1 Waldaa kiristaanaa Anxookiiyaa keessa Raajotaa fi barsiistotatu ture; isaanis Barnaabaas, Simiʼoon isa Niiger jedhamu, Luukiyoos nama Qareenaa, Maanaaʼen isa Heroodis bulchaa sana wajjin guddatee fi Saaʼol faʼa.
Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Utuu isaan Gooftaa tajaajilaa, soomaas jiranuu Hafuurri Qulqulluun, “Barnaabaasii fi Saaʼolin hojii ani itti isaan waammadheef naa filaa” jedhe.
As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”

Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.

When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,
7 Innis namicha hubataa bulchaa biyyaa taʼe kan Sergiyoos Phaawulos jedhamu tokko wajjin ture. Bulchaan sunis waan dubbii Waaqaa dhagaʼuu barbaadeef nama ergee Barnaabaasii fi Saaʼolin waamsifate.
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
8 Eliimaas falfaltichi kan hiikkaan maqaa isaa afaan Giriikiin akkasuma taʼe sun garuu bulchaa biyyaa sana amantii irraa deebisuuf jedhee isaaniin morme.
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 Saaʼol inni Phaawulos jedhamu sun garuu Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutamee Eelimaasin hubatee ilaalee akkana jedheen;
But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
10 “Ati ilma diiyaabiloosii fi diina qajeelummaa hundaa ti! Sobaa fi gowwoomsaa gosa hundaatiinis guutamteerta. Ati karaa Gooftaa isa qajeelaa sana jalʼisuu hin dhiiftuu?
and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Kunoo amma harki Gooftaa sitti kaʼeera; atis jaamtee yeroof ifa aduu arguu ni dadhabda.” Yeruma sana hurrii fi dukkanni isa irra buʼe; innis nama harka qabee isa qajeelchu barbaaduu jalqabe.
Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
12 Bulchaan biyyaa sunis waan kana arginaan amane; barsiisa waaʼee Gooftaa dinqifatee tureetii.
Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Phaawulosii fi miiltonni isaa Phaafoosii bidiruudhaan kaʼanii Phergeen ishee Phamfiliyaa sana dhaqan; Yohannisis achitti isaan dhiisee Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.
Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Isaan garuu Phergeenii kaʼanii gara Anxookiiyaa ishee Phisiidiyaatti argamtuu dhufan; guyyaa Sanbataas mana sagadaa seenanii tataaʼan.
But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
15 Bulchitoonni mana sagadaa sanaas erga kitaabonni Seeraatii fi Raajotaa dubbifamanii booddee nama isaanitti erganii, “Yaa obboloota, yoo dubbii gorsaa uummataaf qabaattan mee dubbadhaa” jedhaniin.

As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 “Nus oduu nama gammachiisu isinitti odeessina; oduun kunis: Waaqni waan abbootii keenya abdachiise sana,
We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
33 Yesuusin duʼaa kaasuudhaan nuu ijoollee isaaniitiif guuteera. Kunis akkuma faarfannaa lammaffaa keessatti akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha; “‘Ati ilma koo ti; ani harʼa si dhalcheera.’

42 Utuu Phaawulosii fi Barnaabaas mana sagadaatii baʼuutti jiranuu namoonni sun akka isaan Sanbata itti aanu illee deebiʼanii dubbii sana lallabaniif isaan kadhatan.
So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
43 Erga wal gaʼiin mana sagadaa bittinnaaʼee booddee, Yihuudoonnii fi namoonni amantii Yihuudootaa fudhatanii itti bulan baayʼeen isaan duukaa buʼan; Phaawulosii fi Barnaabaasis jara sana wajjin dudubbatanii akka isaan ayyaana Waaqaatti jiraataniif cimsanii isaan gorsan.
Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Sanbata itti aanutti nama muraasa malee uummanni magaalaa sanaa guutuun dubbii Gooftaa dhagaʼuuf walitti qabame.
The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
45 Yihuudoonni garuu uummata baayʼee arganii hinaaffaan guutaman; Phaawulosinis arrabsanii waan inni dubbateen morman.
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
46 Phaawulosii fi Barnaabaasis akkana jedhanii sodaa malee deebii kennaniif; “Nu duraan dursinee dubbii Waaqaa isinitti himuu qabna ture; isin garuu dubbii sana diddanii akka jireenyi bara baraa isiniif hin malleetti waan of heddaniif kunoo, nu amma gara Namoota Ormaatti gara galla. (aiōnios g166)
Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of consummate (aiōnios g166) life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 Gooftaan akkana jedhee nu ajajeeraatii; “‘Ani akka ati Namoota Ormaatiif ifa taatee, hamma qarqara lafaatti fayyina geessituuf si filadheera.’”
For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
48 Namoonni Ormaas yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti gammadanii dubbii Gooftaa ulfeessan; warri jireenya bara baraatiif filataman hundinuus ni amanan. (aiōnios g166)
As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to consummate (aiōnios g166) life believed.
49 Dubbiin Gooftaas naannoo sana hunda keessatti facaafame.
The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
50 Yihuudoonni garuu dubartoota bebeekamoo Waaqa sodaatanii fi dura buʼoota magaalattii isaanitti tuttuqan; isaanis Phaawulosii fi Barnaabaas irratti ariʼatama kaasanii biyya isaanii keessaa isaan baasan.
But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
51 Isaan garuu akka akeekkachiisa isaaniif taʼuuf, awwaara miilla isaanii dhadhaʼatanii Iqooniyoonitti qajeelan.
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
