Acts 17
1 And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews,
Nabhafiha hu Amfipoli na hu Apolonia, bhafiha hu Thesalonike uhwo hwali nisinagogi lya Bhayahudi.
2 and according to the custom of Paul, he went in unto them, and for three sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the Writings,
U Paulo azobheleye abhale amwabho ensiku zitatu ezyelutuyo adalisanyaga nabho mwibhangili.
3 opening and alleging, 'That the Christ it behoved to suffer, and to rise again out of the dead, and that this is the Christ — Jesus whom I proclaim to you.'
Abhabhuulaga ezyazisimbilwe mwibhangili huje yaasimbilwe yu Yesu aje ailabha, aifwa nantele aizyuha afume hwa bhafwe yayunu yembabhuula enongwa zyakwe”
4 And certain of them did believe, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also of the worshipping Greeks a great multitude, of the principal women also not a few.
Ayahudi bhamo na Giriki nabhasai bhabhinji bheteha bhafwata uPaulo.
5 And the unbelieving Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to them of the loungers certain evil men, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having assailed also the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring [them] to the populace,
Lelo Ayahudi bhamo bhabhasuliha abhantu bhabhinji a bhahusokoni bhaalole ukero, bhaivamila enyumba ya Jason, aje bhabhakhate aPaulo nu Sila aje bhabhalete hwa bhantu.
6 and not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the city rulers, calling aloud — 'These, having put the world in commotion, are also here present,
Naseebhabhaga bhakhata u Jasoni na bhanji bhabhatwala hwa ofisa bhe muji bhaga abhantu bhabhagaluzinye ensi bhafishile nuhuli,
7 whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king — Jesus.'
Abhalume ebha uJasoni abhakaribizizye bhananganya esheria ya Kaisari, bhaiga ahweli umfumu uwamwabho ahwitwa yu Yesu”
8 And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,
Ipuga lya maofa nabhahumvwa isho bhasingana umwoyo.
9 and having taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Nabhega hela zye ulinzi hwa Jasoni bhabhaleshela aje basogolaje.
10 And the brethren immediately, through the night, sent forth both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having come, went to the synagogue of the Jews;
Nu siku bhatuma uPaulo nu Sila hu Beroya. Nabhafiha hula bhahinjila mwisinagogi lya Bhayahudi.
11 and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, every day examining the Writings whether those things were so;
Abhantu bhaala bhaali wenjele bhatejelezyaga zyabhayanga, a Paulo nu Sila, nazichunguzye aje zyazisimbilwe zyezyo.
12 many, indeed, therefore, of them did believe, and of the honourable Greek women and men not a few.
Abhinja bhahitishe na bhashi abheshi Giriki bhabhali nulusuliho nalume bhahinji.
13 And when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that also in Berea was the word of God declared by Paul, they came thither also, agitating the multitudes;
Ayahudi bha hu Thesalonike bhahumvwizye huje aPaulo nu Sila bhali uwho bhazumbilila bhabhafuatile nalete efujo hwabhantu.
14 and then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul, to go on as it were to the sea, but both Silas and Timothy were remaining there.
U Paulo bhasogozya nanali hwidala lye idimi igosi, lelo u Barnaba nu Timotheo bhasagala pala.
15 And those conducting Paul, brought him unto Athens, and having received a command unto Silas and Timotheus that with all speed they may come unto him, they departed;
Aholo bhala bhatwalile uPaulo hu Athene, u Paulo wabhalajizya huje uSila nu Timotheo bhenze nanali.
16 and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,
U Paulo avitilwe tee mumwoyo gwakwe shalolile evifwa vinji munsi ela.
17 therefore, indeed, he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the worshipping persons, and in the market-place every day with those who met with him.
U Paulo adalisanyaga nabho ayahudi shila lisiku mwisinagogi na husokoni.
18 And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, 'What would this seed picker wish to say?' and others, 'Of strange demons he doth seem to be an announcer;' because Jesus and the rising again he did proclaim to them as good news,
Lelo Abhefalsafa abha Waepikureo na Waestoiko bhabhalila na bhanje bhabhinji. Bhaga unu umuntu ayanga zyenu uduvya bhamo bhaga, abhoneha alumbilila ezya Ngulubhi ujeni,” alumbilila ezya Yesu nu luzyuho.
19 having also taken him, unto the Areopagus they brought [him], saying, 'Are we able to know what [is] this new teaching that is spoken by thee,
Bhamwega uPaulo bhaleta hwa Areopago, bhaga, “Tibhajiye azimanye emanyizyo zyaho ezyo empya zyumanyizya?
20 for certain strange things thou dost bring to our ears? we wish, then, to know what these things would wish to be;'
Uletile amambo amapya mumakutu getu. Tihwanzaje timanye nate zili neshi wili?”
21 and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.
(Abhantu bha hu Athene bhasungwa atejelezye enongwa empya.)
22 And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, 'Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;
U Paulo wimilila hwa bantu bha Aeropago na huje amwe mubhantu mwahu Athene, muli bhe dini zye shila namna,
23 for passing through and contemplating your objects of worship, I found also an erection on which had been inscribed: To God — unknown; whom, therefore — not knowing — ye do worship, this One I announce to you.
Nanashilaga uhwo humadhebu genyu endolile musimbile “HWA NGULUBHI YASIGA”. Eshi ane embaletela enongwa zyakwe uyo yamupuuta nahumanyee.
24 'God, who did make the world, and all things in it, this One, of heaven and of earth being Lord, in temples made with hands doth not dwell,
Ungulubhi yabhuumbile ensi ne mwanya ne vintu vyonti siga akhala munyumba ezyapuutile zyazizengwilwe na makhono ga bhantu.
25 neither by the hands of men is He served — needing anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things;
Nantele siga abhombelwa namakhono umwene yatipela uwomi nevyenje vyonti.
26 He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth — having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings —
Ashilile hwa muntu umo abhabhisaiye abhantu outaratibu abheshele usiku na pasanya, eshisuku ne shisanya abhabhishiye ne mpaho mwamukhala.
27 to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and find, — though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,
Eshi, bhahwanziwa huje bhamwanze Ungulubhi, nahumwaje umwene sigahutali nate.
28 for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring.
Hwa mwene tijenda, tilya nabhe nu womi wetu, neshi shayanjile uteeli umo aje ate tili bhapapwe bhakwe.'
29 'Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, graving of art and device of man;
Eshi, ate nkashele tilibhapapwe nu Ngulubhi setihwanziwa hulinganye Ngulubhi, nedhahabu, ne shaba, au nevifwani vyabhapunza vyavilingine wa bhantu.
30 the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform,
Emande abhanga aje siga azilola, eshi alajizya hwa bhantu bhonti huje bhalambe.
31 because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.'
Eshi umwene abhishile isiku lyaibhalonga abhantu bhonti bila hubhonele umuntu Ungulubhi afumizye uYesu huje abhantu bhamwitishe uyazyusizye afume hwa bhafwe.
32 And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, 'We will hear thee again concerning this;'
Abhantu bhahu Athene nabhuumvwa huje abhafwe bhazyuha, bhamo bhazihaki u Paulo bhagatitejelezye hani zyuyanga ezyo”
33 and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,
Pamande uPaulo wabhaleha.
34 and certain men having cleaved to him, did believe, among whom [is] also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name Damaris, and others with them.
Lelo bhamo bhahitiha, bhahamwitiha uYesu ahali u Dionisio Mwareopago, nushi itawa yu Damari na bha mwabho.
