Kitetidayta Ootho 23
1 Phawulossay duulata asa tiishi histti xeellidi “ta ishato hach gakkanaas ta Xoossa sinththan loo7o qohaaththaara dayss” gides.
And Paul, looking steadfastly, at the High-council, said—Brethren! I, in all good conscience have used my citizenship for God until this day.
2 Qeessista hallaqa hananiyay qasse Phawulossa duunan shoccana mala iza achchan eqqidayta azazides.
And, the High-priest, Ananias, ordered them that stood by him, to be smiting 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, unto him, said—God is about to be smiting thee, thou whited wall! Dost, thou, then sit to judge me according to the law, and, unlawfully, orderest me to be smitten?
4 He wode hen diza asay Phawulossa “Xoossa qeessista hallaqa cayazii?” gidees.
And, they who stood by, said—The High-priest of God, dost thou revile?
5 Phawulossaykka isttas “ta ishato! izi qeessista hallaqa gididayssa errabeykke; Gasooykka (he dere hallaqa bolla iitta qaala gooppa) gizayssi xaafetides” gides.
And Paul said—I was not aware, brethren, that he was high-priest; because it is written—Of a ruler of thy people, shalt thou not speak injuriously.
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 Paul, getting to know that, the one part, were Sadducees and, the other, Pharisees, began to cry aloud in the council—Brethren! I, am, a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: —Concerning a hope, even of a rising again of the dead, am I to be judged.
7 Phawulossay hessa yootida mala Parisawista gidoonine Saduqqawista gidoon oshshi denddin duulatay nam77u shaaketi wodhdhides.
And, as this he was saying, there arose a dissension of the Pharisees and Sadducees; and rent asunder was the throng.
8 Gasooykka Saduqqaweti hayqqidaytas denththi deena, kitanchaykka bawa, ayanaykka dena gizayta, parisaweti qasse heyiti wurkka dettes gi ammanizayita.
For, Sadducees, say, there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, whereas, Pharisees, confess them 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.
And there arose a great outcry, and certain of the Scribes of the party of the Pharisees, standing up, began to strive, saying—Nothing bad, find we in this man; —but, if a spirit hath spoken unto him, or a messenger…
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, great dissension arising, the captain, fearing lest Paul would be torn in pieces by them, ordered the troop to go down, and take him by force out of their midst, to bring him into the castle.
11 Wonttetha gaalas giiddi giiddoth Goday Phawulossa achchan eqqidi “aykkoy ba ne Yerusalamen tas markkatidayssatho Romenkka ne tas markkatanas beses” gides.
But, on the following night, the Lord, standing over him, said—Be of good courage! for, as thou hast fully borne witness of the things concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou, in Rome also, bear witness.
12 Gadety wonttin ayhuda asati shiqettidi “nu phawulossa wodhdhontta dishe kathth mokko, haththekka uyookko” gi caaqettida.
And, when it became day, the Jews, forming a conspiracy, bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had slain Paul.
13 Hessa he maqqozan isfe gidida asa qooday oyddu taamafe bollara dees.
And they were, more than forty, who, this sworn-confederacy, had formed.
14 Isttikka qeessista hallaqatakonne dere ciimatakko biidi isttas hizzgida “nu Phawulossa wodhdhontta dishe kathth montta mala minththi caaqqidos.
And they went unto the High-priests and Elders, and said—With a curse have we bound ourselves, to taste, nothing, until we have slain 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, ye, with the High-council, make it appear unto the captain, that he should bring him down unto you, as though about to ascertain more exactly the things that concern him; and, we, or ever he come near, 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 Paul’s sister’s son hearing of the lying-in-wait, happening to be near, and coming into the castle, —reported it unto Paul.
17 Phawulossaykka xeistata hallaqatape issa bekko xeeyigidi “hayssi nazi olla asa azazizayssas yootiza yoy diza gish gede izakko ehaaththaa gides.
And Paul, calling unto him one of the centurions, said—This young man, lead thou away unto the captain, for he hath somewhat to report unto 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.
He, therefore, taking him with him, brought him unto the captain, and saith—The prisoner Paul, calling me unto him, requested me to bring this young man unto thee, as having somewhat to tell thee.
19 Azazizayssikka naaza kushshe oykki ekkidi haraso pooqidi “Ne tas yootanaysi azze?) giidi iza dumma oychchides.
And the captain, taking him by the hand, and going aside, began, privately, to ask—What is it which thou hast to report unto me?
20 Nazikka “ayhuda asati Phawulossa yooza loeththi maramarizade milatissidi wontto ne iza isttas shishshana mala oychchanas qachchi woththida.
And he said—The Jews, have agreed to request thee, that, to-morrow, thou wouldst bring, Paul, down into the High-council, as though about to ascertain something, more exact, 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.
Thou, therefore, do not be persuaded by them, for there are lying in wait for him, from among them, more than forty men, —who, indeed, have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor drink, till they have killed him; and, now, are they ready, awaiting the promise, from thee.
22 Azazizayssikka “ne hayssa tas yootidayssa hara oonnakka errissofa” giidi naaza mooyzzides.
the captain, therefore, dismissed the young man, charging him—Unto no one, divulge thou, that, these things, thou hast shewed unto 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 calling certain two of the centurions he said—Make ye ready two hundred soldiers, that they may journey as far as Caesarea, —and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, by the third hour of the night;
24 Phawulossaskka paara gigissidi dere hariza filkkissekko loo7o gakkana mala oththite gides.
beasts also provide, in order that, seating Paul thereon, they may bring him safely through unto Felix the governor.
25 Dabbidabe hizgi xaafides;
And he wrote a letter, after this form: —
26 “Deere harzza boncho Filkkisas, Qalawudossa Lusyyossappe; saarotethi nees gido.
Claudius Lysias, unto the most excellent governor Felix, Joy!
27 Hayssa addeza Ayhuda asati oykki wodhdhana gishin izi Rome assi gididayssa ta gakka errida gish olla asatara gakkada ashshadis.
This man, having been apprehended by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I went down with the troop, and rescued; having learned that he was, a Roman.
28 Istti iza aazas motizakonne ta errana koyada dere duulatakko shishshadis.
And, being minded to find out the cause for which they were accusing him, [I took him down into their High-council],
29 Istti iza bolla shishshida mootoy ba woga gish gididayssa erradis; Gido attin iza hayqqoss woykko qachcchos gaththiza miishshi denna.
whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law, but, of nothing worthy of death or bonds, to be charged.
30 Hayssa addeza wodhdhanas asay maqetidayssa ta siyada herakka siyida mala neekko yeedadis; mootizaytika hen ne sinththan ba mooto shishshana mala isttas yoottadis.”
But, when I was informed there would be a plot against the man, forthwith, I sent him unto thee, charging, his accusers also, to be speaking against him before thee.
31 Hessa gish olla asati ba azazetida mala Phawulossa qammara ehaaththaidi Anttiphaxxirosse getetizaso gaththida.
So the soldiers, according to their orders, taking up Paul, brought him by night unto Antipatris;
32 Wonttetha gallas toga asay Phawulossara baana mala oththidi istti qass guye soo simmida.
and, on the morrow, leaving the horsemen to go on with him, returned to the castle, —
33 Toga asay gede Qisariya gakkidi dabbidabeza dere harizayssas immidi Phawulossa iza sinthth shishshida.
and the others, entering into Caesarea, and delivering the letter unto the governor, set, 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 it, and asked out of what province he was, and learned that he was from Cilicia,
35 “Nena mootizayti yishin ta ne yoza siyana” gides; Herodossa gibbe (Foot note) gaththan izi nagistana mala azazides.
I myself will hear thee in full, said he, whensoever, thine accusers also, are come; and gave orders that, in the palace of Herod, he should be kept under guard.
