Jesu Tondiba Tuona 17
1 Ban bo tɔgni pendi Afipoli yeni Apoloni ya dogu nni ban pundi teslonika ya dogu nni Jufinba bo pia li jaandieli.
And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews,
2 Nani Poli n bo limaani ki tiendi maama, o bo kua taani yenba mi fuodma dan taa nni, o bo maadi yenba yaala tie i diani bundma.
and according to the custom of Paul, he went in unto them, and for three sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the Writings,
3 Poli bo pɔbdi li tili ki cogi ki ŋanbi wan ba ke li tie buama yaala ke Kristi la fala ke gɔ fii bi tinkpiiba kani. o bo yedi: «Jesu yua ke n yedi n tie Krisit»
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.'
4 Jufinba siiga nni bi tianba bo tuo ki taani Poli yeni Silasa po. yeni greki nba yeni bi puoba yaaba tie gmadkaaba yeni u niwulgu.
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.
5 Ama Jufinba yaaba n pia kangbadima yeni ki nanga bo a nibiada ki daaga po, ki taani o niwulgu ki fiini ti fuudi u dogu nni. Bi bo gedi ki pigni Jason ki bua cuo Poli ki gedi yeni o o niwulgu nni.
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,
6 Ama Ban boo la'og, bi bo fili Jason yeni o kpiiba i ki caa yenba u dogu nni bujiala kani ki yigni: «Ya niba n gmadi u dogu mɔ pundi ne kanba»
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,
7 Joson bo n ga ya niba o deni po bo yiedi sesari bali maama ki yedi: ke baditiano ye ki yi Jesu.
whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king — Jesus.'
8 o niwulgu yenu u dogu banda n gbadi li maam li bo yagi bi yama.
And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,
9 Bi bo ti pani Josoi yeni o lieba po ke bi ñani ba ki ŋa.
and having taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10 Li daali ñiagu ke bi taa Poli yeni silasi ki gedi yenba Bele ban bo pundi bi bo kua Jufinba bangima dieli nni.
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;
11 Ya Jufinba bo ye lan dogu nni bo tie nimɔnba ki cie Tesalonik nba bi bo kuani bi yama yeni i mɔnmɔni u Tienu maama bangima nni ki ŋanbi diidi daali kuli u Tienu maama diani n maadi yaala ya tie mɔnmɔni.
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;
12 Lan bo cedi ke bi siiga nni bi niba bo dugi, yeni Greki nba puoba yeni bi jaba yaaba.
many, indeed, therefore, of them did believe, and of the honourable Greek women and men not a few.
13 Ama Tesaloni Jufi nba n bo gbadi ke Poli maadi u Tienu maama Bere ke bi gedi ki gua fiini o nuwulgu.
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;
14 Li yognu ke Poli kpiiba gba ki sɔni o mi ñinciama po; Ama ke Silasi yeni Timote wani ye lan kani.
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.
15 Yaaba bo ciani Poli bo gedi yeni o hali Ateni. Ban bo ŋa o lan kani ke bi maadi ba Silasi yeni Timote po ke wan tuodi cua bi kani.
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;
16 Poli n bo guu ba Ateni o tagnma bo yagi kelima o dogu yeni kuli bi gbie yeni i buli
and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,
17 Yeni ke poli kua li jaandieli nni ki maadi yeni Jufi nba yeni ya niba bo jaani u Tienu. yeni yaaaba ko bo laadi ba daali kuli bi niba tantaankaanu kani.
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.
18 Ama Epikiriani yeni Stihisiani nba gbabanda bo kpagi'o. ke bi tianbi yedi: «o maciandaano bua maadi be i?» ke bi tianba tua ke: «li naani o kelima o bo wangi ba yesu yeni mi bi tinkpienba findnma.
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,
19 Ke bi taa Poli ki gedi yeni o Aleopasa kani ke yedi: a ba fidi ki wani ti ke gbadi ŋan bangi ya bangiciama yeni?
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,
20 Kelima a maadi a boncana ti tuba nni, lan ya po ke ti bua bandi ŋan maadi ya bonla yeni niima nni.»
for certain strange things thou dost bring to our ears? we wish, then, to know what these things would wish to be;'
21 Ama Atenasa dogtieba yeni ya canba n bo ye li kani biani bi yaama ki ya cengi aboncana.
and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.
22 Lani ke Poli bo fii ki sedi Alopaja nituali nni li yedi: «yinba Ateni yaaba n la ki kuni i yama i jaandi.
And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, 'Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;
23 Kelima min tɔgni i dogi nni naan kuli n la yi tagi tagi yaala ki dondi ki la yi ban jaan naani ke bi diani: Ya Tienu ke yi bani yi». Lanwani i jaani mi yanbɔnma nni min yei yi yaala n yeni.
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.
24 U Tienu yua tagi ŋanduna yeni ya bona ye len nni kuli ki tie tanpoli yeni ki tinga kuli yomdaano yekaanu kan ya tie bi niba n taa bi nugi ki maa ya bonla ki yi jaandieli ka.
'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,
25 Waa luo bonli ba kuli ki bua bi nisaalo nugu n sɔni o po, kelima wan mono n teni bi niba li miali yeni mi fuoma yeni yaali ye kuli.
neither by the hands of men is He served — needing anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 UTienu bo tagi jayedo baba i k o mali ya niba yeni ya mabuoli ye ki tinga ne kuli po. O bo tuodi ki bili bi po u siagu yognu yeni i yeyienkaani bianu.
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 —
27 Bi niba bo baa kpaani u Tienu i. Ki ŋanbi kpaani o ki la 'o. kelima waa fagi yeni ti.
to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and find, — though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,
28 Ama wani ya po i ke ti cuoni ki fuo, yeni ti yema kuli, Yeni ke yi ssiga nni o lonpualo yedi. ti mo tie o ya yaabila i.
for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring.
29 Lan ya po nani ti tie uTienu bila yeni li buali, tin daa maali nani wani u Tienu naani nani wula yeni. bii ligi lan yaa ka tanli yua ke o kpekpiedo kpiedi ke li tie o nisaalo maalma.
'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;
30 Ti bi ki bani puu ya yognu k u Tienu bo cɔdi ti biidi, ama mɔla u Tienu wangi bi niba kaana kuli ke ban lebdi bi yama.
the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform,
31 UTienu bili ya daali ki go gandi o nitegika k o ba bu ŋanduna i mɔnmɔni. U Tienu bo teni lan nilo i mɔnmɔni bignma k o fii bin tinkpiba siiga nni.
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.'
32 Atanasi yaaba n bo gbadi ke Poli maadi bi tinkpienba fiima yeni bi tianba bo ñuadi o ama ke bi tɔba mɔ bo yedi: «ti daa ba faa cengi o maama datɔli.»
And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, 'We will hear thee again concerning this;'
33 Li po n pendi ke Poli yaadi ki ŋaa ba.
and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,
34 ke nitɔba cua bi kani ki dugi li maama po yeni Denis, Aheropajiti, pua bá ke bi bo yi o Damaris yeni bi tɔba.
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.
