Acts 1
1 Dear Theophilus, in my previous book I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
Yaa Tewofilos, ani waan Yesuus hojjechuu fi barsiisuu jalqabe hunda kitaaba koo kan jalqabaa keessatti barreesseera.
2 until the day he was taken up to heaven. This was after he'd given instructions through the Holy Spirit to his chosen apostles.
Wanni kunis waan erga Yesuus ergamoota filate sanaaf karaa hafuura qulqulluutiin ajaja kennee booddee hamma gaafa inni Samiitti ol fudhatameetti taʼee dha.
3 Over the course of forty days after the death he suffered, he showed himself to them, proving that he was alive with convincing evidence. He appeared to them, and told them about the kingdom of God.
Innis duʼa isaa booddee namoota kanatti of argisiisee waan akka inni jiraataa taʼe mirkaneessu baayʼees dhiʼeesse; bultii afurtama isaanitti mulʼatee waaʼee mootummaa Waaqaa dubbate.
4 While he was still with them he instructed them, “Do not leave Jerusalem. Wait to receive what the Father promised, just as you heard it from me.
Utuu isaan wajjin jiruus akkana jedhee isaan ajaje; “Waadaa Abbaa kootii kan waaʼee isaa narraa dhageessan sana eeggadhaa malee Yerusaalemii hin baʼinaa.
5 It's true that John baptized with water, but in just a few days' time you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.”
Yohannis bishaaniin cuupheetii; isin garuu bultii xinnoo booddee Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ni cuuphamtu.”
6 So when the disciples met with Jesus, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will re-establish Israel's kingdom?”
Isaanis yommuu walitti qabamanitti, “Yaa Gooftaa, ati yeroo kanatti Israaʼeliif mootummaa ni deebiftaa?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
7 “You don't need to know about the dates and times that are set by the Father's authority,” he told them.
Inni immoo akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yeroo yookaan guyyaa Abbaan aangoo isaatiin murteesse beekuun hojii keessan miti.
8 “But you will be given power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest places on earth.”
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.”
9 After Jesus had told them this, he was taken up as they were watching and a cloud hid him from their sight.
Erga inni waan kana dubbatee booddee utuma isaan ilaalanuu ol fudhatame; duumessis ija isaanii duraa isa dhokse.
10 While they were staring intently at the sky as he ascended, two men dressed in white were suddenly standing beside them.
Yeroo inni ol baʼaa turettis, utuma isaan xiyyeeffatanii gara Samii ilaalaa jiranuu namoonni uffata adaadii uffatan lama isaan bira dhadhaabatan.
11 “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky?” they asked. “This same Jesus who has been taken up from you to heaven shall come in the same way you saw him go into heaven.”
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.”
12 Then the disciples went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives which is about a Sabbath day's walk from Jerusalem.
Isaanis gaara Tulluu Ejersaa jedhamu irraa Yerusaalemitti deebiʼan; gaarri kunis Yerusaalem irraa gara deemsa guyyaa Sanbata tokkoo fagaata.
13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the upper room where they were staying: Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
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.
14 They all joined together in prayer, together with the women and Mary, Jesus' mother, and his brothers.
Hundi isaaniis dubartootaa fi Maariyaam haadha Yesuus wajjin, obboloota isaa wajjinis utuu gargar hin kutin yaada tokkoon kadhannaatti jabaachaa turan.
15 At this time Peter stood up and addressed a crowd of around one hundred and twenty believers who had gathered together.
Gidduma sana Phexros kaʼee amantoota gara 120 taʼan gidduu dhaabate.
16 “My brothers and sisters,” he said, “The Scriptures, spoken by the Holy Spirit through David, had to be fulfilled regarding Judas, who guided those who arrested Jesus.
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.
17 He was counted as one of us, and shared in this ministry.”
Innis miseensa keenyaa fi nama akka tajaajila kana keessatti qooda qabaatuuf filatame ture.”
18 (Judas had bought a field with his ill-gotten gains. There he fell down headfirst, and his body burst apart, spilling out all his intestines.
Yihuudaan horii hammina hojjetee argate sanaan lafa bitate; innis mataan kufee qixxee lamaanitti tarsaʼe; marʼumaan isaa hundinuus keessaa jige.
19 Everybody who lived in Jerusalem heard about this so that the field was called in their language “Akeldama,” which means, “Field of blood.”)
Namoonni Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan hundinuus waan kana dhagaʼan; lafa sanas afaan isaaniitiin Akeldaamaa jedhanii waaman. Akeldaamaa jechuun “Lafa Dhiigaa” jechuu dha.
20 As it's written in the book of Psalms, “Let his home be abandoned, and no-one live there;” and “Let someone else take over his position.”
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.’
21 “So now we have to choose someone who has been with us the whole time that Jesus was with us,
Kanaaf warra yeroo gooftaa Yesuus nu gidduu baʼee galaa ture hundumaa nu wajjin turan keessaa nama tokko filachuun barbaachisaa dha;
22 from the time John was baptizing up until the day Jesus was taken up to heaven from us. One of these must be chosen to join together with us as we witness, giving evidence of Jesus' resurrection.”
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.”
23 Two names were put forward: Joseph Justus, also known as Barsabbas, and Matthias.
Kanaafis namoota lama dhiʼeessan; isaanis Yoosef isa Barsaabaas jedhamu kan Yoosxoos jedhamee beekamu tokkoo fi Maatiyaas.
24 They prayed together and said, “Lord, you know everyone's thoughts please show us which of these two you have chosen
Akkanas jedhanii Waaqa kadhatan; “Yaa Gooftaa garaa nama hundumaa beektu, ati namoota kanneen lamaan keessaa isa kam akka filatte nutti argisiisi;
25 to replace Judas as an apostle in this ministry that he gave up to go to where he belongs.”
kunis akka inni tajaajilaa fi ergamtummaa Yihuudaan dhiisee gara iddoo ofii isaatti gara gale sana fudhatuuf.”
26 They cast lots, and Matthias was chosen. He was counted as an apostle with the other eleven.
Isaanis ixaa buusan; ixaan sunis Maatiyaasiif baʼe. Kanaafuu inni ergamoota kudha tokkotti dabalame.
