Acts 17
1 When Paul and his companions had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Bhakapitilanjeje ku Ampipoli na ku Apolonia, gubhapitengenenje mpaka ku Teshalonike, kweneko jashinkupagwa shinagogi ja Bhayaudi.
2 As was his custom, Paul went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
A Pauli malinga nkubho gwabho gubhailundile, gubhakungulwishe nabhonji ga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kwa Mobha ga Pumulila gatatu gwangali pumulila.
3 explaining and presenting evidence that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, saying, “This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the Christ.”
Bhalilunguya na talashiya kuti yashinkupinjikwa a Yeshu bhapotekwe na bhayushe kukopoka kubhawilenje. Na kuti, “A Yeshu bhungunnungushiyangabho ni a Kilishitu.”
4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of the devout Greeks and quite a few prominent women.
Bhananji munkumbi gwabhonji gubhakulupalilenje nigubhailundilenje na a Pauli na a Shila. Na Bhagiliki bhabhagwinji bhaajogopangaga a Nnungu na bhanabhakongwe bhakulungwanji, gubhailundilenje.
5 But the Jews who refused to believe rounded up some evil men from the marketplace and formed a mob, setting the city in an uproar. They attacked Jason's house, seeking to bring Paul and Silas out to the public assembly.
Ikabheje Bhayaudi gubhakwetenje lupimililo, gubhapolekenje bhandunji bhangalinginji bha mmbone, gubhatendilenje ulendo nigubhakumbuyenje nnjasha pa shilambo powe. Gubhapitengenenje ku nyumba ja a Yashoni bhaliganishiyanga kuti kweneko shibhaapatanje a Pauli na a Shila nkupinga bhaapelekanje ku lugwinjili lwa bhandu.
6 But when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers to the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
Ikabheje bhangaapatanga, kwa nneyo gubhaakwekwetenje a Yashoni na bhakilishitu bhananji mpaka ku bhakulungwanji bha shilambo, bhalijobhelanga bhalinkutinji, “Bhene bhandunjibha bhanapuganyanga shilambolyo na nnaino bhaikengenenje na kukuno.
7 and Jason has welcomed them. They all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.”
A Yashoni bhashikwaposhelanga kunngwabho. Bhowe bhanakananga Malajilo ga a Kaishali, bhakutinji. ‘Bhapali bhakulungwa bhana bhashemwa a Yeshu.’”
8 And they stirred up the crowd and the city officials who heard these things.
Kwa gene malobhego, bhakulungwanji bha shilambo na lugwinjili lwa bhandunji gubhatengukenje.
9 But when the city officials had received a security bond from Jason and the others, they released them.
Gubhaatendilenje a Yashoni na ashaajabhonji bhowe bhashoyanje mmbiya, kungai gubhaaleshilenje bhajabhulangane.
10 As soon as it was night the brothers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived, they went to the synagogue of the Jews.
Ikaishileje shilo, bhakilishitu bhala gubhaapelekenje a Pauli na a Shila mpaka ku Bheloya. Bhakaikanganeje kweneko gubhajinjilenje nshinagogi ja Bhayaudi.
11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica, and they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
Bhene bhandunjibho pubhalinginji bhanguja kupunda bha ku Teshalonike bhala. Gubhaliposhelenje lilobhe lila kwa ntima gwa mmbone, gubhakaguyenje Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kila lyubha, nkupinga bhalolanje ibhaga ibheleketwa na a Pauli na a Shila ili ya kweli.
12 As a result, many of them believed, as did quite a few of the Greek women of high standing and the men.
Bhabhagwinji munkumbi gwabhonji mula bhakukulupalilangaga na bhanabhakongwe Bhagiliki bhakwetenje itengu na bhanabhalume bhabhagwinji.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica found out that Paul was proclaiming the word of God in Berea also, they went there as well, agitating the crowds.
Ikabheje Bhayaudi bha ku Teshalonike bhakapilikananjeje kuti a Pauli bhanalungaya lilobhe lya a Nnungu ku Bheloya, gubhapitengenenje kweneko, gubhatandubhenje kutenda nnjasha na kukwiya lugwinjili lwa bhandu.
14 Then the brothers immediately sent Paul away, as though he were going by sea, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.
Shangu bhakilishitu bhala gubhaapelesheyenje a Pauli mpaka kunyenje litanda, ikabheje a Shila na a Timoteo gubhalepekenje ku Bheloya.
15 Those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens, and after they had received an order for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.
Ikabheje bhaapelesheyenje a Pauli bhala, gubhaapelekenje mpaka ku Atene. Kungai, gubhabhujilenje na ntenga kukopoka kwa a Pauli gwa kuti, a Shila na a Timoteo bhanakabhanje kwaakagula ku Atene.
16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was full of idols.
A Pauli bhali nkwaalindililanga a Shila na a Timoteo ku Ateneko, yashinkwaashima muntima gwabho bhakaibhoneje yanamu ya ashinnungu igumbele shene shilambo shila.
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout Greeks, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there.
Bhai, nshinagogi a Pauli bhatendaga kunguluka na Bhayaudi na bhandunji bhana bhaajogopangaga a Nnungu na kila lyubha bhatendaga tenda nkungulu gwa palugwinjili na bhandunji bhobhowe bhaibhoneyangaga penepo.
18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. Some said, “What is this babbler trying to say?” But others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities.” (They said this because he was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.)
Na bhananji bhakagulangaga majiganyo ga a Epikulo na a Ashitoiki gubhataukenje. Bhananji bhalinkutinji, “Bhapinga bheleketa nndi bhangumbabha?” Bhananji gubhashiteanje, “Paabhoneka mbuti bhanalunguya ga ashi nnungu bha shijeni.” Pabha a Pauli bhatendaga lunguya ga a Yeshu na ga yuka.
19 So they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is that yoʋ are presenting?
Kwa nneyo gubhaatolilenje a Pauli gubhaapelekenje ku lukumbi lwa ashikalongolele bha shilambo lwashemwaga Aleopago, gubhashitenje, “Tunapinga tugamanye malombolelo ga majiganyo genu ga shijeni gunkulunguyaga.
20 For yoʋ are bringing some strange things to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.”
Indu ina itupilikene mmakutu getu inabhoneka ya shijeni kungwetu. Tunapinga tumumanye yene indui malombolelo gakwe nndi.”
21 (Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who dwelt there would spend their time in nothing else but talking about and listening to whatever the newest idea might be.)
Pabha bhandunji bha ku Atene na bhandunji bhananji bhatamanganaga kweneko bhatendaga pinganga kutagulilana na pilikanishiya ngani ja indu ya shijeni.
22 Paul then stood before the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see just how religious you are in every way.
Bhai, a Pauli gubhajimi pa lukumbi lwa Aleopago, gubhashite, “Mmashilambo bha pa Atene! Pungubhona kuti mmanganyanji nnatolelelanga kwa kaje ngani ja dini,
23 For as I was going around and closely observing yoʋr objects of worship, I even found an altar that had been inscribed: ‘To an unknown god.’ I proclaim to you therefore the one whom you worship in ignorance.
pabha punapitaga ako na koko nikwibhona indu yenunji munkujujilanga Nnungu, njikushibhona shitala shimo shijandishwe. ‘Kwa a Nunngu bhutukakwamanya.’ Bhai, nne ngunakunnungushiyanga, ga bhene a Nnungu bhunkwaatindibhalilanga gwangali kwaamanyabho.
24 The God who made the world and everything in it, who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made by hands,
“A Nnungu, bhapengenye shilambolyo na indu yowe ili nkati jakwe, bhashibha Bhakulungwa bha kunnungu na pa shilambolyo, bhalabho bhakatama mmajumba ga jujila Nnungu gashenjilwe na bhandunji.
25 neither is he served by the hands of men, as though he needed anything. Rather, he himself continually gives life and breath to all mankind.
Na wala shakwa shibhaapinga mundu abhatendele mbuti shipali shibhaaloleya, pabha bhenebho ni bhakwaapanganga bhandu bhowe gumi na kwaapanganga kila shindu.
26 From one bloodline he created every nation of mankind to dwell on the entire face of the earth. He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of where they would dwell,
Na kukoposhela kuka mundu jumo a Nnungu gubhapengenye bhandunji bha ilambo yowe nikwaatendanga bhajenelanje pa shilambolyo. Bhali bhajibhishile miongwe na mipika ja mmbali ya ilambo ya tama bhene bhandunjibho.
27 so that they might seek the Lord and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.
“Bhashinkutenda nneyo, nkupinga bhandunji bha ilambo yowe bhaaloleyanje nkali kwaapapaya papaya, iishile pakwabhona. Nkali nneyo, a Nnungu bhangataliya pubhali tome na uwe.
28 For in him we live and move and have our being, as even some of your own poets have said: ‘For we also are his offspring.’
Malinga shabhelekete mundu jumo, ‘Pabha mututama nkati jabho, tunajima jima, nikola gumi!’ Na malinga bhaajimba bhenunji bhana shibhashite lugulanga. ‘Uwe twaashibhana bhabho’
29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold, silver, or stone, an image formed by the skill and imagination of man.
Bhai ibhaga, uwe tuli twaashibhana bhabho a Nnungu, tukaapinjikwa kuganishiya kuti Unnungu ulandana na shaabhu, eu ela eu liganga, indu ibheywa kwa lunda lwa bhandunji.
30 Therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands all people everywhere to repent,
Bhai, bhukala gwa ubhelu gwa bhandunji gula a Nnungu bhashinkutenda mbuti bhakakuubhona. Ikabheje nnaino, a Nnungu bhanalajila bhandunji bhowe bha kila mmbali bhaipetanje.
31 because he has set a day on which he is going to judge the world in righteousness by a man he has appointed. He has provided assurance of this to everyone by raising this man from the dead.”
Pabha bhabhishile lyubha limo lya ukumula bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo gwangali kummonela mundu, kupitila mundu jumo jubhanng'agwile. A Nnungu bhashikong'ondela genego kwa kunnyuya jwene mundujo kukopoka kubhawilenje!”
32 Now when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to scoff, but others said, “We wish to hear about this from yoʋ again.”
Bhai, bhakaapilikananjeje a Pauli bhalibheleketa ngani ja yuywa bhawilenje, bhananji gubhatendilenje mbenji, ikabheje bhananji gubhashitenje, “Tunapinga tupilikanishiye kabhili jene nganiji.”
33 So Paul departed from them,
A Pauli gubhajabhwile, gubhaaleshilenje pa lukumbi pala.
34 but some of the people joined him and believed, among whom were Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Ikabheje bhandunji bhana gubhaakagwilenje na gubhakulupalilenje. Munkumbimo bhaapali a Dionishi bhaaliji bha munkumbi gwa Aleopago na bhakongwe bhamo lina lyabho a Damali na bhananji.
