¹And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews.

¹O Pavlo ai o Silas nakhle pai Amphipolis, ai pai Apollonia, ai aresle ande Thessalonica, kai le Zhiduvuria sas le synagogue kotse.

²And according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them from the scriptures,

²Sar kerelas wo butivar, o Pavlo, dia andre ande synagogue, trin Savatone gelo ai divinilas lensa pa zakonuria le Devlesko.

³opening and laying down that the Christ must have suffered and risen up from among the dead, and that this is the Christ, Jesus whom *I* announce to you.

³Motholas lenge ai sikavelas lenge, ke O Kristo trobulas te chinuil, ai te zhuvindil mashkar le mule; ai kado Jesus, kai mothav tumenge pa leste, wo si O Kristo.

⁴And some of them believed, and joined themselves to Paul and Silas, and of the Greeks who worshipped, a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

⁴Uni anda lende pachaie, ai raduimesas le Pavlosa ai o Silas, ai but andal Grekuria rhuginaspe ka Del, ai vi but zhuvlia kai sas gojaver.

⁵But the Jews having been stirred up to jealousy, and taken to [themselves] certain wicked men of the lowest rabble, and having got a crowd together, set the city in confusion; and having beset the house of Jason sought to bring them out to the people;

⁵Le zhiduvuria kai chi pachanaspe ando Del nas lenge mishto, ai line pesa uni manushen kai nas lashe, kai kerenas baio mashkar o narodo, ai kerde bunto ando foro, ai gele ka kher ieke manushesko kai busholas Jason, ai rodenas kotse o Pavlo ai o Silas te anen le ka narodo.

⁶and not having found them, dragged Jason and certain brethren before the politarchs, crying out, These [men] that have set the world in tumult, are come here also,

⁶Numa chi arakhle le, line kodole manushes kai busholas Jason, ai mai avre phralen kai zhandari kodole foroske ai tsipinas, "Kadala manush sa rimosarde e lumia, avile vi katse.

⁷whom Jason has received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying, that there is another king, Jesus.

⁷Ai o Jason meklia le te aven leste, ai sa kado narodo chi keren o zakono amare amperatosko, o Caesar, phenenas, ke si aver amperato kai bushol Jesus."

⁸And they troubled the crowd and the politarchs when they heard these things.

⁸Kodola vorbi xoliarde le narodos, ai le zhandari kai sas ando foro.

⁹And having taken security of Jason and the rest, they let them go.

⁹O Jason ai le kolaver kai sas lesa, pochinde love kai zhandari ai o zhandari meklia le pala kodia.

¹⁰But the brethren immediately sent away, in the night, Paul and Silas to Berea; who, being arrived, went away into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹⁰Strazo le phral kodia riat phende le Pavloske ai o Silas te zhantar ande Berea, ai kana aresle kotse dine ande khangeri le Zhidovonge.

¹¹And these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, receiving the word with all readiness of mind, daily searching the scriptures if these things were so.

¹¹Kodola Zhiduvuria mai lashe sas de sar le Zhiduvuria kai sas ande Thessalonica, ashunde E Vorba le Devleski dragosa, ai swako dies lenas sama ande Vorba le Devleski, te si vorta so mothonas lenge.

¹²Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few.

¹²But anda lende pachaiepe, ai vi but zhuvlia kai sas Grekaiki, kai sas andai vitsa le barvalenge, ai but manush.

¹³But when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was announced in Berea also by Paul, they came there also, stirring up the crowds.

¹³Numa kana le Zhiduvuria andai Thessalonica ashunde ke o Pavlo motholas pai Vorba le Devleski ande Berea, gele kotse te rimon le narodos.

¹⁴And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there.

¹⁴Strazo kodo phral kotsar phende le Pauloske te zhaltar karing o pai, numa o Silas ai o Timothy beshlo ande Berea.

¹⁵But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and, having received a commandment to Silas and Timotheus, that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed.

¹⁵Kodola kai angerenas le Paulos, gele lesa zhi ande Athens, porme mekle les, ai geletar palpale, ai o Pavlo phendia lenge te phenel le Silasoske ai o Timothy te aven leste mai sigo.

¹⁶But in Athens, while Paul was waiting for them, his spirit was painfully excited in him seeing the city given up to idolatry.

¹⁶O Pavlo azhukerelas le ande Athens, numa haliarelas ande peste ke lesko duxo nas leske mishto, ke dikhlia le manush rhuginaspe kal ikoni ande sa kodo foro.

¹⁷He reasoned therefore in the synagogue with the Jews, and those who worshipped, and in the market-place every day with those he met with.

¹⁷Divinilas ande khangeri le Zhidovonsa, ai vi kodolensa kai nas Zhiduvuria ai kai rhuginaspe ka Del. Ai vi kodolensa ando foro mashkaral po bazari swako dies kai arakhelas.

¹⁸But some also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers attacked him. And some said, What would this chatterer say? and some, He seems to be an announcer of foreign demons, because he announced the glad tidings of Jesus and the resurrection [to them].

¹⁸Uni andal dokxtoria le Epicureononge ai le Stoiconge marenas mui le Paulosa, uni mothonas, "So si kado divano?" Uni kai ashunenas ke mothol pa Jesus ai pa zhuvindimos, mothonas, "Wo mothol pa aver dela."

¹⁹And having taken hold on him they brought [him] to Areopagus, saying, Might we know what this new doctrine which is spoken by thee [is]?

¹⁹Antunchi line les, ai angerde les ka Areopagus, phenenas, "Mangas te zhanas so si kado nevo zakono kai tu sichares?

²⁰For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We wish therefore to know what these things may mean.

²⁰Ke tu keres ame te ashunas dieli kai si shode. Ame mangliamas te zhanas so si kodola dieli."

²¹Now all [the] Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tell and to hear the news.

²¹Sa le manush kai beshenas ande Athens ai le streia kai beshenas ande Athens, nakhavenas penge vriama te mothon vai te ashunen nevimos.

²²And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship;

²²Antunchi o Pavlo beshlo ande punrhende po plai bushol 'Mars', ai phendia lenge, "Tume kai san andai Athens, me dikhav ke tume san manush kai roden le zakonuria le devlenge ande soste godi.

²³for, passing through and beholding your shrines, I found also an altar on which was inscribed, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye reverence, not knowing [him], him I announce to you.

²³Chaches nakhlem angla tumaro foro, ai dikhlem savendar dieli si tume te keren tumare khangeria, ai vi arakhlem ek than kai si ramome pe leste, "Kai ek del kai chi zhanas." Tume rhuginpe ka leste bi te zhanen les. Pa kodo si kai mothav tumenge.

²⁴The God who has made the world and all things which are in it, *he*, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,

²⁴O Del kai kerdia e lumia ai so godi si, wo si o baro po cheri ai pe phuv, chi beshel andel tampluria (khangeria) kai kerde le manush andel vas.

²⁵nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things;

²⁵Nai podaime le manushenge vastensa, sar te trobulsardino les vari so, wo kai del savorhen o traio, ai barval, ai vi la kolaver dieli.

²⁶and has made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined ordained times and the boundaries of their dwelling,

²⁶Kerdia sa le manushen te aven anda iek rat, ai te beshen pe sa e lumia, ai thodia e vriama mai anglal, ai le thana vorta kai trobulas te beshen.

²⁷that they may seek God; if indeed they might feel after him and find him, although he is not far from each one of us:

²⁷Wo manglia le manush te roden le Devles, ai te thon zor te arakhen les le rodemasa, marka ke nai dur amendar.

²⁸for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring.

²⁸Ke ande leste si ame o traio, ai sai mishtisavas, ai sam so sam, ai vi tumare gramnoturia phende, "Ke leske shave sam."

²⁹Being therefore [the] offspring of God, we ought not to think that which is divine to be like gold or silver or stone, [the] graven form of man's art and imagination.

²⁹Te sam andal shave le Devleske, nashti pachas ke O Del si sar o sumnkai, vai sar o rup, vai sar o bax, kai sas ramome katar e buchi ai katar le mashinki le manusheske.

³⁰God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,

³⁰O Del chi mai lel sama palpale kana sas le vriama kai le manush chi zhanenas kanch, akana mothol sa le manushenge kai godi si te keinpe anda penge bezexa.

³¹because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by [the] man whom he has appointed, giving the proof [of it] to all [in] having raised him from among [the] dead.

³¹Ke thodia ek dies, kai kerela kris pe lumia le chachimasa ieke manushesa kai wo alosardia; dia te zhanen savorhe kana andai kodole manushes, katar e martia ka traio.

³²And when they heard [of the] resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this.

³²Kana ashunde pa zhuvindimos mashkar le mule, uni asanas, ai uni mothonas, pe kadia buchi pa zhuvindimos desa amensa duma aver data.

³³Thus Paul went out of their midst.

³³Porme o Pavlo gelotar mashkar lende.

³⁴But some men joining themselves to him believed; among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.

³⁴Numa uni linepe pala leste, ai pachaiepe, mashkar lende sas ek manush kai busholas Dionysius, ai wo sas anda kodo narodo kai chidelaspe te keren kris. E zhuvli kai busholas Damaris pachaiape ai mai aver lensa.
