Acts 7
1 The high priest said, “Are these things so?”
Qeessista halaqay Isxifanose “haysi ne bolla shiqqida yozi tuumee?” gi oychides.
2 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,
Isxxifanoseykka hizigides “Ta ishaato, ta awwato ta giizaysa siyite nu awa Abramey Kaarane yanappe kasse buro Mesophoxomiyan dishin bonncho Goday izas qonccidi
3 and said to him, ‘Get out of your land and away from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’
(Ne dereppene ne dabbofe shakeistada ta neena bessizaso ba) gides.
4 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.
Izikka Kaldawista biittafe kezidi Karane biittan uttides. Iza away hayqqidappe guye inte ha7i dizaso ha dere iza ehidees.
5 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.
Haray atoshin issi toy eqiza gadey izas hayssafe immetibeyna. Gido attiin he wode izas issi naykka baynnida dishin izzine izappe guyen iza zerethi biittiyo laatana mala Xoossi izas ccaqqides.
6 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.
Qassekka Xoossi izas hizigi yotides (ne zerethi alagga biittan bete ass gidana. Oyddu xeettu layth aylletetha qammibara garsan wayistana.
7 ‘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.’
Gido attiin ista aylle mala harza dere ta qaxxayana. Hessafe guye isti he biittafe kezzidi haanno ha soyin tas goynana.)
8 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.
Hesafe guye qaxxara woga ccaqo izas immides. Abrameykka Yisaqa yellidi iza osppuntha gallasa qaxxarides. Yisaqayka Yaqobe yellides. Yaqobeykka tamane namm77u qomota yellides.
9 “The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him
He qommota awatti yosefo bolla qanattetidi iza aylletethas duge Gibixe bayzzida. Gido attiin Xoossi izara dees;
10 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.
meto wursofe iza ashides. Gibxe kawo Faaronne sinthan bonncho qumma7isides. Faronney iza Gibxe biitaninne ba keeththa asa wurso bolla alafethethan shuumiides.
11 Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.
He wode Kanaaneninne Gibixen daro metto ehida gita koshay dennidides. Nu awataskka miza kaathi dhayides.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
Yaqobey Giibixe deren kaathi dizayssa siyiddi nu aawata koyyro Gibxe yediides.
13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh.
Istti nam77antho biza wode Yosefoy izi oonakkone bena ba ishatas qonccisides. Faroneykka Yosefo ishshata erides.
14 Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
Hessafe guye Yosefoy kiitidi ba aawa Yaqobenne laappuun tamane ichachu gidiza ba dabota kuummeth ehiisides.
15 Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers;
Yaqobey duge Gibxe woodhdh7ides. Izikka nu aawatikka wuri heen hayqqida.
16 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.
Ista ahaykka Seekkeme gizaso ehaaththain Abramey Eemore nayytappe ba miishan shammida duhaaththaon moggettides.
17 “But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Xoossi Abrames caaqqida qalay polletiza wodey maatishin Gibixen diza nu asa qodday dari dari bides.
18 until there arose a different king who did not know Joseph.
Hesafe guye Gibixe bitan yoosefo eronta hara kawoy kawotides.
19 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.
Izikka nu asa ba geene oothon metoothides. Buuro yelletida guutha naytti hayqqana malane yelliidayta kare kessi wora yeganamala wolliqathides.
20 At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.
He wode Musey yeletides. Izikka Xoossa achan dosetida malla loo7o na gidides. Be aawa keeththan hedzdzu aggina all7isson diccides.
21 When he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and reared him as her own son.
Izi gede worra yeegettida wode kawwo Farone macca nayya deemada bees ekkadus. Be na mala oothada dichadus.
22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
Museykka Gibxista eraatetha wurssi tammarides. Yoon erra, oothonikka miinno gididees.
23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
“Muse laaythi ooydu tamu gida wode Musey ba ishata Isira7elle nayta beyanas ba wozinan qoppides.
24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
Izikka isi Giibixe assi Muse baga asappe isi ura bolla qooho gaathishin beyiddi ba bagga adeza madidi he Gibxe adeza wodhidi he qoheetidayssa hallo keesides.
25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they did not understand.
Muses Xoossi iza kushshen issta wozanayssa iza asay akekkiza millatides. Gido atiin issti hessa yuushi qoppibeyteena.
26 “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?’
Wontetha gallas qasekka Isira7elle naytappe nam7ati ba garssan oyeetishin gakkidi oyetizayta iginthanas koyydi (haytto asato inte inte garssan ishantakko, inte wannidi issay issa qoheetii?) gides.
27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
Be lageza bolla qoho gathidaysi Muse suggi yeggidi (Nena nu bolla nuna haarizadene nu bolla piridizade oothi shuumiday oonee? woykko qamma Gibxe adeza wodhoyssatho tannaka wodhana koyaazii?) gides.
28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
Musey hessa siyidda mala Midiyame biitta beettidi hen bete ass gidi deyyides. Heenkka nam77u atuma na yeellides.
30 “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.
Hessafe oydu tammu laythafe guuye Siina zuma achchan diza bazza biittan qerii worra gidon exxiizza taamma laccon kiitannchay izas bettides.
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, the voice of the Lord came to him,
Museykka iza beeydamala mallaleetides. Azakone shaki eranas izzi he izako shiqqishin Goda qalay “tanni ne awannta Xoossa abirame Yisaqane Yaqobe Xoossa gishin siydees. Museykka daro dagammides, xeellanaskka xalibeyna.
32 ‘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 The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
Godaykka izas hayssi ne eqqidasoy geeshaso gidiida gish ne toope ccamma shoda. Gibxen diza ta dereta waye ta tuumappe beyadis. Issti wasiza issta waye waso siiyada ista ashshanas woodhdhadis. Ne ha7ikka haya ta nena duge Giibixe zarada kiitana gides.
34 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 “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.
Histtin heyyti (nu bolla neena haarizadenne piridizade histti ooni shuumedee?) giidi asay kaase kadhdhida Musse Xoossi qeeri woora gidon izas beetida kiitancha bagara issta haarizadenne ashizade hisitidi istaako zarri yeedides.
36 This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
Izikka ista kallethidi Gibxeppe keesides. Gibxen, zo7o abbanine bazo biittan oyydu taammu laythi daro mallalsiza miishatane gita malatata istas oothides.
37 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.’
Isrra7elle nayytas ta mala nabe Xoossi inte garsafe dennthana gidaysi hayssa Musekko.
38 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,
Izikka Siina zuma bolla hassa7ida kitancharanne bazo biitan nu awatara dere dullata giidon dees. Deyyo qalakka ha nuus aathanas ekkides.
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
Nu awati gidiko izara eqqetida attiin izas azazistanas koyoonta gish ba wozinara guuye Giibbxe simmida.
40 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.’
Aarooneskka (Nu sinnthara biiza eeqqa nus gigisa nuna Giibbixefe kaallethi kessida Musey wanidako nu erroko) giida.
41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
He wode mara miisile meedhdhidi eqqas yarsho shishida. Berkka medhida ba kuushe oothon uhaaththaa7ettidane guppiida.
42 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?
Gido attiin Xoossi isttas zokko zarides. Isti sallo xollinntistas goynana mala aththi immides. Hesikka nabbista mxxaafan “inteno Isra7elle nayto inte baazo biittan oyddu tamu layth diza wode intefe yarshone muuna tas shishi ereetii?
43 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.’
Harappekka inte goynanaso othiida eeqqa Molookke dunkenane inte eqqa Refanne xollinnte misile dhoqu dhoqu hissti oykkidista. Hessa gisha ta intena inte dizasoppe dennthada Babiloonera aatha yeddana.” geetetidi xaahaaththaetides.
44 “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;
Xoossi Muse bessida lemmusoza malane azazzidayssa mala oothetida Xoossi asara gagiza dunkkaneya nu awatara baazzo biittan deyadus.
45 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,
Nu aawati dunkeneyo ekkidayssappe guye Xoossi Iyaaso kallethin kaase ista gooddida dereta lattida wode dunnkaneyo ekki geellida. Dawite wode gakanas dunkaneyaa he biittan deyadus.
46 who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.

47 But Solomon built him a house.
Gido attiin Solmoney izas aqoso kexides.
48 However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
Gido attiin woogga Goday asa kushey keexida keeththan deena. Hesikka nabey (salloy ta zuuppane biittaykka tas tos shemmposo, hiistiin inte tas ay mala keeth kexxeti woykko ta shemmppanasoy awaysse? Hayssa wursi ta kuushshey oothibeynnee? gees Goday) getetti xafetida mala.
49 ‘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 Did not my hand make all these things?’
51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.
Inteno wozana mumeto, haytha tuleto, intekka inte aawata amala wursio wode Xiillo Ayanara eqateista.
52 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.
Nbistappe inte aawati gooddonnta naabey oonee? Xiillozi yanayssa kasseti yottida nabetakka wodhida intekka ha7i izza aathi immidistane wodhidista.
53 You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and did not keep it!”

54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
Duulatan diza asay hessa siydamala daro hanqitidi, iza bolla ba achche gariccides.
55 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,
Gidinkka Isxxifanosey Xiillo Ayanan kummidine puude salo tish histi xeellishin Xoossa bonchon Yesussay Xoossa oshachan eqqidayssa beydi “Heeko ta saaloy doyeetidayssane asa nay Xoossa ushachan eqqiidayssa beyays” gidees.
56 and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
57 But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.
Hesa wode asay qaala dhoqu histi waasishe ba haythe tuucci oykidi izako isppe woxxida.
58 They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
Isxxifanose oykkidi katamappe gede kare hallida. Shuchan cach oykkida. Hesi wuri hannishin marikkatikka ba mayo Sawulle gettetiza pantha achchan wothida.
59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
Isti shuchara iza cadishin Isxxifanosey “ta Goda Yesussa ta sehmppiyo neeko eekka” gidi woosides.
60 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.
