4 Ayahudi amwe magĩtĩkĩra ũhoro ũcio na magĩtuĩka a thiritũ ya Paũlũ na Sila, o ũndũ ũmwe na gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa Ayunani etigĩri-Ngai, o na atumia aingĩ arĩa maarĩ igweta.
Nnipa no bi gye diiɛ maa wɔdii Paulo ne Silas akyi. Saa ara nso na Helafoɔ bebree a wɔsom Onyankopɔn ne mmaa mpanin bi nso gye diiɛ de wɔn ho bɔɔ wɔn ara no no.
5 No Ayahudi makĩigua ũiru; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩcaria andũ arĩa maarĩ mĩtugo mĩũru kuuma ndũnyũ, makĩmacookanĩrĩria gĩkundi, na makĩambĩrĩria kũruta ngũĩ kũu itũũra-inĩ. Nao makĩhanyũka kwa Jasoni gwetha Paũlũ na Sila nĩgeetha mamoimie nja kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ.
Yudafoɔ mpanin no ani bereeɛ enti wɔboaboaa ahuhufoɔ bi ano maa wɔbɔɔ twi faa kuro no mu kɔtwaa Yason fie ho hyiaeɛ, pɛɛ sɛ wɔn nsa ka Paulo ne Silas de wɔn brɛ mpanin no.
6 No rĩrĩa maamaagire, magĩkururia Jasoni na ariũ a Ithe witũ amwe, makĩmarehe kũrĩ anene a itũũra, makĩanagĩrĩra atĩrĩ: “Andũ aya nĩo marehete thĩĩna thĩ yothe, na rĩu nĩmookĩte gũkũ,

8 Rĩrĩa maaiguire ũguo, kĩrĩndĩ kĩu na anene a itũũra magĩtangĩka mũno.
Saa asɛm yi hwanyanee dɔm no ne kuro no mu mpanin no.
9 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩĩtia Jasoni na andũ arĩa angĩ maarĩ nao irĩhi rĩa kũmarũgamĩrĩra, magĩcooka makĩmarekereria mathiĩ.
Kuro no mu mpanin no maa Yason ne anuanom no tuaa sika bi de dii wɔn agyinamu maa wɔgyaa wɔn.
10 Na kwarĩĩkia gũtuka-rĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ magĩtũma Paũlũ na Sila mathiĩ Berea. Nao maakinya kuo, magĩtoonya thunagogi ya Ayahudi.
Adeɛ saeɛ ara pɛ, anuanom yi gyaa Paulo ne Silas ɛkwan ma wɔkɔɔ Beroia. Wɔduruiɛ no, wɔkɔɔ Yudafoɔ hyiadan mu.
11 Na rĩrĩ, Ayahudi a Berea maarĩ a ngoro njega gũkĩra Ayahudi a Thesalonike, nĩgũkorwo nĩmamũkĩrire ndũmĩrĩri marĩ na wendo mũingĩ, na magathuthuuragia Maandĩko o mũthenya, nĩgeetha moone kana ũrĩa Paũlũ aameeraga warĩ ũhoro wa ma.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyɛ akyinnyegyefoɔ te sɛ Tesalonikafoɔ no. Wɔde ahosɛpɛ gyee asɛm no diiɛ a daa na wɔsua Atwerɛsɛm no pɛɛ sɛ wɔhunu sɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ a Paulo kyerɛkyerɛ no yɛ nokorɛ anaa.
12 Ayahudi aingĩ nĩmetĩkirie, o ũndũ ũmwe na atumia aingĩ a Ayunani arĩa maarĩ igweta, o na andũ arũme aingĩ Ayunani.
Nnipa no mu bebree a Helafoɔ mmaa atitire ne mmarima ka ho no gyee nkyerɛkyerɛ no diiɛ.
13 Rĩrĩa Ayahudi a Thesalonike maamenyire atĩ Paũlũ nĩahunjagia kiugo kĩa Ngai kũu Berea-rĩ, magĩthiĩ kũu o nakuo, magĩthogotha kĩrĩndĩ na magĩgĩthũkia ngoro.
Ɛberɛ a Yudafoɔ a wɔwɔ Tesalonika no tee sɛ Paulo akɔka Onyankopɔn asɛm no wɔ Beroia no, wɔkɔɔ hɔ nso kɔhwanyanee ɛhɔfoɔ no nso.
14 Hĩndĩ o ĩyo ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ magĩtũma Paũlũ athiĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria, no Sila na Timotheo magĩtigwo kũu Berea.
Enti, ntɛm ara, anuanom no gyaa Paulo ɛkwan sɛ ɔnkɔ mpoano, nanso Silas ne Timoteo de, wɔtenaa Beroia.
15 Nao andũ arĩa moimagaririe Paũlũ, makĩmũkinyia Athene, na magĩcooka marĩ na ndũmĩrĩri ya Sila na Timotheo atĩ mathiĩ kũrĩ Paũlũ narua o ta ũrĩa kũngĩhoteka.
Nnipa a wɔkɔgyaa Paulo ɛkwan no de no kɔduruu Atene. Wɔresane akɔ Beroia no, Paulo kraa wɔn sɛ wɔnka nkyerɛ Silas ne Timoteo sɛ wɔmmɛka ne ho ntɛm.
16 Paũlũ o ametereire kũu Athene-rĩ, nĩatangĩkire ngoro mũno nĩkuona ũrĩa itũũra rĩu rĩaiyũrĩte mĩhianano.
Ɛberɛ a Paulo retwɛn Silas ne Timoteo wɔ Atene no, ɔhunuu ahoni pii wɔ kuro no mu. Yei maa ne werɛ hoeɛ yie.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩaranagĩria na Ayahudi o na Ayunani arĩa meeyamũrĩire Ngai kũu thunagogi-inĩ, o na ningĩ akaaragia ndũnyũ-inĩ o mũthenya na andũ arĩa maakoragwo ho.
Enti, na ɔne Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ a wɔsom Onyankopɔn no taa hyia wɔ hyiadan mu ma ɔkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn asɛm. Saa ara nso na daa na ɔne nkurɔfoɔ gye akyinnyeɛ wɔ adwabɔeɛ ara no no.
18 Nakĩo gĩkundi kĩa Aepikurio na Asitoiko, arutani a ũũgĩ, makĩambĩrĩria gũkararania nake. Amwe ao makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ wa mũhuhu arageria kuuga atĩa?” Nao andũ arĩa angĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ta mũndũ ũrahunjia ũhoro wa ngai ngʼeni.” Moigaga ũguo tondũ Paũlũ aahunjagia Ũhoro Mwega wa Jesũ o na wa kũriũka gwake.
Afei, ɔne Epikurofoɔ ne Stoikfoɔ anyansafoɔ bi nso gyee akyinnyeɛ. Ebinom kaa sɛ, “na ɛdeɛn na ɔtoatoafoɔ yi pɛ sɛ ɔkyerɛ yi?” Afoforɔ nso kaa sɛ, “Ɛsɛ deɛ ɔreka anyame afoforɔ bi ho asɛm.” Deɛ enti a wɔkaa yei ne sɛ, na Paulo reka Yesu Kristo ne ne wusɔreɛ ho asɛm.
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo makĩmuoya na makĩmũtwara mbere ya mũcemanio wa Areopago, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No twende kũmenya atĩrĩ, ũrutani ũyũ mwerũ ũrarutana nĩ ũrĩkũ?
Wɔde Paulo kɔɔ Areopago nhyiamu anim kaa sɛ, “Yɛpɛ sɛ yɛte nkyerɛkyerɛ foforɔ a worekyerɛkyerɛ yi ase,

21 (Andũ othe a Athene na andũ a kũngĩ arĩa maatũũraga kuo matirĩ ũndũ ũngĩ meekaga tiga kwaria na gũthikĩrĩria ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mageni).
Na Atenefoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nni hwee yɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn adagyeɛ nyinaa bɛtie nsɛm foforɔ anaa wɔbɛka nsɛm foforɔ a wɔate no akyerɛ afoforɔ.
22 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Paũlũ akĩrũgama mũcemanio-inĩ wa kĩama kĩu gĩetagwo Areopago akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Andũ aya a Athene, nĩnguona atĩ maũndũ-inĩ mothe mũrĩ andũ a ndini mũno.
