Hawaareta Oosuwa 21
1 Nuuni Efesoona cimatappe shaakettida mela Qoose bida. Wonttetha gallas Rooda gakkidi yaappe Phaxara bida.
When, at last, we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran in a straight course to Cos; the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Finqqe pinniya markkabie demmidi iyan gelidi baanaw denddida.
Finding a ship bound for Phoenicia, we went on board and put to sea.
3 Nuuni Qoophirosa be7anaw dandda7iya soo yidi, Qoophirosa haddirssa bagga aggidi Sooriya bida. Markkabey ba caanaa yan wothanaw koyida gisho Xiiroosa bida.
After sighting Cyprus and leaving that island on our left, we continued our voyage to Syria and put in at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
4 Yan ammaniyaa asata demmidi enttara laappun gallas uttida. Phawuloosi Yerusalaame boonna mela entti iyaw Ayyaanan odidosona.
Having searched for the disciples and found them, we stayed at Tyre for seven days; and, taught by the Spirit, they repeatedly urged Paul not to proceed to Jerusalem.
5 Nuuni enttara uttiya wodey wurin keyidi bida. Entti ubbay bantta maccasataranne bantta naytara issife katamaappe kare kessidi nuna moyzidosona. Nuuni abbaa doonan gulbbatidi Xoossaa woossida.
When, however, our time was up, we left and went on our way, all the disciples and their wives and children coming to see us off. Then, after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
6 Hessafe guye, woli sarothidi nu markkabiyan gelida; entti bantta soo simmidosona.
we took leave of one another; and we went on board, while they returned home.
7 Nuuni abbaa ogiya onggidi, Xiiroosappe Phexelemaysa gakkida. Yan ammaniyaa asata sarothidi, entta matan issi gallas pee7ida.
As for us, our voyage was over when having sailed from Tyre we reached Ptolemais. here we inquired after the welfare of the brethren, and remained a day with them.
8 Wonttetha gallas keyidi, Qisaariya bida. Sabaakiya Filiphphoosa soo gakkidi iya matan uttida. I Yerusalaamen kase doorettida laappunatappe issuwa.
On the morrow we left Ptolemais and went on to Caesarea, where we came to the house of Philip the Evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 Filiphphoosas nabe gidida oyddu geela7o nayti de7oosona.
Now Philip had four unmarried daughters who were prophetesses;
10 Nuuni unddenna gallas yan uttidi de7ishin tinbbite odiya issi Agaboosa giya addey Yihudappe Qisaariya yis.
and during our somewhat lengthy stay a Prophet of the name of Agabus came down from Judaea.
11 Nuukko yidi Phawuloosa saqqiya ekkidi ba kushiyanne ba tohuwa qachchidi, “Geeshsha Ayyaanay ha saqqiya godaa, Yerusalaamen Ayhudeti hayssada qachchidi, Ayhude gidonna asaas aathidi immana yaagees” yaagis.
When he arrived he took Paul's loincloth, and bound his own feet and arms with it, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the owner of this loincloth, and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'"
12 Nuuni hessa si7ida wode nunne yan de7iya asati Phawuloosi Yerusalaame boonna mela woossida.
As soon as we heard these words, both we and the brethren at Caesarea entreated Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Shin Phawuloosi zaaridi, “Hintte hayssada yeekkishe ays ta wozanaa shugiseeti? Taani, Godaa Yesuusa sunthaa gisho qashetetha xalaala gidonnashin Yerusalaame hayqqanawukka giigettas” yaagis.
His reply was, "What can you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief? Why, as for me, I am ready not only to go to Jerusalem and be put in chains, but even to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus."
14 Nu zoriya I ekkenna ixxin, “Godaa sheney hano” yaagidi si7i gida.
So when he was not to be dissuaded, we ceased remonstrating with him and said, "The Lord's will be done!"
15 Yan guutha wode gam77idaappe guye giigettidi Yerusalaame baanaw keyida.
A few days afterwards we loaded our baggage-cattle and continued our journey to Jerusalem.
16 Qisaariyan de7iya ammaniyaa asatappe guuthati nuura bidosona. Entti nuuni shemppanasuwa Minaasona giya Qoophirosa addiya soo efidosona. Minaasoni koyro ammanida asaappe issuwa.
Some of the disciples from Caesarea also joined our party, and brought with them Mnason, a Cyprian, one of the early disciples, at whose house we were to lodge.
17 Nuuni Yerusalaame gakkida wode ammaniyaa asati nuna ufayssan mokkidosona.
At length we reached Jerusalem, and there the brethren gave us a hearty welcome.
18 Wonttetha gallas Phawuloosinne nuuni Yayqoobara gayttanaw bida. Woosa keethaa cimati ubbatikka yan de7oosona.
On the following day we went with Paul to call on James, and all the Elders of the Church came also.
19 Phawuloosi entta sarothidaappe guye Ayhude gidonna asaa giddon ba baggara Xoossay oothidabaa ubbaa enttaw odis.
After exchanging friendly greetings, Paul told in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his instrumentality.
20 Entti hessa si7ida wode Xoossaa galatidi Phawuloosakko hessada yaagidosona: “Nu ishaw, Ayhudeta giddon aappun mukulati Xoossaa ammanidaakko ne be7aasa; entti ubbayka higgiya minthi naagoosona.
And they, when they had heard his statement, gave the glory to God. Then they said, "You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of Jews there are among those who have accepted the faith, and they are all zealous upholders of the Law.
21 Neeni Ayhude gidonnayssata biittan de7iya Ayhude ubbay bantta nayta qaxxaronna mela, Ayhudeta wogaa kaallonna melanne Muse higgiya ixxana mela neeni tamaarsseyssa Yerusalaamen de7iya Ayhudeti si7idosona.
Now what they have been repeatedly told about you is that you teach all the Jews among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, and that you forbid them to circumcise their children or observe old-established customs.
22 Yaatin aybi lo77o? Neeni yidayssa daroti si7ana.
What then ought you to do? They are sure to hear that you have come to Jerusalem;
23 “Hessa gisho, nuuni new odeyssa si7a; gasoy de7iya oyddu asati nu matan de7oosona.
so do this which we now tell you. We have four men here who have a vow resting on them.
24 Entta ekkada enttara geeya; qassi entti bantta huu7iya meedettana mela enttaw miishe imma. Entti kase nebaa si7idayssi tuma gidonnayssanne neeni ne huu7enkka higge naagiya asi gideyssa ubbay erana.
Associate with these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads. Then everybody will know that there is no truth in these stories about you, but that in your own actions you yourself scrupulously obey the Law.
25 “Shin ammanida Ayhude gidonna asata gidikko, entti eeqas yarshshettidabaa moonna mela, suuthu uyonna mela, bawuta moonna melanne laymatonna mela, nuuni oda qachchidi, enttaw dabddaabbe xaafida” yaagidosona.
But as for the Gentiles who have accepted the faith, we have communicated to them our decision that they are carefully to abstain from anything sacrificed to an idol, from blood, from what is strangled, and from fornication."
26 Hessafe guye, Phawuloosi wonttetha gallas asata ekkidi, enttara geeyis. I bantta geeya gallasay awude polettiyakko erisanawunne bantta yarshshuwa awude yarshshaneekko erisanaw Xoossa Keethi gelis.
So Paul associated with the men; and the next day, having purified himself with them, he went into the Temple, giving every one to understand that the days of their purification were finished, and there he remained until the sacrifice for each of them was offered.
27 Laappun gallasay wurana hanishin, Iisiyappe yida Ayhudeti Xoossa Keethan Phawuloosa be7idi, asa ubbaa denthethidi Phawuloosa oykkidosona.
But, when the seven days were nearly over, the Jews from the province of Asia, having seen Paul in the Temple, set about rousing the fury of all the people against him.
28 “Isra7eele asaw, nuna maaddite; ha uray, nu deriya, nu higgiyanne ha Xoossa Keetha ixxana mela asa ubbaa tamaarssees. Hessika gidonna ixxin Ayhude gidonnayssata Xoossa Keethi gelssidi, ha geeshsha bessaa tunisis” yaagidi waassidosona.
They laid hands on him, crying out, "Men of Israel, help! help! This is the man who goes everywhere preaching to everybody against the Jewish people and the Law and this place. And besides, he has even brought Gentiles into the Temple and has desecrated this holy place."
29 Entti hessa giday kase Efesoona Xirofimoosa Phawuloosara kataman be7ida gisho ha77i Phawuloosi Xoossa keethi iya ekki gelidabaa enttaw daanis.
(For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and imagined that Paul had brought him into the Temple.)
30 Katama ubbay buqettis; asay ubbay shiiqidi Phawuloosa oykkidi Xoossa Keethafe kare goochchidosona. Xoossa Keethaa penggeti ellesidi gorddettidosona.
The excitement spread through the whole city, and the people rushed in crowds to the Temple, and there laid hold of Paul and began to drag him out; and the Temple gates were immediately closed.
31 Asay Phawuloosa wodhana hanishin, “Yerusalaame katamay kumethi buqettis” giya oday Roome shaalaqaakko gakkis.
But while they were trying to kill Paul, word was taken up to the Tribune in command of the battalion, that all Jerusalem was in a ferment.
32 Shaalaqay wotaaddaretanne mato halaqata ekkidi woxxishe yis. Asay shaalaqaanne wotaaddareta be7ida wode Phawuloosa wadhdheyssa aggaagidosona.
He instantly sent for a few soldiers and their officers, and came down among the people with all speed. At the sight of the Tribune and the troops they ceased beating Paul.
33 He wode shaalaqay shiiqidi, Phawuloosa oykkidi, nam77u santhalaatan qashettana mela kiittis. Yaatidi, I ooneekkonne ay oothidaakko asaa oychchis.
Then the Tribune, making his way to him, arrested him, and, having ordered him to be secured with two chains, proceeded to ask who he was and what he had been doing.
34 Asaappe baggay issibaa gidi waassiya wode, harati harabaa gidi waasses. Waasoy darida gisho, shaalaqay tumaa shaakkanw dandda7ettonna ixxin, wotaaddareti Phawuloosa bantta de7iyaso efana mela kiittis.
Some of the crowd shouted one accusation against Paul and some another, until, as the uproar made it impossible for the truth to be ascertained with certainty, the Tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
35 Phawuloosi yedhdhi keyaa dethaa gakkiya wode asaa sugethaa gisho wotaaddareti iya tookkidosona.
When Paul was going up the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob;
36 Daro asay, “I hayqqo!” yaagidi waassishe kaalloosona.
for the whole mass of the people pressed on in the rear, shouting, "Away with him!"
37 Wotaaddareti Phawuloosa bantta de7iyasuwa gelssana hanishin, Phawuloosi shaalaqaakko, “Taani new issibaa odo?” yaagis. I Phawuloosakko, “Neeni Girike doona eray?
When he was about to be taken into the barracks, Paul said to the Tribune, "May I speak to you?" "Do you know Greek?" the Tribune asked.
38 Neeni hayssafe sinthe buqethi medhdhidi shemppo wodhida oyddu mukulu asata ekkidi bazzo gelida Gibxe uraa gidikkii?” yaagis.
"Are you not the Egyptian who some years ago excited the riot of the 4,000 cut-throats, and led them out into the Desert?"
39 Shin Phawuloosi, “Taani, Kilqiyan de7iya erettida Terseese kataman yelettida Ayhude asi. Hayyana tana odisarkkii?” yaagis.
"I am a Jew," replied Paul, "belonging to Tarsus in Cilicia, and am a citizen of no unimportant city. Give me leave, I pray you, to speak to the people."
40 Shaalaqay iyaakko, “Oda” yaagin Phawuloosi dethaa bolla eqqidi, asay si7i gaana mela ba kushiyan mallis. Asay si7i gin Ibraysxe doonan hayssada yaagis:
So with his permission Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people to be quiet; and when there was perfect silence he addressed them in Hebrew.
