使徒行传 17
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
帖撒羅尼迦的騷動
17 保羅和西拉經過暗非波里、亞波羅尼亞,來到帖撒羅尼迦,在那裡有猶太人的會堂。 2 保羅照他的習慣進去,一連三個安息日,根據聖經與他們辯論, 3 講解證明基督必須受害,從死人中復活,說:“我所傳給你們的這位耶穌,就是基督。” 4 他們中間有人給說服了,就附從了保羅和西拉;還有一大群虔誠的希臘人,和不少顯要的婦女。 5 但猶太人嫉妒起來,招聚了一些市井流氓,糾合成群,騷動全城,衝進了耶孫的家,搜索保羅和西拉,要把他們交給民眾。 6 搜索不到他們,就把耶孫和幾個弟兄,拉到地方長官那裡,喊叫著說:“這些擾亂天下的人,也到這裡來了, 7 耶孫卻收留他們。這些人都違背凱撒的法令,說另外還有一個王耶穌。” 8 群眾和地方長官聽見這話,就驚慌起來, 9 取得耶孫和其餘的人簽保後,才放了他們。
來到比里亞
10 弟兄們當夜立刻送保羅和西拉往比里亞去。二人到了,就進入猶太人的會堂。 11 這裡的人,比帖撒羅尼迦人開明,熱切接受主的道,天天考查聖經,要知道所聽的是否與聖經相符。 12 結果他們中間有很多人信了,也有高貴的希臘婦女,男的也不少。 13 但帖撒羅尼迦的猶太人,知道保羅又在比里亞宣講 神的道,就到那裡去,煽動挑撥群眾。 14 弟兄們立刻把保羅送到海邊去;西拉和提摩太仍然留在比里亞。 15 護送保羅的人帶他到了雅典;保羅吩咐他們叫西拉和提摩太趕快去見他,於是他們就回去了。
在雅典
16 保羅在雅典等候他們的時候,看見滿城都是偶像,心靈十分忿激。 17 於是在會堂裡,同猶太人和虔誠的人辯論;並且天天在市中心和所遇見的人辯論。 18 還有一些伊壁鳩魯派和斯多亞派的哲學家也同他爭論,有的說:“這個拾人牙慧的人要說甚麼呢?”有的說:“他似乎是一個宣傳外地鬼神的人。”這是因為保羅傳揚耶穌和復活的道理。 19 他們拉著保羅,把他帶到亞略.巴古那裡,說:“你所講的這個新道理,我們可以知道嗎? 20 因為你把一切新奇的事,傳到我們耳中,我們願意知道這些事是甚麼意思。” 21 原來所有雅典人和外僑,專好談論和打聽新奇的事,來打發時間。
22 保羅站在亞略.巴古當中,說:“各位雅典人,我看你們在各方面都非常敬畏鬼神。 23 我走路的時候,仔細看你們所敬拜的,發現有一座壇,上面寫著‘獻給不認識的神’。我現在把你們不認識而敬拜的這位神,傳給你們。 24 創造宇宙和其中萬有的 神,既然是天地的主,就不住在人手所造的殿宇, 25 也不受人手的服事,好像他缺少甚麼;他自己反而把生命、氣息和一切,賜給萬人。 26 他從一個本源造出了萬族來,使他們住在整個大地上,並且定了他們的期限和居住的疆界, 27 要他們尋求 神,或者可以摸索而找到他。其實他離我們各人不遠, 28 因著他我們可以生存、活動、存在,就如你們有些詩人說:‘原來我們也是他的子孫。’ 29 我們既然是 神的子孫,就不應該以為他的神性是好像人用手藝、心思所雕刻的金銀石頭一樣。 30 過去那無知的時代, 神不加以追究;現在,他卻吩咐各處的人都要悔改, 31 因為他已經定好了日子,要藉著他所立的人,按公義審判天下,並且使他從死人中復活,給萬人作一個可信的憑據。”
32 眾人一聽到死人復活的事,就譏笑他,但有的說:“我們要再聽聽你講這件事!” 33 這樣,保羅就離開他們。 34 但有幾個人接近他,並且信了主,其中有亞略.巴古的議員丟尼修,一個名叫戴馬里的女子,還有其他在一起的人。

Paulus i Tessaloniki
17 Paulus og Silas tok nå veien gjennom byene Amfipolis og Apollonia og kom til Tessaloniki, der jødene hadde en synagoge[a]. 2 Paulus gikk som vanlig dit, og i tre uker på rad talte han til folket på hviledagene[b]. 3 Ved hjelp av Skriften[c] forklarte han at Messias, den lovede kongen, måtte lide og stå opp fra de døde, og han beviste at Jesus er denne kongen[d]. 4 Mange av dem som lyttet ble overbeviste og holdt seg til Paulus og Silas. Blant dem var en stor gruppe som ikke var jøder, men tilba Israels Gud. Også et antall betydningsfulle kvinner begynte å tro.
5 Men de religiøse lederne ble misunnelige og samlet en flokk pøbler fra gaten og dro i gang et oppløp som skapte uroligheter i byen. De marsjerte fram mot huset til Jason, for å hente Paulus og Silas og dra dem ut til folkemassen.[e] 6 Da de ikke fant de to, slepte de i stedet Jason, og noen andre troende ut, og tok disse med til dommerne i byen og skrek: ”Paulus og Silas har snudd opp ned på hele verden, og nå er de her og steller i stand bråk. 7 Jason har sluppet dem inn i huset sitt. Alle disse er skyldige i forræderi mot keiseren, for de påstår at det er en annen som er konge, en som heter Jesus.”
8 Både dommerne og folket i byen ble bekymret over disse anklagene. 9 Jason og de andre ble ikke sluppet fri før de hadde betalt kausjon.
Paulus i Berøa
10 Samme natten passet de troende på at Paulus og Silas ble sendt videre til byen Berøa. Og så fort de var kommet dit, la de veien til den jødiske synagogen[f]. 11 Folkene i Berøa var mer åpne for nye ideer enn de hadde vært i Tessaloniki. De lyttet mer enn gjerne til budskapet, og studerte hver dag i Skriften[g] for å kontrollere at det Paulus og Silas sa, virkelig stemte. 12 Resultatet ble at mange begynte å tro. Blant dem var flere høytstående kvinner og menn som ikke var jøder.
13 Da jødene i Tessaloniki fikk greie på at Paulus spredde budskapet om Jesus også i Berøa, kom de etter og skapte uro og bråk blant folket også der. 14 Derfor handlet de troende raskt og sendte Paulus ned til kysten, men både Silas og Timoteus ble værende igjen.
15 De som førte Paulus ned til kysten, seilte seinere med ham helt til Aten. Etter det vendte de tilbake til Berøa, og meldte til Silas og Timoteus at Paulus ønsket at de skulle skynde seg å følge etter ham.
Paulus i Aten
16 Mens Paulus ventet på Silas og Timoteus, så han seg omkring i Aten. Han ble dypt rystet over alle avgudsbildene han oppdaget over alt i byen. 17 Som vanlig besøkte han synagogen[h] og talte til jødene, og de grekerne som tilba Israels Gud. Dessuten talte han hver dag på torget til alle som tilfeldigvis var der. 18 Han diskuterte også med noen av filosofene, både epikureere og stoikere.[i] Men da Paulus fortalte dem om Jesus og sa at han hadde stått opp fra de døde, sa noen: ”Hva er dette for slags underlige ideer han har snappet opp? Hva mener han?” Andre sa: ”Han forsøker å prakke på oss en fremmed religion.”
19 De førte ham med seg opp til Areopagos[j] og sa: ”Kom og fortell mer for oss om denne nye religionen. 20 Det er jo ganske merkelige ting du har å fortelle. Si oss hva dette handler om.” 21 En slik utspørring var ikke uvanlig, for både atenerne og de utlendingene som bodde der, brukte all sin tid til å diskutere de siste ideer og trender i tiden.
Talen Paulus holdt på Areopagos
22 Paulus stilte seg altså opp foran[k] Areopagos og sa: ”Atenere, jeg har lagt merke til at dere er sterkt religiøse. 23 Mens jeg har spasert omkring her, har jeg sett mange altere. Ett av dem hadde mottoet: ’Til en ukjent gud’. Og det er denne guden jeg vil fortelle dere om, han som dere har tilbedt uten å vite hvem det er.
24 Den Gud som har skapt verden og alt som finnes i den, han er Herre både over himmelen og jorden. Han bor ikke i noe tempel som er bygget av mennesker. 25 Menneskene kan ikke tilfredsstille behovene hans, etter som han ikke har noen! Det er jo han selv som lar oss leve og puste, og som fyller alle våre behov. 26 Han skapte alle folk og riker fra et eneste menneske og spredde dem ut over hele jordens overflate. Han bestemte hvor lenge rikene skulle eksistere og staket ut grensene som skiller dem fra hverandre.
27 Hans hensikt med alt dette var at menneskene skulle lete etter Gud og kanskje finne veien til ham. Men han er ikke langt borte fra noen av oss. 28 Det er jo i han vi lever og rører oss og eksisterer slik som noen av deres egne diktere sier: ’Vi kommer fra ham.’ 29 Dersom det altså er sant at vi kommer fra ham, da kan jo ikke Gud være en gjenstand, noe som menneskene har laget av sølv eller gull eller har hugget ut i stein. 30 I lang tid har Gud hatt overbærenhet med den uvitenheten menneskene er begrenset av, men nå krever han at alle skal forlate avgudene og vende om til ham. 31 Gud har nemlig satt fast en dag da han skal dømme verden med rettferdighet gjennom en mann som han i forveien har bestemt for denne oppgaven. Det har han bevist for alle mennesker ved å la denne mannen stå opp fra de døde.”
32 Da de hørte at Paulus talte om en person som hadde stått opp fra de døde, begynte noen å le, men andre sa: ”Vi vil høre mer om dette en annen gang.” 33 Da diskusjonen var over, gikk Paulus fra dem. 34 Noen atenere slo seg sammen med ham og begynte å tro. Blant dem var Dionysios, en mann som var medlem av Areopagosrådet, og en kvinne som het Damaris og noen til.

使徒行传 17
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
保罗在帖撒罗尼迦传道
17 保罗和西拉经过暗非坡里和亚波罗尼亚,到了帖撒罗尼迦。那里有犹太人的会堂。 2 保罗照以往的习惯进入会堂,一连三个安息日引用圣经与当地人讨论, 3 解释、证明基督必须受害,然后从死里复活,又说:“我向你们宣讲的这位耶稣就是基督。” 4 不少人被说服,成为保罗和西拉的同道,其中有许多是敬畏上帝的希腊人和有地位的妇女。
5 那些不信主的犹太人却妒火中烧,他们召集了一群市井无赖,在城里引发骚乱,闯进耶孙的家企图把保罗和西拉揪出来示众。 6 他们找不到保罗和西拉,就把耶孙和几个弟兄拉到当地官员面前,高喊:“那些搅乱天下的人到我们这里来了, 7 耶孙接待了他们。他们违抗凯撒的命令,说另有一个王叫耶稣。” 8 百姓和当地官长听后,深感不安。 9 于是,官长命耶孙等人缴纳保释金,然后释放了他们。
庇哩亚人接受福音
10 弟兄姊妹在夜间把保罗和西拉送往庇哩亚。他们二人一到,就进了犹太会堂。 11 当地的人比帖撒罗尼迦人通情达理,非常乐意接受真道,还天天查考圣经,研究这道是否正确。 12 结果有很多人信了,包括不少有名望的希腊妇女和男子。 13 可是,帖撒罗尼迦的犹太人听到保罗在庇哩亚宣扬上帝的道,就赶来怂恿、煽动众人。 14 庇哩亚的弟兄姊妹立刻送保罗到海边,西拉和提摩太仍然留在庇哩亚。 15 护送保罗的人一直把他送到雅典,然后带着保罗的口信回庇哩亚,交代西拉和提摩太尽快赶去雅典与保罗会合。
保罗在雅典传道
16 保罗在雅典等候他们的时候,看见满城都是偶像,心里非常着急。 17 于是,他在会堂跟犹太人和虔诚的外族人辩论,每天在广场上跟遇见的人辩论。 18 还有一些伊壁鸠鲁和斯多亚学派的哲学家和保罗争论,有人嘲笑他说:“这人在胡说八道些什么呀?”还有人说:“他好像在宣扬外国的神明。”他们这样说是因为保罗在传讲耶稣和祂复活的福音。 19 他们带保罗到一个称为亚略·巴古的论坛,问他:“我们可以知道你所教导的这个新道理吗? 20 你的言论确实稀奇,我们很想知道个究竟。”
21 这些雅典人和侨居在那里的人没有别的嗜好,只喜欢谈论和打听一些新奇的事。
22 保罗在亚略·巴古论坛中站起来说:“各位雅典人,我看得出你们在各方面都非常虔诚。 23 我在街上走的时候,观察了你们所敬拜的对象,发现一座祭坛上面写着‘献给未知之神’。这位你们不认识却在敬拜的神明,我现在介绍给你们。
24 “这位创造宇宙万物的上帝是天地的主宰,并不住在人手建造的庙宇里, 25 也不需要人的侍奉,因为祂一无所缺。祂将生命、气息和万物赐给世人。 26 祂从一人造出万族,让他们散居世界各地,又预先定下他们的期限和居住的疆界, 27 以便他们在其间寻求祂,或许他们可以摸索着找到祂。祂原本就离我们各人不远, 28 我们的生活、行动和存在都靠祂,你们的诗人也说过,‘我们是祂的子孙。’ 29 我们既然是上帝的子孙,就不该认为上帝是人凭手艺和想象用金、银、石头所雕刻的样子。
30 “上帝以往不鉴察世人的无知,现在则命令世上所有的人都要悔改。 31 因为祂已经定了日子,要借祂所设立的人按公义审判这个世界。祂叫那人从死里复活,给了全人类可信的凭据。”
32 听见保罗提到死人复活的事,有些人就嘲笑他,还有些人说:“我们改天再听你讲这个。” 33 于是保罗离开了他们。 34 不过,也有人跟随保罗,信了耶稣,其中有亚略·巴古的会员丢尼修和一位名叫戴玛丽的妇人及其他人。
Acts 17
New International Version
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. 2 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue,(B) and on three Sabbath(C) days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,(D) 3 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. 4 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.
5 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] 6 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) 7 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) 8 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. 9 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.

King James Version
17 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
5 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
33 So Paul departed from among them.
34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
