Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Ye vakilile ifikaja ifya mu Amfipoli ni Apolonia, vakisile mpaaka mulikaja lya Thesalonie lino lilyale nava sinagogi ava Yahudi.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Ndavule lulyale lwiho lwa Paulo, alyalutike kuvanave, na kunsiki ughwa fighono fiitatu ifya Sabati pe akapuling'ana na voope vwimila u vulembe.
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.”
Aava ikuvavalulila uvulembi na piuvolelela kuuti, lulyanoghile ukiliste kupumuka kange kusyuka kange kuhuma kuvafue. Akavavula, “U Yesu uju niuvavula imola sa mwene ghwe kilisite”
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.
Vamo avayahudi vaaghelilue na pilungana nu Paulo nu Sila, palikimo nava Giriki vano vikufunya Kwan Nguluve, avamama vinga avagholofu ni kipugha ikivaha ikya vanhu.
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.
Looli vamo ava Yahudi vano navalyitike, vano valyamemile igila, valyalutile kulighulilo na pikuvatola avanhu vamo napikuvatola avahosi, vakakong'ania ilipugha lya vanhu palikimo, na kukwambusia ulunjughanjugha mu likaja, kange vakajigulukila inyumba ja Jason, vakalondagha vavakole u Paulo nu Sila ulwakuuti vavalete pavulongolo pa vanhu.
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,
Loli yevavakunilue vakankola u Yasoni navamo avanyoloolo avenge na pikuvatwala pavulongolo avagoyo ava mulikaja pe vaajeghelagha, “Avaghosi ava vano vasyetulinie iisi vafiile mpauno kange,
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
Avaghosi ava vino vakambilivue nu Yasoni vinangania indaghilo ja Kaisari, viiti kuale uNtua ujunge juno itambulivua Yesu”
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
Ilipugha lya vagoyo vakikaja ye vapulike isio, pevakava night ngananio.
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ye vamalile kutola indalama sino siling'ine vuloleli kuhuma kwa Yasoni na vange, vakavalekesia valutaghe.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
Ikilo jila avanyalukolo vakamwomwile u Paulo nu Sila ku Beroya. Ye vafikile kula vakaluta munyumba ija kufunyila ija va Yahudi.
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.
Avanhu vala valyale vumofu kukila avanhu vala ava ku Thesalonike, ulwakuva valitavuile kukulyupila ilisio muluhala luvanave, kulolela amalembe ifighono fyooni ulwa kuuti valole kuuti amasio ghano ghalyajovilue fyeghalivuo.
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Ku uluo avinga muvanave valyitike, mwevakava nava kimama avanyangelo imbaha isa ki Giriki navava ghosi vinga.
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.
Looli ava Yahudi ava ku Thesalonike yevakaguile kuuti u Paulo ipulisia ilisio lya Nguluve ukuo kuku Beroya, vakaluta ukuo na kuhovalesia kange kutengula ulunjughanjugha kuvanhu.
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
Ng'aning'ani, avanyalukolo vakan'twala u Paulo kusila ija lisumbe, looli u Sila nu Timotheo vakasighala 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.
Avanyalukolo vala vano vakan'twalile u Paulo vakaluta naghwope m'paka ku Athene, ye vamulekile u Paulo kula, valyupile indaghilo kuhuma kwa mwene kuuti, u Sila nu Timotheo visaghe kwa mwene ng'ani ng'ani kyongo.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
Unsiki ghuno vakavaghulilagha kula ku Then, inumbula ja mwene vakajikalisie mun'kate mwa mwene ndavule alyalolile ilikaja ndavule ghulyamemile ifihwani finga.
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.
Pa uluo vakapuling'ana munyumba ijakufunyia nava Yahudi vano vakifunyagha kwa Nguluve na kuvooni vaala pano vakatang'ine navoope ifighono fyooni kulighulilo.
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.
Looli vamo ava Falsafa ava ku va Waepikureo nava Wastoiko vakapela. Navange vakaati, “Kye kiki kino ijova unjovaji un'debe? Avenge vakaati, “Jihufia idalikila imola ja Nguluve umesia,” ulwakuuva idalikila imola ija Yesu na kusyuka.
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?
Vakan'tola u Paulo na pikuntwala ku Areopago, vakaati, “Tukagula kukulumanya ululaghilo ulu ulupia luno ghujova?
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
Ulwakuva ghuleta amasio amapia mumbughulutu situ. Kurt uluo tulonda kukagula kuuti amasio agha ghalindani?”
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.
(Na vaanhu vooni ava ku Athene palikimo navahesia vano pwevale kuvanave, vaghumanyile unsiki ghuvanave ughu kujova na kupulikisia ilisio ilipia.)
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.
Pa uluo u Paulo akima pakate na kate pa vaanhu ava ku Areopago na kuuti, “Umue mwe vanhu vaku Athene, nikuvagha kuuti muli vaanhu vano vikela kwitika kumanguluve,
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.
Ulwakuva munenihingile une na kulola ku ifiinu finu fino mukufunya, nighavwene amasio ghano ghalembilue ku fimo ifitekelelo fiinu, ghiiti, “KWA NGULUVE JUNO NAIMANYIKIKA”. Pa uluo, ujuo juno mukufunya kisila kukagula, ghwe ujuo juno nikuvavula umue.
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.
U Nguluve juno alyavumbile Lisa ni kinu kino mwekilimwekili mun'kate, ulwakuva ghwe Mutwa ghwa vulanga ni iisi, naiwesia pikukala munyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila sino sitendilue namavoko.
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.
Kange na ivombua na mavoko ulwakuuti ilonda ikiinu kivanave umwene jujuo ikuvapela avanhu uvwimi nu mwuuja ni fiinu fyooni ifiinge.
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,
Kuhumila u munhu jumo, aalyavombile mukisina kyooni ikya vanhu vano vikukalapamaso agha iisi, pe akavavikila amasiki nu vusililo uvwa fisala fino fikukala.
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.
Mu uluo, vilondua kukun'kagula unguluve, kuuti van'fikile na kukumwagha, kyang'ani nalikutali nambe nhu jumo ghweeni.
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 mwene tukukala, tughenda nakuva nu vwimi vwitu, ndavule un'tunzi ghwinu ughwa lishairi yeatileyeatile 'tulivaholua va mwene.'
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.
Ku uluo, ndavule tulivaholua va Nguluve, nalunoghile kusagha ilitekelo lilindavule isahabu, ni shaba, na mavue, fihwani kino kikahongolilue vunofu namasaghe gha vanhu.
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
Mu uluo, u Nguluve alyjikile Kimmie amasiki agha vuyasu, looli lino ilaghila avanhu vooni valate.
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.”
Ulwakuva avikile ikighono kind alyale ikujihigha iisi ija kyang'ani kwakwa munhu juno alya n'saluile. U Nguluve alyahumisie uvwakyang'ani kwa munhu uju kange pala umunhu juno alyansyusisie akahumile kuvafue.
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
Avanhu va ku Athene yevapulike imola ija kusyuka kuvafue, navala vamo vakan'syojuile u Paulo, avenge vakaati “Tukukupulikisia kange kumola iji”
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
Apuo, u Paulo akavaleka.
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Looli avanhu vamo valyale ikinu kimo vakitika, pwe akale u Dionisio Mwereopago, nu mama Juno itambulua Damari na vange palikimo navene.
