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 Ampipolij o Apolonia, ap pwara don Tejalonik, waja jinakoke en Juj oko mi ia.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Pauluj ap kotilon on re’rail duen a kin wiawia o ian ir kapakaparok pena jan kijin likau kan ni ran en japat jilu.
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 kajaleda, me Krijtuj udan kalokolok o iajada jan ren me melar akan, o me Iejuj men et, me i kawewe on komail, me Krijtuj.
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 pojonla ap waroki on Pauluj i Jilaj, o pil men Krik lelapok me toto, o li jaupeidi 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 Juj oko pepeirindar, ap ukada ol jued kai, o kapokon irail pena o kapeida kanim o, o kapil pena im en Iajon, pwen wa ira don 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 jo diar ira da re ap waikelon don jaumaj akan en kanim o Iajon o jaulan kai indada: Mepukat kamokimo kidadar jappa, 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 Iajon kajamo ira er, o irail karoj kin tiakedi majan en Jija ni ar katitiki, me dene amen Nanmarki Iejuj.
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
Irail ari kamakaradar aramaj o jaumaj akan nan kanim o ni ar ronadar mepukat.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Irail lao aleer jan ren Iajon 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 jaulan kan madan kadarala Pauluj i Jilaj ni pon Peroa. Irail lao pwarado, ap kotilon on nan jinakoke en Juj 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 jan irail nan Tejalonik, pwe re pitipit aleer majan o pereperen kalelapokki kijin likau ni ran karoj, ma melel mepukat.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Ari, me toto irail pojonlar, li o ol en Krik kan kijan jaupeidi me toto ian.
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 Juj en Tejalonik ko lao roner, me Pauluj pil padapadak nan Peroa majan en Kot, irail ap kodo o kamakaradar aramaj 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 jaulan kan madan kadarala Pauluj, dene a pan kotidila ni oror. A Jilaj i Timoteuj mimieta waja 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 Pauluj akan kalua i lel Aten. Irail lao aleer kujoned on Jilaj o Timoteuj, me ira en pitipit ko don i, re ap jamalar.
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 Pauluj a kotin auiaui ira nan Aten kupura ap ola ni a majani 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 on Juj oko o me toun kaudok kan nan jinakoke pil wajan net, me a kotin padaki on, me kin pokon pena waja o ni ran akan karoj.
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 jaunpadak en Epikurioj o Jtoik kai ap akamai on i o akai indada: Da paupaulap men et men inda? O akai indada: Likamata i jaunpadak en kot en wai akan aki a padaki on irail ronamau en Iejuj o en aramaj 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 wai an Areopak indada: Kit jota pan kak ron 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 kajoi en wai pot, me kom wa don 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 waja o, kin jopijokki ar kajokajoi o roneron duen meakaroj 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 Pauluj kotida pon dol en marj majani: Komail ol oko en Aten, i kajauiadar, me komail kin majak 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 jili met, o kilekilaner omail jaraui kan, i ap diaradar pei jaraui eu, me intinidier poa: Japwilim en kot me jo diarokadar, me komail kin kaudoki on ap jaja i, i me I kin padapadaki on 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 jappa o audepa karoj i me Kaun en nanlan o jappa, nan a jota kotikot nan im en kaudok kan me aramaj 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 jota me kin upaki i p a en aramaj likamata a kotin anane meakot; pwe pein i kin kotin nene on karoj maur, o ajinok o meakaroj.
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 aramaj en jappa karoj kaparapar jan nta ta ieu, pwen kaukaujon nan jap karoj, o a kotin kiledier warai o wajan ar kaujon.
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 jota kin doo jan 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 jaunkaul pil indadar: Pwe kij a kitail karoj.
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 kijan Kot, kitail ender lamelame, me Kot rajon kold, de jilper, de takai, de dikedik eu, me aramaj lolekon diaradar.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
Ari, kot kotin kanonama on kitail ni anjaun atail rotorot. A anjau wet a kotin majani on aramaj karoj, ren kalula waja karoj.
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 jappa Ol amen, me a kotin katororedar ni tiak pun. A iet kilel, me a kotiki on aramaj karoj: A kotin kaiajadar i jan 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 ronadar duen mauredan me melar akan akai ap lalaue, a akai inda: Je men pur on ron jan komui duen met.
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Pauluj ari kotila jan 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 on i o pojonlar. Amen ir Dionijiuj kijan jaunkapun kan; a li amen, me ad a Damarij, o pil akai ian irail.
