Asunasi Dunu Ilia Hou 17
1 Bolo amola Sailase, da A: mafiboulisi moilai bai bagade amola A: bolounia moilai baligili, Desalouniga moilai bai bagadega doaga: i. Amo moilai ganodini da sinagoge diasu galu.
After passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, Paul and Silas came to Thessalonica. Here the Jews had a synagogue;
2 Ea musa: hamonanu hou defele, Bolo da sinagoge diasuga golili sa: i. Sa: bade eso udianaga, e da dunuma gilisili sia: dasu.
and, following his usual custom, Paul joined them, and for three Sabbaths addressed them, drawing his arguments from the scriptures.
3 E da Gode Sia: Dedei olelei. Musa: dedei da Mesaia (Gode Ea ilegei dunu) da fa: no se nabimu amola bogole, wa: legadomu, e da amo dedei noga: le olelei. Bolo da amane sia: i, “Amo dunu Yesu Gelesu na da dilima olelesa, amo da Mesaia.”
He laid before them and explained that the Christ must undergo suffering and rise from the dead; and “It is this man,” he declared, “who is the Christ – this Jesus about whom I am telling you.”
4 Mogili da dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Bolo amola Sailase elama madelagi. Mogili ouligisu dunu ilia uda amola Galigi fi Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu dunu, ilia Bolo amola Sailase elama madelagi.
Some of the people were convinced, and threw in their lot with Paul and Silas, as did also a large body of Greeks who were accustomed to join in the Jewish services, and a great number of leading women.
5 Be Yu dunu da mudabeba: le, ilia da wadela: i hamosu udigili esalebe dunu bagohame gilisi. Amo dunu da sia: ga gegebeba: le, dunu huluane Desalouniga moilai ganodini da wili gala: su. Wadela: i hamosu dunu da Bolo amola Sailase ela da Ya: isane ea diasuga esala, amo dawa: i galu. Ilia da ela dunu gilisisu amoga hiouginana masusa: dawa: i. Amaiba: le ilia Ya: isane ea diasuga gegemusa: doaga: la: i.
But the Jewish leaders, becoming jealous, engaged some worthless fellows from the streets, and, getting a mob together, kept the city in an uproar. They attacked Jason’s house, with the intention of bringing Paul and Silas before the Popular Assembly;
6 Be Bolo amola Sailase hame ba: beba: le, ilia da Ya: isane amola eno Yesu Ea hou lalegagui dunu, hiougili, moilai fofada: su dunuma doaga: le, ilima amane halasu, “Amo dunu da soge huluane ganodini wili gala: su. Wali ilia da ninia moilaiga doaga: i dagoi.
and, not finding them there, they proceeded to drag Jason and some of the Lord’s followers before the city magistrates, shouting out, “These men, who have turned the world upside down, have now come here,
7 Ya: isane da amo dunu ea diasu ganodini aowasu. Ilia huluane da ninia Louma Hina ea sema wadela: sa. Hina bagade eno Ea dio amo Yesu da esalebe, ilia da ogogole sia: daha!”
and have been harbored by Jason! They are all defying the decrees of the Emperor. They say that someone else is king – a man called Jesus!”
8 Amo sia: beba: le, dunu huluane gilisi amola moilai fofada: su dunu, da gilisili ougili sia: ga gegenana halasu.
On hearing this, the people and the city magistrates were much concerned;
9 Amalalu, fofada: su dunu da Ya: isane amola eno fa: no bobogesu dunu ilima ilia se dabe iasu diasu logo doasima: ne dabe lai dagole, ilima fisili masa: ne sia: i.
and, before letting them go, they took bail from Jason and the others.
10 Gasi doaga: beba: le, Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu da Bolo amola Sailase amo Belia moilaiga asunasi. Amoga doaga: loba, ela da sinagoge diasu ganodini golili sa: i.
That very night the followers sent Paul and Silas off to Beroea; and on reaching that place, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
11 Amo moilai dunu ilia nabasu hou da Desalouniga dunu ilia hou baligi dagoi. Ilia hanaiwane Yesu Ea sia: nabasu. Eso huluane, Bolo ea sia: i liligi ado ba: ma: ne, ilia Gode Sia: Dedei Buga idili, bai hogolalu.
These Jews of Beroea were better disposed than those in Thessalonica, for they welcomed the message with great readiness, and daily examined the scriptures to see if what was said was true.
12 Bagohame da lalegagui dagoi. Bagade gagui Galigi uda bagohame amola Galigi dunu bagohameda lalegagui dagoi.
As a consequence, many of them became believers in Christ, besides a considerable number of Greek women of position, and of men also.
13 Be Yu dunu Desalouniga moilaiga esalu, amo da Bolo da Belia moilai bai bagadega esalebe amola Gode Ea sia: olelei dagoi, amo nabi. Ilia da misini, Belia dunu Boloma ougima: ne wili gala: su.
But, when the Jewish leaders in Thessalonica found out that God’s message had been delivered by Paul at Beroea, they came there too, exciting and disturbing the minds of the people.
14 Amaiba: le, Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu da Bolo hano wayabo bagade bega: doaga: ma: ne asunasi. Be Sailase amola Dimodi da Belia moilaiga esalu.
The followers immediately arranged for Paul to go away to the coast, but both Silas and Timothy stayed behind in Beroea.
15 Be Bolo ea ouligisu dunu da Bolo oule asili, A:denese moilai bai bagadega doaga: le, Belia moilai bai bagadega buhagi. Bu doaga: le, ilia Sailase amola Dimodi, elama Bolo ea olelei sia: i amo, Boloma hedolowane bu gilisima: ne sia: i.
The friends who escorted Paul took him as far as Athens, and, after receiving a message for Silas and Timothy to join him as quickly as possible, they started on their return.
16 Bolo da A: denese moilai bai bagadega Sailase amola Dimodi, ema bu gilisimusa: ouesalea, e da amo moilai ganodini ogogosu ‘gode’ loboga hamoi liligi bagohame ba: beba: le, se bagade nabi.
While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his heart was stirred at seeing the whole city full of idols.
17 Amaiba: le, e da sinagoge diasu ganodini, Yu dunu amola Dienadaile Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu dunu, ilima bagade sia: dasu. Amola e da dunu bidi lama: ne diasu sogebi amo ganodini amola dunu amo da udigili manebeba: le, ilima sia: olelei.
So he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and with those who joined in their worship, as well as daily in the public Square with those who happened to be there.
18 Eno olelesu dunu fi ilia dio amo Ebigiulia: ne amola Sidouigi, ili amola Bolo, da gilisili fofada: su. Mogili ilia amane sia: i, “Amo gasa fi dadousa dunu da adi sia: dasula: ?” Be eno dunu da bu adole i, “Amabela: ? E da ‘gode’ liligi hisu amo ilia hou olelesala: ?” Bolo da Yesu Gelesu Ea hou amola Ea wa: legadosu hou, amo olelebeba: le, ilia agoane sia: dasu.
Among others, some Epicurean and Stoic Philosophers joined issue with him. Some asked “What is this prater wanting to make out?”, while others said “He seems to be a preacher of foreign Deities.” (This was because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection).
19 Amaiba: le, ilia da Bolo Gasolo dunu gilisisu ilima oule asi. Gasolo gilisisu ea dio amo Eliobagase. Ilia ema amane adole ba: i, “Ninia da dia gaheabolo olelesu liligi amo bai nabimu hanai gala.
So they laid hold of him and took him to the Court of Areopagus. “May we hear,” they asked, “what new teaching this is which you are giving?
20 Dia olelesu liligi mogili ninia fofogadigili naba. Ninia da amo bai dawa: mu hanai gala!”
For you are bringing some strange things to our notice, and we should like to know what they mean.”
21 (A: denese fi dunu amola ga misi dunu amo moilai ganodini esalu, da eso huluane gaheabolo hou sia: sa: imusa: dawa: lalu. Hou eno hame hamosu - amo fawane.)
(All Athenians and the foreigners staying in the city found no time for anything else but telling, or listening to, the last new thing.)
22 Bolo da wa: legadole, Gasolo dunu huluane nabima: ne amane sia: i, “Dilia A: denese dunu huluane da a: silibu liligi ilima bagadewane dawa: lala, amo na da ba: sa.
So Paul took his stand in the middle of the Court, and said – “People of Athens, on every hand I see signs of your being very devout.
23 Na da dilia moilai ganodini dilia sia: ne gadosu sogebi ba: musa: ahoabeba: le, na da oloda ba: i. Amo da: iya dedei diala amane, “‘gode’ amo ninia hame dawa:” amo na ba: beba: le, dili da a: silibu liligi ilima bagadewane dawa: lala, na dawa: i. Amaiba: le, dilia hame dawa: su liligi, dilia ilima udigili sia: ne gadosu liligi, amo na da dilima olelemu.
For as I was going about, looking at your sacred shrines, I came upon an altar with this inscription – ‘To an Unknown God.’ What, therefore, you worship in ignorance, that I am now proclaiming to you.
24 Godedafa, E da osobo bagade amola amo ganodini liligi huluane, hahamoi dagoi. E da mu amola osobo bagade, amoma Hina Gode esala. E da dunu ili loboga gagui debolo diasu amo ganodini hame esala.
The God who made the world and all things that are in it – he, Lord as he is of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by hands,
25 Hisu da defele esala. Ninia da hawa: hamobeba: le, Ea hou fidimu da hamedei. Hisu da esalusu, mifo, liligi huluanedafa amola dunu huluanedafa ilima iahabeba: le, ninia da Ea hou afadenemusa: hame dawa:
neither do human hands minister to his wants, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives, to all, life, and breath, and all things.
26 Gode da dunu afadafa hamoi galu. Amo ea mano da osobo bagade fifi asi gala wali osobo bagade ganodini esala. Gode Hisu da ilia soge ilegei alalo amola ilia esalusu ode, amo ilegei dagoi.
He made all races of the earth’s surface – fixing a time for their rise and fall, and the limits of their settlements –
27 Bai E da osobo bagade dunu Gode hogoi helele ba: musa: , amo hanai galu. Be Gode da sogebi sedaga amo ganodini hame esala. E da nini huluanema gadenenewane esala.
That they might search for God, if by any means they might feel their way to him and find him. And yet he is not really far from any one of us;
28 Musa: dunu da amane sia: i, ‘Ninia da Godema madelagiba: le, esalebe amola lalebe, hou hamosu dawa:’ Dilia gesami hea: su dedesu dunu enoda amane dedei, ‘Ninia amola da Ea mano esala.’
for in him we live and move and are. To use the words of some of your own poets – ‘His offspring, too, are we.’
29 Ninia da Gode Ea mano esalebeba: le, ninia da E da hame esala ogogosu ‘gode’ gouliga ma silifaga ma igiga amo osobo bagade dunu ea gasaga hamoi, E da amo liligi defele ninia dawa: mu da defea hame galebe.
Therefore, as the offspring of God, we must not think that the Deity has any resemblance to anything made of gold, or silver, or stone – a work of human art and imagination.
30 Musa: , dunu da Gode Ea hou hame dawa: beba: le, amo liligi ilia loboga hamonoba, amo hou Gode da gogolema: ne olofoi dagoi. Be wali, E da gasa bagadewane, dunu da ilia wadela: i hou yolesili, Ema sinidigima: ne sia: sa.
True, God looked with indulgence on the days of people’s ignorance, but now he is announcing to everyone everywhere the need for repentance,
31 Bai E da fofada: su eso ilegei dagoi. Amo ganodini E da moloiwane osobo bagade dunu huluanema fofada: mu. Amola E da Fofada: su Dunu ilegei dagoi. E da dunu huluane amo hou noga: le dawa: ma: ne, amo Fofada: su Dunu Ea bogoi wa: lesi dagoi!”
because he has fixed a day on which he intends to judge the world with justice, by a man whom he has appointed – and of this he has given all people a pledge by raising this man from the dead.”
32 Ilia da Bolo ea sia: amo da bogoi dunu Godema wa: lesi amo sia: nababeba: le, mogili da Boloma oufesega: su. Be mogili amane sia: i, “Amo sia: ea bai ninia hobea bu nabimu hanai gala!”
On hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some began jeering, but others said that they wanted to hear what he had to say about that another time.
33 Amalalu, Bolo da amo gilisisu yolesili, asi.
And so Paul left the Court.
34 Dunu mogili ilia Boloma madelagili, Yesu Ea hou lalegagui dagoi. Afae da Gasolo dunu ea dio amo Daionisiase. Eno da uda ea dio amo Da: malisi. Eno dunu amolawane da lalegagui.
There were, however, some people who joined him, and became believers in Christ. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the Court of Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and several others.
