Katwa Nono Katwa 17
1 Inanin wachinu nigbiri nigbir Amphipos nin Apollolonia ma inin da kagbiri Thessalonika. Kikane wadi kiti zursuzu na Yahudawa
And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 In wui na sabbath Bulus pira kitin zursu nafo usum. Tisati tat awa pichu ko ayeme asabbath. Amini wa dursuzo anite tipipinlitafe woro Isa amere mazamu Christi.
And Paul, according to his custom, went in to them, and, for three sabbath-days, he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3 Amini wa nuna nanin nuzu litafe. anan yenjun bun na nyerti kiden ame Misiah maku akura fita nin lai tutun. Amini wabelin” Ule unite amere Isa ah Christi. Anaku amini na fita tutun, nanare anan yenjun bun nabelin”.
explaining and affirming that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead; and that this Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.
4 Among a Yahudawa kikane yinna nin nilemon na Bulus belle inin chizina zurzu nin Bulus nin Sila. Kikane ma amon wadiku na Yahudawari ba nin umong uwani unan dortu Kutellẹ amini tutun wa yinin nin liru kitenen Isa, inanin wa chizina uzursu nin Bulus nin Sila.
And some of them believed, and associated themselves with Paul and Silas; of the devout Greeks, a great multitude, and of the chief women, not a few.
5 Amon adida na Yahudawe ayimine wa nana nin nanite bar na iwa yinin sauyenu nin lirulena Bulus durso nanin. Bar nanin i do idi yichila anit gbarda ini rususzo anit idofin nanin. Nin nanin inin, adide na Yahudawe nin pitirno anit gbardan inin ta jartizu. Ayahudawa ane tinna ido igan Jason kikana an Bulus nin Sila wasosinku. Iwa dinin su inutun Bulus nin Sila udas kitinanite.
But the unbelieving Jews, taking with them some evil men, who were loungers about the markets, and collecting a mob, set the city in an uproar; and having assaulted the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
6 Imini wa se an Bulus nin Sila wadi nan nya kilare b, inanin wa se Jason ma inin kifo gh. Ma inin wunughe nin among anan yinnusauyenu kiti nago ka gbiri. Inin belle” Anit alena idin fizi nibinai iyẹ ida kikanema tutyun.
But not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying out: These men, who have thrown the world into confusion, have come hither also;
7 Ame Jason yira nanin achau in game. Na idimun su kaisar ba. Inanin belle umong unit diku lisame Isa amere ugo kiden.
whom Jason has received into his house: and they all act in opposition to the decrees of Cæsar, saying, That there is another king, Jesus.
8 Dana lipitin nanite da kitikirum nin nago ka gbiri nibinai mine nana kan.
And the multitude, and the rulers of the city, were troubled when they heard these things.
9 Ago ka gbiri ta Jason na ikubu inin belle nanin ima ni nanin ikubua andi Bulus nin Sila fia nibinai nanite tutunba. Nin nanin ago ka gbiri in belle Jason nin nannan yinnu sauyenu nyha.
And they took security of Jason, and of the others, and let them go.
10 Nin kitik kan, anan yinnu sauyenu tinna inutuno Bulus nin sila nan nya Thesalika udu ka gbiri Berea. Dana Bulus nin Sila wa duru kikane, itinna i pira kitin zursuzu na Yahudawa.
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea; and when they had come, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 Ayahudawan Thasalonika wa xinin su lazin liru Kutellẹ nafo Ayahudawan Berea ba, inanin wa lanza gigime uliru kitenen Isa. Kolome liri iwa gartu tipipin nin litimine iyinin kidegen liru ulena Bulus wa bellin kitenen Isa.
These were of a better disposition than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.
12 Bar udursuzu Bulus Ayahudawa gbardan yinna nin Isa, nin na mong awani alena Ayahudawaba nin nanilime alena Ayahudawariba wa yinin nin gye.
Therefore, many of them believed; both of influential women, who were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
13 Nanin tutun Ayahudawa nan nya thasalonika lanza Bulus din durzsuzu uliru Kutellẹ kitenen Isa. Inanin wa do Uberea inin woro nin nanit alena idi kikane ibelle imong ilena imati ilanza ayi nin Bulus.
But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul in Berea also, they came thither, and excited the multitude.
14 Among anan yinnu sauyenu yira Bulus ku udukuasri lkurawa kuda inan nya udu kan ka gbiri. Sila nin Timintawus wa soh nan nya Berea.
Then the brethren immediately sent Paul away, to go as if to the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
15 Dana Bulus nin nanan yinnu sauyenu iwa duru ugefe kuraw, itinna pira ujirgin mmen kata udu kagbiri Antakia. Bulus ninworo nin nale ne dã ninṣhe.”Belle Sila ninTimintawus idak kitinin in Atantakia.” Anite ne chino Antakia ma inin kwila udu Berea.
And those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and having received a commandment for Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him as soon as possible, they departed.
16 Nan nya Athens Bulus soncha Sila nin Timotawus idak. Nan nya nani, achina a kilino ka gbiri. Amini wa lanza mmang kibinaime ba bar ka gbiri wadini chil(idol)
Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, when he saw the city full of idols.
17 Amini wa duo kitin zursu na Yahudawa anin lirina kitenen Isa nin na Yahudawa, ah tutun a Greek alena na sere ilemon na a Yahuda yinna mu. Amini wa nuzu udas atinna kolome liri anin lira kiti nanite alena awa zuro nan ghinu kikane.
Accordingly, he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and devout persons, and in the market daily, with those who chanced to meet him.
18 Bulus zuro nin among anan dursuzu inanin wa dinin so iliru kitene nilemong na anit yinnamu. anite wa din yichi Among Epicorion, among iyichananin Stoiks. Inanin wa belin Bulus ku ilemong na inin yinnam, inin tiringhe iyeri ame yinnamu. Among woro nin natimine “nafo adinbellu kutellẹ kona tiyirimuba”. Inin woro bar na Bulus wa dinbelu nanin Isa naku amini nafita adimun ilai tutun.
And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers disputed with him; and some said: What can this babbler possibly wish to say? Others said: He seems to be a proclaimer of strange demons: for he preached to them Jesus and the Resurrection.
19 Among tinna iyiraghe kiti kana kana adide ka gbiri din zursuzu. Dana iduru kikane inin woro nin Bulus, “Benle nari, iyapin imong ipese udin dursuzu anite?
And they took him, and brought him to Mars hill, saying: Are we able to understand what this new teaching is, which is announced by you?
20 Idin dursuzu imong ilengena tiyirimung b, bar nani iyadi nari tiyinin iyapimonari ine.
For you bring some strange things to our ears: we wish to understand then what these things mean.
21 Anitin Athans nin nalena idi kusari kone ne isosinku, idinin so ilaza uliru upese.
For all the Athenians and resident strangers have leisure for nothing else than to tell or to hear some new thing.
22 Nin nani Bulus tina ayisina mbun mine anin woro.”Anit Athaan, yene anughe idinin nadini kan.
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars hill, and said: Men of Athens, I perceive that in all respects your reverence for demons excels that of other men.
23 Mbele nanin bar, dana indinchinu mmini yene mmong ilengebna idin zazunu, mmini yene kon kubagadi nin lisa kona idin yichu kunin: KUTELLẸ KONA TIYIRUMU BA. Nene mma belin minu Kutellẹ kona idin zazunu na iyirughe ba.
For as I was passing through, and looking attentively at the objects of your worship, I dis covered also an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him I make known to you.
24 Amere Kutelle ulena anake uyi nin nimog vat nan ny. Amere min koyang nan nya kitene nin kutin, na adin sozu kudaga kona inake nin na charaba.
God, who made the world, and all things that are in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands;
25 Na adimin so nimong na ina ke bar ameba Amre nani nari ulai nin ununfash, Amini na ni nanin mmong ilena idimung su.
nor is he ministered to by the hands of men, as if he needed any thing: for he himself gives to all life, and breath, and all things:
26 Kubin hizine, Kutellẹ nake unit nin wanim, nan nya minere ama maru anit nan nya iye na isozun ko kame kagbiri. Amini ana ti anit niti kubi
and he has made from one blood every nation of men, that they might dwell on all the face of the earth, having marked out their appointed times, and the bounds of their dwelling:
27 Ana dimun su anit yinin anit dinin sume. Bar inan piziraghe inin saghe. Kutellẹ dinin su ti pizirughevat nin nani adi ku popo nan arik.
that they might seek for God, if perhaps they would feel after him, and find him, although, indeed, he is not far from every one of us.
28 Bar Kutellẹre ta tidimi la, tidin chinu ti diku, nafo na umong belle nan nya min, 'bar arik nono mere.
For in him we live, and move, and have our being: as also some of your own poets have said: For we his offspring are.
29 Barnanin arik nono Kutellẹ ari, na tiwa yene nafo Kutellẹ masin ugold ko usilva ko kutala, kona anit nake.
Therefore, being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhood is like gold, or silver, or stone, sculptured by art and the device of man.
30 Kubi kona anit yiru ilemong na Kutellẹ dinin su mine i su, [kubin sirti] na ana fuor nanin ba. Bar nanin nene Kutellee na woro anite vat ichin matiza manazan.
Yet the times of this ignorance God overlooked; but now, he commands all men everywhere to repent:
31 Amini na belin nari umong uwui din chinu na ama da su kogha ku kiwucho kidegen nin niti ulena ana fere, amini nafe unit une nuzun kisek [ukul]
because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world, in righteousness, by the man whom he has chosen, giving to all assurance of this, by having raised him from the dead.
32 Dana anit ilanza Bulus uworo unite fita nuzu kisek dana ana ku, amon mine tin na isisila ghe. Amon nin belinghe adak ilonliri tutun.
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; others said: We will hear you again concerning this matter.
33 Dana ibelle nanin Bulus tinna ahgha.
And so Paul departed from among them.
34 Vatninnanin among dofuno Buluse ku inin yinna nin liru kitenen Isa. Nan nya nanit alena yinna nin Isa umong wa diku lisame Dionysius. Tutun umong uwani wadiku lisame Damaris nin na mong nan ghinu na iwa yinin sauyenu.
But certain men associated with him, and believed; among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
