And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 ཏདཱ པཽལཿ སྭཱཙཱརཱནུསཱརེཎ ཏེཥཱཾ སམཱིཔཾ གཏྭཱ ཝིཤྲཱམཝཱརཏྲཡེ ཏཻཿ སཱརྡྡྷཾ དྷརྨྨཔུསྟཀཱིཡཀཐཱཡཱ ཝིཙཱརཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures:
3 ཕལཏཿ ཁྲཱིཥྚེན དུཿཁབྷོགཿ ཀརྟྟཝྱཿ ཤྨཤཱནདུཏྠཱནཉྩ ཀརྟྟཝྱཾ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ སནྣིདྷཽ ཡསྱ ཡཱིཤོཿ པྲསྟཱཝཾ ཀརོམི ས ཨཱིཤྭརེཎཱབྷིཥིཀྟཿ ས ཨེཏཱཿ ཀཐཱཿ པྲཀཱཤྱ པྲམཱཎཾ དཏྭཱ སྠིརཱིཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you.
4 ཏསྨཱཏ྄ ཏེཥཱཾ ཀཏིཔཡཛནཱ ཨནྱདེཤཱིཡཱ བཧཝོ བྷཀྟལོཀཱ བཧྱཿ པྲདྷཱནནཱཪྻྱཤྩ ཝིཤྭསྱ པཽལསཱིལཡོཿ པཤྩཱདྒཱམིནོ ཛཱཏཱཿ།
And some of them believed, and were associated to Paul and Silas; and of those that served God, and of the Gentiles a great multitude, and of noble women not a few.
5 ཀིནྟུ ཝིཤྭཱསཧཱིནཱ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱ ཨཱིརྵྱཡཱ པརིཔཱུརྞཱཿ སནྟོ ཧཊཊྶྱ ཀཏིནཡལམྤཊལོཀཱན྄ སངྒིནཿ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཛནཏཡཱ ནགརམདྷྱེ མཧཱཀལཧཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཡཱསོནོ གྲྀཧམ྄ ཨཱཀྲམྱ པྲེརིཏཱན྄ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ ལོཀནིཝཧསྱ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨཱནེཏུཾ ཙེཥྚིཏཝནྟཿ།
But the Jews, moved with envy, and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason’s house, sought to bring them out unto the people.
6 ཏེཥཱམུདྡེཤམ྄ ཨཔྲཱཔྱ ཙ ཡཱསོནཾ ཀཏིཔཡཱན྄ བྷྲཱཏྲྀཾཤྩ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ ནགརཱདྷིཔཏཱིནཱཾ ནིཀཊམཱནཱིཡ པྲོཙྩཻཿ ཀཐིཏཝནྟོ ཡེ མནུཥྱཱ ཛགདུདྭཱཊིཏཝནྟསྟེ ྅ཏྲཱཔྱུཔསྠིཏཱཿ སནྟི,
And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar, are come hither also;
7 ཨེཥ ཡཱསོན྄ ཨཱཏིཐྱཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཏཱན྄ གྲྀཧཱིཏཝཱན྄། ཡཱིཤུནཱམཀ ཨེཀོ རཱཛསྟཱིཏི ཀཐཡནྟསྟེ ཀཻསརསྱཱཛྙཱཝིརུདྡྷཾ ཀརྨྨ ཀུཪྻྭཏི།
Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
8 ཏེཥཱཾ ཀཐཱམིམཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ ལོཀནིཝཧོ ནགརཱདྷིཔཏཡཤྩ སམུདྭིགྣཱ ཨབྷཝན྄།
And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things,
9 ཏདཱ ཡཱསོནསྟདནྱེཥཱཉྩ དྷནདཎྜཾ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ ཏཱན྄ པརིཏྱཀྟཝནྟཿ།
And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
10 ཏཏཿ པརཾ བྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎོ རཛནྱཱཾ པཽལསཱིལཽ ཤཱིགྷྲཾ བིརཡཱནགརཾ པྲེཥིཏཝཱན྄ ཏཽ ཏཏྲོཔསྠཱཡ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ བྷཛནབྷཝནཾ གཏཝནྟཽ།
But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 ཏཏྲསྠཱ ལོཀཱཿ ཐིཥལནཱིཀཱིསྠལོཀེབྷྱོ མཧཱཏྨཱན ཨཱསན྄ ཡཏ ཨིཏྠཾ བྷཝཏི ན ཝེཏི ཛྙཱཏུཾ དིནེ དིནེ དྷརྨྨགྲནྠསྱཱལོཙནཱཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ སྭཻརཾ ཀཐཱམ྄ ཨགྲྀཧླན྄།
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so.
12 ཏསྨཱད྄ ཨནེཀེ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱ ཨནྱདེཤཱིཡཱནཱཾ མཱནྱཱ སྟྲིཡཿ པུརུཥཱཤྩཱནེཀེ ཝྱཤྭསན྄།
And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.
13 ཀིནྟུ བིརཡཱནགརེ པཽལེནེཤྭརཱིཡཱ ཀཐཱ པྲཙཱཪྻྱཏ ཨིཏི ཐིཥལནཱིཀཱིསྠཱ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱ ཛྙཱཏྭཱ ཏཏྶྠཱནམཔྱཱགཏྱ ལོཀཱནཱཾ ཀུཔྲཝྲྀཏྟིམ྄ ཨཛནཡན྄།
And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude.
14 ཨཏཨེཝ ཏསྨཱཏ྄ སྠཱནཱཏ྄ སམུདྲེཎ ཡཱནྟཱིཏི དརྴཡིཏྭཱ བྷྲཱཏརཿ ཀྵིཔྲཾ པཽལཾ པྲཱཧིཎྭན྄ ཀིནྟུ སཱིལཏཱིམཐིཡཽ ཏཏྲ སྠིཏཝནྟཽ།
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
15 ཏཏཿ པརཾ པཽལསྱ མཱརྒདརྴཀཱསྟམ྄ ཨཱཐཱིནཱིནགར ཨུཔསྠཱཔཡན྄ པཤྩཱད྄ ཡུཝཱཾ ཏཱུརྞམ྄ ཨེཏཏ྄ སྠཱནཾ ཨཱགམིཥྱཐཿ སཱིལཏཱིམཐིཡཽ པྲཏཱིམཱམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཾ པྲཱཔྱ ཏེ པྲཏྱཱགཏཱཿ།
And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.
16 པཽལ ཨཱཐཱིནཱིནགརེ ཏཱཝཔེཀྵྱ ཏིཥྛན྄ ཏནྣགརཾ པྲཏིམཱབྷིཿ པརིཔཱུརྞཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ སནྟཔྟཧྲྀདཡོ ྅བྷཝཏ྄།
Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.
17 ཏཏཿ ས བྷཛནབྷཝནེ ཡཱན྄ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱན྄ བྷཀྟལོཀཱཾཤྩ ཧཊྚེ ཙ ཡཱན྄ ཨཔཤྱཏ྄ ཏཻཿ སཧ པྲཏིདིནཾ ཝིཙཱརིཏཝཱན྄།
He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them that served God, and in the marketplace, every day with them that were there.
18 ཀིནྟྭིཔིཀཱུརཱིཡམཏགྲཧིཎཿ སྟོཡིཀཱིཡམཏགྲཱཧིཎཤྩ ཀིཡནྟོ ཛནཱསྟེན སཱརྡྡྷཾ ཝྱཝདནྟ། ཏཏྲ ཀེཙིད྄ ཨཀཐཡན྄ ཨེཥ ཝཱཙཱལཿ ཀིཾ ཝཀྟུམ྄ ཨིཙྪཏི? ཨཔརེ ཀེཙིད྄ ཨེཥ ཛནཿ ཀེཥཱཉྩིད྄ ཝིདེཤཱིཡདེཝཱནཱཾ པྲཙཱརཀ ཨིཏྱནུམཱིཡཏེ ཡཏཿ ས ཡཱིཤུམ྄ ཨུཏྠིཏིཉྩ པྲཙཱརཡཏ྄།
And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him; and some said: What is it, that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.
19 ཏེ ཏམ྄ ཨརེཡཔཱགནཱམ ཝིཙཱརསྠཱནམ྄ ཨཱནཱིཡ པྲཱཝོཙན྄ ཨིདཾ ཡནྣཝཱིནཾ མཏཾ ཏྭཾ པྲཱཙཱིཀཤ ཨིདཾ ཀཱིདྲྀཤཾ ཨེཏད྄ ཨསྨཱན྄ ཤྲཱཝཡ;
And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?
20 ཡཱམིམཱམ྄ ཨསམྦྷཝཀཐཱམ྄ ཨསྨཱཀཾ ཀརྞགོཙརཱིཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄ ཨསྱཱ བྷཱཝཱརྠཿ ཀ ཨིཏི ཝཡཾ ཛྙཱཏུམ྄ ཨིཙྪཱམཿ།
For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
21 ཏདཱཐཱིནཱིནིཝཱསིནསྟནྣགརཔྲཝཱསིནཤྩ ཀེཝལཾ ཀསྱཱཤྩན ནཝཱིནཀཐཱཡཱཿ ཤྲཝཎེན པྲཙཱརཎེན ཙ ཀཱལམ྄ ཨཡཱཔཡན྄།
(Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.)
22 པཽལོ྅རེཡཔཱགསྱ མདྷྱེ ཏིཥྛན྄ ཨེཏཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ པྲཙཱརིཏཝཱན྄, ཧེ ཨཱཐཱིནཱིཡལོཀཱ ཡཱུཡཾ སཪྻྭཐཱ དེཝཔཱུཛཱཡཱམ྄ ཨཱསཀྟཱ ཨིཏྱཧ པྲཏྱཀྵཾ པཤྱཱམི།
But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious.
23 ཡཏཿ པཪྻྱཊནཀཱལེ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ པཱུཛནཱིཡཱནི པཤྱན྄ ‘ཨཝིཛྙཱཏེཤྭརཱཡ’ ཨེཏལླིཔིཡུཀྟཱཾ ཡཛྙཝེདཱིམེཀཱཾ དྲྀཥྚཝཱན྄; ཨཏོ ན ཝིདིཏྭཱ ཡཾ པཱུཛཡདྷྭེ ཏསྱཻཝ ཏཏྭཾ ཡུཥྨཱན྄ པྲཏི པྲཙཱརཡཱམི།
For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God. What therefore you worship, without knowing it, that I preach to you:
24 ཛགཏོ ཛགཏྶྠཱནཱཾ སཪྻྭཝསྟཱུནཱཉྩ སྲཥྚཱ ཡ ཨཱིཤྭརཿ ས སྭརྒཔྲྀཐིཝྱོརེཀཱདྷིཔཏིཿ སན྄ ཀརནིརྨྨིཏམནྡིརེཥུ ན ནིཝསཏི;
God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 ས ཨེཝ སཪྻྭེབྷྱོ ཛཱིཝནཾ པྲཱཎཱན྄ སཪྻྭསཱམགྲཱིཤྩ པྲདདཱཏི; ཨཏཨེཝ ས ཀསྱཱཤྩིཏ྄ སཱམགྱྲཱ ཨབྷཱཝཧེཏོ རྨནུཥྱཱཎཱཾ ཧསྟཻཿ སེཝིཏོ བྷཝཏཱིཏི ན།
Neither is he served with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing; seeing it is he who giveth to all life, and breath, and all things:
26 ས བྷཱུམཎྜལེ ནིཝཱསཱརྠམ྄ ཨེཀསྨཱཏ྄ ཤོཎིཏཱཏ྄ སཪྻྭཱན྄ མནུཥྱཱན྄ སྲྀཥྚྭཱ ཏེཥཱཾ པཱུཪྻྭནིརཱུཔིཏསམཡཾ ཝསཏིསཱིམཱཉྩ ནིརཙིནོཏ྄;
And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation.
27 ཏསྨཱཏ྄ ལོཀཻཿ ཀེནཱཔི པྲཀཱརེཎ མྲྀགཡིཏྭཱ པརམེཤྭརསྱ ཏཏྭཾ པྲཱཔྟུཾ ཏསྱ གཝེཥཎཾ ཀརཎཱིཡམ྄།
That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us:
28 ཀིནྟུ སོ྅སྨཱཀཾ ཀསྨཱཙྩིདཔི དཱུརེ ཏིཥྛཏཱིཏི ནཧི, ཝཡཾ ཏེན ནིཤྭསནཔྲཤྭསནགམནཱགམནཔྲཱཎདྷཱརཎཱནི ཀུརྨྨཿ, པུནཤྩ ཡུཥྨཱཀམེཝ ཀཏིཔཡཱཿ ཀཝཡཿ ཀཐཡནྟི ‘ཏསྱ ཝཾཤཱ ཝཡཾ སྨོ ཧི’ ཨིཏི།
For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.
29 ཨཏཨེཝ ཡདི ཝཡམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ ཝཾཤཱ བྷཝཱམསྟརྷི མནུཥྱཻ ཪྻིདྱཡཱ ཀཽཤལེན ཙ ཏཀྵིཏཾ སྭརྞཾ རཱུཔྱཾ དྲྀཥད྄ ཝཻཏེཥཱམཱིཤྭརཏྭམ྄ ཨསྨཱབྷི རྣ ཛྙཱཏཝྱཾ།
Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man.
30 ཏེཥཱཾ པཱུཪྻྭཱིཡལོཀཱནཱམ྄ ཨཛྙཱནཏཱཾ པྲཏཱིཤྭརོ ཡདྱཔི ནཱཝཱདྷཏྟ ཏཐཱཔཱིདཱནཱིཾ སཪྻྭཏྲ སཪྻྭཱན྄ མནཿ པརིཝརྟྟཡིཏུམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཔཡཏི,
And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance.
31 ཡཏཿ སྭནིཡུཀྟེན པུརུཥེཎ ཡདཱ ས པྲྀཐིཝཱིསྠཱནཱཾ སཪྻྭལོཀཱནཱཾ ཝིཙཱརཾ ཀརིཥྱཏི ཏདྡིནཾ ནྱརཱུཔཡཏ྄; ཏསྱ ཤྨཤཱནོཏྠཱཔནེན ཏསྨིན྄ སཪྻྭེབྷྱཿ པྲམཱཎཾ པྲཱདཱཏ྄།
Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed; giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead.
32 ཏདཱ ཤྨཤཱནཱད྄ ཨུཏྠཱནསྱ ཀཐཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཀེཙིད྄ ཨུཔཱཧམན྄, ཀེཙིདཝདན྄ ཨེནཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ པུནརཔི ཏྭཏྟཿ ཤྲོཥྱཱམཿ།
And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
33 ཏཏཿ པཽལསྟེཥཱཾ སམཱིཔཱཏ྄ པྲསྠིཏཝཱན྄།
So Paul went out from among them.
34 ཏཐཱཔི ཀེཙིལློཀཱསྟེན སཱརྡྡྷཾ མིལིཏྭཱ ཝྱཤྭསན྄ ཏེཥཱཾ མདྷྱེ ྅རེཡཔཱགཱིཡདིཡནུསིཡོ དཱམཱརཱིནཱམཱ ཀཱཙིནྣཱརཱི ཀིཡནྟོ ནརཱཤྩཱསན྄།
But certain men adhering to him, did believe; among whom was also Dionysius, the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
