Kitetidayta Ootho 8
1 Sawuleyka isixxipanose hayqon isttara qofan gagidees. He wode Yerusalamen diza ammanizayta bolla gitta goodetethi denddides. Kittetidayti atta ammanizayti wuri yuda awurajjanine saamariya awurajjan wursion lalletida.
At that time a major persecution arose against the church that was in Jerusalem, so all, except the Apostles, were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria.
2 Ayana ooson miinni eqqida asati Isixxifanose moggidi, izas daroo yeekkida.
(Devout men had buried Stephen and made a great lamentation over him.)
3 Sawuley qasse wossa keeththa dhayssanas giixxi denddides. Ammaniza asa issa issa keethi gellidi maccatane addista goochi goochi keesiddi qasho keeththan yeegides.
As for Saul, he was trying to destroy the Church; invading house after house and dragging away both men and women, he was putting them in prison.
4 Laalletidayti wuri ba bidason bidason Xoossa qaala yootida.
So on their part those who were scattered abroad went about preaching the Word.
5 Pilphphossaykka Sammariya geetettiza kaatama wodhdhidi asas kiristtossa sabakkides.
Now Philip, having gone down to a city of Samaria, was proclaiming the Christ to them;
6 Daro derey Pilphphossay ooththiza malata beeydi izzi yootiza qaala wozinappe lo7ethi siyides.
and the crowds gave heed with one accord to what Philip was saying, as they heard the words and saw the signs that he kept performing.
7 Tuuna ayannatikka daroo asappe wassi wassi kezzida. daro too siillattine wobeetiikka paxxida.
Because unclean spirits came out screaming from many who had them, and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.
8 Hessa gish he kaatamma asay daroo uhaaththaa7etides.
Yes, there was great joy in that city!
9 Gido attin hessafe kase he kaattamayin maro marotiidi Sammariya asa daroo malalisizaz ooththiza issi Simmona giza maroy dees. Izikka bena giita asa mala qoodizade.
Now a certain man named Simon was in the city first, practicing sorcery and astounding the people of Samaria, affirming himself to be someone great,
10 Assay wuri guuthatappe gitata gakkanaas wurikka “haysi addezi gitta wolqama geetettiza Xoossa wolqako” gishe izi giza wursi wozinape siyees.
to whom they used to pay attention, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.”
11 Daroo wode ba marrotetha ooson asa malalisida gish asay iza wozinappe kaalishe gam7ides.
They listened to him because he had amazed them with his sorceries for a long time.
12 Gido attin Pilphphossay Xoossa kawootetha gishine Yesuss kiristtossa gish sabbakkiidayssa siyidi ammanniida maccashayne atummassay xammaqetides.
But, when they believed Philip, as he proclaimed the good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the name, Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Simmonaykka ammaniid xammaqetides. Pilphphossakka kaalli bidi haniza giita mallata beeyidi malaletides.
Even Simon himself believed, and having been baptized he stayed right with Philip; observing miracles and signs occurring, he was amazed.
14 Yerusalamen diza kitetidayti, Sammariya asay Xoossa qaala ekkidi amanidayssa siydi Phixxirossane Yanissa isttakko kittida.
Now when the Apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
15 Isttikka Sammariya gakkidi ammanida asay Xiillo Ayana ekkana mala asas woossida.
who upon coming down prayed about them, so that they might receive Holy Spirit,
16 Gasoykka he wode istti coo Yesussa sunththan xamaqetida attin buroo Xiillo Ayanay isttafe issade bollakka woodhdhibeyna.
because He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized into the name of Jesus, the Christ.
17 Hessa gish Phixxirossayne Yanissay ba kushshe asa bolla woththin asay Xiillo Ayana ekkides.
Then they laid their hands upon them and they received Holy Spirit.
18 Simonaykka kitetidayti kushshe woththi wossin Xiillo Ayanay imeetizayssa beeydi Phixxirossasine Yanissas miishshe eekki yiddi
Well, upon observing that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the Apostles' hands, Simon offered them money
19 “Ta iza bolla ta kushshe woththizadey wuri xiillo ayana ekkana mala hayssa mala godateeth taskka immite” giin,
saying, “Give this power to me also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive Holy Spirit.”
20 Phixxirossay izas zaaridi “Xoossa immotethi ne mishshan shammana qoppiida gish neni ne mishshara isfe dhaya.
But Peter said to him: “May your silver go with you into perdition, for thinking that the gift of God could be acquired with money!
21 Ne wozinay Xoossa sinththan suure gidontta gish nes hayssa ha oosozan gishay woykko eexxa deena.
You have neither part nor portion in this matter, because your heart is not right before God.
22 Hayssa ne iitatetha gish ha7i elle marotethan gella, nes Goda wossa, hayssa ne wozina qoohaaththaa nes atto ganakone oone errizay.
Turn away therefore from this your wickedness and make petition to God, in case the intent of your heart may be forgiven you;
23 Gasoykka neni iitatethan kummidaysane makal77an qachchista uttidaysi taas bettees” gides.
for I see you being into a gall of bitterness and a fetter of unrighteousness.”
24 Simmonaykka zaaridi “Inte gida yootappe aykoykka ta bolla gakontta mala tas Goda wossiti” gides.
So in answer Simon said, “You make petition to the Lord on my behalf, so that nothing of what you have spoken may come upon me!”
25 Phixxirossayne Yanissay Goda qaala markkatidayssafene qonccisi yootidayssafe guye daroo Sammariya manddarattan mishshiracho sabbakishe Yerusalame simmida.
So when they had both thoroughly testified and spoken the Word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem; they also evangelized many Samaritan villages.
26 Goda kitanchay pilphphoossa “dendda! Yerussalameppe duge baggara gede Gaaza ehaaththaiiza baazo oggara ba” gides.
Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “Get up and go south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza; it is desolate.”
27 Izikka denddi bides. Hinddako geetettiza Tophiya kawooya ba keeththanine ba kawootethan diza wurso mishsha bolla allafetethan woththida issi Tophiya gunddula assi izara gaggides. He addezi Xoossas goynana Yerusalame bides.
So he got up and went; and there, a man, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court-official of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury, who had come worshiping to Jerusalem
28 Izi heppe simmishe paara gaaren uttidi nabe Issayasa maaxxafa nababes.
—he was returning, sitting in his chariot and reading aloud the prophet Isaiah.
29 Ayanay pilphphoossa “Ba sekki paara gaarezakko shiiqa” gides.
And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go forward and join this chariot.”
30 Pilphphoossaykka eesotidi paara garezako biiddi adezi nabe Isayasa maaxxahaaththaa nababishin siyidi “Hessi ne nababizayssi nes gellizee?” gides.
So running up Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you really understand what you are reading?”
31 Addezika tana erisiza urray bayndda ta wostta ero?” gides, Izikka gede iza gaarezan gellidi iza achchan uttana mala wossides.
So he said, “Well how can I, unless someone guides me?” And he urged Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 Izi nababiiza maaxxahaaththaay “Izi dorssa mala shukeistana laagetides, dorssa laaqqay iththike qanxxizade sinththan co7u giza mala hessathokka izi ba duuna poggibeyna.
Now the portion of the Scripture that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so He does not open His mouth.
33 Bena kawushidi pirday bayndadde gidides. Iza shemppoya biitta bollafe diggista gish, iza yelletitha gish hasa7ana danddaizay oonne?” gees.
In His humiliation His justice was removed, and who will recount His generation? Because His life is removed from the earth.”
34 Addezika zaaridi pilphphoossa “Nabezi hayssa oonna gish gize? Be gish gizeye woykko hara urra gish gizee? Hayana tas yootarkkii!” gides.
So continuing the eunuch said to Philip, “I ask you, about whom does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?”
35 Pilphphosaykka ba duna doyydi he maaxxaahaaththaappe oykkidi Yesussa mishiracho qaala gish markkatides.
So opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, Philip preached Jesus to him.
36 Istti isfe bishe haaththi dizaso gakkida. Addezika “Heko haththi hayssan dees, Histtin ta xammaqetontta mala digizay aaze? gides
Now as they were going down the road they came upon some water, and the eunuch said: “Look, water! What is keeping me from being baptized?”
37 Pilphphoossaykka ne kummetha wozanappe ammanikko xammaqistana dandda7asa giides. Addezika “Yesus Kiristtossay Xoossa na gididayssa amanays” gides.
38 Adezi paara gaarezi eqqana mala azazin namm7ay isfe haathan woodhdhin Pilphphoossay addeza xammaqides.
So he ordered the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
39 Istt haathafe kezishin Xoossa Ayanay Pilphphoossa denththi ehaaththaides. Addez hessafe guye iza beeybeyna. Gido attin uhaaththaaysan ba ogge bides.
Now when they came up out of the water, Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, because he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Hessafe guye Pilphphoossay Azaxxone gizason betides. Qisaariya gizaso gakkanaas izi biza ogge bolla kaataman wurson mishshiracho qaala sabbakides.
Philip was found at Azotus, and as he passed through he evangelized all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
