Acts 17
1 And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where the synagogue of the Jews was,
Bu bamana vioka Amfipolisi ayi Apoloni, Polo ayi Sila batula ku Tesalonika; kuna kuba nzo lukutukunu yi Bayuda.
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,
Polo wukota mu nzo lukutukunu banga bubela kifu kiandi. Zimbingu zitatu kasoludila yawu mu masonoko.
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.”
Wuba kuba sudikisa ayi kuba monisa bumboti ti Klisto kafuetimona ziphasi ayi kafueti fuluka mu bafua; wuba kamba ti: —Yesu diodi ndilembo lulongi niandi Klisto!
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.
Bayuda bankaka mu bawu bawilukila, bafubakana kuidi Polo ayi Sila. Buawu bobo basi Ngelese, bawombo bobo bankizikanga Nzambi, va kimosiayi baketo baluzitu bakutakana yawu.
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,
Vayi Bayuda bankaka bamona kikhenene, bakambisila bivungisi biobi bieti diengila phamba-phamba mu zinzila muingi batotula khindu. Bawizana ayi batotula khindu mu divula. Bakota mu nzo yi Yasonimu tomba Polo ayi Sila mu diambu di kuba nata kuidi nkangu wu batu.
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,
Bu bakambu kuba mona, bakanga Yasoni ayi basi dibundu bobo babayandi, babanata kuidi bapfumu zi divula ayi bayamikina: —Batu bobo balembo nikuna tsi, beka kuaku.
7 whom Jason has received; and all these do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king—Jesus.”
Yasoni niandi wuba tambula ku nzoꞌandi! Baboso babundudi Mina mi Sezali, bila balembo tubanga ti ntinu wunkaka widi, dizina diandi Yesu!
8 And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,
Nkangu wu batu ayi bapfumu bu bawa bobo, bafuema ngolo.
9 and having taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Diawu bafutisila Yasoni ayi baklisto bankaka lumandi, bosi babayekula.
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;
Muna builu, bakhomba zitinisa Polo ayi Sila ku Bele. Bu bayetula kuna, bakota mu nzo lukutukunu lu Bayuda.
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;
Muaki Basi Bele baba batu ba mintima mimboti viokila basi Tesalonika. Bakikinina Mambu ma Nzambi mu luzolo loso lumboti; ayi kadika lumbu baba fionguninanga masonoko mu diambu di zaba kani mambu momo baba kuba longanga maba makiedika.
12 therefore, many of them, indeed, believed, and not a few of the honorable Greek women and men.
Buna bawombo mu bawu bawilukila va kimosi ayi baketo ba luvalu ba basi Ngelese buela ayi babakala bawombo.
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;
Vayi Bayuda ba basi Tesalonika bu bawa ti Polo wulembo longi mambu ma Nzambi ku Bele, bayiza kuna, batona divunzi ayi khindu mu batu.
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.
Bakhomba batinisa Polo ku ndambu mbu. Vayi Sila ayi Timote basiala kuna.
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;
Batu bobo banata Polo, bantudisa nate ku Atene bosi bavutukaku Bele. Bawu banatina Sila ayi Timote thumu ti Polo wuba kamba bavikaku nlandakana.
16 and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,
Polo bu kaba vingidila bakundi bandi ku Atene, buna wumonakiadi mu ntima mu mona ti bitumba biwombo biba mu divula.
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.
Wuba solulanga ayi Bayuda ayi batu bankaka baba sambilanga Nzambi mu nzo lukutukunu. Kadika lumbu Polo wuba solulanga va nyalu-nguba va kimosi ayi batu bobo kaba dengananga kuna.
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,
Ndambu yi batu bankaka baba mu dikabu di Baepikuli ayi dikabu di Basitoyika, bafindana yandi ziphaka. Bankaka batuba: —Kiololoko kioki mbi kantuba e? Vayi bankaka batuba ti: —Tumueni ti niandi wulembo longi zinzambi banzenza! Bayolukila bobo mu diambu di Polo kaba nlonga nsamu wu Yesu ayi wu mfulukulu yi bafua.
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,
Vayi babuila Polo ayi bannata va buangu kiba ntedilanga “Aleyopaze”, vovo bayuku findininanga ziphaka. Bankamba: —Tulenda kueto zaba tsundu yi malongi momo ma mona wulembo longi e?
20 for you bring certain strange things to our ears? We resolve, then, to know what these things would wish to be”;
Bila mambu momo wuntuba madi mamona kuidi beto ayi tutidi zaba tsundu yi mambu momo.
21 and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.
Muaki basi Atene ayi banzenza babakalanga ku Atene, kisalu baluta sala viokisanga thangu mu tuba ayi mu wa mambu mamona.
22 And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, “Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;
Polo wutelama vana khatitsika Aleyopaze, wutuba: —A basi Atene, ndimmona ti lueti zola buwombo sambila
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.
bila bu ndibedi zieta mu divula dieno, ndimueni bitumba biwombo biobi lueti sambila. Tala, ndimueni va diziku dietitambukulu makaba vasonama: “kuidi nzambi yoyi tukambulu zaba!” Diawu Nzambi yoyi lueti sambila mu kambu kunzaba niandi ndikulusamunina.
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,
Nzambi yoyi yivanga nza ayi bibioso bidi mu nza ayi niandi Pfumu yi Diyilu ayi ntoto, kakalanga mu zinzo zi Nzambi zitungulu mu mioko mi batu ko.
25 neither is He served by the hands of men—needing anything, He giving life to all, and breath, and all things;
Bosi mioko mi batu milendi kunsadila ko, bila kasukamanga ko! Niandi weti vana luzingu ayi weti vana batu boso phumukunu; niandi weti vana bima kuidi batu boso.
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—
Mu mutu wumosi kavangila batu boso mu diambu bavuanda va ntoto wumvimba. Wuvasa zithangu; wutula zindilu zi bibuangu biobio balenda vuanda muingi batomba Nzambi.
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 mamoso mama kavanga, wuntomba ti batu bantomba bila thangu yinkaka balenda kunsimba mu fifita ayi kumbakula ka diambu ko kasi ko thama kuidi kadika mutu buna tuididi.
28 for in Him we live, and move, and are; as certain of your poets have also said: For we are also His offspring.
Bila mu diambu diandi tulembo zingila, tundiatila ayi tuididi. Banga minsoniki mieno minkaka misonika: “Bila beto mamveto tuidi mu nkunꞌandi.”
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;
Bu tuidi mu nkuna Nzambi buna tubika banza ti kinzambi kidedikinibanga nolo, palata voti banga ditadi; bima bivangulu mu mioko mi batu ayi mu mabanza ma batu.
30 therefore indeed God, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to convert,
Mu thama Nzambi wuvibidila kambu ku diela ku batu, buabu wulembokambi batu boso badi mu bibuangu bioso ti babalula mavanga mawu.
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.”
Bila wukubika lumbu kioki kela sambisa batu ba nza mu busonga, mu nzila yi mutu wowo kakubika bu kavana dimbu kuidi batu boso mu fulukisa mutu beni mu bafua!
32 And having heard of a resurrection of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, “We will hear you again concerning this”;
Buna bawa nsamu wu mfulukulu yi batu bafua; bankaka banseva bosi bankaka bankamba: —Tuela kuwa mu khumbu yinkaka.
33 and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,
Diawu Polo kaba bikila.
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.
Muaki batu bankaka bafubakana yandi ayi bawilukila. Mu bawu muba Denisi wuba mu dikabu di Aleyopaze, nketo wumosi baba tedilanga Damali ayi bankaka mu bawu.
