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.
And after five days, the high-priest Ananias came down with the elders, and one Tertulius an orator, who appeared 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.
And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "As by thee we enjoy much peace, and glorious things are done to this nation by thy prudent administration,
3 Hessa ne loo7o oosoza nu awankka gidin aydekka gidin dhoqqu gida bonchorane galatara ekkoos.
we acknowledge it upon all occasions and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Ta ha7i nena gam7isontanne nena daburissontta qanththara nees yootizayssa keyateththan ne nu giza siyana mala wossos.
But that I may not trespass upon thee too far, I beg thou wouldst hear us a few words with thy wonted goodness.
5 Hayssi addezi nus iita hariige gididees; alamen diza Ayhudata wursio bolla meto medhdhes, nazirawe geettetiza wordo asata wanna kaallethizadey izakko.
For having found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ring-leader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
6 Izi xoossa keeth tuunissana gishin nu iza oykkidos; nu woga mala nu iza bolla firdana qohaaththaidos.
and attempting to profane the temple, we apprehended him, and would have judged him according to our law.
7 Gido attin olla asa halaqata azazizayssi Lusiyossay gakkidi nu kushshepe iza wollqqara woththi ekkides.
But Lysias the tribune came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, commanding his accusers to come unto thee:
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 whom thou mayst thyself by examining him come to the knowledge of all these things of which we accuse him."
9 Hinkko Ayhuda asatikka “ee hayssi yoozi wurkka tummukko” giidi ammanettida.
And the Jews also assented, saying, that these things were so.
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 Paul, when the governor permitted him to speak, answered in this manner, "As I know that thou hast been many years a judge to this nation, I do the more chearfully answer for myself:
11 Ta xoossas gooynnanas Yerusalame biin hachchi tammane namm7u gaallassape daroonttayssa ne ne baggara errana dandda7asa.
because thou mayst know, that there are not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem:
12 Xoossa keeththan gidin Ayhudata wossa keeththan woykko kaatama garssan ta oonnarakka palammettishin woykko dere gidoon meto medhdhishin tanna demmibeytenna.
and they neither found me disputing with any one in the temple, or making sedition among the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 Ha7i ta bolla istti shishshida mootozas ay markkaka shishshanas dandd7ettena.
nor can they prove the things of which they now accuse 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 unto thee, that after the way, which they call heresy, so do I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law, and the prophets:
15 Isttikka uhaaththaayssi ooththiza mala takka nagaranchatine xiilloti hayqqope denddanayssa Xoossan ammanetays.
having hope in God, (which they themselves also expect) that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 Hessa gish Xoossa sinththanine asa sinththan sidhdhey bayndda hanoy tas daana mala wursio wode minnays.
And on this account do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence both towards God and towards men.
17 Ta Yerussalamepe kezin tas daroo layth gididappe guye ta dere asas maado mishshene Xoossas immetiza mishshe ekka yadis.
Now after several years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
18 Tana istti xoossa keeththan demmiday ta hessa gaththishinkko; He wode ta geeyza woga pollishin tanara daroo asine deenna, oshshine shiroykka deenna.
Upon which some Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude nor with tumult:
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 thee, and make good their charge, if they had any thing against me.
20 Hessafe guye ta duulata sinthth shiiqikko ta ooththida qohooy diikko he asati yooteto.
Or let these themselves say, if they found any crime in me, when I stood before the sanhedrim;
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 for this one expression, that I cried out when I stood among them, For the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day."
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.
And when Felix heard these things he put them off, (for he had been more particularly informed concerning this way of religion, ) and said, When Lysias the tribune comes down, I will thoroughly examine your matters.
23 Phawulossa naggiza xeetu olla asa hallaqay “iza daroo wayisontta loo7etha nagga; iza laggeeti izas koshshiza miishshi ekki yiikko diggofa” gides.
And he commanded the centurion to keep Paul secure, and to let him have some liberty, and to hinder none of his friends from assisting him or coming to him.
24 Guuththa wodepe kaallidi Ayhuda ass gidida ba machchiyo Dirusilara yides; phawulossaka xeeyigidi Yesuss Kiristossan ammano gish izi yootishin siyides.
Some days after Felix coming with his wife Drusilla, a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning faith in Christ.
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 was reasoning of justice, temperance, and a future judgement, Felix trembled, and said, Go thy way for this time, and I will take a proper opportunity to call for thee again.
26 Filikisey Phawulossape gubbo ekkanas uhaaththaayssi ooththi naggida gish daroo wode gakkanaas xeeyigi xeeyigi hasa7isides.
And hoping also that money would be given him by Paul, that he might discharge him; he sent for him the more frequently, and conversed with him.
27 Namm7u laythafe guye Phorqiyosa Fisxxosay Filikise ollan shuumetides; Filikisey Ayhudista uhaaththaayssanas koyidi Phawulossa qachchosoon aggagides.
But after two years Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; and being willing to gain favor with the Jews lest Paul confined.
