Acts 17
1 When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Bhakapitilanjeje ku Ampipoli na ku Apolonia, gubhapitengenenje mpaka ku Teshalonike, kweneko jashinkupagwa shinagogi ja Bhayaudi.
2 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
A Pauli malinga nkubho gwabho gubhailundile, gubhakungulwishe nabhonji ga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kwa Mobha ga Pumulila gatatu gwangali pumulila.
3 explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,” he declared.
Bhalilunguya na talashiya kuti yashinkupinjikwa a Yeshu bhapotekwe na bhayushe kukopoka kubhawilenje. Na kuti, “A Yeshu bhungunnungushiyangabho ni a Kilishitu.”
4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few leading women.
Bhananji munkumbi gwabhonji gubhakulupalilenje nigubhailundilenje na a Pauli na a Shila. Na Bhagiliki bhabhagwinji bhaajogopangaga a Nnungu na bhanabhakongwe bhakulungwanji, gubhailundilenje.
5 The Jews, however, became jealous. So they brought in some troublemakers from the marketplace, formed a mob, and sent the city into an uproar. They raided Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas, hoping to bring them out to the people.
Ikabheje Bhayaudi gubhakwetenje lupimililo, gubhapolekenje bhandunji bhangalinginji bha mmbone, gubhatendilenje ulendo nigubhakumbuyenje nnjasha pa shilambo powe. Gubhapitengenenje ku nyumba ja a Yashoni bhaliganishiyanga kuti kweneko shibhaapatanje a Pauli na a Shila nkupinga bhaapelekanje ku lugwinjili lwa bhandu.
6 But when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have now come here,
Ikabheje bhangaapatanga, kwa nneyo gubhaakwekwetenje a Yashoni na bhakilishitu bhananji mpaka ku bhakulungwanji bha shilambo, bhalijobhelanga bhalinkutinji, “Bhene bhandunjibha bhanapuganyanga shilambolyo na nnaino bhaikengenenje na kukuno.
7 and Jason has welcomed them into his home. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, named Jesus!”
A Yashoni bhashikwaposhelanga kunngwabho. Bhowe bhanakananga Malajilo ga a Kaishali, bhakutinji. ‘Bhapali bhakulungwa bhana bhashemwa a Yeshu.’”
8 On hearing this, the crowd and city officials were greatly disturbed.
Kwa gene malobhego, bhakulungwanji bha shilambo na lugwinjili lwa bhandunji gubhatengukenje.
9 And they collected bond from Jason and the others, and then released them.
Gubhaatendilenje a Yashoni na ashaajabhonji bhowe bhashoyanje mmbiya, kungai gubhaaleshilenje bhajabhulangane.
10 As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
Ikaishileje shilo, bhakilishitu bhala gubhaapelekenje a Pauli na a Shila mpaka ku Bheloya. Bhakaikanganeje kweneko gubhajinjilenje nshinagogi ja Bhayaudi.
11 Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
Bhene bhandunjibho pubhalinginji bhanguja kupunda bha ku Teshalonike bhala. Gubhaliposhelenje lilobhe lila kwa ntima gwa mmbone, gubhakaguyenje Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kila lyubha, nkupinga bhalolanje ibhaga ibheleketwa na a Pauli na a Shila ili ya kweli.
12 As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.
Bhabhagwinji munkumbi gwabhonji mula bhakukulupalilangaga na bhanabhakongwe Bhagiliki bhakwetenje itengu na bhanabhalume bhabhagwinji.
13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God in Berea, they went there themselves to incite and agitate the crowds.
Ikabheje Bhayaudi bha ku Teshalonike bhakapilikananjeje kuti a Pauli bhanalungaya lilobhe lya a Nnungu ku Bheloya, gubhapitengenenje kweneko, gubhatandubhenje kutenda nnjasha na kukwiya lugwinjili lwa bhandu.
14 The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.
Shangu bhakilishitu bhala gubhaapelesheyenje a Pauli mpaka kunyenje litanda, ikabheje a Shila na a Timoteo gubhalepekenje ku Bheloya.
15 Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then returned with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
Ikabheje bhaapelesheyenje a Pauli bhala, gubhaapelekenje mpaka ku Atene. Kungai, gubhabhujilenje na ntenga kukopoka kwa a Pauli gwa kuti, a Shila na a Timoteo bhanakabhanje kwaakagula ku Atene.
16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply disturbed in his spirit to see that the city was full of idols.
A Pauli bhali nkwaalindililanga a Shila na a Timoteo ku Ateneko, yashinkwaashima muntima gwabho bhakaibhoneje yanamu ya ashinnungu igumbele shene shilambo shila.
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace with those he met each day.
Bhai, nshinagogi a Pauli bhatendaga kunguluka na Bhayaudi na bhandunji bhana bhaajogopangaga a Nnungu na kila lyubha bhatendaga tenda nkungulu gwa palugwinjili na bhandunji bhobhowe bhaibhoneyangaga penepo.
18 Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was proclaiming the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.
Na bhananji bhakagulangaga majiganyo ga a Epikulo na a Ashitoiki gubhataukenje. Bhananji bhalinkutinji, “Bhapinga bheleketa nndi bhangumbabha?” Bhananji gubhashiteanje, “Paabhoneka mbuti bhanalunguya ga ashi nnungu bha shijeni.” Pabha a Pauli bhatendaga lunguya ga a Yeshu na ga yuka.
19 So they took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, where they asked him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
Kwa nneyo gubhaatolilenje a Pauli gubhaapelekenje ku lukumbi lwa ashikalongolele bha shilambo lwashemwaga Aleopago, gubhashitenje, “Tunapinga tugamanye malombolelo ga majiganyo genu ga shijeni gunkulunguyaga.
20 For you are bringing some strange notions to our ears, and we want to know what they mean.”
Indu ina itupilikene mmakutu getu inabhoneka ya shijeni kungwetu. Tunapinga tumumanye yene indui malombolelo gakwe nndi.”
21 Now all the Athenians and foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing more than hearing and articulating new ideas.
Pabha bhandunji bha ku Atene na bhandunji bhananji bhatamanganaga kweneko bhatendaga pinganga kutagulilana na pilikanishiya ngani ja indu ya shijeni.
22 Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious.
Bhai, a Pauli gubhajimi pa lukumbi lwa Aleopago, gubhashite, “Mmashilambo bha pa Atene! Pungubhona kuti mmanganyanji nnatolelelanga kwa kaje ngani ja dini,
23 For as I walked around and examined your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore what you worship as something unknown, I now proclaim to you.
pabha punapitaga ako na koko nikwibhona indu yenunji munkujujilanga Nnungu, njikushibhona shitala shimo shijandishwe. ‘Kwa a Nunngu bhutukakwamanya.’ Bhai, nne ngunakunnungushiyanga, ga bhene a Nnungu bhunkwaatindibhalilanga gwangali kwaamanyabho.
24 The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands.
“A Nnungu, bhapengenye shilambolyo na indu yowe ili nkati jakwe, bhashibha Bhakulungwa bha kunnungu na pa shilambolyo, bhalabho bhakatama mmajumba ga jujila Nnungu gashenjilwe na bhandunji.
25 Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
Na wala shakwa shibhaapinga mundu abhatendele mbuti shipali shibhaaloleya, pabha bhenebho ni bhakwaapanganga bhandu bhowe gumi na kwaapanganga kila shindu.
26 From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.
Na kukoposhela kuka mundu jumo a Nnungu gubhapengenye bhandunji bha ilambo yowe nikwaatendanga bhajenelanje pa shilambolyo. Bhali bhajibhishile miongwe na mipika ja mmbali ya ilambo ya tama bhene bhandunjibho.
27 God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.
“Bhashinkutenda nneyo, nkupinga bhandunji bha ilambo yowe bhaaloleyanje nkali kwaapapaya papaya, iishile pakwabhona. Nkali nneyo, a Nnungu bhangataliya pubhali tome na uwe.
28 ‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’
Malinga shabhelekete mundu jumo, ‘Pabha mututama nkati jabho, tunajima jima, nikola gumi!’ Na malinga bhaajimba bhenunji bhana shibhashite lugulanga. ‘Uwe twaashibhana bhabho’
29 Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.
Bhai ibhaga, uwe tuli twaashibhana bhabho a Nnungu, tukaapinjikwa kuganishiya kuti Unnungu ulandana na shaabhu, eu ela eu liganga, indu ibheywa kwa lunda lwa bhandunji.
30 Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all people everywhere to repent.
Bhai, bhukala gwa ubhelu gwa bhandunji gula a Nnungu bhashinkutenda mbuti bhakakuubhona. Ikabheje nnaino, a Nnungu bhanalajila bhandunji bhowe bha kila mmbali bhaipetanje.
31 For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”
Pabha bhabhishile lyubha limo lya ukumula bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo gwangali kummonela mundu, kupitila mundu jumo jubhanng'agwile. A Nnungu bhashikong'ondela genego kwa kunnyuya jwene mundujo kukopoka kubhawilenje!”
32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.”
Bhai, bhakaapilikananjeje a Pauli bhalibheleketa ngani ja yuywa bhawilenje, bhananji gubhatendilenje mbenji, ikabheje bhananji gubhashitenje, “Tunapinga tupilikanishiye kabhili jene nganiji.”
33 At that, Paul left the Areopagus.
A Pauli gubhajabhwile, gubhaaleshilenje pa lukumbi pala.
34 But some joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others who were with them.
Ikabheje bhandunji bhana gubhaakagwilenje na gubhakulupalilenje. Munkumbimo bhaapali a Dionishi bhaaliji bha munkumbi gwa Aleopago na bhakongwe bhamo lina lyabho a Damali na bhananji.
