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

¹And having journeyed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the 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 according to Paul's custom he went in among them, and on three sabbaths 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 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.

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 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.

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 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;

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 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,

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

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

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

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

⁹And having taken security of 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹²Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and 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 from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was announced in Berea also by Paul, they came there also, stirring up the crowds.

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 away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there.

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, having received a commandment to Silas and Timotheus, that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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].

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

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 wish therefore to know what these things may 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.)

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

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

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, 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.

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 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,

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

²⁵nor is served by men's hands as needing something, himself giving 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 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,

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 may seek God; if indeed they might feel after him and find him, although 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 exist; as also some of the poets amongst you 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 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.

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.

³⁰God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall 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'."

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.

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."

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

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

³³Thus Paul went out of their midst.

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