Pakhonchatpa 19
1 Apollos-na Corinth-ta leiringeida, Paul-na manung changsinna leiba lambida laklaga Ephesus-ta thunglammi. Mapham aduda tung-inba khara thengnarammi
It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
2 aduga mahakna makhoida hanglak-i, “Nakhoina thajaba matamda Thawai asengba phangkhibra?” Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “Thawai Asengba ama lei haiba phaoba eikhoidi tajadri.”
He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They said to him, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
3 “Adu oirabadi nakhoina loukhiba baptize adu karambano?” haina Paul-na hanglak-i. Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “John-gi baptize toubiba aduni.”
He said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into John's baptism."
4 Maduda Paul-na hairak-i, “John-gi baptize touba adudi paptagi pukning honglaba makhoigini. Mahakki tungda lengbirakliba Ibungo Jisubu thajanaba mahakna Israel-gi misingda hairammi.”
Paul said, "John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus."
5 Masi tabada makhoina Ibungo Jisugi mingda baptize lourammi.
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 Paul-na makhoigi mathakta khut thambibada Thawai Asengbana makhoigi mathakta lengthabiraklammi aduga makhoina atoppa lon nganglammi amasung Tengban Mapugi wa phongdoklammi.
When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with other tongues and prophesied.
7 Mapham aduda makhoi punna mi taranithoirom leirammi.
They were about twelve men in all.
8 Paul-na synagogue-ta changduna tha ahum chupna misingga thouna phana wa nganglammi, Tengban Mapugi leibakki maramda makhoiga khanna neinaduna makhoibu thajahannaba hotnarammi.
He entered into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning the Kingdom of God.
9 Adubu makhoi kharadi thamoi kallammi amasung thajou haiba yaramde aduga mi pumnamakki mamangda Mapu Ibungogi Lambi adugi maramda phattana nganglammi. Maram aduna Paul-na makhoibu thadokle aduga mahakna thajabasingbu puraga Tyrannus-ki mahei tampham sangda numit khudinggi khanna neinarammi.
But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the crowd, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
10 Masi chahi ani chatharammi, maram aduna Asia-gi lamda leiba mi pumnamakna Jihudi oirabasu Jihudi nattabasing oirabasu Mapu Ibungogi wa tajakhi.
This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11 Paul-gi mapanna Tengban Mapuna thoidok hendokpa angakpa thabaksing tourammi.
God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 Paul-na sijinnaruraba khutpaiphi nattraga phi phaobana anabasinggi maphamda purakpada makhoigi anabasing pharammi amadi phattaba thawaisingna makhoidaggi thokkhirammi.
so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the evil spirits went out.
13 Mapham amadagi mapham amada koichat chattuna phattaba thawaisingbu tanthokpa Jihudi khara leirammi. Makhoinasu Ibungo Jisugi ming sijinnaduna tanthoknaba hotnarammi. Makhoina phattaba thawaising aduda hairak-i, “Paul-na sandokpa Jisugi mingda nakhoi thoklaknaba eina yathang piri.”
But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."
14 Athoiba Purohit Sceva-gi machanupa taretna masi toubani.
There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
15 Adubu phattaba thawai aduna makhoida hairak-i, “Eina Jisubu khang-i, Paul-busu khang-i adubu nakhoidi kanano?”
The evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?"
16 Adudagi phattaba thawai changba nupa aduna makhoigi mathakta chongsillaktuna makhoi pumnamakpu khudum challammi. Adudagi makhoina maphi marol yaodana sok panduna yum adudagi chenthoraklammi.
And the man in whom the evil spirit was, having leapt on them, having overpowered them all, prevailed against them so that they fled from that house naked and wounded.
17 Ephesus-ta leiba Jihudising amadi Greek-ki mising pumnamakna masi tabada akiba poklammi amadi Ibungo Jisugi mingbu henna ikai khumnarammi.
This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 Thajakhraba mioi kayana thoraktuna makhoina toukhiba phattabasing adu phongna haidoklammi.
Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.
19 Hikap yaikappa touba mi kayanasu makhoigi lairiksing adu puthoraktuna miyam mamangda mei thadoklammi. Makhoina lairiksing adugi mamal pathokpada punna lupa mayek lising yangkhei oirammi.
Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 Matou asumna Mapu Ibungogi wahei adu pak sanna sandoklammi amadi panggal hen-gatlammi.
So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
21 Thoudoksing asi thoklaba matungda Paul-na Macedonia amadi Achaia phaoraga Jerusalem-da chatnaba leplammi. Mahakna hairak-i, “Eina mapham aduda chatlaba tungda Rome-dasu ei chatpa tai.”
Now after these things had ended, Paul determined 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 Mahakpu mateng pangliba Timothy amasung Erastus-pu mahakna Macedonia-da tharammi aduga mahakna Asia-da matam kharaga leitharammi.
Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
23 Matam aduwaida Mapu Ibungogi Lambi adugi maramda Ephesus-ta achouba irang ama thoklammi.
About that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way.
24 Maramdi Demetrius kouba lupagi potchei saba nupa amana Artemis lairembigi laisanggi mawongda lupagi laisang machasing sarammi. Aduga mahakki thabak asina khutsa heibasingda kanaba yamna pirammi.
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
25 Maram aduna mahakna makhoibu amadi sinpham asiga mari leinaba thabaksuba pumnamak kouraga hairak-i, “Marupsa, sinpham asidagi eikhoina sel yamna phanglibani haiba nakhoina khangliba aduni.
whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, "Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
26 Houjik Paul hairiba nupa asina touriba asi nakhoina uriba amadi taribani. Eikhoi mioibagi khutna saba laisingdi Tengban Mapu natte haiduna Ephesus asida leiba mising amadi Asia-gi mapham ayambada mi mayam amabu mahakna thajahalle.
You see and hear, that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands.
27 Maram aduna eikhoigi sinpham asi khakta khudong thiningai oibata nattana matik chaorabi Artemis lairembigi sang asisu khudong thiningai oire aduga Asia pumnamak amadi taibangpan-gi mapham pumnamakta khurumlibi lairembi asigi matik magunsu manghallagani.”
Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence, whom all Asia and the world worships."
28 Makhoina masi tabada mei houna saoraduna laorak-i, “Ephesus-ki Artemis-ti matik chaobini!”
When they heard this they were filled with anger, and began to shout, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
29 Sahar adugi mapham pumnamakta charangnaba aduna thallammi. Miyamsing aduna Paul-ga chatminnaba Macedonia-gi mi ani haibadi Gaius amadi Aristarchus-pu pharaga kummei yengpham sang aduda makhoi punna hotchillammi.
The city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's companions in travel.
30 Miyam adugi mangda Paul-na thokpa pamlammi adubu thajabasingna mahakpu thinglammi.
When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples did not allow him.
31 Paul-ga tinnaba, mapham adugi angambasing aduna mahakpu kummei yengpham sang aduda thoraktanaba haijaba warol ama mangonda tharaklammi.
And also some of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to venture into the theater.
32 Tilliba mitin adu yamna charanglammi; mi kharana wa ama laorammi aduga atei mi kharana atoppa wa amamuk laorammi maramdi mi ayambana makhoi karigi mapham aduda laklibano haiba phaoba khanglamde.
Some therefore shouted one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them did not know why they had come together.
33 Miyam marakta yaoba Jihudising aduna Alexander-bu mayam mamangda inthorakpagi maramna mi kharana mahakna thok-hanbani haina khallammi. Maduda mahakna masa ngakthokchanaba wa ngangnaba mayambu tumminna leibinaba magi makhut hairammi.
They brought Alexander out of the crowd, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
34 Adubu miyam aduna mahak asi Jihudini haiba khanglaklabada makhoi pumnamakna amata oina pung anirom “Ephesus-ki Artemis-ti matik chaobini” haina laorammi.
But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours shouted, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
35 Akonbada sahar adugi che chang panaba aduna miyam adubu tumin leihalammi. Mahakna hairak-i. “Ephesia-gi nupasa, matik chaobi Artemis-ki laisang amadi swargadagi tarakpa mahakki murti adubu Ephesus sahar asina ngak sellibani haibasi taibangpan-gi mipum khudingmakna khang-i.
When the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "You men of Ephesus, is there anyone who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
36 Hairibasing asi kana amatana yadaba ngamde. Maram aduna nakhoina ingthapham thok-i aduga khanthadana karisu touroidabani.
Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.
37 Makhoina laisangdagi karisu huranba natte aduga eikhoigi lairembida thina ngangkhibasu leite adubu nakhoina makhoibu mapham asida purakle.
For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
38 Aduga Demetrius amadi mahakki khutsa heiba marup mapangsingna kanagumba amagi mathakta nungaitaba leirabadi mapham asida wayel sang amadi leingak mapusing leiri, maduda makhoina maralsing adu pukhatpa yai.
If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
39 Aduga nakhoina makha tana karigumba ama pukhatpa pamlabasu wayelgi oiba miyam tinnaba aduna lepkadabani.
But if you seek anything further, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
40 Ngasi thokliba thoudok asigi matungda irang houhanbagi eikhoigi ithakta maral siba yabagi akiba lei. Irang asi thok-hanbagi maram amata leite aduga eikhoina masigidamak maram piba ngamloi.”
For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning this day's riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we would not be able to give an account of this commotion."
41 Masi hairaba matungda mahakna miyam tinba adu kainahankhre.
When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
