Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through the cities of Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to the city of Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Pu vakhanghenda mumbunchenghe uwa Amfipoli na Apolonia, puvakhafikha kuvunchenge uwa khu Tesalonikhe ukhuyale ekhyo einyumba eiya khwisayeila Avayuta.
2 Paul, as his custom was, went to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures.
Nduvulwale ulwiho lwa Pavuli pu akhingeila khuvene pu aleikhwinchojanja navo, amamenyu ngha mbusimbe emilungu nghei datu einghya Sabati.
3 He was opening the scriptures and explaining that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead. He said, “This Jesus whom I proclaim to you is the Christ.”
Pu aleikhuvadeinduleila uvusimbe nukhuvavulanincha ukhuta, ya nonghile uKeilesite ukhunkuveilwa pu anchukhe khange ukhuhuma khuvunchukha. Pu akhavavula, “Akhata uYeisu uveinikhuvavula inongwa ncha mwene yei Keilesite”
4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, including a large number of devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women.
Pu avange Muvayuta vakhakela nukhweideikha puvakhahangana paninie nu Pavuli nu Sila, pu navava Vagiliki vope vavo va mweimeikhangha avuva eidikhe nukhukava uvupokhi valepyo neikheipungha eikheivaha eikhya vanu.
5 But the unbelieving Jews, being moved with jealousy, took certain wicked men from the marketplace, gathered a crowd together, and set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they wanted to bring Paul and Silas out to the people.
Pu Avayuta vale nakhavini savaleiveideikhi puvakhanchi lundamania avanu vuvingi puvakhava veidikhi avanu avapanji puvakhava khipunga nukhupela eimbwato pavunchenge, hange pukhayuvukhila nayeinyumba eiya Yasoni, vuvilonda ukhuvubata Pavuli nu Sila nukhuva nahengha pavanu.
6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain other brothers before the officials of the city, crying, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also.
Pu leino vavile valemilwe ukhuvavona puvakhamwibala uYasoni navakeilesite avange vakhavaheileikha khuvavaha vavunchenge puvakhata nukhyovela valeikhuta, “Avanu ava vyu vala vavo vikhuvakilivula avanu avankilunga khyoni puvinchile nakhunu khunu,
7 These men whom Jason has welcomed act against the decrees of Caesar; they say that there is another king—Jesus.”
U Yasoni vei avupeilile, pu avanu ava savikonga ululangheio lwa Kesali, pu vita khwale unkuludeva uyunge viita vei Yeisu”
8 The crowd and the officials of the city were disturbed when they heard these things.
Pu avanu eikhipungha khyoni navavaha vavunhenge vakhatimbukha mwitumbu vavile vapulikhe ewo.
9 But after the officials made Jason and the rest pay money as security, then they let them go.
Pu uYasoni nava nine vavile vahombile ihela puvakhavavopola, vakhavelekha valutanghe.
10 That night the brothers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Pu avakeileisite vayavo eikilo yeila yeila puvakhavalavuleila uPavuli nu Sila na yu Beloya. Vavile vafikhe ukhupuvakhinghila munyumba iyuvikheisayeila Avayuta.
11 Now these people were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
Avanu vala vale nuluhala ukhululeila vala avakhu Tesalonikhe ulwakhuva va lyupeilile eilimenyu neinumbula. eingolofu puvaleikhukongelela uvusimbe ifinghono fyoni ukhuta puvalumanye nghangho nghincho viwa vunghaleivwo.
12 Therefore many of them believed, including some influential Greek women and many men.
Pu leino avingi muveene vakhalyeideikha eilimenyu, avadala na vanghosi ava Gilikhi vuveingi.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God at Berea, they went there and stirred up and troubled the crowds.
Pu ieino Avayuta avakhu Tesalonike vavile vwene ukhuta uPavuli eilumbeileila eilimenyu lya Nguluve ukhu khu Veloya, puvakhaluta ukhwa puvakhanchi khyavanu eikhipungha khyavanu vakhava neimbwato khuvanu.
14 Then immediately, the brothers sent Paul to go to the sea, but Silas and Timothy stayed there.
Khya hanila, avakeileisite vala puvakhangh'eileikha uPavuli alutanghe khunyanja, pu leino uSila nu Timoti vakhasinginghala palapala.
15 Those who were leading Paul took him as far as the city of Athens. As they left Paul there, they received from him instructions for Silas and Timothy to come to him as quickly as possible.
Avakeileisite vala vavile vangh'eili khe uPavuli puvakhandhifikha nave nakhu Atene, puvakhandekha uPavuli ukhwa, puvakhupeila khumwene unghwavalanghile ukhuta uSila nu Timoti vinche khumwene khyahanila.
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
Pu avile ikhuvanghuleila ukhukhu Athene, enumbula y amwene yeikhavipa fincho umu alolile uvunchenge vula umuvudeinghile ifiihwani fyufingi.
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and others who worshiped God, as well as in the marketplace with those who happened to be there.
Pu leinu valemunyumba ya khweisayeila puakhinchofanja na Vayuta vavo vale veideikhi khwa Nguluve na vala vooni uvuanghanile navo isikhu nchoni palinghunchi.
18 But also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. Some said, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be one who calls people to follow strange gods,” because he was proclaiming Jesus and the resurrection.
Pu leino avanghana luhala ava epikuli nava sitoiki vakhamweideikha. Pu avange vakhata, “Inchova khinu kheikhi uyu unchofi uteta? Avange vakhata, “ivonekha ukhuta ilumbeileila inongwa inchaminguluve inongwa ncha Yeisu nu vunchukha.
19 They took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know this new teaching which you were speaking?
Piuvakhatola uPavuli vakhaluta nave pakheigima eikhyu vatenchangha pu pa -Alyopangho, valeikhuta, “Tuvaheile ukhunghamanya unghuvumanyeisya amanghenji angha?
20 For you bring some strange things to our ears. Therefore, we want to know what these things mean.”
Ulwakhuva vwinghengha nghangho manghenji mumbulukhutu ncheito. Pu leino lwinonghwa ukhulumanya angha khukhuta khwikhi?”
21 (Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing but either telling or listening about something new.)
(Ulwakhuva ava atene nava nghenji avatamangha ukhwa vale vwaseikhi unghwa khunchova khyukhyoni pu valekhuva vanu va khupuleiheincha inongwa imya.)
22 So Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I see that you are very religious in every way.
Pu leino uPavuli akheima pa nghati na nghali pavanu ava khu Aleopago nukhuta, “Umwe mweivanu va mu Atene, nivona ukhuta umwe muleivanu vamanguluve,
23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found an altar with this inscription, “To an Unknown God.” What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.
Pakhuva nukhunghenda khwango nukhulola ifinu fyeinyo ifyumukhufyeimeikha puneivwene amamenyu anghaveinghivwe pakheitekhelelo khyeinyo, anghita “KWA NGULUVE UVEISAMANYEIKHIKHE”. Pu leino uywa uvei mukhumweimeikha nukhwisaya pakhusita khumanya, vei uyu uveinukhuvavula umwe.
24 The God who made the world and everything in it, since he is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples built with hands.
Unguluve umpeli vakhilunga ni finu fyoni ifilimunghati, ulwakhuva vei nkuludeva va kyanya na pasi pakheilunga, savahile ukhutama mutembile inchipeliwe na mavokho.
25 Neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives people life and breath and everything else.
Pu khange umavokho ngha vanu punghikhunghaheila ukhuta pamo inonghwa khininie khuvene, pakhuva umwene yu mwene ikhuvapa avanu uvwumi nu mwuya ni finu ifinge fyoni.
26 From one man he made every nation of people to live on the surface of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons and the boundaries of their living areas,
Pu ukhunghendela khumunu umo, pu akhapela ifivumbukhu fyoni ifya vanu avavitama pakhilunga, hange akhavaveikhila eimiseikhi ni makha neha khilunga umuvitama.
27 so that they should search for God and perhaps they may feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us.
Pu lieno, pavandonde Unguluve ndapuyeingave pakhupalamasya puvakhambone, hange saleipavutali nu munu umo umo ndyufwe.
28 For in him we live and move and have our being, just as one of your own poets has said, 'For we also are his offspring.'
Khumwene mututameila, tunghenda nukhuva nuvwumi vweito, nduvu usimbi va lweimboatile tuleivaholiwa va mwene.'
29 Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the qualities of deity are like gold, or silver, or stone—images created by the art and imagination of man.
Pu lieno eingave ufwe tuleivaholwa va Nguluve sayeinonghile ukhusangha ukhuta uvu Nguluve khinu khya lutalama pange khahel apange khalinghanga ukhu umunu ipunja nulwunchi eikheihwani vunonu na masanghongha vanu.
30 Therefore God overlooked the times of ignorance, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent.
Pu Unguluve ale mya eimise ikhei ngheila einghya vupelwa pu leino eilangheila ukhuta avanu voni upuvalepwo vapelonghe.
31 This is because he has set a day when he will judge the world in righteousness by the man he has chosen. God has given proof of this man to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
Ulwakhuva aveikhile eikhingho eikhyakhuheingheila eikheilunga mbwayeilweli khumunu ula uvei ahaliwe. Unguluve ahuminche uvumanyi vwa munu uyu khumunu uveiavenchangha pala upu anchusinche ukhuhuma khuvunchukha.
32 Now when the men of Athens heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked Paul; but others said, “We will listen to you again about this matter.”
Pu na vanu ava khu Atene vavile vapulekhe einongwa eiya vunchukha vwa vafwile avange mbene pakhangh'ekha uPavuli, pu avange vakhata “Putukhukhupuleiheinchangha khange khulimenyu lya nongwa eiyei.
33 After that, Paul left them.
Pu apo leino, uPavuli akhavalekha.
34 But certain men joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Pu leino avanu avange vakhakongana nave vakheideikha uyunge mu avo vei Ndyonisi uva Mwareopago, nu Dala uvei ikheilangivwa Damali navange paninie na vene.
