia mb’e Ierosaleme añe; aa hoe re: Naho hirik’ añe le tsi-mahay tsy hitilike i Roma ka iraho.
22 and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him — Timotheus and Erastus — he himself stayed a time in Asia.
Aa le nampihitrife’e mb’e Makedonia mb’eo ty mpitoro’e roe, i Timoty naho i Erasto, ie nitambatse an-tane’ Asia ao heike.
23 And there came, at that time, not a little stir about the way,
Ie amy zay, nipoñake ty fitrobotroboañe jabajaba ty amy Lalañey.
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,
Teo ty mpanefe vola foty atao Demetrio, mpamboatse hazomanga volafoty ho amy Artemise, ze nampivangongo ty fitoloña’ o mpanefeo.
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;
Kinoi’e hivory o mpitrao-tolon-drahao, vaho hoe ty asa’e: O androanavio, fohi’ areo te o tolon-drahao ro mampiraorao an-tika;
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;
naho isa’ areo naho janji’ areo te tsy e Efesosy avao fa didý tsy mahatsitsike i Asia ty fañosiha’ i Paoly i màroy hiamboho, ie manao te tsy ndrañahare ka o satam-pitàñeo.
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.'
Aa tsy te i balibalin-tikañey avao ty ho mavoeñe, fa honjirañe ka ty anjomban-drañahare-ampela Artemisey hampifotsak’ i fiambesam-bolonahe’ey ie italahoa’ i Asia iaby naho ty voatse toy.
28 And they having heard, and having become full of wrath, were crying out, saying, 'Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!'
Ie nahajanjiñe iereo, le nilifom-piforoforo vaho songa nikoràke ty hoe: Ra’elahy t’i Artemise’ o nte Efesosio!
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.
Aa le nitsitsike fivalitaboahañe i rovay, le nihitrihitry hoe raike mb’an-tameañe ey, naho kinozozo’ iareo t’i Gaio naho i Aristarko nte-Makedonia, mpitrao-lia amy Paoly.
30 And on Paul's purposing to enter in unto the populace, the disciples were not suffering him,
Ho naneñateña amy fiharondembohañ’ ao t’i Paoly fe tsy napo’ o mpiòkeo.
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.
Nañitrik’ ama’e ka ty ila’ o bei’ i Asia rañe’eo, ty tsy hitoaña’e i tameañey.
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;
Aa le nikoràke hoe zao ty ila’e naho hoe izay ty ila’e amy te nifamalitaboak’ i fivoriy vaho ninofi’ i màroy ty talim-pivoria’e.
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,
Tamy màroy ty nampibejañe i rahay amy Aleksandro le naronje’ o Jiosio mb’aolo mb’eo. Aa le nanondrotondro fitàñe t’i Aleksandro hiveroke amo nivorio.
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!'
Fe naho nifohi’ i màroy t’ie Jiosy, le nirihòñe’ iereo an-tazataza añate’ ty roe ora ty hoe: Ra’elahy t’i Artemise’ i Efesosy!
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?
Ie nampianjiñe i lahialeñey ty silikitera’ i rovay le hoe ty asa’e: Ry ondaty nte Efesosio, Ia t’indaty tsy mahafohiñe te mpañambeñe ty anjomba’ i Artemise ra’elahy nivotrak’ atoy boak’ andindiñ’ añe, ty rova’ o nte-Efesosio?
36 these things, then, not being to be gainsaid, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Aa kanao tsy hay liereñe, le kitra’e hianjiñe nahareo tsy hanao ty hajagarigarìañe,
37 'For ye brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor speaking evil of your goddess;
amy te nasese’ areo mb’etoa ondaty tsy mpamaok’ anjomba miavake vaho tsy mpanivetive an-drañahare-ampela-tikañey.
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.
Aa naho te haneseke ondaty t’i Demetrio naho o mpanao satam-pitàñeo, le misokake i zakay, vaho ao o sorotào, angao iereo hifampaneseke.
39 'And if ye seek after anything concerning other matters, in the legal assembly it shall be determined;
Hera t’ie aman-draha hafa tea’ areo ho bentareñe, fe am-pivory to ao ty ilaharañe.
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;'
Toe marivo ho sangieñe tika ty amy hotakotak’ anindroaniy, ie tsy aman-taly hamolilia’ay ty fañotakotahañe toy.
41 and these things having said, he dismissed the assembly.
Ie niheneke i saontsi’ey, le naba’e añe i màroy.
