Kitetidayta Ootho 17
1 Phawulossayne Sillasey Anhaaththaipholane Aphpholiya geetettiza derera adhdhidi Teslonqqe geetettiza dere bida. Henkka Ayhudata wossa keeth dees.
When Paul and his companions had traveled 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.
As was his custom, Paul went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he 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 presenting evidence that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, saying, “This Jesus whom I am proclaiming 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 the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of the devout Greeks and quite a few 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 Jews who refused to believe rounded up some evil men from the marketplace and formed a mob, setting the city in an uproar. They attacked Jason's house, seeking to bring Paul and Silas out to the public assembly.
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 when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers to the city officials, shouting, “These men 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.
and Jason has welcomed them. They 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.
And they stirred up the crowd and the city officials who heard these things.
9 Iyaasoonenne haratakka hurbbuta xeeygissidi yeedida.
But when the city officials had received a security bond from Jason and the others, they released them.
10 Ammanizayti herakka Phawulossane Sillase qammara beriya yeedida. Isttikka he gakkida mala Ayhudata wossa keeth gellida.
As soon as it was night the brothers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived, they went to 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 Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica, and they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
12 Hessa gish isttafe daroo asay ammanides. qasseka isttara qoodan darooti bonchetida girkke dere maccashatine Addetikka ammanida.
As a result, many of them believed, as did quite a few of the Greek women of high standing and the 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 found out that Paul was proclaiming the word of God in Berea also, they went there as well, agitating the crowds.
14 Hessa wode ammanizayiti Phawulossa ellesidi gede abba achch yeeddida. Sillaseyne ximtoossay hen attia.
Then the brothers immediately sent Paul away, as though he were going by sea, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.
15 Phawulossa mooyizida asati iza Atena gaththida. Qassekka Sillaseyne ximmotoossay izakoo elleeli gakkana mala giza kiita Phawulossape ekkidi simmida.
Those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens, and after they had received an order for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.
16 Phawulossay atenan istta naggishin atena kaataman eqqati kummidayssa beeyidi daroo shenetidees.
While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw 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 in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout Greeks, and in the marketplace every 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.
Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. Some said, “What is this babbler trying to say?” But others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities.” (They said this because he was preaching the good news about 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 they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is that yoʋ are presenting?
20 Qasse ne nuna nu hayththan sissiza yooy nu errontta orrath gidida gish izi azzakoone nu errana kooyosu.
For yoʋ are bringing some strange things to our ears, and we would like to know what they 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 foreigners who dwelt there would spend their time in nothing else but talking about and listening to whatever the newest idea might be.)
22 Hessa gish Phawulossay Arriyoshaaththaagossa geetetza dulatan shiiqida dereza sinthtan eqqidi “hayito Atena asato inte beetto mishsh wursii ammanizadentta gididayssa ta beeyayis.
Paul then stood before the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see just how religious you are in every way.
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 was going around and closely observing yoʋr objects of worship, I even found an altar that had been inscribed: ‘To an unknown god.’ I proclaim to you therefore the one whom you worship in ignorance.
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, who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made 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 served by the hands of men, as though he needed anything. Rather, he himself continually gives life and breath to all mankind.
26 Asa zereth wursii issadefe medhdhidi asi biita bolla daana mala ooththides; asay daana wodene wursietha dhaassi woththides.
From one bloodline he created every nation of mankind to dwell on the entire face of the earth. He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of where they would dwell,
27 Heskka asi Xoossu kooyidine paccidi demmanakoone gidi wothides; Hessi hessa gidikokka izi nupe issi issi urrape hakkida gish gidena.
so that they might seek the Lord and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him, though he is not far from any 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 and move and have our being, as even some of your own poets have said: ‘For we also are 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 being is like gold, silver, or stone, an image formed by the skill and imagination 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.
Therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now 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 set a day on which he is going to judge the world in righteousness by a man he has appointed. He has provided assurance of this to everyone by raising this man 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 about the resurrection of the dead, some began to scoff, but others said, “We wish to hear about this from yoʋ again.”
33 Herakka Phawulossay istta gidoofe keezi bidees.
So Paul departed from 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 some of the people joined him and believed, among whom were Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
