Hojii 1
1 Yaa Tewofilos, ani waan Yesuus hojjechuu fi barsiisuu jalqabe hunda kitaaba koo kan jalqabaa keessatti barreesseera.
The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began to do and to teach,
2 Wanni kunis waan erga Yesuus ergamoota filate sanaaf karaa hafuura qulqulluutiin ajaja kennee booddee hamma gaafa inni Samiitti ol fudhatameetti taʼee dha.
Until the day on which, giving commandments by the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up.
3 Innis duʼa isaa booddee namoota kanatti of argisiisee waan akka inni jiraataa taʼe mirkaneessu baayʼees dhiʼeesse; bultii afurtama isaanitti mulʼatee waaʼee mootummaa Waaqaa dubbate.
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God.
4 Utuu isaan wajjin jiruus akkana jedhee isaan ajaje; “Waadaa Abbaa kootii kan waaʼee isaa narraa dhageessan sana eeggadhaa malee Yerusaalemii hin baʼinaa.
And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth.
5 Yohannis bishaaniin cuupheetii; isin garuu bultii xinnoo booddee Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ni cuuphamtu.”
For John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence.
6 Isaanis yommuu walitti qabamanitti, “Yaa Gooftaa, ati yeroo kanatti Israaʼeliif mootummaa ni deebiftaa?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 Inni immoo akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yeroo yookaan guyyaa Abbaan aangoo isaatiin murteesse beekuun hojii keessan miti.
But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power:
8 Yeroo hafuurri Qulqulluun isin irra buʼutti garuu humna ni argattu; isinis Yerusaalem keessatti, Yihuudaa hundaa fi Samaariyaa keessatti, hamma qarqara lafaattis dhuga baatota koo ni taatu.”
But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth.
9 Erga inni waan kana dubbatee booddee utuma isaan ilaalanuu ol fudhatame; duumessis ija isaanii duraa isa dhokse.
And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 Yeroo inni ol baʼaa turettis, utuma isaan xiyyeeffatanii gara Samii ilaalaa jiranuu namoonni uffata adaadii uffatan lama isaan bira dhadhaabatan.
And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments.
11 Akkanas jedhaniin; “Yaa namoota Galiilaa, isin maaliif as dhadhaabattanii gara Samii ilaaltu? Yesuus innumti isin biraa samiitti ol fudhatame kun, akkuma isin utuu inni samiitti ol baʼuu argitan kana deebiʼee ni dhufa.”
Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven.
12 Isaanis gaara Tulluu Ejersaa jedhamu irraa Yerusaalemitti deebiʼan; gaarri kunis Yerusaalem irraa gara deemsa guyyaa Sanbata tokkoo fagaata.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within a sabbath day’s journey.
13 Isaanis yommuu Yerusaalem gaʼanitti kutaa darbii kan keessa jiraachaa turan sanatti ol baʼan; isaanis: Phexrosii fi Yohannis, Yaaqoobii fi Indiriiyaas, Fiiliphoosii fi Toomaas, Bartaloomewoosii fi Maatewos, Yaaqoob ilma Alfewoos, Simoon isa Hinaafticha jedhamuu fi Yihuudaa ilma Yaaqoob turan.
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Jude the brother of James.
14 Hundi isaaniis dubartootaa fi Maariyaam haadha Yesuus wajjin, obboloota isaa wajjinis utuu gargar hin kutin yaada tokkoon kadhannaatti jabaachaa turan.
All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 Gidduma sana Phexros kaʼee amantoota gara 120 taʼan gidduu dhaabate.
In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren, said: (now the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty: )
16 Akkanas jedhe; “Yaa obboloota, dubbiin kitaabaa kan Hafuurri Qulqulluun yeroo dheeraan dura waaʼee Yihuudaa isa warra Yesuusin qaban fide sanaa afaan Daawitiitiin dubbate sun raawwatamuu qaba.
Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus:
17 Innis miseensa keenyaa fi nama akka tajaajila kana keessatti qooda qabaatuuf filatame ture.”
Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18 Yihuudaan horii hammina hojjetee argate sanaan lafa bitate; innis mataan kufee qixxee lamaanitti tarsaʼe; marʼumaan isaa hundinuus keessaa jige.
And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out.
19 Namoonni Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan hundinuus waan kana dhagaʼan; lafa sanas afaan isaaniitiin Akeldaamaa jedhanii waaman. Akeldaamaa jechuun “Lafa Dhiigaa” jechuu dha.
And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 Phexrosis akkana jedhe; “Kitaaba faarfannaa keessatti akkana jedhamee barreeffameeraatii: “‘Qeʼeen isaa haa onu; namni keessa jiraatu tokko iyyuus hin hafin’ akkasumas “‘Aangoo isaa namni biraa haa fudhatu.’
For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take.
21 Kanaaf warra yeroo gooftaa Yesuus nu gidduu baʼee galaa ture hundumaa nu wajjin turan keessaa nama tokko filachuun barbaachisaa dha;
Wherefore of these men who have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,
22 namni filatamu kun nama cuuphaa Yohannisii jalqabee hamma gaafa Yesuus nu biraa samiitti ol fudhatameetti nu wajjin ture taʼuu qaba. Namoota kanneen keessaa tokko nu wajjin dhuga baatuu duʼaa kaʼuu Yesuus taʼuu qabaatii.”
Beginning from the baptism of John, until the day wherein he was taken up from us, one of these must be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 Kanaafis namoota lama dhiʼeessan; isaanis Yoosef isa Barsaabaas jedhamu kan Yoosxoos jedhamee beekamu tokkoo fi Maatiyaas.
And they appointed two, Joseph, called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Akkanas jedhanii Waaqa kadhatan; “Yaa Gooftaa garaa nama hundumaa beektu, ati namoota kanneen lamaan keessaa isa kam akka filatte nutti argisiisi;
And praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 kunis akka inni tajaajilaa fi ergamtummaa Yihuudaan dhiisee gara iddoo ofii isaatti gara gale sana fudhatuuf.”
To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, that he might go to his own place.
26 Isaanis ixaa buusan; ixaan sunis Maatiyaasiif baʼe. Kanaafuu inni ergamoota kudha tokkotti dabalame.
And they gave them lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
