Acts 13
1 Among the members of the Church at Antioch there were several Prophets and Teachers — Barnabas, Simeon who was known by the name of ‘Black’, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, foster-brother of Prince Herod, and Saul.
Anxookiyan de7iya woosa keethan nabetinne asttamaareti de7oosona. Entti Barnnabaasa, Kareethi geetettiya Simoona, Qerenappe yida Luukiyosa, Kawuwa Heroodisara diccida Minaahenne Saa7ola.
2 While they were engaged in the worship of the Lord and were fasting, the Holy Spirit said: “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.”
Entti Godaa goynnishininne xoomishin Geeshsha Ayyaanay, “Taani xeegida oosuwas Barnnabaasanne Saa7ola taw dummayite” yaagis.
3 Accordingly, after fasting and prayer, they placed their hands on them and dismissed them.
Hessa gisho, entti xoomidaappenne woossidaappe guye bantta kushiya entta bolla wothidi yeddidosona.
4 Barnabas and Saul, sent on this mission, as they were, by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there sailed to Cyprus.
Hessa gisho, Geeshsha Ayyaanay entta kiittis. Selewuqe bidosona; yaappe markkaben gelidi Qoophirosa haathan teqettida biitta bidosona.
5 On reaching Salamis, they began to tell the Message of God in the Jewish Synagogues; and they had John with them as an assistant.
Entti Silmmaana gakkidi Ayhude Woosa Keethatan Xoossaa qaala odidosona. Yohaannisi maaddishe enttara de7ees.
6 After passing through the whole island, they reached Paphos, where they found an astrologer who pretended to be a Prophet — a Jew by birth, whose name was Barjoshua.
Entti Qoophirosa haathan teqettida biittaa kanthidi Phaafu gakkiya wode issi worddanchcho nabiya Bar-Yesuusa giya Ayhude maruwa demmidosona.
7 He was at the court of the Governor, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who sent for Barnabas and Saul and asked to be told God’s Message.
He maroy deriya aysiya Sarggiyoos Phawuloosa giya akeekanchcho addiyara de7ees. Sarggiyoos Phawuloosi Barnnabaasanne Saa7ola baakko xeegidi Xoossaa qaala si7anaw koyis.
8 But Elymas, the astrologer (for that is the meaning of the word), opposed them, eager to divert the Governor’s attention from the Faith.
Shin Girike doonan maruwa sunthay “Elimaasa” geetettees. I deriya haareyssi ammanonna mela digganaw koyidi Barnnabaasaranne Phawuloosara eqettis.
9 However, Saul (who is the same as Paul), full of the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him and said:
Shin Phawuloosa giya Saa7oli Geeshsha Ayyaanan kumidi maruwa caddi xeellidi,
10 “You incarnation of deceit and all fraud! You son of the Devil! You opponent of all that is good! Will you never cease to divert ‘the straight paths of the Lord’? Listen!
“La, Xalahe na7aw, iitatethi ubbay kumidaysso, xillotetha ubbaas morkkiyaw, suure Godaa ogiya mirqeyssa aggikii?
11 The hand of the Lord is upon you even now, and you will be blind for a time and unable to see the sun.” Immediately a mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went feeling about for some one to guide him.
Hekko, ha77i Godaa kushey ne bolla de7ees. Neeni qooqe gidana; guutha wodes awa poo7o be7akka” yaagis. Iira caaganaynne dhumay iya ayfiyaa goozin, ba kushiya oykkidi kaalethiya asi koyishe yuuyis.
12 When the Governor saw what had happened, he became a believer in Christ, being greatly impressed by the teaching about the Lord.
Deriya ayseyssi hessa be7ida wode Godaaba tamaarsseysan malaalettidi ammanis.
13 After this, Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
Phawuloosinne iyara de7eyssati Phaafuppe denddidi, Phinfiliyan de7iya Phergge markkabera bidosona. Yohaannisi enttafe shaakettidi Yerusalaame simmis.
14 The others went on from Perga and arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. There they went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath and took their seats.
Shin entti Pherggefe aadhdhidi Phisidiyan de7iya Anxookiya gakkidosona. Sambbaata gallas Ayhude Woosa Keethi gelidi uttidosona.
15 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the President of the Synagogue sent them this message — “Brothers, if you have any helpful words to address to the people, now is the time to speak.”
Muse higgeynne nabeta maxaafay nabbabettidaappe guye Ayhude Woosa Keetha halaqati, “Nu ishato, asaa minthethiya qaali hinttew de7iyakko asaas oderkketii” yaagidi enttako kiittidosona.
16 So Paul rose and, motioning with his hand, spoke as follows: “Men of Israel and all here who reverence God, hear what I have to say.
Phawuloosi denddi eqqidi ba kushe mallidi, “Isra7eele asatonne, Xoossaa goynniya Ayhude gidonna asaw, si7ite.
17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, and during their stay in Egypt increased the prosperity of the people, and then ‘with uplifted arm brought them out from that land.’
Ha Isra7eele asaa Xoossay nu mayzata dooris. Gibxe biittan imathatethan entti de7ishin, entta darssidi ba gita wolqqan Gibxe biittaafe entta kessis.
18 For about forty years ‘he bore with them in the Desert’;
Bazzo biittan oytamu laytha mela entta dandda7is.
19 then, after destroying seven heathen nations in Canaan, he allotted their land to this people —
Kanaane giya biittan Ayhude gidonna laappun kawotethata diggidi entta biittaa ba asaa laatisis.
20 For about four hundred and fifty years. In later times he gave them Judges, of whom the Prophet Samuel was the last.
Hessafe guye, nabiya Saamu7eela wode gakkanaw oyddu xeetanne ishatamu laytha mela aysiya daynnata enttaw immis.
21 And, when they demanded a king, God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, who reigned for forty years.
Hessafe guye, entti banttaw kawo immana mela woossin, Xoossay Biniyame sheeshaappe Qiise na7aa, Saa7ola oytamu laythi kawotana mela enttaw immis.
22 After removing him, he raised David to the throne, and bore this testimony to him — ‘In David, the son of Jesse, I have found a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my purposes.’
Xoossay Saa7ola shaaridaappe guye entta bolla Dawite kawothis. Xoossay Dawitebaa markkattishe, ‘Taani koyaa ubbaa ta wozanaa mela oothiya Isseyye na7aa Dawite demmas’ yaagis.
23 It was from this man’s descendants that God, in accordance with his promise, gave Israel a Saviour — Jesus;
“Xoossay, ‘Taani Dawite sheeshaappe Isra7eele deriya ashsheyssa ehana’ gidayssa mela Yesuusa ehis.
24 John having first proclaimed, before the appearance of Jesus, a baptism upon repentance for all the people of Israel.
Yesuusi yaanappe sinthe Isra7eele asay ubbay bantta nagaraappe simmidi xammaqettana mela Yohaannisi qaala odis.
25 As John was drawing towards the end of his career, he said what do you suppose that I am? I am not the Christ. But there is “One Coming” after me, whose very sandal I am not worthy to untie.’
Qassi Yohaannisi ba oosuwa wurssana hanishe asaakko, ‘Tana oona gidi qoppeetii? Taani hintte naagiya Kiristtoosa gidikke, shin taani iya caammaa birshshanaw taw bessonnayssi taappe guyera yees’ yaagis.
26 Brothers, descendants of Abraham, and all those among you who reverence God, it was to us that the Message of this Salvation was sent.
“Ishato, Abrahaame sheeshatoo, qassi hayssan Ayhude gidonnashin Xoossas yayyeyssato, ha atotethaa qaalay nuus kiitettis.
27 The people of Jerusalem and their leading men, failing to recognise Jesus, and not understanding the utterances of the Prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Ays giikko, Yerusalaamen de7iya asaynne entta halaqati Yesuusa eribookkona. Sambbaata ubban nabbabettiya nabeta qaala akeekiboonna gisho iya bolla pirddidi nabeti odida qaala polidosona.
28 They found no ground at all for putting him to death, and yet demanded his execution from Pilate;
Yesuusa wodhisanaw issi gaasoykka enttaw dhayin Philaaxoosi iya wodhana mela woossidosona.
29 and, after carrying out everything written about him, they took Jesus down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.
Entti Yesuusabay Geeshsha Maxaafan xaafettidaba ubbaa polida wode masqaliyappe iya wodhisidi moogidosona.
30 But God raised him from the dead;
Shin Xoossay hayqoppe Yesuusa denthis.
31 and he appeared for many days to those who had gone up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and who are now witnesses for him to the people.
Hessafe guye, I baara Galiilappe Yerusalaame yidayssatas daro toho benttis. Entti ha77i iyabaa asaas markkattoosona.
32 We also have good news to tell you, about the promise made to our ancestors —
“Xoossay nu aawatas immana gida Wonggelaa nuuni hinttew odoos.
33 That our children have had this promise completely fulfilled to them by God, by his raising Jesus. That is just what is said in the second Psalm — ‘Thou art my Son; this day I have become thy Father.’
Dawitey ba Mazmure Maxaafan nam77antho shemppuwan, ‘Neeni, ta Na7a, taani hachchi nena yelas’ geetettidi xaafettidayssa Yesuusa, Xoossay hayqoppe denthidi nu mayzatas immana gidayssa nuus entta naytas polis.
34 As to his raising Jesus from the dead, never again to return to corruption, this is what is said — ‘I will give to you the sacred promises made to David;’
I wooqonna mela Xoossay hayqoppe iya denthon erisanaw, ‘Taani Dawites immana gida ammanettida geeshsha anjjuwaa hinttew immana’ yaagidi odis.
35 And, therefore, in another Psalm it is said — ‘Thou wilt not give up the Holy One to undergo corruption.’
Hessa gisho, Mazmure Maxaafan harason qassi, ‘Ne Geeshsha Na7aa ahaa wooqisakka’ yaagees.
36 David, after obediently doing God’s will in his own time, ‘fell asleep and was laid by the side of his ancestors, and did undergo corruption;
“Dawitey ba wode Xoossaa qofaa polidaappe guye hayqqidi ba aawatara moogettidi wooqis.
37 but Jesus, whom God raised from the dead, did not undergo corruption.
Shin Xoossay hayqoppe denthidayssi wooqibeenna.
38 I would, therefore, have you know, brothers, that through Jesus forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,
“Hessa gisho, ta ishato, nagara atotethay Yesuusa baggara kasetidi hinttew odettidayssa erite. Muse higgey nagaraappe xillisanaw dandda7enna.
39 and that, in union with him, every one who believes in him is absolved from every sin from which under the Law of Moses you could not be absolved.
Shin Yesuusa ammaniyaa ubbay nagaraappe xillees.
40 Beware, therefore, that what is said in the Prophets does not come true of you —
Hessa gisho, nabeti gidayssi hintte bolla gakkonna mela naagettite.
41 ‘Look, you despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I am doing a deed in your days — A deed which, though told you in full, you will never believe’.”
‘Xoossay gidabaa leeqiseyssato! Be7ite! Malaalettite! Dhayite! oonikka odin, hintte ammanonna oosuwa taani hintte wodiyan oothana’ yaagidosona” yaagis.
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the Synagogue, the people begged for a repetition of this teaching on the next Sabbath.
Phawuloosinne Barnnabaasi Ayhude Woosa keethafe keyishin, kaalliya Sambbaatan hessa gujjidi odana mela asay enttana woossidosona.
43 After the congregation had dispersed, many of the Jews, and of the converts who joined in their worship, followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue to rely upon the loving-kindness of God.
Shiiqoy laalettidayssafe guye daro Ayhudetinne Ayhudeta ammanuwan gelidi Xoossaa yayyiya daroti Phawuloosanne Barnnabaasa kaallidosona. Ammanidayssati Xoossaa aadho keehatethan minnidi daana mela entta zoridosona.
44 On the following Sabbath, almost all the city gathered to hear God’s Message.
Kaalliya Sambbaatan kataman de7iya asaappe daroti Xoossaa qaala si7anaw shiiqidosona.
45 But the sight of the crowds of people filled the minds of the Jews with jealousy, and they kept contradicting Paul’s statements in violent language.
Shin Ayhudeti daro asaa be7ida wode Phawuloosa qanaattidi iya haasaya ixxidi iya cayidosona.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out fearlessly, and said: “It was necessary that the Message of God should be told to you first; but, since you reject it and reckon yourselves not worthy of the Immortal Life — we turn to the Gentiles! (aiōnios g166)
Phawuloosinne Barnnabaasi yayyonna, “Xoossaa qaalay koyrottidi hinttew odettanaw koshshees. Shin hintte qaala ixxidi merinaa de7uwa ekkanaw nuus bessenna gidi hinttee, hintte huu7en pirddida gisho hiza nuuni Ayhude gidonnayssatakko simmos. (aiōnios g166)
47 For this is the Lord’s command to us — ‘I have destined thee for a Light to the Gentiles, A means of Salvation to the ends of the earth’.”
Gaasoykka Goday, ‘Alame kumethay ne baggara attana mela, taani nena Ayhude gidonna deriyas poo7o oothas’ yaagidi nuna kiittis” yaagidosona.
48 On hearing this, the Gentiles were glad and extolled God’s Message; and all those who had been enrolled for Immortal Life became believers in Christ; (aiōnios g166)
Ayhude gidonnayssati hessa si7ida wode ufayttidi Xoossaa qaala bonchchidosona. Qassi merinaa de7uwas doorettida ubbay ammanidosona. (aiōnios g166)
49 and the Lord’s Message was carried throughout that district.
Godaa qaalay he biitta ubbaa gakkis.
50 But the Jews incited the women of position who worshiped with them, and the leading men of the town, and started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their neighbourhood.
Shin Ayhudeti, Ayhude gidonna Xoosse goynniya dure maccasatanne kataman de7iya gita asata Phawuloosa bollanne Barnnabaasa bolla denthethidosona. He asati entta gooda doomidi bantta biittaafe kessidosona.
51 They, however, shook the dust off their feet in protest,
Shin Phawuloosaranne Barnnabaasara ixxeyssatas malla gidana mela bantta tohuwappe baana pittidi Iqooniyone katama bidosona.
52 and went to Iconium, leaving the disciples full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.
Qassi Anxookiyan de7iya ammaneyssati Geeshsha Ayyaananinne ufayssan kumidosona.
