Kitetidayta Ootho 23
1 Phawulossay duulata asa tiishi histti xeellidi “ta ishato hach gakkanaas ta Xoossa sinththan loo7o qohaaththaara dayss” gides.
Then Paul, looking intently at the council, said, “Men, brothers, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.”
2 Qeessista hallaqa hananiyay qasse Phawulossa duunan shoccana mala iza achchan eqqidayta azazides.
So the high priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike his 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 strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you command me to be struck contrary to the law!”
4 He wode hen diza asay Phawulossa “Xoossa qeessista hallaqa cayazii?” gidees.
So those standing by said, “Do you reproach God's high priest?”
5 Phawulossaykka isttas “ta ishato! izi qeessista hallaqa gididayssa errabeykke; Gasooykka (he dere hallaqa bolla iitta qaala gooppa) gizayssi xaafetides” gides.
Then Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he is high priest; for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil of a 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.
Now when Paul perceived that one part were Pharisees and the other Sadducees, he called out in the council, “Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of a Pharisee; I am being judged concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead!”
7 Phawulossay hessa yootida mala Parisawista gidoonine Saduqqawista gidoon oshshi denddin duulatay nam77u shaaketi wodhdhides.
When he had said this, an argument started between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
8 Gasooykka Saduqqaweti hayqqidaytas denththi deena, kitanchaykka bawa, ayanaykka dena gizayta, parisaweti qasse heyiti wurkka dettes gi ammanizayita.
(Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel or spirit, but Pharisees confess both.)
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.
There was a great clamor, and the scribes of the Pharisee party stood up and started arguing vigorously, saying, “We find nothing wrong with this man; but if a spirit or 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.
Well the dissension became such that the commander, fearing that Paul might be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and snatch him out of their midst and bring him into the barracks.
11 Wonttetha gaalas giiddi giiddoth Goday Phawulossa achchan eqqidi “aykkoy ba ne Yerusalamen tas markkatidayssatho Romenkka ne tas markkatanas beses” gides.
Now the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, Paul, because as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”
12 Gadety wonttin ayhuda asati shiqettidi “nu phawulossa wodhdhontta dishe kathth mokko, haththekka uyookko” gi caaqettida.
And when it was day, some of the Jews formed a conspiracy by binding themselves with a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they had destroyed Paul.
13 Hessa he maqqozan isfe gidida asa qooday oyddu taamafe bollara dees.
Now there were more than forty who formed this plot.
14 Isttikka qeessista hallaqatakonne dere ciimatakko biidi isttas hizzgida “nu Phawulossa wodhdhontta dishe kathth montta mala minththi caaqqidos.
They came to the chief priests and the elders and said: “We have bound ourselves with a terrible curse not to taste anything until 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 you, therefore, together with the council, explain to the commander that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you are going to determine more accurately the facts in his case; but we are ready to destroy him before he comes near.”
16 Gido attin issi Phawulossas michchi nay hessa istta maqqoza siyida gish wotadarati dizaso bi geellidi yooza Phawulossas yootides.
But when Paul's sister's son heard about the ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.
17 Phawulossaykka xeistata hallaqatape issa bekko xeeyigidi “hayssi nazi olla asa azazizayssas yootiza yoy diza gish gede izakko ehaaththaa gides.
So Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander, because 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 brought him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner called me over and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”
19 Azazizayssikka naaza kushshe oykki ekkidi haraso pooqidi “Ne tas yootanaysi azze?) giidi iza dumma oychchides.
So taking him by the hand, the commander went aside and asked privately, “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.
So he said: “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow as though intending to inquire somewhat 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.
But you should not believe them, because more than forty of their men are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves with a curse neither to eat not to drink until they have destroyed him; even now they are ready, looking for your promise.”
22 Azazizayssikka “ne hayssa tas yootidayssa hara oonnakka errissofa” giidi naaza mooyzzides.
Then the commander dismissed the young man commanding, “Don't tell anyone that you have revealed these things 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.
Summoning two of the centurions he said: “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night;
24 Phawulossaskka paara gigissidi dere hariza filkkissekko loo7o gakkana mala oththite gides.
and provide mounts to set Paul on so as to deliver him safely to Felix, the governor.”
25 Dabbidabe hizgi xaafides;
He wrote a letter with this content:
26 “Deere harzza boncho Filkkisas, Qalawudossa Lusyyossappe; saarotethi nees gido.
“Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
27 Hayssa addeza Ayhuda asati oykki wodhdhana gishin izi Rome assi gididayssa ta gakka errida gish olla asatara gakkada ashshadis.
This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them; but I came with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman.
28 Istti iza aazas motizakonne ta errana koyada dere duulatakko shishshadis.
And wanting to know the reason they were accusing him, I took him down to their council.
29 Istti iza bolla shishshida mootoy ba woga gish gididayssa erradis; Gido attin iza hayqqoss woykko qachcchos gaththiza miishshi denna.
I found that he was being accused about questions of their law, but there was no accusation worthy of death or bonds.
30 Hayssa addeza wodhdhanas asay maqetidayssa ta siyada herakka siyida mala neekko yeedadis; mootizaytika hen ne sinththan ba mooto shishshana mala isttas yoottadis.”
When I was told that the Jews were about to execute a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, also directing his accusers to state the charges against him before you. Farewell.”
31 Hessa gish olla asati ba azazetida mala Phawulossa qammara ehaaththaidi Anttiphaxxirosse getetizaso gaththida.
So the soldiers, according to their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 Wonttetha gallas toga asay Phawulossara baana mala oththidi istti qass guye soo simmida.
The next day they left the horsemen to go on with him and returned to the barracks.
33 Toga asay gede Qisariya gakkidi dabbidabeza dere harizayssas immidi Phawulossa iza sinthth shishshida.
When they entered Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
34 Deere harizayssi dabbidabeza nababidine Phawulossa “ne awa dereppe yadi?” gi oychchides; Izi Kilqqiya dere asi gididayssa erridi;
When the governor read it, he asked what province he was from; learning that it was Cilicia,
35 “Nena mootizayti yishin ta ne yoza siyana” gides; Herodossa gibbe (Foot note) gaththan izi nagistana mala azazides.
he said, “I will give you a hearing when your accusers also arrive.” And he commanded him to be guarded in Herod's Praetorium.
