Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Nabhafiha hu Amfipoli na hu Apolonia, bhafiha hu Thesalonike uhwo hwali nisinagogi lya Bhayahudi.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
U Paulo azobheleye abhale amwabho ensiku zitatu ezyelutuyo adalisanyaga nabho mwibhangili.
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.”
Abhabhuulaga ezyazisimbilwe mwibhangili huje yaasimbilwe yu Yesu aje ailabha, aifwa nantele aizyuha afume hwa bhafwe yayunu yembabhuula enongwa zyakwe”
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.
Ayahudi bhamo na Giriki nabhasai bhabhinji bheteha bhafwata uPaulo.
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.
Lelo Ayahudi bhamo bhabhasuliha abhantu bhabhinji a bhahusokoni bhaalole ukero, bhaivamila enyumba ya Jason, aje bhabhakhate aPaulo nu Sila aje bhabhalete hwa bhantu.
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,
Naseebhabhaga bhakhata u Jasoni na bhanji bhabhatwala hwa ofisa bhe muji bhaga abhantu bhabhagaluzinye ensi bhafishile nuhuli,
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
Abhalume ebha uJasoni abhakaribizizye bhananganya esheria ya Kaisari, bhaiga ahweli umfumu uwamwabho ahwitwa yu Yesu”
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
Ipuga lya maofa nabhahumvwa isho bhasingana umwoyo.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Nabhega hela zye ulinzi hwa Jasoni bhabhaleshela aje basogolaje.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
Nu siku bhatuma uPaulo nu Sila hu Beroya. Nabhafiha hula bhahinjila mwisinagogi 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.
Abhantu bhaala bhaali wenjele bhatejelezyaga zyabhayanga, a Paulo nu Sila, nazichunguzye aje zyazisimbilwe zyezyo.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Abhinja bhahitishe na bhashi abheshi Giriki bhabhali nulusuliho nalume bhahinji.
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.
Ayahudi bha hu Thesalonike bhahumvwizye huje aPaulo nu Sila bhali uwho bhazumbilila bhabhafuatile nalete efujo hwabhantu.
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
U Paulo bhasogozya nanali hwidala lye idimi igosi, lelo u Barnaba nu Timotheo bhasagala 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.
Aholo bhala bhatwalile uPaulo hu Athene, u Paulo wabhalajizya huje uSila nu Timotheo bhenze nanali.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
U Paulo avitilwe tee mumwoyo gwakwe shalolile evifwa vinji munsi ela.
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.
U Paulo adalisanyaga nabho ayahudi shila lisiku mwisinagogi na husokoni.
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.
Lelo Abhefalsafa abha Waepikureo na Waestoiko bhabhalila na bhanje bhabhinji. Bhaga unu umuntu ayanga zyenu uduvya bhamo bhaga, abhoneha alumbilila ezya Ngulubhi ujeni,” alumbilila ezya Yesu nu luzyuho.
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?
Bhamwega uPaulo bhaleta hwa Areopago, bhaga, “Tibhajiye azimanye emanyizyo zyaho ezyo empya zyumanyizya?
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
Uletile amambo amapya mumakutu getu. Tihwanzaje timanye nate zili neshi wili?”
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.
(Abhantu bha hu Athene bhasungwa atejelezye enongwa empya.)
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.
U Paulo wimilila hwa bantu bha Aeropago na huje amwe mubhantu mwahu Athene, muli bhe dini zye shila 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.
Nanashilaga uhwo humadhebu genyu endolile musimbile “HWA NGULUBHI YASIGA”. Eshi ane embaletela enongwa zyakwe uyo yamupuuta nahumanyee.
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.
Ungulubhi yabhuumbile ensi ne mwanya ne vintu vyonti siga akhala munyumba ezyapuutile zyazizengwilwe na makhono ga bhantu.
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.
Nantele siga abhombelwa namakhono umwene yatipela uwomi nevyenje vyonti.
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,
Ashilile hwa muntu umo abhabhisaiye abhantu outaratibu abheshele usiku na pasanya, eshisuku ne shisanya abhabhishiye ne mpaho mwamukhala.
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.
Eshi, bhahwanziwa huje bhamwanze Ungulubhi, nahumwaje umwene sigahutali nate.
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.’
Hwa mwene tijenda, tilya nabhe nu womi wetu, neshi shayanjile uteeli umo aje ate tili bhapapwe bhakwe.'
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.
Eshi, ate nkashele tilibhapapwe nu Ngulubhi setihwanziwa hulinganye Ngulubhi, nedhahabu, ne shaba, au nevifwani vyabhapunza vyavilingine wa bhantu.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
Emande abhanga aje siga azilola, eshi alajizya hwa bhantu bhonti huje bhalambe.
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.”
Eshi umwene abhishile isiku lyaibhalonga abhantu bhonti bila hubhonele umuntu Ungulubhi afumizye uYesu huje abhantu bhamwitishe uyazyusizye afume hwa bhafwe.
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
Abhantu bhahu Athene nabhuumvwa huje abhafwe bhazyuha, bhamo bhazihaki u Paulo bhagatitejelezye hani zyuyanga ezyo”
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Pamande uPaulo wabhaleha.
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Lelo bhamo bhahitiha, bhahamwitiha uYesu ahali u Dionisio Mwareopago, nushi itawa yu Damari na bha mwabho.
