Acts 17
1 And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Hahoi teh Pawl hoi Silas teh Amphipolis kho hoi Apollonia kho a tapuet roi teh Thesalon kho a pha roi. Hote kho dawkvah Judahnaw e sinakok ao.
2 And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures:
Pawl ni ahmoun e patetlah ahnimanaw kamkhuengnae koe a cei teh Sabbath hnin hnin thum touh thung Cakathoung hah a kâdeikhai awh.
3 Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you.
Khrih teh reithainae a khang vaiteh duenae koehoi bout a thaw han tie kamcengcalah a pâpho teh, nangmouh koe ka pâpho e hete Jisuh raw doeh Khrih toe atipouh.
4 And some of them believed, and were associated to Paul and Silas; and of those that served God, and of the Gentiles a great multitude, and of noble women not a few.
Ahnimouh thung dawk a tangawn ni yuemnae dawk a pha teh, Pawl hoi Silas tinaw hnuk a kâbang awh. Cathut ka bawk e Griknaw moikapap hoiyah napui kam kamsawng e naw ni hai a yuem awh.
5 But the Jews, moved with envy, and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason’s house, sought to bring them out unto the people.
Hatnavah Judahnaw ni a ut awh dawkvah tami kaponaw a kaw awh teh a pâkhueng awh. Khopui thung ruengruengti khai awh, Jason im hah khik a kalup awh teh, Pawl hoi Silas hah taminaw hmalah tâcokhai hanelah a tawng awh.
6 And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar, are come hither also;
Hatei ahnimouh roi teh a hmu awh hoeh dawkvah Jason hoi a hmaunawnghanaw hah, ukkungnaw koe a hrawi awh teh, kho tangkuem talaivan heh ka pakhuppathan e naw hi haiyah a pha awh toe.
7 Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
Jason ni ahnimouh ama im a luen sak. Ahnimanaw teh Sizar bawi hloilah alouke siangpahrang tie Jisuh ao ati awh teh, Sizar bawi hah a taran awh telah a hramki awh.
8 And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things,
Hote lawk ka thai e khobuem hoi ukkungnaw a lungpuen awh.
9 And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
Jason hoi alouke hmaunawnghanaw koe e rawngkhannae tangka a la teh ahnimouh teh bout a tha awh.
10 But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Pawl hoi Silas teh karum vah Berea kho a patoun awh. Hote kho dawk a pha roi toteh, Judahnaw e Sinakok vah a cei roi.
11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so.
Berea kho e taminaw teh, Thesalon kho e kaawm e naw hlak a talue awh. Pawl tinaw ni a dei e hah lungthocalah hoi a dâw awh teh, laithoe maw atang maw tie hah a panue thai awh nahanelah, Cakathoung hnintangkuem a touk awh.
12 And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.
Ahnimanaw thung dawk tami moikapap ni a yuem awh. Bari kaawm e Grik napuinaw hoi tongpanaw ni hai a yuem awh.
13 And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude.
Hateiteh Thesalon kho kaawm e Judah taminaw ni Pawl teh Berea kho hai Cathut lawk a dei tie hah a thai awh toteh, taminaw a tacuek awh teh, ruengrueng ati sak awh.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
Hatdawkvah hmaunawnghanaw ni Pawl hah karanglah tuipui totouh a thak awh. Silas hoi Timote teh hote khothung ao roi.
15 And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.
Pawl ka thak e naw ni Athen kho totouh a thak awh. Silas hoi Timote hah a coung thai nathung karanglah kai koe tho roi loe tie kâ a poe e a sin awh teh a ban awh.
16 Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.
Pawl ni Athen khovah ahnimouh a ring lahun nah hote kho teh meikaphawknaw seng lah ao e hah a hmu dawkvah, a lungthung khang thai hoeh.
17 He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them that served God, and in the marketplace, every day with them that were there.
Hatdawkvah ahni teh sinakok dawk Judahnaw hoi Cathut ka bawk e taminaw hoi a kâdei awh teh, anhla yonae koehai a kâdeikhai.
18 And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him; and some said: What is it, that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.
Epikurian hnukkâbangnaw hoi Satoiknaw nihai, Pawl hoi a kâdei awh. A tangawn ni hete tami ni bangmouh a deingai aw ati awh. A tangawn ni teh ramlouknaw e cathut kong vai a dei aw ati awh. Hettelah tinae teh Pawl teh Jisuh hoi boutthawnae kong a pâpho dawk doeh.
19 And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?
Hattoteh Pawl hah Aripakas yungim a kaw awh teh, hete cangkhainae a katha e heh kaimouh hai panue kawi maw ati awh.
20 For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka thai awh boihoeh e, ka panue awh boihoeh e na dei e hah, kaimanaw hai panue hane ka ngai atipouh awh.
21 (Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.)
Athen khocanaw hoi imyinnaw teh kamthang lawk thai ngainae a hloilah alouklah hoi a tueng baw sak awh hoeh.
22 But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious.
Hatdawkvah Pawl ni yungim lungui a kangdue teh, Athen nangmouh heh phunglam koe lah na thahmei poung awh tie ka hmu.
23 For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God. What therefore you worship, without knowing it, that I preach to you:
Na bawk awh e naw ka khet navah, panue hoeh e Cathut hanelah titeh ca na thut awh e thuengnae khoungroe buet touh ka hmu. Nangmouh ni na panue awh hoeh e Cathut lawk kai ni ka dei han.
24 God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Talaivan hoi talai dawk kaawm e a cawngca kasakkung Cathut teh, kalvan hoi talai ukkung Bawi lah ao teh, tami e kut hoi sak e bawkimnaw thung awmhoeh.
25 Neither is he served with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing; seeing it is he who giveth to all life, and breath, and all things:
Hathloilah, Cathut teh tami hringnae hoi kâhanaw pueng hoi hno cawngca pueng kapoekung lah ao dawkvah, ka panki e boiboe lah tami ni khetyawtnae panki hoeh.
26 And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation.
Cathut ni tami buet touh dawk hoi miphun abuemlah a sak teh, talai van pueng ao sak teh, a tue hoi ao awh nahane hmuen pueng hai lengkaleng a hmoun pouh.
27 That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us:
Hettelah a tingainae teh, taminaw ni Cathut hah a tawng awh teh, a hmu hai khoum a hmu awh nahane doeh. Atangcalah maimouh buet touh rip hoi Cathut teh kahlat e nahoeh.
28 For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, la ka phuengkungnaw ni, atangcalah maimouh teh amae catoun doeh telah a phueng awh e patetlah maimouh teh Bawipa lahoi hring awh, kâroe awh, o awh.
29 Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man.
Maimanaw teh Cathut e canu capa lah o awh dawkvah, Cathut hah tami e thoumnae hno lahoi sui hoi sak e, talung hoi sak e meikaphawknaw hoi a kâvan telah pouk hanelah awmhoeh.
30 And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance.
Cathut ni taminaw ni panue thai hoeh e a tue hah banglahai pouk hoeh eiteh, atuteh ram tangkuem kaawm e tami pueng hah pankângai hanelah kâ a poe toe.
31 Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed; giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni amamouh ni a khoe e Bawipa lahoi yah, talaivan heh lawkceng nahane hnin sut a hmoun toe. Hote Bawipa hah duenae koehoi a thaw sak teh, tami pueng koe mitnoutnae kamcengcalah a poe toe.
32 And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
Duenae koehoi boutthawnae kong hah a thai awh toteh, tami tangawn ni a dudam awh. A tangawn ni hmalah bout thai eisei ati awh.
33 So Paul went out from among them.
Hattoteh Pawl teh ahnimouh koehoi a tâco.
34 But certain men adhering to him, did believe; among whom was also Dionysius, the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Hatei tami tangawn ni Pawl koe a kambawng awh teh a yuem awh. Ahnimanaw thung dawk Aripakas yung e tami buet touh lah kaawm e Dionisia hoi alouke napui Damaris tinaw hloilah napuinaw hai a bawk awh.
