Acts 28
1 After we [(exc)] had arrived safely [on the shore], we learned that it was an island called Malta.
Nu biittay dizaso saarotethan gakkidape guye nu gakkida abba gidoon diza derey malta geetettizaro gididaro erridos.
2 The people who lived there received us kindly. They lit a fire and invited us to come and warm ourselves, because it was raining and it was cold.
He dereyin diza asay daroo malaliza keyateth nus ooththides. He wode iray bukkida gishine meego gidida gish tama eththidi nuna mokki ekkida.
3 Paul gathered some sticks and put them on the fire. But [among those sticks was] a snake that had come out [from the fire to escape] from the heat, and it fastened itself on Paul’s hand.
Phawulossay ahaaththaira miithth shishshidi taaman gujin taama seelappe denddidayssan shoshshi kezidi iza kushe bolla xaaxxetides.
4 [The islanders knew that the snake was poisonous, so] when they saw it hanging from Paul’s hand, they said to each other, “Probably this man has murdered someone. Although he has escaped from being drowned, [the god] ([who] pays [people back/who punishes people]) for their [MTY] sins will cause him to die.”
Malta asay shoshshi Phawulossa kushe bolla xaaxxetidayssa beeyidi “hayssi addezi shemppo wodhdhidade; gasooykka abba bullahepekka izi attidi yikokka pirdiza Xoossafe kessi ekkidi paxxa daana dandda7ebeyna” giidi ba garssan hasa7ettida.
5 But Paul simply shook the snake off into the fire, and nothing happened to him.
Phawulossay qass shoshsha duge taman qooqofi yeegidi aykokka hanibeyna.
6 The people were expecting that Paul’s body would soon swell up or that he would suddenly fall down and die. But after they had waited a long time, they saw [that the snake] had not harmed him [at all]. So then the people changed their minds and said [to one another], “This man is not a murderer! Probably he is a god!”
Asaykka “Aydepe ayde iza asatethay kixxanesha, woykko qoopontta kundidi hayqqana” giidi naggides; Gido attin istti daroo wode naggishin iza bolla aykkoyne hanonttayssa beeyidi ba qoofa lammidi “hayssi addezi Xoossa” gides.
7 Near where the people had made the fire, there were some fields that belonged to a man whose name was Publius. He was the chief official on the island. He invited us to [come and stay in] his home. He took care of us for three days.
He nu dizaso matan abba gidoon diza dereyo ayssiza Puppulyyosa geetettizadees gadey des; he addezi nuna mookki ekkidi besoon hedzdzu gallas gakkanaas loo7ethi imatides.
8 [At that time] Publius’ father had a fever and dysentery, and he was lying [in bed]. So Paul visited him and prayed [for him. Then] Paul placed his hands on him and healed him.
Heeni Puppulyyosa aawa michchayinne guso harrigey sakkin zinniidi des; Phawulossay izakko gellidi izas wossidesinne iza bolla kushe woththidi paththides.
9 After Paul had done that, the other people on the island who were sick came [to him] and [he] healed them, too.
Hessi hessaththo hanidape guye he dereyin diza hara harriganchati yiidi paxxida.
10 They brought us gifts and [showed in other ways that] they greatly respected us. When we were [ready] to leave [three months later], they brought us food and other things that we would need [for the trip].
Asaykka nus daroo mishshe ehidi nuna bonchizayssa nuna bessida; nu markkaben baana denddin nus koshshizayssa markkaben wursi caandda.
11 After [we had stayed there] three months, we [got on] a ship [that was going to Italy and] sailed away. The ship had been in [a harbor on] the island during the months when there are many storms. It had come from Alexandria [city]. On the front of the ship there were carved images of the twin gods [whose names were Castor and Pollux].
Nu maltan hedzdzu aggina gammidape guye ballggoy adhdhana gakkanaas abba gidoon diza dereyin gammiidi Iskindiryappe yiza markkaben gellidi baana denddidos; He markkabeza bolla Diyossiqqorossa geetettiza nam77u mentte eqqata mislley dees.
12 We [sailed from the island and] arrived at Syracuse [city on Sicily island] and stayed there three days.
Gede Sirakkose geetettiza kaatama gakkidi heen hedzdzu gallas gammidos.
13 Then we traveled on by ship and arrived at Rhegium [port in Italy]. The next day, the wind was blowing from behind us, [so we sailed along fast]. The day after that, we reached Puteoli [town, where we left the ship].
Heepe abba bollara biidi Regiyome geetettiza kaatama gakkidos; Heen issi gallas aqidi duge baggara yiza carkkoy carkkida gish nam77anththo gallas Putiyolusa geetettizaso bidos.
14 In Puteoli we met some believers who invited us to stay with them for a week. [After visiting them], we [left there and started to travel by land] to Rome.
Heen ammanizayta demmidi isttara nu lappun gallas gakkanaas uttana mala nuna wossida. Heeppe qasse Rome bidos.
15 [A group of] believers [who lived in Rome] had heard that we [(exc) were coming]. So they came out [from Rome] to meet us. [Some of] them met us at [the town called] ‘The Market on Appian [Road’, ] and others met us at [the town called] ‘The Three Inns’. When Paul saw those believers, he thanked God and was encouraged.
Romen diza ammaniza asay nu gish siyidi Ahaaththaiyossa geetettiza giyane “hedzdzu aqoso” geetettizaso gakkanaas nuna mookkana yida; phawulossaykka ista beeydi Xoossu galatidesinne minetides.
16 After we [(exc)] arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted {[a Roman official who was responsible for guarding Paul] permitted Paul} to live [in a house] by himself. But [there was always] a soldier there to guard him.
Nuni Rome gelida wode Phawulossa naganas issi wotadaray izas immettin Phawulossay berkka daana mala izas fiiqadey immettides.
17 After [Paul had been there] three days, he sent a message to the Jewish leaders [to come and talk with him. So] they came, and Paul said to them, “My fellow Jews, although I have not opposed our people nor spoken against the customs of our ancestors, [our leaders] in Jerusalem [seized] [MTY] [me. But before they could kill me, a Roman commander rescued me and later sent me] to Caesarea for Roman [authorities/officials to put me on trial].
Hedzdzu gaallassafe guye Phawulossay Romen diza Ayhudatape gita asata beekko xeeyigisides; isttikka izakko shiiqin hizzgides “Ta ishato! tani isiraele dere bollane nu aawata woga bolla ooththida issi qohooykka deena; Gido attin yerussalamen tana qachchidi Rome asatas aththi immida.
18 The Roman authorities/officials questioned me and wanted to release me, because I had not done any [bad] thing for which I should be executed {they should kill me}.
Rome asati tana qori oychchidappe guye tana hayqos gaththiza mishshe demmontta aggida gish birshi yeedana koyida.
19 But when the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] there opposed [what the Roman authorities wanted to do], I had to formally request that the Emperor [judge me here in Rome]. But my reason for doing that was not that I wanted to accuse our leaders about anything.
Shin Ayhude asay ta issi wothoy bayindda yeedetontta mala eqqettin ta yooy Qeessare sinthth shiiqidi beetto gaanas tas gidde giddies. Gido attin tani ta dereta mootiza gasoy tas deena.
20 So I have requested you [to come] here so that I can tell you why I am a prisoner. It is because I believe in [MTY] our Messiah, the one [God long ago promised to send] to us [(inc)] Jews.”
Ta qass ha7i intena xeeygisiday intena beeyanasine haanno intes yootanaskko. Hayssa sanssalatan ta qachchetiday isiraele naytas immettida uhaaththaayssa gasoonkko.
21 Then [the Jewish leaders] said, “We [(exc)] have not received any letters from [our fellow Jews] in Judea about you. Also, none of our fellow Jews who have arrived [here from Judea] has said anything bad about you.
Isttikka izas hizzgi zaarida “Ne gish Yuhuda derepe xaahaaththaettida debidabey nuna gakkibeyina. Ha yida asatape oonikka ne gish iita hasa7iday baawa.
22 But we [(exc)] want to hear what you [(sg)] think about this [Christian] sect/group, because we know that in many places [HYP] bad things are being said {people are saying bad things} about it.”
Hayssa ne kaalliza ammanoza gish awankka asay iitta hasa7izaysa nu erros. Hessa gish ne qoohaaththaay azakkone nu siyana koyos” gida.
23 So they [talked with Paul and decided that they would come back on another day to hear him. When that day arrived], those Jews came back to the place where Paul was staying, and they brought more Jews with them. Paul talked to them from morning until evening. He talked to them about how God wants to rule [people’s lives] [MET]. He tried to convince them that Jesus [is the Messiah] by reminding them what Moses and the other prophets had written [MTY].
Bare izas immidi hara gallas kushe kumidi izi diza keeth yida. Izikka maladoppe omarss gakkanaas Xoossa kawootetha gish markkatethan ba qohaaththaa isttas qonccisides. Musse wogappene nabeta maaxxahaaththaatape xaqqasi xaqqasi Yesussa gish isttas gellththi yootides.
24 Some of those Jews believed that what was said [by Paul] {what [Paul] said} about Jesus [was true], but others did not believe [that it was true].
Isttafe issi issi asati izi yootida qaala ammanida; Bagayti qass ammanibeytena.
25 So they began to argue with one another. [Paul realized that some of them did not want to listen to him, so] when they were about to leave, he said, “The Holy Spirit said something to your/our(incl) ancestors. He spoke these words to Isaiah the prophet, [and what he said is also true about you]:
Isttikka ba garssan issay issara qohaaththaan gaggontta shakketida; Phawulossay wurssethan yootishe hizzgides “xiillo ayanay nabe isyyasa baggara kasse inte aawatas yootidayssi tumakko.
26 Go to your fellow Israelites and tell them, ‘You repeatedly listen [to the message of God], but you never understand [what God is saying]. You repeatedly look at and see [the things that God is doing], but you never understand [what they mean].
Izi yootida qaalay hizzges (Hayssa deerakko baada inte sissi siyana shin yushshi qoppekista, ayfera beeyana shin wozinan woththekista gaada yoota.
27 God also said to the prophet, These people do not understand, because they have become stubborn. They have ears, but they do not understand what they hear, and they have closed their eyes [because they do not want to see]. If they wanted to obey what I say to them, they might understand what they see [me doing] and what they hear [me saying]. Then they might turn from their sinful behavior and I would save them.’
Gasooykka he asata wozinay mumides, istta hayththeykka tuullides; istta ayfey qoqides. Hessaththo hanonttakko istti ba ayfera beeydi ba heyththera siyidi ba wozinan yushshi qoppidi taakko ha simmanane takka istta paththanashin.)
28 [That is what God said to the prophet Isaiah about our ancestors. But you Jews today do not want to believe God’s message]. Therefore, I am telling you that [God] has sent to the non-Jews this message about how he saves people, and they will listen [and accept it]!”
Histtikko Xoosi asi ashshiza kittay ayhuda gidoontta deretaskka kitteetdayssa inte errit; Isttikka erro giidi ekkettes.”
Phawulossay hessa yootidappe guye Ayhuda asati ba garssan daroo pallametishe kezi bida.
30 For two whole years Paul stayed [there] in a house that he rented. Many people came to see him, and he received them all gladly [and talked with them].
Phawulossay kiratida keeththan nam77u laythth kumethth de7ides; Beekko yiza asa wursii mokki ekkides.
31 He preached [and taught people] about how God could rule [their lives] [MET] and taught them about the Lord Jesus Christ. He did that without being afraid, and no one tried to stop him.
Xoossa kawooteth sabbakkon Goda Yesuss Kiristtossa gish oonikka iza diggontta xalatethara asa taamarisides.
