Kitetidayta Ootho 23
1 Phawulossay duulata asa tiishi histti xeellidi “ta ishato hach gakkanaas ta Xoossa sinththan loo7o qohaaththaara dayss” gides.
Then Paul, fixing a steady gaze on the Sanhedrin, said, "Brethren, it is with a perfectly clear conscience that I have discharged my duties before God up to this day."
2 Qeessista hallaqa hananiyay qasse Phawulossa duunan shoccana mala iza achchan eqqidayta azazides.
On hearing this the High Priest Ananias ordered those who were standing near Paul to strike 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.
"Before long," exclaimed Paul, "God will strike you, you white-washed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me in accordance with the Law, and do you yourself actually break the Law by ordering me to be struck?"
4 He wode hen diza asay Phawulossa “Xoossa qeessista hallaqa cayazii?” gidees.
"Do you rail at God's High Priest?" cried the men who stood by him.
5 Phawulossaykka isttas “ta ishato! izi qeessista hallaqa gididayssa errabeykke; Gasooykka (he dere hallaqa bolla iitta qaala gooppa) gizayssi xaafetides” gides.
"I did not know, brethren," replied Paul, "that he was the High Priest; for it is written, 'Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of Thy 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.
Noticing, however, that the Sanhedrin consisted partly of Sadducees and partly of Pharisees, he called out loudly among them, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees. It is because of my hope of a resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial."
7 Phawulossay hessa yootida mala Parisawista gidoonine Saduqqawista gidoon oshshi denddin duulatay nam77u shaaketi wodhdhides.
These words of his caused an angry dispute between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly took different sides.
8 Gasooykka Saduqqaweti hayqqidaytas denththi deena, kitanchaykka bawa, ayanaykka dena gizayta, parisaweti qasse heyiti wurkka dettes gi ammanizayita.
For the Sadducees maintain that there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge the existence of 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.
So there arose a great uproar; and some of the Scribes belonging to the sect of the Pharisees sprang to their feet and fiercely contended, saying, "We find no harm in the man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel----!"
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.
But when the struggle was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by the people, ordered the troops to go down and take him from among them by force 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.
The following night the Lord came and stood at Paul's side, and said, "Be of good courage, for as you have borne faithful witness about me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome."
12 Gadety wonttin ayhuda asati shiqettidi “nu phawulossa wodhdhontta dishe kathth mokko, haththekka uyookko” gi caaqettida.
Now, when daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and solemnly swore not to eat or drink till they had killed Paul.
13 Hessa he maqqozan isfe gidida asa qooday oyddu taamafe bollara dees.
There were more than forty of them who bound themselves by this oath.
14 Isttikka qeessista hallaqatakonne dere ciimatakko biidi isttas hizzgida “nu Phawulossa wodhdhontta dishe kathth montta mala minththi caaqqidos.
They went to the High Priests and Elders and said to them, "We have bound ourselves under a heavy curse to take no food 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 you and the Sanhedrin should make representations to the Tribune for him to bring him down to you, under the impression that you intend to inquire more minutely about him; and we are prepared to assassinate him before he comes near the place."
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 heard of the intended attack upon him. So he came and went into the barracks and told Paul about it;
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 Captains and said, "Take this young man to the Tribune, for he has information to give 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 Tribune, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me to him and begged me to bring this youth to you, because he has something to say to you."
19 Azazizayssikka naaza kushshe oykki ekkidi haraso pooqidi “Ne tas yootanaysi azze?) giidi iza dumma oychchides.
Then the Tribune, taking him by the arm, withdrew out of the hearing of others and asked him, "What have you to tell me?"
20 Nazikka “ayhuda asati Phawulossa yooza loeththi maramarizade milatissidi wontto ne iza isttas shishshana mala oychchanas qachchi woththida.
"The Jews," he replied, "have agreed to request you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin to-morrow for the purpose of making yourself more accurately acquainted with the case.
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.
I beg you not to comply; for more than forty men among them are lying in wait for him, who have solemnly vowed that they will neither eat nor drink till they have assassinated him; and even now they are ready, in anticipation of receiving that promise of you."
22 Azazizayssikka “ne hayssa tas yootidayssa hara oonnakka errissofa” giidi naaza mooyzzides.
So the Tribune sent the youth home, cautioning him. "Do not let any one know that you have given me this information," he said.
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.
Then, calling to him two of the Captains, he gave his orders. "Get ready two hundred men," he said, "to march to Caesarea, with seventy cavalry and two hundred light infantry, starting at nine o'clock to-night."
24 Phawulossaskka paara gigissidi dere hariza filkkissekko loo7o gakkana mala oththite gides.
He further told them to provide horses to mount Paul on, so as to bring him safely to Felix the Governor.
25 Dabbidabe hizgi xaafides;
He also wrote a letter of which these were the contents:
26 “Deere harzza boncho Filkkisas, Qalawudossa Lusyyossappe; saarotethi nees gido.
"Claudius Lysias to his Excellency, Felix the Governor: all good wishes.
27 Hayssa addeza Ayhuda asati oykki wodhdhana gishin izi Rome assi gididayssa ta gakka errida gish olla asatara gakkada ashshadis.
This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and they were on the point of killing him, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, for I had been informed that he was a Roman citizen.
28 Istti iza aazas motizakonne ta errana koyada dere duulatakko shishshadis.
And, wishing to know with certainty the offense of which they were accusing him, I brought him down into their Sanhedrin,
29 Istti iza bolla shishshida mootoy ba woga gish gididayssa erradis; Gido attin iza hayqqoss woykko qachcchos gaththiza miishshi denna.
and I discovered that the charge had to do with questions of their Law, but that he was accused of nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment.
30 Hayssa addeza wodhdhanas asay maqetidayssa ta siyada herakka siyida mala neekko yeedadis; mootizaytika hen ne sinththan ba mooto shishshana mala isttas yoottadis.”
But now that I have received information of an intended attack upon him, I immediately send him to you, directing his accusers also to state before you the case they have against him."
31 Hessa gish olla asati ba azazetida mala Phawulossa qammara ehaaththaidi Anttiphaxxirosse getetizaso gaththida.
So, in obedience to their orders, the soldiers took Paul and brought him by night as far as Antipatris.
32 Wonttetha gallas toga asay Phawulossara baana mala oththidi istti qass guye soo simmida.
The next day the infantry returned to the barracks, leaving the cavalry to proceed with him;
33 Toga asay gede Qisariya gakkidi dabbidabeza dere harizayssas immidi Phawulossa iza sinthth shishshida.
and, the cavalry having reached Caesarea and delivered the letter to the Governor, they brought Paul also to him.
34 Deere harizayssi dabbidabeza nababidine Phawulossa “ne awa dereppe yadi?” gi oychchides; Izi Kilqqiya dere asi gididayssa erridi;
Felix, after reading the letter, inquired from what province he was; and being told "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 all you have to say, when your accusers also have come." And he ordered him to be detained in custody in Herod's Palace.
