Falimaha Rasuullada 17
1 Haddaba markay sii dhex mareen Amfibolis iyo Abollooniya ayay waxay yimaadeen Tesaloniika meeshaas oo sunagogga Yuhuuddu ahaa;
After passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, Paul and Silas came to Thessalonica. Here the Jews had a synagogue;
2 oo Bawlos sidii caadadiisu ahayd, ayuu iyagii u galay, oo saddex sabtiyoodna ayuu Qorniinka kala hadlay,
and, following his usual custom, Paul joined them, and for three Sabbaths addressed them, drawing his arguments from the scriptures.
3 isagoo caddaynaya oo muujinaya inay waajib ahayd in Masiixu silco oo ka soo sara kaco kuwii dhintay, wuxuuna yidhi, Ciisahan aan idinku wacdiyey waa Masiixa.
He laid before them and explained that the Christ must undergo suffering and rise from the dead; and “It is this man,” he declared, “who is the Christ – this Jesus about whom I am telling you.”
4 Oo waxaa la rumaysiiyey oo Bawlos iyo Silas isku daray qaar iyaga ka mid ah oo ahaa Gariig fara badan oo cibaadaysan iyo dumarka madaxda ah oo aan fara yarayn.
Some of the people were convinced, and threw in their lot with Paul and Silas, as did also a large body of Greeks who were accustomed to join in the Jewish services, and a great number of leading women.
5 Laakiin Yuhuuddii oo ka masayrsan ayaa nimanka suuqa ka soo kaxaysatay kuwo shar leh, urur bayna isu keeneen, oo magaaladii bay buuq ka dhigeen; oo markay gurigii Yasoon weerareen ayay waxay dooneen inay iyagii dadka u soo saaraan.
But the Jewish leaders, becoming jealous, engaged some worthless fellows from the streets, and, getting a mob together, kept the city in an uproar. They attacked Jason’s house, with the intention of bringing Paul and Silas before the Popular Assembly;
6 Oo markay waayeen, ayay Yasoon iyo kuwo walaalo ah ku hor jiideen taliyayaashii magaalada iyagoo ku qaylinaya oo leh, Kuwii dunida rogay ayaa halkanna yimid,
and, not finding them there, they proceeded to drag Jason and some of the Lord’s followers before the city magistrates, shouting out, “These men, who have turned the world upside down, have now come here,
7 iyagoo uu Yasoon martiggeliyey; kuwaas oo dhanna waxay falaan wax ka gees ah amarrada Kaysar, iyagoo leh, Waxaa jira boqor kale oo Ciise ah.
and have been harbored by Jason! They are all defying the decrees of the Emperor. They say that someone else is king – a man called Jesus!”
8 Markaasay dhib geliyeen dadkii badnaa iyo taliyayaashii magaalada oo waxyaalahaas maqlay.
On hearing this, the people and the city magistrates were much concerned;
9 Oo kolkay Yasoon iyo kuwii kale dammiin ka qaadeen, ayay sii daayeen.
and, before letting them go, they took bail from Jason and the others.
10 Oo markiiba walaalihii waxay habeennimo Bawlos iyo Silas u direen Beroya, kuwaas oo kolkay meeshaas yimaadeen galay sunagogga Yuhuudda.
That very night the followers sent Paul and Silas off to Beroea; and on reaching that place, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
11 Haddaba kuwaasu waa ka sharaf badnaayeen kuwii Tesaloniika joogay, maxaa yeelay, ereygay aqbaleen iyagoo xiiso weyn u qaba oo maalin kasta baadhaya Qorniinka inay hubsadaan waxyaalahaasi inay sidaas yihiin iyo in kale.
These Jews of Beroea were better disposed than those in Thessalonica, for they welcomed the message with great readiness, and daily examined the scriptures to see if what was said was true.
12 Sidaas darteed kuwa badan oo iyaga ka mid ah baa rumaystay iyo dumar Gariig ah oo sharaf leh iyo niman aan fara yarayn.
As a consequence, many of them became believers in Christ, besides a considerable number of Greek women of position, and of men also.
13 Laakiin kolkii Yuhuuddii Tesaloniika joogtay ogaatay in Bawlos ereyga Ilaah Beroya ku wacdiyey, ayay meeshaasna yimaadeen oo qas iyo dhib geliyeen dadkii badnaa.
But, when the Jewish leaders in Thessalonica found out that God’s message had been delivered by Paul at Beroea, they came there too, exciting and disturbing the minds of the people.
14 Markaasaa walaalihii kolkiiba Bawlos u direen inuu tago ilaa badda; Silas iyo Timoteyosna halkaasay weli joogeen.
The followers immediately arranged for Paul to go away to the coast, but both Silas and Timothy stayed behind in Beroea.
15 Laakiin kuwii Bawlos ambabbixiyey waxay isagii keeneen ilaa Ateenay; markaasay ka tageen iyagoo Silas iyo Timoteyos amar u qaadaya inay degdeg u yimaadaan.
The friends who escorted Paul took him as far as Athens, and, after receiving a message for Silas and Timothy to join him as quickly as possible, they started on their return.
16 Haddaba Bawlos intuu Ateenay ku sugayay iyagii, ruuxiisu waa kacay markuu arkay magaalada oo sanamyo ka buuxaan.
While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his heart was stirred at seeing the whole city full of idols.
17 Saas daraaddeed ayuu Yuhuuddii iyo nimankii cibaadaysnaa kula xaajooday sunagogga, suuqa dhexdiisana ayuu maalin walba kula xaajooday kuwii kula kulmayba.
So he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and with those who joined in their worship, as well as daily in the public Square with those who happened to be there.
18 Waxaana la kulmay isagii kuwo ka mid ah faylosuufiinta Ebikuriyiin iyo Istoo'ikiin ah. Qaar baa waxay yidhaahdeen, Ninkan dawdarka ihi muxuu odhan doonaa? Qaar kalena waxay yidhaahdeen, Wuxuu u eg yahay nin ilaahyo qalaad wax ka sheega; maxaa yeelay, wuxuu dadkii ku wacdiyey Ciise iyo sarakicidda.
Among others, some Epicurean and Stoic Philosophers joined issue with him. Some asked “What is this prater wanting to make out?”, while others said “He seems to be a preacher of foreign Deities.” (This was because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection).
19 Markaasay isagii qabteen, oo waxay u kaxeeyeen Are'obagos iyagoo ku leh, Ma ogaan karnaa waxay tahay waxbariddan cusub oo aad ku hadlaysid?
So they laid hold of him and took him to the Court of Areopagus. “May we hear,” they asked, “what new teaching this is which you are giving?
20 Waayo, waxaad dhegahayaga maqashiisaa waxyaalo qalaad. Sidaa darteed waxaannu doonaynaa inaannu ogaanno waxyaalahanu waxay yihiin.
For you are bringing some strange things to our notice, and we should like to know what they mean.”
21 (Haddaba reer Ateenay oo dhammi iyo dadkii qalaad oo halkaas degganaa, wakhtigooda wax kale kuma ay dhaafin inay sheegaan ama maqlaan wax cusub mooyaane.)
(All Athenians and the foreigners staying in the city found no time for anything else but telling, or listening to, the last new thing.)
22 Markaasaa Bawlos oo Are'obagos dhex taagan wuxuu yidhi, Nimankiinan reer Ateenay ahow, wax kasta waxaan idinku garanayaa inaad tihiin kuwo ilaahyada ka cabsada.
So Paul took his stand in the middle of the Court, and said – “People of Athens, on every hand I see signs of your being very devout.
23 Waayo, markaan soo socday oo aan arkay waxyaalaha aad caabuddaan waxaan soo arkay oo kale meel allabari oo lagu qoray, Waxaa leh ilaah aan la oqoon. Haddaba waxaad oqoonla'aanta ku caabuddaan ayaan wax idiinka sheegayaa.
For as I was going about, looking at your sacred shrines, I came upon an altar with this inscription – ‘To an Unknown God.’ What, therefore, you worship in ignorance, that I am now proclaiming to you.
24 Ilaaha sameeyey dunida iyo waxyaalaha ku jira oo dhanba, oo ah Rabbiga samada iyo dhulka, ma deggana macbudyo gacmo lagu sameeyey,
The God who made the world and all things that are in it – he, Lord as he is of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by hands,
25 gacmo dadna looguma adeego sidii isagoo wax u baahan, maxaa yeelay, dhammaan isagaa siiya nolosha iyo neefta iyo wax walbaba;
neither do human hands minister to his wants, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives, to all, life, and breath, and all things.
26 oo quruun kasta oo bini-aadmi ah ayuu isaga mid dhigay inay dunida dusheeda oo dhan degganaadaan isagoo gooyay xilliyaduu hore u diyaarshay iyo xadadka degmooyinkooda;
He made all races of the earth’s surface – fixing a time for their rise and fall, and the limits of their settlements –
27 inay Ilaah doondoonaan, in hadday suurtowdo ay haabhaabtaan oo ay helaan isaga, in kastoo uusan ka fogayn midkeen kasta;
That they might search for God, if by any means they might feel their way to him and find him. And yet he is not really far from any one of us;
28 maxaa yeelay, isagaynu ku nool nahay, kuna soconnaa, kuna jirnaa; sidaasoo kuwo ka mid ah gabayayaashiinnu ay yidhaahdeen, Weliba innaguna waxaynu nahay farcankiisa.
for in him we live and move and are. To use the words of some of your own poets – ‘His offspring, too, are we.’
29 Haddaba innagoo ah Ilaah farcankiis waa inaynaan ka fikirin in Ilaahnimadu ay la mid tahay dahab ama lacag ama dhagax oo lagu xardhay sancada iyo farsamada dadka.
Therefore, as the offspring of God, we must not think that the Deity has any resemblance to anything made of gold, or silver, or stone – a work of human art and imagination.
30 Haddaba wakhtiyadii oqoonla'aanta Ilaah baa dhaafay, laakiin hadda wuxuu dadka ku amrayaa in dhammaantood meel kastaba ha joogeene ay soo toobadkeenaan;
True, God looked with indulgence on the days of people’s ignorance, but now he is announcing to everyone everywhere the need for repentance,
31 maxaa yeelay, wuxuu dhigay maalin uu dunida si xaq ah ugu xukumi doono ninkuu doortay, taasoo uu dhammaan ugu caddeeyey sarakicidda uu isagii ka soo sara kiciyey kuwii dhintay.
because he has fixed a day on which he intends to judge the world with justice, by a man whom he has appointed – and of this he has given all people a pledge by raising this man from the dead.”
32 Haddaba kolkay maqleen wax ku saabsan ka soo sarakicidda kuwii dhintay, qaar waa ku qosleen, laakiin qaar kale waxay yidhaahdeen, Mar kale ayaannu waxan kaa maqli doonnaa.
On hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some began jeering, but others said that they wanted to hear what he had to say about that another time.
33 Haddaba Bawlos waa ka dhex tegey iyagii.
And so Paul left the Court.
34 Laakiin niman baa raacay isagii oo rumaystay; kuwaasoo ay ka mid ahaayeen Diyonusiyos ki Are'obagos, iyo haweenay la odhan jiray Damaris, iyo kuwo kale oo la socdayba.
There were, however, some people who joined him, and became believers in Christ. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the Court of Areopagus, a woman named Damaris, and several others.
