Acts 17
1 And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews.
Ye vakilile ifikaja ifya mu Amfipoli ni Apolonia, vakisile mpaaka mulikaja lya Thesalonie lino lilyale nava sinagogi ava Yahudi.
2 And according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them from the scriptures,
Ndavule lulyale lwiho lwa Paulo, alyalutike kuvanave, na kunsiki ughwa fighono fiitatu ifya Sabati pe akapuling'ana na voope vwimila u vulembe.
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.
Aava ikuvavalulila uvulembi na piuvolelela kuuti, lulyanoghile ukiliste kupumuka kange kusyuka kange kuhuma kuvafue. Akavavula, “U Yesu uju niuvavula imola sa mwene ghwe kilisite”
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.
Vamo avayahudi vaaghelilue na pilungana nu Paulo nu Sila, palikimo nava Giriki vano vikufunya Kwan Nguluve, avamama vinga avagholofu ni kipugha ikivaha ikya vanhu.
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;
Looli vamo ava Yahudi vano navalyitike, vano valyamemile igila, valyalutile kulighulilo na pikuvatola avanhu vamo napikuvatola avahosi, vakakong'ania ilipugha lya vanhu palikimo, na kukwambusia ulunjughanjugha mu likaja, kange vakajigulukila inyumba ja Jason, vakalondagha vavakole u Paulo nu Sila ulwakuuti vavalete pavulongolo pa vanhu.
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,
Loli yevavakunilue vakankola u Yasoni navamo avanyoloolo avenge na pikuvatwala pavulongolo avagoyo ava mulikaja pe vaajeghelagha, “Avaghosi ava vano vasyetulinie iisi vafiile mpauno kange,
7 whom Jason has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another king, Jesus.
Avaghosi ava vino vakambilivue nu Yasoni vinangania indaghilo ja Kaisari, viiti kuale uNtua ujunge juno itambulivua Yesu”
8 And they troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things.
Ilipugha lya vagoyo vakikaja ye vapulike isio, pevakava night ngananio.
9 And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ye vamalile kutola indalama sino siling'ine vuloleli kuhuma kwa Yasoni na vange, vakavalekesia valutaghe.
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.
Ikilo jila avanyalukolo vakamwomwile u Paulo nu Sila ku Beroya. Ye vafikile kula vakaluta munyumba ija kufunyila ija va 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.
Avanhu vala valyale vumofu kukila avanhu vala ava ku Thesalonike, ulwakuva valitavuile kukulyupila ilisio muluhala luvanave, kulolela amalembe ifighono fyooni ulwa kuuti valole kuuti amasio ghano ghalyajovilue fyeghalivuo.
12 Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few.
Ku uluo avinga muvanave valyitike, mwevakava nava kimama avanyangelo imbaha isa ki Giriki navava ghosi vinga.
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.
Looli ava Yahudi ava ku Thesalonike yevakaguile kuuti u Paulo ipulisia ilisio lya Nguluve ukuo kuku Beroya, vakaluta ukuo na kuhovalesia kange kutengula ulunjughanjugha kuvanhu.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there.
Ng'aning'ani, avanyalukolo vakan'twala u Paulo kusila ija lisumbe, looli u Sila nu Timotheo vakasighala pala.
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.
Avanyalukolo vala vano vakan'twalile u Paulo vakaluta naghwope m'paka ku Athene, ye vamulekile u Paulo kula, valyupile indaghilo kuhuma kwa mwene kuuti, u Sila nu Timotheo visaghe kwa mwene ng'ani ng'ani kyongo.
16 But in Athens, while Paul was waiting for them, his spirit was painfully excited in him seeing the city given up to idolatry.
Unsiki ghuno vakavaghulilagha kula ku Then, inumbula ja mwene vakajikalisie mun'kate mwa mwene ndavule alyalolile ilikaja ndavule ghulyamemile ifihwani finga.
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.
Pa uluo vakapuling'ana munyumba ijakufunyia nava Yahudi vano vakifunyagha kwa Nguluve na kuvooni vaala pano vakatang'ine navoope ifighono fyooni kulighulilo.
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].
Looli vamo ava Falsafa ava ku va Waepikureo nava Wastoiko vakapela. Navange vakaati, “Kye kiki kino ijova unjovaji un'debe? Avenge vakaati, “Jihufia idalikila imola ja Nguluve umesia,” ulwakuuva idalikila imola ija Yesu na kusyuka.
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]?
Vakan'tola u Paulo na pikuntwala ku Areopago, vakaati, “Tukagula kukulumanya ululaghilo ulu ulupia luno ghujova?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We wish therefore to know what these things may mean.
Ulwakuva ghuleta amasio amapia mumbughulutu situ. Kurt uluo tulonda kukagula kuuti amasio agha ghalindani?”
21 Now all [the] Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tell and to hear the news.
(Na vaanhu vooni ava ku Athene palikimo navahesia vano pwevale kuvanave, vaghumanyile unsiki ghuvanave ughu kujova na kupulikisia ilisio ilipia.)
22 And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship;
Pa uluo u Paulo akima pakate na kate pa vaanhu ava ku Areopago na kuuti, “Umue mwe vanhu vaku Athene, nikuvagha kuuti muli vaanhu vano vikela kwitika kumanguluve,
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.
Ulwakuva munenihingile une na kulola ku ifiinu finu fino mukufunya, nighavwene amasio ghano ghalembilue ku fimo ifitekelelo fiinu, ghiiti, “KWA NGULUVE JUNO NAIMANYIKIKA”. Pa uluo, ujuo juno mukufunya kisila kukagula, ghwe ujuo juno nikuvavula umue.
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,
U Nguluve juno alyavumbile Lisa ni kinu kino mwekilimwekili mun'kate, ulwakuva ghwe Mutwa ghwa vulanga ni iisi, naiwesia pikukala munyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila sino sitendilue namavoko.
25 nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things;
Kange na ivombua na mavoko ulwakuuti ilonda ikiinu kivanave umwene jujuo ikuvapela avanhu uvwimi nu mwuuja ni fiinu fyooni ifiinge.
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,
Kuhumila u munhu jumo, aalyavombile mukisina kyooni ikya vanhu vano vikukalapamaso agha iisi, pe akavavikila amasiki nu vusililo uvwa fisala fino fikukala.
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:
Mu uluo, vilondua kukun'kagula unguluve, kuuti van'fikile na kukumwagha, kyang'ani nalikutali nambe nhu jumo ghweeni.
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.
Kwa mwene tukukala, tughenda nakuva nu vwimi vwitu, ndavule un'tunzi ghwinu ughwa lishairi yeatileyeatile 'tulivaholua va mwene.'
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 uluo, ndavule tulivaholua va Nguluve, nalunoghile kusagha ilitekelo lilindavule isahabu, ni shaba, na mavue, fihwani kino kikahongolilue vunofu namasaghe gha vanhu.
30 God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,
Mu uluo, u Nguluve alyjikile Kimmie amasiki agha vuyasu, looli lino ilaghila avanhu vooni valate.
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.
Ulwakuva avikile ikighono kind alyale ikujihigha iisi ija kyang'ani kwakwa munhu juno alya n'saluile. U Nguluve alyahumisie uvwakyang'ani kwa munhu uju kange pala umunhu juno alyansyusisie akahumile kuvafue.
32 And when they heard [of the] resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this.
Avanhu va ku Athene yevapulike imola ija kusyuka kuvafue, navala vamo vakan'syojuile u Paulo, avenge vakaati “Tukukupulikisia kange kumola iji”
33 Thus Paul went out of their midst.
Apuo, u Paulo akavaleka.
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.
Looli avanhu vamo valyale ikinu kimo vakitika, pwe akale u Dionisio Mwereopago, nu mama Juno itambulua Damari na vange palikimo navene.
