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.

¹And it came to pass, in Apollos` being in Corinth, Paul having gone through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and having found certain disciples,

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

²he said unto them, `The Holy Spirit did ye receive — having believed?` and they said unto him, `But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit;`

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

³and he said unto them, `To what, then, were ye baptized?` and they said, `To John`s baptism.`

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.

⁴And Paul said, `John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe — that is, in the Christ — Jesus;`

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

⁵and they, having heard, were baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus,

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.

⁶and Paul having laid on them [his] hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying,

⁷Won sas sa andek than desh u dui manush.

⁷and all the men were, as it were, twelve.

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.

⁸And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the reign of God,

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.

⁹and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, having departed from them, he did separate the disciples, every day reasoning in the school of a certain Tyrannus.

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

¹⁰And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia did hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks,

¹¹Ai O Del kerelas bare mirakluria le Pavlosa.

¹¹mighty works also — not common — was God working through the hands of Paul,

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.

¹²so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.

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."

¹³And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took upon [them] to name over those having the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, `We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul doth preach;`

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

¹⁴and there were certain — seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest — who are doing this thing;

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

¹⁵and the evil spirit, answering, said, `Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; and ye — who are ye?`

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.

¹⁶And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house,

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

¹⁷and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified,

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

¹⁸many also of those who did believe were coming, confessing and declaring their acts,

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.

¹⁹and many of those who had practised the curious arts, having brought the books together, were burning [them] before all; and they reckoned together the prices of them, and found [it] five myriads of silverlings;

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

²⁰so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing.

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."

²¹And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying — `After my being there, it behoveth me also to see Rome;`

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

²²and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him — Timotheus and Erastus — he himself stayed a time in Asia.

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

²³And there came, at that time, not a little stir about the way,

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

²⁴for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the artificers gain not a little,

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

²⁵whom, having brought in a crowd together, and those who did work about such things, he said, `Men, ye know that by this work we have our wealth;

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.

²⁶and ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, did turn away a great multitude, saying, that they are not gods who are made by hands;

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!"

²⁷and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world doth worship.`

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

²⁸And they having heard, and having become full of wrath, were crying out, saying, `Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!`

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.

²⁹and the whole city was filled with confusion, they rushed also with one accord into the theatre, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul`s fellow-travellers.

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

³⁰And on Paul`s purposing to enter in unto the populace, the disciples were not suffering him,

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.

³¹and certain also of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, having sent unto him, were entreating him not to venture himself into the theatre.

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

³²Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they were come together;

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.

³³and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander — the Jews thrusting him forward — and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defence to the populace,

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

³⁴and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, `Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!`

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).

³⁵And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, saith, `Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is a devotee of the great goddess Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus?

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.

³⁶these things, then, not being to be gainsaid, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

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

³⁷`For ye brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor speaking evil of your goddess;

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.

³⁸if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the artificers with him with any one have a matter, court [days] are held, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another.

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

³⁹`And if ye seek after anything concerning other matters, in the legal assembly it shall be determined;

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

⁴⁰for we are also in peril of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day, there being no occasion by which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse;`

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

⁴¹and these things having said, he dismissed the assembly.
