Tich Joote 7
1 Bangʼe jadolo maduongʼ nopenjo Stefano niya, “Weche modonjnigogi bende gin adier?”
Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
2 Stefano nodwoko niya, “Owetena kod wuonena, winjauru! Nyasaye man-gi duongʼ maber nofwenyore ni wuonwa Ibrahim kane pod odak e piny Mesopotamia, kane pok odar odhi odak Haran.
And he said, "Brethren and fathers, hearken, ---The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
3 Nyasaye nowachone ni, ‘Dar iwe pinyu gi jou mondo idhi e piny ma abiro nyisi!’
and said to him, Depart from thy native country and from thy kindred, and come into the country which I shall shew thee.
4 “Omiyo Ibrahim nodar oweyo piny jo-Kaldea mi odhi odak e piny Haran. Bangʼ tho wuon-gi, Nyasaye nooro Ibrahim e piny makoro udakieni.
Then he came out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, after his father died, He removed him into this land in which ye now dwell:
5 To ne ok omiye girkeni moro e pinyni, kata lowo matin moromo tielo nyono. Nyasaye nosingorene ni en kaachiel gi nyikwaye mane biro aa bangʼe ne biro kawo lopni, kata obedo ni Ibrahim ne onge gi nyathi e kindeno.
though He gave him no inheritance in it, no not the breadth of a foot; but He promised to give it to him for a possession, even to his seed after him; though he had then no child."
6 Nyasaye nowuoyo kode kawacho ni, ‘Nyikwayi nobed jodak e piny moro ma ok margi, kendo nolokgi wasumbini mi nosandgi malit kuom higni mia angʼwen.
And God spake thus unto him, "that his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and they shall in slave and abuse them four hundred years:"
7 To anakum piny ma noketgi wasumbini, bangʼe giniwuogi gia e pinyno mi gibi gilama kae.’
and God said, "I will judge the nation, to which they shall be in slavery; and afterwards they shall come out, and shall worship me in this place."
8 Bangʼe Nyasaye notimo gi Ibrahim singruok kowacho ni yawuowi nyaka ter nyangu. Kane Ibrahim onywolo wuode ma Isaka, notere nyangu bangʼ ndalo aboro kosenywole. Achien Isaka nonywolo Jakobo, kendo Jakobo bende nodoko wuon kwerewa apar gariyo.
And He gave him the covenant of circumcision: and he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
9 “Nikech kwerewago ne nyiego omako gi Josef, ne giuse kaka misumba ne jo-Misri. To nikech Nyasaye ne ni kode,
And the patriarchs, envying him, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
10 nokonye e chandruok duto mane oyudo. Ne omiyo Josef rieko ma kinde gi Farao ruodh Misri obedo maber. Omiyo Farao nokete jatelo maduongʼ morito piny Misri duto, nyaka od ruoth bende.
and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he appointed him governor over Egypt, and over all his houshold.
11 “Eka kech maduongʼ nomako piny Misri gi Kanaan kendo nokelo chandruok maduongʼ e piny ma kata kwerewa ne ok nyal yudo chiemo.
And there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction; and our fathers could not find sustenance.
12 Kane Jakobo owinjo ni cham ne nitie Misri, nooro kwerewa kuno e ote mokwongo.
But Jacob hearing that there was corn in Egypt, sent out our fathers first:
13 To e ote mar ariyo, Josef nohulore ni owetene, mi Farao koro nongʼeyo jo-dalagi Josef.
and at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known to Pharaoh.
14 Bangʼ mano, Josef nooro wach mondo okelne Jakobo wuon mare kaachiel gi wedene duto, mane romo kar kwan ji piero abiriyo gabich.
Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob, and all his kindred, even seventy-five souls.
15 Kuom mano Jakobo nodhi Misri, kuno ema kwerewa duto kaachiel gi en nothoe.
So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died there, he and our fathers:
16 Ringregi ne okel nyaka Shekem mine oyikgi e bur ma Ibrahim nosengʼiewo kuom yawuot Hamor man Shekem.
and were carried to Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre which he had bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.
17 “Kane ndalo ochopo mondo Nyasaye ochop singruok mane otimo ni Ibrahim, noyudo ka kar kwan jowa mane odak Misri ne osemedore.
But as the time of the promise drew near, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt.
18 Bangʼe ruoth manyien mane ok ongʼeyo wach Josef nobedo e loch e piny Misri.
Till another king arose, who knew not Joseph. This king formed crafty schemes against our nation,
19 Ruodhno nowuondo jowa mosando kwereu malit, ka ochunogi mondo giwit nyithindgi oko mondo otho.
and oppressed our fathers, causing their children to be exposed, that their race might be extinguished.
20 “Kindeno ema nonywolie Musa, nyathi mane jaber e nyim Nyasaye kendo nopidhe e od wuon-gi kuom dweche adek.
In which time Moses was born, who was exceeding beautiful, and he was nourished up in his father's house three months: and when he was exposed,
21 To kane owite oko, nyar Farao ne okwanye mi opidhe mana kaka nyathine owuon.
Pharaoh's daughter took him up and nourished him for her own son.
22 Musa ne oyudo puonjruok e kit rieko duto mag jo-Misri, kendo ne en ratego e kit wuoyone kod timbene.
And Moses was trained up in all the wisdom of the Egyptians: and he was mighty in words, and in deeds.
23 “Kane Musa koro ja-higni piero angʼwen, noparo e chunye mondo odhi olim owetene ma jo-Israel.
And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
24 Noneno ka ja-Misri moro goyo ja-Israel wadgi, omiyo ne odhi okonye mi nogoyo ja-Misrino monego.
And seeing one of them injured he defended him, and smiting the Egyptian he avenged him that was wronged.
25 Musa ne oparo ni owetene ma jo-Israel ne nyalo neno ni Nyasaye ema notiyo kode mondo ogolgi e twech, to ne ok gineno kamano.
Now he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would give them deliverance by his hand: but they understood not.
26 Kinyne Musa noyudo jo-Israel ariyo ka dhawo. Notemo thegogi kowachonegi ni, ‘Joka ma, un owete; angʼo momiyo udwaro hinyoru kayiem?’
And the next day he came to them, as they were two of them fighting, and would have persuaded them to agree, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren, why do ye injure one another?
27 “To ngʼat mane sando nyawadgino nodhiro Musa gichien kowachone ni, ‘En ngʼa ma oketi ruoth kendo jangʼadnwa bura?
But he, that injured his neighbor, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Iparo mar nega kaka nyoro inego ja-Misri cha?’
Wilt thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Kane Musa owinjo wachno, noringo odhi Midian, kama nodakie kaka japiny moro mi onywolo yawuowi ariyo.
Upon this Moses fled, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
30 “Bangʼ higni piero angʼwen, malaika nofwenyore ni Musa ei ligek mach maliel e bungu manie thim but Got Sinai.
And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina, an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 Kane Musa oneno mach malielno, nodoko maluor. Kane osudo machiegni mondo onene maber, nowinjo dwond Ruoth Nyasaye kawacho niya,
Now Moses, when he saw it, was amazed at the sight; and as he came near to observe it, there was a voice of the Lord to him,
32 ‘An e Nyasach kwereni; ma Nyasach Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo.’ Omiyo Musa notetni ka luoro omake, kendo ne ok ohedhore ngʼiyo bunguno kendo.
saying, "I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;" but Moses trembling durst not look on.
33 “Eka Ruoth Nyasaye nowachone niya, ‘Lony wuoche e tiendi, nikech kama ichungoeni en Kama Ler!
And the Lord said to him, "Take off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.
34 Aseneno gi wangʼa kaka joga chandore malit e piny Misri. Asewinjo kaka gichur omiyo asebiro mondo agonygi gibed thuolo; koro bi mondo aori idogi Misri!’
I have seen the oppression of my people that are in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. Therefore come now, and I will send thee into Egypt."
35 “Ma e Musa mane oyudo gisekwedo kagiwacho ni, ‘En ngʼa ma oketi ruoth kendo jangʼadnwa bura?’ Nyasaye owuon mane ofwenyorene e kit malaika mane oneno e bungu noore mondo obed jatendgi kendo jaresgi.
This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? did God send, by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush, to be their ruler and deliverer.
36 Ne otelonegi kogologi Misri, kendo notimo honni madongo gi ranyisi e piny Misri, e Nam Makwar, kendo timo honni mamoko bende e thim kuom higni piero angʼwen.
And he brought them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the red sea, and in the wilderness, forty years.
37 “Ma e Musa mane onyiso jo-Israel ni, ‘Nyasaye noyiernu janabi machal koda kowuok e dier ogandau.’
---This is that Moses who said unto the children of Israel, "A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, of your brethren, like unto me; Him shall ye hear."
38 En owuon ne en kodgi e chokruok mane ni e thim, kaachiel gi kwerewa kod malaika mane owuoyo kode e Got Sinai; kendo ne omiye weche mangima makoro wawinjogi.
This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel that spake to him on mount Sinai, and with our fathers; and who received the oracles of life to give unto us.
39 “To kwerewa notamore winjo wachne. Kar timo mano, to ne gikwede kendo chunygi nogombo dok Misri.
To whom our fathers would not be subject, but renounced him, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
40 Neginyiso Harun ni, ‘Losnwa nyiseche moko mondo otelnwa, nikech wakia gima osetimo Musa mane ogolowa Misri!’
saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us; for as to this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. And they made a calf in those days,
41 E kindeno ema ne gilosoe kido milamo machalo gi nyaroya. Negitimone misango, mi gilosone sawo ka gimiyo gima lwetgi ema ne oloso duongʼ!
and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 To Nyasaye nogolo pache kuomgi moweyogi mondo gilam chwech mag polo kaka nyisechegi, mana kaka ondiki e kitap jonabi niya, “‘Yaye jo-Israel, bende ne ukelona misengini kata chiwo moro amora kuom higni piero angʼwen mane un e thim?
Then God turned away, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets, "O house of Israel, did ye offer to me your victims and sacrifices, for the space of forty years in the wilderness?
43 Ne utingʼo malo hemb Molek kod sulwe mar nyasachu ma Refan ma gin, nyiseche manono mane uloso mondo ulam. Omiyo abiro darou mi ateru e piny twech mabor mayombo Babulon.’
yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them by: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon."
44 “Kwereu ne ni kod Hema miluongo ni Hemb Rapar. Hemano nolosi mana kaka Nyasaye nonyiso Musa mondo olose, koluwo ranyisi mane omiye.
The tabernacle of witness was among our fathers in the wilderness, as He, that spake unto Moses, ordered him to make it according to the model which he had seen in the mount:
45 Kane kwerewa oyudo Hemani, ne gitingʼe ka Joshua otelonegi, nyaka negichopo kode e piny ogendini mane Nyasaye oseriembo mondo owenegi. Hemani ne gibedogo nyaka chop kinde mag Daudi.
and which our fathers receiving, they with Joshua, brought into the territory of the nations, whom God drove out from before the face of our fathers, till the days of David, who found favor in the sight of God,
46 Daudi noyudo ngʼwono e wangʼ Nyasaye, omiyo nokwayo mondo ogerne Nyasach Jakobo kar dak.
and was desirous to provide an habitation for the God of Jacob.
47 To Solomon ema ne ogero ne Nyasaye odno.
But Solomon built Him an house.
48 “Kata kamano, Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo ok dagi e udi ma dhano ogero, mana kaka janabi owacho niya,
Though the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands, as the prophet saith,
49 “‘Polo e koma mar duongʼ to piny e raten tienda. Koro en ot machal nade ma dugerna? Ruoth Nyasaye owacho. Koso kar yweyo mara nobed kanye?
"Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what house will ye build for me, saith the Lord, or what is the place of my rest?
50 Donge lweta ema osechweyo gigi duto?’
hath not my hand made all these things?" ---
51 “Un joma tokgi tek, chunyu bor gi Nyasaye kendo udagi winjo wachne! Uchal mana gi kwereu. Usiko utamo Roho Maler tiyo!
Ye stiff-necked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.
52 Bende nitie janabi kata achiel ma kwereu ne ok osando? Neginego nyaka jonabi mane okoro biro mar Ngʼama Kare. To koro usendhoge mi unege.
Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and slew those who prophesied concerning the coming of that righteous One, of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers;
53 Un e joma noyudo chik mane okel gi malaike to usetamoru rito chikno.”
who received the law by the ministration of angels, and yet have not kept it.
54 Kane jobura owinjo weche mane Stefano owacho, igi nongʼondore mi gikayone lekegi.
And when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart and gnashed their teeth at him.
55 To Stefano, kopongʼ gi Roho Maler, nongʼiyo malo e polo mi oneno duongʼ mar Nyasaye, kod Yesu kochungʼ e bad Nyasaye korachwich.
But he being full of the holy Spirit looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God:
56 Nowachonegi niya, “Neuru, aneno polo koyawore kendo ka Wuod Dhano ochungʼ e bad Nyasaye korachwich.”
and he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.
57 Kane giwinjo wachno, mirima nomakgi matek mi gimwomore kuome gi chuny achiel.
Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 Ne giywaye mi gigole oko mar dala maduongʼ kendo gichako chiele gi kite. Joneno mag miriambo nohangone wach moketo lepgi e tiend wuowi moro ma nyinge Saulo.
and cast him out of the city and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man, whose name was Saul.
59 Kane oyudo gichiele gi kite, Stefano nolamo kowacho niya, “Ruoth Yesu, kaw chunya.”
And they stoned Stephen calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 Eka nogoyo chonge piny mokok matek niya, “Ruoth, kik ikwan richoni e wigi.” Kane osewacho kamano, to chunye nochot.
And bending his knees, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this he fell asleep.
