Acts 8
1 And at that time there was a great persecution against the church that was in Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Saa7oli Isxifaanose hayquwan ufayttis. He gallas Yerusalaamen de7iya woosa keethan gita goodi denddis. Hawaareti attin ammaneyssati ubbay Yihuda biittaninne Samaare biittan laalettidosona.
2 But devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
Issi issi Xoossaa asati Isxifaanose moogidosona; qassi iyaw daro yeekkidosona.
3 But Saul attempted to destroy the church; entering every house, and dragging men and women, he delivered them up to prison.
Shin Saa7oli woosa keethaa dhayssanaw koyees. Soo soo yuuyi gelidi, ammaniyaa addetanne maccasata goochchi goochchi kessidi qasho keethi gelssees.
4 Then they that were dispersed went everywhere preaching the word.
Laalettida ammaneyssati bida bessa ubban qaala odidosona.
5 And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached the Christ to them.
Filiphphoosi Samaare katamaa bidi Kiristtoosabaa asaas odis.
6 And the multitudes with one mind gave heed to the things which were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did.
Daro asay Filiphphoosi gidayssa si7ida wodenne I oothiya malaatata be7ida wode iya akeekidi si7idosona.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them, and many paralytics and lame persons were cured.
Tuna ayyaanati waassidi daro asaappe keyidosona; qassi daro gunddatinne wobbeti bilettidosona.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
He kataman de7iya asay daro ufayttidosona.
9 But there was a certain man, named Simon, who had, before this time, been practicing magic in the city, and astonishing the people of Samaria, saying that he was some great one;
Shin Simoona giya issi uray he kataman de7ees. I, ‘Bana gita’ gidi Samaare asaa marotethan malaalisishe gam77is.
10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the great power of God.
Guuthafe gita gakkanaw de7iya asay ubbay, “Gita Xoossaa wolqqay hayssa” gidi iyabaa si77oosona.
11 And they gave heed to him because he had, for a long time, astonished them with his magic arts.
Daro wodeppe doomidi marotishe Samaare asaa malaalisida gisho asay iyabaa si7oosona.
12 But when they believed Philip, who preached the good news concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women.
Shin Filiphphoosi Xoossaa kawotethaabaanne Yesuus Kiristtoosa sunthabaa addetasinne maccatas odin, entti iyabaa ammanidi xammaqettidosona.
13 And Simon himself also believed; and after he was immersed, he continued with Philip; and, seeing the mighty deeds and the signs which were done, he was astonished.
Qassi Simoonikka ba huu7en ammanidi xammaqettis. Filiphphoosara issife bida bessa ubban oosettiya gita malaatata be7idi malaalettis.
14 Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John;
Yerusalaamen de7iya hawaareti Samaare asay Xoossaa qaala ekkidayssa si7ida wode Phexiroosanne Yohaannisa enttako yeddidosona.
15 who, when they had gone down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
Phexiroosinne Yohaannisi bidi, ammaneyssati Geeshsha Ayyaana ekkana mela enttaw Xoossaa woossidosona.
16 For he had not yet fallen on any of them; only they had been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Ays giikko, Samaare asati Godaa Yesuusa sunthaa xalaalan xammaqettidosonappe attin enttafe issuwa bollaka Geeshsha Ayyaanay wodhdhibeenna.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
He wode Phexiroosinne Yohaannisi bantta kushiya entta bolla wothin, entti Geeshsha Ayyaana ekkidosona.
18 And when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money,
Hawaareti bantta kushiya entta bolla wothin, enttaw Geeshsha Ayyaanay imettidayssa Simooni be7ida wode Phexiroosasinne Yohaannisas miishe ehidi,
19 saying: Give me, also, this authority, that whoever I shall lay my hands on, may receive the Holy Spirit.
“Taanikka ta kushiya wothiya ubbay Geeshsha Ayyaana ekkana mela ha maata tawukka immerkketi” yaagis.
20 But Peter said to him: Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God might be purchased with money.
Shin Phexiroosi iyaakko, “Neeni Xoossaa imotaa miishen shammanaw qoppida gisho ne miishey neera dhayo.
21 You have neither part nor share in this matter; for your heart is not right in the sight of God.
Ne wozanay Xoossaa sinthan suure gidonna gisho new hayssan gishoy woykko qaadi baawa.
22 Repent, therefore, of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you.
Hiza, ha ne wozanaa iitatethaa gisho nagaraappe simma. Ne wozanan de7iya iita qofaa Xoossay atto gaana mela Xoossaa woossa.
23 For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
Gaasoykka, neeni iita qanaateninne nagara qashuwan de7eyssa taani be7ays” yaagis.
24 But Simon answered and said: Pray you both to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken come upon me.
Simooni zaaridi, “Hintte gidayssafe issoykka tana gakkonna mela taw Xoossaa woossite” yaagis.
25 Then, when they had given their testimony, and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
Phexiroosinne Yohaannisi markkattidaappenne Godaa qaala odidaappe guye Yerusalaame simmidosona. Samaaren de7iya daro gutatan Wonggelaa odidosona.
26 And an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, and go toward the south, to the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza; this is desert.
Godaa kiitanchchoy Filiphphoosakko, “Denddada Yerusalaameppe Gaaza efiya bazzo biitta ogiyakko ba. He ogey dugeha baggara de7ees” yaagis.
27 And he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
Filiphphoosi denddidi bis. Hinddeke giya Tophphiya kawees I miishe ubbaa naagiya Tophphiya asi de7ees. Ikka goynnanaw Yerusalaame bis.
28 was returning, and, sitting in his chariot, read the prophet Isaiah.
Para gaariyan uttidi, Yerusalaameppe ba biittaa simmishe nabiya Isayaasa maxaafaa nabbabees.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip: Go forward and join yourself to this chariot.
Geeshsha Ayyaanay Filiphphoosakko, “He gaariyakko bada iya mati shiiqa” yaagis.
30 And Philip ran forward, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah; and he said: Do you understand what you are reading?
Yaatin Filiphphoosi woxxi bidi gakkiya wode moorinnay nabiya Isayaasa maxaafappe nabbabishin si7idi, “Ne nabbabeyassi new geli?” yaagis.
31 He answered: How can I, unless some one instruct me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
Moorinnay, “Taw odi gelssiya asi baynna waanidi gelanee?” yaagis. Baara gaariyan keyidi uttana mela Filiphphoosa woossis.
32 The passage of the scripture which he was reading, was this: As a sheep for the slaughter was he led; and as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, so opened he not his mouth
Moorinnay nabbabiya maxaafaa kifiley, “I dorssada shukettanaw laagettis; Dorssa maray ba ikisiya meedeyssata sinthan si7i geyssada, ikka ba doona dooyibeena.
33 in his humiliation. The sentence against him was taken away; but who shall describe the men of his generation? For his life was taken from the earth.
I kawuyis; iyaw xillo pirddi dhays. iya de7oy ha sa7aappe qanxettida gisho, iya sheeshaabaa oone odanay?” yaagees.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said: I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? Of himself, or of some other man?
Moorinnay zaaridi Filiphphoosakko, “Nabey odebaa odi? Babaa odiyye woykko hara asabaa odi? Taw odarkkii” yaagis.
35 And Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus.
Filiphphoosi zaaridi, Xoossaa qaala he bessaafe doomidi, Yesuusabaa odiya Wonggelaa iyaw odis.
36 And as they went along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water; what hinders me from being immersed?
Entti bishe haathi de7iyaso gakkidosona. Moorinnay, “Haathe hayssa be7a; ta xammaqettonna mela aybi diggii?” yaagis.
Filiphphoosi iyaakko, “Neeni ne kumetha wozanaappe ammanikko dandda7aasa” yaagis. I zaaridi, “Yesuus Kiristtoosi Xoossaa Na7aa gideyssa taani ammanays” yaagis.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him.
Gaarey eqqana mela moorinnay kiittin, nam77ay wodhdhidi haathan gelidosona; Filiphphoosi iya xammaqis.
39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Entti haathaafe gaxa keyida wode Godaa ayyaanay Filiphphoosa qopponna ekkis. Nam77antho moorinnay Filiphphoosa be7ibeenna, shin ba ogiya ufayttishe bis.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus, and, passing through, he preached the gospel in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea
Filiphphoosi Azaaxonan bana demmis. Qassi Qisaariya yaana gakkanaw katamatan yuuyidi Wonggelaa markkattis.
