Kitetidayta Ootho 18
1 Hessafe guye Phawulossay atenape denddidi qoronttossa kaatama bides.
On leaving Athens, Paul next went to Corinth.
2 Heenkka Phanxxoossan yeeletida Aqqila geetettizade ayhuda asi demmides; Izikka Ayhudati wuri roomepe kezana mala qalawodossa geetettiza Roome kawooy azazida mala ba machchiyo Phirisqqillara mata wode xaalane derepe yidade; Phawulossay istta beeyanas he isttako biides.
There he met a Jew of the name of Aquila, from Pontus, who, with his wife Priscilla, had lately come from Italy, in consequence of the order which had been issued by the Emperor Claudius for all Jews to leave Rome. Paul paid them a visit,
3 Izikka isttaththo dunkkana sikkizade gidida gish istta achchan uttidi dunkkana sikkon gellides.
and, since their trade was the same as his, he stayed and worked with them – their trade was tent-making.
4 Sambbata sambbata gallas Ayhudata wossa keeththan ayuhudistarane girkke asatara hessa7etishe istta ammanththanas baxxetides.
Every Sabbath Paul gave addresses in the synagogue, trying to convince both Jews and Greeks.
5 Sillaseyine Ximmottossay Maqqidooniyape duge izakko wodhdhin Phawulossay sabbakon miinidi Yesussay izi Kiristtossa gididayssa Ayhudatas markkatides.
But, when Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself entirely to delivering the message, earnestly maintaining before the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6 Gido attin istti izara eqqetidi iza caayda gish Phawulossay ba mayoo qoqqofiidi “ta intefe xiillo, inte suththa gomey inte bolla gido, hessa gish ta gede ayhuda gidoontta deretakko bays” gidees.
However, as they set themselves against him and became abusive, Paul shook his clothes in protest and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads. My conscience is clear. From this time forward I will go to the Gentiles.”
7 Heepe keezidi Titoosa Iyosxxossa geetettizas Xoossu wossizadesoo bides; He addeza keethay ayhudista wossa keeththa achchan dees.
So he left, and went to the house of a certain Titius Justus, who had been accustomed to join in the worship of God, and whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Ayhudata wossa keeththa halaqay Qerrisphphossay besoo asa wursiora Goda ammanides; Phawulossay yootishin siyida daroo qoronttoossa kaatama asay ammanidi xaammaqeetides.
Crispus, the synagogue leader, came to believe in the Lord, and so did all his household; and many of the Corinthians, as they listened to Paul, became believers in Christ and were baptized.
9 Goday qaman ajjutan Phawulossa “babboofa! yoota co77u gooppa!
One night the Lord said to Paul, in a vision, “Have no fear, but continue to speak, and refuse to be silenced;
10 Ta nenara dayss oonnkka ne bolla denddi nena qohana dandda7ena; haano ha kaatamayin tas daroo asi dees” gides.
for I am with you, and no one will do you harm, for I have many people in this city.”
11 Hessa gish Phawulossay Xoossa qaala asa tammarisishe issi layththine bagga isttara uttides.
So he settled there for a year and a half, and taught God’s message among the people.
12 Galyyossa geetettiza dere ayszzadey akkayan diza wode ayhudati isfe gididi Phawulossa bolla deenddida; pirda wombbara sinththi shishshdi.
While Gallio was governor of Greece, some of the Jewish leaders made a combined attack on Paul, and brought him before the Governor’s Bench,
13 “Hayisi addeezi wogape karera asay Xoossas goynana mala asa baleththees” gida.
charging him with persuading people to worship God in a way forbidden by the Law.
14 Phawulossay hasa7ana buroo duuna doyishin galyyossay Ayhudata inteno ayhude asato inte shishshida yooy dere denthththetho woyikko dere giita meetoon yeegiza yoo gididakko ta wozzinape siyanashin.
Just as Paul was on the point of speaking, Gallio said to them, “If this were a case of misdemeanor or some serious crime, there would be some reason for my listening patiently to you;
15 Gido attin inte palammay issi issi qaalata gishine issi sisi sunththata gish qassekka inte woga gishas gidida gish inte hen inte baggara wursisiite, ta heyssa mala yoo pirdanas kooykke” gides.
but, since it is a dispute about words, and names, and your own Law, you must see to it yourselves. I do not choose to be a judge in such matters.”
16 Hessa gish pirda wombbara sinththafe istta keessides.
Saying this, he drove them back from the Bench.
17 He wode wurkka ayhude wossa keeththa hallaqa sositinesse geetettizayssa oykkidi pirde keeththa sinththan qoxxeerethida; Galyyossay gidikko hessa wudankka giibeyina.
Then they all set on Sosthenes, the synagogue leader, and beat him in front of the Bench, but Gallio did not trouble himself about any of these things.
18 Hessafe guye Phawulossay qoronttosa kaataman daroo wode gammi7des. Hepekka amaniza asay mooyizin Phirssiqilarane Aqqillara isfe markkaben gellidi Sooriya geetettizaso bides; tassala dizayssa gaththana kinkkira7osse geetettiza soon ba hu7e meydetides.
Paul remained there some time after this, and then took leave of the followers, and sailed to Syria with Priscilla and Aquila, but not before his head had been shaved at Cenchreae, because he was under a vow.
19 Efesoone gakkida mala Phirisqqilane Aqqila heni aggagidi Phawulossay Ayhudata wossa keeth gellidi Ayhudatara hasa7etides.
They put into Ephesus, and there Paul, leaving his companions, went into the synagogue and addressed the Jews.
20 Benara gammi7ana mala istti oychchin izi akkaye giidi ixxides.
When they asked him to prolong his stay, he declined, saying however,
21 Gido attin izi isttafe shaaketishe “Xoossa sheene gidikko ta simmada yaana” gides; Efesoonepe dendidi markkaben gellidi bidees.
as he took his leave, “I will come back again to you, please God,” and then set sail from Ephesus.
22 Qissariya gizaso gakkidape guye keezidi ammanizayta saroo giidi hepe Anxxokkiya wodhdhides.
On reaching Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and exchanged greetings with the church, and then went down to Antioch.
23 Anxxokkyan guuththa wode taakkidape guye heepe denddidi galattiya baggarane firggiya geetettiza deretara yuuy adhdhidi ammanizayita minththethides.
After making some stay in Antioch, he set out on a tour through the Phrygian district of Galatia, strengthening the faith of all the disciples as he went.
24 He wode issi Iskkinidiryya kataman yeellettida Aphphilossa geetettiza issi Ayuda asi ehaaththaesone yides; Izikka tammaridadene geshsha maxaafata loo7ethi errizadekko.
Meanwhile there had come to Ephesus an Alexandrian Jew, named Apollos, an eloquent man, who was well-versed in the scriptures.
25 Izi Goda ogge tammaridadene Yesussa gish balay bayinida hasaizadene xiillo ayanan xuugetishe tammarisizade; gido attin izi loo7ethi errizay yanssa xinqqate xaalala.
He had been well-instructed in the Way of the Lord, and with burning zeal he spoke of, and taught carefully, the facts about Jesus, though he knew of no baptism but John’s.
26 Izikka ayhuda wossa keeththan babbontta yooto oykkides; Phirisqqilayne Aqqiilay izi gizayssa siyidine iza gede ba soo ehaaththaidi Xoossa ogge iza kassepe loo7ethi errissida.
This man began to speak out fearlessly in the synagogue; and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home and explained the Way of God to him more carefully still.
27 APhilossay gede akkaya baanas kooyin ammanizayti iza minththethida; Hen diza ammaniza asaykka iza mookki ekkana mala izas dabbidabe xaafida; Izi he gakkida mala izas diza immotape denddidayssan ammanizayta daroo maddizade gidides.
When he wanted to cross to Greece, the followers furthered his plans, and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival he proved of great assistance to those who had, through the loving kindness of God, become believers in Christ,
28 Geeshsha maxaafata hessa hayssara gaththi markkas markkas Yesussay izi kiristtossa gididayssa Ayhudatara daroo palammettidi dere sinththan istta laththides.
for he vigorously confuted the Jews, publicly proving by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
