2 At sa kanila'y sinabi niya, Tinanggap baga ninyo ang Espiritu Santo nang kayo'y magsisampalataya? At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Hindi, hindi man lamang namin narinig na may ibinigay na Espiritu Santo.
2 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
4 At sinabi ni Pablo, Nagbabautismo si Juan ng bautismo ng pagsisisi, na sinasabi sa bayan na sila'y magsisampalataya sa darating sa hulihan niya, sa makatuwid baga'y kay Jesus.
4 Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”
8 At siya'y pumasok sa sinagoga, at nagsalitang may katapangan sa loob ng tatlong buwan, na nangangatuwiran at nanghihikayat tungkol sa mga bagay na nauukol sa kaharian ng Dios.
8 And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.
9 Datapuwa't nang magsipagmatigas ang ilan at ayaw magsipaniwala, na pinagsasalitaan ng masama ang Daan sa harapan ng karamihan, ay umalis siya sa kanila, at inihiwalay ang mga alagad, na nangangatuwiran araw-araw sa paaralan ni Tiranno.
9 But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
12 Ano pa't ang mga panyo o mga tapi na mapadaiti sa kaniyang katawan ay dinadala sa mga may-sakit, at nawawala sa kanila ang mga sakit, at nangagsisilabas ang masasamang espiritu.
12 so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.
13 Datapuwa't ilan sa mga Judiong pagalagala na nagsisipagpalayas ng masasamang espiritu, ay nagsipangahas na sambitlain ang pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus sa mga may masasamang espiritu, na nagsisipagsabi, Ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo sa pamamagitan ni Jesus na siyang ipinangangaral ni Pablo.
13 But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
16 At ang taong kinaroroonan ng masamang espiritu ay lumukso sa kanila, at sila'y kaniyang natalo, at nadaig sila, ano pa't nagsitakas sila sa bahay na yaon na mga hubo't hubad at mga sugatan.
16 And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 At nahayag ito sa lahat, sa mga Judio at gayon din sa mga Griego, na nangananahanan sa Efeso; at sinidlan silang lahat ng takot, at pinadakila ang pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus.
17 This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.
19 At hindi kakaunti sa mga nagsisigamit ng mga kabihasnang magica ay nagsipagtipon ng kanilang mga aklat, at pinagsusunog sa paningin ng lahat; at kanilang binilang ang halaga niyaon, at nasumpungang may limampung libong putol na pilak.
19 And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
21 Pagkatapos nga ng mga bagay na ito, ay ipinasiya ni Pablo sa espiritu, nang matahak na niya ang Macedonia at ang Acaya, na pumaroon sa Jerusalem, na sinasabi, Pagkapanggaling ko roon, ay kinakailangang makita ko naman ang Roma.
21 Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
24 Sapagka't may isang taong nagngangalang Demetrio, pandaypilak, na gumagawa ng maliliit na dambanang pilak ni Diana, ay nagbibigay ng hindi kakaunting hanap-buhay sa mga panday;
24 For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, was bringing no little business to the craftsmen;
26 At inyong nakikita at naririnig, na hindi lamang sa Efeso, kundi halos sa buong Asia, ay nakaakit ang Pablong ito at naghiwalay ng maraming mga tao, na sinasabing hindi raw mga dios, ang mga ginagawa ng mga kamay:
26 You see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made with hands are no gods at all.
27 At hindi lamang may panganib na mawalang kapurihan ang hanapbuhay nating ito; kundi naman ang templo ng dakilang diosa Diana ay mawawalan ng halaga, at hanggang sa malugso ang kadakilaan niya na sinasamba ng buong Asia at ng sanglibutan.
27 Not only is there danger that this trade of ours fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be regarded as worthless and that she whom all of Asia and the world worship will even be dethroned from her magnificence.”
29 At napuno ng kaguluhan ang bayan: at pinagkaisahan nilang lusubin ang dulaan, na sinunggaban si Gayo at si Aristarco, mga lalaking taga Macedonia, na kasama ni Pablo sa paglalakbay.
29 The city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, dragging along Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia.
32 At ang iba nga'y sumisigaw ng isang bagay, at ang iba'y iba naman: sapagka't ang pulong ay nasa kaguluhan; at hindi maalaman ng karamihan kung bakit sila'y nangagkatipon.
32 So then, some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion and the majority did not know for what reason they had come together.
33 At kanilang inilabas si Alejandro sa karamihan, na siya'y itinutulak ng mga Judio sa dakong harap. At inihudyat ang kamay ni Alejandro, at ibig sanang magsanggalang sa harapan ng bayan.
33 Some of the crowd concluded it was Alexander, since the Jews had put him forward; and having motioned with his hand, Alexander was intending to make a defense to the assembly.
34 Datapuwa't nang matalastas nilang siya'y Judio, ay nangagkaisang lahat na mangagsigawan sa loob halos ng dalawang oras, Dakila ang Diana ng mga Efeso.
34 But when they recognized that he was a Jew, a single outcry arose from them all as they shouted for about two hours, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
35 At nang mapatahimik na ng kalihim-bayan ang karamihan, ay kaniyang sinabi, Kayong mga lalaking taga Efeso, sino sa mga tao ang hindi nakakaalam na ang bayan ng mga Efeso ay tagapagingat ng templo ng dakilang Diana, at ng larawang nahulog mula kay Jupiter?
35 After quieting the crowd, the town clerk *said, “Men of Ephesus, what man is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the image which fell down from heaven?
38 Kung si Demetrio nga, at ang mga panday na kasama niya, ay mayroong anomang sakdal laban sa kanino man, ay bukas ang mga hukuman, at may mga proconsul: bayaan ninyong mangagsakdal ang isa't isa.
38 So then, if Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a complaint against any man, the courts are in session and proconsuls are available; let them bring charges against one another.
40 Sapagka't totoong nanganganib tayo na mangasakdal tungkol sa pagkakagulo sa araw na ito, palibhasa'y walang anomang kadahilanan: at tungkol dito ay hindi tayo makapagbibigay sulit tungkol sa pagkakatipong ito.
40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused of a riot in connection with today’s events, since there is no real cause for it, and in this connection we will be unable to account for this disorderly gathering.”
