Acts 10
1 There was then in Caesarea a man named Cornelius, a Captain in the regiment known as the ‘Italian Regiment,’
Qisaariyan, “Xaale ola asata” geetettiya olanchchota giddon issi Qornneliyoosa geetettiya mato halaqay de7ees.
2 A religious man and one who reverenced God, with all his household. He was liberal in his charities to the people, and prayed to God constantly.
Qornneliyoosi ba soo asaara Xoossaa minthi ammaniyaa asinne Xoossas goynniya asi. Ayhude manqotakka daro maaddees, qassi Xoossaa ubba wode woossees.
3 One afternoon, about three o’clock, he distinctly saw in a vision an angel from God come to him, and call him by name.
Issi gallas uddufun saate heeran Xoossaa kiitanchchoy iyaakko yidi, “Qornneliyoosaa” gidi xeegishin I qonccethan geeshshidi be7is.
4 Cornelius fixed his eyes on him and, in great alarm, said: “What is it, Lord?” “Your prayers and your charities,” the angel answered, “have been an acceptable offering to God.
Qornneliyoosi dagammidi kiitanchchuwa tishshi oothi xeellidi, “Godaw, I aybee?” yaagis. Kiitanchchoy zaaridi, “Ne woosaynne manqota ne maaddeyssi Xoossaa sinthan hassayettis.
5 And now, send messengers to Jaffa and fetch a man called Simon, who is also known as Peter.
Ha77i Yoophe ase kiittada, Phexiroosa giya Simoona ehisa.
6 He is lodging with a tanner named Simon, who has a house near the sea.”
Phexiroosi abbaa doonan galbba haashiya Simoona son imathatethi siiratis” yaagis.
7 When the angel, who had spoken to him, had gone, Cornelius called two menservants and a religious soldier, who was one of his constant attendants,
Qornneliyoosi baw odida kiitanchchoy bin, ba aylletappe nam77atanne Xoossaa goynniya ba mata wotaaddaretappe issuwa xeegidi,
8 and, after telling them the whole story, sent them to Jaffa.
enttaw ubbabaa odidi Yoophe kiittis.
9 On the next day, while these men were on their way, just as they were nearing the town, Peter went up on the housetop about mid-day to pray.
Wonttetha gallas entti bidi, Yoophe katama matishin usuppun saate heeran Xoossaa woossanaw Phexiroosi pooqe bolla keys.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat; but while it was being prepared, he fell into a trance,
I koshattidi kathi maanaw koyis, shin kathi kaxishin I qonccethi be7is.
11 and saw that the heavens were open, and that something like a great sail was descending, let down by its four corners towards the earth.
Saloy dooyettin, gita afila daaniyabay oyddu baggara oykettidi wodhdhishin I be7is.
12 In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles, and birds.
Iyan oyddu tohora de7iya meheti, wora do7ati, ulora gooshettiya medhetethatinne salo kafoti ubbay de7ees.
13 Then he was aware of a voice which said — “Stand up, Peter, kill something, and eat.”
He wode, “Phexiroosaa, dendda eqqada shukkada ma” giya qaalay iyaakko yis.
14 “No, Lord, I cannot,” answered Peter, “for I have never eaten anything ‘defiled’ and ‘unclean’.”
Shin Phexiroosi, “Godaw, akkay! Ta tunabaa ubbarakka ma erikke” yaagis.
15 Again he was aware of a voice which said — “What God has pronounced ‘clean’, do not regard as ‘defiled’.”
Qassi, “Xoossay geeshshidayssa neeni tuna gooppa” giya qaalay nam77antho iyaakko yis.
16 This happened three times, and then suddenly it was all taken up into the heavens.
Hessika, heedzu toho hanidaappe guye he gita afila daaneyssi ellesidi pude salo ekettis.
17 While Peter was still perplexed as to the meaning of the vision that he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius, having enquired the way to Simon’s house, came up to the gate,
Phexiroosi ba be7ida qonccethaa birshshethay, “Ay gidanddeshsha?” gidi ba wozanan qoppishin, Qornneliyoosi kiittida asati Simoona soo oychchi demmidi karen eqqidosona.
18 and called out and asked if the Simon, who was also known as Peter, was lodging there.
Bantta qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Phexiroosa geetettiya Simoona giya imathay hayssan de7ii?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
19 Peter was still pondering over the vision, when the Spirit said to him: “There are two men looking for you at this moment.
Phexiroosi qonccethan be7idabaa qofa bolla de7ishin, Geeshsha Ayyaanay iyaakko, “Hekko, heedzu asati nena koyoosona.
20 Go down at once and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”
Denddada wodhdha, taani entta kiittida gisho sidhonna enttara ba” yaagis.
21 Peter went down to the men and said: “I am the man for whom you are looking. What is your reason for coming?”
Phexiroosi asatakko wodhdhidi, “Hintte koyey tana; ays yidetii?” yaagis.
22 The men replied: “Our captain, Cornelius, a pious man who reverences God and is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, has been instructed by a holy angel to send for you to his house, and to listen to what you have to say.”
Entti zaaridi, “Nuna mato halaqay Qornneliyoosi kiittis. I xillo, Xoossaa goynniya asinne Ayhude asa ubban daro bonchchettida asi. Qornneliyoosi, nena ba soo ehisidi qaala neeppe si7ana mela geeshsha kiitanchchoy iyaw odis” yaagidosona.
23 Upon this Peter invited them in and entertained them. The next day he lost no time in setting out with them, accompanied by some of the Brethren from Jaffa;
Phexiroosi asata soo gelssidi mokkis. Wonttetha gallas, denddidi enttara bis. Yoophe kataman de7iya ammaneyssatappe issoti issoti iyara issife bidosona.
24 and the day following he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them, and had invited his relations and intimate friends to meet them.
Wonttetha gallas, Qisaariya gakkidosona. Qornneliyoosi ba dabbotanne ba mata laggeta issife xeegi shiishidi, Phexiroosa naagees.
25 So, when Peter entered the city, Cornelius met him, and, throwing himself at Peter’s feet, bowed to the ground.
Phexiroosi soo gelana hanishin, Qornneliyoosi iyara gayttidi iya sinthan kunddidi iyaw goynnanaw koyis.
26 Peter, however, lifted him up, saying as he did so: “Stand up, I am only a man like yourself.”
Shin Phexiroosi, “Dendda, takka ta huu7en ne mela ase” yaagidi iya denthis.
27 Talking with him as he went, Peter entered the house, where he found a large gathering of people, to whom he said:
Phexiroosi Qornneliyoosara odettishe soo geliya wode daro asay shiiqidayssa demmis.
28 “You are doubtless aware that it is forbidden for a Jew to be intimate with a foreigner, or even to enter his house; and yet God has shown me that I ought not to call any man ‘defiled’ or ‘unclean.’
I asaakko, “Ayhude asi hara derera issifanaw woykko gayttanaw woga gidonnayssa hintte ereeta. Shin taani oonakka tuna woykko geeshshi gidenna goonna mela Xoossay tana bessis.
29 That was why I came, when I was sent for, without raising any objection. And now I ask your reason for sending for me.”
Hessa gisho, hintte taakko kiittin ixoy baynna yas. Ha77i tana ays xeegisidaakko taw odite” yaagis.
30 “Just three days ago this very hour,” Cornelius said, “I was in my house, saying the Afternoon Prayers, when a man in dazzling clothing suddenly stood before me.
Qornneliyoosi, “Taani hachchi oyddu gallasappe kase hanoode uddufun saate woosa woossishin, phooliya ma7o ma77ida asi ta sinthan eqqis.
31 ‘Cornelius,’ he said, ‘your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been accepted, by God.
I taakko, ‘Qornneliyoosa, Xoossay ne woosaa si7is, neeni manqota maaddidayssaka hassays.
32 Therefore send to Jaffa, and invite the Simon, who is also known as Peter, to come here. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea.’
Hiza, ase Yoophe kiittada, Simoon Phexiroosa geyssa xeegisa. Simoon Phexiroosi Simoona giya galbba haashiya uraa son abbaa doonan siiratis’ yaagis.
33 Accordingly I sent to you at once, and you have been so good as to come. And now we are all here in the presence of God, to listen to all that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.”
Hessa gisho, taani neekko ellesada kiittas; ne lo77o yadasa. Hiza, Xoossay nena Kiittidaba ubbaa si7anaw ha77i nuuni ubbay hayssan Godaa sinthan de7oos” yaagis.
34 Then Peter began. “I see, beyond all doubt,” he said, “that ‘God does not show partiality,’
Kaallidikka, Phexiroosi, “Xoossay asa som77o be7idi ase asappe shaakkenna.
35 But that in every nation he who reverences him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
Shin ase ubbaa oona gidikkoka baw yayyeyssanne xillo ooso ootheyssan Xoossay ufaytteyssa taani tuma akeekas.
36 God has sent his Message to the Israelites and told them, through Jesus Christ, the Good News of peace — and Jesus is Lord of all!
Xoossay, ubbaa Goda gidida Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara sarotethaa odishe ha Wonggelaa Isra7eele asaas kiittidayssa hintte ereeta.
37 You yourselves know the story which spread through all Judea, how, beginning form Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed —
Yohaannisi xinqqatebaa Galiilan sabbakida wodiyappe doomidi Yihuda biitta ubbaa gakkanaw hanidabaa hintte ereeta.
38 The story, I mean, of Jesus of Nazareth, and how God consecrated him his Christ by enduing him with the Holy Spirit and with power; and how he went about doing good and curing all who were under the power of the Devil, because God was with him.
Xoossay Naazirete Yesuusas Geeshsha Ayyaananne wolqqaa immis. Xoossay iyara de7iya gisho lo77obaa I oothishe Xalahe kushen haarettida ubbaa pathishe yuuyis.
39 We are ourselves, too, witnesses to all that he did in Judea and in Jerusalem; yet they put him to death by hanging him on a cross!
“Ayhude biittaninne Yerusalaamen I oothida ubbabaas nuuni markkatta. Entti masqaliya bolla kaqqidi iya wodhidosona.
40 This Jesus God raised on the third day, and enabled him to appear,
Shin Xoossay heedzantho gallasan hayqoppe iya denthidi asaas qonccana mela oothis.
41 not indeed to every one, but to witnesses chosen beforehand by God — to us, who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead.
He qonccethay Xoossay koyro doorida markkatassafe attin asa ubbaas gidenna. I hayqoppe denddidaappe guye iyara midanne uyida.
42 Further, God charged us to proclaim to the people, and solemnly affirm, that it is Jesus who has been appointed by God Judge of the living and the dead.
Xoossay Wonggelaa asaas nuuni odana melanne paxa de7eyssata bollanne hayqqidayssata bolla pirddanaw shuumettiday Yesuusa gideyssa markkattana mela nuna kiittis.
43 To him it is that all the Prophets bear witness, when they say that every one who believes in him receives through his Name forgiveness of sins.”
Xoossay iya ammaniyaa ubbaa nagaray, iya sunthan atto geetetteyssa nabeti markkattoosona” yaagis.
44 Before Peter had finished saying these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the Message.
Phexiroosi buroo he oda onggonnashin qaala si7iya ubbaa bolla Geeshsha Ayyaanay wodhdhis.
45 Those converts from Judaism, who had come with Peter, were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been bestowed even upon the Gentiles;
Phexiroosara Yoophefe yida ammaniyaa qaxxarettida Ayhude ubbay, Ayhude gidonnayssati bolla Geeshsha Ayyaanay gukkida gisho malaalettidosona.
46 for they heard them speaking with ‘tongues’ and extolling God. At this Peter asked:
Gaasoykka, entti dumma dumma doonan haasayishininne Xoossaa gitatethaa sabbishin si7idosona. He wode Phexiroosi zaaridi,
47 “Can any one refuse the water for the baptism of these people, now that they have received the Holy Spirit as we did ourselves?”
“Hayssati qassi nu mela Geeshsha Ayyaana ekkidayssati xammaqettonna mela haathe digganay oonee?” yaagis.
48 And he directed that they should be baptized in the Faith of Jesus Christ; after which they asked him to stay there a few days longer.
Entti Yesuus Kiristtoosa sunthan xammaqettana mela entta kiittis. Hessafe guye, entti banttara guutha gallas uttana mela Phexiroosa woossidosona.
