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.
Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised after the custom 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.
Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the emissaries and elders 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, being sent on their way by the congregation, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the non-Jewish people. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
4 Yommuu isaan Yerusaalem gaʼanitti waldaan kiristaanaa, ergamoonnii fi maanguddoonni isaan simatan; isaanis waan Waaqni karaa isaaniitiin hojjete hunda jaratti himan.
When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the congregation and the emissaries and the elders, and they reported all things that 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 some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses."
6 Ergamoonnii fi maanguddoonni dubbii kana ilaaluuf walitti qabaman.
The emissaries and the elders were gathered together to see about 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.
When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News, and believe.
8 Waaqni yaada garaa namaa beeku sun akkuma nuuf kenne sanatti isaaniifis Hafuura Qulqulluu kennuudhaan akka isaan simate mirkaneesse.
God, who knows the heart, testified about them by giving the Ruach ha-Kodesh, just like he did to us.
9 Innis sababii garaa isaanii amantiin qulqulleesseef, nuu fi isaan gidduutti garaa garummaa tokko illee hin goone.
He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
10 Yoos maaliif waanjoo nus abbootiin keenyas baachuu hin dandaʼin morma barattootaa irra kaaʼuudhaan Waaqa qortu ree?
Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the talmidim which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Nu akka ayyaana Gooftaa keenya Yesuusiitiin fayyinu ni amanna; isaanis akkasuma ni fayyu.”
But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Yeshua, just as they are."
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 people kept quiet, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
13 Erga isaan dubbatanii fixanii booddees Yaaqoob akkana jedhe; “Yaa obboloota, mee na dhaggeeffadhaa!
After they were silent, Jacob answered, "Brothers, listen to me.
14 Simoonis akka Waaqni duraan dursee Namoota Ormaa keessaa saba tokko ofii isaatii filachuun jaalala isaa argisiise nutti himeera.
Shim'on has reported how God first visited the nations, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 Dubbiin raajotaas waan kana wajjin walii gala; innis akkana jedhamee barreeffameera:
This agrees with 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 I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,
17 kunis akka namoonni hafan jechuunis, Namoonni Ormaa warri maqaa kootiin waamaman hundinuu gooftaa barbaadaniif’
that the rest of humanity may seek after the Lord, and all the nations who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things
known from long ago.' (aiōn g165)
19 “Kanaaf nu akka murtii kootiitti Namoota Ormaa kanneen Waaqatti deebiʼan rakkisuu hin qabnu.
"Therefore my judgment is that we do not trouble those from among the non-Jewish people who turn to God,
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 to them that they abstain from things defiled by idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 Seerri Musee dhaloota duriitii jalqabee magaalaa hunda keessatti lallabamaa ture; manneen sagadaa keessattis Sanbata Sanbata ni dubbifama.”
For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who proclaim him, being read in the synagogues 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 seemed good to the emissaries and the elders, with the whole congregation, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judah called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
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.
They wrote these things by their hand: "The emissaries, the elders, and the brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers who are in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
24 Nu akka namoonni tokko tokko eeyyama keenya malee nu biraa baʼanii waan dubbataniin qalbii isin raasanii isin jeeqan dhageenyeerra.
Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, to whom we gave no commandment;
25 Kanaafuu nu hundi namoota tokko tokko filannee obboloota keenya jaallatamoo Barnaabaasii fi Phaawulos jechuunis
it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 namoota maqaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiitiif jedhanii jireenya isaanii kennan isinitti erguuf walii galle.
who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
27 Kanaafuu akka isaan waanuma nu barreessine sana dubbii afaaniitiin isinii mirkaneessaniif jennee Yihuudaa fi Siilaasin ergineerra.
We have sent therefore Judah and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
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 seemed good to the Ruach ha-Kodesh, and to us, to lay no greater burden on 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, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell."
30 Jarri sunis ergamanii Anxookiiyaatti gad buʼan; achittis amantoota walitti qabanii xalayaa sana itti kennan.
So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
31 Amantoonnis yommuu xalayaa sana dubbisanitti gorsa jajjabeessaa sanatti ni gammadan.
When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
32 Yihuudaa fi Siilaas warri mataan isaanii iyyuu raajota turan sun dubbii baayʼeen obboloota gorsanii jajjabeessan.
Judah and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words, and strengthened them.
33 Erga isaan yeroo gabaabaa achi turanii booddees, obboloonni akka isaan warra isaan erganitti deebiʼaniif nagaan isaan geggeessan. [
After they had spent some time there, they were sent back with greetings from the brothers to those that had sent them forth.
34 Siilaas immoo achumatti hafuu murteesse.]
However, Silas decided to remain there.
35 Phaawulosii fi Barnaabaas garuu Anxookiiyaatti hafanii namoota biraa hedduu wajjin dubbii Gooftaa barsiisan; ni lallabanis.
And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 Phaawulosis bultii gabaabduu booddee Barnaabaasiin, “Mee kottu, magaalaawwan itti dubbii Gooftaa lallabne hundatti deebinee obboloota dubbifnaa; haala isaan keessa jiranis ni ilaallaa!” jedhe.
After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing."
37 Barnaabaasis Yohannis isa Maarqos jedhamu sana isaan wajjin fudhatee deemuu barbaade.
Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
38 Phaawulos garuu sababii Maarqos isaan wajjin hojiitti fufuu didee Phamfiliyaatti isaan dhiisee deemeef akka inni isaan wajjin deemu hin jaallanne.
But Paul did not think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and did not go with them to do the work.
39 Kana irratti waldhabiisni guddaan gidduu isaaniitti uumamnaan gargar baʼan; Barnaabaasis Maarqosin fudhatee dooniidhaan Qophiroositti qajeele.
Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,
40 Phaawulos immoo Siilaasin filatee erga obboloonni dabarsanii ayyaana gooftaatti isa kennanii booddee kaʼee deeme.
but Paul chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
41 Innis waldoota kiristaanaa jajjabeessaa Sooriyaa fi Kiilqiyaa keessa darbe.
He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the congregations.
