Acts 17
1 And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Paul le Silas hah Amphipolis le Apollonia an khêla. Thessalonika an tunga. Mahan Judangei Synagog taka ava oma.
2 And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures:
Paul'n a tho ngâi balam anghan an kôm a lûta, sabbathnia voithum Pathien lekhabu renga asân a sûtpuiin,
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.
Messiah chu dûktonga thina renga ânthoinôk rang piel ani ti a rilminthâra, a minlang ngâia, “Hi Jisua, nin lâia ku phuong hih Messiah ani,” a ti sa ngâi.
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.
An lâia senkhat chu Paul thurchi misîr hah an iema, Paul le Silas hah an jôm zoia; nupang ruoipu tamtak le Pathiena inbei mi Greek mipuingei lehan.
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.
Hannirese Judangei han an narsa, lamliena thaboi pâlngei hah an tuonga, mipui an koibûma, khopuilien pumpui bâiinkham chara, Paul le Silas hah loko makunga tuong rang bôkin Jason in an hong lûtkhuma.
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;
Hannirese, an manloi lehan chu, Jason le iempu senkhatngei hah khopuilien ulienngei makunga an hong kainâl ngeia, an inieka. “Hi mingei hin muntina bâiinkhamna an sin ngâi! atûna hin ei khopuiliena an hong ani.
7 Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
Jason hin a ina a lei mintung ngei ngâia. Hi ngei hin, a riming Jisua, Rêng dang aom tiin Caesar balam an siet ngâi,” an tia.
8 And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things,
Ma chong hah an rietin chu mipui le khopuilien ulienngei hah bâiinkhamin an om zoia.
9 And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
Khopui ulienngeiin Jason le a champuingei hah sum anâng dôr an pêka, an mojôk ngei zoi ani.
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.
Hanchu, iempungeiin hani jân ahongni lechu Paul le Silas hah Berea khopuia an min se ngei kelena, an tungin chu Judangei Synagog an lûta.
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.
Ma taka mingei kai chu Thessalonika mingei nêkin chu an mulungrîl ân ong uola. Thurchi hah atui takin an rangâia, Paul thurchi misîr hah adik le dikloi rietna rangin nîngtin Pathien lekhabu an inchu ngâia.
12 And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.
Ha ngei lâia mi tamtakin an iem zoia, Greek nupang mirit om tamtak le pasal tamtak khomin an iem zoi.
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.
Hannirese Thessalonika Judangei han, Paul'n Berea khopuia khom Pathien thurchi a misîr ti an riet lechu mahan khom an va sea, mipuingei an mohôka; bâi an inkhâm char zoi.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
Iempungeiin tuipui dênin se rangin Paul hah an tîra, Silas le Timothy chu an la oma.
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.
Paul juong thak ngei han Athens dênin an juong thaka; Silas le Timothy kôm han innota a kôma se ranga Paul chongbê chôiin an kîr nôk zoi.
16 Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.
Paul'n Athens taka anni hah a lei ngâk lâiin ha khopuilien hah mirmilngeia sip ani ti a mûn chu a mulung a minna oka.
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.
Masikin Synagog'a Judangei le Jentailngei, Pathien biek ngei hah a dem ngâia; mipui intûpna muna khom mataka omngei ngân chu nîngtin an injêk ngâi.
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.
Epicurean le Stoic minchupungei lâia khomin an inkhalpuia. Senkhat chu, “Hi mûr thiempa hin imo misîr rang a bôk hi?” an tia. Adangngeiin chu, “Ram dang pathienngei chong a misîr rang ani hi,” Paul, Jisua le inthoinôkna. misîr sika ani.
19 And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?
Masikin Paul hah a koia, roijêkna Areopagus han an tuonga; a kôm “Hi minchuna thar ni misîr ngâi hi a riet kin nuom.
20 For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
Ni misîr kin riet ngei hih la riet ngâi makme; itina mo ani a riet kin nuom,” an tia.
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.)
(Athens khopui mi murdi le ramdangmingei ajuong omngei khomin an zora dôn murdi neinun thar misîrna le rangâina mang an nuom sikin).
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.
Paul hah roijêkna Areopagus moton taka ândinga, “Nangni Athens mingei, lamtina sakhuo mi tatak nin ni ti ki riet.
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:
Nin khopuilien sûnga ka chai malamin chubai nin mûk ngâi ngei ke ena; mâichâm inkhat, ‘Rietloi pathien ta rang,’ tia ânziek ku mua. Nin rietloi chubai nin mûk tit ngâi hah atûna nangni ki misîr pe hih ani.
24 God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Pathien'n rammuol le asûnga neinunngei murdi sinpu chu pilchung le invân Pumapa ani sikin kuta sin in ngeia om ngâi mak.
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:
Miriem ei sem rang neinun ite khom insam mak. Ama ngêt han hah ngei nâm kôma ringna ngei, phûk ngei le mitin kôma neinunngei nâm a pêkpu ani uol.
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.
Rammuol pumpuia om rangin, mi inkhat renga jâttin a sina. An ta rang zorangei a khit pe ngeia, an omna rang rikung a khangpe ngeia.
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:
Ma hih a thona abi chu ama an ena, an zonga an mu theina ranga ani. Adiktakin, Pathien chu tute renga la uol mak.
28 For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.
Mi senkhatin an ti anghan, ‘Ama sikin ei ringa, singinsa'n, ei om ani,’ Nin lâ phuopungei khomin an ti sa anghan, ‘Eini khom a nâingei ei ni.’
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.
Pathien nâingei ei nin chu, Pathien chu rângkachak mini, sumin mini, lungin mini, miriem kut thiem le mindonna mirimil an sin ngâi anga han om rang tetên ei bôk rang nimak.
30 And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance.
Pathien'n ama ei riet mâna ngei kai chu rietloi om a tho ngâia; aniatachu, atûn chu ramtina mi murdi sietna renga inhei rangin chong a pêk zoi.
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.
Nikhuo a khita, ha nia han a mi phunpu hah rammuola mi murdi ngei roi adiktakin jêk atih. Ma chong ha chu Pathien'n ama hah thina renga kaithoiin mi murdi kôm a min riet zoi,” a tia.
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.
Thina renga inthoinôk roi an riet lechu senkhatin an munuisana; senkhat nôkin chu, “Hi chong hi no kôm renga la rangâi nôk kin nuom,” an tia.
33 So Paul went out from among them.
Male Paul a mâk ngeia.
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.
Mi senkhat chu a tieng an kop tita male an iem zoia. Ha ngei lâia senkhat chu, Areopagus roijêkpu pâla mi Dionysius le nupang inkhat a riming Damaris le midang ngei an ni.
