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.
THE former book have I written, O Theophilus concerning all the things which our Lord Jesus Messiah began to do and teach,
until the day when he was taken up, after he had instructed those legates whom he had chosen by the Holy Spirit.
3 I ba waayiyappe guye hayqoppe denddidayssa sidhey baynna qonccisidi enttaw bana bessis. Oytamu gallas enttaw qonccidi Xoossaa kawotethaabaa entta tamaarssis.
To whom also he showed himself alive after he had suffered, by numerous signs, during forty days, while he was seen by them, and spoke of 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 he had eaten bread with them, he instructed them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which (said he) ye have heard from me.
5 Ays giikko, Yohaannisi haathan xammaqis, shin guutha wodeppe guye Geeshsha Ayyaanan hintte xammaqettana” yaagis.
For John baptized with water; but ye will be baptized with the Holy Spirit after not many days.
6 Hawaareti Yesuusara gayttida wode iyaakko, “Godaw, Isra7eeletas ne kawotethaa zaarana wodey hayssee?” yaagidi oychchidosona.
And they, when assembled, asked him and said to him: Our Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 Yesuusi enttako, “Ta Aaway ba maatan oothiya wodiyanne laythaa hintte eranaw dandda7ekketa.
He said to them: It is not yours, to know the time or times which God hath placed in his own power.
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 when the Holy Spirit shall come upon you, ye will receive energy, and will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and also among the Samaritans, and unto 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 beheld him, he was taken up, and a cloud received him, and he was hidden from their eyes.
10 Yesuusi biya wode entti salo tishshi oothidi xeellishin, bootha ma7o ma77ida nam77u asati akeekonna entta matan eqqidi,
And while they were looking toward heav, as he departed, two men were found standing near them, in white garments,
11 “Galiila asato, salo xeellishe, hintte ays eqqideti? Ha hintte be7ishin salo bida Yesuusi hessadakka simmidi yaana” yaagidosona.
and saying to them: Ye Galilean men, why stand ye and look toward heaven? This Jesus, who is taken up from you to heaven, will so come, as ye have seen him ascend to heaven.
12 Hessafe guye, hawaareti Shamaho Deriyappe Yerusalaame simmidosona. Shamaho Derey Yerusalaames matan de7ees.
And afterwards they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called the place of Olives, which was near to Jerusalem, and distant from it about seven furlongs.
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 had entered, they went to an upper chamber; where were Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, and Philip, and Thomas, and Matthew, and Bartholomew, and James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the son of James.
14 Hayssati ubbay maccasatara, Yesuusa aaye Mayraamiranne Yesuusa ishatara ubbay issi wozanan gididi minthidi woossosona.
All these unitedly persevered in prayer, with one soul, together with the women, and with Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 He wode, Phexiroosi xeetanne laatama gidiya ammaniyaa asay shiiqida bessan denddi eqqidi, hayssada yaagis:
And in those days stood up Simon Cephas in the midst of the disciples, (the persons there assembled being about one hundred and twenty, ) and said:
16 “Asaw, Yesuusa oykkidayssata kaalethida Yihudabaa Geeshsha Ayyaanay kase Dawite doonan odida Xoossaa qaalay polettanaw bessees.
Men, brethren, it was right that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus.
17 Yihudi nuura issife ha oosuwa oothanaw doorettida asi.”
For he was numbered with us, and had a part in this ministry.
18 Shin Yihudi ba iita oosuwan demmida miishen gade shammis. I gufannidi kunddin, iya uloy daakettis; iya maraacey ubbay kare keyis.
He purchased a field with the wages of sin; and he fell upon his face on the ground, and burst in the middle, and all his entrails were poured out.
19 Yihuda bolla hanidabaa Yerusalaamen de7iya asa ubbay si7is. Hessa gisho, he gadiya bantta qaalan Akelddaama (Suutha gade) gidi xeegidosona.
And this was known to all that dwelt at Jerusalem; so that the field was called, in the language of the country, Aceldama, which is interpreted Field of Blood.
20 “Hessika mazmure maxaafan, ‘Iya keethay kallo atto; oonikka iyan de7oppo. Qassi iya shuumatethaa hari ekko’ geetetti xaafettis.
For it is written, in the book of Psalms: Let his habitation be desolate, and let no resident be in it; and let another take his service.
21 “Hessa gisho, Godaa Yesuusi nu giddon simerettida wode ubban nuura de7eyssatappe,
It should therefore be, that one of these persons, who have been with us all the time that our Lord Jesus went in and out with us,
22 qassi Xammaqiya Yohaannisa wodiyappe doomidi Godaa Yesuusi salo bida gallas gakkanaw nuura de7eyssatappe issi asi iya dendduwas nuura markka gidanaw bessees” yaagis.
commencing from the baptism of John, unto the day he was taken up from us, should be, with us, a witness of his resurrection.
23 Hessa gisho, asay dooruwas Yosxoosa giya Barssaabasa geetettiya Yoosefanne Maatiyasa nam77a shiishidosona.
And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabas, whose surname was Justus, and Matthias.
24 Hessafe guye, Xoossaa woossishe, “Asa ubbaa wozana eriya Godaw, ha nam77atappe ne oona dooridaakko nuna bessa.
And when they had prayed, they said: Thou, Lord, knowest what is in the hearts of all, manifest which thou hast chosen of these two,
25 Yihudi ba bessaa bidi, aggida oosuwanne hawaaretetha oosuwa ekkana mela hayssatappe nuus qonccisa” yaagidosona.
that he should take part in this ministry and legateship, from which Judas broke away, that he might go to his own place.
26 Entta bolla saama yeggidosona. Saamay Maatiyasa bolla wodhdhin Maatiyasi tammanne issi hawaareta bolla guzhettis.
And they cast lots, and it came upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven legates.
