1Apollo Korin vangpui ah oh naah, Pawl loe aluek bang prae hoiah Efisa vangpui ah angzoh: toah thoemto hnukbang kaminawk to a hnuk,
1And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
2to naah nihcae khaeah, Na tang o pacoengah Kacai Muithla na hnuk o boeh maw? tiah a dueng; to naah nihcae mah, Kacai Muithla oh, tito ka thaih o vai ai, tiah pathim pae o.
2And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.
3Anih mah nihcae khaeah, to tih nahaeloe kawbaktih tuinuemhaih maw na hnuk o? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Johan tuinuemhaih, tiah a naa o.
3And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John’s baptism.
4Pawl mah, Johan tuinuemhaih loe dawnpakhuem tuinuemhaih ni, anih mah loe angmah hnukah angzo han koi kami to ni tang o hanah kaminawk khaeah thuih pae, to angzo han koi kami loe Jesu Kri thuih koehhaih ih ni, tiah a naa.
4Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.
5Nihcae mah to lok to thaih o naah, Jesu Kri ih ahmin hoiah tuinuem o.
5Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6Pawl mah nihcae nuiah ban koeng pae naah, nihcae nuiah Kacai Muithla to angzoh; to naah nihcae mah kalah loknawk to apaeh o moe, lok to taphong o.
6And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
7Nihcae loe sungqum boih ah kami hatlai hnetto oh o.
7And all the men were about twelve.
8Pawl loe sineko thungah caeh moe, khrah thumto thung misahoihaih hoiah lokthuih, kaminawk Sithaw ukhaih prae ah paqoi thai hanah lok a thuih pae.
8And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.
9Toe thoemto kaminawk loe palung thah o parai moe, a thuih ih lok to tang pae o ai, hae baktih Sithaw bokhaih loklam loe hoih ai, tiah kaminawk khaeah thuih pae o pongah, Pawl mah nihcae to caehtaak ving, hnukbang kaminawk hoi ampraek o pacoengah, Tyrana ca amtukhaih im ah nithokkruek ca to patuk.
9But when some were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord, before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
10To tiah saning hnetto thung tok a sak, to pongah Asia prae ah kaom Judahnawk hoi Griknawk boih mah Angraeng Jesu ih lok to thaih o.
10And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.
11Sithaw mah Pawl patohhaih rang hoiah dawnrai hmuennawk to sak:
11And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.
12Pawl mah patoh ih pavawh hoi kaeng ah angzaeng ih kahni mataeng doeh ngantui ai kaminawk khaeah sinh pae o naah, to pavawh sui kaminawk boih ngantui o moe, kasae muithlanawk doeh nihcae thung hoiah tacawt o.
12So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the wicked spirits went out of them.
13To naah taqawk haek thaih, Judahnawk mah, Angraeng Jesu ih ahmin hoiah kasae muithlanawk to haek hanah taqawk mah naeh ih kaminawk khaeah caeh o moe, Kami takoh thung hoi tacawt hanah Pawl mah taphong ih Angraeng Jesu ih ahmin hoiah lok kang paek, tiah a naa o.
13Now some also of the Jewish exorcists who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.
14Kalen koek qaima, Judah kami, Sceva ih capa taruktonawk mah to tiah sak o.
14And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.
15Kasae muithla mah, Jesu loe ka panoek, Pawl doeh ka panoek; toe nangcae loe mi aa? tiah a naa.
15But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?
16To naah kasae muithla tawn kami mah nihcae to hmang, nihcae to apanh moe, pazawk; nihcae loe ahmaa cak o moe, to im hoiah bangkrai ah cawnh o ving.
16And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them, and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17To hmuen kawng to Efisa vangpui ah kaom Judahnawk hoi Griknawk mah thaih o naah, nihcae loe zit o moe, Angraeng Jesu ih ahmin to pakoeh o.
17And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18Pop parai tang caanawk angzoh o moe, a sak o ih hmuen kawng to taphong o.
18And many of them that believed, came confessing and declaring their deeds.
19Miklet kop kaminawk loe angmacae ih cabunawk to sinh o cuu moe, kaminawk hma ah hmai hoiah qoeng o: to cabu atho to nihcae mah pakoep o naah, sum phoisa sing pangato phak.
19And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20To tiah Sithaw lok to qoeng moe, pung tahang.
20So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.
21To tiah hmuennawk oh pacoengah, Pawl loe Macedonia prae hoiah Akaia prae ah caeh poe moe, Jerusalem ah ka caeh pacoengah, Rom vangpui ah ka caeh han, tiah poekhaih a tawnh.
21And when 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 see Rome also.
22Anih bomkung, Timote hoi Erasta to Macedonia prae ah patoeh, angmah loe Asia prae ah nawnetta thung cam vop.
22And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.
23To nathuem ah bokhaih bang hoi kasaeng paroeai lokpunghaih to oh.
23Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.
24Demetria, tiah ahmin kaom sum daeng kami maeto loe, Diana bokhaih im to sak pongah phoisa paroeai a hnuk;
24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;
25anih loe toksah ampuinawk hoi taqawk bokhaih im sah kaminawk to kawk moe, Ampuinawk, aicae loe hae tok a sak o haih hoiah paroeai amekhaih a hnuk o, tito na panoek o.
25Whom he calling together, with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade;
26Hae kami Pawl mah Efisa vangpui khue ai, Asia prae boih ah kami ban hoiah sak ih sithaw loe Sithaw tangtang na ai ni, tiah paroeai kaminawk to pacuek moe, loklam amkhraengsak boih boeh, tito na hnuk o moe, na thaih o boeh:
26And you see and hear, that this Paul by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: They are not gods which are made by hands.
27to pongah kaminawk mah aicae ih tok hae kasae thui o tih, tiah doeh sah o mak ai boeh; lensawk Diana sithaw amno ih tempul doeh kaminawk mah khen o pasae ueloe, phrae o tih boeh; Asia prae boih hoi long pum mah bok o ih sithaw amno hoi sithaw lensawkhaih doeh anghmaa tih boeh, tiah a naa.
27So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing; yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
28To lok to nihcae mah thaih o naah, nihcae palungphui o moe, Efisa vangpui ih Diana hae len koek, tiah hang o.
28Having heard these things, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
29Vangpui loe lok angaekhaih hoiah koi: poek amhonghaih hoiah hnawhhaih imthung ah nawnto caeh o moe, Pawl hoi nawnto kholong kacaeh, Macedonia kami ah kaom, Kaia hoi Aristarka to naeh o.
29And the whole city was filled with confusion; and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
30Pawl loe kaminawk salakah akun han koeh, toe hnukbang kaminawk mah pakaa pae o.
30And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
31Asia prae thungah kaom Pawl ih ampuinawk, thoemto angraengnawk mah doeh hnawhhaih imthung ah caeh han ai ah lokpat pae o.
31And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre.
32Toah kaom kaminawk loe poek anghmang o sut moe, maeto hoi maeto mah thuih ih lok lah boih pongah, paroeai kaminawk loe tipongah maw hae ah nawnto amkhueng o, tito panoek o ai.
32Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together.
33Alexander to pop parai kaminawk salak hoiah a zaeh o, Judahnawk mah anih to hmabang ah tanawt o. Alexander mah rangpuinawk khaeah lokthuih koeh pongah, ban hoi angmathaih to paek.
33And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction.
34Toe nihcae mah anih loe Judah kami ni, tiah panoek o naah loe, kaminawk boih mah lok maeto hoiah, Efisa kaminawk ih Diana hae len koek, tiah atue hnetto thung hang o.
34But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
35Avang thung ih ca tarik kami mah rangpui kaminawk to kamongah ohsak pacoeng ah, nangcae Efisa kaminawk, Efisa vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk loe Jupiter hoi kakrah tathuk kalen sawk Diana sithaw ih krang bok kami ah na oh o, tito panoek ai kami om tih maw?
35And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of Jupiter’s offspring.
36Hae lok hae mi mah doeh aek thai mak ai, to pongah kawbaktih hmuen doeh tha patohhaih hoi sah ai ah, na oh o duem han oh, tiah a naa.
36For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
37Hae kami hnik loe tempul ih hmuen paqu kami na ai ni, nangcae ih sithaw amno doeh kasae thui hoi ai to mah, haeah nang hoih o.
37For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.
38Demetria hoi sum daeng angmah ih ampuinawk mah kaminawk nuiah palungphuihaih tawn o nahaeloe, lokcaekhaih ahmuen to oh: lokcaekkung doeh oh, toah maeto hoi maeto mikhmai kangtong ah lok a thuih o han oh.
38But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
39To pacoengah kalah hmuen kawng lokdueng han na koeh o nahaeloe, daan baktiah sak ih amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah lok to dueng han oh.
39And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.
40Aicae pongah maw vaihniah kaom lokpunghaih hae oh moeng, tiah kho a poek o han oh, hae tiah rangpui angcuuhaih ahmuen ah thuih han koi lokpui parai maeto doeh om ai, tiah a naa.
40For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse. And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
41Anih mah to tiah lokthuih pacoengah, rangpui angcuuhaih to a boengsak.
