Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
Paul le Silas sia Amphipolis le Apollonia a kantan zawk uh ciang in, Thessalonica theng uh hi, tua mun ah Judah te synagogue om hi:
2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in to them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
Taciang Paul sia ama ngeina bang in, synagogue sung ah tum a, sabbath ni nithum sung amate taw laithiangtho sung thu te kikum uh hi.
3 Opening and alleging, that it was needful that Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach to you, is Christ.
Christ sia a thuak kul hamtang a hi na le thina pan thokik hamtang tu hi; ci in note tung ah ka pualak hi Jesus sia Christ a hihi, ci in pualak in hil thiang hi.
4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
Amate sung pan pawlkhat te in um uh a, Paul le Silas te kipawlpui uh hi; taciang tua te sung ah biakna sang a kipumpiak Greek mihon tampi le numei lampui tampi kihel uh hi.
5 But the Jews who believed not, moved with envy, took to them certain wicked fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city in an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
Ahihang a um ngawl Judah mite in haza uh a, van zuakna lamdung a vakvai mannung ngawl mite sam uh hi, taciang honpi khat hong pha uh a khuapi sung ah buaina piangsak uh hi, taciang Jason i inn sim uh a, mipi mai ah pusua tu in zong uh hi.
6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down have come here also;
Taciang amate in a mu ngawl uh ciang in, Jason le suapui pawlkhat te khuapi ulian te kung ah kai uh a, hileitung lumlet te himun zong ah hongpai uh hi;
7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
Amate sia Jason in ama inn ah tungsak hi: hi te theampo in Caesar thupiakna te langpan uh a, Jesus a kici a dang kumpi khat om hi, ci uh hi, ci in au lialua uh hi.
8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
Hi thu te mipi te le khuapi ulian te in a zak uh ciang in, buai mama uh hi.
9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the others, they let them go.
Taciang Jason le a dang te sia a kisam za dangka liausak uh a, tua zawkciang in suaktasak kik uh hi.
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who coming there went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Zan ciang in suapui te in Paul le Silas sia Berea ah a zan a zan in paisak uh hi: tua mun a thet uh ciang in Judah mite i synagogue sung ah tum uh hi.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Hi te sia Thessalonica mite sang in a thinsung uh phazaw hi, thalawptak in thu ngai uh a, tua a ngai uh thu te a man le man ngawl nisim laithiangtho sung ah zong uh hi.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women who were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Tua ahikom amate sung ah mi tampi in um uh a; a zatak huai Greek nupi pasal tampi om uh hi.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also, and stirred up the people.
Ahihang Thesslonica a om Judah mite in Berea khua ah zong Paul in Pathian thuhil hi, ci a heak uh ciang in, hongpai uh a, mipi te thawn uh hi.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timothy abode there still.
Tua zawk pociang in suapui te in Paul sia tuipi sang ah paisak uh hi: ahihang Silas le Timothy sia Berea ah taamlai hi.
15 And they that conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.
Paul a tha te in Athens dong tha uh hi: taciang Silas le Timothy sia manlangtak hongpai tu in thu nga uh a, pai uh hi.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
Paul sia Athen pan Silas le Timothy te ngak in a om laitak, tua khuapi sung ah milim biakna bebek om hi, ci a mu ciang in, a thinsung sutha mama hi.
17 Therefore he disputed in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
Tua ahikom Judah mite i biakna lampui te taw synagogue sung ah thu ki nial uh a, vanzuakna ah a kisikpui te taw nisim in ki nial uh hi.
18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoics, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? some others, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection.
Tua zawkciang in thu ngaisun thiam Epicurean te le Stoic te taw ki mu uh hi. Taciang pawlkhat te in, hi a papau sia bang son ziam? a dang pawlkhat te zong in, hisia pa sia ngamdang te pathian te thu son hi tu hi, ci uh hi: banghangziam cile Paul in amate tung ah Jesus le a thawkikna thu son hi.
19 And they took him, and brought him to Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest?
Taciang amate in Paul man uh hi, taciang Areopagas ah paipui uh a, hi hilna thak na son te kote zong ka heak tu uh kisam ziam?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
Banghangziam cile a tumdang te ka bil uh ah nong zasak hi: tua ahikom hi thu te i deina sia bangziam, ci ka he nuam uh hi, ci uh hi.
21 ( For all the Athenians and strangers who were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
Banghangziam cile Athen mite le leangna te theampo in thuthak son tu, a hibale ngai tu simngawl bangma dang atu amate hun a zang bua uh hi.
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are very religious.
Tua zawkciang in Paul sia Mars mual laizang ah ding a, no Athen mite, na theampo ah note sia biakna sang ah a hanciam mama te na hi uh hi, ci kong he hi.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I to you.
Banghangziam cile ka vakawm in biakna sang na hanciam nate ka en a, a ki he ngawl pathian atu ci a ki at biaktau khat ka mu hi. Tua ahikom note in he ngawlpi in na biak uh Pathian thu kong pualak hi.
24 God that made the world and all things in it, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Tua Pathian sia leitung le a sung om theampo a vawtpa a hihi, ama sia van le lei i Topa hi a, khut taw a kisa biakinn sung ah om ngawl hi;
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
Pathian sia mi theampo tung ah nuntakna, husan le na theampo a piapa ahikom, mihing te khut taw i vawtsak tu bangma kisam ngawl hi;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Taciang Ama in leitung theampo ah a om minam theampo sia thisan khat in vawt a, amate om tu hun te le a om na mun tu ngam te zong ngealkholsak siat hi;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might grope after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us:
Tabang in amate in Topa zong uh a, tham in a mu theina tu hi, Pathian sia eite khatsim kuama taw ki khuala ngawl hi:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Banghangziam cile i nungta a, i tuk i dian le i hina theampo sia Ama sung ah a hihi; tasia bangma in na laphuak te in zong, eite zong Ama suan te i hihi, ci hi.
29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like gold, or silver, or stone, formed by art and man’s device.
Tabang in Pathian suan te i hi man in, mihing te khutthiam le ngaisutna taw a kivawt kham, ngun le suangtum milim bang in Pathian sia i ngaisut tu hi ngawl hi.
30 And the times of this ignorance God overlooked; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Mihing te in Pathian a heak ma hunlai in Pathian in a mu ngawl bang in omthong ngei napi; tu in mun theampo ah mi theampo maw ki sikkik tu in thupia hi:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, when he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; of which he hath given assurance to all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Banghangziam cile nasep a piaksa mihing khat zang in leitung ah thutang suana tungtawn thu a khen tu ni ciangtan zo hi; tua thu sia a ma a hihi, ci in mi theampo tung ah kilangsak tu in tua pa sia thina pan thokiksak zo hi, ci hi.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
Amate in mithi te thawkikna thu a zak uh ciang in, mi pawlkhat te in selno uh a: midang te in hi thu nangtung pan ka za kik nuam uh hi, ci uh hi.
33 So Paul departed from among them.
Taciang Paul sia amate sung pan in pusuak hi.
34 But certain men joined themselves to him, and believed: among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Ahihang mi pawlkhat te in ama beal uh a, um uh hi: tua te sung ah Areopagas mi Dionysius, Damaris a kici nupi khat le midang te zong kihel uh hi.
