< Acts 16 >

1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,
Phaawulos ittuma fufee gara Darbeenii fi Lisxiraanii dhaqe; barataan Xiimotewos jedhamu kan haati isaa Yihuudii amantuu taate tokkos achi ture; abbaan isaa garuu nama Giriik ture.
2 who was well testified to by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium;
Obboloonni Lisxiraanii fi Iqooniyoon keessa jiraatan waaʼee isaa waan gaarii dubbatan.
3 Paul wished this one to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father—that he was a Greek.
Phaawulos akka Xiimotewos isa faana deemu barbaade; kanaaf sababii Yihuudoota naannoo sana jiraataniitiif jedhee dhagna isa qabe; isaan hundinuu akka abbaan Xiimotewos nama Giriik taʼe beeku turaniitii.
4 And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,
Isaanis akkuma magaalaa tokkoo gara magaalaa kaaniitti darbaniin akka namoonni ajajamaniif jedhanii murtii ergamoonnii fi maanguddoonni Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan murteessan sana namootatti himan.
5 then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;
Kanaafuu waldoonni kiristaanaa amantiitti cimaa, baayʼinaanis guyyuma guyyaan itti dabalamaa deeman.
6 and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
Isaanis Hafuurri Qulqulluun akka isaan biyya Asiyaa keessatti dubbicha hin lallabne isaan dhowwinaan biyya Firiigiyaatii fi Galaatiyaa keessa darban.
7 having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not permit them,
Yommuu Miisiyaa gaʼanittis Biitaaniyaa seenuu yaalan; Hafuurri Yesuus garuu isaanii hin eeyyamne.
8 and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Kanaaf Miisiyaa keessa baʼanii Xirooʼaasitti gad buʼan.
9 And a vision through the night appeared to Paul—a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling on him, and saying, “Having passed through to Macedonia, help us.”
Phaawulosis halkan sana namicha Maqedooniyaa tokko isaa dhaabatee, “Maqedooniyaa kottuutii nu gargaari” jedhee isa kadhatu mulʼataan arge.
10 And when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavored to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the LORD has called us to preach good news to them,
Nus erga Phaawulos mulʼata sana argee booddee, Waaqni akka nu wangeela isaanitti lallabnuuf nu waamuu isaati jennee Maqedooniyaa dhaquuf qophoofnee kaane.
11 having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the next day also to Neapolis,
Xirooʼaasii dooniidhaan kaanee Saamotraaqeetti fuula deebifannee qajeelle; guyyaa itti aanu immoo Neʼaphoolisitti dabarre.
12 there also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were abiding in this city some days;
Achii kaanees Fiiliphisiyuus dhaqne; isheenis magaalaa beekamtuu aanaa Maqedooniyaa kan kolonii mootummaa Roomaa jala turtee dha; nus magaalattii keessa guyyaa muraasa turre.
13 on the day of the Sabbaths we also went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,
Guyyaa Sanbataa immoo magaalattii keessaa baanee gara lagaa iddoo akka lafa kadhannaa itti argannu abdanne tokkootti gad buune; teteenyees dubartoota achitti walitti qabamanitti dubbachuu jalqabne.
14 and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was hearing, whose heart the LORD opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul;
Warra nu dhaggeeffachaa turan keessaas dubartii Liidiyaa jedhamtu tokkotu ture; isheen daldaltuu wayyaa dhiilgee kan magaalaa Tiyaatiraatii dhuftee, Waaqas waaqeffattu turte. Gooftaan akka isheen waan Phaawulos dubbatu qalbeeffattuuf qalbii ishee baneef.
15 and when she was immersed, and her household, she called on us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the LORD, having entered into my house, remain”; and she constrained us.
Isheenis erga warra mana ishee jiraatan wajjin cuuphamtee booddee, “Yoo akka nama Gooftaatti amanu tokkootti na ilaaltan, kottaatii mana koo turaa” jettee nu waamte; jabeessitees nu kadhatte.
16 And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying;
Gaaf tokko utuu iddoo itti kadhatan dhaqnuu xomboree hafuura waa himsiisuun guutamte tokkoon walitti dhufne; isheen waa namaa himuun gooftota isheetiif maallaqa guddaa galchiti turte.
17 she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us [the] way of salvation!”
Isheenis, “Namoonni kunneen tajaajiltoota Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii kanneen karaa fayyinaa isinitti himanii dha” jettee iyyaa Phaawulosii fi nu duukaa buute.
18 And this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, “I command you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her”; and it came forth the same hour.
Waan kanas guyyaa hedduu itti fufte; Phaawulos garuu waan akka malee aareef itti garagalee hafuura sanaan, “Ani akka ati ishee keessaa baatu maqaa Yesuus Kiristoosiitiin sin ajaja” jedhe; hafuurichis yommusuma ishee keessaa baʼe.
19 And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] into the marketplace, to the rulers,
Gooftonni xomboree sanaas yommuu akka abdiin galii isaanii citte hubatanitti Phaawulosii fi Siilaasin qabanii fuula abbootii taayitaa duratti dhiʼeessuuf jedhanii lafa irra harkisaa iddoo gabaatti isaan geessan.
20 and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men being Jews exceedingly trouble our city;
Fuula qondaaltotaa durattis isaan dhiʼeessanii akkana jedhan; “Namoonni kunneen Yihuudoota; magaalaa keenyas jeequutti jiru.
21 and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.”
Isaanis duudhaa fudhachuun yookaan itti buluun nuu warra Roomaatiif hin eeyyamamne barsiisu.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,
Namoonnis tokkummaadhaan Phaawulosii fi Siilaasitti kaʼan; qondaaltonni sunis akka wayyaan isaan irraa baafamee uleedhaan tumaman ajajan.
23 having also laid on them many blows, they cast them into prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
Jarris erga akka malee garafamanii booddee mana hidhaatti darbataman; eegduun mana hidhaa sanaas akka jabeessee isaan eegu ajajame.
24 who having received such a charge, put them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Innis ajaja kana fudhatee gola mana hidhaa keessa isaan galche; miilla isaaniis jirma gidduu galchee hidhe.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,
Gara halkan walakkaatti Phaawulosii fi Siilaas kadhachaa, faarfannaadhaanis Waaqa galateeffachaa turan; hidhamtoonni kaanis isaan dhaggeeffachaa turan.
26 and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, also all the doors were immediately opened, and of all—the bands were loosed;
Akkuma tasaa sochiin lafaa cimaan tokko taʼe; kanaanis hundeen mana hidhaa sanaa raafame; yommusuma balballi hundinuu ni baname; foncaan nama hundaas ni hiikame.
27 and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled,
Eegduun mana hidhaa sunis yommuu dammaqee akka balballi mana hidhaa baname argetti waan hidhamtoonni baʼanii badan seʼee of ajjeesuuf goraadee isaa luqqifate.
28 and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “You may not do yourself any harm, for we are all here!”
Phaawulos garuu sagalee guddaadhaan iyyee, “Nu hundi asuma jirraatii of hin miidhin” jedheen.
29 And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and he fell down before Paul and Silas trembling,
Eegduun sunis ibsaa fichisiifatee fiigaa ol gale; sodaadhaanis hollachaa Phaawulosii fi Siilaas duratti kufe;
30 and having brought them forth, said, “Lords, what must I do that I may be saved?”
gad isaan baasees, “Yaa Gooftota ko, ani akka fayyuuf maal gochuun qaba?” jedhee gaafate.
31 And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
Isaanis deebisanii, “Gooftaa Yesuusitti amani; ati ni fayyitaa; warri mana kee jiraatanis ni fayyuutii” jedhan.
32 And they spoke to him the word of the LORD, and to all those in his household;
Dubbii Gooftaas isaa fi warra mana isaa jiraatan hundatti himan.
33 and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he bathed [them] from the blows, and immediately he and all of his were immersed,
Eegduun mana hidhaa sunis saʼaatuma halkanii sana isaan fuudhee madaa isaanii dhiqeef; yommusumas innii fi maatiin isaa hundinuu cuuphaman.
34 having also brought them into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
Eegduun sunis mana isaatti isaan geessee nyaata dhiʼeesseef; sababii maatiin isaa hundi gara Waaqa amanuutti dhufaniif warri mana isaa jiraatan hundi akka malee gammadan.
35 And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, “Let those men go”;
Yommuu bariʼetti qondaaltonni sun, “Namoota sana gad dhiisi” jedhanii eegduu mana hidhaa sanatti poolisii ergan.
36 and the jailor told these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent, that you may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace”;
Eegduun sunis, “Qondaaltonni akka isin hiikamtan ajajaniiru; kanaaf amma deemuu ni dandeessu; nagaan galaa” jedhee Phaawulositti hime.
37 and Paul said to them, “Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, being Romans—they cast [us] to prison, and now privately they cast us forth! Why no! But having come themselves, let them bring us forth.”
Phaawulos garuu poolisoota sanaan akkana jedhe; “Isaan utuma nu lammiiwwan Roomaa taanee jirruu, murtii tokko malee nu garafanii mana hidhaatti nu darbatan; amma immoo dhoksaan nu baasuu barbaaduu? Kun hin taʼu! Isaanumti mataan isaanii dhufanii nu haa baasanii!” jedhe.
38 And the rod-bearers told these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,
Poolisoonnis dubbii kana qondaaltotatti himan; qondaaltonnis yommuu akka Phaawulosii fi Siilaas lammiiwwan Roomaa taʼan dhagaʼanitti ni rifatan.
39 and having come, they implored them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;
Isaanis dhufanii dhiifama isaan gaafatan; mana hidhaatii isaan baasanii akka isaan magaalattii keessaa baʼanii deemaniif isaan kadhatan.
40 and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brothers, they comforted them, and went forth.
Phaawulosii fi Siilaas mana hidhaatii baʼanii mana Liidiyaa dhaqan; isaanis yommuu obboloota arganitti isaan jajjabeessan; achiis baʼanii deeman.
