Hojii 19
1 Utuu Apholoos Qorontos keessa jiruu Phaawulos immoo biyya ol aanu keessa baʼee Efesoon dhufe; achittis barattoota tokko tokko argate.
And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, after passing through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,
2 Innis, “Isin yeroo amantanitti Hafuura Qulqulluu argattaniirtuu?” jedhee gaafate. Isaan immoo deebisanii, “Hin arganne; nu akka Hafuurri Qulqulluun jiru iyyuu takkumaa hin dhageenye” jedhan.
said to them: Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? They said to him: We have not only not received it, but we have not even heard whether the Holy Spirit is given.
3 Phaawulosis, “Yoos cuuphaa kami cuuphamtan ree?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis, “Cuuphaa Yohannis” jedhan.
And he said to them: Into what, then, were you immersed? They replied: Into John’s immersion.
4 Phaawulosis, “Cuuphaan Yohannis cuuphaa qalbii jijjiirrannaa ti; Yohannis akka isaan kan isa duubaan dhufaa jirutti, jechuunis Yesuusitti amananiif namootatti hima ture” jedhe.
And Paul said: John immersed with the immersion of repentance, saying to the people, that they must believe on him who should come after him, that is, on the Christ, Jesus.
5 Isaanis waan kana dhagaʼanii maqaa Gooftaa Yesuusitti cuuphaman.
And when they heard this, they were immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 Yommuu Phaawulos harka isaan irra kaaʼetti Hafuurri Qulqulluun isaan irra buʼe; isaanis afaan haaraadhaan dubbatan; raajiis ni dubbatan.
And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
7 Isaanis walumatti gara nama kudha lamaa turan.
And all the men were about twelve.
8 Phaawulosis mana sagadaa seenee waaʼee mootummaa Waaqaa isaan wajjin falmaa, akka isaan amananiifis yaalaa, jiʼa sadii sodaa malee dubbachaa ture.
And he entered the synagogue, and spoke boldly, reasoning, and persuading them for three months, with respect to the things of the kingdom of God.
9 Isaan keessaa tokko tokko garuu mata jabeeyyii taʼan; amanuus didanii waaʼee karaa sanaa uummata duratti waan hamaa dubbatan; kanaaf Phaawulos isaan dhiisee deeme; barattootas ofitti fudhatee mana barumsaa Xiraanoos keessatti guyyuma guyyaan isaan wajjin mariʼachaa ture.
But as some were hardened, and did not believe, and spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he withdrew from them, and separated the disciples, and discoursed daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
10 Kunis waggaa lama itti fufe; kanaaf Yihuudoonnii fi Giriikonni biyya Asiyaa keessa jiraatan hundinuu dubbii Gooftaa dhagaʼan.
This continued for two years; so that all that dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
11 Waaqni harka Phaawulosiitiin hojii dinqii kan akka malee dinqisiisu hojjechaa ture.
Mighty deeds, also, that were unusual, did God perform by the hands of Paul;
12 Kanaaf maarrabiin yookaan marxoon dhagna isaa tuqe iyyuu dhukkubsattootatti geeffama ture; isaanis ni fayyu; hafuurri hamaanis isaan keessaa baʼa ture.
so that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried from his body to the sick, and diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits came out of them.
13 Yihuudoonni biyya keessa nanaannaʼanii hafuurota xuraaʼoo nama keessaa baasan tokko tokkos namoota hafuura hamaan qabaman irratti maqaa Gooftaa Yesuus waamuu yaalan; isaanis, “Ani maqaa Yesuus kan Phaawulos lallabu sanaan sin ajaja” jedhan.
And some of the roving Jews, who were exorcists, undertook to pronounce the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying: I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.
14 Ilmaan Iskoyaas, isa luba hangafa Yihuudootaa ture sanaa torbanis waan kana hojjetaniiru.
And there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
15 Hafuurri hamaan sun garuu, “Ani Yesuusin beeka; waaʼee Phaawulosis beeka; isin immoo eenyu?” jedhee deebiseef.
But the evil spirit answered and said: Jesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know; but who are you?
16 Namichi hafuura hamaan qabame sunis isaanitti utaale; hunda isaaniis moʼate; ni tumes; isaanis madaaʼanii qullaa isaanii mana keessaa baʼanii baqatan.
And the man in whom the evil spirit was, leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled from that house, naked and wounded.
17 Kunis Yihuudootaa fi Giriikota Efesoon keessa jiraatan hunda biratti beekame; isaan hundis sodaan guutaman; maqaan Gooftaa Yesuusis baayʼee kabajame.
And this became known to all the Greeks and Jews that dwelt in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 Warra amanan keessaas baayʼeen isaanii dhufanii hojii isaanii hamaa sana ifatti baasanii himachaa turan.
And many of those who believed came and confessed, and made known their practices.
19 Warra falfala hojjechaa turan keessaas namoonni baayʼeen kitaabota isaanii walitti qabanii fuula uummataa duratti guban; gatiin kitaabota sanaas yommuu shallagametti gara meetii kuma shantama taʼe.
And many of those who practiced magic, brought together their books, and burned them, in the presence of all. And they computed their value, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 Haala kanaanis dubbiin Gooftaa akka malee babalʼate; humnaanis guddate.
So mightily did the word of the Lord grow and prevail.
21 Erga wanni kun hundinuu taʼee booddee Phaawulos Maqedooniyaa fi Akaayaa keessa darbee Yerusaalem dhaquu murteeffate; innis, “Ani ergan achi gaʼee booddee Roomaas dhaquun qaba” jedhe.
When these things had been accomplished, Paul purposed in spirit to go to Jerusalem, after he should pass through Macedonia and Achaia, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.
22 Innis gargaartota isaa keessaa nama lama jechuunis Xiimotewosii fi Erisxoosin Maqedooniyaatti ergee ofii immoo yeroof biyya Asiyaa keessa ture.
So, having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he remained for a time in Asia.
23 Gidduma sana waaʼee karaa sanaa irratti gooliin guddaan uumame.
And at that time there was no little excitement about that way.
24 Tumtuun meetii kan Dimeexiroos jedhamu tokko fakkii mana qulqullummaa Arxemiisi meetii irraa hojjechuun ogeeyyii hojii harkaatiif galii guddaa galchaa ture.
For a certain man, named Demetrius, a silversmith, by making silver shrines for Diana, furnished no little trade to the artists.
25 Innis isaan hundaa fi namoota hojii akkasii qaban kaan walitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Yaa namoota nana, akka nu hojii kana irraa galii guddaa argannu ni beektu.
These he called together, with the workmen employed about such things, and said: Men, you know that our wealth arises from this trade:
26 Isin akka namichi Phaawulos jedhamu kun utuu Efesoon qofatti hin taʼin guutummaa biyya Asiyaa gara caalu keessattis akka waaqonni harka namaatiin tolfaman waaqota hin taʼin dubbachuudhaan nama hedduu amansiisee karaa irraa balleesse ni argitu; ni dhageessus.
and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost the whole of Asia, this Paul, by his persuasions, has drawn away a great multitude, saying, that they which are made with hands are not gods.
27 Kanaafuu akka maqaan hojii keenyaa inni gaariin sun badu sodaan jira; garuu kana qofa utuu hin taʼin manni sagadaa Arxemiisi waaqittii guddoo sanaa iyyuu ni salphata; waaqittiin biyya Asiyaa guutuu fi addunyaa keessatti waaqeffatamtu mataan ishee iyyuu ulfina waaqummaa ishee ni dhabdi.”
Now there is danger, not only that this our calling will come into disgrace, but that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and that the majesty of her whom all Asia and the world worships, will be destroyed.
28 Isaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti akka malee aaranii, “Arxemiisiin warra Efesoon guddoo dha!” jedhanii iyyan.
When they heard this, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
29 Yommusuma magaalattiin ni raafamte; namoonni sunis miiltota Phaawulos kanneen Maqedooniyaadhaa dhufan jechuunis Gaayoosii fi Arisxirokoosin qabanii akkuma nama tokkootti gara iddoo itti tapha argisiisanii girrisanii fiigan.
And the whole city was filled with confusion. And they seized Gains and Aristarchus, who were Macedonians, Paul’s fellow-travelers, and, with one consent, rushed into the theater.
30 Phaawulos uummatatti mulʼachuu barbaade; barattoonni garuu hin eeyyamneef.
And when Paul wished to go in among the people, the disciples did not permit him.
31 Qondaaltota biyya Asiyaa warra michoota Phaawulos turan keessaas tokko tokko nama isatti erganii akka inni iddoo itti tapha argisiisan sana hin dhaqne isa kadhatan.
Some of the Asiarchs also, who were friendly to him, sent to him, and besought him not to trust himself into the theater.
32 Yaaʼichis wacaan guutame: Garri tokko waan tokko, garri kaan waan biraa iyye. Garri caalaan isaanii immoo waan achitti walitti qabamaniif illee hin beekne.
Some, therefore, were crying one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what they had come together.
33 Yihuudoonnis Iskindiroosin dhiibanii fuula uummataa duratti baafnaan, namoonni tokko tokko uummata keessaa iyyanii gorsa kennaniif; innis uummata duratti falmachuuf jedhee akka namoonni calʼisaniif harkaan mallattoo kenne.
And some of the multitude put Alexander forward, the Jews urging him on. And Alexander waved his hand, and wished to make a defense to the people.
34 Yommuu akka inni Yihuudii taʼe hubatanitti garuu isaan hundinuu sagalee tokkoon, “Arxemiisiin warra Efesoon guddoo dha!” jedhanii gara saʼaatii lamaa iyyaa turan.
But perceiving that he was a Jew, they all cried out, with one voice, for about two hours: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
35 Barreessaan magaalaa sanaas uummata calʼisiisee akkana jedhe; “Yaa namoota Efesoon, akka magaalaan Efesoon kun eegduu mana sagadaa Arxemiisi guddittiitii fi fakkii ishee kan samii irraa buʼe sanaa taate namni hin beekne jiraa?
But the town-clerk quieted the multitude, and said: Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great Diana, and of the image that fell down from Jupiter?
36 Kanaaf waan namni dhugaa kana falmu hin jirreef isin calʼisuu qabdu; waan tokko illee jarjarsuun hojjechuu hin qabdan.
As these things, then, can not be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
37 Isaan mana sagadaa saamuu yookaan waaqittii keenya arrabsuu baatan illee isin jara kana as fiddaniirtu.
For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples, nor revilers of your goddess.
38 Kanaaf Dimeexiroosii fi ogeeyyiin isa wajjin jiran sun yoo waan ittiin nama tokko iyyuu himatan qabaatan manneen murtii banaa dha; bulchitoonni biyyaas jiru. Isaan himata qaban achitti haa dhiʼeeffatan.
Therefore, if Demetrius, and the artists who are with him, have a charge against any one, the courts are in session, and the proconsuls are there; let them accuse each other.
39 Yoo wanni biraa kan isin dhiʼeeffachuu barbaaddan tokko iyyuu jiraate garuu wanni sun yaaʼii seera qabeessa irratti ilaalama.
But if you have any inquiries to make about other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
40 Nu wal gaʼii kanaaf sababii dhiʼeeffachuu dandeenyu waan hin qabneef goolii harʼa taʼe kanatti akka gaafatamnu sodaa qabna.”
For we are in danger of being called to answer for this day’s tumult, since there is no cause by which we shall be able to account for this concourse.
41 Innis erga waan kana dubbatee booddee waldaa sana gad lakkise.
And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
