Hojii 12
1 Baruma sana keessa Heroodis mootichi isaan ariʼachuuf jedhee miseensota waldaa kiristaanaa tokko tokko qabe.
Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the assembly.
2 Innis Yaaqoob obboleessa Yohannis goraadeen ajjeese.
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 Yommuu akka wanni kun Yihuudoota gammachiise argettis, ittuma fufee Phexrosinis qabsiise. Wanni kunis yeroo Ayyaana Maxinoo keessa taʼe.
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Kepha also. (Then were the days of 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.
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Passover to bring him forth to the people.
5 Kanaafuu Phexros mana hidhaa keessatti eegamaa ture; waldaan kiristaanaa garuu jabeessitee waaʼee isaatiif Waaqa kadhachaa turte.
Kepha therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the assembly unto YHWH for him.
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.
And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Kepha was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
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 YHWH came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Kepha on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise 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 unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment 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 he went out, and followed him; and knew not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought 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.
When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel 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 when Kepha was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that YHWH hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from 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 when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
13 Yommuu Phexros balbala alaa rurrukutetti intalli hojjettuun Roodaa jedhamtu tokko ilaaluu dhufte.
And as Kepha knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14 Isheenis yommuu sagalee Phexros hubattetti akka malee gammadde; balbala banuu dhiiftees fiigdee ol deebitee akka Phexros balbala dura dhaabatu himte.
And when she knew Kepha's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Kepha stood 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 unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
16 Phexros garuu ittuma fufee balbalicha rurrukute; isaanis yommuu bananitti, isa arganii dinqifatan.
But Kepha continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they 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.
But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how YHWH had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
18 Yommuu bariʼetti raafamni guddaan isaa loltoota gidduutti uumame; isaanis, “Phexros maal taʼe?” jedhanii wal gaggaafatan.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Kepha.
19 Heroodisis cimsee barbaadee isa dhabnaan eegdota sana jabeessee qoree akka isaan ajjeefaman ajaje. Heroodis Yihuudaadhaa kaʼee Qiisaariyaatti gad buʼee xinnoo achi jiraate.
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
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 Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.
21 Guyyaa beellamaattis Heroodis uffata mootii uffatee teessoo isaa irra taaʼe; uummatattis dubbate.
And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 Namoonnis, “Kun sagalee Waaqaati malee sagalee namaa miti” jedhanii iyyan.
And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a mighty one, and not of a man.
23 Heroodisis waan Waaqaaf ulfina hin kenniniif yeruma sana ergamaan Waaqaa tokko isa dhaʼe; innis raammoodhaan nyaatamee duʼe.
And immediately the angel of YHWH smote him, because he gave not YHWH the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the spirit.
24 Dubbiin Waaqaa garuu ittuma fufee guddachaa, babalʼachaas deeme.
But the word of YHWH grew 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, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
