Acts 17
1 And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews.
Nígbà tí wọn sì ti kọjá Amfipoli àti Apollonia, wọ́n wá sí Tẹsalonika, níbi tí Sinagọgu àwọn Júù wà.
2 And according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them from the scriptures,
Àti Paulu, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣe rẹ̀, ó wọlé tọ̀ wọ́n lọ, ni ọjọ́ ìsinmi mẹ́ta ó sì ń bá wọn fi ọ̀rọ̀ wé ọ̀rọ̀ nínú ìwé mímọ́.
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.
Ó ń túmọ̀, ó sì ń fihàn pé, Kristi kò lè ṣàìmá jìyà, kí o sì jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú; àti pé, “Jesu yìí ẹni tí èmi ń wàásù fún yin, òun ni Kristi náà.”
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.
A sì yí nínú wọn lọ́kàn padà, wọ́n sì darapọ̀ mọ́ Paulu àti Sila, bákan náà ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nínú àwọn olùfọkànsìn Helleni àti nínú àwọn obìnrin ọlọ́lá, kì í ṣe díẹ̀.
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;
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn Júù jowú, wọn sì fa àwọn jàgídíjàgan nínú àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn mọ́ra, wọ́n ko ẹgbẹ́ jọ, wọ́n sì ń dá ìlú rú; wọ́n sì kọlu ilé Jasoni, wọ́n ń fẹ́ láti mú Paulu àti Sila jáde tọ àwọn ènìyàn lọ.
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,
Nígbà tí wọn kò sì rí wọn, wọ́n wọ́ Jasoni, àti àwọn arákùnrin kan tọ àwọn olórí ìlú lọ, wọ́n ń kígbe pé, “Àwọn wọ̀nyí tí o tí dorí ayé kodò títí de ìhín yìí pẹ̀lú.
7 whom Jason has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another king, Jesus.
Àwọn ẹni tí Jasoni gbà sí ọ̀dọ̀: gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí ni o sí ń hùwà lòdì sí àṣẹ Kesari, wí pé, ọba mìíràn kan wà tí í ṣe Jesu.”
8 And they troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things.
Àwọn ènìyàn àti àwọn olórí ìlú kò ní ìfọ̀kànbalẹ̀ nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
9 And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbà onídùúró lọ́wọ́ Jasoni àti àwọn ìyókù, wọ́n fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ lọ.
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.
Lọ́gán àwọn arákùnrin sì rán Paulu àti Sila lọ ṣí Berea lóru. Nígbà tí wọ́n sí dé ibẹ̀, wọ́n wọ inú Sinagọgu àwọn Júù lọ.
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.
Àwọn Júù Berea sì ní ìyìn ju àwọn tí Tẹsalonika lọ, ní tí pé wọn fi tọkàntọkàn gbà ọ̀rọ̀ náà. Wọ́n sì ń wá inú ìwé mímọ́ lójoojúmọ́ bí nǹkan wọ̀nyí bá rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
12 Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few.
Nítorí náà púpọ̀ nínú wọn gbàgbọ́; àti nínú àwọn obìnrin Giriki ọlọ́lá, àti nínú àwọn ọkùnrin ti kì í ṣe díẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn Júù tí Tẹsalonika mọ̀ pé, Paulu ń wàásù ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run ní Berea, wọ́n wá síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, wọ́n rú àwọn ènìyàn sókè.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn arákùnrin rán Paulu jáde lọ́gán láti lọ títí de etí Òkun, ṣùgbọ́n Sila àti Timotiu dúró ní 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.
Àwọn tí ó sin Paulu wá sì mú un lọ títí dé Ateni; nígbà tí wọ́n sì gba àṣẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá fún Sila àti Timotiu pé, ki wọn ó yára tọ òun wá, wọ́n lọ.
16 But in Athens, while Paul was waiting for them, his spirit was painfully excited in him seeing the city given up to idolatry.
Nígbà tí Paulu dúró dè wọ́n ni Ateni, ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ ru nínú rẹ̀, nígbà tí ó rí pé ìlú náà kún fún òrìṣà.
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.
Nítorí náà ó ń bá àwọn Júù fi ọ̀rọ̀ wé ọ̀rọ̀ nínú Sinagọgu, àti àwọn olùfọkànsìn, àti àwọn tí ó ń bá pàdé lọ́jà lójoojúmọ́.
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].
Nínú àwọn ọ̀jọ̀gbọ́n Epikure ni àti tí àwọn Stoiki kó tì í. Àwọn kan si ń wí pé, “Kín ni aláhesọ yìí yóò rí wí?” Àwọn mìíràn sì wí pé, “Ó dàbí oníwàásù àjèjì òrìṣà, wọ́n sọ èyí nítorí Paulu ń wàásù ìròyìn ayọ̀ nípa Jesu àti àjíǹde fún wọn.”
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]?
Wọ́n sì mú un, wọ́n sì fà á lọ sí Areopagu, wọ́n wí pé, “A ha lè mọ̀ kín ni ẹ̀kọ́ tuntun tí ìwọ ń sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ yìí jẹ́?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We wish therefore to know what these things may mean.
Nítorí tí ìwọ mú ohun àjèjì wá sí etí wa, àwa sì ń fẹ́ mọ̀ kín ni ìtumọ̀ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.”
21 Now all [the] Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tell and to hear the news.
Nítorí gbogbo àwọn ará Ateni, àti àwọn àjèjì tí ń ṣe àtìpó níbẹ̀ kì í ṣe ohun mìíràn jù kí a máa sọ tàbí kí a máa gbọ́ ohun tuntun lọ.
22 And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship;
Paulu si dìde dúró láàrín Areopagu, ó ní, “Ẹ̀yin ará Ateni, mo wòye pé ní ohun gbogbo ẹ kún fún ẹ̀sìn lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
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.
Nítorí bí mo ti ń kọjá lọ, tí mo wo àwọn ohun tí ẹ̀yin ń sìn, mo sì rí pẹpẹ kan tí a kọ àkọlé yìí sí: Fún Ọlọ́run àìmọ̀. Ǹjẹ́ ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ń sìn ni àìmọ̀ òun náà ni èmi ń sọ fún yin.
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,
“Ọlọ́run náà tí ó dá ayé àti ohun gbogbo tí ń bẹ nínú rẹ̀, òun náà tí í ṣe Olúwa ọ̀run àti ayé, kì í gbé tẹmpili tí a fi ọwọ́ kọ́.
25 nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things;
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kì í fi ọwọ́ ènìyàn sìn ín, bí ẹni pé ó ń fẹ́ nǹkan, òun ni ó fi ìyè àti èémí àti ohun gbogbo fún gbogbo ènìyàn.
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,
Ó sì tí tipasẹ̀ ẹnìkan dá gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè láti tẹ̀dó sí ojú àgbáyé, ó sì ti pinnu àkókò tí a yàn tẹ́lẹ̀, àti ààlà ibùgbé wọn;
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:
Ọlọ́run ṣe eléyìí kí wọn bá le máa wa, bóyá wọn yóò lè ṣàfẹ́rí rẹ̀, kí wọn sì rí í. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ pé kò jìnnà sí olúkúlùkù wa.
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.
Nítorí nínú rẹ̀ ni àwa wà láààyè, tí a ń rìn kiri, tí a sì ní ẹ̀mí wa, bí àwọn kan nínú àwọn akéwì tí ẹ̀yin tìkára yín tí wí pé, ‘Àwa pẹ̀lú sì jẹ́ ọmọ rẹ̀.’
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.
“Ǹjẹ́ bí àwa bá jẹ́ ọmọ Ọlọ́run, kò yẹ fún wa láti rò pé, ẹni tí a wa n sìn dàbí wúrà, tàbí fàdákà, tàbí òkúta, tí a fi ọgbọ́n àti ìmọ̀ ènìyàn ya ère àwòrán rẹ̀.
30 God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ìgbà àìmọ̀ yìí ni Ọlọ́run tí fojú fò dá; ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ó pàṣẹ fún gbogbo ènìyàn níbi gbogbo láti ronúpìwàdà.
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.
Níwọ́n bí ó ti dá ọjọ́ kan, nínú èyí tí yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ ayé lódodo nípasẹ̀ ọkùnrin náà tí ó ti yàn, nígbà tí ó ti fi ohun ìdánilójú fún gbogbo ènìyàn, ní ti pé ó jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú.”
32 And when they heard [of the] resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this.
Nígbà tí wọ́n ti gbọ́ ti àjíǹde òkú, àwọn mìíràn ń ṣẹ̀fẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn mìíràn wí pé, “Àwa o tún nǹkan yìí gbọ́ lẹ́nu rẹ̀.”
33 Thus Paul went out of their midst.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Paulu sì jáde kúrò láàrín wọn.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin kan fi ara mọ́ ọn, wọ́n sì gbàgbọ́: nínú àwọn ẹni tí Dionisiu ara Areopagu wà, àti obìnrin kan tí a ń pè ni Damari àti àwọn mìíràn pẹ̀lú wọn.
