Kitetidayta Ootho 28
1 Nu biittay dizaso saarotethan gakkidape guye nu gakkida abba gidoon diza derey malta geetettizaro gididaro erridos.
Our lives having been thus preserved, we discovered 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 strange-speaking natives showed us remarkable kindness, for they lighted a fire and made us all welcome because of the pelting rain and the cold.
3 Phawulossay ahaaththaira miithth shishshidi taaman gujin taama seelappe denddidayssan shoshshi kezidi iza kushe bolla xaaxxetides.
Now, when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and had thrown them on the fire, a viper, driven by the heat, came out and fastened itself on 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 natives saw the creature hanging to his hand, they said to one another, "Beyond doubt this man is a murderer, for, though saved from the sea, unerring Justice does not permit him to live."
5 Phawulossay qass shoshsha duge taman qooqofi yeegidi aykokka hanibeyna.
He, however, shook the reptile off into the fire and was unhurt.
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.
They expected him soon to swell with inflammation or suddenly fall down dead; but, after waiting a long time and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that 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.
Now in the same part of the island there were estates belonging to the Governor, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us to his house, and for three days generously made us his guests.
8 Heeni Puppulyyosa aawa michchayinne guso harrigey sakkin zinniidi des; Phawulossay izakko gellidi izas wossidesinne iza bolla kushe woththidi paththides.
It happened, however, that his father was lying ill of dysentery aggravated by attacks of fever; so Paul went to see him, and, after praying, laid his hands on him and cured him.
9 Hessi hessaththo hanidape guye he dereyin diza hara harriganchati yiidi paxxida.
After this, all the other sick people in the island came and were cured.
10 Asaykka nus daroo mishshe ehidi nuna bonchizayssa nuna bessida; nu markkaben baana denddin nus koshshizayssa markkaben wursi caandda.
They also loaded us with honours, and when at last we sailed they put supplies on board for us.
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.
Three months passed before we set sail in an Alexandrian vessel, called the 'Twin Brothers,' which had wintered at the island.
12 Gede Sirakkose geetettiza kaatama gakkidi heen hedzdzu gallas gammidos.
At Syracuse we put in and stayed for two 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 came round and reached Rhegium; and a day later, a south wind sprang up which brought us by the evening of the next day to Puteoli.
14 Heen ammanizayta demmidi isttara nu lappun gallas gakkanaas uttana mala nuna wossida. Heeppe qasse Rome bidos.
Here we found brethren, who invited us to remain with them for a week; and so we reached 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.
Meanwhile the brethren there, hearing of our movements, came as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Huts to meet us; and when Paul saw them he thanked God and felt encouraged.
16 Nuni Rome gelida wode Phawulossa naganas issi wotadaray izas immettin Phawulossay berkka daana mala izas fiiqadey immettides.
Upon our arrival in Rome, Paul received permission to live by himself, guarded by a soldier.
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 one complete day he invited the leading men among the Jews to meet him; and, when they were come together, he said to them, "As for me, brethren, although I had done nothing prejudicial to our people or contrary to the customs of our forefathers, I was handed over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the power of the Romans.
18 Rome asati tana qori oychchidappe guye tana hayqos gaththiza mishshe demmontta aggida gish birshi yeedana koyida.
They, after they had sharply questioned me, were willing to set me at liberty, because they found no offence in me for which I deserve to die.
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, at last, the opposition of the Jews compelled me to appeal to Caesar; not however that I had any 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.
For these reasons, then, I have invited you here, that I might see you and speak to you; for it is for the sake of Him who is the hope of Israel that this chain hangs upon me."
21 Isttikka izas hizzgi zaarida “Ne gish Yuhuda derepe xaahaaththaettida debidabey nuna gakkibeyina. Ha yida asatape oonikka ne gish iita hasa7iday baawa.
"For our part," they replied, "we have not received any letters from Judaea about you, nor have any of our countrymen come here and reported or stated anything to your disadvantage.
22 Hayssa ne kaalliza ammanoza gish awankka asay iitta hasa7izaysa nu erros. Hessa gish ne qoohaaththaay azakkone nu siyana koyos” gida.
But we should be glad to hear from you what it is that you believe; for as for this sect all we know is that it is everywhere spoken against."
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 arranged a day with him and came to him in considerable numbers at the house of the friends who were entertaining him. And then, with solemn earnestness, he explained to them the subject of the Kingdom of God, endeavouring from morning till evening to convince them about Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
24 Isttafe issi issi asati izi yootida qaala ammanida; Bagayti qass ammanibeytena.
Some were convinced; 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.
Unable to agree among themselves, they at last left him, but not before Paul had spoken a parting word to them, saying, "Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your forefathers through the Prophet Isaiah:
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 tell them, you will hear and hear, and by no means understand; and will look and look, and by no means see.
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 mind has grown callous, their hearing has become dull, and their eyes they have closed; to prevent their ever seeing with their eyes, or hearing with their ears, or understanding with their minds, and turning back, so that I might cure them.'
28 Histtikko Xoosi asi ashshiza kittay ayhuda gidoontta deretaskka kitteetdayssa inte errit; Isttikka erro giidi ekkettes.”
"Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation--God's salvation--has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed."
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.
After this Paul lived for fully two years in a hired house of his own, receiving all who came to see him.
31 Xoossa kawooteth sabbakkon Goda Yesuss Kiristtossa gish oonikka iza diggontta xalatethara asa taamarisides.
He announced the coming of the Kingdom of God, and taught concerning the Lord Jesus Christ without let or hindrance.
