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.
Nígbà tí wọn sì ti kọjá Amfipoli àti Apollonia, wọ́n wá sí Tẹsalonika, níbi tí Sinagọgu àwọn Júù wà.
2 Paul, as his custom was, went to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures.
Àti Paulu, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣe rẹ̀, ó wọlé tọ̀ wọ́n lọ, ni ọjọ́ ìsinmi mẹ́ta ó sì ń bá wọn fi ọ̀rọ̀ wé ọ̀rọ̀ nínú ìwé mímọ́.
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.”
Ó ń túmọ̀, ó sì ń fihàn pé, Kristi kò lè ṣàìmá jìyà, kí o sì jíǹde kúrò nínú òkú; àti pé, “Jesu yìí ẹni tí èmi ń wàásù fún yin, òun ni Kristi náà.”
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.
A sì yí nínú wọn lọ́kàn padà, wọ́n sì darapọ̀ mọ́ Paulu àti Sila, bákan náà ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nínú àwọn olùfọkànsìn Helleni àti nínú àwọn obìnrin ọlọ́lá, kì í ṣe díẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn Júù jowú, wọn sì fa àwọn jàgídíjàgan nínú àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn mọ́ra, wọ́n ko ẹgbẹ́ jọ, wọ́n sì ń dá ìlú rú; wọ́n sì kọlu ilé Jasoni, wọ́n ń fẹ́ láti mú Paulu àti Sila jáde tọ àwọn ènìyàn lọ.
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.
Nígbà tí wọn kò sì rí wọn, wọ́n wọ́ Jasoni, àti àwọn arákùnrin kan tọ àwọn olórí ìlú lọ, wọ́n ń kígbe pé, “Àwọn wọ̀nyí tí o tí dorí ayé kodò títí de ìhín yìí pẹ̀lú.
7 These men whom Jason has welcomed act against the decrees of Caesar; they say that there is another king—Jesus.”
Àwọn ẹni tí Jasoni gbà sí ọ̀dọ̀: gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí ni o sí ń hùwà lòdì sí àṣẹ Kesari, wí pé, ọba mìíràn kan wà tí í ṣe Jesu.”
8 The crowd and the officials of the city were disturbed when they heard these things.
Àwọn ènìyàn àti àwọn olórí ìlú kò ní ìfọ̀kànbalẹ̀ nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
9 But after the officials made Jason and the rest pay money as security, then they let them go.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbà onídùúró lọ́wọ́ Jasoni àti àwọn ìyókù, wọ́n fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ lọ.
10 That night the brothers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Lọ́gán àwọn arákùnrin sì rán Paulu àti Sila lọ ṣí Berea lóru. Nígbà tí wọ́n sí dé ibẹ̀, wọ́n wọ inú Sinagọgu àwọn Júù lọ.
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.
Àwọn Júù Berea sì ní ìyìn ju àwọn tí Tẹsalonika lọ, ní tí pé wọn fi tọkàntọkàn gbà ọ̀rọ̀ náà. Wọ́n sì ń wá inú ìwé mímọ́ lójoojúmọ́ bí nǹkan wọ̀nyí bá rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
12 Therefore many of them believed, including some influential Greek women and many men.
Nítorí náà púpọ̀ nínú wọn gbàgbọ́; àti nínú àwọn obìnrin Giriki ọlọ́lá, àti nínú àwọn ọkùnrin ti kì í ṣe díẹ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn Júù tí Tẹsalonika mọ̀ pé, Paulu ń wàásù ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run ní Berea, wọ́n wá síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, wọ́n rú àwọn ènìyàn sókè.
14 Then immediately, the brothers sent Paul to go to the sea, but Silas and Timothy stayed there.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn arákùnrin rán Paulu jáde lọ́gán láti lọ títí de etí Òkun, ṣùgbọ́n Sila àti Timotiu dúró ní Berea.
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.
Àwọn tí ó sin Paulu wá sì mú un lọ títí dé Ateni; nígbà tí wọ́n sì gba àṣẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ wá fún Sila àti Timotiu pé, ki wọn ó yára tọ òun wá, wọ́n lọ.
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
Nígbà tí Paulu dúró dè wọ́n ni Ateni, ẹ̀mí rẹ̀ ru nínú rẹ̀, nígbà tí ó rí pé ìlú náà kún fún òrìṣà.
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.
Nítorí náà ó ń bá àwọn Júù fi ọ̀rọ̀ wé ọ̀rọ̀ nínú Sinagọgu, àti àwọn olùfọkànsìn, àti àwọn tí ó ń bá pàdé lọ́jà lójoojúmọ́.
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.
Nínú àwọn ọ̀jọ̀gbọ́n Epikure ni àti tí àwọn Stoiki kó tì í. Àwọn kan si ń wí pé, “Kín ni aláhesọ yìí yóò rí wí?” Àwọn mìíràn sì wí pé, “Ó dàbí oníwàásù àjèjì òrìṣà, wọ́n sọ èyí nítorí Paulu ń wàásù ìròyìn ayọ̀ nípa Jesu àti àjíǹde fún wọn.”
19 They took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know this new teaching which you were speaking?
Wọ́n sì mú un, wọ́n sì fà á lọ sí Areopagu, wọ́n wí pé, “A ha lè mọ̀ kín ni ẹ̀kọ́ tuntun tí ìwọ ń sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ yìí jẹ́?
20 For you bring some strange things to our ears. Therefore, we want to know what these things mean.”
Nítorí tí ìwọ mú ohun àjèjì wá sí etí wa, àwa sì ń fẹ́ mọ̀ kín ni ìtumọ̀ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.”
21 (Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing but either telling or listening about something new.)
Nítorí gbogbo àwọn ará Ateni, àti àwọn àjèjì tí ń ṣe àtìpó níbẹ̀ kì í ṣe ohun mìíràn jù kí a máa sọ tàbí kí a máa gbọ́ ohun tuntun lọ.
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.
Paulu si dìde dúró láàrín Areopagu, ó ní, “Ẹ̀yin ará Ateni, mo wòye pé ní ohun gbogbo ẹ kún fún ẹ̀sìn lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
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.
Nítorí bí mo ti ń kọjá lọ, tí mo wo àwọn ohun tí ẹ̀yin ń sìn, mo sì rí pẹpẹ kan tí a kọ àkọlé yìí sí: Fún Ọlọ́run àìmọ̀. Ǹjẹ́ ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ń sìn ni àìmọ̀ òun náà ni èmi ń sọ fún yin.
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.
“Ọlọ́run náà tí ó dá ayé àti ohun gbogbo tí ń bẹ nínú rẹ̀, òun náà tí í ṣe Olúwa ọ̀run àti ayé, kì í gbé tẹmpili tí a fi ọwọ́ kọ́.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kì í fi ọwọ́ ènìyàn sìn ín, bí ẹni pé ó ń fẹ́ nǹkan, òun ni ó fi ìyè àti èémí àti ohun gbogbo fún gbogbo ènìyàn.
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,
Ó sì tí tipasẹ̀ ẹnìkan dá gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè láti tẹ̀dó sí ojú àgbáyé, ó sì ti pinnu àkókò tí a yàn tẹ́lẹ̀, àti ààlà ibùgbé wọn;
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.
Ọlọ́run ṣe eléyìí kí wọn bá le máa wa, bóyá wọn yóò lè ṣàfẹ́rí rẹ̀, kí wọn sì rí í. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ pé kò jìnnà sí olúkúlùkù wa.
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.'
Nítorí nínú rẹ̀ ni àwa wà láààyè, tí a ń rìn kiri, tí a sì ní ẹ̀mí wa, bí àwọn kan nínú àwọn akéwì tí ẹ̀yin tìkára yín tí wí pé, ‘Àwa pẹ̀lú sì jẹ́ ọmọ rẹ̀.’
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.
“Ǹjẹ́ bí àwa bá jẹ́ ọmọ Ọlọ́run, kò yẹ fún wa láti rò pé, ẹni tí a wa n sìn dàbí wúrà, tàbí fàdákà, tàbí òkúta, tí a fi ọgbọ́n àti ìmọ̀ ènìyàn ya ère àwòrán rẹ̀.
30 Therefore God overlooked the times of ignorance, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent.
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ìgbà àìmọ̀ yìí ni Ọlọ́run tí fojú fò dá; ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ó pàṣẹ fún gbogbo ènìyàn níbi gbogbo láti ronúpìwàdà.
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.”
Níwọ́n bí ó ti dá ọjọ́ kan, nínú èyí tí yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ ayé lódodo nípasẹ̀ ọkùnrin náà tí ó ti yàn, nígbà tí ó ti fi ohun ìdánilójú fún gbogbo ènìyàn, ní ti pé ó jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú.”
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.”
Nígbà tí wọ́n ti gbọ́ ti àjíǹde òkú, àwọn mìíràn ń ṣẹ̀fẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn mìíràn wí pé, “Àwa o tún nǹkan yìí gbọ́ lẹ́nu rẹ̀.”
33 After that, Paul left them.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Paulu sì jáde kúrò láàrín wọn.
34 But certain men joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin kan fi ara mọ́ ọn, wọ́n sì gbàgbọ́: nínú àwọn ẹni tí Dionisiu ara Areopagu wà, àti obìnrin kan tí a ń pè ni Damari àti àwọn mìíràn pẹ̀lú wọn.
