Kitetidayta Ootho 9
1 Sawuley Goda ammaniiza asa wodhannas ceqetishshe qeessista halaqqako bidees.
But meanwhile Saul was making violent threats against the disciples of the Lord, wanting to kill them. He went to the high priest
2 Goda oggee kaallizayta maccatanne addeista demmi qachchidi Yerusalame ekki yannas Damasqqoo gizason diza Ayhudata wossa keethas dabbidabe xaafana mala qeessista halaqa woosides.
and asked for letters of authorization to take with him to the synagogues in Damascus, giving him permission to arrest any believers in the Way that he found, men or women, and bring them back to Jerusalem as prisoners.
3 Damasqqo gakkanna matishshin qoppontta salope po77oy iza yushshon pol7u giides.
As Saul approached Damascus, suddenly he was surrounded by a light that blazed down from heaven.
4 Izikka herakka biitta bolla kunddidi salope “Sawule Sawule” tana aazas gooddazii? giza qaala siyydes.
He fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
5 Sawuleykka Godo ne oonnee? giides. Izikka izas “tanni ne goodeththiza Yesussakko!
“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, the one you're persecuting,” he replied.
6 Ne ha7i denddada gede kaatama gella, ne ooththanas besiizaz nes yootana” gides.
“Get up, go on into the city, and you'll be told what to do.”
7 Sawulera isippe biza asati qaala gireththi sisafe attin oonnakka beeyonntta gish ba dunna oykki eqqiida.
The men who were traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice speaking, but they didn't see anyone.
8 Sawuley ba kunddidasope denddidi ayfee doyi xeellizza wode aykokka demmanas dandda7ibeyna. Hessa gish izara diza asatti iza kushshe oykkiddi kaaleththi ekkidi Dammasqqo ehaaththaida.
Saul got to his feet, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything. His companions took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.
9 Hedzdzu gaalas gakkanaas qooqidine kathth hathth beeybeyna.
For three days he couldn't see, and he didn't eat or drink anything.
10 Dammasqqon issi Hananiiya geetetiiza ammannizadey dees. Izas Goday ajjutan “Hananiiya” giddi xeeygides, izikka “yee Godo” gides.
A follower of Jesus called Ananias lived in Damascus, and the Lord spoke to him in a vision. “Ananias!” he called. “I'm here, Lord,” Ananias responded.
11 Godaykka iza “dendda Surre geetettiza oggeyra Yuda geetettizadeso ba. Heen Sawule geetettiza issi Xarssesse assi wossishshe dess ne iza koya deemma.
“Get up, and go to Straight Street,” the Lord told him. “Ask at Judas' house for someone called Saul, from Tarsus. He's praying.
12 Gasooykka Hananiya geetetizzadey Sawuley dizaso yiddi izi xeelana mala iza bolla ba kushshe wothishinine ajjutan beyidees.
He's seen in vision a man called Ananias come and place his hands on him so he can regain his sight.”
13 Hananiyaykka zaaridi “Godo” ha urray Yerussalemen diza geshshata bolla aymala qooho gaththidakone ta daroo asape siyadiss.
“But Lord,” Ananias replied, “I've heard a lot about this man—about all the evil things he did to the believers in Jerusalem.
14 Izi haa yiday ne sunththa xeeygizayta wurssi qachchanas qeessista halaqqatape godateth ekkiddikko.
The chief priests have given him the power to arrest everyone here that worships and follows you.”
15 Godaykka izas “Ne ba! haysi addezi Isra7ele gidonta dereta sinththanine kawoota sinththan hessaththokka Isra7eele dere sinththan ta sunththu tookana mala izi tas dooretiddade.
But the Lord told him, “Get on your way, because he is the person I have chosen to take my name to foreigners and kings, as well as to Israel.
16 Izi ta sunththa gish aymalla waaye beeyanako ta iza beesana” gides.
I will show him what he'll have to suffer for my name's sake.”
17 Hananiyaykka bidi izas yoottetidaso gelideess. Sawule bolla ba kushshe woththiddi “Ta ishsha Sawule ne ha yishshin nes ogge bolla qonccida Goda Yesussay ne ayfeey xeelana malane Xiillo Ayanan nenan kumana mala tana neekko kittides” gidees.
So Ananias left and went to the house. He placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “The Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were traveling here, has sent me so you can regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 Herakka Sawule ayfepe poqqo malay poqqeti wodhdhin Izi xeellana dandda7idesine denddi xamaqetides.
Immediately, something like scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized.
19 Kaththika miiddi minnides. Unddena wode ammanizaytara Dammasqqon gammides.
He also had something to eat and felt stronger. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
20 Herakka Yesussay Xoossa na gididayssa Ayhudata wossa keethatan tammariso oykkides.
He immediately started speaking in the synagogues, saying, “Jesus is the Son of God.”
21 Siyida asay wuri “haysii yerussalamen ha sunththa xeeygizayta dhayisiza addeza giidene? Qasse izi ha yiday he asata qachchi ekki qeessista halaqatako ehaaththaanas gideene” gishe malaletida.
All who heard him were amazed, and asked, “Isn't this the man who caused so much trouble in Jerusalem for those who believed in Jesus? Wasn't he coming here to have the believers arrested and taken in chains to the chief priests?”
22 Sawuley kasepe minni minni bides. Damasqqon diza Ayhudatas Yesussay izi Xoossi kittidade gididaysa ammanthishe asa duuna oyththides.
Saul grew more and more confident, proving Jesus was the Messiah so convincingly that the Jews who lived in Damascus could not refute him.
23 Daroo gaalassatape guye Ayhudatti Sawule wodhdhanas dulatida.
Some time later the Jews plotted together to kill him,
24 Izikka istta qoofa errides. Isttikka iza wodhdhanas kaatama gelthiza ogen gaalassine qama nagiida.
but Saul learned of their intentions. Day and night they waited by the city gates looking for the chance to murder him.
25 Ammaniizayti gidiiko iza gidothth kaatama gimbbe guththa lukoor xaysen duge wooththida.
So during the night his followers took him and lowered him down in a basket from an opening in the city wall.
26 Sawuley Yerusalame yiidi ammanizaytara wallakettana koyin isti izi tumu ammanizade gididayssa ammanetoontta gish izas babbida.
When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to meet with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him because they were not convinced he was really a disciple.
27 Gido attin Barnabassay iza kittetidaytako ehaaththain sawuley izi Damasqqo ogge bolla Goda wostti beeydakoone Godaykka izas ayi yootidakoone qasekka Damasqqon dishshe izi aymala xalateththara Yesusa suntahan sabakidakko isttas yootides.
However, Barnabas took him to meet the apostles, and explained to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and how the Lord had spoken to Saul. Barnabas also explained how in Damascus Saul had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 Hessa gish Sawuley isttara deyides. Yerusalamen yuyi yuyidi babontta goda sunththan yootids.
Saul stayed with the apostles and accompanied them all over Jerusalem,
29 Girikke derepe yida Ayhudistara hasa7ishe palameetides, gido attin asaykka iza wodhanas koydes.
speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. He talked and debated with the Greek-speaking Jews, but they tried to kill him.
30 Ammanizayitti hessa erridi duge Qisariya gizaso woththidi Xarssesse yediida.
When the brothers learned of this they took him to Caesarea, and sent him to Tarsus.
31 Hessa wode Yudanine Galilan, Sammariyankka diza ammanizaytti saron deyiddi kasepe minnida. Qasseka Xoossa yashshatethan simeretishshe Xiillo Ayanan minetidane kasepe qoodan dari dari biida.
During this time the whole church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was left in peace. The church grew strong and increased rapidly in numbers as the believers lived reverently for the Lord, encouraged by the Holy Spirit.
32 Phixiroossay derepe deren yuyishshe Liida kataman diza ammanizayta beeyanas dugge wodhdhides.
Peter was traveling around and went to visit the believers who lived in Lydda.
33 Heen Eena geetettizade osppun layththa hixxan qachchetida issi gundda assi demmides.
There he met a man called Aeneas who was paralyzed and had been confined to his bed for eight years.
34 Phixiroossaykka “Hayso Eena Yesuss kiristtossay nena paththana, dendda ne hiixa denththa” giides. Eenay herakka puththurkku gi dendides.
Peter told him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and pick up your mat!” Immediately Aeneas got up.
35 Liidanine Saroonan diza asay wuri iza beeyidi Godan ammanides.
Everyone living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and became believers in the Lord.
36 Yoophe gizason Xabbiita geetettiza issi ammanizara daysu. Izi sunththa birshechchi Girkke qaalara “dorqqa” geetetes. Iza wursio wode loo77o ooso minna ooththashene manqqota maddashe daysu.
In Joppa lived a follower called Tabitha (Dorcas in Greek). She was always doing good and helping the poor.
37 He wode iza harggada heyqqin asay aha mecci pude fooqqen kesii wothida.
However, about this time she became sick, and died. After washing her body, they laid her out in an upstairs room.
38 Liiday Yophphes maata gidida gish ammanizayti phixiroossay Liidan dizayssa siyddi namm7u asata kittidi “Elle ha yarkki” gi wossida.
Lydda was near Joppa, so the disciples in Joppa, hearing that Peter was in Lydda, sent two men to him with the message, “Please come to us right away.”
39 Phixiroossaykka denddidi kittetida asatara gakkida wode iza pude he fooqqe bolla kessida. Am7etikka wuri iza yuyi aadhi eqqidi dorqqay paxxa dashe isttara ooththida qamisatane mayoota besi besi yeekkida.
So Peter got ready and left with them. When he arrived they took him upstairs. All the widows were there crying, and they showed him the coats and clothes that Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 Phixiroossaykka asa wursi kifilezape keesikinne gulbatidi woossides. Ahakko simmidi “Hane xabbiita dendda!” gidees. Izakka ba ayfe dooyada xeeladdus. Phixiroossaka beeyada dendda utadusu.
Peter told them all to leave, kneeled down, and prayed. He turned to the body and said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.
41 Izikka izi kushshe oykki denththides. Ammanizaytane ammi7ista xeeygidi izo istas paxxa shempora immidees.
He took her by the hand and lifted her up. He called in the believers and the widows, and presented her to them alive.
42 He hanoy kumeththa yophphen erretidesine daroo asayka godo ammanides.
The news spread through the whole of Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Phixiroossaykka issi simmona geetettiza galliba qaaccizadeera yophphen daroo wode deydees.
Peter spent a long time in Joppa, staying at the house of Simon the tanner.
