Hawaareta Oosuwa 24
1 Ichchashu gallasappe guye kahine halaqay Hananey, cimataranne Xerxeluusa giya issi xabaqaara Qisaariya bis. Entti deriya ayseyssa bolla Phawuloosa mootidosona.
And after five days came down the high priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator called Tertullus, and laid their informations against Paul before the governor.
2 Phawuloosi xeegettidi gelida wode, Xerxeluusi iya hayssada yaagidi mootis: “Bonchcho Filkkisa, nuuni ne baggara daro sarotethaa demmida, ne lo77o aysuwan nu biittay daro laamettis.
And he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse, saying, Seeing we enjoy great peace through thee, and that excellent measures are executed for this nation by thy forethought,
3 Bonchcho Filkkisa, nuuni awunkka awude gidin daro galatan hessa ekkoos.
we receive [it] always and everywhere, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Taani nena gam77isonnashin neeni ne keehatethan nubaa qanthan si7ana mela nena woossays.
But that I may not too much intrude on thy time, I beseech thee to hear us briefly in thy kindness.
5 Ha uray dhube gididi biitta ubban de7iya Ayhudeta giddon buqethi medhdhidi Naaziraweta bagga asaa kaaletheyssa gidoyssa erida.
For finding this man a pest, and moving sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a leader of the sect of the Nazaraeans;
6 Hari attoshin, Xoossa Keetha tunisana hanishin nuuni iya oykkida; nu higgiyada iya bolla pirddanaw qoppida.
who also attempted to profane the temple; whom we also had seized, [and would have judged according to our law;
7 Shin shaalaqaa Luusiyosi yidi, wolqqan nu kusheppe iya wothi ekkis.
but Lysias, the chiliarch, coming up, took [him] away with great force out of our hands,
8 Iya mooteyssatikka neekko yaana mela kiittis. Neeni ne huu7en ha uraa filggada nuuni iya mootiya mootuwa ubbaa eranaw dandda7aasa” yaagis.
having commanded his accusers to come to thee; ] of whom thou canst thyself, in examining [him], know the certainty of all these things of which we accuse him.
9 Ayhudetikka, “Ha oday tuma” gidi iya qofaa ma77idosona.
And the Jews also joined in pressing the matter against [Paul], saying that these things were so.
10 Deriya ayseyssi Phawuloosa oda gidi mallis. Phawuloosi hayssada gidi zaaris: “Neeni daro wodeppe doomada, ha asaas pirddashe de7eyssa erada ta odas ufayssan zaaro immays.
But Paul, the governor having beckoned to him to speak, answered, Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge to this nation, I answer readily as to the things which concern myself.
11 Taani Yerusalaame goynnanaw keyin tammanne nam77u gallasappe aadhdhonnayssa neeni ne huu7en eranaw dandda7aasa.
As thou mayest know that there are not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem,
12 Ayhudeti tana Xoossaa Keethan gidin Ayhude Woosa Keethan gidin kataman gidin ooderakka palamishin woykko asa shiishada maqqishin issi asikka demmibeenna.
and neither in the temple did they find me discoursing to any one, or making any tumultuous gathering together of the crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;
13 Ha77ika entti tana mootiyabaas markka demmanaw dandda7okkona.
neither can they make good the things of which they now accuse me.
14 “Shin taani hayssa issibaa ammanays; taani higgen de7iyabaanne nabeti xaafida ubbabaa ammanada, nu aawata Xoossaa, entti worddo giya ogiyan goynnays.
But this I avow to thee, that in the way which they call sect, so I serve my fathers' God, believing all things which are written throughout the law, and in the prophets;
15 Entti bantta huu7en ammaneyssa mela xillotinne nagaranchchoti hayqoppe denddanayssa takka ammanays.
having hope towards God, which they themselves also receive, that there is to be a resurrection both of just and unjust.
16 Hessa gisho, taani Xoossaa sinthaninne asaa sinthan ubba wode lo77o kahi taw daana mela minnays.
For this cause I also exercise [myself] to have in everything a conscience without offence towards God and men.
17 “Taani Yerusalaameppe keyoosappe daro laythafe guye ta biittaa manqotas maade immanawunne yarshsho yarshshanaw Yerusalaame bas.
And after a lapse of many years I arrived, bringing alms to my nation, and offerings.
18 Taani Xoossa Keethan hessa oothada geeshsha wogaa pola simmin tana demmidosona. He wode taara asi baawa, ooshshikka keyibeenna.
Whereupon they found me purified in the temple, with neither crowd nor tumult. But it was certain Jews from Asia,
19 Shin Iisiyappe yida issi issi Ayhudeti hessan de7oosona; entti ta bolla oda koykko yidi tana ne bolla mootanaw dandda7osona.
who ought to appear before thee and accuse, if they have anything against me;
20 Woykko taani shangguwa sinthe shiiqida wode oothida bali de7ikko hayssati ne sinthan de7eyssati odonna.
or let these themselves say what wrong they found in me when I stood before the council,
21 Taani entta giddon eqqada, ‘Hayqqidayssati denddana gada waassada odida gisho hachchi hintte sinthan ta bolla pirddoosona’ gas; hessafe harabaa oothabikke” yaagis.
[other] than concerning this one voice which I cried standing amongst them: I am judged this day by you touching [the] resurrection of [the] dead.
22 Shin Filkkisi Xoossaa ogiyabaa geeshshi erida gisho, “Taani hintte oda shaalaqaa Luusiyosi yaa wode pirddana” yaagidi moyzis.
And Felix, knowing accurately the things concerning the way, adjourned them, saying, When Lysias the chiliarch is come down I will determine your affair;
23 Filkkisi qassi Phawuloosa qachchonna naagana melanne iya dabbotappe oonikka iya oychchanaw yishin diggonna mela mato halaqaa kiittis.
ordering the centurion to keep him, and that he should have freedom, and to hinder none of his friends to minister to him.
24 Guutha gallasappe guye, Filkkisi Ayhude bagga gidida ba machche Dirusillara yidi Phawuloosa kiitti ehisidi Yesuus Kiristtoosan ammanobaa iyappe si7is.
And after certain days, Felix having arrived with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25 Phawuloosi xillotethabaa, ba huu7e haariyabaanne yaanaw de7iya pirddabaa odishin, Filkkisi yayyidi, “Neeni ha77is ba; taw injjetida wode nena xeegisana” yaagis.
And as he reasoned concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment about to come, Felix, being filled with fear, answered, Go for the present, and when I get an opportunity I will send for thee;
26 He wode Phawuloosappe gubbo ekkanaw qoppidi iya zaari zaari xeegisidi iyara odettees.
hoping at the same time that money would be given him by Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener and communed with him.
27 Nam77u laythafe guye, Filkkisa bessaa Phorqiyoos Fisxoosi ekkis. Filkkisi Ayhudeta ufayssanaw koyidi Phawuloosa billonna aggaa gis.
But when two years were completed, Felix was relieved by Porcius Festus as his successor; and Felix, desirous to oblige the Jews, to acquire their favour, left Paul bound.
