Oihana 17
1 A KAAHELE laua ma Amepipoli, a ma Apolonia, hele ae la laua i Tesalonike, a malaila kekahi halehalawai o ka poe Iudaio.
And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 Komo aku la o Paulo io lakou la, e like me kona aoao mau, a ekoiu Sabati ana i kamailio aku ai ia lakou, ma ka palapala hemolele;
And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures:
3 E wehewehe ana a e hooiaio ana, he pono ke make ka Mesia, a e ala hou ae mai ka make mai; a o Iesu nei, ka mea a'u e hai aku nei ia oukou, oia no ka Mesia.
Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you.
4 A ae aku la kekahi poe o lakou, a hoopili aku la me Paulo laua me Sila, a me kekahi poe Helene haipule he nui loa, a me na wahine koikoi aole kakaikahi.
And some of them believed, and were associated to Paul and Silas; and of those that served God, and of the Gentiles a great multitude, and of noble women not a few.
5 Lili nae na ludaio manaoio ole, a kii aku la i mau kanaka ino o ka poe palaualelo, a hoakoakoa iho la i poe nui, a hoohaunaele iho la i ke kulanakauhale, lele aku la i ka hale o Iasona, imi iho la ia laua e alako i kanaka.
But the Jews, moved with envy, and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason’s house, sought to bring them out unto the people.
6 A i ka loaa ole o laua, kauo mai la lakou ia Iasona, a me kekahi poe hoahanau i na luna o ua kulanakauhale la, uwauwa mai la lakou, O keia poe nana i hoohaunaele i ko na aina a pau, ua hele mai hoi lakou ia nei;
And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar, are come hither also;
7 Na Iasona i hookipa ia lakou. Ua hana lakou a pau ma ke ku e i ke kanawai o Kaisara; no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei lakou, he alii e o Iesu.
Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
8 Pioloke iho la ka ahakanaka, a me na luna o ke kulanakauhale i keia mau mea, i ko lakou lohe ana.
And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things,
9 A lawe lakou i uku panai no Iasona, a no kekahi poe o ae, alaila bookuu aku la ia lakou.
And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
10 Hoouna koko ae la na hoahanau ia Paulo laua me Sila i Beroia i kapo. A hiki laua ilaila, komo ae la iloko o ka halehalawai o ka poo Iudaio.
But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 Oi aku ko lakou nei maikai, i ko Tesalonike, no ka mea, ua apo mai lakou i ka olelo me ka manao koke, huli no hoi lakou i kela la i keia la ma ka palapala hemolele, ina paha ho oiaio keia mau mea.
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so.
12 No ia mea, nui no lakou i manaoio mai, a me na wahine Helene koikoi, a me na kane aohe uuku.
And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.
13 A ike ka poe Iudaio no Tesalonike ua haiia ka olelo a ke Akua ma Beroia e Paulo, kele mai no hoi lakou ilaila, a hoohaunaele i kanaka.
And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude.
14 Alaila hoouna koke ae la na hoabanau ia Paulo e hele i kai; aka, noho iho la o Sila laua me Temoteo malaila.
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
15 A o ka poe alakai aku ia Paulo, lawe aku la lakou ia ia i Atenai. A loaa ia lakou kahi kauoha no Sila laua me Timoteo, e hele koke laua io na la, alaila hoi mai la lakou.
And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.
16 I ko Paulo kali ana ia laua ma Atenai, ua hooeoeuia kona naau iloko ona, i kona ike ana, ua lilo loa ke kulanakauhale i ka malama kii.
Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.
17 Nolaila, hoopaapaa aku la ia me ka poe Iudaio maloko o ka halehalawai, a me kekahi poe haipule, a ma kahi kuai no hoi i kela la i keia la, me ka poe i halawai me ia.
He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them that served God, and in the marketplace, every day with them that were there.
18 Hoopaapaa aku la ia ia kekahi poe akeakamai o ka poe Epikoureio, a me ka poe Setoiko. A i mai la kekahi poe, Heaha ka mea a keia haukae e olelo mai ai? I mai la kekahi, Me he kanaka e hai ana i na akua e keia; no ka mea, ua hai i mai la no oia ia Iesu ia lakou, a me ke alahouana.
And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him; and some said: What is it, that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.
19 Lalau aku la lakou ia ia, a lawe aku la ia ia i Areiopago, i aku la, E hiki anei ia makou ke ao i keia olelo hou au e hai mai nei?
And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?
20 No ka mea, ko lawo mai nei oe i na mea o na ko makou mau pepeiao, ke makemake nei makou e ike i ke ano o keia mau mea.
For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
21 (O ko Atonai a pau a me ko laila malihini, o ka lakou hana wale no keia, o ka bai mai a me ka hoolohe aku i na mea hou.)
(Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.)
22 Alaila ku mai la o Paulo mawaenakonu o Areiopago, i mai ia, E na kanaka o Atonai nei, ke ike nei au, ua ikaika loa oukou i ka malama i na akua, ma na mea a pau.
But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious.
23 No ka mea, i ko'u hele ana ae, nana aku la au i ko oukou mea e hoomana'i, a ike au i kokahi lele, ua palapalaia maluna penei, NO KE AKUA IKE OLE IA. Nolaila o ka mea a oukou e hoomana naaupo aku ai, oia no ka'u e bai aku nei ia oukou.
For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God. What therefore you worship, without knowing it, that I preach to you:
24 O ke Akua nana i bana ke ao nei, a me na mea a pau iloko, o ka Haku no ia o ka lani a me ka honoa, aole ia e nobo maloko o ka hale i hanaia e na lima;
God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Aole hoi ia i malamaia e na lima kanaka, aole nae ia i nelo i kekahi mea; nana no i haawi mai nei ke ola no na mea a pau, a me ka banu, a me na mea a pau;
Neither is he served with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing; seeing it is he who giveth to all life, and breath, and all things:
26 A nana no i hana i na lahuikanaka a pau i ke koko hookahi, i noho lakou ma ka honua nei; aia hoi ua paa i kona manao kahiko ka hope o na wa, a me na mokuna o ko iakou wahi e noho ai;
And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation.
27 I imi lakou i ke Akua, ina paha lakou e haha a e loaa no ia, aole hoi ia e loihi aku o kela mea keia mea o kakou;
That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us:
28 No ka mea, maloko ona e ola nei, a e hele nei, a e noho nei kakou; e like me ka olelo ana a kekahi haku mele o oukou, He poe keiki kakou nana.
For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.
29 Ina he poe keiki kakou na ke Akua, aole pono ia kakou ke manao i ko ke Akua ano, ua like ia me ke gula, a me ke kala, a me ka pohaku i kalaiia ma ke akamai a me ka noonoo o kanaka.
Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man.
30 Hoomanawanui mai la ke Akua i na wa o keia naaupo ana; aka, keia manawa, ke kauoha mai nei ia i kanaka a pau ma na wahi a pau loa, e mihi.
And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance.
31 No ka mea, ua hoomaopopo oia i ka la e hookolokolo ai i ko ke ao nei me ka pono, na ke kanaka ana i olelo ai; ua hoike pono mai hoi ia i ka oiaio o ia mea i na kanaka a pau, i kona hoala ana mai ia ia, mai ka make mai.
Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed; giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead.
32 A lohe lakou i ke alahouana o ka poe make, hoohenehene kekahi poe; a i mai la kekahi, E hoolohe hou aku paha makou ia oe i keia mea.
And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
33 No ia mea, hele aku la o Paulo mai waena aku o lakou.
So Paul went out from among them.
34 Aka hoi, pipili aku la kekahi poe ia ia, a manaoio aku la, o Dionusio, no Areiopago, kekahi o lakou, a me kekahi wahine o Damari kona inoa, a me kekahi poe pu me laua.
But certain men adhering to him, did believe; among whom was also Dionysius, the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
