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, that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper region, 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.
He said to them, Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? And they said to him, We have not so much as heard whether there is any Holy Spirit.
3 Phaawulosis, “Yoos cuuphaa kami cuuphamtan ree?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis, “Cuuphaa Yohannis” jedhan.
And he said to them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
4 Phaawulosis, “Cuuphaan Yohannis cuuphaa qalbii jijjiirrannaa ti; Yohannis akka isaan kan isa duubaan dhufaa jirutti, jechuunis Yesuusitti amananiif namootatti hima ture” jedhe.
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, That they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 Isaanis waan kana dhagaʼanii maqaa Gooftaa Yesuusitti cuuphaman.
When they heard [this], they were baptized 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 had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in languages, 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 went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning 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 when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing 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.
And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11 Waaqni harka Phaawulosiitiin hojii dinqii kan akka malee dinqisiisu hojjechaa ture.
And God wrought special miracles 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 from his body were brought to the sick, handkerchiefs, or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went 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.
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them who had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 Ilmaan Iskoyaas, isa luba hangafa Yihuudootaa ture sanaa torbanis waan kana hojjetaniiru.
And there were seven sons of [one] Sceva a Jew, [and] chief of the priests, who did so.
15 Hafuurri hamaan sun garuu, “Ani Yesuusin beeka; waaʼee Phaawulosis beeka; isin immoo eenyu?” jedhee deebiseef.
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
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 overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of 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 was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus: and fear fell on 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 that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
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.
Many also of them who used curious arts, brought their books together, and burned them before all [men]; and they counted the price of them, and found [it] fifty thousand [pieces] of silver.
20 Haala kanaanis dubbiin Gooftaa akka malee babalʼate; humnaanis guddate.
So mightily grew the word of God, and prevailed.
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.
After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia, and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
22 Innis gargaartota isaa keessaa nama lama jechuunis Xiimotewosii fi Erisxoosin Maqedooniyaatti ergee ofii immoo yeroof biyya Asiyaa keessa ture.
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
23 Gidduma sana waaʼee karaa sanaa irratti gooliin guddaan uumame.
And the same time there arose no small stir 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 silver-smith, who made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain to the artificers;
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.
Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth:
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.
Moreover, ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away many people, saying, that they are no gods which are made with hands.
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.”
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at naught; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia, and the world worshipeth.
28 Isaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti akka malee aaranii, “Arxemiisiin warra Efesoon guddoo dha!” jedhanii iyyan.
And when they heard [these sayings], they were full of wrath, 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 having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theater.
30 Phaawulos uummatatti mulʼachuu barbaade; barattoonni garuu hin eeyyamneef.
And when Paul would have entered in to the people, the disciples suffered him not.
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.
And certain of the chief of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him, desiring [him] that he would not adventure 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 cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not why 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 they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his 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 when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, 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?
And when the town-clerk had appeased the people, he said, [Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?
36 Kanaaf waan namni dhugaa kana falmu hin jirreef isin calʼisuu qabdu; waan tokko illee jarjarsuun hojjechuu hin qabdan.
Seeing then that these things cannot be contradicted, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
37 Isaan mana sagadaa saamuu yookaan waaqittii keenya arrabsuu baatan illee isin jara kana as fiddaniirtu.
For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers 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.
Wherefore, if Demetrius and the artificers who are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.
39 Yoo wanni biraa kan isin dhiʼeeffachuu barbaaddan tokko iyyuu jiraate garuu wanni sun yaaʼii seera qabeessa irratti ilaalama.
But if ye inquire any thing concerning 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 to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause by which we may give an account of this concourse.
41 Innis erga waan kana dubbatee booddee waldaa sana gad lakkise.
And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
