Acts 17
1 And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where the synagogue of the Jews was,
Bhakapitilanjeje ku Ampipoli na ku Apolonia, gubhapitengenenje mpaka ku Teshalonike, kweneko jashinkupagwa shinagogi ja Bhayaudi.
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,
A Pauli malinga nkubho gwabho gubhailundile, gubhakungulwishe nabhonji ga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kwa Mobha ga Pumulila gatatu gwangali pumulila.
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.”
Bhalilunguya na talashiya kuti yashinkupinjikwa a Yeshu bhapotekwe na bhayushe kukopoka kubhawilenje. Na kuti, “A Yeshu bhungunnungushiyangabho ni a Kilishitu.”
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.
Bhananji munkumbi gwabhonji gubhakulupalilenje nigubhailundilenje na a Pauli na a Shila. Na Bhagiliki bhabhagwinji bhaajogopangaga a Nnungu na bhanabhakongwe bhakulungwanji, gubhailundilenje.
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,
Ikabheje Bhayaudi gubhakwetenje lupimililo, gubhapolekenje bhandunji bhangalinginji bha mmbone, gubhatendilenje ulendo nigubhakumbuyenje nnjasha pa shilambo powe. Gubhapitengenenje ku nyumba ja a Yashoni bhaliganishiyanga kuti kweneko shibhaapatanje a Pauli na a Shila nkupinga bhaapelekanje ku lugwinjili lwa bhandu.
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,
Ikabheje bhangaapatanga, kwa nneyo gubhaakwekwetenje a Yashoni na bhakilishitu bhananji mpaka ku bhakulungwanji bha shilambo, bhalijobhelanga bhalinkutinji, “Bhene bhandunjibha bhanapuganyanga shilambolyo na nnaino bhaikengenenje na kukuno.
7 whom Jason has received; and all these do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king—Jesus.”
A Yashoni bhashikwaposhelanga kunngwabho. Bhowe bhanakananga Malajilo ga a Kaishali, bhakutinji. ‘Bhapali bhakulungwa bhana bhashemwa a Yeshu.’”
8 And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,
Kwa gene malobhego, bhakulungwanji bha shilambo na lugwinjili lwa bhandunji gubhatengukenje.
9 and having taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Gubhaatendilenje a Yashoni na ashaajabhonji bhowe bhashoyanje mmbiya, kungai gubhaaleshilenje bhajabhulangane.
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;
Ikaishileje shilo, bhakilishitu bhala gubhaapelekenje a Pauli na a Shila mpaka ku Bheloya. Bhakaikanganeje kweneko gubhajinjilenje nshinagogi ja Bhayaudi.
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;
Bhene bhandunjibho pubhalinginji bhanguja kupunda bha ku Teshalonike bhala. Gubhaliposhelenje lilobhe lila kwa ntima gwa mmbone, gubhakaguyenje Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kila lyubha, nkupinga bhalolanje ibhaga ibheleketwa na a Pauli na a Shila ili ya kweli.
12 therefore, many of them, indeed, believed, and not a few of the honorable Greek women and men.
Bhabhagwinji munkumbi gwabhonji mula bhakukulupalilangaga na bhanabhakongwe Bhagiliki bhakwetenje itengu na bhanabhalume bhabhagwinji.
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;
Ikabheje Bhayaudi bha ku Teshalonike bhakapilikananjeje kuti a Pauli bhanalungaya lilobhe lya a Nnungu ku Bheloya, gubhapitengenenje kweneko, gubhatandubhenje kutenda nnjasha na kukwiya lugwinjili lwa bhandu.
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.
Shangu bhakilishitu bhala gubhaapelesheyenje a Pauli mpaka kunyenje litanda, ikabheje a Shila na a Timoteo gubhalepekenje ku Bheloya.
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;
Ikabheje bhaapelesheyenje a Pauli bhala, gubhaapelekenje mpaka ku Atene. Kungai, gubhabhujilenje na ntenga kukopoka kwa a Pauli gwa kuti, a Shila na a Timoteo bhanakabhanje kwaakagula ku Atene.
16 and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,
A Pauli bhali nkwaalindililanga a Shila na a Timoteo ku Ateneko, yashinkwaashima muntima gwabho bhakaibhoneje yanamu ya ashinnungu igumbele shene shilambo shila.
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.
Bhai, nshinagogi a Pauli bhatendaga kunguluka na Bhayaudi na bhandunji bhana bhaajogopangaga a Nnungu na kila lyubha bhatendaga tenda nkungulu gwa palugwinjili na bhandunji bhobhowe bhaibhoneyangaga penepo.
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,
Na bhananji bhakagulangaga majiganyo ga a Epikulo na a Ashitoiki gubhataukenje. Bhananji bhalinkutinji, “Bhapinga bheleketa nndi bhangumbabha?” Bhananji gubhashiteanje, “Paabhoneka mbuti bhanalunguya ga ashi nnungu bha shijeni.” Pabha a Pauli bhatendaga lunguya ga a Yeshu na ga yuka.
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,
Kwa nneyo gubhaatolilenje a Pauli gubhaapelekenje ku lukumbi lwa ashikalongolele bha shilambo lwashemwaga Aleopago, gubhashitenje, “Tunapinga tugamanye malombolelo ga majiganyo genu ga shijeni gunkulunguyaga.
20 for you bring certain strange things to our ears? We resolve, then, to know what these things would wish to be”;
Indu ina itupilikene mmakutu getu inabhoneka ya shijeni kungwetu. Tunapinga tumumanye yene indui malombolelo gakwe nndi.”
21 and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.
Pabha bhandunji bha ku Atene na bhandunji bhananji bhatamanganaga kweneko bhatendaga pinganga kutagulilana na pilikanishiya ngani ja indu ya shijeni.
22 And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, “Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;
Bhai, a Pauli gubhajimi pa lukumbi lwa Aleopago, gubhashite, “Mmashilambo bha pa Atene! Pungubhona kuti mmanganyanji nnatolelelanga kwa kaje ngani ja dini,
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.
pabha punapitaga ako na koko nikwibhona indu yenunji munkujujilanga Nnungu, njikushibhona shitala shimo shijandishwe. ‘Kwa a Nunngu bhutukakwamanya.’ Bhai, nne ngunakunnungushiyanga, ga bhene a Nnungu bhunkwaatindibhalilanga gwangali kwaamanyabho.
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,
“A Nnungu, bhapengenye shilambolyo na indu yowe ili nkati jakwe, bhashibha Bhakulungwa bha kunnungu na pa shilambolyo, bhalabho bhakatama mmajumba ga jujila Nnungu gashenjilwe na bhandunji.
25 neither is He served by the hands of men—needing anything, He giving life to all, and breath, and all things;
Na wala shakwa shibhaapinga mundu abhatendele mbuti shipali shibhaaloleya, pabha bhenebho ni bhakwaapanganga bhandu bhowe gumi na kwaapanganga kila shindu.
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—
Na kukoposhela kuka mundu jumo a Nnungu gubhapengenye bhandunji bha ilambo yowe nikwaatendanga bhajenelanje pa shilambolyo. Bhali bhajibhishile miongwe na mipika ja mmbali ya ilambo ya tama bhene bhandunjibho.
27 to seek the LORD, if perhaps they felt after Him and found, though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,
“Bhashinkutenda nneyo, nkupinga bhandunji bha ilambo yowe bhaaloleyanje nkali kwaapapaya papaya, iishile pakwabhona. Nkali nneyo, a Nnungu bhangataliya pubhali tome na uwe.
28 for in Him we live, and move, and are; as certain of your poets have also said: For we are also His offspring.
Malinga shabhelekete mundu jumo, ‘Pabha mututama nkati jabho, tunajima jima, nikola gumi!’ Na malinga bhaajimba bhenunji bhana shibhashite lugulanga. ‘Uwe twaashibhana bhabho’
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;
Bhai ibhaga, uwe tuli twaashibhana bhabho a Nnungu, tukaapinjikwa kuganishiya kuti Unnungu ulandana na shaabhu, eu ela eu liganga, indu ibheywa kwa lunda lwa bhandunji.
30 therefore indeed God, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to convert,
Bhai, bhukala gwa ubhelu gwa bhandunji gula a Nnungu bhashinkutenda mbuti bhakakuubhona. Ikabheje nnaino, a Nnungu bhanalajila bhandunji bhowe bha kila mmbali bhaipetanje.
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.”
Pabha bhabhishile lyubha limo lya ukumula bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo gwangali kummonela mundu, kupitila mundu jumo jubhanng'agwile. A Nnungu bhashikong'ondela genego kwa kunnyuya jwene mundujo kukopoka kubhawilenje!”
32 And having heard of a resurrection of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, “We will hear you again concerning this”;
Bhai, bhakaapilikananjeje a Pauli bhalibheleketa ngani ja yuywa bhawilenje, bhananji gubhatendilenje mbenji, ikabheje bhananji gubhashitenje, “Tunapinga tupilikanishiye kabhili jene nganiji.”
33 and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,
A Pauli gubhajabhwile, gubhaaleshilenje pa lukumbi pala.
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.
Ikabheje bhandunji bhana gubhaakagwilenje na gubhakulupalilenje. Munkumbimo bhaapali a Dionishi bhaaliji bha munkumbi gwa Aleopago na bhakongwe bhamo lina lyabho a Damali na bhananji.
