Pakhonchatpa 17
1 Paul amadi Silas-na Amphipolis amadi Apollonia phaoduna chatlaga Thessalonica-da lakle, mapham aduda synagogue ama leirammi.
And having traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came into Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 Mahakki hounabi matung inna Paul-na synagogue aduda chatlammi. Potthaba numit ahumlak mapham aduda mahakna mising aduga Mapugi puyadagi neinaduna
And according to custom to Paul, he came in unto them, and for three Sabbaths he expounded unto them from the scriptures,
3 Christtadi awaba khangba tai amadi sibadagi hinggatpa tai haiba adu sandokna taktuna utlammi. Mahakna hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida sandokliba Jisu asi Christta aduni.”
opening and proving, that it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is the Christ.
4 Jihudisinggi maraktagi khara aduga Tengban Mapubu kina chatchaba Greek-ki mi mayam amaga athoiba nupi mayam amagana thajaduna Paul amadi Silas-ka pulle.
And certain ones of them were persuaded, and identified themselves with Paul and Silas, and of the pious Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
5 Adubu Jihudising kharana kalakpadagi phattaba mi khara lambidagi khomjillaga kangbu ama semduna sahar adu irang houhalle. Aduga makhoina Paul amadi Silas-pu miyam mamangda puthoknaba Jason kouba nupa asigi yumda makhoina thomjinlammi.
But the Jews giving away to jealousy, and receiving to themselves certain wicked men of those around the forum, and raising a mob, continued to put the city in an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they were seeking to lead them out to the people:
6 Adubu makhoina makhoibu phangdrabada, makhoina Jason amadi thajaba mioi khara chingduna sahar adugi angambasinggi mamangda puraklaga laorak-i, “Taibangpanbu mathak makha olhalliba mising asi mapham asidasu lakle,
but not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, roaring that, These who have turned the world upside down are also come hither;
7 aduga Jason-na makhoibu mahakki yumda taramna oktuna thamle. Jisu kouba atoppa ningthou ama lei haiduna makhoi pumnamakna Caesar-gi wayel yathangsing thugaire.”
whom Jason has received: and all these are doing contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another King, Jesus.
8 Waheising asi tabada miyam amadi sahar adugi angambasing adu irang houhalle.
And they excited the rabble and the city rulers hearing these things;
9 Adudagi angambasing aduna Jason amasung ateising adu jamin pihallaga thadoklammi.
and having received satisfaction from Jason and the others they sent them away.
10 Ahing hek oibaga thajabasingna Paul amadi Silas-pu Berea-da tharammi. Makhoina mapham aduda thungbaga synagogue-ta chatlammi.
But the brethren immediately sent away both Paul and Silas to Berea by night, who coming into the synagogue of the Jews departed;
11 Thessalonica-da leiba misingdagidi mapham aduda leiba misingna henna wakhal chao-i. Makhoina pao adu yamna khourangna tai aduga Paul-na hairiba adu chumbra haibadu numit khudinggi Mapugi puya neinaduna kupna thijillammi.
but these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all enthusiasm, searching the scriptures daily, if these things are so.
12 Greek-ki masak naiba nupi kaya ama amadi Greek-ki nupa kaya amasu yaona makhoi mayam amana thajarammi.
Then indeed many of them believed, and of the noble Greek women and men, not a few;
13 Adubu Paul-na Berea-dasu Tengban Mapugi wa sandokle haiba Thessalonica-da leiba Jihudisingna tabada makhoina mapham aduda laktuna miyambu thoujinduna irang houhallammi.
but when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was preached by Paul in Berea, they came thither also, agitating and stirring up the rabbles.
14 Thajabasing aduna Paul-bu khudakta Ipak mapan tanna thakhre adubu Silas amadi Timothy-di Berea-da leihourammi.
But immediately at that time the brethren sent away Paul to travel even to the sea: and Silas and Timothy remained there.
15 Paul-bu thillakpa mising aduna mahakpu Athens phaoba pubire aduga Silas amadi Timothy-bu yariba makhei thuna mahakki manakta laknaba mahakna hairakpa wahei adu puduna makhoina Berea-da hallakle.
But having embarked Paul, they led him even to Athens: and receiving commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed from him.
16 Paul-na Athens-ta Silas amadi Timothy ngairingeida, mahakna sahar adu lai murtisingna thanna leiba adu ubada mahak thamoi yamna soklammi.
But Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, seeing the city devoted to idolatry.
17 Maram aduna mahakna synagogue-ta Jihudisingga amasung Tengban Mapubu kina chatchaba Jihudi nattabasingga khanna neinarammi aduga numit khudinggi keithelda lakpa misinggasu neinaminarami.
Then indeed he spoke to the Jews, and to the worshipers in the synagogue, and to those incidentally meeting him every day in the forum.
18 Epicure amadi Stoic-ki mahei masing heiba kharagasu mahakka yetnarammi. Makhoi kharana hanglak-i. “Pang-ngangda ngangba asina haininglabasi karino?” Atoppasingna khumlak-i, “Mahakna miramgi laisinggi maramda sandokpa malli.” Paul-na Jisugi amadi Ibungona hinggatkhibagi maramda sandokpagi maramna makhoina masi haibani.
And certain ones of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers interviewed him, and some continued to say, What would this babbler wish to say? and others said, He seems to be the propagator of strange divinities: because he was preaching the gospel of Jesus, and the resurrection.
19 Maram aduna makhoina Paul-bu Areopagus hairiba wa tanapham adugi mangda puraklaga makhoina mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna sandokliba anouba tambiba adu eikhoi khangjaba yagadra?
And taking him, they led him to the Areopagus, saying; Are we able to know what is this new teaching, spoken by thee?
20 Nahakna haiba kharadi eikhoina tabada itong tongalli aduna hairibasing adu kari hairibano haiba eikhoi khangning-i.”
For you bring certain strange things to our hearing: therefore we desire to know what these things wish to be.
21 (Athens-ki mi pumnamak amadi mapham aduda leiba mireibak machasingna anou anouba wa haiba amadi taba nattana karisu toudana matam lelli.)
But all the Athenians and itinerant strangers were accustomed to devote their time to nothing else, than to tell something new, or to hear something.
22 Paul-na Areopagus-ki mipham mamangda lepkhattuna hairak-i, “Athens-ki miyam! Nakhoi asi hiram pumnamakta laining chetpa misingni haiba eina ure.
And Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said, Athenian men, I perceive that in all things you are very religious.
23 Eina nakhoigi sahar asida asum chatpada amadi nakhoina khurumba maphamsing adu eina asum yengbada khubham amada, ‘Khangdaba Tengban Mapuda’ haina iba ama eina thengnare. Nakhoina khangdana khurumliba Ibungo mahakki maramda eina nakhoida sandokpani.
For going through, and seeing your devotions, I also found an altar on which it was superscribed, To THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore I now preach unto you Him whom you are ignorantly worshiping.
24 Taibangpan amadi masida leiriba pumnamakpu sembiba Tengban Mapudi swarga amadi malemgi Mapuni, mahakti mioibagi khutna saba laisangsingda leite.
God having made the world and all things which are in it, being himself Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands;
25 Eikhoina Ibungo mahakkidamak thabak sujaraga Ibungoda piba yaba Ibungogi awatpa amatasu leite maramdi Ibungona pumnamakta thawai, nungsasor amasung pot pumnamak pibi.
neither is he worshiped by human hands, as if needing something, Himself having given life, and breath, and all things to all;
26 Ibungo mahakna mi amadagi mioiba phurup khudingbu sembiduna malemgi mapham pumnamakta makhoibu leihanbi. Makhoina leigadaba akaknaba matam amadi akaknaba maphamgi ngamkhei adu Ibungona mangjounana leppi.
and of (one) man he created every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined their predestinated times, and the boundaries of their habitation;
27 Ibungona masi toubiribasi mioibana Ibungo mahakpu thijaraknaba amadi koima majaduna Ibungo mahakpu phangjaba yanabani adum oinamak Tengban Mapudi eikhoi pumnamaktagi lapna leite.
that they should seek God, if perhaps indeed they might feel after him, and find him, though not being far from each one of you.
28 Kanagumba amana asumna haikhibagumbani, ‘Ibungo mahakki mapanna eikhoi hingli, lengli amasung palli.’ Nakhoigi seireng i-ba kharana asumna haikhibagumbani, ‘Eikhoidi Ibungo mahakki machasingni.’
For in him we live and move and have our being, as indeed certain ones of your own poets have said, For we are truly his offspring.
29 Maram aduna eikhoi Tengban Mapugi machasing oibanina Tengban Mapu asi mioibagi heisingba amadi wakhalna semba sana nattraga lupa nattraga nunggi murti amagumbani haina eikhoina khalloidabani.
Then being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that divinity is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the invention of art and the device of man.
30 Mamangeigi khangdaba matam adu Tengban Mapuna singthanabidre adubu houjikti mapham khudingmakta mi pumnamakna pukning honglaknaba Ibungona yathang pire.
Then indeed God winking at the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent:
31 Maramdi Ibungona khandokpikhraba mi adugi mapanna taibangpan pumbabu achumbana wayen-gadaba numit ama leppikhre. Ibungona mahakpu asibadagi hinggat-hanbiduna mi pumnamakta khudam utpire.”
as He has appointed a day, in which he is about to judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; giving faith to all, having raised Him from the dead.
32 Sibadagi hinggatpagi maramda Paul-na haiba adu tabada makhoi kharana mahakpu noknarammi adubu atei kharana hairak-i, “Masigi maramda eikhoina nangondagi amukka taning-i.”
And having heard the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: others said; We will hear thee concerning this even again.
33 Adudagi Paul-na mitin adudagi chatkhre.
So Paul went out from their midst.
34 Mi kharadi Paul-gi tung inba oire amadi thajare. Makhoigi marakta Areopagus-ki mioi Dionysius, Damaris koubi nupi amasung mi atoppa kharasu yaorammi.
But certain men, having adhered to him, believed; among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman Damarias by name, and others along with them.
