Hojii 12
1 Baruma sana keessa Heroodis mootichi isaan ariʼachuuf jedhee miseensota waldaa kiristaanaa tokko tokko qabe.
But at this time king Herod reached forth his hands to persecute some of those from the church.
2 Innis Yaaqoob obboleessa Yohannis goraadeen ajjeese.
And he slew James the brother of John with a sword.
3 Yommuu akka wanni kun Yihuudoota gammachiise argettis, ittuma fufee Phexrosinis qabsiise. Wanni kunis yeroo Ayyaana Maxinoo keessa taʼe.
And seeing that it is pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also: and those were the days of the unleavened bread:
4 Erga isa qabee booddee akka isaan isa eeganiif jedhee gareewwan loltootaa afur kanneen tokkoon tokkoon isaanii loltoota afur afur of keessaa qabanitti dabarsee isa kennuudhaan, mana hidhaa keessa isa buuse; kanas ayyaana Faasiikaa booddee fuula uummataa duratti dhiʼeessee isa qoruuf godhe.
whom having seized, he also put in prison, having committed him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; wishing to bring him out to the people after the passover.
5 Kanaafuu Phexros mana hidhaa keessatti eegamaa ture; waldaan kiristaanaa garuu jabeessitee waaʼee isaatiif Waaqa kadhachaa turte.
Then indeed Peter was kept in prison: but prayer to God in his behalf was incessantly made by the church.
6 Edumtii guyyaa Heroodis itti Phexrosin dhiʼeessuuf ture sanaa Phexros foncaa lamaan hidhamee loltoota lama gidduu rafaa ture; loltoonni kaanis balbala dura dhaabatanii mana hidhaa sana eegaa turan.
But when Herod was about to lead him forth, and Peter was sleeping that night between two soldiers, and bound with two chains; and the guards were keeping guard before the door.
7 Akkuma tasaas, ergamaan Gooftaa tokko mulʼate; kutaa mana hidhaa sana keessattis ifni ife; ergamaan sunis cinaacha Phexros tuqee isa dammaqsuudhaan, “Dafii kaʼi!” jedheen. Foncaan sunis harka isaa irraa harcaʼe.
And, behold, the angel of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in the house; and having touched the side of Peter, he raised him up, saying; Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8 Ergamaan Waaqaa sunis, “Uffata kee uffadhu; kophee kees kaaʼadhu” jedheen. Phexrosis akkasuma godhe. Ergamaan sunis, “Wayyaa kee marxifadhuutii na faana buʼi” jedheen.
And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals. And he thus did. And he says to him, Throw thy cloak about thee, and follow me.
9 Phexrosis isa duukaa buʼee mana hidhaatii baʼe; innis waan mulʼata argu seʼe malee akka wanni ergamaan Waaqaa hojjechaa ture sun dhugaa taʼe hin beekne.
And having come out, he was following; and did not know that it is true which was done by the angel; but he was thinking that he saw a vision.
10 Isaanis waardiyyaa duraatii fi isa lammaffaa bira darbanii balbala sibiilaa kan magaalaatti gad baasu bira gaʼan; balballi sunis ofumaan banameef; isaanis gad baʼanii utuu daandii tokko irra gad buʼaa jiranuu ergamaan sun isa biraa sokke.
And having come through the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and having come out, they came on to the first street; and the angel immediately departed from him.
11 Phexrosis qalbii isaatti deebiʼee, “Ani amma akka Gooftaan ergamaa isaa ergee harka Heroodisii fi waan Yihuudoonni natti yaadaa turan hunda jalaa na baase shakkii malee beekeera” jedhe.
And Peter coming to himself, said, Now I know truly, that the Lord sent his angel, and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, out of all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 Innis erga waan kana hubatee booddee mana Maariyaam haadha Yohannis isa Maarqos jedhamu sanaa iddoo itti namoonni baayʼeen walitti qabamanii kadhachaa turan dhaqe.
And recognizing his whereabouts, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, called Mark; where many were assembled and praying.
13 Yommuu Phexros balbala alaa rurrukutetti intalli hojjettuun Roodaa jedhamtu tokko ilaaluu dhufte.
And he knocking at the door of the gate, a damsel, by name Rhoda, came to hearken:
14 Isheenis yommuu sagalee Phexros hubattetti akka malee gammadde; balbala banuu dhiiftees fiigdee ol deebitee akka Phexros balbala dura dhaabatu himte.
and recognizing the voice of Peter, from joy did not open the gate, but running in, she proclaimed that Peter stands before the gate.
15 Isaanis, “Ati maraatteerta!” jedhaniin; isheen garuu cimsitee akka wanni kun akkasuma taʼe dubbatte; isaan immoo, “Yoos ergamaa isaa ti!” jedhan.
And they said to her, You are gone mad; but she persisted that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.
16 Phexros garuu ittuma fufee balbalicha rurrukute; isaanis yommuu bananitti, isa arganii dinqifatan.
But Peter remained knocking: and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished.
17 Phexrosis akka isaan calʼisaniif harkaan itti hime; akka itti Gooftaan mana hidhaatii isa baases isaanitti odeesse; innis, “Waan kana Yaaqoobii fi obbolootatti himaa” isaaniin jedhe; achii kaʼees lafa biraa dhaqe.
And he, beckoning to them with his hand to keep silent, related how the Lord led him out from the prison: and said, Proclaim these things to James, and the brethren. And having gone out, he departed into another place.
18 Yommuu bariʼetti raafamni guddaan isaa loltoota gidduutti uumame; isaanis, “Phexros maal taʼe?” jedhanii wal gaggaafatan.
And it being day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to where Peter then was.
19 Heroodisis cimsee barbaadee isa dhabnaan eegdota sana jabeessee qoree akka isaan ajjeefaman ajaje. Heroodis Yihuudaadhaa kaʼee Qiisaariyaatti gad buʼee xinnoo achi jiraate.
And Herod having sought him, and found him not, condemning the guards, commanded that they should be put to death; and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he tarried.
20 Innis warra Xiiroosii fi Siidoonaatti akka malee aare; isaanis tajaajilaa mootichaa amanamaa Bilaasxoos jedhamu tokko michoomfatanii tokkummaan gara mootichaa dhaqanii araara kadhatan; biyyi isaanii biyya mooticha sanaa irraa midhaan nyaataa argachaa jiraatteetii.
And he was very angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians: and they unanimously came to him, and having persuaded Blastus who was over the chamber of the king, they continued to seek peace; because their country is supported by the kings.
21 Guyyaa beellamaattis Heroodis uffata mootii uffatee teessoo isaa irra taaʼe; uummatattis dubbate.
But on an appointed day, Herod, invested with his royal apparel, sitting on his tribunal, delivered a discourse to them:
22 Namoonnis, “Kun sagalee Waaqaati malee sagalee namaa miti” jedhanii iyyan.
and the people shouted, It is the voice of God and not of man.
23 Heroodisis waan Waaqaaf ulfina hin kenniniif yeruma sana ergamaan Waaqaa tokko isa dhaʼe; innis raammoodhaan nyaatamee duʼe.
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not the glory to God; and being eaten by worms, he breathed out his soul.
24 Dubbiin Waaqaa garuu ittuma fufee guddachaa, babalʼachaas deeme.
And the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
25 Barnaabaasii fi Saaʼol erga ergama isaanii fixatanii booddee Yohannis isa Maarqos jedhamu sana fudhatanii Yerusaalemii deebiʼan.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having filled their ministry, taking with them John, called Mark.
