Acts 17
1 Paul and Silas traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia [towns] and arrived at Thessalonica [city]. There was a Jewish meeting place there.
P'awlosnat Silasn Anfip'olisnat Ap'olon weeron beshat Teselonk'e maants boami, manoknowere ayhudiwots Ik' k'oni moo fa'ee b́teshi.
2 (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) Paul went into the meeting house, as he usually did. For three weeks [he went there] on each Jewish day of rest. Referring to the Scriptures [about the Messiah], he spoke to the people who were there.
P'awlos maniyere shin b́ k'alfok'o ayhudiwots Ik' k'oni moots b́ kindi, keez gawuyiwoshowere b́k'ut'raawon S'ayin mas'aafotse ash ashosh kish kitsfetstni b́ danifo.
3 He explained and showed that [the prophets wrote that] the Messiah needed to die and (to become alive again/to be raised from the dead [afterwards]). He told them: “This man Jesus, whom I am telling you about, is our Messiah. [He died and became alive again, just like the prophets predicted].”
Krstos gond bek'o de'er k'irotse tuwo bín b́geyituwok'o kitsit danifetst «Taa itsh b́ jangosh doo tshishyiru Iyesus Krstosiye» bíetfera b́tesh.
4 Some of the Jews [there] were persuaded by {believed} [what Paul had said] and began to associate with Paul and Silas. There were also many non-Jewish people there who worshipped God and many important women [who also believed the message about Jesus], and they began to associate with Paul and Silas.

5 But [some leaders of] the Jews there in Thessalonica became jealous [because many people believed what Paul taught]. So they went to the public square and persuaded some lazy men [who were loitering there] to follow them. [In this way, the leaders of] the Jews gathered a crowd and incited them to become noisy and start a riot [against Paul and Silas]. Those [Jews and others] ran to the house of [a man named] Jason. [He was the man who had invited Paul and Silas to stay at his house]. They wanted to bring Paul and Silas outside to where the crowd [of people was waiting].
Ayhudiwotsmó okoort fay tizitu fin deshawwotsi weer weeratse kakudek't tuuz bok'ri. Kitutse fayo b́tuwitwok'o bo woshi, P'awlosnat Silasn kishde'er ash ashosh imosh Iyason moo guurbodeki.
6 They discovered that Paul and Silas were not there, but they found Jason [and grabbed him]. They dragged him and some of the [other] believers to where the city officials/authorities and [many other people were gathered]. The men [who had brought Jason] shouted, “Those [two] men have caused trouble [IDM] everywhere [HYP] [they have gone]. Now they have come to our city,
Ernmó boon bo t'ut'tsok'oon Iyasonnat amants ik ikuwotsi kitmanitsi naashuwotssh t'intsosh geetsfere dek't boami, hank'o etfetst bokuhiri boteshi, «Hanots datsjamo gaak rne ando hanok waarnee!
7 and [this fellow] Jason invited them to stay at his house. All the people [of this sect] oppose what our Emperor has decreed. They say that another person, whose name is Jesus, is [the real] king!”
Iyasonwere boon dek't ibiree, ‹Iyesusi eteets k'osh nugúso fa'ee› ett Rom Naashi Naasho alo bok'efiri.»
8 When the crowd of people [that had gathered] and the city authorities heard that, they became very angry and excited.
Ash ashonat kitutsi naash naashuwots man boshishtsok'on dimbr bowutsi
9 [They wanted to put the believers in jail. But instead], the officials made Jason and the other [believers] pay a fine and told them that they [would give the money back to them if Paul and Silas did not cause any more trouble]. Then the authorities let Jason and those other believers go.
Iyasonnat k'oshuwotsn wusho s'eegiyit fakshbokri.
10 [So] that same night, the believers sent Paul and Silas [out of Thessalonica] to Berea [town]. When Paul and Silas arrived there, they went to the Jewish meeting place, [on a day when people had gathered there].
Eshu eshuwots P'awlosnat Silasn káári t'úwon Bery maants bo amtuwok'o bowoshi, Manok bo bodtsok'on ayhudiyots Ik' k'oni moots bokindi.
11 The [Jews] in Thessalonica had not been very willing to listen to God’s message, but the [Jews] who lived in Berea were very willing to listen, so they listened very eagerly to the message [about Jesus]. Every day they read the Scriptures [for themselves] to find out if what Paul said [about the Messiah] was true.
Beriyan fa'a ayhudiyots Teselonk'en fa'wotsiyere bogo kááwu finek boteshtsotse b́ aap'o gene'úwi eenon bodek'i, b́ aap'o ar b́ wotok'o kitsosh aawu aawon S'ayn mas'afotsi bos'ilfoni.
12 As a result, many of the Jewish people believed [in Jesus], and also some of the important non-Jewish women and many non-Jewish men [believed in him].
Mansh boyitsere ayuwots boamani, ay Grik datsatsi gaaletswots máátswots ay Grik datsatsi nungushuwots boamani.
13 But then the Jews in Thessalonica heard [people tell them] that Paul [was] in Berea and that he was preaching the message from God [about Jesus]. So they went to Berea and [told people there that what Paul was teaching was not true. Thus], they caused many of those people to get angry [at Paul].
Ernmó Teselok'en fa'a ayhudiyots P'awlos Beriyon Ik'i keewuts keewo b́ nabiruwok'o bodantsok'on manoor waat ashuwotsi gondon tizt bowaac'rituwok'o botizi.
14 So [several of] the believers [in Berea] took Paul to the coast [to go to another province]. But Silas and Timothy stayed in Berea.
Manoor eshu eshuwots káári P'awlos aats k'ari ganok b́ ametuwok'o bowoshi Silasnat T'imotiyosnmó manoke Beriyon bo oori.
15 When Paul and the other men from Berea [arrived at the coast, they got on a ship and] went to Athens [city]. Then Paul said [to the men who had come with him], “Tell Silas and Timothy to come to me [here in Athens] as soon as they can.” Then those men left [Athens and returned to Berea].
P'awlosi deents ashuwots Ateni bobetsi «Silasnat T'imotoyosn ja'araniye káári tiyok woonee» etiru P'awlos tzaziyo detsdek't Beriyo maants boaani.
16 In Athens, Paul waited for Silas and Timothy [to arrive. In the meantime, he walked around in the city. He] became very distressed/disturbed because he saw that throughout [HYP] the city there were many idols.
P'awlos Atenon wotdek't Silasnat T'imotiyosn b́ kotfere kitutsere dozets ik'uwots bos'entsok'o b́bek'tsotse ayidek't nibo b́k'uni.
17 So he went to the Jewish meeting place and talked [about Jesus] with the Jews, and also with the Greeks who had accepted what the Jews believe. He also went to the public square/center every day and talked to the people [whom he met] there.
Mansh ayhudiyots Ik' k'oni mootse ayhudiyotsnat Ik'osh Ik'iru ashuwotsnton jebatse aawu aawon b́ daatsiru ashuwotsnton b́mooshiri b́tehi.
18 Paul met some teachers who liked to talk about what people should believe. [People called] some of them Epicureans and [they called] others Stoics. They told Paul [what they believed], and they asked him [what he believed. Then] some of them said [to one another], “This ignorant person is just talking nonsense [RHQ]!” Others said, “[We(exc) think] that he is teaching people about (foreign gods/[new] gods that we [(exc)] have not heard about).” They said that because Paul was telling them that Jesus [had died and] had become alive again [afterwards. They had not heard that message before].
Epikorosotsnat Istokotsi eteets bog danetuwots b́ maants waatni bomooshfoni. Ik ikuwots «Ooshiyiruwan eeg etee b́geyi?» bo etor, k'oshuwotsmó «Handr ik'uwots janga arefee b́ keewiri? boetiri, man boetiruwere P'awlos Iyesusnat k'irotse b́tuwi doo shishi keewi jango b́ danitsoshe.
19 So they took Paul to the place where the city council met. [When they arrived] there, they said to Paul, “[Please] tell us, what is this new message that you [(sg)] are teaching people?
Mansh P'awlosi detsdek't Ariyosfagosi eteets beyokoke kakuwets ash ashok dek'wat bísh hank'o boeti, Nee ndaniyiru handr danan eeg b́wottsok'o dano falituwonowáá?
20 You are teaching some things that startle us [(exc)], so we want to know what they mean.”
Ib wotts ik ik keewwotsi noosh shiyirnee, mansh keewanots eeg bowottsok'o dano geefone.»
21 [They said that, because] the people of Athens and also the people from other regions who lived there continually talked about what was new [to them], or they listened to [others tell] what was new.
Man etts Atenitse beyirwotsnat Atenitse beyiru úridatsi ash jamwots handr keewu keewonat k'eboke bogizeyo beshiyo boshunfotsne.
22 Then Paul stood up before the men of the city council and said, “Citizens of Athens, I see that you (are very religious/think that it is very important to worship many gods).
Manoor P'awlos Aryosfagosn kakweetswots shinatse need'dek't hank'o bíet, «Ateen ashuwotso! jam weeron ayidek'at ik'uwotsi shatiru itwottsok'o t'iwintsdek'at dandek're,
23 I [say that] because, while I was walking along and observing the objects [that represent different gods that] you worship, I even saw an altar that had these words [that someone had] carved [on it: THIS HONORS] THE GOD [THAT WE(exc)] DO NOT KNOW. So now I will tell you about [that God] whom you worship but you do not know.
It kitotse gúúrat ananat it Ik' it ik'irwoko t s'iile ‹Danerawo Izar Izeweri› ett guut'etsoko wosh biyatse t'intseyiru t'arap'ezo daatsre, eshe taa and itsh t keewir it danawo bín it ik'iruwo Izar Izewer jangoniye.
24 He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Because he rules over all [beings in] heaven and [on] earth, he does not dwell in shrines that people have made.
Bíye Datsonat datsatse fa'a jamo aztsoniyee, Daronat datsonsh doonze, bíye ash kishon ageets Ik'i moots beerake,
25 He does not need to have anything made for him by people [MTY] {to have people [MTY] make [MTY] anything for him}, because everything that exists belongs to him. He is the one who causes (us [(inc)]/all people) to live and breathe, and [he gives us] all the things [that we(inc) need].
Kashonat kash jongon, k'osh keewwotsnowere ash jamosh imfo bí b́wottsotse bísh eegor shaprake, asho bín b́ tep'onowere bísh geyiratse.
26 [In the beginning], God created one couple, and from them God produced all (the ethnic groups/the nations) that now live everywhere on the earth. He also decided where each ethnic group of people should live and how long they should live [there].
Bíye ash naar jamone ik ashaatse azree, dats jamatsnowere bo beetuwok'o woshre, tiitsets duruwotsnat beyokuwotsnowere boosh b́ beezi.
27 He wanted people to realize that they need him. Then maybe they would seek him and find him. [God wants us to seek him], although he is [really] close [LIT] to each one of us.
Man b́ k'aluwere ashuwots doonzo geeyar daatso bofalituwok'owe, b́wotiyalor bí no ik iketsatse woka etaliye.
28 As someone has said, ‘[It is only] because he enables us that we [(inc)] live and move and do [what we do].’ And, as some of your own poets have said, ‘We [(inc)] are God’s children.’
‹Kasho daatsir nogiwit, Noo beetuwere bíne, › Manuwere itk wotts jááwetswots ‹Noo noúnets b́ nana' noone› bo ettsok'onee.
29 Therefore, because we are God’s children [and can communicate like God does], we [(inc)] should not think that he is anything like an image [that people have made] of gold or silver or stone [which cannot communicate]. Those images are designed and skillfully made {People design and make those images}, [but they are not alive].
Eshe noo b́ nana'a nowotiyakon ‹Ik'o ash danon, hasabiyon awntson wee ambaron wee shútson dozets aroniye bíari› err gawo noosh geyiratse.
30 During the times when people did not know [what God wanted them to do], he did not [immediately] punish [them for what they did]. But now God commands all people everywhere to turn away from their evil behavior.
Eshe ashuwots yoots dúr dáron bok'altso Ik'o kabiraniyere k'az beshere, andomó dats datsatse fa'a ash jamwots naandrone boetetuwok'o azazere,
31 [He tells us] that on a certain day that he has chosen he is going to judge [all of us(inc) people in] [MTY] the world. He has appointed a [certain] man to judge [us, and that man will judge each of us] fairly/justly. God has shown to all [people that he has appointed that man to judge everyone], because God (caused him to become alive again after he had died/raised him from the dead).”
Bí b́marat'ts asho weeron dats jamatse arikon b́angshit aawo beezdek're, hanowere jametsosh daniyidek't b́bek'sh b́marat'ts ashman k'irotse b́tuztsotsnee.»
32 When the men of the council heard [Paul say] that ([a man] had become alive again after he had died/[someone] had been raised from the dead), some of them laughed scornfully. But others said, “We [(exc)] would like you [(sg)] to tell us more about this, some other time.”
«K'irotse tuuwa» etiru aap'o boshishtsok'on ik ikuwots bín boaatsni, k'oshuwotsmó «Han jango k'osh aawots nkeewure k'ebetuwonee» boeti.
33 After they said that, Paul left the council [meeting].
Maniyere hakon P'awlos kakuwets ashuwotsoke kesht k'az bíami,
34 However, some of the people there went along with Paul and became believers. Among those [who believed in Jesus] was a member of the council whose [name was] Dionysius. Also, an [important] woman whose name was Damaris and some other people [who had heard Paul’s message also believed in Jesus].
