Hojii 13
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 there were at Antioch, in the church that was [there], prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and 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.
And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3 Kanaaf isaan erga soomanii kadhatanii booddee harka isaanii jara irra kaaʼanii isaan ergan.
Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 Isaan lachuu Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ergamanii Seluuqiyaatti gad buʼan; achiis kaʼanii dooniin Qophiroos dhaqan.
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Yommuu Salaamiis gaʼanittis manneen sagadaa Yihuudootaa keessatti dubbii Waaqaa lallaban; Yohannisis isaan gargaaruuf isaan bira ture.
And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant.
6 Isaanis yommuu biyyoota bishaaniin marfaman sana hundumaa keessa baʼanii hamma Phaafoositti dhufanitti, Yihuudii falfaltichaa fi raajii sobaa kan maqaan isaa Baaryesuus jedhamu tokkotti dhufan.
And when they had gone through the whole island unto 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. The same called unto him 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 aside the proconsul 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, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou 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.
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some 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: and 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 through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and 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.
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
16 Phaawulos kaʼee dhaabatee harkaan mallattoo argisiisee akkana jedhe; “Yaa namoota Israaʼel, isin warri Waaqa sodaattanis mee na dhagaʼaa!
And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:
17 Waaqni saba Israaʼel abbootii keenya filate; innis yeroo isaan biyya Gibxi jiraachaa turanitti sabicha saba guddaa godhe; irree jabaanis achii isaan baase;
The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.
18 gammoojjii keessattis gara waggaa afurtamaa isaanii obse.
And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness.
19 Biyya Kanaʼaan keessaas saboota torba balleessee lafa isaanii akka dhaalaatti saba isaatiif kenne.
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave [them] their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:
20 Wanni kun hundinuu gara waggaa 450 fudhatte. “Kana booddees Waaqni hamma bara Saamuʼeel raajichaatti abbootii murtii isaaniif kenne.
and after these things he gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet.
21 Yommuu isaan akka inni mootii kennuufiif isa kadhatanitti Waaqni gosa Beniyaam keessaa Saaʼol ilma Qiishi isaaniif kenne; Saaʼolis waggaa 40 isaan bulche.
And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.
22 Waaqni Saaʼolin mootummaa irraa buusee Daawitin mootii isaanii godhe; innis, ‘Ani nama akka garaa koo Daawit ilma Isseey argadheera; inni waan ani akka inni hojjetu fedhu hunda ni hojjeta’ jedhee waaʼee Daawit rageesseera.
And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.
23 “Waaqnis akkuma abdachiise sana, sanyii nama kanaa keessaa Yesuus fayyisaa saba Israaʼeliif fide.
Of this man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
24 Yohannis dhufaatii Yesuus duratti cuuphaa qalbii jijjiirrannaa saba Israaʼel hundumatti lallabee ture.
when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 Yohannisis utuu ergama isaa guutachaa jiruu, ‘Isin eenyu na seetu? Ani isa isin eeggachaa jirtan miti. Garuu namni ani kophee isaa illee hiikuu hin malle tokko na duubaan ni dhufa’ jedhe.
And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.
26 “Obboloota, yaa ijoollee Abrahaam, isin warri Waaqa sodaattanis, dubbiin fayyina kanaa nuu ergame.
Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.
27 Warra Yerusaalem keessa jiraatanii fi bulchitoonni isaanii waan Yesuusin hin beekiniif yookaan dubbii raajotaa isa Sanbata Sanbata dubbifamu waan hin hubatiniif isatti muruudhaan dubbii raajotaa sana guutan.
For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled [them] by condemning [him].
28 Isaanis yoo sababii duʼa isatti mursiisuu dandaʼu argachuu baatan illee akka Yesuus ajjeefamuuf Phiilaaxoosin kadhatan.
And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.
29 Erga waan waaʼee isaa barreeffame hunda guutatanii booddees fannoo irraa gad buusanii awwaala keessa isa kaaʼan.
And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.
30 Waaqni garuu warra duʼan keessaa isa kaase.
But God raised him from the dead:
31 Innis warra isa wajjin Galiilaadhaa gara Yerusaalemitti ol baʼanitti guyyaa hedduu mulʼate; isaanis amma saba keenya duratti dhuga baatota isaa ti.
and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.
32 “Nus oduu nama gammachiisu isinitti odeessina; oduun kunis: Waaqni waan abbootii keenya abdachiise sana,
And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto 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.’
that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34 Wanni Waaqni, akka inni gonkumaa hin tortorreef jedhee warra duʼan keessaa isa kaaseef akkana jedhamee dubbii kana keessatti barreeffameera; “‘Ani eebba qulqulluu fi mirkanaaʼaa, isa Daawit abdachiifame sana isiniif nan kenna.’
And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure [blessings] of David.
35 Akkasumas iddoo biraatti akkana jedha: “‘Qulqullichi kee akka tortoru hin gootu.’
Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give thy Holy One to see corruption.
36 “Daawitis bara isaa keessa fedhii Waaqaa tajaajilee boqote; abbootii isaa biratti awwaalame; dhagni isaas ni tortore.
For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 Inni Waaqni warra duʼan keessaa isa kaase sun garuu hin tortorre.
but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.
38 “Kanaaf yaa obboloota ko, isin akka karaa Yesuusiitiin dhiifamni cubbuu isinitti lallabame akka beektan nan fedha.
Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:
39 Namni amanu hundinuu waan seera Museetiin furamuu hin dandaʼin hunda irraa karaa Yesuusiitiin furamuu ni dandaʼa.
and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Isinis akka wanni raajonni dubbatan sun isin irra hin geenyeef of eeggadhaa; innis akkana jedha:
Beware therefore, lest that come upon [you] which is spoken in the prophets:
41 “‘Ilaalaa, isin qoostota nana; dinqisiifadhaa; dhumaas; ani bara keessan keessa waan isin yoo namni tokko isinitti hime illee hin amanne tokko nan hojjedha.’”
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.
42 Utuu Phaawulosii fi Barnaabaas mana sagadaatii baʼuutti jiranuu namoonni sun akka isaan Sanbata itti aanu illee deebiʼanii dubbii sana lallabaniif isaan kadhatan.
And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken 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.
And 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)
And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Gooftaan akkana jedhee nu ajajeeraatii; “‘Ani akka ati Namoota Ormaatiif ifa taatee, hamma qarqara lafaatti fayyina geessituuf si filadheera.’”
For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.
48 Namoonni Ormaas yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti gammadanii dubbii Gooftaa ulfeessan; warri jireenya bara baraatiif filataman hundinuus ni amanan. (aiōnios g166)
And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Dubbiin Gooftaas naannoo sana hunda keessatti facaafame.
And the word of the Lord 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 urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast 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 unto Iconium.
52 Barattoonnis gammachuu fi Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutaman.
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
