Kitetidayta Ootho 15
1 Iss issi asati yudappe duge Anxxokiya wodhdhidi “inte Musse woga mala qaxxaretontta oonnikko attana danddaekkista” gidi ammanizayita tammariso oykkida.
But certain persons came down from Judea, and began to teach the Lord’s followers that, unless they were circumcised, in accordance with the custom required by Moses, they could not be saved.
2 Hessikka Phawulossayne Barinabassay istta gita palamanine ooshsha giido gellithidees, hessa gish Phawulossayne Barinabassay hara issi issi ammaniza asatara Yerusalame kezidi ha yooza gish cimatane hawarista oychchana mala geetetides.
This gave rise to a serious dispute, and much discussion, between Paul and Barnabas and these people, and it was therefore settled that Paul and Barnabas and others of their number should go up to Jerusalem, to consult the apostles and church elders about the matter under discussion.
3 Hesa gish wossa kethaya ista Yerusalame bana mala kitin istti Finqqerane Samariyara adhdhi bishe hen diza asa ayhuda giidontta derey ammanoon simmidayssa yootida. He wode ammanizayti hessa siyidi keehi uhaaththaa7etida.
The church, therefore, sent them on their journey, and they made their way through Phoenicia and Samaria, telling the story of the conversion of the Gentiles, to the great joy of all the followers.
4 Istti Yerusalame gakkin wossa keeththa asay hawaretine cimati istta mokki ekkida, Kitteti bidayitikka Xooss isttara gididi ooththidayssa wursi isttas yootida.
On their arrival at Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, as well as by the apostles and the elders, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do.
5 Farissawista bagga asatappe ammanida issi issi asati denddidi “Ayhuda giidontta dere assi qaxxaristanasine musse woga nagana mala istas yotanas beesses” gida.
Some of the Pharisees’ party, however, who had become believers in Christ, came forward and declared that they were bound to circumcise converts and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses.
6 Hawaretinne cimati he yooza giido loo7eth xeellanas shiqiida.
The apostles and the church elders held a meeting to consider this question.
7 Daroo palamape guye Phixiroossay denddi eqqidi hizzgidees “ta ishato guuththa wodepe kase Xoossi tana inte garssafe dooridi Ayhuda giidoontta asat ta duunape mishshirachcho qaala siyidi ammanana mala ooththidayssa inte errista.
After much discussion, Peter rose and said: “You, my friends, know well that long ago God singled me out – that through my lips the Gentiles should hear the message of the good news, and become believers in Christ.
8 Assa wozina erriza Xoossi nus immidayssa mala isttaskka xiillo ayana immidi istta bees ekkidayssa markkatides.
Now God, who reads all hearts, declared his acceptance of the Gentiles, by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.
9 Istta wozinakka ammanoon geshshidi nu giidonine istta giidoon aykoo shakokka ooththibeyna.
He made no distinction between them and us, when he purified their hearts by their faith.
10 Hessa gish nu aawatine nukka tookkanas dandda7ontta qaambbara ammanizayta toossanas inte aazas xoossu paacceti?
Why, then, do you now provoke God, by putting on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our ancestors nor we were able to bear?
11 Nu attiday liikke isttaththokka Goda Yesussa adhdho keeyatethan gidiidayssa ammanos.
No, it is through the loving kindness of the Lord Jesus that we, just as they do, believe that we have been saved.”
12 Shiiqida asay wurikka coo7u gini Barinabassayne Phawulossay Xoossi istta baggara Ayhuda giidontta dereta giidoon ooththida gita mallatata gish yootishin malaletidi loo7ethi siyidees.
Every voice in the assembly was hushed, as they listened to Barnabas and Paul, while they gave an account of all the signs and wonders which God had shown among the Gentiles through them.
13 Istti yootti wursiishin Yaqoobey denddi eqqidi hizzgidees “ta ishato ta giza siyite,
After they had finished speaking, James addressed the Council. “Friends,” he began, “hear what I have to say.
14 Xoossi Ayhuda giidontta deretappe bees gidana dere kassetidi izi wostti xeeygi woththidako simmonay nuus loo7ethi yootidees.
Simon has described the manner in which God first visited the Gentiles, in order to take from among them a people to bear his name.
15 Kase nabetan hizzgi xaafeetida qaalay hayssara gaggees.
And that is in harmony with the words of the prophets, where they say –
16 “Hayssafe guye ta simmada lalletida Dawite keeth kexxana, Lalletidayssa zaara essana, zaaradakka kexxana.
‘After this I will return; and I will rebuild the house of David which has fallen – its ruins I will rebuild, and will set it up once more;
17 Hesikka attida asay Goda koyana malanne ta sunththan xeygetida Ayhuda gidonta derey tana koyanamalakko gees wursi oothida Xoossi.”
that so the rest of mankind may earnestly seek the Lord – even all the Gentiles on whom my name has been bestowed,
says the Lord, as he does these things, known from long ago.’ (aiōn g165)
19 Hessa gish, ha Xoossako simmida ayhuda giidontta dereta nu metothontta mala hayisi ta baggara tas qaachcho.
In my judgment, therefore, we should not add to the difficulties of those Gentiles who are turning to God,
20 Gido atin eeqqan tuniidaytappe, layman tuniidaytappe, bawuuta hayqqida mehe asho mussafenne suuthu ushshafe hakkana mala nu isttas xaafana beeses.
but we should write to them to abstain from food that has been polluted by being sacrificed to idols, from impurity, from eating the flesh of strangled animals, and from blood.
21 Musse wogay gidiko beniisopee sambbata sambbata gallas Ayhudata wossa keeththan nababetiishene kaatamay dizasoon sabbakeetishe deess.
For in every town, for generations past, there have been those who preach Moses, read as he is in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
22 Hessa wode hawaretine cimatt kumeetha wossa keeththa asara gididi ba garssafe issi issi asata dooridi Phawulossarane Barinabassara gaththi Anxxokiya yeedanas qachchida. Ammaniiza asa garssafe wannatizayta Barissabassa geetettiza Yudane Siillase doorida.
It was then decided by the apostles and the elders, with the assent of the whole church, to choose some of their number, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. Those chosen were Judas (called Barsabas) and Silas, who were leaders among the community.
23 Istta kushen immi yeeddida dabiddabez hizzges “inte ishatape hawaristapene ciimatappe Ayhude giidontta dere asappe ammaniida Anxxokiyan, sooriyaninne kilqqiyan diza ammaniizayitas nu sarookkay intena gaakko.
They were bearers of the following letter – ‘The apostles, and the followers who are the church elders, send their greetings to the followers of the Lord of Gentile birth in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia.
24 Issi issi asati nuna giidontta ba baggara nu achchafe biidi ba hassa7an inte woziina henne ha qaththidayssane intena mulakkidayssa nu siyidoos.
As we had heard that some of our number had upset you by their assertions, and unsettled your minds – without instructions from us –
25 Hessa gish guutha asata dooridi dosetida Barnabassarane Phawulossara inteko yeddanas nu wurkka qaala gaggidos.
We met and decided to choose certain men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul,
26 Isti Goda Yesuss kiristtossa gish ba shemppo aththi immidayita.
who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
27 Hessa gish nu intees xaafidayssa istti intes ba duunara lo7ethi yootana mala Yudane Siillase inteko yeedidos.
We are accordingly sending Judas and Silas, and they will tell you by word of mouth what we are now writing.
28 Hayita intes koshshiza yootape hara gujjo tooho nu inte bolla woththontta mala nussune xiillo ayanas loo7o milati beettides.
We have, therefore, decided, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to lay no further burden on you beyond these necessary conditions –
29 Hesiika inte eqqas shukeetida ashoppe, suththafe, cuulet hayqqida mehe ashopenne laymman tunidayssafe inte hakkana malako. Inte hayita milatizaytappe hakiikko intes loo7o, Saroon diite.”
That you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating the flesh of strangled animals, and from impurity. If you guard yourselves against such things, it will be well with you. Farewell.’
30 Kitteetida asati moyzeetidi duge Anxxookiya wodhdhida, Hen ammanizayta wurssi shishshidi ehida dabiddabeeza isttas immida.
So the bearers of this letter were sent on their way, and went down to Antioch. There they called a meeting of all the followers,
31 Deereykka nababidi minththethiza qaalan uhaaththaa7ettides.
and delivered the letter, the reading of which caused great rejoicing by its encouraging contents.
32 Yudayne Siillasey nabeta gidida gish daroo zooridi ammanizayta minththethida.
Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, further encouraged the them by many an address, and strengthened their faith.
33 Hen guutha wode gamiidi ammaniza asay mooyziin guye bena kittidaytako simmida.
After some stay, they were dismissed with kind farewells from the followers, and returned to those who had sent them.
34 Siillasey qass hen attanas kooydes.
35 Phawulossayne Barinabassay hara daroo asatara gididi Goda qaala tammarisishshene sabbakishe Anxxokiyan gammida.
Paul and Barnabas, however, remained in Antioch, where they taught and, with the help of many others, told the good news of the Lord’s message.
36 Phawulossay guutha wode gamidi Barinabassa “nu kase Goda qaala yootida kaatamata wursiota biidi ammanizayt aymala dizakkoone ane yuyi beeyoos dendda” gides.
Some time after this, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the Lord’s followers in every town in which we have told the Lord’s message, and see how they are prospering.”
37 Barinabassayikka marqqossa geetettiza Yanssay isttara baana mala koyiddes.
Barnabas wished to take with them John, whose other name was Mark;
38 Phawulossay qass iza ekki baanas koyibeyna, Gasooykka kase Marqqossay isttafe shaaketidi Phimifilyya gizasoon guye attidi isttara oososu sinththe kezoontta aggida gishaskko.
but Paul felt that they ought not to take with them the man who had deserted them in Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to their work.
39 Histtin daroo palamay istta giidon medhdhetida gish ba garssan shaakketi wodhdhida, Hessa gish Barinabassay Marqqossa ekkidi markkaben gellidi Qophiroose bides.
This caused such unpleasant feeling between them that they parted ways, Barnabas taking Mark and sailing for Cyprus,
40 Phawulossay qass Siillase doorides. Ammanizayitikka phawulossa Goda adho kiyatethas hadara immidape guye izi isttafe shaaketidi biides.
while Paul chose Silas for his companion and, after he had been committed by the followers to the gracious care of the Lord,
41 Amanizayta minththethishe Sooriyaranne Kilqqiyara adhdhi bidees.
started on his journey and went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches in the faith.
