Acts 26
1 Then Agrippa sayd vnto Paul, Thou art permitted to speake for thy selfe. So Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himselfe.
Agriphphi Phawuloosakko, “Neeni nebaa odanaw dandda7aasa” yaagis. He wode Phawuloosi ba kushiya denthidi hayssada yaagis:
2 I thinke my selfe happy, King Agrippa, because I shall answere this day before thee of all the things whereof I am accused of the Iewes.
“Kawaw, Agriphpha, Ayhudeti tana mootidabaas zaaro immanaw hachchi ne sinthan eqqashe ta qaaday lo77o gada qoppays.
3 Chiefly, because thou hast knowledge of all customes, and questions which are among the Iewes: wherefore I beseech thee, to heare me patiently.
Neeni Ayhude woganne palamaa loythada eriya gisho tana salettonna si7ana mela nena woossays.
4 As touching my life from my childhood, and what it was from the beginning among mine owne nation at Hierusalem, know all the Iewes,
“Taani na7atethafe doomada ta asaa giddoninne Yerusalaamen de7ida ta de7uwa Ayhude ubbay eroosona.
5 Which knewe me heretofore, euen from my elders (if they would testifie) that after the most straite sect of our religion I liued a Pharise.
Taani koyroppe doomada, nu ammano higgiya minthidi naagiya Farisaaweta yaraappe gideyssa entti markkattanaw koykko eroosona.
6 And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God vnto our fathers.
Ha77ika taani Xoossay nu aawatas immana gida ufayssaa naagiya gisho mootettada hayssan eqqas.
7 Whereunto our twelue tribes instantly seruing God day and night, hope to come: for the which hopes sake, O King Agrippa, I am accused of the Iewes.
Qassi tammanne nam77u nu aawata sheeshay Xoossaa qammanne gallas minthidi goynnishe Xoossay immana gidayssa ekkanaw ufayssan naagoosona. Kawaw Agriphpha, Ayhudeti tana mootey taani ufayssan hessa naagiya gishossa.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible vnto you, that God should raise againe the dead?
Ayhudetoo, Xoossay hayqqidayssata dentheyssa ays ammanekketii?
9 I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to doe many contrarie things against the Name of Iesus of Nazareth.
“Kase taani ta huu7enkka Naazirete Yesuusa sunthaa teqqanaw dandda7ettidaba ubbaa oothanaw bessees gada qoppas.
10 Which thing I also did in Hierusalem: for many of the Saints I shut vp in prison, hauing receiued authoritie of the hie Priests, and when they were put to death, I gaue my sentence.
Taani Yerusalaamen oothiday hayssa. Kahine halaqatappe maata ekkada Xoossaa asatappe darota qashisas. Entta wodhiya wodekka entta hayquwa dosas.
11 And I punished them throughout all the Synagogues, and compelled them to blaspheme, and being more mad against them, I persecuted them, euen vnto strange cities.
Daro wode Ayhude Woosa Keethaa ubban entti seerettana melanne Yesuusa cayidi kaddana mela un77ethas. Taani wogi baynna entta hanqettada hari attoshin, hara biitta katamata gakkanaw entta goodas.
12 At which time, euen as I went to Damascus with authoritie, and commission from the hie Priests,
“Taani ha odas kahine halaqatappe maatanne kiitaa ekkada Damasqqo bays.
13 At midday, O King, I sawe in the way a light from heauen, passing the brightnes of the sunne, shine round about mee, and them which went with me.
Kawaw, taani seeta gallas ogiyan de7ishin awa poo7oppe daro aadhdhiya poo7oy ta yuushuwaninne taara beyssata yuushuwan saloppe poo7is.
14 So when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voyce speaking vnto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kicke against pricks.
Nuuni ubbayka sa7an kunddida wode Ibraysxe doonan, ‘Saa7ola, Saa7ola, tana ays goodday? Neeni nena caddiya xam77a qakkiko nena qohasa’ yaagidi taw odishin si7as.
15 Then I sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And he sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.
“Taani, ‘Godaw, neeni oonee?’ yaagas. “Goday, ‘Taani, neeni gooddiya Yesuusa;
16 But rise and stand vp on thy feete: for I haue appeared vnto thee for this purpose, to appoint thee a minister and a witnesse, both of the things which thou hast seene, and of the things in the which I will appeare vnto thee,
shin dendda eqqa. Hachchi neeni tana be7idayssaninne sinthafe ta new bessanyssa haratas markkattana mela ta oosanchcho oothada nena shuumanaw new benttas.
17 Deliuering thee from this people, and from the Gentiles, vnto whom now I send thee,
Isra7eele asatappenne taani nena enttako kiittiya Ayhude gidonnayssatappe nena ashshana.
18 To open their eyes, that they may turne from darknes to light, and from the power of Satan vnto God, that they may receiue forgiuenes of sinnes, and inheritance among them, which are sanctified by fayth in me.
Neeni entta ayfiyaa dooyana, dhumappe poo7okko, Xalahe kusheppe Xoossako entta zaarana. Entti tanan ammanidi nagara atotethaa ekkana. Xoossay doorida asaa giddon bantta laata demmana’ yaagis.
19 Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient vnto the heauenly vision,
“Kawaw Agriphpha, hessa gisho, taw saloppe benttida qonccethas kiitettanayssa ixxabiikke.
20 But shewed first vnto them of Damascus, and at Hierusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Iudea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turne to God, and doe workes worthy amendment of life.
Shin taani koyrottada Damasqqon hessafe guye Yerusalaameninne Yihuda biitta ubban de7eyssatinne Ayhude gidonnayssati bantta nagaraappe Xoossaakko simmana melanne nagaraappe simuwa bessiya ooso oothana mela qaala odas.
21 For this cause the Iewes caught me in the Temple, and went about to kill me.
Hessa gisho, Ayhudeti tana Xoossa Keethan oykkidi wodhanaw koyidosona.
22 Neuertheles, I obteined helpe of God, and continue vnto this day, witnessing both to small and to great, saying none other things, then those which the Prophets and Moses did say should come,
Hachchi gakkanaw Xoossaa maadey taappe shaakettibeenna; yaaniya gisho, guuthaasinne gitaas markkattashe hayssan eqqas. Nabetinne Musey hanana gidi odidayssafe haraa issibaakka taani odidabay baawa.
23 To wit, that Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light vnto this people, and to the Gentiles.
Hessika, ‘Kiristtoosi waaye ekkanaw bessees; qassi hayqoppe koyro denddidi Ayhudetasinne Ayhude gidonnayssatas atotetha poo7o odanaw bessees’ gidayssa” yaagis.
24 And as he thus answered for himselfe, Festus said with a loude voyce, Paul, thou art besides thy selfe: much learning doeth make thee mad.
Phawuloosi hessa yaagidi zaarishin, Fisxoosi ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Phawloosaa, ne gooyadasa; ne daro timirttey nena gooshshas gathis” yaagis.
25 But he said, I am not mad, O noble Festus, but I speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.
Shin Phawuloosi, “Bonchcho Fisxoosaa, taani tumaabanne bessiyabaa odaysippe attin gooyabiikke.
26 For the King knoweth of these things, before whom also I speake boldly: for I am perswaded that none of these things are hidden from him: for this thing was not done in a corner.
Taani qonccen odiya odaa Kawoy erees. Ha oday geeman oosettiboonna gisho issoykka iyappe geemmonayssa taani geeshshada erays.
27 O King Agrippa, beleeuest thou the Prophets? I know that thou beleeuest.
“Kawaw Agriphpha, neeni nabeta ammanaasa gidikkii? Neeni ammaneyssa taani erays” yaagis.
28 Then Agrippa said vnto Paul, Almost thou perswadest me to become a Christian.
Kawoy Agriphphi, Phawuloosakko, “Ha guutha saaten tana ammanthanaw koyay?” yaagis.
29 Then Paul sayd, I would to God that not onely thou, but also all that heare me to day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
Phawuloosi, “Daro wode gidin guutha wode ne xalaala gidonnashin hachchi taana si7iya ubbay ha qashuwappe attin ta mela gidana mela Xoossaa woossays” yaagis.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the King rose vp, and the gouernour, and Bernice, and they that sate with them.
Hessafe guye, Kawoy Fisxoosi, Barnniiqeynne enttara uttida ubbayka denddidosona.
31 And when they were gone apart, they talked betweene themselues, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds.
Yaappe keyidi bishe issoy issuwara, “Ha uray hayqos woykko qashos gathiyabaa aykkoka oothibeenna” yaagidi odettidosona.
32 Then sayd Agrippa vnto Festus, This man might haue bene loosed, if hee had not appealed vnto Cesar.
Agriphphi Fisxoosakko, “Ha uray ‘Qeesarey tabaa pirddo’ goonnaako bilettanaw dandda7ees shin” yaagis.
