Acts 28
1 And after we had escaped, we then realized that the island was called Malta. Yet truly, the natives offered us no small amount of humane treatment.
Nuuni gaxa saro keyida wode gakkida haathan teqettida biittay Maltta geetetteyssa erida.
2 For they refreshed us all by kindling a fire, because rain was imminent and because of the cold.
Maltta asay nuus daro keeha keehidosona. Iri bukkiya gishonne meeggiya gisho tama eethidi nuna ubbaa mokkidosona.
3 But when Paul had gathered together a bundle of twigs, and had placed them on the fire, a viper, which had been drawn to the heat, fastened itself to his hand.
Phawuloosi daro afira shiishidi taman wothishin, shooshi seelaa gisho keyidi iya kushiya bolla xaaxettidi iya dukkis.
4 And truly, when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they were saying to one another: “Certainly, this man must be a murderer, for though he escaped from the sea, vengeance will not permit him to live.”
Maltta asay shooshi Phawuloosa kushen xaaxettidayssa be7ida wode issoy issuwako, “Tuma ha uray shemppo wodhida asi; hari attoshin abbaafe I attinkka xoossa pirddafe attidi paxa daanaw dandda7ibeenna” yaagidosona.
5 But shaking off the creature into the fire, he indeed suffered no ill effects.
Shin Phawuloosi ba kushiyappe shooshaa wuxarkkidi, taman yeggis; iya aykkoka qohibeenna.
6 But they were supposing that he would soon swell up, and then would suddenly fall down and die. But having waited a long time, and seeing no ill effects in him, they changed their minds and were saying that he was a god.
Entti, “Iya bollay kixxees, woykko akeekonna kunddidi hayqqees” gidi iya naagoosona. Shin daro wode naagidi iya bollan aybikka dummattidabay dhayin, “Hessi xoosse” yaagidi bantta qofaa laammidosona.
7 Now among these places were estates owned by the ruler of the island, named Publius. And he, taking us in, showed us kind hospitality for three days.
He heeran haathan teqettida biittaa halaqay Pupliyoosa geyssas gadey de7ees; heedzu gallas gakkanaw i nuna siiqon mokkis.
8 Then it happened that the father of Publius lay ill with a fever and with dysentery. Paul entered to him, and when he had prayed and had laid his hands on him, he saved him.
Pupliyoosa aaway qoxo, mishanne ulo uttison harggettidi zin77idi de7ees. Phawuloosi iya soo gelidi iyaw Xoossaa woossis; ba kushiya iya bolla wothidi pathis.
9 When this had been done, all who had diseases on the island approached and were cured.
Hessafe guye, Maltan de7iya harggiya hara asatikka yidi paxidosona.
10 And then they also presented us with many honors. And when we were ready to set sail, they gave us whatever we needed.
Entti nuna daro bonchcho bonchchidosona; nuuni markkaben baanaw denddida wode oges koshshiyabaa nuus immidosona.
11 And so, after three months, we sailed in a ship from Alexandria, whose name was ‘the Castors,’ and which had wintered at the island.
Heedzu ageenappe guye, Maltan balggo aathida Iskkinddiriya markkaben baanaw denddida. He markkabiya bolla Diyosqoroosa giya mentte eeqata misiley de7ees.
12 And when we had arrived at Syracuse, we were delayed there for three days.
Sirakuuse giya katamaa gelidi yan heedzu gallas uttida.
13 From there, sailing close to the shore, we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, with the south wind blowing, we arrived on the second day at Puteoli.
Yaappe denddidi Regiyume giya katamaa gakkida. Issi gallasappe guye, dugeha bagga carkkoy carkkin, wonttetha gallas Putiyoole giya katamaa gakkida.
14 There, after locating the brothers, we were asked to remain with them for seven days. And then we went on to Rome.
Yan nuuni issi issi ammaniyaa asata demmin, banttara saamintta gam77ana mela nuna woossidosona. Hessafe guye, Roome bida.
15 And there, when the brothers had heard of us, they went to meet us as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns. And when Paul had seen them, giving thanks to God, he took courage.
Roomen de7iya ammaniyaa asati nubaa si7idi, Afiyoosa Giyaan, Heedzu Aqiyaso giya bessaa gakkanaw nuna mokkanaw yidosona. Phawuloosi entta be7ida wode Xoossaa galatidi minettis.
16 And when we had arrived at Rome, Paul was given permission to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
Nuuni Roome gelida wode Phawuloosi bana naagiya wotaaddariyara barkka de7o geetettis.
17 And after the third day, he called together the leaders of the Jews. And when they had convened, he said to them: “Noble brothers, I have done nothing against the people, nor against the customs of the fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
Heedzu gallasappe guye, Phawuloosi Ayhudeta halaqata baakko xeegisis. Entti shiiqida wode enttako, “Ta ishato, taani nu asaa woykko nu aawata wogaa bolla aybi qohokka oothabiikke, shin tana Yerusalaamen qachchidi Roome asaas aathidi immidosona.
18 And after they held a hearing about me, they would have released me, because there was no case for death against me.
Entti ta mootuwa be7idi hayqos gathiyabaa ta bolla aybibaakka demmiboonna gisho tana billanaaw qoppidosona.
19 But with the Jews speaking against me, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, though it was not as if I had any kind of accusation against my own nation.
Shin Ayhudeti hessa ixxida wode, ‘Tabaa Qeesarey pirddo’ yaagasippe attin taani ta deriya mootiyabay de7in gidenna.
20 And so, because of this, I requested to see you and to speak to you. For it is because of the hope of Israel that I am encircled with this chain.”
Taani hinttena xeegisiday hinttena be7anawunne hinttew hayssa odanaassa. Taani ha santhalaatan qashettiday Isra7eele asay naagiya ufayssaa gishossa” yaagis.
21 But they said to him: “We have not received letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the other new arrivals among the brothers reported or spoken anything evil against you.
Ayhude halaqati Phawuloosakko, “Nuus Yihudappe nebaa xaafettida dabddaabbey gakkibeenna. Yaappe yida asatappe issoykka nebaa iita odiday baawa.
22 But we are asking to hear your opinions from you, for concerning this sect, we know that it is being spoken against everywhere.”
Shin ha ne kaalliya ammanuwa dumma dumma bessan asay ixxeyssa nuuni eriya gisho ne qofaa si7anaw koyoos” yaagidosona.
23 And when they had appointed a day for him, very many persons went to him at his guest quarters. And he discoursed, testifying to the kingdom of God, and persuading them about Jesus, using the law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning until evening.
Entti bantta yaana gallas Phawuloosas qaxaridi, he gallas daridi i de7iyasuwa yidosona. I wonttafe omarssi gakkanaw Xoossaa kawotethaabaa enttaw markkattis. Qassi entti Yesuusabaa ammanana mela Muse higgiyafenne nabeta maxaafappe qonccisidi entta tamaarssis.
24 And some believed the things that he was saying, yet others did not believe.
Issoti issoti Phawuloosi gidayssa ammanidosona, shin harati ammanibookkona.
25 And when they could not agree among themselves, they departed, while Paul was speaking this one word: “How well did the Holy Spirit speak to our fathers through the prophet Isaiah,
Entti bantta giddon oda ma77onna ixxida wode Phawuloosi issibaa gidaappe guye bidosona. I hayssada yaagis: “Geeshsha Ayyaanay nu aawatas nabiya Isayaasa doonan odidayssi tuma.
26 saying: ‘Go to this people and say to them: Hearing, you shall hear and not understand, and seeing, you shall see and not perceive.
‘Neeni he asaakko bada, hintte sissaa si7eeta, shin hinttew gelenna; hintte be7o be7eeta, shin demmeketa.
27 For the heart of this people has grown dull, and they have listened with reluctant ears, and they have closed their eyes tightly, lest perhaps they might see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and so be converted, and I would heal them.’
Ays giikko, ha deriya wozanay muumis; entta haythay tullis; entta ayfeykka goozettis. Hessi baynneeko, entti bantta ayfiyaan be7idi, bantta haythan si7idi, bantta wozanan akeekidi, entti taakko simmana; takka entta pathanashin’ yaaga” yaagis.
28 Therefore, let it be known to you, that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they shall listen to it.”
“Hiza, hayssi Xoossaa atotethaa kiitay Ayhude gidonnayssatas gideyssa ereeta. Enttika si7ana” yaagis.
29 And when he had said these things, the Jews went away from him, though they still had many questions among themselves.
Phawuloosi hessa gidaappe guye, Ayhudeti bantta giddon daro palamishe keyidi bidosona.
30 Then he remained for two whole years in his own rented lodgings. And he received all who went in to him,
Phawuloosi kera keethan nam77u laythi kumethi de7is; yan de7ishe baakko yaa ubbaa mokkees.
31 preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which are from the Lord Jesus Christ, with all faithfulness, without prohibition.
Yashshi baynnanne oonikka diggonnashin Xoossaa kawotethaabaa sabbakis; Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosabaa qonccisidi tamaarssees.
