1Paul ac Silas fahsr sasla Amphipolis ac Apollonia ac tuku nu Thessalonica, yen ma oasr iwen lolngok se we.
1Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2In oana ke el oru pacl nukewa uh, Paul el som nu in iwen lolngok. Ac ke len Sabbath tolu el sramsram nu sin mwet uh, ac rit ke kas in Ma Simusla,
2Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3ac aketeya kas inge, ac akpwayei lah Christ el enenu in keok ac sifil moulyak liki misa. Paul el fahk, “Jesus se ma nga fahkak nu suwos kac inge, el pa Christ.”
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.”
4Kutu selos lulalfongi ac welulang Paul ac Silas; oayapa kutu mutan ma eteyuk fin acn we, ac pus pac mwet Greek su alu nu sin God.
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.
5Tusruktu mwet Jew elos sok selos, ac orani kutu mwet lusrongten ma forfor wel inkanek uh, ac orala sie u in orek lokoalok. U se inge akfohsyauk mwet in siti uh nufon, ac utyak nu in lohm sel Jason, in sokol Paul ac Silas ac usaltal uh nu yurin mwet uh.
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.
6Tusruktu ke elos tia konaltalak, elos amakunulma Jason ac kutu pac mwet lulalfongi nu ye mutun mwet fulat in siti uh, ac wowoyak ac fahk, “Mwet inge orek fohs yen nukewa! Ac inge elos tuku pac nu in siti sesr uh,
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,
7ac Jason el solaltalak nu in lohm sel ah. Elos nukewa kunaus ma sap lal Tokosra Fulat, ac fahk mu oasr pac siena tokosra saya, suh inel pa Jesus.”
7whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
8Ke un mwet uh, oayapa mwet fulat lun siti uh lohng kas inge, elos arulana wonak kac.
8The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
9Mwet fulat lun siti uh sap tuh Jason ac mwet lulalfongi wial uh in moli lupan mani ma oakwuki in aksukosokyalos, na filfilla elos.
9When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10Ke tufahna fongeni, mwet lulalfongi elos supwalla Paul ac Silas nu Berea. Ke eltal sun acn we eltal som nu ke iwen lolngok lun mwet Jew uh.
10The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
11Mwet in acn sac elos engan liki mwet Thessalonica in eis mwe lutlut. Elos arulana oaru in lohng kas ma srumunyuk uh, ac elos lutlut len nukewa ke Ma Simusla uh in liye lah pwayena ma Paul el srumun uh.
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.
12Mwet puspis selos lulalfongi, ac pus mutan kacto sin mwet Greek, oayapa mukul Greek puspis elos lulalfongi pac.
12Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
13Tusruktu ke mwet Jew in acn Thessalonica lohngak lah Paul el fahkak kas lun God in acn Berea, elos tuku nu we ac mutawauk in pirik ac akfohsyauk nunak lun mwet puspis.
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.
14In pacl sacna, mwet lulalfongi elos supwalla Paul nu ke sie acn wekof uh; a Silas ac Timothy eltal mutana Berea.
14Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
15Mwet ma usal Paul ah welul na kalla nwe Athens, na elos folokla nu Berea, us sap soko sel Paul nu sel Silas ac Timothy, eltal in tuh sa na som nu yorol.
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.
16Ke Paul el tuh muta soanel Silas ac Timothy in acn Athens, el arulana toasrla ke el liye lah puslana ma sruloala in acn we.
16Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
17Ouinge el som nu in iwen lolngok ac alolngoki yurin mwet Jew ac oayapa mwet saya su alu nu sin God. Ac len nukewa el sramsram yurin kutena mwet ma tuku nu in acn in tukeni in siti uh.
17So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
18Oasr pac kutu mwet luti ke u se pangpang mwet Epicurus ac mwet Stoic elos wi pac alein nu sel. Kutu selos siyuk mu, “Mea mwet filanginkas se inge fahk uh?” Ac kutu mwet uh topuk, “El luman kaskas ke kutu god lun mutanfahl saya.” Elos fahk ouinge mweyen Paul el luti ke Jesus oayapa ke sifil moulyak uh.
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.
19Ouinge elos usalla Paul nu yurin un mwet pwapa fulat lun siti uh, su pangpang Areopagus, ac fahk, “Kut ke etu lah mea kalmen luti sasu se kom sramsramkin inge.
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?
20Kutu ma kut lohng kom fahk uh luman sakirik sesr in lohng, ac kut ke etu lah mea kalmac.” (
20For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
21Mweyen mwet Athens nukewa, ac mwetsac su muta we, lungse sisla pacl lalos in sramsramkin ac lohng ke kutena pweng sasu.)
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.
22Paul el tuyak ye mutun mwet pwapa fulat lun siti uh ac fahk, “Nga liye lah in ouiya nukewa kowos mwet Athens uh arulana akfulatye alu.
22Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
23Mweyen ke nga forfor in siti lowos uh ac liye acn kowos alu we, nga konauk sie loang su simla kac, ‘Nu sin Sie God su Tia Eteyuk.’ Ma se ma kowos alu nu kac ingan kowos finne tia akilen, pa nga ac fahkak nu suwos.
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.
24God su orala faclu ac ma nukewa loac uh, El Leum lun kusrao ac faclu, ac El tia muta in tempul ma orekla ke poun mwet.
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.
25Ac El tia pac enenu kutena ma su kut ac sang nu sel ke orekma lun paosr, mweyen El pa sang moul ac momong ac ma nukewa nu sin mwet nukewa.
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.
26El orala mutanfahl nukewa sin mwet sefanna, ac oru tuh elos in muta apunla fin faclu nufon. El sifacna oakiya meet lusen pacl ac lupan acn elos in muta we.
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,
27El oru ma inge nukewa tuh mwet uh in sokol, ac elos in mau ku in konalak ke elos kahlimunul. Tusruktu pwayeiya uh, God El tiana muta loes liki kutena sesr,
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.
28oana ke sie mwet tuh fahk, ‘In El kut moul, kut mukuikui, ac kut oasr.’ Oana ke kutu mwet kuhn on lowos uh fahk, ‘Kut pac, kut tulik natul.’
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.’
29Na ke kut tulik nutin God uh, wo kut in tia nunku mu ouiya lal uh ku in lumahyuk ke gold, ku silver, ku eot, ma tafleyukla in luman ma sruloala ke lalmwetmet ac usrnguk lun mwet.
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.
30God El tuh nunak munas nu sin mwet ke nikin lalos in pacl meet, a inge El sap nu selos nukewa yen nukewa in forla liki ouiya koluk lalos.
30The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
31Tuh El oakiya tari sie len ma El ac nununku faclu nufon ke nununku suwohs, ke sie mwet su El sulela tari. El akpwayei ma se inge nu sin mwet nukewa ke El akmoulyauk mwet se inge liki misa!”
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.”
32Ke elos lohng lah Paul el kaskaskin akmoulyauk sie mwet liki misa, kutu selos aksruksrukel, a kutu mwet uh fahk, “Kut ke lohng kom in sifil srumun ke ma se inge ke sie pac pacl.”
32Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
33Na Paul el illa liki tukeni sac.
33Thus Paul went out from among them.
34Kutu mwet uh welulang in lulalfongi, ac sie selos inge pa Dionysius, sie sin un mwet pwapa fulat, ac oasr pac mutan se pangpang Damaris, ac kutu pac mwet saya.
34But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
