1 W alaalayaal iyo aabbayaalow, maqla isdaafacidda aan imminka idiin sheegayo.

Paul said, “Brothers and fathers, listen to what I have to say to you.”

2 K olkay maqleen inuu af Cibraaniga kula hadlay, ayay sidii hore ka sii aamuseen. Markaasuu ku yidhi,

When they heard him speak to them in their own language, they stopped making noise. Then he said,

3 W axaan ahay nin Yuhuudi ah oo ku dhashay Tarsos oo ku taal Kilikiya, laakiin magaaladan baa laygu koriyey anoo Gamalii'eel hoostiisa wax laygu baray sidii caadadii adkayd oo sharcigii awowayaasheen, anigoo Ilaah qiiro u leh sida aad dhammaantiin maanta tihiin.

“I am a Jew. I was born in the city of Tarsus in the country of Cilicia. When I was a young man, I lived here in Jerusalem. I went to Gamaliel’s school and learned all about the Law of our early fathers. I worked hard for God as you all do today.

4 J idkanna waan silcin jiray tan iyo dhimasho, anigoo xidhaya oo xabsiga geeynaya rag iyo dumarba.

“I worked hard and killed men and women who believed as I believe today. I put them in chains and sent them to prison.

5 S idatan ayay iigu markhaati furayaan wadaadka sare iyo waayeelladii oo dhammuba, kuwaasoo aan warqado uga helay walaalaha, oo aan Dimishaq u sodcaalay inaan kuwa halkaas joogayna, iyagoo xidhxidhan, Yeruusaalem keeno si loo ciqaabo.

The head religious leader and the leaders of the people can tell you this is true. I got letters from them to take to our Jewish brothers in the city of Damascus. I was going there to put the Christians in chains and bring them to Jerusalem where they would be beaten. The Change in Paul’s Life on the Damascus Road

6 O o waxaa dhacday, intaan sodcaalayay oo Dimishaq u soo dhowaanayay, iyadoo duhur ah, in dhaqsiba iftiin weyn oo samada ka yimid hareerahayga ka iftiimay.

“I was near Damascus. All at once, about noon, I saw a bright light from heaven shining around me.

7 M arkaasaan dhulka ku dhacay, oo waxaan maqlay cod igu leh, Sawlosow, Sawlosow, maxaad ii silcinaysaa?

I fell to the ground. A voice said to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you work so hard against Me?’

8 M arkaasaan u jawaabay oo ku idhi, Yaad tahay, Sayidow? Markaasuu igu yidhi, Waxaan ahay Ciisaha reer Naasared oo aad silcinaysid.

I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, the One you are working against.’

9 O o kuwii ila joogayna runtii waxay arkeen iftiinkii, laakiin ma ay maqlin kii ila hadlay codkiisii.

Those who were with me saw the light. But they did not hear Him speaking to me.

10 M arkaasaan ku idhi, Maxaan sameeyaa, Rabbiyow? Kolkaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Kac oo Dimishaq gal; meeshaasaana laguugu sheegi doonaa waxa ku saabsan waxyaalihii lagu amray inaad samaysid oo dhan.

I asked, ‘Lord, what should I do?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Get up! Go to Damascus. You will be told what to do there.’

11 M arkaan waxba arki waayay dhalaalkii iftiinka aawadiis, kuwii ila joogay ayaa gacanta igu hagay oo waxaan imid Dimishaq.

“I could not see because of the bright light. Those who were with me had to lead me by the hand until we came to Damascus.

12 O o mid la odhan jiray Ananiyas, oo nin cibaadaysan ahaa sida sharcigu leeyahay, oo ahaa mid Yuhuuddii halkaas joogtay oo dhanba marag wanaagsan u furtay,

Ananias lived there. He obeyed the Law and was respected by all the Jews.

13 a yaa ii yimid oo iskay ag taagay isagoo igu leh, Walaal Sawlosow, araggaaga hel. Oo saacaddiiba waan arkay isagii.

He came and stood near me and said, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ At once I was able to see him.

14 M arkaasuu igu yidhi, Ilaaha awowayaasheen ayaa ku doortay inaad doonistiisa ogaatid, iyo inaad Kan Xaqa ah aragtid oo aad afkiisa cod ka maqashid.

Then Ananias said, ‘The God of our fathers chose you to know what He wants done. He chose you to see Jesus Christ, the One Right with God, and to hear His voice.

15 M axaa yeelay, dadka oo dhan hortiisa waxaad isaga uga markhaati furaysaa waxaad aragtay oo aad maqashay.

You are to tell all men what you have seen and heard.

16 H addaba maxaad u sugaysaa? Kac ha lagu baabtiiso, oo dembiyadaada iska maydh, adoo magiciisa ku baryaya.

What are you waiting for? Get up! Be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on His name.’ Paul Is Called to Work with the People Who Are Not Jews

17 O o waxaa dhacday, markaan Yeruusaalem ku soo noqday dabadeed, intaan macbudka ku tukanayay, inaan riyooday,

“I came back to Jerusalem. When I was praying in the house of God, I had a dream.

18 o o waxaan arkay isagoo igu leh, Degdeg, oo dhaqso Yeruusaalem uga bax; maxaa yeelay, markhaatigaad ii furaysid kaama ay aqbali doonaan.

I saw Him as He said to me, ‘Get out of Jerusalem! They will not listen to you when you tell them about Me!’

19 M arkaasaan idhi, Rabbiyow, iyaga qudhoodu way og yihiin inaan xidhxidhay oo aan sunagog walba ku garaacay kuwa ku rumaystay;

I said, ‘Lord, they know I took Christians out of every Jewish place of worship. I had them beaten and put in prison.

20 o o markii la daadshay dhiigga Istefanos oo ahaa markhaatigaaga, aniguna waan ag taagnaa oo u oggolaanayay oo haynayay kuwii isagii dilay dharkoodii.

Also when Stephen was killed, I stood there and watched them throw stones at him. Those who threw the stones had me watch their coats.’

21 M arkaasuu igu yidhi, Tag, maxaa yeelay, waxaan kuu dirayaa meel fog inaad dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn ugu tagtid. Bawlos Wuxuu Isku Sheegay Waddani Reer Rooma

The Lord said to me, ‘Go! I will send you far away to the people who are not Jews.’ ”

22 W ayna dhegaysteen ilaa hadalkaas; markaasay codkoodii sare u qaadeen iyagoo leh, Dhulka ka fogee ninka caynkan ah, maxaa yeelay, ma qummana inuu noolaado.

They listened to him until he said that. Then they all cried out with loud voices, “Kill him! Take such a man from the earth! He should not live!”

23 O o markay qaylinayeen oo dharka iska xoorayeen oo siigo hawada ku tuurayeen,

They kept on calling out. Then they pulled off their coats and threw dust in the air. Paul Tells Who He Is

24 a yaa sirkaalkii sare wuxuu amray in isagii qalcaddii la soo geliyo, oo wuxuu u sheegay in karbaash lagu imtixaamo si uu ku ogaado sababtii ay sidaas ugu qaylinayeen isagii.

The captain told them to bring Paul into the soldiers’ building. He told his soldiers to find out from Paul, by beating him, why the people were crying out against him.

25 O o markay suumanka ku xidheen dabadeed ayaa Bawlos wuxuu ku yidhi boqol-u-taliyihii oo ag taagnaa, Ma qaynuun baa inaad karbaashtaan nin reer Rooma ah oo aan la xukumin?

As they tied him up, Paul said to the soldier, “Does the law say that you can beat a Roman citizen when no one has said he is guilty?”

26 M arkii boqol-u-taliyihii taas maqlayna, wuxuu u tegey sirkaalkii sare oo u sheegay, isagoo leh, Maxaad samaynaysaa? Waayo, ninkanu waa nin reer Rooma ah.

When the soldier heard this, he told it to the captain. He said, “Listen! What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen.”

27 M arkaasaa sirkaalkii sare u yimid oo ku yidhi isagii, Ii sheeg, ma nin reer Rooma ah baad tahay? Markaasuu yidhi, Haah.

The captain came and asked Paul, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” Paul said, “Yes!”

28 K olkaasaa sirkaalkii sare u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Waddaninimadan waxaan siistay lacag badan. Laakiin Bawlos wuxuu ku yidhi, Anigu reer Rooma ayaan u dhashay.

The captain said, “I had to pay a lot of money to be a citizen.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”

29 H addaba kuwii doonayay inay isagii imtixaamaan markiiba way ka tageen, xataa sirkaalkii sarena waa cabsaday markuu ogaaday inuu yahay reer Rooma, maxaa yeelay, wuu xidhay. Bawlos Baa Iskaga Daafacay Shirka Hortiisa

Those who were going to beat him left him at once. The captain was also afraid when he heard that Paul was a Roman citizen because he had him tied. Paul Stands in Front of the Religious Leaders’ Court

30 L aakiin maalintii dambe, isagoo doonaya inuu hubsado waxa Yuhuuddu ku dacwaysay, ayuu isagii furay, oo wuxuu wadaaddadii sare iyo shirka oo dhan ku amray inay isu yimaadaan, markaasuu Bawlos hoos u keenay oo soo hor taagay iyagii.

The next day they took off the chains that were holding Paul. The captain wanted to know why the Jews wanted to kill him. So the captain told the head religious leaders to gather for their court. They brought Paul and put him in front of them.
