Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
IRA kotin weid nan Ampipolis o Apolonia, ap pwara dong Tesalonik, wasa sinakoke en Sus oko mi ia.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Paulus ap kotilong ong re’rail duen a kin wiawia o iang ir kapakaparok pena sang kisin likau kan ni ran en sapat silu.
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.”
A kotin padaki o kasaleda, me Kristus udan kalokolok o iasada sang ren me melar akan, o me Iesus men et, me i kawewe ong komail, me Kristus.
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.
O akai irail me posonla ap waroki ong Paulus i Silas, o pil men Krik lelapok me toto, o li saupeidi me kaidin me malaulau.
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.
A Sus oko pepeirindar, ap ukada ol sued kai, o kapokon irail pena o kapeida kanim o, o kapil pena im en Iason, pwen wa ira dong pokon o.
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,
Irail lao so diar ira da re ap waikelong dong saumas akan en kanim o Iason o saulang kai indada: Mepukat kamokimokidadar sappa, nan ira pil pwara dor met.
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
A Iason kasamo ira er, o irail karos kin tiakedi masan en Sisa ni ar katitiki, me dene amen Nanmarki Iesus.
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
Irail ari kamakaradar aramas o saumas akan nan kanim o ni ar rongadar mepukat.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Irail lao aleer sang ren Iason o me tei kan ar kapwa, re ap kadar ira la.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
A saulang kan madang kadarala Paulus i Silas ni pong Peröa. Irail lao pwarado, ap kotilong ong nan sinakoke en Sus oko.
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.
Mepukat me mau sang irail nan Tesalonik, pwe re pitipit aleer masan o pereperen kalelapokki kisin likau ni ran karos, ma melel mepukat.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Ari, me toto irail posonlar, li o ol en Krik kan kisan saupeidi me toto iang.
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.
A men Sus en Tesalonik ko lao ronger, me Paulus pil padapadak nan Peröa masan en Kot, irail ap kodo o kamakaradar aramas akan.
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
A saulang kan madang kadarala Paulus, dene a pan kotidila ni oror. A Silas i Timoteus mimieta wasa o.
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.
O me pelikid Paulus akan kalua i lel Aten. Irail lao aleer kusoned ong Silas o Timoteus, me ira en pitipit ko dong i, re ap samalar.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
A ni en Paulus a kotin auiaui ira nan Aten kupura ap ola ni a masani nan kanim o dikedik en ani rok ia.
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.
I ari kotin padaki ong Sus oko o me toun kaudok kan nan sinakoke pil wasan net, me a kotin padaki ong, me kin pokon pena wasa o ni ran akan karos.
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.
A saunpadak en Epikurios o Stoik kai ap akamai ong i o akai indada: Da paupaulap men et men inda? O akai indada: Likamata i saunpadak en kot en wai akan aki a padaki ong irail rongamau en Iesus o en aramas ar pan maureda.
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?
Irail ari ukada i o walang Areopak indada: Kit sota pan kak rong duen padak kap pot et, me koe kin kaweweda?
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
Pwe kasoi en wai pot, me kom wa dong kit, kit ari men weweki duen mepukat.
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.
Pwe toun Aten o men wai kan, me mi wasa o, kin sopisokki ar kasokasoi o rongerong duen meakaros me kap.
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.
A Paulus kotida pon dol en mars masani: Komail ol oko en Aten, i kasauiadar, me komail kin masak kaualap kot likam akan,
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.
Pwe ni ai koko sili met, o kilekilanger omail saraui kan, i ap diaradar pei saraui eu, me intingidier poa: Sapwilim en kot me so diarokadar, me komail kin kaudoki ong ap sasa i, i me i kin padapadaki ong komail.
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.
Kot me kotin wiadar sappa o audepa karos i me Kaun en nanlang o sappa, nan a sota kotikot nan im en kaudok kan me aramas wiadar.
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.
O sota me kin upaki i pa en aramas likamata a kotin anane meakot; pwe pein i kin kotin nene ong karos maur, o asingok o meakaros.
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,
O a kotin wiadar wein aramas en sappa karos kaparapar sang nta ta ieu, pwen kaukauson nan sap karos, o a kotin kileledier warai o wasan ar kauson.
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.
Pwe ren raparapaki Kot, ma ir kak pam o diar i, pwe a sota kin doo sang amen amen kitail.
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.’
Pwe i me kitail kin memaureki, o mokideki, o mimiaki, duen akai omail saunkaul pil indadar: Pwe kis a kitail karos.
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.
Ari, ma kitail kisan Kot, kitail ender lamelame, me Kot rasong kold, de silper, de takai, de dikedik eu, me aramas lolekong diaradar.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
Ari, kot kotin kanongama ong kitail ni ansaun atail rotorot. A ansau wet a kotin masani ong aramas karos, ren kalula wasa karos.
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.”
Pwe a kotin kileledier ran eu, me a pan kotin kadeika kida sappa Ol amen, me a kotin katororedar ni tiak pung. A iet kilel, me a kotiki ong aramas karos: A kotin kaiasadar i sang ren me melar akan.
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
Irail lao rongadar duen mauredan me melar akan akai ap lalaue, a akai inda: Se men pur ong rong sang komui duen met.
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Paulus ari kotila sang re’rail.
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
A ol akai waroki ong i o posonlar. Amen ir Dionisius kisan saunkapung kan; a li amen, me ad a Damaris, o pil akai iang irail.
