Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Na bho bhapetili mu miji ghya Amfipoli ni Apolonia, bhahidili mpaka mji ghwa Thesalonike ambabho kwa jhele ni sinagogi lya bhayahudi.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Kama kya jhijhele kawaida jha Paulo akalota kwa bhene, na kwa muda ghwa magono madatu gha sabato ajadiliene nabhu juu jha maandiku.
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.”
Ajhele akabhafungulila maandiku ni, kubhajhelesya kujha jhilondekeghe Kristu atesekayi ni kisha kufufuka kabhelel kuhoma kwa bhafu. Abhajobhili, “Ojho Yesu jha nikabhajobhela habari sya muene ndo Kristu.”
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.
Baadhi jhe Bhayahudi bhashawishiki ni kuungana ni Paulo ni Sila pamonga ni Bhagiriki bhachamungu, bhamama bhingi bhaongofu ni likundi libhaha lya bhanu.
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.
Lakini baadhi jha Bhayahudi bhabhiamini lepi, bhabhamemi bhwifu, bhalotili kusoko ni kubhatola baadhi jha bhanu bhaovu, bhabhongene umati bhwa bhanu pamonga ni kusababisya ghasia mjini, kisha bhakaivamila nyumna jha jasoni bhakalonda kubhakamula Paulo ni Sila ili kubhaleta palongolo pa bhanu.
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,
Lakini bho bhabhakofili bhakan'kamula Yasoni ni baadhi jha bhalongomunu bhangi nikubhapeleka mbele jha maofisa bha mji, bhakapiga kelele, “Abha bhagosi bhabhupenduili ulimwengu bhafikili mpaka khoni kabhele.
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
Bhagosi abha bhabhakaribisibhu ni Yasoni bhakaiharibu sheria jha kaisari, bhijobha ojhe mfalme jhongi jhaikutibhwa Yesu.”
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
Umati ni maofisa bha mji bho bhapeliki mambo agha bhajhingibhu ni bhuogha.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Baada jha kujha bhamakutola hela jha thamani jha ulinzi kuhoma kwa Yasoni ni bhangi bhabhalikisi bhalotayi.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
Kiru khela bhalongobhe bhandaghisi Paulo ni Sila Beroya. Na bhobhafikiri khola bhalotili mu sinagogi lya Bhayahudi.
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.
Bhanu bhalabha jhele bhenye werevu mbhaha kulikobhala bhanu bha Thesalonike, kwandabha bhajhele ni utayari bhwa kulipokela lilobhi kwa akili sya bhene, ni kuchungusya maandiku khila ligono ili kulola kama malobhi agha ghabhajobhibhu ndo kyaghajhele.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Kwa ejho bhingi bha bhene bhakyeriri bhakiweno bhadala bhenye ushawishi mbaha ghwa Bhagiriki ni bhagosi bhingi.
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.
Lakini Bhayahudi bha Thesalonike bho bhagunduili kwamba Paulo itangasya lilobhi lya k'yara okhu Beroya, bhalotili okhu ni kuchochela ni kisha kubhwandisya ghasia kwa bhanu.
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
Manyata, bhalongomunu bhakampeleka Paulo ku njela jha nyanja, lakini Sila ni Timotheo bhasiele pala.
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.
Bhala bhalongo bhabhampeliki Paulo bhalotili naku hadi Athene, bhandekili Paulo okhu, bhapokili malaghisu kuhoma kwa muene kujha, Sila ni Timotheo bhahidayi kwa muene kwa haraka kyajhibhwesekana.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
thene, roho jha muene jhadadisibhu mugati mwa muene kwa jinsi kya abhubhwene mji kya abhumemili sanamu simehele.
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.
Efyo akajadiliana mu sinagogi ni Bhayahudi bhala bhabhamehi K'yara ni kwa bhala bhoha bhaabhonene nabhu kila ligono mu 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.
Lakini baadhi jha bhanafalisafa bha Bhaepikureo ni Bhastoiko bhakan'kabili. Ni bhangi bhakajobha, “Kiki kyaaka kijobha munu ojho n'jobhajhi n'dele? Bhangi bhakajobha, “Jhibhonekana ihubiri habari jha K'yara n'hesya” kwandabha ihubiri habari jha Yesu ni ufufuo.
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?
Bhakan'tola Paulo ni kundeta Areopago, bhakajobha, Twibhwesya kumanya agha mafundisu mapya gha wilongela?
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
Kwa ndabha wileta mambo mahesiya mu mbol'ok'oto sya tete. Henu, twilonda kumanya mambo agha ghana maana gani?”
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 bhanu bhoha bha Athene pamonga ni bhahesya bha bhajhele nabhu, bhitumila muda bhwa bhene aidha kwa kulongela ni kup'elekesya juu jha lijambo lipya.)
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.
Henu, paulo akajhema pagati pa bhanu bha Areopago ni kujobha, “Enyi bhanu bha Athene nibhuene kujha muenga ndo bhanu bha dini kwa kila namna,
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.
Kwani kwa kupetela kwa nene ni kulola fenu fya muenga fya kuabud, nighabhuene malobhi gha ghalembibhu mu madhabahu ghinu, ghijobha, “KWA K'YARA JHA AMANYIKENE LEPI.” Efyo basi ojhu jha mukamwabudu pasipokumanya ndo jhanikabhajulisha muenga.
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.
K'yara jhaabhombili bhulimwengu ni kila khenu kya kijhele mugati kwakujha ndo Bwana ghwa mbingu ni nchi ibhwesya lepi kutama mu mahekalu gha ghatengenesibhu ni mabhoko.
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.
Na itumikibhwa lepi ni mabhoko gha bhanadamu kana kwamba ilonda khenu kwa bhene kwani, muene akabhapela bhanu uzima ni pumzi ni fenu fengi fyoha.
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,
Kup'etela munu mmonga, aghabhombi mataifa ghoha gha bhanu bhabhitama panani pa uso bhwa dunia ni kubhabhekela nyakati ni mipaka mu maeneo gha bhatama.
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.
Henu, bhilondeka kundonda K'yara, ni yamkini bhamfikilayi ni kun'kabha, ni kwa bhuhakika ajhelepi patali ni khila mmonga bhitu.
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.’
kwa muene twitama twigenda ni kujha ni uzima bhwitu, kama vile mtunzi ghwa jhomu mmonga ghwa shairi bho ajobhili twebhazawa bha muene.
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.
Henu ikajhelayi tete twebhazaiwa bha K'yara, twilondeka lepi kufikiri kujha uungu ni kama dhahabu, au shaba, au maganga, sanamu jhajhichongibhu kwa ustadi ni mawazo gha bhanu.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
Henu, K'yara agudeme nyakati sela sya bhujinga, lakini henu iamuru bhanu bhoha kila mahali bhabhwesya kutubu.
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.”
Ejhe kwa ndabha abhekili ligono lya ilonda kujhihukumu dunia kwa haki kwa munu jhaan'chaguili. K'yara apisisi bhuhakika bhwa munu ojho kwa khila munu pala paamfufuili kuhoma kwa bhafu.
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 bhanu bha Athene bho bhap'eliki habari jha kufufulibhwa kwa bhafu, baadhi jha bhene bhan'dhihakili Paulo ila bhangi bhakajobha, Tukuup'elekesya kabhele kwa habari jha lijambo e'le.”
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Baada jha apu, Paulo akabhaleka.
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Lakini baadhi jha bhanu bhaungeneni muene bhakakiera, akajha ni Dionisio Mwareopago, ni N'dala jhaikutibhwa Dmari ni bhangi pamonga nabhu.
