Kitetidayta Ootho 17
1 Phawulossayne Sillasey Anhaaththaipholane Aphpholiya geetettiza derera adhdhidi Teslonqqe geetettiza dere bida. Henkka Ayhudata wossa keeth dees.
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2 Phawulossaykka izas dose gidida mala Ayhudata wossa keeth geliides. Heedzdzu saamintta kumeth qaalape yoot yoot isttara hasa7ettidees.
Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3 Kiristtossay waaye ekkanassinne hayqqi denddanas bessizayssa qoonccis ammanththon “hayssi ta sabbakiiza Yesussay izi kitteti yaana geetetidayssakko” gidees.
explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”
4 Ayhudistape issi issi asay ba syidayssa ammanidi Phawulossarane Sillasera issife gidides. Qassekka daroo derey Xoossu babbiza girkkistape daroo erretida maccashati ba siyida qaalan ammanidi isttara issino gidida.
Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.
5 Ayhudati qass istta qanatidi giyan diza woriddo asata shishshidi kummetha dere istta bolla denththethidi kaataman shiiro medhdhida. Phawulossane Sillase shishshidi dereza sinththan essanas issi Iyassone geetettizadesoo koyanas elleli bida.
But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
6 Gido attin istta Iyaasoonee keeththan deemontta aggida gish Iyaasoonenne hara ammaniza asata kaatama dannata sinththara goochishe “hayiti asati dere wursii mullaki ka7ishe gamm7idi qasse ha7i ha yida.
When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
7 Iyaasooneykka istta ba keeththan woththides. Hayiti asati wuri (Yesussa geetettiza hara kawooy dees gidi Qeessare woga ekketena)” gishe waasida.
whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
8 Deereynne he kaatama dannati hessa siydi ba garssan buqqetida.
The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
9 Iyaasoonenne haratakka hurbbuta xeeygissidi yeedida.
When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10 Ammanizayti herakka Phawulossane Sillase qammara beriya yeedida. Isttikka he gakkida mala Ayhudata wossa keeth gellida.
The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
11 Beriya asay Teslonqqe asaappe adhdhidi akekara diza asa. Gasooyikka hayisi yoozi tumeshsha gi gidi geisha maxaafata qaala wonttin wonttin pacci xeelidi ufaysan ekkidees.
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
12 Hessa gish isttafe daroo asay ammanides. qasseka isttara qoodan darooti bonchetida girkke dere maccashatine Addetikka ammanida.
Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
13 Teslonqqen diza Ayhuda asati Phawulossay Xoossa qaala Beriyankka sabbakizayssa errida mala dereza denththethanas qassekka gede isttakko bida.
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.
14 Hessa wode ammanizayiti Phawulossa ellesidi gede abba achch yeeddida. Sillaseyne ximtoossay hen attia.
Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
15 Phawulossa mooyizida asati iza Atena gaththida. Qassekka Sillaseyne ximmotoossay izakoo elleeli gakkana mala giza kiita Phawulossape ekkidi simmida.
But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
16 Phawulossay atenan istta naggishin atena kaataman eqqati kummidayssa beeyidi daroo shenetidees.
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
17 Hessa gish Ayhudista wossa keeththan Ayhudistarane Xoossas babbiza Girkke asara qassekka giyyay dizasoon gallas gallas benara gaggiza asara hasa7etidees.
So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
18 Ehaaththaiqorossene Isxoykke geetettiza eranchata bagga gididayiti Phawulossako shiiqidi izara hasa7ettida. Istta issi issi asati “hayssi lommi7u lommi7ay ay gaana kooyze?” gida. Baggati qasse Yesussa gishine hayqqope iza denththa mishshirachcho izi sabbakishin siyidi “heyssi hara orraththa eeqqata gish yootiza milattes” gida.
Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
19 Iza oykkidi arriyoshaaththaagossa geetettiza dere dulata sinthth ehaaththaidi “ha ne tammarisiza orratha timmirittey azzakoone nu errana mala ne kooyazi?” gida.
They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
20 Qasse ne nuna nu hayththan sissiza yooy nu errontta orrath gidida gish izi azzakoone nu errana kooyosu.
For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
21 Atena asay kummeth qassekka han diza hara dere asaykka bees wode aththanas orratha yoo hasa7anine siissan attin hara mishshan aththetena.
Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
22 Hessa gish Phawulossay Arriyoshaaththaagossa geetetza dulatan shiiqida dereza sinthtan eqqidi “hayito Atena asato inte beetto mishsh wursii ammanizadentta gididayssa ta beeyayis.
Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
23 Ta gede ha yuyishin inte isttas gooyiniza miishshata ta xeellishin (erretoontta Xoossu) geeteti xaafetiidayssa issi yarsho soo demmadis, hessa gish heyssa inte errontta gooyinizayssa ta intena errissana.
For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.
24 Hayssa allamezane iza gidoon diza wursii medhdhida Xoossi izi salone sa7a Goda. Hessa gish izi asa kushshen kexxetida keeththan deena.
The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.
25 Izi asa wursioos deyoone shamppo qassekka haraka wursii immizade gidida gish izas paccizazi doontta gish asa kushshepe maado ekkena.
He is not served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.
26 Asa zereth wursii issadefe medhdhidi asi biita bolla daana mala ooththides; asay daana wodene wursietha dhaassi woththides.
He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,
27 Heskka asi Xoossu kooyidine paccidi demmanakoone gidi wothides; Hessi hessa gidikokka izi nupe issi issi urrape hakkida gish gidena.
that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
28 Nu diza dussayne nu qaxxetiizay qaththaykka izankko; Inte deren yethi kessiza issi issi asati (nukka iza naytakko) gida malakko.
‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
29 Histtikoo nu Xoossa nayita gidikko Xooss asa errateththan medhdhi kessida worqqa woykko bira woykko shuuchchu milates giidi nu qoppanas beessena.
Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.
30 Kasetidi Xoossi hayssa mala hanota asay errontta ooththidayssa dandda7an adhdhides; Hai gidikko asi wuri ba dizason dizason maaroteththan gelana mala azazzes” gides.
The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
31 Izi ba doosidade baggara biita bolla xiillotethan pirdana gallas bare woththides. Izakka hayqqope denththidi asa wursios hayssa tummatetha errissides.
because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”
32 Isttikka hayqqidayta denththa gish siyda mala issi issi asati iza qidhida baggati qass “hayssa qassekka neepe hara gallas siyana kooyos” gida.
Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
33 Herakka Phawulossay istta gidoofe keezi bidees.
Thus Paul went out from among them.
34 Issi issi asati qass Phawulossay iza kaallidane ammanida; Heytapekka diyoonasiyossa geetettiza arriyoshaaththaagose dulata keeththa abaalle gidida Deemarisso geetettiza maccashayane haratikka isfe deetes.
But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
