Hojii 15
1 Namoonni tokko tokko Yihuudaa gara Anxookiiyaatti gad buʼanii, “Isin yoo akkuma seera Museetti dhagna qabachuu baattan fayyuu hin dandeessan” jedhanii obboloota barsiisaa turan.
And some coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved.
2 Kunis akka Phaawulosii fi Barnaabaas jara wajjin wal diddaa fi wal morkii cimaa keessa seenan isaan godhe; kanaaf Phaawulosii fi Barnaabaas waaʼee dubbii kanaatiif jedhanii akka Yerusaalemitti ol baʼanii ergamootaa fi maanguddoota bira dhaqaniif amantoota tokko tokko wajjin filataman.
And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of the other side, should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem about this question.
3 Waldaan kiristaanaas isaan ergite; isaanis akka Namoonni Ormaa Waaqatti deebiʼan odeessaa Finiiqee fi Samaariyaa keessa darban. Oduun kunis obboloota hunda akka malee gammachiise.
They therefore being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice, and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
4 Yommuu isaan Yerusaalem gaʼanitti waldaan kiristaanaa, ergamoonnii fi maanguddoonni isaan simatan; isaanis waan Waaqni karaa isaaniitiin hojjete hunda jaratti himan.
And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them.
5 Amantoonni garee Fariisotaa tokko tokko garuu kaʼanii dhaabatanii, “Namoonni Ormaa dhagna qabachuu qaban; akka seera Musee eeganiifis itti himamuu qaba” jedhan.
But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses.
6 Ergamoonnii fi maanguddoonni dubbii kana ilaaluuf walitti qabaman.
And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.
7 Phexrosis falmii guddaan booddee kaʼee dhaabatee akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yaa obboloota, isin akka Waaqni yeroo gabaabaan dura akka Namoonni Ormaa afaan koo irraa dubbii wangeelaa dhagaʼanii amananiif jedhee isinuma keessaa na filate beektu.
And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 Waaqni yaada garaa namaa beeku sun akkuma nuuf kenne sanatti isaaniifis Hafuura Qulqulluu kennuudhaan akka isaan simate mirkaneesse.
And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;
9 Innis sababii garaa isaanii amantiin qulqulleesseef, nuu fi isaan gidduutti garaa garummaa tokko illee hin goone.
And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Yoos maaliif waanjoo nus abbootiin keenyas baachuu hin dandaʼin morma barattootaa irra kaaʼuudhaan Waaqa qortu ree?
Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 Nu akka ayyaana Gooftaa keenya Yesuusiitiin fayyinu ni amanna; isaanis akkasuma ni fayyu.”
But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.
12 Yommuu Barnaabaasii fi Phaawulos waaʼee mallattoo fi dinqii Waaqni harka isaaniitiin Namoota Ormaa keessatti hojjete sanaa dubbatanitti yaaʼiin guutuun calʼisee isaan dhagaʼaa ture.
And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 Erga isaan dubbatanii fixanii booddees Yaaqoob akkana jedhe; “Yaa obboloota, mee na dhaggeeffadhaa!
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.
14 Simoonis akka Waaqni duraan dursee Namoota Ormaa keessaa saba tokko ofii isaatii filachuun jaalala isaa argisiise nutti himeera.
Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.
15 Dubbiin raajotaas waan kana wajjin walii gala; innis akkana jedhamee barreeffameera:
And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written:
16 “‘Kana booddee ani nan deebiʼa; dunkaana Daawit kan kufe sana deebisee nan ijaara; diigamaa isaa immoo deebisee nan ijaara; deebisees nan dhaaba;
After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and the ruins thereof I will rebuild, and I will set it up:
17 kunis akka namoonni hafan jechuunis, Namoonni Ormaa warri maqaa kootiin waamaman hundinuu gooftaa barbaadaniif’
That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.
To the Lord was his own work known from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 “Kanaaf nu akka murtii kootiitti Namoota Ormaa kanneen Waaqatti deebiʼan rakkisuu hin qabnu.
For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.
20 Qooda kanaa akka isaan nyaata waaqonni tolfamoon xureessan, sagaagalummaa, foon horii hudhamee duʼeetii fi dhiiga lagataniif xalayaa barreessinee itti himuu qabna.
But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 Seerri Musee dhaloota duriitii jalqabee magaalaa hunda keessatti lallabamaa ture; manneen sagadaa keessattis Sanbata Sanbata ni dubbifama.”
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.
22 Yommus ergamoonnii fi maanguddoonni miseensota waldaa kiristaanaa guutuu wajjin tokko taʼanii namoota isaanii keessaa tokko tokko filatanii Phaawulosii fi Barnaabaas wajjin gara Anxookiiyaatti erguu murteessan; isaanis namoota lama jechuunis Yihuudaa isa Barsiyaan jedhamuu fi Siilaas kanneen obboloota keessatti dura buʼoota turan sana filatan.
Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.
23 Xalayaa armaan gad jiru kanas isaanitti ergan: Obboloota keessan, ergamootaa fi maanguddoota irraa; Gara Namoota Ormaa kanneen amanan warra Anxookiiyaa, Sooriyaa fi Kiilqiyaa keessa jiraataniitti; Nagaa isinii dhaamna.
Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
24 Nu akka namoonni tokko tokko eeyyama keenya malee nu biraa baʼanii waan dubbataniin qalbii isin raasanii isin jeeqan dhageenyeerra.
Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment:
25 Kanaafuu nu hundi namoota tokko tokko filannee obboloota keenya jaallatamoo Barnaabaasii fi Phaawulos jechuunis
It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:
26 namoota maqaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiitiif jedhanii jireenya isaanii kennan isinitti erguuf walii galle.
Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Kanaafuu akka isaan waanuma nu barreessine sana dubbii afaaniitiin isinii mirkaneessaniif jennee Yihuudaa fi Siilaasin ergineerra.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
28 Waan barbaachisaa armaan gad jiru kana malee akka nu baʼaa tokko illee isin irra hin keenye Hafuurri Qulqulluun jaallateera; nus itti gammanneerra;
For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:
29 kunis akka isin nyaata waaqota tolfamoof aarsaa dhiʼeeffamu, dhiiga, foon horii hudhamee duʼeetii fi sagaagalummaa lagattanii dha. Isin yoo waan kana irraa of eegdan, waan qajeelaa hojjettan. Nagaatti.
That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.
30 Jarri sunis ergamanii Anxookiiyaatti gad buʼan; achittis amantoota walitti qabanii xalayaa sana itti kennan.
They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.
31 Amantoonnis yommuu xalayaa sana dubbisanitti gorsa jajjabeessaa sanatti ni gammadan.
Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 Yihuudaa fi Siilaas warri mataan isaanii iyyuu raajota turan sun dubbii baayʼeen obboloota gorsanii jajjabeessan.
But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.
33 Erga isaan yeroo gabaabaa achi turanii booddees, obboloonni akka isaan warra isaan erganitti deebiʼaniif nagaan isaan geggeessan. [
And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them.
34 Siilaas immoo achumatti hafuu murteesse.]
But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
35 Phaawulosii fi Barnaabaas garuu Anxookiiyaatti hafanii namoota biraa hedduu wajjin dubbii Gooftaa barsiisan; ni lallabanis.
And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
36 Phaawulosis bultii gabaabduu booddee Barnaabaasiin, “Mee kottu, magaalaawwan itti dubbii Gooftaa lallabne hundatti deebinee obboloota dubbifnaa; haala isaan keessa jiranis ni ilaallaa!” jedhe.
And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.
37 Barnaabaasis Yohannis isa Maarqos jedhamu sana isaan wajjin fudhatee deemuu barbaade.
And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;
38 Phaawulos garuu sababii Maarqos isaan wajjin hojiitti fufuu didee Phamfiliyaatti isaan dhiisee deemeef akka inni isaan wajjin deemu hin jaallanne.
But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.
39 Kana irratti waldhabiisni guddaan gidduu isaaniitti uumamnaan gargar baʼan; Barnaabaasis Maarqosin fudhatee dooniidhaan Qophiroositti qajeele.
And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
40 Phaawulos immoo Siilaasin filatee erga obboloonni dabarsanii ayyaana gooftaatti isa kennanii booddee kaʼee deeme.
But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.
41 Innis waldoota kiristaanaa jajjabeessaa Sooriyaa fi Kiilqiyaa keessa darbe.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
