Acts 9
1 And Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Gidduudhuma sana Saaʼol barattoota Gooftaa ajjeesuuf dhaadachaa gara luba ol aanaa dhaqee,
2 And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and women of this way, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
nama karaa kana irra jiru kam iyyuu dhiiras dubartiis yoo argate akka hidhee Yerusaalemitti geessuuf akka lubni sun gara manneen sagadaa kanneen Damaasqoo jiraniitti xalayaawwan isaaf barreessuuf isa kadhate.
3 And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus; and suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him.
Utuu inni deemaa jiruu akkuma Damaasqootti dhiʼaateen akkuma tasaa ifni tokko samii irraa naannoo isaatti balaqqise.
4 And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Innis lafatti kufee sagalee, “Yaa Saaʼol, Yaa Saaʼol, ati maaliif na ariʼatta?” isaan jedhu tokko dhagaʼe.
5 Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
Saaʼolis, “Yaa Gooftaa, ati eenyu?” jedhee gaafate. Innis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani Yesuus isa ati ariʼattuu dha. Arfii wayii dhiituun suma miidha.
6 And he trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
Amma kaʼii magaalaa seeni; wanni ati gootu sitti himamaatii” jedheen.
7 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the city, and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company with him, stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no man.
Namoonni Saaʼol wajjin deemaa turanis waan dubbatan dhabanii dhadhaabatan; isaanis sagalee dhagaʼan malee nama tokko illee hin argine.
8 And Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus.
Saaʼolis lafaa kaʼe; innis yommuu iji isaa banametti homaa arguu hin dandeenye; isaanis harka isaa qabanii Damaasqootti isa geessan.
9 And he was there three days, without sight, and he did neither eat nor drink.
Iji isaas Guyyaa sadii guutuu arguu hin dandeenye; innis homaa hin nyaanne; homaas hin dhugne.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. And he said: Behold I am here, Lord.
Damaasqoo keessa barataa Anaaniyaas jedhamu tokkotu ture. Gooftaanis mulʼataan, “Yaa Anaaniyaas!” jedhee isa waame. Innis, “Yaa Gooftaa, kunoo ani asin jira” jedhee deebise.
11 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Stait, and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth.
Gooftaanis akkana jedheen; “Kaʼii gara daandii ‘Qajeelaa’ jedhamu sanaa mana Yihuudaa dhaqiitii nama Saaʼol jedhamu kan Xarseesii dhufe tokko iyyaafadhu; inni kadhannaa irra jiraatii.
12 (And he saw a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.)
Saaʼolis nama Anaaniyaas jedhamu tokko isaa dhufee akka agartuun isaa deebiʼuufiif harka isa irra kaaʼu mulʼataan arge.”
13 But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem.
Anaaniyaasis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Yaa Gooftaa, ani waaʼee namicha kanaa, miidhaa inni qulqulloota kee warra Yerusaalem jiraatan irratti hojjete hundumaa dhagaʼeera.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name.
Ammas warra maqaa kee waammatan hunda hidhuuf jedhee luboota hangafoota irraa aangoo fudhatee dhufeera.”
15 And the Lord said to him: Go thy way; for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.
Gooftaan garuu Anaaniyaasiin akkana jedhe; “Namichi kun miʼa koo kan ani akka inni namoota Ormaatii fi mootota isaanii duratti, saba Israaʼel durattis maqaa koo baatuuf jedhee filadhe waan taʼeef kaʼii dhaqi!
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
Ani akka inni maqaa kootiif jedhee rakkachuu qabu isattin argisiisa.”
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest; that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Anaaniyaasis dhaqee mana sana seene. Harka isaas Saaʼol irra kaaʼee, “Yaa obboleessa koo Saaʼol, Gooftaa Yesuus inni utuu ati as dhuftuu karaa irratti sitti mulʼate sun akka ati argituu fi akka ati Hafuura Qulqulluun guutamtuuf na ergeera” jedhe.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and rising up, he was baptized.
Yommusuma wanni akka qolaa ija Saaʼol irraa harcaʼe; inni ammas arguu dandaʼe. Kaʼees cuuphame.
19 And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days.
Nyaatas nyaatee jajjabaate. Saaʼol bultii gabaabduudhaaf barattoota Damaasqoo jiran bira bubbule.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Innis akka Yesuus ilma Waaqaa taʼe yeruma sana manneen sagadaa keessatti lallabuu jalqabe.
21 And all that heard him, were astonished, and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name: and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?
Warri isa dhagaʼan hundinuus dinqifatanii akkana jedhan; “Namichi kun isuma Yerusaalem keessatti warra maqaa kana waammatan balleesse sana mitii? Ammas hidhee luboota hangafootatti isaan geessuuf dhufe mitii?”
22 But Saul increased much more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ.
Saaʼol garuu ittuma jabaachaa deeme; innis akka Yesuus kun Kiristoos taʼe mirkaneessuudhaan Yihuudoota Damaasqoo keessa jiraatan afaan qabachiise.
23 And when many days were passed, the Jews consulted together to kill him.
Erga guyyaan hedduun darbee booddees Yihuudoonni isa ajjeesuuf mariʼatan.
24 But their laying in wait was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night, that they might kill him.
Saaʼol garuu marii isaanii kana beeke; isaanis isa ajjeesuuf jedhanii halkanii guyyaa balbala magaalaa sanaa jabeessanii eegaa turan.
25 But the disciples taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down in a basket.
Barattoonni isaa garuu halkaniin fuudhanii guuboodhaan dallaa irraan dabarsanii gad isa buusan.
26 And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples; and they all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Innis yommuu gara Yerusaalem dhufetti barattootatti dabalamuu yaale; isaanis waan barataa taʼuu isaa hin amaniniif hundi isaanii isa sodaatan.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him; and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus.
Barnaabaas immoo fuudhee ergamootatti isa geesse; akka Saaʼol itti karaatti gooftaa arge, akka itti gooftaan isatti dubbatee fi akka inni sodaa malee Damaasqoo keessatti maqaa Yesuusiitiin lallabe isaanitti hime.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, and dealing confidently in the name of the Lord.
Saaʼolis isaan wajjin jiraatee Yerusaalem keessa sodaa malee baʼee galaa ture; maqaa Gooftaatiinis ija jabinaan lallabe.
29 He spoke also to the Gentiles, and disputed with the Greeks; but they sought to kill him.
Yihuudoota Giriikota keessa jiraatan wajjinis dubbachaa isaaniinis morkachaa ture; isaan garuu isa ajjeesuu barbaadan.
30 Which when the brethren had known, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
Obboloonnis yommuu waan kana beekanitti fuudhanii Qiisaariyaatti gad isa buusan; gara Xarsees isa ergan.
31 Now the church had peace throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria; and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord, and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost.
Kanaafis waldaan kiristaanaa Yihuudaa, Galiilaa fi Samaariyaa keessa jirtu guutummaatti nagaa argatte; ni cimtes. Isheenis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan jajjabaatee sodaa Gooftaatiin jiraachuudhaan baayʼinaan guddachaa deemte.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
Phexros utuu biyya sana keessa naannaʼaa jiruu qulqulloota Liidaa keessa jiraatan ilaaluuf gad buʼe.
33 And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy.
Achittis namicha laamshaʼaa Eeniyaa jedhamu kan waggaa saddeeti siree irratti hafee ture tokko arge.
34 And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And immediately he arose.
Phexrosis, “Yaa Eeniyaa, Yesuus Kiristoos si fayyisa; kaʼiitii siree kee afadhu” jedheen. Eeniyaanis yommusuma kaʼe.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him: who were converted to the Lord.
Namoonni Liidaa fi Shaaroon keessa jiraatan hundinuu isa arganii Gooftaatti deebiʼan.
36 And in Joppe there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
Yoophee keessas barattuu Xaabiitaa jedhamtu tokkotu ture; Xaabiitaa jechuun Doorqaa jechuu dha. Isheenis yeroo hunda waan gaarii hojjetti; hiyyeeyyiis ni gargaarti turte.
37 And it came to pass in those days that she was sick, and died. Whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
Isheenis baruma sana keessa dhukkubsattee duute; reeffa ishees dhiqanii kutaa darbii tokko keessa kaaʼan.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them.
Liidaan kun Yoopheetti dhiʼoo turte; barattoonnis yommuu akka Phexros Liidaa jiru dhagaʼanitti nama lama isatti erganii, “Maaloo dafii nu bira gaʼi!” jedhanii isa kadhatan.
39 And Peter rising up, went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made them.
Phexrosis kaʼee isaan wajjin deeme; akkuma inni achi gaʼeenis gara kutaa darbii sanaatti isa geessan. Haadhonni hiyyeessaa hundinuu isa bira dhaabatanii kootii fi wayyaa biraa kan Doorqaan yeroo isaan wajjin turte hojjette sana isatti argisiisanii booʼaa turan.
40 And they all being put forth, Peter kneeling down prayed, and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.
Phexrosis hunda isaanii gad baasee jilbeenfatee Waaqa kadhate; reeffa sanattis garagalee, “Xaabiitaa kaʼi!” jedhe. Isheenis ija ishee banattee Phexrosin argite; kaatees ni teesse.
41 And giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
Innis harka qabee ishee kaase; amantootaa fi haadhota hiyyeessaa waamee jiraattuu taatee isaan fuuldura dhaabe.
42 And it was made known throughout all Joppe; and many believed in the Lord.
Kunis Yoophee hunda keessatti beekame; namoonni baayʼeenis Gooftaatti amanan.
43 And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner.
Phexrosis Yoophee keessa gogaa duugduu Simoon jedhamu tokko bira guyyaa hedduu ture.
