¹⁶ Pawulo akibarindiririye muri Atenayi, agira intuntu mu mutima kubera ibigirwamana vyinshi yabonye muri ico gisagara.

¹⁷ Ivyo vyatumye yama aja mw’isinagogi yaho, agaharira n’Abayuda n’Abagiriki bubaha Imana, kandi imisi yose yama aja mu bibanza abantu bahuriramwo, agahaririraho n’abo ahasanze.

¹⁸ Maze umugwi w’abanyabwenge bitwa Abepikureyo n’Abasitoyiko, batangura guharira na we. Bamwe barabaza bati: “Mbega ivyo ariko aradedemba ni ibiki?” Abandi bakavuga bati: “Umenga ariko avuga ivy’imana z’inyamahanga.” Ivyo babivuze kuko Pawulo yariko ababwira Ubutumwa Bwiza bwa Yesu n’izuka.

²⁰ Ivyo uzanye bimeze nk’ivyaduka mu matwi yacu, tugomba kumenya ivyo ari vyo.”

²¹ (Mu bisanzwe abantu bo muri Atenayi n’abanyamahanga bahaba bama bahura ata kindi kibahuje atari ukuvuga n’ukwumviriza inkuri nshasha.)

²² Nuko Pawulo ahagarara imbere y’ikoraniro rya Areyopago, avuga ati: “Yemwe bantu bo muri Atenayi, ndabona ko mwubaha cane imana zanyu mu buryo bwose.

²³ Kuko igihe nariko ndagendagenda ndaba ivyo mukoresha mu gusenga, nabonye n’igicaniro canditsweko ngo: ic’imana itazwi. None rero iyo musenga mutazi niyo ngira ndababwire.

²⁴ Imana yaremye isi n’ibiyirimwo ni yo Mwami y’ijuru n’isi kandi ntiba mu ngoro zubatswe n’abantu.

²⁵ Ntikeneye ko abantu bayifasha nkaho umenga hari ico ibuze, kuko ari yo nyene iha abantu ubuzima no guhumeka, hamwe n’ibindi vyose.

²⁶ Mu ruvyaro rw’umuntu umwe yakuyemwo amoko yose iyakwiza kw’isi yose. Ni yo yabashiriyeho igihe bazobaho, ibashingira n’imbibe z’aho bazoba.

²⁷ Imana yakoze ivyo kugira ngo abantu bayirondere, kandi kugira ngo kumbure nibagerageza kuyirondera baze bayibone, n’aho itari kure y’umuntu n’umwe muri twebwe.

²⁸ Ni kubera yo tubayeho, tukagendagenda, kandi tukagira ubuzima. Nk’uko bamwe mu bahinga banyu babivuze, ‘Turi uruvyaro rwayo.’

²⁹ None rero, ko turi uruvyaro rwayo, ntidukwiye kwiyumvira ko Imana imeze nk’igishushanyo gikozwe mu nzahabu, mw’ifeza canke mw’ibuye, mu buhinga n’amaboko vy’abantu.

³⁰ Ibihe vy’ubutamenya Imana yaravyihanganiye, ariko ubu ihamagarira abantu aho bari hose kwihana,

³¹ kuko yashinze umusi izocira imanza isi mu bugororotsi, ikoresheje uwo yagenye. Iyo Imana yabigaragaje kuri bose mu kumuzura mu bapfuye.”

³² Bumvise ivyo kuzuka kw’abapfuye, bamwe baritwengera, ariko abandi bavuga bati: “Tuzosubira kukwumviriza kuri ivyo ikindi gihe.”

³³ Nuko Pawulo aca ava muri iryo koraniro.

³⁴ Ariko bamwe mu bari aho baca bacika abigishwa ba Pawulo, barizera. Muri abo harimwo Diyonisiyo, umwe mu bagize inama Areyopago, umugore yitwa Damari, hamwe n’abandi.
