Kitetidayta Ootho 26
1 Agirphphay Phawulossa “ne ne gish hasa7anas dandda7assa) gides. Phawulossaykka ba kushe denthidi malththe hizgi immides.
And Agrippa said to Paul, It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself. Then Paul reaching forth his hand, proceeded with his defence:
2 “Kawoo Agirphpha! tana Ayhudati moootiza yoo wursisos hach ta ne sinththan tana maadana malththe immiza gish tana daroo ufayses.
O king Agrippa, I consider myself happy, being about this day to make my defence before thee concerning all those things of which I am accused by the Jews:
3 Gasoyka ne Ayhudata wogane istta palama wursia looetha errasa; Hessa gish ne ta giza wursia dandda7ada siyana mala ta nena wosays.
especially as thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions among the Jews: therefore I pray you to hear 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.
Moreover indeed all the Jews know my life from my youth; being from the beginning in my nation and in Jerusalem,
5 Qassekka istti markkatana koykko nu ammano gish ta keha minththa woga naggiza Parsawe bagga gidada gamm7idade gididayssa istti koyrope denththidi erretes.
knowing me originally, if they may be willing to testify, that according to the most rigid sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 Ha7i qasse pirdas tana hayssan essiday Xoossi kasse nu aawatas immida caaqqo qaala uhaaththaayssa gishaskko.
And now for the hope of the promise which is from God to our fathers, I stand being judged:
7 Ha uhaaththaayssako gakkanaas nu zarkketi taammane namm7ati Xoossa gaallasine qamma goyinnishe naggida. Kawo nees too! takka Ayhudati tana mootizay ha yoza gishaskko.
unto which our twelve tribes constantly worshiping night and day, hope to attain: concerning which hope I am accused by the Jews, O king.
8 Xoossi hayqqidayta denththanayssi wannidi Ayhuda gidida inte achchan ammanetibeyne?
Why is it judged by you incredible, if God shall raise the dead?
9 Takka ta baggara Nazirete Yesussa sunththa eqqistanas beses gada qoppadis shin;
Moreover indeed, I thought to myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene:
10 Tani Yerusalamen ooththidaykka hessakoshin; Qeessista hallaqqatape ta ekkida godateththara ammanizaytape daroota qasho keeththan yegiissadis; istta wodhdhishin wodhdhizaytara isfe days.
which I did also in Jerusalem, and shut up many of the saints in prison; and having received authority from the chief priests, and they being slain, I gave my vote against them;
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 throughout all the synagogues, frequently punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceeding mad against them, I was persecuting them even also unto foreign cities.
12 “Hayssa ha yoozas Qeessista hallaqatappe kummetha godateththine azazo ekkada dammasqqo gizaso ta bishin;
Meanwhile journeying to Damascus with power and authority of the chief priests, I saw on the way, O king,
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.
about midday, a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining around me and those traveling 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.
and we all having fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against goads.
15 Takka (Godo! ne oonne?) Gadis; Godaykka (Ta ne Goda Yesussako!
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou art persecuting.
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 up, and stand upon thy feet: for unto this have I appeared unto thee, to make thee a minister and a martyr both of those things which thou hast seen, and of which I will appear unto thee;
17 Isra7ele asa kushepene ta nena isttakko kittiza Ayhuda gidoontta dere asata kusheppekka ashshana.
delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto 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, to turn them from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in order that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.
19 “Hessa gish kawoo Agirphpha! Salope tas immetida ajjutas ta azazettadis.
Therefore, O king, I was not disobedient to the heavenly 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 first to those in Damascus, and also in Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles, I was preaching that they should repent and turn to God, doing things worthy of repentance.
21 Hessa gaason Ayhudati ta Xoossa keeththan dishin tana oykkidi wodhdhana koyda.
On account of these things the Jews, taking me while in the temple, endeavored 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.
Then having received help from God, I have stood unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said were about to come to pass:
23 Isttikka yootidaysi (Xoossi kittidadey meto beeyana, hayqqope denddon koyro gididi, asi attana poo7o Isra7ele deresinne Isra7ele nayta gidontta deretas qonccana) gizayssakko.”
how that Christ must suffer, how being the first from the resurrection of the dead, he is to proclaim light both to the people, and the Gentiles.
24 Phawulossay hessa yootishin Fisxxossay “Phawulossa! ha7i ne gooyyontta aggakka; ne daro taamaridayssi nena goshshides” gi wassides.
And he making his defence to these things, Festus says with a loud voice, O Paul, thou art beside thyself; many writings turned thee into insanity.
25 Phawulossay gidikko izas hizzgi zaarides “boncho Fisxxossa! ta nes tuma erada yootayss attin goyabeyke.
But Paul says, I am not a maniac, most noble Festus; but I speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26 Ta iza sinththan qonccera yootida kawooy hayssa yooza erres; hayssikka qootara ooththetonttayssa gidida gish kawooy erranayssa ta ammanetayss.
For the king, to whom I also speak boldly, knows concerning these things: for I am persuaded that nothing of these things is hidden; for this has not been done in a corner.
27 Kawoo Agirphpha! nabeta ammanasa gidikki? ne ammanizayssa ta errayss.”
O king Agrippa, dost thou believe the prophets? I know that thou believest them.
28 Agirphphaykka Phawulossa “Hekko ne tana hanno guuththa wode garssan ammanthana koyasa” gides.
And Agrippa said to Paul, With little persuasion thou dost persuade thyself to make me 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.
And Paul said, I would to God, that both in little and in much, not only you, but also all of those hearing me this day, were such as I am, except these bonds.
30 Hessafe guye kawooy, dere ayssizaysi, Barnqanne isttara uttida asaykka wuri denddides.
And the king, and the governor, and Bernice, and those sitting with them, arose up:
31 Istti hepe kezi bishe ba garssan hays addezi hayqqos woykko qachchos gaththiza mishshe aykokka ooththibeyna” gida.
and having gone away, they were talking to one another, saying, that This man is doing nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 Agirphphaykka Fisxxossa “hayssi addezi yooza Qessares shiiqo gonttako aykko woththoy bayndda mela yedistanako shin” gides.
But Agrippa said to Festus, This man was able to have been released, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
