Acts 17
1 After passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, Paul and Silas came to Thessalonica. Here the Jews had a synagogue;
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas xiꞌkꞌow pa taq ri tinimit Anfípolis xuqujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Apolonia, xoꞌpan kꞌa pa ri tinimit Tesalónica, chilaꞌ kꞌo wi jun Sinagoga ke ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
2 and, following his usual custom, Paul joined them, and for three Sabbaths addressed them, drawing his arguments from the scriptures.
Ri Pablo naqꞌatal che, xeꞌ pa ri mulim ibꞌ pa ri Sinagoga, chilaꞌ xkꞌojiꞌ wi oxibꞌ qꞌij rech uxlanem, xutzijoj ri utzij ri Dios ri tzꞌibꞌatalik xuqujeꞌ xuꞌtaqchiꞌj ri winaq chuchꞌobꞌik rij ri tzꞌibꞌatal pa ri tyoxalaj wuj.
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.”
Xuqꞌalajisaj ri tzijotal loq chirij ri Mesías, chi kuriq na kꞌax xuqujeꞌ kakꞌastaj na chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ. Xubꞌij chike: Ri Jesús ri kintzijoj chiꞌwe are Mesías.
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.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel are xkita ri xbꞌix chike, xekojonik, xoꞌk che kachiꞌl ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas, xoꞌk xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ e kꞌi achyabꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ ri nim keqeleꞌn.
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;
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel xpe etzelal pa kanimaꞌ rumal ri xkꞌulmatajik, xeꞌkimulij ri winaq chubꞌanik etzelal. Xoꞌk pa rachoch ri Jasón xkitzukuj ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas rech keꞌkichararej loq keꞌkikꞌam la chikiwach ri winaq.
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,
Man xeꞌkiriq ta kꞌut chilaꞌ. Rumal riꞌ are xkijururej bꞌik ri Jasón xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj kojonelabꞌ chik che kikꞌexwach xeꞌkikꞌam bꞌik chikiwach ri qꞌatal tzij rech ri tinimit. Xkiraq kichiꞌ xkibꞌij: Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas tajin kakikoj kꞌaxkꞌolal chikixoꞌl ri winaq pa ronojel ri uwachulew e kꞌo kꞌu waral chanim tajin kakisach ri kichomabꞌal ri qawinaq.
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!”
Ri Jasón xuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj we winaq ri pa ri rachoch, we winaq riꞌ uꞌkꞌulel ri César rumal cher kakinaꞌtaj jun taqanel chik ubꞌiꞌ Jesús.
8 On hearing this, the people and the city magistrates were much concerned;
Ri winaq xuqujeꞌ ri e qꞌatal taq tzij are xkita we jastaq riꞌ man xkiriq taj jas xkibꞌano.
9 and, before letting them go, they took bail from Jason and the others.
Ri e qꞌatal taq tzij xkibꞌij che ri Jasón xuqujeꞌ chike ri nikꞌaj kojonelabꞌ chi rajawaxik kakitoj jun pwaq rumal ri xkibꞌano, xkitoj kꞌut, kꞌa te riꞌ xetzoqopix bꞌik.
10 That very night the followers sent Paul and Silas off to Beroea; and on reaching that place, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
Che ri chaqꞌabꞌ riꞌ, ri kojonelabꞌ xeꞌkitaq bꞌik ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas pa ri tinimit Berea, are xoꞌpan chilaꞌ xeꞌbꞌe pa ri Sinagoga.
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.
Ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Berea kꞌo na xetow tzij chikiwach ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Tesalónica, xkita ri utz laj tzij rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal, xuqujeꞌ qꞌij chi qꞌij xkisolij ri utzij ri Dios ri tzꞌibꞌatalik rech jeriꞌ xkilo we qas tzij ri kakitzijoj ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas o man tzij taj.
12 As a consequence, many of them became believers in Christ, besides a considerable number of Greek women of position, and of men also.
E kꞌi kꞌu winaq aꞌj Israel xekojonik, xekojon xuqujeꞌ achyabꞌ, ixoqibꞌ, nimaꞌq keqeleꞌn ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
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.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun winaq aꞌj Israel ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Tesalónica, are xkito chi ri Pablo tajin kutzijoj ri utzij ri Dios pa ri tinimit Berea, xebꞌe je laꞌ xeꞌkimulij winaq rech kakibꞌan kꞌax che ri Pablo.
14 The followers immediately arranged for Paul to go away to the coast, but both Silas and Timothy stayed behind in Beroea.
Are xkita ri kojonelabꞌ aninaq xkitaq bꞌik ri Pablo pa ri tinimit ri kꞌo chuchiꞌ ri Plo. Ri Silas kꞌut rachiꞌl ri Timoteo xekanaj kan pa ri tinimit.
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.
Ri Pablo xkꞌam bꞌik xeꞌyoꞌq kan pa ri tinimit Atenas kumal nikꞌaj achyabꞌ kꞌa te riꞌ xetzalij loq we achyabꞌ riꞌ chikikowixik ri Silas rachiꞌl ri Timoteo rech keꞌbꞌe rukꞌ ri Pablo chubꞌanik ri kipatan. Ri Pablo kꞌo pa ri tinimit Atenas
16 While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his heart was stirred at seeing the whole city full of idols.
Ri Pablo are e rayeꞌm apanoq ri Silas rachiꞌl ri Timoteo koꞌpanik, xbꞌisonik are xril ri kikꞌiyal ri e bꞌanom taq dios ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit.
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.
Xaq jeriꞌ xeꞌ pa ri Sinagoga xutij chuqꞌabꞌ pa tzij kukꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj ri kakixiꞌj kibꞌ cho ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ ri winaq ri kakimulij kibꞌ pa ri kꞌayibꞌal.
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).
Xuchꞌoꞌqꞌ uwach ri kichomanik ri achyabꞌ epicúreo xuqujeꞌ estoico. ri sibꞌalaj kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal. Xutzijoj ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ ri ukꞌastajibꞌal wach chike, ri winaq are xkita ri xubꞌij, ri Pablo xkibꞌij: ¿Jas karaj kubꞌij we tzijonel laj achi rukꞌ ri jaljoj taq uchomanik? Nikꞌaj winaq xkibꞌij: Are kutzijoj kibꞌiꞌ e dios rech juleꞌ taq tinimit chik.
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?
Xkikꞌam kꞌu bꞌik ri Pablo pa ri areópago chikiwach ri nimaq taq kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri tinimit, xkibꞌij che chatzijoj chaqe we kꞌakꞌ kꞌutuꞌn ri awukꞌaꞌm loq.
20 For you are bringing some strange things to our notice, and we should like to know what they mean.”
Jaljoj ri jastaq ri katzijoj, kaqaj kꞌut kaqato jas kel kubꞌij ri kabꞌij.
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.)
(Ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Atenas, xuqujeꞌ ri kubꞌe solin pa ri tinimit riꞌ, kikꞌatik kakitzijoj rij kꞌakꞌ taq chomanik).
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.
Xtakꞌiꞌ kꞌu ri Pablo chikiwach ri kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri winaq xubꞌij: Achyabꞌ aꞌj Atenas, kinwilo chi sibꞌalaj jeqel ikꞌuꞌx chupam ri kibꞌano.
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.
Are tajin kinbꞌin pa ri tinimit, xinwil ri ukꞌiyal ri kꞌolibꞌal ri kixqꞌijilaꞌn wi, cho kꞌu ri jun tzujbꞌal sipanik tzꞌibꞌatal we tzij riꞌ: “Che ri Dios ri man etaꞌmatal ta uwach.” We Dios riꞌ, ri kiqijilaꞌj ri man iwetaꞌm ta uwach, areꞌ waꞌ ri kintzijoj.
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,
Are Dios ri xbꞌanow ri uwachulew, xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri kꞌo choch, are Rajaw ri kaj ulew. Areꞌ man kakꞌojiꞌ ta pa taq ri ja qꞌijilaꞌbꞌal yaktal kumal ri winaq.
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.
Man kiqꞌabꞌ ta winaq kapataninik, maj urajawaxik. Rumal cher areꞌ yoꞌwinaq kikꞌaslemal xuqujeꞌ ruxlabꞌal ronojel ri kꞌolik, xuqujeꞌ uyoꞌm ri kajawataj chike.
26 He made all races of the earth’s surface – fixing a time for their rise and fall, and the limits of their settlements –
Xa jun achi xukoj che kikꞌiyarisaxik ri winaq cho ri uwachulew. Kꞌamajaꞌ kutik ri achi are xuchomaj jas jeꞌ kubꞌan na jas jeꞌ kanoꞌjin na, xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌolibꞌal ri kakꞌojiꞌ wi na.
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;
Ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios chike ri winaq pa ronojel tinimit are chi kakitereneꞌj ri ubꞌe ri Dios, kakitzukuj ri Dios, pune man naj taj kꞌo wi ri Dios, chaqe.
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.’
“Rumal re ri Dios uj kꞌaslik, uj kꞌolik, kujsalabꞌik.” Jetaq ta ne ri xkibꞌij ri xetzꞌibꞌan ri qꞌajajem tzij iwukꞌ: “Uj uj rijaꞌl ri Dios.”
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.
Saq ri xkibꞌij, rumal laꞌ man kuya taj kaqachomaj chi ri Dios, xa jun tzꞌaq ri bꞌanom kumal che qꞌana o saq pwaq kumal ri ajchakibꞌ, man che ta abꞌaj bꞌantal wi.
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,
Ojer kanoq ri Dios xuꞌkuy ri winaq are xkibaꞌn we jastaq riꞌ, rumal cher man kꞌo ta ketaꞌmabꞌal, kamik kꞌut kataqanik chi konojel ri winaq rech ri uwachulew, kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx, kakiqꞌil kibꞌ che ri kimak rech ketzalij rukꞌ Areꞌ.
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.”
Rumal chi ri Dios uchaꞌom jun achi ri jun qꞌijal kuqꞌat na tzij pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri winaq cho ri uwachulew, ri achi riꞌ xukꞌut chikiwach konojel ri winaq are xukꞌastajisaj chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.
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.
E kꞌo jujun winaq xetzeꞌnik are xkito chi ri Pablo kutzijoj chi kekꞌastaj ri kaminaqibꞌ, e kꞌo xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj xkibꞌij: Jun qꞌijal chik katzijoj chaqe we ri.
33 And so Paul left the Court.
Xtaniꞌ kꞌu ri Pablo che tzijonem kukꞌ ri winaq.
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.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun winaq xoꞌk che rachiꞌl, xekojonik, xkojon xuqujeꞌ jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Dionisio, jun kꞌamal bꞌe ke ri winaq, jun ixoq ubꞌiꞌ Damaris, xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj winaq chik.
