Katwa Nono Katwa 17
1 Inanin wachinu nigbiri nigbir Amphipos nin Apollolonia ma inin da kagbiri Thessalonika. Kikane wadi kiti zursuzu na Yahudawa
Now when they had passed through the cities of Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to the city of Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 In wui na sabbath Bulus pira kitin zursu nafo usum. Tisati tat awa pichu ko ayeme asabbath. Amini wa dursuzo anite tipipinlitafe woro Isa amere mazamu Christi.
Paul, as his custom was, went to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures.
3 Amini wa nuna nanin nuzu litafe. anan yenjun bun na nyerti kiden ame Misiah maku akura fita nin lai tutun. Amini wabelin” Ule unite amere Isa ah Christi. Anaku amini na fita tutun, nanare anan yenjun bun nabelin”.
He was opening the scriptures and explaining that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead. He said, “This Jesus whom I proclaim to you is the Christ.”
4 Among a Yahudawa kikane yinna nin nilemon na Bulus belle inin chizina zurzu nin Bulus nin Sila. Kikane ma amon wadiku na Yahudawari ba nin umong uwani unan dortu Kutellẹ amini tutun wa yinin nin liru kitenen Isa, inanin wa chizina uzursu nin Bulus nin Sila.
Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, including a large number of devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women.
5 Amon adida na Yahudawe ayimine wa nana nin nanite bar na iwa yinin sauyenu nin lirulena Bulus durso nanin. Bar nanin i do idi yichila anit gbarda ini rususzo anit idofin nanin. Nin nanin inin, adide na Yahudawe nin pitirno anit gbardan inin ta jartizu. Ayahudawa ane tinna ido igan Jason kikana an Bulus nin Sila wasosinku. Iwa dinin su inutun Bulus nin Sila udas kitinanite.
But the unbelieving Jews, being moved with jealousy, took certain wicked men from the marketplace, gathered a crowd together, and set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they wanted to bring Paul and Silas out to the people.
6 Imini wa se an Bulus nin Sila wadi nan nya kilare b, inanin wa se Jason ma inin kifo gh. Ma inin wunughe nin among anan yinnusauyenu kiti nago ka gbiri. Inin belle” Anit alena idin fizi nibinai iyẹ ida kikanema tutyun.
But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain other brothers before the officials of the city, crying, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also.
7 Ame Jason yira nanin achau in game. Na idimun su kaisar ba. Inanin belle umong unit diku lisame Isa amere ugo kiden.
These men whom Jason has welcomed act against the decrees of Caesar; they say that there is another king—Jesus.”
8 Dana lipitin nanite da kitikirum nin nago ka gbiri nibinai mine nana kan.
The crowd and the officials of the city were disturbed when they heard these things.
9 Ago ka gbiri ta Jason na ikubu inin belle nanin ima ni nanin ikubua andi Bulus nin Sila fia nibinai nanite tutunba. Nin nanin ago ka gbiri in belle Jason nin nannan yinnu sauyenu nyha.
But after the officials made Jason and the rest pay money as security, then they let them go.
10 Nin kitik kan, anan yinnu sauyenu tinna inutuno Bulus nin sila nan nya Thesalika udu ka gbiri Berea. Dana Bulus nin Sila wa duru kikane, itinna i pira kitin zursuzu na Yahudawa.
That night the brothers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 Ayahudawan Thasalonika wa xinin su lazin liru Kutellẹ nafo Ayahudawan Berea ba, inanin wa lanza gigime uliru kitenen Isa. Kolome liri iwa gartu tipipin nin litimine iyinin kidegen liru ulena Bulus wa bellin kitenen Isa.
Now these people were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
12 Bar udursuzu Bulus Ayahudawa gbardan yinna nin Isa, nin na mong awani alena Ayahudawaba nin nanilime alena Ayahudawariba wa yinin nin gye.
Therefore many of them believed, including some influential Greek women and many men.
13 Nanin tutun Ayahudawa nan nya thasalonika lanza Bulus din durzsuzu uliru Kutellẹ kitenen Isa. Inanin wa do Uberea inin woro nin nanit alena idi kikane ibelle imong ilena imati ilanza ayi nin Bulus.
But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God at Berea, they went there and stirred up and troubled the crowds.
14 Among anan yinnu sauyenu yira Bulus ku udukuasri lkurawa kuda inan nya udu kan ka gbiri. Sila nin Timintawus wa soh nan nya Berea.
Then immediately, the brothers sent Paul to go to the sea, but Silas and Timothy stayed there.
15 Dana Bulus nin nanan yinnu sauyenu iwa duru ugefe kuraw, itinna pira ujirgin mmen kata udu kagbiri Antakia. Bulus ninworo nin nale ne dã ninṣhe.”Belle Sila ninTimintawus idak kitinin in Atantakia.” Anite ne chino Antakia ma inin kwila udu Berea.
Those who were leading Paul took him as far as the city of Athens. As they left Paul there, they received from him instructions for Silas and Timothy to come to him as quickly as possible.
16 Nan nya Athens Bulus soncha Sila nin Timotawus idak. Nan nya nani, achina a kilino ka gbiri. Amini wa lanza mmang kibinaime ba bar ka gbiri wadini chil(idol)
Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
17 Amini wa duo kitin zursu na Yahudawa anin lirina kitenen Isa nin na Yahudawa, ah tutun a Greek alena na sere ilemon na a Yahuda yinna mu. Amini wa nuzu udas atinna kolome liri anin lira kiti nanite alena awa zuro nan ghinu kikane.
So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and others who worshiped God, as well as in the marketplace with those who happened to be there.
18 Bulus zuro nin among anan dursuzu inanin wa dinin so iliru kitene nilemong na anit yinnamu. anite wa din yichi Among Epicorion, among iyichananin Stoiks. Inanin wa belin Bulus ku ilemong na inin yinnam, inin tiringhe iyeri ame yinnamu. Among woro nin natimine “nafo adinbellu kutellẹ kona tiyirimuba”. Inin woro bar na Bulus wa dinbelu nanin Isa naku amini nafita adimun ilai tutun.
But also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. Some said, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be one who calls people to follow strange gods,” because he was proclaiming Jesus and the resurrection.
19 Among tinna iyiraghe kiti kana kana adide ka gbiri din zursuzu. Dana iduru kikane inin woro nin Bulus, “Benle nari, iyapin imong ipese udin dursuzu anite?
They took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know this new teaching which you were speaking?
20 Idin dursuzu imong ilengena tiyirimung b, bar nani iyadi nari tiyinin iyapimonari ine.
For you bring some strange things to our ears. Therefore, we want to know what these things mean.”
21 Anitin Athans nin nalena idi kusari kone ne isosinku, idinin so ilaza uliru upese.
(Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing but either telling or listening about something new.)
22 Nin nani Bulus tina ayisina mbun mine anin woro.”Anit Athaan, yene anughe idinin nadini kan.
So Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I see that you are very religious in every way.
23 Mbele nanin bar, dana indinchinu mmini yene mmong ilengebna idin zazunu, mmini yene kon kubagadi nin lisa kona idin yichu kunin: KUTELLẸ KONA TIYIRUMU BA. Nene mma belin minu Kutellẹ kona idin zazunu na iyirughe ba.
For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found an altar with this inscription, “To an Unknown God.” What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.
24 Amere Kutelle ulena anake uyi nin nimog vat nan ny. Amere min koyang nan nya kitene nin kutin, na adin sozu kudaga kona inake nin na charaba.
The God who made the world and everything in it, since he is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples built with hands.
25 Na adimin so nimong na ina ke bar ameba Amre nani nari ulai nin ununfash, Amini na ni nanin mmong ilena idimung su.
Neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives people life and breath and everything else.
26 Kubin hizine, Kutellẹ nake unit nin wanim, nan nya minere ama maru anit nan nya iye na isozun ko kame kagbiri. Amini ana ti anit niti kubi
From one man he made every nation of people to live on the surface of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons and the boundaries of their living areas,
27 Ana dimun su anit yinin anit dinin sume. Bar inan piziraghe inin saghe. Kutellẹ dinin su ti pizirughevat nin nani adi ku popo nan arik.
so that they should search for God and perhaps they may feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us.
28 Bar Kutellẹre ta tidimi la, tidin chinu ti diku, nafo na umong belle nan nya min, 'bar arik nono mere.
For in him we live and move and have our being, just as one of your own poets has said, 'For we also are his offspring.'
29 Barnanin arik nono Kutellẹ ari, na tiwa yene nafo Kutellẹ masin ugold ko usilva ko kutala, kona anit nake.
Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the qualities of deity are like gold, or silver, or stone—images created by the art and imagination of man.
30 Kubi kona anit yiru ilemong na Kutellẹ dinin su mine i su, [kubin sirti] na ana fuor nanin ba. Bar nanin nene Kutellee na woro anite vat ichin matiza manazan.
Therefore God overlooked the times of ignorance, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent.
31 Amini na belin nari umong uwui din chinu na ama da su kogha ku kiwucho kidegen nin niti ulena ana fere, amini nafe unit une nuzun kisek [ukul]
This is because he has set a day when he will judge the world in righteousness by the man he has chosen. God has given proof of this man to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
32 Dana anit ilanza Bulus uworo unite fita nuzu kisek dana ana ku, amon mine tin na isisila ghe. Amon nin belinghe adak ilonliri tutun.
Now when the men of Athens heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked Paul; but others said, “We will listen to you again about this matter.”
33 Dana ibelle nanin Bulus tinna ahgha.
After that, Paul left them.
34 Vatninnanin among dofuno Buluse ku inin yinna nin liru kitenen Isa. Nan nya nanit alena yinna nin Isa umong wa diku lisame Dionysius. Tutun umong uwani wadiku lisame Damaris nin na mong nan ghinu na iwa yinin sauyenu.
But certain men joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
