1Te phoeiah Amphipolis neh Apollonia te a hil rhoi tih Thessalonika la pawk rhoi. Te ah te Judah rhoek kah tunim om.
1And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2Te vaengah a sainoek bangla Paul te amih taengla kun tih Sabbath voei thum amih taengah olcim te a thui.
2And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures:
3Te vaengah, “Khrih he patang tih duek lamkah a thoh a kuek te khaw, Jesuh amah tah Khrih ni. Anih te ni kai loh nangmih taengah ka doek,” tila a ong pah tih a tawn pah.
3Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you.
4Te vaengah amih khuikah hlangvang tah ngailaem tih Paul neh Silas taengla kibaeng uh. Greek rhoek khuiah huta rhaengpuei a yet loh a bawk uh tih tanglue rhoek khaw a yool mai moenih.
4And some of them believed, and were associated to Paul and Silas; and of those that served God, and of the Gentiles a great multitude, and of noble women not a few.
5Tedae Judah rhoek te a thatlai uh dongah boethae hlang rhoek te dumlo lailo la hlangvang a khuen tih khopuei ah sarhingrhup la a a kuk uh. Te phoeiah Jason im te a pai thil uh tih amih rhoi te rhaengpuei taengah phoe sak ham a toem uh.
5But the Jews, moved with envy, and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason’s house, sought to bring them out unto the people.
6Tedae amih rhoi te a hmuh uh pawt vaengah Jason neh manuca rhoek hlangvang te khoboei rhoek taengla a mawt uh. Te phoeiah, “Amih loh lunglai a palet uh tih he la om rhoi coeng.
6And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar, are come hither also;
7Amih te Jason loh a doe. Te dongah amih tah Kaisar kah oltloek te boeih a khoboe thil uh tih, 'Manghai tloe Jesuh om,’ a ti uh, “tila pang uh.
7Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
8Te te a yaak uh vaengah hlangping neh khoboei rhoek khaw thuen uh.
8And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things,
9Tedae Jason neh a tloe rhoek taengkah a doe uh khangrhang daengah amih te a hlah uh.
9And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
10Te dongah Paul neh Silas te manuca rhoek loh khoyin ah Berea la pahoi a tueih uh. A pha uh vaengah Judah rhoek kah tunim ah kun uh.
10But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11Tedae amih tah Thessalonika kah rhoek lakah hlangtang la om uh. Amih tah khalanah cungkuem neh olka te a doe uh. Hno he om tang nim tila hnin takuem ah cacim te a thuep uh.
11Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so.
12Te dongah amih khuikah loh muep a tangnah uh. Te veangkah Greek huta tongpa hlangcong khaw a yool mai moenih.
12And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.
13Paul loh Berea ah Pathen kah olka a doek van tila Thessalonika lamkah Judah rhoek loh a ming uh. Te vaengah ha lo uh tih a hinghoek dongah hlangping te a hinghuen sak uh.
13And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude.
14Te dongah tuitunli duela caeh sak ham manuca rhoek loh Paul te pahoi a thak uh. Tedae Silas neh Timothy tah pahoi duem rhoi pueng.
14And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
15Te vaengkah a hmoel rhoek loh Paul te Athens duela a thak uh. Te phoeiah Silas neh Timothy te anih taengah thamaa la lo sak ham olpaek te a doe uh tih bal uh.
15And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.
16Amih te Paul loh Athens ah a rhing. Khopuei mueirhol la a poeh te a hmuh vaengah a mueihla tah a khuiah umya.
16Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.
17Te dongah tunim kah Judah rhoek nen khaw, aka bawk rhoek nen khaw, hnin takuem kah hnoyoih hmuen ah a hmuh rhoek taengah khaw a thuingong uh.
17He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them that served God, and in the marketplace, every day with them that were there.
18A lak vaengah Epikouri neh Satoiko kah poeksoemkung rhoek long khaw anih te a loepdak uh. Te dongah a ngen loh, “Olom loh banim thui a ngaih he. A tloe rhoek loh, “Kholong kah sungrhai aka thuikung i ti. Jesuh neh thohkoepnah ni a phong,” a ti uh.
18And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him; and some said: What is it, that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.
19Anih te a tuuk uh tih Areo Pagos la a khuen uh phoeiah, “Nang loh a thai la thuituennah dongah na thui te ka ming uh thai aya?
19And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?
20Kaimih hnavue ah nang khuen dongah a ngen tah suel coeng. Te dongah tekah a ti ngaih te ming ham ka cai uh,” a ti uh.
20For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
21Te vaengkah Athen pum neh aka laiom yinlai ham khaw a tloe moenih. A hoeng hoep vaengah pakhat khaw a thui tih a thai la pakhat khaw a yaak uh.
21(Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.)
22Te dongah Paul loh Areo Pagos laklung ah pai tih, “Athen hlang rhoek, cungkuem dongah na cuep uh te ka hmuh.
22But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious.
23Tedae ka caeh vengah na bawknah te ka thuep hatah hmueihtuk pakhat dongah MANGVAWT Pathen la a daek te ka hmuh bal. Te dongah mangvawt taengah tho na thueng uh. He ni kai loh nangmih taengah ka doek.
23For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God. What therefore you worship, without knowing it, that I preach to you:
24Diklai neh a khuikah boeih aka saii Pathen, vaan neh diklai kah Boeipa la aka om he kutsai bawkim ah kho a sak moenih. Hlanghing kut loh a yuh a yam ham pakhat khaw a kuek moenih.
24God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25Amah loh a cungkuem taengah hingnah, hiil neh a cungkuem he a paek.
25Neither is he served with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing; seeing it is he who giveth to all life, and breath, and all things:
26Pakhat lamloh diklai hman boeih ah khosak ham namtom hlang boeih khaw a saii. Khoning a hmoel tih amih omnah te khorhi la a suem pah.
26And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation.
27Pathen te a toem atah amah te tapkhoeh m'phathuep sak tih m'ming sak ni. Tedae amah te mamih pakhat rhip taeng lamloh lakhla la a om moenih.
27That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us:
28Amah dongah n'hing uh tih m'pongpa la ng'om uh. Nangmih khui kah hlangvang loh hlohlai neh a thui vanbangla, amah kah namtu la n'om uh.
28For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.
29Pathen kah namtu la aka om loh sui, ngun, lungto, bungkhutnah kutnoek neh hlang kah poeknah he Pathen bangla om tila poek ham a om moenih.
29Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man.
30Kotalhnah tue vaengah Pathen loh n'hnoelrhoeng mai cakhaw hlang boeih te yut sak ham khotomrhali a uen coeng.
30And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance.
31A hmoel hlang loh duengnah dongah lunglai he laitloek thil ham khohnin te a pai sak coeng. Anih te duek lamkah a thoh tih a cungkuem ham tangnah khaw a soep sak,” a ti nah.
31Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed; giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead.
32Duek lamkah thohkoepnah te a yaak uh vaengah hlangvang loh nueih thil cakhaw a ngen long tah, “Nang kawng he koep ka hnatun bal ni,” a ti uh.
32And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
33Te vanbangla Paul tah amih khui lamkah loh vik nong.
33So Paul went out from among them.
34Tedae aka tangnah hlang hlangvang rhoek tah Paul taengah kap uh. Amih khuiah Areopagite khoboei Dionysus, te phoeiah huta pakhat, a ming ah Damaris neh amih taengkah a tloe rhoek khaw om uh.
34But certain men adhering to him, did believe; among whom was also Dionysius, the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
