Orekma 19
1 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
AND while Apolu was in Kurinthos, Paulos itinerated through the upper countries unto Ephesos; and he asked those disciples whom he found there,
2 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.”
Have you received the Spirit of Holiness from that you believed? They answered and said to him, It hath not been heard by us whether there be the Spirit.
3 Ac Paul el sifilpa siyuk selos, “Na baptais fuka kowos eis ah?” Elos topuk nu sel, “Baptais se John el luti kac.”
He saith to them, And into what were you baptized? They said, Into the baptism of Juhanon.
4 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.”
Paulos saith to them, Juhanon baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying that they should believe in him who was coming after him, who is Jeshu Meshiha.
5 Ke elos lohng ma inge, elos baptaisla inen Leum Jesus.
And when they heard these (words), they were baptized in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
6 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.
And Paulos laid on them the hand, and the Spirit of Holiness came upon them, and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7 Mwet singoul luo nufon pa ke u sac.
But all the men were twelve.
8 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.
And Paulos entered the synagogue, and discoursed boldly three months, and persuaded concerning the kingdom of Aloha.
9 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.
And men of them were obdurate, and contended, and reviled the way of Aloha, before the assembly of the people. Then Paulos removed and separated from them the disciples, and every day discoursed with them in the school of a man whose name was Tyranos.
10 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.
And this was done two years, until all who dwelt in Asia, Jihudoyee and Aramoyee, had heard the word of the Lord.
11 God El sang ku nu sel Paul in oru mwenmen na usrnguk.
And great power-works wrought Aloha by the hand of Paulos;
12 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.
so that they brought even from the garments that were upon his body napkins or wrappings, and laid them upon the sick, and the diseases went from them; and demons also went forth.
13 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.”
BUT men, Jihudoyee, also, who went about and adjured demons, willed to adjure in the name of our Lord Jeshu over those who had unclean spirits, saying, We adjure you in the name of Jeshu whom Paulos preacheth.
14 Tamulel itkosr su wen natul Sceva, sie Mwet Tol Fulat lun mwet Jew, pa oru ma inge.
There were seven sons of a man, a certain Jihudoya, chief of the priests, whose name was Skeva, who did this.
15 Tusruk ngun fohkfok el fahk nu selos, “Nga etal Jesus, ac nga etu pac kacl Paul; a kowos — su kowos an?”
And that evil demon answered and said to them, Jeshu I acknowledge, and Paulos I know; but who are you?
16 Mwet se ma ngun fohkfok ah oan sel el sroang nu selos ac ku lukelos. Elos kaingla liki lohm uh, koflufol ac kinkineta.
And the man in whom was the evil spirit sprang upon them, and was strong against them, and threw them, and they, naked and wounded, fled from that house.
17 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.
And this was known to all the Jihudoyee and Aramoyee who dwelt in Ephesos: and fear fell upon them all, and the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha was exalted.
18 Pus sin mwet lulalfongi uh tuku, ac sifacna fahkak ma koluk lalos ye mutun mwet uh.
And many of those who believed came and acknowledged their sins, and confessed whatever they had done.
19 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.
Many also of the magicians collected their writings and brought and burned them before all men; and they reckoned the price of them, and it ascended to silver five myriads.
20 Ke sripen orekma ku inge nukewa, kas lun Leum uh yokyokelik ac kui.
And thus with great power prevailed and increased the faith of Aloha.
21 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.”
But when these were fulfilled, Paulos set in his mind to itinerate throughout all Makedunia and Akaia, and to go into Urishlem. And he said, When I shall have gone thither, it behoveth me Ruma also to see.
22 Ouinge el supwalla Timothy ac Erastus, luo sin mwet kasru lal, nu Macedonia, ac el muta kitin pacl in Asia.
And he sent two men of those who ministered to him to Makedunia, Timotheos and Aristos; but he remained a time in Asia.
23 In pacl se inge lokoalok na upa sikyak in acn Ephesus ke sripen u se pangpang Mwet Fahsr ke Inkanek lun Leum.
BUT there was made at that time a great tumult on account of the way of Aloha.
24 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.
For there was a certain worker of silver there whose name was Dimitrios, who made shrines of silver of Artemis, and he produced for the sons of his art great gains.
25 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.
This (man) assembled all the sons of his art and those who wrought with them, and said to them, Men, you know that all our merchandise is from this work;
26 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.
and you also hear and see, that not only the sons of Ephesos, but also many of all Asia, this Paulos persuadeth, and hath perverted them, saying, that there be no gods which by the hands of men are made.
27 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!”
And not only is this business defamed and brought to an end, but also the temple of Artemis the great goddess is reputed as nothing, and she also, the goddess of all Asia, and (whom) all the nations worship, is despised.
28 Ke u sac lohng kas inge, elos arulana kasrkusrakak, ac wowo fahk, “Artemis lun Ephesus el fulatlana!”
And when they heard these (words) they were filled with wrath; and they cried, and said, Great is Artemis of the Ephesoyee.
29 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.
And the whole city was perturbed, and they ran together and came to the theatre; and seizing, they led with them Gaios and Aristarkos, men of Makedunia, companions of Paulos.
30 Paul sifacna el ke som ac sramsram nu sin u lulap sac, tuh mwet lulalfongi elos tia lela.
AND Paulos willed to enter the theatre, and the disciples restrained him.
31 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.
And the chiefs of Asia, because they were his friends, sent, praying of him not to deliver himself by going into the theatre.
32 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.
But the crowd who were in the theatre were greatly commoved, and others cried other things; for many of them knew not on what account they were assembled.
33 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.
But the people of the Jihudoyee who were there appointed of them a man a Jihudoya, whose name was Aleksandros; and when he stood (forth) he signed that he would apologize to the people.
34 Tuh ke elos akilenak lah el sie mwet Jew, elos nukewa tukeni wowoyak ke lusen ao luo, ac fahk, “Artemis lun Ephesus el fulatlana!”
And when they knew that he was a Jihudoya, all of them cried with one voice, as two hours, Great is Artemis of the Ephesoyee!
35 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.
And the chief of the city stilled them, saying, Men, Ephesoyee, who is there of mankind who knoweth not that the city of the Ephesoyee is a votaress of the great Artemis, and of her image which descended from heaven?
36 Wangin mwet ku in lafwekin ma inge. Ouinge kowos in misla, ac tia oru kutena ouiya lalfon.
Therefore, since no man can contradict this, it behoves you to be silent, and to do nothing in haste.
37 Kowos use mwet inge nu inge, a wangin ma elos pisre in tempul, ku fahk kas koluk ke god mutan lasr uh.
Yet have you brought these men who have neither spoiled temples nor blasphemed our goddess.
38 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.
But if this Dimitrios and the sons of his craft have strife with any man, behold, the proconsul is in the city, (and) there are officers: let them go nigh and judge one with another.
39 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.
And if you require other (procedure), in the place which is given by the law for an assembly it shall be resolved.
40 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.”
For now also are we standing in peril of being accused as disturbers, because we cannot make excuse for the concourse of this day, inasmuch as we have met uselessly, and have made a tumult without cause.
41 Tukun el fahk ma inge, el folokonelik u sac.
And when these he had said, he dissolved the assembly.
