< Acts 17 >

1 As they made their iorney thorow Amphipolis and Appolonia they came to Thessalonica where was a synagoge of the Iewes.
Ary rehefa nandeha namaky an’ i Amfipolia sy Apolonia izy, dia tonga tao Tesalonika, ary nisy synagogan’ ny Jiosy tao.
2 And Paul as his maner was went in vnto them and thre saboth doyes declared oute of the scripture vnto them
Ary Paoly dia niditra tao araka ny fanaony; ary Sabata telo no niadiany hevitra avy amin’ ny Soratra Masìna tamin’ ny olona tao.
3 openynge and allegynge that Christ must nedes have suffred and rysen agayne from deeth and that this Iesus was Christ whom (sayde he) I preache to you.
Dia nanambara izy ka naneho marimarina fa tsy maintsy nijaly sy nitsangana tamin’ ny maty Kristy; ary Jesosy, Izay toriko aminareo, hoy izy, no Kristy.
4 And some of them beleved and came and companyed with Paul and Sylas: also of the honourable Grekes a greate multitude and of the chefe wemen not a feawe.
Ary ny sasany tamin’ ireo dia nino ka nanampy ho isan’ ny mpianatr’ i Paoly sy Silasy, ary maro be koa tamin’ ny jentilisa izay mpivavaka, ary tsy vitsy tamin’ ny vehivavy nanan-kaja.
5 But the Iewes which beleved not havynge indignacio toke vnto the evyll men which were vagabondes and gadered a company and set all the cite on a roore and made asaute vnto the housse of Iason and sought to bringe the out to the people.
Fa nialona ny Jiosy ka naka olona ratsy fanahy teny an-tsena ary nahavory vahoaka betsaka, dia nampitabataba ny tanàna ka namely ny tranon’ i Jasona ary nitady hamoaka azy roa lahy ho ao amin’ ny olona.
6 But when they founde them not they drue Iason and certayne brethren vnto the heedes of the cite cryinge: these that trouble the worlde are come hydder also
Ary raha tsy nahita azy roa lahy izy, dia nisarika an’ i Jasona sy ny rahalahy sasany ho ao amin’ ny lehiben’ ny tanàna ka niantso mafy hoe: Tongay koa ireo lehilahy namadika izao tontolo izao ireo;
7 which Iason hath receaved prevely. And these all do contrary to the elders of Cesar affirmynge another kynge one Iesus.
ary efa nampandrosoin’ i Jasona izy, ka izy rehetra ireo manohitra ny tenin’ i Kaisara, satria izy milaza fa misy mpanjaka hafa, dia Jesosy.
8 And they troubled the people and the officers of the cite when they hearde these thinges.
Dia taitra ny vahoaka sy ny lehiben’ ny tanàna, raha nahare izany.
9 And when they were sufficiently answered of Iason and of the other they let the goo.
Ary rehefa nasainy nametraka antoka Jasona sy ny sasany teo aminy, dia navelany handeha izy.
10 And the brethren immediatly sent awaye Paul and Sylas by nyght vnto Berrea. Which when they were come thyther they entred into ye synagoge of the Iewes.
Ary Paoly sy Silasy dia nampandehanin’ ny rahalahy niaraka tamin’ izay nony alina hankany Beria; koa raha tonga tany izy, dia niditra tao amin’ ny synagogan’ ny Jiosy.
11 These were the noblest of byrthe amonge the of Thessalonia which receaved the worde wt all diligence of mynde and searched ye scriptures dayly whether those thinges were even so.
Ary ny toe-panahin’ ireo dia tsara noho ny tao Tesalonika; satria nandray ny teny tamin’ ny zotom-po indrindra ireo ka nandinika ny Soratra Masìna isan’ andro, na marina izany, na tsia.
12 And many of the beleved: also of worshipfull weme which were Grekes and of men not a feawe.
Koa maro tamin’ ireo no nino, ary tsy vitsy tamin’ ny vehivavy jentilisa nanan-kaja sy ny lehilahy.
13 When the Iewes of Thessalonia had knowledge that ye worde of God was preached of Paul at Berrea they came there and moved the people.
Fa raha ren’ ny Jiosy tany Tesalonika fa Paoly nitory ny tenin’ Andriamanitra tany Beria, dia nankany izy ka nampikotrana sy nampitabataba ny vahoaka.
14 And then by and by ye brethre sent awaye Paul to goo as it were to ye see: but Sylas and Timotheus abode there still.
Ary niaraka tamin’ izay dia nasain’ ny rahalahy nandeha hatrany amoron-dranomasina Paoly; fa Silasy sy Timoty kosa dia mbola nijanona teo ihany.
15 And they that gyded Paul brought him vnto Attens and receaved a comaundment vnto Sylas and Timotheus for to come to him at once and came their waye.
Ary izay nanatitra an’ i Paoly dia nitondra azy nankany Atena; ary rehefa nahazo teny holazainy amin’ i Silasy sy Timoty izy mba hankanesan’ izy roa lahy any aminy faingana, dia lasa nandeha ireo.
16 Whyll Paul wayted for them at Attens his sprete was moved in him to se the cite geven to worshippinge of ymages.
Ary raha niandry azy tany Atena Paoly, dia taitra tao anatiny ny fanahiny, raha nahita ny tanàna feno sampy izy.
17 Then he disputed in the synagoge wt the Iewes and with the devout persones and in the market dayly with the that came vnto him.
Ary izy niady hevitra tamin’ ny Jiosy sy ny proselyta tao amin’ ny synagoga sy tamin’ izay tafavory tany an-tsena isan’ andro.
18 Certayne philosophers of ye Epicures and of ye stoyckes disputed with him. And some ther were which sayde: what will this babler saye. Other sayd: he semeth to be a tydynges bringer of newe devyls because he preached vnto them Iesus and the resurreccion.
Ary ny olon-kendry sasany tamin’ ny Epikoreana sy ny Stoika nanohitra azy koa, ka hoy ny sasany: Inona no tian’ io mpibedibedy io holazaina? Ary hoy kosa ny sasany: Toa mitory andriamani-baovao izy, satria Jesosy sy ny fitsanganan’ ny maty no notoriny.
19 And they toke him and brought him into Marsestrete sayinge: maye we not knowe what this newe doctrine wher of thou speakest is?
Ary ireo naka azy, dia nitondra azy ho any Areopago ka nanao hoe: Moa mba mahazo mahafantatra izany fampianarana vaovao lazainao izany izahay?
20 For thou bringest straunge tydynges to oure eares. We wolde knowe therfore what these thinges meane.
Fa mampandre ny sofinay zavatra hafahafa izay tsy fantatray ianao; koa tianay ho fantatra izay hevitr’ izany zavatra izany.
21 For all the Attenians and straungers which were there gave the selves to nothinge els but ether to tell or to heare newe tydynges.
(Fa ny Ateniana rehetra sy ny vahiny izay nitoetra teo tsy nandany ny androny tamin’ ny zavatra hafa, afa-tsy ny hilaza na hihaino zava-baovao.)
22 Paul stode in the myddes of Marse strete and sayde: ye men of Attens I perceave that in all thinges ye are to supersticious.
Ary Paoly nitsangana teo afovoan’ i Areopago ka nanao hoe: Ry lehilahy Ateniana, hitako fa amin’ ny zavatra rehetra dia fatra-pivavaka amin’ ny andriamanitrareo indrindra ianareo.
23 For as I passed by and behelde the maner how ye worship youre goddes I founde an aultre wher in was written: vnto ye vnknowen god. Whom ye then ignoratly worship him shewe I vnto you.
Fa raha nandeha aho ka nandinika izay zavatra ivavahanareo, dia nahita alitara anankiray misy izao soratra izao: HO AN’ IZAY ANDRIAMANITRA TSY FANTATRA. Koa izay ivavahanareo, kanefa tsy fantatrareo, dia izany no toriko aminareo,
24 God that made the worlde and all that are in it seynge that he is Lorde of heven and erth he dwelleth not in temples made with hondes
dia Andriamanitra Izay nanao izao tontolo izao sy ny ao aminy rehetra, Izy no Tompon’ ny lanitra sy ny tany ka tsy mba mitoetra ao anaty tempoly nataon-tanana,
25 nether is worshipped with mennes hondes as though he neded of eny thinge seinge he him selfe geveth lyfe and breeth to all men every where
sady tsy mba tompoin’ ny tànan’ olona toa mila zavatra, fa Izy ihany no manome izao rehetra izao aina sy fofon’ aina ary ny zavatra rehetra;
26 and hath made of one bloud all nacions of men for to dwell on all the face of the erthe and hath assigned before how longe tyme and also the endes of their inhabitacion
ary ny firenena rehetra avy amin’ ny iray ihany dia namponeniny ambonin’ ny tany rehetra, ary efa notendreny ny fotoan’ andro sy ny faritry ny fonenany,
27 that they shuld seke God yf they myght fele and fynde him though he be not farre from every one of vs.
mba hitady an’ Andriamanitra izy, raha tàhiny hahatsapa ka hahita Azy, kanefa tsy mba lavitra antsika rehetra Izy;
28 For in him we lyve move and have oure beynge as certayne of youre awne Poetes sayde. For we are also his generacion.
fa Izy no ivelomantsika sy ihetsehantsika ary iainantsika; araka ny nataon’ ny mpanao tonon-kira sasany teo aminareo hoe: Fa terany koa isika.
29 For as moche then as we are the generacion of God we ought not to thynke that the godhed is lyke vnto golde silver or stone graven by crafte and ymaginacion of man.
Ary satria terak’ Andriamanitra isika, dia tsy mety raha ny fomban’ Andriamanitra no ataontsika ho tahaka ny volamena, na volafotsy, na vato voasoratry ny fahaizana aman-tsain’ olombelona.
30 And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not: but now he byddeth all men every where repent
Ary Andriamanitra ninia tsy nijery ny andron’ ny tsi-fahalalana; fa ankehitriny Izy mandidy ny olona rehetra amin’ izao tontolo izao hibebaka,
31 because he hath apoynted a daye in the which he will iudge the worlde acordynge to ryghtewesses by that man whom he hath apoynted and hath offered faith to all men after that he had raysed him from deeth.
satria Izy efa nanendry andro iray, izay hitsarany izao tontolo izao amin’ ny fahamarinana amin’ ny alalan’ ny Lehilahy iray voatendriny, koa efa nanome vavolombelona hampino ny olona rehetra izany Izy tamin’ ny nananganany Azy tamin’ ny maty.
32 When they hearde of ye resurreccion from deeth some mocked and other sayde: we will heare the agayne of this matter.
Ary raha nahare ny amin’ ny fitsanganan’ ny maty izy, dia nihomehy ny sasany; ary ny sasany kosa nanao hoe: Mbola hihaino anao indray izahay ny amin’ izany zavatra izany.
33 So Paul departed from amonge them.
Ary Paoly dia niala teo aminy.
34 Howbeit certayne men clave vnto Paul and beleved amonge the which was Dionysius a senatour and a woman named Damaris and other with them.
Anefa ny olona sasany niray taminy ka nino; mba naman’ izany Dionysio Areopagita sy ny vehivavy anankiray atao hoe Damary ary ny sasany koa.
