Kitetidayta Ootho 24
1 Ichchachchu gaallassape guye qeessista hallqa hananiyay issi issi ciimatarane xerixxulossa geetettiza xabaqara qisariya bides; Isttikka dere ayssiza Filkkiseko shiiqidi Phawulossa mootida.
Five days later, Ananias the high priest came down to Caesarea with some of the elders, and with an orator, named Tertullus. They laid information before the governor against Paul.
2 Phawulossay xeeygetti shiiqin Xerixxulossay iza hizzgi mootides “boncho Filkkise! nu ne baggara daroo sarooteth demmidos; ne loo7o aysonkka nu deres loo7etethth beettides.
So Paul was sent for, and then Tertullus began to accuse him, saying. "As it is owing to your excellency that we enjoy profound peace, and that the state of this nation,
3 Hessa ne loo7o oosoza nu awankka gidin aydekka gidin dhoqqu gida bonchorane galatara ekkoos.
"owing to your wise care, has been improved in every respect and in every place, we accept it with profound thankfulness.
4 Ta ha7i nena gam7isontanne nena daburissontta qanththara nees yootizayssa keyateththan ne nu giza siyana mala wossos.
"But not to weary you too much, I beg of your Excellency to listen to a few words from us.
5 Hayssi addezi nus iita hariige gididees; alamen diza Ayhudata wursio bolla meto medhdhes, nazirawe geettetiza wordo asata wanna kaallethizadey izakko.
"For we have found this fellow a pest, an inciter of insurrection among all the Jews of the empire, and a ringleader in the heresy of the Nazarenes.
6 Izi xoossa keeth tuunissana gishin nu iza oykkidos; nu woga mala nu iza bolla firdana qohaaththaidos.
"He even tried to profane the Temple, but we arrested him.
7 Gido attin olla asa halaqata azazizayssi Lusiyossay gakkidi nu kushshepe iza wollqqara woththi ekkides.
"Then the chief captain, Lysias came and violently took him from us.
8 Iza mootiza asaykka neekko yana mala azazides. Hayssi nu iza bolla shishshida mootozi wuri tummu gididayssa ne ne baggara iza oyychcha erranas dandda7asa.”
From him you will be able, by examining Paul yourself, to learn the truth of all these charges we are bringing against him."
9 Hinkko Ayhuda asatikka “ee hayssi yoozi wurkka tummukko” giidi ammanettida.
The Jews also joined in the charge, maintaining that these were the facts.
10 Deere ayssiza filkkisey Phawulossay hasa7ana mala ba kushera malatti beesides; Phawulossaykka hizzgides “Ne daroo wodessoppe hayssa dereza ayssizade gididayssa ta erriza gish ta bolla shiiqida mootozas ta nes uhaaththaayssan malthe shishshayss.
Then at a nod from the governor, Paul spoke. "Because I know that for many years you have been a judge in this nation, I feel encouraged to make my defense.
11 Ta xoossas gooynnanas Yerusalame biin hachchi tammane namm7u gaallassape daroonttayssa ne ne baggara errana dandda7asa.
"For you have it in your power to know that it is not more than twelve days ago that I went up to Jerusalem to worship;
12 Xoossa keeththan gidin Ayhudata wossa keeththan woykko kaatama garssan ta oonnarakka palammettishin woykko dere gidoon meto medhdhishin tanna demmibeytenna.
"and that neither in the Temple, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city, did they find me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowd.
13 Ha7i ta bolla istti shishshida mootozas ay markkaka shishshanas dandd7ettena.
"Nor can they prove the charges which they are now bringing against me.
14 Gido attin ta nes qonccisana koyzay istti wordo giza Goda ogera nu aawantta Xoossas gooynayssine Musse wogane nabeta maxxahaaththaan xahaaththaetidayssaka wursia ammanayss.
"But this I confess to you, that I worship the God of our ancestors, according to the Way which they call a heresy, believing everything that is according to the Law, or is written in the Prophets,
15 Isttikka uhaaththaayssi ooththiza mala takka nagaranchatine xiilloti hayqqope denddanayssa Xoossan ammanetays.
"and having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there is to be a resurrection both of the just and the unjust.
16 Hessa gish Xoossa sinththanine asa sinththan sidhdhey bayndda hanoy tas daana mala wursio wode minnays.
"Hence I too endeavor to have a conscience void of offense toward God and men alway.
17 Ta Yerussalamepe kezin tas daroo layth gididappe guye ta dere asas maado mishshene Xoossas immetiza mishshe ekka yadis.
"Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and to offer sacrifices.
18 Tana istti xoossa keeththan demmiday ta hessa gaththishinkko; He wode ta geeyza woga pollishin tanara daroo asine deenna, oshshine shiroykka deenna.
"While I was thus engaged, they found me in the temple, purified, with no crowd and no uproar. But there were certain Asiatic Jews
19 Gido attin Isyyape yida issi issi Ayhuda asati dettes; isttaskka tana mootos gaaththizaz diza gidikko ne sinththan tana mooteto.
"who ought to have been here before you, and to have made accusations if they had anything against me.
20 Hessafe guye ta duulata sinthth shiiqikko ta ooththida qohooy diikko he asati yooteto.
"Or let these men themselves say what fault they found, when I appeared before the Sanhedrin!
21 Tana hayssas gaaththida gasooy ta istta gidoon eqqada (hayqqidaytas denththi dees ga yootida gish hachchi pirdas inte sinthth shiiqadis) ta gaada qaala dhoqu histta yootadis attin hara ta oththida miishshi deena.”
"Unless it was for this one sentence which I uttered when I stood and cried, ‘It is for the resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial today before you.’"
22 Filkisey Goda oge loo7ethi erriza gish “ola asata halaqata azazizayssa Lusyyossay yiza wode ta inte yooza gish qachcho gidiza yoo immana” giidi istta yeeddides.
At this point Felix, who had a pretty accurate knowledge of the Way, adjourned the case, saying to the Jews, "When Lysias the tribune comes down, I will go carefully into the matter."
23 Phawulossa naggiza xeetu olla asa hallaqay “iza daroo wayisontta loo7etha nagga; iza laggeeti izas koshshiza miishshi ekki yiikko diggofa” gides.
And he gave orders to the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, but treated with indulgence, and that his personal friends were not to be forbidden to minister to him.
24 Guuththa wodepe kaallidi Ayhuda ass gidida ba machchiyo Dirusilara yides; phawulossaka xeeyigidi Yesuss Kiristossan ammano gish izi yootishin siyides.
Some days later Felix came, with his wife Drusilla, a Jewess; he sent for Paul, and listened to him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
25 Phawulossay xiillotetha gishine asi berkka bena haaro gishene burope yaana pirda gish yootin Filikisey babbidi “Ha7i ne ba; hara wode tas gigishin ta nena xeeyga ekkana” gides.
And as he reasoned about morality, self-control, and the future judgment, Felix was terrified, and said, "For the present go on your way, and when I find a convenient season, I will send for you."
26 Filikisey Phawulossape gubbo ekkanas uhaaththaayssi ooththi naggida gish daroo wode gakkanaas xeeyigi xeeyigi hasa7isides.
He was hoping that Paul would give him money, and for this reason he used to send for him often to converse with him.
27 Namm7u laythafe guye Phorqiyosa Fisxxosay Filikise ollan shuumetides; Filikisey Ayhudista uhaaththaayssanas koyidi Phawulossa qachchosoon aggagides.
But after two full years Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and because he wished to curry favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul still in prison.
