Acts 17
1 And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Nabhafiha hu Amfipoli na hu Apolonia, bhafiha hu Thesalonike uhwo hwali nisinagogi lya Bhayahudi.
2 And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures:
U Paulo azobheleye abhale amwabho ensiku zitatu ezyelutuyo adalisanyaga nabho mwibhangili.
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.
Abhabhuulaga ezyazisimbilwe mwibhangili huje yaasimbilwe yu Yesu aje ailabha, aifwa nantele aizyuha afume hwa bhafwe yayunu yembabhuula enongwa zyakwe”
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.
Ayahudi bhamo na Giriki nabhasai bhabhinji bheteha bhafwata uPaulo.
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.
Lelo Ayahudi bhamo bhabhasuliha abhantu bhabhinji a bhahusokoni bhaalole ukero, bhaivamila enyumba ya Jason, aje bhabhakhate aPaulo nu Sila aje bhabhalete hwa bhantu.
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;
Naseebhabhaga bhakhata u Jasoni na bhanji bhabhatwala hwa ofisa bhe muji bhaga abhantu bhabhagaluzinye ensi bhafishile nuhuli,
7 Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
Abhalume ebha uJasoni abhakaribizizye bhananganya esheria ya Kaisari, bhaiga ahweli umfumu uwamwabho ahwitwa yu Yesu”
8 And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things,
Ipuga lya maofa nabhahumvwa isho bhasingana umwoyo.
9 And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
Nabhega hela zye ulinzi hwa Jasoni bhabhaleshela aje basogolaje.
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.
Nu siku bhatuma uPaulo nu Sila hu Beroya. Nabhafiha hula bhahinjila mwisinagogi lya Bhayahudi.
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.
Abhantu bhaala bhaali wenjele bhatejelezyaga zyabhayanga, a Paulo nu Sila, nazichunguzye aje zyazisimbilwe zyezyo.
12 And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.
Abhinja bhahitishe na bhashi abheshi Giriki bhabhali nulusuliho nalume bhahinji.
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.
Ayahudi bha hu Thesalonike bhahumvwizye huje aPaulo nu Sila bhali uwho bhazumbilila bhabhafuatile nalete efujo hwabhantu.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
U Paulo bhasogozya nanali hwidala lye idimi igosi, lelo u Barnaba nu Timotheo bhasagala pala.
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.
Aholo bhala bhatwalile uPaulo hu Athene, u Paulo wabhalajizya huje uSila nu Timotheo bhenze nanali.
16 Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.
U Paulo avitilwe tee mumwoyo gwakwe shalolile evifwa vinji munsi ela.
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.
U Paulo adalisanyaga nabho ayahudi shila lisiku mwisinagogi na husokoni.
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.
Lelo Abhefalsafa abha Waepikureo na Waestoiko bhabhalila na bhanje bhabhinji. Bhaga unu umuntu ayanga zyenu uduvya bhamo bhaga, abhoneha alumbilila ezya Ngulubhi ujeni,” alumbilila ezya Yesu nu luzyuho.
19 And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?
Bhamwega uPaulo bhaleta hwa Areopago, bhaga, “Tibhajiye azimanye emanyizyo zyaho ezyo empya zyumanyizya?
20 For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
Uletile amambo amapya mumakutu getu. Tihwanzaje timanye nate zili neshi wili?”
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.)
(Abhantu bha hu Athene bhasungwa atejelezye enongwa empya.)
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.
U Paulo wimilila hwa bantu bha Aeropago na huje amwe mubhantu mwahu Athene, muli bhe dini zye shila namna,
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:
Nanashilaga uhwo humadhebu genyu endolile musimbile “HWA NGULUBHI YASIGA”. Eshi ane embaletela enongwa zyakwe uyo yamupuuta nahumanyee.
24 God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Ungulubhi yabhuumbile ensi ne mwanya ne vintu vyonti siga akhala munyumba ezyapuutile zyazizengwilwe na makhono ga bhantu.
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:
Nantele siga abhombelwa namakhono umwene yatipela uwomi nevyenje vyonti.
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.
Ashilile hwa muntu umo abhabhisaiye abhantu outaratibu abheshele usiku na pasanya, eshisuku ne shisanya abhabhishiye ne mpaho mwamukhala.
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:
Eshi, bhahwanziwa huje bhamwanze Ungulubhi, nahumwaje umwene sigahutali nate.
28 For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.
Hwa mwene tijenda, tilya nabhe nu womi wetu, neshi shayanjile uteeli umo aje ate tili bhapapwe bhakwe.'
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.
Eshi, ate nkashele tilibhapapwe nu Ngulubhi setihwanziwa hulinganye Ngulubhi, nedhahabu, ne shaba, au nevifwani vyabhapunza vyavilingine wa bhantu.
30 And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance.
Emande abhanga aje siga azilola, eshi alajizya hwa bhantu bhonti huje bhalambe.
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.
Eshi umwene abhishile isiku lyaibhalonga abhantu bhonti bila hubhonele umuntu Ungulubhi afumizye uYesu huje abhantu bhamwitishe uyazyusizye afume hwa bhafwe.
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.
Abhantu bhahu Athene nabhuumvwa huje abhafwe bhazyuha, bhamo bhazihaki u Paulo bhagatitejelezye hani zyuyanga ezyo”
33 So Paul went out from among them.
Pamande uPaulo wabhaleha.
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.
Lelo bhamo bhahitiha, bhahamwitiha uYesu ahali u Dionisio Mwareopago, nushi itawa yu Damari na bha mwabho.
