Acts 17
1 After passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, Paul and Silas came to Thessalonica. Here the Jews had a synagogue;
Ita, idi nalabsandanda dagiti siudad ti Amfipolis ken Apolonia, dimtengda iti siudad ti Tesalonica, no sadino ket adda iti sinagoga dagiti Judio.
2 and, following his usual custom, Paul joined them, and for three Sabbaths addressed them, drawing his arguments from the scriptures.
Kas nakaugalian ni Pablo, napan isuna kadakuada, ket iti tallo nga Aldaw a Panaginana, nakiinnadal isuna kadakuada manipud iti Nasantoan a Sursurat.
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.”
Linukatanna ti Nasantoan a Sursurat ken impalawagna a masapul nga agsagaba ti Cristo ken agungar manipud iti patay. Kinunana, “Daytoy Jesus nga iwarwaragawagko kadakayo ket isu ti Cristo.”
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.
Dadduma kadagiti Judio ket naallukoy ken nakikadua kada Pablo ken Silas, agraman dagiti napasnek a Griego, adu kadagiti mangidadaulo a babbai ken adu a tattao.
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;
Ngem dagiti saan a namati a Judio, gapu iti apal, nangikuyogda kadagiti nadangkes a lallaki manipud idiay pagtagilakuan, nangummongda iti adu a tattao, ken nangparnuayda iti gulo iti siudad. Iti panangrautda iti balay ni Jason, kayatda koma nga irruar da Pablo ken Silas kadagiti tattao.
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,
Ngem idi saanda ida a nasarakan, ingguyodda ni Jason ken dadduma kadagiti kakabsat a lallaki iti sangoanan dagiti agtuturay iti dayta a siudad, ket impukkawda, “Dagitoy a lallaki a nangparnuay iti riribuk ket immay met ditoy.
7 and have been harbored by Jason! They are all defying the decrees of the Emperor. They say that someone else is king – a man called Jesus!”
Dagitoy a lallaki a sinangaili ni Jason ket agtigtignay a maibusor kadagiti linteg ni Caesar; ibagada nga adda iti sabali nga ari - isu ni Jesus.”
8 On hearing this, the people and the city magistrates were much concerned;
Idi nangngegan dagiti adu a tattao ken dagiti opisial ti siudad dagitoy a banbanag, nariribukanda.
9 and, before letting them go, they took bail from Jason and the others.
Kalpasan a naalada ti kuarta a multa ni Jason ken dagiti dadduma, pinalubosanda ida a pumanaw.
10 That very night the followers sent Paul and Silas off to Beroea; and on reaching that place, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
Iti dayta a rabii, imbaon dagiti kakabsat a lallaki da Pablo ken Silas idiay Berea. Idi simmangpetdan sadiay, napanda iti sinagoga dagiti Judio.
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.
Ita, dagitoy a tattao ket addaan iti nangatngato a panagpapanunot ngem kadagiti adda idiay Tesalonica, ta inawatda ti sao nga addaan iti nakasagana a panunot, ket inaldaw nga ad-adalenda ti Nasantoan a Sursurat tapno kitaenda no dagitoy a banbanag ket pudno.
12 As a consequence, many of them became believers in Christ, besides a considerable number of Greek women of position, and of men also.
Adu ngarud kadakuada ti namati, karaman dagiti sumagmamano a nabileg a Griego a babbai ken adu a lallaki.
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.
Ngem idi naammoan dagiti Judio idiay Tesalonica nga iwarwaragawag met ni Pablo ti sao ti Dios idiay Berea, napanda sadiay ket kinibur ken riniribukda dagiti adu a tattao.
14 The followers immediately arranged for Paul to go away to the coast, but both Silas and Timothy stayed behind in Beroea.
Ket dagus nga imbaon dagiti kakabsat a lallaki ni Pablo idiay baybay, ngem nagtalinaed sadiay da Silas ken Timoteo.
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.
Dagiti mangidaldalan kenni Pablo ket impanda isuna agingga iti siudad ti Atenas. Idi ibatidan ni Pablo sadiay, imbilinna kadakuada nga ibagada kada Silas ken Timoteo nga umayda koma kenkuana a dagus no mabalin.
16 While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his heart was stirred at seeing the whole city full of idols.
Ita, kabayatan nga ur-urayen ida ni Pablo idiay Atenas, nariribukan ti espirituna iti pannakakitana iti siudad a napnoan iti didiosen.
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.
Isu a nakiinnadal isuna kadagiti Judio idiay sinagoga ken kadagiti nagdaydayaw iti Dios ken kasta met kadagiti masalsalawna iti pagtagilakuan iti tunggal aldaw.
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).
Ngem adda met dagiti Epicureo ken Estoico a managbiruk iti pudno a nakasalaw kenkuana. Ket kinuna dagiti dadduma, “Ania ti padpadasen nga ibaga daytoy a salawasaw?” Ket kinuna dagiti dadduma, “Kasla mangaskasaba isuna maipanggep iti saan nga am-ammo a dios,” gapu ta ikaskasabana ti maipanggep kenni Jesus ken ti panagungar.
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?
Innalada ni Pablo ket impanda isuna iti Areopago, kunada, “Mabalinmi kadi nga ammoen daytoy baro a sursuro a sasawem?
20 For you are bringing some strange things to our notice, and we should like to know what they mean.”
Ta nangiyegka kadagiti lapayagmi iti banbanag a saanmi nga ammo. Isu a kayatmi a maammoan no ania ti kayat a sawen dagitoy a banbanag.”
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.)
(Ita, amin dagiti taga-Atenas ken dagiti ganganaet nga agnanaed sadiay ket busbusbosenda dagiti tiempoda iti awan sabali no di laeng ti mangibaga wenno agdengngeg iti maipanggep iti maysa a banag a barbaro.)
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.
Nagtakder ngarud ni Pablo iti tengnga ti Areopago ket kinunana, “Dakayo a lallaki iti Atenas, makitak a relihiosokayo unay iti amin a wagas.
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.
Ta kabayatan iti ilalabasko ken panangpaliiwko kadagiti banbanag a pagrukrukbabanyo, nasarakak ti maysa nga altar nga addaan iti naisurat a, PARA ITI SAAN NGA AM-AMMO A DIOS. No ania ngarud ti daydayawenyo iti kinaawan ammo, daytoy ti iwaragawagko kadakayo.
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,
Ti Dios a nangaramid iti lubong ken amin a banbanag nga adda iti daytoy, yantangay ta isuna ket Apo iti langit ken daga, saan nga agnaed kadagiti templo nga impasdek dagiti ima.
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.
Saan met isuna a pagserbian ti im-ima dagiti tattao a kasla kasapulanna ti aniaman a banag, yantangay ta isuna mismo ti mangmangted iti biag kadagiti tattao ken anges ken dadduma pay a banbanag.
26 He made all races of the earth’s surface – fixing a time for their rise and fall, and the limits of their settlements –
Ket manipud iti maysa a tao, inaramidna ti tunggal pagilian dagiti tattao nga agnanaed iti rabaw ti daga, ket inkeddengnan dagiti naidutok a tiempoda ken dagiti pagpatinggaan dagiti disso a pagnaedanda.
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;
Ngarud, masapul a birukenda ti Dios ket nalabit a makaasidegda kenkuana ken masarakanda isuna, ken iti kinapudnona, saan isuna nga adayo manipud iti uray siasinoman kadatayo.
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.’
Gapu ta kenkuana, agbibiagtayo ken agtigtignaytayo ken addaantayo iti katatao, a kas kinuna iti maysa kadagiti bukodyo a dumadaniw, 'Ta datayo met dagiti kaputotanna.'
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.
Isu nga agsipud ta kaputotannatayo ti Dios, masapul a saantayo a panpanunoten a ti kinadios ket kasla balitok, wenno pirak, wenno batbato, a sinukog ti laing ken kapanunotan ti tao.
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,
Pinalabas ngarud ti Dios dagiti tiempo ti kinaawan ammo, ngem ita bilbilinenna amin a tattao iti sadinoman nga agbabawi.
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.”
Daytoy ket gapu ta nangikeddeng isuna iti aldaw a panangukomnanto iti lubong iti kinalinteg babaen iti tao a pinilina. Pinaneknekan ti Dios daytoy a tao iti tumunggal maysa babaen iti panangpagungarna kenkuana manipud iti patay.”
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.
Ita, idi nangngegan dagiti tattao idiay Atenas ti panagungar ti natay, linais dagiti dadduma ni Pablo; ngem kinuna dagiti dadduma, “Agdengngegkaminto manen kenka maipanggep iti daytoy a banag.”
33 And so Paul left the Court.
Kalpasan dayta, pinanawan ida ni Pablo.
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.
Ngem nakitipon kenkuana ti dadduma kadagiti tattao ken namatida, pakairamanan ni Dionisio nga Areopago, ti babai a managan Damaris, ken dadduma pay a kaduada.
