Acts 8
1 And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
Saa7oli Isxifaanose hayquwan ufayttis. He gallas Yerusalaamen de7iya woosa keethan gita goodi denddis. Hawaareti attin ammaneyssati ubbay Yihuda biittaninne Samaare biittan laalettidosona.
2 and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him;
Issi issi Xoossaa asati Isxifaanose moogidosona; qassi iyaw daro yeekkidosona.
3 and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;
Shin Saa7oli woosa keethaa dhayssanaw koyees. Soo soo yuuyi gelidi, ammaniyaa addetanne maccasata goochchi goochchi kessidi qasho keethi gelssees.
4 they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news — the word.
Laalettida ammaneyssati bida bessa ubban qaala odidosona.
5 And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ,
Filiphphoosi Samaare katamaa bidi Kiristtoosabaa asaas odis.
6 the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
Daro asay Filiphphoosi gidayssa si7ida wodenne I oothiya malaatata be7ida wode iya akeekidi si7idosona.
7 for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
Tuna ayyaanati waassidi daro asaappe keyidosona; qassi daro gunddatinne wobbeti bilettidosona.
8 and there was great joy in that city.
He kataman de7iya asay daro ufayttidosona.
9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
Shin Simoona giya issi uray he kataman de7ees. I, ‘Bana gita’ gidi Samaare asaa marotethan malaalisishe gam77is.
10 to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, 'This one is the great power of God;'
Guuthafe gita gakkanaw de7iya asay ubbay, “Gita Xoossaa wolqqay hayssa” gidi iyabaa si77oosona.
11 and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic.
Daro wodeppe doomidi marotishe Samaare asaa malaalisida gisho asay iyabaa si7oosona.
12 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;
Shin Filiphphoosi Xoossaa kawotethaabaanne Yesuus Kiristtoosa sunthabaa addetasinne maccatas odin, entti iyabaa ammanidi xammaqettidosona.
13 and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
Qassi Simoonikka ba huu7en ammanidi xammaqettis. Filiphphoosara issife bida bessa ubban oosettiya gita malaatata be7idi malaalettis.
14 And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John,
Yerusalaamen de7iya hawaareti Samaare asay Xoossaa qaala ekkidayssa si7ida wode Phexiroosanne Yohaannisa enttako yeddidosona.
15 who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, —
Phexiroosinne Yohaannisi bidi, ammaneyssati Geeshsha Ayyaana ekkana mela enttaw Xoossaa woossidosona.
16 for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus;
Ays giikko, Samaare asati Godaa Yesuusa sunthaa xalaalan xammaqettidosonappe attin enttafe issuwa bollaka Geeshsha Ayyaanay wodhdhibeenna.
17 then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
He wode Phexiroosinne Yohaannisi bantta kushiya entta bolla wothin, entti Geeshsha Ayyaana ekkidosona.
18 And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money,
Hawaareti bantta kushiya entta bolla wothin, enttaw Geeshsha Ayyaanay imettidayssa Simooni be7ida wode Phexiroosasinne Yohaannisas miishe ehidi,
19 saying, 'Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.'
“Taanikka ta kushiya wothiya ubbay Geeshsha Ayyaana ekkana mela ha maata tawukka immerkketi” yaagis.
20 And Peter said unto him, 'Thy silver with thee — may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;
Shin Phexiroosi iyaakko, “Neeni Xoossaa imotaa miishen shammanaw qoppida gisho ne miishey neera dhayo.
21 thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;
Ne wozanay Xoossaa sinthan suure gidonna gisho new hayssan gishoy woykko qaadi baawa.
22 reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,
Hiza, ha ne wozanaa iitatethaa gisho nagaraappe simma. Ne wozanan de7iya iita qofaa Xoossay atto gaana mela Xoossaa woossa.
23 for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.'
Gaasoykka, neeni iita qanaateninne nagara qashuwan de7eyssa taani be7ays” yaagis.
24 And Simon answering, said, 'Beseech ye for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have spoken.'
Simooni zaaridi, “Hintte gidayssafe issoykka tana gakkonna mela taw Xoossaa woossite” yaagis.
25 They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news.
Phexiroosinne Yohaannisi markkattidaappenne Godaa qaala odidaappe guye Yerusalaame simmidosona. Samaaren de7iya daro gutatan Wonggelaa odidosona.
26 And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, 'Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,' — this is desert.
Godaa kiitanchchoy Filiphphoosakko, “Denddada Yerusalaameppe Gaaza efiya bazzo biitta ogiyakko ba. He ogey dugeha baggara de7ees” yaagis.
27 And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem;
Filiphphoosi denddidi bis. Hinddeke giya Tophphiya kawees I miishe ubbaa naagiya Tophphiya asi de7ees. Ikka goynnanaw Yerusalaame bis.
28 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Para gaariyan uttidi, Yerusalaameppe ba biittaa simmishe nabiya Isayaasa maxaafaa nabbabees.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, 'Go near, and be joined to this chariot;'
Geeshsha Ayyaanay Filiphphoosakko, “He gaariyakko bada iya mati shiiqa” yaagis.
30 and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, 'Dost thou then know what thou dost read?'
Yaatin Filiphphoosi woxxi bidi gakkiya wode moorinnay nabiya Isayaasa maxaafappe nabbabishin si7idi, “Ne nabbabeyassi new geli?” yaagis.
31 and he said, 'Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
Moorinnay, “Taw odi gelssiya asi baynna waanidi gelanee?” yaagis. Baara gaariyan keyidi uttana mela Filiphphoosa woossis.
32 And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: 'As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth;
Moorinnay nabbabiya maxaafaa kifiley, “I dorssada shukettanaw laagettis; Dorssa maray ba ikisiya meedeyssata sinthan si7i geyssada, ikka ba doona dooyibeena.
33 in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation — who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.'
I kawuyis; iyaw xillo pirddi dhays. iya de7oy ha sa7aappe qanxettida gisho, iya sheeshaabaa oone odanay?” yaagees.
34 And the eunuch answering Philip said, 'I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?'
Moorinnay zaaridi Filiphphoosakko, “Nabey odebaa odi? Babaa odiyye woykko hara asabaa odi? Taw odarkkii” yaagis.
35 and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him — Jesus.
Filiphphoosi zaaridi, Xoossaa qaala he bessaafe doomidi, Yesuusabaa odiya Wonggelaa iyaw odis.
36 And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, 'Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?'
Entti bishe haathi de7iyaso gakkidosona. Moorinnay, “Haathe hayssa be7a; ta xammaqettonna mela aybi diggii?” yaagis.
37 [And Philip said, 'If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, 'I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;']
Filiphphoosi iyaakko, “Neeni ne kumetha wozanaappe ammanikko dandda7aasa” yaagis. I zaaridi, “Yesuus Kiristtoosi Xoossaa Na7aa gideyssa taani ammanays” yaagis.
38 and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him;
Gaarey eqqana mela moorinnay kiittin, nam77ay wodhdhidi haathan gelidosona; Filiphphoosi iya xammaqis.
39 and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
Entti haathaafe gaxa keyida wode Godaa ayyaanay Filiphphoosa qopponna ekkis. Nam77antho moorinnay Filiphphoosa be7ibeenna, shin ba ogiya ufayttishe bis.
40 and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Caesarea.
Filiphphoosi Azaaxonan bana demmis. Qassi Qisaariya yaana gakkanaw katamatan yuuyidi Wonggelaa markkattis.
