Asan'ny Apostoly 19
1 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,
And it came to pass, that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper region, came to Ephesus; and finding certain disciples,
2 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.
He said to them, Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? And they said to him, We have not so much as heard whether there is any Holy Spirit.
3 Aa le hoe re: Ami’ty inoñe arè ty nampiliporañe anahareo? Ty fampilipora’ i Jaonay, hoe iareo.
And he said to them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
4 Aa le hoe t’i Paoly: Toe nandipotse ami’ty fandiporam-pisolohoañe t’i Jaona, hatokisa’ iareo i manonjohy azey: Iesoà izay.
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, That they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 Ie jinanji’ iereo, le nalipotse ami’ty tahina’ Iesoà Talè.
When they heard [this], they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 Le nanampeza’ i Paoly fitàñe naho nivotraha’ i Arofo Masiñey naho nilikoliko vaho nitoky.
And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in languages, and prophesied.
7 Va’e folo ro’amby indaty rey.
And all the men were about twelve.
8 Nizilik’ am-pitontonañ’ao t’i Paoly le nilañoñe telo volañe, am-pahavaniañe nitaroñe naho nañosike iareo amy Fifehean’ Añaharey.
And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
9 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.
But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
10 Nitoloñe’ iereo roe taoñe izay, aa le hene nahajanjiñe ty tsara’ Iehovà o mpimoneñe Asiao, ndra Jiosy ndra Grika.
And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11 Nitolon-draha tsitantane am-pità’ i Paoly t’i Andriañahare,
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
12 ie nendeseñe boak’ an-tsandri’e ty sarimbo ndra masoara mb’ amo silokeo le nifiañe i hasilokey vaho nifaok’ añe o angatseo.
So that from his body were brought to the sick, handkerchiefs, or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
13 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.
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them who had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 Nanao izay ka ty anadahy fito’ i Skeva, Jiosy, talèm-pisoroñe,
And there were seven sons of [one] Sceva a Jew, [and] chief of the priests, who did so.
15 aa le tinoi’ i anga-dratiy ty hoe: Fantako t’Iesoa, apotako i Paoly, fa ia v’inahareoo?
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
16 Le niambotraha’ indaty niangara’ i kokolampaiy naho fonga ginore’e vaho rineba’e, le nibotatsak’ amy anjombay iereo nibongibongy naho nitsiri-dio.
And the man in whom the evil spirit was, leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 Kanao hene naharendreke izay ndra Jiosy ndra Grika mpimoneñe Efesosy ao le nivotraha’ ty eveñe, vaho nonjoneñe ty tahina’ Iesoà Talè.
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus: and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 Aa le maro amo nahafiatoo ty nimb’eo nisoloho, vaho namoraborake o sata’eo.
And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
19 Natonto’ ty mpisikily maro ka o boke’eo naho niforototoe’ iereo am-batraike. Ie vinolily, le nizoeñe te drakma lime ale ty vili’ irezay.
Many also of them who used curious arts, brought their books together, and burned them before all [men]; and they counted the price of them, and found [it] fifty thousand [pieces] of silver.
20 Aa le nienatse an-kaozarañe ty tsara’ Iehovà vaho nahareketse.
So mightily grew the word of God, and prevailed.
21 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.
After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia, and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
22 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.
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
23 Ie amy zay, nipoñake ty fitrobotroboañe jabajaba ty amy Lalañey.
And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
24 Teo ty mpanefe vola foty atao Demetrio, mpamboatse hazomanga volafoty ho amy Artemise, ze nampivangongo ty fitoloña’ o mpanefeo.
For a certain [man] named Demetrius, a silver-smith, who made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain to the artificers;
25 Kinoi’e hivory o mpitrao-tolon-drahao, vaho hoe ty asa’e: O androanavio, fohi’ areo te o tolon-drahao ro mampiraorao an-tika;
Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth:
26 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.
Moreover, ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away many people, saying, that they are no gods which are made with hands.
27 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.
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at naught; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia, and the world worshipeth.
28 Ie nahajanjiñe iereo, le nilifom-piforoforo vaho songa nikoràke ty hoe: Ra’elahy t’i Artemise’ o nte Efesosio!
And when they heard [these sayings], they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians.
29 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.
And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theater.
30 Ho naneñateña amy fiharondembohañ’ ao t’i Paoly fe tsy napo’ o mpiòkeo.
And when Paul would have entered in to the people, the disciples suffered him not.
31 Nañitrik’ ama’e ka ty ila’ o bei’ i Asia rañe’eo, ty tsy hitoaña’e i tameañey.
And certain of the chief of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him, desiring [him] that he would not adventure himself into the theater.
32 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.
Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not why they had come together.
33 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.
And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defense to the people.
34 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!
But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians.
35 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?
And when the town-clerk had appeased the people, he said, [Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?
36 Aa kanao tsy hay liereñe, le kitra’e hianjiñe nahareo tsy hanao ty hajagarigarìañe,
Seeing then that these things cannot be contradicted, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
37 amy te nasese’ areo mb’etoa ondaty tsy mpamaok’ anjomba miavake vaho tsy mpanivetive an-drañahare-ampela-tikañey.
For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
38 Aa naho te haneseke ondaty t’i Demetrio naho o mpanao satam-pitàñeo, le misokake i zakay, vaho ao o sorotào, angao iereo hifampaneseke.
Wherefore, if Demetrius and the artificers who are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.
39 Hera t’ie aman-draha hafa tea’ areo ho bentareñe, fe am-pivory to ao ty ilaharañe.
But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
40 Toe marivo ho sangieñe tika ty amy hotakotak’ anindroaniy, ie tsy aman-taly hamolilia’ay ty fañotakotahañe toy.
For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause by which we may give an account of this concourse.
41 Ie niheneke i saontsi’ey, le naba’e añe i màroy.
And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
