19 Ale wolée hekplɔe yi takpeƒe si woyɔna be Areopago la, afi ma wogblɔ nɛ be, “Na míase nya tso nufiafia yeye si nèhe vɛ la ŋu.
Neco balamutwala Paulo ku nkuta yalikukwiweti Aleopagi ne kumwambileti, “Mutusansulwile afwe cishikunyumfwika sha ciyisho calinolino ici ncomuleyishinga.
20 Èle nya masekpɔ aɖewo gblɔm ɖe míaƒe towo me, míedi be míase nya siawo gɔme kple nu si wonye.”
Pakwinga bintu nabimbi mbyomulatwiyishinga, nkatuna tubinyumfwapo, neco tulayandanga kubinshiba cena.”

22 Esi ŋkekea ɖo la, Paulo tsi tsitre ɖe ameha la titina le Areopago la dzi heƒo nu gblɔ na wo be, “Nɔvinye Atenetɔwo, edze nam ƒãa be mienye ame siwo kpɔa dzidzɔ le mawuvɔvɔ̃ ŋu ŋutɔ,
Paulo walemana pakati pa nkuta ya Aleopagi ne kwambeti, “Amwe bantu bene Atene, ndabononga kwambeti mwashimpa cena mu kukambilila kwenu.
23 elabena esi menɔ tsa ɖim le miaƒe dua me la, mekpɔ miaƒe nu subɔsubɔwo. Ke mekpɔ vɔsamlekpui aɖe si ŋuti woŋlɔ ɖo be, mawu si mienya o la tɔe. Mawu si miesubɔna le manyamanya me la ƒe nyae metsɔ vɛ na mi.
Pakwinga pacindi ncondendananga mu munshi wenu uwu, ndabona misena ingi njomukute kupaililamo, pa nteme napambi mpomukute kupaililapo palembwa cisa, ‘Kuli Lesa wabula kwinshibikwa. Epeloyo ngomukute kukambilila kamutamwinshi, endiye ngondamwambilinga pacino cindi.

Uyo endiye Lesa walalenga cishi ne bintu byonse bilimo, e Mwami lendeleshenga kwilu ne cishi capanshi. Neco nkakute kwikala mu manda ebakwa ne bantu sobwe.

Cakubinga paliya bantu ncobelela kumusebensela ne makasa abo, pakwinga paliya ncabulilwa. Endiye Lesa ukute kutupa buyumi ne muya ngotukute kuyoya, pamo ne bintu byonse.
26 Mawu siae wɔ amegbetɔ siwo katã tso dzɔtsoƒe ɖeka, eye wokaka ɖe xexea me ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe. Eɖo liƒo kple ɣeyiɣi na dukɔwo da ɖi xoxo.
cakutanguna Lesa walalenga muntu umo, kufuma mu muntu umo ngwalalenga, emwalafuma mishobo yonse ya bantu, kwambeti bekalenga kulikonse pacishi capacishi. Walababambilalimo cindi ca buyumu bwabo kayi ne nyinsa ya misena yabo.

Walenseco kwambeti bantu bakamulangaule, mpani ngabamwinshiba mukumulangaula. Nsombi Lesa nkalipo kutali ne njafwe twense sobwe.”
28 ‘Eya mee míele agbe le, eye míeʋãna le, eye míele.’ Abe ale si miaƒe hɛnɔ aɖe gblɔe ene be, ‘Míawoe nye Mawu viwo.’
Mbuli muntu naumbi ncalambeti, endiye ukute kutupa ngofu sha kuba ne buyumi, shakwenda kayi kuba mbuli ncetubele. Mbuli bakalaka maimbo benu ncobalalembeti, ne njafwe tobana bendi.

Pakwinga tobana bendi Lesa, nkatwelela kuyeyeti bulesa bwakendi bwakoshana ne kambwanga kagolide nambi ka silifa nambi ka libwe lyapangwa cena ne mano a muntu.
30 Tsã la, Mawu mia ŋku ɖe amegbetɔ ƒe numanyamanya dzi. Ke azɔ la, eɖe gbe be ame sia ame natrɔ dzi me asubɔ ye ɖeka ko,
