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

¹Zhi kai o Apollos sas ande Corinth, o Pavlo kana nakhlo anda sa le gava kai si ande Asia, areslo ando Ephesus, ai kotse arakhlia uni disiplon.

²and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they [said] unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was [given].

²Ai phendia lenge, "Lian anda tumende O Swunto Duxo kana pachan tume?" Won phende leske, "Ame chi ashundiam ke si ek Swunto Duxo."

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

³Ai phendia lenge, "Anda savo bolimos tume sanas bolde?" Ai won phende leske, "Ando bolimos le Iovanosko."

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

⁴Antunchi o Pavlo phendia, "O Iovano boldia kodolen kai mangenas te parhuven pengo traio, ai motholas le Zhidovonge te pachanpe ande kodo kai avela pala leste, kodo si O Kristo.

⁵And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

⁵Pe kodola vorbi, bolde sas ando anav le Devlesko O Jesus.

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

⁶Kana o Pavlo thodia le vas pe lende, O Swunto Duxo avilo pe lende, ai denas duma andal kolaver shiba, ai mothonas so si te avel.

⁷And they were in all about twelve men.

⁷Won sas sa andek than desh u dui manush.

⁸And he entered into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, reasoning and persuading [as to] the things concerning the kingdom of God.

⁸Porme o Pavlo gelo ande synagogue, ai kotse dia duma bi darako trin shon, ai delas duma pal dieli le rhaioske kai si le Devlesko.

⁹But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

⁹Numa uni lengo ilo zuralo sas, ai chi pachanaspe, ai mothonas chorhe dieli pa drom le Devlesko angla narodo. Antunchi o Pavlo gelotar lendar, ai lia le manushen kai pachanaspe ando Del pesa; ai sicharelas len pa Del swako dies andek shkola ieke manusheske kai busholas Tirannas.

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

¹⁰Kodia buchi gelia dui bersh, ai sa kodola kai beshenas ande Asia, Zhiduvuria ai Grekuria ashunde E Vorba le Devleski.

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

¹¹Ai O Del kerelas bare mirakluria le Pavlosa.

¹²insomuch that unto the sick were carried away from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the evil spirits went out.

¹²Kadia kai thonas pe naswale gada vai dikhlorhe kai azbade sas le Pavlos, ai le naswale sastionas, ai le manush kai sas o beng lende zhalastar.

¹³But certain also of the strolling Jews, exorcists, took upon them to name over them that had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

¹³Sas uni Zhiduvuria kai zhanas andek than ando foro forestar te gonin le bengen andal naswale, zumavenas ando anav le Devlesko Jesus te keren le te anklen avri, phende le bengenge, "Dav tume ordina ando anav le Jesusosko, anklen avri, kado Jesus kai o Pavlo mothol pe leste."

¹⁴And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, who did this.

¹⁴Ieke bare rasha kai sas Zhidovo, busholas Sceva, sas les efta shave, kodola shave kerenas kadia.

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

¹⁵Numa o beng mothol lenge, "Zhanav kon si O Jesus, ai zhanav kon si o Pavlo, numa tume kon san?"

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

¹⁶Ai kado manush kai sas o beng ande leste xoko pe lende, ai sas les putiera pe lende, ai mardia le. Kadia de zurales kai nashle anda kodo kher sa nange ai dukhade.

¹⁷And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

¹⁷Kodola diela zhanenas sa le Zhiduvuria sa le Grekuria kai beshenas ando Ephesus, ai daraile savorhe, ai o anav le Devlesko Jesus sas bariardia.

¹⁸Many also of them that had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.

¹⁸But shave le Devleske avenas te mothonas angla narodo so kerde.

¹⁹And not a few of them that practised magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

¹⁹But anda kodola kai kerenas drabarimos, andine penge klishki, ai phabarenas le angla sa o narodo. Ai line sama le love kai monas kadala klishki, ai arakhle ke sas pe panvardesh mi teliara rupune.

²⁰So mightily grew the word of the Lord and prevailed.

²⁰Ai E Vorba le Devleski zhalas katar godi ande putiera ai ande zor.

²¹Now after 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.

²¹Akana kai kodola dieli nakhle, o Pavlo manglia te zhal ande Jerusalem. Ai manglia te nakhel pai Macedonia ai pai Greece, "Ai kana avava kotse," phendia, "Trobul te dikhav Rome."

²²And having sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

²²Tradia antunchi ande Macedonia dui anda peske zhutitoria, o Timote ai o Erastus; ai wo mai beshlo xantsi vriama ande Asia.

²³And about that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way.

²³Ande kodia vriama kerdilia but bunto pala zakono le Devlesko.

²⁴For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto the craftsmen;

²⁴Iek manush kai sas zhintari, wo busholas Demetrius, wo kerelas ikoni rupeske pala Diana, ai le manush kai kerenas leski buchi nirinas but love.

²⁵whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this business we have our wealth.

²⁵Ai chidia sa kodolen kai kerenas kodalatar buchi, ai phendia lenge, "Manushale, te sam barvale, barvale sam pala e buchi kai si ame.

²⁶And 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 are no gods, that are made with hands:

²⁶Ai dikhen ai ashunen, ke na ferdi ando Ephesus, numa pashte ande sa Asia, kado kai bushol Pavlo phendia le manushenge ai sikadia lenge ke le dela kai si kerde andal vas le manushenge nai dela.

²⁷and not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

²⁷Kadia diela chi rimol ferdi amari buchi, numa vi e bari del Diana te xasarel sa pesko barimos ande tampla, ai antunchi chi mai avela la lako barimos, ai kadia ikona kai rhuginpe late o narodo kai si ande Asia ai sa le lumia!"

²⁸And when they heard this they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesus.

²⁸Kana ashunde kodola vorbi, savorhe xolaile, ai tsipinas. Phenenas, "Bari si e ikona Diana le Ephesusonge."

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

²⁹Sa o foro buntisailosas, ai line pesa o Gaius ai o Aristarchus, dui andal Macedonia, kai sas le vortacha le Pauloske kai zhanas lesa, ai gele savorhe andek bari soba.

³⁰And when Paul was minded to enter in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.

³⁰O Pavlo mangelas vi wo te zhal angla narodo, numa le shave le Devleske chi mekenas les.

³¹And certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent unto him and besought him not to adventure himself into the theatre.

³¹Uni andel bare kai poronchinas pe uni gava ande Asia, kai sas leske vortacha, trade leske lil te mangenpe lestar te na zhal ande kodo kher.

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

³²Uni mothonas kadia, uni aver fialo ke buntuimos kerdiliasas; ai but anda narodo chi zhanenas sostar chidinisaile sas andek than.

³³And they brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made a defense unto the people.

³³Uni manush anda narodo line o Alexander ai thode les angla narodo. O Alexander antunchi kerdia iek semno anda vas ai manglia te del duma te chacharel le angla narodo.

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

³⁴Numa kana haliarde ke Zhidovo sas, tsipisarde savorhe andek than sa kodola vorbi pashte dui chasuria, "Bari si e ikona Diana le Ephesusonge".

³⁵And when the townclerk had quieted the multitude, he saith, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there who knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?

³⁵Ai kana o baro manush le forosko ashadia le narodos te na mai buntuilpe, phendia, "Ephesusanuria, sa e lumia zhanel ke o foro kai si ando Ephesus, lel sama katar o tampla kai si e ikona Diana ai lako patreto kai hulisto anda cheri (Jupiter).

³⁶Seeing then that these things cannot be gainsaid, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.

³⁶Khonik nashti mothol ke chi zhanel, anda kodia trobul te na mai buntuin tume, ai te na keren kanch mai anglal sar te gindin tume.

³⁷For ye have brought [hither] these men, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.

³⁷Tume andian kadale manushen katse, won chi chorde andal tampluria, ai chi marde mui katar amari ikona.

³⁸If therefore Demetrius, and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.

³⁸Te si o Demetrius, ai leske manush te thonpe vari kashte dosh, si diesa krisake, ai si zhandari, ai kotse trobul te zhan te mothon pe kaste thon dosh.

³⁹But if ye seek anything about other matters, it shall be settled in the regular assembly.

³⁹Ai te mai si tumen vari so kai miazol tumenge ke nai mishto, lasharasa kodia diela ande kris.

⁴⁰For indeed we are in danger to be accused concerning this day's riot, there being no cause [for it]: and as touching it we shall not be able to give account of this concourse.

⁴⁰Ke sai dosharen ame ke buntuisailiam anda so kerdilia adies. Ke kanchi nai ame te sikavas ke vorta keras kai chidinisailiam.

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

⁴¹Kana getosardia pesko divano, phendia le narodoske te zhantar khere.
