Matendu 17
1 Kwa kupitira Amfipoli na Apoloniya wagenditi mpaka Tesaloniki kweni kuweriti na numba ya Mlungu ya Wayawudi.
Pea kuo nau ʻalu ʻi ʻAmifipoli mo ʻApolonia, pea nau aʻu ki Tesalonika, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae falelotu ʻoe kakai Siu.
2 Paulu kingiriti nawomberi mnumba ya Mlungu ntambu yaiweriti shitiba shakuwi, kwa mashaka matatu ga kwoyera kalitakuziyana nawomberi kwa Malembu Mananagala.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Paula kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻene faʻa fai, pea ne malangaʻaki ʻae ngaahi tohi kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ʻe tolu,
3 Pakayoweriti na kulagiziya handa imubidi Kristu kutabika na kuzyuka kulawa kwawahowiti kawagambira, “Yesu mweni neni numubwera kwamwenga ndo Kristu.”
“ʻO fakamatala mo fakamoʻoni, naʻe taau mo Kalaisi ke mamahi, mo toetuʻu mei he pekia; pea ko Sisu eni, ʻoku ou malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ko e Kalaisi ia.”
4 Wamu wawu wajimiliti wayingira na Paulu na Sila. Viravi, walanga ngulu ya Wagiriki wawamguwiriti Mlungu pamwera na wadala wavuwa wa ntambu ya kunani, wayingiriti naomberi.
Pea naʻe tui honau niʻihi, ʻonau kau taha mo Paula mo Sailosi; pea mo e tokolahi ʻi he Kiliki kuo lotu, pea mo e kau fineʻeiki tokolahi.
5 Kumbiti Wayawudi wawona weya, wawatola wafizuli kusoku, watenda shipinga na kujega fuju kumjini koseri. Wayingira numba ya Yasoni watumbiriti kumpata amu Paulu na Sila su wawajegi paweru.
Ka ko e kakai Siu naʻe ʻikai tui, naʻa nau meheka, pea naʻa nau ʻave mo kinautolu ʻae kau siana pauʻu, pea tānaki ʻae tokolahi, ʻonau veuveuki ʻae kolo, pea feʻohofi ki he fale ʻo Sesoni, ʻo kumi ke ʻomi ʻakinaua kituʻa ki he kakai.
6 Kumbiti wawapata ndili na hangu wamkwegiti Yasoni pamwera na walongu wamonga mpaka kwa wakulu wa lushi, washowangana, “Wantu awa wawera wankupavuluga pasipanu poseri na vinu wa panu kumjini.
Pea ʻi he ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻakinaua, naʻa nau toho ʻa Sesoni mo e kāinga niʻihi ki he kau fakamaau ʻoe kolo, mo nau kalanga, Ko kinautolu kuo fulihi ʻa māmani, kuo nau haʻu foki ki heni;
7 Yasoni kawashemera ukaya kwakuwi. Woseri wankutenda shigalambuku sha lagaliru lya Kaisari pawatakula eti, kwana mfalumi yumonga yawamshema Yesu.”
Pea kuo maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻe Sesoni pea ʻoku nau fai kehe kotoa pē mo e ngaahi fono ʻa Sisa, mo nau pehē, ‘ʻOku ai ʻae tuʻi ʻe taha, ko Sisu.’
8 Kwa visoweru avi wawatuliti lyoga wakulu wa kumjini na shipinga sha wantu.
Pea naʻa nau fakamanavahēʻi ʻae kakai mo e kau fakamaau ʻoe kolo, ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
9 Yawatenda Yasoni na wayaguwi walaviyi zamana, shakapanu wawaleka wagendi zawu.
Pea ʻi heʻenau maʻu ʻae tuku lea totongi ʻa Sesoni mo hono toe ʻoe kāinga, naʻa nau tukuange ʻakinautolu.
10 Pashiru, walongu walii wawahimiziya Paulu na Sila wagendi Bereya. Katepu hera pawayingiriti aku, wagenditi mnumba ya Mlungu ya Wayawudi.
Pea naʻe tukuange leva ʻe he kāinga ʻa Paula mo Sailosi ke na ō poʻuli ki Pelea: pea kuo na aʻu ki ai, pea na hū ki he falelotu ʻoe kakai Siu.
11 Wantu wa aku waweriti wapikinira nentu kuliku wantu walii wa Tesaloniki. Wauwankiti ujumbi ulii kwa lwamata lukulu, wawera wankugalolalola Malembu Mananagala kila lishaka, su kulola handa galii gawatakuliti Paulu na Sila gaweriti nakaka.
Pea naʻe loto lelei ʻakinautolu ni ʻiate kinautolu ʻi Tesalonika, he naʻa nau maʻu ʻae folofola mo e loto fiefia, ʻonau kumi ʻi he ngaahi tohi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ki hono moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.
12 Wavuwa wawu wajimiriti na viraa wadala wa Shigiriki wa ntambu ya kunani na wapalu viraa.
Ko ia naʻe tui ai ʻae tokolahi ʻiate kinautolu; pea mo e kau fineʻeiki ʻi he kakai Kiliki, pea mo e kau tangata tokolahi.
13 Kumbiti, Wayawudi wa Tesaloniki pawavimaniti handa Paulu kaweriti kankubwera shisoweru sha Mlungu aku Bereya, wagenditi aku. Wanja kutenda fuju na kusonguziya shipinga sha wantu.
Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi Tesalonika kuo malangaʻaki ʻe Paula ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi Pelea, naʻa nau ʻalu ki ai, ʻo fakamaveuveuʻi ʻae kakai.
14 Walongu walii wawapelekiti Paulu kanongola kagendi kumbwani kumbiti Sila na Timotewu wasigaliti Beroya.
Pea tukuange leva ʻe he kāinga ʻa Paula ke hala tahi ia ʻo ʻalu: ka naʻe nofo pe ʻi ai ʻa Sailosi mo Timote.
15 Walongu walii wawapelekiti Paulu wagenditi pamwera nayomberi mpaka Aseni. Shakapanu, wawuya pamuhera na malagaliru kulawa kwa Paulu handa Sila na Timotewu wamfati kanongola ntambu yaiwezekana.
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fakahinohino ʻa Paula, naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki ʻAtenisi: pea kuo nau maʻu ʻae fekau kia Sailosi mo Timote, ke na haʻu vave kiate ia, naʻa nau ʻalu.
16 Paulu pakaweriti kankuwahepa Sila na Timotewu aku Aseni, moyu gwakuwi gukalala nentu pakawoniti ntambu lushi alu paluweriti lumema shinyagu sha wamlungu.
Pea naʻe kei tatali ʻa Paula kiate kinaua ʻi ʻAtenisi, pea ngaueue hono laumālie ʻiate ia, ʻi heʻene mamata kuo pito ʻae kolo ʻi he tamapua.
17 Kalitakuziana na Wayawudi na wantu wamonga yawamluwa Mlungu munumba ya Mlungu, na kila lishaka kaweriti na matakuzianu mahali paweru pamwera na woseri walii wawalawiriti.
Pea naʻe kikihi ia ʻi he falelotu mo e kakai Siu, pea mo e kakai kuo lotu, pea mo kinautolu naʻa nau fetaulaki mo ia ʻi he potu fakatau ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
18 Wamonga wawafatiti falisafa ya Epikuru na Staiku walikakatala na yomberi. Wamonga watakuliti, “Kafira kutakula shishi ayu mtuwa visoweru?” Toziya Paulu kaweriti kankubwera kuusu Yesu na kuusu uzyuka, wamonga watakuliti, “lwonikana handa kankubwera kuusu milungu wa shihenja.”
Pea naʻe toki fetaulaki mo ia ʻae kau fiepoto [ʻoe faʻahinga ]ʻo ʻEpikulio, mo Sitoiko. Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko e hā ʻoku lau ʻe he palau na?” Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “ʻOku matamata fakahā ʻotua foʻou ia:” koeʻuhi naʻa ne malangaʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻa Sisu, mo e toetuʻu.
19 Hangu wamtoliti Paulu, wamjegiti Aleopagu, Watakula, “Tufira kuvimana shitwatira ashi shasyayi shaguweriti gwanguyowelera.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ia, ʻo ʻave ki he ʻAleopeiko, mo nau pehē, “ʻOku mau fie ʻilo pē ko e hā ʻae akonaki foʻou ni, ʻoku ke leaʻaki.
20 Vintu vimonga tuvipikaniriti kwa makutu getu viwonikana weri viloja kwatwenga. Tufira kuvimana vitwatira avi nvina mana gaa.”
He ʻoku ke ʻomi meʻa foʻou ki homau telinga: ko ia ʻoku mau fie ʻilo ai hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.”
21 Wantu wa Aseni na wenikaya wamonga wa aku waweriti wankutumiya shipindi shawu shoseri kuligambiziyana na kupikinira visoweru vyasyayi.
(He ko e kakai ʻAtenisi kotoa pē, mo e ʻāunofo ʻi ai, naʻa nau mātuʻaki nofo pe ke lau, mo fakafanongo ki he meʻa foʻou.)
22 Su, Paulu kagolokiti kuulongolu kumdamu kwa Aleopagu, katakula, “Wenikaya wa Aseni! Mona kuwera mwenga, kwa vyoseri, ndo wantu wa dini nentu.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Paula ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ʻAleopeiko, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAkimoutolu ʻi ʻAtenisi, ʻoku ou vakai ʻoku mou faʻa fai ʻo lahi ʻae lotu.
23 Mana panweriti nangupita aku na aku panola vinyagu vyenu vya kuguwira moniti pahala pa kutambikira pamu palembitwi ‘Kwa Mlungu yakamanika ndiri!’ Su, ayu yamjimira pota kuvimana, ndomweni yanumubwera kwamwenga.
Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku ʻalu, ʻoku ou mamata ki he meʻa ʻoku mou lotu ki ai, pea ne u ʻilo ʻae ʻesifeilaulau, ʻoku tuʻu ai ʻae tohi ni, ‘KI HE ʻOTUA ʻOKU ʻIKAI ʻILOA.’ Pea ko ia ʻoku mou lotu taʻeʻilo ki ai, ko ia ia ʻoku ou fakahā kiate kimoutolu.
24 Mlungu yakanyawiti pasipanu na vyoseri yaviweraamu, ndo Mtuwa gwa kumpindi na isi, yomberi kalivaga ndiri mnumba nkulu za kuluwa Mlungu yazinyawitwi na wantu.
Ko e ʻOtua ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻa māmani mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻoku ʻikai nofo ia ʻi he ngaahi fale kuo ngaohi ʻe he nima, he ko e ʻEiki ia ʻoe langi mo māmani;
25 Ama katendiritwi ndiri kwa mawoku ga wantu kuwera kafira shoseri, toziya mweni ndo yakawapanana woseri ukomu, yakawatenda wantu wapumuli na kuwapanana kila shintu.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai tauhi ʻaki ia ʻae nima ʻoe tangata, ʻo hangē ʻoku masiva ia ʻi ha meʻa, he ʻoku foaki ʻe ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻae moʻui, mo e mānava, mo e meʻa kotoa pē;
26 Kulawirana na muntu yumu kanyawiti maisi goseri na kugatenda galikali pasipanu poseri. Kaamuiti na kupanga pamberi nakamu ndii na koshi maisi aga megalikali.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻi he toto pe taha ʻae ngaahi kakai kotoa pē ke nofo ʻi he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē, pea kuo tomuʻa tukupau ʻae ngaahi kuonga, mo e ngataʻanga ʻo honau nofoʻanga;
27 Katenditi hangu, su maisi aga gapati kumfata, na handa vila kwa kupapasiya papaya, gapati kumfikira. Ata hangu kumbiti, Mlungu kapatali ndiri na kila yumu gwenu.
Ke nau kumi ki he ʻEiki, ʻo tautaufā ki ai, heiʻilo pe te nau maʻu ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai mamaʻo ia mo kitautolu taki taha kotoa pē.
28 Handa yakatakuliti muntu yumu, ‘Mngati mwakuwi yomberi twenga tulikala, twankugenda na twankupumula!’ Ndo gambira washaili wenu wamonga ntambu yawatakuliti, ‘Twenga twawana wakuwi.’
‘He ʻoku tau moʻui, mo ngaueue, mo nofo pē, ʻiate ia;’ ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae niʻihi ʻi hoʻomou kau tohi hiva, ‘He ko hono hako foki ʻakitautolu.’
29 Paiwera twenga twawana wa Mlungu, tufiruwa ndiri kumuhola Mlungu gambira zahabu ama mpiya ama ata libuwi lyalisongolitwi na wantu kwa kutulwa mng'ereng'etu.
Pea kapau ko e hako ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakitautolu, ʻoku ʻikai lelei ʻetau mahalo ʻoku tatau ʻae ʻOtua mo e koula, pe ko e siliva, pe ko e maka, kuo tongitongi ʻaki ʻae poto mo e filioʻi ʻoe tangata.
30 Mlungu katenda gambira kawona ndiri vipindi vilii wantu pawaweriti wangalimahala. Kumbiti vinu, kahimiziya wantu woseri kila pahali waleki vidoda vyawatenda.
Pea naʻe ʻikai fie ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi kuonga ʻoe vale ni, ka ʻoku ne fekau eni ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ke nau fakatomala:
31 Toziya katula lishaka lyeni hakapatozi pasipanu kwa kutenda galii yagafiriziya Mlungu kwajili ya muntu yumu yakamsyaguliti. Mlungu kawalanguziya woseri shitwatira ashi kwa kumzyukisiya muntu ayu kulawa kwawahowiti!”
Koeʻuhi kuo ne kotofa ʻae ʻaho, te ne fakamaau māʻoniʻoni ai ʻa māmani, ʻi he tangata kuo ne fakanofo; pea kuo ne fakapapau ia ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻI heʻene fokotuʻu ia mei he pekia.”
32 Pawampikiniriti Paulu kankutakula kuusu vitwatira vya kuzyuka kwa wahowiti, wamonga wawu waguwiti kwa kusekelera, kumbiti wamonga walongiti, “Tufira kupikinira kayi kuusu shitwatira ashi”
Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he toetuʻu ʻae pekia, naʻe manuki ʻae niʻihi: kae pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Te mau toe fanongo ʻiate koe ki he meʻa ni.”
33 Hangu, Paulu kawalekiti, kalawiti pamdamu.
Pea ʻalu ai ʻa Paula ʻiate kinautolu.
34 Kumbiti wantu wavuwa ndiri wagenditi pamuhera na yomberi, wawera wajimira. Muwamu mwawu waweriti Dionisiwu gwa Aleopagu na mdala yumu yawamshema Damari na wamonga wawu.
Ka naʻe pikitai ʻae kau tangata niʻihi kiate ia, pea nau tui: pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Taionisio ʻoe ʻAleopeiko, pea ko e fefine naʻe hingoa ko Temalisi, pea mo e niʻihi foki mo kinautolu.
