Bawlos Oo Tesaloniika Jooga

17 Haddaba markay sii dhex mareen Amfibolis iyo Abollooniya ayay waxay yimaadeen Tesaloniika meeshaas oo sunagogga Yuhuuddu ahaa; oo Bawlos sidii caadadiisu ahayd, ayuu iyagii u galay, oo saddex sabtiyoodna ayuu Qorniinka kala hadlay, isagoo caddaynaya oo muujinaya inay waajib ahayd in Masiixu silco oo ka soo sara kaco kuwii dhintay, wuxuuna yidhi, Ciisahan aan idinku wacdiyey waa Masiixa. Oo waxaa la rumaysiiyey oo Bawlos iyo Silas isku daray qaar iyaga ka mid ah oo ahaa Gariig fara badan oo cibaadaysan iyo dumarka madaxda ah oo aan fara yarayn. Laakiin Yuhuuddii oo ka masayrsan ayaa nimanka suuqa ka soo kaxaysatay kuwo shar leh, urur bayna isu keeneen, oo magaaladii bay buuq ka dhigeen; oo markay gurigii Yasoon weerareen ayay waxay dooneen inay iyagii dadka u soo saaraan. Oo markay waayeen, ayay Yasoon iyo kuwo walaalo ah ku hor jiideen taliyayaashii magaalada iyagoo ku qaylinaya oo leh, Kuwii dunida rogay ayaa halkanna yimid, iyagoo uu Yasoon martiggeliyey; kuwaas oo dhanna waxay falaan wax ka gees ah amarrada Kaysar, iyagoo leh, Waxaa jira boqor kale oo Ciise ah. Markaasay dhib geliyeen dadkii badnaa iyo taliyayaashii magaalada oo waxyaalahaas maqlay. Oo kolkay Yasoon iyo kuwii kale dammiin ka qaadeen, ayay sii daayeen.

Bawlos Oo Beroya Jooga

10 Oo markiiba walaalihii waxay habeennimo Bawlos iyo Silas u direen Beroya, kuwaas oo kolkay meeshaas yimaadeen galay sunagogga Yuhuudda. 11 Haddaba kuwaasu waa ka sharaf badnaayeen kuwii Tesaloniika joogay, maxaa yeelay, ereygay aqbaleen iyagoo xiiso weyn u qaba oo maalin kasta baadhaya Qorniinka inay hubsadaan waxyaalahaasi inay sidaas yihiin iyo in kale. 12 Sidaas darteed kuwa badan oo iyaga ka mid ah baa rumaystay iyo dumar Gariig ah oo sharaf leh iyo niman aan fara yarayn. 13 Laakiin kolkii Yuhuuddii Tesaloniika joogtay ogaatay in Bawlos ereyga Ilaah Beroya ku wacdiyey, ayay meeshaasna yimaadeen oo qas iyo dhib geliyeen dadkii badnaa. 14 Markaasaa walaalihii kolkiiba Bawlos u direen inuu tago ilaa badda; Silas iyo Timoteyosna halkaasay weli joogeen. 15 Laakiin kuwii Bawlos ambabbixiyey waxay isagii keeneen ilaa Ateenay; markaasay ka tageen iyagoo Silas iyo Timoteyos amar u qaadaya inay degdeg u yimaadaan.

Bawlos Oo Ateenay Jooga

16 Haddaba Bawlos intuu Ateenay ku sugayay iyagii, ruuxiisu waa kacay markuu arkay magaalada oo sanamyo ka buuxaan. 17 Saas daraaddeed ayuu Yuhuuddii iyo nimankii cibaadaysnaa kula xaajooday sunagogga, suuqa dhexdiisana ayuu maalin walba kula xaajooday kuwii kula kulmayba. 18 Waxaana la kulmay isagii kuwo ka mid ah faylosuufiinta Ebikuriyiin iyo Istoo'ikiin ah. Qaar baa waxay yidhaahdeen, Ninkan dawdarka ihi muxuu odhan doonaa? Qaar kalena waxay yidhaahdeen, Wuxuu u eg yahay nin ilaahyo qalaad wax ka sheega; maxaa yeelay, wuxuu dadkii ku wacdiyey Ciise iyo sarakicidda. 19 Markaasay isagii qabteen, oo waxay u kaxeeyeen Are'obagos iyagoo ku leh, Ma ogaan karnaa waxay tahay waxbariddan cusub oo aad ku hadlaysid? 20 Waayo, waxaad dhegahayaga maqashiisaa waxyaalo qalaad. Sidaa darteed waxaannu doonaynaa inaannu ogaanno waxyaalahanu waxay yihiin. 21 (Haddaba reer Ateenay oo dhammi iyo dadkii qalaad oo halkaas degganaa, wakhtigooda wax kale kuma ay dhaafin inay sheegaan ama maqlaan wax cusub mooyaane.)

Wacdigii Bawlos Markuu Are'obagos Dhex Taagnaa

22 Markaasaa Bawlos oo Are'obagos dhex taagan wuxuu yidhi, Nimankiinan reer Ateenay ahow, wax kasta waxaan idinku garanayaa inaad tihiin kuwo ilaahyada ka cabsada. 23 Waayo, markaan soo socday oo aan arkay waxyaalaha aad caabuddaan waxaan soo arkay oo kale meel allabari oo lagu qoray, Waxaa leh ilaah aan la oqoon. Haddaba waxaad oqoonla'aanta ku caabuddaan ayaan wax idiinka sheegayaa. 24 Ilaaha sameeyey dunida iyo waxyaalaha ku jira oo dhanba, oo ah Rabbiga samada iyo dhulka, ma deggana macbudyo gacmo lagu sameeyey, 25 gacmo dadna looguma adeego sidii isagoo wax u baahan, maxaa yeelay, dhammaan isagaa siiya nolosha iyo neefta iyo wax walbaba; 26 oo quruun kasta oo bini-aadmi ah ayuu isaga mid dhigay inay dunida dusheeda oo dhan degganaadaan isagoo gooyay xilliyaduu hore u diyaarshay iyo xadadka degmooyinkooda; 27 inay Ilaah doondoonaan, in hadday suurtowdo ay haabhaabtaan oo ay helaan isaga, in kastoo uusan ka fogayn midkeen kasta; 28 maxaa yeelay, isagaynu ku nool nahay, kuna soconnaa, kuna jirnaa; sidaasoo kuwo ka mid ah gabayayaashiinnu ay yidhaahdeen, Weliba innaguna waxaynu nahay farcankiisa. 29 Haddaba innagoo ah Ilaah farcankiis waa inaynaan ka fikirin in Ilaahnimadu ay la mid tahay dahab ama lacag ama dhagax oo lagu xardhay sancada iyo farsamada dadka. 30 Haddaba wakhtiyadii oqoonla'aanta Ilaah baa dhaafay, laakiin hadda wuxuu dadka ku amrayaa in dhammaantood meel kastaba ha joogeene ay soo toobadkeenaan; 31 maxaa yeelay, wuxuu dhigay maalin uu dunida si xaq ah ugu xukumi doono ninkuu doortay, taasoo uu dhammaan ugu caddeeyey sarakicidda uu isagii ka soo sara kiciyey kuwii dhintay.

32 Haddaba kolkay maqleen wax ku saabsan ka soo sarakicidda kuwii dhintay, qaar waa ku qosleen, laakiin qaar kale waxay yidhaahdeen, Mar kale ayaannu waxan kaa maqli doonnaa. 33 Haddaba Bawlos waa ka dhex tegey iyagii. 34 Laakiin niman baa raacay isagii oo rumaystay; kuwaasoo ay ka mid ahaayeen Diyonusiyos ki Are'obagos, iyo haweenay la odhan jiray Damaris, iyo kuwo kale oo la socdayba.

In Thessalonica

17 When Paul and his companions had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica,(A) where there was a Jewish synagogue. As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue,(B) and on three Sabbath(C) days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,(D) explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer(E) and rise from the dead.(F) “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah,”(G) he said. Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas,(H) as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.

But other Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city.(I) They rushed to Jason’s(J) house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.[a] But when they did not find them, they dragged(K) Jason and some other believers(L) before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world(M) have now come here,(N) and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.”(O) When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. Then they made Jason(P) and the others post bond and let them go.

In Berea

10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas(Q) away to Berea.(R) On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.(S) 11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica,(T) for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures(U) every day to see if what Paul said was true.(V) 12 As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.(W)

13 But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea,(X) some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. 14 The believers(Y) immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas(Z) and Timothy(AA) stayed at Berea. 15 Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens(AB) and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.(AC)

In Athens

16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. 17 So he reasoned in the synagogue(AD) with both Jews and God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there. 18 A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news(AE) about Jesus and the resurrection.(AF) 19 Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus,(AG) where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching(AH) is that you are presenting? 20 You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.” 21 (All the Athenians(AI) and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.)

22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus(AJ) and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious.(AK) 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship(AL)—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.

24 “The God who made the world and everything in it(AM) is the Lord of heaven and earth(AN) and does not live in temples built by human hands.(AO) 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.(AP) 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.(AQ) 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.(AR) 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[b](AS) As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’[c]

29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill.(AT) 30 In the past God overlooked(AU) such ignorance,(AV) but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.(AW) 31 For he has set a day when he will judge(AX) the world with justice(AY) by the man he has appointed.(AZ) He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”(BA)

32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead,(BB) some of them sneered, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.” 33 At that, Paul left the Council. 34 Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed. Among them was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus,(BC) also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others.
