Acts 17 (PBPE) · Opened

1Isa katika, Hantek Paulus andri Silas haut tapitah Amfipolis andri Apolonia, here hampe hang Tesalonika, hang yaru naan sinagoge ulun Yahudi.When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

2Balalu, kala kabiasaen Paulus, hanye masuk mapenah ulun, nelang, salawah telu andrau sabat hanye bapaner andri here ayat surat barasis.As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

3Palus manarang nelang ngami bukti amun Kristus parlu kaingkam nakahanang nelang ambuan hingka helang ulun matei, palus ka eyau, "Yesus yina sa rahat nakabarku ma naun, hanye yiru Kristus."explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,” he declared.

4Balalu, rama hingka here sa persaya palus uma Paulus andri Silas. Kala yiru pada rama ulun Yunani sa takut ma Alatalla nelang puang butit kawan wawei terhormat.Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few leading women.

5Kude, kawan ulun Yahudi jari bahiri atei palus ngenei papire ulun galandangan sarama hang daerah yiru, here ngumpul ulun rama palus ngulah deruh litar tumpuk, balalu manyarang lewu Yason palus ngantara Paulus andri Silas kai enei here ma luar nadap ulun rama.The Jews, however, became jealous. So they brought in some troublemakers from the marketplace, formed a mob, and sent the city into an uproar. They raided Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas, hoping to bring them out to the people.

6Hantek here puang kahaba Paulus andri Silas, here nyujut Yason andri papire pulaksanai seiman mahadapan kawan pejabat tumpuk, ka eyau andri lengan mehet, "Kawan ulun yina sa haut ngulah rawek dunia, haut hawi pada ma yina.But when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have now come here,

7Nelang, Yason narime here, here katuluh ngulah tindakan nawan hukum Kaisar andri ngantuh amun naan raja lain, hanye yiru Yesus."and Jason has welcomed them into his home. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, named Jesus!”

8Ulun rama amput pejabat tumpuk jari geger giruh tawuk karengei hal yiru.On hearing this, the crowd and city officials were greatly disturbed.

9Balalu, udi here narime jaminan hingka Yason andri sa lainni, kawan ulun yiru mambebaskan here. Paulus andri Silas ma tumpuk BereaAnd they collected bond from Jason and the others and then released them.

10Kawan pulaksanai saiman balalu nunyu Paulus andri Silas, malem yiru pada, tulak ma Berea. Dami hampe yaru, here nunung sinagoge ulun Yahudi.As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

11Kawan ulun Yahudi hang yina labis maeh ateini na banding kawan ulun hang Tesalonika daya here narima Firman andri sanang atei, nelang tiap andrau here mantaru surat barasis himpan karasa inun sa na ajar yiru bujur.Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.

12Dagana yiru, hene hingka here jari persaya, nelang puang butit pada kawan ulun Yunani terpandang hau upu atawa wawei.As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.

13Kude, tawuk kawan ulun Yahudi hang Tesalonika karasa amun Paulus pada nampe lengan Alatalla hang Barea, here jua hawi ma Barea palus ngajahujak ma rebe ulun rama.But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God in Berea, they went there themselves to incite and agitate the crowds.

14Balalu, hinang, kawan pulaksanai saiman nunyu Paulas tulak hampe ma pantai, kude Silas andri Timotius tatap muneng hang yiru.The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.

15Kawan ulun sa nengau Paulus ngatet hampe ma Atena, nelang dami narima pesen hingka Paulus ma Silas andri Timotius himpan here wansit ngapung hanye. Here balalu tulak. Paulus hang Tumpuk AtenaThose who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then returned with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.

16Padingian Paulus ngandrei here hang Atena, Roh ni kaingkam mahanang hang wuang tengani dagana hanye kadinung tumpuk yiru penu andri kawan patung barhala.While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply disturbed in his spirit to see that the city was full of idols.

17Daya yiru, hang sinagoge hanye bapaner andri kawan ulun Yahudi baya kawan ulun lain sa takut ma Alatalla, pada hang unengan ulun rama, tiap andrau, andri kawan ulun sa naan hang yaru.So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace with those he met each day.

18Papire ulun panai hingka aliran Epikuros andri Stoa pada basual andri hanye, papire teka here ka eyau, "Inun sa kai na paner ulun hene wawa yiti? Sa lain pada ka eyau,"wangun ni hanye erang ka ulun pamberita kawan dewa bangsa lain." Daya hanye bapaner neu Yesus nelang neu kabangkitan.Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was proclaiming the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.

19Balalu, here ngayak palus ngenei hanye ma Areopagus, andri ka eyau,"Iyuhlah kami karasa ajaran wau inun sa na waranu yiti?So they took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, where they asked him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?

20Daya, hanyu ngantuh papire hal sa asing hang silu kami. Kami hamen karasa inun artini yiru,"For you are bringing some strange notions to our ears, and we want to know what they mean.”

21(Tawuk yiru, katuluh ulun Atena andri kawan ulun asing sa muneng hang yaru katuju tuu nangalis waktu here andri puang ngulah inun-inun kasuali bapaner andri nyanrengei kawan hal wau.)Now all the Athenians and foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing more than hearing and articulating new ideas.

22Balalu, Paulus mindri hang peneh-penah Areopagus nelang ka eyau, "Uu kawan ulun Atena, aku lentah kadinung hang wuang katuluh hal naun tuu ba agama.Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious.

23Daya, hantek aku pasiar nelang ninung uneng sumbayang naun, aku pada kadinung uneng nyarah parapah hang yaru naan nasurat, 'MA ALATALLA SA PAUANG TARU.' Dagana yiru, inun sa naun sambah amun naun puang kataru hanye, yiru sa waraku ma naun.For as I walked around and examined your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore what you worship as something unknown, I now proclaim to you.

24Alatalla sa ngulah dunia andri katuluh sa naan hang wuangni, daya hanye Tuhan hang amau langit nelang tane, puang muneng hang wuang kawan lewu dewa sa na ulah daya murunsia,The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands.

25puang pada hanye nakarawah kawan tangan murunsia, iyalah hanye ilaku inun-inun daya Hanye raerai sa ngami pamelum andri hewuk nelang katantuluhni.Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.

26Andri, hanye ngulah, hingka erang ka ulun, hanye ngulah katuluh bangsa murunsia himpan muneng hang amau tane yina, udi nukas kawan musim nelang kawan watas uneng welum here,From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.

27himpan here ngantara Alatalla, nelang, amun tau here kaiyuh negei Hanye andri manalu Hanye dagana Hanye puang lawit hingka takam katantuluh.God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.

28Daya, hang wuang hanye, takam welum, bagarak, nelang naan. Ayub 12:10 Iyalah, kawan panyair naun ka eyau 'Dagana takan yina pada samula kawan anak-Ni'‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’

29Jari, daya takam samula kawan anak Alatalla, takam harusni puang bapikir amun wangun Alatalla yiru iyalah amas, atawa perak, atawa watu, sa na ulah manyu kapandaian andri pamikiran murunsia.Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.

30Dagana yiru, udi wayah kalungaen takam puang na itung lagi, itati Alatalla iwara ma uras ulun hang awe-awe himpan batobat,Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all people everywhere to repent.

31daya hanye haut nukas diye hang hindra katika sagar mangadili dunia hang wuang keadilan itah isa ka Ulun sa haut na pidi-Ni, udi hiye ngami bukti ma uras ulun andri nyamelum mulek ulun yiru teka pampatei."For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”

32Nelang, tawuk here karengei neu welum mulek teka pampatei, papire ka ulun mulai ngasese, tagal sa lain ka eyau, "Kami hamen hanyu bapaner lagi neu hal yina."When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.”

33Balalu, Paulus tulak hingka penah-penah here.At that, Paul left the Areopagus.

34Kude papire ulun umba andri hanye nelang parsaya, tamasuk pada Dionisius anggota Areopagus, andri erang ka ulun wawei bangaran Damaris, nelang papire ka ulun lainni sa uma hare.But some joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others who were with them.
