Hojii 4
1 Utuu Phexrosii fi Yohannis namootatti dubbachaa jiranuu, luboonni, ajajaan eegdota mana qulqullummaatii fi Saduuqonni isaanitti dhufan.
While they were talking to the people, the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and the Sadducees came up to them.
2 Sababii ergamoonni sun namoota barsiisanii duʼaa kaʼuu karaa Yesuusiitiin argamu labsaniifis akka malee aaran.
They were angry that they were teaching the people, telling them that through Jesus there is resurrection from the dead.
3 Isaanis Phexrosii fi Yohannisin qabanii hamma guyyaa itti aanuutti mana hidhaatti isaan galchan; galgalaaʼee tureetii.
They arrested them and placed them under guard until the following day since it was already evening.
4 Warra dubbicha dhagaʼan keessaas baayʼeetu amane; baayʼinni warra amanees gara kuma shaniitti ol kaʼe.
But many who had heard the message believed it, and the total number of believers grew to about five thousand.
5 Guyyaa itti aanuttis bulchitoonni, maanguddoonnii fi barsiistonni seeraa Yerusaalemitti wal gaʼan.
The next day, the rulers, elders, and religious leaders met together in Jerusalem.
6 Haannaas lubichi ol aanaan, isa wajjin immoo Qayyaaffaan, Yohannis, Iskindiroosii fi namoonni maatii lubicha ol aanaa taʼan kaan hundi achi turan.
They included the high priest Annas, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and others of the high priest's family.
7 Isaanis Phexrosii fi Yohannisin gidduu isaanii dhaabanii, “Isin humna maaliitiin yookaan maqaa eenyuutiin waan kana gootan?” jedhanii gaafachuu jalqaban.
They brought Peter and John before them and asked, “By what power or by whose authority have you done this?”
8 Phexrosis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutamee akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin yaa bulchitootaa fi maanguddoota uummataa!
Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, answered them. “Rulers of the people, and elders:
9 Harʼa waaʼee waan gaarii nama naafa tokkoof godhameetii fi akka inni itti fayyifame yoo nu gaafattan,
Are we being interrogated regarding a good deed done to a man who couldn't help himself, and how he came to be healed?
10 isinii fi namoonni Israaʼel hundinuu waan kana beekaa; namichi kun maqaa Yesuus Kiristoos nama Naazreeti kan isin fanniftanii Waaqni immoo warra duʼan keessaa isa kaase sanaatiin fayyee fuula keessan dura dhaabata.
If so, all of you should know, and all the people of Israel, that it was in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the one you killed on a cross and whom God raised from the dead—it's because of him that this man stands before you completely healed.
11 Yesuusis, “‘Dhagaa isin ijaartonni tuffattan kan dhagaa golee taʼee dha.’
‘He is the stone you builders rejected, but he has been made the chief cornerstone.’
12 Fayyinni nama biraa tokko irraa iyyuu hin argamu; maqaan nu ittiin fayyifamnu kan samii gaditti namootaaf kenname biraa tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii.”
There is no salvation in anyone else; there is no other name under heaven given to humanity that can possibly save us.”
13 Namoonni sunis yommuu ija jabina Phexrosii fi Yohannis arganii akka isaan warra barumsa hin qabnee fi warra hin beekamne taʼan hubatanitti ni dinqisiifatan; akka isaan Yesuus wajjin turanis ni qalbeeffatan.
When they saw Peter and John's confidence, and realized they were uneducated, ordinary men, they were very surprised. They also recognized them as Jesus' companions.
14 Garuu namicha fayyifame sana isaa isaanuma wajjin achi dhaabatu arganii waan dubbatan dhaban.
Since they could see the man who had been healed standing right there with them, they had nothing to say in response to what had happened.
15 Kanaaf akka isaan waldaa keessaa gad baʼan ajajanii wajjin mariʼachuu jalqaban.
So they instructed them to wait outside the council while they discussed the matter among themselves.
16 Akkanas jedhan; “Jara kana maal haa goonu? Akka isaan dinqii guddaa hojjetan namni Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu hundi ni beeka; nus waan kana waakkachuu hin dandeenyu.
“What should we do with these men?” they asked. “We can't deny a significant miracle has happened through them. Everybody living here in Jerusalem knows about it.
17 Garuu akka wanni kun hammana caalaa uummata keessa hin babalʼanneef nu akka jarri kun siʼachi maqaa kanaan nama tokkotti illee hin dubbanne isaan of eeggachiisuu qabna.”
But to prevent it spreading among the people any further, we should threaten them never to speak to anybody in this name again.”
18 Isaanis jara waamanii akka isaan gonkumaa maqaa Yesuusiitiin hin dubbanne yookaan hin barsiifne isaan ajajan.
So they called them back in and ordered them never to speak or teach in the name of Jesus again.
19 Phexrosii fi Yohannis garuu deebisanii akkana jedhan; “Qooda Waaqaa isiniif ajajamuun fuula Waaqaa duratti akka qajeelaa taʼee fi akka hin taʼin mee isinuu ilaalaa!
But Peter and John responded, “Whether it's right in God's eyes to obey you rather than God—you decide.
20 Nu waan arginee fi waan dhageenye dubbachuu dhiisuu hin dandeenyuutii.”
We can't help talking about what we've seen and heard!”
21 Isaanis erga ittuma fufanii doorsisanii booddee jara gad dhiisan. Waan namoonni sababii waan hojjetame sanaatiif Waaqa galateeffachaa turaniifis akka itti jara adaban murteeffachuu hin dandeenye.
After making more threats they let them go. They couldn't work out how to punish them because everyone was glorifying God for what had happened.
22 Umuriin namicha karaa dinqiitiin fayyifame sanaa waggaa afurtamaa ol tureetii.
For the man who received this miracle of healing was more than forty years old.
23 Phexrosii fi Yohannis yeroo gad dhiifamanitti gara saba isaanii dhaqanii waan luboonni hangafoonnii fi maanguddoonni jedhaniin hundumaa isaanitti himan.
After the disciples had been released, they went to the other believers and told them everything the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24 Isaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti kadhannaadhaan sagalee isaanii tokkummaan Waaqatti ol fuudhanii akkana jedhan; “Yaa Gooftaa Waan Hundaa Olii, situ samii, lafa, galaanaa fi waan isaan keessa jiru hunda uume.
When they heard what had happened, they prayed to God together: “Lord, you made heaven and earth and sea, and everything that is in them.
25 Ati Hafuura Qulqulluun karaa afaan tajaajilaa kee abbaa keenya Daawitiitiin akkana jettee dubbatteerta; “‘Namoonni maaliif akkanumaan mariʼatu? Saboonnis maaliif waan faayidaa hin qabne yaadu?
You spoke by the Holy Spirit through David, our forefather and your servant, saying ‘Why did the people of the other nations become so angry? Why did they plot so foolishly against me?
26 Mootonni lafaa kaʼanii, bulchitoonnis Gooftichaa fi dibamaa isaatiin mormuuf walitti qabaman.’
The kings of the earth prepared for war the rulers united together against the Lord and against his Chosen One.’
27 Dhugumaan Heroodisii fi Phonxoos Phiilaaxoos Namoota Ormaatii fi uummata Israaʼel wajjin hojjetaa kee isa qulqulluu, Yesuus isa ati dibdetti mariʼachuuf jedhanii magaalaa kana keessatti walitti qabaman.
Now this has really happened right here in this city! Both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the foreigners and the people of Israel, united together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed as Messiah.
28 Isaanis waanuma humnii fi fedhiin kee akka wanni kun taʼuuf duraan dursanii murteessan sana hojjetan.
They did whatever you had already decided because you had the power and the will to do it.
29 Yaa Gooftaa, egaa doorsisa isaanii ilaaliitii akka garboonni kee ija jabinaan dubbii kee dubbataniif dandeettii kenniif.
Now Lord: look at all their threats against us! Help us your servants to speak your word really boldly.
30 Nama fayyisuu fi maqaa tajaajilaa kee qulqullichaa, maqaa Yesuusiitiin mallattoo fi dinqii hojjechuuf harka kee diriirfadhu.”
As you exercise your power to heal, may signs and miracles be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus!”
31 Erga isaan Waaqa kadhatanii booddee lafti isaan itti wal gaʼan sun ni sosochoote; isaan hundinuus hafuura qulqulluudhaan guutamanii ija jabinaan dubbii Waaqaa dubbatan.
When they had finished praying, the building they were meeting in was shaken. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God boldly.
32 Amantoonni hundinuus garaa tokkoo fi yaada tokko qabu turan; waan qaban hundas walumaan qoodachaa turan malee namni tokko iyyuu akka waan qabeenyi inni qabu kam iyyuu kan mataa isaa qofa taʼeetti hin lakkoofne.
All the believers thought and felt the same way. None of them claimed anything they had as their own, but shared everything with each other.
33 Ergamoonnis duʼaa kaʼuu Gooftaa Yesuus humna guddaadhaan dhugaa baʼaa turan; ayyaanni guddaanis hunduma isaanii irra ture.
The apostles gave their testimony regarding the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with tremendous power, and God greatly blessed them all.
34 Rakkataan tokko iyyuu isaan gidduu hin turre. Warri lafa yookaan mana qaban hundinuu gurguranii maallaqa fidanii,
None of them needed anything because those who had lands or properties sold them.
35 miilla ergamootaa bira kaaʼu turan; maallaqni sunis nama rakkina qabu kamiif iyyuu ni qoodama ture.
They took the proceeds and presented them to the apostles to be shared with those in need.
36 Yoosef namni gosa Lewwii kan Qophiroositti dhalate, inni ergamoonni Barnaabaas jedhaniin tokkos achi ture. Barnaabaas jechuun “ilma jajjabinaa” jechuu dha.
Joseph, the one the apostles called Barnabas (meaning “son of encouragement”), was a Levite, a Cypriot national.
37 Innis lafa qotiisaa ofii isaa gurguree horii isaa fidee miilla ergamootaa bira kaaʼe.
He sold a field that belonged to him. Then he brought the money and presented it to the apostles.
