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.
Nabhafiha hu Amfipoli na hu Apolonia, bhafiha hu Thesalonike uhwo hwali nisinagogi lya Bhayahudi.
2 Paul, as his custom was, went to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures.
U Paulo azobheleye abhale amwabho ensiku zitatu ezyelutuyo adalisanyaga nabho mwibhangili.
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.”
Abhabhuulaga ezyazisimbilwe mwibhangili huje yaasimbilwe yu Yesu aje ailabha, aifwa nantele aizyuha afume hwa bhafwe yayunu yembabhuula enongwa zyakwe”
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.
Ayahudi bhamo na Giriki nabhasai bhabhinji bheteha bhafwata uPaulo.
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.
Lelo Ayahudi bhamo bhabhasuliha abhantu bhabhinji a bhahusokoni bhaalole ukero, bhaivamila enyumba ya Jason, aje bhabhakhate aPaulo nu Sila aje bhabhalete hwa bhantu.
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.
Naseebhabhaga bhakhata u Jasoni na bhanji bhabhatwala hwa ofisa bhe muji bhaga abhantu bhabhagaluzinye ensi bhafishile nuhuli,
7 These men whom Jason has welcomed act against the decrees of Caesar; they say that there is another king—Jesus.”
Abhalume ebha uJasoni abhakaribizizye bhananganya esheria ya Kaisari, bhaiga ahweli umfumu uwamwabho ahwitwa yu Yesu”
8 The crowd and the officials of the city were disturbed when they heard these things.
Ipuga lya maofa nabhahumvwa isho bhasingana umwoyo.
9 But after the officials made Jason and the rest pay money as security, then they let them go.
Nabhega hela zye ulinzi hwa Jasoni bhabhaleshela aje basogolaje.
10 That night the brothers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Nu siku bhatuma uPaulo nu Sila hu Beroya. Nabhafiha hula bhahinjila mwisinagogi lya Bhayahudi.
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.
Abhantu bhaala bhaali wenjele bhatejelezyaga zyabhayanga, a Paulo nu Sila, nazichunguzye aje zyazisimbilwe zyezyo.
12 Therefore many of them believed, including some influential Greek women and many men.
Abhinja bhahitishe na bhashi abheshi Giriki bhabhali nulusuliho nalume bhahinji.
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.
Ayahudi bha hu Thesalonike bhahumvwizye huje aPaulo nu Sila bhali uwho bhazumbilila bhabhafuatile nalete efujo hwabhantu.
14 Then immediately, the brothers sent Paul to go to the sea, but Silas and Timothy stayed there.
U Paulo bhasogozya nanali hwidala lye idimi igosi, lelo u Barnaba nu Timotheo bhasagala pala.
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.
Aholo bhala bhatwalile uPaulo hu Athene, u Paulo wabhalajizya huje uSila nu Timotheo bhenze nanali.
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
U Paulo avitilwe tee mumwoyo gwakwe shalolile evifwa vinji munsi ela.
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.
U Paulo adalisanyaga nabho ayahudi shila lisiku mwisinagogi na husokoni.
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.
Lelo Abhefalsafa abha Waepikureo na Waestoiko bhabhalila na bhanje bhabhinji. Bhaga unu umuntu ayanga zyenu uduvya bhamo bhaga, abhoneha alumbilila ezya Ngulubhi ujeni,” alumbilila ezya Yesu nu luzyuho.
19 They took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know this new teaching which you were speaking?
Bhamwega uPaulo bhaleta hwa Areopago, bhaga, “Tibhajiye azimanye emanyizyo zyaho ezyo empya zyumanyizya?
20 For you bring some strange things to our ears. Therefore, we want to know what these things mean.”
Uletile amambo amapya mumakutu getu. Tihwanzaje timanye nate zili neshi wili?”
21 (Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing but either telling or listening about something new.)
(Abhantu bha hu Athene bhasungwa atejelezye enongwa empya.)
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.
U Paulo wimilila hwa bantu bha Aeropago na huje amwe mubhantu mwahu Athene, muli bhe dini zye shila namna,
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.
Nanashilaga uhwo humadhebu genyu endolile musimbile “HWA NGULUBHI YASIGA”. Eshi ane embaletela enongwa zyakwe uyo yamupuuta nahumanyee.
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.
Ungulubhi yabhuumbile ensi ne mwanya ne vintu vyonti siga akhala munyumba ezyapuutile zyazizengwilwe na makhono ga bhantu.
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.
Nantele siga abhombelwa namakhono umwene yatipela uwomi nevyenje vyonti.
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,
Ashilile hwa muntu umo abhabhisaiye abhantu outaratibu abheshele usiku na pasanya, eshisuku ne shisanya abhabhishiye ne mpaho mwamukhala.
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.
Eshi, bhahwanziwa huje bhamwanze Ungulubhi, nahumwaje umwene sigahutali nate.
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.'
Hwa mwene tijenda, tilya nabhe nu womi wetu, neshi shayanjile uteeli umo aje ate tili bhapapwe bhakwe.'
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.
Eshi, ate nkashele tilibhapapwe nu Ngulubhi setihwanziwa hulinganye Ngulubhi, nedhahabu, ne shaba, au nevifwani vyabhapunza vyavilingine wa bhantu.
30 Therefore God overlooked the times of ignorance, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent.
Emande abhanga aje siga azilola, eshi alajizya hwa bhantu bhonti huje bhalambe.
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.”
Eshi umwene abhishile isiku lyaibhalonga abhantu bhonti bila hubhonele umuntu Ungulubhi afumizye uYesu huje abhantu bhamwitishe uyazyusizye afume hwa bhafwe.
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.”
Abhantu bhahu Athene nabhuumvwa huje abhafwe bhazyuha, bhamo bhazihaki u Paulo bhagatitejelezye hani zyuyanga ezyo”
33 After that, Paul left them.
Pamande uPaulo wabhaleha.
34 But certain men joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Lelo bhamo bhahitiha, bhahamwitiha uYesu ahali u Dionisio Mwareopago, nushi itawa yu Damari na bha mwabho.
