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.
Saul approved of his killing. On that very day terrible persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except for the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
2 Ayana ooson miinni eqqida asati Isixxifanose moggidi, izas daroo yeekkida.
(Some faithful followers of God buried Stephen, with great mourning.)
3 Sawuley qasse wossa keeththa dhayssanas giixxi denddides. Ammaniza asa issa issa keethi gellidi maccatane addista goochi goochi keesiddi qasho keeththan yeegides.
But Saul set about destroying the church, going from house to house, dragging both men and women off to prison.
4 Laalletidayti wuri ba bidason bidason Xoossa qaala yootida.
Those who had been scattered spread the word wherever they went.
5 Pilphphossaykka Sammariya geetettiza kaatama wodhdhidi asas kiristtossa sabakkides.
Philip went to the town of Samaria, and told them about the Messiah.
6 Daro derey Pilphphossay ooththiza malata beeydi izzi yootiza qaala wozinappe lo7ethi siyides.
When the crowds heard what Philip was saying and saw the miracles he did they all paid attention to what he was telling them.
7 Tuuna ayannatikka daroo asappe wassi wassi kezzida. daro too siillattine wobeetiikka paxxida.
Many were freed from possession by evil spirits that screamed as they came out, and many who were lame or disabled were healed.
8 Hessa gish he kaatamma asay daroo uhaaththaa7etides.
The people who lived in the city were overjoyed.
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 there was a man named Simon who lived in the city. He practiced sorcery. He claimed that he was someone very important, and had astounded the people of Samaria
10 Assay wuri guuthatappe gitata gakkanaas wurikka “haysi addezi gitta wolqama geetettiza Xoossa wolqako” gishe izi giza wursi wozinape siyees.
so they all paid attention to him. From the lowest to the highest in society they said, “This man is ‘God the Great Power.’”
11 Daroo wode ba marrotetha ooson asa malalisida gish asay iza wozinappe kaalishe gam7ides.
They were impressed by him because he had amazed them with his magic for so long.
12 Gido attin Pilphphossay Xoossa kawootetha gishine Yesuss kiristtossa gish sabbakkiidayssa siyidi ammanniida maccashayne atummassay xammaqetides.
But when they believed in what Philip told them about the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Simmonaykka ammaniid xammaqetides. Pilphphossakka kaalli bidi haniza giita mallata beeyidi malaletides.
Simon too believed and was baptized. He accompanied Philip, amazed at the miraculous signs and wonders he saw.
14 Yerusalamen diza kitetidayti, Sammariya asay Xoossa qaala ekkidi amanidayssa siydi Phixxirossane Yanissa isttakko kittida.
When the apostles back in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to visit them.
15 Isttikka Sammariya gakkidi ammanida asay Xiillo Ayana ekkana mala asas woossida.
When they arrived they prayed for the converts in Samaria to receive the Holy Spirit.
16 Gasoykka he wode istti coo Yesussa sunththan xamaqetida attin buroo Xiillo Ayanay isttafe issade bollakka woodhdhibeyna.
The Holy Spirit hadn't come to any of these converts yet—they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Hessa gish Phixxirossayne Yanissay ba kushshe asa bolla woththin asay Xiillo Ayana ekkides.
The apostles placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 Simonaykka kitetidayti kushshe woththi wossin Xiillo Ayanay imeetizayssa beeydi Phixxirossasine Yanissas miishshe eekki yiddi
When Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given when the apostles placed their hands on people, he offered them money.
19 “Ta iza bolla ta kushshe woththizadey wuri xiillo ayana ekkana mala hayssa mala godateeth taskka immite” giin,
“Give me this power, too,” he asked them, “so that anyone I place my hands on will receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 Phixxirossay izas zaaridi “Xoossa immotethi ne mishshan shammana qoppiida gish neni ne mishshara isfe dhaya.
“May your money be destroyed together with you for thinking God's gift is something that can be bought!” Peter replied.
21 Ne wozinay Xoossa sinththan suure gidontta gish nes hayssa ha oosozan gishay woykko eexxa deena.
“You're not part of any of this. None of this work belongs to you, because in God's eyes your attitude is totally wrong.
22 Hayssa ne iitatetha gish ha7i elle marotethan gella, nes Goda wossa, hayssa ne wozina qoohaaththaa nes atto ganakone oone errizay.
Repent of your evil ways! Pray to the Lord and ask forgiveness for thinking like this.
23 Gasoykka neni iitatethan kummidaysane makal77an qachchista uttidaysi taas bettees” gides.
I can see that you are full of bitter envy, and chained down by your sin.”
24 Simmonaykka zaaridi “Inte gida yootappe aykoykka ta bolla gakontta mala tas Goda wossiti” gides.
“Please pray for me, that nothing you've said may happen to me!” Simon replied.
25 Phixxirossayne Yanissay Goda qaala markkatidayssafene qonccisi yootidayssafe guye daroo Sammariya manddarattan mishshiracho sabbakishe Yerusalame simmida.
After they had given their testimony and shared the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, sharing the good news in many Samaritan villages along the way.
26 Goda kitanchay pilphphoossa “dendda! Yerussalameppe duge baggara gede Gaaza ehaaththaiiza baazo oggara ba” gides.
An angel of the Lord told Philip, “Get ready and go south to the desert road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
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 Philip set out, and met an Ethiopian man, a eunuch who had a high position in the service of the Kandake, Queen of Ethiopia. He was her chief treasurer. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship there, and
28 Izi heppe simmishe paara gaaren uttidi nabe Issayasa maaxxafa nababes.
was returning from his trip, sitting in his chariot. He was reading out loud from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
29 Ayanay pilphphoossa “Ba sekki paara gaarezakko shiiqa” gides.
The Spirit told Philip, “Go over close to the chariot.”
30 Pilphphoossaykka eesotidi paara garezako biiddi adezi nabe Isayasa maaxxahaaththaa nababishin siyidi “Hessi ne nababizayssi nes gellizee?” gides.
So Philip ran over, and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. “Do you understand what you're reading?” Philip asked him.
31 Addezika tana erisiza urray bayndda ta wostta ero?” gides, Izikka gede iza gaarezan gellidi iza achchan uttana mala wossides.
“How can I, unless someone explains it?” the man replied. He invited Philip to get in and sit beside him.
32 Izi nababiiza maaxxahaaththaay “Izi dorssa mala shukeistana laagetides, dorssa laaqqay iththike qanxxizade sinththan co7u giza mala hessathokka izi ba duuna poggibeyna.
The Scripture passage he was reading was this: “He was led like a sheep to be slaughtered. Like a lamb is silent in front of his shearer, he didn't say a word.
33 Bena kawushidi pirday bayndadde gidides. Iza shemppoya biitta bollafe diggista gish, iza yelletitha gish hasa7ana danddaizay oonne?” gees.
He was humiliated and denied justice. No one can speak of his descendants, for his life came to an end.”
34 Addezika zaaridi pilphphoossa “Nabezi hayssa oonna gish gize? Be gish gizeye woykko hara urra gish gizee? Hayana tas yootarkkii!” gides.
The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, who is the prophet talking about? Is it himself, or someone else?”
35 Pilphphosaykka ba duna doyydi he maaxxaahaaththaappe oykkidi Yesussa mishiracho qaala gish markkatides.
Philip started explaining, beginning from this Scripture, telling him about Jesus.
36 Istti isfe bishe haaththi dizaso gakkida. Addezika “Heko haththi hayssan dees, Histtin ta xammaqetontta mala digizay aaze? gides
As they continued on, they came to a stretch of water. The eunuch said, “Look, there's water here—why shouldn't I be 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.
He ordered that the chariot be stopped. Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water and Philip baptized him.
39 Istt haathafe kezishin Xoossa Ayanay Pilphphoossa denththi ehaaththaides. Addez hessafe guye iza beeybeyna. Gido attin uhaaththaaysan ba ogge bides.
When they came out of the water the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again, but he continued on his way full of joy. Philip found himself at Azotus.
40 Hessafe guye Pilphphoossay Azaxxone gizason betides. Qisaariya gizaso gakkanaas izi biza ogge bolla kaataman wurson mishshiracho qaala sabbakides.
He spread the good news in all the towns along the way until he arrived at Caesarea.
