Acts 24
1 Five days later, Ananias the high priest came down to Caesarea with some of the elders, and with an orator, named Tertullus. They laid information before the governor 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 So Paul was sent for, and then Tertullus began to accuse him, saying. "As it is owing to your excellency that we enjoy profound peace, and that the state of this nation,
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 "owing to your wise care, has been improved in every respect and in every place, we accept it with profound thankfulness.
Yaa Feeliksi kabajamaa, nu waan kana karaa hundumaa fi iddoo hundatti galata guddaadhaan ni fudhanna.
4 "But not to weary you too much, I beg of your Excellency to listen to a few words from us.
Garuu ani akka hammana irra si hin dadhabsiifneef akka ati gabaabumatti gara laafinaan nu dhageessu sin kadhadha.
5 "For we have found this fellow a pest, an inciter of insurrection among all the Jews of the empire, and a ringleader in the heresy 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 "He even tried to profane the Temple, but we arrested him.
Inni mana qulqullummaa iyyuu xureessuu yaaleera; nu immoo akka seera keenyaatti itti muruuf jennee isa qabne. [
7 "Then the chief captain, Lysias came and violently took him from us.
Garuu Luusiyoos ajajaan kumaa sun dhufee humna guddaan harka keenya keessaa isa baase; akka himattoonni isaa fuula kee duratti dhiʼaatanis ni ajaje.]
8 From him you will be able, by examining Paul yourself, to learn the truth of all these charges we are bringing against him."
Ati mataan kee iyyuu isa qoruudhaan waaʼee waan nu isa himannu kanaa hunda beekuu ni dandeessa.”
9 The Jews also joined in the charge, maintaining that these were the facts.
Yihuudoonnis akka dubbiin kun dhugaa taʼe mirkaneessanii himata sana deeggaran.
10 Then at a nod from the governor, Paul spoke. "Because I know that for many years you have been a judge in this nation, I feel encouraged to make my defense.
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 "For you have it in your power to know that it is not more than twelve days ago that I went up to Jerusalem to worship;
Akkuma ati rakkoo malee mirkaneeffachuu dandeessu ani waaqeffachuuf jedhee Yerusaalemitti ol baʼuun koo guyyaa kudha lama hin caalu.
12 "and that neither in the Temple, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city, did they find me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowd.
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 can they prove the charges which they are now bringing against me.
Isaan waan amma ittiin na himachaa jiran kanas siif mirkaneessuu hin dandaʼan.
14 "But this I confess to you, that I worship the God of our ancestors, according to the Way which they call a heresy, believing everything that is according to the Law, or is written in 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 "and having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there is to be a resurrection both of the just and the unjust.
Anis akkuma jara kanaa akka duʼaa kaʼuun qajeeltotaatii fi hamootaa jiraatu Waaqa nan abdadha.
16 "Hence I too endeavor to have a conscience void of offense toward God and men alway.
Kanaafuu ani akka yeroo hunda Waaqaa fi nama duratti yaada qulqulluu qabaadhu nan tattaaffadha.
17 "Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and to offer sacrifices.
“Anis bara baayʼee hiyyeeyyii saba kootiitiif gargaarsa kennuuf, Waaqaafis aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf jedhee Yerusaalem dhufe.
18 "While I was thus engaged, they found me in the temple, purified, with no crowd and no uproar. But there were certain Asiatic Jews
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 "who ought to have been here before you, and to have made accusations 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 men themselves say what fault they found, when I appeared before the Sanhedrin!
Yookaan warri as jiran kunneen yakka yeroo ani fuula Waldaa Yihuudootaa dura dhaabadhe sana narratti argan haa himan;
21 "Unless it was for this one sentence which I uttered when I stood and cried, ‘It is for the resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial today before you.’"
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 At this point Felix, who had a pretty accurate knowledge of the Way, adjourned the case, saying to the Jews, "When Lysias the tribune comes down, I will go carefully into the matter."
Feeliksi garuu waan waaʼee Karaa sanaa sirriitti beekuuf, “Ani gaafa Liisiiyaas ajajaan kumaa sun dhufutti dubbii keessan nan murteessa” jedhee yeroo biraatti dabarse.
23 And he gave orders to the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, but treated with indulgence, and that his personal friends were not to be forbidden to minister 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 Some days later Felix came, with his wife Drusilla, a Jewess; he sent for Paul, and listened to him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
Feeliksis bultii muraasa booddee niitii isaa Diruusiilaa ishee Yihuudii turte wajjin dhufe; innis Phaawulosin waamsisee isaa waaʼee Kiristoos Yesuusitti amanuu dubbatu dhaggeeffate.
25 And as he reasoned about morality, self-control, and the future judgment, Felix was terrified, and said, "For the present go on your way, and when I find a convenient season, I will send 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 He was hoping that Paul would give him money, and for this reason he used to send for him often to converse with him.
Yeroodhuma sanattis inni akka waan Phaawulos mattaʼaa isaaf kennuutti waan abdachaa tureef ammuma amma waamsisee isa wajjin haasaʼaa ture.
27 But after two full years Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and because he wished to curry favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul still in prison.
Phoorqiyoos Fesxoos erga waggaan lama darbee booddee iddoo Feeliksi qabate; Feeliksis waan Yihuudoota gammachiisuu barbaadeef Phaawulosin manuma hidhaatti dhiise.
