Pakhonchatpa 17
1 Paul amadi Silas-na Amphipolis amadi Apollonia phaoduna chatlaga Thessalonica-da lakle, mapham aduda synagogue ama leirammi.
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2 Mahakki hounabi matung inna Paul-na synagogue aduda chatlammi. Potthaba numit ahumlak mapham aduda mahakna mising aduga Mapugi puyadagi neinaduna
Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with 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.”
explaining and demonstrating that the Messiah had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Messiah."
4 Jihudisinggi maraktagi khara aduga Tengban Mapubu kina chatchaba Greek-ki mi mayam amaga athoiba nupi mayam amagana thajaduna Paul amadi Silas-ka pulle.
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 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, 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 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,
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 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. These all act 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.
The crowd and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
9 Adudagi angambasing aduna Jason amasung ateising adu jamin pihallaga thadoklammi.
When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10 Ahing hek oibaga thajabasingna Paul amadi Silas-pu Berea-da tharammi. Makhoina mapham aduda thungbaga synagogue-ta chatlammi.
The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
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.
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 Greek-ki masak naiba nupi kaya ama amadi Greek-ki nupa kaya amasu yaona makhoi mayam amana thajarammi.
Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
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 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 Thajabasing aduna Paul-bu khudakta Ipak mapan tanna thakhre adubu Silas amadi Timothy-di Berea-da leihourammi.
Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed 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 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 Paul-na Athens-ta Silas amadi Timothy ngairingeida, mahakna sahar adu lai murtisingna thanna leiba adu ubada mahak thamoi yamna soklammi.
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
17 Maram aduna mahakna synagogue-ta Jihudisingga amasung Tengban Mapubu kina chatchaba Jihudi nattabasingga khanna neinarammi aduga numit khudinggi keithelda lakpa misinggasu neinaminarami.
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 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.
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 Maram aduna makhoina Paul-bu Areopagus hairiba wa tanapham adugi mangda puraklaga makhoina mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna sandokliba anouba tambiba adu eikhoi khangjaba yagadra?
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 Nahakna haiba kharadi eikhoina tabada itong tongalli aduna hairibasing adu kari hairibano haiba eikhoi khangning-i.”
For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean."
21 (Athens-ki mi pumnamak amadi mapham aduda leiba mireibak machasingna anou anouba wa haiba amadi taba nattana karisu toudana matam lelli.)
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 Paul-na Areopagus-ki mipham mamangda lepkhattuna hairak-i, “Athens-ki miyam! Nakhoi asi hiram pumnamakta laining chetpa misingni haiba eina ure.
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 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 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 Taibangpan amadi masida leiriba pumnamakpu sembiba Tengban Mapudi swarga amadi malemgi Mapuni, mahakti mioibagi khutna saba laisangsingda leite.
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 Eikhoina Ibungo mahakkidamak thabak sujaraga Ibungoda piba yaba Ibungogi awatpa amatasu leite maramdi Ibungona pumnamakta thawai, nungsasor amasung pot pumnamak pibi.
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 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.
He made from one blood every nation of mankind to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,
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 they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
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 some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also 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.
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 Mamangeigi khangdaba matam adu Tengban Mapuna singthanabidre adubu houjikti mapham khudingmakta mi pumnamakna pukning honglaknaba Ibungona yathang pire.
The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should 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.”
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 Sibadagi hinggatpagi maramda Paul-na haiba adu tabada makhoi kharana mahakpu noknarammi adubu atei kharana hairak-i, “Masigi maramda eikhoina nangondagi amukka taning-i.”
Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We want to hear you again concerning this."
33 Adudagi Paul-na mitin adudagi chatkhre.
Thus Paul went out from among them.
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 some people joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
