1 Paul an Silas gone ta dem city dey call Amphipolis an Apollonia, an dey trabel on til dey git ta Thessalonica, weh dey been a Jew meetin house. 2 Wensoneba Paul beena come ta a Jew meetin house, e beena gone een dey. So een Thessalonica, e gone eenta dat meetin house. An jurin shree Woshup Day e taak bout wa God Book tell we. 3 Paul splain wa God Book say an show dat de Messiah haffa suffa an dead an den rise op fom mongst de dead people an lib gin. E say, “Dis Jedus yah dat A da tell oona bout, e de Messiah.” 4 Some dem Jew cide e right, an dey ton ta Jedus an jine op wid Paul an Silas. An a heapa Greek people wa woshup God bleebe an jine um, an plenty de portant ooman dem jine um too.
5 Bot de Jew people been jealous wen all dem people jine op wid Paul an Silas. So dey geda togeda a crowd ob bad screet people fa mek nise an trouble. Dem screet people ron roun de city an mek nise an bumfumble de oda people. Dey staat fa smash op Jason house, da look fa Paul an Silas fa mek um come out fo de people een de screet. 6 Bot dey ain find um dey, so dey drag out Jason an some oda Christian bredren, an dey tek um ta de city leada dem. Dem Jew an dem screet people beena holla say, “Dem man da mek trouble ebryweh. Now dey done come ta we city. 7 An Jason beena keep um een e house. Dem man ain da keep de law dat de Roman rula Caesar gii we, cause dey all da say we hab noda king, de one dey call Jedus.” 8 Wen de crowd an de city leada dem yeh wa dem Jew an de screet people beena say, dey been big trouble an nise een de city. 9 De city leada dem mek Jason an de oda Christian dem pay bail money. Den dey leh um gone home.
Paul an Silas Go ta Berea
10 Wen night come, de Christian bredren sen Paul an Silas ta Berea. An wen dey git dey, dey gone ta de Jew meetin house. 11 De people een Berea been mo heppy fa listen ta wa Paul tell um den de people een Thessalonica. Dey been glad fa yeh Paul message. An ebryday dey read God Book fa see ef Paul da tell um de trute. 12 So plenty Jew people bleebe pon Jedus. An plenty de Greek portant ooman dem an Greek man dem bleebe, too. 13 Bot de Jew dem een Thessalonica yeh say dat Paul da tell de Berea people God wod. So dem Thessalonica Jew gone ta Berea too, an pit wod een de crowd yea fa stir um op. 14 So right way de Christian bredren sen Paul way ta de seasho. Bot Silas an Timothy beena stay een Berea. 15 De man dem dat gone long wid Paul, dey trabel wid um til dey git ta Athens. Den Paul tell um fa go tell Timothy an Silas fa come meet um soon as dey kin. So de man dem gone back ta Berea.
Paul een Athens
16 Wiles Paul beena wait fa Timothy an Silas een Athens, e see dat de people dey hab a whole heapa idol. Cause ob dat, Paul opsot fa true. 17 So e gone ta de Jew meetin house an taak wid de Jew people an dem wa ain Jew dat woshup God dey, an e splain bout God wod. An ebry day e gone ta de maakut too, fa taak wid de people dat beena come dey. 18 Some teacha dem ob dem Epicurean an Stoic group, dey come an spute wid Paul too. Some ob um say, “Wa dis man yah da try fa say? E jes da taak bout sompin e ain know nottin bout.”
An oda dem say, “E da taak bout dem god dat come fom someweh else.” Dem people say dat cause Paul tell um bout Jedus an bout how people dat done dead gwine git op fom mongst de dead an lib gin. 19 So den, dem people grab hole ta Paul an cyaa um ta de council wa meet een Areopagus hill. Dey tell Paul say, “We wahn fa know bout dis nyew ting ya da laan we. 20 Some ob dem ting wa ya da say, we ain neba been yeh. We wahn fa know wa dey mean.” 21 (Cause all de people dat bon een Athens, an dem wa come dey, dey like fa come ebry day an yeh bout any nyew ting, an taak bout um.)
22 Paul stanop fo de council dat beena meet pon Areopagus hill. E tell de people say, “Oona people ob Athens! A know oona da woshup a heapa god dem. 23 Cause wiles A beena waak roun oona town, A beena see all de place dem weh oona da woshup dem god. A eben see one place dey weh oona been write pon de stone alta say, ‘Fa de god dat we ain know.’ Dat God dat oona da woshup op, dat one oona ain know, dat de God A come fa tell oona bout now. 24 God, wa mek de wol an ebryting een de wol, e de Lawd ob heaben an eart. An e ain lib een no house dat we people een dis wol build fa woshup um op. 25 God ain need nottin dat we kin gim wid we han dem. Cause e de one wa da gii all people life an bret an ebryting. 26 God mek one man, an fom dat man e mek ebry nation, all de people fa lib all oba de wol. Fo God mek um, e been pick out de zact time fa dem fa stay een de wol, an de place weh dey gwine lib. 27 God do dis fa mek people look fa um, da hope dat dey gwine reach out ta um an find um. Stillyet, God dey dey close ta we all. 28 Jes like somebody done say,
‘God de one dat mek we lib.
E da mek we able fa moob an waak roun.
E da mek we able fa do ebryting we da do!’
Like eben some ob oona own poet done say,
‘We all God chullun.’
29 So den, cause we God chullun, we ain oughta tink dat we people kin tek gole or silba or stone an mek sompin like God. No! God ain nottin like wa we kin mek, eben ef we know how fa mek um too good. 30 Fo dis time, God ain blame people fa wen dey ain know how e wahn um fa find um. Bot now God da tell all people ebryweh. E da chaage um say dey mus ton fom dey sinful way an dohn do um no mo. 31 Cause God done pick de day wen e gwine jedge all people. An e gwine jedge um all scraight an right. An God done pick de man dat gwine be de jedge ob all de people. God mek we all able fa know fa sho bout dis, wen e mek dat man e done pick, git op fom mongst de dead people an lib gin. Dat show we all fa true.”
32 De people yeh Paul da taak bout somebody dat done dead an git op fom mongst de dead people an lib gin. Wen dey yeh Paul say dat, some dem mek fun ob Paul. Bot oda dem tell Paul say, “We wahn fa yeh ya taak mo some oda time bout dis.” 33 So den, Paul come outta de council meetin. 34 Some people jine op wid Paul an bleebe pon Jedus. One dem been Dionysius. E been a memba ob de council dat meet pon Areopagus hill. An dey been a ooman name Damaris, an some oda people too.
