Katwa Nono Katwa 17
1 Inanin wachinu nigbiri nigbir Amphipos nin Apollolonia ma inin da kagbiri Thessalonika. Kikane wadi kiti zursuzu na Yahudawa
NOW when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where 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, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of 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”.
Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is 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 consorted with Paul and Silas; and 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 Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and 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.
And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are 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 hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cæsar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
8 Dana lipitin nanite da kitikirum nin nago ka gbiri nibinai mine nana kan.
And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, 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 when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they 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 unto Berea: who coming thither 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 more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those 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; also of honourable women which 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 had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
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.
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
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 they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, 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 waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
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.
Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with 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.
Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto 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 unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
20 Idin dursuzu imong ilengena tiyirimung b, bar nani iyadi nari tiyinin iyapimonari ine.
For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
21 Anitin Athans nin nalena idi kusari kone ne isosinku, idinin so ilaza uliru upese.
(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either 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, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
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 passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto 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 that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth 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.
Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth 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 hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
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 should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be 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 certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Barnanin arik nono Kutellẹ ari, na tiwa yene nafo Kutellẹ masin ugold ko usilva ko kutala, kona anit nake.
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
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.
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where 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 hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath 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: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
33 Dana ibelle nanin Bulus tinna ahgha.
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.
Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
