Acts 17
1 And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where the synagogue of the Jews was,
Ye vakilile ifikaja ifya mu Amfipoli ni Apolonia, vakisile mpaaka mulikaja lya Thesalonie lino lilyale nava sinagogi ava Yahudi.
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,
Ndavule lulyale lwiho lwa Paulo, alyalutike kuvanave, na kunsiki ughwa fighono fiitatu ifya Sabati pe akapuling'ana na voope vwimila u vulembe.
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.”
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 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.
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 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,
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 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,
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 has received; and all these do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king—Jesus.”
Avaghosi ava vino vakambilivue nu Yasoni vinangania indaghilo ja Kaisari, viiti kuale uNtua ujunge juno itambulivua Yesu”
8 And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,
Ilipugha lya vagoyo vakikaja ye vapulike isio, pevakava night ngananio.
9 and having taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ye vamalile kutola indalama sino siling'ine vuloleli kuhuma kwa Yasoni na vange, vakavalekesia valutaghe.
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;
Ikilo jila avanyalukolo vakamwomwile u Paulo nu Sila ku Beroya. Ye vafikile kula vakaluta munyumba ija kufunyila ija va Yahudi.
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;
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 therefore, many of them, indeed, believed, and not a few of the honorable Greek women and men.
Ku uluo avinga muvanave valyitike, mwevakava nava kimama avanyangelo imbaha isa ki Giriki navava ghosi vinga.
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;
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 brothers sent forth Paul, to go on as it were to the sea, but both Silas and Timotheus were remaining there.
Ng'aning'ani, avanyalukolo vakan'twala u Paulo kusila ija lisumbe, looli u Sila nu Timotheo vakasighala pala.
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;
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 and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding 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 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.
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 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,
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 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,
Vakan'tola u Paulo na pikuntwala ku Areopago, vakaati, “Tukagula kukulumanya ululaghilo ulu ulupia luno ghujova?
20 for you bring certain strange things to our ears? We resolve, then, to know what these things would wish to be”;
Ulwakuva ghuleta amasio amapia mumbughulutu situ. Kurt uluo tulonda kukagula kuuti amasio agha ghalindani?”
21 and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.
(Na vaanhu vooni ava ku Athene palikimo navahesia vano pwevale kuvanave, vaghumanyile unsiki ghuvanave ughu kujova na kupulikisia ilisio ilipia.)
22 And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, “Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;
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 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.
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 in it, this One, being Lord of Heaven and of earth, does not dwell 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 by the hands of men—needing anything, He giving life to all, 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 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—
Kuhumila u munhu jumo, aalyavombile mukisina kyooni ikya vanhu vano vikukalapamaso agha iisi, pe akavavikila amasiki nu vusililo uvwa fisala fino fikukala.
27 to seek the LORD, if perhaps they felt after Him and found, though, indeed, He is not far from each 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 certain of your poets have also 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, 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;
Ku uluo, ndavule tulivaholua va Nguluve, nalunoghile kusagha ilitekelo lilindavule isahabu, ni shaba, na mavue, fihwani kino kikahongolilue vunofu namasaghe gha vanhu.
30 therefore indeed God, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to convert,
Mu uluo, u Nguluve alyjikile Kimmie amasiki agha vuyasu, looli lino ilaghila avanhu vooni valate.
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.”
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 having heard of a resurrection of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, “We will hear you again concerning this”;
Avanhu va ku Athene yevapulike imola ija kusyuka kuvafue, navala vamo vakan'syojuile u Paulo, avenge vakaati “Tukukupulikisia kange kumola iji”
33 and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,
Apuo, u Paulo akavaleka.
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.
Looli avanhu vamo valyale ikinu kimo vakitika, pwe akale u Dionisio Mwereopago, nu mama Juno itambulua Damari na vange palikimo navene.
