Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Pu vakhanghenda mumbunchenghe uwa Amfipoli na Apolonia, puvakhafikha kuvunchenge uwa khu Tesalonikhe ukhuyale ekhyo einyumba eiya khwisayeila Avayuta.
2 So Paul, as was his custom, went in to them and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Nduvulwale ulwiho lwa Pavuli pu akhingeila khuvene pu aleikhwinchojanja navo, amamenyu ngha mbusimbe emilungu nghei datu einghya Sabati.
3 explaining and demonstrating that the Messiah had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and that “this Jesus whom I proclaim to you is the Messiah.”
Pu aleikhuvadeinduleila uvusimbe nukhuvavulanincha ukhuta, ya nonghile uKeilesite ukhunkuveilwa pu anchukhe khange ukhuhuma khuvunchukha. Pu akhavavula, “Akhata uYeisu uveinikhuvavula inongwa ncha mwene yei Keilesite”
4 Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of devout Greeks and not a few of the prominent women.
Pu avange Muvayuta vakhakela nukhweideikha puvakhahangana paninie nu Pavuli nu Sila, pu navava Vagiliki vope vavo va mweimeikhangha avuva eidikhe nukhukava uvupokhi valepyo neikheipungha eikheivaha eikhya vanu.
5 But the disobedient Jews rounded up some wicked men from the marketplace, and forming a mob they created an uproar in the city; and attacking the house of Jason, they wanted to bring them out to the crowd.
Pu Avayuta vale nakhavini savaleiveideikhi puvakhanchi lundamania avanu vuvingi puvakhava veidikhi avanu avapanji puvakhava khipunga nukhupela eimbwato pavunchenge, hange pukhayuvukhila nayeinyumba eiya Yasoni, vuvilonda ukhuvubata Pavuli nu Sila nukhuva nahengha pavanu.
6 But not finding them they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials vociferating: “These who have upset the whole world have come here too,
Pu leino vavile valemilwe ukhuvavona puvakhamwibala uYasoni navakeilesite avange vakhavaheileikha khuvavaha vavunchenge puvakhata nukhyovela valeikhuta, “Avanu ava vyu vala vavo vikhuvakilivula avanu avankilunga khyoni puvinchile nakhunu khunu,
7 to whom Jason has given lodging. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.”
U Yasoni vei avupeilile, pu avanu ava savikonga ululangheio lwa Kesali, pu vita khwale unkuludeva uyunge viita vei Yeisu”
8 Well they agitated the crowd and the city officials when they heard these things.
Pu avanu eikhipungha khyoni navavaha vavunhenge vakhatimbukha mwitumbu vavile vapulikhe ewo.
9 Then they took a security bond from Jason and the rest and let them go.
Pu uYasoni nava nine vavile vahombile ihela puvakhavavopola, vakhavelekha valutanghe.
10 Immediately, during the night, the brothers sent both Paul and Silas away to Berea; on arriving they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Pu avakeileisite vayavo eikilo yeila yeila puvakhavalavuleila uPavuli nu Sila na yu Beloya. Vavile vafikhe ukhupuvakhinghila munyumba iyuvikheisayeila Avayuta.
11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all goodwill, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things might be so.
Avanu vala vale nuluhala ukhululeila vala avakhu Tesalonikhe ulwakhuva va lyupeilile eilimenyu neinumbula. eingolofu puvaleikhukongelela uvusimbe ifinghono fyoni ukhuta puvalumanye nghangho nghincho viwa vunghaleivwo.
12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.
Pu leino avingi muveene vakhalyeideikha eilimenyu, avadala na vanghosi ava Gilikhi vuveingi.
13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the Word of God was also being proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came too, agitating the crowds.
Pu ieino Avayuta avakhu Tesalonike vavile vwene ukhuta uPavuli eilumbeileila eilimenyu lya Nguluve ukhu khu Veloya, puvakhaluta ukhwa puvakhanchi khyavanu eikhipungha khyavanu vakhava neimbwato khuvanu.
14 So then, without delay, the brothers sent Paul away, as if to go by sea, while both Silas and Timothy remained there.
Khya hanila, avakeileisite vala puvakhangh'eileikha uPavuli alutanghe khunyanja, pu leino uSila nu Timoti vakhasinginghala palapala.
15 But those who were conducting Paul actually took him all the way to Athens; and receiving a command to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they started back.
Avakeileisite vala vavile vangh'eili khe uPavuli puvakhandhifikha nave nakhu Atene, puvakhandekha uPavuli ukhwa, puvakhupeila khumwene unghwavalanghile ukhuta uSila nu Timoti vinche khumwene khyahanila.
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was increasingly aroused within him as he observed that the city was full of idols.
Pu avile ikhuvanghuleila ukhukhu Athene, enumbula y amwene yeikhavipa fincho umu alolile uvunchenge vula umuvudeinghile ifiihwani fyufingi.
17 So he reasoned both in the synagogue with the Jews and devout persons, and in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there.
Pu leinu valemunyumba ya khweisayeila puakhinchofanja na Vayuta vavo vale veideikhi khwa Nguluve na vala vooni uvuanghanile navo isikhu nchoni palinghunchi.
18 Then certain philosophers, both Epicureans and Stoics, encountered him. Some said, “What might this idea-scavenger want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities”—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.
Pu leino avanghana luhala ava epikuli nava sitoiki vakhamweideikha. Pu avange vakhata, “Inchova khinu kheikhi uyu unchofi uteta? Avange vakhata, “ivonekha ukhuta ilumbeileila inongwa inchaminguluve inongwa ncha Yeisu nu vunchukha.
19 So taking him in tow they led him to the Areopagus and said: “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
Piuvakhatola uPavuli vakhaluta nave pakheigima eikhyu vatenchangha pu pa -Alyopangho, valeikhuta, “Tuvaheile ukhunghamanya unghuvumanyeisya amanghenji angha?
20 Because you are bringing some strange things to our ears, and we would like to know what they might mean.”
Ulwakhuva vwinghengha nghangho manghenji mumbulukhutu ncheito. Pu leino lwinonghwa ukhulumanya angha khukhuta khwikhi?”
21 (Now all Athenians and resident foreigners spent their time in nothing else but to tell, or else to hear, some novelty.)
(Ulwakhuva ava atene nava nghenji avatamangha ukhwa vale vwaseikhi unghwa khunchova khyukhyoni pu valekhuva vanu va khupuleiheincha inongwa imya.)
22 So standing in the middle of the Areopagus Paul said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious;
Pu leino uPavuli akheima pa nghati na nghali pavanu ava khu Aleopago nukhuta, “Umwe mweivanu va mu Atene, nivona ukhuta umwe muleivanu vamanguluve,
23 because as I went along and scrutinized the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO UNKNOWN GOD. Now then, the one you worship as ‘unknown’, this is the One I proclaim to you:
Pakhuva nukhunghenda khwango nukhulola ifinu fyeinyo ifyumukhufyeimeikha puneivwene amamenyu anghaveinghivwe pakheitekhelelo khyeinyo, anghita “KWA NGULUVE UVEISAMANYEIKHIKHE”. Pu leino uywa uvei mukhumweimeikha nukhwisaya pakhusita khumanya, vei uyu uveinukhuvavula umwe.
24 The God who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples built by hands,
Unguluve umpeli vakhilunga ni finu fyoni ifilimunghati, ulwakhuva vei nkuludeva va kyanya na pasi pakheilunga, savahile ukhutama mutembile inchipeliwe na mavokho.
25 neither is He cared for by men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself has always given life and breath to all.
Pu khange umavokho ngha vanu punghikhunghaheila ukhuta pamo inonghwa khininie khuvene, pakhuva umwene yu mwene ikhuvapa avanu uvwumi nu mwuya ni finu ifinge fyoni.
26 And from one blood He made every ethnic nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,
Pu ukhunghendela khumunu umo, pu akhapela ifivumbukhu fyoni ifya vanu avavitama pakhilunga, hange akhavaveikhila eimiseikhi ni makha neha khilunga umuvitama.
27 so that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
Pu lieno, pavandonde Unguluve ndapuyeingave pakhupalamasya puvakhambone, hange saleipavutali nu munu umo umo ndyufwe.
28 because in Him we live and move and have our being. As also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
Khumwene mututameila, tunghenda nukhuva nuvwumi vweito, nduvu usimbi va lweimboatile tuleivaholiwa va mwene.'
29 Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divinity is like gold or silver or stone—something shaped by human skill and imagination.
Pu lieno eingave ufwe tuleivaholwa va Nguluve sayeinonghile ukhusangha ukhuta uvu Nguluve khinu khya lutalama pange khahel apange khalinghanga ukhu umunu ipunja nulwunchi eikheihwani vunonu na masanghongha vanu.
30 Such times of ignorance God did indeed overlook, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent,
Pu Unguluve ale mya eimise ikhei ngheila einghya vupelwa pu leino eilangheila ukhuta avanu voni upuvalepwo vapelonghe.
31 because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained; He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
Ulwakhuva aveikhile eikhingho eikhyakhuheingheila eikheilunga mbwayeilweli khumunu ula uvei ahaliwe. Unguluve ahuminche uvumanyi vwa munu uyu khumunu uveiavenchangha pala upu anchusinche ukhuhuma khuvunchukha.
32 Well when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some started scoffing, while others said, “We will hear you again about this.”
Pu na vanu ava khu Atene vavile vapulekhe einongwa eiya vunchukha vwa vafwile avange mbene pakhangh'ekha uPavuli, pu avange vakhata “Putukhukhupuleiheinchangha khange khulimenyu lya nongwa eiyei.
33 And with that Paul went out from among them.
Pu apo leino, uPavuli akhavalekha.
34 However some men believed and joined him, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, also a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Pu leino avanu avange vakhakongana nave vakheideikha uyunge mu avo vei Ndyonisi uva Mwareopago, nu Dala uvei ikheilangivwa Damali navange paninie na vene.
