¹Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

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

²Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days 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.

³explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”

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.

⁴Some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.

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 unpersuaded Jews took along TR reads “And the Jews who were unpersuaded, becoming envious and taking along” instead of “But the unpersuaded Jews took along” some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they 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.

⁶When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have 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. These all act 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."

⁸The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.

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

⁹When they had taken security from 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.

¹⁰The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

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

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 to see whether 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.

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

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

¹³But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.

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

¹⁴Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

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

¹⁵But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, 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.

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

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.

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

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.

¹⁸Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also TR omits “also” were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

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."

¹⁹They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?

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

²⁰For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things 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 living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

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

²²Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.

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 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 you worship in ignorance, this 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 made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t 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.

²⁵neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives 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.

²⁶He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,

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 should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though 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.

²⁸‘For in him we live, and move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets 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 then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

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.

³⁰The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should 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 appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from 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.

³²Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again 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 from among them.

³³Porme o Pavlo gelotar mashkar lende.

³⁴But certain men joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named 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.
