Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Paul okv Silas Ampipolis okv Apollonia bv vngpikla vngtoku, Jius kumkunaam dooku gv Tesalonika lo aatoku.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Paul ninyigv atugv vngdungbv Jius kumkunaamlo vngtoku. Hoka Doonu alu lvum go hv nyitwng gv lvkobv dopam pamgvto Baibel kitap lokv minla,
3 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ."
okv Darwknv kitap lokv bunua mindimiyin jila mimpa jitoku ho Kristo hinching la okv sito kula turkur kunama. “Si Jisu oogv ngo nonua mimpa jidunv si,” Paul minto, “Si kv Kristo.”
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.
Bunugv meegonv Paul okv Silas gv mingku lo tvvlwk minggv toku okv lvkobv ritoku; vkvlvgabv Grik twngtvnv meego okv anvnyimv rigvdogvnv meegoka, oogv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumnyabo vdwv.
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.
Vbvritola Jius vdwv kavtarv toku okv nyi agar manv vngkarchaakarnv meego vngkum motola okv dopam pamnya lakula alvmanv nyitwng gubv ritoku. Bunu pamtv mvnwng lo makarrikar nyato okv nyi akogv naama palwk jitoku Jason minv angv naam nga okv Paul okv Silasnyi mvdubv kaakar nyala okv bunua nyi apam lo boolin dubv.
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,
Vbvritola bunua kaapa kuma nvngv, bunu Jasonnyi okv mvngjwngnv meegonyi pamtv gv rigvdogv nvlo boolin chotola okv goktoku, “So nyi vdwv mooku mvnwng lo ridwkriku nvgo! Bunu vjv ngonugv pamtv lo aapvku,
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."
okv Jason bunua ninyigv naam lo doomu toku. Bunu mvnwng ngv Dvbvyachok gv pvbv nga tvvmabv rinia toku, mvvnya toku dvbv kvvbigo dopvkv, vkvgv aminv Jisu.”
8 The crowd and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
Bunu soogv gaam nga nyipam okv pamtv tujupkunam nga tvvsik motola twngtwng rara mvngmu toku.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Tujupkunam vdwv Jason okv ajin vdwa ainmorko dorsvrisv nga rimu tokula topu toku, okv vbvrikunamv bunua vngmu nyatoku.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
Kanv sopikda, mvngjwngnv vdwv Paul okv Silas bunyia Beria lo vngmu toku. Vdwlo bunu vngchinam gola, bunu Jius kumkunaam bv vngtoku.
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.
Beria gv nyitwng ngv Tesalonika nyitwng nga habia yatoku. Bunu doina tvvnwng alvbv tvvria nyatoku, okv Paul gv minam ngv jvjv gubvri vla bunu Baibel kitap nga alu lokia purila kaanyato.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Bunu mvnwng ngv awgonv mvngjwng nyatoku, okv Grik gv anvnyimv kaibv rigvdogv awgo okv Grik gv nyiga awgunv ka mvngjwng nyatoku.
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.
Vbvritola vdwlo Tesalonika lo doonv Jius vdwv Paul Beria lo Pwknvyarnv gv gaam nga japdokv vla tvvpa namgola, bunu hoka aatoku okv lamrwpato kula okv apam am nvngyaknvngchak toku.
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
Vjakpigobv mvngjwngnv vdwv Paulnyi svmasa gv agum bv vngmu toku; vbvritola Silas okv Timoti bunyi Beria lo dootoku.
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.
Paul gv lvkobv vnggvnv vngbom nyi vdwv ninyia Etins bv vngchi gvvtoku okv vbvrikunamv Paul gvlo lvkobv minsar koto kula ho Silas okv Timotinyi lvkobv aamu dokubv baapubv Beria vngkur toku.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
Vdwlo Paul Etins lo Silas okv Timotinyi kaaria rilo, hv achialvbv mvngru toku pamtv lo morti achialvgo kaapa tokula.
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.
Vkvlvgabv ninyia Pwknvyarnv kumnvjonv Jius okv Jentail vdwgv lvkobv kumkunaamlo dopam pamgv toku okv nyitwng nga aludwkibv vngpiknv vdwaka.
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.
Ipikurian gv meego okv stoik gv tamsarnvnyi larmi sito, mintoku, “so nyi si oguka chima hv ogugo mindu nvdw. Hv ogugo mintv dvnvdw?” Kvvbiv minto, “Hv mintv doonvgo ngonua kvvbi Pwknvyarnv meego,” ogulvgavbolo Paul minjito bunua Jisu gv lvkwng lo okv ninyigv sinam lokv turkur kunama.
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?
Vbvrikunamv Paulnyi hv vnggv toku, Aropagus kvba, doopamlo hoka hv mintoku, “Ngonua minbwk jilabv so anw rinama noogv ngonua tamsarnama.
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean."
Noogv ngonuam anw bv minjinam nga, okv ngonu chinwngdo soogv tamsarnam si oguvdw,” (
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.
Etins lo nyi mvnwng ngv okv nyebunyi mvnwng gv atugv dwa rilwk dula anwnv ogugo minam am tvvria laka rito okv mimpa laka rito.)
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.
Paul pamtv gv kvbadopam kaagia lo dakrap toku okv minto, “Ngo kaadu nonugv Etins lo nyi vdwv achialvbv dormo rinv gubv ridu.
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.
Ngo nonugv pamtv nga vngpitla okv nonugv kumkujoku am ngo kaakunamv oogv yogwngmvrwng lo lvkpv nama kaapa toku ‘Chimanam Pwknvyarnv gv lvgabv’ hv nonugv kumnamjonam go, vbvrikunamv, vbvrilachin hum nonu chimado, si oguvdw ngo nonua vjak minkar jidukunv.
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,
Pwknvyarnv, sichingmooku okv ogumvnwng nga sum pwknv, nyidomooku okv nyiamooku gv Ahtuv okv nyi vdwgv mvnam kumging lo dooma dunv.
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.
Pwknvyarnv ngonu gvlo oguguka mvngma dunv vmalo ngonu ninyia ogugo jila nyudunv hv yabv atuv ngonua saknam turnama okv ogumvnwng nga nyichar mvnwng lo jiya dunv.
26 He made from one blood every nation of the human race to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,
Nyi ako lokv hv mooku mvnwng nga mvlinto okv minjito sichingmooku mvnwng lokv turdubv. Hv atubongv mvkimvak jito ogolo okv oguaingbv singsv vdw.
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.
Ninyia sum ritoku vkvlvgabv ho bunu ninyia kaachin sidubv, okv ninyi chinsu lare bunu ninyigv lvkwng lo mvngnama. Hvjvka Pwknvyarnv ngonu mvnwng gv lokv aduma;
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.'
vbv akonv minto, ‘Ninyigv lokv ngonu singdunv okv bidutapdunv okv turmudakmu dunv.’ Si nonugv mimin lvknv meegonv mindunv, ‘Ngonuka ninyigv umvuu ngv.’
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.
Ngonu mvnwng ngv Pwknvyarnv gv umvuu ngv vbolo, ngonu vbv mvngmare hv ain vmalo raaji vmalo vlwng lokv morti bv mvnamgo vla. Hv ogu lokvka manvgo nyi vdwlokv mwnglin nam okv mvlin nam.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
Vngnyi konv dwlo, Pwknvyarnv kaabotalikla kaato ogulvgavbolo nyi vdwv chimato ogugo bunu ridunvdw. Vbvritola vjak ninyia minduku ho nyi mvnwng nga mooku mvnwng gvngv alvmanv lokv mvngdin la ninyi gvlo aakur tvku vla.
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."
Pwknvyarnv sichingmooku mvnwng nga nyi akin gvlokv alvrungbv jwngkadaka dukubv alua mvpvripv pvku, okv hv sum kaabwk dukubv rilin jitoku ninyia sikunvnga turkur molaku!”
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We want to hear you again concerning this."
Vdwlo nyi vdwv, Paul gv oogv sitola turkur kunam gv lvkwngbv japnama tvvpa pvkudw, nyi kvvgonv nyarjito. Vbvritola kvvgonv mintoku, “Ngonu sum tvvria dvre no gvlo lvkodv.”
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Okv vbvrikunamv Paul bunugv doopam lokv lintoku.
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.
Nyi meegonv Paulnyi mvngjwng toku okv vngming gvvtoku, apam ho Dionysius, hv kvba gv nyi go, hoka anvnyimv ako aminv Damaris, okv nyitwng kvvbi meegoka.
