Acts 8
1 And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution on the Assembly in Jerusalem, all were also scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
Saaʼolis ajjeefamuu Isxifaanos irratti namootaan walii galee ture. Guyyuma sana waldaa Kiristaanaa ishee Yerusaalem jirtutti ariʼatamni guddaan kaʼe; ergamoota malee warri kaan hundinuu biyya Yihuudaatii fi Samaariyaa hunda keessa bibittinnaaʼan.
2 and devout men carried Stephen away, and made great lamentation over him;
Namoonni Waaqa sodaatanis Isxifaanosin awwaalan; booʼicha guddaas booʼaniif.
3 and Saul was making havoc of the Assembly, entering into every house, and dragging away men and women, giving them up to prison;
Saaʼol garuu waldaa kiristaanaa balleessuu jalqabe; innis mana tokko irraa gara mana biraa dhaqee dhiiraa fi dubartii lafa irra harkisee mana hidhaatti galchaa ture.
4 they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news—the word.
Warri bittinnaaʼan sun lafa dhaqan hundatti dubbii sana lallaban.
5 And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching the Christ to them;
Fiiliphoosis gara magaalaa Samaariyaa tokkootti gad buʼee achitti Kiristoos lallabe.
6 the multitudes were also giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
Namoonni sunis yommuu waan Fiiliphoos dubbatu dhagaʼanii dinqii inni hojjetu arganitti hundi isaanii qalbeeffatanii isa dhagaʼan.
7 for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
Hafuurri xuraaʼaanis sagalee guddaan iyyee nama hedduu keessaa baʼe; warri laamshaʼanii fi warri naafatan baayʼeenis ni fayyan.
8 and there was great joy in that city.
Kanaafis gammachuu guddaatu magaalaa sana keessatti taʼe.
9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was previously in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
Garuu yeroo sanaan dura namichi Simoon jedhamu tokko magaalaa sana keessatti falfala hojjetee namoota Samaariyaa hunda dinqisiisaa ture; innis akka waan nama guddaa taʼeetti of hedaa ture.
10 to whom they were all giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one is the great power of God”;
Namoonni hundinuu xinnaa guddaan qalbii isaanii gara isaatti deebifatanii, “Namichi kun humna Waaqaa isa ‘humna guddaa’ jedhamu sanaa dha” jedhanii isa saadan.
11 and they were giving heed to him, because of his having amazed them for a long time with deeds of magic.
Namoonni sunis sababii inni yeroo dheeraa falfala isaatiin isaan dinqisiiseef qalbii isaanii gara isaatti deebifatan.
12 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed—both men and women;
Garuu yommuu Fiiliphoos wangeela waaʼee mootummaa Waaqaatii fi maqaa Yesuus Kiristoos lallabetti amananii dhiiraa dubartiin cuuphaman.
13 and Simon himself also believed, and having been immersed, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
Simoon mataan isaa iyyuu amanee cuuphame. Innis mallattoo fi dinqii arge sana dinqifachaa Fiiliphoos wajjin deeme.
14 And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent Peter and John to them,
Ergamoonni Yerusaalem turan akka warri Samaariyaa dubbii Waaqaa fudhatan dhagaʼanii Phexrosii fi Yohannisin isaanitti ergan.
15 who having come down prayed concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit—
Ergamoonni sunis yommuu achi gaʼanitti akka isaan Hafuura Qulqulluu argataniif ni kadhataniif;
16 for as yet He was fallen on none of them, and only they have been immersed—into the Name of the Lord Jesus;
Hafuuri Qulqulluun isaan keessaa nama tokko irra illee hin buune tureetii; isaan maqaa Gooftaa Yesuus qofaan cuuphamanii turan.
17 then they were laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Phexrosii fi Yohannis harka isaanii jara sana irra kakaaʼan; isaanis Hafuura Qulqulluu argatan.
18 And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit is given, brought money before them,
Simoon falfaltichis akka yeroo ergamoonni harka isaanii nama irra kaaʼan Hafuurri Qulqulluun namaa kennamu arginaan ergamootaaf horii kennee,
19 saying, “Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.”
“Akka namni ani harka irra kaaʼu hundi Hafuura Qulqulluu argatuuf dandeettii kana anaaf illee kennaa” jedheen.
20 And Peter said to him, “Your silver with you—may it be to destruction! Because you thought to possess the gift of God through money;
Phexros garuu akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Sababii ati kennaa Waaqaa waan horiin bitachuu dandeessu seeteef horiin kee suma wajjin haa badu!
21 you have neither part nor lot in this thing, for your heart is not right before God;
Garaan kee fuula Waaqaa duratti waan qajeelaa hin taʼiniif ati tajaajila kana keessatti qooda yookaan carraa hin qabdu.
22 convert, therefore, from this your wickedness, and implore God, if then the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you,
Kanaaf hammina kee kana irraa deebiʼiitii gooftaa kadhadhu; inni yaada garaa keetii kana siif dhiisa taʼaatii.
23 for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive you being.”
Ani akka ati yaada hadhaaʼaan guutamtee fi akka ati garbicha cubbuu taate nan arga.”
24 And Simon answering, said, “Implore for me to the LORD, that nothing may come on me of the things you have spoken.”
Simoonis, “Akka wanni isin jettan kun tokko iyyuu narra hin geenyeef Gooftaa naa kadhadhaa” jedhee deebise.
25 They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the LORD, turned back to Jerusalem; they also proclaimed good news in many villages of the Samaritans.
Phexrosii fi Yohannis erga dhugaa baʼanii dubbii Gooftaas labsanii booddee gandoota Samaariyaa hedduu keessatti wangeela lallabaa Yerusaalemitti deebiʼan.
26 And a messenger of the LORD spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is desolate.)
Ergamaan Gooftaa tokko Fiiliphoosiin, “Kaʼiitii karaa Kibbaatiin gara daandii Yerusaalemii baʼee Gaazaatti gad buʼu sanaa dhaqi” jedhe; daandiin sunis daandii gammoojjii ti.
27 And having arisen, he went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;
Innis kaʼee deeme; karaa isaa irrattis xuʼaashii Itoophiyaa tokko jechuunis qondaalticha Kandakee mootittii saba Itoophiyaa kan qabeenya ishee hunda irratti itti gaafatamaa taʼe arge; qondaalli sun sagaduuf jedhee Yerusaalem dhaqee ture.
28 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Innis yeroo biyya isaatti deebiʼu gaarii isaa irra taaʼee kitaaba Isaayyaas raajichaa dubbifachaa ture.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and be joined to this chariot”;
Hafuurri Qulqulluunis Fiiliphoosiin, “Dhaqiitii gaarii sanatti dhiʼaadhu” jedhe.
30 and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you then know what you read?”
Fiiliphoosis gaarii sanatti fiigee utuu namichi sun kitaaba Isaayyaas raajichaa dubbifatuu dhagaʼee, “Ati waan dubbiftu kana ni hubattaa?” jedhee gaafate.
31 And he said, “Why, how am I able, if someone may not guide me?” He called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
Namichis, “Yoo namni naa hin ibsin ani akkamiin hubachuu dandaʼa?” jedhe. Innis akka Fiiliphoos ol baʼee isa bira taaʼuuf waammate.
32 And the passage of the Writing that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, And as a lamb before his shearer is silent, So He does not open His mouth;
Kutaan kitaabaa kan xuʼaashiin sun dubbisaa ture isa kana: “Inni akkuma hoolaa iddoo qalmaatti geeffamee, yookaan akkuma ilmoo hoolaa kan fuula nama rifeensa irraa murmuruu duratti calʼisuu akkasuma afaan isaa hin saaqqanne.
33 In His humiliation His judgment was taken away, And His generation—who will declare? Because His life is taken from the earth.”
Inni cunqurfamuu isaatiin murtii qajeelaa dhowwatame; eenyutu waaʼee sanyii isaa dubbachuu dandaʼa? Jireenyi isaa lafa irraa fudhatameeraatii.”
34 And the eunuch answering Philip said, “I beg you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself, or about some other one?”
Xuʼaashiin sunis Fiiliphoosiin, “Raajiin sun waaʼee eenyuu dubbata? Waaʼee mataa isaa moo waaʼee nama biraa ti? Maaloo mee natti himi!” jedhee gaafate.
35 And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him—Jesus.
Fiiliphoosis kutaadhuma kitaabaa sanaan afaan saaqatee oduu gaarii waaʼee Yesuus isatti hime.
36 And as they were going on the way, they came on some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, water; what hinders me to be immersed?”
Isaanis utuu karaa deemanuu bishaanitti baʼan; xuʼaashiin sunis, “Kunoo bishaan as jira; yoos maaltu cuuphamuu na dhowwa ree?” jedheen. [
37 [[And Philip said, “If you believe out of all the heart, it is lawful”; and he answering said, “I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God”; ]]
Fiiliphoosis, “Ati yoo garaa kee guutuun amante cuuphamuu ni dandeessa” jedheen. Namichis deebisee, “Akka Yesuus Kiristoos ilma Waaqaa taʼe ani nan amana” jedhe.]
38 and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him;
Innis akka gaariin sun dhaabatu ajaje; isaan lamaanuu dhaqanii bishaan seenan; Fiiliphoosis isa cuuphe.
39 and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the LORD snatched up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
Yommuu isaan bishaan keessaa baʼanittis Hafuurri Gooftaa Fiiliphoosin fudhate; xuʼaashiin sunis ergasii isa hin argine; garuu gammadaa karaa isaa itti fufe.
40 and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, until his coming to Caesarea.
Fiiliphoos immoo Azooxoonitti argame; innis hamma Qiisaariyaa gaʼutti magaalaawwan hunda keessatti wangeela lallabaa darbe.
