Kitetidayta Ootho 1
1 Tofilosa, Yesussay oothanasine tammarissanas oykidayssa wursia ta nes koyro maxaafan xaafadis.
In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
2 Hessika izi pude denththa gaalas gakkanaas ba doorida kitidaytas xiillo ayana baggara izi isttas immida azazoko.
until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
3 Izi daro waye be7idappe guye istakko shiqidi hayqope denddanayssa haytannitas daroo markkara qonccisishe oydu tamu gaalas gakkanaas isttas gaalas galas beetishe Xoossa kawootetha gish yootides.
After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
4 Isttara isife maadan uttidishe istta hizzgi azazides “Yerussalamepe kezoppite, gido attin ta intes yootishin inte siydayssa ta aaway immida uhaaththaayssa naagitte.
And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
5 Yanissay haththan xaamaqqides shin inte qass guuththa wodeppe guye xiillo ayanan xammaqistana.
For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 Isttika issibolla shiqetti uttidishe “Godo! isiraelista kawootethi zaarada hai essane?” gi oychchida.
So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 Izika isttas “aaway ba sheenen woththida wode errooy intes immetibeeyna.
Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
8 Gido attin xiillo Ayanay inte bolla wodhdhida wode inte wolliiqa ekkana, Yerussalamenika Yudanika Sammariyanika wursoson biita gaxxa gakkanaas inte tas markkata gidana” gides.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 Hessa gi yootidape guye istti xeellishin pude salo denddides, salo sharayika istta ayfepe iza genththides.
After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
10 Izi biishin istti iza tish histi pude salo xeelishin booththa mayo mayida namm7u asati qoponnita istta achchan eqqidi;
They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
11 “inteno Galila asato! inte pude salo xeellishe hayssan aazas eqqidetii? Haysi inte maatappe pude salo dennidishin inte beeyza Yesussay salo keezishin inte beeyda mala hessaththoka izi simmi yaana” gida.
“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
12 Hessafe guye Dabirezayite giza zumma bollafe wodhdhid Yerusalame simmida, he zummayka yerussalameppe issi killo mittire mala hakkes.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
13 Gede kaatamayo gellida wode kase ba diza keeththa fooqe bolla keziida, heyttikka Phixxirossa, Yanissa, Yaqoobe, Inddarassa, Philliphossa, Toomassa, Barttelomossa, Matossa, Illifossa na Yaqoobe, ba bagga maddizade geetettiza Simmonane yaqoobe na Yuuda.
When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
14 Heyti wurikka maccashatappe Yesussa aayoo marammira hessathokka iza ishshatara issi wozinnan issi bolla qanxxontta minni woossida.
With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
15 He gaallasatan Phixxirossay xeistane namm7u tammu ammaniza asa giidon eqqiddi.
In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
16 Hizzgides “ta ishshato! Yesussa oykkida asata kaalleth oyththida, yuda gish xiillo ayanay kassetidi dawute dunnan hasa7iida geesha maxaafa qaalay polistanas koshiza gishiko.
“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.
17 Izikka nuuppe issade mala taybeettidi hayssa ha oosozan gellanas exxa demmides.
He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
18 Shin hayssadey ba iitta ooson demmida miishshan gade shammides. Hennikka ba liiphon gufanni kunnidin iza asatathay giidofe phalliqeti wodhdhides; iza maraccey biita bolla zazetides.
(Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
19 Hesikka yerussalamen diza asas wursios siyetides. Biitaykka istta qaalara “akeelidama” geetetides; Birishechayika suththa biita gusa.
This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 Gujjidikka Phixxirossay “mazzimmure maaxaafan (iza biittay mela atto, iza biittan assi doopo qassekka iza dannatethi hara assi eekko) geeteti xaafetides.
“For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’
21 Hessa gish Goda Yesusay nunara diza wode wurson nunara isife dizayta gidofe nu issade dorannas koshshes.
Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Hesikka Yanisa xiinqqateppe ha simmin Yesussay nuppe shakeetidi dendi bana gakkanaas nunara dizade gidannas beeses. Gasoykka ha asatappe issadey nunara Yesussa denththas markka gidana koshshes” gides.
beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
23 Hessa gish Barissabasa woykko Yosixxossa geetettiza Yosehaaththaonne Matiyassa namm7ata shishshidi;
So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
24 Hizzgi wossida “Godo! Ne asa wurso wozina errassa, hayta namm7ata giidofe ne oona doridakko issade nuna beessa.
And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
25 Yuuday yeggi bidason ha ooththa ooththanadene haware gidanade ne doora” gida.
to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
26 Hessafe exxa yeggin exxay Maatiyassas keezides. Izikka taammane issi hawaristara isife tayibeetides.
Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
