Kitetidayta Ootho 20
1 Asay coou gidape guye Phawulossay ammanizayta issi bolla xeeyigidi istta minththethiza qaalara zooridape guye istta sarooththidi maqidooniya baana kezzides.
After the people at Ephesus had stopped rioting, Paul summoned the believers. He encouraged them [to continue to trust in the Lord Jesus. Soon] after that, he told them goodbye and left to go to Macedonia [province].
2 Be adhdhi biza deren diza ammaniza asa loo7eth zooren minththethishe Girkke dere bides.
[After he arrived] there, he visited [each town where there were believers], and encouraged them. Then he arrived in Greece [province], [which is also called Achaia].
3 Girkken hedzdzu aginna takkidape guye markkabera Soriya giza dere baanas qoppedes shin Ayhuda asati iza bolla iita ooththana zooretidayssa erridi Maqidonyya baggara baana qoofa qachchides.
He stayed there for three months. Then he planned to return to Syria by ship, but [he heard that] some of the Jews [SYN] [in that area] were planning to kill him [as he traveled. So] he decided instead to go [by land, and he traveled] again through Macedonia.
4 Beriyape Phariyossa na Siphaxxirossa, Tesselonqqepe Arixxirokossane Sikonddossa, Darbbefe Gayiyossayine Ximmotossay Isyyape Xirohaaththaimmossay Tiqiqqossayne izara isfe bida.
The men who were going to travel with him [to Jerusalem were] Sopater, [who was] a son of Pyrrhus, who grew up in Berea [town]; Aristarchus and Secundus, who were from Thessalonica [city; ] Gaius, [who was] from Derbe [town; ] Timothy, [who was from Galatia province; ] and Tychicus and Trophimus who were from Asia [province].
5 Heyiti wuri nupe kassetidi xirooadan nuna naggida.
Those [seven] men went ahead of [Paul and me, Luke, by ship from Macedonia, so] they got to Troas [before we did and] waited for [the two of] us there.
6 Nu qass ukeetha ba77alepe guye pilphphisiyossape markkaben istti dizaso xirooada gizaso ichchachchanththa gallas gakkidi hen lapuun gallas gammidos.
[But we two(exc) traveled by land as far as] Philippi [city]. After the Jewish festival [when they eat] unleavened bread, we got on a ship [that was going from] the port near [Philippi to Troas city]. After five days we [(exc)] arrived at Troas and we met the other men who had traveled there [ahead of us]. Then we [all] stayed in Troas for seven days.
7 Saminttape kooyro woogga gallas isfe kaththi maanas nu shiiqi dishin Phawulossay wontto baanas koshiza gish shiiqida asas qaala yootishin izi yooza giddi gidi doothu gakkanaas adussidees.
(On Sunday evening/On the evening of the first day of the week), we [(exc) and the other believers there] gathered together to celebrate the Lord’s Supper [and to eat other food] [SYN]. Paul spoke to the believers. He continued teaching them until midnight, because he was planning to leave [Troas] the next day.
8 Bolla fooqen daroo poo77oy dizason nu shiiqidos.
Many [oil] lamps were burning in the upstairs room in which we [(exc)] had gathered, [so the fumes caused some people to become sleepy].
9 Awuxxekkise geetettiza issi natetha nay maskkote bolla uttidishe Phawulossay yooza adussidayssape denddidayssan dhiskkoy ekki bides; wolqama dhiskkoon xoonetidi bolla hedzdzanththo fooqepe duge kunddin asay denththiza wode hayqeeth gidides.
A young man whose name was Eutychus was there. He was seated on [the sill of] an [open] window [on the third story of the house]. As Paul continued talking for a long time, Eutychus became sleepier and sleepier. Finally, he was sound/really asleep. He fell [out of the window] from the third story down [to the ground. Some of the believers went down] immediately and picked him up. [But he was] dead.
10 Gido attin Phawulossay duge wodhdhidi naza bolla hokkidi iddimmidine “hayqqibeyna paxxa dees, daggammopite!” gides.
Paul [also] went down. He lay down and stretched out on top of the young man and put his arms around him. Then he said [to the people who were standing around], “Do not worry, he is alive [again now]!”
11 Phawulossay hessafe puude fooqe keezidi ukkeetha menththidi ammanizaytara mides; gadey wonttana gakkanaas asatara hasa7eteshe gammidi bides.
Then Paul, [along with the others], went upstairs again and they ate the Lord’s Supper and other food [SYN]. Afterwards, Paul conversed with the believers until dawn. Then he left.
12 Asaykka hayqoope paxxida naza gede izasoo ehaaththaidi wurkka uhaaththaaetides.
The [other] people took the young man [home], and were greatly encouraged because he was alive [again].
13 Nu Phawulossa Markkaben gelththana kooyida gish kasetidi markkaben asona gizasoo bidos; nu hessa ooththiday Phawulossay Asoona gakkanaas toora baana kooyida gishassine nu sinthth baana mala izi azazida gishaskko.
We then went to the ship. Paul did not get on the ship [with us in Troas], because he preferred to go [more quickly] overland to Assos [town]. The rest of us got on the ship and sailed for Assos.
14 Nu izara asoonen gaagidi izi markkaben gelin izara isfe mixxilinne bidos.
We [(exc)] met Paul in Assos. He got on [the ship] with us, and we sailed to Mitylene [town].
15 Wonttetha gallas hepe denddidi sinththara diza kiyose gizasoo gakkidos; qasse wonttetha gallas sammini gizaso pinddi heepe wonttetha gallas miliixe gakkidos.
The day after [we reached Mitylene], we [sailed from there and] arrived [at a place] near Kios [Island]. The day after that, we sailed to Samos [Island]. The next day we [left Samos and] sailed to Miletus [town].
16 phenxxeqosxxe giza Ayhudata pazziga ba77ale bees danddaetida mala bonchcana yerussalamen beettena koyidi Izi Isyyan dishin wodey adhdhontta dishin Ehaaththaesone adhdhi baanas kooyides.
[Miletus was just south of Ephesus city]. Paul had [earlier] decided that he would not get on a ship that would stop at Ephesus, because he did not want to spend [several] days in Asia [province]. If possible, he wanted to arrive in Jerusalem by the [time of the] Pentecost festival, [and the time of that festival was near].
17 Phawulossay Milxxinepe Ehaaththaesone wossa keeththa ciimata ase kittidi xeeygisides.
[When the ship arrived at] Miletus, Paul sent [a messenger] to Ephesus to ask the elders of the congregation to come to talk with him.
18 Isttikka yiin Phawulossay istta hizzgides “ta Isyya geello gaallasape ha simmin wursio wode ta intenara wana wana deyidakkone inte ereta.
When the elders arrived, Paul said to them, “You personally know how I [conducted myself among you the entire time] that I was with you, from the first day when I arrived [here] in Asia [province until the day I left].
19 Ayhudati ta bolla asa denththidi hilida geedon daroo metoy ta bolla gakkikokka ta kummetha ashiketetharane ayifunththara Godas ooththadis; coo denbbankka inte intesoon ta intena tamaarisashshe go7izayssa wursia intes yootadis attin intena goiza mishshafe aykkokka ashshabeykke.
[You know how] I was serving the Lord [Jesus] very humbly and how I sometimes wept [about people. You also know how] I suffered because the Jews [SYN] [who were not believers often] tried [to harm me].
20 Ayhuda asata gidinkka Girikke asa gidinkka marootethan gellidi Xoossako simmana malane Goda Yesussan ammanana mala loo77etha yootadis.
You also know that, as I preached [God’s message] to you, I never left out anything that would help you. You know that I taught you [God’s message] when many people were present, and I [also went to your] homes and taught it there.
I preached both to Jews and to non-Jews, telling them [all] that they must turn away from their sinful behavior. [I also told them they should] believe in our Lord Jesus.”
22 Haikka ta he gakkishin ta bolla azzi gakkanakkone errikeshin Xiillo ayanay tana azazida mala Yerusalame bayis.
“And now note this: I am going to Jerusalem, because [God’s] Spirit has clearly shown me that I must go there. I do not know what will happen to me [while I am there].
23 Hen duuma duuma tana qachchoyine metoy nagizayssa xiillo ayanay tas yootides.
But I do know that in each city [where I have stopped], the Holy Spirit has (told me/[caused the believers to] tell me) that [in Jerusalem] people will put me in prison [PRS] and will cause me to suffer [PRS].
24 Gido attin Goda Yesussay tas immida wotha woxxa wurssana gakanassinne ooso ta polana gakkanaas ta ta shemppos michchetike; tas immetida oothoykka Xoossa mishshirachcho qaala yootokko.
But I do not care even if people kill me, if first I am able to finish the work [MET] that the Lord Jesus has told me [to do. He appointed me] to tell people the good message that God [saves us] by doing for us what we do not deserve.
25 Ha7i gakkanaas ta inte giidoon simeristashe Xoossa kawooteth sabbakkadis; Sima hayssafe guye intefe oonnikka mulekka ta ayfeso beeyonttayssa ta errays.
I have preached to you the message about how God desires to rule [people’s lives]. But now I know that today is the last time that you fellow believers will see me [SYN].
26 Hessa gish intefe issadeykka dhaykko ta oychchetonttayssa hach ta intena errisayss.
So I want you all to understand that if anyone [who has heard me preach] dies [without trusting in Jesus], it is not my fault [MTY],
27 Ayss giikko ta Xoossa qohaaththaa ubbaa intes yootadis attin aykkokka ta yootontta ashshidayss deenna.
because I told you [LIT] everything [HYP] that God has planned for us [(inc)].
28 Xiillo ayanay intena Xoossa dorssata hemmanas shuumides; Hessa gish inte hu7esine Xoossa dorssatas naggettite; Goday ba suththan wozzida wossa keethiyo naggiite.
[You leaders] must continue to believe and obey [God’s message. You must also help] all the other believers [MET] for whom the Holy Spirit has caused you to be responsible [MTY]. Watch over [MET] yourselves and the other believers [as] a shepherd [watches over his sheep]. God bought them with the blood [that flowed from] his [Son’s body on the cross].
29 Ta bidape guye Xoossa dorssatas michchetontta iita asati inte garss gellanayssa ta errayis.
I know [very well] that after I leave, [people who teach] [MET] [false doctrines] will come among you and will do great harm to the believers. [They will be like] fierce wolves [that kill sheep].
30 Hessaththokka issi issi asati inte garssafe denddidi geella yoo intena tamaarisidi ammaniza asape daroota gede beekko zaarana.
Even in your own group of believers there will be some who will deceive [other] believers by teaching them messages that are false. They will teach those messages so that some people [will believe them and] will become their followers.
31 Hessa gish intena issa issa hedzdzu laythth qaamane gallas ayfunxxa zoridayssa yuushi qopitene naggettite.
So watch out [that none of you stops believing the true message about our Lord Jesus]. Remember that day and night for [about] three years I repeatedly taught you that message, and warned you with tears [in my eyes not to believe any other message].”
32 Ha7ikka intena Xoossas miinisi eesanassine ammanizayta giidoon intes lataso immanas danddaiza iza adhdho keeyatetha qaalas ta hadara immadis.
“[Now as I leave you], I ask God to protect you and to keep you believing the message [that he saves us(inc)] by doing for us what we do not deserve. [If you continue believing] the message [that I told you], you will become [spiritually mature], and God will give you the blessings that he has promised to give to all of those who belong to him.
33 Ta oonna biirakka worqqa woykko mayoo ammotabeykke.
[As for myself], I have not desired anyone’s money [MTY] or [fine] clothing.
34 Ta ta kushen ooththa ooththada tas maaddistada tanara dizayitakka maaddidayssa intekka errista.
You yourselves know that I have worked [with my hands] [MTY] to earn the money that my companions and I needed.
35 (Ha ekkizadefe gede immizadey anjjetidade) giza Goda Yesussa qaala nu yushi qopidi nurkka nu nu kushera ooththi demmidi hara dabburanchata gede maaddana nus bessizayssa ta intena daroo duuma duuma oggera beesadis.
In everything that I did, I showed you that we [(inc)] should work hard in order [to have enough money] to give some to those who are needy. We [(inc)] should remember that our Lord Jesus himself said, ‘You are happy when people give you what you need, but God will be happy with you when you give other people what they need.’”
36 Hessafe guye Phawulossay wursio asara gullibatidi wossides.
When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of the elders and prayed.
37 Asay wuri yekkidi Phawulossa iddimmi oykkidi yeerides.
They all cried a lot, and they hugged Paul and kissed him.
38 Harapeka istti daroo michchetiday izi “hai inte nam77anththo tana beeyekkista” gida gishshaskko; Iza markkabekko gakkanaas moyziida.
They were especially sad because he had said that they would never see him [SYN] again. Then they [all] went with him to the ship.
