Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas xiꞌkꞌow pa taq ri tinimit Anfípolis xuqujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Apolonia, xoꞌpan kꞌa pa ri tinimit Tesalónica, chilaꞌ kꞌo wi jun Sinagoga ke ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Ri Pablo naqꞌatal che, xeꞌ pa ri mulim ibꞌ pa ri Sinagoga, chilaꞌ xkꞌojiꞌ wi oxibꞌ qꞌij rech uxlanem, xutzijoj ri utzij ri Dios ri tzꞌibꞌatalik xuqujeꞌ xuꞌtaqchiꞌj ri winaq chuchꞌobꞌik rij ri tzꞌibꞌatal pa ri tyoxalaj wuj.
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.”
Xuqꞌalajisaj ri tzijotal loq chirij ri Mesías, chi kuriq na kꞌax xuqujeꞌ kakꞌastaj na chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ. Xubꞌij chike: Ri Jesús ri kintzijoj chiꞌwe are Mesías.
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.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel are xkita ri xbꞌix chike, xekojonik, xoꞌk che kachiꞌl ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas, xoꞌk xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ e kꞌi achyabꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj xuqujeꞌ ixoqibꞌ ri nim keqeleꞌn.
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.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel xpe etzelal pa kanimaꞌ rumal ri xkꞌulmatajik, xeꞌkimulij ri winaq chubꞌanik etzelal. Xoꞌk pa rachoch ri Jasón xkitzukuj ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas rech keꞌkichararej loq keꞌkikꞌam la chikiwach ri winaq.
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,
Man xeꞌkiriq ta kꞌut chilaꞌ. Rumal riꞌ are xkijururej bꞌik ri Jasón xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj kojonelabꞌ chik che kikꞌexwach xeꞌkikꞌam bꞌik chikiwach ri qꞌatal tzij rech ri tinimit. Xkiraq kichiꞌ xkibꞌij: Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas tajin kakikoj kꞌaxkꞌolal chikixoꞌl ri winaq pa ronojel ri uwachulew e kꞌo kꞌu waral chanim tajin kakisach ri kichomabꞌal ri qawinaq.
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
Ri Jasón xuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj we winaq ri pa ri rachoch, we winaq riꞌ uꞌkꞌulel ri César rumal cher kakinaꞌtaj jun taqanel chik ubꞌiꞌ Jesús.
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
Ri winaq xuqujeꞌ ri e qꞌatal taq tzij are xkita we jastaq riꞌ man xkiriq taj jas xkibꞌano.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ri e qꞌatal taq tzij xkibꞌij che ri Jasón xuqujeꞌ chike ri nikꞌaj kojonelabꞌ chi rajawaxik kakitoj jun pwaq rumal ri xkibꞌano, xkitoj kꞌut, kꞌa te riꞌ xetzoqopix bꞌik.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
Che ri chaqꞌabꞌ riꞌ, ri kojonelabꞌ xeꞌkitaq bꞌik ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas pa ri tinimit Berea, are xoꞌpan chilaꞌ xeꞌbꞌe pa ri Sinagoga.
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.
Ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Berea kꞌo na xetow tzij chikiwach ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Tesalónica, xkita ri utz laj tzij rukꞌ kiꞌkotemal, xuqujeꞌ qꞌij chi qꞌij xkisolij ri utzij ri Dios ri tzꞌibꞌatalik rech jeriꞌ xkilo we qas tzij ri kakitzijoj ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Silas o man tzij taj.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
E kꞌi kꞌu winaq aꞌj Israel xekojonik, xekojon xuqujeꞌ achyabꞌ, ixoqibꞌ, nimaꞌq keqeleꞌn ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
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.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun winaq aꞌj Israel ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Tesalónica, are xkito chi ri Pablo tajin kutzijoj ri utzij ri Dios pa ri tinimit Berea, xebꞌe je laꞌ xeꞌkimulij winaq rech kakibꞌan kꞌax che ri Pablo.
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
Are xkita ri kojonelabꞌ aninaq xkitaq bꞌik ri Pablo pa ri tinimit ri kꞌo chuchiꞌ ri Plo. Ri Silas kꞌut rachiꞌl ri Timoteo xekanaj kan pa ri tinimit.
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.
Ri Pablo xkꞌam bꞌik xeꞌyoꞌq kan pa ri tinimit Atenas kumal nikꞌaj achyabꞌ kꞌa te riꞌ xetzalij loq we achyabꞌ riꞌ chikikowixik ri Silas rachiꞌl ri Timoteo rech keꞌbꞌe rukꞌ ri Pablo chubꞌanik ri kipatan. Ri Pablo kꞌo pa ri tinimit Atenas
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
Ri Pablo are e rayeꞌm apanoq ri Silas rachiꞌl ri Timoteo koꞌpanik, xbꞌisonik are xril ri kikꞌiyal ri e bꞌanom taq dios ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit.
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.
Xaq jeriꞌ xeꞌ pa ri Sinagoga xutij chuqꞌabꞌ pa tzij kukꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj ri kakixiꞌj kibꞌ cho ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ ri winaq ri kakimulij kibꞌ pa ri kꞌayibꞌal.
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.
Xuchꞌoꞌqꞌ uwach ri kichomanik ri achyabꞌ epicúreo xuqujeꞌ estoico. ri sibꞌalaj kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal. Xutzijoj ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ ri ukꞌastajibꞌal wach chike, ri winaq are xkita ri xubꞌij, ri Pablo xkibꞌij: ¿Jas karaj kubꞌij we tzijonel laj achi rukꞌ ri jaljoj taq uchomanik? Nikꞌaj winaq xkibꞌij: Are kutzijoj kibꞌiꞌ e dios rech juleꞌ taq tinimit chik.
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?
Xkikꞌam kꞌu bꞌik ri Pablo pa ri areópago chikiwach ri nimaq taq kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri tinimit, xkibꞌij che chatzijoj chaqe we kꞌakꞌ kꞌutuꞌn ri awukꞌaꞌm loq.
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
Jaljoj ri jastaq ri katzijoj, kaqaj kꞌut kaqato jas kel kubꞌij ri kabꞌij.
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.
(Ri winaq ri keꞌl pa ri tinimit Atenas, xuqujeꞌ ri kubꞌe solin pa ri tinimit riꞌ, kikꞌatik kakitzijoj rij kꞌakꞌ taq chomanik).
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.
Xtakꞌiꞌ kꞌu ri Pablo chikiwach ri kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri winaq xubꞌij: Achyabꞌ aꞌj Atenas, kinwilo chi sibꞌalaj jeqel ikꞌuꞌx chupam ri kibꞌano.
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.
Are tajin kinbꞌin pa ri tinimit, xinwil ri ukꞌiyal ri kꞌolibꞌal ri kixqꞌijilaꞌn wi, cho kꞌu ri jun tzujbꞌal sipanik tzꞌibꞌatal we tzij riꞌ: “Che ri Dios ri man etaꞌmatal ta uwach.” We Dios riꞌ, ri kiqijilaꞌj ri man iwetaꞌm ta uwach, areꞌ waꞌ ri kintzijoj.
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.
Are Dios ri xbꞌanow ri uwachulew, xuqujeꞌ ronojel ri kꞌo choch, are Rajaw ri kaj ulew. Areꞌ man kakꞌojiꞌ ta pa taq ri ja qꞌijilaꞌbꞌal yaktal kumal ri winaq.
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.
Man kiqꞌabꞌ ta winaq kapataninik, maj urajawaxik. Rumal cher areꞌ yoꞌwinaq kikꞌaslemal xuqujeꞌ ruxlabꞌal ronojel ri kꞌolik, xuqujeꞌ uyoꞌm ri kajawataj chike.
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,
Xa jun achi xukoj che kikꞌiyarisaxik ri winaq cho ri uwachulew. Kꞌamajaꞌ kutik ri achi are xuchomaj jas jeꞌ kubꞌan na jas jeꞌ kanoꞌjin na, xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌolibꞌal ri kakꞌojiꞌ wi na.
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.
Ri urayibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx ri Dios chike ri winaq pa ronojel tinimit are chi kakitereneꞌj ri ubꞌe ri Dios, kakitzukuj ri Dios, pune man naj taj kꞌo wi ri Dios, chaqe.
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.’
“Rumal re ri Dios uj kꞌaslik, uj kꞌolik, kujsalabꞌik.” Jetaq ta ne ri xkibꞌij ri xetzꞌibꞌan ri qꞌajajem tzij iwukꞌ: “Uj uj rijaꞌl ri Dios.”
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.
Saq ri xkibꞌij, rumal laꞌ man kuya taj kaqachomaj chi ri Dios, xa jun tzꞌaq ri bꞌanom kumal che qꞌana o saq pwaq kumal ri ajchakibꞌ, man che ta abꞌaj bꞌantal wi.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
Ojer kanoq ri Dios xuꞌkuy ri winaq are xkibaꞌn we jastaq riꞌ, rumal cher man kꞌo ta ketaꞌmabꞌal, kamik kꞌut kataqanik chi konojel ri winaq rech ri uwachulew, kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx, kakiqꞌil kibꞌ che ri kimak rech ketzalij rukꞌ Areꞌ.
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.”
Rumal chi ri Dios uchaꞌom jun achi ri jun qꞌijal kuqꞌat na tzij pa kiwiꞌ konojel ri winaq cho ri uwachulew, ri achi riꞌ xukꞌut chikiwach konojel ri winaq are xukꞌastajisaj chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
E kꞌo jujun winaq xetzeꞌnik are xkito chi ri Pablo kutzijoj chi kekꞌastaj ri kaminaqibꞌ, e kꞌo xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj xkibꞌij: Jun qꞌijal chik katzijoj chaqe we ri.
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Xtaniꞌ kꞌu ri Pablo che tzijonem kukꞌ ri winaq.
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
E kꞌo kꞌu jujun winaq xoꞌk che rachiꞌl, xekojonik, xkojon xuqujeꞌ jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Dionisio, jun kꞌamal bꞌe ke ri winaq, jun ixoq ubꞌiꞌ Damaris, xuqujeꞌ nikꞌaj winaq chik.
