Matendo ya Mitume 17
1 Na bho bhapetili mu miji ghya Amfipoli ni Apolonia, bhahidili mpaka mji ghwa Thesalonike ambabho kwa jhele ni sinagogi lya bhayahudi.
Na rĩrĩ, maarĩkia gũtuĩkanĩria Amufipoli na Apolonia, magĩkinya Thesalonike, kũrĩa kwarĩ na thunagogi ya Ayahudi.
2 Kama kya jhijhele kawaida jha Paulo akalota kwa bhene, na kwa muda ghwa magono madatu gha sabato ajadiliene nabhu juu jha maandiku.
Paũlũ agĩtoonya thunagogi, o ta ũrĩa aamenyerete, na mĩthenya ĩtatũ ya Thabatũ akĩaranĩria nao kuuma Maandĩko-inĩ,
3 Ajhele akabhafungulila maandiku ni, kubhajhelesya kujha jhilondekeghe Kristu atesekayi ni kisha kufufuka kabhelel kuhoma kwa bhafu. Abhajobhili, “Ojho Yesu jha nikabhajobhela habari sya muene ndo Kristu.”
akĩmataarĩria na akĩmaiguithia atĩ kwarĩ o nginya Kristũ anyariirĩke na ariũke kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ. Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jesũ ũyũ ndĩramũhe ũhoro wake-rĩ, nĩwe Kristũ.”
4 Baadhi jhe Bhayahudi bhashawishiki ni kuungana ni Paulo ni Sila pamonga ni Bhagiriki bhachamungu, bhamama bhingi bhaongofu ni likundi libhaha lya bhanu.
Ayahudi amwe magĩtĩkĩra ũhoro ũcio na magĩtuĩka a thiritũ ya Paũlũ na Sila, o ũndũ ũmwe na gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa Ayunani etigĩri-Ngai, o na atumia aingĩ arĩa maarĩ igweta.
5 Lakini baadhi jha Bhayahudi bhabhiamini lepi, bhabhamemi bhwifu, bhalotili kusoko ni kubhatola baadhi jha bhanu bhaovu, bhabhongene umati bhwa bhanu pamonga ni kusababisya ghasia mjini, kisha bhakaivamila nyumna jha jasoni bhakalonda kubhakamula Paulo ni Sila ili kubhaleta palongolo pa bhanu.
No Ayahudi makĩigua ũiru; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩcaria andũ arĩa maarĩ mĩtugo mĩũru kuuma ndũnyũ, makĩmacookanĩrĩria gĩkundi, na makĩambĩrĩria kũruta ngũĩ kũu itũũra-inĩ. Nao makĩhanyũka kwa Jasoni gwetha Paũlũ na Sila nĩgeetha mamoimie nja kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ.
6 Lakini bho bhabhakofili bhakan'kamula Yasoni ni baadhi jha bhalongomunu bhangi nikubhapeleka mbele jha maofisa bha mji, bhakapiga kelele, “Abha bhagosi bhabhupenduili ulimwengu bhafikili mpaka khoni kabhele.
No rĩrĩa maamaagire, magĩkururia Jasoni na ariũ a Ithe witũ amwe, makĩmarehe kũrĩ anene a itũũra, makĩanagĩrĩra atĩrĩ: “Andũ aya nĩo marehete thĩĩna thĩ yothe, na rĩu nĩmookĩte gũkũ,
7 Bhagosi abha bhabhakaribisibhu ni Yasoni bhakaiharibu sheria jha kaisari, bhijobha ojhe mfalme jhongi jhaikutibhwa Yesu.”
na Jasoni nĩamanyiitĩte ũgeni thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yake. Othe nĩmarakararia watho wa Kaisari, makoiga atĩ nĩ kũrĩ na mũthamaki ũngĩ wĩtagwo Jesũ.”
8 Umati ni maofisa bha mji bho bhapeliki mambo agha bhajhingibhu ni bhuogha.
Rĩrĩa maaiguire ũguo, kĩrĩndĩ kĩu na anene a itũũra magĩtangĩka mũno.
9 Baada jha kujha bhamakutola hela jha thamani jha ulinzi kuhoma kwa Yasoni ni bhangi bhabhalikisi bhalotayi.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩĩtia Jasoni na andũ arĩa angĩ maarĩ nao irĩhi rĩa kũmarũgamĩrĩra, magĩcooka makĩmarekereria mathiĩ.
10 Kiru khela bhalongobhe bhandaghisi Paulo ni Sila Beroya. Na bhobhafikiri khola bhalotili mu sinagogi lya Bhayahudi.
Na kwarĩĩkia gũtuka-rĩ, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ magĩtũma Paũlũ na Sila mathiĩ Berea. Nao maakinya kuo, magĩtoonya thunagogi ya Ayahudi.
11 Bhanu bhalabha jhele bhenye werevu mbhaha kulikobhala bhanu bha Thesalonike, kwandabha bhajhele ni utayari bhwa kulipokela lilobhi kwa akili sya bhene, ni kuchungusya maandiku khila ligono ili kulola kama malobhi agha ghabhajobhibhu ndo kyaghajhele.
Na rĩrĩ, Ayahudi a Berea maarĩ a ngoro njega gũkĩra Ayahudi a Thesalonike, nĩgũkorwo nĩmamũkĩrire ndũmĩrĩri marĩ na wendo mũingĩ, na magathuthuuragia Maandĩko o mũthenya, nĩgeetha moone kana ũrĩa Paũlũ aameeraga warĩ ũhoro wa ma.
12 Kwa ejho bhingi bha bhene bhakyeriri bhakiweno bhadala bhenye ushawishi mbaha ghwa Bhagiriki ni bhagosi bhingi.
Ayahudi aingĩ nĩmetĩkirie, o ũndũ ũmwe na atumia aingĩ a Ayunani arĩa maarĩ igweta, o na andũ arũme aingĩ Ayunani.
13 Lakini Bhayahudi bha Thesalonike bho bhagunduili kwamba Paulo itangasya lilobhi lya k'yara okhu Beroya, bhalotili okhu ni kuchochela ni kisha kubhwandisya ghasia kwa bhanu.
Rĩrĩa Ayahudi a Thesalonike maamenyire atĩ Paũlũ nĩahunjagia kiugo kĩa Ngai kũu Berea-rĩ, magĩthiĩ kũu o nakuo, magĩthogotha kĩrĩndĩ na magĩgĩthũkia ngoro.
14 Manyata, bhalongomunu bhakampeleka Paulo ku njela jha nyanja, lakini Sila ni Timotheo bhasiele pala.
Hĩndĩ o ĩyo ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ magĩtũma Paũlũ athiĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria, no Sila na Timotheo magĩtigwo kũu Berea.
15 Bhala bhalongo bhabhampeliki Paulo bhalotili naku hadi Athene, bhandekili Paulo okhu, bhapokili malaghisu kuhoma kwa muene kujha, Sila ni Timotheo bhahidayi kwa muene kwa haraka kyajhibhwesekana.
Nao andũ arĩa moimagaririe Paũlũ, makĩmũkinyia Athene, na magĩcooka marĩ na ndũmĩrĩri ya Sila na Timotheo atĩ mathiĩ kũrĩ Paũlũ narua o ta ũrĩa kũngĩhoteka.
16 thene, roho jha muene jhadadisibhu mugati mwa muene kwa jinsi kya abhubhwene mji kya abhumemili sanamu simehele.
Paũlũ o ametereire kũu Athene-rĩ, nĩatangĩkire ngoro mũno nĩkuona ũrĩa itũũra rĩu rĩaiyũrĩte mĩhianano.
17 Efyo akajadiliana mu sinagogi ni Bhayahudi bhala bhabhamehi K'yara ni kwa bhala bhoha bhaabhonene nabhu kila ligono mu soko.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩaranagĩria na Ayahudi o na Ayunani arĩa meeyamũrĩire Ngai kũu thunagogi-inĩ, o na ningĩ akaaragia ndũnyũ-inĩ o mũthenya na andũ arĩa maakoragwo ho.
18 Lakini baadhi jha bhanafalisafa bha Bhaepikureo ni Bhastoiko bhakan'kabili. Ni bhangi bhakajobha, “Kiki kyaaka kijobha munu ojho n'jobhajhi n'dele? Bhangi bhakajobha, “Jhibhonekana ihubiri habari jha K'yara n'hesya” kwandabha ihubiri habari jha Yesu ni ufufuo.
Nakĩo gĩkundi kĩa Aepikurio na Asitoiko, arutani a ũũgĩ, makĩambĩrĩria gũkararania nake. Amwe ao makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ wa mũhuhu arageria kuuga atĩa?” Nao andũ arĩa angĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ta mũndũ ũrahunjia ũhoro wa ngai ngʼeni.” Moigaga ũguo tondũ Paũlũ aahunjagia Ũhoro Mwega wa Jesũ o na wa kũriũka gwake.
19 Bhakan'tola Paulo ni kundeta Areopago, bhakajobha, Twibhwesya kumanya agha mafundisu mapya gha wilongela?
Hĩndĩ ĩyo makĩmuoya na makĩmũtwara mbere ya mũcemanio wa Areopago, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No twende kũmenya atĩrĩ, ũrutani ũyũ mwerũ ũrarutana nĩ ũrĩkũ?
20 Kwa ndabha wileta mambo mahesiya mu mbol'ok'oto sya tete. Henu, twilonda kumanya mambo agha ghana maana gani?”
Tũraigua ũgĩtwarĩria maũndũ mageni, na nĩtũkwenda kũmenya ũrĩa moigĩte.”
21 (Ni bhanu bhoha bha Athene pamonga ni bhahesya bha bhajhele nabhu, bhitumila muda bhwa bhene aidha kwa kulongela ni kup'elekesya juu jha lijambo lipya.)
(Andũ othe a Athene na andũ a kũngĩ arĩa maatũũraga kuo matirĩ ũndũ ũngĩ meekaga tiga kwaria na gũthikĩrĩria ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mageni).
22 Henu, paulo akajhema pagati pa bhanu bha Areopago ni kujobha, “Enyi bhanu bha Athene nibhuene kujha muenga ndo bhanu bha dini kwa kila namna,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Paũlũ akĩrũgama mũcemanio-inĩ wa kĩama kĩu gĩetagwo Areopago akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Andũ aya a Athene, nĩnguona atĩ maũndũ-inĩ mothe mũrĩ andũ a ndini mũno.
23 Kwani kwa kupetela kwa nene ni kulola fenu fya muenga fya kuabud, nighabhuene malobhi gha ghalembibhu mu madhabahu ghinu, ghijobha, “KWA K'YARA JHA AMANYIKENE LEPI.” Efyo basi ojhu jha mukamwabudu pasipokumanya ndo jhanikabhajulisha muenga.
Nĩgũkorwo o na nĩnyonete kĩgongona kĩandĩkĩtwo maandĩko maya: KŨRĨ NGAI ĨRĨA ĨTOĨO, rĩrĩa ngoretwo ngĩceera na ngarora wega indo cianyu iria nyamũre cia kũhooywo. Na rĩrĩ, kĩrĩa mũhooyaga mũtooĩ nĩkĩo ngũmũhe ũhoro wakĩo.
24 K'yara jhaabhombili bhulimwengu ni kila khenu kya kijhele mugati kwakujha ndo Bwana ghwa mbingu ni nchi ibhwesya lepi kutama mu mahekalu gha ghatengenesibhu ni mabhoko.
“Ngai ũrĩa wombire thĩ na indo ciothe iria irĩ kuo nĩwe Mwathani wa igũrũ na thĩ, na ndatũũraga hekarũ ciakĩtwo na moko.
25 Na itumikibhwa lepi ni mabhoko gha bhanadamu kana kwamba ilonda khenu kwa bhene kwani, muene akabhapela bhanu uzima ni pumzi ni fenu fengi fyoha.
Na ndatungatagwo na moko ma andũ, ta abataire kĩndũ, tondũ we mwene nĩwe ũheaga andũ muoyo na mĩhũmũ o na indo iria ingĩ ciothe.
26 Kup'etela munu mmonga, aghabhombi mataifa ghoha gha bhanu bhabhitama panani pa uso bhwa dunia ni kubhabhekela nyakati ni mipaka mu maeneo gha bhatama.
Kuuma harĩ mũndũ ũmwe, nĩathondekire ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia andũ nĩguo matũũre kũndũ guothe thĩ; na agĩtua mahinda mao o na kũndũ kũrĩa megũtũũra.
27 Henu, bhilondeka kundonda K'yara, ni yamkini bhamfikilayi ni kun'kabha, ni kwa bhuhakika ajhelepi patali ni khila mmonga bhitu.
Ngai eekire ũguo nĩgeetha andũ mamũmaathe na hihi mamũhambatĩrie mamuone, o na gũtuĩka ndarĩ haraaya na o ũmwe witũ.
28 kwa muene twitama twigenda ni kujha ni uzima bhwitu, kama vile mtunzi ghwa jhomu mmonga ghwa shairi bho ajobhili twebhazawa bha muene.
‘Nĩgũkorwo nĩ thĩinĩ wake tũtũũraga na tũgetwara, na tũgakorwo tũrĩ muoyo.’ O ta ũrĩa aandĩki amwe a nyĩmbo cianyu moigĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Ithuĩ tũrĩ a rũciaro rwake.’
29 Henu ikajhelayi tete twebhazaiwa bha K'yara, twilondeka lepi kufikiri kujha uungu ni kama dhahabu, au shaba, au maganga, sanamu jhajhichongibhu kwa ustadi ni mawazo gha bhanu.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kuona atĩ tũrĩ a rũciaro rwa Ngai, tũtiagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩciiria atĩ Ngai ahaana ta mũhianano wa thahabu kana wa betha, o na kana wa ihiga, ũrĩa ũthondeketwo na mũthugundĩre na ũũgĩ wa mũndũ.
30 Henu, K'yara agudeme nyakati sela sya bhujinga, lakini henu iamuru bhanu bhoha kila mahali bhabhwesya kutubu.
Mahinda ma tene Ngai ndaigana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio wa kwaga ũmenyo, no rĩu nĩathĩte andũ othe a kũndũ guothe merire.
31 Ejhe kwa ndabha abhekili ligono lya ilonda kujhihukumu dunia kwa haki kwa munu jhaan'chaguili. K'yara apisisi bhuhakika bhwa munu ojho kwa khila munu pala paamfufuili kuhoma kwa bhafu.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩatuĩte mũthenya ũrĩa agaatuĩra thĩ ciira na kĩhooto na ũndũ wa mũndũ ũrĩa athuurĩte. Nĩamenyithanĩtie ũndũ ũyũ kũrĩ andũ othe na ũndũ wa kũriũkia Jesũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.”
32 Ni bhanu bha Athene bho bhap'eliki habari jha kufufulibhwa kwa bhafu, baadhi jha bhene bhan'dhihakili Paulo ila bhangi bhakajobha, Tukuup'elekesya kabhele kwa habari jha lijambo e'le.”
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maiguire ũhoro wa kũriũka kwa arĩa akuũ, amwe ao magĩtheka, no angĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũkwenda gũkũigua ũkĩaria ũhoro ũcio hĩndĩ ĩngĩ.”
33 Baada jha apu, Paulo akabhaleka.
Maarĩkia kuuga ũguo, Paũlũ akĩehera Kĩama-inĩ kĩu.
34 Lakini baadhi jha bhanu bhaungeneni muene bhakakiera, akajha ni Dionisio Mwareopago, ni N'dala jhaikutibhwa Dmari ni bhangi pamonga nabhu.
Andũ mataarĩ aingĩ magĩtuĩka arũmĩrĩri a Paũlũ na magĩĩtĩkia. Ũmwe wao aarĩ Dionisio, mũndũ warĩ wa thiritũ ya Areopago, o na mũtumia wetagwo Damari, na angĩ maigana ũna.
