Acts 17:16

Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was greatly angered when he saw that the city was full of idols.

Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

The longer Paul waited in Athens for Silas and Timothy, the angrier he got—all those idols! The city was a junkyard of idols. 17-18 He discussed it with the Jews and other like-minded people at their meeting place. And every day he went out on the streets and talked with anyone who happened along. He got to know some of the Epicurean and Stoic intellectuals pretty well through these conversations. Some of them dismissed him with sarcasm: “What an airhead!” But others, listening to him go on about Jesus and the resurrection, were intrigued: “That’s a new slant on the gods. Tell us more.” 19-21 These people got together and asked him to make a public presentation over at the Areopagus, where things were a little quieter. They said, “This is a new one on us. We’ve never heard anything quite like it. Where did you come up with this anyway? Explain it so we can understand.” Downtown Athens was a great place for gossip. There were always people hanging around, natives and tourists alike, waiting for the latest tidbit on most anything. 22-23 So Paul took his stand in the open space at the Areopagus and laid it out for them. “It is plain to see that you Athenians take your religion seriously. When I arrived here the other day, I was fascinated with all the shrines I came across. And then I found one inscribed, to the god nobody knows. I’m here to introduce you to this God so you can worship intelligently, know who you’re dealing with. 24-29 “The God who made the world and everything in it, this Master of sky and land, doesn’t live in custom-made shrines or need the human race to run errands for him, as if he couldn’t take care of himself. He makes the creatures; the creatures don’t make him. Starting from scratch, he made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living so we could seek after God, and not just grope around in the dark but actually find him. He doesn’t play hide-and-seek with us. He’s not remote; he’s near. We live and move in him, can’t get away from him! One of your poets said it well: ‘We’re the God-created.’ Well, if we are the God-created, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to think we could hire a sculptor to chisel a god out of stone for us, does it? 30-31 “God overlooks it as long as you don’t know any better—but that time is past. The unknown is now known, and he’s calling for a radical life-change. He has set a day when the entire human race will be judged and everything set right. And he has already appointed the judge, confirming him before everyone by raising him from the dead.” 32-34 At the phrase “raising him from the dead,” the listeners split: Some laughed at him and walked off making jokes; others said, “Let’s do this again. We want to hear more.” But that was it for the day, and Paul left. There were still others, it turned out, who were convinced then and there, and stuck with Paul—among them Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris.

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

Mientras Pablo los esperaba en Atenas, se sentía profundamente afligido al ver que la ciudad estaba entregada por entero a la idolatría.

Paul was waiting for Silas and Timothy in Athens. He was very upset to see that the city was full of statues of gods.

Sɛnea mimfi wiase no, saa ara nso na womfi wiase.

وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ بُولُسُ يَنْتَظِرُهُمَا فِي أَثِينَا رَأَى الْمَدِينَةَ مَمْلُوءَةً أَصْنَاماً فَتَضَايَقَتْ رُوحُهُ.

Samtang naghulat si Pablo kang Silas ug kang Timoteo didto sa Atenas, nakita niya nga daghan kaayo ang ilang mga dios-dios didto. Nasubo gayod siya.

Zatímco na ně čekal, procházel Pavel Aténami. Všechno se v něm bouřilo, když viděl, jak tam lidé horlivě uctívali sochy bohů.

Mens Paulus ventede på dem i Athen, blev han mere og mere opbragt over alle de afgudsbilleder, han så rundt omkring i byen.

Während Paulus in Athen auf Silas und Timotheus wartete, wurde er zornig über die vielen Götterstatuen in der Stadt.

Mientras Pablo los esperaba en Atenas, le dolió en el alma ver que la ciudad estaba llena de ídolos.

Pendant qu’il attendait ses compagnons à Athènes, Paul bouillait d’indignation en voyant combien cette ville était remplie d’idoles.

בזמן שפולוס חיכה להם באתונה, הוא נמלא צער למראה האלילים הרבים שמילאו את העיר.

Samtang nagahulat si Pablo kay Silas kag kay Timoteo didto sa Atens, nakita niya nga madamo gid ang ila mga dios-dios. Natublag gid siya.

Dok ih je Pavao čekao u Ateni, silno se uznemiri videći kako je grad prepun idola.

Mentre Paolo li aspettava ad Atene, si sentiva profondamente indignato nel vedere la città piena dʼidoli.

アテネで二人を待つ間、パウロは市内を見物することにしました。ところがどうでしょう。町は偶像でいっぱいでした。パウロの胸には、ふつふつと憤りが込み上げてきました。

바울은 아테네에서 실라와 디모데를 기다리고 있는 동안 그 도시에 우상이 가득한 것을 보고 크게 격분하였다.

Mens Paulus ventet på Silas og Timoteus, så han seg omkring i Aten. Han ble dypt rystet over alle avgudsbildene han oppdaget over alt i byen.

Terwijl Paulus in Athene op hen wachtte, viel het hem op dat er overal in de stad beelden van allerlei goden stonden, dat stoorde hem.

Czekając na nich w Atenach, Paweł był oburzony, widząc miasto pełne bożków.

Enquanto esperava por eles em Atenas, Paulo ficou profundamente indignado ao ver que a cidade estava cheia de ídolos.

Enquanto Paulo os esperava em Atenas, ficou perturbado com o grande número de ídolos que via por toda a cidade.

Pabloca Atenaspimi Silasta, Timoteota shuyacurca. Chai pueblopi causajcunaca rurashcalla achca dioscunatami charircacuna. Chaita ricushpami, paipaj shungupica anchata llaquirishpa p'iñarirca.

În timp ce Pavel îi aştepta în Atena, i s-a întărâtat duhul în el când a văzut că cetatea era plină de idoli.

Паул в ожидании своих спутников ходил по Афинам, и его возмущало огромное количество идолов в этом городе.

Павел в ожидании своих спутников ходил по Афинам, и его возмущало огромное количество идолов в этом городе.

Kým Pavol v Aténach čakal na Sílasa a Timoteja, bol hlboko znepokojený pri pohľade na množstvo pohanských modiel, obrazov i sôch, s ktorými sa stretával v meste na každom kroku.

Medan Paulus väntade på dem, gick han omkring i Athen och han blev upprörd över alla de avgudabilder han såg överallt i staden.

Paulo alipokuwa akiwangojea wenzake huko Athene alisikit ishwa sana kuona jinsi mji ulivyojaa miungu ya sanamu.

ขณะรอสิลาสกับทิโมธีอยู่ในกรุงเอเธนส์เปาโลก็ทุกข์ใจยิ่งนักที่เห็นเมืองนี้เต็มไปด้วยรูปเคารพ
