Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
Gidduudhuma sana Saaʼol barattoota Gooftaa ajjeesuuf dhaadachaa gara luba ol aanaa dhaqee,
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
nama karaa kana irra jiru kam iyyuu dhiiras dubartiis yoo argate akka hidhee Yerusaalemitti geessuuf akka lubni sun gara manneen sagadaa kanneen Damaasqoo jiraniitti xalayaawwan isaaf barreessuuf isa kadhate.
3 And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:
Utuu inni deemaa jiruu akkuma Damaasqootti dhiʼaateen akkuma tasaa ifni tokko samii irraa naannoo isaatti balaqqise.
4 and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Innis lafatti kufee sagalee, “Yaa Saaʼol, Yaa Saaʼol, ati maaliif na ariʼatta?” isaan jedhu tokko dhagaʼe.
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
Saaʼolis, “Yaa Gooftaa, ati eenyu?” jedhee gaafate. Innis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani Yesuus isa ati ariʼattuu dha. Arfii wayii dhiituun suma miidha.
6 but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Amma kaʼii magaalaa seeni; wanni ati gootu sitti himamaatii” jedheen.
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man.
Namoonni Saaʼol wajjin deemaa turanis waan dubbatan dhabanii dhadhaabatan; isaanis sagalee dhagaʼan malee nama tokko illee hin argine.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Saaʼolis lafaa kaʼe; innis yommuu iji isaa banametti homaa arguu hin dandeenye; isaanis harka isaa qabanii Damaasqootti isa geessan.
9 And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.
Iji isaas Guyyaa sadii guutuu arguu hin dandeenye; innis homaa hin nyaanne; homaas hin dhugne.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.
Damaasqoo keessa barataa Anaaniyaas jedhamu tokkotu ture. Gooftaanis mulʼataan, “Yaa Anaaniyaas!” jedhee isa waame. Innis, “Yaa Gooftaa, kunoo ani asin jira” jedhee deebise.
11 And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;
Gooftaanis akkana jedheen; “Kaʼii gara daandii ‘Qajeelaa’ jedhamu sanaa mana Yihuudaa dhaqiitii nama Saaʼol jedhamu kan Xarseesii dhufe tokko iyyaafadhu; inni kadhannaa irra jiraatii.
12 and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.
Saaʼolis nama Anaaniyaas jedhamu tokko isaa dhufee akka agartuun isaa deebiʼuufiif harka isa irra kaaʼu mulʼataan arge.”
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Anaaniyaasis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Yaa Gooftaa, ani waaʼee namicha kanaa, miidhaa inni qulqulloota kee warra Yerusaalem jiraatan irratti hojjete hundumaa dhagaʼeera.
14 and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.
Ammas warra maqaa kee waammatan hunda hidhuuf jedhee luboota hangafoota irraa aangoo fudhatee dhufeera.”
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel:
Gooftaan garuu Anaaniyaasiin akkana jedhe; “Namichi kun miʼa koo kan ani akka inni namoota Ormaatii fi mootota isaanii duratti, saba Israaʼel durattis maqaa koo baatuuf jedhee filadhe waan taʼeef kaʼii dhaqi!
16 for I will shew him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
Ani akka inni maqaa kootiif jedhee rakkachuu qabu isattin argisiisa.”
17 And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Anaaniyaasis dhaqee mana sana seene. Harka isaas Saaʼol irra kaaʼee, “Yaa obboleessa koo Saaʼol, Gooftaa Yesuus inni utuu ati as dhuftuu karaa irratti sitti mulʼate sun akka ati argituu fi akka ati Hafuura Qulqulluun guutamtuuf na ergeera” jedhe.
18 And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;
Yommusuma wanni akka qolaa ija Saaʼol irraa harcaʼe; inni ammas arguu dandaʼe. Kaʼees cuuphame.
19 and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
Nyaatas nyaatee jajjabaate. Saaʼol bultii gabaabduudhaaf barattoota Damaasqoo jiran bira bubbule.
20 And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.
Innis akka Yesuus ilma Waaqaa taʼe yeruma sana manneen sagadaa keessatti lallabuu jalqabe.
21 And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havock of them which called on this name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests.
Warri isa dhagaʼan hundinuus dinqifatanii akkana jedhan; “Namichi kun isuma Yerusaalem keessatti warra maqaa kana waammatan balleesse sana mitii? Ammas hidhee luboota hangafootatti isaan geessuuf dhufe mitii?”
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Saaʼol garuu ittuma jabaachaa deeme; innis akka Yesuus kun Kiristoos taʼe mirkaneessuudhaan Yihuudoota Damaasqoo keessa jiraatan afaan qabachiise.
23 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him:
Erga guyyaan hedduun darbee booddees Yihuudoonni isa ajjeesuuf mariʼatan.
24 but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him:
Saaʼol garuu marii isaanii kana beeke; isaanis isa ajjeesuuf jedhanii halkanii guyyaa balbala magaalaa sanaa jabeessanii eegaa turan.
25 but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Barattoonni isaa garuu halkaniin fuudhanii guuboodhaan dallaa irraan dabarsanii gad isa buusan.
26 And when he was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Innis yommuu gara Yerusaalem dhufetti barattootatti dabalamuu yaale; isaanis waan barataa taʼuu isaa hin amaniniif hundi isaanii isa sodaatan.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
Barnaabaas immoo fuudhee ergamootatti isa geesse; akka Saaʼol itti karaatti gooftaa arge, akka itti gooftaan isatti dubbatee fi akka inni sodaa malee Damaasqoo keessatti maqaa Yesuusiitiin lallabe isaanitti hime.
28 And he was with them going in and going out at Jerusalem,
Saaʼolis isaan wajjin jiraatee Yerusaalem keessa sodaa malee baʼee galaa ture; maqaa Gooftaatiinis ija jabinaan lallabe.
29 preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they went about to kill him.
Yihuudoota Giriikota keessa jiraatan wajjinis dubbachaa isaaniinis morkachaa ture; isaan garuu isa ajjeesuu barbaadan.
30 And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Obboloonnis yommuu waan kana beekanitti fuudhanii Qiisaariyaatti gad isa buusan; gara Xarsees isa ergan.
31 So the church throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, was multiplied.
Kanaafis waldaan kiristaanaa Yihuudaa, Galiilaa fi Samaariyaa keessa jirtu guutummaatti nagaa argatte; ni cimtes. Isheenis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan jajjabaatee sodaa Gooftaatiin jiraachuudhaan baayʼinaan guddachaa deemte.
32 And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
Phexros utuu biyya sana keessa naannaʼaa jiruu qulqulloota Liidaa keessa jiraatan ilaaluuf gad buʼe.
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, which had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied.
Achittis namicha laamshaʼaa Eeniyaa jedhamu kan waggaa saddeeti siree irratti hafee ture tokko arge.
34 And Peter said unto him, AEneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And straightway he arose.
Phexrosis, “Yaa Eeniyaa, Yesuus Kiristoos si fayyisa; kaʼiitii siree kee afadhu” jedheen. Eeniyaanis yommusuma kaʼe.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Namoonni Liidaa fi Shaaroon keessa jiraatan hundinuu isa arganii Gooftaatti deebiʼan.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
Yoophee keessas barattuu Xaabiitaa jedhamtu tokkotu ture; Xaabiitaa jechuun Doorqaa jechuu dha. Isheenis yeroo hunda waan gaarii hojjetti; hiyyeeyyiis ni gargaarti turte.
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.
Isheenis baruma sana keessa dhukkubsattee duute; reeffa ishees dhiqanii kutaa darbii tokko keessa kaaʼan.
38 And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us.
Liidaan kun Yoopheetti dhiʼoo turte; barattoonnis yommuu akka Phexros Liidaa jiru dhagaʼanitti nama lama isatti erganii, “Maaloo dafii nu bira gaʼi!” jedhanii isa kadhatan.
39 And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
Phexrosis kaʼee isaan wajjin deeme; akkuma inni achi gaʼeenis gara kutaa darbii sanaatti isa geessan. Haadhonni hiyyeessaa hundinuu isa bira dhaabatanii kootii fi wayyaa biraa kan Doorqaan yeroo isaan wajjin turte hojjette sana isatti argisiisanii booʼaa turan.
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 when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Phexrosis hunda isaanii gad baasee jilbeenfatee Waaqa kadhate; reeffa sanattis garagalee, “Xaabiitaa kaʼi!” jedhe. Isheenis ija ishee banattee Phexrosin argite; kaatees ni teesse.
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Innis harka qabee ishee kaase; amantootaa fi haadhota hiyyeessaa waamee jiraattuu taatee isaan fuuldura dhaabe.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed on the Lord.
Kunis Yoophee hunda keessatti beekame; namoonni baayʼeenis Gooftaatti amanan.
43 And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
Phexrosis Yoophee keessa gogaa duugduu Simoon jedhamu tokko bira guyyaa hedduu ture.
