Ndu Manzaniba 7
1 Ninko Prist a tre ndi, “ikpi biyi ba janji?”
And the chief of the priests demanded if these (things) were so?
2 Istifanus a tre ndi “mir ya ni bati, wo me'. Irjhi wu shulu a tsro kpama ni timbu Ibrahim, niwa ana he ni Mesopotamia, ri nda ka son ni Haran;
But he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hear! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was between the rivers, he had not yet come to dwell in Charan,
3 A lha wu ndi “Don ngbran meme me baba mir vayime, ni rhu hini ngbran meme wandi mi tsro wu.
and said to him, Go forth from thy country and from (being) with the sons of thy family, and come to the land that I will show thee.
4 Mle, a lu don ngran meme Chaldeans nda ka kru ni Haran, rhi niki, ni wa tima a qu'a, Irjh i a njiwu ye ni ngbran meme yi, wa bi ki nituma'a.
Then went forth Abraham from the land of the Kaldoyee, and came and dwelt in Charan: and from thence, his father being dead, Aloha caused him to pass into this land in which you dwell to-day.
5 Ana fon nklan bubu nu du kpa zi ni h'pu mana, a'an, ko wa ani kaza satuma me. Ama, a shirhi, ko da shike Ibrahim ana he ni vivren rhina-andi ani nu bubu ti uma du mba h'puma du k'ma tiwumba kasai-kasai.
And (yet) he gave him no inheritance in it, nor a place of the feet, but he promised to give it to him for an heritage to himself and to his seed, while as yet he had not a son.
6 Irjhi a si a tre niwu tyi, andi h'puma ba son ki ni gbu ndi bari u ndhi bi bgukima ba vu ba ti grand nda du ba tiya wu se derinzia.
And Aloha spake with him, telling him that his seed should be a sojourner in a strange land, and that they would enslave and ill-treat them four hundred years.
7 Ama mi sharanta ni dhi bi wa ba tindu gran nibawua, kpe wa irji tre'a hu gon kima, ba rhu don bubuki nda ye kuqungba rhu nda gbresan ni mu ni bubu yi.
And the nation whom they will serve (in) bondage will I judge, saith Aloha: and afterward they shall come forth and serve me in this place.
8 Niki Irji a nu Ibrahim shirhi wu hanbru ni duta tika, rhini kima, Ibrahim a ngrjhi Ishaku nda hanbru ma ni riwu tandra baya ngrjhi. Ishaku ngame a ngrjhi Yakubu, u Yakubu a ye ngrjhi bacimbu Wlondoha ba.
And he gave to him the covenant of circumcision. And then begat he Ishok, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Ishok begat Jakub, and Jakub begat our twelve fathers.
9 Bacimbu ba ti ngu ni Yusufu, ba banwu le hi ni masar ama Irjhi a he ni wu.
And these our fathers were incited against Jauseph, and sold him into Mitsreen. And Aloha was with him:
10 nda kpa' chuwo ni ya wa a hon tuma'a. A kpayem ni Yusufu mba mren wu tondindi ni shishi kikle Ichu Firona wu Masar wa a ban wu sa ni ruron gomna wu Masar mba nitu koma wawu.
and he delivered him from all his afflictions, and gave him grace and wisdom before Pherun king of Mitsreen, and he appointed him prince over Mitsreen, and over all his house.
11 Ni ntukima, meme iyon a ri kagon Masar mba Canaan, ni meme ya wa a du ba timbu ba wa biri hamma.
AND there was a famine and great affliction in all Mitsreen, and in the land of Kenaan, and our fathers had nothing to satisfy them.
12 Niwa Yakubu a wo ndi wlo biri he ni Masar a ton ba timbu hi ni zrenmba wu mumla.
And when Jakub heard that there was corn in Mitsreen, he sent forth our fathers before.
13 Ni zren wu ha, Yusufu a tsro tuma ni ba mirvayima, u firona a mla to mmla Yusufu nikima.
And when they had gone the second time, Jauseph made himself known to his brethren, and the family of Jauseph were made known unto Pherun.
14 Yusufu a ton mir vayima du ba k'ma hi hla ni timba du vu mmla wawu, ndhi saba'in don ton mba, nda ye ni Masar.
And Jauseph sent and brought his father Jakub and all his family, and they were in number seventy and five souls.
15 Nituki, Yakubu a grjhi hi ni Masar nda ka que niki, ni wawu ba timbu ngame.
And Jakub went down into Mitsreen and died there; he and our fathers.
16 Ba vu ba hi ni Shekem, nda ka rhu'ba ni ibe wa titi Ibrahim a le nitu nkle silva ni wo mir Hamor wu Shekem.
And he was removed to Shechem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought with silver from the B'nai Chamur.
17 Niwa nton wa shirhi a ye weiweire, shirhi wa Irjhi a ti ni Ibrahim. Indhi ba ba ki bran gbugbuwu ni masar.
And when was come the time of that which Aloha promised with an oath unto Abraham, the people had multiplied and increased in Mitsreen
18 Da a tsra wa kikle chu ri a hon ni ruron wu masar wa ana to njo nitu Yusufu na.
until another king had arisen over Mitsreen, who knew not Jauseph,
19 A kyurh ndhimbu nda yo ba ni gbengble du ba rhuni mir nhanha lilon mbu ni duba que.
and he dealt fraudulently against our kindred, and shamefully entreated our fathers, and commanded that their children should be cast away, that they might not live.
20 Ni nton kima ba ngrhi Musa, wa ka bi kpokpome ni Rji ba lura ti wua tra ni ko tima.
In that time Musha was born, and was beloved of Aloha, and was brought up three months in the house of his father.
21 Niwa ba banwu ka zi ni ra, vrenwa Firona a ban'u ti wuma nda njiwu ti vren ma.
And when he was outcast from his people, the daughter of Pherun found him, and brought him up unto her for a son.
22 Ba yo Musa ni bubu tsro mba, niki a mla to tsro ndindi nitu kpi kankan wu bi U bi masarawa ba, ndu ni he ma ba bi hikima.
And Musha was instructed in all the wisdom of the Mitsroyee, and was excellent in words (and) also in deeds.
23 Niwa isema wu ngrjhi ba ti weiweire ni tso-tra-don nza (arbain), a kpre suron du zren hi ni mir vayi ma, ih'pu Isra'ila.
And when he became a son of forty years, it arose upon his heart to visit his brethren the sons of Israel.
24 A krito basi ndhi Israila ri ya'. Musa alu kpa nyu ni ndhi wa basia tiwu ya'a nda wru gu masar wuh.
And he saw one of the sons of his tribe treated with violence, and he avenged him, and did him justice, and he killed the Mitsroya who had offended him and
25 A yotrendi vayima ba mla to ndhi a hi Irjhimba ni tindu ni wu du ba bguc'bu ni womba, ama ba ka'a na mla to na.
hoped that his brethren, the sons of Israel, would understand that Aloha by his hand would give them deliverance; but they understood not.
26 Nivi wuhama, a to ndhi harhi ba si tsi, wa ay'e gaba nda tre ndhi, 'Lilon, be mir vayi; a hi ngye du yi ni tsi kpambi?
And the day after he appeared to them while they strove one with another: and he persuaded them to be pacified, saying, Men, you are brethren; why offend you one the other?
27 Irimba wandi wa wuhi a kpa la ni kpanma'a, a tru yo kosan nda tre ndi “A nha banwu sa nitumbu ichu, wu ga tre nitawu?
But he who had offended his neighbour removed himself from him, and said to him, Who appointed thee over us a prince and a judge?
28 Wu son wu U me to wandi wu wuu gu masra laren'a?
Seekest thou to kill me as thou killedst the Mitsroya yesterday?
29 Niwa Musa a tre yi'a, a vu tsu wru nda ka son tindi u tsir ni kasa Midian, niki a ka ngrjhi mri lon ha.
And Musha fled at that word, and became a sojourner in the land of Median, and there were to him two sons.
30 Niwa ise tso-tsra-don-nzang ati ka hi, U malaika a tsro tuma niwu ni ngbranmiji ni kikle ngblu Sinai, ni lu ni miji.
AND when forty years were there fulfilled to him, there appeared to him in the desert of Mount Sinai the angel of the Lord in a flame that burned in a bush.
31 Niwa Musa a to ilu'a, a ti sisir kpe wa a to ni shishima, nda lu si zren hi weiweire du ni mla ya, a kri wo ilan Baci ni tre ndi,
And while Musha looked, he wondered at the sight. And as he drew near to gaze, the Lord spake to him with the voice:
32 Mmyi mi Irjhi wu ba timbi, Irjhi wu Ibrahim, mba Ishaku, mba wu Yakubu” Musa kri si tsenzankpa nda na la vu suron nda ya ngana.
I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and of Ishok and of Jakub. And Musha, trembling, dared not look upon the sight.
33 Baci a lhawu ndi, jhu lagban wa ahe ni za me rhu domin bubu wa wu kri mba ahi tsatra bubu.
And the Lord said to him, Loose thy sandals from thy feet: for the ground on which thou standest is holy.
34 Mi to iyawa basi nu ndhimu ni masra mi wo gran yimba, m'ba mi grjhiye ye chubachuwo. ye zizan, mi ton hi ni masra.
Seeing I have seen the affliction of my people who in Mitsreen, and his groaning I have heard, and I have descended that I may deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Mitsreen.
35 Musa yi, wa bana kamba niwu, niwa bana tre ndi, “a nha yo tituchu mba wu ga'atre nitawu'a?” a hi wawuyi wa Irjhi a ton du hi ti chu mba wu chubachuwo. Irjhi a ton wu hi zuni wo malaika wa a tsro tuma ni Musa ni miji'a.
This Musha whom they denied, when they said, Who appointed thee over us a prince and a judge? this, sent Aloha unto them a prince and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him at the bush.
36 Musa njiba rhuni masra, kima a hu gon ti kpi bi wa ndhi ba kaahon to tuma, baba bi tron yani masra mba kikle ma wu Reeds, mba ni tsutsu miji niwa ba ti se tsro-tra-don-nza (arbain).
This brought them out, when he had wrought signs and wonders and mighty deeds in the land of Mitsreen, and at the Sea of Suph, and in the desert forty years.
37 Ahi Musa kima wa a lhani ndhi bi Israila ndi, “Irjhi ni nzu anabi ri hon yiwu rhinimi vahimbi, anabi ton me”.
THIS is that Musha, who said to the sons of Israel, A Prophet will Aloha the Lord raise up unto you from your brethren, like me; him shall you hear.
38 Ndhi yi yi a he niba ni tsutsu miji mba malaika wa atre niwu nitu kikle ngblu Sinai, wa ahe niba timbu, mba wa a kpa lantre wu sisren ye nota.
This is he who was with the congregation in the desert, with the angel himself who spake with him and with our fathers at the mountain of Sinai; and he it was who received the words of life to give (them) to us.
39 Ama ba timbu ba kamba ni hutrema, ba tru lhega wru ni kpamba, du ni misuron mba k'ma hi ni masra.
And our fathers willed not to give heed to him, but left him, and in their hearts turned back to Mitsreen,
40 Ni nton kima ba lha ni Hasuna, “La' mir rjhi ni tawu wa a ni njita zren hi. Musa yi, a njita wru rhini meme masra, kina toh ikpe wa a ka tiwu a na
saying to Aharun, Make us alohee that may go before us, because this Musha, who brought us forth from the land of Mitsreen, we know not what is become of him.
41 Niki ba la' vrenlando ni ri baki nda nji ba hadaya (ton?) ni gunki waba la'a, nda ngiri nitu ndu wu womba.
And he made them the calf in those days, and they sacrificed sacrifices to idols, and were delighted with the work of their hands.
42 Irjhi a kaba chuwo du ba boata ni tsitse ni shulu, tohwa bana nha ni mi vunvu wu ba anabawaba. “Bi gon nimu nma miji mba haday ni ise tso-tsra-don-nza wa bi na he ni tsutsu miji'a ko mri Isra'ila?
And Aloha turned, and delivered them up to be worshippers of the hosts of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Forty years in the desert Victims or sacrifices did you offer to me, Sons of Israel?
43 Bi kpa ka'che' molech mba ntse wu vi irjhi Rephan, mba whi ki ba biti ni du yi kugungbarhu ni nzub hon. Nikima, mi vu yi vra zan gbran Babylon.
But you took up the tabernacle of Malkum, And the star of the god of Raphan, Images you have made to worship them; I will remove you beyond Babel.
44 Ba timbu bana he ni ka'che' wu kpewa ba to ni shishimba ni tsutsumiji, me wa Irjhi a noba niwa a tre ni Musa'a, andi du ti tsra ni wa a toa.
BEHOLD, the tabernacle of testimony of our fathers was in the desert, as He who spake with Musha had commanded to make it after the pattern which he had seen.
45 Hu kima, ba timbu ni wo Joshua ana njiba to ninkomba, ba kpa ka'achea nda njiwu hu kpamba niwa ba vu meme a kpa. Irjhi a kpa meme ni wo gbungblu bi bubuki nda zu ba wru ni shishi ba timbu. kaachea a son ni meme'a ye ni nton Dawuda.
And this tabernacle also our fathers bringing brought in with Jeshu to the land which Aloha had given to them, an inheritance from those peoples whom he had expelled from before them, and it was carried until the days of David;
46 Wa Irjhi a kpanyme ni wu nda lhawu ni du wa bubu son ni ko Yakubu.
who found favour before Aloha, and asked to find a tabernacle for the God of Jakub.
47 Ana Suleimanu mba amme ko ni Irjhi.
But Shelemun builded the house.
48 Ama kitoh ndi kikle wushu na son ni ko wa wondhi mme na, toh wa anabawaba ba tre.
But the Most High dwelleth not in the work of hands, as saith the prophet,
49 “Shulu mbahi bubu son tu chu mu, u meme mba hi kpran roro saza mu. A bibi ko rime wa bi mme ni mu inj Baci, ka a ngye bubu u kusi mu?
Heaven is my throne, And earth the footstool beneath my feet: What house will you build me? saith the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest?
50 Ana womu mba ti kpi biyi wawu na?
Hath not my hand made all these?
51 Biyi bi sen tu, biwa bana he kacia surona mba iton mba na, chachu bi kan bi ruhu tsatsra, bi ti to ba tumbi bana ti.
O, hardened of neck and uncircumcised in your hearts and in your hearing, you at all times against the Spirit of Holiness stand up; as your fathers, so you also.
52 Ahi anabi rime wa ba timbu bana tibayana. Ba wuh anabawa wa ba wru guci ni ye ndi wa ba yo wu di 'Analatre na', u zizan biyiyi bibi le ni wu dini wu'u ngame.
For which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted and slain? they who before announced the coming of the Righteous; him whom you delivered up and slew.
53 Biyi wa bi kpa doka wa malaika mba ba mla yowozi, ama bina kpa ti dun na.
And you have received the law by the precept of angels. and have not kept it.
54 Niwa bi niko bawo kpi biyi wa ka ri ba ni suron baka tan nyren ni Istifanus.
AND when they heard these they were filled with wrath in themselves, and they gnashed their teeth upon him.
55 Don a shu ni Ruhu tsatsra, a nzu ya shulu nda toh dokaka Rji, nda to Yesu kri ni wo korhi wu Irjhi.
And he, being full of faith and of the Spirit of Holiness, looked up to heaven, and saw the glory of Aloha, and Jeshu standing at the right hand of Aloha.
56 Istifanus a tre ndi. “Toh, mi si to ni shishimu, shulu bwu, U vren Ndhi a kri ni worhi wu Irjhi
And he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of Aloha.
57 Nitu ki, biwaba son ni tra son bi ninkoa ba ka tonmba, nda yo gro ni kikle lan, nda lu honwu nitu kpe riri.
And they cried with a high voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him, all of them,
58 Ba gbi'e wru ni mi gbu'a, nda ni ta ni tita. Bi wa ba toh zren kpeyi ba ju nklonba wu kora nda kazi ni za vrenze ri wa ndema a hi shawulu.
and seizing they brought him out of the city and stoned him. And they who witnessed against him laid their garments before the feet of a certain young man named Shaol.
59 Niwa basia ta Istifanus ni tita, a sia yo baci nda ni tre ndi “Baci Yesu, kpa viri mu.
And they stoned Estephanos, (he) praying and saying, Our Lord Jeshu, receive my spirit.
60 A kuqungbarhu nda yo ni kikle lan Baci, na vule nitu latre wa ba ti yi na” Niwa a tre kle, a ku rhoku kruna
And kneeling down, he cried with a high voice, and said, Our Lord, let not this sin arise against them. And when this he had said, he slept.
