Acts 17
1 And, travelling through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews;
Muda bapeta katika niji ya Amfipoli na Apolonia, baisile mpaka mji wa Thesalonike ambao pabile na sinagogi lya Ayahudi.
2 and, according to Paul’s custom, he went in unto them, and, for three sabbaths, reasoned with them from the Scriptures, —
Mana yaibile kawaida ya Paulo, ateyenda kwao, na kwa muda wa masoba matatu ga Sabato atijadiliana nabo nnani ya maandiko.
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.
Abile akibafungulia maandiko na kubaelekeza kuwa, impalike Kristo ateseke na boka po atifufuka kae na boka kwa bandu ba kiwo. Atiamakiya, “Yolo Yesu ywaniabakiye habari yake nga 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.
Baadhi ya Ayahudi batishawishika na kukengama na Paulo na Sila, pamope na Agiliki achaNnongo, alwawa banyansima baongofu na likundi likolo lya bandu.
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, —
Lakini baadhi ya Ayahudi baaminiya kwaa, batwelile na bwiu, batiyenda kusoko na kubatola baadhi ya bandu baovu, batikusanya kipenga sa bandu pamope, na kusababisha ghasia mjini, boka po batiivamia nyumba ya Jason, bapala kubakamwa Paulo na Sila ili kubaleta nnongi ya bandu.
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, —
Lakini batiwakosa, bankamwile Yasoni na baadhi ya alongo benge na kubapeleka nnongi ya maofisa ba mji, bakombwa ndoti, “Aba analome batiupimdua ulimwengu baikite mpaka huku pia,
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.
Analome aha batikaribishwa na Yasoni batiiharibia saliya ya Kaisaria, babaya pabile na mpwalume ywenge ywakemelwa Yesu.
8 And they troubled the multitude and the city-rulers, when they heard these things;
Kipenga sa bandu na maofisa ba mji pabayowine makowe ago, bajingii na wasiwasi.
9 and, taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Badala ya kuwa bayomwile kutola mbanje ya thamani ya ulinzi boka kwa Yasoni na benge, batibaachia bayende.
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;
Kilo chelo alongo batintuma Paulo na Sila Beroya. Na balipofika kolyo batiyenda katika lisinagogi lya 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.
Bandu balo babile na uwerevu nkolo kuliko balo bandu ba Thesalonike, kwa sababu babile na utayari wa kulipokya neno kwa ajili yabe, na kuchunguza maandiko kila lisoba ili kuona mana maneno galongelwa nga yabile kati yayabile.
12 Many, therefore, from among them, believed, and, of the Grecian women of the higher class, and of men, not a few.
Kwa eyo baingi babe batiamini, babile na anwawa babile na ushawishi nkolo ba Kigiriki na analome banyansima.
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.
Lakini Ayahudi na Thesalonike pabatigundua panga Paulo anatangaza neno lya Nnongo kolyo Beroya, batiyenda kolyo na kuchochea na boka po kuanzisha ghasia kwa bandu.
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.
Kwa haraka, alongo batimpeleka Paulo kwa ndela ya ziwa, Lakini Sila na Timotheo babaki kolyo.
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.
Balo alongo batimpeleka Paulo batiyenda niywembe hadi Athene, banlekite Paulo kolyo, batipokya maagizo boka kwake kuwa, Sila na Timotheo baise kwa haraka yaiwezekana.
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.
Na muda akibalenda kolyo Athene, roho yake itikasirishwa nkati yake kwa namna yaaubweni mji utwelilwe sanamu zanyansima.
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.
Nga nyoo atilongela katika sinagogi na Ayahudi balo batincha Nnongo na kwa balo akwembine nabo kila lisoba mu'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.
Lakini baadhi ya Banafalsafa ba Baepikureo na Wetoiko batibakabili. Benge babaya, “Namani chaakilongela yolo mlongelaji nchunu? Benge babaya, “Ibonekana atihubiri habari ya nnongo mgeni,” kwa sababu ahubiria habari ya Yesu na ufufuo.
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.
Kabantola Paulo na kunneta Areopago, babaya, “Twaweza yowa aga mafundisho mapya yaugalongela?
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!
Kwa mana waletya makowe gayambe katika makutu yitu. Kwa eyo twapala kugatanga makowe yabile ba maana gani?”
21 Now, all Athenians and the sojourning foreigners, unto nothing else, were devoting their leisure, than to be telling or hearing, something newer.
(Na bandu bote ba Athene pamope na ageni babile kwao, utumia muda wao katika longela na kusikiliza nnani ya likowe lya ayambe.
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.
Kwa eyo Paulo ayemi nkati ya bandu ba Areopago no baya, “Mwenga mwa bandu, naboa kuwa mwenga mwa bandu ba dini kwa kila namna,
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.
Kwani katika pitya kwango na kulola ilebe yinu ya kuabudu, niabweni maneno yatiandikwa katika jimo ya madhabahu yinu, labaya, “KWA NNONGO YWAJULIKANA KWAA,” Nga nyo bai, yolo mwamumwabudia bila tanga, ywamwajulisha mwenga.
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,
Nnongo ywaiumbile dunia na kila kilebe chabile nkati, kwa mana ni Ngwana wa kumaunde na nchi, aweza kwaa tama mu'mahekalu gachengwile na maboko.
25 nor, by human hands, is waited upon, as though in want of anything, himself, giving unto all life and breath and all things;
Na utmikiwa kwaa na maboko ga bandu kati panga wahitaji kilebe kwabe, kwani ywembe mwene awapeya bandu na pumzi na ilebe yenge yote.
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,
Pitya mundu yumo, apangite mataifa gote ya bandu batama nnani ya minyo ga dunia, na atibabekya muda na mipaka katika maeneo batama.
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.
Kwa eyo, baloba kumpala Nnongo, na yamkini bamfikie na kumpata, na kwa uhakika abile kwaa mbale na kila yumo witu.
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.
Kwake twatama, twatyanga na kuwa na ukoto witu, mana chelo mtunzi winu yumo wa shairi alongela 'tubile abelekwi bake'.
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.
Kwa eyo, mana itei twenga nin abelekwi ba Nnongo, twapalikwa kwaa kufikiri kuwa uungu ni kati dhahabu, au shaba, au maliwe, sanamu yaichongwa kwa ustadi na malango ga bandu.
30 The times of ignorance, therefore, overlooking, God, as things now are, is charging all men everywhere to repent,
Kwa eyo, Nnongo atinyamaza muda wolo wa ulalo, lakini nambeambe atiamuru bandu bote kila mahali bapate kutubu.
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?
Ayee nga sababu atibeka lisoba lyapala kuihukumu dunia kwa haki kwa mundu ywabile atimchawa. Nnongo atitoa uhakika wa mundu yolo kwa kila mundu kolyo atiyoka boka mu'kiwo.
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.
Na bandu ba Athene bayowine habari ya kufufuliwa kwa bandu ba kiwo, baadhi yao batimdhihaki Paulo, ila benge babaya, “Twalowa kukuyowa kae kwa habari ya likowe lee”
33 Thus, Paul, came forth out of their midst.
Baada ya hapo, Paulo atibaleka.
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.
Lakini baadhi ya bandu batikengamana niywembe baaminiya, na Dionisio Mwareopago, na Nwawa akemelwa Damari na ywenge pamope nabembe.
