Acts 17

保罗和西拉经过暗妃坡里、亚波罗尼亚，来到帖撒罗尼迦，在那里有犹太人的会堂。

bǎo luó hé xī lā jīng guò àn fēi pō lǐ 、 yà bō luó ní yà ， lái dào tiē sā luó ní jiā ， zài nà lǐ yǒu yóu tài rén de huì táng 。

Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

保罗照他素常的规矩进去，一连三个安息日，本着圣经与他们辩论，

bǎo luó zhào tā sù cháng de guī jǔ jìn qù ， yì lián sān gè ān xī rì ， běn zhe shèng jīng yǔ tā men biàn lùn ，

Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

讲解陈明基督必须受害，从死里复活；又说：「我所传与你们的这位耶稣就是基督。」

jiǎng jiě chén míng jī dū bì xū shòu hài ， cóng sǐ lǐ fù huó ； yòu shuō ：「 wǒ suǒ chuán yǔ nǐ men de zhè wèi yē sū jiù shì jī dū 。」

explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”

他们中间有些人听了劝，就附从保罗和西拉，并有许多虔敬的希腊人，尊贵的妇女也不少。

tā men zhōng jiān yǒu xiē rén tīng le quàn ， jiù fù cóng bǎo luó hé xī lā ， bìng yǒu xǔ duō qián jìng de xī là rén ， zūn guì de fù nǚ yě bù shǎo 。

Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.

但那不信的犹太人心里嫉妒，招聚了些市井匪类，搭伙成群，耸动合城的人闯进耶孙的家，要将保罗、西拉带到百姓那里。

dàn nà bú xìn de yóu tài rén xīn lǐ jí dù ， zhāo jù le xiē shì jǐng fěi lèi ， dā huǒ chéng qún ， sǒng dòng hé chéng de rén chuǎng jìn yē sūn de jiā ， yào jiāng bǎo luó 、 xī lā dài dào bǎi xìng nà lǐ 。

But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.

找不着他们，就把耶孙和几个弟兄拉到地方官那里，喊叫说：「那搅乱天下的也到这里来了，

zhǎo bù zhe tā men ， jiù bǎ yē sūn hé jǐ gè dì xiong lā dào dì fāng guān nà lǐ ， hǎn jiào shuō ：「 nà jiǎo luàn tiān xià de yě dào zhè lǐ lái le ，

When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

耶孙收留他们。这些人都违背凯撒的命令，说另有一个王耶稣。」

yē sūn shōu liú tā men 。 zhè xiē rén dōu wéi bèi kǎi sā de mìng lìng ， shuō lìng yǒu yí gè wáng yē sū 。」

whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”

众人和地方官听见这话，就惊慌了；

zhòng rén hé dì fāng guān tīng jiàn zhè huà ， jiù jīng huāng le ；

The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.

于是取了耶孙和其余之人的保状，就释放了他们。

yú shì qǔ le yē sūn hé qí yú zhī rén de bǎo zhuàng ， jiù shì fàng le tā men 。

When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

弟兄们随即在夜间打发保罗和西拉往庇哩亚去。二人到了，就进入犹太人的会堂。

dì xiong men suí jí zài yè jiān dǎ fā bǎo luó hé xī lā wǎng bì lī yà qù 。 èr rén dào le ， jiù jìn rù yóu tài rén de huì táng 。

The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

这地方的人贤于帖撒罗尼迦的人，甘心领受这道，天天考查圣经，要晓得这道是与不是。

zhè dì fāng de rén xián yú tiē sā luó ní jiā de rén ， gān xīn lǐng shòu zhè dào ， tiān tiān kǎo chá shèng jīng ， yào xiǎo de zhè dào shì yǔ bú shì 。

Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

所以他们中间多有相信的，又有希腊尊贵的妇女，男子也不少。

suǒ yǐ tā men zhōng jiān duō yǒu xiāng xìn de ， yòu yǒu xī là zūn guì de fù nǚ ， nán zǐ yě bù shǎo 。

Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.

但帖撒罗尼迦的犹太人知道保罗又在庇哩亚传 神的道，也就往那里去，耸动搅扰众人。

dàn tiē sā luó ní jiā de yóu tài rén zhī dào bǎo luó yòu zài bì lī yà chuán shén de dào ， yě jiù wǎng nà lǐ qù ， sǒng dòng jiǎo rǎo zhòng rén 。

But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.

当时弟兄们便打发保罗往海边去，西拉和提摩太仍住在庇哩亚。

dāng shí dì xiōng men biàn dǎ fā bǎo luó wǎng hǎi biān qù ， xī lā hé tí mó tài réng zhù zài bì lī yà 。

Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

送保罗的人带他到了雅典，既领了保罗的命，叫西拉和提摩太速速到他这里来，就回去了。

sòng bǎo luó de rén dài tā dào le yǎ diǎn ， jì lǐng le bǎo luó de mìng ， jiào xī lā hé tí mó tài sù sù dào tā zhè lǐ lái ， jiù huí qù le 。

But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.

保罗在雅典等候他们的时候，看见满城都是偶像，就心里着急；

bǎo luó zài yǎ diǎn děng hòu tā men de shí hòu ， kàn jiàn mǎn chéng dōu shì ǒu xiàng ， jiù xīn lǐ zháo jí ；

Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

于是在会堂里与犹太人和虔敬的人，并每日在市上所遇见的人，辩论。

yú shì zài huì táng lǐ yǔ yóu tài rén hé qián jìng de rén ， bìng měi rì zài shì shàng suǒ yù jiàn de rén ， biàn lùn 。

So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.

还有伊壁鸠鲁和斯多亚两门的学士，与他争论。有的说：「这胡言乱语的要说什么？」有的说：「他似乎是传说外邦鬼神的。」这话是因保罗传讲耶稣与复活的道。

hái yǒu yī bì jiū lǔ hé sī duō yà liǎng mén de xué shì ， yǔ tā zhēng lùn 。 yǒu de shuō ：「 zhè hú yán luàn yǔ de yào shuō shén me ？」 yǒu de shuō ：「 tā sì hū shì chuán shuō wài bāng guǐ shén de 。」 zhè huà shì yīn bǎo luó chuán jiǎng yē sū yǔ fù huó de dào 。

Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

他们就把他带到亚略·巴古，说：「你所讲的这新道，我们也可以知道吗？

tā men jiù bǎ tā dài dào yà lüè · bā gǔ ， shuō ：「 nǐ suǒ jiǎng de zhè xīn dào ， wǒ men yě kě yǐ zhī dào ma ？

They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?

因为你有些奇怪的事传到我们耳中，我们愿意知道这些事是什么意思。」（

yīn wèi nǐ yǒu xiē qí guài de shì chuán dào wǒ men ěr zhōng ， wǒ men yuàn yì zhī dào zhè xiē shì shì shén me yì sī 。」（

For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”

雅典人和住在那里的客人都不顾别的事，只将新闻说说听听。）

yǎ diǎn rén hé zhù zài nà lǐ de kè rén dōu bú gù bié de shì ， zhī jiāng xīn wén shuō shuō tīng tīng 。）

Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

保罗站在亚略·巴古当中，说：「众位雅典人哪，我看你们凡事很敬畏鬼神。

bǎo luó zhàn zài yà lüè · bā gǔ dāng zhōng ， shuō ：「 zhòng wèi yǎ diǎn rén nǎ ， wǒ kàn nǐ men fán shì hěn jìng wèi guǐ shén 。

Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.

我游行的时候，观看你们所敬拜的，遇见一座坛，上面写着『未识之神』。你们所不认识而敬拜的，我现在告诉你们。

wǒ yóu xíng de shí hòu ， guān kàn nǐ men suǒ jìng bài de ， yù jiàn yí zuò tán ， shàng miàn xiě zhe 『 wèi shí zhī shén 』。 nǐ men suǒ bú rèn shi ér jìng bài de ， wǒ xiàn zài gào sù nǐ men 。

For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.

创造宇宙和其中万物的 神，既是天地的主，就不住人手所造的殿，

chuàng zào yǔ zhòu hé qí zhōng wàn wù de shén ， jì shì tiān dì de zhǔ ， jiù bú zhù rén shǒu suǒ zào de diàn ，

The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

也不用人手服事，好像缺少什么；自己倒将生命、气息、万物，赐给万人。

yě bú yòng rén shǒu fú shì ， hǎo xiàng quē shǎo shén me ； zì jǐ dǎo jiāng shēng mìng 、 qì xī 、 wàn wù ， cì gěi wàn rén 。

He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

他从一本 造出万族的人，住在全地上，并且预先定准他们的年限和所住的疆界，

tā cóng yì běn zào chū wàn zú de rén ， zhù zài quán dì shàng ， bìng qiě yù xiān dìng zhǔn tā men de nián xiàn hé suǒ zhù de jiāng jiè ，

He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,

要叫他们寻求 神，或者可以揣摩而得，其实他离我们各人不远；

yào jiào tā men xún qiú shén ， huò zhě kě yǐ chuāi mó ér dé ， qí shí tā lí wǒ men gè rén bù yuǎn ；

that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

我们生活、动作、存留，都在乎他。就如你们作诗的，有人说：『我们也是他所生的。』

wǒ men shēng huó 、 dòng zuò 、 cún liú ， dōu zài hū tā 。 jiù rú nǐ men zuò shī de ， yǒu rén shuō ：『 wǒ men yě shì tā suǒ shēng de 。』

‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

我们既是 神所生的，就不当以为 神的神性像人用手艺、心思所雕刻的金、银、石。

wǒ men jì shì shén suǒ shēng de ， jiù bù dāng yǐ wèi shén de shén xìng xiàng rén yòng shǒu yì 、 xīn sī suǒ diāo kè de jīn 、 yín 、 shí 。

Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

世人蒙昧无知的时候， 神并不监察，如今却吩咐各处的人都要悔改。

shì rén méng mèi wú zhī de shí hòu ， shén bìng bù jiān chá ， rú jīn què fēn fù gè chù de rén dōu yào huǐ gǎi 。

The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

因为他已经定了日子，要借着他所设立的人按公义审判天下，并且叫他从死里复活，给万人作可信的凭据。」

yīn wèi tā yǐ jīng dìng le rì zi ， yào jiè zhe tā suǒ shè lì de rén àn gōng yì shěn pàn tiān xià ， bìng qiě jiào tā cóng sǐ lǐ fù huó ， gěi wàn rén zuò kě xìn de píng jù 。」

because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

众人听见从死里复活的话，就有讥诮他的；又有人说：「我们再听你讲这个吧！」

zhòng rén tīng jiàn cóng sǐ lǐ fù huó de huà ， jiù yǒu jī qiào tā de ； yòu yǒu rén shuō ：「 wǒ men zài tīng nǐ jiǎng zhè ge ba ！」

Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

于是保罗从他们当中出去了。

yú shì bǎo luó cóng tā men dāng zhōng chū qù le 。

Thus Paul went out from among them.

但有几个人贴近他，信了主，其中有亚略·巴古的官丢尼修，并一个妇人，名叫大马哩，还有别人一同信从。

dàn yǒu jǐ gè rén tiē jìn tā ， xìn le zhǔ ， qí zhōng yǒu yà lüè · bā gǔ de guān diū ní xiū ， bìng yí gè fù rén ， míng jiào dà mǎ lī ， hái yǒu bié rén yì tóng xìn cóng 。

But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
