Kitetidayta Ootho 18

1 Hessafe guye Phawulossay atenape denddidi qoronttossa kaatama bides.

After this he left Athens and came 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.

Here he found a Jew, a native of Pontus, of the name of Aquila. He and his wife Priscilla had recently come from Italy because of Claudius's edict expelling all the Jews from Rome. So Paul paid them a visit;

3 Izikka isttaththo dunkkana sikkizade gidida gish istta achchan uttidi dunkkana sikkon gellides.

and because he was of the same trade--that of tent-maker--he lodged with them and worked with them.

4 Sambbata sambbata gallas Ayhudata wossa keeththan ayuhudistarane girkke asatara hessa7etishe istta ammanththanas baxxetides.

But, Sabbath after Sabbath, he preached in the synagogue and tried to win over both Jews and Greeks.

5 Sillaseyine Ximmottossay Maqqidooniyape duge izakko wodhdhin Phawulossay sabbakon miinidi Yesussay izi Kiristtossa gididayssa Ayhudatas markkatides.

Now at the time when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was preaching fervently and was solemnly telling the Jews that Jesus is 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.

But upon their opposing him with abusive language, he shook his clothes by way of protest, and said to them, "Your ruin will be upon your own heads. I am not responsible: in future I will go among the Gentiles."

7 Heepe keezidi Titoosa Iyosxxossa geetettizas Xoossu wossizadesoo bides; He addeza keethay ayhudista wossa keeththa achchan dees.

So he left the place and went to the house of a person called Titius Justus, a worshipper of the true God. His 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.

And Crispus, the Warden of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, and so did all his household; and from time to time many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and received baptism.

9 Goday qaman ajjutan Phawulossa “babboofa! yoota co77u gooppa!

And, in a vision by night, the Lord said to Paul, "Dismiss your fears: go on speaking, and do not give up.

10 Ta nenara dayss oonnkka ne bolla denddi nena qohana dandda7ena; haano ha kaatamayin tas daroo asi dees” gides.

I am with you, and no one shall attack you to injure you; for I have very many people in this city."

11 Hessa gish Phawulossay Xoossa qaala asa tammarisishe issi layththine bagga isttara uttides.

So Paul remained in Corinth for a year and six months, teaching among them the Message of God.

12 Galyyossa geetettiza dere ayszzadey akkayan diza wode ayhudati isfe gididi Phawulossa bolla deenddida; pirda wombbara sinththi shishshdi.

But when Gallio became Proconsul of Greece, the Jews with one accord made a dead set at Paul, and brought him before the court.

13 “Hayisi addeezi wogape karera asay Xoossas goynana mala asa baleththees” gida.

"This man," they said, "is inducing people to offer unlawful worship to God."

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.

But, when Paul was about to begin his defence, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it had been some wrongful act or piece of cunning knavery I might reasonably have listened to you Jews.

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 these are questions about words and names and your Law, you yourselves must see to them. I refuse to be a judge in such matters."

16 Hessa gish pirda wombbara sinththafe istta keessides.

So he ordered them out of court.

17 He wode wurkka ayhude wossa keeththa hallaqa sositinesse geetettizayssa oykkidi pirde keeththa sinththan qoxxeerethida; Galyyossay gidikko hessa wudankka giibeyina.

Then the people all set upon Sosthenes, the Warden of the synagogue, and beat him severely in front of the court. Gallio did not concern himself in the least about this.

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.

After remaining a considerable time longer in Corinth, Paul took leave of the brethren and set sail for Syria; and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had shaved his head at Cenchreae, because he was bound by a vow.

19 Efesoone gakkida mala Phirisqqilane Aqqila heni aggagidi Phawulossay Ayhudata wossa keeth gellidi Ayhudatara hasa7etides.

They put in at Ephesus, and there Paul left his companions behind. As for himself, he went to the synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

20 Benara gammi7ana mala istti oychchin izi akkaye giidi ixxides.

When they asked him to remain longer he did not consent,

21 Gido attin izi isttafe shaaketishe “Xoossa sheene gidikko ta simmada yaana” gides; Efesoonepe dendidi markkaben gellidi bidees.

but took leave of them with the promise, "I will return to you, God willing." So he set sail from Ephesus.

22 Qissariya gizaso gakkidape guye keezidi ammanizayta saroo giidi hepe Anxxokkiya wodhdhides.

Landing at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and inquired after the welfare of 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 spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out on a tour, visiting the whole of Galatia and Phrygia in order, and strengthening all the disciples.

24 He wode issi Iskkinidiryya kataman yeellettida Aphphilossa geetettiza issi Ayuda asi ehaaththaesone yides; Izikka tammaridadene geshsha maxaafata loo7ethi errizadekko.

Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria, a man of great learning and 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 instructed by word of mouth in the way of the Lord, and, being full of burning zeal, he used to speak and teach accurately 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.

He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Priscilla and Aquila, after hearing him, took him home and explained God's way to him more accurately.

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.

Then, as he had made up his mind to cross over into Greece, the brethren wrote to the disciples in Corinth begging them to give him a kindly welcome. Upon his arrival he rendered valuable help to those who through grace had believed;

28 Geeshsha maxaafata hessa hayssara gaththi markkas markkas Yesussay izi kiristtossa gididayssa Ayhudatara daroo palammettidi dere sinththan istta laththides.

for he powerfully and in public overcame the Jews in argument, proving to them from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
