Kitetidayta Ootho 9
1 Sawuley Goda ammaniiza asa wodhannas ceqetishshe qeessista halaqqako bidees.
Now Saul, whose every breath was a threat of destruction for the disciples of the Lord,
2 Goda oggee kaallizayta maccatanne addeista demmi qachchidi Yerusalame ekki yannas Damasqqoo gizason diza Ayhudata wossa keethas dabbidabe xaafana mala qeessista halaqa woosides.
went to the High Priest and begged from him letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, in order that if he found any believers there, either men or women, he might bring them in chains to Jerusalem.
3 Damasqqo gakkanna matishshin qoppontta salope po77oy iza yushshon pol7u giides.
But on the journey, as he was getting near Damascus, suddenly there flashed round him a light from Heaven;
4 Izikka herakka biitta bolla kunddidi salope “Sawule Sawule” tana aazas gooddazii? giza qaala siyydes.
and falling to the ground he 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!
"Who art thou, Lord?" he asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," was the reply.
6 Ne ha7i denddada gede kaatama gella, ne ooththanas besiizaz nes yootana” gides.
"But rise and go to the city, and you will be told what you are to do.
7 Sawulera isippe biza asati qaala gireththi sisafe attin oonnakka beeyonntta gish ba dunna oykki eqqiida.
Meanwhile the men who travelled with Saul were standing dumb with amazement, hearing a sound, but seeing 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.
Then he rose from the ground, but when he had opened his eyes, he could not see, and they led him by the arm and brought him to Damascus.
9 Hedzdzu gaalas gakkanaas qooqidine kathth hathth beeybeyna.
And for two days he remained without sight, and did not eat or drink anything.
10 Dammasqqon issi Hananiiya geetetiiza ammannizadey dees. Izas Goday ajjutan “Hananiiya” giddi xeeygides, izikka “yee Godo” gides.
Now in Damascus there was a disciple of the name of Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, saying, "Ananias!" "I am here, Lord," he answered.
11 Godaykka iza “dendda Surre geetettiza oggeyra Yuda geetettizadeso ba. Heen Sawule geetettiza issi Xarssesse assi wossishshe dess ne iza koya deemma.
"Rise," said the Lord, "and go to Straight Street, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man called Saul, from Tarsus, for he is actually praying.
12 Gasooykka Hananiya geetetizzadey Sawuley dizaso yiddi izi xeelana mala iza bolla ba kushshe wothishinine ajjutan beyidees.
He has seen a man called Ananias come and lay his hands upon him so that he may recover his sight."
13 Hananiyaykka zaaridi “Godo” ha urray Yerussalemen diza geshshata bolla aymala qooho gaththidakone ta daroo asape siyadiss.
"Lord," answered Ananias, "I have heard about that man from many, and I have heard of the great mischief he has done to Thy people in Jerusalem;
14 Izi haa yiday ne sunththa xeeygizayta wurssi qachchanas qeessista halaqqatape godateth ekkiddikko.
and here he is authorized by the High Priests to arrest all 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," replied the Lord; "he is a chosen instrument of Mine to carry My name to the Gentiles and to kings and to the descendants of Israel.
16 Izi ta sunththa gish aymalla waaye beeyanako ta iza beesana” gides.
For I will let him know the great sufferings which he must pass through for My 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 went and entered the house; and, laying his two hands upon Saul, said, "Saul, brother, the Lord--even Jesus who appeared to you on your journey--has sent me, that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
18 Herakka Sawule ayfepe poqqo malay poqqeti wodhdhin Izi xeellana dandda7idesine denddi xamaqetides.
Instantly there dropped from his eyes what seemed to be scales, and he could see once more. Upon this he rose and received baptism;
19 Kaththika miiddi minnides. Unddena wode ammanizaytara Dammasqqon gammides.
after which he took food and regained his strength. Then he remained some little time with the disciples in Damascus.
20 Herakka Yesussay Xoossa na gididayssa Ayhudata wossa keethatan tammariso oykkides.
And in the synagogues he began at once to proclaim 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.
and his hearers were all amazed, and began to ask one another, "Is not this the man who in Jerusalem tried to exterminate those who called upon that Name, and came here on purpose to carry them off in chains to the High Priests?"
22 Sawuley kasepe minni minni bides. Damasqqon diza Ayhudatas Yesussay izi Xoossi kittidade gididaysa ammanthishe asa duuna oyththides.
Saul, however, gained more and more influence, and as for the Jews living in Damascus, he bewildered them with his proofs that Jesus is the Christ.
23 Daroo gaalassatape guye Ayhudatti Sawule wodhdhanas dulatida.
At length the Jews plotted to kill Saul;
24 Izikka istta qoofa errides. Isttikka iza wodhdhanas kaatama gelthiza ogen gaalassine qama nagiida.
but information of their intention was given to him. They even watched the gates, day and night, in order to murder him;
25 Ammaniizayti gidiiko iza gidothth kaatama gimbbe guththa lukoor xaysen duge wooththida.
but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a hamper.
26 Sawuley Yerusalame yiidi ammanizaytara wallakettana koyin isti izi tumu ammanizade gididayssa ammanetoontta gish izas babbida.
So he came to Jerusalem and made several attempts to associate with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, being in doubt as to whether he himself 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.
Barnabas, however, came to his assistance. He brought Saul to the Apostles, and related to them how, on his journey, he had seen the Lord, and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had fearlessly taught in the name of Jesus.
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,
29 Girikke derepe yida Ayhudistara hasa7ishe palameetides, gido attin asaykka iza wodhanas koydes.
and speaking fearlessly in the name of the Lord. And he often talked with the Hellenists and had discussions with them.
30 Ammanizayitti hessa erridi duge Qisariya gizaso woththidi Xarssesse yediida.
But they kept trying to take his life. On learning this, the brethren brought him down to Caesarea, and then sent him by sea 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.
The Church, however, throughout the whole of Judaea, Galilee and Samaria, had peace and was spiritually built up; and grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and receiving encouragement from the Holy Spirit.
32 Phixiroossay derepe deren yuyishshe Liida kataman diza ammanizayta beeyanas dugge wodhdhides.
Now Peter, as he went to town after town, came down also to God's people at Lud.
33 Heen Eena geetettizade osppun layththa hixxan qachchetida issi gundda assi demmides.
There he found a man of the name of Aeneas, who for eight years had kept his bed, through being paralysed.
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." He at once rose to his feet.
35 Liidanine Saroonan diza asay wuri iza beeyidi Godan ammanides.
And all the people of Lud 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 Jaffa was a woman called Tabitha, or, as the name may be translated, 'Dorcas.' Her life was wholly devoted to the good and charitable actions which she was constantly doing.
37 He wode iza harggada heyqqin asay aha mecci pude fooqqen kesii wothida.
But, as it happened, just at that time she was taken ill and died. After washing her body they laid it out in a room upstairs.
38 Liiday Yophphes maata gidida gish ammanizayti phixiroossay Liidan dizayssa siyddi namm7u asata kittidi “Elle ha yarkki” gi wossida.
Lud, however, being near Jaffa, the disciples, who had heard that Peter was at Lud, sent two men to him with an urgent request that he would come across to them without delay.
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 rose and went with them. On his arrival they took him upstairs, and the widow women all came and stood by his side, weeping and showing him the underclothing and cloaks and garments of all kinds 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.
Peter, however, putting every one out of the room, knelt down and prayed, and then turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, rise." Dorcas at once opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, sat up.
41 Izikka izi kushshe oykki denththides. Ammanizaytane ammi7ista xeeygidi izo istas paxxa shempora immidees.
Then, giving her his hand, he raised her to her feet and, calling to him God's people 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 Jaffa, and many believed in the Lord;
43 Phixiroossaykka issi simmona geetettiza galliba qaaccizadeera yophphen daroo wode deydees.
and Peter remained for a considerable time at Jaffa, staying at the house of a man called Simon, a tanner.
