Acts 17
1 Then, passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they went to Thessalonica. Here there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Na bho bhapetili mu miji ghya Amfipoli ni Apolonia, bhahidili mpaka mji ghwa Thesalonike ambabho kwa jhele ni sinagogi lya bhayahudi.
2 Paul--following his usual custom--betook himself to it, and for three successive Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Kama kya jhijhele kawaida jha Paulo akalota kwa bhene, na kwa muda ghwa magono madatu gha sabato ajadiliene nabhu juu jha maandiku.
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."
Ajhele akabhafungulila maandiku ni, kubhajhelesya kujha jhilondekeghe Kristu atesekayi ni kisha kufufuka kabhelel kuhoma kwa bhafu. Abhajobhili, “Ojho Yesu jha nikabhajobhela habari sya muene ndo Kristu.”
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.
Baadhi jhe Bhayahudi bhashawishiki ni kuungana ni Paulo ni Sila pamonga ni Bhagiriki bhachamungu, bhamama bhingi bhaongofu ni likundi libhaha lya bhanu.
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.
Lakini baadhi jha Bhayahudi bhabhiamini lepi, bhabhamemi bhwifu, bhalotili kusoko ni kubhatola baadhi jha bhanu bhaovu, bhabhongene umati bhwa bhanu pamonga ni kusababisya ghasia mjini, kisha bhakaivamila nyumna jha jasoni bhakalonda kubhakamula Paulo ni Sila ili kubhaleta palongolo pa bhanu.
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.
Lakini bho bhabhakofili bhakan'kamula Yasoni ni baadhi jha bhalongomunu bhangi nikubhapeleka mbele jha maofisa bha mji, bhakapiga kelele, “Abha bhagosi bhabhupenduili ulimwengu bhafikili mpaka khoni kabhele.
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."
Bhagosi abha bhabhakaribisibhu ni Yasoni bhakaiharibu sheria jha kaisari, bhijobha ojhe mfalme jhongi jhaikutibhwa Yesu.”
8 Great was the excitement among the crowd, and among the magistrates of the city, when they heard these charges.
Umati ni maofisa bha mji bho bhapeliki mambo agha bhajhingibhu ni bhuogha.
9 They required Jason and the rest to find substantial bail, and after that they let them go.
Baada jha kujha bhamakutola hela jha thamani jha ulinzi kuhoma kwa Yasoni ni bhangi bhabhalikisi bhalotayi.
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.
Kiru khela bhalongobhe bhandaghisi Paulo ni Sila Beroya. Na bhobhafikiri khola bhalotili mu sinagogi lya Bhayahudi.
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.
Bhanu bhalabha jhele bhenye werevu mbhaha kulikobhala bhanu bha Thesalonike, kwandabha bhajhele ni utayari bhwa kulipokela lilobhi kwa akili sya bhene, ni kuchungusya maandiku khila ligono ili kulola kama malobhi agha ghabhajobhibhu ndo kyaghajhele.
12 As the result many of them became believers, and so did not a few of the Greeks--gentlewomen of good position, and men.
Kwa ejho bhingi bha bhene bhakyeriri bhakiweno bhadala bhenye ushawishi mbaha ghwa Bhagiriki ni bhagosi bhingi.
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.
Lakini Bhayahudi bha Thesalonike bho bhagunduili kwamba Paulo itangasya lilobhi lya k'yara okhu Beroya, bhalotili okhu ni kuchochela ni kisha kubhwandisya ghasia kwa bhanu.
14 Then the brethren promptly sent Paul down to the sea-coast, but Silas and Timothy remained behind.
Manyata, bhalongomunu bhakampeleka Paulo ku njela jha nyanja, lakini Sila ni Timotheo bhasiele pala.
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.
Bhala bhalongo bhabhampeliki Paulo bhalotili naku hadi Athene, bhandekili Paulo okhu, bhapokili malaghisu kuhoma kwa muene kujha, Sila ni Timotheo bhahidayi kwa muene kwa haraka kyajhibhwesekana.
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.
thene, roho jha muene jhadadisibhu mugati mwa muene kwa jinsi kya abhubhwene mji kya abhumemili sanamu simehele.
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.
Efyo akajadiliana mu sinagogi ni Bhayahudi bhala bhabhamehi K'yara ni kwa bhala bhoha bhaabhonene nabhu kila ligono mu soko.
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.
Lakini baadhi jha bhanafalisafa bha Bhaepikureo ni Bhastoiko bhakan'kabili. Ni bhangi bhakajobha, “Kiki kyaaka kijobha munu ojho n'jobhajhi n'dele? Bhangi bhakajobha, “Jhibhonekana ihubiri habari jha K'yara n'hesya” kwandabha ihubiri habari jha Yesu ni ufufuo.
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?
Bhakan'tola Paulo ni kundeta Areopago, bhakajobha, Twibhwesya kumanya agha mafundisu mapya gha wilongela?
20 For the things you are saying sound strange to us. We should therefore like to be told exactly what they mean."
Kwa ndabha wileta mambo mahesiya mu mbol'ok'oto sya tete. Henu, twilonda kumanya mambo agha ghana maana gani?”
21 (For all the Athenians and their foreign visitors used to devote their whole leisure to telling or hearing about something new.)
(Ni bhanu bhoha bha Athene pamonga ni bhahesya bha bhajhele nabhu, bhitumila muda bhwa bhene aidha kwa kulongela ni kup'elekesya juu jha lijambo lipya.)
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.
Henu, paulo akajhema pagati pa bhanu bha Areopago ni kujobha, “Enyi bhanu bha Athene nibhuene kujha muenga ndo bhanu bha dini kwa kila namna,
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.
Kwani kwa kupetela kwa nene ni kulola fenu fya muenga fya kuabud, nighabhuene malobhi gha ghalembibhu mu madhabahu ghinu, ghijobha, “KWA K'YARA JHA AMANYIKENE LEPI.” Efyo basi ojhu jha mukamwabudu pasipokumanya ndo jhanikabhajulisha muenga.
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.
K'yara jhaabhombili bhulimwengu ni kila khenu kya kijhele mugati kwakujha ndo Bwana ghwa mbingu ni nchi ibhwesya lepi kutama mu mahekalu gha ghatengenesibhu ni mabhoko.
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.
Na itumikibhwa lepi ni mabhoko gha bhanadamu kana kwamba ilonda khenu kwa bhene kwani, muene akabhapela bhanu uzima ni pumzi ni fenu fengi fyoha.
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;
Kup'etela munu mmonga, aghabhombi mataifa ghoha gha bhanu bhabhitama panani pa uso bhwa dunia ni kubhabhekela nyakati ni mipaka mu maeneo gha bhatama.
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.
Henu, bhilondeka kundonda K'yara, ni yamkini bhamfikilayi ni kun'kabha, ni kwa bhuhakika ajhelepi patali ni khila mmonga bhitu.
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.'
kwa muene twitama twigenda ni kujha ni uzima bhwitu, kama vile mtunzi ghwa jhomu mmonga ghwa shairi bho ajobhili twebhazawa bha muene.
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.
Henu ikajhelayi tete twebhazaiwa bha K'yara, twilondeka lepi kufikiri kujha uungu ni kama dhahabu, au shaba, au maganga, sanamu jhajhichongibhu kwa ustadi ni mawazo gha bhanu.
30 Those times of ignorance God viewed with indulgence. But now He commands all men everywhere to repent,
Henu, K'yara agudeme nyakati sela sya bhujinga, lakini henu iamuru bhanu bhoha kila mahali bhabhwesya kutubu.
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."
Ejhe kwa ndabha abhekili ligono lya ilonda kujhihukumu dunia kwa haki kwa munu jhaan'chaguili. K'yara apisisi bhuhakika bhwa munu ojho kwa khila munu pala paamfufuili kuhoma kwa bhafu.
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."
Ni bhanu bha Athene bho bhap'eliki habari jha kufufulibhwa kwa bhafu, baadhi jha bhene bhan'dhihakili Paulo ila bhangi bhakajobha, Tukuup'elekesya kabhele kwa habari jha lijambo e'le.”
33 So Paul went away from them.
Baada jha apu, Paulo akabhaleka.
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.
Lakini baadhi jha bhanu bhaungeneni muene bhakakiera, akajha ni Dionisio Mwareopago, ni N'dala jhaikutibhwa Dmari ni bhangi pamonga nabhu.
