< Acts 16 >

1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess which believed; but his father was a Greek.
Phaawulos ittuma fufee gara Darbeenii fi Lisxiraanii dhaqe; barataan Xiimotewos jedhamu kan haati isaa Yihuudii amantuu taate tokkos achi ture; abbaan isaa garuu nama Giriik ture.
2 The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Obboloonni Lisxiraanii fi Iqooniyoon keessa jiraatan waaʼee isaa waan gaarii dubbatan.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Phaawulos akka Xiimotewos isa faana deemu barbaade; kanaaf sababii Yihuudoota naannoo sana jiraataniitiif jedhee dhagna isa qabe; isaan hundinuu akka abbaan Xiimotewos nama Giriik taʼe beeku turaniitii.
4 And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
Isaanis akkuma magaalaa tokkoo gara magaalaa kaaniitti darbaniin akka namoonni ajajamaniif jedhanii murtii ergamoonnii fi maanguddoonni Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan murteessan sana namootatti himan.
5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Kanaafuu waldoonni kiristaanaa amantiitti cimaa, baayʼinaanis guyyuma guyyaan itti dabalamaa deeman.
6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia;
Isaanis Hafuurri Qulqulluun akka isaan biyya Asiyaa keessatti dubbicha hin lallabne isaan dhowwinaan biyya Firiigiyaatii fi Galaatiyaa keessa darban.
7 and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;
Yommuu Miisiyaa gaʼanittis Biitaaniyaa seenuu yaalan; Hafuurri Yesuus garuu isaanii hin eeyyamne.
8 and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Kanaaf Miisiyaa keessa baʼanii Xirooʼaasitti gad buʼan.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Phaawulosis halkan sana namicha Maqedooniyaa tokko isaa dhaabatee, “Maqedooniyaa kottuutii nu gargaari” jedhee isa kadhatu mulʼataan arge.
10 And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
Nus erga Phaawulos mulʼata sana argee booddee, Waaqni akka nu wangeela isaanitti lallabnuuf nu waamuu isaati jennee Maqedooniyaa dhaquuf qophoofnee kaane.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Xirooʼaasii dooniidhaan kaanee Saamotraaqeetti fuula deebifannee qajeelle; guyyaa itti aanu immoo Neʼaphoolisitti dabarre.
12 and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.
Achii kaanees Fiiliphisiyuus dhaqne; isheenis magaalaa beekamtuu aanaa Maqedooniyaa kan kolonii mootummaa Roomaa jala turtee dha; nus magaalattii keessa guyyaa muraasa turre.
13 And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which were come together.
Guyyaa Sanbataa immoo magaalattii keessaa baanee gara lagaa iddoo akka lafa kadhannaa itti argannu abdanne tokkootti gad buune; teteenyees dubartoota achitti walitti qabamanitti dubbachuu jalqabne.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.
Warra nu dhaggeeffachaa turan keessaas dubartii Liidiyaa jedhamtu tokkotu ture; isheen daldaltuu wayyaa dhiilgee kan magaalaa Tiyaatiraatii dhuftee, Waaqas waaqeffattu turte. Gooftaan akka isheen waan Phaawulos dubbatu qalbeeffattuuf qalbii ishee baneef.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
Isheenis erga warra mana ishee jiraatan wajjin cuuphamtee booddee, “Yoo akka nama Gooftaatti amanu tokkootti na ilaaltan, kottaatii mana koo turaa” jettee nu waamte; jabeessitees nu kadhatte.
16 And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
Gaaf tokko utuu iddoo itti kadhatan dhaqnuu xomboree hafuura waa himsiisuun guutamte tokkoon walitti dhufne; isheen waa namaa himuun gooftota isheetiif maallaqa guddaa galchiti turte.
17 The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, which proclaim unto you the way of salvation.
Isheenis, “Namoonni kunneen tajaajiltoota Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii kanneen karaa fayyinaa isinitti himanii dha” jettee iyyaa Phaawulosii fi nu duukaa buute.
18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
Waan kanas guyyaa hedduu itti fufte; Phaawulos garuu waan akka malee aareef itti garagalee hafuura sanaan, “Ani akka ati ishee keessaa baatu maqaa Yesuus Kiristoosiitiin sin ajaja” jedhe; hafuurichis yommusuma ishee keessaa baʼe.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,
Gooftonni xomboree sanaas yommuu akka abdiin galii isaanii citte hubatanitti Phaawulosii fi Siilaasin qabanii fuula abbootii taayitaa duratti dhiʼeessuuf jedhanii lafa irra harkisaa iddoo gabaatti isaan geessan.
20 and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Fuula qondaaltotaa durattis isaan dhiʼeessanii akkana jedhan; “Namoonni kunneen Yihuudoota; magaalaa keenyas jeequutti jiru.
21 and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.
Isaanis duudhaa fudhachuun yookaan itti buluun nuu warra Roomaatiif hin eeyyamamne barsiisu.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.
Namoonnis tokkummaadhaan Phaawulosii fi Siilaasitti kaʼan; qondaaltonni sunis akka wayyaan isaan irraa baafamee uleedhaan tumaman ajajan.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Jarris erga akka malee garafamanii booddee mana hidhaatti darbataman; eegduun mana hidhaa sanaas akka jabeessee isaan eegu ajajame.
24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Innis ajaja kana fudhatee gola mana hidhaa keessa isaan galche; miilla isaaniis jirma gidduu galchee hidhe.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
Gara halkan walakkaatti Phaawulosii fi Siilaas kadhachaa, faarfannaadhaanis Waaqa galateeffachaa turan; hidhamtoonni kaanis isaan dhaggeeffachaa turan.
26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed.
Akkuma tasaa sochiin lafaa cimaan tokko taʼe; kanaanis hundeen mana hidhaa sanaa raafame; yommusuma balballi hundinuu ni baname; foncaan nama hundaas ni hiikame.
27 And the jailor being roused out of sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Eegduun mana hidhaa sunis yommuu dammaqee akka balballi mana hidhaa baname argetti waan hidhamtoonni baʼanii badan seʼee of ajjeesuuf goraadee isaa luqqifate.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Phaawulos garuu sagalee guddaadhaan iyyee, “Nu hundi asuma jirraatii of hin miidhin” jedheen.
29 And he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
Eegduun sunis ibsaa fichisiifatee fiigaa ol gale; sodaadhaanis hollachaa Phaawulosii fi Siilaas duratti kufe;
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
gad isaan baasees, “Yaa Gooftota ko, ani akka fayyuuf maal gochuun qaba?” jedhee gaafate.
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
Isaanis deebisanii, “Gooftaa Yesuusitti amani; ati ni fayyitaa; warri mana kee jiraatanis ni fayyuutii” jedhan.
32 And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.
Dubbii Gooftaas isaa fi warra mana isaa jiraatan hundatti himan.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.
Eegduun mana hidhaa sunis saʼaatuma halkanii sana isaan fuudhee madaa isaanii dhiqeef; yommusumas innii fi maatiin isaa hundinuu cuuphaman.
34 And he brought them up into his house, and set meat before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.
Eegduun sunis mana isaatti isaan geessee nyaata dhiʼeesseef; sababii maatiin isaa hundi gara Waaqa amanuutti dhufaniif warri mana isaa jiraatan hundi akka malee gammadan.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
Yommuu bariʼetti qondaaltonni sun, “Namoota sana gad dhiisi” jedhanii eegduu mana hidhaa sanatti poolisii ergan.
36 And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.
Eegduun sunis, “Qondaaltonni akka isin hiikamtan ajajaniiru; kanaaf amma deemuu ni dandeessu; nagaan galaa” jedhee Phaawulositti hime.
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Phaawulos garuu poolisoota sanaan akkana jedhe; “Isaan utuma nu lammiiwwan Roomaa taanee jirruu, murtii tokko malee nu garafanii mana hidhaatti nu darbatan; amma immoo dhoksaan nu baasuu barbaaduu? Kun hin taʼu! Isaanumti mataan isaanii dhufanii nu haa baasanii!” jedhe.
38 And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans;
Poolisoonnis dubbii kana qondaaltotatti himan; qondaaltonnis yommuu akka Phaawulosii fi Siilaas lammiiwwan Roomaa taʼan dhagaʼanitti ni rifatan.
39 and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.
Isaanis dhufanii dhiifama isaan gaafatan; mana hidhaatii isaan baasanii akka isaan magaalattii keessaa baʼanii deemaniif isaan kadhatan.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Phaawulosii fi Siilaas mana hidhaatii baʼanii mana Liidiyaa dhaqan; isaanis yommuu obboloota arganitti isaan jajjabeessan; achiis baʼanii deeman.
