Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
He wode Saa7oli Godaa kaalleyssata wodhanaw manddidi kahine halaqaakko bis.
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any who were of this way of belief, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Godaa ogiya kaalliya addetanne maccata demmiko, qachchishe Yerusalaame ehanaw, Damasqqon de7iya Ayhude Woosa Keethatas dabddaabbiya baw xaafanaw iya woossis.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
I bidi, Damasqqo katamaa gakkanaw matishin, qopponna saloppe wolqqaama poo7oy iya yuushuwan poo7is.
4 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
I sa7an kunddidashin, “Saa7olaa, Saa7olaa, ays tana goodday?” giya qaala si7is.
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Saa7oli, “Godaw, neeni oonee?” yaagidi oychchis. “Taani, neeni gooddiya Yesuusa” yaagis.
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Shin Saa7oli kokkorishenne malaalettishe, “Godaw, taani ay oothana mela koyay?” yaagis. Goday iyaakko, “Denddada katamaa gela; neeni oothanaw bessiyabay yan new odettana” yaagis.
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Saa7olara ogiya biya asati aykkoka odettonna eqqi attidosona. Qaalaa si7oosona, shin oonakka be7ibookkona.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; but when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Saa7oli kunddida bessaafe denddidi xeelliya wode iya ayfey demmonna ixxis. Hessa gisho, entti iya kushiya oykkidi kaalethidi Damasqqo gelssidosona.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Heedzu gallas gakkanaw I xeellanaw dandda7ibeenna; aykkoka mibeenna; uyibeenna.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and to him the Lord said in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Damasqqon issi Hananiya giya Yesuusa tamaarey de7ees. Goday qonccethan, “Hananiya” yaagidi xeegis. Hananey zaaridi, “Ta Godaw, hayssan de7ays” yaagis.
11 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus; for lo! he prayeth,
Goday iyaakko, “Denddada Suure geetettiya ogiya bada, Yihuda son Saa7ola giya terseseppe yida uraa koya; Saa7oli woossees.
12 and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive sight.
Qassi Hananiya giya addey gelidi, Saa7oli nam77antho xeellana mela ba kushiya iya bolla wothishin qonccethan be7is” yaagis.
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how great evils he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
Hananey zaaridi, “Godaw, Yerusalaamen ne geeshsha asaa bolla he uray ay mela iitabaa oothidaakko taani daro asaappe si7as.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Qassi Damasqqon ne sunthaa xeegeyssata ubbaa qachchanaw, kahine halaqati iyaw maata immidosona” yaagis.
15 But the Lord said to him, Go; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the sons of Israel.
Shin Goday iyaakko, “Saa7oli Ayhude gidonna asaa sinthan, kawota sinthaninne Isra7eele asaa sinthan, ta sunthaa erisanawunne taw oothanaw doorettida miishe gidiya gisho neeni iyaakko ba.
16 For I myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Ays giikko, ta sunthaa gisho, I ay mela waaye ekkanaw bessiyako taani iya bessana” yaagis.
17 And Ananias went away, and entered the house; and putting his hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus who appeared to thee in the way thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayst receive sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Hananey bidi, soo gelidi, ba kushiya Saa7ola bolla wothidi, “Ta ishaa Saa7ola, neeni yaa ogiyan new benttida Yesuusi, neeni xeellana melanne Geeshsha Ayyaanan kumana mela Goday tana kiittis” yaagis.
18 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
Ellesidi, Saa7ola ayfiyaappe issi poqo melabay wodhdhin, Saa7oli nam77antho xeellis. Qassi denddidi xammaqettis.
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
Kathi midi xaalidi, Damasqqon de7iya ammaneyssatara guutha gallas gam77is.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Ellesidi Saa7oli, “Yesuusi Xoossaa Na7a” yaagidi Damasqqon de7iya Ayhude Woosa Keethatan qaala tamaarssis.
21 And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name? And he hath come hither for this purpose, that he may bring them bound to the chief priests.
Hessa si7ida ubbay malaalettidi, “Hayssi Yerusalaamen Yesuusa sunthaa xeegeyssata qachcheyssa gidenneyye? Qassi ha yiday entta qachchidi, kahine halaqata sinthe efanaassa gidennee?” yaagidosona.
22 But Saul gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Shin Saa7oli qaala odon minni minni bis. Yesuusi, I Kiristtoosa gideyssa qonccisidi odida gisho Damasqqon de7iya Ayhudeti iyaw zaariyaba dhayidosona.
23 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Daro gallasappe guye Ayhudeti shiiqidi, Saa7ola wodhanaw zorettidosona.
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
Shin Ayhudeti bana wodhanaw qoppidayssa Saa7oli si7is. Entti iya wodhanaw qammanne gallas katamaa penggiyan naagoosona.
25 But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Shin iya tamaareti iya qamma efidi, gimbbe dirssaa maskkotiyara daachchora wodhisidosona.
26 And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Saa7oli Yerusalaame gakkida wode ammaneyssatara gayttanaw koyis. Shin I Kiristtoosa ammanidayssi enttaw tuma daanonna ixxin iyaw yayyidosona.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and hew he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Shin Barnnabaasi Saa7ola hawaaretakko efis. Ogen Goday waanidi qonccidaakkonne haasayisidaakko, qassi Saa7oli Damasqqon Yesuusa sunthan yayyonna waattidi qaala odidaakko enttaw geeshshidi odis.
28 And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
Saa7oli Yerusalaamen yuuyidi Godaa sunthan yayyonna qaala odishe, hawaaretara issife de7is.
29 speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he often spoke and disputed with the Hellenists; but they were endeavoring to slay him.
Qassi Saa7oli Girike qaala haasayiya Ayhudetara odettishe palamees. Shin entti iya wodhanaw koyidosona.
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Ammaniya asati hessa si7idi, Saa7ola Qisaariya efidi Terseese yeddidosona.
31 The church therefore throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being built up, and walking in the fear of the Lord; and by the exhortation of the Holy Spirit it was greatly increased.
Yihudan, Galiilaninne Samaare ubban de7iya woosa keethati sarotethaan de7idosona. Qassi minnidosona; Godaas yayyishe Geeshsha Ayyaana minthethuwan dari dari bidosona.
32 And it came to pass, that as Peter went through the whole country, he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
Phexiroosi biitta ubbaa yuuyishe Liidan de7iya ammaniyaa asatakko gakkis.
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
Yan hosppun laythi kumethi gunddidi arssan zin77idi de7iya Eeniya giya addiya demmis.
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Phexiroosi, “Eeniya, Yesuus Kiristtoosi nena pathana; denddada ne hiixa dentha” yaagis. Ikka ellesidi denddi eqqis.
35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
Liidaninne Saaronan de7iya asay ubbay Eeniya be7idi, Godaakko simmidosona.
36 Now at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name being interpreted is the same as Dorcas, that is, Gazelle. This woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
Yoophe kataman issi Xaabito giya ammaniyaara de7awusu. (Xaabito guussay gen77e guussu) Iya ba de7ida wode ubban lo77obaa oothashenne manqota maaddashe de7asu.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
He wode iya harggada hayqqin, asay I ahaa meeccidi, pooqiya bolla kessidi zin77isidosona.
38 And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him two men with the entreaty, Do not delay to come to us.
Liidi Yoophes mata. Ammaneyssati Phexiroosi Liidan de7eyssa si7idi, “Hayyana nuukko ellessada ya” yaagiya kiitaa nam77u asata bolla iyaakko kiittidosona.
39 Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows came to him weeping, and showing the coats and cloaks which Dorcas made while she was with them.
Hessa gisho, Phexiroosi denddidi, enttara bis. Yaa gakkin, pooqiya bolla de7iya kifiliya iya gelssidosona. Am77eti Phexiroosa yuushuwan eqqidi yeekkishe Dorqqa enttara paxa de7ashe oothida qamisetanne afilata ubbaa Phexiroosa bessidosona.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.
Phexiroosi entta ubbaa kare kessidi, gulbbatidi Xoossaa woossis. Qassi ahaako simmidi, “Xaabite, dendda” yaagis. Xaabita ba ayfiyaa dooyada Phexiroosa be7ada, dendda uttasu.
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
Phexiroosi iyo ba kushiyan maaddidi denthi essis. Hessafe guye, ammaneyssatanne am77eta xeegidi, denddidaaro entta sinthe shiishis.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
Ha oday Yoophe katama ubbaa gakkis. Daro asay Godaa ammanidosona.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Phexiroosi Yoophen Simoona giya galbba haasheyssa son daro gallas gam77is.
