Kitetidayta Ootho 25
1 Fisxxossay ba ayssiza dere Qissariya gellidi hedzdzu gallas aqqetidi heppe Yerusalame bides.
Festus, therefore, having come upon the province, after three days, went up unto Jerusalem from Caesarea;
2 Hen diza qeessata hallaqatine issi issi Ayhudista garssafe gita gita asati Phawulossa bolla ba mooto shishshida; “Phawulossa ha Yerusalame ehidi nus loo7o ooso oththarkki” giidi wossida; istti hessa giday Phawulossa naagidi oge bolla wodhdhanas kooyda gishaskko.
and the High-priest and chiefs of the Jews laid information before him against Paul, and began to beseech him
asking for themselves as a favour against him, that he would send for him unto Jerusalem, —making, an ambush, to kill him on the way.
4 Gido attin Fisxxossay “Phawulossay Qissariyan qachcho keeththan naggetes; takka ha7i elle simmada he izakko baana.
Festus, therefore, answered, that Paul should be kept in Caesarea, and that, he himself, was about, shortly, to be going out [thither].
5 Inte garssafe dannateth dizaytti tanara Qissariya beeto; Phawulossay oththida qohoy diza gidikko hen mooteto” gides.
They, therefore, among you (saith he) who are in power, let them go down with me; and, if there is in the man, anything amiss, let them accuse him.
6 Fisxxossay osppun woykko tammu gaallassafe daroontta wode isttara gamm7idi guye Qissariya bides; He gakkida mala wonttetha gallas pirda wombbora bolla uttidi Phawulossa izakko shishshana mala azazides.
And, spending among them, not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and, on the morrow, taking his place upon the judgment-seat, ordered Paul to be brought.
7 Phawulossay iza sinthth shiiqin Yerussalamepe yida Ayhudati Phawulossa giddothidi markkay bayndda daroo deexxo mooto iza bolla shishshida.
And, when he presented himself, the Jews who, from Jerusalem, had come down, stood round about him, many and grievous charges, bringing against [him], which they were not able to prove, —
8 Phawulossaykka “Tani Ayhuda woga bolla gidin Xoossa keeththa bolla woykko Rome kawoo Qessare bollaka gaaththida qoohoy deena” giidi istta mootoza shaariza mallththe isttas immides.
Paul saying in defence—Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I in anything sinned.
9 Gido attin Fisxxossay Ayhudata uhaaththaayssanas koyidi Phawulossa “Ne Yerusalame baada hayssa yooza hen ta sinththan pirdistana koyazii?” gides.
But, Festus, wishing, with the Jews, to gain, favour, answered Paul, and said—Art thou willing, unto Jerusalem, to go up, and, there, concerning these things, be judged before me?
10 Phawulossay qasse hizzgidi izas zaarides “Hekko ta pirdistanas tas bessiza Qessare pirda wombbara sinththan eqqadis; nekka loo7etha erriza mala ta Ayhudata bolla ooththida aykko qoohoy deena.
But Paul said—Standing before the judgment-seat of Caesar, am I, where, I, ought to be judged. Unto the Jews, have I done no wrong, as, even thou, right well, art discovering.
11 Ta qoohida gidikko woykko tana hayqqos gaaththiza qooho ta ooththida gidikko ta hayqoppe attana giike; Gido attin istti shishshiza mootoy mela hada gidiko oonikka tana isttas aththi immanas dandda7ena; Takka ta yooy Qeessare sinthth shiiqana mala yigibaayne gadis.”
If then, on the one hand, I am doing wrong, and, anything worthy of death, have committed, I excuse not myself from dying; but, on the other hand, if there is, nothing, in the things whereof these are accusing me, no man, hath power to give, me, unto them as a favour: —Unto Caesar, I appeal!
12 Hessa wode Fisxxossay bena zoorizayitara hasa7etidi “ne Qeessareko yigibaayne giza gidiko Qeessareko baanddassa” gides.
Then Festus, having conversed with the council, answered—Unto Caesar, hast thou appealed? Unto Caesar, shalt thou go.
13 Guuththa gaallassatape guye kawoo Agirphphayne Barniqey Fisxxossa “Hashshu loo7on yadassa” gi mokkanas gede Qissariya bida.
And, some days having gone by, Agrippa the king and Bernice came down to Caesarea, to salute Festus.
14 Istti hen daroo galas uttida gish Fisxxossay Phawulossa yooza kawoo Agirphphas hizzgi yootides “Filkisey qaachcho kethan yegi agiida issadey haan dees.
And, as they were spending more days there, Festus, repeated, unto the king, the things relating to Paul, saying—A certain man, hath been left behind by Felix, as a prisoner;
15 Ta Yerusalamen bida wode qeessista hallaqatinne Ayhudata ciimmati ha addeza yoo taako ehidi ta iza bolla pirdana mala oychchida.
concerning whom, when I happened to be in Jerusalem, the High-priests and the Elders of the Jews laid information, claiming against him a condemnation:
16 Ta qasse mootetidadey mootizayta sinththan eqqidi bena mootiza yoozas beessiza malththe immontta dishin mootetidade aththi immooy Rome kawootethas woga gidena” gaada zaaradis.
unto whom made answer—That it is not a custom with Romans, to grant as a favour any man, before the accused, face to face, should have his accusers, and, opportunity of defence, should receive, concerning the charge.
17 Hessa gish iza mootizayti shiiqetidi yida mala herakka wonttetha gallas pirda wombboran uttada Phawulossa ta sinthth shishshana mala azazadis.
When, therefore, they had come together here, no delay whatever, making, on the next day, taking my place upon the judgment-seat, I ordered the man to be brought:
18 Iza mootizayti iza achchan eqqida wode istti iza bolla shishshida mootoy ta baggara izi iitta oothontta agena gaada qopida mala gidibeyna.
Concerning whom, taking their stand, his accusers, no accusation at all, were bringing, of the evil things which, I, had been suspecting;
19 Gido attin istti izara mootetizay ba ammano gishshine Phawulossay issi hayqqidade (Paxa dees) giza Yesussa gish gidides.
but, certain questions concerning their own demon-worship, had they against him, and concerning one Jesus, who had died, whom Paul was affirming to be alive.
20 Takka hessa mala yoo qora xeellanas tana metida gish Phawulossa (Ne Yerusalame baada heyssa yooza hen pirdistana koyyaz?) gadis.
And, I, being at a loss as to the inquiry into these things, was asking—whether he might be minded to go unto Jerusalem, and, there, be judged concerning these things.
21 Hizzgin izi qasse yoozi Rome kawoo sinththan beyistana mala koyidi (ta yooy Qeessare sinthth shiiqana mala oychchayss) gida gish iza yoo Qeessarekko ta yeeddana gakkanaas izi qachcho keeththan gamm77ana mala azazadis.”
But, Paul, having appealed to be kept for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered him to be kept, until I could send him up unto Caesar.
22 Agirphphay Fisxxossa “Takka izi giza siyana koyayss” gides; Fisxxossaykka “Wontto siyanddassa” gides.
And, Agrippa, [said] unto Festus—I could wish, myself also, to hear, the man. To-morrow, (saith he) thou shalt hear him.
23 Hessa gish wonttetha gallas Agirphphayne Barniqey kawooti mayiza mayo maydine daro bonchora ola asa halaqatarane he kaataman diza giita asatan azhabbeti yiidi pirda keeth gellida. Hessafe guye Fisxxossay Phawulossa xeeyigisides.
On the morrow, therefore, when Agrippa had come, and Bernice, with great display, and they had entered into the audience-chamber, with the captains of thousands and men of distinction of the city, —and Festus had given orders, Paul was brought.
24 Fisxosay hizzgides “Kawoo Agirphpha! qass nunara diza asato; Ayhuda asati wuri (hayssi addezi hayssafe guye paxxa daana beessena) giidi wassishe Yerussalamenkka haanikka iza bolla pirdistana mala istti tana oychchizay hayssa inte beeyiza addeza gishshaskko.
And Festus saith—King Agrippa! and all ye men, here present with us: Ye observe this person, concerning whom, one and all the throng of the Jews, have interceded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying aloud that he ought not to be living any longer.
25 Ta ta boggara iza hayqqos gaaththiza issi balakka iza bolla demmabeyikke. Izi ta yooy Rome kawoo sinthth shiiqi beeyeto gida gish ta iza he yeeddanas qachchadis.
But, I, gathered, that, nothing worthy of death, had he committed; and, this man himself, having appealed unto the Emperor, I decided to send him: —
26 Gido attin iza gish ta ta godas xaahaaththaana giza errettida yoy deena; Hessa gish iza issi issi pacce oychchota oychchiko tas xaahaaththaanaysi daanakkone gaada inteko; harapekka kawoo Agirphpha neekko shishshadis.
Concerning whom, anything certain to write unto my lord, I have not; wherefore, I have brought him forth before you, —and especially before thee, King Agrippa! in order that, after examination had, I might have something I could write;
27 Gasooykka qachcho assi puude bollattiza dhoqqa dannakko bishin izi mootetiza yo qonccisontta aggoy asa eyya kessizayssi tas bettides.”
For, unreasonable, unto me, it seemeth, when sending a prisoner, not also, the accusations against him, to signify.
