Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the church which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
Sawuleyka isixxipanose hayqon isttara qofan gagidees. He wode Yerusalamen diza ammanizayta bolla gitta goodetethi denddides. Kittetidayti atta ammanizayti wuri yuda awurajjanine saamariya awurajjan wursion lalletida.
2 Devout men buried Stephen, and lamented greatly over him.
Ayana ooson miinni eqqida asati Isixxifanose moggidi, izas daroo yeekkida.
3 But Saul ravaged the church, entering into every house, and dragged both men and women off to prison.
Sawuley qasse wossa keeththa dhayssanas giixxi denddides. Ammaniza asa issa issa keethi gellidi maccatane addista goochi goochi keesiddi qasho keeththan yeegides.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around proclaiming the word.
Laalletidayti wuri ba bidason bidason Xoossa qaala yootida.
5 And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Messiah.
Pilphphossaykka Sammariya geetettiza kaatama wodhdhidi asas kiristtossa sabakkides.
6 The crowds listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
Daro derey Pilphphossay ooththiza malata beeydi izzi yootiza qaala wozinappe lo7ethi siyides.
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
Tuuna ayannatikka daroo asappe wassi wassi kezzida. daro too siillattine wobeetiikka paxxida.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Hessa gish he kaatamma asay daroo uhaaththaa7etides.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city, and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
Gido attin hessafe kase he kaattamayin maro marotiidi Sammariya asa daroo malalisizaz ooththiza issi Simmona giza maroy dees. Izikka bena giita asa mala qoodizade.
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that power of God which is called Great."
Assay wuri guuthatappe gitata gakkanaas wurikka “haysi addezi gitta wolqama geetettiza Xoossa wolqako” gishe izi giza wursi wozinape siyees.
11 They listened to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Daroo wode ba marrotetha ooson asa malalisida gish asay iza wozinappe kaalishe gam7ides.
12 But when they believed Philip as he preached good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus (the) Messiah, they were baptized, both men and women.
Gido attin Pilphphossay Xoossa kawootetha gishine Yesuss kiristtossa gish sabbakkiidayssa siyidi ammanniida maccashayne atummassay xammaqetides.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
Simmonaykka ammaniid xammaqetides. Pilphphossakka kaalli bidi haniza giita mallata beeyidi malaletides.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
Yerusalamen diza kitetidayti, Sammariya asay Xoossa qaala ekkidi amanidayssa siydi Phixxirossane Yanissa isttakko kittida.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Isttikka Sammariya gakkidi ammanida asay Xiillo Ayana ekkana mala asas woossida.
16 for he had not yet fallen upon any of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Gasoykka he wode istti coo Yesussa sunththan xamaqetida attin buroo Xiillo Ayanay isttafe issade bollakka woodhdhibeyna.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Hessa gish Phixxirossayne Yanissay ba kushshe asa bolla woththin asay Xiillo Ayana ekkides.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,
Simonaykka kitetidayti kushshe woththi wossin Xiillo Ayanay imeetizayssa beeydi Phixxirossasine Yanissas miishshe eekki yiddi
19 saying, "Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit."
“Ta iza bolla ta kushshe woththizadey wuri xiillo ayana ekkana mala hayssa mala godateeth taskka immite” giin,
20 But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money.
Phixxirossay izas zaaridi “Xoossa immotethi ne mishshan shammana qoppiida gish neni ne mishshara isfe dhaya.
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.
Ne wozinay Xoossa sinththan suure gidontta gish nes hayssa ha oosozan gishay woykko eexxa deena.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask the Lord if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Hayssa ne iitatetha gish ha7i elle marotethan gella, nes Goda wossa, hayssa ne wozina qoohaaththaa nes atto ganakone oone errizay.
23 For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity."
Gasoykka neni iitatethan kummidaysane makal77an qachchista uttidaysi taas bettees” gides.
24 Simon answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me."
Simmonaykka zaaridi “Inte gida yootappe aykoykka ta bolla gakontta mala tas Goda wossiti” gides.
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
Phixxirossayne Yanissay Goda qaala markkatidayssafene qonccisi yootidayssafe guye daroo Sammariya manddarattan mishshiracho sabbakishe Yerusalame simmida.
26 But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert."
Goda kitanchay pilphphoossa “dendda! Yerussalameppe duge baggara gede Gaaza ehaaththaiiza baazo oggara ba” gides.
27 And he arose and went. And look, there was a man from Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Kandake, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge over all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship,
Izikka denddi bides. Hinddako geetettiza Tophiya kawooya ba keeththanine ba kawootethan diza wurso mishsha bolla allafetethan woththida issi Tophiya gunddula assi izara gaggides. He addezi Xoossas goynana Yerusalame bides.
28 and he was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Izi heppe simmishe paara gaaren uttidi nabe Issayasa maaxxafa nababes.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go and join up with that chariot."
Ayanay pilphphoossa “Ba sekki paara gaarezakko shiiqa” gides.
30 And running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
Pilphphoossaykka eesotidi paara garezako biiddi adezi nabe Isayasa maaxxahaaththaa nababishin siyidi “Hessi ne nababizayssi nes gellizee?” gides.
31 He said, "How can I, unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
Addezika tana erisiza urray bayndda ta wostta ero?” gides, Izikka gede iza gaarezan gellidi iza achchan uttana mala wossides.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.
Izi nababiiza maaxxahaaththaay “Izi dorssa mala shukeistana laagetides, dorssa laaqqay iththike qanxxizade sinththan co7u giza mala hessathokka izi ba duuna poggibeyna.
33 In his humiliation his justice was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth."
Bena kawushidi pirday bayndadde gidides. Iza shemppoya biitta bollafe diggista gish, iza yelletitha gish hasa7ana danddaizay oonne?” gees.
34 The eunuch answered Philip, "Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?"
Addezika zaaridi pilphphoossa “Nabezi hayssa oonna gish gize? Be gish gizeye woykko hara urra gish gizee? Hayana tas yootarkkii!” gides.
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus.
Pilphphosaykka ba duna doyydi he maaxxaahaaththaappe oykkidi Yesussa mishiracho qaala gish markkatides.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?"
Istti isfe bishe haaththi dizaso gakkida. Addezika “Heko haththi hayssan dees, Histtin ta xammaqetontta mala digizay aaze? gides
37 And he said to him, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus (the) Messiah is the Son of God."
Pilphphoossaykka ne kummetha wozanappe ammanikko xammaqistana dandda7asa giides. Addezika “Yesus Kiristtossay Xoossa na gididayssa amanays” gides.
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
Adezi paara gaarezi eqqana mala azazin namm7ay isfe haathan woodhdhin Pilphphoossay addeza xammaqides.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Istt haathafe kezishin Xoossa Ayanay Pilphphoossa denththi ehaaththaides. Addez hessafe guye iza beeybeyna. Gido attin uhaaththaaysan ba ogge bides.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
Hessafe guye Pilphphoossay Azaxxone gizason betides. Qisaariya gizaso gakkanaas izi biza ogge bolla kaataman wurson mishshiracho qaala sabbakides.
