Sura ya 19
1 Ikajha kujha Apolo bho ajhe Korintho, Paulo apetili nyanda sya panani ni kufika mu mji bhwa Efeso, na akolili bhanafunzi kadhaa okhu. 2 Paulo akabhajobhela, “Je mwapokili Roho mtakatifu bho mukyeriri?” Bhakan'jobhela, “Lepi, twabhwesilepi hata kup'eleka kuhusu Roho mtakatifu.” 3 Paulo akajobha, “henu muenga mwabatisibhu bhuli? Bhakajobha, Mu bhubatisu bhwa Yohana. 4 Basi paulo akajibu, “Yohana abatisi kwa bhubatisu bhwa toba. Akabhajobhela bhanu bhala kujha bhilondeka kunkiera jhola ambajhe ngaahidili baada jha muene, yaani, Yesu.” 5 Bhanu bho bhap'eliki habari ejhe, bhakabatisibhwa kwa lihina lya Bwana Yesu. 6 Na jhikajhe Paulo bho abhekili mabhoko panani pa bhene, Roho mtakatifu akahida juu jha bhene ni kujhanda kunene kwa lugha ni kutabiri. 7 Jumla jha bhene bhajhele bhaghosi jhapata kumi ni bhabhele. 8 Paulo akalota kusinagogi akanena kwa bhujasiri kwa muda bhwa miesi midatu. Akajha ilongosya majadiliano ni kubhafuta bhanu kuhusu mambo ghaghihusu ufalme bhwa K'yara. 9 Lakini Bhayahudi bhangi bhajhele bhakaidi na bhabhi belakutii, bhakajhanda kujobha mabhibhi kuhusu njela jha Kristu mbele jha bhumati. Basi Paulo akalekana nabhu ni kubhatenga bhabhikiera patali nabhu. Nu muene akajhanda kulongela kila ligono mu ukumbi bhwa Tirano. 10 Ejhe jhayendelili kwa miaka mibhele, kwa hiyo bhoha bhakajha bhiishi ku Asia bhap'eliki lilobhi lya Bwana, bhoha Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani. 11 K'yara akajha ibhomba mambo mabaha kumabhoko gha Paulo, 12 Kwamba hata bhatamu bhaponyisibhu, ni roho bhabhibhi bhahomili wkati bho bhatolili leso ni ngobho sya sihomili mu mbele bhwa Paulo. 13 Lakini bhayele Bhayahudi bhapunga pepo bhakajha bhisafiri kupetela lieneo elu, bhakajha bhalalitumila lihina lya Ysu kwandabha jha matumizi gha bhene. Bhakajobhele bhala bhabhajheni pepo bhachafu: Bhakajobha, “Nikabhaarumuru mubhokayi kwa lihina lya Yesu ambaye Paulo akamhubiri.” 14 Bhabhakabhobi agha bhajhele bhana saba bha kuhani mbaha bhwa Kiyahudi, Sekewa. 15 Roho bhachafu bhakabhajibu, “Yesu ni mmanyili, ni Paulo ni mmanyili, lakini muene bha niani?” 16 Roho nchafu jhola mugati mwa munu akabhanukila bhapunga pepo ni kubhatola nghofu ni kubhatosha. Ndipo bhakajumba kuhoma mu nyumba jhela bhakajha ngoli ni kujeruhibhwa. 17 Lijambo ele lyamanyikene kwa bhoha, Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani, ambabho bhatamili okhu Efeso. Bhakajha ni hofu sana ni lihina lya Bwana lyazidili kuheshimibhwa. 18 Kabhele, bhingi bha bhaumini bhahidili ni kuungama na bhadhihirishi matendo mabhibhi bhaghabhombili. 19 Bhingi bhabhombeghe uganga bhabhongeniye fitabu fya bhene, bhekafinyanya mbele jha kila munu. Bwakati bhene bhibhalanga thamani jha fenu efu, jhajhele fipandi hamsini elfu fya hela. 20 Efyo lilobhi lya Bwana lyajhenili kwa upana sana kwa ngofu. 21 Jha Paulo kukamilisya huduma jha muene khola Efeso, Roho akandongosya kulota Yerusalemu kupetela Makedonia ni Akaya; Akajobha, “Baada jha kujha okhu, jhilondeka kulota Rumi kabhele.” 22 Paulo akabhalaghisya Makedonia bhanafunzi bha muene bhabhele, Timotheo ni Erasto, ambabho bhajhele bhan'saidili. Lakini muene asiele Asia kwa muda. 23 Wakati obhu kwatokili ghasia mbaha okhu Efeso kuhusu njela jhela. 24 Sonara mmonga lihina lya muene Demetrio, ambajhe atengenisi fisanamu fya hela fya K'yara Diana, aletili biashara mbaha kwa mafundi. 25 Efyo akabhabhonganiya mafundi bha mbombo ejhu ni kujobha, “Bhaheshimibhwa, mmanyili kujha mu biashara ejhe tete twijhingisya hela simehele. 26 Mwilola ni kupeleka kujha, si apa tu Efeso, bali karibia Asia jhioha, Paulo ojho abhashawishi ni kubhageusya bhanu bhingi. Ijobha kujha ijhelepi miungu ambayo jhibhombiki kwa mabhoko. 27 Na sio tu jhijhele hatari kujha biashara jha tete jhibetakujha jhilondeka lepi, lakini kabhele ni hekalu lya K'yara n'dala jha ajhe mbaha Diana ibhwesya kutolibhwa kujha ajhelepi ni maana. Kabhele ngaabhwesili hata kujhasya ubhaha bhwa muene, muene ambajhe Asia ni dunia bhakamwabudu.” 28 Bho bhapeliki agha, bhamemibhu ni ligoga ni kujhuegha, bhakajobha, “Diana ghwa bhaefeso ndo mbaha.” 29 Mji bhuoha bhwameli ligoga, ni bhanu bhakajumba pamonga mugati mu ukumbi bhwa michezo. Bhakabhakamila bhasafiri bhajhinu ni Paulo, Gayo ni Aristariko, bhabhahomili Makedonia. 30 Paulo alondeghe kujhingila mu umati bhwa bhanu, lakini bhanafunzi bhakambesya. 31 Kabhele, baadhi jha maafisa bha mkoa ghwa Asia ambabho bhajhele marafiki bha muene bhakandetela ujumbe kwa nghofo kunsoka asijhingili mu ukumbi bhwa michezo. 32 Baadhi jha bhanu bhakajha bhijobha khenu ekhe ni bhangi lijambo lela, kwa ndabha umati bhwa bhanu bhwachanganyikibhu bhingi bhabhwesilepi hata kumanya kwandayakiki bhahidi pamonga. 33 Bhayahudi bhakandeta Iskanda kwibhala jha umati bhwa bhanu ni kumbeka panani mbele jha bhanu. Iskanda akapisya ishara kwa kibhoko kya muene kupisya majhelesu kwa bhanu. 34 Lakini bho bhamanyili kujha muene Myahudi, bhoha bhajhwegili kwa sauti jhimonga kwa muda ghwa masaa mabhele, “Diana ndo mbaha ghwa Bhaefeso.” 35 Baada jha karani ghwa mji kubhugudamisya umati, ajobhili, 'Muenga bhagosi bha Efeso, niani jha amanyilepi mji obho bhwa Efeso ndo ntunzaji ghwa hekalu lya Diana mbaha ni picha jhela jhajhaguili kuhomela kumbinguni? 36 Kulola kujha mambo agha ghibhwesekakalepi, twilondeka kujha ni utulivu na msibhombi kyokyoha kwa haraka. 37 Kwandabha mubhakutili bhanu abha pa mahakama ambabho bhah'ejilepi bha hekalu wala sio bha kun'kufuru K'yara watete n'dala. 38 Henu, kama Demetrio ni mafundi bhabhajhe pamonga nabhu bhajhe ni mashtaka dhidi jha munu jhejhioha, mahakama sijhewazi ni maliwali bhajhele. Na bhaletibhwayi mbele jha shauri. 39 Lakini kama bhebhe wilonda kyokyoha kuhusu mambo ghangi, ghibeta kushughulikibhwamu kikao halali. 40 Kwa kweli tujhele mu hatari jha kutuhumibhwa kuhusu ghasia ligono ele. Ijhelepi sababu jha machafuko agha na kubetakujha ni uwezo bhwa kughajhelesya. 41 Baada jha kujobha agha, abhatawenye makutano.
