< Acts 17 >

1 And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas xiꞌkꞌow pa taq ri tinimit Anfípolis xuqujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Apolonia, xoꞌpan kꞌa pa ri tinimit Tesalónica, chilaꞌ kꞌo wi jun Sinagoga ke ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
2 And according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them from the scriptures,
Ri Pablo naqꞌatal che, xeꞌ pa ri mulim ibꞌ pa ri Sinagoga, chilaꞌ xkꞌojiꞌ wi oxibꞌ qꞌij rech uxlanem, xutzijoj ri utzij ri Dios ri tzꞌibꞌatalik xuqujeꞌ xuꞌtaqchiꞌj ri winaq chuchꞌobꞌik rij ri tzꞌibꞌatal pa ri tyoxalaj wuj.
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.
Xuqꞌalajisaj ri tzijotal loq chirij ri Mesías, chi kuriq na kꞌax xuqujeꞌ kakꞌastaj na chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ. Xubꞌij chike: Ri Jesús ri kintzijoj chiꞌwe are Mesías.
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.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel are xkita ri xbꞌix chike, xekojonik, xoꞌk che kachiꞌl ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas, xoꞌk xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ e kꞌi achyabꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ ri nim keqeleꞌn.
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;
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel xpe etzelal pa kanimaꞌ rumal ri xkꞌulmatajik, xeꞌkimulij ri winaq chubꞌanik etzelal. Xoꞌk pa rachoch ri Jasón xkitzukuj ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas rech keꞌkichararej loq keꞌkikꞌam la chikiwach ri winaq.
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,
Man xeꞌkiriq ta kꞌut chilaꞌ. Rumal riꞌ are xkijururej bꞌik ri Jasón xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj kojonelabꞌ chik che kikꞌexwach xeꞌkikꞌam bꞌik chikiwach ri qꞌatal tzij rech ri tinimit. Xkiraq kichiꞌ xkibꞌij: Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas tajin kakikoj kꞌaxkꞌolal chikixoꞌl ri winaq pa ronojel ri uwachulew e kꞌo kꞌu waral chanim tajin kakisach ri kichomabꞌal ri qawinaq.
7 whom Jason has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another king, Jesus.
Ri Jasón xuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj we winaq ri pa ri rachoch, we winaq riꞌ uꞌkꞌulel ri César rumal cher kakinaꞌtaj jun taqanel chik ubꞌiꞌ Jesús.
8 And they troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things.
Ri winaq xuqujeꞌ ri e qꞌatal taq tzij are xkita we jastaq riꞌ man xkiriq taj jas xkibꞌano.
9 And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ri e qꞌatal taq tzij xkibꞌij che ri Jasón xuqujeꞌ chike ri nikꞌaj kojonelabꞌ chi rajawaxik kakitoj jun pwaq rumal ri xkibꞌano, xkitoj kꞌut, kꞌa te riꞌ xetzoqopix bꞌik.
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.
Che ri chaqꞌabꞌ riꞌ, ri kojonelabꞌ xeꞌkitaq bꞌik ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas pa ri tinimit Berea, are xoꞌpan chilaꞌ xeꞌbꞌe pa ri Sinagoga.
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.
Ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Berea kꞌo na xetow tzij chikiwach ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Tesalónica, xkita ri utz laj tzij rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal, xuqujeꞌ qꞌij chi qꞌij xkisolij ri utzij ri Dios ri tzꞌibꞌatalik rech jeriꞌ xkilo we qas tzij ri kakitzijoj ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas o man tzij taj.
12 Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few.
E kꞌi kꞌu winaq aꞌj Israel xekojonik, xekojon xuqujeꞌ achyabꞌ, ixoqibꞌ, nimaꞌq keqeleꞌn ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
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.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun winaq aꞌj Israel ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Tesalónica, are xkito chi ri Pablo tajin kutzijoj ri utzij ri Dios pa ri tinimit Berea, xebꞌe je laꞌ xeꞌkimulij winaq rech kakibꞌan kꞌax che ri Pablo.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there.
Are xkita ri kojonelabꞌ aninaq xkitaq bꞌik ri Pablo pa ri tinimit ri kꞌo chuchiꞌ ri Plo. Ri Silas kꞌut rachiꞌl ri Timoteo xekanaj kan pa ri tinimit.
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.
Ri Pablo xkꞌam bꞌik xeꞌyoꞌq kan pa ri tinimit Atenas kumal nikꞌaj achyabꞌ kꞌa te riꞌ xetzalij loq we achyabꞌ riꞌ chikikowixik ri Silas rachiꞌl ri Timoteo rech keꞌbꞌe rukꞌ ri Pablo chubꞌanik ri kipatan. Ri Pablo kꞌo pa ri tinimit Atenas
16 But in Athens, while Paul was waiting for them, his spirit was painfully excited in him seeing the city given up to idolatry.
Ri Pablo are e rayeꞌm apanoq ri Silas rachiꞌl ri Timoteo koꞌpanik, xbꞌisonik are xril ri kikꞌiyal ri e bꞌanom taq dios ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit.
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.
Xaq jeriꞌ xeꞌ pa ri Sinagoga xutij chuqꞌabꞌ pa tzij kukꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj ri kakixiꞌj kibꞌ cho ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ ri winaq ri kakimulij kibꞌ pa ri kꞌayibꞌal.
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].
Xuchꞌoꞌqꞌ uwach ri kichomanik ri achyabꞌ epicúreo xuqujeꞌ estoico. ri sibꞌalaj kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal. Xutzijoj ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ ri ukꞌastajibꞌal wach chike, ri winaq are xkita ri xubꞌij, ri Pablo xkibꞌij: ¿Jas karaj kubꞌij we tzijonel laj achi rukꞌ ri jaljoj taq uchomanik? Nikꞌaj winaq xkibꞌij: Are kutzijoj kibꞌiꞌ e dios rech juleꞌ taq tinimit chik.
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]?
Xkikꞌam kꞌu bꞌik ri Pablo pa ri areópago chikiwach ri nimaq taq kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri tinimit, xkibꞌij che chatzijoj chaqe we kꞌakꞌ kꞌutuꞌn ri awukꞌaꞌm loq.
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We wish therefore to know what these things may mean.
Jaljoj ri jastaq ri katzijoj, kaqaj kꞌut kaqato jas kel kubꞌij ri kabꞌij.
21 Now all [the] Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tell and to hear the news.
(Ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Atenas, xuqujeꞌ ri kubꞌe solin pa ri tinimit riꞌ, kikꞌatik kakitzijoj rij kꞌakꞌ taq chomanik).
22 And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship;
Xtakꞌiꞌ kꞌu ri Pablo chikiwach ri kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri winaq xubꞌij: Achyabꞌ aꞌj Atenas, kinwilo chi sibꞌalaj jeqel ikꞌuꞌx chupam ri kibꞌano.
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.
Are tajin kinbꞌin pa ri tinimit, xinwil ri ukꞌiyal ri kꞌolibꞌal ri kixqꞌijilaꞌn wi, cho kꞌu ri jun tzujbꞌal sipanik tzꞌibꞌatal we tzij riꞌ: “Che ri Dios ri man etaꞌmatal ta uwach.” We Dios riꞌ, ri kiqijilaꞌj ri man iwetaꞌm ta uwach, areꞌ waꞌ ri kintzijoj.
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,
Are Dios ri xbꞌanow ri uwachulew, xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri kꞌo choch, are Rajaw ri kaj ulew. Areꞌ man kakꞌojiꞌ ta pa taq ri ja qꞌijilaꞌbꞌal yaktal kumal ri winaq.
25 nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things;
Man kiqꞌabꞌ ta winaq kapataninik, maj urajawaxik. Rumal cher areꞌ yoꞌwinaq kikꞌaslemal xuqujeꞌ ruxlabꞌal ronojel ri kꞌolik, xuqujeꞌ uyoꞌm ri kajawataj chike.
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,
Xa jun achi xukoj che kikꞌiyarisaxik ri winaq cho ri uwachulew. Kꞌamajaꞌ kutik ri achi are xuchomaj jas jeꞌ kubꞌan na jas jeꞌ kanoꞌjin na, xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌolibꞌal ri kakꞌojiꞌ wi na.
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:
Ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios chike ri winaq pa ronojel tinimit are chi kakitereneꞌj ri ubꞌe ri Dios, kakitzukuj ri Dios, pune man naj taj kꞌo wi ri Dios, chaqe.
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.
“Rumal re ri Dios uj kꞌaslik, uj kꞌolik, kujsalabꞌik.” Jetaq ta ne ri xkibꞌij ri xetzꞌibꞌan ri qꞌajajem tzij iwukꞌ: “Uj uj rijaꞌl ri Dios.”
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.
Saq ri xkibꞌij, rumal laꞌ man kuya taj kaqachomaj chi ri Dios, xa jun tzꞌaq ri bꞌanom kumal che qꞌana o saq pwaq kumal ri ajchakibꞌ, man che ta abꞌaj bꞌantal wi.
30 God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,
Ojer kanoq ri Dios xuꞌkuy ri winaq are xkibaꞌn we jastaq riꞌ, rumal cher man kꞌo ta ketaꞌmabꞌal, kamik kꞌut kataqanik chi konojel ri winaq rech ri uwachulew, kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx, kakiqꞌil kibꞌ che ri kimak rech ketzalij rukꞌ Areꞌ.
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.
Rumal chi ri Dios uchaꞌom jun achi ri jun qꞌijal kuqꞌat na tzij pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri winaq cho ri uwachulew, ri achi riꞌ xukꞌut chikiwach konojel ri winaq are xukꞌastajisaj chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.
32 And when they heard [of the] resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this.
E kꞌo jujun winaq xetzeꞌnik are xkito chi ri Pablo kutzijoj chi kekꞌastaj ri kaminaqibꞌ, e kꞌo xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj xkibꞌij: Jun qꞌijal chik katzijoj chaqe we ri.
33 Thus Paul went out of their midst.
Xtaniꞌ kꞌu ri Pablo che tzijonem kukꞌ ri winaq.
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.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun winaq xoꞌk che rachiꞌl, xekojonik, xkojon xuqujeꞌ jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Dionisio, jun kꞌamal bꞌe ke ri winaq, jun ixoq ubꞌiꞌ Damaris, xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj winaq chik.
