Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Hangi nai akakila mu isali nia Amfipoli ni Apolonia, ai azile kupikiila kisali nika Thesalonike naza likoli i tekeelo nila Ayahudi.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Anga ni yili ntendo ang'wa Paulo, wakalongola kitalao, nu ku itungo nila mahiku ataatu nia luhiku nula kusupya ai witambuuye nienso migilya a ukilisigwa.
3 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”
Ai watulaa uku akunukuilya u ukilisigwa nu kuaganuila kina, ai imutakile uKristo wagishe ni uugwa kiuka hangi kupuma ku ashi. Ai uatambuie, “Uyu uYesu nikumutambuila i nkani niakwe yuyo Kristo.”
4 Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.
Ang'wi nia Ayahudi ai apemekile nu kihanguila nu Paulo nu Sila, palung'wi ni Agiriki akulya Itunda, asungu idu aokole ni idale ikulu nila antu.
5 But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
Kuiti ang'wi a Ayahudi ni shanga ahuiie, nai izuiwe nu wilu, ai alongoe ki isoko nu kuahola ang'wi a antu ni abibi, akalundiila iumbi nila antu palung'wi, nu kusasha minyomo mu kisali, uugwa akaligilinkiilya ito nilang'wa Jason, aze aloilwe kua amba uPaulo nu Sila iti kualeta ntongeela ya antu.
6 When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
Kuiti nai aka aulya, ai amuambile u Yasoni ni ang'wi a anyandugu auya nu kuatwala ntogeela a aofisa nia kisali, azekua iyogo, “Awa i agoha naza aupiue u unkumbigulu apika kupikiila kunu ga.
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
Agoha awa naza asingiigwe nu Yasoni akulitumuila ilagiilyo lang'wa Kaisari, akuligitya ukoli mutemi mungiiza nuitangwaa Yesu.”
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
Iumbi ni a ofisa nia kisali nai akija i makani nanso, ai ingiiwe nu mitumbo.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ze yakilaa kutula akondya kuhola i mpia nia nsailo a usunja kupuma kung'wa Yason ni auya, ai a alekee alongole.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
Utiku nuanso anya ndugu ai amulagiiye uPaulo nu Sila ku Beroya. Hangi nai akapika kung'wanso akalongola mi itekeelo nila Ayahudi.
11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
Antu awo ai atula akete u ulingi ukulu kukila i antu awo nia ku Thesalonike, ku nsoko ai akete nu ukondaniili nua kusingiilya u lukani ku mahala ao, nu kupukania u ukilisigwa kila mahiku iti kihenga anga ize imakani nai aganuwe uu nili.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Ku lulo idu ao ai ahuiie, aze amoli asungu niakete u upemi ukulu nua Kigiriki ni agoha idu.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.
Kuiti Ayahudi nia ku Thesalonike nai akalinga kina uPaulo ukutanantya lukani lang'wa Itunda uko ku Beroya, ai alongoe kuko nu kukinyiila ni uugwa nu kandiilya minyomo ku antu.
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
Ku ukau, i aluna akamutwala uPaulo ku nzila a luzi, kuiti uSila nu Timotheo akasaga pang'wanso.
15 But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
Awo i anya ndugu nai amutwae uPaulo ai alongoe nu ng'wenso kupikiila ku Athene, nai akamuleka uPaulo kuko, ai asingiiye i malagiilyo kupuma kitalakwe kina, uSila nu Timotheo apembye kitalakwe ku ukau ni ihumikile.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
Ni itungo nai ualindiie uko ku Athene, nkolo akwe ikatakigwa mukati akwe ku iti nai wihengile i kisali nai kizue i adudu idu.
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
Itigwa akitambulya mu itekeelo ni Ayahudi awo nai amukiye Itunda nu ku awo ihi nai utankanile ni enso kila luhiku mi soko.
18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
Kuiti ang'wi a alingi nia a Aepikureo ni Astoiko akamukungiilya. Ni auya akaligitya, “Ingi ki ntuni ukukiligitya uyu u muligitya nu mudabu? iAuya akaligitya, “Yigeelekile ukutanantya nkani niang'wa Itunda muziila.” ku nsoko ukutanantya nkani yang'wa Yesu nu wiukigwa.
19 They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
Akamohola uPaulo nu kumuleta ku Areopago, azeligitya, “Kuhumile kulinga uwu umanyisigwa uziila nuku uligitya?
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
Ku nsoko ukuleta makani maziila mu akutwi itu. Ku iti kuloilwe kulinga makani aya akete ndogoelyo kii?”
21 Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
(Ni antu ihi nia ku Athene palung'wi ni aziila ni amoli kitalao, itumila itungo nilao ang'wi mu uligitya nu kutegeelya migulya a ikani ni iziila.)
22 Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
Ku lulo uPaulo akimika pakati a antu nia ku Areopago nu kuligitya, Unyenye antu aku Athene, kihenga kina ingi antu a ikumbiko ku kila mpyani,
23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.
Kuiti mu ukili nua ki talane nu kugoza i intu nianyu nia kipoelya, nihengile makani nakilisigwe mu ling'wi ikumbikilo lanyu, likuligitya “KUNG'WA ITUNDA NI SHANGA UKUMUKILE.” Itigwa, nuanso ni mukumipolya ize shanga mulingile, yuyo niku mupikilya unyenye.
24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.
Itunda nai u umbile ihi ni kila i kintu ni kikoli mukati, kunsoko ingi Mukulu nua ilunde ni ihi, shanga uhumile kikie mu matekeelo nazipigwe ni mikono.
25 He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.
Hangi shanga wi ailigwa ga ni mikono a ana adamu anga kina uloilwe kintu kitalao, kuiti u ng'wenso mukola wi inkiilya antu upanga ni mihupo ni intu ingiiza yihi.
26 He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,
Ku kiila muntu ung'wi, ai uzipilye u ingu wihi ni antu ni ikiie migulya a usu nui ihi, hangi waka aikilya matungo ni mimbi mu nkika ni ikiie.
27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
Ku iti, atakiwe kumuduma Itunda, ni tai amupikiile nu kumulija, hangi ku kulu kuulu wikutili kuli ni kila ung'wi nu itu.
28 ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
Ki talakwe kikie, kigendaa nu kutula nu upanga nuitu, anga iti mutungi nuanyu ung'wi nua ilumbiilyo nai uligitilye 'ki atuugwa akwe.'
29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.
Ku lulo anga itule usese ingi atuugwa ang'wa Itunda, shanga kutakiwe kusiga kina u itunda ingi anga zahabu, ang'wi shaba, ang'wi magwe, adudu nu sesilwe ku ulingi ni masigo a antu.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
Ku lulo, Itunda ai ukilagiiye i matungo ayo na upungu, kuiti itungili ulagiiye antu ihi kila kianza ile itunu.
31 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”
Iki ingi ku nsoko uikile luhiku nuika milamula ihi ku tai ane ku muntu naiza ai umuholanilye. Itunda ai upumilye i kulu kuulu na mumtu uyu ku kila muntu pang'wanso nai umiukilye kupuma kuashi.
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
Ni antu a Athene nai akija inkani nia kiukigwa ku ashi, ang'wi ao akamukuna uPaulo, ila i auya akaligitya, “Ku ukutegeelya hangi ku nkani nia ikani ili.”
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Ze yakilaa pang'wanso, uPaulo aka aleka.
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Kuiti ang'wi a antu ai ihanguie nu ng'wenso akahuiila, waze umoli uDionisio Mwareopago, nu musungu nuitangwaa Damari ni auya palungwi ni enso.
