1Nadat hulle deur Amfipolis en Apollonia gereis het, het hulle in Tessalonika aangekom, waar daar 'n sinagoge van die Jode was.Διοδεύσαντες δὲ τὴν Ἀμφίπολιν καὶ ⸀τὴν Ἀπολλωνίαν ἦλθον εἰς Θεσσαλονίκην, ὅπου ⸀ἦν συναγωγὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων.When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2En volgens Paulus se gewoonte het hy na hulle ingegaan, en vir drie sabbatte lank het hy met hulle uit die Skrifte geredeneer,κατὰ δὲ τὸ εἰωθὸς τῷ Παύλῳ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐπὶ σάββατα τρία διελέξατο αὐτοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν γραφῶν,As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3terwyl hy dit uitgelê en aangetoon het dat die Christus moes ly en uit die dode opstaan, en dat Hy die Christus is, die Jesus wat ek aan julle verkondig.διανοίγων καὶ παρατιθέμενος ὅτι τὸν χριστὸν ἔδει παθεῖν καὶ ἀναστῆναι ἐκ νεκρῶν, καὶ ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ⸂ὁ χριστός, ὁ⸃ Ἰησοῦς ὃν ἐγὼ καταγγέλλω ὑμῖν.explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,” he declared. 4En sommige van hulle is oortuig en het hulle by Paulus en Silas aangesluit, asook 'n groot menigte van die godvresende Grieke en nie min van die voorname vroue nie.καί τινες ἐξ αὐτῶν ἐπείσθησαν καὶ προσεκληρώθησαν τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Σιλᾷ, τῶν τε σεβομένων Ἑλλήνων ⸂πλῆθος πολὺ⸃ γυναικῶν τε τῶν πρώτων οὐκ ὀλίγαι.Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few leading women.

5Maar die Jode het jaloers geword en sekere slegte manne uit die leeglêers van die markplein bygeneem, 'n skare bymekaargemaak en die stad in oproer gebring; en hulle het by die huis van Jason opgedaag en probeer om hulle voor die volksvergadering te bring.

Sommige manuskripte lees: Maar die ongehoorsame Jode het sekere slegte manne uit die leeglêers van die markplein bygeneem.

⸂ζηλώσαντες δὲ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ προσλαβόμενοι⸃ τῶν ἀγοραίων ⸂ἄνδρας τινὰς⸃ πονηροὺς καὶ ὀχλοποιήσαντες ἐθορύβουν τὴν πόλιν, ⸂καὶ ἐπιστάντες⸃ τῇ οἰκίᾳ Ἰάσονος ἐζήτουν αὐτοὺς ⸀προαγαγεῖν εἰς τὸν δῆμον·The Jews, however, became jealous. So they brought in some troublemakers from the marketplace, formed a mob, and sent the city into an uproar. They raided Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas, hoping to bring them out to the people. 6Maar toe hulle hulle nie vind nie, het hulle Jason en ’n paar broers na die stadsowerstes gesleep en geroep: “Hierdie mense wat die bewoonde wêreld onderstebo gekeer het, is ook hier,μὴ εὑρόντες δὲ αὐτοὺς ⸀ἔσυρον Ἰάσονα καί τινας ἀδελφοὺς ἐπὶ τοὺς πολιτάρχας, βοῶντες ὅτι Οἱ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἀναστατώσαντες οὗτοι καὶ ἐνθάδε πάρεισιν,But when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have now come here, 7en Jason het hulle ontvang; en hulle handel almal teen die verordeninge van die keiser deur te sê dat daar 'n ander koning is, Jesus.”οὓς ὑποδέδεκται Ἰάσων· καὶ οὗτοι πάντες ἀπέναντι τῶν δογμάτων Καίσαρος πράσσουσι, βασιλέα ⸂ἕτερον λέγοντες⸃ εἶναι Ἰησοῦν.and Jason has welcomed them into his home. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, named Jesus!” 8En hulle het die skare en die stadsbestuurders wat dit gehoor het, verontrus,ἐτάραξαν δὲ τὸν ὄχλον καὶ τοὺς πολιτάρχας ἀκούοντας ταῦτα,On hearing this, the crowd and city officials were greatly disturbed. 9en nadat hulle borg van Jason en die ander ontvang het, het hulle hulle vrygelaat.

Letterlik: die voldoende.

καὶ λαβόντες τὸ ἱκανὸν παρὰ τοῦ Ἰάσονος καὶ τῶν λοιπῶν ἀπέλυσαν αὐτούς.And they collected bond from Jason and the others and then released them.

10En die broers het onmiddellik by nag Paulus en Silas na Berea uitgestuur. Toe hulle daar aankom, het hulle na die sinagoge van die Jode gegaan.Οἱ δὲ ἀδελφοὶ εὐθέως ⸀διὰ νυκτὸς ἐξέπεμψαν τόν τε Παῦλον καὶ τὸν Σιλᾶν εἰς Βέροιαν, οἵτινες παραγενόμενοι εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν ⸂τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἀπῄεσαν⸃·As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue. 11Hierdie mense was edeler as dié in Tessalonika; hulle het die woord met alle bereidwilligheid ontvang en daagliks die Skrifte ondersoek of hierdie dinge so is.οὗτοι δὲ ἦσαν εὐγενέστεροι τῶν ἐν Θεσσαλονίκῃ, οἵτινες ἐδέξαντο τὸν λόγον μετὰ πάσης προθυμίας, ⸀τὸ καθʼ ἡμέραν ἀνακρίνοντες τὰς γραφὰς εἰ ἔχοι ταῦτα οὕτως.Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true. 12Baie van hulle het dus geglo, en van die aansienlike Griekse vroue en van die mans nie min nie.πολλοὶ μὲν οὖν ἐξ αὐτῶν ἐπίστευσαν, καὶ τῶν Ἑλληνίδων γυναικῶν τῶν εὐσχημόνων καὶ ἀνδρῶν οὐκ ὀλίγοι.As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.

13Maar toe die Jode van Tessalonika verneem dat die woord van God ook in Berea deur Paulus verkondig is, het hulle ook daarheen gekom en die skares opgesweep en verontrus.

Sommige manuskripte lees: het hulle ook daarheen gekom en die skares opgesweep.

ὡς δὲ ἔγνωσαν οἱ ἀπὸ τῆς Θεσσαλονίκης Ἰουδαῖοι ὅτι καὶ ἐν τῇ Βεροίᾳ κατηγγέλη ὑπὸ τοῦ Παύλου ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ, ἦλθον κἀκεῖ σαλεύοντες ⸂καὶ ταράσσοντες⸃ τοὺς ὄχλους.But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God in Berea, they went there themselves to incite and agitate the crowds. 14Toe het die broers Paulus dadelik weggestuur om tot by die see te gaan; maar Silas en Timoteus het daar agtergebly.

Sommige manuskripte lees: om te gaan asof na die see.

εὐθέως δὲ τότε τὸν Παῦλον ἐξαπέστειλαν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ πορεύεσθαι ⸀ἕως ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν· ⸂ὑπέμεινάν τε⸃ ὅ τε Σιλᾶς καὶ ὁ Τιμόθεος ἐκεῖ.The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea. 15En dié wat Paulus begelei het, het hom tot by Atene gebring; en nadat hulle ’n opdrag aan Silas en Timoteus ontvang het dat hulle so gou as moontlik na hom moes kom, het hulle weggegaan.οἱ δὲ ⸀καθιστάνοντες τὸν Παῦλον ⸀ἤγαγον ἕως Ἀθηνῶν, καὶ λαβόντες ἐντολὴν πρὸς τὸν Σιλᾶν καὶ ⸀τὸν Τιμόθεον ἵνα ὡς τάχιστα ἔλθωσιν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐξῄεσαν.Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then returned with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.

16Terwyl Paulus in Atene op hulle gewag het, het sy gees in hom verontwaardig geraak toe hy sien dat die stad vol afgode was.Ἐν δὲ ταῖς Ἀθήναις ἐκδεχομένου αὐτοὺς τοῦ Παύλου, παρωξύνετο τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ ⸀θεωροῦντος κατείδωλον οὖσαν τὴν πόλιν.While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply disturbed in his spirit to see that the city was full of idols. 17Hy het dan in die sinagoge met die Jode en die godvresendes geredeneer, en op die markplein elke dag met dié wat toevallig daar was.διελέγετο μὲν οὖν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις καὶ τοῖς σεβομένοις καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ κατὰ πᾶσαν ἡμέραν πρὸς τοὺς παρατυγχάνοντας.So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace with those he met each day. 18En ook sommige van die Epikureïese en Stoïsynse wysgere het met hom gestry, en sommige het gesê: “Wat sou hierdie kletser wil sê?” En ander: “Hy lyk of hy ’n verkondiger van vreemde demone is,” omdat hy die goeie nuus oor Jesus en die opstanding verkondig het.

Letterlik: Saadpikker; ’n spotnaam vir iemand wat flarde kennis bymekaarraap.

τινὲς δὲ καὶ τῶν Ἐπικουρείων ⸀καὶ Στοϊκῶν φιλοσόφων συνέβαλλον αὐτῷ, καί τινες ἔλεγον· Τί ἂν θέλοι ὁ σπερμολόγος οὗτος λέγειν; οἱ δέ· Ξένων δαιμονίων δοκεῖ καταγγελεὺς εἶναι· ὅτι τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ τὴν ἀνάστασιν εὐηγγελίζετο.Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was proclaiming the good news of Jesus and the resurrection. 19En nadat hulle hom aangegryp het, het hulle hom na die Areopagus gebring en gesê: “Kan ons weet wat hierdie nuwe leer is wat deur jou gespreek word?ἐπιλαβόμενοί ⸀τε αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἄρειον Πάγον ἤγαγον, λέγοντες· Δυνάμεθα γνῶναι τίς ἡ καινὴ αὕτη ἡ ὑπὸ σοῦ λαλουμένη διδαχή;So they took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, where they asked him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? 20Want jy bring iets vreemds in ons ore; ons wil dan weet wat hierdie dinge wil wees.”ξενίζοντα γάρ τινα εἰσφέρεις εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς ἡμῶν· βουλόμεθα οὖν γνῶναι ⸂τίνα θέλει⸃ ταῦτα εἶναι.For you are bringing some strange notions to our ears, and we want to know what they mean.” 21Maar al die Atener en die vreemdelinge wat daar woon, het vir niks anders tyd gehad as om iets te sê of iets nuuts te hoor nie.Ἀθηναῖοι δὲ πάντες καὶ οἱ ἐπιδημοῦντες ξένοι εἰς οὐδὲν ἕτερον ηὐκαίρουν ἢ λέγειν τι ⸀ἢ ἀκούειν ⸀τι καινότερον.Now all the Athenians and foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing more than hearing and articulating new ideas.

22Paulus het in die middel van die Areopagus gaan staan en gesê: “Manne van Atene, in alle opsigte sien ek dat julle baie godsdienstig is;

Of: bygelowig.

Σταθεὶς ⸀δὲ Παῦλος ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Ἀρείου Πάγου ἔφη· Ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, κατὰ πάντα ὡς δεισιδαιμονεστέρους ὑμᾶς θεωρῶ·Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious. 23want terwyl ek rondgegaan en julle voorwerpe van verering bekyk het, het ek ook ’n altaar gevind waarop geskryf was: ‘Aan ’n onbekende god.’ Wat julle dan sonder om dit te ken vereer, dit verkondig ek aan julle.

Sommige manuskripte lees: Wie julle dan sonder om Hom te ken vereer, Hom verkondig ek aan julle.

διερχόμενος γὰρ καὶ ἀναθεωρῶν τὰ σεβάσματα ὑμῶν εὗρον καὶ βωμὸν ἐν ᾧ ἐπεγέγραπτο· Ἀγνώστῳ θεῷ. ⸀ὃ οὖν ἀγνοοῦντες εὐσεβεῖτε, ⸀τοῦτο ἐγὼ καταγγέλλω ὑμῖν.For as I walked around and examined your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore what you worship as something unknown, I now proclaim to you. 24Die God wat die wêreld gemaak het en alles wat daarin is, Hy wat Here van hemel en aarde is, woon nie in tempels wat met hande gemaak is nie,ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας τὸν κόσμον καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ, οὗτος οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς ⸂ὑπάρχων κύριος⸃ οὐκ ἐν χειροποιήτοις ναοῖς κατοικεῖThe God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands. 25en Hy word ook nie deur mensehande gedien asof Hy iets nodig het nie, Hy wat self aan almal lewe en asem en alles gee.οὐδὲ ὑπὸ χειρῶν ⸀ἀνθρωπίνων θεραπεύεται προσδεόμενός τινος, αὐτὸς διδοὺς πᾶσι ζωὴν καὶ πνοὴν ⸂καὶ τὰ⸃ πάντα·Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 26En Hy het uit een elke nasie van mense gemaak om op die hele aarde te woon, en Hy het vasgestelde tye en die grense van hulle woonplek bepaal,

Sommige manuskripte lees: uit een bloed.

Letterlik: op die hele aangesig van die aarde.

ἐποίησέν τε ἐξ ⸀ἑνὸς πᾶν ἔθνος ἀνθρώπων κατοικεῖν ἐπὶ ⸂παντὸς προσώπου⸃ τῆς γῆς, ὁρίσας προστεταγμένους καιροὺς καὶ τὰς ὁροθεσίας τῆς κατοικίας αὐτῶν,From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands. 27om God te soek, of hulle Hom miskien sou kon rondtas en vind, hoewel Hy tog nie ver van elkeen van ons is nie.

Sommige manuskripte lees: die Here.

ζητεῖν τὸν ⸀θεὸν εἰ ἄρα γε ψηλαφήσειαν αὐτὸν καὶ εὕροιεν, καί γε οὐ μακρὰν ἀπὸ ἑνὸς ἑκάστου ἡμῶν ὑπάρχοντα.God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28Want in Hom lewe ons en beweeg ons en is ons, soos ook sommige van julle digters gesê het: ‘Want ons is ook Sy geslag.’ἐν αὐτῷ γὰρ ζῶμεν καὶ κινούμεθα καὶ ἐσμέν, ὡς καί τινες τῶν καθʼ ὑμᾶς ποιητῶν εἰρήκασιν· Τοῦ γὰρ καὶ γένος ἐσμέν.‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’ 29Omdat ons dan die geslag van God is, behoort ons nie te meen dat die Goddelike gelyk is aan goud of silwer of klip nie, ’n gravering deur die kuns en vernuf van ’n mens.γένος οὖν ὑπάρχοντες τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ὀφείλομεν νομίζειν χρυσῷ ἢ ἀργύρῳ ἢ λίθῳ, χαράγματι τέχνης καὶ ἐνθυμήσεως ἀνθρώπου, τὸ θεῖον εἶναι ὅμοιον.Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination. 30God, wat die tye van onkunde wel oor die hoof gesien het, gebied nou aan die mense dat almal oral hulle moet bekeer,τοὺς μὲν οὖν χρόνους τῆς ἀγνοίας ὑπεριδὼν ὁ θεὸς τὰ νῦν ⸀παραγγέλλει τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ⸀πάντας πανταχοῦ μετανοεῖν,Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all people everywhere to repent. 31omdat Hy ’n dag vasgestel het waarop Hy die bewoonde wêreld in geregtigheid gaan oordeel deur ’n man wat Hy aangewys het, en aan almal geloof verskaf het deurdat Hy Hom uit die dode opgewek het.

Of: aan almal ’n waarborg gegee het.

⸀καθότι ἔστησεν ἡμέραν ἐν ᾗ μέλλει κρίνειν τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ ἐν ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὥρισεν, πίστιν παρασχὼν πᾶσιν ἀναστήσας αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν.For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”

32Toe hulle van die opstanding van die dode hoor, het sommige gespot, maar ander het gesê: “Ons sal jou hieroor weer aanhoor.”Ἀκούσαντες δὲ ἀνάστασιν νεκρῶν οἱ μὲν ἐχλεύαζον οἱ δὲ εἶπαν Ἀκουσόμεθά σου ⸂περὶ τούτου καὶ πάλιν⸃.When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.” 33So het Paulus uit hulle midde weggegaan.⸀οὕτως ὁ Παῦλος ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν·At that, Paul left the Areopagus. 34Maar sommige manne het hulle by hom aangesluit en geglo, onder wie ook Dionisius die Areopagiet en 'n vrou met die naam Damaris, en ander saam met hulle.τινὲς δὲ ἄνδρες κολληθέντες αὐτῷ ἐπίστευσαν, ἐν οἷς καὶ Διονύσιος ὁ Ἀρεοπαγίτης καὶ γυνὴ ὀνόματι Δάμαρις καὶ ἕτεροι σὺν αὐτοῖς.But some joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others who were with them.
