Hawaareta Oosuwa 10
1 Qisaariyan, “Xaale ola asata” geetettiya olanchchota giddon issi Qornneliyoosa geetettiya mato halaqay de7ees.
In Caesarea lived a man named Cornelius who was a Roman centurion of the Italian battalion.
2 Qornneliyoosi ba soo asaara Xoossaa minthi ammaniyaa asinne Xoossas goynniya asi. Ayhude manqotakka daro maaddees, qassi Xoossaa ubba wode woossees.
He was a religious man who, together with everyone in his household, had great reverence for God. He gave generously to the poor, and prayed regularly to God.
3 Issi gallas uddufun saate heeran Xoossaa kiitanchchoy iyaakko yidi, “Qornneliyoosaa” gidi xeegishin I qonccethan geeshshidi be7is.
At about 3 p.m. one day he had a vision in which he saw very clearly an angel of God who came to him and called to him, “Cornelius!”
4 Qornneliyoosi dagammidi kiitanchchuwa tishshi oothi xeellidi, “Godaw, I aybee?” yaagis. Kiitanchchoy zaaridi, “Ne woosaynne manqota ne maaddeyssi Xoossaa sinthan hassayettis.
Frightened, Cornelius stared at him and asked, “What do you want, Lord?” “God has paid attention to your prayers, and recognized your generosity to the poor,” he told Cornelius.
5 Ha77i Yoophe ase kiittada, Phexiroosa giya Simoona ehisa.
“Now send some men to Joppa, and fetch Simon, also called Peter,
6 Phexiroosi abbaa doonan galbba haashiya Simoona son imathatethi siiratis” yaagis.
who is staying at Simon the tanner's house down by the sea-shore.”
7 Qornneliyoosi baw odida kiitanchchoy bin, ba aylletappe nam77atanne Xoossaa goynniya ba mata wotaaddaretappe issuwa xeegidi,
When the angel who had spoken to him had left, Cornelius called in two of his house-servants and a soldier of his personal guard, a religious man.
8 enttaw ubbabaa odidi Yoophe kiittis.
After he'd explained to them all that had happened he sent them to Joppa.
9 Wonttetha gallas entti bidi, Yoophe katama matishin usuppun saate heeran Xoossaa woossanaw Phexiroosi pooqe bolla keys.
The next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up onto the top of the house to pray. It was about noon,
10 I koshattidi kathi maanaw koyis, shin kathi kaxishin I qonccethi be7is.
and he was getting hungry, wanting to eat. But while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance, and
11 Saloy dooyettin, gita afila daaniyabay oyddu baggara oykettidi wodhdhishin I be7is.
he saw heaven opened. He saw something coming down that looked like a large sheet held by its four corners, being lowered onto the earth.
12 Iyan oyddu tohora de7iya meheti, wora do7ati, ulora gooshettiya medhetethatinne salo kafoti ubbay de7ees.
Inside were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds.
13 He wode, “Phexiroosaa, dendda eqqada shukkada ma” giya qaalay iyaakko yis.
He heard a voice say, “Get up Peter, kill and eat!”
14 Shin Phexiroosi, “Godaw, akkay! Ta tunabaa ubbarakka ma erikke” yaagis.
But Peter replied, “Certainly not, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is impure and unclean.”
15 Qassi, “Xoossay geeshshidayssa neeni tuna gooppa” giya qaalay nam77antho iyaakko yis.
He heard the voice speak again, “Don't you call unclean what God has made clean!”
16 Hessika, heedzu toho hanidaappe guye he gita afila daaneyssi ellesidi pude salo ekettis.
This happened three times, and then the sheet was quickly taken back into heaven.
17 Phexiroosi ba be7ida qonccethaa birshshethay, “Ay gidanddeshsha?” gidi ba wozanan qoppishin, Qornneliyoosi kiittida asati Simoona soo oychchi demmidi karen eqqidosona.
While Peter was puzzling over what the vision he'd seen really meant, the men sent by Cornelius had found out where Simon's house was and were standing at the gate.
18 Bantta qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Phexiroosa geetettiya Simoona giya imathay hayssan de7ii?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
They called out, asking whether Simon, also called Peter, was staying there.
19 Phexiroosi qonccethan be7idabaa qofa bolla de7ishin, Geeshsha Ayyaanay iyaakko, “Hekko, heedzu asati nena koyoosona.
While Peter was still wondering about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Look, there are three men looking for you.
20 Denddada wodhdha, taani entta kiittida gisho sidhonna enttara ba” yaagis.
Get up, go downstairs, and go with them. Don't worry at all because I'm the one who sent them.”
21 Phexiroosi asatakko wodhdhidi, “Hintte koyey tana; ays yidetii?” yaagis.
So Peter went downstairs to meet the men. “I'm the one you're looking for,” he said. “Why are you here?”
22 Entti zaaridi, “Nuna mato halaqay Qornneliyoosi kiittis. I xillo, Xoossaa goynniya asinne Ayhude asa ubban daro bonchchettida asi. Qornneliyoosi, nena ba soo ehisidi qaala neeppe si7ana mela geeshsha kiitanchchoy iyaw odis” yaagidosona.
“We come from Cornelius, a good, religious man who has reverence for God and is widely respected among the Jewish people,” they replied. “A holy angel instructed him to send for you to come to his house so he can hear what you have to tell him.”
23 Phexiroosi asata soo gelssidi mokkis. Wonttetha gallas, denddidi enttara bis. Yoophe kataman de7iya ammaneyssatappe issoti issoti iyara issife bidosona.
So he invited them in and they stayed there. The next day he got up and left with them. Some of the brothers from Joppa went with them too.
24 Wonttetha gallas, Qisaariya gakkidosona. Qornneliyoosi ba dabbotanne ba mata laggeta issife xeegi shiishidi, Phexiroosa naagees.
The following day they arrived in Caesarea where Cornelius was waiting for them with his relatives and close friends whom he'd called together.
25 Phexiroosi soo gelana hanishin, Qornneliyoosi iyara gayttidi iya sinthan kunddidi iyaw goynnanaw koyis.
When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.
26 Shin Phexiroosi, “Dendda, takka ta huu7en ne mela ase” yaagidi iya denthis.
But Peter pulled him back up, telling him, “Stand up! I'm only a man!”
27 Phexiroosi Qornneliyoosara odettishe soo geliya wode daro asay shiiqidayssa demmis.
Peter spoke with Cornelius, and then went on in where he found many other people waiting for him.
28 I asaakko, “Ayhude asi hara derera issifanaw woykko gayttanaw woga gidonnayssa hintte ereeta. Shin taani oonakka tuna woykko geeshshi gidenna goonna mela Xoossay tana bessis.
He said to them, “You certainly know that it's not permitted for a Jew to be associated with or to visit foreigners. But God has shown me that it's not for me to call anyone impure or unclean.
29 Hessa gisho, hintte taakko kiittin ixoy baynna yas. Ha77i tana ays xeegisidaakko taw odite” yaagis.
That's why I came without any argument when I was sent for. So now I want to know the reason why you sent for me.”
30 Qornneliyoosi, “Taani hachchi oyddu gallasappe kase hanoode uddufun saate woosa woossishin, phooliya ma7o ma77ida asi ta sinthan eqqis.
“Four days ago, at about this time—three in the afternoon—I was praying in my house,” Cornelius explained. “Suddenly I saw a man standing in front of me, dressed in clothes that shone brightly.
31 I taakko, ‘Qornneliyoosa, Xoossay ne woosaa si7is, neeni manqota maaddidayssaka hassays.
He told me, ‘Cornelius, your prayers have been heard, and God has recognized your generosity to the poor.
32 Hiza, ase Yoophe kiittada, Simoon Phexiroosa geyssa xeegisa. Simoon Phexiroosi Simoona giya galbba haashiya uraa son abbaa doonan siiratis’ yaagis.
Send someone to Joppa for Simon Peter. He's staying at Simon the tanner's house, down by the sea-shore.’
33 Hessa gisho, taani neekko ellesada kiittas; ne lo77o yadasa. Hiza, Xoossay nena Kiittidaba ubbaa si7anaw ha77i nuuni ubbay hayssan Godaa sinthan de7oos” yaagis.
So immediately I sent for you, and it was good of you to come. That's why we're all here, meeting together before God, ready to hear everything the Lord has told you.”
34 Kaallidikka, Phexiroosi, “Xoossay asa som77o be7idi ase asappe shaakkenna.
Peter replied, “I'm totally convinced that God has no favorites.
35 Shin ase ubbaa oona gidikkoka baw yayyeyssanne xillo ooso ootheyssan Xoossay ufaytteyssa taani tuma akeekas.
In every nation God accepts those who respect him, and do what is good and right.
36 Xoossay, ubbaa Goda gidida Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara sarotethaa odishe ha Wonggelaa Isra7eele asaas kiittidayssa hintte ereeta.
You know the message he sent to Israel, sharing the good news of peace that comes from Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37 Yohaannisi xinqqatebaa Galiilan sabbakida wodiyappe doomidi Yihuda biitta ubbaa gakkanaw hanidabaa hintte ereeta.
You know that this good news spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee, following John's call to baptism.
38 Xoossay Naazirete Yesuusas Geeshsha Ayyaananne wolqqaa immis. Xoossay iyara de7iya gisho lo77obaa I oothishe Xalahe kushen haarettida ubbaa pathishe yuuyis.
It's about Jesus of Nazareth—how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went around doing good, healing all those who were under the devil's control, for God was with him.
39 “Ayhude biittaninne Yerusalaamen I oothida ubbabaas nuuni markkatta. Entti masqaliya bolla kaqqidi iya wodhidosona.
We can testify to all that he did in Judea and Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross.
40 Shin Xoossay heedzantho gallasan hayqoppe iya denthidi asaas qonccana mela oothis.
But God raised him back to life on the third day, and had him appear,
41 He qonccethay Xoossay koyro doorida markkatassafe attin asa ubbaas gidenna. I hayqoppe denddidaappe guye iyara midanne uyida.
not to everyone, but to those witnesses chosen by God—including us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 Xoossay Wonggelaa asaas nuuni odana melanne paxa de7eyssata bollanne hayqqidayssata bolla pirddanaw shuumettiday Yesuusa gideyssa markkattana mela nuna kiittis.
He gave us the responsibility of publicly telling this to the people, to testify that he is the one God chose as the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 Xoossay iya ammaniyaa ubbaa nagaray, iya sunthan atto geetetteyssa nabeti markkattoosona” yaagis.
He is the one all the prophets spoke about, that everyone who trusts in him will receive forgiveness through his name.”
44 Phexiroosi buroo he oda onggonnashin qaala si7iya ubbaa bolla Geeshsha Ayyaanay wodhdhis.
While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on all of them who were listening to the message.
45 Phexiroosara Yoophefe yida ammaniyaa qaxxarettida Ayhude ubbay, Ayhude gidonnayssati bolla Geeshsha Ayyaanay gukkida gisho malaalettidosona.
The Jewish believers who had come with Peter were astonished, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the foreigners.
46 Gaasoykka, entti dumma dumma doonan haasayishininne Xoossaa gitatethaa sabbishin si7idosona. He wode Phexiroosi zaaridi,
They heard them speaking in tongues, glorifying God.
47 “Hayssati qassi nu mela Geeshsha Ayyaana ekkidayssati xammaqettonna mela haathe digganay oonee?” yaagis.
Then Peter asked, “Is anybody going to prevent them being baptized in water, since they have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?”
48 Entti Yesuus Kiristtoosa sunthan xammaqettana mela entta kiittis. Hessafe guye, entti banttara guutha gallas uttana mela Phexiroosa woossidosona.
He gave orders for them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they pleaded with him to spend some time with them.
