Kitetidayta Ootho 17
1 Phawulossayne Sillasey Anhaaththaipholane Aphpholiya geetettiza derera adhdhidi Teslonqqe geetettiza dere bida. Henkka Ayhudata wossa keeth dees.
Then, passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they went to Thessalonica. Here 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.
Paul--following his usual custom--betook himself to it, and for three successive 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.
which he clearly explained, pointing out that it had been necessary for the Christ to suffer and rise again from the dead, and insisting, "The Jesus whom I am announcing 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 people were won over, and attached themselves to Paul and Silas, including many God-fearing Greeks and not a few gentlewomen of high rank.
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 jealousy of the Jews was aroused, and, calling to their aid some ill-conditioned and idle fellows, they got together a riotous mob and filled the city with uproar. They then attacked the house of Jason and searched for Paul and Silas, to bring them out before the assembly of 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.
But, failing to find them, they dragged Jason and some of the other brethren before the magistrates of the city, loudly accusing them. "These men," they said, "who have raised a tumult throughout the Empire, have come here also.
7 Iyaasooneykka istta ba keeththan woththides. Hayiti asati wuri (Yesussa geetettiza hara kawooy dees gidi Qeessare woga ekketena)” gishe waasida.
Jason has received them into his house; and they all set Caesar's authority at defiance, declaring that there is another Emperor-- one called Jesus."
8 Deereynne he kaatama dannati hessa siydi ba garssan buqqetida.
Great was the excitement among the crowd, and among the magistrates of the city, when they heard these charges.
9 Iyaasoonenne haratakka hurbbuta xeeygissidi yeedida.
They required Jason and the rest to find substantial bail, and after that they let them go.
10 Ammanizayti herakka Phawulossane Sillase qammara beriya yeedida. Isttikka he gakkida mala Ayhudata wossa keeth gellida.
The brethren at once sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea, and they, on their arrival, 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.
The Jews at Beroea were of a nobler disposition than those in Thessalonica, for they very readily received the Message, and day after day searched the Scriptures to see whether it was as Paul stated.
12 Hessa gish isttafe daroo asay ammanides. qasseka isttara qoodan darooti bonchetida girkke dere maccashatine Addetikka ammanida.
As the result many of them became believers, and so did not a few of the Greeks--gentlewomen of good position, and men.
13 Teslonqqen diza Ayhuda asati Phawulossay Xoossa qaala Beriyankka sabbakizayssa errida mala dereza denththethanas qassekka gede isttakko bida.
As soon, however, as the Jews of Thessalonica learnt that God's Message had been proclaimed by Paul at Beroea, they came there also, and incited the mob to a riot.
14 Hessa wode ammanizayiti Phawulossa ellesidi gede abba achch yeeddida. Sillaseyne ximtoossay hen attia.
Then the brethren promptly sent Paul down to the sea-coast, but Silas and Timothy remained behind.
15 Phawulossa mooyizida asati iza Atena gaththida. Qassekka Sillaseyne ximmotoossay izakoo elleeli gakkana mala giza kiita Phawulossape ekkidi simmida.
Those who were caring for Paul's safety went with him as far as Athens, and then left him, taking a message from him to Silas and Timothy, asking them to join him as speedily as possible.
16 Phawulossay atenan istta naggishin atena kaataman eqqati kummidayssa beeyidi daroo shenetidees.
While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred within him when he noticed 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 had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the other worshippers, and in the market place, day after day, with those whom he happened to meet.
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.
A few of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also encountered him. Some of them asked, "What has this beggarly babbler to say?" "His business," said others, "seems to be to cry up some foreign gods." This was because he had been telling the Good News of 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.
Then they took him and brought him up to the Areopagus, asking him, "May we be told what this new teaching of yours is?
20 Qasse ne nuna nu hayththan sissiza yooy nu errontta orrath gidida gish izi azzakoone nu errana kooyosu.
For the things you are saying sound strange to us. We should therefore like to be told exactly what they mean."
21 Atena asay kummeth qassekka han diza hara dere asaykka bees wode aththanas orratha yoo hasa7anine siissan attin hara mishshan aththetena.
(For all the Athenians and their foreign visitors used to devote their whole leisure to telling or hearing about something new.)
22 Hessa gish Phawulossay Arriyoshaaththaagossa geetetza dulatan shiiqida dereza sinthtan eqqidi “hayito Atena asato inte beetto mishsh wursii ammanizadentta gididayssa ta beeyayis.
So Paul, taking his stand in the centre of the Areopagus, spoke as follows: "Men of Athens, I perceive that you are in every respect remarkably 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.
For as I passed along and observed the things you worship, I found also an altar bearing the inscription, 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' "The Being, therefore, whom you, without knowing Him, revere, Him I now proclaim to you.
24 Hayssa allamezane iza gidoon diza wursii medhdhida Xoossi izi salone sa7a Goda. Hessa gish izi asa kushshen kexxetida keeththan deena.
GOD who made the universe and everything in it--He, being Lord of Heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries built by men.
25 Izi asa wursioos deyoone shamppo qassekka haraka wursii immizade gidida gish izas paccizazi doontta gish asa kushshepe maado ekkena.
Nor is He ministered to by human hands, as though He needed anything--but He Himself gives to all men 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 caused to spring from one forefather people of every race, for them to live on the whole surface of the earth, and marked out for them an appointed span of life and the boundaries of their homes;
27 Heskka asi Xoossu kooyidine paccidi demmanakoone gidi wothides; Hessi hessa gidikokka izi nupe issi issi urrape hakkida gish gidena.
that they might seek God, if perhaps they could grope for Him and find Him. Yes, 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 it is in closest union with Him that we live and move and have our being; as in fact some of the poets in repute among yourselves 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.
Since then we are God's offspring, we ought not to imagine that His nature resembles gold or silver or marble, or anything sculptured by the art and inventive faculty 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.
Those times of ignorance God viewed with indulgence. But now He commands all men everywhere to repent,
31 Izi ba doosidade baggara biita bolla xiillotethan pirdana gallas bare woththides. Izakka hayqqope denththidi asa wursios hayssa tummatetha errissides.
seeing that He has appointed a day on which, before long, He will judge the world in righteousness, through the instrumentality of a man whom He has pre-destined to this work, and has made the fact certain to every one 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.
When they heard Paul speak of a resurrection of dead men, some began to scoff. But others said, "We will hear you again on that subject."
33 Herakka Phawulossay istta gidoofe keezi bidees.
So Paul went away 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.
A few, however, attached themselves to him and believed, among them being Dionysius a member of the Council, a gentlewoman named Damaris, and some others.
