Asomafoɔ 19
1 Ɛberɛ a Apolo wɔ Korinto no, Paulo tuu ɛkwan faa ɔmantam no atifi kɔduruu Efeso. Ɛhɔ na ɔhunuu agyidifoɔ bi
Ikajha kujha Apolo bho ajhe Korintho, Paulo apetili nyanda sya panani ni kufika mu mji bhwa Efeso, na akolili bhanafunzi kadhaa okhu.
2 bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛberɛ a mogye diiɛ no, monyaa Honhom Kronkron no anaa?” Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Yɛntee mpo da sɛ Honhom Kronkron bi wɔ baabi.”
Paulo akabhajobhela, “Je mwapokili Roho mtakatifu bho mukyeriri?” Bhakan'jobhela, “Lepi, twabhwesilepi hata kup'eleka kuhusu Roho mtakatifu.”
3 Paulo bisaa wɔn bio sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ na asubɔ bɛn na wɔbɔɔ mo?” Wɔbuaa sɛ, “Asubɔ a Yohane kaa ho asɛm no.”
Paulo akajobha, “henu muenga mwabatisibhu bhuli? Bhakajobha, Mu bhubatisu bhwa Yohana.
4 Paulo ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Yohane asubɔ no yɛ ahonu asubɔ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, wɔnnye onipa a ɔdi nʼakyi a ɔreba a ɔne Yesu no nni.”
Basi paulo akajibu, “Yohana abatisi kwa bhubatisu bhwa toba. Akabhajobhela bhanu bhala kujha bhilondeka kunkiera jhola ambajhe ngaahidili baada jha muene, yaani, Yesu.”
5 Wɔtee saa asɛm yi no, wɔmaa wɔbɔɔ wɔn asu wɔ Awurade Yesu din mu.
Bhanu bho bhap'eliki habari ejhe, bhakabatisibhwa kwa lihina lya Bwana Yesu.
6 Paulo de ne nsa guu wɔn so no, Honhom Kronkron baa wɔn so maa wɔkaa kasa foforɔ, hyɛɛ nkɔm.
Na jhikajhe Paulo bho abhekili mabhoko panani pa bhene, Roho mtakatifu akahida juu jha bhene ni kujhanda kunene kwa lugha ni kutabiri.
7 Na wɔn dodoɔ bɛyɛ mmarima dumienu.
Jumla jha bhene bhajhele bhaghosi jhapata kumi ni bhabhele.
8 Paulo de nnam kyerɛkyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no ho asɛm wɔ hyiadan mu abosome mmiɛnsa pɛɛ sɛ ɔsakyera nnipa no adwene.
Paulo akalota kusinagogi akanena kwa bhujasiri kwa muda bhwa miesi midatu. Akajha ilongosya majadiliano ni kubhafuta bhanu kuhusu mambo ghaghihusu ufalme bhwa K'yara.
9 Nanso, nnipa no mu bi pirimm wɔn akoma, annye nni, kasa tiaa nnipa a wɔka ekuo a wɔfrɛ no Ɛkwan no ho wɔ atiefoɔ no anim. Enti, Paulo firii hɔ de agyidifoɔ no kaa ne ho kɔeɛ. Na Paulo kyerɛkyerɛ wɔ obi a wɔfrɛ no Tirano suadan mu daa.
Lakini Bhayahudi bhangi bhajhele bhakaidi na bhabhi belakutii, bhakajhanda kujobha mabhibhi kuhusu njela jha Kristu mbele jha bhumati. Basi Paulo akalekana nabhu ni kubhatenga bhabhikiera patali nabhu. Nu muene akajhanda kulongela kila ligono mu ukumbi bhwa Tirano.
10 Saa nkyerɛkyerɛ yi kɔɔ so mfeɛ mmienu; enti ɛmaa nnipa a na wɔwɔ Asia mantam mu a Yudafoɔ ne Helafoɔ ka ho no tee Awurade asɛm no.
Ejhe jhayendelili kwa miaka mibhele, kwa hiyo bhoha bhakajha bhiishi ku Asia bhap'eliki lilobhi lya Bwana, bhoha Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani.
11 Onyankopɔn nam Paulo so yɛɛ anwanwadeɛ akɛseakɛseɛ,
K'yara akajha ibhomba mambo mabaha kumabhoko gha Paulo,
12 maa mpo ne nnuku ne nʼatadeɛ nsɛnanimu a wɔde guu nnipa so no tumi saa nyarewa, tuu ahonhommɔne nso.
Kwamba hata bhatamu bhaponyisibhu, ni roho bhabhibhi bhahomili wkati bho bhatolili leso ni ngobho sya sihomili mu mbele bhwa Paulo.
13 Yudafoɔ bi a wɔnam asumansɛm so tu ahonhommɔne pɛɛ sɛ wɔde Awurade Yesu din tu ahonhommɔne. Wɔkankye kyerɛɛ ahonhommɔne no sɛ, “Meka Yesu a Paulo ka ne ho asɛm no sɛ, montu mfiri ne mu!”
Lakini bhayele Bhayahudi bhapunga pepo bhakajha bhisafiri kupetela lieneo elu, bhakajha bhalalitumila lihina lya Ysu kwandabha jha matumizi gha bhene. Bhakajobhele bhala bhabhajheni pepo bhachafu: Bhakajobha, “Nikabhaarumuru mubhokayi kwa lihina lya Yesu ambaye Paulo akamhubiri.”
14 Yudafoɔ sɔfopanin bi a na ne din de Skewa no mma baason na na wɔyɛ yei.
Bhabhakabhobi agha bhajhele bhana saba bha kuhani mbaha bhwa Kiyahudi, Sekewa.
15 Honhommɔne no buaa sɛ, “Menim Yesu, na menim Paulo; na mo nso mone ɛhefoɔ?”
Roho bhachafu bhakabhajibu, “Yesu ni mmanyili, ni Paulo ni mmanyili, lakini muene bha niani?”
16 Afei, ɔbarima a honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma yi to hyɛɛ wɔn so, pirapiraa wɔn maa wɔde adagya dwane firii efie hɔ.
Roho nchafu jhola mugati mwa munu akabhanukila bhapunga pepo ni kubhatola nghofu ni kubhatosha. Ndipo bhakajumba kuhoma mu nyumba jhela bhakajha ngoli ni kujeruhibhwa.
17 Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ a wɔte Efeso no tee asɛm yi no, wɔbɔɔ hu na wɔyii Awurade Yesu ayɛ.
Lijambo ele lyamanyikene kwa bhoha, Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani, ambabho bhatamili okhu Efeso. Bhakajha ni hofu sana ni lihina lya Bwana lyazidili kuheshimibhwa.
18 Agyidifoɔ no mu bebree baa badwa mu bɛkaa wɔn bɔne ne wɔn kɔkoamsɛm.
Kabhele, bhingi bha bhaumini bhahidili ni kuungama na bhadhihirishi matendo mabhibhi bhaghabhombili.
19 Wɔn mu nkonyaayifoɔ pii de wɔn nkonyaayie nwoma baeɛ maa wɔhyee wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim. Wɔbuu nwoma a wɔhyeeɛ no boɔ no na ɛyɛ nnwetɛbena ɔpeduonum.
Bhingi bhabhombeghe uganga bhabhongeniye fitabu fya bhene, bhekafinyanya mbele jha kila munu. Bwakati bhene bhibhalanga thamani jha fenu efu, jhajhele fipandi hamsini elfu fya hela.
20 Saa anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ yi maa Onyankopɔn asɛm no trɛɛ tumi so.
Efyo lilobhi lya Bwana lyajhenili kwa upana sana kwa ngofu.
21 Yeinom nyinaa akyi no Paulo yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛfa Makedonia ne Akaia akɔ Yerusalem. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Meduru Yerusalem a, akyire no mɛkɔ Roma nso.”
Jha Paulo kukamilisya huduma jha muene khola Efeso, Roho akandongosya kulota Yerusalemu kupetela Makedonia ni Akaya; Akajobha, “Baada jha kujha okhu, jhilondeka kulota Rumi kabhele.”
22 Paulo somaa Timoteo ne Erasto a wɔyɛ nʼaboafoɔ no dii nʼanim ɛkan kɔɔ Makedonia, nanso ɔno de, ɔtenaa Asia kyɛɛ kakra.
Paulo akabhalaghisya Makedonia bhanafunzi bha muene bhabhele, Timotheo ni Erasto, ambabho bhajhele bhan'saidili. Lakini muene asiele Asia kwa muda.
23 Saa ɛberɛ yi ara mu na basabasa a emu yɛ den a ɛfa nnipa a wɔka ekuo a wɔfrɛ no Ɛkwan no ho sii wɔ Efeso.
Wakati obhu kwatokili ghasia mbaha okhu Efeso kuhusu njela jhela.
24 Dwetɛdwumfoɔ bi a wɔfrɛ no Demetrio yɛɛ Artemi abosonnan sɛso. Nʼadwuma no maa nʼadwumayɛfoɔ nyaa wɔn ho sei tam.
Sonara mmonga lihina lya muene Demetrio, ambajhe atengenisi fisanamu fya hela fya K'yara Diana, aletili biashara mbaha kwa mafundi.
25 Ɔfrɛfrɛɛ nʼadwumayɛfoɔ no ne wɔn a wɔdi saa dwuma ahodoɔ no ara bi no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Anuanom, monim sɛ yɛn ahonya nyinaa gyina saa dwumadie yi so.
Efyo akabhabhonganiya mafundi bha mbombo ejhu ni kujobha, “Bhaheshimibhwa, mmanyili kujha mu biashara ejhe tete twijhingisya hela simehele.
26 Mo ara moahunu, na moate dwuma a saa Paulo yi redi. Ɔka sɛ, anyame a nnipa de wɔn nsa ayɛ no nyɛ anyame biara. Ɔnam saa asɛm yi so adane nnipa bebree adwene wɔ Efeso ha ne Asia nyinaa.
Mwilola ni kupeleka kujha, si apa tu Efeso, bali karibia Asia jhioha, Paulo ojho abhashawishi ni kubhageusya bhanu bhingi. Ijobha kujha ijhelepi miungu ambayo jhibhombiki kwa mabhoko.
27 Sɛ yɛanhwɛ no yie a, yɛn adwuma yi bɛgye din bɔne. Saa ara nso na obiara remfa ɔbosom Artemi a wɔsom no wɔ Asia ne ewiase nyinaa no nyɛ hwee bio na nʼanim agu ase.”
Na sio tu jhijhele hatari kujha biashara jha tete jhibetakujha jhilondeka lepi, lakini kabhele ni hekalu lya K'yara n'dala jha ajhe mbaha Diana ibhwesya kutolibhwa kujha ajhelepi ni maana. Kabhele ngaabhwesili hata kujhasya ubhaha bhwa muene, muene ambajhe Asia ni dunia bhakamwabudu.”
28 Nnipadɔm no tee saa asɛm a Demetrio kaeɛ no, wɔn bo fuiɛ, hyɛɛ aseɛ yɛɛ basabasa, teateaam sɛ, “Efeso Artemi yɛ kɛse!”
Bho bhapeliki agha, bhamemibhu ni ligoga ni kujhuegha, bhakajobha, “Diana ghwa bhaefeso ndo mbaha.”
29 Basabasayɛ no trɛɛ wɔ kuro no mu nyinaa. Ɛdɔm no kyeree Makedoniafoɔ baanu a wɔn din de Gaio ne Aristarko a na wɔne Paulo retu ɛkwan no de wɔn kɔɔ adwabɔeɛ.
Mji bhuoha bhwameli ligoga, ni bhanu bhakajumba pamonga mugati mu ukumbi bhwa michezo. Bhakabhakamila bhasafiri bhajhinu ni Paulo, Gayo ni Aristariko, bhabhahomili Makedonia.
30 Paulo pɛɛ sɛ anka ɔkɔ adwabɔeɛ hɔ kɔhyia dɔm no, nanso asuafoɔ no amma no kwan.
Paulo alondeghe kujhingila mu umati bhwa bhanu, lakini bhanafunzi bhakambesya.
31 Ɔmantam no mu mpanin no mu bi a na wɔyɛ Paulo nnamfo no soma kɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔnnkɔ adwabɔeɛ hɔ.
Kabhele, baadhi jha maafisa bha mkoa ghwa Asia ambabho bhajhele marafiki bha muene bhakandetela ujumbe kwa nghofo kunsoka asijhingili mu ukumbi bhwa michezo.
32 Nhyiamu yi yɛɛ basabasa; nnipa no mu bi teateaam kaa nsɛm bi, na ebinom nso teaam kaa nsɛm foforɔ bi, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔn mu dodoɔ no ara nnim asɛm ko a ɛde wɔn abɛhyia mu.
Baadhi jha bhanu bhakajha bhijobha khenu ekhe ni bhangi lijambo lela, kwa ndabha umati bhwa bhanu bhwachanganyikibhu bhingi bhabhwesilepi hata kumanya kwandayakiki bhahidi pamonga.
33 Yudafoɔ no piapiaa Aleksandro kɔgyinaa dɔm no anim sɛ ɔnkasa. Yei maa nnipa no bi susuu sɛ Aleksandro enti na wɔahyia hɔ. Afei, Aleksandro nyamaa dɔm no pɛɛ sɛ ɔkasa yi ɔno ne ne nkurɔfoɔ ano.
Bhayahudi bhakandeta Iskanda kwibhala jha umati bhwa bhanu ni kumbeka panani mbele jha bhanu. Iskanda akapisya ishara kwa kibhoko kya muene kupisya majhelesu kwa bhanu.
34 Ɛdɔm no hunuu sɛ Aleksandro yɛ Yudani no pɛ, wɔteateaam nnɔnhwere mmienu sɛ, “Efeso Artemi yɛ kɛse!”
Lakini bho bhamanyili kujha muene Myahudi, bhoha bhajhwegili kwa sauti jhimonga kwa muda ghwa masaa mabhele, “Diana ndo mbaha ghwa Bhaefeso.”
35 Kuro no sohwɛfoɔ no bɔɔ mmɔden maa dɔm no tɛm dinn. Afei, ɔkasa kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Efeso mmarima, obiara nim sɛ Efeso kuro yi na ɛhwɛ Artemi asɔrefie ne ohoni a ɛfiri soro bɛduruiɛ no so.
Baada jha karani ghwa mji kubhugudamisya umati, ajobhili, 'Muenga bhagosi bha Efeso, niani jha amanyilepi mji obho bhwa Efeso ndo ntunzaji ghwa hekalu lya Diana mbaha ni picha jhela jhajhaguili kuhomela kumbinguni?
36 Obiara rentumi nnye yei ho akyinnyeɛ enti monyɛ komm, monnyɛ basabasa biara.
Kulola kujha mambo agha ghibhwesekakalepi, twilondeka kujha ni utulivu na msibhombi kyokyoha kwa haraka.
37 Mode saa nnipa yi aba ha wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔnwiaa biribiara mfirii yɛn asɔrefie, nkaa asɛmmɔne biara ntiaa yɛn nyame no.
Kwandabha mubhakutili bhanu abha pa mahakama ambabho bhah'ejilepi bha hekalu wala sio bha kun'kufuru K'yara watete n'dala.
38 Sɛ Demetrio ne adwumfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no wɔ obi ho asɛm bi a, asɛnniiɛ ne mpanin wɔ hɔ, wɔmfa mmɛto dwa.
Henu, kama Demetrio ni mafundi bhabhajhe pamonga nabhu bhajhe ni mashtaka dhidi jha munu jhejhioha, mahakama sijhewazi ni maliwali bhajhele. Na bhaletibhwayi mbele jha shauri.
39 Nanso, sɛ mowɔ biribi foforɔ bi ka a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔmanfoɔ hyia, fa mmara kwan so ka ho asɛm.
Lakini kama bhebhe wilonda kyokyoha kuhusu mambo ghangi, ghibeta kushughulikibhwamu kikao halali.
40 Sɛ yɛanhwɛ yie a, wɔbɛka sɛ saa ɛnnɛ basabasayɛ yi firi yɛn. Saa basabasayɛ yi ho nhia. Sɛ wɔbisa yɛn ho asɛm a, yɛrennya anoyie biara.”
Kwa kweli tujhele mu hatari jha kutuhumibhwa kuhusu ghasia ligono ele. Ijhelepi sababu jha machafuko agha na kubetakujha ni uwezo bhwa kughajhelesya.
41 Ɔkasa wieeɛ no, ɔtuu dwa no.
Baada jha kujobha agha, abhatawenye makutano.
