Hawaareta Oosuwa 7
1 Kahineta halaqay Isxifaanosekko, “Hayssi tumee?” yaagidi oychchis.
THEN said the high-priest, Are these things so?
2 Isxifaanosey, “Ta ishato, ta aawato, si7ite! Nu aawa Abrahamey Kaaranen daanaw baanappe sinthe Masephexoomiyan de7ishin, bonchcho Xoossay iyaw qonccidi,
He replied, Men, brethren, and fathers, hear me: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
3 ‘Ne biittaafenne ne dabbotappe shaakettada taani nena bessiya biittaa ba’ yaagis.
and said to him, Go forth out of thy country, and from among thy relations, and come hither to a land which I will shew thee.
4 He wode Abrahamey Kalddaweta biittaafe keyidi Kaaranen daanaw bis. Iya aaway hayqqidaappe guye Xoossay iya ha biittaa ha77i hintte de7iya bessaa ehis.
Then he went out from the country of the Chaldeans, and, dwelt in Charran: and from thence, after his father was dead, God removed him as a sojourner into this very country, in which we now dwell.
5 I ha biittaafe hari attoshin tohoy yedhdhiya bessika Abrahames immibeenna. Shin na7i iyaw baynna wode Xoossay ha biittaa iyawunne iya sheeshaas laata oothidi immanayssa qaala gelis.
Yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not so much as the print of his foot: yet he promised to give it for a possession to him and to his seed after him, when he had no son.
6 Xoossay Abrahamekko, ‘Ne sheeshay hara biittan imathatethan daana; yan oyddu xeetu laythi entti aylletethan haarettana.
Then spake God to him thus, That his seed should sojourn in a foreign land: and that they should enslave it, and grievously afflict it, four hundred years.
7 Shin taani ne sheeshaa haariya deriya bolla pirddana. Hessafe guye, entti he biittaafe keyidi hayssan taw goynnana’ yaagis.
And the nation by which they shall be enslaved will I judge, said God: and after these things they shall come out, and shall worship me in this place.
8 Xoossay Abrahaame sheeshay qaxxarettana mela iyara caaqqin, Yisaaqi yelettida hosppuntha gallasan qaxxaris. Yisaaqi Yayqooba qaxxaris; qassi Yayqoobi tammanne nam77u ba nayta, nu aawata mayzata qaxxaris.
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
9 “Yayqooba nayti Yoosefa qanaattidi Gibxe biittan aylletethas bayzidosona, shin Xoossay iyara de7ees.
And the patriarchs, envious, sold Joseph into Egypt: yet God was with him,
10 Iya, iya waaye ubbaafe kessis. Gibxe kawuwa sinthan sabanne cinccatethi iyaw immis. Gibxe kawoy Yoosefas Gibxe biittaanne ba keetha ubbaa aysanaada halaqatethi immis.
and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt and all his house.
11 “Gibxe biittaninne Kanaane biittan ubban koshi gelidi daro asaa un77ethis. He wode nu mayzati kathi demmanaw dandda7ibookkona.
Then came a famine upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress: and our fathers found no provisions.
12 Yayqoobi Gibxe biittan kathi de7eyssa si7idi nu aawata koyro yaa yeddis.
But when Jacob heard that there were provisions in Egypt, he sent our fathers, the first time.
13 Nam77antho buussan Yoosefi ba ishatas banatethaa erisis. Gibxe kawoykka Yoosefa sheeshaa eris.
And the second time Joseph was made known unto his brethren; and Joseph’s family was made known unto Pharaoh.
14 Yoosefi ba aawa Yayqoobanne ba dabbo ubbaa, laappun tammanne ichchashu asaa baakko yaana mela kiittidi ehisis.
Then sent Joseph, and invited his father Jacob to come to him, and all his kindred, consisting of seventy-five persons.
15 Yayqoobi Gibxe biittaa wodhdhis; inne iya nayti yan hayqqidosona.
So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, himself, and our fathers,
16 Entta ahay he bessaafe Seekeme giya biittaa tookettidi bidi, yan Abrahamey Hamoore naytappe daro biran shammida duufon moogettis.
and they removed him to Sychem, and laid him in the sepulchre which Abraham had bought, at a price paid in silver, of the sons of Emmor, the father of Shechem.
17 “Shin Xoossay Abrahames immana gidayssa poliya wodey gakkanaw matida wode Gibxe biittan de7iya nu asay dari dari bis.
But as the time of the promise which God had with an oath confirmed unto Abraham drew nigh, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Hessafe guye, Yoosefa eronna hara kawoy Gibxe biittan kawotis.
until another king arose, who knew not Joseph.
19 He kawoy nu zerethaa genidi guutha nayti hayqqana mela entta kare kessi yeggana mela nu aawata un77ethis.
This man, forming crafty designs against our nation, grievously treated our fathers, so as to cause them to expose their children, in order to exterminate the race.
20 “He wode Musey yelettis; I Xoossaa sinthan daro lo77o na7a. Ba aawa keethan heedzu ageena gakkanaw diccis.
At which time Moses was born, and was endued with singular beauty from God, who was brought up three months in the house of his father:
21 Musey wora holettida wode Gibxe kawuwa na7iya demma ekkada ba na7a oothada iya dichchasu.
and when he was exposed, Pharaoh’s daughter took him home, and brought him up for herself, as a son.
22 Musey Gibxeta cinccatetha ubbaa tamaaridi odaninne ooson mino asi gidis.
And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of Egypt, and was mighty in words and actions.
23 “Muses laythay oytama kumida wode ba ishata, Isra7eeleta be7anaw ba wozanan qoppis.
But when he had completed his fortieth year, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
24 Isra7eelatappe issuwa Gibxe issoy qohishin be7idi he Isra7eele uraa maaddidi, he qohida Gibxe uraa wodhidi kushe zaaris.
And seeing one of them treated injuriously, he defended him, and executed vengeance for him who had suffered the outrage, smiting the Egyptian.
25 Musey ba ishata ba baggara Xoossay ashshanaw haneyssa entti akeekana gidi qoppis, shin entti akeekibookkona.
For he thought that his brethren would understand that God by his hand would give them deliverance: but they understood not.
26 “Wonttetha gallas nam77u Isra7eele asati issoy issuwara wadhettishin demmidi entta sigethanaw koyidi, ‘Asato, hintte ishantta; ays issoy issuwa qohetii?’ yaagis.
And the following day he shewed himself to them as they were fighting, and urged them to peace, saying, My friends, ye are brethren; wherefore do ye ill treat one another?
27 “Shin ba laggiya qoheyssi Musekko, ‘Nena nu bolla haareyssanne daynna oothiday oonee?
Then he who did his neighbour wrong thrust him from him, saying, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Neeni zine Gibxe uraa wodhidayssada tana wodhanaw koyay?’ yaagidi Muse sugi yeddis.
Wilt thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Musey hessa si7ida wode Gibxefe betidi Miidiyaame biittan bete asi gididi de7ishe nam77u adde nayta yelis.
Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
30 “Godaa kiitanchchoy oytamu laythafe guye, Siina Deriya matan de7iya bazzo tushiya giddon eexiya tama laco giddon Muses benttis.
And when forty years were completed, there appeared to him in the desert of mount Sinai the angel of the Lord, in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 Musey ba be7idayssan malaalettidi, loythi be7anaw tushiya mati shiiqidi de7ishin, Godaa qaalay,
But when Moses saw it, he marvelled at the sight: and as he was drawing nearer to observe it, a voice from the Lord came to him,
32 ‘Taani ne aawata, Abrahame Xoossaa, Yisaaqa Xoossaa, Yayqooba Xoossaa’ yaagishe Musekko yis. Musey yashshan kokkoridi xeellanaw dandda7ibeenna.
“I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses trembling, dared not to look farther.
33 “Goday Musekko, ‘Neeni eqqida biittay geeshshi gidiya gisho ne tohuwan de7iya caammaa kessa.
Then the Lord said unto him, “Loose the sandal from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
34 Taani Gibxen de7iya ta asaa un77etethaa be7as. Entta waasuwa si7ada entta ashshanaw wodhdhas. Ha77i haaya! Taani nena Gibxe kiittana’ yaagis.
Attentive I have beheld the evil treatment of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them. And now come hither, I will send thee into Egypt.”
35 “Isra7eeleti Muse, ‘Nena nuna haareyssanne daynna oothiday oonee?’ yaagidi ixxidayssa tushiya giddon iyaw benttida kiitanchchuwa baggara haareyssanne ashsheyssa oothidi Xoossay kiittis.
This very Moses whom they had rejected, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 He Musey Isra7eeleta Gibxefe kessidi malaalisiyabatanne oorathabata Gibxe biittaninne Zo7o Abban oothidi entta oytamu laythi bazzo biittan kaalethis.
He brought them forth, after performing miracles and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
37 “Isra7eele asaakko, ‘Xoossay tana denthidayssada hintte sheeshaa giddofe ta mela nabe hinttew denthana’ yaagiday he Muse.
This is the Moses who said unto the children of Israel, “A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren, as myself; him shall ye hear.”
38 Bazzo biittan shiiqida Isra7eele asaara de7idayssi, nu aawataranne Siina Deriya bolla iyaw odida kiitanchchuwara de7ida Musey iya. Yaatidi, Xoossaa de7o qaala nuus immanaw ekkis.
This is he, who was with the church in the wilderness with the angel who spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the oracles of life to give unto us:
39 “Shin nu mayzati Muses kiitettanaw dosibookkona; iya ixxidi guye Gibxe simmanaw amottidosona.
to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt,
40 Qassi Aaronakko, ‘Nuna kaalethiya xoossata nuus ootha. Ays giikko, hayssi nuna Gibxefe ehida Musey, waanidaakko nuuni erokko’ yaagidosona.
saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us: for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath happened to him.
41 He wode mari daanisidi eeqa oothidosona. He eeqaas yarshsho yarshshidi bantta kushen oothida oosuwan ufayttidosona.
And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice for the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 Shin Xoossay enttaw zokko zaaris. Entti saluwa xoolinttotas goynnana mela entta yeggi aggis. Nabeta maxaafan, ‘Isra7eele asato oytamu laythi kumethi bazzo biittan shukkida mehiyanne yarshshida yarshshuwa taw yarshshidetii?
Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Have ye offered me slain beasts and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 Hinttee, hinttew goynnanaw kessida eeqaanne Molooke dunkkaaniya Refaana giya hintte xoossaa xoolintto misiliya tookkideta. Taani hinttena Babilooneppe hini bagga yeddana’ geetettidi xaafettis.
Yet have ye taken up the tabernacle of Moloc, and the star of your god Remphan, those figures which ye made to pay adoration to them: and I will transport you beyond Babylon.
44 “Nu aawatas bazzo biittan markka dunkkaaney de7ees. Iyakka Xoossay Muse kiittidayssadanne iya bessidayssada oothis.
The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, as he that spake to Moses commanded, that he should make it according to the model which he had seen.
45 Qassi nu aawati he dunkkaaniya bantta aawatappe ekkidi Xoossay kase yedethida Ayhude gidonna asaa biittaa oykkida wode Iyaasura yaa ekkidi gelidosona. He dunkkaaney Dawite wode gakkanawukka he bessan de7is.
Which also our fathers having received, brought in with Joshua into the place possessed by the Gentiles, whom God drove out from before the presence of our fathers, unto the days of David;
46 Dawitey Xoossan sabettis. Qassi Yayqooba Goday de7ana keethaa keexanaw Xoossaa woossis.
who found favour before God, and sought to procure an habitation for the God of Jacob.
47 Shin iyaw keethaa keexiday Solomone.
But Solomon built an house for him.
48 “Hanoshin, Ubbaafe Bolla Xoossay asi keexida keethan deenna. Nabey gidayssa mela,
Though the Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as the prophet saith,
49 ‘Saloy ta araata, sa7aykka ta tohoy yedhdhiyaso. Yaatin, taw hintte ay mela keethi keexanee? Woykko taani shemppiyasoy awunee?
“Heaven is my throne, and earth the footstool for my feet: what kind of house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what place is there for my repose?
50 Ha ubbaa ta kushiyan oothabiikkinaa?’ yaagees Goday.
hath not my hand made all these things?”
51 “Hintte waanida si7onna asee? Hintte wozanay Xoossaa qaala ekkanaw ays ixxide? Hintte haythay ays tullidee? Hinttee, hintte aawatatho ubba wode Geeshsha Ayyaanaara eqetteeta.
Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears, ye do always oppose yourselves against the Holy Ghost: as your fathers, so are ye.
52 Nabeta giddofe hintte aawati gooddonnay oonee? Xoossaa Na7ay, Xilloy yaanayssa kasetidi odidayssata wodhidosona. Ha77i hintte iya aathi immidi wodhideta.
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they killed those who before published the tidings of the coming of that Righteous Person; of whom ye have now been the betrayers and murderers:
53 Hintte kiitanchchuwa kusheppe Xoossaa higgiya ekkideta, shin kiitettibeekketa” yaagis.
who have received the law through arrangements of angels, yet have not observed it.
54 Entti hessa si7ida wode bantta wozanan Isxifaanose bolla daro yilottidi, bantta mettershshaa saxxidi manddidosona.
Now when they heard these things, they were cut through their hearts as with a saw, and gnashed upon him with their teeth.
55 Shin Isxifaanosey Geeshsha Ayyaanan kumidi, salo pude xeellidi, Xoossaa bonchchuwanne Yesuusa Xoossaa ushachcha baggan eqqidayssa be7is.
But he being full of the Holy Ghost, and looking up stedfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God;
56 “Hekko, taani saloy dooyettin, Asa Na7ay, Xoossaa ushachcha baggan eqqidayssa be7ays” yaagis.
and he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.
57 Qaalaa dhoqqu oothidi waassishe, bantta haythaa oykkidi issife iyaakko woxxidosona
Then they screamed out with a great cry, and stopped their ears, and rushed all together upon him,
58 Katamaappe gaxa iya kessidi, shuchchan caddidosona. Markkati bantta ma7uwa issi Saa7ola giya na7atethaa matan wothidosona.
and dragging him out of the city, stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, named Saul.
59 Isxifaanosey, “Ta Godaa Yesuusaa, ta shemppuwa ekka” yaagidi xeegishin entti iya shuchchan caddoosona.
And they stoned Stephen, in the act of prayer, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!
60 Gulbbatidi, ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Ta Godaw, ha nagaraa enttaw atto ga” yaagis. Hessa yaagidi simmida mela hayqqi aggis.
Then falling on his knees, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, impute not to them this sin! And thus speaking, fell asleep.
