¹Bula-na Apolos hi Korintus, Paulus modao' mpotara ngata to hi bulu' -na hi Asia Kedi', pai' lako' mana'u-idi hilou hi ngata Efesus. Hi ria-i hirua' hante ba hangkuja dua topetuku' Alata'ala.

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:

²Napekune' -ra, na'uli': "Ria-mokoi mporata Inoha' Tomoroli' kamepangala' -nie?" Ratompoi': "Ko'ia-hana! Ko'ia ria ki'epei karia-na Inoha' Tomoroli' tetu-e."

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].

³Napekune' tena Paulus, na'uli': "Ane wae, raniu' -koi ntuku' tudui' hema?" Ratompoi': "Ntuku' tudui' -na Yohanes Topeniu'."

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

⁴Ngkai ree, na'uli' Paulus mpo'uli' -raka: "Peniu' -na Yohanes-le, tanda kamedea-ta ngkai jeko' -ta. Aga bula-na Yohanes meniu' tohe'e, na'uli' -raka to Yahudi bona kana mepangala' -ra hi tauna to rata ngkabokoa' ngkai hi'a, hanga' -na Yesus."

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.

⁵Kara'epe-na toe, raniu' -ramo jadi' topetuku' Pue' Yesus.

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

⁶Kanajama-ra Paulus, pehompo-nami Inoha' Tomoroli' hi tauna toera, alaa-na mololita-ramo hante basa to nawai' -raka Inoha' Tomoroli', pai' -ra mpohowa' lolita to ngkai Alata'ala.

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

⁷Kawori' -ra toe, ba ria hampulu' rodua-ra.

⁷And they were in all about twelve men.

⁸Bula-na Paulus hi ngata Efesus toe, hilou oa' -i hi tomi posampayaa to Yahudi. Rala-na tolu mula, mololita-i hante uma ria ka'ekaa' -na, momewai' ngkalolita hante tauna to morumpu hi ree. Natudui' -ra beiwa ohea-na jadi' ntodea-na Alata'ala hi rala Kamagaua' -na, nanotohi nono-ra pai' nabawai-ra bona mepangala' -ra hi Yesus.

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.

⁹Aga ria ba hangkuja dua to motu'a nono-ra, uma-ra dota mepangala'. Hi rala poromua-ra, rasapuaka Tudui' Pue' Yesus. Jadi', Paulus pai' topetuku' Pue' Yesus uma-pi moromu hi tomi posampayaa toe. Malai-ramo hilou moromu hi tomi-na Tiranus. Tomi Tiranus toe, tomi bohe to biasa rapake' hewa tomi poromua. Butu eo-na Paulus momewai' ngkalolita hante tauna to moromu hi ree.

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.

¹⁰Toe bago-na rala-na rompae, duu' -na hawe'ea tauna to hi propinsi Asia, lompe' to Yahudi lompe' to bela-ra to Yahudi, mpo'epe-ramo Lolita Pue'.

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.

¹¹Bula-na Paulus hi Efesus toe, Alata'ala mpowai' -i kuasa mpobabehi tanda to mekoncehi lia.

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

¹²Bangku' lenco ba abe' to napake' Paulus, ane rakeni hilou hi topeda', hangaa mo'uri' -ramo, pai' ane ria seta to mpobalinai' -ra, metibo' wo'o-ra-rawo.

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

¹⁴Nto'u toe, ria wo'o hi Efesus ba hangkuja dua to Yahudi to modao' -dao' mpopalai seta to mpesuai' tauna. Ngkai hira' toe, ria pitu tomane, paka' ana' imam pangkeni to rahanga' Skewa. Hangkani, to pitu toera mperao mpopalai seta ngkai hadua tauna hante mpokahangai' hanga' Pue' Yesus. Ra'uli': "Hante hanga' Yesus to nakeni Paulus, palai-ko!"

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.

¹⁵Hampetompoi' seta toei: "Ane Yesus ku'inca moto-i, Paulus ku'inca wo'o-i. Hiaa' koi', hema wo'o-ko-koiwo!"

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

¹⁶Ngkai ree, pengkalitadi-nami tauna to napesuai' seta toe, hilou mpo'uko' -ra. Uma radadahi mpo'ewa-i, apa' parimuku mpu'u-i. Petibo' -rami ngkai rala tomi, weho pai' putu lawa-ramo, apa' pohea-ra oti nagani' -gani'.

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

¹⁷Hawe'ea tauna to mo'oha' hi Efesus, lompe' to Yahudi lompe' to bela-ra to Yahudi, mpo'epe to jadi' tohe'e. Toe pai' me'eka' -ra, pai' hanga' Yesus rapomobohe.

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.

¹⁸Ngkai ree wo'o, wori' -mi topepangala' hi Yesus mpangaku' hi mata ntodea babehia-ra to uma tumotoa.

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.

¹⁹Wori' -ra to ria pake' -ra mpokeni buku-buku pake' -ra, rarumpu pai' rasuwe hi mata ntodea. Oli buku pake' -ra tohe'e ane rarumpu, ria nte lima mpulu' ncobu doi pera'.

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

²⁰Jadi', ngkai kajadia' to mobaraka' hewa toe, kawoo-woria' tauna to mpo'epe Lolita Pue', pai' kawoo-woria' to mepangala'.

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.

²¹Timpaliu-mi to jadi' toe, Paulus mopatuju hilou hi propinsi Makedonia pai' Akhaya, pai' oti toe doko' hilou-i hi ngata Yerusalem. Na'uli' wo'o: "Oti-a mpai' ngkai Yerusalem, kana hilou-a hi ngata Roma."

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

²²Ngkai ree, nahubui-mi rodua topobago-na hilou meri'ulu hi Makedonia. Hanga' -ra, Timotius pai' Erastus. Aga Paulus moto, ria-i-pidi-hana hi propinsi Asia.

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.

²³Nto'u toe, wori' tauna mpobabehi pewongoia hi ngata Efesus sabana Tudui' Pue' Yesus. Hewa toi tutura-na:

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

²⁴Hi Efesus toe, ria hadua tomane to pante mpobabehi rewa ngkai salaka', hanga' -na Demetrius. Pobago-na mpobabehi too-tomia ngkai salaka' to molence tomi pepuea' hi anitu to rahanga' Dewi Artemis. Ngkai pobago-na tohe'e, hi'a pai' topobago-na mporata doi uma hangke-ngkedi'.

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

²⁵Rala-na ha'eo, narumpu-ramo doo-doo hampobagoa-na hante topobago pante salaka' ntani' -na, pai' na'uli' -raka: "Ompi' -ompi', ni'inca moto-mi, ngkai bago-ta tohe'i wori' lia pomporataa-ta.

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

²⁶Hiaa' nihilo pai' ni'epe-mi-koiwo napa to nababehi tauna to rahanga' Paulus toei lou. Na'uli' lence to rababehi manusia', uma natao rapue'. Wori' -mi tauna to nabawai, duu' -na mepangala' -ramo hi tudui' -na tetu. Uma muntu' hi Efesus, neo' hi humalili' propinsi Asia, bate wae wo'o.

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

²⁷Jadi' ompi' -ompi', me'eka' -ta, nee-neo' mpai' uma-pi hema to dota mpo'oli lence-lence to tababehi ngkai salaka'. Uma muntu' toe, tapi' meka' ba lue' tomi pepuea' -ta hi Artemis wo'o uma-pi rasaile', duu' -na uma-pi rabila' hanga' Artemis to mobaraka' lia. Bo anitu-ta toe to rapue' hawe'ea tauna hi Asia pai' hi humalili' dunia'."

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:

²⁸Kara'epe-na lolita Demetrius toe, moroe-ramo, pai' -ra ntora mogora: "Une' -imi Artemis, anitu-ta to Efesus!"

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.

²⁹Pewongoia tohe'e ngkenele hobo' hi rala ngata. Ngkai ree, mo'iko-ra ntodea hilou hi tomi poromua bohe to hi rala ngata. Rahoko' -ramo Gayus pai' Aristarkhus, pai' -ra rakeni hilou dohe-ra hi tomi poromua toe. Gayus pai' Aristarkhus toe, rodua to Makedonia to mpodohei Paulus hi pomakoa' -na.

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

³⁰Paulus doko' hilou dohe-ra mesua' hi rala poromua toe. Aga topetuku' Yesus mpokorai' -i bona neo' -i hilou.

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.

³¹Wae wo'o, ba hangkuja dua maradika hi propinsi Asia to mpobale-ki Paulus mpohubui tauna hilou mpo'uli' -ki bona neo' -i hilou hi poromua toe.

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

³²Nto'u toe, uma mowo kamerodo' -ra to morumpu toera. Ria to mpo'uli' hewa toi, ria to mpo'uli' hewa tetu. To wori' -na uma mpo'incai napa pai' morumpu-ra.

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

³³Hadua to Yahudi to rahanga' Aleksander mokore doko' mololita, apa' hi'a to rahubui to Yahudi mpololitai ntodea. Nahuka' -raka ntodea bona mengkalino-ra, apa' doko' -i mpo'uli' noa' -na.

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.

³⁴Ntaa' we'i, karahilo-na ntodea Katoyahudi-na, rajojo lau-mi mogora rojaa kahae-na, ra'uli': "Une' -imi Artemis, anitu-ta to Efesus!"

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.

³⁵Ka'omea-na, hadua totu'a ngata mpopengkalino-ra, pai' na'uli' -raka: "Ompi' -ompi' to Efesus! Kita' to Efesus mpojampangi tomi pepuea' hi Artemis, anitu-ta to bohe lia baraka' -na. Kita' to mpotimamahi watu to moroli' to monawu' ngkai langi'. Uma hema to uma mpo'incai toe-e ompi'.

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.

³⁶Uma hema to mposapu toe. Toe pai' mengkalino-ta ulu, neo' -ta nakeni roe nono-ta.

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?

³⁷Tauna to rodua tohe'ira, nikeni-ra tumai, tapi' uma-ra-hawo mpanakoi tomi pepuea' -ta ba mporuge' hanga' anitu-ta.

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

³⁸Jadi', ane Demetrius hante ema' hampobagoa-na doko' mpakilu ba hema-hema, bate kana rabua' hi topohura ngata-hawo. Ria moto tempo to rapakatantu, tempo topohura mpohurai kara-kara.

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

³⁹Jadi' ompi' -ompi', ane ria-pidi kara-kara-ni, kara-kara tetu kana rapohurai hi porumpua ntuku' atura topoparenta-hana.

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.

⁴⁰Apa' napa to tababehi tohe'i-e, mekoroi' lia. Ra'uli' mpai' topoparenta Roma, porumpu-ta toi mpobabehi pe'ewaa. Pai' ane rarai' mpu'u-ta mpai', napa-mi-hawo to ta'uli', apa' uma ria huraa-ta mpobabehi poromua to merodo' tohe'i-e."

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

⁴¹Hudu-mi lolita totu'a ngata toei, pai' nahubui-ramo omea nculii' hilou hi tomi-ra.

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.

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