Matendo 17:9-32

⁹Baapangite Yasoni na aine boti bapie mbwatyo, bu'kapo ngabaaleka bayende kasabe.

¹⁰Kilo balu' alongo aumini baaindikiye Pauli na Sila bayende Belea. Pabaaikite kwo bai, baayi'i munyumba ya kunnu'ba Nnu'ngu' ya Ayahudi.

¹¹Bandu ba kwo baai kinannyu'wa muno kuliko balu' ba Tesalonike. Baatigapokya galu' mayi'gi'yo kwa kilu'lu' muno, ngabapekeseni Maandiko Mapeleteu kila lisu'ba li'nga lola kati galu' gaalongei Pauli na Sila gaai ga kakape.

¹²Baingi babe baatiu'bi'lya na alwawa babaisimika ba Kigiliki na analu'me kai'.

¹³Lakini Ayahudi ba Tesalonike pabakwipwi panga Pauli aai kaala liyi'gi'yo lya Nnu'ngu' akwo Belea, baayi'i kwo no tumbwa panga puyo no sopa ipi'nga ya bandu.

¹⁴Balu' alongo aumini baamwindikiye Pauli kiyu'ngu'ya ayende kumbwani, lakini Sila na Timoteo baaigali Belea.

¹⁵Balu' alongo babaamwindikiye Pauli baayi'i pamope nakwe mpaka Atene. Pabaabakiyilwe na Pauli panga Sila na Timoteo banki'ngame kiyu'ngu'ya, ngababuya.

¹⁶Pauli paabile kaali'nda Sila na Timoteo akwo Atene, mwoyo wake watwi'li nyongo muno paakibweni kilambo so kitwi'li inyago ya kinnu'ngu'.

¹⁷Aataukine na Ayahudi na bandu bi'ngi' babakilikitage nabo munyumba ya kunnu'ba Nnu'ngu'. Kila lisu'ba aai kalongela na bandu, pamope na boti balu' babaaisile kusoko.

¹⁸Balimu ba ipi'nga ya wa Epikuro na wa Sitoiki, baatitaukyana nakwe. Bi'ngi' baatibaya, “Apala longela ki'li' ayu' pwetela?” Kwa mwanjaa Pauli aai kaala makowe ga Yesu na uyu'ki, bi'ngi' baabaite, “Ibonekana kati aala makowe ga kinnu'ngu' ageni.”

¹⁹Kwa nyo bampu'twi Pauli ngabampeleka kubalasa lya Aleopago kababaya, “Tupala tutange likowe li' lyayambi' lyaulilongelyage.

²⁰Ili'be yi'ngi' yatuyu'wine kwa makutu gitu tunaiyu'wali. Twapendi tanga makowe ga galombolya ki'li'.”

²¹Bandu ba Atene na atami bi'ngi' ba kwo baai ntu'pu' sabapangage ila yaulyana no pi'kania makowe gayambi' gagapitike.

²²Bai, Pauli aayi'mi nnu'ngi' ya kitamo sa Aleopago, ngabaya, “Mwabandu ba Atene! Nibona panga mwenga nga mwabandu ba dini muno.

²³Kwa mwanjaa panaabile kanipi'ta akwo na kwo naibweni inyago yinu. Pakibi'ki'lyo simo sakiandikilwe, ‘Kwa Nnu'ngu' ywangatanganikwa.’ Bai, aywo ywamunkilikitya wangantanga, nga ywanimwalya mwenga.

²⁴Nnu'ngu' ywaumbike dunia na yoti yaibile mo, nga Bwana wa kunani na dunia, ywembe atamali mumayumba gagasengilwe na bandu.

²⁵Wala ayangatiyilwali na moko ga bandu panga kite apala sosoti si'lu', kwa mwanjaa ywembe mwene nga ywaapeya bandu ukoti, pu'mwa na kila kili'be.

²⁶Kwo pi'tya mundu yumo Nnu'ngu' aaumbite makabila goti na kwapanga batame mudunia yoti. Aatiamwa pakubawi na kwaku' kwo tama makabila go.

²⁷Aapangite nyo li'nga makabila go gakombwe kunkoleya ata kwo papakia li'nga kumwikya. Lakini ata nyo, Nnu'ngu' abileli kuutalu na kila mundu.

²⁸Kati mwaabaite mundu yumo, ‘Nkati yake ywembe twenga twendatama, twendaegela na tubile,’ kati mwabalongei mumayandiko ginu gi'ngi', ‘Twenga nga twabana bake.’

²⁹“Manaitei twenga twabana ba Nnu'ngu', inogelelyali kunng'anikia Nnu'ngu' panga kati zahabu, kyu'ma au ata liwe lyalibasilwe no lembelwa na mundu.

³⁰Nnu'ngu' aapangite kati alolali nsimu gu'lu' bandu pabaabile alalo. Lakini nambi'yambi' aamulisa bandu boti na kila pandu banng'alambuki Nnu'ngu' kwa kwileka sambi.

³¹Kwa mwanjaa ayomwile libi'ka lisu'ba lyaalu'a kwasenwa bandu kwa aki kwa ndi'la ya mundu yumo ywansawile. Nnu'ngu' aalayike boti likowe li' kwa kunnyu'ya mundu ywo bu'ka kuuwi'li!”

³²Pabannyu'wine Pauli kalongelya likowe lyo yu'ka kwa awi'li, bi'ngi' babe baatikunsalawa lakini bi'ngi' baatibaya, “Tupala tumpi'kaniye kai' likowe li'!”
