Oihana 19
1 I KA wa a Apolo i noho ai ma Korineto, kaahele o Paulo i na aina mauka, a hele aku la i Epeso; a loaa ia ia kekahi mau haumana,
During the stay of Apollos in Corinth, Paul, after passing through the inland districts, came to Ephesus, where he found a few disciples.
2 I mai la ia lakou, Ua loaa anei ia oukou ka Uhane Hemolele i ko oukou manaoio ana? I aku la lakou ia ia, Aole makou i lohe no ka Uhane Hemolele.
"Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you first believed?" he asked them. "No," they replied, "we did not even hear that there is a Holy Spirit."
3 I mai la kela ia lakou, I ke aha la oukou i bapetizoia'i? I aku la hoi lakou ia ia, I ka bapetizo a Ioane.
"Into what then were you baptized?" he asked. "Into John's baptism," they replied.
4 I mai la o Paulo, Bapetizo mai la o Ioane i ka bapetizo ana o ka mihi, i ka i ana mai i kanaka, e manaoio aku lakou i ka mea e hiki mai ana mahope ona, o ka Mesia no ia, o Iesu no.
"John," he said, "administered a baptism of repentance, bidding the people believe on One who was to come after him; namely, on Jesus."
5 A lohe lakou, bapetizoia iho la lakou ma ka inoa o ka Haku, o Iesu.
On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;
6 A kau aku la o Paulo i na lima maluna iho o lakou, hiki mai la ka Uhane Hemolele maluna o lakou; a olelo ae la lakou ma ka olelo e, a wanana mai la.
and when Paul laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.
7 A oia mau kanaka a pau, he umikumamalua lakou.
They numbered in all about twelve men.
8 Hele mai la ia iloko o ka halehalawai, olelo wiwo ole mai la, ekolu malama ana i hooakaka ai, a i hoohuli mai ma na mea o ke aupuni o ke Akua.
Afterwards he went into the synagogue. There for three months he continued to preach fearlessly, explaining in words which carried conviction the truths which concern the Kingdom of God.
9 A paakiki kekahi poe, a hoomaloka no hoi, olelo ino no lakou i keia aoao imua i ke alo o kanaka; alaila haalele oia ia lakou a hookaawale iho la i na haumana, a hoakaka mai la ia i kela la i keia la, maloko o ke kula o kahi Turano.
But some grew obstinate in unbelief and spoke evil of the new faith before all the congregation. So Paul left them, and, taking with him those who were disciples, held discussions daily in Tyrannus's lecture-hall.
10 Ua hana mau ia keia mea i na makahiki elua; no ia mea, lohe ka poe a pau i noho ma Asia i ka olelo a ka Haku, a Iesu, o ka poe Iudaio a me ka poe Helene.
This went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of the province of Asia, Jews as well as Greeks, heard the Lord's Message.
11 Na ke Akua no i hana i na mea mana ano e, ma na lima o Paulo.
God also brought about extraordinary miracles through Paul's instrumentality.
12 No ia mea, laweia'ku la, mai kona kino aku, na hainaka a me na pale, no ka poe mai, a haalele iho la ka mai ia lakou, a puka aku la na uhane ino mailoko aku o lakou.
Towels or aprons, for instance, which Paul had handled used to be carried to the sick, and they recovered from their ailments, or the evil spirits left them.
13 Hoao nae kekahi poe Iudaio, he poe kuewa mahiki daimonio, a hea aku la lakou i ka inoa o ka Haku o Iesu maluna o ka poe i loohia e na uhane ino, i aku la, Ma o Iesu la, ka mea a Paulo e hai mai nei, ke hookikina aku nei makou ia oukou.
But there were also some wandering Jewish exorcists who undertook to invoke the name of Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, "I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches."
14 Aia malaila kekahi mau keiki na Sekena, he Iudaio, a he kahuna nui, ehiku lakou i hana pela.
There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew of high-priestly family, who were doing this.
15 Olelo mai la ka uhane ino, i mai, Ua ike no wau ia Iesu, a ua ike no hoi au ia Paulo, aka hoi, owai oukou?
"Jesus I know," the evil spirit answered, "and Paul I have heard of, but who are you?"
16 A o ke kanaka maloko ona ua uhane ino la, lele mai la ia maluna o lakou, a lanakila iho la maluna o lakou, a hana ino mai la, a holo kohana aku la lakou mawaho o ia hale, ua eha hoi.
And the man in whom the evil spirit was sprang on two of them, over-mastered them both, and treated them with such violence, that they fled from the house stripped of their clothes and wounded.
17 Ua ikea iho la keia e na Iudaio a pau, a me ua Helene, e noho ana ma Epeso. A kau mai ka makau maluna o lakou a pau, a ua hoonuiia ka inoa o ka Haku o Iesu.
All the people of Ephesus, Jews as well as Greeks, came to know of this. There was widespread terror, and they began to hold the name of the Lord Jesus in high honour.
18 He nui na mea o ka poe manaoio i hele mai, a hai mai, a hoike mai i ka lakou mau hana.
Many also of those who believed came confessing without reserve what their conduct had been,
19 A he nui na mea o ka poe i hana kilokilo, i lawe mai i ka lakou mau buke, a puhi iho la i ke ahi imua o kanaka a pau; a helu lakou i ke kumukuai o ua mau buke la ke kuaiia, he kanalima tausani hapalua.
and not a few of those who had practised magical arts brought their books together and burnt them in the presence of all. The total value was reckoned and found to be 50,000 silver coins.
20 Pela i ulu ai me ka mana ka olelo a ka Haku, a lanakila iho la.
Thus mightily did the Lord's Message spread and triumph!
21 A pau keia mau mea i ka hanaia, manao iho la o Paulo ma ka uhane, e kaahele ma Makedonia a me Akaia, alaila, e hele i Ierusalema, i ae la, A hiki au ilaila, ma ia hope aku, pono ia'u ke ike ia Roma.
When matters had reached this point, Paul decided in his own mind to travel through Macedonia and Greece, and go to Jerusalem. "After that," he said, "I must also see Rome."
22 Hoouna aku la ia ma Makedonia i kekahi mau hoalawehana ona elua, o Timoteo laua me Eraseto; a noho iho la ia ma Asia a liuliu.
But he sent two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he himself remained for a while in Roman Asia.
23 Ia manawa, aole okana mai ka pioloke no keia aoao.
Now just at that time there arose no small commotion about the new faith.
24 No ka mea, he kanaka, o Demeterio ka inoa, he kahuna hana kala e hana ana i na luakini kala no Diana, a nui loa iho la ka waiwai i loaa mai i ka poe paahana.
There was a certain Demetrius, a silversmith, who made miniature silver sanctuaries of Diana, a business which brought great gain to the mechanics in his employ.
25 Hoakoakoa ae la oia ia lakou, a me ka poe paahana ma ua mea me ia, i aku la, E na kanaka, ua ike no oukou, no keia hana i loaa mai ai ka kakou waiwai.
He called his workmen together, and others who were engaged in similar trades, and said to them, "You men well know that our prosperity depends on this business of ours;
26 Ua ike no hoi oukou, a ua lohe, aole ma Epeso wale no, aka, ma Asia a pau, o Paulo nei i hooikaika aku ai a i hoohuli i kanaka, he nui loa, me ka i ana ae, aohe akua na mea i hanaia e na lima.
and you see and hear that, not in Ephesus only but throughout almost the whole province of Asia, this fellow Paul has led away a vast number of people by inducing them to believe that they are not gods at all that are made by men's hands.
27 No ia mea, aole ka kakou oihana wale no ke aneane lilo i mea ole; aka, o ka heiau o keia akua nui o Diana kekahi, e hoowahawahaia, a kokoke e pau i ke kahuliia ka nani o ka mea i hoomanaia'i e ko Asia a pau, a me ko ke ao nei.
There is danger, therefore, not only that this our trade will become of no account, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will fall into utter disrepute, and that before long she will be actually deposed from her majestic rank--she who is now worshipped by the whole province of Asia; nay, by the whole world."
28 A lohe ae la lakou, piha iho la lakou i ka huhu, wawa aku la, i ae la, Nani ka mana o Diana o ko Epeso.
After listening to this harangue, they became furiously angry and kept calling out, "Great is the Ephesian Diana!"
29 Piha iho la ke kulanakauhale a pau i ka haunaele. Hopu aku la lakou ia Gaio, a me Arisetareko no Makedonia, he mau hoahele no Paulo, a holo lokahi aku la lakou i ka hale kiaka.
The riot and uproar spread through the whole city, till at last with one accord they rushed into the Theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, two Macedonians who were fellow travellers with Paul.
30 Makemake iho la o Paulo e komo pu aku mawaena o na kanaka, aole nae na haumana i ae aku ia ia.
Then Paul would have liked to go in and address the people, but the disciples would not let him do so.
31 A o kekahi poe luna ma Asia, he poe makamaka nona, hoouna aku la lakou, kauoha ae la ia ia, aole hoike ia ia iho maloko o ka hale kiaka.
A few of the public officials, too, who were friendly to him, sent repeated messages entreating him not to venture into the Theatre.
32 Nolaila uwauwa ae la kekahi poe i kekahi mea a me kela poe i kela mea; no ka mea, ua mokuahana ua ahakanaka la; a o ka nui o lakou, aole lakou i ike i ka lakou mea i hoakoakoa'i.
The people, meanwhile, kept shouting, some one thing and some another; for the assembly was all uproar and confusion, and the greater part had no idea why they had come together.
33 Hoeueu ae la lakou ia Alekanedero, noloko mai o ka lehulehu, na ka poe Iudaio ia i alakai mai. Peahi aku la o Alekanedero i ka lima, manao iho la ia e hoapono ia ia iho imua o na kanaka.
Then some of the people crowded round Alexander, whom the Jews had pushed forward; and Alexander, motioning with his hand to get silence, was prepared to make a defence to the people.
34 A ike lakou he Iudaio ia, kahea aku la lakou me ka leo hookahi, a liuliu, elua no hora. Nani ka mana o Diana o ko Epeso.
No sooner, however, did they see that he was a Jew, than there arose from them all one roar of shouting, lasting about two hours. "Great is the Ephesian Diana," they said.
35 Hoolai iho la nae ke kakaolelo i ua ahakanaka la, i aku la, E na kanaka o Epeso nei, owai ke kanaka ike ole i ke kulanakauhale o Epeso nei he poe kakou e hoomaua ana ia Diana, i ka mea i haule no Iupita mai?
At length the Recorder quieted them down. "Men of Ephesus," he said, "who is there of all mankind that needs to be told that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Diana and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
36 No ka hiki ole i kekahi ke hoole i keia mau mea, he pono ia oukou e hoolai, aole hoi e hana wikiwiki.
These facts, then, being unquestioned, it becomes you to maintain your self-control and not act recklessly.
37 Ua kai mai oukou i keia mau kanaka, aole lakou he poe hao heiau, aole hoi i olelo hoino i ko oukou akua.
For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
38 No ia mea, ina i loaa ia Demeterio, a me ka poe paahana me ia, ka hala o kekahi, ua maopopo na la hookolokolo, a me na lunakanawai. E hoopii lakou kekahi i kekahi.
If, however, Demetrius and the mechanics who support his contention have a grievance against any one, there are Assize-days and there are Proconsuls: let the persons interested accuse one another.
39 Aka, ina imi oukou ma kekahi mea e, e hooponoponoia ia mea, ma ka ahakanaka ku i ke kanawai.
But if you desire anything further, it will have to be settled in the regular assembly.
40 No ka mea, e hoopiiia mai paha auanei kakou, no ka haunaele o keia la, aole hoi e hiki ia kakou ke hai aku i ka mea i akoakoa'i keia ahakanaka.
For in connexion with to-day's proceedings there is danger of our being charged with attempted insurrection, there having been no real reason for this riot; nor shall we be able to justify the behaviour of this disorderly mob."
41 A i ka olelo ana i keia mea, hookuu aku la ia i ua ahakanaka la.
With these words he dismissed the assembly.
