Acts 17
1 Then, passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they went to Thessalonica. Here 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--following his usual custom--betook himself to it, and for three successive Sabbaths 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 which he clearly explained, pointing out that it had been necessary for the Christ to suffer and rise again from the dead, and insisting, "The Jesus whom I am announcing 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 people were won over, and attached themselves to Paul and Silas, including many God-fearing Greeks and not a few gentlewomen of high rank.
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 jealousy of the Jews was aroused, and, calling to their aid some ill-conditioned and idle fellows, they got together a riotous mob and filled the city with uproar. They then attacked the house of Jason and searched for Paul and Silas, to bring them out before the assembly of 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, failing to find them, they dragged Jason and some of the other brethren before the magistrates of the city, loudly accusing them. "These men," they said, "who have raised a tumult throughout the Empire, 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 Jason has received them into his house; and they all set Caesar's authority at defiance, declaring that there is another Emperor-- one called Jesus."
U Yasoni vei avupeilile, pu avanu ava savikonga ululangheio lwa Kesali, pu vita khwale unkuludeva uyunge viita vei Yeisu”
8 Great was the excitement among the crowd, and among the magistrates of the city, when they heard these charges.
Pu avanu eikhipungha khyoni navavaha vavunhenge vakhatimbukha mwitumbu vavile vapulikhe ewo.
9 They required Jason and the rest to find substantial bail, and after that they let them go.
Pu uYasoni nava nine vavile vahombile ihela puvakhavavopola, vakhavelekha valutanghe.
10 The brethren at once sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea, and they, on their arrival, went to 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 The Jews at Beroea were of a nobler disposition than those in Thessalonica, for they very readily received the Message, and day after day searched the Scriptures to see whether it was as Paul stated.
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 As the result many of them became believers, and so did not a few of the Greeks--gentlewomen of good position, and men.
Pu leino avingi muveene vakhalyeideikha eilimenyu, avadala na vanghosi ava Gilikhi vuveingi.
13 As soon, however, as the Jews of Thessalonica learnt that God's Message had been proclaimed by Paul at Beroea, they came there also, and incited the mob to a riot.
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 the brethren promptly sent Paul down to the sea-coast, but Silas and Timothy remained behind.
Khya hanila, avakeileisite vala puvakhangh'eileikha uPavuli alutanghe khunyanja, pu leino uSila nu Timoti vakhasinginghala palapala.
15 Those who were caring for Paul's safety went with him as far as Athens, and then left him, taking a message from him to Silas and Timothy, asking them to join him as speedily 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 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred within him when he noticed that the city was full of idols.
Pu avile ikhuvanghuleila ukhukhu Athene, enumbula y amwene yeikhavipa fincho umu alolile uvunchenge vula umuvudeinghile ifiihwani fyufingi.
17 So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the other worshippers, and in the market place, day after day, with those whom he happened to meet.
Pu leinu valemunyumba ya khweisayeila puakhinchofanja na Vayuta vavo vale veideikhi khwa Nguluve na vala vooni uvuanghanile navo isikhu nchoni palinghunchi.
18 A few of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also encountered him. Some of them asked, "What has this beggarly babbler to say?" "His business," said others, "seems to be to cry up some foreign gods." This was because he had been telling the Good News of 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 Then they took him and brought him up to the Areopagus, asking him, "May we be told what this new teaching of yours is?
Piuvakhatola uPavuli vakhaluta nave pakheigima eikhyu vatenchangha pu pa -Alyopangho, valeikhuta, “Tuvaheile ukhunghamanya unghuvumanyeisya amanghenji angha?
20 For the things you are saying sound strange to us. We should therefore like to be told exactly what they mean."
Ulwakhuva vwinghengha nghangho manghenji mumbulukhutu ncheito. Pu leino lwinonghwa ukhulumanya angha khukhuta khwikhi?”
21 (For all the Athenians and their foreign visitors used to devote their whole leisure to telling or hearing 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, taking his stand in the centre of the Areopagus, spoke as follows: "Men of Athens, I perceive that you are in every respect remarkably religious.
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 things you worship, I found also an altar bearing the inscription, 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' "The Being, therefore, whom you, without knowing Him, revere, Him I now proclaim 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 GOD who made the universe and everything in it--He, being Lord of Heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries built by men.
Unguluve umpeli vakhilunga ni finu fyoni ifilimunghati, ulwakhuva vei nkuludeva va kyanya na pasi pakheilunga, savahile ukhutama mutembile inchipeliwe na mavokho.
25 Nor is He ministered to by human hands, as though He needed anything--but He Himself gives to all men life and breath and all things.
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 He caused to spring from one forefather people of every race, for them to live on the whole surface of the earth, and marked out for them an appointed span of life and the boundaries of their homes;
Pu ukhunghendela khumunu umo, pu akhapela ifivumbukhu fyoni ifya vanu avavitama pakhilunga, hange akhavaveikhila eimiseikhi ni makha neha khilunga umuvitama.
27 that they might seek God, if perhaps they could grope for Him and find Him. Yes, though He is not far from any one of us.
Pu lieno, pavandonde Unguluve ndapuyeingave pakhupalamasya puvakhambone, hange saleipavutali nu munu umo umo ndyufwe.
28 For it is in closest union with Him that we live and move and have our being; as in fact some of the poets in repute among yourselves have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'
Khumwene mututameila, tunghenda nukhuva nuvwumi vweito, nduvu usimbi va lweimboatile tuleivaholiwa va mwene.'
29 Since then we are God's offspring, we ought not to imagine that His nature resembles gold or silver or marble, or anything sculptured by the art and inventive faculty 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 Those times of ignorance God viewed with indulgence. 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 seeing that He has appointed a day on which, before long, He will judge the world in righteousness, through the instrumentality of a man whom He has pre-destined to this work, and has made the fact certain to every one 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 When they heard Paul speak of a resurrection of dead men, some began to scoff. But others said, "We will hear you again on that subject."
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 So Paul went away from them.
Pu apo leino, uPavuli akhavalekha.
34 A few, however, attached themselves to him and believed, among them being Dionysius a member of the Council, a gentlewoman named Damaris, and some others.
Pu leino avanu avange vakhakongana nave vakheideikha uyunge mu avo vei Ndyonisi uva Mwareopago, nu Dala uvei ikheilangivwa Damali navange paninie na vene.
