Acts 17
1 And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews.
Kane gisekalo Amfipoli gi Apolonia, ne gitundo Thesalonika, kuma ne nitie sinagogi moro mar jo-Yahudi.
2 And according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them from the scriptures,
Kaka Paulo ne jatimo pile, ne odonjo e od lemono, kendo kuom Sabato adek moluwore, nopimo kodgi wach kuom weche mondiki e Muma.
3 opening and laying down that the Christ must have suffered and risen up from among the dead, and that this is the Christ, Jesus whom I announce to you.
Noleronigi tiendgi kendo nomiyo gingʼeyo gadiera ni Kristo ne nyaka sandi eka bangʼe ochier oa kuom joma otho. Nowachonegi niya, “Yesu ma ayalonuni e Kristo.”
4 And some of them believed, and joined themselves to Paul and Silas, and of the Greeks who worshipped, a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
Jomoko kuom jo-Yahudi ne wach oywayo kendo ne giyie mi giluwo Paulo gi Sila, mana kaka jo-Yunani moluoro Nyasaye mathoth kaachiel gi mon moko mongʼere bende noyie.
5 But the Jews having been stirred up to jealousy, and taken to [themselves] certain wicked men of the lowest rabble, and having got a crowd together, set the city in confusion; and having beset the house of Jason sought to bring them out to the people;
To jo-Yahudi mamoko ne nyiego omako; omiyo negidhi gichoko acheje moko mane bayo e chiro kanyo, eka negichoko oganda maduongʼ mar joma achejego, kendo negichako lweny e dalano. Ne gimwomore e od Jason, ka gimanyo Paulo gi Sila, mondo gigolgi oko ni oganda.
6 and not having found them, dragged Jason and certain brethren before the politarchs, crying out, These [men] that have set the world in tumult, are come here also,
To kane ok giyudogi, ne giywayo Jason kod jowete moko e nyim jotend dalano. Negigoyo koko kagiwacho niya, “Jok mosekelo chandruok e piny kuonde duto koro osechopo ka,
7 whom Jason has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another king, Jesus.
kendo Jason-ni ema oserwakogi e ode. Giduto gidagi luwo chike Kaisar, kagiwacho ni nitie ruoth machielo, miluongo ni Yesu.”
8 And they troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things.
Kane giwinjo wechegi, oganda mane osechokore kanyo kod jotelo mag dalano nogoyo koko.
9 And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Jotelogo noketo ne Jason gi joge mamoko nengo mar singruok ni ok ginichak gikel koko kendo, bangʼe ne giweyogi gidhi.
10 But the brethren immediately sent away, in the night, Paul and Silas to Berea; who, being arrived, went away into the synagogue of the Jews.
Kane piny oimore, jowete nooro Paulo gi Sila Berea. Kane gichopo, negidonjo e sinagogi mar jo-Yahudi.
11 And these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, receiving the word with all readiness of mind, daily searching the scriptures if these things were so.
To jo-Berea ne nigi kido maber moloyo jo-Thesalonika, nikech negirwako wach gi chuny mamor, kendo neginono Ndiko pile ka pile, mondo gine ane ka gik mane Paulo wacho gin adier.
12 Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few.
Jo-Yahudi mathoth noyie, kaachiel gi mon mathoth ma jo-Yunani mongʼere, kod jo-Yunani mangʼeny machwo.
13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was announced in Berea also by Paul, they came there also, stirring up the crowds.
Ka jo-Yahudi manodak Thesalonika nowinjo ni Paulo ne yalo wach Nyasaye Berea, negidhi kuno bende, kendo negichoko oganda mondo ochak koko, ka giketho chuny ji.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there.
Jowete nooro Paulo e dho nam ma ok odeko, ka Sila gi Timotheo to jodong Berea.
15 But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and, having received a commandment to Silas and Timotheus, that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed.
Joma ne odhi gi Paulo notere nyaka Athene, bangʼe negidok Berea mi ginyiso Sila gi Timotheo yo mane ginyalo chopogo ir Paulo mapiyo.
16 But in Athens, while Paul was waiting for them, his spirit was painfully excited in him seeing the city given up to idolatry.
Kane Paulo pod rito Sila gi Timotheo Athene, chunye nosin kane oneno kaka jo-dalano noketo chunygi kuom lamo kido mag nyiseche manono.
17 He reasoned therefore in the synagogue with the Jews, and those who worshipped, and in the market-place every day with those he met with.
Omiyo nowuoyo kod jo-Yahudi gi jo-Yunani moluoro Nyasaye e sinagogi. Bende pile pile nowuoyo gi ji mane budho e chiro e dalano.
18 But some also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers attacked him. And some said, What would this chatterer say? and some, He seems to be an announcer of foreign demons, because he announced the glad tidings of Jesus and the resurrection [to them].
Jorieko moko mag Epikurio kod Stoiko nochako mino kode wach. Moko kuomgi nopenjo niya, “Angʼo ma jawach thoreni temo wacho?” To moko nowacho niya, “Chal ka gima oyalo kuom nyiseche moko ma welo.” Negiwacho kamano nikech Paulo ne yalo kuom Yesu kendo kuom chier.
19 And having taken hold on him they brought [him] to Areopagus, saying, Might we know what this new doctrine which is spoken by thee [is]?
Eka ne gikawe mi gidhi kode kar romo margi miluongo ni Areopago, bangʼe gipenje niya, “Donge dinyiswae tiend puonj manyien mikelo kaeni?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We wish therefore to know what these things may mean.
Isako itwa gi puonj manyien mapok wawinjo, omiyo wadwaro ngʼeyo tiendgi.”
21 Now all [the] Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tell and to hear the news.
(Jo-Athene duto kod jopinje mamoko mane odak kanyo nohero ketho sechegi kanyo ka gigoyo mbaka kendo giwinjo paro gi rieko manyien.)
22 And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship;
Eka Paulo nochungʼ e nyim chokruok mane ni ei Areopago mochako wuoyo kowacho niya, “Un jo-Athene, ayudo ni un joma ohero lemo e ngimau duto.
23 for, passing through and beholding your shrines, I found also an altar on which was inscribed, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye reverence, not knowing [him], him I announce to you.
Nikech kane awuotho kalworora ka anono malongʼo kuondeu mag lemo, to ne ayudo nyaka kendo mar misango mondikie niya, ‘Ne nyasaye ma ok ongʼe’. Koro gima ulamo kaka gima ok ongʼe ema adwaro yalonu.
24 The God who has made the world and all things which are in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
“Nyasaye mane ochweyo piny kaachiel gi gik moko duto manie iye en Ruodh polo gi piny, kendo ok odak ei hekalu ma oger gi lwet dhano,
25 nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things;
bende ok tine gi lwet dhano ka gima odwaro gimoro kuom dhano nikech en owuon ema ochiwo ne dhano, ngima gi muya mi yweyo kod gik moko duto.
26 and has made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined ordained times and the boundaries of their dwelling,
Koa kuom dhano achiel, nochweyo ogendini duto mag ji, mondo gipongʼ piny duto, kendo en ema oketo ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kar romb higni monego odag-go e piny, kod kuonde monego gidagie.
27 that they may seek God; if indeed they might feel after him and find him, although he is not far from each one of us:
Nyasaye notimo ma mondo ji obed gi chuny madware kendo mondo kanyalore to gichop kuma entie, mi giyude, kata obedo ni ok en mabor kodwa.
28 for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring.
‘Wangima nikech En, kendo wawuotho nikech En, kendo wantie nikech En.’ En mana kaka jowendu moko osewacho ni, ‘Wan bende wan kothe.’
29 Being therefore [the] offspring of God, we ought not to think that which is divine to be like gold or silver or stone, [the] graven form of man's art and imagination.
“Ka wan koth Nyasaye kamano, to koro ok onego wapar ni Nyasaye chalo gi dhahabu kata gi fedha kata kidi, ma gin mana kido ma dhano oloso kendo oketo gi pache.
30 God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,
E kinde mokalo Nyasaye ne ok odewo fuwo machal kamano, to koro sani osegolo chik ni ji duto kamoro amora mondo olokre owe richo.
31 because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by [the] man whom he has appointed, giving the proof [of it] to all [in] having raised him from among [the] dead.
Nikech oseketo chiengʼ mobiro ngʼadoe bura ne piny duto gadiera, kokalo kuom ngʼat moseyiero. Bende osenyiso ji malongʼo ni obiro timo mano ni ji duto, nikech nochiere oa kuom joma otho.”
32 And when they heard [of the] resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this.
Kane jogo owinjo ka Paulo wuoyo kuom wach chier aa kuom joma otho, moko kuomgi nojare, to moko to nowachone niya, “Wabiro dwaro mondo iwuo kodwa kendo e wachni.”
33 Thus Paul went out of their midst.
Eka Paulo nowuok moweyo joburago.
34 But some men joining themselves to him believed; among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.
Ji moko manok nodok kor Paulo, mi giyie kuom Kristo. Achiel kuom joma noyie ne en Dionusio, mane en jabuch Areopago, gi dhako moro ma nyinge Damaris, kod ji mamoko manok.
