Acts 17
1 Now when they had walked through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they arrived at Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Paul amadi Silas-na Amphipolis amadi Apollonia phaoduna chatlaga Thessalonica-da lakle, mapham aduda synagogue ama leirammi.
2 Then Paul, according to custom, entered to them. And for three Sabbaths he disputed with them about the Scriptures,
Mahakki hounabi matung inna Paul-na synagogue aduda chatlammi. Potthaba numit ahumlak mapham aduda mahakna mising aduga Mapugi puyadagi neinaduna
3 interpreting and concluding that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead, and that “this is the Jesus Christ, whom I am announcing to you.”
Christtadi awaba khangba tai amadi sibadagi hinggatpa tai haiba adu sandokna taktuna utlammi. Mahakna hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida sandokliba Jisu asi Christta aduni.”
4 And some of them believed and were joined to Paul and Silas, and a great number of these were from the worshipers and the Gentiles, and not a few were noble women.
Jihudisinggi maraktagi khara aduga Tengban Mapubu kina chatchaba Greek-ki mi mayam amaga athoiba nupi mayam amagana thajaduna Paul amadi Silas-ka pulle.
5 But the Jews, being jealous, and joining with certain evildoers among the common men, caused a disturbance, and they stirred up the city. And taking up a position near the house of Jason, they sought to lead them out to the people.
Adubu Jihudising kharana kalakpadagi phattaba mi khara lambidagi khomjillaga kangbu ama semduna sahar adu irang houhalle. Aduga makhoina Paul amadi Silas-pu miyam mamangda puthoknaba Jason kouba nupa asigi yumda makhoina thomjinlammi.
6 And when they had not found them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers to the rulers of the city, crying out: “For these are the ones who have stirred up the city. And they came here,
Adubu makhoina makhoibu phangdrabada, makhoina Jason amadi thajaba mioi khara chingduna sahar adugi angambasinggi mamangda puraklaga laorak-i, “Taibangpanbu mathak makha olhalliba mising asi mapham asidasu lakle,
7 and Jason has received them. And all these men act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.”
aduga Jason-na makhoibu mahakki yumda taramna oktuna thamle. Jisu kouba atoppa ningthou ama lei haiduna makhoi pumnamakna Caesar-gi wayel yathangsing thugaire.”
8 And they incited the people. And the rulers of the city, upon hearing these things,
Waheising asi tabada miyam amadi sahar adugi angambasing adu irang houhalle.
9 and having received an explanation from Jason and the others, released them.
Adudagi angambasing aduna Jason amasung ateising adu jamin pihallaga thadoklammi.
10 Yet truly, the brothers promptly sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. And when they had arrived, they entered the synagogue of the Jews.
Ahing hek oibaga thajabasingna Paul amadi Silas-pu Berea-da tharammi. Makhoina mapham aduda thungbaga synagogue-ta chatlammi.
11 But these were more noble than those who were at Thessalonica. They received the Word with all enthusiasm, daily examining the Scriptures to see if these things were so.
Thessalonica-da leiba misingdagidi mapham aduda leiba misingna henna wakhal chao-i. Makhoina pao adu yamna khourangna tai aduga Paul-na hairiba adu chumbra haibadu numit khudinggi Mapugi puya neinaduna kupna thijillammi.
12 And indeed, many believed among them, as well as not a few among the honorable Gentile men and women.
Greek-ki masak naiba nupi kaya ama amadi Greek-ki nupa kaya amasu yaona makhoi mayam amana thajarammi.
13 Then, when the Jews of Thessalonica had realized that the Word of God was also preached by Paul at Beroea, they went there also, stirring up and disturbing the multitude.
Adubu Paul-na Berea-dasu Tengban Mapugi wa sandokle haiba Thessalonica-da leiba Jihudisingna tabada makhoina mapham aduda laktuna miyambu thoujinduna irang houhallammi.
14 And then the brothers quickly sent Paul away, so that he might travel by sea. But Silas and Timothy remained there.
Thajabasing aduna Paul-bu khudakta Ipak mapan tanna thakhre adubu Silas amadi Timothy-di Berea-da leihourammi.
15 Then those who were leading Paul brought him as far as Athens. And having received an order from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him quickly, they set out.
Paul-bu thillakpa mising aduna mahakpu Athens phaoba pubire aduga Silas amadi Timothy-bu yariba makhei thuna mahakki manakta laknaba mahakna hairakpa wahei adu puduna makhoina Berea-da hallakle.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred up within him, seeing the city given over to idolatry.
Paul-na Athens-ta Silas amadi Timothy ngairingeida, mahakna sahar adu lai murtisingna thanna leiba adu ubada mahak thamoi yamna soklammi.
17 And so, he was disputing with the Jews in the synagogue, and with the worshipers, and in public places, throughout each day, with whomever was there.
Maram aduna mahakna synagogue-ta Jihudisingga amasung Tengban Mapubu kina chatchaba Jihudi nattabasingga khanna neinarammi aduga numit khudinggi keithelda lakpa misinggasu neinaminarami.
18 Now certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were arguing with him. And some were saying, “What does this sower of the Word want to say?” Yet others were saying, “He seems to be an announcer for new demons.” For he was announcing to them Jesus and the Resurrection.
Epicure amadi Stoic-ki mahei masing heiba kharagasu mahakka yetnarammi. Makhoi kharana hanglak-i. “Pang-ngangda ngangba asina haininglabasi karino?” Atoppasingna khumlak-i, “Mahakna miramgi laisinggi maramda sandokpa malli.” Paul-na Jisugi amadi Ibungona hinggatkhibagi maramda sandokpagi maramna makhoina masi haibani.
19 And apprehending him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: “Are we able to know what this new doctrine is, about which you speak?
Maram aduna makhoina Paul-bu Areopagus hairiba wa tanapham adugi mangda puraklaga makhoina mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna sandokliba anouba tambiba adu eikhoi khangjaba yagadra?
20 For you bring certain new ideas to our ears. And so we would like to know what these things mean.”
Nahakna haiba kharadi eikhoina tabada itong tongalli aduna hairibasing adu kari hairibano haiba eikhoi khangning-i.”
21 (Now all the Athenians, and arriving visitors, were occupying themselves with nothing other than speaking or hearing various new ideas.)
(Athens-ki mi pumnamak amadi mapham aduda leiba mireibak machasingna anou anouba wa haiba amadi taba nattana karisu toudana matam lelli.)
22 But Paul, standing in the middle of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are rather superstitious.
Paul-na Areopagus-ki mipham mamangda lepkhattuna hairak-i, “Athens-ki miyam! Nakhoi asi hiram pumnamakta laining chetpa misingni haiba eina ure.
23 For as I was passing by and noticing your idols, I also found an altar, on which was written: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, what you worship in ignorance, this is what I am preaching to you:
Eina nakhoigi sahar asida asum chatpada amadi nakhoina khurumba maphamsing adu eina asum yengbada khubham amada, ‘Khangdaba Tengban Mapuda’ haina iba ama eina thengnare. Nakhoina khangdana khurumliba Ibungo mahakki maramda eina nakhoida sandokpani.
24 the God who made the world and all that is in it, the One who is the Lord of heaven and earth, who does not live in temples made with hands.
Taibangpan amadi masida leiriba pumnamakpu sembiba Tengban Mapudi swarga amadi malemgi Mapuni, mahakti mioibagi khutna saba laisangsingda leite.
25 Neither is he served by the hands of men, as if in need of anything, since it is he who gives to all things life and breath and all else.
Eikhoina Ibungo mahakkidamak thabak sujaraga Ibungoda piba yaba Ibungogi awatpa amatasu leite maramdi Ibungona pumnamakta thawai, nungsasor amasung pot pumnamak pibi.
26 And he has made, out of one, every family of man: to live upon the face of the entire earth, determining the appointed seasons and the limits of their habitation,
Ibungo mahakna mi amadagi mioiba phurup khudingbu sembiduna malemgi mapham pumnamakta makhoibu leihanbi. Makhoina leigadaba akaknaba matam amadi akaknaba maphamgi ngamkhei adu Ibungona mangjounana leppi.
27 so as to seek God, if perhaps they may consider him or find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
Ibungona masi toubiribasi mioibana Ibungo mahakpu thijaraknaba amadi koima majaduna Ibungo mahakpu phangjaba yanabani adum oinamak Tengban Mapudi eikhoi pumnamaktagi lapna leite.
28 ‘For in him we live, and move, and exist.’ Just as some of your own poets have said. ‘For we are also of his family.’
Kanagumba amana asumna haikhibagumbani, ‘Ibungo mahakki mapanna eikhoi hingli, lengli amasung palli.’ Nakhoigi seireng i-ba kharana asumna haikhibagumbani, ‘Eikhoidi Ibungo mahakki machasingni.’
29 Therefore, since we are of the family of God, we must not consider gold or silver or precious stones, or the engravings of art and of the imagination of man, to be a representation of what is Divine.
Maram aduna eikhoi Tengban Mapugi machasing oibanina Tengban Mapu asi mioibagi heisingba amadi wakhalna semba sana nattraga lupa nattraga nunggi murti amagumbani haina eikhoina khalloidabani.
30 And indeed, God, having looked down to see the ignorance of these times, has now announced to men that everyone everywhere should do penance.
Mamangeigi khangdaba matam adu Tengban Mapuna singthanabidre adubu houjikti mapham khudingmakta mi pumnamakna pukning honglaknaba Ibungona yathang pire.
31 For he has appointed a day on which he will judge the world in equity, through the man whom he has appointed, offering faith to all, by raising him from the dead.”
Maramdi Ibungona khandokpikhraba mi adugi mapanna taibangpan pumbabu achumbana wayen-gadaba numit ama leppikhre. Ibungona mahakpu asibadagi hinggat-hanbiduna mi pumnamakta khudam utpire.”
32 And when they had heard about the Resurrection of the dead, indeed, some were derisive, while others said, “We will listen to you about this again.”
Sibadagi hinggatpagi maramda Paul-na haiba adu tabada makhoi kharana mahakpu noknarammi adubu atei kharana hairak-i, “Masigi maramda eikhoina nangondagi amukka taning-i.”
33 So Paul departed from their midst.
Adudagi Paul-na mitin adudagi chatkhre.
34 Yet truly, certain men, adhering to him, did believe. Among these were also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Mi kharadi Paul-gi tung inba oire amadi thajare. Makhoigi marakta Areopagus-ki mioi Dionysius, Damaris koubi nupi amasung mi atoppa kharasu yaorammi.
