Hojii 4
1 Utuu Phexrosii fi Yohannis namootatti dubbachaa jiranuu, luboonni, ajajaan eegdota mana qulqullummaatii fi Saduuqonni isaanitti dhufan.
While they were saying this to the people, the Priests, the Commander of the Temple Guard, and the Sadducees came upon them,
2 Sababii ergamoonni sun namoota barsiisanii duʼaa kaʼuu karaa Yesuusiitiin argamu labsaniifis akka malee aaran.
highly incensed at their teaching the people and proclaiming in the case of Jesus the Resurrection from among the dead.
3 Isaanis Phexrosii fi Yohannisin qabanii hamma guyyaa itti aanuutti mana hidhaatti isaan galchan; galgalaaʼee tureetii.
They arrested the two Apostles and lodged them in custody till the next day; for it was already evening.
4 Warra dubbicha dhagaʼan keessaas baayʼeetu amane; baayʼinni warra amanees gara kuma shaniitti ol kaʼe.
But many of those who had listened to their preaching believed; and the number of the adult men had now grown to be about 5,000.
5 Guyyaa itti aanuttis bulchitoonni, maanguddoonnii fi barsiistonni seeraa Yerusaalemitti wal gaʼan.
The next day a meeting was held in Jerusalem of their Rulers, Elders, and Scribes,
6 Haannaas lubichi ol aanaan, isa wajjin immoo Qayyaaffaan, Yohannis, Iskindiroosii fi namoonni maatii lubicha ol aanaa taʼan kaan hundi achi turan.
with Annas the High Priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and the other members of the high-priestly family.
7 Isaanis Phexrosii fi Yohannisin gidduu isaanii dhaabanii, “Isin humna maaliitiin yookaan maqaa eenyuutiin waan kana gootan?” jedhanii gaafachuu jalqaban.
So they made the Apostles stand in the centre, and demanded of them, "By what power or in what name have you done this?"
8 Phexrosis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutamee akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin yaa bulchitootaa fi maanguddoota uummataa!
Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he replied, "Rulers and Elders of the people,
9 Harʼa waaʼee waan gaarii nama naafa tokkoof godhameetii fi akka inni itti fayyifame yoo nu gaafattan,
if we to-day are under examination concerning the benefit conferred on a man helplessly lame, as to how this man 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.
be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that through the name of Jesus the Anointed, the Nazarene, whom you crucified, but whom God has raised from among the dead-- through that name this man stands here before you in perfect health.
11 Yesuusis, “‘Dhagaa isin ijaartonni tuffattan kan dhagaa golee taʼee dha.’
This Jesus is the Stone treated with contempt by you the builders, but it has been made the Cornerstone.
12 Fayyinni nama biraa tokko irraa iyyuu hin argamu; maqaan nu ittiin fayyifamnu kan samii gaditti namootaaf kenname biraa tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii.”
And in no other is the great salvation to be found; for, in fact, there is no second name under Heaven that has been given among men through which we are to be saved."
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.
As they looked on Peter and John so fearlessly outspoken--and also discovered that they were illiterate persons, untrained in the schools--they were surprised; and now they recognized them as having been with Jesus.
14 Garuu namicha fayyifame sana isaa isaanuma wajjin achi dhaabatu arganii waan dubbatan dhaban.
And seeing the man standing with them--the man who had been cured--they had no reply to make.
15 Kanaaf akka isaan waldaa keessaa gad baʼan ajajanii wajjin mariʼachuu jalqaban.
So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin while they conferred 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 are we to do with these men?" they asked one another; for the fact that a remarkable miracle has been performed by them is well known to every one 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 the matter spreading any further among the people, let us stop them by threats from speaking in the future in this name to any one whatever."
18 Isaanis jara waamanii akka isaan gonkumaa maqaa Yesuusiitiin hin dubbanne yookaan hin barsiifne isaan ajajan.
So they recalled the Apostles, and ordered them altogether to give up speaking or teaching 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, "Judge whether it is right in God's sight to listen to you instead of listening to God.
20 Nu waan arginee fi waan dhageenye dubbachuu dhiisuu hin dandeenyuutii.”
As for us, what we have seen and heard we cannot help speaking about."
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.
The Court added further threats and then let them go, being quite unable to find any way of punishing them on account of the people, because all gave God the glory for the thing that had happened.
22 Umuriin namicha karaa dinqiitiin fayyifame sanaa waggaa afurtamaa ol tureetii.
For the man was over forty years of age on whom this miracle of restoration to health had been performed.
23 Phexrosii fi Yohannis yeroo gad dhiifamanitti gara saba isaanii dhaqanii waan luboonni hangafoonnii fi maanguddoonni jedhaniin hundumaa isaanitti himan.
After their release the two Apostles went to their friends, and told them all that the High Priests and Elders had said.
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.
And they, upon hearing the story, all lifted up their voices to God and said, "O Sovereign Lord, it is Thou who didst make Heaven and earth and sea, and all 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 didst say through the Holy Spirit by the lips of our forefather David Thy servant, "'Why have the nations stamped and raged, and the peoples formed futile plans?
26 Mootonni lafaa kaʼanii, bulchitoonnis Gooftichaa fi dibamaa isaatiin mormuuf walitti qabaman.’
The kings of the earth came near, and the rulers assembled together against the Lord and against His Anointed.'"
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.
"They did indeed assemble in this city in hostility to Thy holy Servant Jesus whom Thou hadst anointed--Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and also the tribes of Israel--
28 Isaanis waanuma humnii fi fedhiin kee akka wanni kun taʼuuf duraan dursanii murteessan sana hojjetan.
to do all that Thy power and Thy will had predetermined should be done.
29 Yaa Gooftaa, egaa doorsisa isaanii ilaaliitii akka garboonni kee ija jabinaan dubbii kee dubbataniif dandeettii kenniif.
And now, Lord, listen to their threats, and enable Thy servants to proclaim Thy Message with fearless courage,
30 Nama fayyisuu fi maqaa tajaajilaa kee qulqullichaa, maqaa Yesuusiitiin mallattoo fi dinqii hojjechuuf harka kee diriirfadhu.”
whilst Thou stretchest out Thine arm to cure men, and to give signs and marvels through the name of Thy 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 prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were, one and all, filled with the Holy Spirit, and proceeded to tell God's Message with boldness.
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.
Among all those who had embraced the faith there was but one heart and soul, so that none of them claimed any of his possessions as his own, but everything they had was common property;
33 Ergamoonnis duʼaa kaʼuu Gooftaa Yesuus humna guddaadhaan dhugaa baʼaa turan; ayyaanni guddaanis hunduma isaanii irra ture.
while the Apostles with great force of conviction delivered their testimony as to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace was upon them all.
34 Rakkataan tokko iyyuu isaan gidduu hin turre. Warri lafa yookaan mana qaban hundinuu gurguranii maallaqa fidanii,
And, in fact, there was not a needy man among them, for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the money which they realised,
35 miilla ergamootaa bira kaaʼu turan; maallaqni sunis nama rakkina qabu kamiif iyyuu ni qoodama ture.
and gave it to the Apostles, and distribution was made to every one according to his wants.
36 Yoosef namni gosa Lewwii kan Qophiroositti dhalate, inni ergamoonni Barnaabaas jedhaniin tokkos achi ture. Barnaabaas jechuun “ilma jajjabinaa” jechuu dha.
In this way Joseph, whom the Apostles gave the name of Bar-nabas--signifying 'Son of Encouragement' --a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
37 Innis lafa qotiisaa ofii isaa gurguree horii isaa fidee miilla ergamootaa bira kaaʼe.
sold a farm which he had, and brought the money and gave it to the Apostles.
