Kitetidayta Ootho 22
1 “Ta ishato, ta aawato ta bolla wordo wothidayssas ta intes immiza maliththe siyite!”
Men, brethren, and fathers, hear now my apology unto you.
2 Izi Isra7eele nayta qaalara hasa7ishin siyidi kasepe asay coou gides; Phawulossaykka hasao gujjidi hizzgides.
And hearing that he was speaking to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept silent the more.
3 “Tani kilqqiya garssan diza Xerssese kaataman yeelettida Ayhuda asa; Ta dicciday gidikko haanno yerussalamenkko; Ta nu aawata woga ubbaa Gammalyyaleppe lo7etha tamaaradissene inte hachchi ooththizayssatho Xoossas suure wozinape ooththashe deyadis.
And he says, I am Jewish man, having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, having been brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel according to the accuracy of patristic law, being a zealot of God, as you all are this day;
4 Hayssa ha oggeza kaalliza asata wursia wodhdhana gakkanaas Godaaththiza asakkoshin; maccatane addista qachcha qachcha qachcho keeth yeedizadekoshin.
who after this way persecuted unto death, binding and committing to prison both men and women;
5 Haysi wuri tumu gididayssa qeessista halaqqatine dere cimmatkka wuri tas markkatana; haray attoshin Damasqqon diza ammaniza asa qachch Yerusalame ehada qaxxayssanas Damasqqon dizaytas xaahaaththaetida debbidabe qeeseta halaqatappenne dere cimmatappe ekkadis” gides.
as the high priest also, and all the eldership, witnessed me: from whom having also received letters from the brethren in Damascus, I was on my way, being about to lead them also hither into Jerusalem bound, that they might be punished.
6 Tani damasqqo bishinine kaatama gelana matishin seeta gallas ta qoppontta dishin salope wolqama poo7oy tana yuuy adhdhi poo7ides.
And it came to pass, while I was journeying, and nigh unto Damascus, a great light, about midday, suddenly shone from heaven around me;
7 He wode tani biita bolla kunddada Sawulle! Sawulle! ne tana aazas gooddazi? giza qaala siyadis.
and I felt upon the ground, and heard a voice, saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8 Takka (Godo ne oonne?) gadiis; Izikka (ta neni gooddiza naazerete Yesussakko) gides.
And I responded, Who art thou, Lord? And He said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom thou art persecuting.
9 Tanara isfe diza asati poo7oza beeyida attin izi tanara hasaishin qaala siyabeyitena.
And those being along with me saw the light indeed, but heard not the voice of the one speaking to me.
10 Takka (Godo ta ayy ooso? Gadis; Godaykka (denddada Damasqqo ba, ne ooththanayssa isti nees hen yootana) gides.
And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rising up, go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee concerning all things which have been ordained for thee to do.
11 Poo7oza xolliqqetetha daroope dendidayssan ta xeelanas dandda7abeykke; tanara diza asati ta kushe oykki gochchidi tana Damasqqo gaththida.
And when I did not see on account of the glory of that light, and being led by the hand by those journeying with me, I came into Damascus.
12 hananiya geetettiza issadey hen dees; Hananiyay Damasqqon diza Ayhudata achchan daroo gallatetidadenne wogga bonchiza asa.
And a certain Ananias, a man godly according to the law, and of good report by all the Jews dwelling there,
13 Izi ta achch shiiq eqqidi (ta isha sawulle ne ayfey qassekka xeello) gides; Herakka ta ayfey iza xeelladis.
having come to me, and standing over me, said, Brother Saul, look up. And I at that hour looked up unto him.
14 Izikka tana hizzgides (nu aawantta xoossay ne iza sheene errana mala iza xiilloza ne beeyana malane izi gizayssa ne siyana mala nena kasseti doorides.
And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee to know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice from His mouth;
15 Izi hessa ooththiday ne beeyidayssane siydayssa asa wurso sinththan izas ne markkatanaskko.
because thou shalt be a witness for Him to all men of those things which thou hast seen and heard.
16 Histtin ha7i aazas gamm7azi denddada iza sunththu xeeyigada xammaqista, ne nagarapekka meccista.)
And now why tarriest thou? arising, be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on His name.
17 Hessafe guye ta Yerusalame simmada Xoossa keeththan wossishin ajjutay tas beettides.
And it happened unto me, having returned into Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, I was in an ecstasy;
18 Godaykka tas qonccidi “ne ta gish immana markkateth istti ekkontta gish ne gammi7ontta dashe Yerussalamepe ellela keeza!” gides.
and I saw Him speaking to me, Hasten, and depart quickly out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19 Takka izas hizzgadis “Godo ta Ayhudata wossa keethati dizaso ba baada nena ammanizayta wursia qachchada istta bukkidayssa ba baggara isttikka erretes.
And I said, Lord, they know that I was imprisoning and binding those believing on thee throughout the synagogue;
20 Ne gish markkatiza Isxxifanose asay wodhdhiza wode takka he wohdhiza asata achchan eqqada istti wodhdhizayssa takka dosadissenne wodhdhizayta mayookka nagadis.
and when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I was standing by, and consenting, and keeping the garments of those killing him.
21 Godaykka (Hahoon diza Ayhude gironta asakko ta nena kittiza gish denddada ba) gides.”
And He said to me, Go: because I will send thee far away to the Gentiles.
22 Asay hinno gakkanaas Phawulossa hasa7a wozinappe loo7ethi siyishe aggidi ba qaala dhoqqu histtidi “hayssa mala asi nu biitafe dhayo, hayssa mala asi nu biitan shemppora danas bessena” gishshe wassides.
And they continued to hear him until this word, and lifted up their voice, saying, Take away such a one from the earth: for it is not appropriate for him to live.
23 Asay wassishe ba mayoo qarri qarri wuxxishene biita puude salo dharccides.
And they crying out, and rending their garments, and throwing dust into the air,
24 Ola asa azazizaysi hessa beeyidi Phawulossa wotadarati dizaso gellithana mala azazides; Deereykka iza bolla aazas hessa mala wassizakko errana mala iza garafidi paxxisana mala azazides.
the chiliarch commanded that he should be led into the castle, saying that he should be tested by scourges, in order that he might know on account of what cause they continued so to cry out against him.
25 Gido attin dafon waxxi qachchidi iza garahaaththaana gigeetishin Phawulossay ba achchan eqqida issi xeetu wotadarata hallaqas “Rome as gidazade pirday bayinida garehaaththaanas intes fiiqadey dize?” gides.
And when they were extending him to the scourges, Paul said to the centurion standing by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?
26 Xeetu wotadarata hallaqay hessa siyida mala gede halaqata azazizayssakko biidi “ay ooththana gaaz? haysi addezi Rome asakko” gides.
And the centurion hearing, having come to the chiliarch, announced to him, saying, What are you about to do? for this man is a Roman.
27 Hessa gish halaqata azazizayssi Phawulossako shiiqidi “ane taas yoota, ne Rome ase?” gides; Izikka “Ee ta Rome asa” gides.
And the chiliarch, having come to him, said; Tell me, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes.
28 Azazizayssikka “ta Rome asa gidanas daroo mishshe qanxxada shaammadis” giin Phawulossay “tani gidiko Romen yeellistadis” gides.
And the chiliarch responded, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was indeed born (a Roman citizen).
29 Hessa gish iza marimaranas gigettida asati herakka iza achchafe hakkida; azazizayssikka izi Rome as sanththalatan qachchidayssa yuushsh qoppidi babbides.
Then immediately those about to scourge him departed from him: and the chiliarch also feared, knowing that he was a Roman, and that he had bound him.
30 Wonttetha gallas azazizayssi Ayudati Phawulossa motiza ayfe yooy azakone erranas koyides; qessista hallaqatine Ayhudata shengeo dulata asay wuri issadeykka attontta kumeth shiiqana mala azazides; Phawulossakka qashoppe birshidi shiiqida asa sinthth shishshi esides.
And on the following day, wishing to know the certainty as to what he is accused of by the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the sanhedrin to come together, and leading down Paul, he placed him in their midst.
