Travay 17
Haitian Creole Version
17 ¶ Yo pase lavil Anfipolis ak lavil Apoloni, yo rive lavil Tesalonik kote jwif yo te gen yon sinagòg.
2 Jan l' te konn fè a, Pòl antre nan sinagòg la. Pandan twa jou repo li diskite ak jwif yo sou sak te ekri nan Liv yo.
3 Li t'ap ba yo esplikasyon, li t'ap moutre yo ki jan, dapre sa ki te ekri a, Kris la te gen pou l' soufri, li te gen pou l' te leve soti vivan nan lanmò. Li t'ap di yo: Jezi m'ap fè nou konnen an, se li menm ki Kris la.
4 Te genyen nan jwif yo ki te kwè, yo pran mache ansanm ak Pòl ak Silas. Se konsa yon bann moun peyi Lagrès ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo ansanm ak anpil gran medam te kwè tou.
5 Men, jwif yo t'ap fè jalouzi anpil. Yo pran kèk vakabon yo jwenn nan lari a ak yo, yo sanble yon foul moun, yo mache fè dezòd nan tout lavil la.
6 Yo rive devan kay Jazon, yo antre al chache Pòl ak Silas pou mennen yo devan pèp la. Lè yo pa jwenn yo, yo trennen Jazon ansanm ak kèk frè devan chèf yo ki nan lavil la. Yo pran pale byen fò, yo t'ap di: Mesye sa yo ap mache fè dezòd toupatou. Men, koulye a yo rive jouk isit la.
7 Jazon menm resevwa mesye yo lakay li. Mesye sa yo ap aji kont lalwa Seza: y'ap di gen yon lòt wa yo rele Jezi.
8 Jwif yo te mete foul moun yo ansanm ak chèf yo ankòlè anpil avèk pawòl sa a.
9 Jazon ak lòt frè yo te blije fè yon depo lajan pou chèf yo te ka lage yo.
10 ¶ Lè solèy fin kouche, frè yo fè Pòl ak Silas pati pou lavil Bere. Lè yo rive la, y' al nan sinagòg jwif yo.
11 Jwif Bere yo te gen pi bon santiman pase sa Tesalonik yo: yo te resevwa pawòl la byen vit san traka. Chak jou yo t'ap egzaminen sa ki te ekri nan Liv la pou wè si sa Pòl t'ap di yo a se vre.
12 Anpil ladan yo te kwè. Konsa, anpil gran medam ak anpil gason nan moun peyi Lagrès yo te kwè.
13 Men, lè jwif Tesalonik yo vin konnen Pòl t'ap fè konnen pawòl Bondye a nan Bere tou, yo pati pou Bere. Lè yo rive, yo kòmanse fè dezòd, yo t'ap moute tèt foul moun yo.
14 Lè frè yo wè sa, yo fè Pòl pati ale jouk bò lanmè a. Men, Silas ak Timote te rete Bere.
15 Moun ki t'ap kondi Pòl yo mennen l' jouk lavil Atèn. Apre sa, yo tounen Bere. Pòl menm te voye lòd bay Silas ak Timote pou yo te vin jwenn li touswit.
16 ¶ Antan Pòl t'ap tann Silas ak Timote lavil Atèn, sa te nwi lespri l' anpil lè l' wè ki jan lavil la te plen zidòl.
17 Li t'ap diskite nan sinagòg la avèk jwif yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon yo ki te konvèti nan relijyon jwif yo. Apre sa, chak jou li t'ap diskite tou sou plas piblik la avèk tout moun li te kontre la.
18 Kèk filozòf ki t'ap swiv prensip patizan Epiki yo ak patizan Zenon yo t'ap pale avèk li. Gen ladan yo ki t'ap di: Kisa paladò sa a vle di la a? Gen lòt moun ki t'ap di: Gen lè l'ap pale sou yon lòt kalite bondye. Yo t'ap di sa paske Pòl t'ap pale yo sou Jezi, li t'ap di yo ki jan mò yo gen pou yo leve vivan ankò.
19 Lè sa a, yo pran l', yo mennen l' nan Aewopaj la. Epi yo di li: Nou ta renmen konnen tout bagay nèf sa yo w'ap montre moun yo la a.
20 W'ap di yon bann bagay dwòl nan zòrèy nou. Nou ta renmen konnen sa yo vle di.
21 (Se te abitid tout moun lavil Atèn ak tout moun lòt nasyon ki rete nan lavil la, pou yo pase tout tan yo ap pale osinon ap koute tout kalite pawòl ki fèk parèt.)
22 ¶ Lè sa a, Pòl kanpe nan mitan Aewopaj la, li di: Nou menm moun Atèn, mwen wè nou se moun ki renmen relijyon anpil.
23 Mwen di nou sa, paske, antan m'ap pwonmennen nan lavil nou an, mwen wè tout kote nou fè sèvis. Epi nan gade konsa, mwen jwenn yon lotèl kote yo ekri: Pou Bondye nou pa konnen an. Enben, Bondye n'ap sèvi san nou pa konnen l' lan, se li menm m'ap fè nou konnen la a.
24 Bondye ki fè lemonn antye ak tou sa ki ladan l', se li menm ki Mèt syèl la ak tè a. Li pa rete nan kay moun bati ak men yo.
25 Li pa bezwen pou moun travay ba l' anyen non plis, paske se li menm ki bay moun lavi, ki fè yo respire, ki ba yo tout lòt bagay.
26 Se li menm tou ki kreye tout nasyon ki rete toupatou sou latè. Li fè yo tout soti nan yon sèl moun. Li te fikse davans tan ki pou yo chak, ak limit kote pou yo chak rete.
27 Li fè tou sa pou yo ka chache l', pou yo ta ka rive jwenn li lè yo seye pran kontak avèk li. Men, Bondye pa pi lwen okenn nan nou pase sa.
28 Paske, se nan li nou gen lavi, se nan li nou ka bay kò nou mouvman, se nan li nou gen legzistans. Gen nan poèt nou yo ki te di menm bagay la: Nou menm tou, nou se pitit li.
29 Si nou se pitit li, nou pa dwe mete nan tèt nou Bondye tankou yon moso lò, yon moso lajan osinon yon moso wòch moun travay ak ladrès pou fè yon pòtre ki soti nan tèt yo.
30 Men, Bondye fèmen je l' sou tout tan sa yo moun pase nan liyorans. Koulye a li rele yo tout, kote yo ye, pou yo tounen vin jwenn li.
31 Se konsa tou, li fikse yon jou lè li gen pou l' jije tout moun san patipri: li chwazi yon nonm pou sa. Li bay tout moun prèv la lè l' fè nonm sa a leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
32 ¶ Lè yo tande Pòl di moun mouri ka leve, te gen ladan yo ki pran pase l' nan betiz. Gen lòt menm ki t'ap di li: N'a tande koze sa a yon lòt jou.
33 Se konsa Pòl soti nan mitan yo.
34 Men, atousa, te gen ladan yo ki te dakò pou yo te mache ak Pòl epi ki te kwè. Pami yo te gen Deni, manm Aewopaj la, yon fanm yo te rele Damaris ak kèk lòt ankò.
Atti 17
Nuova Riveduta 2006
Paolo e Sila a Tessalonica
17 (A)Dopo essere passati per Amfipoli e per Apollonia, giunsero a Tessalonica, dove c’era una sinagoga dei Giudei; 2 e Paolo, com’era sua consuetudine, entrò da loro, e per tre sabati tenne loro ragionamenti tratti dalle Scritture, 3 spiegando e dimostrando che il Cristo doveva soffrire e risuscitare dai morti. «E il Cristo», egli diceva, «è quel Gesù che io vi annuncio». 4 Alcuni di loro furono convinti e si unirono a Paolo e Sila, e così una gran folla di Greci pii e non poche donne delle famiglie più importanti. 5 Ma i Giudei[a], mossi da invidia[b], presero con loro alcuni uomini malvagi tra la gente di piazza; e, raccolta quella plebaglia, misero in subbuglio la città; e, assalita la casa di Giasone[c], cercavano Paolo e Sila per condurli davanti al popolo. 6 Ma non avendoli trovati, trascinarono Giasone e alcuni fratelli davanti ai magistrati della città, gridando: «Costoro, che hanno messo sottosopra il mondo, sono venuti anche qui, 7 e Giasone li ha ospitati; ed essi tutti agiscono contro i decreti di Cesare, dicendo che c’è un altro re: Gesù». 8 E misero in agitazione la popolazione e i magistrati della città, che udivano queste cose. 9 Questi, dopo aver ricevuto una cauzione da Giasone e dagli altri, li lasciarono andare.
Paolo e Sila a Berea
10 (B)Ma i fratelli subito, di notte, fecero partire Paolo e Sila per Berea[d]; ed essi, appena giunti, si recarono nella sinagoga dei Giudei. 11 Ora questi erano di sentimenti più nobili di quelli di Tessalonica, perché ricevettero la Parola con ogni premura, esaminando ogni giorno le Scritture per vedere se le cose stavano così. 12 Molti di loro dunque credettero, e così pure un gran numero di nobildonne greche e di uomini. 13 Ma quando i Giudei di Tessalonica vennero a sapere che la Parola di Dio era stata annunciata da Paolo anche a Berea, si recarono là, agitando e mettendo sottosopra[e] la folla. 14 I fratelli allora fecero subito partire Paolo, conducendolo fino al mare; ma Sila e Timoteo rimasero ancora là.
15 Quelli che accompagnavano Paolo lo condussero fino ad Atene e, ricevuto l’ordine di dire a Sila e a Timoteo che quanto prima si recassero da lui, se ne tornarono indietro.
Paolo ad Atene; il discorso nell’Areòpago
16 (C)Mentre Paolo li aspettava ad Atene, lo spirito gli s’inacerbiva dentro nel vedere la città piena di idoli. 17 Frattanto discorreva nella sinagoga con i Giudei e con le persone pie; e sulla piazza, ogni giorno, con quelli che vi si trovavano. 18 E anche[f] alcuni filosofi epicurei e stoici conversavano con lui. Alcuni dicevano: «Che cosa dice questo ciarlatano?» E altri: «Egli sembra essere un predicatore di divinità straniere», perché annunciava[g] Gesù e la risurrezione. 19 Presolo con sé, lo condussero su nell’Areòpago[h], dicendo: «Potremmo sapere quale sia questa nuova dottrina che tu proponi? 20 Poiché tu ci fai sentire cose strane. Noi vorremmo dunque sapere che cosa vogliono dire queste cose».
21 Or tutti gli Ateniesi e i residenti stranieri non passavano il loro tempo in altro modo che a dire o ad ascoltare novità.
22 E Paolo, stando in piedi in mezzo all’Areòpago, disse: «Ateniesi[i], vedo che sotto ogni aspetto siete estremamente religiosi. 23 Poiché, passando e osservando gli oggetti del vostro culto, ho trovato anche un altare sul quale era scritto: “Al dio sconosciuto”. Orbene, ciò che voi adorate[j] senza conoscerlo, io ve lo annuncio. 24 Il Dio che ha fatto il mondo e tutte le cose che sono in esso, essendo Signore del cielo e della terra, non abita in templi costruiti da mani d’uomo; 25 e non è servito dalle mani dell’uomo, come se avesse bisogno di qualcosa; lui, che dà a tutti la vita, il respiro e ogni cosa. 26 Egli ha tratto da uno solo[k] tutte le nazioni degli uomini perché abitino su tutta la faccia della terra, avendo determinato le epoche loro assegnate e i confini della loro abitazione, 27 affinché cerchino Dio[l], se mai giungano a trovarlo, come a tastoni, benché egli non sia lontano da ciascuno di noi. 28 Difatti in lui viviamo, ci muoviamo e siamo, come anche alcuni vostri poeti hanno detto: “Poiché siamo anche sua discendenza[m]”. 29 Essendo dunque discendenza di Dio, non dobbiamo credere che la divinità sia simile a oro, ad argento, o a pietra scolpita dall’arte e dall’immaginazione umana. 30 Dio dunque, passando sopra i tempi dell’ignoranza, ora comanda agli uomini che tutti, in ogni luogo, si ravvedano[n], 31 perché ha fissato un giorno nel quale giudicherà il mondo con giustizia per mezzo dell’uomo che egli ha stabilito, e ne ha dato sicura prova a tutti risuscitandolo dai morti».
32 Quando sentirono parlare di risurrezione dei morti, alcuni se ne beffavano; e altri dicevano: «Su questo ti ascolteremo un’altra volta». 33 Così Paolo uscì di mezzo a loro. 34 Ma alcuni si unirono a lui e credettero; tra i quali anche Dionisio l’areopagita, una donna chiamata Damaris e altri con loro.

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.
