Hawaareta Oosuwa 7
1 Kahineta halaqay Isxifaanosekko, “Hayssi tumee?” yaagidi oychchis.
And the high-priest said, Are then these things so?
2 Isxifaanosey, “Ta ishato, ta aawato, si7ite! Nu aawa Abrahamey Kaaranen daanaw baanappe sinthe Masephexoomiyan de7ishin, bonchcho Xoossay iyaw qonccidi,
And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
3 ‘Ne biittaafenne ne dabbotappe shaakettada taani nena bessiya biittaa ba’ yaagis.
and said to him, “Go forth from thy country and thy kindred, and come into the land which I will show 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 came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Haran; and from thence, after his father was dead, he caused him to remove into this land wherein ye 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.
and he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on; and he promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no child.
6 Xoossay Abrahamekko, ‘Ne sheeshay hara biittan imathatethan daana; yan oyddu xeetu laythi entti aylletethan haarettana.
And God spoke in this manner: “That his posterity should sojourn in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into bondage, and ill-treat them 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 to which they shall be in bondage will I judge,” said God; “and after that they shall come forth, 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 begat Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
9 “Yayqooba nayti Yoosefa qanaattidi Gibxe biittan aylletethas bayzidosona, shin Xoossay iyara de7ees.
And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and 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 favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made 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.
Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress; and our fathers found no Sustenance.
12 Yayqoobi Gibxe biittan kathi de7eyssa si7idi nu aawata koyro yaa yeddis.
But Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers first.
13 Nam77antho buussan Yoosefi ba ishatas banatethaa erisis. Gibxe kawoykka Yoosefa sheeshaa eris.
And at the second time Joseph was recognized by his brothers, and the kindred of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
14 Yoosefi ba aawa Yayqoobanne ba dabbo ubbaa, laappun tammanne ichchashu asaa baakko yaana mela kiittidi ehisis.
Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy five souls.
15 Yayqoobi Gibxe biittaa wodhdhis; inne iya nayti yan hayqqidosona.
And Jacob went down [[into Egypt]], and died, he and our fathers.
16 Entta ahay he bessaafe Seekeme giya biittaa tookettidi bidi, yan Abrahamey Hamoore naytappe daro biran shammida duufon moogettis.
And they were removed to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hamor, 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 drew near, which God solemnly made to Abraham, the people grew 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.
The same dealt subtly with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, so that they should cast out their infants, that they might not be preserved alive.
20 “He wode Musey yelettis; I Xoossaa sinthan daro lo77o na7a. Ba aawa keethan heedzu ageena gakkanaw diccis.
In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly fair; who was nourished in his father's house three months.
21 Musey wora holettida wode Gibxe kawuwa na7iya demma ekkada ba na7a oothada iya dichchasu.
And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for herself as a son.
22 Musey Gibxeta cinccatetha ubbaa tamaaridi odaninne ooson mino asi gidis.
And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his worlds and deeds.
23 “Muses laythay oytama kumida wode ba ishata, Isra7eeleta be7anaw ba wozanan qoppis.
And when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons 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 suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed by smiting the Egyptian.
25 Musey ba ishata ba baggara Xoossay ashshanaw haneyssa entti akeekana gidi qoppis, shin entti akeekibookkona.
For he supposed his brethren would understand that God through his hand would give them salvation; 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 next day he showed himself to them as they were contending, and urged them to peace, saying, Ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one another?
27 “Shin ba laggiya qoheyssi Musekko, ‘Nena nu bolla haareyssanne daynna oothiday oonee?
But he who was wronging his neighbor thrust him away, saying, “Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Neeni zine Gibxe uraa wodhidayssada tana wodhanaw koyay?’ yaagidi Muse sugi yeddis.
Dost thou mean to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian yesterday?”
29 Musey hessa si7ida wode Gibxefe betidi Miidiyaame biittan bete asi gididi de7ishe nam77u adde nayta yelis.
And Moses fled at this saying, and became 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 wilderness of Mount Sinai an angel in the flaming fire of a bush.
31 Musey ba be7idayssan malaalettidi, loythi be7anaw tushiya mati shiiqidi de7ishin, Godaa qaalay,
And Moses seeing it wondered at the sight; and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came [[to him]],
32 ‘Taani ne aawata, Abrahame Xoossaa, Yisaaqa Xoossaa, Yayqooba Xoossaa’ yaagishe Musekko yis. Musey yashshan kokkoridi xeellanaw dandda7ibeenna.
saying, “I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.” And Moses trembled and durst not behold.
33 “Goday Musekko, ‘Neeni eqqida biittay geeshshi gidiya gisho ne tohuwan de7iya caammaa kessa.
And the Lord said to him, “Loose the sandals from thy feet; for the place where 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.
I have surely seen the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them; and now, come, 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 Moses, whom they denied, saying, “Who made thee a ruler and a judge?” this very man did God send both as a ruler and a redeemer with 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.
This very man brought them out, working wonders 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 to the sons of Israel, “A prophet will God raise up to you from among your brethren, as he raised up me.”
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 that was in the assembly in the wilderness with the anger who spake to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received the living oracles to give to 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 in their hearts turned back into 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 as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of 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 offered sacrifice to 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?
But God turned away, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the Prophets, “Did ye offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices for 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.
And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, the figures which ye made to worship them; and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.”
44 “Nu aawatas bazzo biittan markka dunkkaaney de7ees. Iyakka Xoossay Muse kiittidayssadanne iya bessidayssada oothis.
Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, as he that spoke to Moses commanded that he should make it according to the pattern that 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 received and brought in with Joshua, at their taking possession of the gentiles whom God drove out from before our fathers, until the days of David;
46 Dawitey Xoossan sabettis. Qassi Yayqooba Goday de7ana keethaa keexanaw Xoossaa woossis.
who found favor before God, and asked that he might find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
47 Shin iyaw keethaa keexiday Solomone.
But Solomon built him a house.
48 “Hanoshin, Ubbaafe Bolla Xoossay asi keexida keethan deenna. Nabey gidayssa mela,
Yet the Most High dwelleth not in [[temples]] made with hands; as saith the prophet,
49 ‘Saloy ta araata, sa7aykka ta tohoy yedhdhiyaso. Yaatin, taw hintte ay mela keethi keexanee? Woykko taani shemppiyasoy awunee?
“Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What house will ye build for me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my rest?
50 Ha ubbaa ta kushiyan oothabiikkinaa?’ yaagees Goday.
Did not my hands make 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.
Stiffnecked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears! ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do 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 did not your fathers persecute? And they slew those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, of whom ye have now become the betrayers and murderers;
53 Hintte kiitanchchuwa kusheppe Xoossaa higgiya ekkideta, shin kiitettibeekketa” yaagis.
ye who received the Law as ordained through angels, and did not keep it.
54 Entti hessa si7ida wode bantta wozanan Isxifaanose bolla daro yilottidi, bantta mettershshaa saxxidi manddidosona.
But when they heard these things, their hearts were filled with rage, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
55 Shin Isxifaanosey Geeshsha Ayyaanan kumidi, salo pude xeellidi, Xoossaa bonchchuwanne Yesuusa Xoossaa ushachcha baggan eqqidayssa be7is.
But, being full of the Holy Spirit, he looked up earnestly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 “Hekko, taani saloy dooyettin, Asa Na7ay, Xoossaa ushachcha baggan eqqidayssa be7ays” yaagis.
and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Qaalaa dhoqqu oothidi waassishe, bantta haythaa oykkidi issife iyaakko woxxidosona
And they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
58 Katamaappe gaxa iya kessidi, shuchchan caddidosona. Markkati bantta ma7uwa issi Saa7ola giya na7atethaa matan wothidosona.
and having cast him out of the city, they 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, making supplication, 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.
And kneeling down he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And saying this, he fell asleep.
