Acts 7
1 And the high priest said, Are these things so?
Bosi pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi wunyuvula: —Mambu mama bafundidi madi makiedika e?
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.
Buna Etieni wuvutula: —Batata ayi bakhomba ziama, bika luwa mambu ndieka ntuba: Nzambi yi nkemboyimonikina Dise dieto Abalahami bu kaba ku Mesopotami, tuamina kavuanda ku Alani,
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.
ayi wunkamba: Bika tsi aku ayi bibutu biaku vayi yenda ku tsi yoyi ndiela ku monisa.
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.
Buna wubika tsi yi Kalide ayi wuyenda vuanda ku Alani. Dise diandi bu kafua, Nzambi wuntumisa mu tsi yayi lulembo zingila buabu.
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.
Vayi Nzambi kasia kumvana kadi kiuka ko mu tsi yayi, ka diambu ko tini kintoto kioki kalenda tula lutambi luandi. Muaki Nzambi wunvana tsila yi kunvana tsi beni va kimosi ayi nkunꞌandi. Vayi mu thangu yina buna kabutidi kadi muana ko.
6 And God spoke thus: His seed would be alien in a foreign land, and they would enslave and mistreat them four hundred years.
Buna Nzambi wunkamba: nkunꞌaku wela zingila mu tsi yi kinzenza; bela kuwuyadila ayi bela kuwuyamisa
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.
Vayi Nzambi wubuela kamba diaka: ndiela sambisa tsi yoyi yela kuba yadila Bosi bela totuka mu tsi beni ayi bela kuiza ku tsambidila va buangu kiaki.
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.
Nzambi wuvanga nguizani andi ayi Abalahami: nguizani yi nzengolo yi nitu yi kibakala. Abalahami wubuta Isaki, wunzenga mu lumbu ki nana. Isaki wubuta Yakobi bosi Yakobi wubuta kumi bakulu buadi.
9 And the patriarchs, being envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. And God was with him,
Bakulu basumbisa Zozefi ku Ezipite mu diambu di kikhenene. Vayi Nzambi wuba yandi.
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.
Diawu kankudila mu ziphasi ziandi zioso ayi mu nlemvo wu Nzambi, Zozefi wumonika mutu wu diela va ntuala Falawo, ntinu wu Ezipite. Diawu kanbiekila nyadi mu Ezipite dioso ayi mu nzo andi yoso.
11 Now a famine came on all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no sustenance.
Vayi kutotuka kanda kingolo mu Ezipite dioso ayi mu Kana. Ziphasi zingolo ziba mu thangu beni. Bakulu beto basia baka bidia ko.
12 But when Jacob heard of grain being in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.
Yakobi bu kawa ti ble yiba ku Ezipite, buna kuna kafidisa bakulu beto mu khubu yitheti.
13 And during the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's race became manifest to Pharaoh.
Mu khumbu yimmuadi yayi kaba fidisa, Zozefi wukimonikisa kuidi bakhomba bandi ayi Falawo wuyiza zaba dikanda de Zozefi.
14 And Joseph having sent forth, he summoned Jacob his father. And all his kinfolk, in souls, were seventy-five.
Buna Zozefi wutumisa dise diandi Yakobi ayi bibutu biandi bioso. Thalu yi batu boso yiba lusambudi lu batu ayi batu batanu.
15 And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he perished, he and our fathers.
Yakobi wuyenda ku Ezipite, kuawu kafuila va kimosi ayi bakulu beto.
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.
Banatu ku Sikemi, baziku mu biziami bisumba Abalahami kuidi bana ba Amoli, bobo baba nkalanga mu Sikemi.
17 But as the time of the promise approached that God swore to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Sumbu thangu yifueti dedikinina tsila Nzambi kavana Abalahami bu yifikama, buna batu babuelama ayi baluta buelama mu Ezipite
18 until another king arose who had not known Joseph.
nate ntinu wunkaka wukambu zaba Zozefi wutotuka mu Ezipite. Zozefi.
19 This man, who cunningly victimized our race, mistreated our fathers to make their infants be placed outside in order not to keep alive.
Ntinu beni wusadila luvunu va ntuala dikanda dieto, wumonisa bakulu beto ziphasi nate mu kuba kuika baloza bana bawu batsombi mu diambu bana beni babika zinga.
20 During which time Moses was born (and he was well-formed by God) who was reared three months in his father's house.
Yawu thangu yibutukila Moyize, wuba muana wu kitoko va ntuala Nzambi. Zingondi zitatu bambuta bandi bansuekila mu nzo.
21 And when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter took him away, and reared him for a son to herself.
Vayi bambuta bandi bu banloza, buna muana wunketo wu Falawo wuntota ayi wunyundula, wunkitula muanꞌandi.
22 And Moses was reared in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.
Diawu Moyize wulongila mu ndongokolo yoso yi basi Ezipite, wuyiza ba mutu wunneni mu thubulu andi ayi mu mavanga mandi.
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.
Moyize bu kadukisa makumaya ma mimvu, wubaka lukanu lu kuenda tadi bakhomba bandi; bana ba Iseli.
24 And after seeing a certain man suffering wrong, he defended him, and did vengeance for the man being oppressed, having smitten the Egyptian.
Bu kamona wumosi mu bawu, wumonoso phasi, buna wunkotila ayi wuvonda muisi Ezipite mutu wumonisa muana Iseli phasi.
25 And he presumed his brothers understood that, by his hand, God was giving them salvation, but they did not understand.
Wubanza ti bakhomba bandi zilznda sudika ti mu nzilꞌandi Nzambi wela kuba kula vayi basia sudika ko.
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?
Mu lumbu kilanda, wukimonisa kisa bana ba Iseli thangu baba nuana. Wuzola vutula ndembama va bawu bu kaba kamba: —A kiti beno luidi bakhomba! A bila mbi lulembo kimonisina phasi beno na beno e?
27 But the man doing wrong to his neighbor thrust him away, having said, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Vayi mutu wowo wumonisa ndiandi phasi wutemina Moyize ayi wunkamba: —A nani wubiekidi pfumu ayi zuzi dieto e?
28 Do thou not want to kill me, as thou killed the Egyptian yesterday?
Fuana ngeyo minu tidi vonda banga bobo wuvondidi muisi Ezipite kibeni yono e?
29 And Moses fled at this word, and became an alien in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons.
Moyize bu kawa bobo, wutina ayi wukituka nzenza mu tsi yi Madiani, kuawu kabutila bana buadi bababakala.
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.
Makumaya ma mimvu bu mavioka, buna mbasi yimmonikina mu dikanga di mongo wu Sinayi. Wummonikina mu nlaki wu mbazu mu finti.
31 And when Moses looked, he wondered at the sight. And as he approached to examine, a voice of the Lord came to him,
Moyize bu kamona bobo, wusimina mu diambu di tsongolo. Bu kafikama mu kuenda tadi, buna mbembo yi Pfumu yiwakana:
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.
Minu ndidi Nzambi yi bakulu baku; Nzambi yi Abalahami, yi Izaki ayi yi Yakobi. Moyize weka tita ayi kasia nunga buela tala ko.
33 And the Lord said to him, Put off the shoes from thy feet, for the place on which thou stand is holy ground.
Buna Pfumu wunkamba: Vula zisapatu zidi mu malu maku, bila buangu kioki telimini kidi ntoto wunlongo.
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.
Ndimueni ziphasi zi batu bama badi ku Ezipite. Ndiwilu bidilu biawu. Diawu ndizidi mu kuba kula. Yiza buabu bila ngeyo ndieka tuma ku Ezipite.
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.
Moyize beni diodi bamanga bu batuba: Nani wubiekidi pfumu ayi zuzi e? Buabu Nzambi wuntuma mu ba pfumu ayi nkudi mu lusadusu lu mbasi yoyi yimmonikina mu finti.
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.
Niandi wuba totula bu kavanga mambu manneni ayi bikumu mu tsi yi Ezipite, mu mbu wu mbuaki ayi mu dikanga mu tezo ki makumaya ma mimvu.
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.
Moyize beni niandi wukamba bana ba Iseli: Nzambi wela kulutotudila mbikudi wela ba banga minu va khatitsika bakhomba zieno.
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.
Niandi wuba mu lukutukunu ku dikanga va kimosi ayi mbasi yoyi yinyolukila ku mongo Sinayi va kimosi ayi bakulu beto. Niandi wutambula mambu ma moyo muingi katutudisila mawu.
39 To whom our fathers did not want to become obedient, but they thrust away, and turned back in their heart to Egypt,
Vayi bakulu beto bamanga kuntumukina; banloza ayi mintima miawu mibaluka ku Ezipite.
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.
Bawu bakamba Aloni: —Wutuvangila zinzambi zilenda ku tutuaminina ku ntuala bila tukadi zaba mambu mbi mabuilulu Moyize diodi ditutotula mu tsi yi Ezipite.
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered up sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
Diawu mu bilumbu bina, bavanga tumba kimuana ngombi ayi batambika makaba kuidi tumba beni. Bamona khini mu diambu di bima bivanga mioko miawu.
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?
Vayi Nzambi wuba tamba manima, wuba yekula mu sadila zimbuetete banga busonimina mu nkanda wu mimbikudi: A basi Iseli, minu lutambikila bibulu ayi makaba mu makumaya ma mimvu mu dikanga e?
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.
Beno lunata nzo ngoto yi Moloki ayi mbuetete yi nzambi Lefani, zimfikula ziozi luvanga muingi lubi; sambidila diawu ndiela kulunata mu buvika vioka Babiloni!
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.
Bakulu beto baba ayi Nzo ngoto yi kimbangi mu dikanga, yivangama banga bu tumina Nzambi, Nzambi mutu wukamba Moyize ti kavanga yawu boso buididi mfikula yoyi kamona.
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
Bakulu beto bu batambula yawu; bayikotisa mu thangu zozue mu zitsi zi Bapakanu, babo Nzambi kakuka ku ntuala bakulu beto nate mu thangu Davidi,
46 who found favor in the sight of God. And he asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
mutu wowo wumonokono nlemvo kuidi Nzambi ayi wuzola tungila Nzambi Yakobi nzo.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Vayi Salomo wuyiza kuntungila nzo.
48 However the Most High does not dwell in man-made temples, just as the prophet says,
Muaki, Nzambi yizangama kakalanga ko mu zinzo zitungulu mu mioko mi batu, banga bu tubila mbikudi:
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?
Pfumu wutuba: Diyilu diawu kundu kiama, ntoto kiawu buangu ndieti tetika malu mama. Buna phila nzo mbi luela kuthungila e? Voti phila buangu mbi kiela ba vundulu kiama e?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?
Mioko miama misia vanga ko bima bioso biobi e?
51 Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers, ye also.
A beno bankua matingu! Beno luidi mintima mikangama ayi matu mafua! Beno mamveno lukidi tingunanga kueno Pheve Yinlongo mu zithangu zioso banga bakulu beno.
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,
Mbikudi mbi wowo bakulu beno bakambu yamisa e? Bavonda mimbikudi miomi mitubila ndizulu yi “Mutu wusonga”, mutu wowo beno lusumbisidi ayi lumvodisidi;
53 who received the law at directions of agents, and did not keep it.
beno lutambula Mina mu nzila yi zimbasi ayi lusia keba mina beni ko.
54 Now when they heard these things, they were split with a saw in their hearts, and they gnashed their teeth against him.
Bu bawa mambu momo, bafuema ayi bakueta meno mu diambu diandi.
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.
Vayi niandi wuba wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo, wutala ku Diyilu, wumona nkembo wu Nzambi ayi wumona Yesu buna katelimini va koko ku lubakala lu Nzambi.
56 And he said, Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.
Buna wuba kamba: —Talanu, ndilembo moni Diyilu dizibukidi ayi Muana Mutu telimini va koko ku lubakala lu Nzambi.
57 But they, having cried out in a great voice, held their ears shut, and rushed upon him with one accord.
Bayamikina mu mbembo yingolo, bazibika matu mawu. Mu kithuadi baboso batumbu kumfuakana,
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.
bankoka ku fula di divula ayi banzuba matadi. Bambangi batula minledi miawu va malu ma ditoko dimosi dizina diandi Sawuli.
59 And they stoned Stephen, who was calling and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Bazuba Etieni matadi vayi niandi wusambila ayi wutuba: —A Pfumu Yesu, tambula Pheve ama.
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.
Bosi wufukama ayi wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —A Pfumu, kadi kuba tangila disumu diadi! Bu kamana tuba bobo, wufua.
