Hawaareta Oosuwa 1
1 Tewofiloosa, Yesuusi ba oosuwa oykkida wodeppe salo bida gallasaa gakkanaw, oothidabaanne tamaarssidabaa ubbaa taani ta koyro maxaafan xaafas. Salo baanappe sinthe I ba doorida hawaareta Geeshsha Ayyaanan kiittis.
I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,
Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:
3 I ba waayiyappe guye hayqoppe denddidayssa sidhey baynna qonccisidi enttaw bana bessis. Oytamu gallas enttaw qonccidi Xoossaa kawotethaabaa entta tamaarssis.
And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death; for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God:
4 Issi wode enttara issife mishe entta hayssada yaagidi kiittis; “Ta hinttew odida, ta Aaway immana gida ufayssaa qaala naagiteppe attin Yerusalaameppe keyoppite.
And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:
5 Ays giikko, Yohaannisi haathan xammaqis, shin guutha wodeppe guye Geeshsha Ayyaanan hintte xammaqettana” yaagis.
For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.
6 Hawaareti Yesuusara gayttida wode iyaakko, “Godaw, Isra7eeletas ne kawotethaa zaarana wodey hayssee?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?
7 Yesuusi enttako, “Ta Aaway ba maatan oothiya wodiyanne laythaa hintte eranaw dandda7ekketa.
And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.
8 Shin Geeshsha Ayyaanay hintte bolla wodhdhiya wode, hintte wolqqan kumana. Yaani simmidi, Yerusalaamen, Yihuda biitta ubban, Samaareninne sa7aa gaxa gakkanaw taw markkatta gidana” yaagis.
But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
9 Hessa gidayssafe guye entti xeellishin, dhoqqu dhoqqu gidi, saluwa bin shaaraykka iya entta ayfiyaappe geenthis.
And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud.
10 Yesuusi biya wode entti salo tishshi oothidi xeellishin, bootha ma7o ma77ida nam77u asati akeekonna entta matan eqqidi,
And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,
11 “Galiila asato, salo xeellishe, hintte ays eqqideti? Ha hintte be7ishin salo bida Yesuusi hessadakka simmidi yaana” yaagidosona.
And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
12 Hessafe guye, hawaareti Shamaho Deriyappe Yerusalaame simmidosona. Shamaho Derey Yerusalaames matan de7ees.
Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 Entti Yerusalaame gelidi, bantta de7iya bessaa pooqiya bolla keyidosona. Enttika: Phexiroosa, Yohaannisa, Yayqooba, Inddiriyasa, Filiphphoosa, Toomasa, Bartolomiyoosa, Maatoosa, Ilfiyoosa na7aa Yayqooba, ba biittaas mishettiya Simoonanne Yayqooba na7aa Yihuda.
And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.
14 Hayssati ubbay maccasatara, Yesuusa aaye Mayraamiranne Yesuusa ishatara ubbay issi wozanan gididi minthidi woossosona.
And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15 He wode, Phexiroosi xeetanne laatama gidiya ammaniyaa asay shiiqida bessan denddi eqqidi, hayssada yaagis:
And in those days Peter got up among the brothers (there were about one hundred and twenty of them), and said,
16 “Asaw, Yesuusa oykkidayssata kaalethida Yihudabaa Geeshsha Ayyaanay kase Dawite doonan odida Xoossaa qaalay polettanaw bessees.
My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,
17 Yihudi nuura issife ha oosuwa oothanaw doorettida asi.”
For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.
18 Shin Yihudi ba iita oosuwan demmida miishen gade shammis. I gufannidi kunddin, iya uloy daakettis; iya maraacey ubbay kare keyis.
(Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.
19 Yihuda bolla hanidabaa Yerusalaamen de7iya asa ubbay si7is. Hessa gisho, he gadiya bantta qaalan Akelddaama (Suutha gade) gidi xeegidosona.
And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)
20 “Hessika mazmure maxaafan, ‘Iya keethay kallo atto; oonikka iyan de7oppo. Qassi iya shuumatethaa hari ekko’ geetetti xaafettis.
For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.
21 “Hessa gisho, Godaa Yesuusi nu giddon simerettida wode ubban nuura de7eyssatappe,
For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 qassi Xammaqiya Yohaannisa wodiyappe doomidi Godaa Yesuusi salo bida gallas gakkanaw nuura de7eyssatappe issi asi iya dendduwas nuura markka gidanaw bessees” yaagis.
Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.
23 Hessa gisho, asay dooruwas Yosxoosa giya Barssaabasa geetettiya Yoosefanne Maatiyasa nam77a shiishidosona.
And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.
24 Hessafe guye, Xoossaa woossishe, “Asa ubbaa wozana eriya Godaw, ha nam77atappe ne oona dooridaakko nuna bessa.
And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,
25 Yihudi ba bessaa bidi, aggida oosuwanne hawaaretetha oosuwa ekkana mela hayssatappe nuus qonccisa” yaagidosona.
To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.
26 Entta bolla saama yeggidosona. Saamay Maatiyasa bolla wodhdhin Maatiyasi tammanne issi hawaareta bolla guzhettis.
And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
