Hawaareta Oosuwa 17
1 Phawuloosaranne Sillaasera Amfiphoolisaranne Apholoniyara aadhdhidi Teselonqe bidosona. Yan Ayhude Woosa Keethi de7ees.
Now when they had gone through Amphipolis and Apollonia they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Synagogue of the Jews:
2 Phawuloosi kaseyssada yaa gelis. Hessan heedzu saamintta Xoossaa qaalappe asaas odis.
And Paul, as he generally did, went in to them, and on three Sabbath days had discussions with them from the holy Writings,
3 Kiristtoosi waaye ekkanawunne hayqoppe denddanaw besseyssa enttaw qonccisidi odishe, “Yesuusi ha taani hinttew odeyssi Kiristtoosa” yaagis.
Saying to them clearly and openly that Christ had to be put to death and come back to life again; and that this Jesus, whom, he said, I am preaching to you, is the Christ.
4 Enttafe issoti issoti oday tuma gideyssa ma77idi Phawuloosaranne Sillaasera issifidosona. Hessadakka, Xoossaa goynniya daro Girike asaynne daro bonchchettida maccasatikka enttara issifidosona.
And some of them had faith, and were joined to Paul and Silas; and a number of the God-fearing Greeks, and some of the chief women.
5 Shin Ayhudeti qanaattidi issi issi oosoy baynna iita asata ogeppe shiishidosona. Kataman buqethi kessidosona; Phawuloosanne Sillaase asaas aathi immanaw koyidi Yaasona keethaa teqqidosona.
But the Jews, being moved with envy, took with them certain low persons from among the common people, and getting together a great number of people, made an outcry in the town, attacking the house of Jason with the purpose of taking them out to the people.
6 Phawuloosinne Sillaasi enttaw benttonna ixxin, Yaasonanne issi issi ammaneyssata katamaa halaqatakko goochchi efidi, “Hayssati biitta ubbaa buqeyssati ha77i nuukko yidosona.
And when they were not able to get them, they took Jason and some of the brothers by force before the rulers of the town, crying, These men, who have made trouble all over the world have now come here;
7 Yaasoni entta ba son wothis. Hayssati, ‘Yesuusa giya hara kawoy de7ees’ gidi Qeesara kiitaa menthosona” yaagidi dhoqqu gida qaalan odidosona.
Whom Jason has taken into his house: and they are acting against the orders of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
8 Shiiqida asaynne katamaa halaqati hessa si7idi hananabaa dhayidosona.
And hearing these things the people and the rulers of the town were troubled.
9 Halaqati Yaasonanne harata waasen birshshidosona.
And having made Jason and the others give an undertaking to keep the peace, they let them go.
10 Ammaneysati Phawuloosanne Sillaase qammara Beeriya yeddidosona. Beeriya gakkidi, Ayhude Woosa Keethi gelidosona.
And the brothers straight away sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea: and they, when they came there, went to the Synagogue of the Jews.
11 Beeriya asati Teselonqe asatappe aadhdhida suureta. Entti qaala kumetha wozanaappe ekkidosona; Phawuloosi gidayssi tuma gideyssa shaakki eranaw gallas gallas Geeshsha Gaxaafata xanna7oosona.
Now these were more noble than the Jews of Thessalonica, for they gave serious attention to the word, searching in the holy Writings every day, to see if these things were so.
12 Hessa gisho, enttafe daroti, Giriketappeka bonchchettida daro maccasatinne daro addeti ammanidosona.
And a number of them had faith, and no small number of the Greek women of high position and of the men.
13 Shin Teselonqen de7iya Ayhudeti Phawuloosi Xoossaa qaala Beeriyankka odidayssa si7ida wode Beeriya yidi asaa buqidosona.
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had news that Paul was preaching the word at Beroea, they came there, troubling the people and working them up.
14 Hessafe guye, ammaneyssati ellesidi Phawuloosa abbaa mati yeddidosona. Shin Sillaaseynne Ximotiyoosi Beeriyan attidosona.
So the brothers sent Paul straight away to the sea: but Silas and Timothy kept there still.
15 Phawuloosa moyzida asati Ateena gathidosona. He asati Sillaaseynne Ximotiyoosi banttaw dandda7ettida mela ellesidi baakko yaana mela Phawuloosi kiittida kiitaa ekkidi Beeriya simmidosona.
But those who went with Paul took him as far as Athens, and then went away, with orders from him to Silas and Timothy to come to him quickly.
16 Phawuloosi Ateenan Sillaasenne Ximotiyoosa naagishe, kataman eeqi kumidayssa be7idi yilotis.
Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was troubled, for he saw all the town full of images of the gods.
17 Hessa gisho, Ayhude Woosa Keethan Ayhudetaranne Xoossaa goynniya Ayhude gidonna asatara qassi baara gayttiya asatara ubba gallas palamees.
So he had discussions in the Synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, and every day in the market-place with those who were there.
18 Eppiqoroosanne Istoyke geetettiya cugetappe issi issi eranchchoti Phawuloosara palamidosona. Enttafe issoti issoti, “Ha yooyamay ay odanaw koyii?” yaagidosona. Harati Phawuloosi Yesuusabaanne hayqoppe I denddidayssa banttaw odida gisho, “Ooratha xoossatabaa odiya daanees” yaagidosona.
And some of those who were supporters of the theories of the Epicureans and the Stoics, had a meeting with him. And some said, What is this talker of foolish words saying? And others, He seems to be a preacher of strange gods: because he was preaching of Jesus and his coming back from the dead.
19 Phawuloosa oykkidi Aryoospaagosa giya shiiqo bessaa efidi, “Ha neeni tamaarssiya oorathabay aybeekko nuna erisikkii?
And they took him to Mars' Hill, saying, Will you make clear to us what is this new teaching of yours?
20 Ays giikko, neeni nuus oorathabaa odaasa; hiza hessi aybeekko nuuni eranaw koyoos” yaagidosona.
For you seem to us to say strange things, and we have a desire to get the sense of them.
21 Ateena asay ubbaynne hessan de7iya imathati oorathabaa odettonnanne si7onna pee7okkona.
(Now all the Athenians and the men from other lands who come there were giving all their time to talking or hearing of anything new.)
22 Phawuloosi Aryoospaagosa sinthan eqqidi, “Ateena asato, xoossatas ubbaban hintte daro yayyeyssa taani be7ays.
And Paul got to his feet on Mars' Hill and said, O men of Athens, I see that you are overmuch given to fear of the gods.
23 Taani hintte katamaara yuuyashe hintte goynniya bessata be7iya wode, ‘Erettonna Xoossaas’ geetetti xaafettida yarshsho bessaa demmas. Ha hintte eronnashin goynneyssa taani hinttew odays.
For when I came by, I was looking at the things to which you give worship, and I saw an altar with this writing on it, TO THE GOD OF WHOM THERE IS NO KNOWLEDGE. Now, what you, without knowledge, give worship to, I make clear to you.
24 Sa7aanne sa7an de7iya ubbabaa medhdhida Xoossay, saluwanne sa7aa Goday, asi keexida keethan deenna.
The God who made the earth and everything in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, is not housed in buildings made with hands;
25 I de7o, shempponne ubbabaa asa ubbaas immiya gisho paci de7iya asada asa maade koyenna.
And he is not dependent on the work of men's hands, as if he had need of anything, for he himself gives to all life and breath and all things;
26 Xoossay asa zerethi ubbaa issi addiyafe medhdhidi biitta ubban wothis. Yaatidi entti de7ana wodiyasinne bessaas zawa immis.
And he has made of one blood all the nations of men living on all the face of the earth, ordering their times and the limits of their lands,
27 I hessa oothiday asi iya koyana melanne pilggidi demmana melassa. Hanikkoka I nuuppe geemmibeenna.
So that they might make search for God, in order, if possible, to get knowledge of him and make discovery of him, though he is not far from every one of us:
28 Hinttefe issi issi yexxeyssati, ‘Nuuni iya nayta’ gidayssada, ‘Nuuni iyan paxa de7oos, qaaxoos.’
For in him we have life and motion and existence; as certain of your verse writers have said, For we are his offspring.
29 Hiza, nuuni Xoossaa nayta gidiya gisho, ‘Xoossay asa hiillatethaninne qofan worqqafe woykko birappe woykko shuchchafe oosettidabaa daanees’ yaagidi qoppanaw bessenna.
If then we are the offspring of God, it is not right for us to have the idea that God is like gold or silver or stone, formed by the art or design of man.
30 Hessa gisho, Xoossay kase wode asay eronna oothidayssa aggidi aadhdhis, shin ha77i ubbason de7iya asi ubbay nagaraappe simmana mela kiittees.
Those times when men had no knowledge were overlooked by God; but now he gives orders to all men in every place to undergo a change of heart:
31 Ays giikko, Xoossay ba doorida addiyan sa7an de7iya asa ubbaa bolla xillo pirdda pirddanaw qamma giigisi wothis. Iya hayqoppe denthidi hessa asa ubbaas tumayis” yaagis.
Because a day has been fixed in which all the world will be judged in righteousness by the man who has been marked out by him for this work; of which he has given a sign to all men by giving him back from the dead.
32 Enttafe issi issi asati hayqoppe denddobaa Phawuloosappe si7idi, iya bolla qelqisidosona. Shin harati, “Nuuni hessa neeppe gujjidi si7anaw koyoos” yaagidosona.
Now on hearing about the coming back from death, some of them made sport of it, but others said, Let us go more fully into this another time.
33 Hessa gisho, Phawuloosi entta giddofe keyis.
And so Paul went away from among them.
34 Shin issi issi addeti Phawuloosara gaakettidi ammanidosona. Entta giddofe Aryoospaagosan shiiquwan de7iya Diyonasyoos giya addey, Damarsso giya issi maccasiyanne harati de7oosona.
But some men gave him their support: among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
