1 Nin nanin ku prist kudawe tirino Istifanu ku,”ilemone na ant alele din belu kite fe kiden are?
Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”
2 Istifanus nin kawa, “Nua nanin a Yahudawa nin na didawe, lanzannin! Kutelle kudewe na tidin ruugye, wa zuru nin cifi bite Ibrahim na wa dutu nanya kusarin Mesopotamia, kafin adak kusarin ka gwirin Haran.
And Stephen declared: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
3 Kutelle nin woeo gye, cino mmin mone na uduku nan na iyayife, duku, udu mmin mona ima dursu fi.
and told him, ‘Leave your country and your kindred and go to the land I will show you.’
4 Amini Abrahem tina acino mmim mone, na Chaldia, amini wa dak Uharan anin soo kikane. Nin kidung ucif me kuu, Kutelle nin belingye anuzu mmimn mone na sosinku.
So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God brought him out of that place and into this land where you are now living.
5 Kubi kone Kutelle wadi asa naa Abraham mmin lisosin me ba. Vat nin nanin Kutelle su gye likawali ama nigye mming mona amasoku nin nisudu me, sa ligan. Nin nanin ma Abraham kubu kone awa dinin nin gono kana ama su ugadu me ba.
He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised to give possession of the land to Abraham and his descendants, even though he did not yet have a child.
6 Nin bung Kutelle belle Abraham, 'Isudu fe masuo kipin limara. ima suo kikane udu akus akalin anas, lisosin mine kikane lin ma yitu licin ari.
God told him that his descendants would be foreigners in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
7 Men ba nani ulada umugunta mine na itaa nono nin son, mba nin nutun min, nin kidun isudu fe madak ida usujaida [lidurun] nan mmin mone.
‘But I will punish the nation that enslaves them,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come forth and worship Me in this place.’
8 Kutelle nin dokace Abraham, asu nono ni lime me[mboo] ukaciya, nanin anit ma yinu inin nono Kutelle ari, Nin mbung ame Abraham se gono lisame Ishaku, kube na Ishaku wa tii ayira kulir, [8days] Abraham su gye ubo[ukaciya] nin mbung ame Ishaku mara gono me lisame Yakubu, Yakubu yita ucif nono likure, alena aYahudawe din yici nanin akune na cif bit.
Then God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, and Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. And Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.
9 Iyiru gono ki kune Yakube laza ayi bara ucifime wa yiru Yusufuku ataa gye kinnayi me. Inanin wa lewu gye nacara nanan kasau, inanin wa yiru gye udu Umasar, kikane amini suo unan licin. Vat nanin Kutelle mini na bung Yusufu ku.
Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him
10 Amini wasugye ukariya kikana anit wani uwahala. Amini wa nigye uhikima kan, amini watii Firaun, ogo Masar, asu umong icine kitenen Yusufu. Nin nanin Firauna nin nin yira gye asu umulki nanya Masar nin yenju kuturan Firauna.
and rescued him from all his troubles. He granted Joseph favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, who appointed him ruler over Egypt and all his household.
11 Dana Yusufu wadin su kata kane, iduru kon kubi na umonli wasali nanya mmin Masar nin Kaana, Anit wa di tikanci kan. Kubi kone Yakubu nin nonome na iwa dinin ni mmonli ba
Then famine and great suffering swept across Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers could not find food.
12 Dana Yakubu lanza imonli lesu din Masar, amini wa tuu nuono me udu Umasarinan di seru imonli li, inanin wa duo idi seru imonli kitin Yusufu, inanin wa yinin Yusufu ku b, inanin wa kpilin kilari.
When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit.
13 Kubi kona nuona Yusufu duo iseri ni monli unbe kikanere, anin benle nanin ame ari. Nin nanere Firauna nin yino an Yusufu a Yahudaweri, nin anit ale na idaa unuzu Kaana nuona mere.
On their second visit, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, and his family became known to Pharaoh.
14 Nanin nin kidun na Yusufu tuo nuona me kilari, inin benle ucif mine Yakubu Yusuf dinin us me nin iyalime idak Umasar ida suo k. Kubi kone Yakube nin nono me wadi akut kuzor nin kutochin
Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five in all.
15 Dana Yakubu lanza nani, ame nin lilari me yga udu Umasar. Nin kidun Yakube kuu kikane, nin na mong akune bit, nin nono me kuu kikane
So Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our fathers died.
16 Inanin wa yiru abi niwo mine idamu kutin bit kikane ikasa nanin kikana ucif bit Abraham naseru nanya kagbirin Shechem.
Their bones were carried back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a price he paid in silver.
17 Akune bite taa gbardan kubi kona Kutelle wa dinin su utucu mine kiti na Msrawe, nafo na ana su Abraham ku ualkawali.
As the time drew near for God to fulfill His promise to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased greatly in number.
18 Umong ugo da a suumulki Umasar, na ame yiru Yusufu ku ba na amere wabun nanin kubikona awadi mulkeba,
Then another king, who knew nothing of Joseph, arose over Egypt.
19 Ugo ne rusuzonanin kurun asu uzalamci kit na kune bite ana nin uwahalakang. Amini wa tii nanin itusu nono nibebene mine idas ni lari mine inan kuzu.
He exploited our people and oppressed our fathers, forcing them to abandon their infants so they would die.
20 Kubi konere iwa maru Musa k, Kutelle, nin yene gye gono ki gigimeri kan. Nin nanin acif me nashe gye nanya kilai nanya tipui ti tat
At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in the sight of God. For three months he was nurtured in his father’s house.
21 Inanin wa ce ghe idas kilare, bara ushonon Ifirauna nan nin seghe ibiu kigawa, amini wa minghe nafo gono mere.
When he was set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.
22 Iwa dursuza Muse ku vat ukoyo na ani Masarawe yiru mu, amini wa gunjo asu imong ezikiki kan
So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.
23 In lonliri kubi kona Musa wa di akus akut kutochin, amini yina kibinai me ama di lisu anit me, a Israila
When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24 Amini wa yene ku Masarawa di fuo ku Israila. Bara nanin amini wa tinin adi buno ku Israila, atina amolo ku Masarawe.
And when he saw one of them being mistreated, Moses went to his defense and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian who was oppressing him.
25 Muse wa suso ku Israila maynnu Kutelle na tuu ghe ada bolu nanin nanya lichin Masaraware. Bara nani ne inin wa yinin ba.
He assumed his brothers would understand that God was using him to deliver them, but they did not.
26 Nin kuiy, Muse yene ku Israila din fuo atimine. Amini wa cina ukosu nani, Anit, anin na biye li nwana a Israila! Bara yanghari idin fuo ani mine?
The next day he came upon two Israelites who were fighting, and he tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why are you mistreating each other?’
27 Ame ulena awa lanza gwana me ukule turno Museku kusari ani benle ''aa ghari taa fi kulauya kiti bit!
But the man who was abusing his neighbor pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us?
28 Udinin suu umoli nafo na una molu ku Masarawe ilenghe?
Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 Dana Musa lanza nanin atin na achino u Masarawe acoo udu mmin Midiniawa. Amini wa ti akus kikane. amini wa suu ilima kikan iwane mara ghe nono niba.
At this remark, Moses fled to the land of Midian, where he lived as a foreigner and had two sons.
30 lon lir akus akuta nas nin kidun, Kutelle seeghe nanya gono kadura me udu kiti Musa. Ani see Musa ku nanya galtun kushoo kona kuwandin jujuki dawo nanya kushoo kukau ku popo likup.
After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.
31 Dana Musa yene nanin asu umamaki, bara ula wadin lii kushe amana kushoo juju kidawo ba, dana ada kupopo kushoo anan yen, amini wa tini alanaza liwui Kutelle yichu ghe,
When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came to him:
32 'Men Kutelleri ulena akunefe na zazu. Men Kutelle Abraham, Ishaku, nin Yakubu na ina zazu. Musa lanza fiu kan atina ketuzu. Alanza fiu yeju kushoo tutun.
‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.
33 Nanin Kutelle woroghe akala akwatak me auro sa udin daukaki. Bara kika na uduku kiti kilauwari kinaniari.
Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
34 Imali yenu elemon na ann Masarawa di ni anit nin ti kanci. Ilanza aniti nin kubi kona idin ghilu. men daa ida bolu nanin nachara na Marawa. Nene fita, bara idin chinu utufi nanya Masar,
I have indeed seen the oppression of My people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’
35 Musa amere wa bung nono Israila, ulena iwa narighe, inin woro, aa ahri na tifi un kulau kitibit! Musare Kutelle na tuu ghe asu umulki mine ani bolu nanin nanyaa lichin amere ule na gono kadura gye kushe walin ghe suu imene.
This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ is the one whom God sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 Musa amere wa nutun akunebite in Masar. aamini wa wasu imong eziki gbardan, nanya Masar bara ana dura Kutelle wa di nin ghe, kurawa kku shine nin akus akuta nas anit Israila nadi nanya kushoo.
He led them out and performed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, at the Red Sea, and for forty years in the wilderness.
37 Ule Musare na awa benli anit Israila, 'Ktelle maa dani nin mong nanya na nit mine asuo kuannabit nafo men.
This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’
38 Ule unitere Musa na awadi nanya na Israila na awadi nanghinu nannya kushoo; amere gono kadure Kutelle wadi nin ghe likup Sinai. Amere Musa na Kutelle na nighetidokoki bite, amere ulena abelin akune bite tipipin tona unan kadure wa belin. Amere ulena ana seru tipipin Kutelle udu kiti bite dana tidin belu nari tusu lisosin linsali ligan udu kusari bit.
He was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. And he received living words to pass on to us.
39 Vat nin nani akune bite wa nari lanzu Muse k, inani wa nari asuo nani udia mine, inani wa dinin suu i kpilin udu Masarawa.
But our fathers refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
40 Bara nani inani wa beli yayame Haruna, 'kele nari kudodo kono kuma suo nari kutelle ayiru nari udu Umasar. Bara ame Muse na tiyiru yeri se ghe ba.
They said to Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us! As for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.’
41 Inani wa kee kutelle kaluka. inani wa nakpiza tihadayu mine mbung kaluke inan zazin kudode, inani wa suu afu nin niwawa bara ilemong na inin kele.
At that time they made a calf and offered a sacrifice to the idol, rejoicing in the works of their hands.
42 Bara nani Kutelle tina chino ukelu nani. Amini chino nani isuu uwui, upoi nin niyin, kitene kitene kane usujaida. ulele di daidai nin tipipi too umong ku uan liru nuu Kutelle n yertin: Kutelle na belin, Anun anit Israila, kubi kona na iwa libun molsu ina nin nakpizu tihadaya mine nanya akus akut anas na iwadi nanya kushoo, inani wa nakpiza meghari ku tihadaye?
But God turned away from them and gave them over to the worship of the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘Did you bring Me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 Bada nanin iwayiru kudaga udu niniti kona kuwa di nin aloli kutelle Molech inani wa suu ghe usujaida. Inan tutun iwa yiru usufa fiyin ulena iwa yichu ghe Rephan. alelere akunki alena iwa kiye inani wa suu manin usujaida na menba. bara nani ima tii ida yiru nilari pii udu kankagbiri dana kadi pii dana ka ta Ubabila.
You have taken along the tabernacle of Molech and the star of your god Rephan, the idols you made to worship. Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’
44 Kube na achif biteiwa di nanya kushoo, inani wa suu Kutelle ku usujaida nanya kudaga nafo awadi nanghinu. Inani wa kiye kudaga nafo na Kutelle na belin Muse ku. kuwa di nafo kona Muse wa yene kitene likupe.
Our fathers had the tabernacle of the Testimony with them in the wilderness. It was constructed exactly as God had directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.
45 Udak kidun, ukon kunebit ayira kutent kone kubi kona Joshua wa dak nin ghinu nanya mminghe. Kubi konere iwa bolu mmin mone, kubi kona Kutelle wa nutun anite alena iwa di nanya mminmone, att nain inuzu. Bara nani Israila kifo mmin moneiman taa min mine, Kudanaghe wadi nanya mine ni duu ayiri ugo Dauda.
And our fathers who received it brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations God drove out before them. It remained until the time of David,
46 Duda taa ayi Kutelle man amini wa tirin Kutelle ku sa akeeghe kilari kika na ame nin vat anit Israila ima suu ghe sujaida.
who found favor in the sight of God and asked to provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
47 Bara nani Kutelle nin woro Dauda ku uson fere Sulaimanu ma keyi kilari kika na anit ma suu usujaida.
But it was Solomon who built the house for Him.
48 ''Bara nani, iyiru kitele katin likara koyan. Na awngya asuo kilari kana ani kiye ba. nafo na Ishaya una liru nuu Kutelle wa nyertin:
However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
49 Kutelle woro ''kitene ukursiyi nighari, kutin tutun kiti patilu nin ghari musu kiyapin kilari imaa keyi mugha? Men litini ina kie imong vat kitene nin kutin.
‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me, says the Lord, or where will My place of repose be?
50 Bara anun anit ari iwaya kelai kilari kana men wanya isuu nanya kinin ba?
Has not My hand made all these things?’
51 Anun anit atimine di gagan kitime! idi nafo akune minere! iani naru Ufunu lauwe, nafo na ini suu!
You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers did.
52 akune mine watii anan liru nuu Kutelle ti kanchi kan. Inani wa molu alena iwa beli ubelen dakin Kristi, amere ma chas ana nonko kibinai Kutelle man. Kristi une na malin dak! Amere ule na na ina kpilin nanan ni vira meinani na yisi imolughe!
Which of the prophets did your fathers fail to persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One. And now you are His betrayers and murderers—
53 Anughere anite na ina seru tidokoki Kutelle. Too tidokore Kutelle nani gono kadura me ani acif bite, vat nanma na ina durtu ti dokokeba.
you who received the law ordained by angels, yet have not kept it.”
54 Kube na anan ma wucuwucu na Yahudawe nin saure lanza vat elemon na Istifanus benle, inani wa lanza ayii ka. Inani wa din talu na yini mine bara ilemong na Istifanu benle nanin!
On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were enraged, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
55 bara nani Ufunu ulau tin nonko kibinai Istifanus. Amini tii iyizime kitene kane atina ayene ikanan laa Kutelle. Amini wa yene Yesu ku yisin mbung chara ulime Kutelle.
But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
56 ''Yene,''aworo'' iyene kutenle puno, imini yene gono nit yisin kusari chara ulime Kutelle
“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
57 Dana anan ma wucuwucu na Yahudawe nin usaura mine lanza. inani watii inteed kan. Inani wa tursu atuf mine ninna chara bara na iwa lanza ghe ba, sa umolukubi itinna imuna tii kiti me.
At this they covered their ears, cried out in a loud voice, and rushed together at him.
58 Inani iwa wunun gh udu udas kagbire Urshalima tina tauzu ghe nin na tala. Anit alena iwa suu kinu kitene me itina kala alituk mine ichau kupopo ko kunyana lisamw Shawulu amini wa suu uhaa nalituk ke.
They dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 Dana ilau ubun tauzu ghe nin natale, Stifanus taa nlira,''Ucikilari nin Yesu sere ifip nighe!
While they were stoning him, Stephen appealed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
60 Nin nani Stifanus tin na adeu kitin ani jartin, Cikilari, na uwa kifo nani kulapi kona ba! Nin kidun na benle nani, atina kuu.
Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
