使徒行传 19
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1亚波罗 在 哥林多 的时候， 保罗 经过了上边一带地方，就来到 以弗所 ；在那里遇见几个门徒，
1While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the interior and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples
2问他们说：「你们信的时候受了圣灵没有？」他们回答说：「没有，也未曾听见有圣灵 赐下来 。」
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.”
3保罗 说：「这样，你们受的是什么洗呢？」他们说：「是 约翰 的洗。」
3“Into what, then, were you baptized?” Paul asked. “The baptism of John,” they replied.
4保罗 说：「 约翰 所行的是悔改的洗，告诉百姓当信那在他以后要来的，就是耶稣。」
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.”
5他们听见这话，就奉主耶稣的名受洗。
5On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
6保罗 按手在他们 头 上，圣灵便降在他们身上，他们就说方言，又说预言。
6And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
7一共约有十二个人。
7There were about twelve men in all.
8保罗 进会堂，放胆讲道，一连三个月，辩论 神国的事，劝化众人。
8Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.
9后来，有些人心里刚硬不信，在众人面前毁谤这道， 保罗 就离开他们，也叫门徒与他们分离，便在 推喇奴 的学房天天辩论。
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.
10这样有两年之久，叫一切住在 亚细亚 的，无论是 犹太 人，是 希腊 人，都听见主的道。
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.
11神借 保罗 的手行了些非常的奇事；
11God did extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul,
12甚至有人从 保罗 身上拿手巾或围裙放在病人身上，病就退了，恶鬼也出去了。
12so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and the diseases and evil spirits left them.
13那时，有几个游行各处、念咒赶鬼的 犹太 人，向那被恶鬼附的人擅自称主耶稣的名，说：「我奉 保罗 所传的耶稣敕令你们出来！」
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.”
14做这事的，有 犹太 祭司长 士基瓦 的七个儿子。
14Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
15恶鬼回答他们说：「耶稣我认识， 保罗 我也知道。你们却是谁呢？」
15Eventually, one of the evil spirits answered them, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?”
16恶鬼所附的人就跳在他们身上，胜了其中二人，制伏他们，叫他们赤着身子受了伤，从那房子里逃出去了。
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.
17凡住在 以弗所 的，无论是 犹太 人，是 希腊 人，都知道这事，也都惧怕；主耶稣的名从此就尊大了。
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.
18那已经信的，多有人来承认诉说自己所行的事。
18Many who had believed now came forward, confessing and disclosing their deeds.
19平素行邪术的，也有许多人把书拿来，堆积在众人面前焚烧。他们算计书价，便知道共合五万块钱。
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.
20主的道大大兴旺，而且得胜，就是这样。
20So the word of the Lord powerfully continued to spread and prevail.
21这些事完了， 保罗 心里定意经过了 马其顿 、 亚该亚 ，就往 耶路撒冷 去；又说：「我到了那里以后，也必须往 罗马 去看看。」
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.”
22于是从帮助他的人中打发 提摩太 、 以拉都 二人往 马其顿 去，自己暂时等在 亚细亚 。
22He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he stayed for a time in the province of Asia.
23那时，因为这道起的扰乱不小。
23About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way.
24有一个银匠，名叫 底米丢 ，是制造 亚底米 神银龛的，他使这样手艺人生意发达。
24It began with a silversmith named Demetrius who made silver shrines of Artemis, bringing much business to the craftsmen.
25他聚集他们和同行的工人，说：「众位，你们知道我们是倚靠这生意发财。
25Demetrius assembled the craftsmen, along with the workmen in related trades. “Men,” he said, “you know that this business is our source of prosperity.
26这 保罗 不但在 以弗所 ，也几乎在 亚细亚 全地，引诱迷惑许多人，说：『人手所做的，不是神。』这是你们所看见所听见的。
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.
27这样，不独我们这事业被人藐视，就是大女神 亚底米 的庙也要被人轻忽，连 亚细亚 全地和普天下所敬拜的大女神之威荣也要消灭了。」
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.”
28众人听见，就怒气填胸，喊着说：「大哉， 以弗所 人的 亚底米 啊！」
28When the men heard this, they were enraged and began shouting, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
29满城都轰动起来。众人拿住与 保罗 同行的 马其顿 人 该犹 和 亚里达古 ，齐心拥进戏园里去。
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.
30保罗 想要进去，到百姓那里，门徒却不许他去。
30Paul wanted to go before the assembly, but the disciples would not allow him.
31还有 亚细亚 几位首领，是 保罗 的朋友，打发人来劝他，不要冒险到戏园里去。
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.
32聚集的人纷纷乱乱，有喊叫这个的，有喊叫那个的；大半不知道是为什么聚集。
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.
33有人把 亚历山大 从众人中带出来， 犹太 人推他往前， 亚历山大 就摆手，要向百姓分诉；
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.
34只因他们认出他是 犹太 人，就大家同声喊着说：「大哉！ 以弗所 人的 亚底米 啊。」如此约有两小时。
34But when they realized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
35那城里的书记安抚了众人，就说：「 以弗所 人哪，谁不知道 以弗所 人的城是看守大 亚底米 的庙和从 宙斯 那里落下来的 像 呢？
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?
36这事既是驳不倒的，你们就当安静，不可造次。
36Since these things are undeniable, you ought to be calm and not do anything rash.
37你们把这些人带来，他们并没有偷窃庙中之物，也没有谤 我们的女神。
37For you have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed our temple nor blasphemed our goddess.
38若是 底米丢 和他同行的人有控告人的事，自有放告的日子，也有方伯可以彼此对告。
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.
39你们若问别的事，就可以照常例聚集断定。
39But if you are seeking anything beyond this, it must be settled in a legal assembly.
40今日的扰乱本是无缘无故，我们难免被查问。论到这样聚众，我们也说不出所以然来。」
40For we are in jeopardy of being charged with rioting for today’s events, and we have no justification to account for this commotion.”
41说了这话，便叫众人散去。
41After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
