Acts 17
1 And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews.
Bhakapitilanjeje ku Ampipoli na ku Apolonia, gubhapitengenenje mpaka ku Teshalonike, kweneko jashinkupagwa shinagogi ja Bhayaudi.
2 And Paul, as his custom was, went in among them, and for three sabbaths discoursed to them out of the Scriptures,
A Pauli malinga nkubho gwabho gubhailundile, gubhakungulwishe nabhonji ga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kwa Mobha ga Pumulila gatatu gwangali pumulila.
3 explaining them, and setting forth that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and that “this is the Christ, —Jesus whom I am making known to you.”
Bhalilunguya na talashiya kuti yashinkupinjikwa a Yeshu bhapotekwe na bhayushe kukopoka kubhawilenje. Na kuti, “A Yeshu bhungunnungushiyangabho ni a Kilishitu.”
4 And some of them were convinced, and joined themselves to Paul and Silas, and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the women of high rank not a few.
Bhananji munkumbi gwabhonji gubhakulupalilenje nigubhailundilenje na a Pauli na a Shila. Na Bhagiliki bhabhagwinji bhaajogopangaga a Nnungu na bhanabhakongwe bhakulungwanji, gubhailundilenje.
5 But the unbelieving Jews, taking with them certain bad men of the idlers in the market-place, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar; and having come to the house of Jason, they endeavored to bring them out to the people;
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 but not finding them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city magistrates, crying out, These men that have turned the world upside down have come hither also;
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 hath entertained; and they are all acting in opposition to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
A Yashoni bhashikwaposhelanga kunngwabho. Bhowe bhanakananga Malajilo ga a Kaishali, bhakutinji. ‘Bhapali bhakulungwa bhana bhashemwa a Yeshu.’”
8 And they alarmed the multitude and the city magistrates when they heard these things.
Kwa gene malobhego, bhakulungwanji bha shilambo na lugwinjili lwa bhandunji gubhatengukenje.
9 And having taken security of Jason and of the others, they let them go.
Gubhaatendilenje a Yashoni na ashaajabhonji bhowe bhashoyanje mmbiya, kungai gubhaaleshilenje bhajabhulangane.
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea; who, having come there, 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 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether these 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 Many of them therefore believed; and of the Grecian women of rank and men, not a few.
Bhabhagwinji munkumbi gwabhonji mula bhakukulupalilangaga na bhanabhakongwe Bhagiliki bhakwetenje itengu na bhanabhalume bhabhagwinji.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica knew that at Beroea, too, the word of God was preached by Paul, they came hither also, and stirred up 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 brethren sent away Paul to go to the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
Shangu bhakilishitu bhala gubhaapelesheyenje a Pauli mpaka kunyenje litanda, ikabheje a Shila na a Timoteo gubhalepekenje ku Bheloya.
15 And they who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and having received a commandment to Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, 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 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, when he saw the city full of idols.
A Pauli bhali nkwaalindililanga a Shila na a Timoteo ku Ateneko, yashinkwaashima muntima gwabho bhakaibhoneje yanamu ya ashinnungu igumbele shene shilambo shila.
17 Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout [[Greeks]], and in the market daily with those that met 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 some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, What doth this babbler mean to say? and others, He seemeth to be a setter forth of foreign gods; because he brought the glad tidings of Jesus and the resurrection.
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 And they took him and brought him to Mars' hill, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest?
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 thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
Indu ina itupilikene mmakutu getu inabhoneka ya shijeni kungwetu. Tunapinga tumumanye yene indui malombolelo gakwe nndi.”
21 Now all the Athenians, and the strangers residing among them, spent their leisure for nothing else but to tell or to hear something new.
Pabha bhandunji bha ku Atene na bhandunji bhananji bhatamanganaga kweneko bhatendaga pinganga kutagulilana na pilikanishiya ngani ja indu ya shijeni.
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Men of Athens, in all things I perceive that ye are very devout.
Bhai, a Pauli gubhajimi pa lukumbi lwa Aleopago, gubhashite, “Mmashilambo bha pa Atene! Pungubhona kuti mmanganyanji nnatolelelanga kwa kaje ngani ja dini,
23 For while passing along and observing your objects of worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, “To an unknown God.” What therefore ye, without knowledge of it, worship, that do I make known 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 The God who made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not 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 nor doth he receive service at the hands of men, as though he needed anything, since it is he that giveth to all life 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 And he made of one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having fixed appointed times, and the bounds of their habitation;
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 that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from every 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 have our being; as also some of your own poets have 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 then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Deity is like to gold or silver or stone, graven by the art and device 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 The times indeed of ignorance God overlooked; but now commandeth all men every where to repent;
Bhai, bhukala gwa ubhelu gwa bhandunji gula a Nnungu bhashinkutenda mbuti bhakakuubhona. Ikabheje nnaino, a Nnungu bhanalajila bhandunji bhowe bha kila mmbali bhaipetanje.
31 inasmuch as he hath fixed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he hath appointed; having given assurance to all by raising him from 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 when they heard of a resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but ethers said, We will hear thee again about this matter.
Bhai, bhakaapilikananjeje a Pauli bhalibheleketa ngani ja yuywa bhawilenje, bhananji gubhatendilenje mbenji, ikabheje bhananji gubhashitenje, “Tunapinga tupilikanishiye kabhili jene nganiji.”
33 Thus Paul departed from among them.
A Pauli gubhajabhwile, gubhaaleshilenje pa lukumbi pala.
34 But certain men joined themselves to him, and believed; among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite; and a woman named 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.
