Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
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 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Pawl ni ahmoun e patetlah ahnimanaw kamkhuengnae koe a cei teh Sabbath hnin hnin thum touh thung Cakathoung hah a kâdeikhai awh.
3 explaining and demonstrating that the Messiah had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Messiah."
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 Some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the prominent 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 But the Jews, being moved with jealousy, took along some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
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 When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
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. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another 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 The crowd and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
Hote lawk ka thai e khobuem hoi ukkungnaw a lungpuen awh.
9 When they had 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 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
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 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these 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 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Ahnimanaw thung dawk tami moikapap ni a yuem awh. Bari kaawm e Grik napuinaw hoi tongpanaw ni hai a yuem awh.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, inciting and disturbing the crowds.
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 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
Hatdawkvah hmaunawnghanaw ni Pawl hah karanglah tuipui totouh a thak awh. Silas hoi Timote teh hote khothung ao roi.
15 But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, 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 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
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 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
Hatdawkvah ahni teh sinakok dawk Judahnaw hoi Cathut ka bawk e taminaw hoi a kâdei awh teh, anhla yonae koehai a kâdeikhai.
18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be advocating foreign deities," because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
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 They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is, which 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 want to know therefore what these things mean."
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka thai awh boihoeh e, ka panue awh boihoeh e na dei e hah, kaimanaw hai panue hane ka ngai atipouh awh.
21 Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
Athen khocanaw hoi imyinnaw teh kamthang lawk thai ngainae a hloilah alouklah hoi a tueng baw sak awh hoeh.
22 Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
Hatdawkvah Pawl ni yungim lungui a kangdue teh, Athen nangmouh heh phunglam koe lah na thahmei poung awh tie ka hmu.
23 For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this 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 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and 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 human hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life 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 made from one blood every nation of mankind to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries 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 that they should seek God, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though 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 have our being.' As some of your own poets have 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 then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by human art and design.
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 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
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 has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to everyone by raising him from 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 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We want to 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 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Hattoteh Pawl teh ahnimouh koehoi a tâco.
34 But some people joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named 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.
