Acts 19:27

Not only is there danger that this trade of ours will be discredited, but also that the [magnificent] [g]temple of the great goddess [h]Artemis will be discredited, and that she whom all Asia and the world worship will even be dethroned and lose her glorious magnificence.”

So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

“Not only is our little business in danger of falling apart, but the temple of our famous goddess Artemis will certainly end up a pile of rubble as her glorious reputation fades to nothing. And this is no mere local matter—the whole world worships our Artemis!” 28-31 That set them off in a frenzy. They ran into the street yelling, “Great Artemis of the Ephesians! Great Artemis of the Ephesians!” They put the whole city in an uproar, stampeding into the stadium, and grabbing two of Paul’s associates on the way, the Macedonians Gaius and Aristarchus. Paul wanted to go in, too, but the disciples wouldn’t let him. Prominent religious leaders in the city who had become friendly to Paul concurred: “By no means go near that mob!” 32-34 Some were yelling one thing, some another. Most of them had no idea what was going on or why they were there. As the Jews pushed Alexander to the front to try to gain control, different factions clamored to get him on their side. But he brushed them off and quieted the mob with an impressive sweep of his arms. But the moment he opened his mouth and they knew he was a Jew, they shouted him down: “Great Artemis of the Ephesians! Great Artemis of the Ephesians!”—on and on and on, for over two hours. 35-37 Finally, the town clerk got the mob quieted down and said, “Fellow citizens, is there anyone anywhere who doesn’t know that our dear city Ephesus is protector of glorious Artemis and her sacred stone image that fell straight out of heaven? Since this is beyond contradiction, you had better get hold of yourselves. This is conduct unworthy of Artemis. These men you’ve dragged in here have done nothing to harm either our temple or our goddess. 38-41 “So if Demetrius and his guild of artisans have a complaint, they can take it to court and make all the accusations they want. If anything else is bothering you, bring it to the regularly scheduled town meeting and let it be settled there. There is no excuse for what’s happened today. We’re putting our city in serious danger. Rome, remember, does not look kindly on rioters.” With that, he sent them home.

Not only is there danger that this trade of ours fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess [o]Artemis be regarded as worthless and that she whom all of [p]Asia and the [q]world worship will even be dethroned from her magnificence.”

Con eso, no solo corremos el riesgo de que nuestro negocio se venga abajo y que nuestros ingresos disminuyan, sino también que la importancia del templo de nuestra gran diosa Artemisa se desacredite, y que ella misma, cuya majestad se venera en toda Asia y en el mundo entero, caiga totalmente en el olvido.

Our work is in danger of losing its good name. People’s faith in the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be weakened. Now she is worshiped all over Asia Minor and the whole world. But soon she will be robbed of her greatness.”

There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited; and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty.”

There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited; and the goddess herself, who is worshipped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty.’

Of course, I’m not just talking about the loss of public respect for our business. I’m also concerned that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will lose its influence and that Artemis—this magnificent goddess worshiped throughout the province of Asia and all around the world—will be robbed of her great prestige!”

وَهَذَا لَا يُهَدِّدُ صِنَاعَتَنَا بِالْكَسَادِ وَحَسْبُ، بَلْ يُعَرِّضُ مَعْبَدَ أَرْطَامِيسَ إِلهَتِنَا الْعُظْمَى لِفُقْدَانِ هَيْبَتِهِ. فَنَخْشَى أَن تَتَلاشَى كَرَامَتُهَا وَتَنْهَارَ عَظَمَتُهَا، وَهِيَ الَّتِي يَتَعَبَّدُ لَهَا سُكَّانُ أَسِيَّا جَمِيعاً، بَلِ الْعَالَمُ كُلُّهُ!»

Busa delikado kining atong pangita, kay tingalig daoton na unya kini sa mga tawo. Ug dili lamang kana, delikado usab ang templo sa atong bantogan nga diosa nga si Artemis, kay tingalig mawad-an kinig pulos, ug dili na ilhon sa mga tawo ang atong diosa nga gisimba dili lamang dinhi sa Asia kondili sa tibuok usab nga kalibotan!”

Tím nejen poškozuje naše obchody, ale vážnost efezského chrámu a samotné Diany tak povážlivě upadá v Asii a snad v celém světě!“ 28-29 Tím ovšem přivedl shromáždění do varu a ti začali provolávat: „Velká je Diana z Efezu!“ Nepokoje se rychle rozšířily po celém městě, lidé se sbíhali do amfiteátru. Někde chytili Gaja a Aristarcha, Pavlovy makedonské průvodce, a přivlekli je tam.

Ikke alene giver det vores erhverv et dårligt ry, men der er fare for, at vores store gudinde Artemis’ tempel vil miste sin betydning, og at den gudinde, som hele Asien, ja hele verden, dyrker, vil blive vanæret!”

Aber es geht ja nicht nur darum, dass unsere Arbeit nicht mehr anerkannt wird! Auch der Tempel der herrlichen Göttin Artemis, die man nicht nur in Kleinasien[c], sondern in der ganzen Welt verehrt, wird bedeutungslos werden; ja, sie selbst wird in Vergessenheit geraten!«

Ahora bien, no solo hay el peligro de que se desprestigie nuestro oficio, sino también de que el templo de la gran diosa Artemisa sea menospreciado, y que la diosa misma, a quien adoran toda la provincia de Asia y el mundo entero, sea despojada de su divina majestad.

Ce n’est pas seulement notre corporation qui risque d’être discréditée, mais le temple de la grande déesse Artémis[f] lui-même pourrait y perdre toute sa renommée. Toute l’Asie et le monde entier adore cette déesse et il n’en faudrait pas beaucoup pour qu’elle soit discréditée.

אינני מדבר אך ורק על הצד העסקי של העניין, על אבדן הכנסתנו וקיפוח פרנסתנו; חשבו לרגע על הסכנה שבאבדן יוקרתה של האלה הגדולה ארטמיס! תוך זמן קצר לא יהיה כל ערך למקדשה של ארטמיס, אשר שמה יצא לתהילה לא רק בארצנו, אלא בעולם כולו!"

Gani delikado ang aton palangitan-an, kay basi kon pakalainon sang mga tawo. Kag indi lang ina, kundi delikado man ang templo sang aton bantog nga diosa nga si Artemis, kay basi kon mangin wala na sing pulos ini, kag indi na pagkilalahon sang mga tawo ang aton diosa nga ginasimba indi lang diri sa Asia kundi sa bug-os man nga kalibutan!”

Ne govorim, dakako, samo o tomu da će naš posao doći na zao glas. Brinem se i da će obezvrijediti hram naše velike božice Artemide te da će nestati veličanstva te velike božice koju štuje cijela Mala Azija i sav svijet!'

A parte la questione dellʼinteresse e della perdita di guadagno, cʼè anche pericolo che il tempio della grande dea Diana non conti più niente e che Diana stessa, questa magnifica dea che tutta la provincia dʼAsia e tutto il mondo adorano, sia completamente dimenticata!»

もちろん、商売が圧迫されるとか、もうけが減るとかいったことだけを言うつもりはありません。私が声を大にして言いたいことは、このままでは、偉大な女神アルテミス様の神殿のご威光が薄れ、この地方は言うにおよばず、世界中の人たちが礼拝してきた、すばらしい女神アルテミス様が忘れられてしまうということです。」

이러다가는 우리 사업에 대한 명성을 잃을 위험이 있을 뿐만 아니라 위대한 여신 아데미의 신전도 무가치하게 될 위험이 있습니다. 그렇게 되면 아시아와 온 세계가 섬기는 아데미 여신의 위엄마저 사라져 버릴 것입니다.”

Naturligvis kommer dette til å påvirke våre forretninger negativt. Det som bekymrer meg mest, er at templet til den store gudinnen Artemis kan komme til å miste sin anseelse. Ja, kanskje Artemis selv kommer til å bli glemt, denne mektige gudinnen som blir dyrket, ikke bare i provinsen Asia, men i hele verden.”

Onze zaken lopen daardoor gevaar, straks raken wij onze tempeltjes aan de straatstenen niet meer kwijt. Maar dat niet alleen! Ook de tempel van de grote godin Artemis loopt gevaar uit de belangstelling te raken. Als het zo doorgaat, is die prachtige godin voor wie Asia en de hele wereld zich neerbuigt, straks vergeten!’

Jego działalność zagraża naszym interesom. Co więcej, może doprowadzić do tego, że świątynia wielkiej bogini Artemidy zostanie zlekceważona, a sama Artemida zostanie pozbawiona czci, jaką oddaje jej prowincja Azja i cały świat.

Não somente há o perigo de nossa profissão perder sua reputação, mas também de o templo da grande deusa Ártemis cair em descrédito e de a própria deusa, adorada em toda a província da Ásia e em todo o mundo, ser destituída de sua majestade divina”.

É claro que não me preocupo apenas com o descrédito da nossa atividade, mas penso também no perigo do templo da grande Ártemis perder a sua influência e a deusa magnífica, adorada não só nesta parte da província da Ásia como também no mundo inteiro, cair no esquecimento.”

Pai chashnalla catijpica, mana ñucanchij cullqui japinalla tucurigrinchu. Ashtahuancarin, ñucanchij Diana shuti jatun diostamari, tucuicuna cungarishpa, paipaj huasitapish shitashcata saquigrincuna. Tucui Asia llajtapi causajcunapish, mai shujtaj llajtacunapi causajcunapish adorashca cashca jahuamari chashna tucugrin– nircami.

Prin urmare, există pericolul nu numai ca această muncă a noastră să ajungă de tot dispreţul, ci şi ca templul marii zeiţe Artemis să fie socotit ca o nimica şi chiar măreţia ei să fie distrusă, a ei, cea la care se închină toată Asia şi toată lumea!“

Это грозит не только тем, что наше ремесло потеряет своё доброе имя, но и что храм великой богини Артемиды уже ничего не будет значить. И сама богиня, которую почитает вся провинция Азия и весь мир, будет лишена божественного величия!

Hrozí nám, že nielen prídeme o svoje zisky a že sa naším remeslom začne pohŕdať, ale že aj chrám veľkej bohyne Artemis stratí svoju vážnosť a sama bohyňa, ktorú si ctí celá Ázia, ba aj celý svet, príde o svoju slávu."

Naturligtvis kommer detta att påverka våra affärer negativt, men det som oroar oss mest är att den stora gudinnan Artemis tempel kan komma att förlora sitt anseende och kanske Artemis själv kommer att mista sitt gudomliga majestät, hon som dyrkas inte bara i provinsen Asien utan i hela världen.”

Kwa hiyo kuna hatari kuwa kazi yetu itaanza kudharauliwa. Na si hivyo tu, bali hata hekalu la mungu wetu Artemi, aliye mkuu na anayeabudiwa Asia yote na ulimwengu wote, litakuwa halina maana tena na utukufu wake utaondolewa.”

สิ่งนี้เป็นอันตรายเพราะไม่เพียงแต่จะทำให้การค้าของเราเสียชื่อ ยังทำให้ผู้คนเสื่อมศรัทธาในวิหารของเทวีอารเทมิสผู้ยิ่งใหญ่ด้วย และเทวีเองที่ผู้คนกราบไหว้ทั่วแคว้นเอเชียและทั่วโลกจะถูกปล้นความยิ่งใหญ่อันศักดิ์สิทธิ์ของพระนางไป”

这样下去，不但我们的行业会遭人贬抑，连亚底米女神庙也会被人轻看，甚至全亚细亚及普世尊崇的女神也会威严扫地！”

这 样 ， 不 独 我 们 这 事 业 被 人 藐 视 ， 就 是 大 女 神 亚 底 米 的 庙 也 要 被 人 轻 忽 ， 连 亚 西 亚 全 地 和 普 天 下 所 敬 拜 的 大 女 神 之 威 荣 也 要 消 灭 了 。

這樣下去，不但我們的行業會遭人貶抑，連亞底米女神廟也會被人輕看，甚至全亞細亞及普世尊崇的女神也會威嚴掃地！」
