Acts 24
1 After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
Ichchachchu gaallassape guye qeessista hallqa hananiyay issi issi ciimatarane xerixxulossa geetettiza xabaqara qisariya bides; Isttikka dere ayssiza Filkkiseko shiiqidi Phawulossa mootida.
2 When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
Phawulossay xeeygetti shiiqin Xerixxulossay iza hizzgi mootides “boncho Filkkise! nu ne baggara daroo sarooteth demmidos; ne loo7o aysonkka nu deres loo7etethth beettides.
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Hessa ne loo7o oosoza nu awankka gidin aydekka gidin dhoqqu gida bonchorane galatara ekkoos.
4 But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
Ta ha7i nena gam7isontanne nena daburissontta qanththara nees yootizayssa keyateththan ne nu giza siyana mala wossos.
5 For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Hayssi addezi nus iita hariige gididees; alamen diza Ayhudata wursio bolla meto medhdhes, nazirawe geettetiza wordo asata wanna kaallethizadey izakko.
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
Izi xoossa keeth tuunissana gishin nu iza oykkidos; nu woga mala nu iza bolla firdana qohaaththaidos.
Gido attin olla asa halaqata azazizayssi Lusiyossay gakkidi nu kushshepe iza wollqqara woththi ekkides.
8 By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
Iza mootiza asaykka neekko yana mala azazides. Hayssi nu iza bolla shishshida mootozi wuri tummu gididayssa ne ne baggara iza oyychcha erranas dandda7asa.”
9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
Hinkko Ayhuda asatikka “ee hayssi yoozi wurkka tummukko” giidi ammanettida.
10 When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
Deere ayssiza filkkisey Phawulossay hasa7ana mala ba kushera malatti beesides; Phawulossaykka hizzgides “Ne daroo wodessoppe hayssa dereza ayssizade gididayssa ta erriza gish ta bolla shiiqida mootozas ta nes uhaaththaayssan malthe shishshayss.
11 seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
Ta xoossas gooynnanas Yerusalame biin hachchi tammane namm7u gaallassape daroonttayssa ne ne baggara errana dandda7asa.
12 In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
Xoossa keeththan gidin Ayhudata wossa keeththan woykko kaatama garssan ta oonnarakka palammettishin woykko dere gidoon meto medhdhishin tanna demmibeytenna.
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
Ha7i ta bolla istti shishshida mootozas ay markkaka shishshanas dandd7ettena.
14 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
Gido attin ta nes qonccisana koyzay istti wordo giza Goda ogera nu aawantta Xoossas gooynayssine Musse wogane nabeta maxxahaaththaan xahaaththaetidayssaka wursia ammanayss.
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
Isttikka uhaaththaayssi ooththiza mala takka nagaranchatine xiilloti hayqqope denddanayssa Xoossan ammanetays.
16 In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
Hessa gish Xoossa sinththanine asa sinththan sidhdhey bayndda hanoy tas daana mala wursio wode minnays.
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
Ta Yerussalamepe kezin tas daroo layth gididappe guye ta dere asas maado mishshene Xoossas immetiza mishshe ekka yadis.
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
Tana istti xoossa keeththan demmiday ta hessa gaththishinkko; He wode ta geeyza woga pollishin tanara daroo asine deenna, oshshine shiroykka deenna.
19 They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
Gido attin Isyyape yida issi issi Ayhuda asati dettes; isttaskka tana mootos gaaththizaz diza gidikko ne sinththan tana mooteto.
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
Hessafe guye ta duulata sinthth shiiqikko ta ooththida qohooy diikko he asati yooteto.
21 unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
Tana hayssas gaaththida gasooy ta istta gidoon eqqada (hayqqidaytas denththi dees ga yootida gish hachchi pirdas inte sinthth shiiqadis) ta gaada qaala dhoqu histta yootadis attin hara ta oththida miishshi deena.”
22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
Filkisey Goda oge loo7ethi erriza gish “ola asata halaqata azazizayssa Lusyyossay yiza wode ta inte yooza gish qachcho gidiza yoo immana” giidi istta yeeddides.
23 He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
Phawulossa naggiza xeetu olla asa hallaqay “iza daroo wayisontta loo7etha nagga; iza laggeeti izas koshshiza miishshi ekki yiikko diggofa” gides.
24 After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
Guuththa wodepe kaallidi Ayhuda ass gidida ba machchiyo Dirusilara yides; phawulossaka xeeyigidi Yesuss Kiristossan ammano gish izi yootishin siyides.
25 As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
Phawulossay xiillotetha gishine asi berkka bena haaro gishene burope yaana pirda gish yootin Filikisey babbidi “Ha7i ne ba; hara wode tas gigishin ta nena xeeyga ekkana” gides.
26 Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.
Filikisey Phawulossape gubbo ekkanas uhaaththaayssi ooththi naggida gish daroo wode gakkanaas xeeyigi xeeyigi hasa7isides.
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
Namm7u laythafe guye Phorqiyosa Fisxxosay Filikise ollan shuumetides; Filikisey Ayhudista uhaaththaayssanas koyidi Phawulossa qachchosoon aggagides.
