World English Bible
1διοδευσαντεσ δε την αμφιπολιν και απολλωνιαν ηλθον εισ θεσσαλονικην οπου ην η συναγωγη των ιουδαιων
1Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2κατα δε το ειωθοσ τω παυλω εισηλθεν προσ αυτουσ και επι σαββατα τρια διελεξατο αυτοισ απο των γραφων
2Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3διανοιγων και παρατιθεμενοσ οτι τον χριστον εδει παθειν και αναστηναι εκ νεκρων και οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο χριστοσ ιησουσ ον εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
3explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”
4και τινεσ εξ αυτων επεισθησαν και προσεκληρωθησαν τω παυλω και τω σιλα των τε σεβομενων ελληνων πολυ πληθοσ γυναικων τε των πρωτων ουκ ολιγαι
4Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.
5προσλαβομενοι δε οι ιουδαιοι οι απειθουντεσ των αγοραιων τινασ ανδρασ πονηρουσ και οχλοποιησαντεσ εθορυβουν την πολιν επισταντεσ τε τη οικια ιασονοσ εζητουν αυτουσ αγαγειν εισ τον δημον
5But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
6μη ευροντεσ δε αυτουσ εσυρον τον ιασονα και τινασ αδελφουσ επι τουσ πολιταρχασ βοωντεσ οτι οι την οικουμενην αναστατωσαντεσ ουτοι και ενθαδε παρεισιν
6When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
7ουσ υποδεδεκται ιασων και ουτοι παντεσ απεναντι των δογματων καισαροσ πρασσουσιν βασιλεα λεγοντεσ ετερον ειναι ιησουν
7whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
8εταραξαν δε τον οχλον και τουσ πολιταρχασ ακουοντασ ταυτα
8The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
9και λαβοντεσ το ικανον παρα του ιασονοσ και των λοιπων απελυσαν αυτουσ
9When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10οι δε αδελφοι ευθεωσ δια τησ νυκτοσ εξεπεμψαν τον τε παυλον και τον σιλαν εισ βεροιαν οιτινεσ παραγενομενοι εισ την συναγωγην απηεσαν των ιουδαιων
10The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
11ουτοι δε ησαν ευγενεστεροι των εν θεσσαλονικη οιτινεσ εδεξαντο τον λογον μετα πασησ προθυμιασ το καθ ημεραν ανακρινοντεσ τασ γραφασ ει εχοι ταυτα ουτωσ
11Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
12πολλοι μεν ουν εξ αυτων επιστευσαν και των ελληνιδων γυναικων των ευσχημονων και ανδρων ουκ ολιγοι
12Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
13ωσ δε εγνωσαν οι απο τησ θεσσαλονικησ ιουδαιοι οτι και εν τη βεροια κατηγγελη υπο του παυλου ο λογοσ του θεου ηλθον κακει σαλευοντεσ τουσ οχλουσ
13But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.
14ευθεωσ δε τοτε τον παυλον εξαπεστειλαν οι αδελφοι πορευεσθαι ωσ επι την θαλασσαν υπεμενον δε ο τε σιλασ και ο τιμοθεοσ εκει
14Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
15οι δε καθιστωντεσ τον παυλον ηγαγον αυτον εωσ αθηνων και λαβοντεσ εντολην προσ τον σιλαν και τιμοθεον ινα ωσ ταχιστα ελθωσιν προσ αυτον εξηεσαν
15But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
16εν δε ταισ αθηναισ εκδεχομενου αυτουσ του παυλου παρωξυνετο το πνευμα αυτου εν αυτω θεωρουντι κατειδωλον ουσαν την πολιν
16Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
17διελεγετο μεν ουν εν τη συναγωγη τοισ ιουδαιοισ και τοισ σεβομενοισ και εν τη αγορα κατα πασαν ημεραν προσ τουσ παρατυγχανοντασ
17So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
18τινεσ δε και των επικουρειων και των στοικων φιλοσοφων συνεβαλλον αυτω και τινεσ ελεγον τι αν θελοι ο σπερμολογοσ ουτοσ λεγειν οι δε ξενων δαιμονιων δοκει καταγγελευσ ειναι οτι τον ιησουν και την αναστασιν ευηγγελιζετο
18Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
19επιλαβομενοι τε αυτου επι τον αρειον παγον ηγαγον λεγοντεσ δυναμεθα γνωναι τισ η καινη αυτη η υπο σου λαλουμενη διδαχη
19They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
20ξενιζοντα γαρ τινα εισφερεισ εισ τασ ακοασ ημων βουλομεθα ουν γνωναι τι αν θελοι ταυτα ειναι
20For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
21αθηναιοι δε παντεσ και οι επιδημουντεσ ξενοι εισ ουδεν ετερον ευκαιρουν η λεγειν τι και ακουειν καινοτερον
21Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
22σταθεισ δε ο παυλοσ εν μεσω του αρειου παγου εφη ανδρεσ αθηναιοι κατα παντα ωσ δεισιδαιμονεστερουσ υμασ θεωρω
22Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
23διερχομενοσ γαρ και αναθεωρων τα σεβασματα υμων ευρον και βωμον εν ω επεγεγραπτο αγνωστω θεω ον ουν αγνοουντεσ ευσεβειτε τουτον εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
23For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.
24ο θεοσ ο ποιησασ τον κοσμον και παντα τα εν αυτω ουτοσ ουρανου και γησ κυριοσ υπαρχων ουκ εν χειροποιητοισ ναοισ κατοικει
24The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.
25ουδε υπο χειρων ανθρωπων θεραπευεται προσδεομενοσ τινοσ αυτοσ διδουσ πασιν ζωην και πνοην κατα παντα
25He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.
26εποιησεν τε εξ ενοσ αιματοσ παν εθνοσ ανθρωπων κατοικειν επι παν το προσωπον τησ γησ ορισασ προστεταγμενουσ καιρουσ και τασ οροθεσιασ τησ κατοικιασ αυτων
26He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,
27ζητειν τον κυριον ει αρα γε ψηλαφησειαν αυτον και ευροιεν και γε ου μακραν απο ενοσ εκαστου ημων υπαρχοντα
27that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
28εν αυτω γαρ ζωμεν και κινουμεθα και εσμεν ωσ και τινεσ των καθ υμασ ποιητων ειρηκασιν του γαρ και γενοσ εσμεν
28‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
29γενοσ ουν υπαρχοντεσ του θεου ουκ οφειλομεν νομιζειν χρυσω η αργυρω η λιθω χαραγματι τεχνησ και ενθυμησεωσ ανθρωπου το θειον ειναι ομοιον
29Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.
30τουσ μεν ουν χρονουσ τησ αγνοιασ υπεριδων ο θεοσ τα νυν παραγγελλει τοισ ανθρωποισ πασιν πανταχου μετανοειν
30The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
31διοτι εστησεν ημεραν εν η μελλει κρινειν την οικουμενην εν δικαιοσυνη εν ανδρι ω ωρισεν πιστιν παρασχων πασιν αναστησασ αυτον εκ νεκρων
31because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”
32ακουσαντεσ δε αναστασιν νεκρων οι μεν εχλευαζον οι δε ειπον ακουσομεθα σου παλιν περι τουτου
32Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
33και ουτωσ ο παυλοσ εξηλθεν εκ μεσου αυτων
33Thus Paul went out from among them.
34τινεσ δε ανδρεσ κολληθεντεσ αυτω επιστευσαν εν οισ και διονυσιοσ ο αρεοπαγιτησ και γυνη ονοματι δαμαρισ και ετεροι συν αυτοισ
34But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
