Matendo 17
1 Wakasafiri kupitia Amfipoli na Apolonia wakafika Thesalonike, ambako kulikuwa na sinagogi la Wayahudi.
Ek din paul aru silas duijon Amphipolis aru Apollonia laga sheher paar kori kene jaise, aru Thessalonica laga sheher te ahi ponchise, ta te Yehudi khan laga ekta mondoli thakise.
2 Kama desturi yake, Paulo aliingia ndani ya sinagogi, na kwa muda wa Sabato tatu akawa anahojiana nao kutoka kwenye Maandiko,
Aru Paul laga adat ekta thaka nisina, tai taikhan logote jaise, aru tin Bisram din tak taikhan logote Isor laga kotha koi thakise.
3 akidhihirisha wazi na kuthibitisha kwamba ilikuwa lazima Kristo ateswe na afufuke kutoka kwa wafu. Akasema, “Huyu Yesu ninayewaambia habari zake, ndiye Kristo.”
Aru tai Shastro khuli kene taikhan ke bujhai thakise ki Khrista dukh pabo aru mora pora jinda hoi jabo, aru etu eneka hobole dorkar thakise. Aru tai koise, “Etu Jisu kun laga kotha koi kene moi prochar kori ase Tai he Khrista ase.”
4 Baadhi ya Wayahudi wakasadiki, wakaungana na Paulo na Sila, wakiwepo idadi kubwa ya Wayunani waliomcha Mungu na wanawake wengi mashuhuri.
Ta te kunba Yehudi khan Paul aru Silas laga kotha huni kene tai duijon logote milai loise, aru taikhan logote kunba Yunani khan aru kunba maiki khan bhi mili jaise.
5 Lakini Wayahudi ambao hawakuwa wameamini wakawa na wivu, wakawakodi watu waovu kutoka sokoni, wakakutanisha umati wa watu, wakaanzisha ghasia mjini. Wakaenda mbio nyumbani kwa Yasoni wakiwatafuta Paulo na Sila ili kuwaleta nje penye ule umati wa watu.
Kintu biswas nakora Yehudi khan mon julise, aru bajar pora biya manu ke joma kori loise, aru bisi manu lagai kene sheher te hala korise. Aru jitia Jason laga ghor bhangai dise, aru Paul aru Silas ke manu khan dhori kene loi anibole bisarise.
6 Lakini walipowakosa wakamburuta Yasoni na ndugu wengine mbele ya maafisa wa mji, wakipiga kelele: “Watu hawa ni wale walioupindua ulimwengu wamekuja huku,
Kintu jitia taikhan duijon ke panai, taikhan Jason aru kunba biswasi bhai khan ke dhori kene sheher laga adhikari khan usorte loi jaise, aru hala kori kene koise, “Etu manu khan jun duniya ke ulta koridi ase, taikhan bhi yate ahikena ase.
7 naye Yasoni amewakaribisha nyumbani mwake. Hawa wote wanaasi amri za Kaisari wakisema yuko mfalme mwingine aitwaye Yesu.”
Jason pora tai laga ghor te manu kunkhan rakhise kunkhan Caesar laga kotha mana nai, aru taikhan koi ase Jisu koi kene dusra raja ase.”
8 Waliposikia haya, ule umati wa watu na maafisa wa mji wakaongeza ghasia.
Aru etu kotha huni kene bisi manu khan aru sheher laga adhikari khan sob chinta hoise.
9 Nao baada ya kuchukua dhamana kwa ajili ya Yasoni na wenzake wakawaacha waende zao.
Kintu taikhan Jason aru tai laga saathi khan pora poisa loise, aru dusra biswasi khan ke jabole dise.
10 Usiku ule ule, wale ndugu walioamini wakawapeleka Paulo na Sila waende zao Beroya. Walipowasili huko wakaenda kwenye sinagogi la Wayahudi.
Titia biswasi bhai khan etu rati te Paul aru Silas ke Berea sheher te pathai dise. Aru jitia duijon ta te ponchise, tai duijon Yehudi khan laga mondoli te jaise.
11 Hawa Waberoya walikuwa waungwana zaidi kuliko wale wa Thesalonike, kwa kuwa waliupokea ule ujumbe kwa shauku kubwa na kuyachunguza Maandiko kila siku ili kuona kama yale Paulo aliyosema yalikuwa kweli.
Aru Thessalonica te thaka manu khan to dusra jaga laga manu khan pora bhi bhal thakise, kelemane taikhan hodai din Isor laga kotha te ki likha ase etu saikene bhal mon pora grohon kori thakise.
12 Wayahudi wengi wakaamini pamoja na wanawake na wanaume wa Kiyunani wa tabaka la juu.
Etu nimite bisi manu Jisu ke biswas kori loise, aru ta te laga Yunani niyom mani thaka mahila khan aru kunba mota manu khan bhi biswas korise.
13 Lakini wale Wayahudi wa Thesalonike waliposikia kuwa Paulo anahubiri neno la Mungu huko Beroya, wakaenda huko ili kuwashawishi watu na kuwachochea.
Kintu jitia Thessalonica laga Yehudi khan Paul pora Berea te Isor laga kotha koi ase koi kene janise, taikhan jai kene manu khan laga monte biya kotha hali dise aru mon biya kori bole dise.
14 Mara hiyo, wale ndugu wakamsafirisha Paulo hadi pwani, lakini Sila na Timotheo wakabaki Beroya.
Etu homoi te, biswasi bhai khan joldi Paul ke samundar phale pora jabole dise, kintu Silas aru Timothy to Berea te thaki jaise.
15 Wale waliomsindikiza Paulo wakaenda naye mpaka Athene, kisha wakarudi Beroya wakiwa na maagizo kutoka kwa Paulo kuhusu Sila na Timotheo kwamba wamfuate upesi iwezekanavyo.
Aru jun manu Paul ke loi jaise taikhan Athens sheher pora aru dur te taike loi jaise. Aru jitia taikhan Silas aru Timothy duijon ke Paul pora tai usorte te joldi ahibole dibi koi kene khobor paise, taikhan nijor laga ghor te jai jaise.
16 Paulo alipokuwa akiwasubiri huko Athene, alisumbuka sana moyoni mwake kuona vile mji huo ulivyojaa sanamu.
Jitia Paul Athens te Silas aru Timothy ke rukhi thakise, tai etu sheher te murti bhorta thaka dikhi kene tai laga atma pora bisi mon dukh hoise.
17 Hivyo akahojiana kwenye sinagogi na Wayahudi pamoja na Wayunani waliomcha Mungu, na pia sokoni kila siku na watu aliopatana nao huko.
Titia tai mondoli te jai kene Yehudi aru hosa Isor ke aradhana kora manu khan logote kotha korise, aru hodai tai jitia bajar te jai ta te bhi manu lok paile etu laga kotha kori thakise.
18 Kisha baadhi ya Waepikureo na Wastoiko wenye falsafa wakakutana naye. Baadhi yao wakasema, “Je, huyu mpayukaji anajaribu kusema nini?” Wengine wakasema, “Inaonekana anasema habari za miungu ya kigeni.” Walisema haya kwa sababu Paulo alikuwa anahubiri habari njema kuhusu Yesu na ufufuo wa wafu.
Titia Epicurean aru Stoic khan laga pondit kunba ahi kene tai logot kotha lagi thakise, aru kunba koise, etu ke najana manu ki kobole mon kori ase? Dusra koise tai dusra jaga laga dhorom manu ase, kelemane tai Jisu laga kotha aru jee utha laga kotha prochar kori ase.
19 Hivyo wakamchukua na kumleta kwenye mkutano wa Areopago, walikomwambia, “Je, tunaweza kujua mafundisho haya mapya unayofundisha ni nini?
Taikhan Paul ke Aropagus laga usorte loi jaise aru koise, “Tumi ki koi ase aru sikhai ase etu amikhan bhi janibole paribo?
20 Wewe unaleta mambo mapya masikioni mwetu, hivyo tungetaka kujua maana yake ni nini.”
Kelemane amikhan laga kan pora kitia bhi nahuna kotha huni bole pai ase. Etu nimite, amikhan bhi janibole mon ase etu kotha laga ki motlob ase.”
21 (Waathene na wageni wote walioishi humo hawakutumia muda wao kufanya chochote kingine isipokuwa kueleza au kusikia mambo mapya).
-Etiya sob Athens laga manu aru dusra desh pora ahi kene thaka manu khan dusra eku kaam nakori kene kiba notun kotha hunile etu laga kotha koi kene bohi thake.
22 Ndipo Paulo akasimama katikati ya Areopago akasema, “Enyi watu wa Athene! Ninaona kwamba katika kila jambo ninyi ni watu wa dini sana.
Titia Paul Areopagus majote khara hoi kene koise, “Tumi Athens laga manu khan, moi dikhi ase tumikhan sob kaam te bhal ase.
23 Kwa kuwa nilipokuwa nikitembea mjini na kuangalia kwa bidii vitu vyenu vya kuabudiwa, niliona huko madhabahu moja iliyoandikwa: Kwa Mungu Asiyejulikana. Basi sasa kile ambacho mmekuwa mkikiabudu kama kisichojulikana, ndicho ninachowahubiria.
Jitia moi tumikhan laga puja kori thaka saman khan saikene paar kori thakise, tumikhan pathor pora bona bedi te eneka likhi kene rakha dikhise, “Ekjon najana Isor nimite.” Etu karone junke apnikhan najani kene puja kori thaki ase, etu laga kotha tumikhan ke moi kobo.
24 “Mungu aliyeumba dunia na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake, yeye ndiye Bwana wa mbingu na nchi, hakai katika mahekalu yaliyojengwa kwa mikono ya wanadamu.
Isor jun he prithibi aru ta te thaka sob bonai dise, Tai sorgo aru prithibi laga Isor ase, manu pora bonai diya laga mondoli te nathake.
25 Wala hatumikiwi na mikono ya wanadamu kana kwamba anahitaji chochote, kwa sababu yeye mwenyewe ndiye awapaye watu wote uhai na pumzi na vitu vyote.
Aru Tai manu laga hath laga sewa nalage, aru manu pora eku nibisare, kelemane Tai he sobke jibon aru saas diye aru manu ki lage Tai etu sob diye.
26 Kutoka kwa mtu mmoja, yeye aliumba mataifa yote ya wanadamu ili waikalie dunia yote, naye akaweka nyakati za kuishi.
Aru Tai ekjon manu pora he ekta desh aru jiman manu etiya thaki ase etu sobke bonai dise, ki homoi te kineka dibole lage aru kun manu laga jat kote thaki bole lage etu sob Tai pora bonai kene rakhidise,
27 Mungu alifanya hivyo ili wanadamu wamtafute na huenda wakamfikia ingawa kwa kupapasapapasa ijapokuwa kwa kweli hakai mbali na kila mmoja wetu.
Eneka korile manu khan Taike bisaribo aru taikhan Isor phale mon dibo aru Tai usorte ahibo. Kintu Tai amikhan pora kitia bhi dur thaka nai.
28 ‘Kwa kuwa katika yeye tunaishi, tunatembea na kuwa na uzima wetu.’ Kama baadhi ya watunga mashairi wenu walivyosema, ‘Sisi ni watoto wake.’
Kelemane amikhan Tai logote jinda ase aru amikhan laga ki ase etu sob to Tai laga he ase, jineka apuni khan laga majote kitab likha ekjon pora koise, ‘Amikhan sob Tai laga bacha khan he ase.’
29 “Kwa kuwa sisi ni watoto wa Mungu, haitupasi kudhani kuwa uungu ni kama sanamu ya dhahabu au ya fedha au ya jiwe, mfano uliotengenezwa kwa ubunifu na ustadi wa mwanadamu.
Etu karone, amikhan Isor laga bacha ase, amikhan eneka bhabona kori bole nalage ki tai laga sobhab to suna, chandi, aru pathor nisena ase- eitu khan jinis to manu laga bhabona pora bonai.
30 Zamani wakati wa ujinga, Mungu alijifanya kama haoni, lakini sasa anawaamuru watu wote kila mahali watubu.
Etu nimite Isor poila te manu laga paap dhyan nakori kene chari dise, kintu etiya Tai sob manu ke paap pora mon ghura bole hukum dise.
31 Kwa kuwa ameweka siku ambayo atauhukumu ulimwengu kwa haki akimtumia mtu aliyemchagua. Amewahakikishia watu wote mambo haya kwa kumfufua Kristo kutoka kwa wafu.”
Kelemane, ek dinte rakhi kene ase, juntu dinte, Tai pora basi luwa ekjon pora etu duniya ke dhormikta pora bisar koribo. Isor he Jisu ke mora pora jinda kori kene Tai hosa Isor ase koi kene dikhai dise.”
32 Waliposikia habari za ufufuo wa wafu, baadhi yao wakadhihaki, lakini wengine wakasema, “Tunataka kukusikia tena ukizungumza juu ya jambo hili.”
Aru jitia Athens laga manu khan mori kene jinda huwa kotha hunise, kunba ta te thaka khan Paul ke hinsa korise; kintu kunba koise, “Amikhan etu kotha apuni pora aru hunibo.”
33 Kwa hiyo Paulo akaondoka katikati yao.
Etu pichete Paul taikhan laga majot pora ulai jaise.
34 Lakini baadhi yao wakaungana naye wakaamini. Kati yao alikuwepo Dionisio, Mwareopago na mwanamke mmoja aliyeitwa Damari na wengine wengi.
Kintu kunba tai logote mili jaise aru tai ki kotha koise etu biswas korise, etu majote Dionysius jun Areopagus laga ekjon manu, aru Damaris koi kene ekjon mahila, aru dusra manu khan bhi taikhan logote thakise.
