1While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the interior and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples
1YA susede mientras estataba si Apolos guiya Corinto, si Pablo malofan gui managquilo na costa ya mato Efeso: ya mañoda palo disipulo sija güije.
2and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?” “No,” they answered, “we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
2Ya ilegña nu sija: Inresibe y Espiritu Santo desde qui manmanjonggue jamyo? Ya ilegñija: Taya nae injingog cao esta manae Espiritu Santo.
3“Into what, then, were you baptized?” Paul asked. “The baptism of John,” they replied.
3Ya ilegña nu sija: Jafa nae manmatagpangenmiyo? Ya sija ilegñija: Y tinagpangen Juan.
4Paul explained: “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”
4Ayonae ilegña si Pablo: Si Juan, magajet na managpapange ni y tinagpangen sinetsot, ya jasangane y taotao sija, na ujajonggue ayo y ufato despues di güiya, ayo y as Cristo Jesus.
5On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
5Ya anae jajungog sija este, manmatagpange ni y naan y Señot Jesus.
6And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
6Ya anae munjayan japlanta si Pablo y canaeña gui jiloñija, y Espiritu Santo mato gui jiloñija: ya manguentos ni y tifinoñija, ya manmanprofetisa.
7There were about twelve men in all.
7Ayo sija todos dose na taotao lalaje.
8Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.
8Ya jumalom si Pablo gui sinagoga, ya cumuentos libre tres meses; jasangan yan y animo gui raenon Yuus.
9But when some of them stubbornly refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way, Paul took his disciples and left the synagogue to conduct daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
9Lao anae palo manmajetog, ya ti manmalago manmanjonggue, ya manguecuentos taelaye pot ayo na Chalan gui menan y linajyan taotao, sumuja si Pablo guiya sija, ya janafañuja y disipulo sija, ya manadingan cada jaane gui escuelan Tiranno.
10This continued for two years, so that everyone who lived in the province of Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord.
10Ya dos años di mafatinas este: para todo ayo y mañasaga Asia ujajungog y sinangan y Señot Jesus, parejoja y Judio yan y Griego sija.
11God did extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul,
11Ya jafatinas si Yuus milagro pot y canae Pablo:
12so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and the diseases and evil spirits left them.
12Para guinin y tataotaoña nae umachule paño sija para y manmalango, ya y chetnot ufañuja guiya sija; yan y manaelaye na espiritu ufanjuyong guiya sija.
13Now there were some itinerant Jewish exorcists who tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits. They would say, “I bind you by Jesus, whom Paul proclaims.”
13Ya palo Judios na manaesagañija, taotao binanggelio, japrocura na jasangan nu ayo sija y manguaja taelaye na espiritu y naan y Señot Jesus, ilegñija: Innafanjula jao pot si Jesus, ni y japredidica si Pablo.
14Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
14Ya guaja siete na lalaje, famaguon un Judio ni naaña si Sceva, ya magas mamale, na jafatinas este sija.
15Eventually, one of the evil spirits answered them, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”
15Ya manope y taelaye na espiritu, ilegña: Si Jesus jutungo, yan si Pablo jutungo; lao jaye jamyo?
16Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. The attack was so violent that they ran out of the house naked and wounded.
16Ya y taotao ni y guaja taelaye na espiritu, tumayog gui jiloñija; ya jagana sija, sa mas gaeninasiñaña qui sija; ya esta manmalago sija güije na guma, manerido yan taya magaguñija.
17This became known to all the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, and fear came over all of them. So the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.
17Ya matungo este todo ni y Judios, yan y Griego sija yan ayo sija y mañasaga Efeso; ya podong y minaañao gui jiloñija todos, ya manadangculo y naan y Señot Jesus.
18Many who had believed now came forward, confessing and disclosing their deeds.
18Ya megae ni y manmanjonggue manmato, ya mangonfesat manmañangane ni y chechoñija.
19And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books and burned them in front of everyone. When the value of the books was calculated, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.
19Ya megae ni ayo sija locue y umuusa y magica jachule y leblonñija, ya jasonggue gui menan todo y taotao: ya matufong y balenñija, ya masoda na sincuenta mil na pidason salape,
20So the word of the Lord powerfully continued to spread and prevail.
20Ya taegüenao mumegagaeña y ninasiñan y sinangan Yuus.
21After these things had happened, Paul resolved in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia. “After I have been there,” he said, “I must see Rome as well.”
21Ya despues di este sija, jajaso si Pablo gui espirituña, anae malofan inanaco Masedonia yan Acaya na ujanao para Jerusalem, ilegña: Yaguin esta matoyo güije, nesesita yo na julie locue Roma.
22He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he stayed for a time in the province of Asia.
22Ya depues di jatago dos para Masedonia ni y sumesetbe güe, si Timoteo yan Erasto, güiya sumagaja Asia un rato.
23About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way.
23Ya ayo na tiempo guaja güije atboroto pot ayo na Chalan.
24It began with a silversmith named Demetrius who made silver shrines of Artemis, bringing much business to the craftsmen.
24Sa un platero na taotao na y naanña si Demetrio, ya mamatitinas attat salape para si Diana, ya ti didide na ganansia chinileleña para y manmamatitinas.
25Demetrius assembled the craftsmen, along with the workmen in related trades. “Men,” he said, “you know that this business is our source of prosperity.
25Ya janaetnon yan todo y manmachochocho ni y taegüije, ya ilegña: Señores, intingoja na este na chocho nae manmañoñodajit güinajata.
26And you can see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in nearly the whole province of Asia, Paul has persuaded a great number of people to turn away. He says that man-made gods are no gods at all.
26Ya inliija yan injingog, na ti ayoja iya Efeso, lao cana todo iya Asia nae megae na taotao jasuug si Pablo, yan jabira, sa ilegña na ti manyuus ayo sija y finatinas canae.
27There is danger not only that our business will fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited and her majesty deposed—she who is worshiped by all the province of Asia and the whole world.”
27Ya ti esteja nae uguaja peligro y chechota na unafanaebale lao asta y templon y dangculo na yuus si Diana umarechasa, ya y tinaquiloña umayulang, ni y todo iya Asia yan todo y tano umadodora.
28When the men heard this, they were enraged and began shouting, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
28Ya anae jajungog sija este na sinangan, ninafangosbubu, ya managang ilegñija: Dangculo y Dianan Efesios.
29Soon the whole city was in disarray. They rushed together into the theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia.
29Ya y siuda bula atboroto; ya mandaña unoja ya manjalom gui teatro ya macone si Gayo yan Aristarco, taotao Masedonia mangachong Pablo gui jinanaoña.
30Paul wanted to go before the assembly, but the disciples would not allow him.
30Ya malago si Pablo na ufalag y anae mangaegue y taotao sija; lao ti mapolo ni y disipulo.
31Even some of Paul’s friends who were officials of the province of Asia sent word to him, begging him not to venture into the theatre.
31Ya palo ni y manmagas Asia ni y manamiguña, manmanago na umasangane na chaña jumalom güe gui teatro.
32Meanwhile the assembly was in turmoil. Some were shouting one thing and some another, and most of them did not even know why they were there.
32Ya y palo, managang un inagang: ya y palo, otro inagang; sa manatborotao y dinana; ya megaeña ti tumungo jafa na mandaña sija.
33The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander forward to explain himself, and he motioned for silence so he could make his defense to the people.
33Ya macone si Alejandro gui entre y linajyan taotao, ya mapolo mona ni y Judios, ya mañeñas si Alejandro ni y canaeña na ufanmamatquilo, sa malago umadingane y taotao sija,
34But when they realized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
34Lao anae matungo na Judio güe, todos managang gui un inagang buente dos oras, ilegñija: Dangculo y Dianan Efesios.
35Finally the city clerk quieted the crowd and declared, “Men of Ephesus, doesn’t everyone know that the city of Ephesus is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?
35Ya anae y secretario y inetnon magalalaje munjayan janaquieto y taotao, ilegña nu sija: Jamyo ni y taotao Efeso, jafa na taotao ayo y ti jatungo na y siuda Efesios manmanadodora ni y dangculo na yuus Diana, yan y imagen ni y podong guinin y Jupiter?
36Since these things are undeniable, you ought to be calm and not do anything rash.
36Inlie na estesija ti siña macontra, nesesita na infanmamatquilo, ya chamiyo fumatitinas jafa.
37For you have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed our temple nor blasphemed our goddess.
37Sa jamyo cumone mague este sija na taotao, na ti mañaque gui guimayuus, ni ujachatfino contra y yuusmiyo.
38So if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open and proconsuls are available. Let them bring charges against one another there.
38Yaguin si Demetrio yan y palo ni y mangachongña guaja quejanñija contra y otro taotao: guaja tribunal y lay: ya guaja y jues; polo ya ufanafaaela uno y otro.
39But if you are seeking anything beyond this, it must be settled in a legal assembly.
39Lao yaguin inseda jamyo jafa pot otro sija, umafatinas gui inetnon y magalalaje taemanoja y lay.
40For we are in jeopardy of being charged with rioting for today’s events, and we have no justification to account for this commotion.”
40Sa mangaeguejit gui peligro, na utafanmafaesen pot este sija na atboroto, ya taya jafa siña urasonta pot este.
41After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
41Ya anae munjayan cumuentos, janajanao y dinaña.
