Katuma 17
1 Anyimo atanu ti we me wa tarsi una u Amfibolis nan Aboloniya uhana ani pin ni utasalonika a hira sa udenge unigura na Yahudawa.
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 Bulus, gusi imum me sa ma harika uwuza me ma kem we waziki ti auto ta asabar ti taru uni gunguzino tize ta Asere nigo me.
So Paul, as was his custom, went in to them and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3 Sa mazi unu dungura uwe tize ti ugomo Asere unu bezi uwe abanga a vana ugomo Asere ini ijasi nan iwono me sa idi kem me, magun we Yesu ugeme sa inzini u boo shi me, me mani unu dang me.
explaining and demonstrating that the Messiah had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and that “this Jesus whom I proclaim to you is the Messiah.”
4 Sa wa kunna tize me, are ayahudawa wa dusa wa kabi tini, wa kuri ani kira ni Bulus nan Silas nan ni'ori na Ahelinawa ana katuma ka Asere wa ane adangdang.
Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of devout Greeks and not a few of the prominent women.
5 Abini me anu zatu tarsa Asere Ayahudawa wa kunna ni'eru amu ruba wa dusa ha wa tita aye anu dire ace wa ori anu gbardang wa hem wadi shagilka ni pin me; wadi muruba ma nu, abini me wa ribe akura a Jason, wa nyari asuso we Bulus nan Silas.
But the disobedient Jews rounded up some wicked men from the marketplace, and forming a mob they created an uproar in the city; and attacking the house of Jason, they wanted to bring them out to the crowd.
6 Sa wa ribe daki wa ira a Bulus me ni ba, wa dusa waki Jason nan are anuhenu wa han we aje ati gomo wa gu “anu ageme wani wa cara ticukum tiru me, wa cara timumum kan.
But not finding them they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials vociferating: “These who have upset the whole world have come here too,
7 Anu ageme sa Jason ma kaba wa cara cara tize me sa kaisar ma inki wa gusa ure ugomo ma kuri marani sa a tisa me Yesu.
to whom Jason has given lodging. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.”
8 Sa ni'ori na nabu nan anu adangdang anipin wa kunna mu ruba.
Well they agitated the crowd and the city officials when they heard these things.
9 Adusa ari Jason ikirfi, barki imum me sa ma wuza, wadi ku ceki me ma dusa.
Then they took a security bond from Jason and the rest and let them go.
10 Sa niye na euna nihenu ni ntuburko Bulus nan Silas ubiriya, sa wa biki abini me, wa ha udenge unigura wa Ayahudawa.
Immediately, during the night, the brothers sent both Paul and Silas away to Berea; on arriving they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 Abini me anu me wa bezi uruba iti nanu wa teki an desa wa ra Utasalonikawa, wa kabi tize me in tari ti re, wa gunguzuno tini konde uya uwui bati wa rusi ti mum me ti ra a ynimo tize me.
Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all goodwill, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things might be so.
12 Abini me maro ma nu me wa kabi tize ti ugomo Asere nan anu adang wa Heniyawa ahana arum nan ahana a e.
Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.
13 Sa a yahudawa Utasalonika wa kunna Bulus ma zini uwuza tize ta Asere a Ubiriya wa ha wa ka samirka ni'ori na nume.
But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the Word of God was also being proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came too, agitating the crowds.
14 Nihenu anu tarsa Asere wa dusa wa tuburko Bulus uhana uraba udang; wadi ku ceki Silas nan Timoti abini me
So then, without delay, the brothers sent Paul away, as if to go by sea, while both Silas and Timothy remained there.
15 . Andesa wa bezi Bulus una me waka tibi piit uhana Antina. Wadi ku zen in kadura ka Bulus wa nya Silas nan Timoti. Kadura ka gu wa ha dibe.
But those who were conducting Paul actually took him all the way to Athens; and receiving a command to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they started back.
16 Sa Bulus mazin unu be uwe Utina iruba imeme ya corno sa ma ira anu unu tarsa umakiri.
Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was increasingly aroused within him as he observed that the city was full of idols.
17 konda umaya wake wa wuzi matara nan Ayahudawa udenge uni gura na hana Asere nan anu me sa ahira abipkija kpija
So he reasoned both in the synagogue with the Jews and devout persons, and in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there.
18 Are Abikuriya nan sitokiya anu poko aje wa dusa wa hiri wa tonno ani ce ni Bulus. Unu igizo nyanini unu ipirkan igeme mazini ubo me? Aye unu gusa, aye unu gusa mazini bo utize anice ni mare makiri unu tisa niza ni Yesu nan uhira amu cau.
Then certain philosophers, both Epicureans and Stoics, encountered him. Some said, “What might this idea-scavenger want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities”—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.
19 Wadusa wa ziki wa han me ani po ni Urasa wa iki me uya udungura usso uni mazini?
So taking him in tow they led him to the Areopagus and said: “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
20 Wagu “ta ira wa aye intire tize tisso atitui tiru sa daki ta mu kunna tini. Barki ani me ti nyara ti rusi tini ti gusa nyanini?
Because you are bringing some strange things to our ears, and we would like to know what they might mean.”
21 Ta ira Antaniya nan agenu aweme wa huza uganiya uweme unu kunna tize tisso.
(Now all Athenians and resident foreigners spent their time in nothing else but to tell, or else to hear, some novelty.)
22 Ba Bulus ma dusa ma tonno ani po ni urasa magu”ma ira usassana una me sa itarsa agi itarsa Asere. “
So standing in the middle of the Areopagus Paul said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious;
23 Ma iri imum me sa itarsa, in kuri in iri ahira sa i nonzizo makiri mashi me sa ya nyertike ani ce na Asere sa ada rusa ni ba”nyanini ya wuna i haka amare ma buka shi imum igeme.
because as I went along and scrutinized the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO UNKNOWN GOD. Now then, the one you worship as ‘unknown’, this is the One I proclaim to you:
24 Ugomo Asere madi sa ma barka Asere nan adizi nan utimumun sa first anyimo meme, mada ciki me udenge sa a barka Ontari ba.
The God who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples built by hands,
25 Ada nonzo me Asere in tari tu nu ba, gusi ma nyari iri mum, sa me mani ma nyiza anu nihuma, bivai nan ukasu utimumum me.
neither is He cared for by men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself has always given life and breath to all.
26 Usuro unu u'inde ma barka anu sa wa ra une ugeme sa a nya we ibinani nan uganiya barki ticukum ti nu.
And from one blood He made every ethnic nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,
27 Ca anu wa nyari ugomo Asere wadi kem me.
so that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
28 Anyimo ameme ani ti cikini ti kenzi nihuma, gusi ure uni gyerte ira ishi me ma buki” haru anu abisana ameme wani”.
because in Him we live and move and have our being. As also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
29 Ucukuno uru bisana bi ugomo Asere kati gusi ugomo Asere mazi gusi nipo, nani are asiba unu.
Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divinity is like gold or silver or stone—something shaped by human skill and imagination.
30 Ugomo Asere mada bassa timumum sa uganiya uzatu rusa utize ta Asere. Barki ani me mamu inko uwui sa madi inki une aje ameme, konde vi ma nya timumum me sa ma wuza.
Such times of ignorance God did indeed overlook, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent,
31 Usuro unu me zauka, Asere ma nya unu ugeme bati ma bezi unu ugeme ahira uhirza usur icau.
because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained; He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
32 Sa anu Antaniya wa kunna abanga uhira inki unu ma wono, aye wa zuzi Bulus aye wagu “tidi kuri ti kunna abanga ageme”.
Well when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some started scoffing, while others said, “We will hear you again about this.”
33 Sa a mara Bulus ma ceki a bini me.
And with that Paul went out from among them.
34 Aye wa kabi tize tasere wa tarsi me, gusi Diyonisiyas una aka tuma, Arasa nan ure une una niza ni Damarisa nan unu kasu.
However some men believed and joined him, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, also a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
