Acts 22
1 Brethren and fathers! Hear ye, the defence, which I now make unto you: —
“Ta ishato, ta aawato ta bolla wordo wothidayssas ta intes immiza maliththe siyite!”
2 And, when they heard that, in the Hebrew language, he had begun to address them, they kept the more quiet. And he saith—
Izi Isra7eele nayta qaalara hasa7ishin siyidi kasepe asay coou gides; Phawulossaykka hasao gujjidi hizzgides.
3 I, am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but nurtured in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, —trained after the strictness of our ancestral law; being jealous for God just as, all ye, are this day;
“Tani kilqqiya garssan diza Xerssese kaataman yeelettida Ayhuda asa; Ta dicciday gidikko haanno yerussalamenkko; Ta nu aawata woga ubbaa Gammalyyaleppe lo7etha tamaaradissene inte hachchi ooththizayssatho Xoossas suure wozinape ooththashe deyadis.
4 and, this way, I persecuted unto the death, binding and delivering up into prisons both men and women: —
Hayssa ha oggeza kaalliza asata wursia wodhdhana gakkanaas Godaaththiza asakkoshin; maccatane addista qachcha qachcha qachcho keeth yeedizadekoshin.
5 as, even the High-priest, beareth me witness, and all the Eldership, —from whom, letters also, accepting to the brethren, unto Damascus, was I journeying, to bring them who were there bound unto Jerusalem, that they might be punished.
Haysi wuri tumu gididayssa qeessista halaqqatine dere cimmatkka wuri tas markkatana; haray attoshin Damasqqon diza ammaniza asa qachch Yerusalame ehada qaxxayssanas Damasqqon dizaytas xaahaaththaetida debbidabe qeeseta halaqatappenne dere cimmatappe ekkadis” gides.
6 But it befell me, as I was journeying and drawing nigh unto Damascus, that, about mid-day—suddenly—out of heaven, there flashed a great light all around me;
Tani damasqqo bishinine kaatama gelana matishin seeta gallas ta qoppontta dishin salope wolqama poo7oy tana yuuy adhdhi poo7ides.
7 I fell also to the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me—Saul! Saul! Why, me, art thou persecuting?
He wode tani biita bolla kunddada Sawulle! Sawulle! ne tana aazas gooddazi? giza qaala siyadis.
8 And, I, answered—Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me—I, am Jesus the Nazarene, whom, thou, art persecuting!
Takka (Godo ne oonne?) gadiis; Izikka (ta neni gooddiza naazerete Yesussakko) gides.
9 Now, they who were with me, beheld, indeed, the light, but heard not, the voice, of him that was speaking with me
Tanara isfe diza asati poo7oza beeyida attin izi tanara hasaishin qaala siyabeyitena.
10 And said—What shall I do, Lord? And, the Lord, said unto me—Arise, and be going thy way into Damascus, and, there, shall it be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
Takka (Godo ta ayy ooso? Gadis; Godaykka (denddada Damasqqo ba, ne ooththanayssa isti nees hen yootana) gides.
11 But, as I could not see clearly owing to the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them who were with me, I came into Damascus.
Poo7oza xolliqqetetha daroope dendidayssan ta xeelanas dandda7abeykke; tanara diza asati ta kushe oykki gochchidi tana Damasqqo gaththida.
12 And, one Ananias, a man devout according to the law, well-attested by all the Jews that dwelt there,
hananiya geetettiza issadey hen dees; Hananiyay Damasqqon diza Ayhudata achchan daroo gallatetidadenne wogga bonchiza asa.
13 coming unto me, and standing over me, said—Saul, brother! look up. And, I, in that very hour, looked up on him.
Izi ta achch shiiq eqqidi (ta isha sawulle ne ayfey qassekka xeello) gides; Herakka ta ayfey iza xeelladis.
14 And he said—The God of our fathers, hath chosen thee to get to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, —and to hear a voice out of his mouth.
Izikka tana hizzgides (nu aawantta xoossay ne iza sheene errana mala iza xiilloza ne beeyana malane izi gizayssa ne siyana mala nena kasseti doorides.
15 Because thou shalt be a witness to him unto all men, of the things which thou hast seen and heard.
Izi hessa ooththiday ne beeyidayssane siydayssa asa wurso sinththan izas ne markkatanaskko.
16 And, now, what art thou going to do? Arise, and get thyself immersed, and have thy sins bathed away, calling upon his name.
Histtin ha7i aazas gamm7azi denddada iza sunththu xeeyigada xammaqista, ne nagarapekka meccista.)
17 And it came to pass, when had returned unto Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, that I came to be in a trance,
Hessafe guye ta Yerusalame simmada Xoossa keeththan wossishin ajjutay tas beettides.
18 and saw him, saying unto me—Haste thee, and go forth speedily out of Jerusalem, inasmuch as they will not accept thy witness concerning me.
Godaykka tas qonccidi “ne ta gish immana markkateth istti ekkontta gish ne gammi7ontta dashe Yerussalamepe ellela keeza!” gides.
19 And, I, said—Lord! they themselves, well know that I was imprisoning and beating in every synagogue them who were believing on thee.
Takka izas hizzgadis “Godo ta Ayhudata wossa keethati dizaso ba baada nena ammanizayta wursia qachchada istta bukkidayssa ba baggara isttikka erretes.
20 And, when the blood of Stephen thy witness was being shed, even I myself, was standing by, and approving, and guarding the mantles of them who were slaying him.
Ne gish markkatiza Isxxifanose asay wodhdhiza wode takka he wohdhiza asata achchan eqqada istti wodhdhizayssa takka dosadissenne wodhdhizayta mayookka nagadis.
21 And he said unto me—Be taking thy journey; because, I, unto nations afar off, will send thee.
Godaykka (Hahoon diza Ayhude gironta asakko ta nena kittiza gish denddada ba) gides.”
22 And they hearkened unto him as far as this word, and lifted up their voice, saying—Away from the earth, with such a man as this, for it is not fit that he should live.
Asay hinno gakkanaas Phawulossa hasa7a wozinappe loo7ethi siyishe aggidi ba qaala dhoqqu histtidi “hayssa mala asi nu biitafe dhayo, hayssa mala asi nu biitan shemppora danas bessena” gishshe wassides.
23 Now, as they were both making an outcry and tearing their mantles, —dust, also were throwing into the air,
Asay wassishe ba mayoo qarri qarri wuxxishene biita puude salo dharccides.
24 the captain ordered him to be brought into the castle, saying, that, with scourging, he should be put to the test, —that he might find out, for what cause they were, thus, clamouring against him.
Ola asa azazizaysi hessa beeyidi Phawulossa wotadarati dizaso gellithana mala azazides; Deereykka iza bolla aazas hessa mala wassizakko errana mala iza garafidi paxxisana mala azazides.
25 But, when they had stretched him out with straps, Paul said unto the by-standing centurion—A Roman, and uncondemned, is it allowed you to be scourging?
Gido attin dafon waxxi qachchidi iza garahaaththaana gigeetishin Phawulossay ba achchan eqqida issi xeetu wotadarata hallaqas “Rome as gidazade pirday bayinida garehaaththaanas intes fiiqadey dize?” gides.
26 And, when the centurion heard [that], he went unto the captain, and reported, saying—What art thou going to do? For, this man, is, a Roman?
Xeetu wotadarata hallaqay hessa siyida mala gede halaqata azazizayssakko biidi “ay ooththana gaaz? haysi addezi Rome asakko” gides.
27 And the captain, coming up, said to him—Tell me! Art, thou, a, Roman? And, he, said—Yea!
Hessa gish halaqata azazizayssi Phawulossako shiiqidi “ane taas yoota, ne Rome ase?” gides; Izikka “Ee ta Rome asa” gides.
28 And the captain answered—I, for a large sum, this citizenship acquired! And, Paul, said—But, I, am even, [free-] born!
Azazizayssikka “ta Rome asa gidanas daroo mishshe qanxxada shaammadis” giin Phawulossay “tani gidiko Romen yeellistadis” gides.
29 Straightway, therefore, they who were about to put him to the test, withdrew from him; and, even the captain, was struck with fear, when he found out he was, a Roman, and because, him, he had bound.
Hessa gish iza marimaranas gigettida asati herakka iza achchafe hakkida; azazizayssikka izi Rome as sanththalatan qachchidayssa yuushsh qoppidi babbides.
30 But, on the morrow, being minded to get to know the certainty as to why he was being accused by the Jews, he released him, and ordered the High-priests and all the High-council to come together; and, bringing down Paul, set him before them.
Wonttetha gallas azazizayssi Ayudati Phawulossa motiza ayfe yooy azakone erranas koyides; qessista hallaqatine Ayhudata shengeo dulata asay wuri issadeykka attontta kumeth shiiqana mala azazides; Phawulossakka qashoppe birshidi shiiqida asa sinthth shishshi esides.
