Kitetidayta Ootho 9
1 Sawuley Goda ammaniiza asa wodhannas ceqetishshe qeessista halaqqako bidees.
Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats of murder against the disciples of the Lord, 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 begged of him letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any that were of the Way, either men or women, he could bind them and bring them to Jerusalem.
3 Damasqqo gakkanna matishshin qoppontta salope po77oy iza yushshon pol7u giides.
And as he journeyed, when he was approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed round him.
4 Izikka herakka biitta bolla kunddidi salope “Sawule Sawule” tana aazas gooddazii? giza qaala siyydes.
He fell to the ground, and heard a voice which said to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"
5 Sawuleykka Godo ne oonnee? giides. Izikka izas “tanni ne goodeththiza Yesussakko!
And he said, "Who are you Lord?"
6 Ne ha7i denddada gede kaatama gella, ne ooththanas besiizaz nes yootana” gides.
"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he said. "Stand up and go into the city, and there you shall be told what you must do."
7 Sawulera isippe biza asati qaala gireththi sisafe attin oonnakka beeyonntta gish ba dunna oykki eqqiida.
Meanwhile the men who were his fellow travelers stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice, but beholding no one.
8 Sawuley ba kunddidasope denddidi ayfee doyi xeellizza wode aykokka demmanas dandda7ibeyna. Hessa gish izara diza asatti iza kushshe oykkiddi kaaleththi ekkidi Dammasqqo ehaaththaida.
And Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open, he continued to perceive nothing; so they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.
9 Hedzdzu gaalas gakkanaas qooqidine kathth hathth beeybeyna.
And he remained there three days, seeing nothing, and without eating or drinking.
10 Dammasqqon issi Hananiiya geetetiiza ammannizadey dees. Izas Goday ajjutan “Hananiiya” giddi xeeygides, izikka “yee Godo” gides.
Now there was in Damascus a disciple named Ananias, and the Lord spoke to him in a vision, saying, "Ananias!" And he answered, "Lo, I am here, Lord."
11 Godaykka iza “dendda Surre geetettiza oggeyra Yuda geetettizadeso ba. Heen Sawule geetettiza issi Xarssesse assi wossishshe dess ne iza koya deemma.
And the Lord said to him. "Arise, go into the street named ‘Straight,’ and make inquiries in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus, one Saul.
12 Gasooykka Hananiya geetetizzadey Sawuley dizaso yiddi izi xeelana mala iza bolla ba kushshe wothishinine ajjutan beyidees.
He is now praying, and has seen a man named Ananias enter and lay his hands on him to restore his sight."
13 Hananiyaykka zaaridi “Godo” ha urray Yerussalemen diza geshshata bolla aymala qooho gaththidakone ta daroo asape siyadiss.
"But, Lord," said Ananias, "I have heard from many about that man, and how much evil he did to the saints at Jerusalem!
14 Izi haa yiday ne sunththa xeeygizayta wurssi qachchanas qeessista halaqqatape godateth ekkiddikko.
"In this city, too, he has authority from the chief priests to arrest all those who call upon thy name."
15 Godaykka izas “Ne ba! haysi addezi Isra7ele gidonta dereta sinththanine kawoota sinththan hessaththokka Isra7eele dere sinththan ta sunththu tookana mala izi tas dooretiddade.
"Go," answered the Lord, "this man is chosen instrument of mine to bear my name before the nations and their kings, and before the Children of Israel also;
16 Izi ta sunththa gish aymalla waaye beeyanako ta iza beesana” gides.
"for I am going to show him all he has to suffer for the sake of my name."
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.
And so Ananias went and entered into the house, and laying his hands on him, said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on your journey, has sent me that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
18 Herakka Sawule ayfepe poqqo malay poqqeti wodhdhin Izi xeellana dandda7idesine denddi xamaqetides.
Instantly something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
19 Kaththika miiddi minnides. Unddena wode ammanizaytara Dammasqqon gammides.
Afterward he took food and was strengthened. And he remained for some time with the disciples at Damascus.
20 Herakka Yesussay Xoossa na gididayssa Ayhudata wossa keethatan tammariso oykkides.
And he began at once to proclaim in the synagogues Jesus as 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.
His hearers were all astonished, and began to say. "Is not this the very man who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called upon the Name? Did he not come hither for the express purpose of carrying them all in chains to the high priests?"
22 Sawuley kasepe minni minni bides. Damasqqon diza Ayhudatas Yesussay izi Xoossi kittidade gididaysa ammanthishe asa duuna oyththides.
But Saul gained more and more influence, and kept putting the Jews who lived in Damascus to confusion by his proof that Jesus was the Christ.
23 Daroo gaalassatape guye Ayhudatti Sawule wodhdhanas dulatida.
And when many days were fulfilled the Jews made a plot to kill Saul;
24 Izikka istta qoofa errides. Isttikka iza wodhdhanas kaatama gelthiza ogen gaalassine qama nagiida.
but information of their plot was given Saul, and although they kept watch day and night on the gates, in order to make away with him,
25 Ammaniizayti gidiiko iza gidothth kaatama gimbbe guththa lukoor xaysen duge wooththida.
his disciples took him by night, and let him down over the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Sawuley Yerusalame yiidi ammanizaytara wallakettana koyin isti izi tumu ammanizade gididayssa ammanetoontta gish izas babbida.
So he came to Jerusalem, and attempted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe that he was 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.
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and told them how Saul had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him; and also how he had preached the Name of the Lord Jesus boldly at Damascus.
28 Hessa gish Sawuley isttara deyides. Yerusalamen yuyi yuyidi babontta goda sunththan yootids.
Henceforth Saul was one of them, going in and out of the city, and speaking fearlessly in the Name of the Lord.
29 Girikke derepe yida Ayhudistara hasa7ishe palameetides, gido attin asaykka iza wodhanas koydes.
He also used to hold conversations and debates with the Grecian Jews, but they kept trying to kill him.
30 Ammanizayitti hessa erridi duge Qisariya gizaso woththidi Xarssesse yediida.
When they learned this the brothers took him down to Caesarea, and then sent him forth 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.
Now throughout the whole of Judea, Galilee, and Samaria the Church continued to enjoy peace and to be spiritually built up. It was increasing in members also, as it kept walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32 Phixiroossay derepe deren yuyishshe Liida kataman diza ammanizayta beeyanas dugge wodhdhides.
Now Peter, as he was going from town to town, came down also to the saints who lived in Lydda.
33 Heen Eena geetettizade osppun layththa hixxan qachchetida issi gundda assi demmides.
Here he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, a paralytic.
34 Phixiroossaykka “Hayso Eena Yesuss kiristtossay nena paththana, dendda ne hiixa denththa” giides. Eenay herakka puththurkku gi dendides.
Peter said to him. "Aeneas, Jesus Christ cures you! Rise and make your own bed!"
35 Liidanine Saroonan diza asay wuri iza beeyidi Godan ammanides.
At once he rose to his feet. All the people of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to 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.
Among the disciples at Joppa was a woman named Tabitha - which may be translated Dorcas or "Gazelle" - a woman whose life was full of good works and almsgiving, which she was doing continually.
37 He wode iza harggada heyqqin asay aha mecci pude fooqqen kesii wothida.
She, as it happened, was taken ill just at that time, and died. After washing her body, they laid it in an upper room.
38 Liiday Yophphes maata gidida gish ammanizayti phixiroossay Liidan dizayssa siyddi namm7u asata kittidi “Elle ha yarkki” gi wossida.
And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, when they heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the entreaty, "Delay not to come to us."
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 arose and went with them. On his arrival they took him up- stairs, and all the widows stood near him, weeping, and showing him the cloaks and garments which Dorcas used to make, while she was still 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.
But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down, and prayed; and then turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, rise!" She opened her eyes, and on seeing Peter she sat up.
41 Izikka izi kushshe oykki denththides. Ammanizaytane ammi7ista xeeygidi izo istas paxxa shempora immidees.
Then he gave her his hand and raised her up, and after calling the saints and the widows, he gave her back to them alive.
42 He hanoy kumeththa yophphen erretidesine daroo asayka godo ammanides.
This incident became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Phixiroossaykka issi simmona geetettiza galliba qaaccizadeera yophphen daroo wode deydees.
Peter stayed for some time in Joppa, lodging in the house of Simon, the tanner.
