Acts 17
1 And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the 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 And according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them from 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 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.
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 joined themselves to Paul and Silas, and of the Greeks who worshipped, a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
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 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;
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 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,
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 whom Jason has received; and these all do 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 troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things.
Iumbi ni a ofisa nia kisali nai akija i makani nanso, ai ingiiwe nu mitumbo.
9 And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ze yakilaa kutula akondya kuhola i mpia nia nsailo a usunja kupuma kung'wa Yason ni auya, ai a alekee alongole.
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.
Utiku nuanso anya ndugu ai amulagiiye uPaulo nu Sila ku Beroya. Hangi nai akapika kung'wanso akalongola mi itekeelo nila Ayahudi.
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.
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 Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few.
Ku lulo idu ao ai ahuiie, aze amoli asungu niakete u upemi ukulu nua Kigiriki ni agoha idu.
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.
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 immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there.
Ku ukau, i aluna akamutwala uPaulo ku nzila a luzi, kuiti uSila nu Timotheo akasaga pang'wanso.
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.
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 But in Athens, while Paul was waiting for them, his spirit was painfully excited in him seeing the city given up 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 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.
Itigwa akitambulya mu itekeelo ni Ayahudi awo nai amukiye Itunda nu ku awo ihi nai utankanile ni enso kila luhiku mi soko.
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].
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 having taken hold on him they brought [him] to Areopagus, saying, Might we know what this new doctrine which is spoken by thee [is]?
Akamohola uPaulo nu kumuleta ku Areopago, azeligitya, “Kuhumile kulinga uwu umanyisigwa uziila nuku uligitya?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We wish therefore to know what these things may mean.
Ku nsoko ukuleta makani maziila mu akutwi itu. Ku iti kuloilwe kulinga makani aya akete ndogoelyo kii?”
21 Now all [the] Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tell and to hear the news.
(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 And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship;
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, 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.
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 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,
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 nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things;
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 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,
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 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:
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; as also some of the poets amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring.
Ki talakwe kikie, kigendaa nu kutula nu upanga nuitu, anga iti mutungi nuanyu ung'wi nua ilumbiilyo nai uligitilye 'ki atuugwa akwe.'
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.
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 God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,
Ku lulo, Itunda ai ukilagiiye i matungo ayo na upungu, kuiti itungili ulagiiye antu ihi kila kianza ile itunu.
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.
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 heard [of the] resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this.
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 Thus Paul went out of their midst.
Ze yakilaa pang'wanso, uPaulo aka aleka.
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.
Kuiti ang'wi a antu ai ihanguie nu ng'wenso akahuiila, waze umoli uDionisio Mwareopago, nu musungu nuitangwaa Damari ni auya palungwi ni enso.
