Acts 17
1 Now when they had walked through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they arrived at Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Hangi nai akakila mu isali nia Amfipoli ni Apolonia, ai azile kupikiila kisali nika Thesalonike naza likoli i tekeelo nila Ayahudi.
2 Then Paul, according to custom, entered to them. And for three Sabbaths he disputed with them about the Scriptures,
Anga ni yili ntendo ang'wa Paulo, wakalongola kitalao, nu ku itungo nila mahiku ataatu nia luhiku nula kusupya ai witambuuye nienso migilya a ukilisigwa.
3 interpreting and concluding that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead, and that “this is the Jesus Christ, whom I am announcing to you.”
Ai watulaa uku akunukuilya u ukilisigwa nu kuaganuila kina, ai imutakile uKristo wagishe ni uugwa kiuka hangi kupuma ku ashi. Ai uatambuie, “Uyu uYesu nikumutambuila i nkani niakwe yuyo Kristo.”
4 And some of them believed and were joined to Paul and Silas, and a great number of these were from the worshipers and the Gentiles, and not a few were noble women.
Ang'wi nia Ayahudi ai apemekile nu kihanguila nu Paulo nu Sila, palung'wi ni Agiriki akulya Itunda, asungu idu aokole ni idale ikulu nila antu.
5 But the Jews, being jealous, and joining with certain evildoers among the common men, caused a disturbance, and they stirred up the city. And taking up a position near the house of Jason, they sought to lead them out to the people.
Kuiti ang'wi a Ayahudi ni shanga ahuiie, nai izuiwe nu wilu, ai alongoe ki isoko nu kuahola ang'wi a antu ni abibi, akalundiila iumbi nila antu palung'wi, nu kusasha minyomo mu kisali, uugwa akaligilinkiilya ito nilang'wa Jason, aze aloilwe kua amba uPaulo nu Sila iti kualeta ntongeela ya antu.
6 And when they had not found them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers to the rulers of the city, crying out: “For these are the ones who have stirred up the city. And they came here,
Kuiti nai aka aulya, ai amuambile u Yasoni ni ang'wi a anyandugu auya nu kuatwala ntogeela a aofisa nia kisali, azekua iyogo, “Awa i agoha naza aupiue u unkumbigulu apika kupikiila kunu ga.
7 and Jason has received them. And all these men act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.”
Agoha awa naza asingiigwe nu Yasoni akulitumuila ilagiilyo lang'wa Kaisari, akuligitya ukoli mutemi mungiiza nuitangwaa Yesu.”
8 And they incited the people. And the rulers of the city, upon hearing these things,
Iumbi ni a ofisa nia kisali nai akija i makani nanso, ai ingiiwe nu mitumbo.
9 and having received an explanation from Jason and the others, released them.
Ze yakilaa kutula akondya kuhola i mpia nia nsailo a usunja kupuma kung'wa Yason ni auya, ai a alekee alongole.
10 Yet truly, the brothers promptly sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. And when they had arrived, they entered the synagogue of the Jews.
Utiku nuanso anya ndugu ai amulagiiye uPaulo nu Sila ku Beroya. Hangi nai akapika kung'wanso akalongola mi itekeelo nila Ayahudi.
11 But these were more noble than those who were at Thessalonica. They received the Word with all enthusiasm, daily examining the Scriptures to see if these things were so.
Antu awo ai atula akete u ulingi ukulu kukila i antu awo nia ku Thesalonike, ku nsoko ai akete nu ukondaniili nua kusingiilya u lukani ku mahala ao, nu kupukania u ukilisigwa kila mahiku iti kihenga anga ize imakani nai aganuwe uu nili.
12 And indeed, many believed among them, as well as not a few among the honorable Gentile men and women.
Ku lulo idu ao ai ahuiie, aze amoli asungu niakete u upemi ukulu nua Kigiriki ni agoha idu.
13 Then, when the Jews of Thessalonica had realized that the Word of God was also preached by Paul at Beroea, they went there also, stirring up and disturbing the multitude.
Kuiti Ayahudi nia ku Thesalonike nai akalinga kina uPaulo ukutanantya lukani lang'wa Itunda uko ku Beroya, ai alongoe kuko nu kukinyiila ni uugwa nu kandiilya minyomo ku antu.
14 And then the brothers quickly sent Paul away, so that he might travel by sea. But Silas and Timothy remained there.
Ku ukau, i aluna akamutwala uPaulo ku nzila a luzi, kuiti uSila nu Timotheo akasaga pang'wanso.
15 Then those who were leading Paul brought him as far as Athens. And having received an order from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him quickly, they set out.
Awo i anya ndugu nai amutwae uPaulo ai alongoe nu ng'wenso kupikiila ku Athene, nai akamuleka uPaulo kuko, ai asingiiye i malagiilyo kupuma kitalakwe kina, uSila nu Timotheo apembye kitalakwe ku ukau ni ihumikile.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred up within him, seeing the city given over to idolatry.
Ni itungo nai ualindiie uko ku Athene, nkolo akwe ikatakigwa mukati akwe ku iti nai wihengile i kisali nai kizue i adudu idu.
17 And so, he was disputing with the Jews in the synagogue, and with the worshipers, and in public places, throughout each day, with whomever was there.
Itigwa akitambulya mu itekeelo ni Ayahudi awo nai amukiye Itunda nu ku awo ihi nai utankanile ni enso kila luhiku mi soko.
18 Now certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were arguing with him. And some were saying, “What does this sower of the Word want to say?” Yet others were saying, “He seems to be an announcer for new demons.” For he was announcing to them Jesus and the Resurrection.
Kuiti ang'wi a alingi nia a Aepikureo ni Astoiko akamukungiilya. Ni auya akaligitya, “Ingi ki ntuni ukukiligitya uyu u muligitya nu mudabu? iAuya akaligitya, “Yigeelekile ukutanantya nkani niang'wa Itunda muziila.” ku nsoko ukutanantya nkani yang'wa Yesu nu wiukigwa.
19 And apprehending him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: “Are we able to know what this new doctrine is, about which you speak?
Akamohola uPaulo nu kumuleta ku Areopago, azeligitya, “Kuhumile kulinga uwu umanyisigwa uziila nuku uligitya?
20 For you bring certain new ideas to our ears. And so we would like to know what these things mean.”
Ku nsoko ukuleta makani maziila mu akutwi itu. Ku iti kuloilwe kulinga makani aya akete ndogoelyo kii?”
21 (Now all the Athenians, and arriving visitors, were occupying themselves with nothing other than speaking or hearing various new ideas.)
(Ni antu ihi nia ku Athene palung'wi ni aziila ni amoli kitalao, itumila itungo nilao ang'wi mu uligitya nu kutegeelya migulya a ikani ni iziila.)
22 But Paul, standing in the middle of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are rather superstitious.
Ku lulo uPaulo akimika pakati a antu nia ku Areopago nu kuligitya, Unyenye antu aku Athene, kihenga kina ingi antu a ikumbiko ku kila mpyani,
23 For as I was passing by and noticing your idols, I also found an altar, on which was written: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, what you worship in ignorance, this is what I am preaching to you:
Kuiti mu ukili nua ki talane nu kugoza i intu nianyu nia kipoelya, nihengile makani nakilisigwe mu ling'wi ikumbikilo lanyu, likuligitya “KUNG'WA ITUNDA NI SHANGA UKUMUKILE.” Itigwa, nuanso ni mukumipolya ize shanga mulingile, yuyo niku mupikilya unyenye.
24 the God who made the world and all that is in it, the One who is the Lord of heaven and earth, who does not live in temples made with hands.
Itunda nai u umbile ihi ni kila i kintu ni kikoli mukati, kunsoko ingi Mukulu nua ilunde ni ihi, shanga uhumile kikie mu matekeelo nazipigwe ni mikono.
25 Neither is he served by the hands of men, as if in need of anything, since it is he who gives to all things life and breath and all else.
Hangi shanga wi ailigwa ga ni mikono a ana adamu anga kina uloilwe kintu kitalao, kuiti u ng'wenso mukola wi inkiilya antu upanga ni mihupo ni intu ingiiza yihi.
26 And he has made, out of one, every family of man: to live upon the face of the entire earth, determining the appointed seasons and the limits of their habitation,
Ku kiila muntu ung'wi, ai uzipilye u ingu wihi ni antu ni ikiie migulya a usu nui ihi, hangi waka aikilya matungo ni mimbi mu nkika ni ikiie.
27 so as to seek God, if perhaps they may consider him or find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
Ku iti, atakiwe kumuduma Itunda, ni tai amupikiile nu kumulija, hangi ku kulu kuulu wikutili kuli ni kila ung'wi nu itu.
28 ‘For in him we live, and move, and exist.’ Just as some of your own poets have said. ‘For we are also of his family.’
Ki talakwe kikie, kigendaa nu kutula nu upanga nuitu, anga iti mutungi nuanyu ung'wi nua ilumbiilyo nai uligitilye 'ki atuugwa akwe.'
29 Therefore, since we are of the family of God, we must not consider gold or silver or precious stones, or the engravings of art and of the imagination of man, to be a representation of what is Divine.
Ku lulo anga itule usese ingi atuugwa ang'wa Itunda, shanga kutakiwe kusiga kina u itunda ingi anga zahabu, ang'wi shaba, ang'wi magwe, adudu nu sesilwe ku ulingi ni masigo a antu.
30 And indeed, God, having looked down to see the ignorance of these times, has now announced to men that everyone everywhere should do penance.
Ku lulo, Itunda ai ukilagiiye i matungo ayo na upungu, kuiti itungili ulagiiye antu ihi kila kianza ile itunu.
31 For he has appointed a day on which he will judge the world in equity, through the man whom he has appointed, offering faith to all, by raising him from the dead.”
Iki ingi ku nsoko uikile luhiku nuika milamula ihi ku tai ane ku muntu naiza ai umuholanilye. Itunda ai upumilye i kulu kuulu na mumtu uyu ku kila muntu pang'wanso nai umiukilye kupuma kuashi.
32 And when they had heard about the Resurrection of the dead, indeed, some were derisive, while others said, “We will listen to you about this again.”
Ni antu a Athene nai akija inkani nia kiukigwa ku ashi, ang'wi ao akamukuna uPaulo, ila i auya akaligitya, “Ku ukutegeelya hangi ku nkani nia ikani ili.”
33 So Paul departed from their midst.
Ze yakilaa pang'wanso, uPaulo aka aleka.
34 Yet truly, certain men, adhering to him, did believe. Among these were also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Kuiti ang'wi a antu ai ihanguie nu ng'wenso akahuiila, waze umoli uDionisio Mwareopago, nu musungu nuitangwaa Damari ni auya palungwi ni enso.
