Acts 17
1 And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a 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 Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of 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 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.
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 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.
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, 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.
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 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;
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 hath 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 stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things,
Ilipugha lya vagoyo vakikaja ye vapulike isio, pevakava night ngananio.
9 And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of 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 Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went 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 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.
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 And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.
Ku uluo avinga muvanave valyitike, mwevakava nava kimama avanyangelo imbaha isa ki Giriki navava ghosi vinga.
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.
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 unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
Ng'aning'ani, avanyalukolo vakan'twala u Paulo kusila ija lisumbe, looli u Sila nu Timotheo vakasighala 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.
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 Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given 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 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.
Pa uluo vakapuling'ana munyumba ijakufunyia nava Yahudi vano vakifunyagha kwa Nguluve na kuvooni vaala pano vakatang'ine navoope ifighono fyooni kulighulilo.
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.
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 taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?
Vakan'tola u Paulo na pikuntwala ku Areopago, vakaati, “Tukagula kukulumanya ululaghilo ulu ulupia luno ghujova?
20 For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
Ulwakuva ghuleta amasio amapia mumbughulutu situ. Kurt uluo tulonda kukagula kuuti amasio agha ghalindani?”
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.)
(Na vaanhu vooni ava ku Athene palikimo navahesia vano pwevale kuvanave, vaghumanyile unsiki ghuvanave ughu kujova na kupulikisia ilisio ilipia.)
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.
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 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:
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 God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not 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 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:
Kange na ivombua na mavoko ulwakuuti ilonda ikiinu kivanave umwene jujuo ikuvapela avanhu uvwimi nu mwuuja ni fiinu fyooni ifiinge.
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.
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 should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every 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 are; as some also of your own poets 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 must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man.
Ku uluo, ndavule tulivaholua va Nguluve, nalunoghile kusagha ilitekelo lilindavule isahabu, ni shaba, na mavue, fihwani kino kikahongolilue vunofu namasaghe gha vanhu.
30 And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance.
Mu uluo, u Nguluve alyjikile Kimmie amasiki agha vuyasu, looli lino ilaghila avanhu vooni valate.
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.
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 had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
Avanhu va ku Athene yevapulike imola ija kusyuka kuvafue, navala vamo vakan'syojuile u Paulo, avenge vakaati “Tukukupulikisia kange kumola iji”
33 So Paul went out from among them.
Apuo, u Paulo akavaleka.
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.
Looli avanhu vamo valyale ikinu kimo vakitika, pwe akale u Dionisio Mwereopago, nu mama Juno itambulua Damari na vange palikimo navene.
