Hojii 4
1 Utuu Phexrosii fi Yohannis namootatti dubbachaa jiranuu, luboonni, ajajaan eegdota mana qulqullummaatii fi Saduuqonni isaanitti dhufan.
While Peter and John were still speaking to the people, the chief priest, with the officer in charge at the Temple and the Sadducees, came up to them,
2 Sababii ergamoonni sun namoota barsiisanii duʼaa kaʼuu karaa Yesuusiitiin argamu labsaniifis akka malee aaran.
much annoyed because they were teaching the people, and because, through Jesus, they were preaching the resurrection from the dead.
3 Isaanis Phexrosii fi Yohannisin qabanii hamma guyyaa itti aanuutti mana hidhaatti isaan galchan; galgalaaʼee tureetii.
They arrested the apostles and, as it was already evening, had them placed in custody until the next day.
4 Warra dubbicha dhagaʼan keessaas baayʼeetu amane; baayʼinni warra amanees gara kuma shaniitti ol kaʼe.
Many, however, of those who had heard the apostles’ message became believers in Christ, the number of the men alone amounting to about five thousand.
5 Guyyaa itti aanuttis bulchitoonni, maanguddoonnii fi barsiistonni seeraa Yerusaalemitti wal gaʼan.
The next day, a meeting of the leaders of the people, the elders, and the teachers of the Law was held in Jerusalem.
6 Haannaas lubichi ol aanaan, isa wajjin immoo Qayyaaffaan, Yohannis, Iskindiroosii fi namoonni maatii lubicha ol aanaa taʼan kaan hundi achi turan.
There were present Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were of High-Priestly rank.
7 Isaanis Phexrosii fi Yohannisin gidduu isaanii dhaabanii, “Isin humna maaliitiin yookaan maqaa eenyuutiin waan kana gootan?” jedhanii gaafachuu jalqaban.
They had Peter and John brought before them, and questioned them. “By what power,” they asked, “Or in whose name have men like you done this thing?”
8 Phexrosis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutamee akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin yaa bulchitootaa fi maanguddoota uummataa!
Then, Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, “Leaders of the people and elders,
9 Harʼa waaʼee waan gaarii nama naafa tokkoof godhameetii fi akka inni itti fayyifame yoo nu gaafattan,
since we are on our trial today for a kind act done to a helpless man, and are asked in what way the man here before you has been cured,
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.
let me tell you all and all the people of Israel, that it is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead – it is, I say, by his name that this man stands here before you lame no longer.
11 Yesuusis, “‘Dhagaa isin ijaartonni tuffattan kan dhagaa golee taʼee dha.’
Jesus is ‘the stone which, scorned by you the builders, has yet become the corner stone.’
12 Fayyinni nama biraa tokko irraa iyyuu hin argamu; maqaan nu ittiin fayyifamnu kan samii gaditti namootaaf kenname biraa tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii.”
And salvation is in him alone; for there is no other name in the whole world, given to people, to which we must look for our salvation.”
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 the Council saw how boldly Peter and John spoke, and found that they were uneducated men of humble station, they were surprised, and realized that they had been companions of Jesus.
14 Garuu namicha fayyifame sana isaa isaanuma wajjin achi dhaabatu arganii waan dubbatan dhaban.
But, when they looked at the man who had been healed, standing there with them, they had nothing to say.
15 Kanaaf akka isaan waldaa keessaa gad baʼan ajajanii wajjin mariʼachuu jalqaban.
So they ordered them out of court, and then began consulting together.
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 are we to do to these men?” they asked one another. “That a remarkable sign has been given through them is obvious to everyone living in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny 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 this thing from spreading further among the people, let us warn them not to speak in this name any more to anyone whatever.”
18 Isaanis jara waamanii akka isaan gonkumaa maqaa Yesuusiitiin hin dubbanne yookaan hin barsiifne isaan ajajan.
So they called the apostles in, and ordered them not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.
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 replied, “Whether it is right, in the sight of God, to listen to you rather than to him – judge for yourselves,
20 Nu waan arginee fi waan dhageenye dubbachuu dhiisuu hin dandeenyuutii.”
for we cannot help speaking of what we have 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.
However, after further warnings, the Council set them at liberty, not seeing any safe way of punishing them, because of the people, for they were all praising God for what had occurred;
22 Umuriin namicha karaa dinqiitiin fayyifame sanaa waggaa afurtamaa ol tureetii.
for the man who was the subject of this miraculous cure 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 they had been set at liberty, the apostles went to their friends and told them what the chief priests and the 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.
All who heard their story, moved by a common impulse, raised their voices to God in prayer: “Sovereign Lord, it is you who has made the heavens, the earth, the 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?
and who, by the lips of our ancestor, your servant David, who spoke under the influence of the Holy Spirit, have said – ‘Why did the nations rage, and the peoples form vain designs?
26 Mootonni lafaa kaʼanii, bulchitoonnis Gooftichaa fi dibamaa isaatiin mormuuf walitti qabaman.’
The kings of the earth set their array, and its rulers gathered together, against the Lord and against his Christ.’
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.
There have indeed gathered together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you has consecrated the Christ, not Herod and Pontius Pilate only, but the nations and the people of Israel besides –
28 Isaanis waanuma humnii fi fedhiin kee akka wanni kun taʼuuf duraan dursanii murteessan sana hojjetan.
yet only to do what you, by your power and of your own will, did long ago destine to be done.
29 Yaa Gooftaa, egaa doorsisa isaanii ilaaliitii akka garboonni kee ija jabinaan dubbii kee dubbataniif dandeettii kenniif.
Now, therefore, Lord, mark their threats, and enable your servants, with all fearlessness, to tell your message,
30 Nama fayyisuu fi maqaa tajaajilaa kee qulqullichaa, maqaa Yesuusiitiin mallattoo fi dinqii hojjechuuf harka kee diriirfadhu.”
while you stretch out your hand to heal, and cause signs and wonders to take place 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 their prayer was ended, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to tell God’s message fearlessly.
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.
The whole body of those who had become believers in Christ were of one heart and mind. Not one of them claimed any of his goods as his own, but everything was held for the common use.
33 Ergamoonnis duʼaa kaʼuu Gooftaa Yesuus humna guddaadhaan dhugaa baʼaa turan; ayyaanni guddaanis hunduma isaanii irra ture.
The apostles continued with great power to bear their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s blessing rested on them all abundantly.
34 Rakkataan tokko iyyuu isaan gidduu hin turre. Warri lafa yookaan mana qaban hundinuu gurguranii maallaqa fidanii,
Nor was there anyone in need among them, for all who were owners of land or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the sales
35 miilla ergamootaa bira kaaʼu turan; maallaqni sunis nama rakkina qabu kamiif iyyuu ni qoodama ture.
and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and then everyone received a share in proportion to his wants.
36 Yoosef namni gosa Lewwii kan Qophiroositti dhalate, inni ergamoonni Barnaabaas jedhaniin tokkos achi ture. Barnaabaas jechuun “ilma jajjabinaa” jechuu dha.
A Levite of Cyprian birth, named Joseph, (who had received from the apostles the additional name of ‘Barnabas’ – which means ‘The Consoler,’)
37 Innis lafa qotiisaa ofii isaa gurguree horii isaa fidee miilla ergamootaa bira kaaʼe.
Sold a farm that belonged to him, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
