Hawaareta Oosuwa 14
1 Kaseyssadakka, Phawuloosinne Barnnabaasi Iqooniyonen Ayhudeta woosa keethi gelidi daro Ayhudetinne Ayhude gidonnayssati ammanana gakkanaw qaala odidosona.
At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish meeting place and spoke very convincingly [about the Lord Jesus]. As a result, many Jews and also non-Jews believed [in Jesus].
2 Shin ammaniboonna Ayhudeti, Ayhude gidonnayssata wozanaa laammidi ishata bolla denthethidosona.
But [some of] the Jews refused to believe [that message, and] told the non-Jews not to believe it. They told the non-Jewish people that the message [about Jesus] was not true. As a result, [some of] the non-Jews became angry towards the believers [there].
3 Hawaareti yan daro wodiya gam77idosona. Entti yayyonna Godaabaa odidosona. Goday malaatatanne oorathabaa entti oothana mela enttaw maata immidi ba aadho keehatethaa qaalay tuma gideyssa qonccisis.
So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there speaking boldly for the Lord, and the Lord Jesus enabled them to do many miracles. In this way he showed [people] that the message about how the Lord saves us in a way that we do not deserve is true.
4 Shin he katamaa asay shaakettidi, baggay Ayhudetara baggay qassi Hawaaretara gidis.
The people [who lived] in [Iconium] city strongly disagreed with each other [concerning the message about Jesus]. Some of them agreed with the Jews [SYN] [who did not believe that message]. Others agreed with Paul and Barnabas.
5 Ayhude gidonnayssatinne Ayhudeti bantta halaqatara issife gididi hawaareta qohanawunne shuchchan caddanaw koyidosona.
Then the non-Jewish people and the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] [who opposed those two] talked among themselves about how they could mistreat them. Some of the important men in that city agreed to help them. Together, they decided that they would [kill Paul and Barnabas by] throwing stones at them.
6 Hawaareti hessa eridi, Lisxiranne Darbbe giya Liqaa7oniya katamatanne entta heeran de7iya biittaa baqatidosona.
But Paul and Barnabas heard about that, so they quickly went away to Lycaonia [district. They went] to Lystra and Derbe [cities in that district] and to the area surrounding [those cities].
7 Yan Wonggelaa odidosona.
[While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].
8 Yelettoosappe doomidi nam77u tohoy wobbin hamuti eronna issi addey Lisxiran de7ees.
[Once while Paul was preaching to people] in Lystra, a man was sitting there who was crippled in his legs. When [his mother] bore him he had crippled legs, so he was never able to walk.
9 He addey Phawuloosi odishin uttidi si7ees. Phawuloosi iya tishshi oothi xeelliya wode paxanaw iyaw ammanoy de7eyssa be7idi,
He listened as Paul was speaking [about the Lord Jesus]. Paul looked directly at him and could see [in the man’s face] that he believed that [the Lord Jesus] could make him well.
10 ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Sitti gada ne tohuwan eqqa” yaagis. Yaatin, guppi denddi eqqidi hamuthi doomis.
So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].
11 Phawuloosi oothidayssa asay be7idi bantta qaala dhoqqu oothidi Liqaa7oniya doonan, “Xoossati ase daanidi nuukko wodhdhidosona” yaagidosona.
When the crowd saw what Paul had done, [they thought that Paul and Barnabas] [were/must be]) [the gods that they worshipped]. So they shouted [excitedly] in their [own] Lycaonia language, “[Look! These people are] the gods [that we(inc) worship! They] made themselves look like people and have come down [from the sky/heaven to help us]!”
12 Barnnabaasa, “Diya” gidi, Phawuloosi haasayan waannatiya gisho iya, “Hermmeesa” gidi sunthidosona.
They began to say that Barnabas was [probably the chief god, whose name was]. And [they began to say that] Paul was Hermes, [the messenger/spokesman for the other gods. They mistakenly thought that] because Paul was the one who had been speaking.
13 Katamaappe gaxan de7iya eeqaa Diya keethaa kahineynne asay kormmatanne alleeqo ciishshata hawaaretas yarshshanaw koyidi katamaa pengge ehidosona.
Just outside [the gates of] the city there was a temple [where the people worshipped Zeus. The priest who was there heard what Paul and Barnabas had done, so he came] to the city gate, where many people had already gathered. He brought [two] bulls with wreaths [of flowers around their necks]. The priest and the other people wanted to kill the bulls [as part of a ceremony] to worship Paul and Barnabas.
14 Shin Barnnabaasinne Phawuloosi hessa si7ida wode entti oothanaw qoppidayssa ixxidi bantta ma7uwa peedhidosona. Asaa giddo woxxi gelidi,
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard about that, [and understood that the people thought that they were gods and wanted to sacrifice the bulls to worship them], they [were very distressed], so they tore their own clothes. They rushed among the people, shouting,
15 bantta qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Asaw, hayssa ays ootheetii? Nukka hintte mela ase. Ha pathonnabaappe saluwanne sa7aa, abbaanne entta giddon de7iya ubbabaa medhdhida de7o Xoossaakko hintte simmana mela hinttew nuuni Wonggelaa odoos.
“Men, (you must not kill those bulls [to worship us(dl)!]/why are you doing this?) [RHQ] [We are not gods]! We are just human beings like you! We have come to tell you some good news! [We have come to tell you about] God who is all-powerful. He wants you to stop worshipping other gods, because they cannot help you. This true God made the heaven/sky and the earth and the oceans and everything in it.
16 I beni asaa bantta ogiya baana mela yeddi aggis.
In the past, all of you non-Jewish people [worshipped whatever gods that you wanted to]. God let you worship them, [because you did not know him].
17 Shin iraa saluwappe bukisis, kathaaka wodiyan wodiyan immis, kathi immidi hinttena daro ufayssis, yaatidi hinttew lo77obaa oothidi baw markka dhayssibeenna” yaagidosona.
But he has shown us [LIT] [that] he acts kindly [toward us(inc)]. He is the one who causes it to rain and causes crops to grow. He is the one who gives you plenty of food, and makes you very happy.”
18 Hawaareti hessa gidi banttaw asay yarshshonna mela waayidi diggidosona.
The people heard what [Paul] said, but they still thought that they should sacrifice those bulls to worship Paul and Barnabas. [But finally, the people decided not to do it].
19 Anxookiyappenne Iqooniyoneppe yida Ayhudeti, asaa bantta bagga zaaridi shuchchan Phawuloosa caddidosona. Enttaw I hayqqidabaa daanin katamaappe gaxa goochchi efidi yeggidosona.
[However], after that, some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded many of the people of Lystra [that the message Paul had been telling them] was not true. The people [who believed what those Jews said became angry with Paul. They let the Jews] throw stones at him [until he fell down, unconscious]. They [all] thought that he was dead, so they dragged him outside the city [and left him lying there]. But some of the believers [in Lystra had followed them outside the city].
20 Shin ammaneysati yidi, iya yuushuwan eqqidashin I denddidi katamaa gelis. Wonttetha gallas Barnnabaasara issife Darbbe bis.
They came and stood around Paul, [where he was lying on the ground]. And Paul [became conscious! He] stood up and went back into the city [with the believers]. Acts 14:20b-23 The next day, Paul and Barnabas [left Lystra and] traveled to Derbe.
21 Entti Darbbe kataman Wonggelaa odidi darota ammanthidaappe guye Lisxira, Iqooniyonenne Phisdiya Anxookiya simmidosona.
They [stayed there several days and they kept telling] the people the good message [about Jesus]. Many people became believers. After that, Paul and Barnabas [started on their way back. They] went again to Lystra. [Then they went from there] to Iconium, and [then they went] to Antioch [in Pisidia province].
22 Yan ammaneyssata minthethishenne entti ammanon minnidi de7ana mela zorishe, “Xoossaa kawotethaa gelanaw nuuni daro waaye ekkanaw bessees” yaagidi tamaarssidosona.
[In each city], they helped the believers [SYN] to become strong [spiritually], and they urged them to keep on trusting in [the Lord Jesus]. They told [the believers], “It is necessary that [we endure] people often persecuting us [(inc)] before we enter the place where God will rule [over us forever].”
23 Qassi woosa keethatas huu7en huu7en cimata dooridosona. Xoomidaappenne woossidaappe guye entti ammanida Godaas entta hadara immidosona.
Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders for each congregation. [And before Paul and Barnabas left each town, they gathered the believers together and spent some time] praying and (fasting/not eating any food). Then Paul and Barnabas entrusted the [leaders and other believers] to the Lord [Jesus], in whom they had believed, [in order that he would care for them].
24 Phisidiya biittaa kanthidi aadhdhidi Phinfiliya bidosona.
After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].
25 Pherggen qaala odidaappe guye Axaaliya bidosona.
[In that district], they [arrived] at Perga and preached God’s message [about the Lord Jesus to the people there. Then] they went down [to the seacoast] at Attalia.
26 Axaaliyappe entti bantta polida oosuwas Xoossaa aadho keehatethaas entta hadara immida Anxookiya markkaben simmidosona.
There they got on a ship and went back to Antioch [in Syria province]. That was the place where Paul and Barnabas had been appointed {where [believers] had sent Paul and Barnabas} to go [to other places] and preach. [Antioch was the place where the believers] had asked God to kindly help Paul and Barnabas in the work that they had now completed.
27 Anxookiya gakkida wode woosa keethaa asaa shiishidi Xoossay enttara oothida oosuwa ubbaanne Ayhude gidonna asay ammanana mela enttaw waati pengge dooyidaako odidosona.
When they arrived in Antioch, they called the believers together. Then Paul and Barnabas told them all that God had helped them to do. [Specifically, they told them how God] had enabled [IDM] [many] non-Jewish people to believe [in Jesus].
28 Hessan ammaneyssatara daro wode gam77idosona.
Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.
