Kwa kupitia Amfipoli na Apolonia, walisafiri mpaka Thesalonika ambako kulikuwa na sunagogi la Wayahudi.

Paulo alijiunga nao kama ilivyokuwa desturi yake akajadiliana nao Sabato tatu mfululizo, akatumia Maandiko Matakatifu.

Aliyaeleza na kuonyesha kwamba ilimbidi Kristo kuteswa na kufufuka kutoka wafu. Akawaambia, “Yesu ambaye mimi namhubiri kwenu ndiye Kristo.”
4 Jihudisinggi maraktagi khara aduga Tengban Mapubu kina chatchaba Greek-ki mi mayam amaga athoiba nupi mayam amagana thajaduna Paul amadi Silas-ka pulle.
Baadhi yao walikubali wakajiunga na Paulo na Sila. Kadhalika, idadi kubwa ya Wagiriki waliomcha Mungu pamoja na wanawake wengi wa tabaka la juu, walijiunga nao.

Lakini Wayahudi wakaona wivu; wakawakodi wafidhuli sokoni, wakafanya kikundi na kuzusha fujo mjini kote. Wakaivamia nyumba ya Yasoni wakitumaini kuwapata humo Paulo na Sila ili wawalete hadharani.
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,
Lakini hawakuwapata na hivyo walimburuta Yasoni pamoja na ndugu wengine mpaka kwa wakuu wa mji, wakapiga kelele: “Watu hawa wamekuwa wakivuruga dunia yote na sasa wako hapa mjini.
7 aduga Jason-na makhoibu mahakki yumda taramna oktuna thamle. Jisu kouba atoppa ningthou ama lei haiduna makhoi pumnamakna Caesar-gi wayel yathangsing thugaire.”
Yasoni amewakaribisha nyumbani kwake. Wote wanafanya kinyume cha amri ya Kaisari wakisema eti Kuna mfalme mwingine aitwaye Yesu.”
8 Waheising asi tabada miyam amadi sahar adugi angambasing adu irang houhalle.
Kwa maneno hayo waliwatia wasiwasi wakuu wa mji na kundi la watu.
9 Adudagi angambasing aduna Jason amasung ateising adu jamin pihallaga thadoklammi.
Wakawafanya Yasoni na wenzake watoe dhamana, kisha wakawaacha waende zao.
10 Ahing hek oibaga thajabasingna Paul amadi Silas-pu Berea-da tharammi. Makhoina mapham aduda thungbaga synagogue-ta chatlammi.
Usiku, wale ndugu waliwahimiza Paulo na Sila waende Berea. Mara tu walipofika huko, walikwenda katika sunagogi la Wayahudi.

Watu wa huko walikuwa wasikivu zaidi kuliko wale wa Thesalonika. Waliupokea ule ujumbe kwa hamu kubwa, wakawa wanayachunguza Maandiko Matakatifu kila siku, ili kuona kama yale waliyosema Paulo na Sila yalikuwa kweli.
12 Greek-ki masak naiba nupi kaya ama amadi Greek-ki nupa kaya amasu yaona makhoi mayam amana thajarammi.
Wengi wao waliamini na pia wanawake wa Kigiriki wa tabaka la juu na wanaume pia.
13 Adubu Paul-na Berea-dasu Tengban Mapugi wa sandokle haiba Thessalonica-da leiba Jihudisingna tabada makhoina mapham aduda laktuna miyambu thoujinduna irang houhallammi.
Lakini, Wayahudi wa Thesalonika walipogundua kwamba Paulo alikuwa anahubiri neno la Mungu huko Berea, walikwenda huko, wakaanza kufanya fujo na kuchochea makundi ya watu.
14 Thajabasing aduna Paul-bu khudakta Ipak mapan tanna thakhre adubu Silas amadi Timothy-di Berea-da leihourammi.
Wale ndugu wakamsindikiza haraka aende pwani lakini Sila na Timotheo walibaki Berea.

Wale ndugu waliomsindikiza Paulo walikwenda pamoja naye mpaka Athene. Kisha, wakarudi pamoja na maagizo kutoka kwa Paulo kwamba Sila na Timotheo wamfuate upesi iwezekanavyo.
16 Paul-na Athens-ta Silas amadi Timothy ngairingeida, mahakna sahar adu lai murtisingna thanna leiba adu ubada mahak thamoi yamna soklammi.
Paulo alipokuwa anawasubiri Sila na Timotheo huko Athene, moyo wake ulighadhibika sana alipoona jinsi mji huo ulivyokuwa umejaa sanamu za miungu.
17 Maram aduna mahakna synagogue-ta Jihudisingga amasung Tengban Mapubu kina chatchaba Jihudi nattabasingga khanna neinarammi aduga numit khudinggi keithelda lakpa misinggasu neinaminarami.
Alijadiliana na Wayahudi na watu wengine waliomcha Mungu katika sunagogi; na kila siku alikuwa na majadiliano sokoni pamoja na wowote wale waliojitokeza.
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.
Wengine waliofuata falsafa ya Epikuro na Stoiki walibishana naye. Wengine walisema, “Anataka kusema nini huyu bwanamaneno?” Kwa kuwa Paulo alikuwa anahubiri juu ya Yesu na juu ya ufufuo, wengine walisema, “Inaonekana kama anahubiri juu ya miungu ya kigeni.”
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?
Hivyo walimchukua Paulo, wakampeleka Areopago, wakasema, “Tunataka kujua jambo hili jipya ulilokuwa unazungumzia.
20 Nahakna haiba kharadi eikhoina tabada itong tongalli aduna hairibasing adu kari hairibano haiba eikhoi khangning-i.”
Vitu vingine tulivyosikia kwa masikio yetu vinaonekana kuwa viroja kwetu. Tungependa kujua mambo haya yana maana gani.”
21 (Athens-ki mi pumnamak amadi mapham aduda leiba mireibak machasingna anou anouba wa haiba amadi taba nattana karisu toudana matam lelli.)
Wananchi wa Athene na wakazi wengine wa huko walikuwa wanatumia wakati wao wote kuhadithiana na kusikiliza habari mpyampya.
22 Paul-na Areopagus-ki mipham mamangda lepkhattuna hairak-i, “Athens-ki miyam! Nakhoi asi hiram pumnamakta laining chetpa misingni haiba eina ure.
Basi, Paulo alisimama mbele ya baraza la Areopago, akasema, “Wananchi wa Athene! Ninaona kwamba ninyi, kwa vyovyote, ni watu wa dini sana.
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.
Sababu yenyewe ni kwamba katika pitapita yangu niliangalia sanamu zenu za ibada nikakuta madhabahu moja ambayo imeandikwa: Kwa ajili ya Mungu yule Asiyejulikana. Basi, huyo mnayemwabudu bila kujua, ndiye ninayemhubiri kwenu.
24 Taibangpan amadi masida leiriba pumnamakpu sembiba Tengban Mapudi swarga amadi malemgi Mapuni, mahakti mioibagi khutna saba laisangsingda leite.
Mungu, aliyeumba ulimwengu na vyote vilivyomo, ni Bwana wa mbingu na nchi; yeye hakai katika hekalu zilizojengwa na watu.
25 Eikhoina Ibungo mahakkidamak thabak sujaraga Ibungoda piba yaba Ibungogi awatpa amatasu leite maramdi Ibungona pumnamakta thawai, nungsasor amasung pot pumnamak pibi.
Wala hatumikiwi kwa mikono ya watu kana kwamba anahitaji chochote kile, kwa maana yeye mwenyewe ndiye anayewapa watu uhai, anawawezesha kupumua na anawapa kila kitu.
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.
Kutokana na mtu mmoja aliumba mataifa yote na kuyawezesha kuishi duniani kote. Aliamua na kupanga kabla kabisa lini na wapi mataifa hayo yangeishi.
27 Ibungona masi toubiribasi mioibana Ibungo mahakpu thijaraknaba amadi koima majaduna Ibungo mahakpu phangjaba yanabani adum oinamak Tengban Mapudi eikhoi pumnamaktagi lapna leite.
Alifanya hivyo, ili mataifa hayo yapate kumfuata, na kama vile kwa kupapasapapasa, yapate kumfikia. Hata hivyo lakini, Mungu hayuko mbali na kila mmoja wetu.
28 Kanagumba amana asumna haikhibagumbani, ‘Ibungo mahakki mapanna eikhoi hingli, lengli amasung palli.’ Nakhoigi seireng i-ba kharana asumna haikhibagumbani, ‘Eikhoidi Ibungo mahakki machasingni.’
Kama alivyosema mtu mmoja: Ndani yake yeye sisi tunaishi, tunajimudu, na tuko! Ni kama washairi wenu wengine walivyosema: Sisi ni watoto wake.
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.
Ikiwa basi, sisi ni watoto wa Mungu, haifai kumfikiria Mungu kuwa kama dhahabu, fedha au hata jiwe lililochongwa na kutiwa nakshi na binadamu.
30 Mamangeigi khangdaba matam adu Tengban Mapuna singthanabidre adubu houjikti mapham khudingmakta mi pumnamakna pukning honglaknaba Ibungona yathang pire.
Mungu alifanya kama kwamba haoni nyakati zile watu walipokuwa wajinga. Lakini sasa, anaamuru watu wote kila mahali watubu.
31 Maramdi Ibungona khandokpikhraba mi adugi mapanna taibangpan pumbabu achumbana wayen-gadaba numit ama leppikhre. Ibungona mahakpu asibadagi hinggat-hanbiduna mi pumnamakta khudam utpire.”
Kwa maana amekwisha weka siku ambayo atauhukumu ulimwengu kwa haki kwa njia ya mtu mmoja aliyemteua. Mungu amewathibitishia wote jambo hili kwa kumfufua mtu huyo kutoka wafu!”
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.”
Walipomsikia Paulo anasema juu ya jambo la kufufuka kwa wafu, wengine wao waliangua kicheko; lakini wengine walisema, “Tunataka kukusikia tena juu ya jambo hili!”
33 Adudagi Paul-na mitin adudagi chatkhre.
Hivyo, Paulo aliwaacha, akatoka barazani.
34 Mi kharadi Paul-gi tung inba oire amadi thajare. Makhoigi marakta Areopagus-ki mioi Dionysius, Damaris koubi nupi amasung mi atoppa kharasu yaorammi.
Lakini watu kadhaa waliandamana naye, wakawa waumini. Miongoni mwao walikuwa Dionisio wa Areopago, mwanamke mmoja aitwaye Damari na wengineo.
