1 Kahniwotsatsi naasho Ist'fanossh, «Eteets keewan arikeya?» eton bíaati.
The high priest said, “Are these things so?”
2 Ist'fanosuwere hank'o ett bísh bíaniyi, «Ti eeshuwotsnat tnihotso! aab taan k'ewere! Nonih Abraham Karan datsatse beyosh bíamfetsre shino shin Mesp'et'omiya eteets datsatse b́ befere Mangts Ik'o bísh be'eyat
He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
3 ‹N datsatse keer, n jagatse k'alyarr, taa neesh t kitsit datsats amee› bí eti.
and said to him, ‘Get out of your land and away from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’
4 Manoor Keledawiyots datsatse kesht Karani eteets datsats be b́wtsi, b́ nih b́k'irihakonowere Ik'o Karanitse kisht hambets it beyiru datsanats bín dek'et b́weyi.
Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land where you are now living.

He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when he still had no child.
6 B́ naaronuwere ash datsatse gooshtsi wotar b́beetuwok'o datsmanatsnowere awd bal natosh guuts woshde'er was'o kayde'er boon bokewituwok'o bísh keewure b́ teshi.
God spoke in this way: that his offspring would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.
7 Manats dabtnwere, ‹Guuts woshde'er b́ keewit ashuwotsats angshitwe, datsmanatse keer hanoke taan ik'itúne› ett Ik'o keewre.
‘I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,’ said God, ‘and after that they will come out and serve me in this place.’

He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
9 «Yak'ob nanaúwots bo eshuwi Yosefi okoort Gbs' datsatsere guutso b́ wotituwok'o bokemi, Ik'onmó bíntoniye b́ teshi,
“The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him

and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
11 Manór Gbs'nat Kene'an dats jamatse ayidek't ash kic'its k'ak'i eeno b́ woti, no nihuwotsuwere misho daatsosh falatsne.
Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.
12 Ya'ak'obwere Gbs'itse mááyo b́ beyok'owo b́ shishtsok'on tuwreerosh nonihotsi manok b́ woshi.
But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
13 Aani gitlo aanat Gbs'i bo amor Yosef b́ eshuotsesh b́ tooko b́ daneyi, jag bowotonúwere Fere'onokere b́ daneyi.
On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh.
14 Maniye hakon Yosef b́ nihi, Yak'obnat b́ jag jamo b́mandan dek't b́weyi, bo bojametsuwre shabe úts ashno.
Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
15 Mansh Yak'ob Gbs' maantsan bí ami, bínat no nihwotsn manoke bok'iri.
Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers;

and they were brought back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.
17 Ik'o Abrahamsh taart b́ jangitso wotit aawo b́ t'inor Gbs'n beyiru ashuwots taawo ayefere bí ami.
“But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

until there arose a different king who did not know Joseph.

The same took advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to abandon their babies, so that they would not stay alive.
20 Manór Muse b́ shuweyi, bíwere Ik'i shinatse na'i az sheenge b́teshi, keez shashonowre b́nihi meyitse b́ eeni,
At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.
21 Uratso juu k'irewor Fereon mááts naú k'audekat b́ naayik'o woshdek'at b ditsi.
When he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and reared him as her own son.
22 Musewwere Gbs' datsi dani teleef jamo danb́dek'i, b́ keewiru keewonat b́ finonowere kup' wotb́wtsi.
Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
23 «Muse hab nato b́ s'eentsok'on bí eshuwotsi Israe'el nana'úwotsi s'iilo b́ tuwi.
But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.

Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
25 Ik'o b́ weeron boon b́ fakshiyituwok'o b́ jaguwots t'iwints bodek'etuwok'owa bísh araatni b́ tesh, bomó t'iwintsratsno.
He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they did not understand.

“The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, ‘Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?’
27 B́ tooho togiru ashman Museyi okaan gifnit ‹Neenmó noon alituwonat noatse angshituwo kone nee wosh?
But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Oots Gbs' dats asho núd'tsok'o taanowere úd'osh geefiya?› bíet.
Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 Muse man b́shishtsok'on Gbs'itse kesht Midiyam datsomants amt gooshtsi wotat b́beeyi, Manoke nungush nana'a gituwotsi b́shuwi.
Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
30 «Muse datsmanatse hab nato b́beshiyakon Debre Sin woruwotse aat'iru t'ugi atatsi tawi laluwotse melaki iko b́be'eyi.
“When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 Muse man b́bek'tsok'on bíadi, karndek't b́s'iilorowere hank'o etiru Doonzo k'aro b́shishi,
When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, the voice of the Lord came to him,
32 ‹Taahe nnihotsko Izar Izewer taane, Abarhamko Izar Izewer, Yisahak'ko Izar Izewer, Yak'obko Izar Izewer taane, › Muse were shatoon k'ewub́wutsi, s'iloshowere aawo shu'atse.
‘I am the God of your fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Moses trembled and dared not look.
33 Doonzonuwere hank'o b́ eti, ‹N ned'iruwok man S'ayin datso b́ wottsotse n tufitsi c'aamo kishuwe,
The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
34 Gbs'itse fa'a ti ashuwots weralo gond bo bek'iruwok'o bek're, kic'at bo kuhirwono shishre, mansh boon kashiyosh oot're, andoor wowe! taa neen Gbs'its woshona.›
I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.’
35 «Israe'el ashuwotsu Musesh ‹Neen noats altsonat angshituwon woshtso kone?› Eton bín k'efatni botesh, wotowa boko t'ugi atatse bísh be'ets melakiyo jangon alituwonat nas' kishituwon woshdek't bomandan bín b́ woshi.
“This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 Gbs'nat Aats k'ar birokere aditsonat milikito finat bí ashuwotsi kish dek't hab natosh dats woruwtse jishtso Museyiye b́ teshi.
This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
37 ‹Doonzo Izar Izewer taan b́ tiztsok'o mank'o it eshuwotsitse nebiyiyo itsh tuuzitwe› ett Isra'el ashuwots keewutso Museyiye b́teshi.
This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me.’
38 Woruwotse kakuwedek't teshts ashuwotsntonat Sin guri abaatse keewuts Ik'i melakiyonton animank'o no nihotsnton teshtso bíne. Ik'o keewuts kash imetu aap'o noosh beshitsonuwere un bíne Museyiye.
This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to us,
39 «No nihots bína bok'efibako bísh aleratsnee, Bonibotsnowere Gbs' maants aano bo gawi.
to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
40 Aronshowere ‹Noon Gbs'itse kishts Muse han eeg bíyats bodtsok'o no danawotse noshin shinatse sha'arr noon jishituwo Izar izewerotsi noosh doozwe› bo eti.
saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’
41 Manór manz aron dozets Ik'o doozdek't bísh wosho bo t'intsi, bokishi finonowere bogenee'úwi.
They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.

But God turned away and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 Dek'at it amtso Molok gofonat Refani eteef k'enon it arits it ik'oniye b́ teshi, Bowere it kishon findek'at, It boosh it boosh sagadat it teshts ik'irwotsiye, Taawere Babloniye ok it gishetuwok'o woshituwe.›
You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship, so I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’
44 «No nihots woruwotse gawi gofu detsfne b́ teshi, gofmanuwere Ik'o b́ keewutsok'onat b́ kitstsok'o bin fintso Museyiye b́ teshi.
“Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
45 Ik'o boshinatse b́ gishts Ik' ash Woteraw ashuwots datso bo nator no nihots bodek'ts gofani Iyasunton manok bo kindshi, Dawit dúro b́ borfetsosh manoke b beyi.
which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations whom God drove out before the face of our fathers to the days of David,
46 Dawituwere Ik' shinatse baatso daatst Yak'ob Ik'o Izar Izewersh k'ewok wotit moo agosh Ik'o b́ k'oni.
who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
47 Ernmó Ik'í maa agtso Solomoniye.
But Solomon built him a house.
48 «B́woteferor jam falts Ik'onmó ash kishon ageets moots beerake, manwere Nebiyon hank'o ett guut'etsoniye,
However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
49 ‹Daro t be jooroniye, Datsonuwere t tufi ned'oke, Eshe ááwu naari mee taash it agetuwoni?› ‹Bíyok t kashituwokonu awuk'one?› Etfe Doonzoni.
‘heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?’ says the Lord. ‘Or what is the place of my rest?
50 ‹Jaman taa t kishon t finkoshna?› Bíeti Ik'oni.
Did not my hand make all these things?’
51 «It wed'etswotso it nibo is'etswotso! it k'el kúp'uwotso! it nihuwotskok'o jam aawo S'ayin shayiro it k'efiri.
“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.

Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.
53 It Ik'i melakiwots weeron Muse nemo dek'at it teshi, ernmó kotde'atste.»
You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and did not keep it!”
54 Mooshiru jirwots han boshishtsok'on nibo k'únbowutsi, Ist'ifanosi fayat bí'ats gasho bo shas'i.
Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.

But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 Eshe «Hambe, daro k'eshe b́ gwutsere ash na'o Ik'i k'ani aaro maantsan b́ need'efere t bek'iri» bí eti.
and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
57 Manoor bo k'aari eenon bo kuhi, bo waazono is'dekt ik wotdek't b́ maantsan bowos'i.
But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.

They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 Shútson bín bo jot'fere, Ist'ifanos, «Doonzo Iyesuso! t kashu k'aaú de'e!» ett b́ k'oni.
They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
