Kitetidayta Ootho 1
1 Tofilosa, Yesussay oothanasine tammarissanas oykidayssa wursia ta nes koyro maxaafan xaafadis.
THE former treatise, Theophilus, I composed, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 Hessika izi pude denththa gaalas gakkanaas ba doorida kitidaytas xiillo ayana baggara izi isttas immida azazoko.
until that day, when having given a charge to his apostles through the Holy Ghost, whom he had chosen, he was taken up:
3 Izi daro waye be7idappe guye istakko shiqidi hayqope denddanayssa haytannitas daroo markkara qonccisishe oydu tamu gaalas gakkanaas isttas gaalas galas beetishe Xoossa kawootetha gish yootides.
to whom also he had shewed himself alive, after he had suffered, by many infallible proofs, during forty days being frequently seen by them, and speaking of the things which relate to the kingdom of God:
4 Isttara isife maadan uttidishe istta hizzgi azazides “Yerussalamepe kezoppite, gido attin ta intes yootishin inte siydayssa ta aaway immida uhaaththaayssa naagitte.
and assembling them together, commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye have heard from me.
5 Yanissay haththan xaamaqqides shin inte qass guuththa wodeppe guye xiillo ayanan xammaqistana.
For John indeed baptised with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost not many days after the present.
6 Isttika issibolla shiqetti uttidishe “Godo! isiraelista kawootethi zaarada hai essane?” gi oychchida.
They then accordingly assembling together, asked him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time reestablish the kingdom of Israel?
7 Izika isttas “aaway ba sheenen woththida wode errooy intes immetibeeyna.
But he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times and the seasons, which the Father hath reserved under his own authority.
8 Gido attin xiillo Ayanay inte bolla wodhdhida wode inte wolliiqa ekkana, Yerussalamenika Yudanika Sammariyanika wursoson biita gaxxa gakkanaas inte tas markkata gidana” gides.
But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses for me, both in Jerusalem, and throughout all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the extremity of the earth.
9 Hessa gi yootidape guye istti xeellishin pude salo denddides, salo sharayika istta ayfepe iza genththides.
And as he was speaking these things, while they were looking upon him, he was taken up; and a cloud enveloping him hid him from their eyes.
10 Izi biishin istti iza tish histi pude salo xeelishin booththa mayo mayida namm7u asati qoponnita istta achchan eqqidi;
And as they looked up earnestly into the heaven, while he was passing, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 “inteno Galila asato! inte pude salo xeellishe hayssan aazas eqqidetii? Haysi inte maatappe pude salo dennidishin inte beeyza Yesussay salo keezishin inte beeyda mala hessaththoka izi simmi yaana” gida.
who also said to them, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in the same manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12 Hessafe guye Dabirezayite giza zumma bollafe wodhdhid Yerusalame simmida, he zummayka yerussalameppe issi killo mittire mala hakkes.
Then they returned unto Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, about a sabbath-day’s journey distant.
13 Gede kaatamayo gellida wode kase ba diza keeththa fooqe bolla keziida, heyttikka Phixxirossa, Yanissa, Yaqoobe, Inddarassa, Philliphossa, Toomassa, Barttelomossa, Matossa, Illifossa na Yaqoobe, ba bagga maddizade geetettiza Simmonane yaqoobe na Yuuda.
And when they had arrived, they went up to an upper room, where abode Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealous, and Jude brother to James.
14 Heyti wurikka maccashatappe Yesussa aayoo marammira hessathokka iza ishshatara issi wozinnan issi bolla qanxxontta minni woossida.
These all persevered unanimously in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 He gaallasatan Phixxirossay xeistane namm7u tammu ammaniza asa giidon eqqiddi.
And in those days arose Peter in the midst of the disciples, and said, (there was a number of persons together, about an hundred and twenty, )
16 Hizzgides “ta ishshato! Yesussa oykkida asata kaalleth oyththida, yuda gish xiillo ayanay kassetidi dawute dunnan hasa7iida geesha maxaafa qaalay polistanas koshiza gishiko.
Men and brethren, it must needs be that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost delivered before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the conductor of those who seized on Jesus.
17 Izikka nuuppe issade mala taybeettidi hayssa ha oosozan gellanas exxa demmides.
For he was reckoned of our number, and had obtained an appointment to this ministry.
18 Shin hayssadey ba iitta ooson demmida miishshan gade shammides. Hennikka ba liiphon gufanni kunnidin iza asatathay giidofe phalliqeti wodhdhides; iza maraccey biita bolla zazetides.
This man indeed accordingly purchased a spot of ground with the wages of iniquity; and projected forward, he burst in the midst, and all his bowels fell out.
19 Hesikka yerussalamen diza asas wursios siyetides. Biitaykka istta qaalara “akeelidama” geetetides; Birishechayika suththa biita gusa.
And it was a fact known to all who dwelt at Jerusalem; so that this field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, The field of blood.
20 Gujjidikka Phixxirossay “mazzimmure maaxaafan (iza biittay mela atto, iza biittan assi doopo qassekka iza dannatethi hara assi eekko) geeteti xaafetides.
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let there be no man to dwell in it: and his office, as bishop, let another take.
21 Hessa gish Goda Yesusay nunara diza wode wurson nunara isife dizayta gidofe nu issade dorannas koshshes.
Wherefore from among the men who have associated with us always during the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Hesikka Yanisa xiinqqateppe ha simmin Yesussay nuppe shakeetidi dendi bana gakkanaas nunara dizade gidannas beeses. Gasoykka ha asatappe issadey nunara Yesussa denththas markka gidana koshshes” gides.
beginning from his baptism by John, until the day in which he was taken up from us, must there be chosen with us a witness of his resurrection, even one of these.
23 Hessa gish Barissabasa woykko Yosixxossa geetettiza Yosehaaththaonne Matiyassa namm7ata shishshidi;
So they appointed two persons, Joseph called Barsabas, whose sirname was Justus, and Matthias.
24 Hizzgi wossida “Godo! Ne asa wurso wozina errassa, hayta namm7ata giidofe ne oona doridakko issade nuna beessa.
And joining in prayer, they said, Do thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, point out the one of these two which thou hast chosen,
25 Yuuday yeggi bidason ha ooththa ooththanadene haware gidanade ne doora” gida.
to take a part in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, to go to his own place.
26 Hessafe exxa yeggin exxay Maatiyassas keezides. Izikka taammane issi hawaristara isife tayibeetides.
And they drew lots for them and the lot fell to Matthias and he was by unanimous suffrage numbered with the eleven apostles.
