Acts 7
1 And the high priest said, Are these things so?
Vaihma kacue ni Stiven koe, ahnimouh ni a dei awh e heh atang maw, telah a pacei.
2 And he said, Men! Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran.
Stiven ni, hmaunawnghanaw hoi apanaw thai awh haw. Maimae na pa Abraham teh Haran kho a cei hoehnahlan, Mesopotamia ram ao nah ka lentoe e Cathut ni a kamnue pouh teh,
3 And he said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and from thy kinfolk, and come into a land that I will show thee.
na ram hoi na imthungkhu cettakhai nateh kai ni na patue e ram dawk cet haw, atipouh.
4 Then after coming out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran. And from there, after his father died, God resettled him in this land in which ye now dwell.
Hatdawkvah ahni ni Khaldean ram a ceitakhai teh Haran khovah ao. A na pa a due hnukkhu hoi Cathut ni atu maimouh onae ram dawk a kampuen sak.
5 And he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep. And he promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, although there was no child by him.
Hatei, hote ram dawk e râw pang hanlah bang tica hai poe hoeh. Abraham ni a ca a cun hoehnahlan Cathut ni ahni hoi catounnaw hanlah hote ram teh râw lah poe hane lawk a kam toe.
6 And God spoke thus: His seed would be alien in a foreign land, and they would enslave and mistreat them four hundred years.
Cathut ni ahnie catounnaw teh ayânaw e ram dawkvah imyin lah ao awh han tie hoi hote ram dawk a kum cumpali touh thung san lah ao a vaiteh rektapnae a khang awh han telah a ti.
7 And I will judge the nation to whomever they will be in bondage, God said, and after these things they will come forth and serve me in this place.
Cathut ni ahnimouh san lah ka hno e naw lawk ka ceng han ati. Hahoi ahnimanaw ni hote ram dawk hoi a tâco awh vaiteh hete a hmuen koehoi kai na bawk awh han, telah a ti.
8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. And Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
Cathut ni vuensomanae hoi kâkuen e lawkkamnae hah Abraham koe a poe teh, a ca Isak a sak hoi hnin taroe navah vuensomanae a sak pouh. Isak ni a capa Jakop a sak teh mintoe hlaikahni touh e na pa lah ao.
9 And the patriarchs, being envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. And God was with him,
Mintoenaw ni Joseph hah a ut awh dawkvah Izip ram lah a yo awh. Hateiteh Cathut ni Joseph teh a okhai.
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he appointed him governor over Egypt and his entire house.
Ahnie a rucatnae koehoi a hlout sak. Lungangnae hah a poe teh Izip siangpahrang ni Izip ram hoi Faro siangpahrang e a imthungnaw a uk sak.
11 Now a famine came on all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no sustenance.
Hahoi, Izip ram hoi Kanaan ram pueng dawk takang a tho teh rucatnae puenghoi a kâhmo awh dawkvah maimae mintoenaw teh a ca hane tawn awh hoeh.
12 But when Jacob heard of grain being in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.
Hatei Jakop ni Izip ram vah rawca ao e a thai navah maimae mintoenaw apasuek lah a patoun.
13 And during the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's race became manifest to Pharaoh.
Apâhni lah a cei awh navah Joseph ni a hmaunaw koe amahoima a kâpâpho teh Joseph miphunnaw hah Faro siangpahrang ni a panue.
14 And Joseph having sent forth, he summoned Jacob his father. And all his kinfolk, in souls, were seventy-five.
Hahoi, Joseph ni tami a patoun teh a na pa Jakop hoi a miphunnaw tami 75 touh e hah koung a kaw.
15 And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he perished, he and our fathers.
Hottelah Jakop ni Izip ram lah a cei teh, ahni hoi maimae mintoenaw teh hote ram dawkvah a due awh toe.
16 And they were carried into Shechem, and laid in the sepulcher that Abraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of Hamor of Shechem.
Ahnimae ronaw teh Shekhem kho lah a kâkayawt awh teh hote kho dawk hoi Abraham ni Hamor canaw koe tangka hoi a ran e phuen dawkvah a pakawp awh.
17 But as the time of the promise approached that God swore to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Cathut ni Abraham koe lawkkam e atueng akuep e patetlah Izip ram kaawm e taminaw puenghoi a kamphung,
18 until another king arose who had not known Joseph.
A hnukkhu teh Joseph ka panuek hoeh e Siangpahrang alouke ni Izip ram a uk.
19 This man, who cunningly victimized our race, mistreated our fathers to make their infants be placed outside in order not to keep alive.
Hote siangpahrang ni maimae miphun a dum teh, camonaw hah tâkhawng vaiteh hring sak hoeh hanelah a ngai dawkvah maimae mintoenaw a rektap awh.
20 During which time Moses was born (and he was well-formed by God) who was reared three months in his father's house.
Hote tueng navah, Mosi a khe. Ahni teh Cathut hmalah a mei kahawipoung e camo lah ao teh, a na pa e im dawk thapa yung thum touh thung khetyawt e lah ao.
21 And when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter took him away, and reared him for a son to herself.
Im dawk hoi a tâcokhai hnukkhu Faro canu ni a ca lah a kawk.
22 And Moses was reared in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.
Mosi teh Izipnaw e thoumthainae pueng hah a cang teh, lawk dei koe lahai, tawksak koe lahai a thakaawme lah ao.
23 But when a forty year time span was fulfilled by him, it came into his heart to go help his brothers, the sons of Israel.
Mosi teh kum 40 touh a pha navah a miphun Isarelnaw khetyawt hane lungpouk a tawn.
24 And after seeing a certain man suffering wrong, he defended him, and did vengeance for the man being oppressed, having smitten the Egyptian.
Tami buet touh teh Izip tami tongpa ni a rektap lahun navah a hmu teh amae miphun kampangkhai teh Izip tami hah a thei.
25 And he presumed his brothers understood that, by his hand, God was giving them salvation, but they did not understand.
Mosi ni a kut hoi amae hmaunawnghanaw hlout nahanlah Cathut ni kâ na poenae kong hah ahnimouh ni a panue han doeh toe telah a pouk ei ahnimouh ni panuek thai awh hoeh.
26 And on the next day he was seen by them as they fought, and he was reconciling them for peace, having said, Men, ye are brothers. Why is it that ye wrong each other?
A tangtho vah, Mosi ni Isarel miphunnaw amamouh hoi mamouh lawkpungnae a sak awh e hah a hmu navah, bangkongmaw hettelah na o awh, atipouh hnukkhu a rahak dawk kâponae a sak.
27 But the man doing wrong to his neighbor thrust him away, having said, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Hateiteh ka yon e ni Mosi a tanawt teh, apinimaw nang hah kaie lathueng vah lawkcengkung lah na ta vaw.
28 Do thou not want to kill me, as thou killed the Egyptian yesterday?
Nang teh paduem e Izip tami na thei e patetlah kai hai thei hanelah na noe maw atipouh.
29 And Moses fled at this word, and became an alien in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons.
Hote lawk hah Mosi ni a thai toteh Midian ram lah a yawng teh, hawvah imyin lahoi capa kahni touh a sak.
30 And forty years having been fulfilled, an agent of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai in a flame of fire of a bush.
A kum 40 touh a kuep hnukkhu Sinai mon dawk e thingyei yon dawkvah, kalvantami teh Mosi koe buruk dawk hmai ka kang e lahoi a kamnue.
31 And when Moses looked, he wondered at the sight. And as he approached to examine, a voice of the Lord came to him,
Mosi ni a hmu e hah a kângairu dawkvah kahnai lahoi khet hanelah buruk koe lah a cei navah Bawipa e lawk a thai teh,
32 I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. But Moses, who developed trembling, dared not examine.
Kai teh na mintoenaw e Cathut, Abraham, Isak, hoi Jakop e Cathut lah ka o ati. Mosi teh a taki lawi vah a pâyaw teh khen pateng khen ngam hoeh.
33 And the Lord said to him, Put off the shoes from thy feet, for the place on which thou stand is holy ground.
Bawipa ni Mosi hanlah, na khokkhawm hah rading, bangkongtetpawiteh, na kangduenae hmuen teh kathounge hmuen doeh.
34 Having looked, I saw the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I heard their groaning, and I came down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
Izip ram thung kaie taminaw ni a khang e hah ka hmu. A hramki awh e ka thai teh ahnimanaw rungngang hanelah ka kum toe. Atu cet leih! Nang teh Izip ram lah na patoun han atipouh.
35 This Moses whom they refused, having said, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge? This man God sent, a ruler and a liberator by the hand of the agent who appeared to him in the bush.
Mosi heh Isarelnaw ni a pahnawt e doeh. Maimae lathueng vah apinimaw lawkceng han e, hoi na ka uk hanlah a ta, ati awh. Hateiteh, ahni teh buruk thung kamnuek e kalvantami ni ukkung hoi kahloutkhaikung lah a patoun.
36 This man brought them forth after performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
A taminaw hah Izip ram hoi a tâcokhai teh, Izip ram, tuipui paling, hoi thingyei yon dawkvah kum 40 touh thung kângairunae hoi, mitnoutnae hnonaw a sak.
37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you, from your brothers, like me.
Hote Mosi teh Isarelnaw koe, Cathut ni nangmae hmaunawnghanaw thung dawk kai hoi kâvan e profet buet touh nangmouh hanlah ka tâco sak han, telah dei e hah doeh.
38 This is he who became in the congregation in the wilderness with the agent who spoke to him on the mount Sinai, and of our fathers who received living oracles to give to us.
Ahni teh Sinai mon vah, ahni koe lawk ka dei e kalvantami hoi, maimae mintoenaw cungtalah kahrawngum vah kaawm e taminaw koe ao teh maimouh na poe hane kahring e lawk maimouh koe ka phatsakkung lah ao.
39 To whom our fathers did not want to become obedient, but they thrust away, and turned back in their heart to Egypt,
Hatei, maimae mintoenaw ni a lawk ngâi awh hoeh, ahni hah a hnoun awh teh ahnimae a lungthung vah Izip ram dueng a doun awh.
40 after saying to Aaron, Make gods for us who will lead us. For this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.
Hatdawkvah Aron koe maimouh Izip ram hoi na katâcawtkhaikung hote Mosi teh bangtelamaw ao tie maimouh ni panue hoeh toung dawkvah maimouh hmalah kahrawikung hane cathutnaw hah kaimouh han lah sak awh leih telah a hei awh.
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered up sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
Hottelah hoiyah ahnimouh ni hatnae atueng dawk maitoca meikaphawk a sak awh teh, hote meikaphawk koe thueng hanelah a sin awh teh, amamae kut hoi sak e dawk a konawm awh.
42 But God turned, and gave them over to serve the host of heaven, just as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Hatnavah Cathut ni ahnimouh a hnamthun takhai teh ahnimouh han kalvan âsi, thapanaw a bawk sak. Profetnaw e cauk dawkvah, Isarelnaw nangmouh ni kahrawngum vah kum 40 touh thung thueng hanelah saringnaw hoi thueng e naw teh kai koe ouk na sin a maw.
43 And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, the images that ye made to worship them. And I will deport you beyond Babylon.
Nangmouh ni Molek e rim hoi namamae âsi cathut Rephan hah na sin awh. Hotnaw teh nangmouh ni bawk han kawi lah na sak awh e meikaphawknaw doeh. Hatdawkvah kai ni nangmouh teh Babilon ram hloilah ditouh na hrek awh han telah a thut.
44 The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, just as he arranged (he who spoke to Moses), to make it according to the pattern that he had seen.
Mosi ni a hmu e hoi kâvan lah lawkpanuesaknae sak hanelah, kâ ka poe e ni a lawk poe e patetlah hote lukkareiim teh kahrawngum maimae mintoenaw koe ao.
45 Which also our fathers, having received in succession, brought in with Joshua into the possession of the nations whom God drove out from the presence of our fathers, until the days of David
Maimae mintoenaw ni hote rim hah a pang awh teh maimae mintoenaw e hmalah Cathut ni pâlei e Jentelnaw e ram a la awh toteh Joshua hoi hote rim hah a sin awh teh Devit se totouh ao.
46 who found favor in the sight of God. And he asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
Devit ni Cathut e a lungmanae a coe teh Jakop e Cathut ao, nahane hmuen sak hanlah a ratoum,
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Hateiteh, Cathut hanelah im kasakkung teh Solomon doeh.
48 However the Most High does not dwell in man-made temples, just as the prophet says,
Hatei, Lathueng Poung ni tami kut hoi sak e bawkim dawk awm hoeh.
49 The heaven is to me a throne, and the earth a footstool of my feet. What house will ye build for me? says the Lord. Or what is the place of my rest?
Hete kong dawkvah Bawipa ni, kalvan teh kaie bawitungkhung doeh, talai teh khok ka toungnae doeh. Nangmouh ni bangpatet e im maw kai han na sak awh han. Bang patet e hmuen dawk maw kai ni ka o han.
50 Did not my hand make all these things?
Hete hno pueng teh kama e kut sak nahoehmaw., telah Cathut ni ati e profetnaw ni a dei e patetlah khoup ao.
51 Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers, ye also.
Na lung a len teh, hnâ hoi lungthin dawkvah vuensoma lah kaawm hoeh e nangmanaw haiyah na mintoenaw patetlah Kathoung Muitha na taran awh.
52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold about the coming of the Righteous man, of whom ye now have become betrayers and murderers,
Nangmae na mintoenaw ni a rektap boihoeh e profetnaw ao maw, ahnimouh teh kathounge bawi a tho han tie sut ka dei e naw a thei awh. Atuvah nangmouh teh hote Tami Kalan hah ka pahnawtkungnaw hoi kathetkungnaw lah na o awh.
53 who received the law at directions of agents, and did not keep it.
Nangmouh teh kalvantaminaw koehoi poe e Cathut e phung lawk hah na hmu awh ei, sak han na ngai awh hoeh atipouh.
54 Now when they heard these things, they were split with a saw in their hearts, and they gnashed their teeth against him.
Ahnimouh teh hete konglam a thai awh navah a lungthung hoi Stiven koe puenghoi a lungkhuek awh teh hâ a katâ awh.
55 But being full of the Holy Spirit, having gazed into heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
Hatnavah Stiven teh Kathoung Muitha hoi akawi teh kalvan lah a moung navah Cathut e bawilennae hoi Jisuh teh Cathut e aranglah a kangdue e hah a hmu.
56 And he said, Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.
Khen haw kalvannaw a kamawng teh tami Capa ni Cathut e aranglah a kangdue e ka hmu telah a dei.
57 But they, having cried out in a great voice, held their ears shut, and rushed upon him with one accord.
Hatnavah ahnimouh teh puenghoi hram laihoi a hnâ a tabuem awh teh Stiven koe a yawng awh.
58 And having expelled him out of the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments beside the feet of a young man called Saul.
Ahni hah kho alawilah a sawn awh teh talung hoi a dei awh. Kapanuekkhaikungnaw ni hai amamae angkinaw Sawl tie thoundoun e a khok koe a ta awh.
59 And they stoned Stephen, who was calling and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Stiven ni, Bawipa Jisuh ka muitha hah dâw leih, telah talung hoi a dei awh lahun nah Cathut koe a ratoum.
60 And having knelt down, he cried out in a great voice, Lord, place not this sin to them. And after saying this, he slept.
Hahoi Stiven ni a khokcuengkhuem teh Bawipa hete yonnae teh ahnimae lathueng bawt sak hanh telah puenghoi a hram teh a due. Sawl ni hai Stiven a thei awh e hah a lungkuep van.
