Hojii 11
1 Ergamoonnii fi obboloonni Yihuudaa keessa jiran akka Namoonni Ormaas dubbii Waaqaa fudhatan dhagaʼan.
Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Yehuda heard that the non-Jewish people had also received the word of God.
2 Kanaaf yommuu Phexros Yerusaalemitti ol baʼetti amantoonni dhagna qabatan isaan morman;
When Kipha had come up to Urishlim, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 akkanas jedhan; “Ati maaliif mana namoota dhagna hin qabatinii dhaqxee isaan wajjin nyaatte?”
saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them."
4 Phexrosis akkana jedhee waan taʼe sana tokko tokkoon isaanii ibsuu jalqabe.
But Kipha began, and explained to them in order, saying,
5 “Ani magaalaa Yoophee keessatti kadhannaa irran ture; akka waan yaadaan fudhatamuus taʼee waan akka wayyaa balʼaa tokko isaa roga isaa afraniin qabamee samii irraa gad buufamu mulʼataan arge. Innis iddoo ani turetti gad dhufe.
"I was in the city of Yupi praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
6 Anis xiyyeeffadhee ilaalee bineensota miilla afurii, bineensota bosonaa, uumamawwan lafa irra looʼanii fi simbirroota samii nan arge.
When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, crawling creatures, and birds of the sky.
7 Anis sagalee, ‘Yaa Phexros, kaʼiitii qaladhuu nyaadhu’ naan jedhu tokkon dhagaʼe.
I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Kipha, kill and eat.'
8 “Ani garuu deebisee, ‘Yaa Gooftaa, hin taʼu! Takkumaa wanni balfamaan yookaan wanni xuraaʼaan tokko iyyuu afaan koo hin seenne’ jedhe.
But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'
9 “Sagaleen sunis yeroo lammaffaa samii irraa, ‘Ati waan Waaqni qulqulleesseen xuraaʼaa hin jedhin’ jedhe.
But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.'
10 Wanni kunis yeroo sadii taʼe; kana booddees hundumti isaa amma illee samiitti ol fudhatame.
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 “Yommusuma namoonni Qiisaariyaadhaa natti ergaman sadii mana ani jiraachaa ture sana dura dhaabatan.
And look, immediately three men stood before the house where we were, having been sent from Qesarya to me.
12 Hafuurri Qulqulluunis akka ani shakkii tokko malee isaan wajjin deemu natti hime. Obboloonni kunneen jaʼaanis na wajjin deeman; nus mana namichaa ol seenne.
The Rukha told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house.
13 Innis akka ergamaa Waaqaa kan mana isaa keessatti itti mulʼate tokko arge nutti hime; ergamaan sunis akkana isaan jedhe; ‘Yoopheetti nama ergiitii Simoon isa Phexros jedhamu sana waamsisi;
He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Yupi, and get Shimon, whose surname is Kipha,
14 inni ergaa sii fi namoonni mana keetii hundinuu ittiin fayyitan sitti hima.’
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.'
15 “Akkuma ani dubbachuu jalqabeen, Hafuurri Qulqulluun akkuma jalqabatti nurra buʼe sana isaan irras buʼe.
As I began to speak, the Rukha d'Qudsha fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
16 Anis waan Gooftaan, ‘Yohannis bishaaniin cuuphe; isin garuu Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan cuuphamtu’ jedhee ture sana nan yaadadhe.
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'Yukhanan indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Rukha d'Qudsha.'
17 Kanaafuu erga Waaqni kennaadhuma yeroo nu gooftaa Yesuus Kiristoositti amanne nuu kenne sana isaaniifis kennee Waaqaan mormuuf ani eenyu?”
If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Yeshua Meshikha, who was I, that I could withstand God?"
18 Isaanis waan kana dhagaʼanii calʼisan; “Yoos Waaqni qalbii jijjiirratanii jiraachuu Namoota Ormaatiifis kenneera” jedhanii Waaqa galateeffatan.
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance to life."
19 Warri sababii ariʼatama Isxifaanositti kaʼeetiin bittinnaaʼanii turan sun ergaa sana Yihuudoota qofatti himaa hamma Finiiqee, Qophiroosii fi Anxookiiyaatti deeman.
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Astapanos traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
20 Isaan keessaa namoonni Qophiroosii fi Qareenaa irraa dhufan tokko tokko garuu Anxookiiyaa dhaqanii oduu gaarii waaʼee Gooftaa Yesuus Giriikotattis himuu jalqaban.
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Qurini, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Yeshua.
21 Harki Gooftaa isaan wajjin ture; namoonni hedduunis amananii Gooftaatti deebiʼan.
The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Oduun kunis gurra waldaa kiristaanaa ishee Yerusaalem jirtuu seene; isaanis Barnaabaasin Anxookiiyaatti ergan.
And the report concerning them was heard by the church in Urishlim, so they sent Bar-Naba to Antioch,
23 Innis yommuu achi gaʼee Ayyaana Waaqaa argetti ni gammade; akka isaan garaa tokkoon Gooftaaf amanamanii jiraataniifis isaan hunda jajjabeesse.
who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain true to the Lord.
24 Inni nama gaarii Hafuura Qulqulluu fi amantiidhaan guutame ture; namoonni baayʼeenis Gooftaatti dabalaman.
For he was a good man, and full of the Rukha d'Qudsha and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
25 Barnaabaasis Saaʼolin barbaaduuf jedhee Xarsees dhaqe;
Bar-Naba went out to Tarsus to look for Shaul.
26 Yommuu isa argettis Anxookiiyaatti isa geesse. Isaanis waggaa tokko guutuu waldaa sanaan wal gaʼanii namoota baayʼee barsiisan. Barattoonnis yeroo jalqabaatiif Anxookiiyaatti, “Kiristaana” jedhaman.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Meshihaye in Antioch.
27 Gidduudhuma sana raajonni tokko tokko Yerusaalemii kaʼanii Anxookiiyaatti gad buʼan.
Now in these days, prophets came down from Urishlim to Antioch.
28 Isaan keessaas namichi Agaaboos jedhamu tokko kaʼee dhaabatee akka beelli guddaan isaa addunyaa hunda irratti buʼu Hafuuraan dubbate. Wanni kunis bara moʼumsa Qilaawudewoos Qeesaar keessa taʼe.
One of them named Agavus stood up, and indicated by the Rukha that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29 Barattoonnis tokkoon tokkoon isaanii akkuma dandeettii isaaniitti obboloota Yihuudaa keessa jiraatan gargaaruu murteessan.
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Yehuda;
30 Isaanis harka Barnaabaasii fi harka Saaʼolitti gargaarsa isaanii maanguddootaatti erguun gargaarsa kennan.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Bar-Naba and Shaul.
