Acts 17
1 Nowe as they passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a Synagogue of the Iewes.
Kane gisekalo Amfipoli gi Apolonia, ne gitundo Thesalonika, kuma ne nitie sinagogi moro mar jo-Yahudi.
2 And Paul, as his maner was, went in vnto them, and three Sabbath daies disputed with them by the Scriptures,
Kaka Paulo ne jatimo pile, ne odonjo e od lemono, kendo kuom Sabato adek moluwore, nopimo kodgi wach kuom weche mondiki e Muma.
3 Opening, and alleadging that Christ must haue suffered, and risen againe from the dead: and this is Iesus Christ, whom, said he, I preach to you.
Noleronigi tiendgi kendo nomiyo gingʼeyo gadiera ni Kristo ne nyaka sandi eka bangʼe ochier oa kuom joma otho. Nowachonegi niya, “Yesu ma ayalonuni e Kristo.”
4 And some of them beleeued, and ioyned in companie with Paul and Silas: also of the Grecians that feared God a great multitude, and of the chiefe women not a fewe.
Jomoko kuom jo-Yahudi ne wach oywayo kendo ne giyie mi giluwo Paulo gi Sila, mana kaka jo-Yunani moluoro Nyasaye mathoth kaachiel gi mon moko mongʼere bende noyie.
5 But the Iewes which beleeued not, mooued with enuie, tooke vnto them certaine vagabonds and wicked fellowes, and whe they had assembled the multitude, they made a tumult in the citie, and made assault against the house of Iason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
To jo-Yahudi mamoko ne nyiego omako; omiyo negidhi gichoko acheje moko mane bayo e chiro kanyo, eka negichoko oganda maduongʼ mar joma achejego, kendo negichako lweny e dalano. Ne gimwomore e od Jason, ka gimanyo Paulo gi Sila, mondo gigolgi oko ni oganda.
6 But when they found them not, they drew Iason and certaine brethren vnto the heads of the citie, crying, These are they which haue subuerted the state of the world, and here they are,
To kane ok giyudogi, ne giywayo Jason kod jowete moko e nyim jotend dalano. Negigoyo koko kagiwacho niya, “Jok mosekelo chandruok e piny kuonde duto koro osechopo ka,
7 Whom Iason hath receiued, and these all doe against the decrees of Cesar, saying that there is another King, one Iesus.
kendo Jason-ni ema oserwakogi e ode. Giduto gidagi luwo chike Kaisar, kagiwacho ni nitie ruoth machielo, miluongo ni Yesu.”
8 Then they troubled the people, and the heads of the citie, when they heard these things.
Kane giwinjo wechegi, oganda mane osechokore kanyo kod jotelo mag dalano nogoyo koko.
9 Notwithstanding when they had receiued sufficient assurance of Iason and of the other, they let them goe.
Jotelogo noketo ne Jason gi joge mamoko nengo mar singruok ni ok ginichak gikel koko kendo, bangʼe ne giweyogi gidhi.
10 And the brethren immediatly sent away Paul and Silas by night vnto Berea, which when they were come thither, entred into ye Synagogue of the Iewes.
Kane piny oimore, jowete nooro Paulo gi Sila Berea. Kane gichopo, negidonjo e sinagogi mar jo-Yahudi.
11 These were also more noble men then they which were at Thessalonica, which receiued the woorde with all readinesse, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
To jo-Berea ne nigi kido maber moloyo jo-Thesalonika, nikech negirwako wach gi chuny mamor, kendo neginono Ndiko pile ka pile, mondo gine ane ka gik mane Paulo wacho gin adier.
12 Therefore many of them beleeued, and of honest women, which were Grecians, and men not a fewe.
Jo-Yahudi mathoth noyie, kaachiel gi mon mathoth ma jo-Yunani mongʼere, kod jo-Yunani mangʼeny machwo.
13 But when the Iewes of Thessalonica knewe, that the woord of God was also preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and mooued the people.
Ka jo-Yahudi manodak Thesalonika nowinjo ni Paulo ne yalo wach Nyasaye Berea, negidhi kuno bende, kendo negichoko oganda mondo ochak koko, ka giketho chuny ji.
14 But by and by the brethren sent away Paul to goe as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
Jowete nooro Paulo e dho nam ma ok odeko, ka Sila gi Timotheo to jodong Berea.
15 And they that did conduct Paul, brought him vnto Athens: and when they had receiued a commandement vnto Silas and Timotheus that they shoulde come to him at once, they departed.
Joma ne odhi gi Paulo notere nyaka Athene, bangʼe negidok Berea mi ginyiso Sila gi Timotheo yo mane ginyalo chopogo ir Paulo mapiyo.
16 Nowe while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirite was stirred in him, when hee sawe the citie subiect to idolatrie.
Kane Paulo pod rito Sila gi Timotheo Athene, chunye nosin kane oneno kaka jo-dalano noketo chunygi kuom lamo kido mag nyiseche manono.
17 Therefore he disputed in the Synagogue with the Iewes, and with them that were religious, and in the market daily with whomesoeuer he met.
Omiyo nowuoyo kod jo-Yahudi gi jo-Yunani moluoro Nyasaye e sinagogi. Bende pile pile nowuoyo gi ji mane budho e chiro e dalano.
18 Then certaine Philosophers of the Epicures, and of the Stoickes, disputed with him, and some sayde, What will this babler say? Others sayde, He seemeth to be a setter forth of straunge gods (because hee preached vnto them Iesus, and the resurrection.)
Jorieko moko mag Epikurio kod Stoiko nochako mino kode wach. Moko kuomgi nopenjo niya, “Angʼo ma jawach thoreni temo wacho?” To moko nowacho niya, “Chal ka gima oyalo kuom nyiseche moko ma welo.” Negiwacho kamano nikech Paulo ne yalo kuom Yesu kendo kuom chier.
19 And they tooke him, and brought him into Mars streete, saying, May we not know, what this newe doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
Eka ne gikawe mi gidhi kode kar romo margi miluongo ni Areopago, bangʼe gipenje niya, “Donge dinyiswae tiend puonj manyien mikelo kaeni?
20 For thou bringest certaine strange thinges vnto our eares: we woulde knowe therefore, what these things meane.
Isako itwa gi puonj manyien mapok wawinjo, omiyo wadwaro ngʼeyo tiendgi.”
21 For all the Athenians, and strangers which dwelt there, gaue them selues to nothing els, but either to tell, or to heare some newes.
(Jo-Athene duto kod jopinje mamoko mane odak kanyo nohero ketho sechegi kanyo ka gigoyo mbaka kendo giwinjo paro gi rieko manyien.)
22 Then Paul stoode in the mids of Mars streete, and sayde, Yee men of Athens, I perceiue that in all things yee are too superstitious.
Eka Paulo nochungʼ e nyim chokruok mane ni ei Areopago mochako wuoyo kowacho niya, “Un jo-Athene, ayudo ni un joma ohero lemo e ngimau duto.
23 For as I passed by, and behelde your deuotions, I founde an altar wherein was written, VNTO THE VNKNOWEN GOD. Whom ye then ignorantly worship, him shewe I vnto you.
Nikech kane awuotho kalworora ka anono malongʼo kuondeu mag lemo, to ne ayudo nyaka kendo mar misango mondikie niya, ‘Ne nyasaye ma ok ongʼe’. Koro gima ulamo kaka gima ok ongʼe ema adwaro yalonu.
24 God that made the world, and all things that are therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaue and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands,
“Nyasaye mane ochweyo piny kaachiel gi gik moko duto manie iye en Ruodh polo gi piny, kendo ok odak ei hekalu ma oger gi lwet dhano,
25 Neither is worshipped with mens handes, as though he needed any thing, seeing hee giueth to all life and breath and all things,
bende ok tine gi lwet dhano ka gima odwaro gimoro kuom dhano nikech en owuon ema ochiwo ne dhano, ngima gi muya mi yweyo kod gik moko duto.
26 And hath made of one blood all mankinde, to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath assigned the seasons which were ordeined before, and the boundes of their habitation,
Koa kuom dhano achiel, nochweyo ogendini duto mag ji, mondo gipongʼ piny duto, kendo en ema oketo ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kar romb higni monego odag-go e piny, kod kuonde monego gidagie.
27 That they shoulde seeke the Lord, if so be they might haue groped after him, and founde him though doubtlesse he be not farre from euery one of vs.
Nyasaye notimo ma mondo ji obed gi chuny madware kendo mondo kanyalore to gichop kuma entie, mi giyude, kata obedo ni ok en mabor kodwa.
28 For in him we liue, and mooue, and haue our being, as also certaine of your owne Poets haue sayd, for we are also his generation.
‘Wangima nikech En, kendo wawuotho nikech En, kendo wantie nikech En.’ En mana kaka jowendu moko osewacho ni, ‘Wan bende wan kothe.’
29 Forasmuch then, as we are the generation of God, we ought not to thinke that ye Godhead is like vnto gold, or siluer, or stone grauen by arte and the inuention of man.
“Ka wan koth Nyasaye kamano, to koro ok onego wapar ni Nyasaye chalo gi dhahabu kata gi fedha kata kidi, ma gin mana kido ma dhano oloso kendo oketo gi pache.
30 And the time of this ignorance God regarded not: but nowe hee admonisheth all men euery where to repent,
E kinde mokalo Nyasaye ne ok odewo fuwo machal kamano, to koro sani osegolo chik ni ji duto kamoro amora mondo olokre owe richo.
31 Because hee hath appoynted a day in the which he wil iudge the world in righteousnes, by that man whome hee hath appoynted, whereof he hath giuen an assurance to all men, in that hee hath raised him from the dead.
Nikech oseketo chiengʼ mobiro ngʼadoe bura ne piny duto gadiera, kokalo kuom ngʼat moseyiero. Bende osenyiso ji malongʼo ni obiro timo mano ni ji duto, nikech nochiere oa kuom joma otho.”
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection from the dead, some mocked, and other sayde, We will heare thee againe of this thing.
Kane jogo owinjo ka Paulo wuoyo kuom wach chier aa kuom joma otho, moko kuomgi nojare, to moko to nowachone niya, “Wabiro dwaro mondo iwuo kodwa kendo e wachni.”
33 And so Paul departed from among them.
Eka Paulo nowuok moweyo joburago.
34 Howbeit certaine men claue vnto Paul, and beleeued: among whome was also Denys Areopagita, and a woman named Damaris, and other with them.
Ji moko manok nodok kor Paulo, mi giyie kuom Kristo. Achiel kuom joma noyie ne en Dionusio, mane en jabuch Areopago, gi dhako moro ma nyinge Damaris, kod ji mamoko manok.
