Hawaareta Oosuwa 23
1 Phawuloosi shiiquwa caddi xeellidi, “Ta ishato, taani hachchi gakkanaw Xoossaa sinthan ta de7o ubban lo77o wozanan de7as” yaagis.
And Paul, looking steadfastly, at the High-council, said—Brethren! I, in all good conscience have used my citizenship for God until this day.
2 Kahine halaqay Hananey, Phawuloosa doonan baqqana mela iya matan eqqidayssata kiittis.
And, the High-priest, Ananias, ordered them that stood by him, to be smiting him on the mouth.
3 He wode Phawuloosi iyaakko, “La ha booqqinte tiyida goda daaneysso, Xoossay nena baqqana. Neeni ta bolla higgiyatho pirddanaw uttada de7ashe higgey baynna tana baqqana mela kiitay?” yaagis.
Then, Paul, unto him, said—God is about to be smiting thee, thou whited wall! Dost, thou, then sit to judge me according to the law, and, unlawfully, orderest me to be smitten?
4 Phawuloosa matan eqqidayssati iyaakko, “Ne Xoossaa kahine halaqaa cayay?” yaagidosona.
And, they who stood by, said—The High-priest of God, dost thou revile?
5 Phawuloosi, “Ta ishato, I kahine halaqa gididayssa taani erabiikke; ays giikko Xoossaa qaalan, ‘Ne deriya ayseyssa bolla iita qaala haasayoppa’ geetetti xaafettis” yaagis.
And Paul said—I was not aware, brethren, that he was high-priest; because it is written—Of a ruler of thy people, shalt thou not speak injuriously.
6 Shin Phawuloosi he bessan de7iya asaappe baggati Saduqaaweta, baggati Farisaaweta gideyssa be7idi, “Ta ishato, taani Farisaawenne Farisaawe na7a; ‘Hayqqidayssati hayqoppe denddana’ gada taani ufayssan naagiya gisho entti ta bolla pirddoosona” yaagidi odis.
But Paul, getting to know that, the one part, were Sadducees and, the other, Pharisees, began to cry aloud in the council—Brethren! I, am, a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: —Concerning a hope, even of a rising again of the dead, am I to be judged.
7 Phawuloosi hessa gida wode Farisaaweta giddoninne Saduqaaweta giddon ooshshi keyin shaakettidosona.
And, as this he was saying, there arose a dissension of the Pharisees and Sadducees; and rent asunder was the throng.
8 Ays giikko, Saduqaaweti, “Hayqqida asi denddenna; kiitanchchoyka ayyaanikka baawa” yaagosona. Shin Farisaaweti nam77ayka de7eyssa ammanoosona.
For, Sadducees, say, there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, whereas, Pharisees, confess them both.
9 Gita kachchi keyis; Farisaaweta bagga gidida higge asttamaareti denddi eqqidi, “Ha uraa bolla aybi balakka demmibookko; iyaw ayyaani woykko kiitanchchoy haasayonna aggenna” yaagidi palamidosona.
And there arose a great outcry, and certain of the Scribes of the party of the Pharisees, standing up, began to strive, saying—Nothing bad, find we in this man; —but, if a spirit hath spoken unto him, or a messenger…
10 Ooshshay darin asay Phawuloosa shaqerethonna mela gidi, shaalaqay ba wotaaddareti wodhdhidi entta giddofe iya ellesi kessidi bantta de7iyasuwa efana mela kiittis.
And, great dissension arising, the captain, fearing lest Paul would be torn in pieces by them, ordered the troop to go down, and take him by force out of their midst, to bring him into the castle.
11 He qamma Goday Phawuloosa matan eqqidi, “Phawloosaa, neeni taw Yerusalaamen markkattidaysada Roomenkka markkattanaw bessees; minna; aykkoy baawa” yaagis.
But, on the following night, the Lord, standing over him, said—Be of good courage! for, as thou hast fully borne witness of the things concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou, in Rome also, bear witness.
12 Wonttetha gallas Ayhudeti, “Phawuloosa wodhonna de7ishe mookko uyokko” gidi caaqqidosona.
And, when it became day, the Jews, forming a conspiracy, bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had slain Paul.
13 Phawuloosa bolla hessa maqettida asati oytamappe daroosona.
And they were, more than forty, who, this sworn-confederacy, had formed.
14 Entti kahine halaqatakkonne deriya cimatakko bidi, “Nuuni Phawuloosa wodhonna de7ishe kathi giyabaa mookko gidi caaqettida.
And they went unto the High-priests and Elders, and said—With a curse have we bound ourselves, to taste, nothing, until we have slain Paul.
15 Hiza, hinttenne shanggoy iyabaa geeshshidi pilggiyabay de7iya daanisidi, Phawuloosa hintteko ehana mela shaalaqaa oychchite. Nuuni I ha shiiquwa gakkanaappe sinthe iya wodhanaw giigidi uttida” yaagidosona.
Now, therefore, do, ye, with the High-council, make it appear unto the captain, that he should bring him down unto you, as though about to ascertain more exactly the things that concern him; and, we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16 Shin Phawuloosa michche na7ay he maqquwa si7ida wode, bidi wotaaddareti de7iyasuwa gelidi, Phawuloosas odis.
But Paul’s sister’s son hearing of the lying-in-wait, happening to be near, and coming into the castle, —reported it unto Paul.
17 Phawuloosi mato halaqatappe issuwa xeegidi, “Ha na7ay shaalaqas odiyabay de7iya gisho iya shalaqaakko efa” yaagis.
And Paul, calling unto him one of the centurions, said—This young man, lead thou away unto the captain, for he hath somewhat to report unto him.
18 Mato halaqay na7aa shaalaqaakko efidi, “Qasho keethan de7iya Phawuloosi tana baakko xeegidi, ha na7ay new odiyabay de7iya gisho, iya neekko ehana mela tana woossis” yaagis.
He, therefore, taking him with him, brought him unto the captain, and saith—The prisoner Paul, calling me unto him, requested me to bring this young man unto thee, as having somewhat to tell thee.
19 Shaalaqay na7aa kushiya oykkidi, dumma kare kessidi, “Neeni taw odanabay aybe?” yaagidi oychchis.
And the captain, taking him by the hand, and going aside, began, privately, to ask—What is it which thou hast to report unto me?
20 Na7ay shaalaqaakko, “Ayhudeti Phawuloosabaa kaseppe minthi pilgganaw koyidabaa daanisidi neeni wontto iya shiiquwa ehana mela nena woossanaw zoretaa qachchidosona.
And he said—The Jews, have agreed to request thee, that, to-morrow, thou wouldst bring, Paul, down into the High-council, as though about to ascertain something, more exact, concerning him.
21 Shin neeni entti giyabaa si7oppa. Ays giikko, oytamappe dariya asati Phawuloosa wodhonna de7ishe ‘Kathi mookko, haathe uyokko’ gidi caaqettidi, qosettidi iya naagoosona. Ha77i ne giyabaa xalaala si7anaw naagoosona” yaagis.
Thou, therefore, do not be persuaded by them, for there are lying in wait for him, from among them, more than forty men, —who, indeed, have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor drink, till they have killed him; and, now, are they ready, awaiting the promise, from thee.
22 Shaalaqay zaaridi, “Ha oda ne taw odidayssa hara oodeskka odoppa” yaagidi kiittidi na7aa guye yeddis.
the captain, therefore, dismissed the young man, charging him—Unto no one, divulge thou, that, these things, thou hast shewed unto me.
23 Shaalaqay mato halaqatappe nam77ata xeegidi, “Qammafe heedzu saaten Qisaariya baanaw, nam77u xeetu wotaaddareta, laappun tammu para asatanne nam77u xeetu tooranchchota giigisite.
And calling certain two of the centurions he said—Make ye ready two hundred soldiers, that they may journey as far as Caesarea, —and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, by the third hour of the night;
24 Deriya aysiya Filkkisakko Phawuloosa saro gathanaw toga mehe giigisite” yaagidi entta kiittis.
beasts also provide, in order that, seating Paul thereon, they may bring him safely through unto Felix the governor.
25 Shaalaqay Filkisas hessada giya dabddaabbiya xaafis:
And he wrote a letter, after this form: —
26 “Qalawudiyoosa Luusiyosappe deriya aysiya bonchcho Filkkisas, saroy new gido.
Claudius Lysias, unto the most excellent governor Felix, Joy!
27 Ayhudeti ha uraa oykkidi wodhana hanishin, I Roome biitta asi gidoyssa erada wotaaddaretara gakkada iya ashshas.
This man, having been apprehended by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I went down with the troop, and rescued; having learned that he was, a Roman.
28 Entti iya ays mootiyakko eranaw koyada entta shiiquwan iya shiishas.
And, being minded to find out the cause for which they were accusing him, [I took him down into their High-council],
29 Entti bantta higgiyas iya mootidayssafe attin iya wodhisiyabaa woykko qashisiyabaa gidonnayssa ta demmas.
whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law, but, of nothing worthy of death or bonds, to be charged.
30 Entti ha uraa bolla maqettida zigirssay tana gakkin, taani ellesada iya neekko yeddas. Iya mooteyssati ne sinthan bidi mootana mela kiittas” yaagis.
But, when I was informed there would be a plot against the man, forthwith, I sent him unto thee, charging, his accusers also, to be speaking against him before thee.
31 Hessa gisho, wotaaddareti kiitettidayssada Phawuloosa ekkidi, qamma Antiphaxirisa gathidosona.
So the soldiers, according to their orders, taking up Paul, brought him by night unto Antipatris;
32 Wonttetha gallas para asati iyara baana mela oothidi toho asati guye simmidosona.
and, on the morrow, leaving the horsemen to go on with him, returned to the castle, —
33 Togay Qisaariya gakkidi dabddaabbiya deriya ayseyssas immidi, Phawuloosa iya sinthe aathidosona.
and the others, entering into Caesarea, and delivering the letter unto the governor, set, Paul also, before him.
34 Deriya ayseyssi dabddaabbiya nabbabidaappe guye, “Phawuloosa, ne aw awuraajja asee?” gidi iya oychchis. I Kilqiya asi gidoyssa erida wode,
And, when he had read it, and asked out of what province he was, and learned that he was from Cilicia,
35 “Taani nebaa nena mooteyssati yaa wode si7ana” yaagis. Wotaaddareti Phawuloosa Heroodisa keethan naagana mela kiittis.
I myself will hear thee in full, said he, whensoever, thine accusers also, are come; and gave orders that, in the palace of Herod, he should be kept under guard.
