4 Vangi pagati yavi vakasadika na kuvya pamonga na Pauli na Sila. Mewawa Vagiliki vamahele vevakumsadika Chapanga pamonga na vadala vevitopeswa vakavya pamonga.
And some of them beleved and came and companyed with Paul and Sylas: also of the honourable Grekes a greate multitude and of the chefe wemen not a feawe.
5 Nambu Vayawudi vakavya na wihu, hati vakavakoka valauni va pabomani na kukita msambi na kuhenga chitututu muji woha. Vakaizangila nyumba ya Yasoni vahuvalilayi vihotola kuvapata Pauli na Sila muni vavaleta pavandu.
But the Iewes which beleved not havynge indignacio toke vnto the evyll men which were vagabondes and gadered a company and set all the cite on a roore and made asaute vnto the housse of Iason and sought to bringe the out to the people.
6 Ndava vavapatili lepi, ndi vakamukwega Yasoni na vamsadika vangi mbaka pavakulu va muji, vakajova kwa lwami luvaha, “Vandu ava ndi vevikita chitututu pamulima woha na hinu vahikili kwitu.
But when they founde them not they drue Iason and certayne brethren vnto the heedes of the cite cryinge: these that trouble the worlde are come hydder also
7 Yasoni avagongolili kunyumba yaki. Voha vihenga chimumbele na malagizu ga nkosi wa ku Loma, vijova kuvya avi nkosi yungi liina laki Yesu.”

8 Ndava ya malovi ago vakavamesa ligoga vandu vamahele na vachilongosi va muji.
And they troubled the people and the officers of the cite when they hearde these thinges.
9 Hinu pevamali kumlipisa mashonga Yasoni na vayaki kangi vakavaleka vahamba.
And when they were sufficiently answered of Iason and of the other they let the goo.
10 Kanyata kilu yila, vamsadika vala vakavatuma Pauli na Sila vahamba ku Belea. Navene pavahikili kwenuko vakayingila munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi.
And the brethren immediatly sent awaye Paul and Sylas by nyght vnto Berrea. Which when they were come thyther they entred into ye synagoge of the Iewes.
11 Vayawudi va ku Belea vavi vayuwanaji neju kuliku Vayawudi va ku Tesalonike, valipokili Lilovi la Chapanga na kugalingulila bwina Mayandiku Gamsopi muni vamanya ngati Pauli na Sila ijova malovi ga chakaka.
These were the noblest of byrthe amonge the of Thessalonia which receaved the worde wt all diligence of mynde and searched ye scriptures dayly whether those thinges were even so.
12 Vandu vamahele pagati yavi vasadiki, vavi na vadala va Chigiliki vevitopeswa mewa na vagosi.
And many of the beleved: also of worshipfull weme which were Grekes and of men not a feawe.
13 Nambu Vayawudi wa ku Tesalonike pevamanyili kuvya Pauli akokosayi Lilovi la Chapanga Belea, vakahamba kwenuko na kutumbula chitututu na kuvakokeha vandu vamahele.
When the Iewes of Thessalonia had knowledge that ye worde of God was preached of Paul at Berrea they came there and moved the people.
14 Vamsadika vala vakamhindikila kanyata Pauli ahamba kumbwani, nambu Sila na Timoti vasigalili balapala.
And then by and by ye brethre sent awaye Paul to goo as it were to ye see: but Sylas and Timotheus abode there still.
15 Vandu vala vakamhindikila Pauli mbaka Atene. Kangi vakawuya na kuni valagaziwi na Pauli kuvya, Sila na Timoti vamlanda kanyata.
And they that gyded Paul brought him vnto Attens and receaved a comaundment vnto Sylas and Timotheus for to come to him at once and came their waye.
16 Pauli peavalindilayi Sila na Timoti ku Atene kula, akaviniswa neju mumtima waki ndava auwene muji wula umemili vimong'omong'o vya uchapanga.
Whyll Paul wayted for them at Attens his sprete was moved in him to se the cite geven to worshippinge of ymages.
17 Ajovisini na Vayawudi na vandu vangi vevakumsadika Chapanga, munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi, ndi kila ligono ajovesana na vandu vevahumila pandu pakugulisila vindu.
Then he disputed in the synagoge wt the Iewes and with the devout persones and in the market dayly with the that came vnto him.
18 Vandu vevalanda mawuliwu ga Epikulo na Stoiki vakotini nayu. Ndi vangi vakajova, “Igana kujova kyani muyimu uyu?” Hinu vangi vakajova, “Ikokosela vachapanga vachiyehe.” Ndava Pauli avakokosela malovi ga kumvala Yesu na kuyuka,
Certayne philosophers of ye Epicures and of ye stoyckes disputed with him. And some ther were which sayde: what will this babler saye. Other sayd: he semeth to be a tydynges bringer of newe devyls because he preached vnto them Iesus and the resurreccion.
19 Kangi vakamgongolela Pauli na ahamba palongolo ya libanji lelikemelewa Aleopago, vakajova, “Tigana utimanyisa mawuliwu aga gamupya geukugajova.
And they toke him and brought him into Marsestrete sayinge: maye we not knowe what this newe doctrine wher of thou speakest is?
20 Ndava muni ukutijovela mambu ga chiyehe mumakutu gitu. Tigana kumanya maana ya mambu ago.”
For thou bringest straunge tydynges to oure eares. We wolde knowe therfore what these thinges meane.
21 Vandu va ku Atene pamonga na vayehe va kwenuko lukumbi lwavi lwoha vadandaulilana na kuyuwanila mambu gamupya.
For all the Attenians and straungers which were there gave the selves to nothinge els but ether to tell or to heare newe tydynges.
22 Pauli akayima pa libanji la Aleopago, akajova, “Vandu va ku Atene! Nikuvalola nyenye kuvya vandu mwemukumuyupa Chapanga.
Paul stode in the myddes of Marse strete and sayde: ye men of Attens I perceave that in all thinges ye are to supersticious.
23 Ndava panapitayi kuni na kula na kulola mambu ga kuyupa kwinu, nayiwene lusanja lwa luteta lweluyandikwi, ‘Kwa Chapanga Angamanyikana.’ Hinu nene nikuvakokosela malovi gaki mwenuyo mwemukumuyupa changali kumanya.
For as I passed by and behelde the maner how ye worship youre goddes I founde an aultre wher in was written: vnto ye vnknowen god. Whom ye then ignoratly worship him shewe I vnto you.
24 Chapanga mweawumbili mulima pamonga vindu vyoha yvevivi mugati yaki, ndi Bambu wa kunani na pamulima, mwene nakutama Nyumba za Chapanga zezijengiwi na mawoko ga vandu.
God that made the worlde and all that are in it seynge that he is Lorde of heven and erth he dwelleth not in temples made with hondes
25 Mwene igana lepi kuhengewa na vandu, ngati kuvya igana utangatila wowoha wula, ndava muni mwene ndi mweakuvapela vandu wumi, mweakuvahotosa kukeka na kuvapela kila chindu.
nether is worshipped with mennes hondes as though he neded of eny thinge seinge he him selfe geveth lyfe and breeth to all men every where
26 Kuhuma kwa mundu mmonga, mwene awumbili vandu va milima yoha muni vatama pamulima woha, avapangili lusenje na mibaka ya pandu pakutama.
and hath made of one bloud all nacions of men for to dwell on all the face of the erthe and hath assigned before how longe tyme and also the endes of their inhabitacion
27 Chapanga aganili vandu vamulanda na hati cha kupapasa, vahotola kumhikila. Nambu mwene avi lepi patali na kila mmonga witu.
that they shuld seke God yf they myght fele and fynde him though he be not farre from every one of vs.
28 Ngati cheajovili mundu mmonga kuvya, ‘mugati mwaki tete titama na kugenda na tivili!’ Ngati vayimbaji vangi chavijova, ‘Tete ndi vana vaki.’
For in him we lyve move and have oure beynge as certayne of youre awne Poetes sayde. For we are also his generacion.
29 Muni tete tavana vaki Chapanga, nakuganikiwa kumhololela mwene kuvya avi ngati zahabu amala mashonga amala liganga lelihongoliwi kwa luhala na vandu.
For as moche then as we are the generacion of God we ought not to thynke that the godhed is lyke vnto golde silver or stone graven by crafte and ymaginacion of man.
30 Chapanga akitili ngati ilola lepi lusenje lula vandu pavahimwiki. Nambu hinu, ihamula vandu voha kila pandu vamuwuyila mwene.
And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not: but now he byddeth all men every where repent
31 Ndava amali kuhagula ligono leihamula mulima pangali kumganisila yoyoha munjila ya mundu mmonga mweamhagwili. Chapanga avalangisi voha lijambu lenilo kwa kumyukisa mundu mwenuyo kwevafwili.”
because he hath apoynted a daye in the which he will iudge the worlde acordynge to ryghtewesses by that man whom he hath apoynted and hath offered faith to all men after that he had raysed him from deeth.
32 Pavamuyuwini Pauli ijova lijambu la kuyuka kuhuma kwa vafwili, vangi vakamuheka nambu vangi vakajova, “Tigana kuyuwana kavili lijambu lenili.”
When they hearde of ye resurreccion from deeth some mocked and other sayde: we will heare the agayne of this matter.
33 Na Pauli akavaleka akahuma mu libanji.
So Paul departed from amonge them.
34 Nambu vandu nunuyu vakawungana nayu, vakavya vamsadika. Pagati yavi avi Dionisi wa ku Aleopago na mdala mmonga liina laki Damali, pamonga na vandu vangi.
Howbeit certayne men clave vnto Paul and beleved amonge the which was Dionysius a senatour and a woman named Damaris and other with them.
