Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
Bhejile bhalabha mu misi ja Amfipoli na Apollonia, nibhaja bhakinga mu musi gwa Thesalonike anu lyaliga lili elikofyanyisho lya Abayaudi.
2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in to them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
Lwa kutyo aliga analile Paulo, agendele kubhene, ku mwanya gwa naku esatu eja Isabhato bhabhushanya ingulu ya maandiko.
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.
Aliga nabhegulila amaandiko no kubhelesha ati, jimwiile Kristo anyasibhwe no kumala nasuluka lindi okusoka mubhafuye. Abhabhwiliye,” Yesu unu enibhabhwila emisango jae niwe 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.
Abayaudi abhandi bhekilisishe no kugwatana na Paulo na Sila, amwi na bhagiliki na bhanu baliga bhamulamya Nyamuanga, bha mai bhafu na liijo enene lwa bhanu bhafu bhakisibhwa.
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.
Mbe nawe Abayaudi abhandi abho bhekilishe, nibhejula libhubha, nibhagenda mwigulilo no kubhagega abhanu abhandi abhajabhi, nibhakumanya liijo lwa bhanu amwi, no kuletelela ijogele mumusi, okumala nibhengila kwamanaga mu nyumbha ya Jason, nibhwenda ukubhagwata Paulo na Sila koleleki bhalete imbhele ya abhanu.
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;
Mbe nawe bhejile bhabhatasha, nibhamugwata Yasoni na bhandi abhasu abhadi ni nibhabhasila imbele ya bhakulu bho musi nibhayogana abhalume bhanu bhaindue echalo bhakigile enu one,
7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
Abhalume bhanu bhanu bhakabhisibhwe na jasoni abhanyamula echilagilo cha kaisali, abhaika alio omkama oudi oyo kabhilikilwa Yesu”
8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
Liijo na bhakulu bho musi Bhejile bhakongwa emisango jinu, nibhengilwa no bhubha
9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the others, they let them go.
BHejile bhakamala okugega jipilya je chibhalo Cho mulisi okusoka ku Jason na bhandi, bhabhatatie bhagede.
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who coming there went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Mugeta ilya abhasu bhamtumile Paulo Sila Beroya. bhejile bhakakinga elia bhagedele mu mulikofyanyosho lya bhaudi.
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.
Abhanu bhalia baliga no bhegeso bunene okukila abhanu balya Abha Thesalonike, kwa insoga baliga bhali bhagu bho kulamila omusango kwo bhwege bhwebhwe, no kuigilisha amaandiko bhuli lunaku koleleki bhalole emisango kutyo jaikilwe labha nikwo kutyo jili.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women who were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Kulwejo ku bhwafu bhwebhwe bhekilisishe bhalimo Abagasi abhokukongya Abhakulu bhe chigiriki abhalume bhafu.
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.
Mbe nawe Abayaudi abha Thesalonike Bhejile bhamenya ati Paulo kalasha omusango gwa Nyamuwanga eyo Beroya, bhagendeleyo no kusoyelesha no kumala mbhabisha injogele ku bhanu.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timothy abode there still.
kwo bhwangu, abhasu nibhamusila Paulo kwa injila ya inyanja, nawe Sila na Timotheo nibhasigala alia.
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.
Abhasu bhalya bhanu bhamusilile Paulo bhagendele nage nibhakinga Athene, eyo bhamsigile Paulo, bhalamie amalagililo kusoka ku mwene ati, Sila na Timotheo bhagende ku mwene bhwangu kutyo ejitulikana.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
O mwanya ogwo nabhatendesha eyo Athene, omwoyo gwae gwabhiiliywe munda yae lwa kutyo agulolele omusi gwijue ebhisusano bhafu.
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.
kwibyo nabhusilishanya ne likofyanyisho lya abhayaudi bhanu bhaliga nibhamulamya Nyamuanga na ku bhalia Bona abho abhonene nabho bhuli lunaku mwigulilo.
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.
Mbe nawe abhasomi abhandi abha Waepikureo na Wastoiko bhamulubha. Abhandi nibhaika,”nichinuki chinu kaika omwaiki unu mulela? Abhandi mbhaika,” ejibhonekana kalasha emisango ja Nyamuanga mgenyi” kwa insonga kalasha emisango jo bhusuluko bha Yesu.
19 And they took him, and brought him to Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest?
Mbhamugega Paulo no kumleta Areopago, mbhaika,”echitula gamenya ameigisho mayaya ganu owaika?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
Kwa insonga uleta misango miyaya mu matwi geswe. Kulwejo echenda okumenya emisango jinu jili na nsonga ki?”
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.)
(Abhanu Bhona abha Athene amwi na abhagenyi abho bhalio kubhene, abhakolela omwanya gwebhe amwi mu kwaika no kutegelesha ingulu ye misango miyaya.)
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.
Kulwejo Paulo nemelegulu agati-gati ya bhanu bha Areopago no kwaika,”emwe abhanu bha Athene, enilola ati emwe muli bhanu bha idini kwa bhuli nyami,
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.
mukulabha kwani no kulola ebhinu bhyemwe ebyo kulamya, enilola emisango jandikilwe ku bhimwi bhye bhishengelo bhemwe, nijaika “KU NYAMUANGA UNU ATAKUMENYEKANA”. kwibyo woli, unu omulamya mtamenya, oyo niwe enibhamenyesha emwe.
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;
Nyamuanga unu amogele echalo na bhuli chinu chinu chili munda, kulwo kubha niwe Latabugenyi wo lwile ne Chalo, atakutula kwiyanja mu mayekalu ganu gakolelwe na mabhoko.
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;
Ona atakolelwa na mabhoko ga bhana bhanu kuti kenda chinu ku bhene, kulwo kubha omwenene niwe kabhayana abhanu obhuwanga no mwika ne bhinu ebhindi Bhona.
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;
Okutulila munu umwi, akolele Amaanga gona ganu abhanu bhekaemo ingulu yo bhusu bhe Chalo, na bhatelao omwanya na jimbibi mu mabala ganu bhekaemo.
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:
Kulwejo, abhendibhwa okumuinga Nyamuanga koleleki bhamukingeko no kumubhona, na kulwe chimali atali kula na bhuli umwi weswe.
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.
KU mwene chilamile, echilibhata no kubha no bhuanga bhweswe, lwa kutyo omwimbi umwi owa lishaili kutyo aikile “chili bhebhulwa bae.”
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.
Kulwejo, alabha Eswe chili bhebhulwa bha Nyamuanga, kuteile okwiganilisha ati Nyamuanga ni uti jaabhu amwi uti mpilya amwi uti mabhui amwi bhisusano bhinu ebhibhajwa kwo buryo na meganilisho ga bhanu.
30 And the times of this ignorance God overlooked; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Kulwejo, Nyamuwanga ajibhie omwanya gulya ogwo bhumumu nawe woli kalagilila abhanu bhona bha bhuli ebhala bhate.
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.
Inu niyo insonga ateeyo Olunaku lunu alija okulamula echalo muchimali KU munu unu asolele. Nyamuanga asosishe echimali ku bhuli munu anu amusuluye okusoka mubhafue alya.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
Abhanu bha Athene Bhejile bongwa emisango jo kusululwa kwa bhafue, abhandi mbamjimya Paulo, Mbe nawe abhandi bhaika “echija okukutegelesha lindi KU misango ja gunu”
33 So Paul departed from among them.
Jejile jawa ejo, Paulo nabhasiga.
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.
Mbe nawe abhanu abhandi mbagwatana nage mu kwilisha, alimo Dionisio unu aliga Ali mureopago, no mugasi unu kabhwilikilwa Damari na bhandi amwi nabho.
