Y Checho Y Apostoles Sija 17
1 YA anae guinen manmalofan inanaco Amfipolis yan Apolonia, manmato Tesalónica, anae guaja sinagogan Judios,
After Paul and Silas had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia they arrived at Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2 Ya si Pablo segun costumbreña, jumalom güije sija, ya tres sabado jaadingane sija ni y Tinigue.
As usual, Paul went into the synagogue and over the course of three Sabbaths he debated with them using the Scriptures.
3 Jadeclararayeja sija, na si Cristo nesesita ufamadese, ya ucajulo talo guinin y manmatae: ya este na Jesus ni y jusangane jamyo, güiya y Cristo.
He explained what the Scriptures meant, proving that the Messiah had to die and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I'm telling you about—he is the Messiah,” he told them.
4 Ya palo guiya sija manmanjonggue, ya mandaña yan si Pablo yan Silas: yan y mandeboto na Griego un dangculon manada; ya ti didide na manmagas na famalaoan.
Some of them were convinced and joined Paul and Silas, along with many Greek-speaking worshipers and some leading women of the town.
5 Lao y Judio sija pot y inigoñija, palo manaelaye na taotao gui mancanaya; ya mandaña un linajyan taotao jaatborota y siuda; ya maataca y guima Jason, ya maprocura manmaquecone sija juyong gui menan taotao.
But the Jews became jealous and with some rabble-rousers they gathered from the marketplace they formed a mob. They rioted in the town, and attacked Jason's house. They tried to find Paul and Silas so they could bring them before the people.
6 Ya anae ti manmasoda, macone si Jason yan palo gui mañelo guato gui manmagas y siuda, ya managang ilegñija: Este yuje sija y munafanaatlibes y tano, ya manmato güine locue;
When they couldn't find them they dragged Jason and some of the other believers before the town leaders, shouting, “These people are famous for causing trouble, turning the world upside down. Now they've come here,
7 Ni y jaresibe si Jason; ya todo este sija cumocontra y tinago Sesat; ilegñija na guaja otro ray, si Jesus.
and Jason has made them welcome in his house. They all defy Caesar's decrees, committing treason by saying there is another king called Jesus.”
8 Ya jaatborota todo y taotao yan y manmagas y siuda anae majungog este sija.
The people and the leaders of the town were very disturbed when they heard this.
9 Ya anae manmañule segurida gui as Jason yan y pumalo, manmasotta.
So they made Jason and the others post bail before they let them go.
10 Ya anae puenge enseguidas matago ni y mañelo si Pablo yan Silas para Berea; ya anae manmato, manjalom gui sinagogan y Judios.
The believers had Paul and Silas leave for Berea that very night. When they arrived in Berea they went to the Jewish synagogue.
11 Este sija mas manmauleg qui ayo iya Tesalónica, sa rumesibe y sinangan contodo y minalagoñija, yan matataetae y Tinigue cada jaane, para umalie cao magajet ayo sija.
The people there had a better attitude than those in Thessalonica in that they were very quick to accept the word, and every day they examined the Scriptures to make sure what they were told was right.
12 Enaomina megae guiya sija manmanjonggue; yan y manjulon locue na famalaoan Griego, yan y lalaje ti didide.
As a result many of them became believers, along with some highly-placed Greek women and men.
13 Lao y Judios Tesalónica anae jatungo na japredidica si Pablo y sinangan Yuus guiya Berea, manmato locue güije, ya manafangalamten yan manafaninestotba y linajyan taotao sija.
But when the Jews in Thessalonica heard that Paul was also spreading the word of God in Berea, they went there and caused the same kind of trouble, stirring up the crowds.
14 Ya enseguidas matago ni y mañelo si Pablo na ujanao asta y tase; lao si Silas yan Timoteo mañagaja güije.
Immediately the believers sent Paul to the coast, while Silas and Timothy remained behind.
15 Ya ayo y umadadaje si Pablo, macone asta Atenas; ya manresibe tinago para si Silas yan Timoteo, na ujalaguse guato guiya güiya, ya manmapos.
Those escorting Paul took him as far as Athens, and then returned with instructions from Paul to Silas and Timothy that they should join him there as soon as possible.
16 Ya mientras manninanangga as Pablo guiya Atenas, calamten y espirituña gui sanjalomña anae jalie y siuda na bula y idolos.
While Paul was waiting for them in Athens he was very troubled to see all the idolatry in the city.
17 Enaomina gui sinagoga jaadingane y Judio sija, yan y mandeboto na taotao sija, yan todo y asodaña gui plasa todo y jaane.
He debated in the synagogue with the Jews and those who worshiped God, as well as in the marketplace with those he happened to meet from day to day.
18 Ya palo ni y manmalate gui finanagüe y Epicureo yan Estoicosija, managuaguat yan güiya, ya palo ilegñija: Jafa cumequeilegña este na caducon cuicuentos? Otro palo ilegñija: Buente mannae notisia y nuebo na yuus; sa jasangane sija as Jesus, yan y quinajulo talo.
Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also argued with him. “What is he going on about?” they wondered. Others concluded, “He seems to be teaching about some foreign gods,” because he was speaking about Jesus and the resurrection.
19 Ya macone güe guato gui as Areopago, ilegñija. Siñajam intingo este y nuebo na finanagüe ni y unsasangan?
So they took him to the Areopagus, and asked him, “Please tell us about this new teaching that you're promoting.
20 Sa uunafanmanjujungogjam ni y güinaja ni tatnae injingog, enaomina manmalagojam intingo jafa estesija.
We're hearing from you things that sound odd to us, so we'd like to know what they mean.”
21 (Sa todo iya Atenas, yan y manaotao juyong ni y mañasaga güije, taya chechoñiñija na para ufanguentosja, yan para ufanecungog ni y nuebo na güinaja.)
(All the Athenians, including foreigners who lived there, spent their whole time doing nothing except explaining or listening to something new.)
22 Ayonae tumojgue si Pablo gui talo gui Areopago, ya ilegña; Jamyo ni y lalajen Atenas, julie na guefdeboto jamyo.
Paul stood up right in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “People of Athens, I notice you are very religious about everything.
23 Sa anae malofanyo, ya juatan jafa y inadoranmimiyo, jusoda gui un attat este na tinigue: PARA Y TI MATUNGO NA YUUS. Ayo y inadodoraja ni y ti intingo; güiya jusangangane jamyo.
As I was walking along, looking at your shrines, I found an altar that had the inscription, ‘To an Unknown God.’ This unknown God whom you worship is the one I'm describing to you.
24 Si Yuus ni y fumatinas y tano yan todo y güinaja ni y mangaegue gui sumanjalomña; güiya Señot gui langet yan y tano, ti sumasaga gui templo ni y finatinas canae;
The God who created the world and everything in it, the Lord of heaven and earth, doesn't live in temples we make.
25 Ni umasetbe ni y canae taotao sija, taegüije y guaja janesesita; sa güiya mannae todo linâlâ, yan jinagong, yan todo y güinaja;
He doesn't need to be served by us as if he needed anything, since he is the source of all life for every living being.
26 Ya güiya fumatinas unoja na jâgâ todo y nasion y taotao sija para ufañaga gui jilo y tano, jadetetmina tinancha y tiempoñija, yan y uttimon y saganñija;
From one man he made all the peoples who live on the earth, and decided beforehand when and where they should live.
27 Para ujaaligao y Señot, yaguin siña buente masiente ya umasoda güe, sa ti chago güe cada uno guiya jita.
God's purpose was that they should seek him, hoping they would reach out for him and find him—though he isn't far from any one of us.
28 Sa iya güiya nae utafanlâlâ yan utafangalamten, yan utafanguaja sustansiata; taegüije y palo gui poetan miyo, ilegñija: Sa jita locue y rasaña.
In him we live, move, and exist. Just as one of your own poets wrote, ‘We are his family.’
29 Yaguin jita y rasan Yuus, mungajit jumaso na y yiniusan Yuus parejo yan oro, pat salape, pat acho, pat y finatinas y jinason y taotao.
Since we are his family we shouldn't think that God is like gold, or silver, or stone, shaped by human artistry and thinking.
30 Ya ti jaconsidera si Yuus y tiempo anae manaetiningo; lao pago, manago na todo y taotao ufanmañotsot;
God disregarded people's ignorance in the past, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent.
31 Sa jatancho un jaane, ni y anae para ujusga ni y tininas, y tano, ni ayo na taotao y jatago; ni y mannae testimonio todo y taotao, sa janacajulo guinin y manmatae.
For he has set a time when he will rightly judge the world by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone that he is the one by raising him from the dead.”
32 Ya anae jajungog sija y quinajulo talo guinin y manmatae, palo manmanbotlea; ya y palo ilegñija: Injingog jao talo otro biaje, pot este.
Some of them laughed when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, while others said, “Please come back so we can hear more about this later.”
33 Ya ayonae mapos si Pablo gui entaloñija.
So Paul left them.
34 Lao palo mandaña guiya güiya, manmanjonggue: ya y palo güije sija, si Dionisio, taotao Areopago, yan un palaoan na y naanña Dámaris, yan palo mangachongñiñija.
A few men joined him and trusted in God, including Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, as well as a woman called Damaris, and some others.
