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.
Ichchashu gallasappe guye kahine halaqay Hananey, cimataranne Xerxeluusa giya issi xabaqaara Qisaariya bis. Entti deriya ayseyssa bolla Phawuloosa mootidosona.
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,
Phawuloosi xeegettidi gelida wode, Xerxeluusi iya hayssada yaagidi mootis: “Bonchcho Filkkisa, nuuni ne baggara daro sarotethaa demmida, ne lo77o aysuwan nu biittay daro laamettis.
3 We accept [it] always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
Bonchcho Filkkisa, nuuni awunkka awude gidin daro galatan hessa 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.
Taani nena gam77isonnashin neeni ne keehatethan nubaa qanthan si7ana mela nena woossays.
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:
Ha uray dhube gididi biitta ubban de7iya Ayhudeta giddon buqethi medhdhidi Naaziraweta bagga asaa kaaletheyssa gidoyssa erida.
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
Hari attoshin, Xoossa Keetha tunisana hanishin nuuni iya oykkida; nu higgiyada iya bolla pirddanaw qoppida.
7 But the chief captain Lysias came [upon us], and with great violence took [him] away out of our hands,
Shin shaalaqaa Luusiyosi yidi, wolqqan nu kusheppe iya wothi ekkis.
8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
Iya mooteyssatikka neekko yaana mela kiittis. Neeni ne huu7en ha uraa filggada nuuni iya mootiya mootuwa ubbaa eranaw dandda7aasa” yaagis.
9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
Ayhudetikka, “Ha oday tuma” gidi iya qofaa ma77idosona.
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:
Deriya ayseyssi Phawuloosa oda gidi mallis. Phawuloosi hayssada gidi zaaris: “Neeni daro wodeppe doomada, ha asaas pirddashe de7eyssa erada ta odas ufayssan zaaro immays.
11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
Taani Yerusalaame goynnanaw keyin tammanne nam77u gallasappe aadhdhonnayssa neeni ne huu7en eranaw dandda7aasa.
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:
Ayhudeti tana Xoossaa Keethan gidin Ayhude Woosa Keethan gidin kataman gidin ooderakka palamishin woykko asa shiishada maqqishin issi asikka demmibeenna.
13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
Ha77ika entti tana mootiyabaas markka demmanaw dandda7okkona.
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:
“Shin taani hayssa issibaa ammanays; taani higgen de7iyabaanne nabeti xaafida ubbabaa ammanada, nu aawata Xoossaa, entti worddo giya ogiyan goynnays.
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.
Entti bantta huu7en ammaneyssa mela xillotinne nagaranchchoti hayqoppe denddanayssa takka ammanays.
16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and [toward] men.
Hessa gisho, taani Xoossaa sinthaninne asaa sinthan ubba wode lo77o kahi taw daana mela minnays.
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
“Taani Yerusalaameppe keyoosappe daro laythafe guye ta biittaa manqotas maade immanawunne yarshsho yarshshanaw Yerusalaame bas.
18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
Taani Xoossa Keethan hessa oothada geeshsha wogaa pola simmin tana demmidosona. He wode taara asi baawa, ooshshikka keyibeenna.
19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
Shin Iisiyappe yida issi issi Ayhudeti hessan de7oosona; entti ta bolla oda koykko yidi tana ne bolla mootanaw dandda7osona.
20 Or else let these same [here] say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
Woykko taani shangguwa sinthe shiiqida wode oothida bali de7ikko hayssati ne sinthan de7eyssati odonna.
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.
Taani entta giddon eqqada, ‘Hayqqidayssati denddana gada waassada odida gisho hachchi hintte sinthan ta bolla pirddoosona’ gas; hessafe harabaa oothabikke” yaagis.
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.
Shin Filkkisi Xoossaa ogiyabaa geeshshi erida gisho, “Taani hintte oda shaalaqaa Luusiyosi yaa wode pirddana” yaagidi moyzis.
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.
Filkkisi qassi Phawuloosa qachchonna naagana melanne iya dabbotappe oonikka iya oychchanaw yishin diggonna mela mato halaqaa kiittis.
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.
Guutha gallasappe guye, Filkkisi Ayhude bagga gidida ba machche Dirusillara yidi Phawuloosa kiitti ehisidi Yesuus Kiristtoosan ammanobaa iyappe si7is.
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.
Phawuloosi xillotethabaa, ba huu7e haariyabaanne yaanaw de7iya pirddabaa odishin, Filkkisi yayyidi, “Neeni ha77is ba; taw injjetida wode nena xeegisana” yaagis.
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.
He wode Phawuloosappe gubbo ekkanaw qoppidi iya zaari zaari xeegisidi iyara odettees.
27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
Nam77u laythafe guye, Filkkisa bessaa Phorqiyoos Fisxoosi ekkis. Filkkisi Ayhudeta ufayssanaw koyidi Phawuloosa billonna aggaa gis.
