Acts 11
1 The apostles and [other] believers who lived in various towns in Judea [province] heard people say that [some] non-Jewish people had believed the message [from] God [about Jesus].
Kitetidaytine Yudan diza ammanizayit Ayhuda gidoontta dereti xoossa qaala ekkidayssa siyida.
2 So when Peter [and the six other believers] returned [from Caesarea] to Jerusalem, [some] Jewish believers criticized Peter, [because they thought that Jews should not associate with non-Jews] [MTY].
Hessa gish Phixiroossay yerussaleme kezin qaxxaretiida Ayhudeepe ammaniizayitti phixirossa
3 They said to him, “Not only was it wrong for you(sg) to visit non-Jewish people, you [even] ate with them!”
“Ne qaxxaretoonttyta keethi gellada isttara kaathi madassa” gi leqqida.
4 So Peter began to explain exactly [what had happened concerning Cornelius].
Phixiroossay qasse isttas gellana mala marara hizzgi yootides.
5 He said, “I was praying [by myself] in Joppa [town], and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw that something like a large sheet was being lowered from heaven. [It was tied with ropes] at its four corners, and it came down to where I was.
“Tani Yophphe kaataman wosishini dhisikoo mala tana liphiph histtidi ajjutan giita mayoo millatizza miishshi oyddu baggara oykketiidi saloppe ta dizaso wodhdhishin beeyadiis.
6 As I was looking intently into it, I saw some tame animals [but also animals that our laws forbid us to eat, including] wild animals, snakes, and wild birds.
Ta tiish histta xeelishin oyddu toora diza meheista, woora doo7ata, biita bolla gochchetiza medheteththatane salo bolla piradhdhiza kafoota beeyadiis.
7 Then I heard God [MTY] commanding me, ‘Peter, get up, kill [some of these], and [cook and] eat [their meat]!’
Heraka tana (Pixiroossa dendda! hayssa shuukkada maa) giza qaala siyadiis.
8 But I replied, ‘Lord, [you(sg)] surely do not [really want me to do that], because I have never eaten [MTY] meat [from any animal] that [our laws say] that we [(exc)] must not eat [SYN]!’
Taka (Godo hess haneena, tani tuna waykoo geshshi gidoonttayssa mulleka ta duunakoo shishsha errike) gadiis.
9 God spoke from heaven [to me] a second time, ‘[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!’
He kasse qaalay qasseka (Xooss geshshidayssa ne tunesoppa) gidi salope taas yootdees.
10 Then [after that happened three times, the sheet with] all [those animals and birds] was pulled up into heaven again.”
Hessikka hedzdzu wode shiretti shiretti yootetidape guye wurikka simidi puude salo bides.
11 “At that exact moment, three men who had been {whom [Cornelius] had} sent from Caesarea arrived at the house where I was staying.
Qisariyappe taakko kittetida hedzdzu asati heraka he saateyin yi gakkidi ta diza keththa karen eqqida.
12 [God’s] Spirit told me that I should be willing to go with them [even though they were not Jews]. These six [Jewish] believers [from Joppa] went with me [to Caesarea], and then we [(exc)] went into that [non-Jewish] man’s house.
Ta aynne sidhontta isttara bana mala Xiillo Ayanay taas yootides. He usuupun ishshantti tanara isfe biidi addeza keeth gellidos.
13 He told us that he had seen an angel standing in his house. The angel told him, ‘Tell some [men] to go to Joppa and bring back Simon whose other name is Peter.
Izika Xoossa kittanchay iza keeththan eqqdi izas beetidaysanne (Yophphe gizaso asee yeddada Phixiroossa geetetiiza simmoona xeeygisa.
14 He will tell you [(sg)] how you and everyone [MTY] else in your house will be saved {how [God] will save you and everyone [MTY] else in your house}.’
Izi yiidi nenane nesso asa wursi ashshana qaala yootana” gidaysa nus yotides.
15 After I started to speak, the Holy Spirit [suddenly] came down on them, just like he had first [MTY] come on us [during the Pentecost festival].
Takka bada buro yooto oykkishin koyroo Xiillo Ayanay kase nu bolla wodhooyssatho istta bollaka wodhides.
16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John caused people to be baptized in water, but [God] will cause the Holy Spirit [to enter you and change your lives.’]
Kasse Goday nusu yootishshe (Yanssay haathan xamaqqidees, shin inte xiillo ayanan xaamaqistana) gida qaalay herakka taas qoofetiides.
17 God gave those non-Jews the same Holy Spirit that he had given to us [(inc)] after we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. So, ([I] could not [possibly] tell God that he did wrong [when he gave them the Holy Spirit!]/how could I [tell] God that he did wrong [when he gave them the Holy Spirit]?) [RHQ] [He was showing that he had received them]!”
Hessa gish nuni Goda Yesus Kirsttossa ammanishin nusi immida Xiillo Ayana Xoossi isttas immiko histtin Xoossara eqqistanas ta oonne?”
18 After [those Jewish believers] heard what Peter said, they stopped criticizing [him. Instead], they praised God, saying, “Then it is [clear to us that] God has also accepted the non-Jews so that they will have eternal life, if they turn from their sinful behavior [and believe in Jesus]!”
Istti hessa siyida wode isttas gizazi dhayin co7u gi simmid “Hayssaa mala gidikko Ayhuda gidoontta deretiika ha oraatha deyooko yana mala Xoossi asas maaroteth immides guussakka” giidi xoossa gallatida.
19 After [people had killed] Stephen, many of the believers left [Jerusalem and went] to other places, because people were causing them to suffer [there in Jerusalem. Some of] them went to Phoenicia [region], some went to Cyprus [Island], and others went to Antioch [city in Syria province. In those places] they were continually telling people the message [about Jesus], but they told only other Jewish people.
Isxxifanose bolla denddida godeetha gaason laaletida ammaniza asay qaala Ayhudatas xalala yootishe Finqqe, Qophirosanne Anxxokiiya gizasoo gakkanaas kanththi bida.
20 Some of the believers were men from Cyprus and from Cyrene [city in north Africa]. They went to Antioch, and [although they told other Jews about] the Lord Jesus, they also told non-Jewish people [there].
Qophirossapene Qarenape yida issi issi asati Anxxokiiya bidi Girkkistaskka Goda Yesussa mishirachcho qaala yootida.
21 The Lord [God] [MTY] was powerfully enabling those [believers to preach effectively. As a result], very many [non-Jewish] people believed [their message and] trusted in the Lord [Jesus].
Goda madoyka isttara des, qoodani kehi daroo asayi ammanidi Godako simmides.
22 The group of believers in Jerusalem heard [MTY] [people say that many people in Antioch were believing in Jesus. So] the [leaders] of the congregation in [Jerusalem] asked Barnabas to go to Antioch.
Hessa woreykka Yerussalemen diza wossa keeththa asa hayththan wodhin woossa keeththaya Barnabasa Anxxokiya yeedadus.
23 When he got [there], he realized that God had acted kindly toward [the believers. So] he was very happy, and he continually encouraged all of the [believers] to continue to trust completely in the Lord [Jesus].
Izika he bi gakkidi Xoossi ba adhdho keeyateth deeraso immidayssa beeyidi uhaaththaa7etidesinne asay wurikka kuumetha wozzinape Goda ammanon miinnana mala zoriides.
24 Barnabas was a good man [whom] the Holy Spirit completely controlled, one who trusted [God] completely. [Because of what Barnabas did], many people [there] believed in the Lord [Jesus].
Izikka Xiillo Ayananiine ammanoni kuumiida loo7o asa. Daroo derey Goda ammanon gujjetidees.
25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus [in Cilicia province to try] to find Saul.
Hessafe kaallidi Barinnabasay Sawule koyana Xarsese biides.
26 After he found him, Barnabas brought him [back to] Antioch [to help teach the believers. So during] a whole year [Barnabas and Saul] met [regularly] with the congregation [there] and taught many of them [about Jesus. It was] at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians {[that people] first called the believers Christians}.
Iza demmidine Anxxokiya ekki yidees. Namm7aykka heni diza wossa keeththa asara gididi layith kuumeth daroo dere tammarisida. Hen Anxxokiyan ammaniizayt koyro “kiristtane” geeteti xeeygetida.
27 During the time [that Barnabas and Saul were] at Antioch, some [believers who were] prophets arrived there from Jerusalem.
He wode issi issi nabeti Yerussalamepe duge Anxxokiya wodhida.
28 One of them, whose name was Agabus, stood up [in order to speak]. [God’s] Spirit enabled him to prophesy (that there would soon be a famine in many countries/that [people] in many countries [HYP] would soon [suffer because they] would not have enough [food] to eat). (That famine happened when Claudius was the [Roman Emperor].)
Istta garssafe issay Agabossa geetettizays denddi eqqidi xiillo ayanay iza beesin allame wursion gita koshshay deenddanayisa yootides. Hesikka Rome kawo Qalawudosa qesare geetettizayssa kawootetha wode pooletides.
29 When the believers [there heard what Agabus said], they decided that they would send [money] to help the believers who lived in Judea. Each [of them decided to give as much money] as he was able [to give].
Ammaniizayt wuri issay issay ba wolliqa sire mishshe kesettidi Yudan diza ammaniza ishshata maadanas qachchida.
30 They sent [the money] with Barnabas and Saul to the leaders of the congregation [in Jerusalem].
Maado mishsha kesetidi Barinassane Sawule kushsheni cimattas gaththana mala yedida.
