Acts 24
1 And, after five days, came down the High-priest Ananias, with certain Elders and a certain orator Tertullus, and they informed the governor against Paul.
Ichchashu gallasappe guye kahine halaqay Hananey, cimataranne Xerxeluusa giya issi xabaqaara Qisaariya bis. Entti deriya ayseyssa bolla Phawuloosa mootidosona.
2 And, when he was called, Tertullus began to make accusation, saying—Seeing that, great peace, we are obtaining through thee, and that, reforms, are being brought about for this nation through thy forethought,
Phawuloosi xeegettidi gelida wode, Xerxeluusi iya hayssada yaagidi mootis: “Bonchcho Filkkisa, nuuni ne baggara daro sarotethaa demmida, ne lo77o aysuwan nu biittay daro laamettis.
3 both in all ways and in all places, are we accepting it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Bonchcho Filkkisa, nuuni awunkka awude gidin daro galatan hessa ekkoos.
4 But, lest I too long detain thee, I beseech thee to hear us concisely in thy considerateness.
Taani nena gam77isonnashin neeni ne keehatethan nubaa qanthan si7ana mela nena woossays.
5 For, finding this man a pest, and moving sedition with all the Jews that are throughout the inhabited earth, a leader also of the sect of the Nazarenes, —
Ha uray dhube gididi biitta ubban de7iya Ayhudeta giddon buqethi medhdhidi Naaziraweta bagga asaa kaaletheyssa gidoyssa erida.
6 who also attempted to desecrate even, the temple, whom we also seized,
Hari attoshin, Xoossa Keetha tunisana hanishin nuuni iya oykkida; nu higgiyada iya bolla pirddanaw qoppida.
Shin shaalaqaa Luusiyosi yidi, wolqqan nu kusheppe iya wothi ekkis.
8 from whom thou shall be able, thyself, by making examination concerning all these things, to ascertain the things of which, we, are accusing him.
Iya mooteyssatikka neekko yaana mela kiittis. Neeni ne huu7en ha uraa filggada nuuni iya mootiya mootuwa ubbaa eranaw dandda7aasa” yaagis.
9 Moreover, the Jews also were joining in the attack, saying that, these things, were, so.
Ayhudetikka, “Ha oday tuma” gidi iya qofaa ma77idosona.
10 And Paul answered, when the governor had motioned him to be speaking, —Well knowing thee to have been, for many years, judge unto his nation, cheerfully, as to the things concerning myself, do I make defence;
Deriya ayseyssi Phawuloosa oda gidi mallis. Phawuloosi hayssada gidi zaaris: “Neeni daro wodeppe doomada, ha asaas pirddashe de7eyssa erada ta odas ufayssan zaaro immays.
11 seeing thou art able to ascertain, that there are, not more, than twelve days, since I went up to worship in Jerusalem, —
Taani Yerusalaame goynnanaw keyin tammanne nam77u gallasappe aadhdhonnayssa neeni ne huu7en eranaw dandda7aasa.
12 and neither, in the temple, found they me, with any one, disputing, or causing, a halt, of the multitude, either in the synagogues or throughout the city, —
Ayhudeti tana Xoossaa Keethan gidin Ayhude Woosa Keethan gidin kataman gidin ooderakka palamishin woykko asa shiishada maqqishin issi asikka demmibeenna.
13 neither can they make good the things concerning which they are, now, accusing me.
Ha77ika entti tana mootiyabaas markka demmanaw dandda7okkona.
14 But I confess, this, unto thee, —That, according to the Way which they call a Sect, so, I am rendering divine service unto my father’s God, believing in all the things which, throughout the law, and those which, in the prophets, are written:
“Shin taani hayssa issibaa ammanays; taani higgen de7iyabaanne nabeti xaafida ubbabaa ammanada, nu aawata Xoossaa, entti worddo giya ogiyan goynnays.
15 Having, hope, towards God, which, even these themselves, do entertain—that, a resurrection, there shall certainly be, both of righteous and of unrighteous:
Entti bantta huu7en ammaneyssa mela xillotinne nagaranchchoti hayqoppe denddanayssa takka ammanays.
16 herein, even I, myself, am studying to have, an unoffending conscience, towards God and men, continually.
Hessa gisho, taani Xoossaa sinthaninne asaa sinthan ubba wode lo77o kahi taw daana mela minnays.
17 Now, after many years, intending to do, alms, unto my nation, I arrived, —also [to present] offerings; among which they found me, purified in the temple, not with a multitude, nor with tumult;
“Taani Yerusalaameppe keyoosappe daro laythafe guye ta biittaa manqotas maade immanawunne yarshsho yarshshanaw Yerusalaame bas.
18 but certain Jews from Asia [caused it], —
Taani Xoossa Keethan hessa oothada geeshsha wogaa pola simmin tana demmidosona. He wode taara asi baawa, ooshshikka keyibeenna.
19 who ought, before thee, to have presented themselves, and to have been laying accusation, if, anything, they might have had against me: —
Shin Iisiyappe yida issi issi Ayhudeti hessan de7oosona; entti ta bolla oda koykko yidi tana ne bolla mootanaw dandda7osona.
20 Or, let, these themselves, say what wrong they found, when I stood before the High-council, —
Woykko taani shangguwa sinthe shiiqida wode oothida bali de7ikko hayssati ne sinthan de7eyssati odonna.
21 unless concerning this one voice, wherewith I cried aloud among them, as I stood—Concerning the raising of the dead, am, I, to be judged, this day, by you.
Taani entta giddon eqqada, ‘Hayqqidayssati denddana gada waassada odida gisho hachchi hintte sinthan ta bolla pirddoosona’ gas; hessafe harabaa oothabikke” yaagis.
22 And Felix deferred them, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, —saying—As soon as, Lysias the captain, hath come down, I will give judgment as to your affairs, —
Shin Filkkisi Xoossaa ogiyabaa geeshshi erida gisho, “Taani hintte oda shaalaqaa Luusiyosi yaa wode pirddana” yaagidi moyzis.
23 giving orders unto the centurion, that he should be kept, and have a measure of liberty, and to be hindering, none, of his own from waiting upon him.
Filkkisi qassi Phawuloosa qachchonna naagana melanne iya dabbotappe oonikka iya oychchanaw yishin diggonna mela mato halaqaa kiittis.
24 And, after certain days, Felix having arrived, with Drusilla his own wife, who was, a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith, respecting Christ Jesus.
Guutha gallasappe guye, Filkkisi Ayhude bagga gidida ba machche Dirusillara yidi Phawuloosa kiitti ehisidi Yesuus Kiristtoosan ammanobaa iyappe si7is.
25 And, as he was reasoning of righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix, becoming greatly afraid, answered—For the present, be going thy way, and, when I find an opportunity, I will send for thee, —
Phawuloosi xillotethabaa, ba huu7e haariyabaanne yaanaw de7iya pirddabaa odishin, Filkkisi yayyidi, “Neeni ha77is ba; taw injjetida wode nena xeegisana” yaagis.
26 at the same time, also hoping that, money, would be given him by Paul; wherefore also, the more frequently sending for him, he used to converse with him.
He wode Phawuloosappe gubbo ekkanaw qoppidi iya zaari zaari xeegisidi iyara odettees.
27 When, however, two years, were completed, Felix, was succeeded, by Porcius Festus, and Felix, wishing to gain favour with the Jews, left Paul bound.
Nam77u laythafe guye, Filkkisa bessaa Phorqiyoos Fisxoosi ekkis. Filkkisi Ayhudeta ufayssanaw koyidi Phawuloosa billonna aggaa gis.
