Acts 17
1 After passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, Paul and Silas came to Thessalonica. Here the Jews had a synagogue;
Guero iraganic Amphipolian eta Apollonian, ethor citecen Thessalonicara, non baitzen Iuduén synagogabat.
2 and, following his usual custom, Paul joined them, and for three Sabbaths addressed them, drawing his arguments from the scriptures.
Eta costumatu çuen beçala Paul sar cedin hetara, eta hirur Sabbathoz disputa cedin hequin Scripturetaric.
3 He laid before them and explained that the Christ must undergo suffering and rise from the dead; and ‘It is this man,’ he declared, ‘who is the Christ – this Jesus about whom I am telling you.’
Declaratzen eta proposatzen cerauela, ecen behar içan dela Christec suffri leçan eta resuscita ledin hiletaric: eta ecen haur cela Iesus Christ cein dio, nic predicatzen baitrauçuet.
4 Some of the people were convinced, and threw in their lot with Paul and Silas, as did also a large body of Greeks who were accustomed to join in the Jewish services, and a great number of leading women.
Eta hetaric batzuc sinhets ceçaten, eta Paulen eta Silasen compainiaco eguin citecen, eta Iaincoa cerbitzatzen çutén Grecoetaric compainia handia, eta emazte ohoraturic ez guti.
5 But the Jewish leaders, becoming jealous, engaged some worthless fellows from the streets, and, getting a mob together, kept the city in an uproar. They attacked Jason’s house, with the intention of bringing Paul and Silas before the Popular Assembly;
Baina bekaizteriaz mouituric Iudu rebelléc, eta harturic hara huna çabiltzan guiçon gaichto batzu, eta populua bilduric, trubla ceçaten hiria: eta Iasonen etchea iauquiric, hec populura eraman nahiz çabiltzan.
6 and, not finding them there, they proceeded to drag Jason and some of the Lord’s followers before the city magistrates, shouting out, ‘These men, who have turned the world upside down, have now come here,
Eta eriden etzituztenean, tira citzaten Iason eta anayetaric batzu hirico Gobernadoretara, oihuz ceudela. Hauc mundu gucia erauci vkan duten ondoan, huna-ere ethorri içan dirade:
7 and have been harboured by Jason! They are all defying the decrees of the Emperor. They say that someone else is king – a man called Jesus!’
Eta Iasonec beregana recebitu vkan ditu: eta guciec Cesaren ordenancen contra eguiten dute, dioitela berce Reguebat badela, Iesus.
8 On hearing this, the people and the city magistrates were much concerned;
Tharrita ceçaten bada populua eta hirico Gobernadoreac gauça hauc çançuzquitenean.
9 and, before letting them go, they took bail from Jason and the others.
Baina fiadoregoa recebituric Iasonganic eta goiticoetaric, vtzi citzaten ioaitera.
10 That very night the followers sent Paul and Silas off to Beroea; and on reaching that place, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
11 These Jews of Beroea were better disposed than those in Thessalonica, for they welcomed the message with great readiness, and daily examined the scriptures to see if what was said was true.
Eta hauc ciraden Thessalonicaco noblenetaric, ceinéc hitza recebi baitzeçaten alegrança gucirequin, egun oroz Scripturác bilhatzen cituztela, eya gauça hauc hala liradenez.
12 As a consequence, many of them became believers in Christ, besides a considerable number of Greek women of position, and of men also.
Eta hetaric anhitzec behinçát sinhets ceçaten, eta emazte Grec honestetaric, eta guiçonetaric ezgutic.
13 But, when the Jewish leaders in Thessalonica found out that God’s message had been delivered by Paul at Beroea, they came there too, exciting and disturbing the minds of the people.
Baina iaquin ceçatenean Thessalonicaco Iuduéc ecen Beroen-ere Iaincoaren hitza Paulez denuntiatu içan cela, ethor citecen hara-ere, populua tharritatzen çutela.
14 The followers immediately arranged for Paul to go away to the coast, but both Silas and Timothy stayed behind in Beroea.
Baina bertan Paul igor ceçaten camporát anayéc, ioan ledinçát itsas alderat beçala: baina Silas eta Timotheo egon citecen han.
15 The friends who escorted Paul took him as far as Athens, and, after receiving a message for Silas and Timothy to join him as quickly as possible, they started on their return.
Eta Paulen salbura heltzeco carguä hartu çutenéc, eraman ceçaten hura Atheneserano: eta hec harenganic manamendu recebituric Silasgana eta Timotheogana, guciz bertan ethor litecen hura Baithara, parti citecen.
16 While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his heart was stirred at seeing the whole city full of idols.
Eta Paul Athenesen hayén beguira cegoela keichatzen cen haren spiritua hura baithan, çacussanean hiria idolatriari emana.
17 So he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and with those who joined in their worship, as well as daily in the public Square with those who happened to be there.
Disputatzen cen bada synagogán Iuduequin, eta Iaincoa cerbitzatzen çutenequin, eta merkatuco plaçán egun oroz batzen cenequin
18 Among others, some Epicurean and Stoic Philosophers joined issue with him. Some asked ‘What is this prater wanting to make out?’, while others said ‘He seems to be a preacher of foreign Deities.’ (This was because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection).
Orduan Epicuriano eta Stoiciano philosopho batzu disputatzen ciraden harequin: eta batzuc erraiten çutén, Cer erran nahi du edasle hunec? Eta bercéc cioiten, Iainco arrotzén eracusle dela dirudi: ceren Iesus denuntiatzen baitzerauen eta resurrectionea.
19 So they laid hold of him and took him to the Court of Areopagus. ‘May we hear,’ they asked, ‘what new teaching this is which you are giving?
Eta hatzamanic hura eraman ceçaten Marsen karricara, cioitela, Iaquin ahal deçaquegu ceric den hiçaz erraiten den doctrina berri hori?
20 For you are bringing some strange things to our notice, and we should like to know what they mean.’
Ecen gauça arrotz batzu gure beharrietara ekarten dituc: nahi diagu bada iaquin gauça horiac cer erran nahi diraden.
21 (All Athenians and the foreigners staying in the city found no time for anything else but telling, or listening to, the last new thing.)
(Ecen Atheniano guciac eta han egoiten ciraden arrotzac eçeinere berce gauçatara etziraden applicatzen, cembeit berriren erraitera edo ençutera baicen)
22 So Paul took his stand in the middle of the Court, and said – ‘People of Athens, on every hand I see signs of your being very devout.
Orduan Paulec Marsen karricaren erdian cegoela, erran ceçan, Athenesco guiçonác, gauça gucietan deuotegui beçala ikusten çaituztet çuec.
23 For as I was going about, looking at your sacred shrines, I came upon an altar with this inscription – “To an Unknown God.” What, therefore, you worship in ignorance, that I am now proclaiming to you.
Ecen iragaiten naicela eta çuen deuotioneac contemplatzen ditudala eriden-ere badut aldarebat, ceinetan scribatua baitzén, Iaincoa eçagun gabeari. Bada eçagutu gaberic ohoratzen duçuen hura nic denuntiatzen drauçuet:
24 The God who made the world and all things that are in it – he, Lord as he is of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by hands,
Mundua eta hartan diraden gauça guciac eguin dituen Iaincoa, ceruären eta lurraren Iaun delaric, ezta escuz eguin templetan habitatzen.
25 neither do human hands minister to his wants, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives, to all, life, and breath, and all things.
Eta ezta guiçonén escuz cerbitzatzen deusen behar beçala, ikussiric ecen berac emaiten drauztela guciey vicia eta respirationea eta gauça guciac.
26 He made all races of the earth’s surface – fixing a time for their rise and fall, and the limits of their settlements –
Eta eguin vkan du natura humano gucia odol batetaric: lurraren hedamen gauciaren gainean habita litecençat, lehenetic sasoin ordenatuac determinaturic, eta hayén habitationearen mugarriac eçarriric:
27 That they might search for God, if by any means they might feel their way to him and find him. And yet he is not really far from any one of us;
Iauna bilha leçatençát, aguian haztatuz hura eriden leçaquetenez gure batbederaganic vrrun ezpadere.
28 for in him we live and move and are. To use the words of some of your own poets – “His offspring, too, are we.”
Ecen harçaz vicitzen eta higuitzen eta içaten gara: çuen poetetaric-ere batzuc erran dutén beçala, Ecen haren leinu-ere bagara.
29 Therefore, as the offspring of God, we must not think that the Deity has any resemblance to anything made of gold, or silver, or stone – a work of human art and imagination.
Beraz Iaincoaren leinu garenaz gueroz, eztugu estimatu behar Diuinitateac vrrhea edo cilharra edo harria guiçonen artez edo inuentionez moldatua irudi duela.
30 True, God looked with indulgence on the days of people’s ignorance, but now he is announcing to everyone everywhere the need for repentance,
Iaincoac bada ignorantiazco demborác dissimulaturic, orain denuntiatzen draue guiçon guciey leku gucietan emenda ditecen.
31 because he has fixed a day on which he intends to judge the world with justice, by a man whom he has appointed – and of this he has given all people a pledge by raising this man from the dead.’
Ceren ordenatu baitu mundua iustoqui iugeaturen duen eguna determinatu duen guiçonaz, guciey eçagutzera emanic, hura hiletaric resuscitaturic.
32 On hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some began jeering, but others said that they wanted to hear what he had to say about that another time.
Eta ençun çutenean hilén resurrectionea, batzu truffatzen ciraden, eta bercéc erraiten çutén, Ençunen augu berriz horren gainean.
33 And so Paul left the Court.
Eta hunela Paul ilki cedin hayén artetic.
34 There were, however, some people who joined him, and became believers in Christ. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the Court of Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and several others.
Batzuc halere, hari iunctaturic, sinhets ceçaten: ceinetaric baitzén Dionysio Areopagita-ere, eta Damaris deitzen cen emaztebat, eta berceric hequin.
