Acts 26
1 And Agrippa said to Paul, You may put your cause before us. Then Paul, stretching out his hand, made his answer, saying:
Agirphphay Phawulossa “ne ne gish hasa7anas dandda7assa) gides. Phawulossaykka ba kushe denthidi malththe hizgi immides.
2 In my opinion I am happy, King Agrippa, to be able to give my answer before you today to all these things which the Jews say against me:
“Kawoo Agirphpha! tana Ayhudati moootiza yoo wursisos hach ta ne sinththan tana maadana malththe immiza gish tana daroo ufayses.
3 The more so, because you are expert in all questions to do with the Jews and their ways: so I make my request to you to give me a hearing to the end.
Gasoyka ne Ayhudata wogane istta palama wursia looetha errasa; Hessa gish ne ta giza wursia dandda7ada siyana mala ta nena wosays.
4 All the Jews have knowledge of my way of life from my early years, as it was from the start among my nation, and at Jerusalem;
“Tani guuththa nateththa wodeppe oykkada waana deydakko Ayhuda asati erretes. Koyrope ha7i gakkanaas ta ta dere asa gidoonine Yerusalamen ta deyda duussu asay erres.
5 And they are able to say, if they would give witness, that I was living as a Pharisee, in that division of our religion which is most regular in the keeping of the law.
Qassekka istti markkatana koykko nu ammano gish ta keha minththa woga naggiza Parsawe bagga gidada gamm7idade gididayssa istti koyrope denththidi erretes.
6 And now I am here to be judged because of the hope given by God's word to our fathers;
Ha7i qasse pirdas tana hayssan essiday Xoossi kasse nu aawatas immida caaqqo qaala uhaaththaayssa gishaskko.
7 For the effecting of which our twelve tribes have been working and waiting night and day with all their hearts. And in connection with this hope I am attacked by the Jews, O king!
Ha uhaaththaayssako gakkanaas nu zarkketi taammane namm7ati Xoossa gaallasine qamma goyinnishe naggida. Kawo nees too! takka Ayhudati tana mootizay ha yoza gishaskko.
8 Why, in your opinion, is it outside belief for God to make the dead come to life again?
Xoossi hayqqidayta denththanayssi wannidi Ayhuda gidida inte achchan ammanetibeyne?
9 For I, truly, was of the opinion that it was right for me to do a number of things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Takka ta baggara Nazirete Yesussa sunththa eqqistanas beses gada qoppadis shin;
10 And this I did in Jerusalem: and numbers of the saints I put in prison, having had authority given to me from the chief priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my decision against them.
Tani Yerusalamen ooththidaykka hessakoshin; Qeessista hallaqqatape ta ekkida godateththara ammanizaytape daroota qasho keeththan yegiissadis; istta wodhdhishin wodhdhizaytara isfe days.
11 And I gave them punishment frequently, in all the Synagogues, forcing them to say things against God; and burning with passion against them, I went after them even into far-away towns.
Daro wode Ayhudata wossa keethati dizason awankka istti qaaxxayistana malanne ba ammano kadana mala ooththadis; Istta bolla daro hanqqistadakka Isra7eleppe karen diza hara kaatamatakka baada ammanizayta goodadis.
12 Then, when I was journeying to Damascus with the authority and orders of the chief priests,
“Hayssa ha yoozas Qeessista hallaqatappe kummetha godateththine azazo ekkada dammasqqo gizaso ta bishin;
13 In the middle of the day, on the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining round me and those who were journeying with me.
Kawoo nes too! Buroo ta ogen dishin gadey seeta gallas gidishin awa arshe poo7oppe adhdhiza poo7o beyadis; He poo7oy tanane tanara biza asata yuuy adhdhidi salope po7ides.
14 And when we had all gone down on the earth, a voice came to me, saying in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly? It is hard for you to go against the impulse which is driving you.
Nu wurkka biita bolla kundidishin Ayhudata qaalara (Sawulle! Sawulle! tana aazas goddazi? Neni qara maashsha bolla eqqiikko nerkka nena qohasa) giza qaala siyadis.
15 And I said, Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking.
Takka (Godo! ne oonne?) Gadis; Godaykka (Ta ne Goda Yesussako!
16 But get up on your feet: for I have come to you for this purpose, to make you a servant and a witness of the things in which you have seen me, and of those in which you will see me;
Ha7i denddada ne toon eqqa; ta nes qoncciday ne tana ha7i beyidaysanine sinththafe ta nena beessanayssan ne tas markkatizade gidana mala ta nena shuumana koyadis.
17 And I will keep you safe from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
Isra7ele asa kushepene ta nena isttakko kittiza Ayhuda gidoontta dere asata kusheppekka ashshana.
18 To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me.
Ne istta ayfe doyana malane dhumape poo7on kessana mala qassekka xalla7es harettizasope Xoossakko ne zaarana mala ooththana; isttikka tana ammanida gish ba nagarappe marettana qasse dorettidayta giddon istti laata gade demana) gidees.
19 So, then, King Agrippa, I did not go against the vision from heaven;
“Hessa gish kawoo Agirphpha! Salope tas immetida ajjutas ta azazettadis.
20 But I went about, first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and through all the country of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, preaching a change of heart, so that they, being turned to God, might give, in their works, the fruits of a changed heart.
Gido attin ta kassistada Dammasqqon diza asa kaaliethada Yerussalamenine Yuhuda deren wursion dizayta qassekka Ayhuda gidoontta deretikka nagare ogeppe Xoossakko simmidi maretna mala erisadis. Istti nagarappe simmidayssa beessizayssa ooththana mala ta isttas yootadis.
21 For this reason, the Jews took me in the Temple, and made an attempt to put me to death.
Hessa gaason Ayhudati ta Xoossa keeththan dishin tana oykkidi wodhdhana koyda.
22 And so, by God's help, I am here today, witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come about;
Hachch gakkanaaskka tas Xoossafe maadoy pacci errena. Hesa gish guuththaskka gitaskka markkatashe hayssan eqqadis. Nabetinne Mussey kassetidi hayssa malay hanana gidayssa yootope attin ta hara aykkokka yootabeykke.
23 That the Christ would go through pain, and being the first to come back from the dead, would give light to the people and to the Gentiles.
Isttikka yootidaysi (Xoossi kittidadey meto beeyana, hayqqope denddon koyro gididi, asi attana poo7o Isra7ele deresinne Isra7ele nayta gidontta deretas qonccana) gizayssakko.”
24 And when he made his answer in these words, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, you are off your head; your great learning has made you unbalanced.
Phawulossay hessa yootishin Fisxxossay “Phawulossa! ha7i ne gooyyontta aggakka; ne daro taamaridayssi nena goshshides” gi wassides.
25 Then Paul said, I am not off my head, most noble Festus, but my words are true and wise.
Phawulossay gidikko izas hizzgi zaarides “boncho Fisxxossa! ta nes tuma erada yootayss attin goyabeyke.
26 For the king has knowledge of these things, to whom I am talking freely; being certain that all this is common knowledge to him; for it has not been done in secret.
Ta iza sinththan qonccera yootida kawooy hayssa yooza erres; hayssikka qootara ooththetonttayssa gidida gish kawooy erranayssa ta ammanetayss.
27 King Agrippa, have you faith in the prophets? I am certain that you have.
Kawoo Agirphpha! nabeta ammanasa gidikki? ne ammanizayssa ta errayss.”
28 And Agrippa said to Paul, A little more and you will be making me a Christian.
Agirphphaykka Phawulossa “Hekko ne tana hanno guuththa wode garssan ammanthana koyasa” gides.
29 And Paul said, It is my prayer to God that, in little or great measure, not only you, but all those hearing me today might be even as I am, but for these chains.
Phawulossakka izas zaaridi “guuththa woden gidinkka woykko daro woden ne xalla gidontta dishin hach ta yootidayssa siday wuri hanno ta qachcheteththia atta wurikka ta mala gidana mala ta Xoossa wossayss” gides.
30 And the king and the ruler and Bernice and those who were seated with them got up;
Hessafe guye kawooy, dere ayssizaysi, Barnqanne isttara uttida asaykka wuri denddides.
31 And when they had gone away they said to one another, This man has done nothing which might give cause for death or prison.
Istti hepe kezi bishe ba garssan hays addezi hayqqos woykko qachchos gaththiza mishshe aykokka ooththibeyna” gida.
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been made free, if he had not put his cause before Caesar.
Agirphphaykka Fisxxossa “hayssi addezi yooza Qessares shiiqo gonttako aykko woththoy bayndda mela yedistanako shin” gides.
