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.
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where 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, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days 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.
Opening and alleging, that Christ must essentially have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
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 consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief 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 which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to 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 when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come here 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 has received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one 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 troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
9 A lawe lakou i uku panai no Iasona, a no kekahi poe o ae, alaila bookuu aku la ia lakou.
And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, 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.
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming 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.
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word (logos) with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those 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.
Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, 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.
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word (logos) of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
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 as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
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 unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus in order to 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 while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit (pneuma) was stirred in him, when he saw 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.
Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
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.
Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seems to be a proclaimer of strange gods: because he preached unto 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 they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof you speak, is?
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 you bring certain strange 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.)
(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear 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.
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, All of you men of Athens, I perceive that in all things all of 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 as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore all of you ignorantly worship, him declare I unto 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 that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells 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 worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he gives 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 has made of one blood all nations of men in order to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds 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 the Lord, if lest by any means they might feel after him, and find him, though 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 have our being; as certain also of your own poets have 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.
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by are and man's device.
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 the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent:
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 has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him 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 heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter.
33 No ia mea, hele aku la o Paulo mai waena aku o lakou.
So Paul departed 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.
Nevertheless certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
