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

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

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

²and according to the custom of Paul, he went in unto them, and for three sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the Writings,

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.

³opening and alleging, `That the Christ it behoved to suffer, and to rise again out of the dead, and that this is the Christ — Jesus whom I proclaim to you.`

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.

⁴And certain of them did believe, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also of the worshipping Greeks a great multitude, of the principal women also not a few.

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.

⁵And the unbelieving Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to them of the loungers certain evil men, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having assailed also the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring [them] to the populace,

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.

⁶and not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the city rulers, calling aloud — `These, having put the world in commotion, are also here present,

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."

⁷whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king — Jesus.`

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

⁸And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,

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

⁹and having taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

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

¹⁰And the brethren immediately, through the night, sent forth both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having come, went to the synagogue of the Jews;

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.

¹¹and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, every day examining the Writings whether those things were so;

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

¹²many, indeed, therefore, of them did believe, and of the honourable Greek women and men not a few.

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

¹³And when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that also in Berea was the word of God declared by Paul, they came thither also, agitating the multitudes;

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

¹⁴and then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul, to go on as it were to the sea, but both Silas and Timothy were remaining there.

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.

¹⁵And those conducting Paul, brought him unto Athens, and having received a command unto Silas and Timotheus that with all speed they may come unto him, they departed;

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.

¹⁶and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,

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.

¹⁷therefore, indeed, he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the worshipping persons, and in the market-place every day with those who met with him.

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."

¹⁸And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, `What would this seed picker wish to say?` and others, `Of strange demons he doth seem to be an announcer;` because Jesus and the rising again he did proclaim to them as good news,

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

¹⁹having also taken him, unto the Areopagus they brought [him], saying, `Are we able to know what [is] this new teaching that is spoken by thee,

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

²⁰for certain strange things thou dost bring to our ears? we wish, then, to know what these things would wish to be;`

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

²¹and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.

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.

²²And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, `Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;

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.

²³for passing through and contemplating your objects of worship, I found also an erection on which had been inscribed: To God — unknown; whom, therefore — not knowing — ye do worship, this One I announce to you.

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.

²⁴`God, who did make the world, and all things in it, this One, of heaven and of earth being Lord, in temples made with hands doth not dwell,

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

²⁵neither by the hands of men is He served — needing anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things;

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.

²⁶He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth — having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings —

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

²⁷to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and find, — though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,

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

²⁸for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring.

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.

²⁹`Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, graving of art and device of man;

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.

³⁰the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform,

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.

³¹because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.`

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

³²And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, `We will hear thee again concerning this;`

³³Porme o Pavlo gelotar mashkar lende.

³³and so Paul went forth from the midst of 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.

³⁴and certain men having cleaved to him, did believe, among whom [is] also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name Damaris, and others with them.
