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.
Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers: “If you are not circumcised according to 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 a great dissension and debate with them, the brothers appointed Paul and Barnabas and some others from among the believers to go up to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem to discuss this issue.
3 Waldaan kiristaanaas isaan ergite; isaanis akka Namoonni Ormaa Waaqatti deebiʼan odeessaa Finiiqee fi Samaariyaa keessa darban. Oduun kunis obboloota hunda akka malee gammachiise.
After being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria and brought great joy to all the brothers when they described in detail the conversion of the Gentiles.
4 Yommuu isaan Yerusaalem gaʼanitti waldaan kiristaanaa, ergamoonnii fi maanguddoonni isaan simatan; isaanis waan Waaqni karaa isaaniitiin hojjete hunda jaratti himan.
When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, the apostles, and the elders, and they reported all that God had done through 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 believers who belonged to the sect of the Pharisees stood up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise the Gentiles and command them to keep the law of Moses.”
6 Ergamoonnii fi maanguddoonni dubbii kana ilaaluuf walitti qabaman.
So the apostles and the elders gathered together to consider 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.
After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among us, that by the words of my mouth the Gentiles would hear the message 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 knows the heart, testified to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as 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, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Yoos maaliif waanjoo nus abbootiin keenyas baachuu hin dandaʼin morma barattootaa irra kaaʼuudhaan Waaqa qortu ree?
Now then, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 Nu akka ayyaana Gooftaa keenya Yesuusiitiin fayyinu ni amanna; isaanis akkasuma ni fayyu.”
On the contrary, we believe that we are saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way 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.
Then the entire assembly fell silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul tell of all the signs and wonders God had performed through them among the Gentiles.
13 Erga isaan dubbatanii fixanii booddees Yaaqoob akkana jedhe; “Yaa obboloota, mee na dhaggeeffadhaa!
When they had finished speaking, James replied, “Brothers, listen to me.
14 Simoonis akka Waaqni duraan dursee Namoota Ormaa keessaa saba tokko ofii isaatii filachuun jaalala isaa argisiise nutti himeera.
Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from among them a people for his name.
15 Dubbiin raajotaas waan kana wajjin walii gala; innis akkana jedhamee barreeffameera:
The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, just 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 this I will return and rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins and erect it again,
17 kunis akka namoonni hafan jechuunis, Namoonni Ormaa warri maqaa kootiin waamaman hundinuu gooftaa barbaadaniif’
so that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
All God's works are known to him 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 not create difficulties for those among the Gentiles 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, telling them to abstain from things defiled by idols, from fornication, from what has been strangled, and from blood.
21 Seerri Musee dhaloota duriitii jalqabee magaalaa hunda keessatti lallabamaa ture; manneen sagadaa keessattis Sanbata Sanbata ni dubbifama.”
For from generations of old, Moses has had those who preach him in every city, because he is 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 apostles and to the elders, together with the whole church, to send men chosen from among them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, leading 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.
and to send with them this letter they had written: “The apostles, elders, and brothers, to the Gentile brothers 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.
Since we have heard that certain men, whom we did not authorize, have gone out from us and troubled you with their words, unsettling your minds by saying that you must be circumcised and keep the law,
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 send you men chosen from among us, along 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 Jesus Christ.
27 Kanaafuu akka isaan waanuma nu barreessine sana dubbii afaaniitiin isinii mirkaneessaniif jennee Yihuudaa fi Siilaasin ergineerra.
Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who will tell you the same things in their own words.
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 Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no further burden than these essentials:
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.
You must abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what has been strangled, and from fornication. If you keep yourselves from these things, you will do well. Farewell.”
30 Jarri sunis ergamanii Anxookiiyaatti gad buʼan; achittis amantoota walitti qabanii xalayaa sana itti kennan.
So when these men had been sent off, they went to Antioch, and after gathering the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
31 Amantoonnis yommuu xalayaa sana dubbisanitti gorsa jajjabeessaa sanatti ni gammadan.
When the people read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement.
32 Yihuudaa fi Siilaas warri mataan isaanii iyyuu raajota turan sun dubbii baayʼeen obboloota gorsanii jajjabeessan.
Then Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many words.
33 Erga isaan yeroo gabaabaa achi turanii booddees, obboloonni akka isaan warra isaan erganitti deebiʼaniif nagaan isaan geggeessan. [
After spending some time there, they were sent off to the apostles in peace by the brothers.
34 Siilaas immoo achumatti hafuu murteesse.]
35 Phaawulosii fi Barnaabaas garuu Anxookiiyaatti hafanii namoota biraa hedduu wajjin dubbii Gooftaa barsiisan; ni lallabanis.
But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching, along with many others, the good news of 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.
After some days had gone by, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit our brothers in every city where 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.
Now Barnabas wanted to bring John, who was called Mark.
38 Phaawulos garuu sababii Maarqos isaan wajjin hojiitti fufuu didee Phamfiliyaatti isaan dhiisee deemeef akka inni isaan wajjin deemu hin jaallanne.
But Paul thought it best not to bring this man who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them in their work.
39 Kana irratti waldhabiisni guddaan gidduu isaaniitti uumamnaan gargar baʼan; Barnaabaasis Maarqosin fudhatee dooniidhaan Qophiroositti qajeele.
So there arose a sharp disagreement, with the result that they parted from one another. Barnabas took Mark and sailed off to Cyprus,
40 Phaawulos immoo Siilaasin filatee erga obboloonni dabarsanii ayyaana gooftaatti isa kennanii booddee kaʼee deeme.
but Paul chose Silas and departed, once he had been committed by the brothers to the grace of God.
41 Innis waldoota kiristaanaa jajjabeessaa Sooriyaa fi Kiilqiyaa keessa darbe.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
