Kitetidayta Ootho 28
1 Nu biittay dizaso saarotethan gakkidape guye nu gakkida abba gidoon diza derey malta geetettizaro gididaro erridos.
Once we were safely ashore, we learned that the island was called Malta.
2 He dereyin diza asay daroo malaliza keyateth nus ooththides. He wode iray bukkida gishine meego gidida gish tama eththidi nuna mokki ekkida.
The islanders showed us extraordinary kindness. They kindled a fire and welcomed all of us because it was raining and cold.
3 Phawulossay ahaaththaira miithth shishshidi taaman gujin taama seelappe denddidayssan shoshshi kezidi iza kushe bolla xaaxxetides.
Paul gathered a bundle of sticks, and as he laid them on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself to his hand.
4 Malta asay shoshshi Phawulossa kushe bolla xaaxxetidayssa beeyidi “hayssi addezi shemppo wodhdhidade; gasooykka abba bullahepekka izi attidi yikokka pirdiza Xoossafe kessi ekkidi paxxa daana dandda7ebeyna” giidi ba garssan hasa7ettida.
When the islanders saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Surely this man is a murderer. Although he was saved from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”
5 Phawulossay qass shoshsha duge taman qooqofi yeegidi aykokka hanibeyna.
But Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
6 Asaykka “Aydepe ayde iza asatethay kixxanesha, woykko qoopontta kundidi hayqqana” giidi naggides; Gido attin istti daroo wode naggishin iza bolla aykkoyne hanonttayssa beeyidi ba qoofa lammidi “hayssi addezi Xoossa” gides.
The islanders were expecting him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. But after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
7 He nu dizaso matan abba gidoon diza dereyo ayssiza Puppulyyosa geetettizadees gadey des; he addezi nuna mookki ekkidi besoon hedzdzu gallas gakkanaas loo7ethi imatides.
Nearby stood an estate belonging to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us and entertained us hospitably for three days.
8 Heeni Puppulyyosa aawa michchayinne guso harrigey sakkin zinniidi des; Phawulossay izakko gellidi izas wossidesinne iza bolla kushe woththidi paththides.
The father of Publius was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and after praying and placing his hands on him, he healed the man.
9 Hessi hessaththo hanidape guye he dereyin diza hara harriganchati yiidi paxxida.
After this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured as well.
10 Asaykka nus daroo mishshe ehidi nuna bonchizayssa nuna bessida; nu markkaben baana denddin nus koshshizayssa markkaben wursi caandda.
The islanders honored us in many ways and supplied our needs when we were ready to sail.
11 Nu maltan hedzdzu aggina gammidape guye ballggoy adhdhana gakkanaas abba gidoon diza dereyin gammiidi Iskindiryappe yiza markkaben gellidi baana denddidos; He markkabeza bolla Diyossiqqorossa geetettiza nam77u mentte eqqata mislley dees.
After three months we set sail in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered in the island. It had the Twin Brothers as a figurehead.
12 Gede Sirakkose geetettiza kaatama gakkidi heen hedzdzu gallas gammidos.
Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13 Heepe abba bollara biidi Regiyome geetettiza kaatama gakkidos; Heen issi gallas aqidi duge baggara yiza carkkoy carkkida gish nam77anththo gallas Putiyolusa geetettizaso bidos.
From there we weighed anchor and came to Rhegium. After one day, a south wind came up, and on the second day we arrived at Puteoli.
14 Heen ammanizayta demmidi isttara nu lappun gallas gakkanaas uttana mala nuna wossida. Heeppe qasse Rome bidos.
There we found some brothers who invited us to spend the week with them. And so we came to Rome.
15 Romen diza ammaniza asay nu gish siyidi Ahaaththaiyossa geetettiza giyane “hedzdzu aqoso” geetettizaso gakkanaas nuna mookkana yida; phawulossaykka ista beeydi Xoossu galatidesinne minetides.
The brothers there had heard about us and traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and gave thanks to God.
16 Nuni Rome gelida wode Phawulossa naganas issi wotadaray izas immettin Phawulossay berkka daana mala izas fiiqadey immettides.
When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
17 Hedzdzu gaallassafe guye Phawulossay Romen diza Ayhudatape gita asata beekko xeeyigisides; isttikka izakko shiiqin hizzgides “Ta ishato! tani isiraele dere bollane nu aawata woga bolla ooththida issi qohooykka deena; Gido attin yerussalamen tana qachchidi Rome asatas aththi immida.
After three days, he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, I was taken prisoner in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.
18 Rome asati tana qori oychchidappe guye tana hayqos gaththiza mishshe demmontta aggida gish birshi yeedana koyida.
They examined me and wanted to release me, because there was no basis for a death sentence against me.
19 Shin Ayhude asay ta issi wothoy bayindda yeedetontta mala eqqettin ta yooy Qeessare sinthth shiiqidi beetto gaanas tas gidde giddies. Gido attin tani ta dereta mootiza gasoy tas deena.
But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, even though I have no charge to bring against my nation.
20 Ta qass ha7i intena xeeygisiday intena beeyanasine haanno intes yootanaskko. Hayssa sanssalatan ta qachchetiday isiraele naytas immettida uhaaththaayssa gasoonkko.
So for this reason I have called to see you and speak with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
21 Isttikka izas hizzgi zaarida “Ne gish Yuhuda derepe xaahaaththaettida debidabey nuna gakkibeyina. Ha yida asatape oonikka ne gish iita hasa7iday baawa.
The leaders replied, “We have not received any letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the brothers from there reported or even mentioned anything bad about you.
22 Hayssa ne kaalliza ammanoza gish awankka asay iitta hasa7izaysa nu erros. Hessa gish ne qoohaaththaay azakkone nu siyana koyos” gida.
But we consider your views worth hearing, because we know that people everywhere are speaking against this sect.”
23 Bare izas immidi hara gallas kushe kumidi izi diza keeth yida. Izikka maladoppe omarss gakkanaas Xoossa kawootetha gish markkatethan ba qohaaththaa isttas qonccisides. Musse wogappene nabeta maaxxahaaththaatape xaqqasi xaqqasi Yesussa gish isttas gellththi yootides.
So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came to the place he was staying. He expounded to them from morning to evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
24 Isttafe issi issi asati izi yootida qaala ammanida; Bagayti qass ammanibeytena.
Some of them were convinced by what he said, but others refused to believe.
25 Isttikka ba garssan issay issara qohaaththaan gaggontta shakketida; Phawulossay wurssethan yootishe hizzgides “xiillo ayanay nabe isyyasa baggara kasse inte aawatas yootidayssi tumakko.
They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit was right when He spoke to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:
26 Izi yootida qaalay hizzges (Hayssa deerakko baada inte sissi siyana shin yushshi qoppekista, ayfera beeyana shin wozinan woththekista gaada yoota.
‘Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
27 Gasooykka he asata wozinay mumides, istta hayththeykka tuullides; istta ayfey qoqides. Hessaththo hanonttakko istti ba ayfera beeydi ba heyththera siyidi ba wozinan yushshi qoppidi taakko ha simmanane takka istta paththanashin.)
For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’
28 Histtikko Xoosi asi ashshiza kittay ayhuda gidoontta deretaskka kitteetdayssa inte errit; Isttikka erro giidi ekkettes.”
Be advised, therefore, that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”
29 Phawulossay hessa yootidappe guye Ayhuda asati ba garssan daroo pallametishe kezi bida.
30 Phawulossay kiratida keeththan nam77u laythth kumethth de7ides; Beekko yiza asa wursii mokki ekkides.
Paul stayed there two full years in his own rented house, welcoming all who came to visit him.
31 Xoossa kawooteth sabbakkon Goda Yesuss Kiristtossa gish oonikka iza diggontta xalatethara asa taamarisides.
Boldly and freely he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
