Acts 22
1 Brethren and fathers, hear the defence which I make to you.
“Ta ishato, ta aawato, taani ha77i hinttew immiya zaaruwa si7ite.”
2 And when they heard that Hebrew he was speaking with them, the more they ceased; and he said to them,
Phawuloosi enttaw Ibraysxe doonan odeyssa si7idi kaseyssafe aathidi si7i gidosona. I kaallidi,
3 I am a man a Jihudoya; and I was born in Tarsos of Cilicia, but was brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and instructed perfectly in the law of our fathers. And I was zealous for Aloha, even as all of you are also.
“Taani Kilqiyan de7iya Terseesen yelettada ha kataman diccas. Ta asttamaareykka Gamaaliyale; taani nu aawata higgiya mintha tamaarida, hachchi hintte ubbay haneyssada Xoossaas mishettiya Ayhude asi.
4 And this way I persecuted unto the death, while I bound and delivered to the house of the bound both men and women;
Taani ha ogiya kaalliya maccatanne addeta oykkada qasho keethan yeggashenn entta wodhisana gakkanaw waaye bessida asi.
5 as the chief of the priests can testify of me, and all the elders, that from them I received letters to go to the brethren who were in Darmsuk, that also them who were there I should bring to Urishlem bound, that they might be fined.
Hessadakka, kahine halaqaynne Shanggo ubbay tabaa markkattanaw dandda7ees. Taani Damasqqon de7iya entta ishatas enttafe dabddaabbiya ekkada yan de7iya asati qashettidi seerettana mela Yerusalaame entta ehanaw yaa bas.
6 And as I went, and began to approach Darmsuk in the dividing of the day, suddenly from heaven there shone upon me a great light,
“Taani bada Damasqqo matida wode seeta gallas qopponna saloppe gita poo7oy ta yuushuwan poo7is.
7 and I fell upon the earth, and heard a voice, which said to me, Shaol, Shaol, why persecutest thou me?
Taani sa7an kundda de7ishin, ‘Saa7ola, Saa7ola, tana ays goodday?’ giya qaala si7as.
8 But I answered and said, Who art thou, my Lord? And he said to me, I am Jeshu Natsroya, whom thou persecutest!
Taani zaarada, ‘Godaw, neeni oonee?’ yaagas. I zaaridi, ‘Taani, neeni gooddiya Naazirete Yesuusa’ yaagis.
9 And the men who were with me saw the light, but the voice they understood not which spake with me.
Taara de7eyssati poo7uwa be7idosonappe attin taw odeyssa qaala akeekibookkona.
10 And I said, What shall I do, my Lord? And he said to me, Arise, go into Darmsuk, and there shall it be told thee of whatever it is commanded thee to do.
“Taani, ‘Godaw, ta ay ootho?’ yaagas. “Goday taakko, ‘Denddada Damasqqo ba. Neeni oothana mela Xoossay oothanaw qoppidabaa ubbay yan new odettana’ yaagis.
11 And while I could not see because of the glory of that light, they who were with me took me by my hands, and I entered Darmsuk.
He wolqqaama poo7uwa gaason ta ayfey qooqin, taara de7iya asati ta kushiya oykkidi, tana goochchin Damasqqo gakkas.
12 And a man, one Hanania, righteous in the law, as the Jihudoyee who were there testified of him,
“Damasqqon de7iya Ayhude ubbay daro bonchchiya issi Hananiya giya addey, nu higgiya bonchcheysinne Xoossaa minthi woosseyssi de7ees.
13 came to me, and said to me, Shaol, my brother, open thine eyes. And in a moment my eyes were opened, and I beheld him.
Hananey taakko yidi, ta matan eqqidi, ‘Ta ishaw Saa7olaa, xeella’ yaagis. Ellesada taani iya xeella aggas.
14 And he said to me, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see that Just One, and to hear the voice from his lips,
“I taakko, ‘Nu aawata Xoossay neeni iya sheniya erana mela, iya xillo Na7aa be7ana melanne iya doonappe qaala si7ana mela kasetidi nena dooris.
15 that thou mayest be a witness to all men of all that thou hast seen and heard.
Neeni be7idabaanne si7idabaa asa ubbaa sinthan iyaw markkattana.
16 And now why delayest thou? Arise, baptize, and be washed from thy sins, while thou callest his Name.
Ha77i ays gam77ay? Denddada xammaqetta; iya sunthaa xeegada ne nagaraappe meecetta’ yaagis.
17 And being returned, I came hither to Urishlem. And I prayed in the temple.
“Taani guye Yerusalaame simmada Xoossa Keethan woossishin, taw qonccethi benttis.
18 And I saw him in a vision, when he said to me, Hasten, and remove thee from Urishlem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
Qonccethan Goday taakko, ‘Ne taw markkattiya markkatethaa asay ekkonna gisho ellesada Yerusalaameppe keya’ yaagishin taani be7as.
19 And I said, My Lord, they know also how I delivered to the house of the bound, and smote in all the synagogues, those who have believed in thee.
“Taani, ‘Godaw, Ayhude Woosa Keetha ubban nena ammaneyssata oykkada wadhdhidayssanne qasho keethan yeggidayssa entti eroosona.
20 And when the blood of thy martyr Estephanos was shed, I also stood with them, and fulfilled the will of his murderers, and kept the garments of them who stoned him.
Entti ne markka Isxifaanose wodhiya wode taani he odan issifas. Qassi entta matan eqqada iya wodheyssata ma7uwa naagays’ yaagis.
21 And he said to me, Go: for I send thee far away to preach to the Gentiles.
“Goday taakko, ‘Taani nena Ayhude gidonna asaakko haahoso kiittiya gisho denddada ba’” yaagis.
22 And when they had heard Paulos until this word, they lifted up their voice, and cried, Take from the earth one like this; for he ought not to live.
Phawuloosi he qaala odidi ongana gakkanaw asay I geyssa si7oosona. Hessafe guye, bantta qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Hayssa biittafe dhayssa! I daanaw bessenna” yaagidosona.
23 And as they shouted and cast their garments and threw dust to the heaven,
Entti wocamishin, bantta ma7uwa bolla holishininne baana bolla laallishin;
24 the tribune commanded that he should be brought into the fortress, and commanded him to be questioned by scourging, that he might know for what cause they cried against him.
Shaalaqay be7idi wotaaddareti Phawuloosa bantta de7iyasuwa efana mela kiittis. Qassi asay ays hessada wocamidaakko eranaw koyidi Phawuloosa lisson garaafidi pilggana mela entta kiittis.
25 And as they exposed him with thongs, Paulos said to the centurion who stood near him, Is it allowed you to scourge a Roman man who is not condemned?
Shin wotaaddareti Phawuloosa dafon minthi qachchidi garaafana haniya wode Phawuloosi ba matan eqqida mato halaqaakko, “Roome asi pirddi baynna garaafeyssi hinttew wogee?” yaagis.
26 And when the centurion heard, he approached the tribune, and said to him, What doest thou? For this is a Roman man.
Mato halaqay hessa si7ida wode shaalaqaakko bidi, “Ha addey Roome asi. Neeni ay oothanaw qoppay?” yaagidi oychchis.
27 And the tribune approached him, and said to him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said to him, Yes.
Shaalaqay Phawuloosakko shiiqidi, “Neeni Roome ase? Ane taw oda” yaagis. Phawuloosi, “Ee” yaagis.
28 The tribune answered, and said to him, I with much money purchased the Roman-right. Paulos said to him, But I was born in it.
Shaalaqay zaaridi, “Taani ha gadetethaa daro miishen shammas” yaagis. Shin Phawuloosi, “Ta he gadetethaa yeletethan demma ekkas” yaagis.
29 And immediately those who had sought to scourge him desisted from him; and the tribune feared when he learned that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
Hessa gisho, Phawuloosa pilgganaw qoppidayssati iira iyappe shaakettidosona. Shaalaqay Roome asi santhalaatan qachchidayssa erida wode yayyis.
30 AND the day after he willed to know truly what was the accusation which the Jihudoyee brought against him. And he ordered him and commanded the great priests and all the synagogue of their rulers to come; and he took Paulos and brought (him) down, and stood him among them.
Wonttetha gallas Shaalaqay, Ayhudeti Phawuloosa ays mootidaakko geeshshi eranaw koyis. Kahine halaqatinne shanggoy ubbay shiiqana mela kiittis; qassi Phawuloosa qashoppe bilisidi entta sinthan essis.
