Hojii 12
1 Baruma sana keessa Heroodis mootichi isaan ariʼachuuf jedhee miseensota waldaa kiristaanaa tokko tokko qabe.
Now, in the course of that season, Herod the king thrust forth his hands to harm some of them of the assembly, —
2 Innis Yaaqoob obboleessa Yohannis goraadeen ajjeese.
And 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 was acceptable unto the Jews, he went on to apprehend Peter also (now they 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.
Whom also having seized, he put into prison, delivering him up unto four quaternions of soldiers, to be guarding him, —intending, after the passover, to bring him up unto the people.
5 Kanaafuu Phexros mana hidhaa keessatti eegamaa ture; waldaan kiristaanaa garuu jabeessitee waaʼee isaatiif Waaqa kadhachaa turte.
Peter, therefore, was kept in the prison; but, prayer, was, earnestly, being made by the assembly, unto God, concerning 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 was about to bring him forth, on that night, was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, guards, also, before the door, were keeping 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 lo! a messenger of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in the cell; and, smiting the side of Peter, he roused him up, saying—Rise up quickly! And his chains fell off out of 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 messenger said unto him—Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him—Throw around thee thy mantle, and be following 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, coming out, he began following, and knew not that it was true which was coming about through means of the messenger; but supposed that, a vision, he was beholding.
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, passing through the first ward and the second, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city, the which, of its own accord, opened unto them; and, coming out, they went on through one street, and, straightway, the messenger was parted 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, know I, of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his messenger, and taken me out of the hand of Herod, and 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, considering the matter, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John who was surnamed Mark, where a considerable number were gathered together and praying.
13 Yommuu Phexros balbala alaa rurrukutetti intalli hojjettuun Roodaa jedhamtu tokko ilaaluu dhufte.
And, when he had knocked at the door of the porch, there came unto it a maiden to hearken, by name Rhoda;
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, by reason of her joy, she opened not the porch, —but, running in, bare tidings that Peter was standing before the porch. But, they, unto her, said—Thou art raving
15 Isaanis, “Ati maraatteerta!” jedhaniin; isheen garuu cimsitee akka wanni kun akkasuma taʼe dubbatte; isaan immoo, “Yoos ergamaa isaa ti!” jedhan.
She, however, kept on strongly declaring that, so, it was. But, they, were saying—It is his, messenger.
16 Phexros garuu ittuma fufee balbalicha rurrukute; isaanis yommuu bananitti, isa arganii dinqifatan.
And, Peter, continued knocking; and, opening, they saw him, and were amazed.
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, making a sign to them with his hand to hold their peace, he related to them how, the Lord, had brought, him, forth out of the prison; and he said—Carry tidings unto James and the brethren, as to these things. And, going out, he went his way unto some other place.
18 Yommuu bariʼetti raafamni guddaan isaa loltoota gidduutti uumame; isaanis, “Phexros maal taʼe?” jedhanii wal gaggaafatan.
And, when it became day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what, then, Peter had become!
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, seeking after and not finding, him, having examined the guards, ordered them to be led away [to death]; and, going down from Judaea unto Caesarea, stayed there.
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.
Now he was bitterly hostile to them of Tyre and Zidon; but, with one accord, they came unto him, and, persuading Blastus, who was over the bed-chamber of the king, they were suing for peace; because their country was fed by the king’s,
21 Guyyaa beellamaattis Heroodis uffata mootii uffatee teessoo isaa irra taaʼe; uummatattis dubbate.
And, on an appointed day, Herod, putting on royal apparel, and seating himself upon the tribunal, proceeded to deliver an oration unto them.
22 Namoonnis, “Kun sagalee Waaqaati malee sagalee namaa miti” jedhanii iyyan.
And, the populace, began to shout—A god’s, voice, and not, a man’s!
23 Heroodisis waan Waaqaaf ulfina hin kenniniif yeruma sana ergamaan Waaqaa tokko isa dhaʼe; innis raammoodhaan nyaatamee duʼe.
And, instantly, there smote him, a messenger of the Lord, because he gave not the glory unto God; and, becoming worm-eaten, he expired.
24 Dubbiin Waaqaa garuu ittuma fufee guddachaa, babalʼachaas deeme.
And, the word of the Lord, went on growing and multiplying.
25 Barnaabaasii fi Saaʼol erga ergama isaanii fixatanii booddee Yohannis isa Maarqos jedhamu sana fudhatanii Yerusaalemii deebiʼan.
And, Barnabas and Saul, returned unto Jerusalem, fulfilling the ministering, taking with them John who was surnamed Mark.
