Acts 17
1 And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Hahoi teh Pawl hoi Silas teh Amphipolis kho hoi Apollonia kho a tapuet roi teh Thesalon kho a pha roi. Hote kho dawkvah Judahnaw e sinakok ao.
2 And Paul, according to his custom, went in to them, and, for three sabbath-days, he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Pawl ni ahmoun e patetlah ahnimanaw kamkhuengnae koe a cei teh Sabbath hnin hnin thum touh thung Cakathoung hah a kâdeikhai awh.
3 explaining and affirming that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead; and that this Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.
Khrih teh reithainae a khang vaiteh duenae koehoi bout a thaw han tie kamcengcalah a pâpho teh, nangmouh koe ka pâpho e hete Jisuh raw doeh Khrih toe atipouh.
4 And some of them believed, and associated themselves with Paul and Silas; of the devout Greeks, a great multitude, and of the chief women, not a few.
Ahnimouh thung dawk a tangawn ni yuemnae dawk a pha teh, Pawl hoi Silas tinaw hnuk a kâbang awh. Cathut ka bawk e Griknaw moikapap hoiyah napui kam kamsawng e naw ni hai a yuem awh.
5 But the unbelieving Jews, taking with them some evil men, who were loungers about the markets, and collecting a mob, set the city in an uproar; and having assaulted the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
Hatnavah Judahnaw ni a ut awh dawkvah tami kaponaw a kaw awh teh a pâkhueng awh. Khopui thung ruengruengti khai awh, Jason im hah khik a kalup awh teh, Pawl hoi Silas hah taminaw hmalah tâcokhai hanelah a tawng awh.
6 But not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying out: These men, who have thrown the world into confusion, have come hither also;
Hatei ahnimouh roi teh a hmu awh hoeh dawkvah Jason hoi a hmaunawnghanaw hah, ukkungnaw koe a hrawi awh teh, kho tangkuem talaivan heh ka pakhuppathan e naw hi haiyah a pha awh toe.
7 whom Jason has received into his house: and they all act in opposition to the decrees of Cæsar, saying, That there is another king, Jesus.
Jason ni ahnimouh ama im a luen sak. Ahnimanaw teh Sizar bawi hloilah alouke siangpahrang tie Jisuh ao ati awh teh, Sizar bawi hah a taran awh telah a hramki awh.
8 And the multitude, and the rulers of the city, were troubled when they heard these things.
Hote lawk ka thai e khobuem hoi ukkungnaw a lungpuen awh.
9 And they took security of Jason, and of the others, and let them go.
Jason hoi alouke hmaunawnghanaw koe e rawngkhannae tangka a la teh ahnimouh teh bout a tha awh.
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea; and when they had come, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Pawl hoi Silas teh karum vah Berea kho a patoun awh. Hote kho dawk a pha roi toteh, Judahnaw e Sinakok vah a cei roi.
11 These were of a better disposition than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.
Berea kho e taminaw teh, Thesalon kho e kaawm e naw hlak a talue awh. Pawl tinaw ni a dei e hah lungthocalah hoi a dâw awh teh, laithoe maw atang maw tie hah a panue thai awh nahanelah, Cakathoung hnintangkuem a touk awh.
12 Therefore, many of them believed; both of influential women, who were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Ahnimanaw thung dawk tami moikapap ni a yuem awh. Bari kaawm e Grik napuinaw hoi tongpanaw ni hai a yuem awh.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul in Berea also, they came thither, and excited the multitude.
Hateiteh Thesalon kho kaawm e Judah taminaw ni Pawl teh Berea kho hai Cathut lawk a dei tie hah a thai awh toteh, taminaw a tacuek awh teh, ruengrueng ati sak awh.
14 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul away, to go as if to the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
Hatdawkvah hmaunawnghanaw ni Pawl hah karanglah tuipui totouh a thak awh. Silas hoi Timote teh hote khothung ao roi.
15 And those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and having received a commandment for Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him as soon as possible, they departed.
Pawl ka thak e naw ni Athen kho totouh a thak awh. Silas hoi Timote hah a coung thai nathung karanglah kai koe tho roi loe tie kâ a poe e a sin awh teh a ban awh.
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, when he saw the city full of idols.
Pawl ni Athen khovah ahnimouh a ring lahun nah hote kho teh meikaphawknaw seng lah ao e hah a hmu dawkvah, a lungthung khang thai hoeh.
17 Accordingly, he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and devout persons, and in the market daily, with those who chanced to meet him.
Hatdawkvah ahni teh sinakok dawk Judahnaw hoi Cathut ka bawk e taminaw hoi a kâdei awh teh, anhla yonae koehai a kâdeikhai.
18 And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers disputed with him; and some said: What can this babbler possibly wish to say? Others said: He seems to be a proclaimer of strange demons: for he preached to them Jesus and the Resurrection.
Epikurian hnukkâbangnaw hoi Satoiknaw nihai, Pawl hoi a kâdei awh. A tangawn ni hete tami ni bangmouh a deingai aw ati awh. A tangawn ni teh ramlouknaw e cathut kong vai a dei aw ati awh. Hettelah tinae teh Pawl teh Jisuh hoi boutthawnae kong a pâpho dawk doeh.
19 And they took him, and brought him to Mars hill, saying: Are we able to understand what this new teaching is, which is announced by you?
Hattoteh Pawl hah Aripakas yungim a kaw awh teh, hete cangkhainae a katha e heh kaimouh hai panue kawi maw ati awh.
20 For you bring some strange things to our ears: we wish to understand then what these things mean.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka thai awh boihoeh e, ka panue awh boihoeh e na dei e hah, kaimanaw hai panue hane ka ngai atipouh awh.
21 For all the Athenians and resident strangers have leisure for nothing else than to tell or to hear some new thing.
Athen khocanaw hoi imyinnaw teh kamthang lawk thai ngainae a hloilah alouklah hoi a tueng baw sak awh hoeh.
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars hill, and said: Men of Athens, I perceive that in all respects your reverence for demons excels that of other men.
Hatdawkvah Pawl ni yungim lungui a kangdue teh, Athen nangmouh heh phunglam koe lah na thahmei poung awh tie ka hmu.
23 For as I was passing through, and looking attentively at the objects of your worship, I dis covered also an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him I make known to you.
Na bawk awh e naw ka khet navah, panue hoeh e Cathut hanelah titeh ca na thut awh e thuengnae khoungroe buet touh ka hmu. Nangmouh ni na panue awh hoeh e Cathut lawk kai ni ka dei han.
24 God, who made the world, and all things that are in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands;
Talaivan hoi talai dawk kaawm e a cawngca kasakkung Cathut teh, kalvan hoi talai ukkung Bawi lah ao teh, tami e kut hoi sak e bawkimnaw thung awmhoeh.
25 nor is he ministered to by the hands of men, as if he needed any thing: for he himself gives to all life, and breath, and all things:
Hathloilah, Cathut teh tami hringnae hoi kâhanaw pueng hoi hno cawngca pueng kapoekung lah ao dawkvah, ka panki e boiboe lah tami ni khetyawtnae panki hoeh.
26 and he has made from one blood every nation of men, that they might dwell on all the face of the earth, having marked out their appointed times, and the bounds of their dwelling:
Cathut ni tami buet touh dawk hoi miphun abuemlah a sak teh, talai van pueng ao sak teh, a tue hoi ao awh nahane hmuen pueng hai lengkaleng a hmoun pouh.
27 that they might seek for God, if perhaps they would feel after him, and find him, although, indeed, he is not far from every one of us.
Hettelah a tingainae teh, taminaw ni Cathut hah a tawng awh teh, a hmu hai khoum a hmu awh nahane doeh. Atangcalah maimouh buet touh rip hoi Cathut teh kahlat e nahoeh.
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being: as also some of your own poets have said: For we his offspring are.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, la ka phuengkungnaw ni, atangcalah maimouh teh amae catoun doeh telah a phueng awh e patetlah maimouh teh Bawipa lahoi hring awh, kâroe awh, o awh.
29 Therefore, being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhood is like gold, or silver, or stone, sculptured by art and the device of man.
Maimanaw teh Cathut e canu capa lah o awh dawkvah, Cathut hah tami e thoumnae hno lahoi sui hoi sak e, talung hoi sak e meikaphawknaw hoi a kâvan telah pouk hanelah awmhoeh.
30 Yet the times of this ignorance God overlooked; but now, he commands all men everywhere to repent:
Cathut ni taminaw ni panue thai hoeh e a tue hah banglahai pouk hoeh eiteh, atuteh ram tangkuem kaawm e tami pueng hah pankângai hanelah kâ a poe toe.
31 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world, in righteousness, by the man whom he has chosen, giving to all assurance of this, by having raised him from the dead.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni amamouh ni a khoe e Bawipa lahoi yah, talaivan heh lawkceng nahane hnin sut a hmoun toe. Hote Bawipa hah duenae koehoi a thaw sak teh, tami pueng koe mitnoutnae kamcengcalah a poe toe.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; others said: We will hear you again concerning this matter.
Duenae koehoi boutthawnae kong hah a thai awh toteh, tami tangawn ni a dudam awh. A tangawn ni hmalah bout thai eisei ati awh.
33 And so Paul departed from among them.
Hattoteh Pawl teh ahnimouh koehoi a tâco.
34 But certain men associated with him, and believed; among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Hatei tami tangawn ni Pawl koe a kambawng awh teh a yuem awh. Ahnimanaw thung dawk Aripakas yung e tami buet touh lah kaawm e Dionisia hoi alouke napui Damaris tinaw hloilah napuinaw hai a bawk awh.
