¹It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.

¹Haddaba waxaa dhacay, markii Abolloos Korintos joogay, in Bawlos oo soo dhex maray waddanka sare yimid Efesos, oo halkaas wuxuu kula kulmay kuwo xer ah.

²He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

²Markaasuu ku yidhi iyagii, Ruuxa Quduuska ah ma hesheen markaad rumaysateen? Kolkaasay ku yidhaahdeen, Maya, maba aannu maqlin in Ruuxa Quduuska ahi jiro iyo in kale.

³He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”

³Markaasuu ku yidhi, Haddaba maxaa laydinku baabtiisay? Oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Baabtiiskii Yooxanaa.

⁴Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.”

⁴Bawlosna wuxuu ku yidhi, Yooxanaa wuxuu dadka ku baabtiisay baabtiiska toobadda, isagoo dadkii ku leh, Waa inaad rumaysataan kan iga daba iman doona, isagoo ula jeeda Ciise.

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

⁵Oo markay waxaas maqleen, waxaa iyagii lagu baabtiisay Rabbi Ciise magiciisa.

⁶When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.

⁶Markii Bawlos gacmaha dul saarayna ayaa Ruuxa Quduuska ahu ku soo degay iyagii; markaasay afaf kale ku hadleen oo ay wax sii sheegeen;

⁷They were about twelve men in all.

⁷nimankii oo dhanna waxay ahaayeen abbaaraha laba iyo toban.

⁸He entered into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning the Kingdom of God.

⁸Haddaba sunagogga ayuu galay, oo meeshaas ayuu saddex bilood geesinimo kaga dhex hadlay, isagoo dadka la doodaya oo u soo jeedinaya waxyaalo ku saabsan boqortooyada Ilaah.

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.

⁹Laakiin qaarkood markay madax adkaadeen oo caasiyoobeen, iyagoo xumaan kaga hadlaya Jidka dadkii badnaa hortooda, ayuu iyagii ka tegey oo xertii ka soo soocay, oo maalin walba ayuu dad kula doodi jiray iskoolka Turannos.

¹⁰This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

¹⁰Taasuna laba sannadood ay socotay, si dadkii Aasiya degganaa, oo Yuhuud iyo Gariigba lahaa, ay u wada maqleen ereyga Rabbiga.

¹¹God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,

¹¹Ilaahna wuxuu gacmaha Bawlos ku sameeyey cajaa'ibyo khaas ah,

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

¹²sidaas aawadeedna waxaa jidhkiisa kuwii bukay looga keenay marooyin yaryar ama macawiso, markaasaa cudurradii iyagii daayeen, jinniyadiina waa ka baxeen.

¹³But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”

¹³Laakiin kuwo Yuhuudda wareegi jirtay ka mid ah oo jinniyosaarayaal ah baa waxay ku talo jireen inay kuwii jinniyada qabay ka dul yidhaahdaan magaca Rabbi Ciise, iyagoo leh, Waxaan idinku dhaarinayaa Ciisaha Bawlos dadka ku wacdiyo.

¹⁴There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.

¹⁴Waxaa jiray oo sidaas sameeyey toddoba wiil oo Iskeba dhalay, kaasoo ahaa wadaad sare oo Yuhuudi ah.

¹⁵The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”

¹⁵Markaasaa jinnigii u jawaabay oo ku yidhi iyagii, Ciise ayaan garanayaa, Bawlosna waan aqaan, idinkuse yaad tihiin?

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

¹⁶Haddaba ninkii jinniga qabay baa ku booday iyagii, wuuna ka xoog badiyey kulligood, oo ka adkaaday, sidaas darteed ayay gurigaas ka carareen, iyagoo qaawan oo dhaawacan.

¹⁷This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

¹⁷Markaasaa waxaa taas wada ogaaday Yuhuuddii iyo Gariigtii oo dhan oo Efesos joogtay; baqdinna waa wada gashay dhammaantood, magaca Rabbi Ciisena waa la weyneeyey.

¹⁸Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.

¹⁸Markaasaa qaar badan oo rumaystay yimaadeen iyagoo qiranaya oo caddaysanaya falimahooda.

¹⁹Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver. The 50,000 pieces of silver here probably referred to 50,000 drachmas. If so, the value of the burned books was equivalent to about 160 man-years of wages for agricultural laborers

¹⁹Kuwii sixir fali jirayna qaarkood intay kitaabbadoodii ururiyeen ayay dadka hortooda ku wada gubeen; wayna tiriyeen qiimadooda, oo waxay arkeen inay ahayd konton kun oo gogo' oo lacag ah.

²⁰So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.

²⁰Sidaasaa ereygii Rabbigu xoog ugu batay oo u adkaaday.

²¹Now after these things had ended, Paul determined 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.”

²¹Haddaba markii waxyaalahaasu dhammaadeen ayaa Bawlos ruuxiisa kula talo jiray inuu Yeruusaalem tago markuu Makedoniya iyo Akhaya sii dhex maray dabadeed, isagoo leh, Markaan meeshaas tago dabadeed, waa inaan Roomana arko.

²²Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

²²Markaasuu wuxuu Makedoniya u diray laba ka mid ah kuwii isaga u adeegi jiray oo ahaa Timoteyos iyo Erastos, isaga qudhiisuse wuxuu ku hadhay Aasiya intii muddo ah.

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

²³Haddaba waxaa wakhtigaas kacday rabshad aan yarayn oo ku saabsan Jidka.

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

²⁴Maxaa yeelay, ninkoo Deemeetriyos la odhan jiray oo lacagtume ahaa, oo macbudyo yaryar oo Di'ana lacag ka samayn jiray, wuxuu sancaawiyadii u keeni jiray faa'iido aan yarayn;

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

²⁵kuwaasoo uu isla soo ururiyey raggii la shuqul ahaa isagoo ku leh, Niman yahow, waad og tihiin inaynu shuqulkan ka helno hodantinimadeenna.

²⁶You see and hear, that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands.

²⁶Waxaad arkaysaan oo aad maqlaysaan in Bawloskanu sasabay oo jeediyey dad badan, oo aan kuwii Efesos oo keliya ahayn, laakiin kuwii joogay Aasiya badidood, isagoo leh, Ilaahyo gacmo lagu sameeyo, ilaahyo ma aha.

²⁷Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing, and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”

²⁷Khatar uma aha shuqulkeenna oo keliya in la quudhsado, laakiin waxay khatar u tahay oo kale in macbudka ilaahadda weyn oo Di'ana la fududaysto, weynaanteedana laga baabbi'iyo, taasoo Aasiya oo dhan iyo duniduba ay wada caabudaan.

²⁸When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

²⁸Oo markay taas maqleen, aad bay u cadhoodeen, wayna dhawaaqeen iyagoo leh, Waxaa weyn Di'anada reer Efesos.

²⁹The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.

²⁹Magaaladii oo dhammuna waa wada qasnayd; waxayna qabsadeen Gayos iyo Aristarkhos oo ahaa niman reer Makedoniya oo la socdaali jiray Bawlos, markaasay iyagoo isku wada qalbi ah te'atradii ku yaaceen.

³⁰When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.

³⁰Kolkii Bawlos damcay inuu dadkii dhex galo, xertii uma ay oggolaan isagii.

³¹Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.

³¹Haddaba qaar ka mid ah madaxda Aasiya oo saaxiibbo u ahaa isagii ayaa u soo cid diray, oo waxay ka baryeen inuusan isku biimayn te'atradii.

³²Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.

³²Haddaba qaar wax bay ku qayliyeen, qaar kalena wax kalay ku qayliyeen, maxaa yeelay, ururkii waa qasnaa, badidooduna ma ay garanayn waxay isugu yimaadeen.

³³They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.

³³Markaasay Aleksanderos ka soo saareen dadkii badnaa isagoo ay Yuhuuddii hore u soo tuurayaan. Markaasaa Aleksanderos gacan taagay, oo wuxuu damci lahaa inuu af isku daafaco dadka hortiisa.

³⁴But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

³⁴Laakiin kolkay garteen inuu Yuhuudi yahay ayay dhammaan intii laba saacadood ah isku cod ku qayliyeen iyagoo leh, Waxaa weyn Di'anada reer Efesos.

³⁵When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?

³⁵Markuu karaanigii magaaladu aamusiiyey dadkii badnaa, ayuu ku yidhi, Nimankiinan reer Efesosow, ninkee baan oqoon in magaalada Efesos ay tahay ta ilaalisa macbudka Di'anada weyn iyo sanamkii Yubiter ka soo dhacay?

³⁶Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.

³⁶Waxyaalahaasu waa wax aan la dafiri karin, sidaas daraaddeed waxaa idinku waajib ah inaad xasilloonaataan oo aydnaan samayn wax qamaam ah.

³⁷For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.

³⁷Waayo, waxaad halkan keenteen nimankan iyagoo aan ahayn kuwo macbudyo dhaca ama kuwo caaya ilaahaddeenna.

³⁸If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.

³⁸Sidaas daraaddeed haddii Deemeetriyos iyo kuwa la shuqul ah ay nin wax ku haystaan, maxkamadahu waa furan yihiin, xaakinnona waa jiraan; haddaba ha isdacweeyaan.

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

³⁹Laakiin haddii aad doonaysaan wax ku saabsan axwaal kale, waxaa lagu gar gooyn doonaa ururkii sharciga.

⁴⁰For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning this day’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”

⁴⁰Haddaba waxaa khatar inoo ah in laynagu ashtakeeyo rabshaddii maanta aawadeed, iyadoo aan sababu u jirin; taasoo aynaan kari doonin inaynu wax ka sheegno buuqan.Oo goortuu waxyaalahaas ku hadlay dabadeed ayuu ururkii kala diray.

⁴¹When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

⁴¹Oo goortuu waxyaalahaas ku hadlay dabadeed ayuu ururkii kala diray.
