Hojii 1
1 Yaa Tewofilos, ani waan Yesuus hojjechuu fi barsiisuu jalqabe hunda kitaaba koo kan jalqabaa keessatti barreesseera.
The indeed first account I composed concerning all the things, O Theophilus, of which began Jesus to do both and to teach
2 Wanni kunis waan erga Yesuus ergamoota filate sanaaf karaa hafuura qulqulluutiin ajaja kennee booddee hamma gaafa inni Samiitti ol fudhatameetti taʼee dha.
until the day having given orders to the apostles through [the] Spirit Holy whom He had chosen He was taken up.
3 Innis duʼa isaa booddee namoota kanatti of argisiisee waan akka inni jiraataa taʼe mirkaneessu baayʼees dhiʼeesse; bultii afurtama isaanitti mulʼatee waaʼee mootummaa Waaqaa dubbate.
to those also He presented Himself alive after the suffering of Him with many proofs, during days forty appearing to them and speaking the [things] concerning the kingdom of God.
4 Utuu isaan wajjin jiruus akkana jedhee isaan ajaje; “Waadaa Abbaa kootii kan waaʼee isaa narraa dhageessan sana eeggadhaa malee Yerusaalemii hin baʼinaa.
And being assembled together He instructed to them from Jerusalem not to depart, but to await the promise of the Father That which you heard of Me;
5 Yohannis bishaaniin cuupheetii; isin garuu bultii xinnoo booddee Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ni cuuphamtu.”
for John indeed baptized with water, you yourselves however with [the] Spirit will be baptized Holy not after many these days.
6 Isaanis yommuu walitti qabamanitti, “Yaa Gooftaa, ati yeroo kanatti Israaʼeliif mootummaa ni deebiftaa?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
Those indeed therefore having come together (were asking *N(k)O*) Him saying; Lord, if at time this are you restoring the kingdom to Israel?
7 Inni immoo akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yeroo yookaan guyyaa Abbaan aangoo isaatiin murteesse beekuun hojii keessan miti.
He said then to them; Not yours it is to know times or seasons which the Father put in place by His own authority,
8 Yeroo hafuurri Qulqulluun isin irra buʼutti garuu humna ni argattu; isinis Yerusaalem keessatti, Yihuudaa hundaa fi Samaariyaa keessatti, hamma qarqara lafaattis dhuga baatota koo ni taatu.”
But you will receive power when was coming the Holy Spirit upon you and you will be (My *N(K)O*) witnesses in both Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and until [the] uttermost part of the earth.
9 Erga inni waan kana dubbatee booddee utuma isaan ilaalanuu ol fudhatame; duumessis ija isaanii duraa isa dhokse.
And these things having said when are looking they He was taken up and a cloud hid Him from the eyes of them.
10 Yeroo inni ol baʼaa turettis, utuma isaan xiyyeeffatanii gara Samii ilaalaa jiranuu namoonni uffata adaadii uffatan lama isaan bira dhadhaabatan.
And as looking intently they were into the heaven as is going He, then behold men two had stood by them in (garments white, *N(k)O*)
11 Akkanas jedhaniin; “Yaa namoota Galiilaa, isin maaliif as dhadhaabattanii gara Samii ilaaltu? Yesuus innumti isin biraa samiitti ol fudhatame kun, akkuma isin utuu inni samiitti ol baʼuu argitan kana deebiʼee ni dhufa.”
who also said; Men Galileans, why have you stood (looking *NK(o)*) into heaven? This Jesus who having been taken up from you into heaven thus will come in that manner you beheld Him going into heaven.
12 Isaanis gaara Tulluu Ejersaa jedhamu irraa Yerusaalemitti deebiʼan; gaarri kunis Yerusaalem irraa gara deemsa guyyaa Sanbata tokkoo fagaata.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from [the] mount which is being called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s holding journey.
13 Isaanis yommuu Yerusaalem gaʼanitti kutaa darbii kan keessa jiraachaa turan sanatti ol baʼan; isaanis: Phexrosii fi Yohannis, Yaaqoobii fi Indiriiyaas, Fiiliphoosii fi Toomaas, Bartaloomewoosii fi Maatewos, Yaaqoob ilma Alfewoos, Simoon isa Hinaafticha jedhamuu fi Yihuudaa ilma Yaaqoob turan.
And when they had entered into the upper room they went up where they were staying, both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas [son] of James.
14 Hundi isaaniis dubartootaa fi Maariyaam haadha Yesuus wajjin, obboloota isaa wajjinis utuu gargar hin kutin yaada tokkoon kadhannaatti jabaachaa turan.
These all were steadfastly continuing with one accord in prayer (and in supplication *K*) with the [the] women and Mary with the mother of Jesus and (with *ko*) the brothers of Him.
15 Gidduma sana Phexros kaʼee amantoota gara 120 taʼan gidduu dhaabate.
And in days these having stood up Peter in [the] midst of the (brothers *N(K)O*) he said — was then [the] number of names together the same (about *N(k)O*) a hundred twenty —
16 Akkanas jedhe; “Yaa obboloota, dubbiin kitaabaa kan Hafuurri Qulqulluun yeroo dheeraan dura waaʼee Yihuudaa isa warra Yesuusin qaban fide sanaa afaan Daawitiitiin dubbate sun raawwatamuu qaba.
Men brothers, it was necessary for to have been fulfilled Scripture (this *k*) which (foretold *NK(o)*) the Spirit Holy through [the] mouth of David concerning Judas the [one] having become guide to those having arrested (*k*) Jesus;
17 Innis miseensa keenyaa fi nama akka tajaajila kana keessatti qooda qabaatuuf filatame ture.”
for numbered he was (among *N(k)O*) us and was allotted the share of the ministry this.
18 Yihuudaan horii hammina hojjetee argate sanaan lafa bitate; innis mataan kufee qixxee lamaanitti tarsaʼe; marʼumaan isaa hundinuus keessaa jige.
This [man] indeed then acquired a field out of (the *k*) reward of unrighteousness, and headlong having fallen he burst open in [the] middle and gushed out all the intestines of him,
19 Namoonni Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan hundinuus waan kana dhagaʼan; lafa sanas afaan isaaniitiin Akeldaamaa jedhanii waaman. Akeldaamaa jechuun “Lafa Dhiigaa” jechuu dha.
And known it became to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, so that to call the field that [one] in [their] own language of them Akeldama That is Field of Blood.
20 Phexrosis akkana jedhe; “Kitaaba faarfannaa keessatti akkana jedhamee barreeffameeraatii: “‘Qeʼeen isaa haa onu; namni keessa jiraatu tokko iyyuus hin hafin’ akkasumas “‘Aangoo isaa namni biraa haa fudhatu.’
It has been written for in [the] book of Psalms: should become the homestead of him desolate and not should there be [one] who is dwelling in it,’ and The position of him (take *N(k)O*) another.’
21 Kanaaf warra yeroo gooftaa Yesuus nu gidduu baʼee galaa ture hundumaa nu wajjin turan keessaa nama tokko filachuun barbaachisaa dha;
It behooves therefore of those [who] were accompanying us men during all [the] time (in *k*) that he came in and he went out among us the Lord Jesus,
22 namni filatamu kun nama cuuphaa Yohannisii jalqabee hamma gaafa Yesuus nu biraa samiitti ol fudhatameetti nu wajjin ture taʼuu qaba. Namoota kanneen keessaa tokko nu wajjin dhuga baatuu duʼaa kaʼuu Yesuus taʼuu qabaatii.”
having begun from the baptism of John until the day in which He was taken up from us, a witness of the resurrection of Him with us to become one of these.
23 Kanaafis namoota lama dhiʼeessan; isaanis Yoosef isa Barsaabaas jedhamu kan Yoosxoos jedhamee beekamu tokkoo fi Maatiyaas.
And they put forward two, Joseph who is being called Barsabbas who was called Justus and Matthias.
24 Akkanas jedhanii Waaqa kadhatan; “Yaa Gooftaa garaa nama hundumaa beektu, ati namoota kanneen lamaan keessaa isa kam akka filatte nutti argisiisi;
And having prayed they said; You yourself Lord knower of the hearts of all, do show whom You have chosen of these two one
25 kunis akka inni tajaajilaa fi ergamtummaa Yihuudaan dhiisee gara iddoo ofii isaatti gara gale sana fudhatuuf.”
to take the (place *N(k)O*) of the ministry this and apostleship (from *N(k)O*) which turned aside Judas to go to the place [his] own.
26 Isaanis ixaa buusan; ixaan sunis Maatiyaasiif baʼe. Kanaafuu inni ergamoota kudha tokkotti dabalame.
And they gave lots (to them *N(k)O*) and fell the lot on Matthias and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
