Aposolo 19
1 Hagi apolosi'ma Korintima mani'negeno, Poli'a agu'afinka kumatamimpi ufreno vuno Efesasi kumate uhanatino, mago'a disaipol naga anantega ome zamageno erifore nehuno,
While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the inland districts of Roman Asia, and went to Ephesus. There he found some disciples, of whom he asked,
2 zamagrikura anage hu'ne, tamagrama tamentintima hu'nazana, hago Ruotge Avamura erinafi? Higeno Agrikura anage hu'naze. A'o Ruotge Avamura mani'ne huta tagra ontahitfa hu'none.
“Did you, when you became believers in Christ, receive the Holy Spirit?” “No,” they answered, “we did not even hear that there was a Holy Spirit.”
3 Hazageno Poli'a zamantahige'ne, Nazamofonte mono tina fre'naze? Zamagra ke'nona hu'za, Joni'ma ti fre'zama huraveri'nea zantere.
“What then was your baptism?” Paul asked.
4 Poli'a huno, Joni'ma tima frezmante'neana, zamasunku hu'za zamagu'a rukarehe hanaza tine huno frezmantene. Vahera zamasmino, agri amage'ma ne'emofonte Jisasimpi tamentinti hiho hu'ne.
“John’s baptism was a baptism on repentance,” rejoined Paul, “and John told the people (speaking of the ‘one coming’ after him) that they should believe in him – that is in Jesus.”
5 Anankema antahite'za, Jisasi Ramofo agifi mono ti fre'naze.
On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus,
6 Hagi Poli'ma zamagrite azama antegeno'a, Ruotge Avamu'mo'a zamagrite ege'za, agafa hu'za ruzamageru ruzmageru neru'za, henkama esiazamofo kasnampa kea huama hu'naze.
and, after Paul had placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit descended on them, and they began to speak in other languages and to preach.
7 Ana mika vene'nea 12fu'a naza eritru hu'naze.
There were about twelve of them in all.
8 Hagi 3'a ikamofo agu'afina, Poli'a osi mono nompi ufreno korera osuno, antahintahizamia eriama huno agrarega zamatreku Anumzamofo avu'ava zankura huankereno zamasmi'ne.
Paul went to the synagogue there, and for three months spoke out fearlessly, giving addresses and trying to convince his hearers, about the kingdom of God.
9 Hu'neanagi mago'amo'za antahi'za zami'mo'a hampo'na atige'za, zamentinti hu'zankura zamagena hunente'za, ana vahe'mokizmi zamufi Ramofo avariri kankura huhaviza hunentageno, zamagrira nezamatreno, Jisasi amage' nentaza disaipol naga nezamavareno, mago nera Tairanusi'e nehaza ne'mofo rempi huzami nonte via'zamo, mika zupa vahe'ene keaga hu'ne.
Some of them, however, hardened their hearts and refused to believe, denouncing the Way before the people. So Paul left them and withdrew his disciples, and gave daily addresses in the lecture-hall of Tyrannus.
10 Amanahu'zana tare kafufi fore huno vu'ne, tarega Jiu vahe'ene Griki vahe'ma Esia provinsifi nemani'za vahe'mo'za Ramofo naneke antahisazegu anahura hu'ne.
This went on for two years, so that all who lived in Roman Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the Lord’s message.
11 Anumzamo'a Poli azampi huvazino rama'a ruzahu ruzahu avame'za mago'ane erifore hu'ne.
God did miracles of no ordinary kind by Paul’s hands;
12 Ana hinogu asime nehamia tavravene (ankasip), tavaravenaza eri'za Poli avufare eme avako hute'za, eri'za kri vahe zamufare ome antageno, krizmimo'a vaganeregeno, havi avamumo'a zamagripintira atirami'ne.
so that people would carry home to the sick handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his body, and their diseases would leave them and the wicked spirits go out of them.
13 Mago kevu Jiu vahe'mo'za retro hu'za mago mago kumate vano vano nehu'za, Jisasi agifi huvame hu'za havi avamura huntenaku nehu'za, ana huvava hu'za nevu'za anage hu'naze. Poli'ma huama nehia Jisasi agifi atiramio huta tagra hunegantone.
An attempt was made by some itinerant Jews, who were exorcists, to use the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had wicked spirits in them. “I order you,” they would say, “by the Jesus, whom Paul preaches.”
14 Mago Jiu vahe'mokizmi rankva nera Skeva'e nehaza ne'mofona, 7ni'a mofavre zaga'amo'za anahu'zana hu'naze.
The seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this;
15 Hianagi ana havi avamu'mo'a ke'nona zamire huno zamasmi'ne, Jisasina nagra ke'na antahi'na hu'na, Polina ke'noe, hagi tamagra izagate?
but the wicked spirit answered them, “Jesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know, but you – who are you?”
16 Higeno agu'afima havi avamu'ma fre'nea ne'mo'a zamagumpi takaureno, himamutino zamaheno rehapatige'za, korankno eneri'za ana nompinti atiramiza zamufa zamapake fre'naze.
Then the man, in whom this wicked spirit was, sprang on them, mastered both of them, and so completely overpowered them, that they fled out of the house, stripped of their clothes, and wounded.
17 Efesasi kumate nemaniza Jiu vahe'ene Griki vahe'mo'zane ana ke nentahizageno, tusiza huno zamagogo nefege'za Anumza Jisasi agi'a erisaga hu'naze.
This incident came to the knowledge of all the Jews and Greeks living at Ephesus; they were all awe-struck, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in the highest honor.
18 Rama'a zamentinti vahe'mo'za eama hu'za zamasunku hu'za, havi zamu'zma'zana eriama hu'naze.
Many, too, of those who had become believers in Christ came with a full confession of their practices;
19 Huama nehu'za zamene vahe'mo'zane avuatga vahe'mo'zane kre'naza avontafe tamina eri'za amate hakare vahe zamure tevefi kre hana hu'naze. Ana avontafe miza se'naza zagoa 50 tauseni'a zago atre'naze.
while a number of people, who had practiced magic, collected their books and burnt them publicly; and on reckoning up the price of these, they found it amounted to fifty thousand silver coins.
20 Ramofo hanavere, e'inahu'zana fore nehigeno, Ramofo nanekemo vuno eno huno hankavetino me'ne.
So irresistibly did the Lord’s message spread and prevail.
21 Anazana fore hutegeno Poli'a Masedonia kaziga vute'na Griki kaziga nevu'na Jerusalemi kumate vute'na, henka'a Romu kuma enena ome kegahue huno agesa antahine.
Sometime after these events Paul resolved to go through Macedonia and Greece, and then make his way to Jerusalem. “And after I have been there,” he said, “I must visit Rome also.”
22 Tare azahu netrema, Timotine Erastusine huzanantegeke Masedonia kaziga vakeno, osi'agna Poli'a Esia mani'ne.
So he sent to Macedonia two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, while he himself stayed for some time longer in Roman Asia.
23 Ana knafina, Jisasi Kamofonkura tusi'a hazenke Efesasia fore hu'ne.
Just about that time a great disturbance arose about the Way.
24 Na'ankure magora silvare tuzampaza tro nehia ne'mofo agi'a Demetriusikino, silvareti mago amema'a trohu'neana, Atemisi mono hunentea kna'za tro hu'ne. Anazama tro'ma nehaza naga'mo'za, tusi'a zagokrerafa anazantetira tro'nehaze.
A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver models of the shrine of Artemis, and so gave a great deal of work to the artisans,
25 Demetriusi'a anahu eri'zama antahi'naza eri'za vahera kehutru huno anage hu'ne. Ama vahe'motagi, amanahu eri'zantetira zagogrerafa erifore nehune hu'ne.
got these men together, as well as the workmen engaged in similar occupations, and said: “Men, you know that our prosperity depends on this work,
26 Hanki tamagra ketma antahitama nehaze, Efesasige ana nosianki, Esia kokampina Poli'ma vahetamina kema zamasamino, vahe'mo'ma azanteti'ma trohu'nea anumzana, e'i tamage huno anumzana omanitfa hune huno tusi'a vahe krerafa zamazeri ruvahe nehie.
and you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but in almost the whole of Roman Asia, this Paul has convinced and won over great numbers of people, by his assertion that those Gods which are made by hands are not Gods at all.
27 Hago menina hazenke fore hu'ne, tagri zago erizankera eri havizana osugahie. Hianagi so'e a' anumza Atemisi mono nomo'a amne zankna hanigeno, Esia kokampi vahe'mo'zane, ama mopa kagi'afi vahe'mo'zama, mono hunentaza vahe'mo'za atre'sageno, ana a'mofo hanave'amo'a haviza hugahie.
So that not only is this business of ours likely to fall into discredit, but there is the further danger that the Temple of the great Goddess Artemis will be thought nothing of, and that she herself will be deprived of her splendor – though all Roman Asia and the whole world worship her.”
28 Anankema nentahi'za, zamarimpamo'a haviza nehige'za oti'za keza ati'za Efesasia so'e rantia, Atemisi'a agrake mani'ne!
When they heard this, the men were greatly enraged, and began shouting – “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
29 Higeno rankumapina rama'a kereso nehu'za, vahe'mo'za magoka zamagare'za krina nehazage'za mani'neza negaza kumapi (stetium) ufre'za, Mesadoniati Poli'enema e'na'a netre Gaiusine Aristakusikiznia zanavazu hu'za vu'naze.
The commotion spread through the whole city, and the people rushed together into the amphitheater, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, two Macedonians who were Paul’s traveling companions.
30 Poli'ma ana vahe'zagamo'ma atru hu'nefima ufreku'ma nehige'za, Jisasi amage nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za otre'naze.
Paul wished to go into the amphitheater and face the people, but the disciples would not let him,
31 Higeno mago'ene mago'a Esia kumate kva vahera, Polina knampa'agi'za anama atru hu'nafina keke huntonanki uofreno hu'za hampo'nati'za kea atrente'naze.
while some of the chief religious officials of the province, who were friendly to him, sent repeated entreaties to him not to trust himself inside.
32 Higeno mago'amo'za magoke zanku kezati'zageno, mago'amo'za otage zanku kezatizageno, anama atru hu'za negaza vahe'mo'za tusi savari nehazageno, rama'amo'za nahige'za atru hu'nazo amara osu'naze.
Meanwhile some were shouting one thing and some another, for the Assembly was all in confusion, most of those present not even knowing why they had met.
33 Vahepintira Aleksandana Jiu vahe'mo'za atufe'za zamuga eme nente'za, ama ana zamofo keaga eriama hunka zamasmio hu'za huhanaveti'naze. Aleksanda'a ama ana vahe'mo'zama hazankere nona huzmanteku azana antesga hu'ne.
But some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom several of the Jewish leaders had pushed to the front, and he waved his hand to show that he wanted to speak in their defense to the people.
34 Hu'neanagi kazama Aleksanda'a Jiu ne'ma mani'nege'za nege'za, ana mika vahe'mo'za magoke kere zamagerura erinte'za, 2'a auamofo agu'afina kezati'za, Efesasitira knare huno agatererfa rantia, Atemisi agrake mani'ne!
However, when they recognized him as a Jew, one cry broke from them all, and they continued shouting for two hours – “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
35 Rankumapima avoma negrea (kuskus) ne'mo ana vahe kevua zamazeri rava huteno anage hu'ne. Efesasi vahe'motma antahiho, ina vahe'mo antahino keno osu'ne? Efesasia ranku'mamo'a Atemesi agetererfa ra anumzamofo mono nona kegava nehie. Ana a'mofo amema'a monafinti asga hurami'ne.
When the Recorder had succeeded in quieting the crowd, he said, “People of Ephesus, who is there, I ask you, who needs to be told that this city of Ephesus is the Warden of the Temple of the great Artemis, and of the statue which fell down from Zeus?
36 Ana hu'negu ama ana zankura ke hakare osugahaze. Taganetma mani'netma ame'amara osutma tamagesa antahitetma anazana hugahaze.
As these are undeniable facts, you ought to keep calm and do nothing rash;
37 Na'ankure tamagrama, ama ana vene'nema zamaretma e'nazana, ra mono nompintira kumazafa ose'na'e, tagrama anteneta mono hunentona a' anumzankura (goddess) huhavizana huonte'na'e.
for you have brought these men here, though they are neither robbers of Temples nor blasphemers of our Goddess.
38 E'ina'ma Demetriusi'o agrane eri'za eneriza naga'mo'zama rumokizmima huzmante'nesigetma ke refakohu nonte zamaretma vinke'za, kva vahe'mofo zamure keaga hugantu hugama hugahaze.
If, however, Demetrius and the artisans who are acting with him have a charge to make against anyone, there are court days and there are Magistrates; let both parties take legal proceedings.
39 Hu'neanagi mago'anema keagama hunaku hanutma, vahe'ma atruhu'za keagama azerirva nehaza knazupa kanisol vahete mareritma azerirava hugahaze.
But if you want anything more, it will have to be settled in the regular Assembly.
40 Na'ankure menima kehakarema nehuna zankuma, Romu rankva vahe'mo'za tantahigesageta hazenkefi manigahune. Na'ankure eriama huta zamasmisuna knare agafa'a omane'ne.
For I tell you that we are in danger of being proceeded against for today’s riot, there being nothing to account for it; and in that case we will be at a loss to give any reason for this disorderly gathering.”
41 E'inahu kema huno nezmasmino'a, ana atrua eritrege'za vuza e'za hu'naze.
With these words he dismissed the Assembly.
