Acts 24
1 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and [with] a certain orator [named] Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
Ichchachchu gaallassape guye qeessista hallqa hananiyay issi issi ciimatarane xerixxulossa geetettiza xabaqara qisariya bides; Isttikka dere ayssiza Filkkiseko shiiqidi Phawulossa mootida.
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
Phawulossay xeeygetti shiiqin Xerixxulossay iza hizzgi mootides “boncho Filkkise! nu ne baggara daroo sarooteth demmidos; ne loo7o aysonkka nu deres loo7etethth beettides.
3 We accept [it] always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
Hessa ne loo7o oosoza nu awankka gidin aydekka gidin dhoqqu gida bonchorane galatara ekkoos.
4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
Ta ha7i nena gam7isontanne nena daburissontta qanththara nees yootizayssa keyateththan ne nu giza siyana mala wossos.
5 For we have found this man [a] pestilent [fellow], and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
Hayssi addezi nus iita hariige gididees; alamen diza Ayhudata wursio bolla meto medhdhes, nazirawe geettetiza wordo asata wanna kaallethizadey izakko.
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
Izi xoossa keeth tuunissana gishin nu iza oykkidos; nu woga mala nu iza bolla firdana qohaaththaidos.
7 But the chief captain Lysias came [upon us], and with great violence took [him] away out of our hands,
Gido attin olla asa halaqata azazizayssi Lusiyossay gakkidi nu kushshepe iza wollqqara woththi ekkides.
8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
Iza mootiza asaykka neekko yana mala azazides. Hayssi nu iza bolla shishshida mootozi wuri tummu gididayssa ne ne baggara iza oyychcha erranas dandda7asa.”
9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
Hinkko Ayhuda asatikka “ee hayssi yoozi wurkka tummukko” giidi ammanettida.
10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
Deere ayssiza filkkisey Phawulossay hasa7ana mala ba kushera malatti beesides; Phawulossaykka hizzgides “Ne daroo wodessoppe hayssa dereza ayssizade gididayssa ta erriza gish ta bolla shiiqida mootozas ta nes uhaaththaayssan malthe shishshayss.
11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
Ta xoossas gooynnanas Yerusalame biin hachchi tammane namm7u gaallassape daroonttayssa ne ne baggara errana dandda7asa.
12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
Xoossa keeththan gidin Ayhudata wossa keeththan woykko kaatama garssan ta oonnarakka palammettishin woykko dere gidoon meto medhdhishin tanna demmibeytenna.
13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
Ha7i ta bolla istti shishshida mootozas ay markkaka shishshanas dandd7ettena.
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
Gido attin ta nes qonccisana koyzay istti wordo giza Goda ogera nu aawantta Xoossas gooynayssine Musse wogane nabeta maxxahaaththaan xahaaththaetidayssaka wursia ammanayss.
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
Isttikka uhaaththaayssi ooththiza mala takka nagaranchatine xiilloti hayqqope denddanayssa Xoossan ammanetays.
16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and [toward] men.
Hessa gish Xoossa sinththanine asa sinththan sidhdhey bayndda hanoy tas daana mala wursio wode minnays.
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
Ta Yerussalamepe kezin tas daroo layth gididappe guye ta dere asas maado mishshene Xoossas immetiza mishshe ekka yadis.
18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
Tana istti xoossa keeththan demmiday ta hessa gaththishinkko; He wode ta geeyza woga pollishin tanara daroo asine deenna, oshshine shiroykka deenna.
19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
Gido attin Isyyape yida issi issi Ayhuda asati dettes; isttaskka tana mootos gaaththizaz diza gidikko ne sinththan tana mooteto.
20 Or else let these same [here] say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
Hessafe guye ta duulata sinthth shiiqikko ta ooththida qohooy diikko he asati yooteto.
21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
Tana hayssas gaaththida gasooy ta istta gidoon eqqada (hayqqidaytas denththi dees ga yootida gish hachchi pirdas inte sinthth shiiqadis) ta gaada qaala dhoqu histta yootadis attin hara ta oththida miishshi deena.”
22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of [that] way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
Filkisey Goda oge loo7ethi erriza gish “ola asata halaqata azazizayssa Lusyyossay yiza wode ta inte yooza gish qachcho gidiza yoo immana” giidi istta yeeddides.
23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let [him] have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
Phawulossa naggiza xeetu olla asa hallaqay “iza daroo wayisontta loo7etha nagga; iza laggeeti izas koshshiza miishshi ekki yiikko diggofa” gides.
24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
Guuththa wodepe kaallidi Ayhuda ass gidida ba machchiyo Dirusilara yides; phawulossaka xeeyigidi Yesuss Kiristossan ammano gish izi yootishin siyides.
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
Phawulossay xiillotetha gishine asi berkka bena haaro gishene burope yaana pirda gish yootin Filikisey babbidi “Ha7i ne ba; hara wode tas gigishin ta nena xeeyga ekkana” gides.
26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
Filikisey Phawulossape gubbo ekkanas uhaaththaayssi ooththi naggida gish daroo wode gakkanaas xeeyigi xeeyigi hasa7isides.
27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
Namm7u laythafe guye Phorqiyosa Fisxxosay Filikise ollan shuumetides; Filikisey Ayhudista uhaaththaayssanas koyidi Phawulossa qachchosoon aggagides.
