Acts 24
1 And after five days the chief priest Ananias came down, with the elders, and a certain orator—Tertullus, and they disclosed to the governor [the things] against Paul;
Guyyaa shan booddee Anaaniyaas lubni ol aanaan maanguddoota tokko tokkoo fi abukaattoo Xerxuloos jedhamu tokko wajjin Qiisaariyaatti gad buʼe; isaanis waan ittiin Phaawulosin himatan bulchaa duratti dhiʼeeffatan.
2 and he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, “Enjoying much peace through you, and worthy deeds being done to this nation through your forethought,
Yommuu Phaawulos waamamee ol galetti, Xerxuloos akkana jedhee himata isaa Feeliksi duratti dhiʼeeffate; “Yaa Feeliksi kabajamaa, nu bara kee keessa yeroo dheeraa nagaan jiraanneera; ogummaan kees saba kanaaf geeddarama fideera.
3 always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness;
Yaa Feeliksi kabajamaa, nu waan kana karaa hundumaa fi iddoo hundatti galata guddaadhaan ni fudhanna.
4 and that I may not be further tedious to you, I exhort you to hear us concisely in your gentleness;
Garuu ani akka hammana irra si hin dadhabsiifneef akka ati gabaabumatti gara laafinaan nu dhageessu sin kadhadha.
5 for having found this man a pestilence, and moving a dissension to all the Jews through the world—also a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes—
“Nu akka namichi kun dhukkuba hamaa taʼee Yihuudoota addunyaa guutuu irra jiran hunda keessatti goolii kaasaa jiru argineerra. Inni hoogganaa garee Naazirootaa ti.
6 who also tried to profane the temple, whom we also took, [[and wished to judge according to our law,
Inni mana qulqullummaa iyyuu xureessuu yaaleera; nu immoo akka seera keenyaatti itti muruuf jennee isa qabne. [
7 and Lysias the chief captain having come near, took away out of our hands with much violence,
Garuu Luusiyoos ajajaan kumaa sun dhufee humna guddaan harka keenya keessaa isa baase; akka himattoonni isaa fuula kee duratti dhiʼaatanis ni ajaje.]
8 having commanded his accusers to come to you, ]] from whom you may be able, yourself having examined, to know concerning all these things of which we accuse him”;
Ati mataan kee iyyuu isa qoruudhaan waaʼee waan nu isa himannu kanaa hunda beekuu ni dandeessa.”
9 and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.
Yihuudoonnis akka dubbiin kun dhugaa taʼe mirkaneessanii himata sana deeggaran.
10 And Paul—the governor having beckoned to him to speak—answered, “Knowing [that] for many years you have been a judge to this nation, I answer more cheerfully the things concerning myself;
Phaawulosis yommuu bulchaan sun akka inni dubbatuuf harkaan mallattoo kenneefitti akkana jedhee deebii kenne; “Ani waan akka ati waggoota hedduuf abbaa murtii saba kanaa taate beekuuf falmii koo gammachuudhaan nan dhiʼeeffadha.
11 you being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,
Akkuma ati rakkoo malee mirkaneeffachuu dandeessu ani waaqeffachuuf jedhee Yerusaalemitti ol baʼuun koo guyyaa kudha lama hin caalu.
12 and neither did they find me reasoning with anyone in the temple, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;
Warri na himatan kun anaa mana qulqullummaa keessatti yookaan manneen sagadaa keessatti yookaan magaalaa keessatti nama tokkoon illee falmu yookaan uummata kakaasu na hin arganne.
13 nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.
Isaan waan amma ittiin na himachaa jiran kanas siif mirkaneessuu hin dandaʼan.
14 And I confess this to you, that, according to The Way that they call a sect, so I serve the God of the fathers, believing all things that have been written in the Law and the Prophets,
Taʼus ani akka nama karaa isaan garee mormitootaa jedhaniin sana duukaa buʼu tokkootti akka Waaqa abbootii keenyaa waaqeffadhu fuula kee duratti nan amana. Waan seera Museetiin walii galuu fi waan kitaabota raajotaa keessatti barreeffame hundas nan amana.
15 having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, [that] there is about to be a resurrection of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous;
Anis akkuma jara kanaa akka duʼaa kaʼuun qajeeltotaatii fi hamootaa jiraatu Waaqa nan abdadha.
16 and in this I exercise myself, to always have a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
Kanaafuu ani akka yeroo hunda Waaqaa fi nama duratti yaada qulqulluu qabaadhu nan tattaaffadha.
17 And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings,
“Anis bara baayʼee hiyyeeyyii saba kootiitiif gargaarsa kennuuf, Waaqaafis aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf jedhee Yerusaalem dhufe.
18 in which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,
Yeroo ani waan kana hojjechaa turettis isaan anaa qulqullaaʼee jiru mana qulqullummaa keessatti na argan. Tuunni tokko iyyuu na bira hin turre; anis goolii keessatti hin hirmaanne.
19 whom it is necessary to be present before you, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,
Garuu Yihuudoonni biyya Asiyaa kanneen yoo waan ittiin na himatan tokko illee narraa qabaatan si duratti as dhiʼaatanii na himachuu malan tokko tokko jiru.
20 or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the Sanhedrin,
Yookaan warri as jiran kunneen yakka yeroo ani fuula Waldaa Yihuudootaa dura dhaabadhe sana narratti argan haa himan;
21 except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them—Concerning a resurrection of the dead I am judged by you today.”
waan ani yeroo fuula isaanii dura dhaabadhe sana iyyee, ‘Ani harʼa waaʼee duʼaa kaʼuu warra duʼanii irratti qoramuuf jedhee fuula keessan dura dhaabadheera’ jedhe tokkicha sana malee yoo jiraate haa himan.”
22 And having heard these things, Felix delayed them—having known more exactly of the things concerning The Way—saying, “When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will know fully the things concerning you”;
Feeliksi garuu waan waaʼee Karaa sanaa sirriitti beekuuf, “Ani gaafa Liisiiyaas ajajaan kumaa sun dhufutti dubbii keessan nan murteessa” jedhee yeroo biraatti dabarse.
23 having also given a direction to the centurion to keep Paul, to let [him] also have liberty, and to forbid none of his own friends to minister or to come near to him.
Innis akka ajajaan dhibbaa sun Phaawulosin eegumsa jala tursu, garuu akka haala isaa itti furuu fi akka michoonni isaas waan isa barbaachisu kam iyyuu isaaf dhiʼeessan eeyyamuuf ajaje.
24 And after certain days, Felix having come with his wife Drusilla, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning faith toward Christ,
Feeliksis bultii muraasa booddee niitii isaa Diruusiilaa ishee Yihuudii turte wajjin dhufe; innis Phaawulosin waamsisee isaa waaʼee Kiristoos Yesuusitti amanuu dubbatu dhaggeeffate.
25 and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, “For the present be going, and having time, I will call for you”;
Yommuu Phaawulos waaʼee qajeelummaa, waaʼee of qabuutii fi waaʼee murtii kan dhufuuf jiru sanaa dubbatetti Feeliksi sodaatee, “Ammaaf ni gaʼaatii deemi! Yommuu naa mijaaʼutti anuu sin waamsisaatii” jedhe.
26 and at the same time also hoping that money will be given to him by Paul, that he may release him, therefore, also sending for him often, he was conversing with him;
Yeroodhuma sanattis inni akka waan Phaawulos mattaʼaa isaaf kennuutti waan abdachaa tureef ammuma amma waamsisee isa wajjin haasaʼaa ture.
27 and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favor on the Jews, left Paul bound.
Phoorqiyoos Fesxoos erga waggaan lama darbee booddee iddoo Feeliksi qabate; Feeliksis waan Yihuudoota gammachiisuu barbaadeef Phaawulosin manuma hidhaatti dhiise.
