Acts 17
1 And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where the synagogue of the Jews was,
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 according to the custom of Paul, he went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the Writings,
Pawl ni ahmoun e patetlah ahnimanaw kamkhuengnae koe a cei teh Sabbath hnin hnin thum touh thung Cakathoung hah a kâdeikhai awh.
3 opening and alleging that it was necessary [for] the Christ to suffer, and to rise again out of the dead, and that “this is the Christ—Jesus whom I proclaim 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 certain of them believed, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also a great multitude of the worshiping Greeks, also not a few of the principal women.
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 And the Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to themselves certain evil men of the agitators, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having also assailed the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring [them] to the populace,
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 having not found them, they drew Jason and certain brothers to the city rulers, calling aloud, “These, having put the world in commotion, are also present here,
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 has received; and all these do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be 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 troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,
Hote lawk ka thai e khobuem hoi ukkungnaw a lungpuen awh.
9 and having taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Jason hoi alouke hmaunawnghanaw koe e rawngkhannae tangka a la teh ahnimouh teh bout a tha awh.
10 And the brothers immediately, through the night, sent forth both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having come, 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 and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Writings every day [to see] whether those 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 therefore, many of them, indeed, believed, and not a few of the honorable Greek women and men.
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 from Thessalonica knew that also in Berea was the word of God declared by Paul, they came there also, agitating the multitudes;
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 brothers sent forth Paul, to go on as it were to the sea, but both Silas and Timotheus were remaining there.
Hatdawkvah hmaunawnghanaw ni Pawl hah karanglah tuipui totouh a thak awh. Silas hoi Timote teh hote khothung ao roi.
15 And those conducting Paul, brought him to Athens, and having received a command to Silas and Timotheus that with all speed they may come to him, 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 and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding 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 therefore, indeed, he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the worshiping persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met with him.
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 of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, “What would this seed picker wish to say?” And others, “He seems to be an announcer of strange demons”; because he proclaimed to them Jesus and the resurrection as good news,
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 having also taken him, they brought [him] to the Areopagus, saying, “Are we able to know what this new teaching [is] that is spoken by you,
Hattoteh Pawl hah Aripakas yungim a kaw awh teh, hete cangkhainae a katha e heh kaimouh hai panue kawi maw ati awh.
20 for you bring certain strange things to our ears? We resolve, then, to know what these things would wish to be”;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka thai awh boihoeh e, ka panue awh boihoeh e na dei e hah, kaimanaw hai panue hane ka ngai atipouh awh.
21 and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.
Athen khocanaw hoi imyinnaw teh kamthang lawk thai ngainae a hloilah alouklah hoi a tueng baw sak awh hoeh.
22 And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, “Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;
Hatdawkvah Pawl ni yungim lungui a kangdue teh, Athen nangmouh heh phunglam koe lah na thahmei poung awh tie ka hmu.
23 for passing through and contemplating your objects of worship, I also found an altar on which had been inscribed: To God—unknown; whom, therefore—not knowing—you worship, this One I announce 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 in it, this One, being Lord of Heaven and of earth, does not dwell 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 by the hands of men—needing anything, He giving life to all, 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 He also made every nation of man of one blood, to dwell on all the face of the earth—having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings—
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 to seek the LORD, if perhaps they felt after Him and found, though, indeed, He is not far from each 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 certain of your poets have also 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, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, [an] engraving of art and imagination 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 therefore indeed God, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to convert,
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 set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a Man whom He ordained, having given assurance to all, having raised Him out of 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 having heard of a resurrection of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, “We will hear you again concerning this”;
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 and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,
Hattoteh Pawl teh ahnimouh koehoi a tâco.
34 and certain men having cleaved to him, believed, among whom [is] also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name 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.
