¹Paulus pai' Silas mpokaliliu pomako' -ra ntara hi ngata Amfipolis pai' Apolonia, rata hi ngata Tesalonika. Hi Tesalonika toe, ria tomi posampayaa to Yahudi.

¹Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:

²Jadi', kahilou-na wo'o-mi Paulus hi tomi posampayaa toe hewa kabiasaa-na, pai' momewai' ngkalolita hante tauna to morumpu hi retu. Tolu mingku mometuku', hewa toe oa' pobago Paulus hi Eo Sabat.

²and Paul, as his custom was, went in unto them, and for three sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

³Mobasa-i Buku Tomoroli', napakanoto pai' nabajahi-raka batua-na, na'uli': "Magau' Topetolo' to najanci Pue' Ala owi, bate kana mporata kaparia duu' -na mate, aga tuwu' nculii' moto-i. Yesus to kulolita-kokoi toi, Hi'a-mi Magau' Topetolo' to ralowa owi-e."

³opening and alleging that it behooved the Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom, [said he,] I proclaim unto you, is the Christ.

⁴Ria-ra to Yahudi to mpangala' lolita toe, pai' -ra mpotuku' Paulus pai' Silas. Wori' wo'o-ra to Yunani to mengkoru hi Pue' Ala pai' wori' wo'o tobine to bohe hanga' -ra, mepangala' wo'o-ramo-rawo hi lolita to nakeni Paulus toe.

⁴And some of them were persuaded, and consorted with Paul and Silas, and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

⁵Aga to Yahudi to uma mepangala', mohingi' -ramo mpokahingii' -ra hira' Paulus pai' Silas. Toe pai' me'ukei' -ra mpo'ukei' tauna to dada'a to mengkalose-lose hi rala ngata. Wori' -mi to morumpu, mako' -ramo hilou mpobabehi pewongoia hi rala ngata. Pomako' -ra toe, rata hi tomi Yason, apa' hi ria po'ohaa' -ra Paulus pai' Silas. Mesua' -ramo hi rala tomi toe ke doko' mpohoko' pai' mpokeni-ra hilou hi ntodea.

⁵But the Jews, being moved with jealousy, took unto them certain vile fellows of the rabble, and gathering a crowd, set the city on an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them forth to the people.

⁶Jadi', apa' uma-ra raruai', Yason moto-mi to rakahurui. Rahoko' -i hante ba hangkuja dua topepangala' hi Yesus ntani' -na, pai' radii' -ra hilou hi topohura ngata. Rata ria, mejeu' -ra, ra'uli': "Paulus pai' doo-doo-na toi-e mpaka'ingu' tauna humalili' dunia'. Hiaa' rata wo'o-ramo hi ngata-ta toi-e.

⁶And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

⁷Pai' Yason tohe'ii, natarima-ra-hana hi rala tomi-na! Hira' toe-mi to mpo'ewa hawa' Kaisar, magau' -ta hi Roma, ra'uli' karia-na magau' ntani' -na to rahanga' Yesus."

⁷whom Jason hath received: and these all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus.

⁸Mpo'epe lolita-ra toe, morani' mpu'u-mi nono ntodea hante nono-ra wo'o topohura.

⁸And they troubled the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.

⁹Ka'omea-na, Yason pai' topepangala' hi Yesus ntani' -na rapopowaya', pai' lako' rabahaka.

⁹And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

¹⁰Hi bengi toe, ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -ra to hi Tesalonika mpo'uli' -raka Paulus pai' Silas: "Agina malai-mokoi ngkai rei." Jadi', malai mpu'u-ramo hilou hi ngata Berea. Karata-ra hi Berea, hilou-ra hi tomi posampayaa to Yahudi.

¹⁰And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea: who when they were come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹¹To Yahudi to hi Berea toera, lompe' nono-ra, uma-ra hewa to hi Tesalonika. Goe' -ra mpo'epe Kareba Yesus, pai' butu eo-na rapewulihi' Buku Tomoroli' bona ra'inca ba makono lolita Paulus ba uma.

¹¹Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.

¹²Ka'omea-na, wori' to Yahudi toera to mepangala' -mi hi Yesus, pai' wori' to Yunani to bohe hanga' -ra, mepangala' wo'o-ramo hi Yesus, lompe' tomane lompe' tobine.

¹²Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honorable estate, and of men, not a few.

¹³Uma mahae ngkai ree, to Yahudi to hi ngata Tesalonika mpo'epe karata-na wo'o-mi Paulus hi Berea mpokeni Lolita Alata'ala. Toe pai' kahilou-ra wo'o-mi hi Berea. Karata-ra hi ria, ra'ukei' pai' raranii' nono ntodea.

¹³But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed of Paul at Beroea also, they came thither likewise, stirring up and troubling the multitudes.

¹⁴Jadi' ngkai ree, ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -na Paulus mpesahui mpobawa-i hilou hi wiwi' tahi'. Aga Silas pai' Timotius, tida moto-ra hi Berea.

¹⁴And then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul to go as far as to the sea: and Silas and Timothy abode there still.

¹⁵Tauna to mpobawa Paulus toera mpobawa-i rata hi ngata Atena. Oti toe na'uli' Paulus mpo'uli' -raka: "Nculii' -mokoi hilou hi Berea, pai' uli' -raka Silas pai' Timotius bona sohi' -ra tumai hi aku'."

¹⁵But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.

¹⁶Bula-na Paulus mpopea-ra Silas pai' Timotius hi Atena, susa' -mi nono-na mpohilo kawori' -na pinotau to rapue' to Atena.

¹⁶Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he beheld the city full of idols.

¹⁷Toe pai' hi tomi posampayaa, momewai' ngkalolita-i hante to Yahudi pai' tau ntani' -na to mesua' -mi agama Yahudi. Pai' butu eo-na, momewai' ngkalolita wo'o-i hante hema-hema to narua' hi rala ngata.

¹⁷So he reasoned in the synagogue with Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with them that met him.

¹⁸Hi ngata Atena toe, ria wo'o-ra tauna to pante to mpotuku' tudui' Epikuros pai' tudui' to Stoa. Tauna to pante toera mpomehono' -ki Paulus. Ria-ra to mpotuntui' -i, ra'uli': "Mpo'uli' napa-idie tauna toei-e mai? Pe'inca-na hangkedi', tapi' lolita-na wori'." Ria wo'o-ra to mpo'uli': "Ba lue' doko' natudui' -ta hanga' pue' to ko'ia ta'incai," apa' hi rala tudui' -na, Paulus mpokahangai' Yesus pai' katuwu' -ra nculii' manusia' ngkai kamatea.

¹⁸And certain also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, What would this babbler say? others, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

¹⁹Toe pai' rabawa-imi hilou hi poromua bohe to rahanga' Bulu' Areopagus, ra'uli' -ki: "Doko' ki'epe-kaina tudui' -nu to bo'u tetu-e.

¹⁹And they took hold of him, and brought him unto the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by thee?

²⁰Ko'ia ria ki'epei tudui' to motani' rahi hewa tetu, pai' doko' ki'inca batua-na."

²⁰For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.

²¹(Apa' to Atena pai' tau ntani' -na to mo'oha' hi Atena, kagoea' -ra doko' ntora mpo'epe pai' mpojarita lolita-lolita to bo'u.)

²¹(Now all the Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.)

²²Ngkai ree, pokore-nami Paulus hi laintongo' -ra to morumpu hi Bulu' Areopagus toe, pai' na'uli': "Pue' ngata Atena! Kuhilo hi rala butu nyala pogau' -ni, mo'agama mpu'u-koi.

²²And Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus, and said, Ye men of Athens, in all things, I perceive that ye are very religious.

²³Apa' bula-ku modao' hi rala ngata-ni mpohilo pepuea' -ni, kuhilo-kuwo hameha' watu pepuea' to ria ukia' -na hewa tohe'i: `Pepuea' hi Pue' to Uma Ra'incai Hanga' -na.' Jadi', pue' to uma ni'incai hanga' -na tetu-e, Hi'a-mi to kuparata-kokoi tohe'i-e.

²³For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. What therefore ye worship in ignorance, this I set forth unto you.

²⁴Alata'ala to mpajadi' dunia' hante ihi' -na omea, Hi'a-mi Pue' langi' pai' dunia'. Uma-i-hawo mo'oha' hi tomi pepuea' to nababehi manusia'.

²⁴The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

²⁵Uma wo'o-i merapi' tulungi hi manusia', apa' Hi'a-hana to mpowai' -ta katuwua' pai' inoha' pai' hawe'ea to taparaluu.

²⁵neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

²⁶Ngkai hadua tauna, napopomuli hawe'ea manusia', pai' nahubui-ta mpo'ohai' humalili' dunia'. Napakatantu ami' -mi ngkai lomo' -na sipa' tana' po'ohaa' butu negara pai' tempo poparenta-na.

²⁶and he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined [their] appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;

²⁷Nababehi hewa toe bona doko' ta'inca kahema-na, bona ane tapali' -i, tapohirua' mpu'u-ki. Apa' kakoo-kono-na, uma-i molaa ngkai kita' butu dua-ta.

²⁷that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:

²⁸Hewa to ra'uli' totu'a: `Ngkai Hi'a-wadi pai' alaa-na tuwu' -ta pai' mongkale-ta pai' ria-ta hi rala dunia'.' Hibalia wo'o to na'uki' ntu'a-ni owi to pante mpobabehi rona', na'uli': `Hawe'ea-tale, ana' Alata'ala moto-ta.'

²⁸for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

²⁹"Jadi' ompi' -ompi', apa' lawi' kita' ana' -na, uma lompe' ane Pue' Ala taponcawa lence to rababehi ngkai bulawa ba ngkai salaka' ba ngkai watu, ntuku' kapantea manusia'.

²⁹Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.

³⁰Owi, ane mepue' -ta hi pue' to uma makono hewa tetu, uma-ta nahuku' Alata'ala. Napiri moto mata-na hi kawojoa-ta tetu. Tapi' hewa toe lau, nahubui hawe'ea manusia' hi humalili' dunia' medea ngkai jeko' -ra.

³⁰The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent:

³¹Apa' napakatantu-mi hangkani tempo mpai', mpobotuhi-i kara-kara tauna humalili' dunia' hante kanoo-noaa' -na. Bago pompobotuhi toe mpai', natonu hi hadua tauna to napelihi ami' -mi. Tauna toei, napotuwu' nculii' ngkai kamatea, bona monoto hi hawe'ea tauna Kahi'a-na mpu'u-mi to napelihi jadi' Topobotuhi hi hawe'ea manusia'."

³¹inasmuch as he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

³²Kara'epe-na lolita Paulus toe, hantongo' -ra mpotawai-i, apa' uma rapangalai' karia tauna to tuwu' nculii' ngkai kamatea. Aga ria moto wo'o-ra hantongo' to mpo'uli': "Doko' tena-pidi-kai mpo'epe lolita-nu tetu."

³²Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, We will hear thee concerning this yet again.

³³Oti toe, malai-imi Paulus ngkai porumpua-ra.

³³Thus Paul went out from among them.

³⁴Aga ria-ramo to mpotuku' -i pai' mepangala' -ramo hi Yesus. Hadua to mepangala' hi Yesus toe, hanga' -na Dionisius, pangkeni porumpua to hi Bulu' Areopagus. Ria wo'o hadua tobine to rahanga' Damaris, pai' ba hangkuja wo'o-pi to ntani' -na.

³⁴But certain men clave unto him, and believed: among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
