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 there was a Jewish synagogue.
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;
Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from 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.
explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the 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.
Some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the prominent women.
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, being moved with jealousy, took along some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they 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;
When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, "These who have turned the world upside down have 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. These all act 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.
The crowd and the rulers of the city were troubled 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.
When they had taken security from Jason and 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.
The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
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, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see 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.
Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
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 of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, inciting and disturbing the crowds.
14 Alaila hoouna koke ae la na hoabanau ia Paulo e hele i kai; aka, noho iho la o Sila laua me Temoteo malaila.
Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed 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.
But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, 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 was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
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.
So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met 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.
Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be advocating foreign deities," because he preached 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?
They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?
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 want to 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 the strangers living 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.
Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
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 along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce 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;
The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell 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 by human hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself 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;
He made from one blood every nation of the human race to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,
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 perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each 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 some 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.
Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by human art and design.
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.
The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should 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 which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to everyone by raising 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.
Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We want to hear you again concerning this."
33 No ia mea, hele aku la o Paulo mai waena aku o lakou.
Thus 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 some people joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
