Kitetidayta Ootho 26

1 Agirphphay Phawulossa “ne ne gish hasa7anas dandda7assa) gides. Phawulossaykka ba kushe denthidi malththe hizgi immides.

Then Agrippa sayd vnto Paul, Thou art permitted to speake for thy selfe. So Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himselfe.

2 “Kawoo Agirphpha! tana Ayhudati moootiza yoo wursisos hach ta ne sinththan tana maadana malththe immiza gish tana daroo ufayses.

I thinke my selfe happy, King Agrippa, because I shall answere this day before thee of all the things whereof I am accused of the Iewes.

3 Gasoyka ne Ayhudata wogane istta palama wursia looetha errasa; Hessa gish ne ta giza wursia dandda7ada siyana mala ta nena wosays.

Chiefly, because thou hast knowledge of all customes, and questions which are among the Iewes: wherefore I beseech thee, to heare me patiently.

4 “Tani guuththa nateththa wodeppe oykkada waana deydakko Ayhuda asati erretes. Koyrope ha7i gakkanaas ta ta dere asa gidoonine Yerusalamen ta deyda duussu asay erres.

As touching my life from my childhood, and what it was from the beginning among mine owne nation at Hierusalem, know all the Iewes,

5 Qassekka istti markkatana koykko nu ammano gish ta keha minththa woga naggiza Parsawe bagga gidada gamm7idade gididayssa istti koyrope denththidi erretes.

Which knewe me heretofore, euen from my elders (if they would testifie) that after the most straite sect of our religion I liued a Pharise.

6 Ha7i qasse pirdas tana hayssan essiday Xoossi kasse nu aawatas immida caaqqo qaala uhaaththaayssa gishaskko.

And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God vnto our fathers.

7 Ha uhaaththaayssako gakkanaas nu zarkketi taammane namm7ati Xoossa gaallasine qamma goyinnishe naggida. Kawo nees too! takka Ayhudati tana mootizay ha yoza gishaskko.

Whereunto our twelue tribes instantly seruing God day and night, hope to come: for the which hopes sake, O King Agrippa, I am accused of the Iewes.

8 Xoossi hayqqidayta denththanayssi wannidi Ayhuda gidida inte achchan ammanetibeyne?

Why should it be thought a thing incredible vnto you, that God should raise againe the dead?

9 Takka ta baggara Nazirete Yesussa sunththa eqqistanas beses gada qoppadis shin;

I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to doe many contrarie things against the Name of Iesus of Nazareth.

10 Tani Yerusalamen ooththidaykka hessakoshin; Qeessista hallaqqatape ta ekkida godateththara ammanizaytape daroota qasho keeththan yegiissadis; istta wodhdhishin wodhdhizaytara isfe days.

Which thing I also did in Hierusalem: for many of the Saints I shut vp in prison, hauing receiued authoritie of the hie Priests, and when they were put to death, I gaue my sentence.

11 Daro wode Ayhudata wossa keethati dizason awankka istti qaaxxayistana malanne ba ammano kadana mala ooththadis; Istta bolla daro hanqqistadakka Isra7eleppe karen diza hara kaatamatakka baada ammanizayta goodadis.

And I punished them throughout all the Synagogues, and compelled them to blaspheme, and being more mad against them, I persecuted them, euen vnto strange cities.

12 “Hayssa ha yoozas Qeessista hallaqatappe kummetha godateththine azazo ekkada dammasqqo gizaso ta bishin;

At which time, euen as I went to Damascus with authoritie, and commission from the hie Priests,

13 Kawoo nes too! Buroo ta ogen dishin gadey seeta gallas gidishin awa arshe poo7oppe adhdhiza poo7o beyadis; He poo7oy tanane tanara biza asata yuuy adhdhidi salope po7ides.

At midday, O King, I sawe in the way a light from heauen, passing the brightnes of the sunne, shine round about mee, and them which went with me.

14 Nu wurkka biita bolla kundidishin Ayhudata qaalara (Sawulle! Sawulle! tana aazas goddazi? Neni qara maashsha bolla eqqiikko nerkka nena qohasa) giza qaala siyadis.

So when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voyce speaking vnto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kicke against pricks.

15 Takka (Godo! ne oonne?) Gadis; Godaykka (Ta ne Goda Yesussako!

Then I sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And he sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.

16 Ha7i denddada ne toon eqqa; ta nes qoncciday ne tana ha7i beyidaysanine sinththafe ta nena beessanayssan ne tas markkatizade gidana mala ta nena shuumana koyadis.

But rise and stand vp on thy feete: for I haue appeared vnto thee for this purpose, to appoint thee a minister and a witnesse, both of the things which thou hast seene, and of the things in the which I will appeare vnto thee,

17 Isra7ele asa kushepene ta nena isttakko kittiza Ayhuda gidoontta dere asata kusheppekka ashshana.

Deliuering thee from this people, and from the Gentiles, vnto whom now I send thee,

18 Ne istta ayfe doyana malane dhumape poo7on kessana mala qassekka xalla7es harettizasope Xoossakko ne zaarana mala ooththana; isttikka tana ammanida gish ba nagarappe marettana qasse dorettidayta giddon istti laata gade demana) gidees.

To open their eyes, that they may turne from darknes to light, and from the power of Satan vnto God, that they may receiue forgiuenes of sinnes, and inheritance among them, which are sanctified by fayth in me.

19 “Hessa gish kawoo Agirphpha! Salope tas immetida ajjutas ta azazettadis.

Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient vnto the heauenly vision,

20 Gido attin ta kassistada Dammasqqon diza asa kaaliethada Yerussalamenine Yuhuda deren wursion dizayta qassekka Ayhuda gidoontta deretikka nagare ogeppe Xoossakko simmidi maretna mala erisadis. Istti nagarappe simmidayssa beessizayssa ooththana mala ta isttas yootadis.

But shewed first vnto them of Damascus, and at Hierusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Iudea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turne to God, and doe workes worthy amendment of life.

21 Hessa gaason Ayhudati ta Xoossa keeththan dishin tana oykkidi wodhdhana koyda.

For this cause the Iewes caught me in the Temple, and went about to kill me.

22 Hachch gakkanaaskka tas Xoossafe maadoy pacci errena. Hesa gish guuththaskka gitaskka markkatashe hayssan eqqadis. Nabetinne Mussey kassetidi hayssa malay hanana gidayssa yootope attin ta hara aykkokka yootabeykke.

Neuertheles, I obteined helpe of God, and continue vnto this day, witnessing both to small and to great, saying none other things, then those which the Prophets and Moses did say should come,

23 Isttikka yootidaysi (Xoossi kittidadey meto beeyana, hayqqope denddon koyro gididi, asi attana poo7o Isra7ele deresinne Isra7ele nayta gidontta deretas qonccana) gizayssakko.”

To wit, that Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light vnto this people, and to the Gentiles.

24 Phawulossay hessa yootishin Fisxxossay “Phawulossa! ha7i ne gooyyontta aggakka; ne daro taamaridayssi nena goshshides” gi wassides.

And as he thus answered for himselfe, Festus said with a loude voyce, Paul, thou art besides thy selfe: much learning doeth make thee mad.

25 Phawulossay gidikko izas hizzgi zaarides “boncho Fisxxossa! ta nes tuma erada yootayss attin goyabeyke.

But he said, I am not mad, O noble Festus, but I speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.

26 Ta iza sinththan qonccera yootida kawooy hayssa yooza erres; hayssikka qootara ooththetonttayssa gidida gish kawooy erranayssa ta ammanetayss.

For the King knoweth of these things, before whom also I speake boldly: for I am perswaded that none of these things are hidden from him: for this thing was not done in a corner.

27 Kawoo Agirphpha! nabeta ammanasa gidikki? ne ammanizayssa ta errayss.”

O King Agrippa, beleeuest thou the Prophets? I know that thou beleeuest.

28 Agirphphaykka Phawulossa “Hekko ne tana hanno guuththa wode garssan ammanthana koyasa” gides.

Then Agrippa said vnto Paul, Almost thou perswadest me to become a Christian.

29 Phawulossakka izas zaaridi “guuththa woden gidinkka woykko daro woden ne xalla gidontta dishin hach ta yootidayssa siday wuri hanno ta qachcheteththia atta wurikka ta mala gidana mala ta Xoossa wossayss” gides.

Then Paul sayd, I would to God that not onely thou, but also all that heare me to day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

30 Hessafe guye kawooy, dere ayssizaysi, Barnqanne isttara uttida asaykka wuri denddides.

And when he had thus spoken, the King rose vp, and the gouernour, and Bernice, and they that sate with them.

31 Istti hepe kezi bishe ba garssan hays addezi hayqqos woykko qachchos gaththiza mishshe aykokka ooththibeyna” gida.

And when they were gone apart, they talked betweene themselues, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds.

32 Agirphphaykka Fisxxossa “hayssi addezi yooza Qessares shiiqo gonttako aykko woththoy bayndda mela yedistanako shin” gides.

Then sayd Agrippa vnto Festus, This man might haue bene loosed, if hee had not appealed vnto Cesar.
