Acts 4
1 [Meanwhile, in the temple courtyard, there were some] priests, the officer who was in charge of the temple police, and [also some] [SYN] Sadducee [sect members]. These men came to Peter and John while the two of them were speaking to the people.
Phexiroosinne Yohaannisi asaas odishin kahine halaqati, Xoossa Keethaa naageyssata halaqaynne Saduqaaweti enttako yidosona.
2 These men were very angry, because the [two] apostles were teaching the people [about Jesus]. What they were telling the people was that because ([God caused Jesus to become alive again/God raised] Jesus [from the dead]), [God] would cause other people who had died to become alive again.
Entti Yesuusi hayqoppe denddoyssanne iya gaason hayqoppe denddoy de7eyssa asaa tamaarssida gisho yilotidosona.
3 So those officials seized Peter and John. Then they put them in jail. [They had to wait] until the next day [to question Peter and John], because it was already evening [and it was contrary to their Jewish law to question people at night].
Hessa gisho, entta oykkidi sa7ay omarssida gisho wonttana gakkanaw qasho keethi gelssidosona.
4 However, many people who had heard the message [from Peter] believed [in Jesus]. (OR, But many people had [already] believed [in Jesus, because] they had heard the message [from Peter].) So the number of men [who believed in Jesus] increased to about five 5,000.
Shin qaala si7idayssatappe daroti ammanidosona. Ammanida adde asaa tayboy ichchashu mukulukko bis.
5 The next day [the supreme priest summoned] the [other] chief priests, the teachers of the [Jewish] laws, and the other members [of the Jewish Council, and they] gathered together [in one place] in Jerusalem.
Wonttetha gallas deriya haareyssati, cimatinne, higge asttamaareti Yerusalaamen shiiqidosona.
6 Annas, [the former] supreme priest, Caiaphas [who was the new supreme priest], [two other former supreme priests whose names were] John and Alexander, and other men who were related to the supreme priest [were there].
He asa giddon kahine halaqay Haanni, Qayyaafi, Yohaannisi, Iskkinddirosinne kahine halaqaa soo asati ubbay de7oosona.
7 They [commanded guards to] bring Peter and John into the courtroom [MTY] and have them stand in front of them. [Then one of] the leaders questioned [the two of] them, saying, “Who [do you two claim] gave you the power [to heal this man]? And who authorized [MTY] you to do this [DOU]?”
Hawaareta bantta sinthan essidi, “Aybi wolqqan woykko oode sunthan hayssa hintte oothidetii?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
8 So as the Holy Spirit completely controlled Peter, he said to them, “You [fellow Israelites] who rule us and [all of you other] elders, [listen]!
He wode Phexiroosi Geeshsha Ayyaanan kumidi, “Deriya haareyssato, cimatoo,
9 Today you are questioning us concerning our doing something good for a man who was crippled, and you asked us how he was healed.
hachchi ha wobbe addiyaas oosettida lo77o oosuwasinne I waanidi paxidaakko hintte nuna oychchiko,
10 So [we(exc) want] you and all [of our other] fellow Israelites to know this: It is because Jesus the Messiah [MTY] from Nazareth healed this man that he is able to stand here. [God considers that] it was you who nailed Jesus to a cross, but God caused him to become alive again.
masqaliya bolla hintte kaqqin, Xoossay hayqoppe denthida Naazirete Yesuus Kiristtoosa sunthan ha addey paxidi hintte sinthan eqqidayssi hinttewunne Isra7eele asa ubbaas eretto.
11 [In the Psalms this was written about the Messiah: ] He is [like] [MET] the stone that was rejected by the builders {that the builders rejected}. But that stone became the most important stone in the building [that they were building]. [Jesus is that stone, and] you [are those builders who threw away the stone that was the most important one].
‘Gimbbeyssati boridi ixxida shuchchay, godaa xaphuwa minthiya, ubbaafe aadhdhiya shuchchu gidis; he shuchchay Yesuusa.’
12 So he alone can save us [MTY]. [God] has sent only one person [MTY] into the world who can save us [from the guilt of our sins, and that person is Jesus]!”
Hessa gisho, atotethi iya baggarappe attin hara oode baggarakka baawa. Nuuni iya sunthan attana mela asa ubbaas Xoossay saloppe garssan immida hara sunthi baawa” yaagis.
13 The [Jewish leaders] realized that Peter and John (were not afraid [of them]/spoke boldly). They also learned that the two men were ordinary people who had not studied in schools. So the leaders were amazed, and they realized that these men had associated with Jesus.
Shiiqida asay Phexiroosinne Yohaannisi minnida minotethaa be7ida wode entti tamaariboonna coo asi gididayssa akeekidi malaalettidosona; entti Yesuusara de7eyssa eridosona.
14 They also saw the man who had been healed standing there with [the two of] them, so they were not able to say anything [to oppose Peter and John].
Qassi paxida addey Phexiroosaranne Yohaannisara eqqidayssa asay be7idi giyabaa dhayidosona.
15 So the [Jewish leaders] commanded [guards] to take Peter, John, and the man outside of the room [where those leaders were meeting. After they did so], the leaders talked with each other [about Peter and John].
Shin Phexiroosanne Yohaannisa kare keyana mela oothidi bantta giddon,
16 [Being frustrated, one after another], they said, “(There is really nothing that we can do to [punish] these [two] men!/How can we [(inc)] do anything to [punish] these [two] men?) [RHQ] Almost everyone [HYP] who is living in Jerusalem knows that they have done an amazing miracle, so we cannot tell people that it did not happen!
“Ha asata nu ay oothinoo? Entta kushen oosettida gita malaatay Yerusalaamen de7iya ubbaas benttees. Nuuni hessa erokko gaanaw dandda7okko.
17 However, [we] must not allow other people to hear about [this miracle]. So we must tell these men that [we will punish them if they] continue to tell other people about this [MTY] man [who they say gave them the power to do it].”
Shin ha oday asaa giddon laalettonna mela hizappe guye ha asati Yesuusa sunthan oodeskka odonna mela minthidi naagisana” yaagidi zorettidosona.
18 So the Jewish leaders [commanded guards] to bring the two apostles [into that room again. After they did so], they [commanded] them both that they should never speak about Jesus, and they should not teach [anyone about him] [MTY] [again].
Entta xeegidi, Yesuusa sunthan hizappe odonna mela woykko tamaarssonna mela kiittidosona.
19 But Peter and John replied, “Would God think that it is right [for us two] to obey you and not [to obey] him? [We(exc) will let] you decide [which of those you think is proper].
Shin Phexiroosinne Yohaannisi enttako zaaridi, “Xoossas kiitettanayssafenne hinttew kiitetanayssafe Xoossaa sinthan awussi lo77oko ane hintte pirddite.
20 [But as for us, we cannot obey you]. We will not stop telling people about the things that we [(exc)] have seen [Jesus do] and what we have heard [him teach].”
Nuuni be7idabaanne si7idabaa odonna agganaw dandda7okko” yaagidosona.
21 Then the [Jewish leaders] again told [Peter and John] not to disobey them. But all the people [there] were praising God about what had happened [to the lame man. The leaders knew that only God could have enabled Peter and John] to miraculously heal the man, because the man was more than 40 years old [and he was lame when his mother bore him. They also knew that the people would become angry if they punished the two apostles]. So, because they could not decide how to punish Peter and John, [they finally] let them go.
Biitta cimatinne deriya haareyssati kaseppe minthi naagisidi entta yeddi aggidosona. Asay hanidabaas Xoossaa galatiya gisho entta seeranaw dandda7ibookkona.
He malaatan harggiyafe pathida addiyaas laythay oytamappe aadhdhis.
23 After Peter and John had been released, they went to the other believers and reported all that the chief priests and [other Jewish] elders had said to them.
Phexiroosinne Yohaannisi birshshettidi bantta dabbotakko bidi, kahine halaqatinne cimati banttako gidabaa ubbaa enttaw odidosona.
24 When they heard that, they [all] agreed as they prayed to God, and [one of] them prayed, “O Lord! You [(sg)] made the sky, the earth and the oceans, and everything in them.
Entti hessa si7ida wode issi wozanan gididi Xoossaa hayssada yaagidi woossidosona: “Ubbaa Haariya Godaw, saluwa, sa7aa, abbaanne entta giddon de7iya ubbabaa medhdhidaysso,
25 The Holy Spirit caused our ancestor, [King] David [MTY], who served you, to write these words: [It is ridiculous] [RHQ] that the non-Jews became angry and the Israelite people planned uselessly [to oppose God].
Neeni ne aylliya, nu aawa Dawite doonan Geeshsha Ayyaanan, ‘Derey ays yilotidonaa? Asay ays coo maqettidonaa?
26 The kings of the world prepared to fight [God’s Ruler], and the [other] rulers assembled together [with them] to oppose the Lord [God] and the one whom he had appointed [to be the Messiah].
Sa7aa kawotinne deriya haareyssati issife Godaa bollanne Kiristtoosa bolla denddidosona’ yaagadasa.
27 [Lord, we know that what you(sg) said long ago was true], because [King] Herod and the [governor], Pontius Pilate, and many other people, both non-Jews and Israelites, assembled together [here] in this city. [They] planned [to kill] Jesus, who devotedly served you [and] whom you appointed [MTY] [to be the Messiah].
“Tumakka, Heerodisinne Phenxe Philaaxoosi Ayhude gidonna asaaranne Isra7eele asaara ne doorida ne geeshsha Na7aa Yesuusa bolla denddanaw ha kataman shiiqidosona.
28 [Because] you [(sg)] are all-powerful, those people did [only] what you [SYN] allowed [them to do]. It was what you decided long ago would happen.”
Qassi neeni ne wolqqaaninne ne sheniyan oothana gada qoppa uttidabaa ubbaa polidosona.
29 “So now, Lord, listen to what they are saying about punishing us! Help us who serve you [(sg)] to very boldly speak messages from you [(sg) about Jesus]
Ha77ika Godaw, entta manddethaa be7a; nuuni ne aylleti ne qaala kumetha wozanan odana mela nuna dandda7isa.
30 [Also], by your power [MTY] miraculously heal [sick people] and do other amazing miracles [SYN] that show people your power! Ask Jesus, who always serves you, [to give us the authority] [MTY] [to do such miracles]!”
Ne geeshsha na7aa Yesuusa sunthan hargganchchota pathanaw, oorathabaynne malaatati oosettana mela ne kushiya micca” gidi woossidosona.
31 When the believers had finished praying, the place where they were meeting shook. All of them were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of them}, with the result that they began to speak boldly the words that God [told them to speak].
Entti Xoossaa woossidaappe guye he entti shiiqidasoy qaaxxis. Entta ubban Geeshsha Ayyaanay kumin Xoossaa qaala minotethan odidosona.
32 The group of people who had believed [in Jesus] were completely agreed about what they thought and what they wanted/desired. Not one of them claimed that he [alone] owned anything. Instead, they shared with one another everything that they had.
Ammaneysati ubbay qofaninne wozanan issino gididosona. Entti banttaw de7iyabaa tabaa goonnashin issife shaakettoosona.
33 The apostles continued to tell others, very powerfully, [that God] had (caused the Lord Jesus to become alive again/raised the Lord Jesus from the dead). [People knew that God] was graciously helping all the believers.
Hawaarti Godaa Yesuusi hayqoppe denddidayssa gita wolqqan markkattosona. Xoossay entta ubbaas aadho keehatethaa darssidi immis.
34 [Some of] the believers who owned land or houses would occasionally sell [some of] their property. Then they would bring [the money for what they sold]
Biitti woykko keethi de7eyssati ubbay bayzi ekkida miishiya ehiya gisho ammaneyssata giddon metootanchchoy issoykka baawa.
35 and they would present it to the apostles [MTY]. Then [the apostles] would give money to any [believer] who needed [it]. So no one among the believers was lacking anything.
Miishiya ehidi hawaaretas immoosona; he miishiya asaas koshshidayssada issuwas issuwas shaakki shaakki immees.
36 [For example, there was] Joseph. [He was] a descendant of Levi [and he was born] on Cyprus [Island]. The apostles called him Barnabas; [in the Jewish language] that name means a person who [IDM] always encourages [others].
Qoophirosa giya bessan yelettida Yoosefa giya Leewi sheeshaappe gidida issoy de7ees. Iya sunthaa hawaareti Barnnabaasa (Minthetho na7a) gidosona.
37 He sold one of his fields, and brought the money to the apostles [for them to distribute to other believers].
Barnnabaasi baw de7iya biittaa bayzidi miishiya ehidi hawaaretas immis.
