Acts 17
1 After Paul and Silas had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia they arrived at Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Paul amadi Silas-na Amphipolis amadi Apollonia phaoduna chatlaga Thessalonica-da lakle, mapham aduda synagogue ama leirammi.
2 As usual, Paul went into the synagogue and over the course of three Sabbaths he debated with them using the Scriptures.
Mahakki hounabi matung inna Paul-na synagogue aduda chatlammi. Potthaba numit ahumlak mapham aduda mahakna mising aduga Mapugi puyadagi neinaduna
3 He explained what the Scriptures meant, proving that the Messiah had to die and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I'm telling you about—he is the Messiah,” he told them.
Christtadi awaba khangba tai amadi sibadagi hinggatpa tai haiba adu sandokna taktuna utlammi. Mahakna hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida sandokliba Jisu asi Christta aduni.”
4 Some of them were convinced and joined Paul and Silas, along with many Greek-speaking worshipers and some leading women of the town.
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 became jealous and with some rabble-rousers they gathered from the marketplace they formed a mob. They rioted in the town, and attacked Jason's house. They tried to find Paul and Silas so they could bring them before 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 When they couldn't find them they dragged Jason and some of the other believers before the town leaders, shouting, “These people are famous for causing trouble, turning the world upside down. Now they've come 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 made them welcome in his house. They all defy Caesar's decrees, committing treason by saying there is another king called 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 The people and the leaders of the town were very disturbed when they heard this.
Waheising asi tabada miyam amadi sahar adugi angambasing adu irang houhalle.
9 So they made Jason and the others post bail before they let them go.
Adudagi angambasing aduna Jason amasung ateising adu jamin pihallaga thadoklammi.
10 The believers had Paul and Silas leave for Berea that very night. When they arrived in Berea they went to the Jewish synagogue.
Ahing hek oibaga thajabasingna Paul amadi Silas-pu Berea-da tharammi. Makhoina mapham aduda thungbaga synagogue-ta chatlammi.
11 The people there had a better attitude than those in Thessalonica in that they were very quick to accept the word, and every day they examined the Scriptures to make sure what they were told was right.
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 As a result many of them became believers, along with some highly-placed Greek women and men.
Greek-ki masak naiba nupi kaya ama amadi Greek-ki nupa kaya amasu yaona makhoi mayam amana thajarammi.
13 But when the Jews in Thessalonica heard that Paul was also spreading the word of God in Berea, they went there and caused the same kind of trouble, stirring up the crowds.
Adubu Paul-na Berea-dasu Tengban Mapugi wa sandokle haiba Thessalonica-da leiba Jihudisingna tabada makhoina mapham aduda laktuna miyambu thoujinduna irang houhallammi.
14 Immediately the believers sent Paul to the coast, while Silas and Timothy remained behind.
Thajabasing aduna Paul-bu khudakta Ipak mapan tanna thakhre adubu Silas amadi Timothy-di Berea-da leihourammi.
15 Those escorting Paul took him as far as Athens, and then returned with instructions from Paul to Silas and Timothy that they should join him there as soon as possible.
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 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens he was very troubled to see all the idolatry in the city.
Paul-na Athens-ta Silas amadi Timothy ngairingeida, mahakna sahar adu lai murtisingna thanna leiba adu ubada mahak thamoi yamna soklammi.
17 He debated in the synagogue with the Jews and those who worshiped God, as well as in the marketplace with those he happened to meet from day to day.
Maram aduna mahakna synagogue-ta Jihudisingga amasung Tengban Mapubu kina chatchaba Jihudi nattabasingga khanna neinarammi aduga numit khudinggi keithelda lakpa misinggasu neinaminarami.
18 Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also argued with him. “What is he going on about?” they wondered. Others concluded, “He seems to be teaching about some foreign gods,” because he was speaking about 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 So they took him to the Areopagus, and asked him, “Please tell us about this new teaching that you're promoting.
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 We're hearing from you things that sound odd to us, so we'd like to know what they mean.”
Nahakna haiba kharadi eikhoina tabada itong tongalli aduna hairibasing adu kari hairibano haiba eikhoi khangning-i.”
21 (All the Athenians, including foreigners who lived there, spent their whole time doing nothing except explaining or listening to something new.)
(Athens-ki mi pumnamak amadi mapham aduda leiba mireibak machasingna anou anouba wa haiba amadi taba nattana karisu toudana matam lelli.)
22 Paul stood up right in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “People of Athens, I notice you are very religious about everything.
Paul-na Areopagus-ki mipham mamangda lepkhattuna hairak-i, “Athens-ki miyam! Nakhoi asi hiram pumnamakta laining chetpa misingni haiba eina ure.
23 As I was walking along, looking at your shrines, I found an altar that had the inscription, ‘To an Unknown God.’ This unknown God whom you worship is the one I'm describing 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 created the world and everything in it, the Lord of heaven and earth, doesn't live in temples we make.
Taibangpan amadi masida leiriba pumnamakpu sembiba Tengban Mapudi swarga amadi malemgi Mapuni, mahakti mioibagi khutna saba laisangsingda leite.
25 He doesn't need to be served by us as if he needed anything, since he is the source of all life for every living being.
Eikhoina Ibungo mahakkidamak thabak sujaraga Ibungoda piba yaba Ibungogi awatpa amatasu leite maramdi Ibungona pumnamakta thawai, nungsasor amasung pot pumnamak pibi.
26 From one man he made all the peoples who live on the earth, and decided beforehand when and where they should live.
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 God's purpose was that they should seek him, hoping they would reach out for him and find him—though he isn't far from any 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 In him we live, move, and exist. Just as one of your own poets wrote, ‘We are 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 Since we are his family we shouldn't think that God is like gold, or silver, or stone, shaped by human artistry and thinking.
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 God disregarded people's ignorance in the past, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent.
Mamangeigi khangdaba matam adu Tengban Mapuna singthanabidre adubu houjikti mapham khudingmakta mi pumnamakna pukning honglaknaba Ibungona yathang pire.
31 For he has set a time when he will rightly judge the world by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone that he is the one 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 Some of them laughed when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, while others said, “Please come back so we can hear more about this later.”
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 left them.
Adudagi Paul-na mitin adudagi chatkhre.
34 A few men joined him and trusted in God, including Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, as well as a woman called Damaris, and some others.
Mi kharadi Paul-gi tung inba oire amadi thajare. Makhoigi marakta Areopagus-ki mioi Dionysius, Damaris koubi nupi amasung mi atoppa kharasu yaorammi.
