Kitetidayta Ootho 23
1 Phawulossay duulata asa tiishi histti xeellidi “ta ishato hach gakkanaas ta Xoossa sinththan loo7o qohaaththaara dayss” gides.
And Paul, looking earnestly upon the Sanhedrim, said: Brethren, I have lived in all good conscience toward God to this day.
2 Qeessista hallaqa hananiyay qasse Phawulossa duunan shoccana mala iza achchan eqqidayta azazides.
And the chief priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by to smite him on the mouth.
3 Herakka Phawulossay Hananiya “Haysso paanara tiyetida keethazo; nenakka Xoossi shoccana; wogara pirdana uttada wogay baayindda tana shoccana mala azazazi?” gidees.
Then Paul said to him: God will smite you, you whitened wall! for do you sit to judge me according to the law, and yet violate the law by commanding me to be smitten?
4 He wode hen diza asay Phawulossa “Xoossa qeessista hallaqa cayazii?” gidees.
And those who stood by said: Do you revile God’s chief priest?
5 Phawulossaykka isttas “ta ishato! izi qeessista hallaqa gididayssa errabeykke; Gasooykka (he dere hallaqa bolla iitta qaala gooppa) gizayssi xaafetides” gides.
And Paul replied: I did not know, brethren, that he was the chief priest: for it is written, You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people.
6 Phawulossay hen diza asape baggay Saduqqawista, baggay Parisawista gididayssa erridine “Ta ishto! ta Parisawepe yeelistadsine; takka parisawe hekko hai ta pirdistana shiiqiday hayqqidayti denddanayssa ta uhaaththaays ooththiza gishshasa” giidi ba qaala dhoqu histtidi duulata asa sinththan yootides.
But when Paul perceived that one part belonged to the Sadducees, and the other to the Pharisees, he cried out, in the Sanhedrim: Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; for the hope of the resurrection of the dead am I judged.
7 Phawulossay hessa yootida mala Parisawista gidoonine Saduqqawista gidoon oshshi denddin duulatay nam77u shaaketi wodhdhides.
And when he had said this, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude was divided.
8 Gasooykka Saduqqaweti hayqqidaytas denththi deena, kitanchaykka bawa, ayanaykka dena gizayta, parisaweti qasse heyiti wurkka dettes gi ammanizayita.
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection; neither angel nor spirit: but the Pharisees acknowledge both. And there arose a great clamor. And the scribes, on the part of the Pharisees, arose and contended, saying:
9 Hessa wode daroo shiroy asa garssan haniddes; Parisawista baggata gidida issi issi Musse woga tamaarizayiti denddidi “nu hayssa addeza bolla aykokka iita mishsh demmibeykko; ayanay woyikko kitanchay izas yootida gidana; nu ay errizoni?” giidi palammettida.
We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
10 Pallamay minni minni bida gish asay Phawulossa tarsherethonta mala babbidi halaqata azazizayssi “duge wodhdhidi Phawulossa asa gidoofe ha kessi ekki yitdi gede ola asati dizaso ehaaththaite!” giidi olla asa halaqata azazides.
And when there arose a great dissension, the officer, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the fortress.
11 Wonttetha gaalas giiddi giiddoth Goday Phawulossa achchan eqqidi “aykkoy ba ne Yerusalamen tas markkatidayssatho Romenkka ne tas markkatanas beses” gides.
And on the following night, the Lord stood by him, and said: Take courage; for as you have testified of me in Jerusalem, so must you testify also in Rome.
12 Gadety wonttin ayhuda asati shiqettidi “nu phawulossa wodhdhontta dishe kathth mokko, haththekka uyookko” gi caaqettida.
And when it was day, the Jews combined together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13 Hessa he maqqozan isfe gidida asa qooday oyddu taamafe bollara dees.
And there were more than forty who formed this conspiracy.
14 Isttikka qeessista hallaqatakonne dere ciimatakko biidi isttas hizzgida “nu Phawulossa wodhdhontta dishe kathth montta mala minththi caaqqidos.
And they went to the chief priests and elders, and said: We have surely bound ourselves under a curse, that we will taste nothing till we have killed Paul.
15 Hessa gidida gish inte dere ciimatara zooretidi iza keehi marammariza misatidi istti intes Phawulossa ehana mala azazizayssa oychchite; Nukka izi ha hano gakkanape kasetidi iza wodhdhana gigetidos.”
Now, therefore, do you, together with the Sanhedrim, give notice to the officer, that he bring him down to you to-morrow, as if you intended to inquire more accurately into the matters concerning him: and before he comes near, we are ready to kill him.
16 Gido attin issi Phawulossas michchi nay hessa istta maqqoza siyida gish wotadarati dizaso bi geellidi yooza Phawulossas yootides.
But the son of Paul’s sister heard of the plot, and he went and entered the fortress, and told Paul.
17 Phawulossaykka xeistata hallaqatape issa bekko xeeyigidi “hayssi nazi olla asa azazizayssas yootiza yoy diza gish gede izakko ehaaththaa gides.
And Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said: Conduct this young man to the officer, for he has something to tell him.
18 Xeistata hallaqay naaza wana azazizayossakko ekki geellidi “qachchetida Phawulossay tana bekko xeeygidi hayssi naazi nes yootiza yooy diza gish ta iza neekko shishshana mala tana wossides” gides.
So he took him, and led him to the officer, and said: The prisoner Paul called me to him, and requested me to conduct this young man to you; for he has something to tell you.
19 Azazizayssikka naaza kushshe oykki ekkidi haraso pooqidi “Ne tas yootanaysi azze?) giidi iza dumma oychchides.
And the officer took him by the hand, and went aside with him privately, and inquired: What is it that you have to tell me?
20 Nazikka “ayhuda asati Phawulossa yooza loeththi maramarizade milatissidi wontto ne iza isttas shishshana mala oychchanas qachchi woththida.
He answered: The Jews have agreed to request you to bring Paul down into the Sanhedrim to-morrow, as if they intended to inquire something more accurately concerning him.
21 Gido attin ne isttas erro gooppa; Gasooykka (nu iza wodhdhontta dishe kathth mokko haththeka uyokko) giidi caaqqettidayti oyddu taamafe bolla gidiza asi iza wodhdhanas ogge bolla zugges; Ha7i istti nagizay ne malithe xalala” gidees.
Do not, however, be persuaded by them; for more than forty men of them are lying in wait for him; and they have bound themselves under a curse, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him. And now they are ready, waiting for a promise from you.
22 Azazizayssikka “ne hayssa tas yootidayssa hara oonnakka errissofa” giidi naaza mooyzzides.
Then the officer sent the young man away, with this charge: Tell no one that you have made these things known to me.
23 Hessafe guye olanchata azazizayssi xeetu hallaqatape nam77ata xeeyigidi “qammape hedzdzu saate gidishin Qisariya gizaso bana mala nam77u xeetu olla asata, lappun taamu toga asstanne, nam77u xeetu toora asa gigissite.
And he called to him two centurions, and said: Make ready two hundred soldiers, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, that they may depart to Cæsarea at the third hour of the night.
24 Phawulossaskka paara gigissidi dere hariza filkkissekko loo7o gakkana mala oththite gides.
And provide beasts on which they may set Paul, and take him in safety to Felix the governor.
25 Dabbidabe hizgi xaafides;
And he wrote a letter in this form:
26 “Deere harzza boncho Filkkisas, Qalawudossa Lusyyossappe; saarotethi nees gido.
Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting:
27 Hayssa addeza Ayhuda asati oykki wodhdhana gishin izi Rome assi gididayssa ta gakka errida gish olla asatara gakkada ashshadis.
This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them. Then I went with soldiers, and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
28 Istti iza aazas motizakonne ta errana koyada dere duulatakko shishshadis.
But wishing to know the cause for which they accused him, I brought him down into their Sanhedrim.
29 Istti iza bolla shishshida mootoy ba woga gish gididayssa erradis; Gido attin iza hayqqoss woykko qachcchos gaththiza miishshi denna.
And I found that he was accused about questions of their law, but had nothing worthy of death or of bonds charged against him.
30 Hayssa addeza wodhdhanas asay maqetidayssa ta siyada herakka siyida mala neekko yeedadis; mootizaytika hen ne sinththan ba mooto shishshana mala isttas yoottadis.”
And as I was informed that a plot was about to be laid against the man by the Jews, I immediately sent him to you, and commanded his accusers to say in your presence what they had against him. Farewell.
31 Hessa gish olla asati ba azazetida mala Phawulossa qammara ehaaththaidi Anttiphaxxirosse getetizaso gaththida.
Then the soldiers took Paul, as they were commanded, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 Wonttetha gallas toga asay Phawulossara baana mala oththidi istti qass guye soo simmida.
And, on the morrow, they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the fortress.
33 Toga asay gede Qisariya gakkidi dabbidabeza dere harizayssas immidi Phawulossa iza sinthth shishshida.
When they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, they presented Paul also before him.
34 Deere harizayssi dabbidabeza nababidine Phawulossa “ne awa dereppe yadi?” gi oychchides; Izi Kilqqiya dere asi gididayssa erridi;
And when he had read the letter, he inquired to what province he belonged. And learning that he was from Cilicia,
35 “Nena mootizayti yishin ta ne yoza siyana” gides; Herodossa gibbe (Foot note) gaththan izi nagistana mala azazides.
he said: I will hear you when your accusers also have come. And he ordered him to be kept under guard in Herod’s palace.
