Kuro no mu mpanin no maa Yason ne anuanom no tuaa sika bi de dii wɔn agyinamu maa wɔgyaa wɔn.
10 Kuchangosviba, hama dzakaendesa Pauro naSirasi kuBheria. Vakati vasvika ikoko, vakapinda musinagoge ravaJudha.
Adeɛ saeɛ ara pɛ, anuanom yi gyaa Paulo ne Silas ɛkwan ma wɔkɔɔ Beroia. Wɔduruiɛ no, wɔkɔɔ Yudafoɔ hyiadan mu.
11 Zvino vaBheria vakanga vane tsika dzakanaka kupfuura vaTesaronika, nokuti vakagamuchira shoko nemwoyo inodisisa uye vachinzvera Magwaro zuva rimwe nerimwe kuti vaone kana zvairehwa naPauro zvaiva izvo.
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyɛ akyinnyegyefoɔ te sɛ Tesalonikafoɔ no. Wɔde ahosɛpɛ gyee asɛm no diiɛ a daa na wɔsua Atwerɛsɛm no pɛɛ sɛ wɔhunu sɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ a Paulo kyerɛkyerɛ no yɛ nokorɛ anaa.

Nnipa no mu bebree a Helafoɔ mmaa atitire ne mmarima ka ho no gyee nkyerɛkyerɛ no diiɛ.
13 VaJudha vokuTesaronika vakati vanzwa kuti Pauro akanga achiparidza shoko raMwari paBheria, vakaendazve ikoko, vakakurudzira uye vakakuchidzira bope pakati pavanhu vazhinji.
Ɛberɛ a Yudafoɔ a wɔwɔ Tesalonika no tee sɛ Paulo akɔka Onyankopɔn asɛm no wɔ Beroia no, wɔkɔɔ hɔ nso kɔhwanyanee ɛhɔfoɔ no nso.
14 Ipapo hama dzakaendesa Pauro kugungwa, asi Sirasi naTimoti vakasara paBheria.
Enti, ntɛm ara, anuanom no gyaa Paulo ɛkwan sɛ ɔnkɔ mpoano, nanso Silas ne Timoteo de, wɔtenaa Beroia.
15 Varume vakaperekedza Pauro, vakasvika naye paAtene vachibva vadzokera vaine shoko rokuti Sirasi naTimoti vamutevere nokukurumidza.
Nnipa a wɔkɔgyaa Paulo ɛkwan no de no kɔduruu Atene. Wɔresane akɔ Beroia no, Paulo kraa wɔn sɛ wɔnka nkyerɛ Silas ne Timoteo sɛ wɔmmɛka ne ho ntɛm.
16 Pauro achakavamirira paAtene, akatambudzika zvikuru achiona kuti guta rakanga rizere nezvifananidzo.
Ɛberɛ a Paulo retwɛn Silas ne Timoteo wɔ Atene no, ɔhunuu ahoni pii wɔ kuro no mu. Yei maa ne werɛ hoeɛ yie.
17 Saka akataurirana navaJudha navaGiriki vaitya Mwari musinagoge, uyewo napamusika zuva rimwe nerimwe naavo vainge varipo.
Enti, na ɔne Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ a wɔsom Onyankopɔn no taa hyia wɔ hyiadan mu ma ɔkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn asɛm. Saa ara nso na daa na ɔne nkurɔfoɔ gye akyinnyeɛ wɔ adwabɔeɛ ara no no.
18 Boka ravakachenjera ravaEpikuro navaStoiki rakaita nharo naye. Vamwe vavo vakabvunza vakati, “Ko, uyu mutauri wezvisina maturo ari kuedza kuti kudii?” Vamwe vakati, “Anenge ari kudzidzisa nezvavamwari vokumwe.” Vakareva izvi nokuti Pauro akanga achiparidza mashoko akanaka ezvaJesu uye nezvokumuka kwavakafa.
Afei, ɔne Epikurofoɔ ne Stoikfoɔ anyansafoɔ bi nso gyee akyinnyeɛ. Ebinom kaa sɛ, “na ɛdeɛn na ɔtoatoafoɔ yi pɛ sɛ ɔkyerɛ yi?” Afoforɔ nso kaa sɛ, “Ɛsɛ deɛ ɔreka anyame afoforɔ bi ho asɛm.” Deɛ enti a wɔkaa yei ne sɛ, na Paulo reka Yesu Kristo ne ne wusɔreɛ ho asɛm.
19 Ipapo vakamutora vakaenda naye kumusangano weAreopagasi, vakati kwaari, “Tinoda kuziva kuti dzidziso itsva iyi yauri kudzidzisa ndeyei?
Wɔde Paulo kɔɔ Areopago nhyiamu anim kaa sɛ, “Yɛpɛ sɛ yɛte nkyerɛkyerɛ foforɔ a worekyerɛkyerɛ yi ase,
20 Uri kuunza pfungwa itsva kunzeve dzedu, uye tinoda kuziva kuti dzinorevei.”

21 (VaAtene vose navatorwa vaigara ipapo vaipedza nguva yavo vasina chimwe chavanoita kunze kwokungotaura nokuteerera pfungwa itsva).
Na Atenefoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nni hwee yɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn adagyeɛ nyinaa bɛtie nsɛm foforɔ anaa wɔbɛka nsɛm foforɔ a wɔate no akyerɛ afoforɔ.
22 Ipapo Pauro akasimuka mumusangano weAreopagasi akati, “Varume veAtene! Ndinoona kuti panzira dzose muri vanhu vechitendero zvikuru.
Paulo sɔre gyinaa Areopago nhyiamu no anim kaa sɛ, “Atenefoɔ, mehunu sɛ moyɛ nnipa a mopɛ nyamesom yie.
23 Nokuti ndakati ndichifamba-famba uye ndikanyatsotarisisa zvinhu zvamunonamata, ndakaonawo aritari yakanyorwa kunzi: KUNA MWARI ASINGAZIVIKANWI. Zvino chamunonamata sechinhu chisingazivikanwi ndicho chandinokuparidzirai.
Ɛfiri sɛ, metuu mpase faa mo kuro yi mu, na mehunuu mmeaeɛ ahodoɔ a mosom no, mehunuu afɔrebukyia bi a wɔatwerɛ ho sɛ, Onyame a wɔnnim no no de. Enti, adeɛ a monnim na mosɔre no no, ɛno ho asɛm na mereka akyerɛ mo yi.

Saa ara nso na biribiara a nnipa nam wɔn dwumadie so de bɛma no no nso ho nhia no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔma nnipa nkwa ne biribiara a ɛhia wɔn.

29 “Naizvozvo sezvo tiri chibereko chaMwari, hatifaniri kufunga kuti umwari hwakaita segoridhe kana sirivha kana ibwe, chifananidzo chakavezwa noumhizha hwomunhu.
“Ɛnneɛ sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn mma de a, ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛsusu sɛ Onyankopɔn tebea te sɛ ohoni bi a onipa de dwetɛ anaa sika anaa ɛboɔ ayɛ.
30 Mwari akarega hake kurangarira nguva dzakare dzokusaziva kwakadai, asi zvino anorayira vanhu vose kwose kwose kuti vatendeuke.
