Kitetidayta Ootho 15
1 Iss issi asati yudappe duge Anxxokiya wodhdhidi “inte Musse woga mala qaxxaretontta oonnikko attana danddaekkista” gidi ammanizayita tammariso oykkida.
Then some men arrived from Judea who started teaching the believers, “Unless you're circumcised according to the rules set down by Moses, you can't be saved.”
2 Hessikka Phawulossayne Barinabassay istta gita palamanine ooshsha giido gellithidees, hessa gish Phawulossayne Barinabassay hara issi issi ammaniza asatara Yerusalame kezidi ha yooza gish cimatane hawarista oychchana mala geetetides.
Paul and Barnabas had many arguments and debates with them. So Paul and Barnabas and some others were appointed to go to Jerusalem and talk to the apostles and leaders there about this issue.
3 Hesa gish wossa kethaya ista Yerusalame bana mala kitin istti Finqqerane Samariyara adhdhi bishe hen diza asa ayhuda giidontta derey ammanoon simmidayssa yootida. He wode ammanizayti hessa siyidi keehi uhaaththaa7etida.
The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they explained how foreigners were being converted, which made all the believers very happy.
4 Istti Yerusalame gakkin wossa keeththa asay hawaretine cimati istta mokki ekkida, Kitteti bidayitikka Xooss isttara gididi ooththidayssa wursi isttas yootida.
When they arrived in Jerusalem they were welcomed by the church members, the apostles, and the elders. They explained everything God had done through them.
5 Farissawista bagga asatappe ammanida issi issi asati denddidi “Ayhuda giidontta dere assi qaxxaristanasine musse woga nagana mala istas yotanas beesses” gida.
But they were opposed by some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisee faction. They said, “These converts have to be circumcised, and instructed to observe the law of Moses.”
6 Hawaretinne cimati he yooza giido loo7eth xeellanas shiqiida.
The apostles and elders met together to discuss the issue.
7 Daroo palamape guye Phixiroossay denddi eqqidi hizzgidees “ta ishato guuththa wodepe kase Xoossi tana inte garssafe dooridi Ayhuda giidoontta asat ta duunape mishshirachcho qaala siyidi ammanana mala ooththidayssa inte errista.
After much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that some time ago God chose me from among you so that the foreigners could hear the message of good news and trust in Jesus.
8 Assa wozina erriza Xoossi nus immidayssa mala isttaskka xiillo ayana immidi istta bees ekkidayssa markkatides.
God, who knows thewhat we're thinking, has shown that he accepts them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us.
9 Istta wozinakka ammanoon geshshidi nu giidonine istta giidoon aykoo shakokka ooththibeyna.
He doesn't make any distinction between us and them—he cleansed their thoughts as they trusted in him.
10 Hessa gish nu aawatine nukka tookkanas dandda7ontta qaambbara ammanizayta toossanas inte aazas xoossu paacceti?
So why do you want to oppose God and put a burden on the believers that our fathers weren't able to bear, and we can't either?
11 Nu attiday liikke isttaththokka Goda Yesussa adhdho keeyatethan gidiidayssa ammanos.
We're convinced that we're saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way they are.”
12 Shiiqida asay wurikka coo7u gini Barinabassayne Phawulossay Xoossi istta baggara Ayhuda giidontta dereta giidoon ooththida gita mallatata gish yootishin malaletidi loo7ethi siyidees.
Everyone listened attentively to Barnabas and Paul as they explained the miraculous signs that God had performed through them among the foreigners.
13 Istti yootti wursiishin Yaqoobey denddi eqqidi hizzgidees “ta ishato ta giza siyite,
After they had finished speaking, James spoke up, saying, “Brothers, listen to me.
14 Xoossi Ayhuda giidontta deretappe bees gidana dere kassetidi izi wostti xeeygi woththidako simmonay nuus loo7ethi yootidees.
Simon has described how God first revealed his concern for the foreigners by taking from them a people committed to him.
15 Kase nabetan hizzgi xaafeetida qaalay hayssara gaggees.
This is in accordance with the words of the prophets, as it's written,
16 “Hayssafe guye ta simmada lalletida Dawite keeth kexxana, Lalletidayssa zaara essana, zaaradakka kexxana.
‘In the future I will return, and I will rebuild the fallen house of David; I will rebuild its ruins and set it straight.
17 Hesikka attida asay Goda koyana malanne ta sunththan xeygetida Ayhuda gidonta derey tana koyanamalakko gees wursi oothida Xoossi.”
I will do this so that those who are left may come to the Lord, including the foreigners who call on my name.
This is what the Lord says, who revealed these things long ago.’ (aiōn g165)
19 Hessa gish, ha Xoossako simmida ayhuda giidontta dereta nu metothontta mala hayisi ta baggara tas qaachcho.
So my decision is that we shouldn't make it difficult for foreigners who turn to God.
20 Gido atin eeqqan tuniidaytappe, layman tuniidaytappe, bawuuta hayqqida mehe asho mussafenne suuthu ushshafe hakkana mala nu isttas xaafana beeses.
We should write to them and tell them to avoid food sacrificed to idols, sexual immorality, meat of animals that have been strangled, and from consuming blood.
21 Musse wogay gidiko beniisopee sambbata sambbata gallas Ayhudata wossa keeththan nababetiishene kaatamay dizasoon sabbakeetishe deess.
For the law of Moses has been taught in every town for a long, long time—it's read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
22 Hessa wode hawaretine cimatt kumeetha wossa keeththa asara gididi ba garssafe issi issi asata dooridi Phawulossarane Barinabassara gaththi Anxxokiya yeedanas qachchida. Ammaniiza asa garssafe wannatizayta Barissabassa geetettiza Yudane Siillase doorida.
Then the apostles and elders, together with the whole church, decided it would be good to choose some representatives and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas Barsabbas and Silas, leaders among the brothers,
23 Istta kushen immi yeeddida dabiddabez hizzges “inte ishatape hawaristapene ciimatappe Ayhude giidontta dere asappe ammaniida Anxxokiyan, sooriyaninne kilqqiyan diza ammaniizayitas nu sarookkay intena gaakko.
and sent them with this letter: “Greetings from us, the apostles and elders and brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:
24 Issi issi asati nuna giidontta ba baggara nu achchafe biidi ba hassa7an inte woziina henne ha qaththidayssane intena mulakkidayssa nu siyidoos.
We have heard that some from our group have confused you with their teachings, causing you trouble. We certainly didn't tell them to do this!
25 Hessa gish guutha asata dooridi dosetida Barnabassarane Phawulossara inteko yeddanas nu wurkka qaala gaggidos.
So we have agreed to choose some representatives and send them to you together with our much-loved brothers Barnabas and Paul,
26 Isti Goda Yesuss kiristtossa gish ba shemppo aththi immidayita.
who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Hessa gish nu intees xaafidayssa istti intes ba duunara lo7ethi yootana mala Yudane Siillase inteko yeedidos.
So we are sending to you Judas and Silas who can verbally confirm what we're saying.
28 Hayita intes koshshiza yootape hara gujjo tooho nu inte bolla woththontta mala nussune xiillo ayanas loo7o milati beettides.
It seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any heavier burden than these important requirements.
29 Hesiika inte eqqas shukeetida ashoppe, suththafe, cuulet hayqqida mehe ashopenne laymman tunidayssafe inte hakkana malako. Inte hayita milatizaytappe hakiikko intes loo7o, Saroon diite.”
You should avoid: anything sacrificed to idols; blood; meat from strangled animals; and sexual immorality. You will do well to observe these requirements. God bless you.”
30 Kitteetida asati moyzeetidi duge Anxxookiya wodhdhida, Hen ammanizayta wurssi shishshidi ehida dabiddabeeza isttas immida.
The men were sent on their way to Antioch. When they arrived they called everybody together and delivered the letter.
31 Deereykka nababidi minththethiza qaalan uhaaththaa7ettides.
After they had read it, the people were so happy for the encouraging message.
32 Yudayne Siillasey nabeta gidida gish daroo zooridi ammanizayta minththethida.
Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, encouraged the brothers, explaining many things, and strengthening them.
33 Hen guutha wode gamiidi ammaniza asay mooyziin guye bena kittidaytako simmida.
After spending some time there they were sent back by the brothers with their blessing to the believers in Jerusalem.
34 Siillasey qass hen attanas kooydes.
35 Phawulossayne Barinabassay hara daroo asatara gididi Goda qaala tammarisishshene sabbakishe Anxxokiyan gammida.
But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of God along with many others.
36 Phawulossay guutha wode gamidi Barinabassa “nu kase Goda qaala yootida kaatamata wursiota biidi ammanizayt aymala dizakkoone ane yuyi beeyoos dendda” gides.
Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let's go back and visit the believers in every town where we shared the word of the Lord, and see how they're doing.”
37 Barinabassayikka marqqossa geetettiza Yanssay isttara baana mala koyiddes.
Barnabas planned to take along John Mark too.
38 Phawulossay qass iza ekki baanas koyibeyna, Gasooykka kase Marqqossay isttafe shaaketidi Phimifilyya gizasoon guye attidi isttara oososu sinththe kezoontta aggida gishaskko.
But Paul didn't think it was a good idea to take him with them, since he'd left them in Pamphylia and hadn't continued working with them.
39 Histtin daroo palamay istta giidon medhdhetida gish ba garssan shaakketi wodhdhida, Hessa gish Barinabassay Marqqossa ekkidi markkaben gellidi Qophiroose bides.
They had such a strong disagreement that they separated. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed to Cyprus.
40 Phawulossay qass Siillase doorides. Ammanizayitikka phawulossa Goda adho kiyatethas hadara immidape guye izi isttafe shaaketidi biides.
Paul chose Silas, and as they left, the believers committed them to the grace of the Lord.
41 Amanizayta minththethishe Sooriyaranne Kilqqiyara adhdhi bidees.
Paul traveled through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the churches there.
