¹And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

¹ A go mo, waato kaŋ Abolos go Korint, Bulos bisa beene haray laabo ra ka kaa Afasos kwaara. A di talibi fooyaŋ noodin.

²He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

² A ne i se: «Waato kaŋ araŋ cimandi, araŋ du Biya Hanno, wala?» I ne a se: «Hã'a. Iri ya mana baa maa hala Biya Hanno go no.»

³And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

³ A ne: «Baptisma woofo no araŋ du?» I ne: «Yohanna baptisma no iri du.»

⁴Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

⁴ Bulos mo ne: «Yohanna na baptisma te da tuubiyaŋ baptisma ka ne borey se i ma nga kaŋ goono ga kaa Yohanna banda cimandi, danga Yesu nooya.»

⁵When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

⁵ Waato kaŋ i maa woodin, i te i se baptisma Rabbi Yesu maa ra.

⁶And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

⁶ Waato kaŋ Bulos na nga kambey dake i boŋ, Biya Hanna zumbu i boŋ. I sintin ka salaŋ da ciine waani-waani yaŋ ka annabitaray te.

⁷And all the men were about twelve.

⁷ Ikulu me-da-me si kala ngey alboro way cindi hinka.

⁸And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.

⁸ Bulos furo Yahudance diina marga* fuwo ra ka salaŋ handu hinza cine da bine-gaabi. A na sabaabey kaa taray, ka borey candi ka kand'ey Irikoy koytara do haray.

⁹But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

⁹ Amma waato kaŋ boro fooyaŋ na hanga sanday te, i wangu ka gana mo, i na sanni futuyaŋ te fondo woodin boŋ borey marga kulu jine. Bulos mo fun i do ka talibey fay ka ye waani. Zaari kulu mo a ga kakaw Tiranos cawyaŋ fuwo ra.

¹⁰And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

¹⁰ Woodin mo te sanda jiiri hinka hala Aziya gorokoy kulu du ka maa Rabbi sanno, Yahudancey da Garekey kulu.

¹¹And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

¹¹ Irikoy mo na dabari goy waani yaŋ te Bulos kambe ra,

¹²So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

¹² hal i goono ga sungay tuusuyaŋ calley da cancandiyaŋ ta Bulos do ka kond'ey doorikomey do. Doori waani-waani yaŋ mo fun borey gaa, follay tamey mo follayey dira.

¹³Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

¹³ Amma Yahudance fooyaŋ kaŋ yaŋ goono ga windi-windi laabo ra, kaŋ tibbonceyaŋ no, si ka Rabbi Yesu maa ce borey kaŋ gonda follayyaŋ boŋ. I goono ga ne: «Ay g'araŋ lordi da Yesu kaŋ Bulos goono g'a baaro waazu.»

¹⁴And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

¹⁴ Boro iyye go no, boro folloŋ izeyaŋ no, kaŋ maa Sikewa, Yahudance alfaga beeri fo no. Ngey no goono ga woodin te.

¹⁵And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

¹⁵ Kala folla tu i se ka ne: «Ay ga Yesu bay, ay ga Bulos mo bay, amma araŋ ya may yaŋ no?»

¹⁶And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

¹⁶ Bora kaŋ banda folla bara din kaŋ i ra k'i zeeri. A te i boŋ zaama, kal i zuru ka fun fuwo din ra gaa-koonu. I maray mo.

¹⁷And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

¹⁷ Woodin mo, Afasos gorokoy kulu bay a gaa, Yahudancey ka guna Garekey kulu. Humburkumay na ikulu di, Rabbi Yesu maa mo goono ga du beeray.

¹⁸And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.

¹⁸ Boro boobo kaŋ cimandi goono ga kaa ka ngey zunubey ci, ka ngey goyey mo cabe.

¹⁹Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

¹⁹ Moodabal teekoy ra boro fooyaŋ mo, kaŋ manti jama kayna bo na ngey tirey margu. I goono g'i ton borey kulu jine. I na tirey noorey lasaabu. A to nzarfu noor'ize zambar waygu.

²⁰So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

²⁰ Yaadin no Rabbi sanno goono ga tonton da gaabi gumo ka te sahã.

²¹After 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 also see Rome.

²¹ Hayey din teeyaŋ banda, Bulos na nga bina daŋ Urusalima koyyaŋ gaa, d'a na Masidoniya da Akaya mo gana. A ne i se: «D'ay koy Urusalima, tilas kala ya bisa ka koy di Roma mo.»

²²So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.

²² A na boro hinka donton nga saajawkoy ra, i ma koy Masidoniya, ngey Timotiyos da Arastos, amma nga bumbo goro kayna fo noodin Aziya laabo ra.

²³And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.

²³ Alwaato din ra no kusuuma fo tun kaŋ manti ikayna no, Yesu fonda ciine ra.

²⁴For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;

²⁴ Zama boro fo go no kaŋ maa Dimitriyos, nzarfu zam no. A ga Artemis* fuwo alhaalo te da nzarfu, kaŋ kande zamey se daymi boobo.

²⁵Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

²⁵ Day, a n'i margu, da ceeci woodin fonda goy-teerey. A ne: «Ya alborey, araŋ ga bay kaŋ ceeci woone do no iri goono ga du iri arzaka.

²⁶Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:

²⁶ Araŋ goono ga di, araŋ goono ga maa mo, kaŋ manti Afasos ra hinne no, amma Aziya baayaŋo kulu ra, Bulos wo na boro boobo candi k'i bare. A goono ga ne woone yaŋ kaŋ kambey goono ga te manti irikoyyaŋ no.

²⁷So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

²⁷ Manti mo zama iri ceeco go kataru ra a ma ciya dondayaŋ hari hinne bo, amma hala baa Artemis fuwo, tooru wayboro beero, i g'a ye yaamo mo. I g'a beera zeeri mo, nga kaŋ Aziya nda ndunnya kulu goono ga sududu a se.»

²⁸And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

²⁸ Waato kaŋ i maa woodin binde, i biney tun. I sintin ka kuuwa ka ne: «Artemis, Afasos wano, ya ibeeri no!»

²⁹And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.

²⁹ Kwaara kulu to mo da kururuwa. I kulu te me folloŋ mo ka tun da zuray ka koy marga batama do. I goono ga Gayos da Aristarkos candi ka kond'ey, kaŋ yaŋ ti Masidoniya boroyaŋ, kaŋ ngey da Bulosyaŋ ga dira care banda.

³⁰And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.

³⁰ Waato kaŋ Bulos ga ba nga ma furo borey do, talibey wangu a se.

³¹And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.

³¹ Kwaara jine boro fooyaŋ mo, kaŋ yaŋ ti a corey, donton a gaa k'a ŋwaaray ka ne a ma si koy marga batama do.

³²Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.

³² Boro fooyaŋ binde kuuwa ka hay fo ci, boro fooyaŋ mo goono ga hay fo waani ci. Zama jama boŋ haw, i baayaŋo mo mana bay haŋ kaŋ se no i margu.

³³And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.

³³ Jama ra boro fooyaŋ na Iskandari fahamandi _da haŋ kaŋ goono ga te|_. Yahudancey mo n'a tuti ka daŋ jama jine. Iskandari mo na nga kamba sambu, zama a ga ba nga ma salaŋ borey se k'i kaa kambe.

³⁴But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

³⁴ Amma waato kaŋ i di kaŋ Yahudance no, borey kulu soobay ka wurru me fo kal a to sanda guuru hinka cine ka ne: «Artemis, Afasos wano, ya ibeeri no!»

³⁵And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?

³⁵ Waato kaŋ kwaara hantumkwa na jama laakal kanandi, gaa no a ne i se: «Ya Afasos borey, may no si bay kaŋ Afasos kwaara ga ti Artemis beero windo batukwa, d'a himando mo kaŋ fun beene ka kaŋ?

³⁶Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

³⁶ Za kaŋ i si du ka woodin yaŋ ze, a ga hima woodin se araŋ laakaley ma kani, araŋ ma si hay fo te da cahãyaŋ.

³⁷For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.

³⁷ Zama araŋ kanda borey wo, a go mo, i manti tooru fuwo zayyaŋ no, wala mo i manti iri wayboro tooro kaynakoyaŋ.

³⁸Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.

³⁸ Da day Dimitriyos da zamey kaŋ go a banda gonda sanni fo ngey da boro kulu kaŋ no game ra, ciiti fuyaŋ go no feerante, ciitikoyaŋ mo go no. Wa naŋ i ma kande care kalima noodin.

³⁹But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.

³⁹ Amma d'araŋ gonda sanni fo kaŋ boŋ araŋ ga ba araŋ ma salaŋ, i ga woodin sasabandi ciiti faada ra.

⁴⁰For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.

⁴⁰ Zama haciika hunkuna iri go kataru ra, d'i n'iri kalima kusuuma wo se, kaŋ sinda kobay. A boŋ mo iri si hin ka marga sabaabo cabe.» Waato kaŋ a na woodin ci, a na marga sallama.

⁴¹And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
