Itendi 19
1 Apolo pubhaliji ku Kolinto, a Pauli gubhapite mwilambo ya kuntundu, gubhaishe ku Epesho gubhaaimenenje bhaajiganywa bhowepe.
And it came to pass while Apollos was at Corinth, for Paul, having passed through the upper regions, to come to Ephesus. And having found some disciples,
2 Gubhaabhushiyenje, “Nkakulupalilanjeje mwaposhelenje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo?” Bhalabhonji gubhajangwilenje, “Ntape! Numbe tukanabhepilikana kuti apali Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.”
he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, But we have not even heard if there is a Holy Spirit.
3 Kwa nneyo a Pauli gubhaabhushiyenje, “Igala mwabhatishwenje ubhatisho gwashi?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Ubhatisho gwa a Yowana.”
And he said to them, Into what then were ye immersed? And they said, Into John's immersion.
4 A Pauli gubhashite, “Ubhatisho gwa a Yowana pugwaaliji gwa langula kuti bhandunji bhaipetilenje. A Yowana bhatendaga kwaabhalanjilanga bhandunji kuti bhankulupalilanje akwiyajo, yani a Yeshu.”
And Paul said, John indeed immersed an immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus, the Christ.
5 Bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhabhatishwenje kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu.
And when they heard this, they were immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 Bhai, a Pauli gubhaabhishilenje makono, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo akwaatulushilangaga, gubhatandwibhenje kubheleketa luga inape na londola.
And Paul having laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues, and prophesied.
7 Pubhalinginji bhandunji bhanabhalume kuishila likumi limo na bhabhili.
And all the men were about twelve.
8 Kwa myei jitatu a Pauli bhatendaga jinjila nshinagogi, bhalibheleketa gwangali bhoga, bhalibhuyana na bhandunji na bhalikwaakwiyanga ga Ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu.
And after entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading the things about the kingdom of God.
9 Ikabheje bhananji gubhataukenje, gubhakanilenje kukulupalila, gubhatandwibhenje kubheleketa yangali ya mmbone ga mpanda gwa Bhakulungwa pa lugwinjili. Penepo a Pauli gubhajabhwile nikwalekanga, gubhaatolilenje kunyenje bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhakungulwishe nabhonji na bhuyana na bhandunji kila lyubha nnyumba jimo ja shelemala jika mundu jumo, lina lyakwe Tilanushi.
But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, having withdrawn from them, he separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of a certain Tyrannus.
10 Gubhapundile kutenda nneyo kwa yaka ibhili mpaka bhashilambo bhowe bha ku Ashia na Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki, gubhapilikenenje lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa.
And this happened for two years, so as for all those dwelling in Asia to hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11 A Nnungu gubhatendile ilapo yapunda kupitila a Pauli.
And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 Bhandunji bhatendaga tolanga itambaa ya kwiungutila matukuta na nngubho ya a Pauli, nipeleka kubhalwelenji, nilamiywanga ilwele yabhonji na bhakwetenje maoka nipata kuleshelelwa.
so as to even bring handkerchiefs or aprons from his skin to those who were incapacitated and to free their infirmities from them, and the evil spirits to go out from them.
13 Bhayaudi bhananji bhatendaga pitangana ako na koko pita kwaashoyanga bhandunji maoka, gubhalinjilenje kulugula lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu kubhandunji bha shikilwanga maoka, bhalinkutinji, “Ngunakunng'amulishanga kwa lina lya a Yeshu bhaalunguywa na a Pauli.”
But some of the wandering Jewish exorcists, attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims.
14 Bhashinkupagwanga bhana shabha bha a Shekewa bhakulungwa bha bhaabhishila bha Shiyaudi, mubhalinginji munkumbi gwa bhatendangaga nneyo.
And there were some sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, seven doing this.
15 Ikabheje lioka jula gwabhajangwilenje, “A Yeshu naamanyi na a Pauli naamanyi, ikabheje mmanganyanji ashi gani?”
And having answered, the evil spirit said, I know Jesus and I recognize Paul, but who are ye?
16 Na mundu jwa shikilwa jula akwaaumbilangaga bhowe, gwabhapundilenje mashili. Na bhana bha a Shekewa bhala gubhakopokengene lubhilo pa nyumba pala bhauleywenje na bhalinginji makonope.
And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, and having overpowered them, he prevailed against them, so as for them to flee out of that house naked and wounded.
17 Jene nganijo jikushumaga kubhandu bhowe bhatamanganaga ku Epesho, ku Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki. Bhowe gubhajogopenje. Nigubhalikushiyenje lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu
And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, to those who dwell at Ephesus. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 Bhakilishitu bhabhagwinji gubhaikopoyenje pa lugwinjili kukwipeta ga yangali ya mmbone ibhaitendangaga.
And many of those who have believed came, confessing, and reporting their practices.
19 Na bhananji bhatendangaga ya uabhi, gubhapelekenje itabhu yabhonji, guijoshilwe moto palugwinjili. Bhakabhalanganyanjeje galama ja itabhu ila, guiishile mamilioni ga mmbiya.
And a considerable number of those who practiced magical things, having brought their books together, burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 Kwa nneyo lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa gulipundile kushuma na kukola mashili.
Thus the word of the Lord was growing mightily and was prevailing.
21 Gakapiteje genego, a Pauli gubhatumbilile muntima gwabho kwenda ku Yelushalemu kupitila ku Makedonia na ku Akaya. Gubhashite, “Nng'ikaga kweneko ngunapinga ngakubhone ku Loma.”
Now when these things were fulfilled, Paul decided in the spirit, after passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, having said, After becoming there, I must also see Rome.
22 Kwa nneyo, gubhaatumilenje bhaajanguta bhabho bhabhili, a Timoteo na a Elashito, bhaalongolelanje kwenda ku Makedonia, bhalabho gubhatemi kashoko ku Ashia.
And having sent into Macedonia two of those who help him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
23 Gene malangago guikoposhele nnjasha jikulungwa ku Epesho kwa ligongo lya Mpanda gwa Bhakulungwa gula.
And about that time there developed no small stir about the Way.
24 Ashinkupagwa mundu jumo nshipala lina lyakwe Demetulushi, liengo lyakwe pulyaaliji kualaya kwa madini ga hela nyumba yaishoko ika nnungu jwankongwe ashemwaga Atemi. Lyene liengolyo lyatendaga kwapanganga pwaida bhatumishi bhakwe.
For a certain silversmith named Demetrius who makes silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little work to the craftsmen,
25 Demetulushi gwabhashemilenje bhakamulangaga gene maengogo na bhandunji bhananji bhakamulangaga liengo lyolyo, gwabhalugulilenje, “Ashalume ajangu, mmumanyinji kuti mwenemu mutupatila mmbiya.
to whom also (having assembled the workmen about such things) he said, Men, ye know that our prosperity is from this work.
26 Na nnaino nnipilikananga na kwiibhonela mwaashayene ibhatenda a Pauli, nngabha pa Epesho pepano, ikabhe ku Ashia kowe. Bhalabho bhanakwiya na kwaatendebhuyanga bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhakundanje kuti ialaywa kwa makono ga bhandunji nngabha ashinnungu.
And ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this man Paul, having persuaded them, turned away a considerable multitude, saying that there are no gods made by hands.
27 Kwa nneyo kujogoya kwakwe nngabha ga petekuywa liengo lyetupe, ikabhe nkali nyumba jika nnungu Atemi jipinga petekuywa. Kungai upalume gwa bhene bhaatindibhalilwa pa shilambo sha Ashia na shilambolyo shiupele.”
And not only is this our part liable to come into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis is going to be regarded for nothing, and also her magnificence be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.
28 Bhakapilikananjeje genego, guyaashimilenje, gubhatandwibhenje kujobhela bhalinkutinji. “Bhakulungwa ni Atemi bha ku Epesho!”
And when they heard this, having become full of wrath, they cried out, saying, The great Artemis of Ephesians.
29 Shilambo showe shikugumbalaga nnjasha. Gubhaakamulenje a Gayo na a Alishitako, bhandunji bha ku Makedonia, bhalinginji mwanja gumo na a Pauli, gubhaapelekenje lubhilo mpaka ku lubhala lwa ing'ando.
And the whole city was filled with the confusion. And they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, traveling companions of Paul.
30 Na a Pauli bhapingaga jinjila pakati lugwinjili, ikabheje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakwaalimbiyangaga.
And when Paul wanted to enter in to the crowd, the disciples did not let him.
31 Ashikalongolele bhananji bha shene shilambo sha Ashia shila, bhalinginji ashaambwiga ajabho, gubhatumilnje ntenga gwa kwaashondelesheya bhanajende kwiilanguya kulubhala lwa ing'ando.
And also some of the Asian officers, being their friends, having sent to him, implored him not to give himself into the theatre.
32 Penepo bhananji bhalijobhelenga shana nnei na bhananji shana nneyo, mpaka lugwinjili lula lukupuganikaga. Bhabhagwinji bhangashimanyanga shiumilo shibhaimanilenje pepala.
Indeed therefore some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was confused, and most had not seen why they had come together.
33 Bhandunji bhananji gubhaganishiyenje kuti shiumilo a Alekishanda, pabha Bhayaudi bhashinkwaatendanga bhajende mmujo. Bhai, a Alekishanda gubhajinwile nkono nkupinga bhandunji bhapumulanje bhalipinga bheleketa nkwiitapula pa lugwinjili lwa bhandu lula.
And they urged forward Alexander out of the multitude, having put him forward from the Jews. And Alexander having waved his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd.
34 Ikabheje bhakamumanyanjeje kuti bhalabho Bhayaudi, bhowenji gubhajobhelenje gwanakamo bhalinkutinji, “Atemi bha pa Epesho ni bhakulungwa!” Gubhajobhelenje nneyo kwa mashaa gabhili.
But after recognizing that he was a Jew, one voice developed from them all, crying out for about two hours, The great Artemis of Ephesians.
35 Kungai bhaajandika bha shilambo gubhakombwele kwaapumuyanga, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmashilambo bha pa Epesho, kila mundu amumanyi kuti shilambo sha Epesho shino ni nkugoya jwa nyumba jika nnungu Atemi na nkugoya jwa shindu shigwile kukopoka kunnungu.
And when the town clerk calmed the multitude, he says, Ephesian men, now who is the man who does not know the city of the Ephesians being temple-guardian of the great goddess Artemis, and of what fell from Zeus?
36 Jwakwapi mundu jwa tauka gegano. Kwa nneyo, mwitimalikanje, nnatendanje shindu shoshowe gwamba.
Therefore these things being undeniable, ye ought to be restrained, and do nothing rash.
37 Nshikwashemanga abha bhandunjibha apano nkali shakwa shibhajibhilenje nnyumba jika nnungu wala kuntukana nnungu jwetu jwankongwe.”
For ye brought these men, who are neither sacrilegious nor blaspheming your goddess.
38 “Bhai, ibhaga Demetulushi na bhatumishi ajakwe bhakwetenje shalugula sha bhene bhanganyanjibha, lupali lukumbi na bhanangulungwa bha shilambo bhapalinji, bhakalugulane kweneko.
Indeed therefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen with him, have a matter against any man, forums are brought, and there are proconsuls. Let them accuse each other.
39 Na ibhaga nkuloleyanga gana, shigagumbwe pa lukumbi lwa manyika na bhashilambo.
And if ye seek anything about other things, it will be decided in the assembly within law.
40 Pabha gakoposhele leloga yapinjikwe tulugulwe kwa kumbuya nnjasha. Ai nnjashai yangali shiumilo na shitulepele kutaya shiumilo shammbone sha yene nnjashai.”
For we are also in danger to be accused about the uproar today, there being no cause about which we can give account of this commotion.
41 Bhakabheleketanjeje genego, gubhapwilingenye lukumbi.
And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
