Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
Isaanis Amfiipholiisii fi Apholooniyaa keessa darbanii Tasaloniiqee iddoo manni sagadaa Yihuudootaa ture dhufan.
2 and Paul, as his custom was, went in unto them, and for three sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures,
Phaawulosis akkuma amala isaa mana sagadaa seenee guyyaa Sanbataa sadii dubbii kitaabaa irratti isaan wajjin dudubbachaa,
3 opening and alleging, that it behoved the Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom, [said he], I proclaim unto you, is the Christ.
akka Kiristoos dhiphachuu fi warra duʼan keessaa kaʼuu qabu addeessaa, mirkaneessaas ture. Innis, “Yesuus ani amma isinitti himu kun Kiristoosii dha” jedhe.
4 And some of them were persuaded, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
Yihuudoota keessaa tokko tokko, Giriikota Waaqa sodaatan keessaas namoonni akka malee baayʼatanii fi dubartoonni bebeekamoon hedduun amananii Phaawulosii fi Siilaasitti dabalaman.
5 But the Jews, being moved with jealousy, took unto them certain vile fellows of the rabble, and gathering a crowd, set the city on an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them forth to the people.
Yihuudoonni garuu hinaaffaan guutaman; isaanis iddoo gabaatii kashlabboota tokko tokko walitti qabatanii, uummatas kakaasanii magaalaa keessatti goolii uuman; Phaawulosii fi Siilaasinis fuula uummataa duratti dhiʼeessuuf jedhanii isaan barbaacha mana Yaasonitti fiigan.
6 And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
Yommuu jara dhabanitti immoo Yaasonii fi obboloota tokko tokko harkisaa fuula qondaaltota magaalaa duratti dhiʼeessanii akkana jedhanii iyyan; “Namoonni addunyaa hunda rakkisaa turan kunneen amma kunoo as dhufaniiru;
7 whom Jason hath received: and these all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus.
Yaasonis mana isaatti isaan simateera. Hundi isaaniis, ‘Mootiin biraa kan Yesuus jedhamu tokko jira’ jedhanii labsii Qeesaariin mormu.”
8 And they troubled the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
Uummannii fi qondaaltonni magaalaa sanaas yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti ni raafaman.
9 And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Isaanis Yaasonii fi warra kaan irraa qabsiisa fuudhanii gad isaan dhiisan.
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea: who when they were come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Obboloonnis yeruma sana Phaawulosii fi Siilaasin halkaniin Beeriyaatti ergan; isaanis yommuu achi gaʼanitti mana sagadaa Yihuudootaa seenan.
11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily, whether these things were so.
Yihuudoonni Beeriyaa Yihuudoota Tasaloniiqee irra qalbii qabeeyyii turan; isaanis fedhii guddaan dubbii sana fudhatanii akka wanni Phaawulos jedhe sun dhugaa taʼee fi akka dhugaa hin taʼin ilaaluuf jedhanii guyyuma guyyaan Katabbiiwwan Qulqulluu qorachaa turaniitii.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honourable estate, and of men, not a few.
Kanaaf Yihuudoota keessaa baayʼeen ni amanan; akkasumas dubartoonni Giriik beekamoon hedduunii fi dhiironni Giriik hedduun ni amanan.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed of Paul at Beroea also, they came thither likewise, stirring up and troubling the multitudes.
Yihuudoonni Tasaloniiqee yommuu akka Phaawulos Beeriyaa keessattis dubbii Waaqaa lallabaa ture dhagaʼanitti achis dhaqanii rakkoo uumanii uummata kakaasan.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul to go as far as to the sea: and Silas and Timothy abode there still.
Obboloonni immoo yommusuma Phaawulosin gara qarqara galaanaatti ergan; Siilaasii fi Xiimotewos garuu Beeriyaatti hafan.
15 But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.
Namoonni Phaawulosin geggeessanis Ateenaan isa gaʼanii akka Siilaasii fi Xiimotewos hamma isaanii dandaʼametti dafanii Phaawulos bira dhaqaniif ajaja fuudhaniifii deebiʼan.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him, as he beheld the city full of idols.
Phaawulos utuu Ateenaa keessatti isaan eegaa jiruu akka magaalaan sun waaqota tolfamoodhaan guutamte argee akka malee gadde.
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with them that met with him.
Kanaaf mana sagadaa keessatti Yihuudootaa fi Giriikota Waaqa sodaatan wajjin, iddoo gabaatti immoo guyyuma guyyaan warra achitti argaman wajjin falmaa ture.
18 And certain also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, What would this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
Gareen falaasamtoota Efiiqoroosiitii fi Istoʼiki tokkos isaan falmaa ture; isaan keessaa tokko tokko, “Namichi legellegaan kun maal jedha?” jedhan. Warri kaan immoo, “Inni waaʼee waaqota ormaa labsa fakkaata” jedhan. Phaawulos waaʼee Yesuusii fi waaʼee duʼaa kaʼuu lallabaa tureetii.
19 And they took hold of him, and brought him unto the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by thee?
Isaanis isa qabanii gara wal gaʼii Ariyoosphaagositti geessan; achittis akkana jedhaniin; “Barsiisni haaraan ati fidde kun maal akka taʼe beekuu dandeenyaa?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
Ati waan nu takkumaa hin dhagaʼin nutti himaa jirta; kanaaf nu akka wanni kun maal jechuu taʼe beekuu feena.”
21 (Now all the Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.)
Warri Ateenaa hundii fi namoonni biyya ormaa kanneen achi jiraatan yeroo isaanii waan haaraa dhagaʼuu fi odeessuu irratti malee waan biraa irratti hin balleessan ture.
22 And Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus, and said, Ye men of Athens, in all things I perceive that ye are somewhat superstitious.
Phaawulosis wal gaʼii Ariyoosphaagos walakkaa dhaabatee akkana jedhe; “Yaa namoota Ateenaa! Ani akka isin karaa hundaanuu warra amantaa taatan nan hubadha.
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 ye worship in ignorance, this set I forth unto you.
Ani yommuun nanaannaʼee waan isin waaqeffattan ilaaletti iddoo aarsaa kan katabbii, Waaqa hin Beekamneef, jedhu of irraa qabu argeeraatii. Egaa amma waan isin utuu hin beekin waaqeffattan kana isinittin hima.
24 The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
“Waaqni addunyaa fi waan ishee keessa jiru hunda uume sun Gooftaa samiitii fi lafaa ti; inni mana qulqullummaa kan harka namaatiin hojjetame keessa hin jiraatu.
25 neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
Inni mataan isaa sababii jireenya hafuura baafatamuu fi waan biraa hunda nama hundaaf kennuuf akka waan waa dhabeetti harka namaatiin hin tajaajilamu.
26 and he made of one every nation of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined [their] appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;
Inni saboota hunda nama tokko irraa uumee akka isaan lafa hunda irra jiraatan godhe; bara jireenyaa kan isaanii kennamee fi daarii lafa isaan jiraatanii murteesse.
27 that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:
Waaqni yoo tokkoo tokkoo keenya irraa fagoo jiraachuu baate iyyuu akka namoonni isa barbaadanii, tarii carraaqaniis isa argataniif jedhee waan kana godhe.
28 for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Akkuma beektonni keessan tokko tokko, ‘Nu ilmaan isaa ti’ jedhan sana ‘Nu isa keessa jiraanna; isa keessa sochoona; eenyummaa keenya illee isa keessatti qabaannaatii.’
29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.
“Kanaafuu nu waan ilmaan Waaqaa taaneef Waaqni waan akka warqee yookaan meetii yookaan dhagaa jechuunis waan ogummaa fi beekumsa namaatiin hojjetame fakkaata jennee yaaduu hin qabnu.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent:
Waaqni bara wallaalummaa durii hin ilaalu ture; amma garuu akka namni iddoo hunda jiru hundi qalbii jijjiirratu ajaja.
31 inasmuch as he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Innis guyyaa itti harka namicha filate sanaatiin qajeelummaadhaan addunyaatti muru murteesseeraatii; kanas warra duʼan keessaa isa kaasuun nama hundumaaf mirkaneesseera.”
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, We will hear thee concerning this yet again.
Isaan keessaa namoonni tokko tokko yommuu waaʼee duʼaa kaʼuu warra duʼanii dhagaʼanitti ni qoosan; warri kaan immoo, “Nu ammas dubbii kana sirraa dhagaʼuu barbaanna” jedhan.
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Kana irratti Phaawulos isaan keessaa baʼee deeme.
34 But certain men clave unto him, and believed: among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Namoonni tokko tokko garuu gama Phaawulos goranii amanan; isaan keessaas namichi Diiyonaasiyoos jedhamu kan miseensa Ariyoosphaagos ture tokko, dubartiin Damaariis jedhamtuu fi namoonni biraas isaan wajjin turan.
