1Apollos te Kawrin ah a om vaengah cingtoe kholi te Paul loh a hil tih Ephisa la a suntlak vaengah hnukbang rhoek hlangvang te a hmuh.
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.
2Te dongah amih te, “Aka tangnah rhoek loh Mueihla Cim na dang uh a?” a ti nah. Tedae amih long te, “Mueihla Cim a om te ka yaak uh moenih,” a ti nah.
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.
3Te dongah, “Ba nen lae na nuem uh tah,” a ti nah vaengah, “Johan kah baptisma dongah,” a ti uh.
3And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John’s baptism.
4Te dongah Paul loh, “Johan loh yutnah baptisma dongah a nuem tih anih hnukkah aka lo te tangnah, 'ham pilnam taengah a thui te khaw Jesuh ah ni a om,” a ti nah.
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.
5A yaak uh vaengah Boeipa Jesuh ming neh a nuem uh.
5Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6Te dongah Paul loh amih te kut a tloeng thil tih Mueihla Cim loh a suntlak thil. Te vaengah ol khaw a thui uh tih a phong uh.
6And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
7Te vaengah a pum boeih la hlang hlainit tluk om uh.
7And all the men were about twelve.
8Tunim ah kun tih sayalh la a thui. Pathen ram kawng te hla thum hlai a thuingong tih a hloih.
8And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.
9Tedae hlangvang loh ning uh tih a aek uh dongah longpuei te rhaengpuei hmaiah a thet uh. Te dongah Amih taeng lamloh nong tih hnukbang rhoek a khuen phoeiah, Turannu saengim ah hnin takuem a thuingong.
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.
10Tedae kum nit hlai a om tangloeng tih Asia kah khosa Judah rhoek neh Greek rhoek boeih loh Boeipa kah olka he a yaak.
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.
11A dang noek pawh thaomnah pataeng khaw Pathen loh Paul kut dongah a tueng sak.
11And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.
12Te dongah a pum dongkah himbaica khaw, hamnak khaw a khuen tih aka tlo te a tloeng thil. Te vaengah amih lamkah tlohtat te a voeih pah tih mueihla thae khaw a coe sak.
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.
13Te vaengah rhaihaek Judah la aka dongpoeng hlangvang long khaw rhai thae aka kaem rhoek te Boeipa Jesuh ming phoei thil ham cai uh tih, “Jesuh rhangneh nangmih taengah ol ka hlo te te Paul loh a hoe,” a ti uh.
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.
14Te vaengah Judah khosoihham pakhat kah Skeva ca rhoek parhih aka om long khaw te tlam te a saii.
14And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.
15Tedae amih te mueihla thae loh a doo tih, “Jesuh khaw ka ming tih Paul ka hmat. Tedae nangmih tah u rhoek nim?,” a ti nah.
15But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?
16Te phoeiah a khuiah mueihla thae aka om hlang loh amih te boeih a cungpet thil tih a vueinan thai. Te dongah tekah im te a poeng a hal hlanah a tling a yal neh hmalaem uh coeng.
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.
17Te te Ephisa kah kho aka sa Judah rhoek neh Greek rhoek taengah khaw boeih mingpha la om coeng. Te dongah rhihnah loh amih te boeih a tlak thil tih Boeipa Jesuh ming te a oep uh.
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.
18Aka tangnah rhoek loh a khoboe phong ham neh phoe hamla muep ha pawk uh.
18And many of them that believed, came confessing and declaring their deeds.
19Miklet neh a soep la kho aka boe rhoek kah cabu aka rhoei rhoek te khaw hlang boeih hmaiah a hoeh uh. Te dongah a phu te n'dueh koinih tangka thawng sawmnga khaw a hmuh ni.
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.
20Te dongah BOEIPA kah olka loh thaomnah neh rhoeng tih khangmai.
20So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.
21Tedae te te a coeng vaengah Makedonia neh Akhaia te paan tih Jerusalem la caeh ham Paul loh Mueihla ah ko a tam. Te dongah, “Ka pha to phoeiah Rom hip ham ka ngaih,” a ti.
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.
22Amah aka bongyong rhoi ham Timothy neh Erastu te Makedonia la a tueih. Amah tah Asia ah a tue a laehdawn pueng.
22And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.
23Te vaeng tue kah a long a im dongah puenpa aka om te a yool mai moenih.
23Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.
24Te vaengah cakben pakhat, a ming ah Demetrius loh, Artemis kah cakben bawkim a saii tih kutthai neh a coeng sak bibi khaw a yool mai moenih.
24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;
25Te kawng dongah khaw bibikung rhoek te a tingtun sak tih, “'Hlang rhoek aw, tahae kah bibi he mamih ham khuehtawn la om, 'tite na hmat uh.
25Whom he calling together, with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade;
26Ephisa bueng ah pawt tih Asia pum banghui ah Paul loh a yoek tih hlangping muep a maelh te khaw na hmuh uh tih na yaak uh coeng. Kut neh a saii boeih he pathen moenih,” a ti.
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.
27Te bueng pawt tih mingthae la pawk koinih mamih ham a cungvang khaw khopo coeng . Artemis rhainu puei kah bawkim khaw nawtnaa mueh la a lennah khaw yawk pawn ni. Anih te Asia pum neh lunglai loh a bawk,” a ti nah.
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.
28A yaak uh vaengah thinsanah neh a hah la aka om rhoek tah tamhoe uh tih, “Ephesa kah Artemis tah len pai,” a ti uh.
28Having heard these things, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
29Te vaengah khopuei tah puencaknah baetawt. Te dongah lamcawntol la huk cu uh tih Kaiyu neh Paul kah a hui Makedonia hoel Aristarkhu te a paco uh.
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.
30Paul te rhaengpuei taengah kun ham khaw a ngaih dae anih te hnukbang rhoek loh hlah uh pawh.
30And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
31A paya la aka om Asia boei hlangvang loh amah te a tah tih lamcawntol ah pum paek pawt ham a hloep uh.
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.
32Te vaengah pakhat pakhat ah pang paluep uh. Hlangboel loh huk huk om uh ngawn dae a yet ngai loh ba dongah a khoong uh khaw ming uh pawh.
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.
33Judah rhoek loh hlangping khuikah Alexander te a uen uh tih a mop uh. Alexander long khaw kut a cavoih tih rhaengpuei taengah amah te huul uh ham a ngaih.
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.
34Tedae anih te Judah hoel ni tila a hmat uh. Te dongah khonoek panit tluk tah ol pakhat la boeih a khueh uh tih, “Ephesa kah Artemis ni aka khuet koek,” tila pang uh.
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.
35Tedae hlangping te cadaek pakhat loh a sim tih, “Ephesa hlang rhoek aw, Ephesa he Jupiter lamkah aka rhul Artemis boeinu kah imkhoem khopuei la a om te ulae aka ming pawt hlang aka om.
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.
36Te dongah hekah he oelh tloel la om coeng . Nangmih duem om ham neh marhumarhat la saii pawt ham ni a kuek.
36For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
37Nang khuen uh hlang rhoek he bawkim aka reth aih moenih, mamih kah pathen aka soehsal bal moenih.
37For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.
38Te dongah Demetrius neh anih taengkah kutthai rhoek loh pakhat pakhat te olka a khueh thil oeh atah khoboei aka om rhoek taengah dumlo lailo te khuen uh saeh lamtah khat neh khat tingtoeh uh saeh.
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.
39Tedae khat khat ni na kuek uh thil atah hlangboel kah a rhimong neh thuicaih pah saeh.
39And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.
40Tihnin kah olpungnah kongah a lolh a om moenih. Te dongah tingtoeh uh ham tah khopo coeng. Tekah kawng neh lairhui dongkah olka he thuung thai sih ti moenih,” a ti nah.
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.
41Te tlam te a thui pah daengah ni hlangboel te khaw a paa pueng.
