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.
And Saul approved of his execution. On that day a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem, and all the believers 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 carried Stephen away for burial and made 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.
But Saul was ravaging the church. Entering house after house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.
4 Laalletidayti wuri ba bidason bidason Xoossa qaala yootida.
Now those who had been scattered went around preaching the message of good news.
5 Pilphphossaykka Sammariya geetettiza kaatama wodhdhidi asas kiristtossa sabakkides.
Philip went down to a city of Samaria and began proclaiming to them the Christ.
6 Daro derey Pilphphossay ooththiza malata beeydi izzi yootiza qaala wozinappe lo7ethi siyides.
With one accord the crowds paid close attention to what Philip said as they listened to him and saw the signs he was performing.
7 Tuuna ayannatikka daroo asappe wassi wassi kezzida. daro too siillattine wobeetiikka paxxida.
For unclean spirits came out of many who had them, crying out with a loud voice, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.
8 Hessa gish he kaatamma asay daroo uhaaththaa7etides.
And 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 man named Simon had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, declaring 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.
From the least to the greatest, they paid close attention to him, saying, “This man is the great power of God.”
11 Daroo wode ba marrotetha ooson asa malalisida gish asay iza wozinappe kaalishe gam7ides.
They all paid close attention to him because he had amazed them with his magical arts 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 preached 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.
Even Simon himself believed. After he was baptized, he kept close company with Philip and was amazed as he saw miracles and signs taking place.
14 Yerusalamen diza kitetidayti, Sammariya asay Xoossa qaala ekkidi amanidayssa siydi Phixxirossane Yanissa isttakko kittida.
When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John.
15 Isttikka Sammariya gakkidi ammanida asay Xiillo Ayana ekkana mala asas woossida.
These two went down and prayed for the Samaritan believers to receive the Holy Spirit,
16 Gasoykka he wode istti coo Yesussa sunththan xamaqetida attin buroo Xiillo Ayanay isttafe issade bollakka woodhdhibeyna.
for the Spirit had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
17 Hessa gish Phixxirossayne Yanissay ba kushshe asa bolla woththin asay Xiillo Ayana ekkides.
Then Peter and John laid their hands on the Samaritan believers, 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 through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he 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 as well, so that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 Phixxirossay izas zaaridi “Xoossa immotethi ne mishshan shammana qoppiida gish neni ne mishshara isfe dhaya.
But Peter said to him, “May yoʋr silver be destroyed with yoʋ, because yoʋ thought yoʋ could acquire the gift of God with money!
21 Ne wozinay Xoossa sinththan suure gidontta gish nes hayssa ha oosozan gishay woykko eexxa deena.
Yoʋ have no share or portion in this matter, for yoʋr 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.
Therefore repent of this wickedness of yoʋrs, and plead with God in the hope that the intention of yoʋr heart might be forgiven yoʋ.
23 Gasoykka neni iitatethan kummidaysane makal77an qachchista uttidaysi taas bettees” gides.
For I see that yoʋ are bitterly envious and in bondage to unrighteousness.”
24 Simmonaykka zaaridi “Inte gida yootappe aykoykka ta bolla gakontta mala tas Goda wossiti” gides.
In response Simon said, “Pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said will happen to me.”
25 Phixxirossayne Yanissay Goda qaala markkatidayssafene qonccisi yootidayssafe guye daroo Sammariya manddarattan mishshiracho sabbakishe Yerusalame simmida.
After Peter and John had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the good news in many villages of the Samaritans as they went.
26 Goda kitanchay pilphphoossa “dendda! Yerussalameppe duge baggara gede Gaaza ehaaththaiiza baazo oggara ba” gides.
Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south, to the road that goes from Jerusalem down to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.)
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 rose and went. And behold, there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official in charge of the entire treasury of Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians. This man had come to Jerusalem to worship
28 Izi heppe simmishe paara gaaren uttidi nabe Issayasa maaxxafa nababes.
and was sitting in his chariot on his way back home, reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Ayanay pilphphoossa “Ba sekki paara gaarezakko shiiqa” gides.
The Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join that chariot.”
30 Pilphphoossaykka eesotidi paara garezako biiddi adezi nabe Isayasa maaxxahaaththaa nababishin siyidi “Hessi ne nababizayssi nes gellizee?” gides.
So Philip ran up to it and heard the man reading the prophet Isaiah. He said, “Do yoʋ understand what yoʋ are reading?”
31 Addezika tana erisiza urray bayndda ta wostta ero?” gides, Izikka gede iza gaarezan gellidi iza achchan uttana mala wossides.
The man said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” So he invited 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.
This is the passage of Scripture that he was reading: “Like a sheep he was led to slaughter, and like a lamb is silent before its shearer, so he did 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 he was denied justice. Who will tell of his posterity? For his life was taken from the earth.”
34 Addezika zaaridi pilphphoossa “Nabezi hayssa oonna gish gize? Be gish gizeye woykko hara urra gish gizee? Hayana tas yootarkkii!” gides.
The eunuch said to Philip, “I ask yoʋ, who does the prophet say this about? About himself, or about someone else?”
35 Pilphphosaykka ba duna doyydi he maaxxaahaaththaappe oykkidi Yesussa mishiracho qaala gish markkatides.
Then Philip opened his mouth to speak, and beginning from this Scripture, he told him the good news about Jesus.
36 Istti isfe bishe haaththi dizaso gakkida. Addezika “Heko haththi hayssan dees, Histtin ta xammaqetontta mala digizay aaze? gides
As they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water! What prevents 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 the two of them went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, 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 up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but 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, however, found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through that region, he preached the gospel in all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
