Acts 17
1 And, travelling through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews;
Hangi nai akakila mu isali nia Amfipoli ni Apolonia, ai azile kupikiila kisali nika Thesalonike naza likoli i tekeelo nila Ayahudi.
2 and, according to Paul’s custom, he went in unto them, and, for three sabbaths, reasoned with them from the Scriptures, —
Anga ni yili ntendo ang'wa Paulo, wakalongola kitalao, nu ku itungo nila mahiku ataatu nia luhiku nula kusupya ai witambuuye nienso migilya a ukilisigwa.
3 opening up, and setting forth, that it was needful for, the Christ, to suffer, and to arise from among the dead; and [saying], This, is the Christ, —Jesus, whom, I, am declaring unto you.
Ai watulaa uku akunukuilya u ukilisigwa nu kuaganuila kina, ai imutakile uKristo wagishe ni uugwa kiuka hangi kupuma ku ashi. Ai uatambuie, “Uyu uYesu nikumutambuila i nkani niakwe yuyo Kristo.”
4 And, some from among them, were persuaded, and cast in their lot with Paul and Silas; also, of the devout Greeks, a great throng, and, of the chief women, not a few.
Ang'wi nia Ayahudi ai apemekile nu kihanguila nu Paulo nu Sila, palung'wi ni Agiriki akulya Itunda, asungu idu aokole ni idale ikulu nila antu.
5 But the Jews, being, jealous, and taking unto themselves certain wicked men, of the rabble, and making a riot, were setting the city in an uproar; and, besieging the house of Jason, were seeking to lead them forth unto the populace, —
Kuiti ang'wi a Ayahudi ni shanga ahuiie, nai izuiwe nu wilu, ai alongoe ki isoko nu kuahola ang'wi a antu ni abibi, akalundiila iumbi nila antu palung'wi, nu kusasha minyomo mu kisali, uugwa akaligilinkiilya ito nilang'wa Jason, aze aloilwe kua amba uPaulo nu Sila iti kualeta ntongeela ya antu.
6 and, not finding them, they began dragging Jason and certain brethren unto the city-rulers, shouting—They who have thrown the inhabited earth into confusion, the same, hither also, are come, —
Kuiti nai aka aulya, ai amuambile u Yasoni ni ang'wi a anyandugu auya nu kuatwala ntogeela a aofisa nia kisali, azekua iyogo, “Awa i agoha naza aupiue u unkumbigulu apika kupikiila kunu ga.
7 unto whom Jason hath given welcome; and, these all, contrary to the decrees of Caesar, are acting, —saying that there is another king, Jesus.
Agoha awa naza asingiigwe nu Yasoni akulitumuila ilagiilyo lang'wa Kaisari, akuligitya ukoli mutemi mungiiza nuitangwaa Yesu.”
8 And they troubled the multitude and the city-rulers, when they heard these things;
Iumbi ni a ofisa nia kisali nai akija i makani nanso, ai ingiiwe nu mitumbo.
9 and, taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ze yakilaa kutula akondya kuhola i mpia nia nsailo a usunja kupuma kung'wa Yason ni auya, ai a alekee alongole.
10 But, the brethren, straightway, during the night, sent away both Paul and Silas unto Beroea, who, indeed, arriving, unto the synagogue of the Jews, went off;
Utiku nuanso anya ndugu ai amulagiiye uPaulo nu Sila ku Beroya. Hangi nai akapika kung'wanso akalongola mi itekeelo nila Ayahudi.
11 and, these, were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they welcomed the word with all readiness of mind, daily, searching the Scriptures, —whether these things could be so.
Antu awo ai atula akete u ulingi ukulu kukila i antu awo nia ku Thesalonike, ku nsoko ai akete nu ukondaniili nua kusingiilya u lukani ku mahala ao, nu kupukania u ukilisigwa kila mahiku iti kihenga anga ize imakani nai aganuwe uu nili.
12 Many, therefore, from among them, believed, and, of the Grecian women of the higher class, and of men, not a few.
Ku lulo idu ao ai ahuiie, aze amoli asungu niakete u upemi ukulu nua Kigiriki ni agoha idu.
13 But, when the Jews from Thessalonica came to know that, in Beroea also, had the word of God been declared by Paul, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitudes.
Kuiti Ayahudi nia ku Thesalonike nai akalinga kina uPaulo ukutanantya lukani lang'wa Itunda uko ku Beroya, ai alongoe kuko nu kukinyiila ni uugwa nu kandiilya minyomo ku antu.
14 Howbeit, then, immediately, the brethren sent away, Paul, to be journeying as far as unto the sea; and both Silas and Timothy stayed behind, there.
Ku ukau, i aluna akamutwala uPaulo ku nzila a luzi, kuiti uSila nu Timotheo akasaga pang'wanso.
15 But, they who were conducting Paul, brought him as far as Athens, and, receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy, that with, all possible speed, they would come unto him, they departed.
Awo i anya ndugu nai amutwae uPaulo ai alongoe nu ng'wenso kupikiila ku Athene, nai akamuleka uPaulo kuko, ai asingiiye i malagiilyo kupuma kitalakwe kina, uSila nu Timotheo apembye kitalakwe ku ukau ni ihumikile.
16 But, while, in Athens, Paul was expecting them, his spirit within him was being urged on, seeing how the city was given to idols.
Ni itungo nai ualindiie uko ku Athene, nkolo akwe ikatakigwa mukati akwe ku iti nai wihengile i kisali nai kizue i adudu idu.
17 So then, he began reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them who worshipped; and, in the market-place, every day, with them who happened to be at hand.
Itigwa akitambulya mu itekeelo ni Ayahudi awo nai amukiye Itunda nu ku awo ihi nai utankanile ni enso kila luhiku mi soko.
18 But, certain both of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were encountering him; and some were saying—What might this picker-up-of-scraps wish to be saying? And, others—Of foreign demons, he seemeth to be a declarer: because, of Jesus and the Resurrection, he was announcing the joyful tidings.
Kuiti ang'wi a alingi nia a Aepikureo ni Astoiko akamukungiilya. Ni auya akaligitya, “Ingi ki ntuni ukukiligitya uyu u muligitya nu mudabu? iAuya akaligitya, “Yigeelekile ukutanantya nkani niang'wa Itunda muziila.” ku nsoko ukutanantya nkani yang'wa Yesu nu wiukigwa.
19 And so, laying hold of him, they brought him up, to the Hill of Mars, saying—Can we get to know what this new teaching is, which, by thee, is being spoken.
Akamohola uPaulo nu kumuleta ku Areopago, azeligitya, “Kuhumile kulinga uwu umanyisigwa uziila nuku uligitya?
20 For, certain foreign things, art thou bringing into our hearing: We are minded to get to know, therefore, what these things please to be!
Ku nsoko ukuleta makani maziila mu akutwi itu. Ku iti kuloilwe kulinga makani aya akete ndogoelyo kii?”
21 Now, all Athenians and the sojourning foreigners, unto nothing else, were devoting their leisure, than to be telling or hearing, something newer.
(Ni antu ihi nia ku Athene palung'wi ni aziila ni amoli kitalao, itumila itungo nilao ang'wi mu uligitya nu kutegeelya migulya a ikani ni iziila.)
22 And Paul taking his stand in the midst of the Hill of Mars, said—Ye men of Athens! In every way, how unusually reverent of the demons ye are, I perceive.
Ku lulo uPaulo akimika pakati a antu nia ku Areopago nu kuligitya, Unyenye antu aku Athene, kihenga kina ingi antu a ikumbiko ku kila mpyani,
23 For, passing through, and carefully observing your objects of devotion, I found an altar also, in which was inscribed—Unto an Unknown God. What, therefore, not knowing, ye reverence, the same, do, I, declare unto you.
Kuiti mu ukili nua ki talane nu kugoza i intu nianyu nia kipoelya, nihengile makani nakilisigwe mu ling'wi ikumbikilo lanyu, likuligitya “KUNG'WA ITUNDA NI SHANGA UKUMUKILE.” Itigwa, nuanso ni mukumipolya ize shanga mulingile, yuyo niku mupikilya unyenye.
24 The God that made the world and all things that are therein, the same, being, Lord, of heaven and earth, not in hand-made shrines, doth dwell,
Itunda nai u umbile ihi ni kila i kintu ni kikoli mukati, kunsoko ingi Mukulu nua ilunde ni ihi, shanga uhumile kikie mu matekeelo nazipigwe ni mikono.
25 nor, by human hands, is waited upon, as though in want of anything, himself, giving unto all life and breath and all things;
Hangi shanga wi ailigwa ga ni mikono a ana adamu anga kina uloilwe kintu kitalao, kuiti u ng'wenso mukola wi inkiilya antu upanga ni mihupo ni intu ingiiza yihi.
26 he made also, of one, every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, —marking out fitting opportunities, and the bounds of their dwelling place,
Ku kiila muntu ung'wi, ai uzipilye u ingu wihi ni antu ni ikiie migulya a usu nui ihi, hangi waka aikilya matungo ni mimbi mu nkika ni ikiie.
27 that they might be seeking God—if, after all, indeed, they might feel after him and find him, —although, in truth, he is already not far from any one of us.
Ku iti, atakiwe kumuduma Itunda, ni tai amupikiile nu kumulija, hangi ku kulu kuulu wikutili kuli ni kila ung'wi nu itu.
28 For, in him, we live and move and are: as, even some of your own poets, have said—For, his offspring also, we are.
Ki talakwe kikie, kigendaa nu kutula nu upanga nuitu, anga iti mutungi nuanyu ung'wi nua ilumbiilyo nai uligitilye 'ki atuugwa akwe.'
29 Being, then, offspring, of God, we ought not to be supposing that, unto gold or silver or stone, graven by art and device of man, the Divine, is like.
Ku lulo anga itule usese ingi atuugwa ang'wa Itunda, shanga kutakiwe kusiga kina u itunda ingi anga zahabu, ang'wi shaba, ang'wi magwe, adudu nu sesilwe ku ulingi ni masigo a antu.
30 The times of ignorance, therefore, overlooking, God, as things now are, is charging all men everywhere to repent,
Ku lulo, Itunda ai ukilagiiye i matungo ayo na upungu, kuiti itungili ulagiiye antu ihi kila kianza ile itunu.
31 inasmuch as he hath appointed a day, in which he is about to be judging the habitable earth in righteousness, by a man whom he hath pointed out, —offering faith unto all, by raising him from among the dead?
Iki ingi ku nsoko uikile luhiku nuika milamula ihi ku tai ane ku muntu naiza ai umuholanilye. Itunda ai upumilye i kulu kuulu na mumtu uyu ku kila muntu pang'wanso nai umiukilye kupuma kuashi.
32 Now, when they heard of raising the dead, some, indeed, began to mock, while, others, said—We will hear thee, concerning this, even again.
Ni antu a Athene nai akija inkani nia kiukigwa ku ashi, ang'wi ao akamukuna uPaulo, ila i auya akaligitya, “Ku ukutegeelya hangi ku nkani nia ikani ili.”
33 Thus, Paul, came forth out of their midst.
Ze yakilaa pang'wanso, uPaulo aka aleka.
34 But, certain persons, joining themselves unto him, believed; among whom were even Dionysius the Mars-hill judge, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.
Kuiti ang'wi a antu ai ihanguie nu ng'wenso akahuiila, waze umoli uDionisio Mwareopago, nu musungu nuitangwaa Damari ni auya palungwi ni enso.
