Kitetidayta Ootho 26
1 Agirphphay Phawulossa “ne ne gish hasa7anas dandda7assa) gides. Phawulossaykka ba kushe denthidi malththe hizgi immides.
And, Agrippa, to Paul, said—It is permitted thee, on thine own behalf, to be speaking. Then Paul, stretching forth his hand, went on to make his defence.
2 “Kawoo Agirphpha! tana Ayhudati moootiza yoo wursisos hach ta ne sinththan tana maadana malththe immiza gish tana daroo ufayses.
Concerning all things of which I am accused by Jews, King Agrippa, I have been counting myself happy, that, before thee, am I about, this day, to be making my defence;
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, well-versed, in all the Jewish customs and questions. Wherefore, I beseech thee, patiently, to hear me.
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.
My manner of life, then, from my youth, which, from its commencement, was formed among my nation, even in Jerusalem, know all Jews,
5 Qassekka istti markkatana koykko nu ammano gish ta keha minththa woga naggiza Parsawe bagga gidada gamm7idade gididayssa istti koyrope denththidi erretes.
inasmuch as they were aforetime observing me, from the outset, —if they please to bear witness, —that, according to the strictest sect of our own 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, unto our fathers, being brought to pass by God, am I standing to be 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 [hope], our twelve-tribed nation, with intensity, night and day, rendering divine service, is hoping to attain—concerning which hope, I am being accused by Jews, O King!
8 Xoossi hayqqidayta denththanayssi wannidi Ayhuda gidida inte achchan ammanetibeyne?
What! incredible, is it judged with you, that, God the dead doth raise?
9 Takka ta baggara Nazirete Yesussa sunththa eqqistanas beses gada qoppadis shin;
I, therefore, imagined to myself, that, against the name of Jesus the Nazarene, it was needful, many hostile things, to bring about, —
10 Tani Yerusalamen ooththidaykka hessakoshin; Qeessista hallaqqatape ta ekkida godateththara ammanizaytape daroota qasho keeththan yegiissadis; istta wodhdhishin wodhdhizaytara isfe days.
which also I did in Jerusalem, yea and, many of the saints, I myself, in prisons, shut up, —the authority, from the High-priests, having received: and, when they were to be put to death, I brought against them my vote;
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, ofttimes punishing them, I would fain have compelled them to defame; and, being excessively maddened against them, I went on to pursue them as far as even the outlying cities.
12 “Hayssa ha yoozas Qeessista hallaqatappe kummetha godateththine azazo ekkada dammasqqo gizaso ta bishin;
Among which things, being on a journey unto Damascus, with the authority and commission of the High-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 mid-day, on the road, I saw, O King, from heaven, above the splendour of the sun, shining around me, a light, and [around] them who, with me, were journeying;
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, when we were all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice, saying unto me, in the Hebrew language—Saul! Saul! why, me, art thou persecuting? It is hard for thee, against goads, to be kicking!
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 and stand upon thy feet; for, to this end, have I appeared unto thee, —To appoint thee an attendant and a witness, both of the things as to which thou hast seen me, and of those as to which I will appear unto thee:
17 Isra7ele asa kushepene ta nena isttakko kittiza Ayhuda gidoontta dere asata kusheppekka ashshana.
Rescuing thee from among the people, and from among the nations, unto whom, I, am sending 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 turn from darkness unto light, and the authority of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among them who have been made holy by the faith respecting me.
19 “Hessa gish kawoo Agirphpha! Salope tas immetida ajjutas ta azazettadis.
Wherefore, O King Agrippa, —I became not disobedient unto 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—both to them in Damascus, first, and in Jerusalem, unto all the country of Judaea also, and unto the nations, I carried tidings—that they should repent, and turn unto God, and, works worthy of their repentance, should practise.
21 Hessa gaason Ayhudati ta Xoossa keeththan dishin tana oykkidi wodhdhana koyda.
Because of these things, Jews seized me in the temple, and were attempting to slay me with their own hands.
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.
So then, having met with, the help that is from God, until this day, do I stand, witnessing to both small and great, nothing else saying, than those things which both the prophets, and Moses, did say should certainly 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.”
If, to suffer, the Christ was destined, if, the first of a resurrection of the dead, he is about to carry tidings, of light, both unto the people, and unto the nations.
24 Phawulossay hessa yootishin Fisxxossay “Phawulossa! ha7i ne gooyyontta aggakka; ne daro taamaridayssi nena goshshides” gi wassides.
Now, as he was saying these things in his defence, Festus, with a loud voice, saith—Thou art raving, Paul! Thy great learning, is turning thee round unto, raving madness.
25 Phawulossay gidikko izas hizzgi zaarides “boncho Fisxxossa! ta nes tuma erada yootayss attin goyabeyke.
But Paul—I am not raving (saith he), most noble Festus, —but, the declarations of truth and soberness, am I sounding forth:
26 Ta iza sinththan qonccera yootida kawooy hayssa yooza erres; hayssikka qootara ooththetonttayssa gidida gish kawooy erranayssa ta ammanetayss.
For well-knoweth, the king, concerning these things, unto whom, with boldness of utterance, am I speaking; for, that these things are not hidden from him, I am well persuaded, —for, not in a corner, hath this thing been done.
27 Kawoo Agirphpha! nabeta ammanasa gidikki? ne ammanizayssa ta errayss.”
Believest thou, King Agrippa, in the prophets? I know that thou believest!
28 Agirphphaykka Phawulossa “Hekko ne tana hanno guuththa wode garssan ammanthana koyasa” gides.
And, Agrippa, [said] unto Paul—Almost, art thou persuading, 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.
And, Paul, [answered] —I could pray unto God that, both almost and altogether, not only thou but all they who are hearing me this day, might become such, —as even, I, am, excepting these bonds.
30 Hessafe guye kawooy, dere ayssizaysi, Barnqanne isttara uttida asaykka wuri denddides.
And the king rose up, and the governor, Bernice also, and they who had been sitting with them;
31 Istti hepe kezi bishe ba garssan hays addezi hayqqos woykko qachchos gaththiza mishshe aykokka ooththibeyna” gida.
And, retiring, they began conversing one with another, saying, Nothing worthy of death or of bonds, doth this man practise.
32 Agirphphaykka Fisxxossa “hayssi addezi yooza Qessares shiiqo gonttako aykko woththoy bayndda mela yedistanako shin” gides.
And, Agrippa, unto Festus, said—This man might have been released, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
