1 Paulo ne Sailasi pakuya balapitila mu minshi ya Amfipoli ne Apoloniya, balashika ku Tesalonika uko kwalikuba ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda.
As they made their iorney thorow Amphipolis and Appolonia they came to Thessalonica where was a synagoge of the Iewes.
2 Kwelana ne cinga ncalikukute Paulo, walengila mung'anda yakupaililamo ne kubandika nabo makani amu Mabala a Lesa kwa nsondo shitatu.
And Paul as his maner was went in vnto them and thre saboth doyes declared oute of the scripture vnto them
3 Walabasansulwila cena makani amu Mabala a Lesa, ne kubalesheti Mupulushi Walaiwa usa welela kupenga ne kupundushiwa kubafu. Paulo walambeti, “Yesuyu ngondamukambaukilinga e Mupulushi Wasalwa ne Lesa.”
openynge and allegynge that Christ must nedes have suffred and rysen agayne from deeth and that this Iesus was Christ whom (sayde he) I preache to you.
4 Nabambi balashoma ne kukonkela Paulo ne Sailasi. Naboyo Bagiliki bangi balikukambilila Lesa, pamo ne batukashi bangi bayampuwo naboyo balashoma.
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 Nomba Bayuda nabambi balanyumfwa minyono, neco balayungaula bantu bamalofwa balikwendanowa munshila, bantu abo pamo ne Bayuda ebalatatika mipyopyongano mu munshi umo. Balabundumukila ne kuya kutoba ng'anda ya Yasoni, kuya kulangaula Paulo ne Sailasi, kwambeti babapulishe mung'andomo ne kubaleta ku bantu.
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 Mpobalanyala pakubula kucanako Paulo ne Sailasi, balekata Yasoni pamo ne bashoma nabambi ne ku bakwelanya kubatwala kubendeleshi bamu munshi, uko nkobalabilikisheti, “Basa bantu baletenga mipyopyongano kulikonse, lelo balesa kumunshi kwetu,
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 labatambulu. Mbyobalenshinga bonse nkabyekatana ne milawo ya mwami waku Loma sobwe, balambangeti kuli Mwami naumbi lina lyakendi Yesu.”
which Iason hath receaved prevely. And these all do contrary to the elders of Cesar affirmynge another kynge one Iesus.
8 Maswi awa alakalalisha likoto lya bantu pamo ne bendeleshi bamu munshi.
And they troubled the people and the officers of the cite when they hearde these thinges.
9 Nomba Yasoni ne banendi basa mpobalalipila mali angi a mulanduwo, bendeleshi ba munshi balabasungulula.
And when they were sufficiently answered of Iason and of the other they let the goo.
10 Mpokwalashipuluka mansailo, banse balatuma Paulo ne Sailasi ku Beleya. Mpobalashikowa balengila mu ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda.
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 Bayuda balikuba ku Beleya balikukute myoyo ishikuyanda kunyumfwishisha, kupita bantu baku Tesalonika. Pakwinga balo balatambula maswi a Lesa ne moyo umo, kayi busuba ne busuba balikubwelulukamo mu Mabala a Lesa kwambeti babone na nicakubinga ncambanga Paulo ne Sailasi.
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 Neco Bayuda bangi balashoma. Kayi ne batukashi ba Cigiliki ne batuloba bangi bayampuwo nabo balashoma.
And many of the beleved: also of worshipfull weme which were Grekes and of men not a feawe.
13 Nomba mpobalanyumfwa Bayuda baku Tesalonika basa, kwambeti Paulo lakambaukunga maswi a Lesa ku Beleya, nakoyo balayako ne kutatika kuyungaula bantu kwambeti batatike mipyopyongano.
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 Pacindi copeleco banse balatuma bantu nabambi kwambeti bashindikile Paulo ku lwenje. Nomba Sailasi ne Timoti balashalila ku Beleya.
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 Bantu basa balamushindikila Paulo balashika nendi ku Atene. Panyuma pakendi balabwelela ku Beleya, ne kuya kwambila Sailasi ne Timoti kwambeti Paulo layandangeti bamukonke bwangu bwangu.
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 Cindi Paulo ncalikupembelela Sailasi ne Timoti ku Atene, walapenga mumoyo pakuboneti munshi wonse walikuba wesula ne tumbwanga ntobali kukambilila.
Whyll Paul wayted for them at Attens his sprete was moved in him to se the cite geven to worshippinge of ymages.
17 Lino Paulo walabandika ne Bayuda mung'anda ya kupaililamo pamo ne bantu bamishobo naimbi balikukambilila Lesa. Kayi walabandika ne bantu mbwalikukumanya pamusena wa makwebo busuba ne busuba.
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 Bantu ba mano nabambi bamulikoto lyalikukwiweti Epikuleya, neba Sitoyiki, balatotekeshana ne Paulo, nabambi balikwambeti, “Inga mbutuma iyi yapamulomo cisa ilelekeshenga kwamba cani?” Nabambi kayi balikwambeti, “Uyu lanyumfwikingeti lakambaukunga sha balesa bensu mbotuteshi kuno.” Balikwambeco pakwinga Paulo, walikukambauka Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Yesu ne shakupunduka kubafu.
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 Neco balamutwala Paulo ku nkuta yalikukwiweti Aleopagi ne kumwambileti, “Mutusansulwile afwe cishikunyumfwika sha ciyisho calinolino ici ncomuleyishinga.
And they toke him and brought him into Marsestrete sayinge: maye we not knowe what this newe doctrine wher of thou speakest is?
20 Pakwinga bintu nabimbi mbyomulatwiyishinga, nkatuna tubinyumfwapo, neco tulayandanga kubinshiba cena.”
For thou bringest straunge tydynges to oure eares. We wolde knowe therfore what these thinges meane.
21 Bantu bonse balikwikala mu Atene, pamo ne bensu, balikukute cinga cakutaya cindi cabo, ne kuyandowa kutonda tonda ne kunyumfwa bintu byalinolino.
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 Paulo walemana pakati pa nkuta ya Aleopagi ne kwambeti, “Amwe bantu bene Atene, ndabononga kwambeti mwashimpa cena mu kukambilila kwenu.
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 Pakwinga pacindi ncondendananga mu munshi wenu uwu, ndabona misena ingi njomukute kupaililamo, pa nteme napambi mpomukute kupaililapo palembwa cisa, ‘Kuli Lesa wabula kwinshibikwa. Epeloyo ngomukute kukambilila kamutamwinshi, endiye ngondamwambilinga pacino cindi.
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 Uyo endiye Lesa walalenga cishi ne bintu byonse bilimo, e Mwami lendeleshenga kwilu ne cishi capanshi. Neco nkakute kwikala mu manda ebakwa ne bantu sobwe.
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 Cakubinga paliya bantu ncobelela kumusebensela ne makasa abo, pakwinga paliya ncabulilwa. Endiye Lesa ukute kutupa buyumi ne muya ngotukute kuyoya, pamo ne bintu byonse.
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 cakutanguna Lesa walalenga muntu umo, kufuma mu muntu umo ngwalalenga, emwalafuma mishobo yonse ya bantu, kwambeti bekalenga kulikonse pacishi capacishi. Walababambilalimo cindi ca buyumu bwabo kayi ne nyinsa ya misena yabo.
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 Walenseco kwambeti bantu bakamulangaule, mpani ngabamwinshiba mukumulangaula. Nsombi Lesa nkalipo kutali ne njafwe twense sobwe.”
that they shuld seke God yf they myght fele and fynde him though he be not farre from every one of vs.
28 Mbuli muntu naumbi ncalambeti, endiye ukute kutupa ngofu sha kuba ne buyumi, shakwenda kayi kuba mbuli ncetubele. Mbuli bakalaka maimbo benu ncobalalembeti, ne njafwe tobana bendi.
For in him we lyve move and have oure beynge as certayne of youre awne Poetes sayde. For we are also his generacion.
29 Pakwinga tobana bendi Lesa, nkatwelela kuyeyeti bulesa bwakendi bwakoshana ne kambwanga kagolide nambi ka silifa nambi ka libwe lyapangwa cena ne mano a muntu.
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 Kaindi Lesa walikubalekelela bantu bintu byaipa mbyobalikwinsa, pakwinga nkabalikumwinshiba, nsombi lino labambilinga bantu kulikonse kwambeti basanduke.
And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not: but now he byddeth all men every where repent
31 Lesa wasalapo busuba bumo, bwa kwisakombolosha bantu pacishi capanshi mubululami, kupitila mu muntu uyo ngwalasala. Ici walacibonesha ku bantu bonse, pakumupundusha kubafu muntuyo.
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 Nabambi bantu mpobalanyumfwa makani akupunduka kubafu ngalikwamba Paulo, balamuseka. Nsombi nabambi balambeti, tulayandanga kwambeti ukese busuba nabumbi kwisa kutwambila makani awa.
When they hearde of ye resurreccion from deeth some mocked and other sayde: we will heare the agayne of this matter.
33 Popelapo Paulo walafumako ku nkuta.
So Paul departed from amonge them.
34 Nabambi bantu balakonkela Paulo balashoma. Pakati pa bantu abo palikuba Diyonisiya, wa mulikoto lyankuta ya Aleopagi, pamo ne mutukashi lina lyakendi Damalisi, ne nabambi.
Howbeit certayne men clave vnto Paul and beleved amonge the which was Dionysius a senatour and a woman named Damaris and other with them.
