Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Pu vakhanghenda mumbunchenghe uwa Amfipoli na Apolonia, puvakhafikha kuvunchenge uwa khu Tesalonikhe ukhuyale ekhyo einyumba eiya khwisayeila Avayuta.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days 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 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim 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 them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.
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 unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the 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 When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down 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 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
U Yasoni vei avupeilile, pu avanu ava savikonga ululangheio lwa Kesali, pu vita khwale unkuludeva uyunge viita vei Yeisu”
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
Pu avanu eikhipungha khyoni navavaha vavunhenge vakhatimbukha mwitumbu vavile vapulikhe ewo.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Pu uYasoni nava nine vavile vahombile ihela puvakhavavopola, vakhavelekha valutanghe.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
Pu avakeileisite vayavo eikilo yeila yeila puvakhavalavuleila uPavuli nu Sila na yu Beloya. Vavile vafikhe ukhupuvakhinghila munyumba iyuvikheisayeila Avayuta.
11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
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 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Pu leino avingi muveene vakhalyeideikha eilimenyu, avadala na vanghosi ava Gilikhi vuveingi.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.
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 brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
Khya hanila, avakeileisite vala puvakhangh'eileikha uPavuli alutanghe khunyanja, pu leino uSila nu Timoti vakhasinginghala palapala.
15 But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
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 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
Pu avile ikhuvanghuleila ukhukhu Athene, enumbula y amwene yeikhavipa fincho umu alolile uvunchenge vula umuvudeinghile ifiihwani fyufingi.
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
Pu leinu valemunyumba ya khweisayeila puakhinchofanja na Vayuta vavo vale veideikhi khwa Nguluve na vala vooni uvuanghanile navo isikhu nchoni palinghunchi.
18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached 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 They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
Piuvakhatola uPavuli vakhaluta nave pakheigima eikhyu vatenchangha pu pa -Alyopangho, valeikhuta, “Tuvaheile ukhunghamanya unghuvumanyeisya amanghenji angha?
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
Ulwakhuva vwinghengha nghangho manghenji mumbulukhutu ncheito. Pu leino lwinonghwa ukhulumanya angha khukhuta khwikhi?”
21 Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
(Ulwakhuva ava atene nava nghenji avatamangha ukhwa vale vwaseikhi unghwa khunchova khyukhyoni pu valekhuva vanu va khupuleiheincha inongwa imya.)
22 Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
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 objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce 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 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.
Unguluve umpeli vakhilunga ni finu fyoni ifilimunghati, ulwakhuva vei nkuludeva va kyanya na pasi pakheilunga, savahile ukhutama mutembile inchipeliwe na mavokho.
25 He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all 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 made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,
Pu ukhunghendela khumunu umo, pu akhapela ifivumbukhu fyoni ifya vanu avavitama pakhilunga, hange akhavaveikhila eimiseikhi ni makha neha khilunga umuvitama.
27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
Pu lieno, pavandonde Unguluve ndapuyeingave pakhupalamasya puvakhambone, hange saleipavutali nu munu umo umo ndyufwe.
28 ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
Khumwene mututameila, tunghenda nukhuva nuvwumi vweito, nduvu usimbi va lweimboatile tuleivaholiwa va mwene.'
29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design 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 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
Pu Unguluve ale mya eimise ikhei ngheila einghya vupelwa pu leino eilangheila ukhuta avanu voni upuvalepwo vapelonghe.
31 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised 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 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
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 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Pu apo leino, uPavuli akhavalekha.
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Pu leino avanu avange vakhakongana nave vakheideikha uyunge mu avo vei Ndyonisi uva Mwareopago, nu Dala uvei ikheilangivwa Damali navange paninie na vene.
