| Albanian | Diskutonin me të edhe disa filozofë epikurianë dhe stoikë. Disa thoshnin: ''Vallë ç'do të thotë ky llafazan''. Dhe të tjerë thoshnin: ''Ai duket se është një kasnec i perëndivë të huaja'', sepse u shpall atyre Jezusin dhe ringjalljen. |
| Cebuano | Ug iyang gikaasdang usab ang pipila sa mga pilosopo nga mga Epicureo ug mga Estoico. Ug may nangutana nga nag-ingon, "Unsa man kahay buot isulti niining tawong tigpamunit ug kahibalo?"

| Danish | Men også nogle af de epikuræiske og stoiske Filosoffer indlode sig i Ordstrid med ham; og nogle sagde: ""Hvad vil denne Ordgyder sige?"" men andre: ""Han synes at være en Forkynder af fremmede Guddomme;"" fordi han forkyndte Evangeliet om Jesus og Opstandelsen. |
| Dutch | En sommigen van de Epikureische en Stoische wijsgeren streden met hem; en sommigen zeiden: Wat wil toch deze klapper zeggen? Maar anderen zeiden: Hij schijnt een verkondiger te zijn van vreemde goden; omdat hij hun Jezus en de opstanding verkondigde. |
| Finnish | Ja muutamat epikurolaiset ja stoalaiset filosofit väittelivät hänen kanssansa; ja toiset sanoivat: "Mitähän tuo lavertelija oikein tahtoo sanoa?" Toiset taas sanoivat: "Näkyy olevan vieraiden jumalien julistaja", koska hän julisti heille evankeliumia Jeesuksesta ja ylösnousemuksesta. |
| French | Quelques philosophes épicuriens et stoïciens se mirent parler avec lui. Et les uns disaient: Que veut dire ce discoureur? D`autres, l`entendant annoncer Jésus et la résurrection, disaient: Il semble qu`il annonce des divinités étrangères. |
| Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari | Guru-guru aliran Epikuros dan aliran Stoa berdebat juga dengan dia. Beberapa dari mereka berkata, "Orang ini tahu apa? Pengetahuannya hanya sedikit, tetapi ia banyak mulut!" Beberapa yang lainnya berkata, "Rupanya ia memberitakan tentang dewa-dewa bangsa lain." Mereka berkata begitu, karena Paulus berbicara tentang Yesus dan tentang hidup kembali sesudah mati. |
| Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama | Maka ada pula beberapa orang yang memegang pengajaran orang Epikuri dan Stoiki berbantah dengan dia. Ada yang berkata, "Apakah hendak dikatakan oleh si peleter ini?"
