Asan'ny Apostoly 17
1 Ie niranga i Ampifolia naho i Apolonia le nandoake e Tesalonika fa ama’e ao ty Fitontonan-Jiosy.
Nowe as they passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a Synagogue of the Iewes.
2 Nizilik’ am-pitontonañ’ ao t’i Paoly amy lili’ey, le nitoroa’e boak’ amo Sokitse Masiñeo ami’ty Sabotse telo,
And Paul, as his maner was, went in vnto them, and three Sabbath daies disputed with them by the Scriptures,
3 nampalange naho nampidodea te tsi-mahay tsy nijale i Norizañey vaho nitroatse amy havilasiy, ami’ty hoe, Iesoà itaroñakoy, ie ‘nio i Norizañey.
Opening, and alleadging that Christ must haue suffered, and risen againe from the dead: and this is Iesus Christ, whom, said he, I preach to you.
4 Niantoke ty ila’e le nirekets’ amy Paoly naho i Silasy; nanao zay ka ty maro amo Grika mpitalahoo, vaho maromaro amo roakemba beio.
And some of them beleeued, and ioyned in companie with Paul and Silas: also of the Grecians that feared God a great multitude, and of the chiefe women not a fewe.
5 Fe nañitrike ondaty tsivokatse boak’ an-tsena ao am-pikirañañe, o Tehodao, nitrobotrobo i lahialeñey, nampivalitsingorake i rovay; vaho nifajifajy mb’ añ’ anjomba’ i Jasona hañakarañe iareo mb’amy màroy.
But the Iewes which beleeued not, mooued with enuie, tooke vnto them certaine vagabonds and wicked fellowes, and whe they had assembled the multitude, they made a tumult in the citie, and made assault against the house of Iason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
6 F’ie tsy nitendreke; le kinororòke mb’añatrefa’ o bei’ i rovaio mb’eo t’i Jasona naho ty roahalahy ila’e, vaho nitazataza ty hoe: Hehe te nivotrak’ atoy ka o mpampibalitaboake ty tane toio,
But when they found them not, they drew Iason and certaine brethren vnto the heads of the citie, crying, These are they which haue subuerted the state of the world, and here they are,
7 mbore nampihovàe’ i Jasona. Mandilatse o lilin-Kaisarao ty sata’ iareo le inao eo ze o mpanjaka tovo’e atao Iesoà zao.
Whom Iason hath receiued, and these all doe against the decrees of Cesar, saying that there is another King, one Iesus.
8 Ie nahajanjiñe izay, le nitsiborehetoke i lahialeñey naho o bein-drovao.
Then they troubled the people, and the heads of the citie, when they heard these things.
9 Le nampandoà’ iareo àntoke t’i Jasona naho o rañe’eo vaho navotsotse.
Notwithstanding when they had receiued sufficient assurance of Iason and of the other, they let them goe.
10 Aa le nahitri’ o roahalahio aniany amy haleñey mb’e Berea mb’eo t’i Paoly naho i Silasy. Ie pok’ eo le nizilik’ am-pitontonan-Jiosy ao.
And the brethren immediatly sent away Paul and Silas by night vnto Berea, which when they were come thither, entred into ye Synagogue of the Iewes.
11 Nivañoñe te amo nte Tesalonikao iretoa, amy t’ie nandrambe o tsarao am-pahimbañañe vaho nañotsohotso o Sokitse Masiñeo lomoñandro handrendreke ty hatò’ o raha zao.
These were also more noble men then they which were at Thessalonica, which receiued the woorde with all readinesse, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Aa le maro ty niantoke, miharo ami’ty roakemba maromaro aman-kasy naho amo lahilahy Grikao.
Therefore many of them beleeued, and of honest women, which were Grecians, and men not a fewe.
13 Aa ie nifohi’ o Jiosy nte Tesalonikao te mbore nitaroñe i tsaran’ Añaharey e Berea t’i Paoly, le niheo mb’eo ka iereo nitrobo i lahialeñey.
But when the Iewes of Thessalonica knewe, that the woord of God was also preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and mooued the people.
14 Le nampihitrife’ o roahalahio pak’an-driak’ añe aniany t’i Paoly, fe mbe nitambatse eo t’i Silasy naho i Timoty.
But by and by the brethren sent away Paul to goe as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
15 Nasese’ o lahilahio pak’ Atena añe t’i Paoly; le nimpoly ninday saontsy amy Silasy naho i Timoty ty homb’ama’e añe masìka.
And they that did conduct Paul, brought him vnto Athens: and when they had receiued a commandement vnto Silas and Timotheus that they shoulde come to him at once, they departed.
16 Nandiñe iareo e Atena ao t’i Paoly fe nitsimboetse añ’arofo t’ie nahaisake te lifo-kazomanga i rovay.
Nowe while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirite was stirred in him, when hee sawe the citie subiect to idolatrie.
17 Aa le nitaroñe lomoñandro amo Jiosio naho amo mpañeveñe aman’ Añahareo am-pitontonañe ao naho an-tsena ey amy ze nifanampe ama’e.
Therefore he disputed in the Synagogue with the Iewes, and with them that were religious, and in the market daily with whomesoeuer he met.
18 Nifanaontsy ama’e ka o mpikaro-kihitse amo Epikoreo naho amo Stoikao. Hoe ty ila’e: Ino ty ho volañe’ ty mpangaradadake tìa? Hoe ka ty ila’e: Hoe t’ie mpitalily ndrañahare hafa, amy t’ie nitaroñe Iesoà naho i fivañonambelo’ey.
Then certaine Philosophers of the Epicures, and of the Stoickes, disputed with him, and some sayde, What will this babler say? Others sayde, He seemeth to be a setter forth of straunge gods (because hee preached vnto them Iesus, and the resurrection.)
19 Rinambe’ iereo naho nasese mb’ami’ty Areopagò mb’eo, le nanao ty hoe: Ehe ampahafohino anay te inoñe o fañòhañe vao saontsie’oo;
And they tooke him, and brought him into Mars streete, saying, May we not know, what this newe doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
20 amy t’ie minday enta ankafankafa an-dravembia’ay, paia’ay ty hahafohiñe ty lengo’ o raha zao.
For thou bringest certaine strange thinges vnto our eares: we woulde knowe therefore, what these things meane.
21 (Toe fonga tsy nanao inoñ’ inoñe o nte Atenao naho ze ambahiny ao naho tsy ty hitalily ndra ty hijanjiñe ze atao vao lomoñandro.)
For all the Athenians, and strangers which dwelt there, gaue them selues to nothing els, but either to tell, or to heare some newes.
22 Aa le nijohañe añivo’ i Vohi-Arese eo t’i Paoly nanao ty hoe: O ry nte Atenao! Treako t’ie vata’e mpitalaho amy ze he’e.
Then Paul stoode in the mids of Mars streete, and sayde, Yee men of Athens, I perceiue that in all things yee are too superstitious.
23 Izaho nijenlajelañe, nisamba o fitalahoa’ areoo, le nizoeko ty kitrely nipatereñe ty hoe: Ho amy t’i Andrianañahare tsy Fohiñe. Aa le hitaroñako i italahoa’ areo fa tsy apota’ areoy.
For as I passed by, and behelde your deuotions, I founde an altar wherein was written, VNTO THE VNKNOWEN GOD. Whom ye then ignorantly worship, him shewe I vnto you.
24 I Andrianañahare nanao ty voatse toy naho ze he’e ama’ey, ie i Talè i likerañey naho ty tane toiy vaho tsy mpimoneñe an-kibohotse nanoem-pitàñe re;
God that made the world, and all things that are therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaue and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands,
25 mbore tsy atràm-pità’ ondaty—ino ty paiae’e? Ie ty mpanolo-kaveloñe naho arofo vaho ze he’e.
Neither is worshipped with mens handes, as though he needed any thing, seeing hee giueth to all life and breath and all things,
26 Le songa namboare’e an-dio raike ze foko’ ondaty, himoneña’e an-tane atoy, le ie ty nisafiry o sàn’ andro hiraoraoa’ iareo, vaho ty efem-pimoneña’ iareo;
And hath made of one blood all mankinde, to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath assigned the seasons which were ordeined before, and the boundes of their habitation,
27 soa te hipay an’ Andrianañahare, hitsoek’ aze, he ho tendreke, ie tsy lavitse an-tikañ’ iaby.
That they shoulde seeke the Lord, if so be they might haue groped after him, and founde him though doubtlesse he be not farre from euery one of vs.
28 Fa ama’e ao tika ro veloñe naho mihetseke vaho manañ’ aiñe, manahake ty fitaroña’ o mpahay sabo’ areoo, ty hoe: Tarira’e ka tikañe.
For in him we liue, and mooue, and haue our being, as also certaine of your owne Poets haue sayd, for we are also his generation.
29 Aa kanao tariran’ Añahare tika, le tsy mete ty fitsakorean-tika te ampihambañeñe ami’ty volamena ndra volafoty ndra vato nisokireñe an-kilala naho ami’ty hihi’ ondatio i Masiñey.
Forasmuch then, as we are the generation of God, we ought not to thinke that ye Godhead is like vnto gold, or siluer, or stone grauen by arte and the inuention of man.
30 Ie nihevea’e heike an-tsa habahimoañe, ro taroñen’ Añahare henaneo te tsi-mete tsy hene misoloho ondatio ndra aia aia,
And the time of this ignorance God regarded not: but nowe hee admonisheth all men euery where to repent,
31 amy te nifotoàña’e andro zaka an-katò ty voatse toy añam’ indaty tinendre’ey; ie niventè’e amy ze kila ondaty amy nampitroara’e an-kavilasy.
Because hee hath appoynted a day in the which he wil iudge the world in righteousnes, by that man whome hee hath appoynted, whereof he hath giuen an assurance to all men, in that hee hath raised him from the dead.
32 Aa ie jinanji’ iereo ty hoe: Fitroarañ’ an-kavilasy, le nikobìha’ ty ila’e, vaho hoe ka ty ila’e: Mbe hijanjiña’ay indraike.
Now when they heard of the resurrection from the dead, some mocked, and other sayde, We will heare thee againe of this thing.
33 Aa le nienga iareo t’i Paoly.
And so Paul departed from among them.
34 Fe nipitek’ ama’e t’indaty ila’e vaho niato. Tam’ iereo t’i Dionisio, mpiamy Areopagoy, naho ty rakemba atao Damarie vaho ty ila’e.
Howbeit certaine men claue vnto Paul, and beleeued: among whome was also Denys Areopagita, and a woman named Damaris, and other with them.
