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 synagogue of the Jews.
2 Phawulossaykka izas dose gidida mala Ayhudata wossa keeth geliides. Heedzdzu saamintta kumeth qaalape yoot yoot isttara hasa7ettidees.
So Paul, as was his custom, went in to them and for three Sabbaths 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 Messiah had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and that “this Jesus whom I proclaim to you is the Messiah.”
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, as did a large number of devout Greeks and not a few of the prominent 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 disobedient Jews rounded up some wicked men from the marketplace, and forming a mob they created an uproar in the city; and attacking the house of Jason, they wanted to bring them out to the crowd.
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.
But not finding them they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials vociferating: “These who have upset the whole world have come here too,
7 Iyaasooneykka istta ba keeththan woththides. Hayiti asati wuri (Yesussa geetettiza hara kawooy dees gidi Qeessare woga ekketena)” gishe waasida.
to whom Jason has given lodging. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.”
8 Deereynne he kaatama dannati hessa siydi ba garssan buqqetida.
Well they agitated the crowd and the city officials when they heard these things.
9 Iyaasoonenne haratakka hurbbuta xeeygissidi yeedida.
Then they took a security bond from Jason and the rest and let them go.
10 Ammanizayti herakka Phawulossane Sillase qammara beriya yeedida. Isttikka he gakkida mala Ayhudata wossa keeth gellida.
Immediately, during the night, the brothers sent both Paul and Silas away to Berea; on arriving they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
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-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all goodwill, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things might be so.
12 Hessa gish isttafe daroo asay ammanides. qasseka isttara qoodan darooti bonchetida girkke dere maccashatine Addetikka ammanida.
Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.
13 Teslonqqen diza Ayhuda asati Phawulossay Xoossa qaala Beriyankka sabbakizayssa errida mala dereza denththethanas qassekka gede isttakko bida.
But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the Word of God was also being proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came too, agitating the crowds.
14 Hessa wode ammanizayiti Phawulossa ellesidi gede abba achch yeeddida. Sillaseyne ximtoossay hen attia.
So then, without delay, the brothers sent Paul away, as if to go by sea, while both Silas and Timothy remained there.
15 Phawulossa mooyizida asati iza Atena gaththida. Qassekka Sillaseyne ximmotoossay izakoo elleeli gakkana mala giza kiita Phawulossape ekkidi simmida.
But those who were conducting Paul actually took him all the way to Athens; and receiving a command to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they started back.
16 Phawulossay atenan istta naggishin atena kaataman eqqati kummidayssa beeyidi daroo shenetidees.
Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was increasingly aroused within him as he observed that the city was 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 both in the synagogue with the Jews and devout persons, and in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there.
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.
Then certain philosophers, both Epicureans and Stoics, encountered him. Some said, “What might this idea-scavenger want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities”—because he was preaching 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.
So taking him in tow they led him to the Areopagus and said: “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
20 Qasse ne nuna nu hayththan sissiza yooy nu errontta orrath gidida gish izi azzakoone nu errana kooyosu.
Because you are bringing some strange things to our ears, and we would like to know what they might mean.”
21 Atena asay kummeth qassekka han diza hara dere asaykka bees wode aththanas orratha yoo hasa7anine siissan attin hara mishshan aththetena.
(Now all Athenians and resident foreigners spent their time in nothing else but to tell, or else to hear, some novelty.)
22 Hessa gish Phawulossay Arriyoshaaththaagossa geetetza dulatan shiiqida dereza sinthtan eqqidi “hayito Atena asato inte beetto mishsh wursii ammanizadentta gididayssa ta beeyayis.
So standing in the middle of the Areopagus Paul said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious;
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.
because as I went along and scrutinized the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO UNKNOWN GOD. Now then, the one you worship as ‘unknown’, this is the One I proclaim 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 everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples built by hands,
25 Izi asa wursioos deyoone shamppo qassekka haraka wursii immizade gidida gish izas paccizazi doontta gish asa kushshepe maado ekkena.
neither is He cared for by men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself has always given life and breath to all.
26 Asa zereth wursii issadefe medhdhidi asi biita bolla daana mala ooththides; asay daana wodene wursietha dhaassi woththides.
And from one blood He made every ethnic nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined their appointed times 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.
so that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might grope 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.
because in Him we live and move and have our being. As also 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.
Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divinity is like gold or silver or stone—something shaped by human skill and imagination.
30 Kasetidi Xoossi hayssa mala hanota asay errontta ooththidayssa dandda7an adhdhides; Hai gidikko asi wuri ba dizason dizason maaroteththan gelana mala azazzes” gides.
Such times of ignorance God did indeed overlook, but now He commands all people everywhere to 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 inhabited world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained; He has given assurance of this to all by raising 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.
Well when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some started scoffing, while others said, “We will hear you again about this.”
33 Herakka Phawulossay istta gidoofe keezi bidees.
And with that 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.
However some men believed and joined him, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, also a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
