Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
Hangi nai akakila mu isali nia Amfipoli ni Apolonia, ai azile kupikiila kisali nika Thesalonike naza likoli i tekeelo nila Ayahudi.
2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in to them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
Anga ni yili ntendo ang'wa Paulo, wakalongola kitalao, nu ku itungo nila mahiku ataatu nia luhiku nula kusupya ai witambuuye nienso migilya a ukilisigwa.
3 Opening and alleging, that it was needful that Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach to you, is Christ.
Ai watulaa uku akunukuilya u ukilisigwa nu kuaganuila kina, ai imutakile uKristo wagishe ni uugwa kiuka hangi kupuma ku ashi. Ai uatambuie, “Uyu uYesu nikumutambuila i nkani niakwe yuyo Kristo.”
4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
Ang'wi nia Ayahudi ai apemekile nu kihanguila nu Paulo nu Sila, palung'wi ni Agiriki akulya Itunda, asungu idu aokole ni idale ikulu nila antu.
5 But the Jews who believed not, moved with envy, took to them certain wicked fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city in an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
Kuiti ang'wi a Ayahudi ni shanga ahuiie, nai izuiwe nu wilu, ai alongoe ki isoko nu kuahola ang'wi a antu ni abibi, akalundiila iumbi nila antu palung'wi, nu kusasha minyomo mu kisali, uugwa akaligilinkiilya ito nilang'wa Jason, aze aloilwe kua amba uPaulo nu Sila iti kualeta ntongeela ya antu.
6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down have come here also;
Kuiti nai aka aulya, ai amuambile u Yasoni ni ang'wi a anyandugu auya nu kuatwala ntogeela a aofisa nia kisali, azekua iyogo, “Awa i agoha naza aupiue u unkumbigulu apika kupikiila kunu ga.
7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
Agoha awa naza asingiigwe nu Yasoni akulitumuila ilagiilyo lang'wa Kaisari, akuligitya ukoli mutemi mungiiza nuitangwaa Yesu.”
8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
Iumbi ni a ofisa nia kisali nai akija i makani nanso, ai ingiiwe nu mitumbo.
9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the others, they let them go.
Ze yakilaa kutula akondya kuhola i mpia nia nsailo a usunja kupuma kung'wa Yason ni auya, ai a alekee alongole.
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who coming there went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Utiku nuanso anya ndugu ai amulagiiye uPaulo nu Sila ku Beroya. Hangi nai akapika kung'wanso akalongola mi itekeelo nila Ayahudi.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Antu awo ai atula akete u ulingi ukulu kukila i antu awo nia ku Thesalonike, ku nsoko ai akete nu ukondaniili nua kusingiilya u lukani ku mahala ao, nu kupukania u ukilisigwa kila mahiku iti kihenga anga ize imakani nai aganuwe uu nili.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women who were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Ku lulo idu ao ai ahuiie, aze amoli asungu niakete u upemi ukulu nua Kigiriki ni agoha idu.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also, and stirred up the people.
Kuiti Ayahudi nia ku Thesalonike nai akalinga kina uPaulo ukutanantya lukani lang'wa Itunda uko ku Beroya, ai alongoe kuko nu kukinyiila ni uugwa nu kandiilya minyomo ku antu.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timothy abode there still.
Ku ukau, i aluna akamutwala uPaulo ku nzila a luzi, kuiti uSila nu Timotheo akasaga pang'wanso.
15 And they that conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.
Awo i anya ndugu nai amutwae uPaulo ai alongoe nu ng'wenso kupikiila ku Athene, nai akamuleka uPaulo kuko, ai asingiiye i malagiilyo kupuma kitalakwe kina, uSila nu Timotheo apembye kitalakwe ku ukau ni ihumikile.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
Ni itungo nai ualindiie uko ku Athene, nkolo akwe ikatakigwa mukati akwe ku iti nai wihengile i kisali nai kizue i adudu idu.
17 Therefore he disputed in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
Itigwa akitambulya mu itekeelo ni Ayahudi awo nai amukiye Itunda nu ku awo ihi nai utankanile ni enso kila luhiku mi soko.
18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoics, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? some others, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection.
Kuiti ang'wi a alingi nia a Aepikureo ni Astoiko akamukungiilya. Ni auya akaligitya, “Ingi ki ntuni ukukiligitya uyu u muligitya nu mudabu? iAuya akaligitya, “Yigeelekile ukutanantya nkani niang'wa Itunda muziila.” ku nsoko ukutanantya nkani yang'wa Yesu nu wiukigwa.
19 And they took him, and brought him to Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest?
Akamohola uPaulo nu kumuleta ku Areopago, azeligitya, “Kuhumile kulinga uwu umanyisigwa uziila nuku uligitya?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
Ku nsoko ukuleta makani maziila mu akutwi itu. Ku iti kuloilwe kulinga makani aya akete ndogoelyo kii?”
21 ( For all the Athenians and strangers who were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
(Ni antu ihi nia ku Athene palung'wi ni aziila ni amoli kitalao, itumila itungo nilao ang'wi mu uligitya nu kutegeelya migulya a ikani ni iziila.)
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are very religious.
Ku lulo uPaulo akimika pakati a antu nia ku Areopago nu kuligitya, Unyenye antu aku Athene, kihenga kina ingi antu a ikumbiko ku kila mpyani,
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I to you.
Kuiti mu ukili nua ki talane nu kugoza i intu nianyu nia kipoelya, nihengile makani nakilisigwe mu ling'wi ikumbikilo lanyu, likuligitya “KUNG'WA ITUNDA NI SHANGA UKUMUKILE.” Itigwa, nuanso ni mukumipolya ize shanga mulingile, yuyo niku mupikilya unyenye.
24 God that made the world and all things in it, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Itunda nai u umbile ihi ni kila i kintu ni kikoli mukati, kunsoko ingi Mukulu nua ilunde ni ihi, shanga uhumile kikie mu matekeelo nazipigwe ni mikono.
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
Hangi shanga wi ailigwa ga ni mikono a ana adamu anga kina uloilwe kintu kitalao, kuiti u ng'wenso mukola wi inkiilya antu upanga ni mihupo ni intu ingiiza yihi.
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Ku kiila muntu ung'wi, ai uzipilye u ingu wihi ni antu ni ikiie migulya a usu nui ihi, hangi waka aikilya matungo ni mimbi mu nkika ni ikiie.
27 That they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might grope after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us:
Ku iti, atakiwe kumuduma Itunda, ni tai amupikiile nu kumulija, hangi ku kulu kuulu wikutili kuli ni kila ung'wi nu itu.
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Ki talakwe kikie, kigendaa nu kutula nu upanga nuitu, anga iti mutungi nuanyu ung'wi nua ilumbiilyo nai uligitilye 'ki atuugwa akwe.'
29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like gold, or silver, or stone, formed by art and man’s device.
Ku lulo anga itule usese ingi atuugwa ang'wa Itunda, shanga kutakiwe kusiga kina u itunda ingi anga zahabu, ang'wi shaba, ang'wi magwe, adudu nu sesilwe ku ulingi ni masigo a antu.
30 And the times of this ignorance God overlooked; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Ku lulo, Itunda ai ukilagiiye i matungo ayo na upungu, kuiti itungili ulagiiye antu ihi kila kianza ile itunu.
31 Because he hath appointed a day, when he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; of which he hath given assurance to all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Iki ingi ku nsoko uikile luhiku nuika milamula ihi ku tai ane ku muntu naiza ai umuholanilye. Itunda ai upumilye i kulu kuulu na mumtu uyu ku kila muntu pang'wanso nai umiukilye kupuma kuashi.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
Ni antu a Athene nai akija inkani nia kiukigwa ku ashi, ang'wi ao akamukuna uPaulo, ila i auya akaligitya, “Ku ukutegeelya hangi ku nkani nia ikani ili.”
33 So Paul departed from among them.
Ze yakilaa pang'wanso, uPaulo aka aleka.
34 But certain men joined themselves to him, and believed: among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Kuiti ang'wi a antu ai ihanguie nu ng'wenso akahuiila, waze umoli uDionisio Mwareopago, nu musungu nuitangwaa Damari ni auya palungwi ni enso.
