Hojii 5
1 Namni Anaaniyaas jedhamu tokko niitii isaa Safiiraa wajjin lafa gurgurate.
Now a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession
2 Innis utuma niitiin isaa beektuu horii sana irraa gartokko ofii isaatii hambifatee kan hafe immoo geessee miilla ergamootaa bira kaaʼe.
and kept back part of the price for himself, his wife also being party to it; bringing a certain part he placed it at the Apostles' feet.
3 Phexros garuu akkana jedhe; “Yaa Anaaniyaas, akka ati Hafuura Qulqulluu sobdee horii lafa gurgurattee argate irraa gartokko hambifattuuf seexanni maaliif akkas garaa kee guute?
So Peter said: “Ananias, on what basis has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the price of the land?
4 Lafti sun utuu hin gurguramin iyyuu kan kee ture mitii? Erga gurguramee booddees horiin sun harkuma kee hin turree? Yoos akka ati waan akkasii gootu maalitu si yaachise? Ati Waaqa sobde malee nama hin sobne.”
While it remained unsold was it not yours, and once sold was it not in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You did not lie to men but to God.”
5 Anaaniyaasis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti kufee duʼe. Warri waan kana dhagaʼan hundinuus sodaa guddaan qabaman.
Well upon hearing these words Ananias fell down and expired! (Great fear came on all who heard these things.)
6 Dargaggoonnis dhufanii, reeffa isaa kafanan; gad baasaniis isa awwaalan.
So the young men got up and wrapped him, and carrying him out they buried him.
7 Gara saʼaatii sadii booddee niitiin isaa utuu waan taʼe hin beekin dhuftee ol seente.
Now after an interval of some three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 Phexrosis, “Gatiin isin Anaaniyaas wajjin lafa gurgurattan sana irraa argattan kanumaa? Mee natti himi!” jedhee ishee gaafate. Isheenis, “Eeyyee kanuma” jette.
So Peter addressed her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” So she said, “Yes, for so much.”
9 Phexrosis, “Isin akkam Hafuura Gooftaa qoruuf walii galuu dandeessan? Ilaa! miilli warra dhirsa kee awwaalanii balbala dura gaʼeera; sis gad si baasu” jedheen.
Peter said to her: “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”
10 Isheenis yeruma sana miilla isaa jalatti lafa dhooftee duute; dargaggoonni sunis ol seenanii reeffa ishee argan; gad baasaniis dhirsa ishee biratti ishee awwaalan.
So she immediately fell down at his feet and expired! So upon entering the young men found her dead, and carrying her out they buried her beside her husband.
11 Waldaan kiristaanaa hundi, warri waan kana dhagaʼan hundinuus sodaa guddaan qabaman.
So great fear came on the whole assembly and on all who heard these things.
12 Ergamoonnis mallattoo fi dinqii baayʼee uummata gidduutti hojjetan. Amantoonni hundinuus iddoo gardaafoo Solomoon jedhamutti walitti qabamu turan.
Now many signs and wonders were being performed among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all in Solomon's Porch with one purpose.
13 Warra hafan keessaa namni tokko iyyuu isaanitti dabalamuuf ija hin jabaanne, uummanni garuu akka malee isaan ulfeessa ture.
None of the rest dared to join them, but the people were magnifying them.
14 Hamma duraa caalaas dhiironnii fi dubartoonni hedduun Gooftaatti amananii amantootatti dabalaman.
Believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,
15 Kanaafis akka yommuu Phexros achiin darbutti gaaddiddumti isaa iyyuu isaan keessaa tokko tokko irra buʼuuf jedhanii namoonni dhukkubsattoota karaatti baasanii siree fi itillee irra ciciibsan.
to the point that they kept carrying the sick into the streets, placing them on cots and pallets, so that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.
16 Namoonnis magaalaawwan naannoo Yerusaalem jiran keessaa warra dhukkubsatanii fi warra hafuura xuraaʼaan dhiphatan fidanii achitti wal gaʼan; warri geeffaman hundinuus ni fayyifaman.
Further, the multitude from the surrounding cities also kept coming into Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
17 Lubni ol aanaanii fi miseensonni garee Saduuqotaa warri isa wajjin turan hundinuu hinaaffaan guutaman.
Then the high priest rose up, and all those with him (being the sect of the Sadducees); they were filled with jealousy
18 Isaanis ergamoota qabanii mana hidhaa uummataa keessa buusan.
and laid their hands on the Apostles and put them in the common prison.
19 Garuu ergamaan Gooftaa tokko halkaniin balbala mana hidhaa banee gad isaan baase.
But, during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, and leading them out he said,
20 Innis, “Dhaqaa mana qulqullummaa keessa dhadhaabadhaatii, dubbii jireenya haaraa kana hunda isaa uummatatti himaa” jedheen.
“Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life.”
21 Isaanis akkuma isaanitti himame sanatti ganama barii mana qulqullummaa seenanii uummata barsiisuu jalqaban. Lubni ol aanaanii fi warri isa wajjin turan yommuu achi gaʼanitti waldaa Yihuudootaatii fi yaaʼii maanguddoota Israaʼel walitti waaman; akka ergamoota sana fidaniifis mana hidhaatti namoota ergan.
So upon hearing it they entered the temple about daybreak and started to teach. Then the high priest and those with him arrived and convened the Sanhedrin, even all the council of elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Qondaaltonni ergaman sun garuu yommuu mana hidhaa gaʼanitti jara achitti hin arganne; kanaafis deebiʼanii,
Well, upon arriving the operatives did not find them in the jail, so they returned and reported,
23 “Mana hidhaa sana isaa sirriitti qollofamee jiru, eegdotas, utuu isaan balbala dura dhaabatanii jiranuu argine; yeroo bannetti garuu nama tokko illee achi keessatti hin arganne” jedhan.
saying: “We certainly found the prison securely locked, and the guards standing in front of the doors, but upon opening them we found no one inside!”
24 Ajajaan eegdota mana qulqullummaatii fi luboonni hangafoonni yommuu oduu kana dhagaʼanitti dinqifachuudhaan waan jedhan wallaalanii, “Maaltu dhalate immoo?” jedhan.
Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were really perplexed as to what the implications might be.
25 Yommus namichi tokko dhufee, “Jarri isin mana hidhaatti galchitan sun kunoo, mana qulqullummaa keessa dhadhaabatanii uummata barsiisaa jiru!” jedhe.
But someone came and told them, “Hey, the men whom you put in the jail are standing in the temple and teaching the people!”
26 Kana irratti ajajaan sun qondaaltota wajjin dhaqee ergamoota sana fide; isaanis sababii uummanni dhagaan nu tuma jedhanii sodaataniif humnatti hin fayyadamne.
Then the captain went with the operatives and brought them without violence, because they were afraid that the people might stone them.
27 Ergamootas fidanii, akka lubni ol aanaan isaan qoruuf fuula yaaʼii Yihuudootaa dura isaan dhadhaabachiisan.
So bringing them they set them before the Sanhedrin; and the high priest addressed them
28 Lubichi ol aanaanis, “Nu akka isin maqaa kanaan hin barsiisne jabeessinee isin ajajnee turre; isin garuu barsiisa keessaniin Yerusaalem guuttaniirtu; akka nu itti gaafatamtoota dhiiga namicha kanaa taanu nu gochuu barbaaddu” jedhe.
saying: “Did we not emphatically command you not to teach in this name? Just look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood on us!”
29 Phexrosii fi ergamoonni kaan garuu akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Nu namaaf ajajamuu irra Waaqaaf ajajamuu qabna!
So in answer Peter and the Apostles said: “One must obey God rather than men.
30 Yesuus isa isin fannoo irratti fanniftanii ajjeeftan sana Waaqni abbootii keenyaa warra duʼan keessaa isa kaaseera.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you murdered by hanging on a tree.
31 Waaqni akka inni Israaʼeliif qalbii jijjiirrachuu fi dhiifama cubbuu kennuuf jedhee bulchaa fi Fayyisaa godhee mirga ofiitti ol ol isa qabe.
Him God has exalted to His right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 Nu dhuga baatota waan kanaa ti; akkasumas Hafuurri Qulqulluun Waaqni warra isaaf ajajamaniif kenne sun dhuga baʼaa waan kanaa ti.”
And we are witnesses to these statements about Him, as also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those obeying Him.”
33 Isaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti akka malee aariidhaan guggubatanii ergamoota ajjeesuuf mariʼatan.
Well upon hearing it they became infuriated and started plotting to kill them.
34 Fariisichi Gamaaliyaal jedhamu, barsiisaan seeraa kan namni hundi kabaju tokko garuu waldaa Yihuudootaa keessa dhaabatee akka ergamoonni sun yeroof gad baafaman ajaje.
But someone in the council stood up (a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law respected by all the people) and commanded to put the Apostles out for a bit.
35 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yaa namoota Israaʼel, waan jara kana gochuuf deemtan keessatti of eeggadhaa.
He then said to them: “Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves concerning these men, as to what you are about to do.
36 Bara dheeraan dura Toyidaas akka waan nama guddaa taʼeetti of ilaalee kaanaan namoonni gara dhibba afuriitti hedaman isa faana buʼan; inni ni ajjeefame; duuka buutonni isaa ni bittinneeffaman; akkasumaan badanis.
For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody; with whom about four hundred men joined up; who was killed, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing.
37 Namicha kana booddee immoo Yihuudaan, namni Galiilaa bara lakkoobsa sabaa keessa kaʼee nama baayʼee ofitti kutate; innis ni ajjeefame; warri isa faana buʼanis ni bittinnaaʼan.
Later Judas the Galilean rose up, in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed.
38 Kanaafuu dubbii kana keessatti ani isinittin hima; namoota kana gad dhiisaa! Haa deemani! Mariin isaanii yookaan hojiin isaanii kun yoo waan nama irraa dhufe taʼe ni bada.
So now I say to you, keep away from these men and leave them alone; because if this counsel or this work should be of men, it will be abolished;
39 Yoo waan Waaqa irraa dhufe taʼe garuu jara kana dhowwuu hin dandeessan; isin mataan keessan iyyuu akka utuu Waaqaan wal loltanuu hin argamne of eeggadhaa!”
but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it—lest you even be found to be fighting against God!”
40 Isaanis gorsa isaa fudhatan; ergamoota sanas ol waamanii garafan; akka isaan maqaa Yesuusiitiin waa hin dubbannes ajajanii gad isaan dhiisan.
Well they were persuaded by him, and summoned the Apostles; after beating them they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Ergamoonnis akka maqaa sanaaf jedhanii qaanaʼaniif waan gaʼumsa argataniif akka malee gammadaa fuula waldaa duraa deeman.
So they went out rejoicing from the presence of the council, in that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name of the Christ.
42 Isaanis guyyuma guyyaan mana qulqullummaatti, mana namaattis utuu gargar hin kutin akka Yesuus Kiristoos taʼe barsiisaa, lallabaas turan.
And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
