Acts 7
1 Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”
Adudagi Purohitlenna Stephen-da hanglak-i, “Nangonda siriba maralsing asi achumbra?”
2 And Stephen declared: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
Maduda Stephen-na khumlak-i, “Eigi ichil-inaosa amadi ipa ipansa, eina haijaba tabiyu! Eikhoigi ipa ipu oiriba Abraham-na Haran-da leitringei, Mesopotamia-da leiringeida matik mangalgi Tengban Mapuna mangonda uhanbikhi.
3 and told him, ‘Leave your country and your kindred and go to the land I will show you.’
Aduga Tengban Mapuna mangonda hairak-i, ‘Nahakki nareibak amadi nahakki mari matasingbu thadoktuna eina nangonda utpi-gadouriba leibak aduda chatlu.’
4 So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God brought him out of that place and into this land where you are now living.
Maram aduna mahakna Chaldea machasinggi lam adu thadoklaga Haran-da leirammi. Mahakki mapa leikhidraba matungda Tengban Mapuna mahakpu nakhoina houjik leiriba mapham asida thabirakkhi.
5 He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised to give possession of the land to Abraham and his descendants, even though he did not yet have a child.
Adubu Tengban Mapuna mapham asida mangonda phangpham thokpa lam machet ama phaoba pikhide, adubu matam aduda Abraham-gi macha amata leitrabasu Tengban Mapuna mangonda mapham asi mahak amadi mahakki tunggi charol surolda pibigani haina wasakpikhi.
6 God told him that his descendants would be foreigners in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
Tengban Mapuna mangonda asumna hai, ‘Nahakki charol surolna mireibakta leigani aduga mapham aduda makhoi minai oigani amadi makhoibu chahi chamari tathi-tawoina toubigani.
7 ‘But I will punish the nation that enslaves them,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come forth and worship Me in this place.’
Adubu makhoina minai oirugadaba phurup adubu eina wayen-gani amasung madugi matungda nahakki charol surolna leibak adudagi thorakkani aduga mapham asida makhoina eihakpu khurumjagani.’
8 Then God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, and Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. And Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.
Aduga Tengban Mapuna Abraham-da un-kakpagi walepnaba adu pibikhi. Maram aduna Abraham-na Isaac pokpa matung numit ni panni subada mahakpu un-kakkhi; Isaac-na mahakki machanupa Jacob-pu un-kakkhi aduga Jacob-na mahakki machanupasing aduga eikhoigi masak nairaba ipa ipusing makhoi taranithoibu un-kakkhi.”
9 Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him
“Jacob-ki machasing aduna makhoigi machin manao oiriba Joseph-pu kallakpadagi mahakpu Egypt-ta minai oina yonkhi. Adubu Tengban Mapuna mahakpu loinabikhi
10 and rescued him from all his troubles. He granted Joseph favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, who appointed him ruler over Egypt and all his household.
aduga mahakki khudongthiba awa-ana pumnamaktagi Tengban Mapuna mahakpu kanbikhi. Egypt ningthougi mamangda Joseph-na leppa matamda Tengban Mapuna mangonda changkhonba matou amasung lousing pibirammi adudagi ningthou aduna Joseph-pu Egypt leibak amadi konung apumbagi leingak mapu oihanbikhi.
11 Then famine and great suffering swept across Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers could not find food.
Adudagi Egypt amadi Canaan-gi leibak apumbada chak tangba thoktuna yamna awa ana thoklammi. Eikhoigi ipa ipusing adu chanaba chinjak amata phanglamde.
12 When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit.
Egypt-ta chanaba mahei marong lei haiba Jacob-na tabada mahakki machanupasing haibadi eikhoigi ipa ipusing oiriba makhoibu ahanba khongchat oina mapham aduda tharammi.
13 On their second visit, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, and his family became known to Pharaoh.
Anisuba khongchattadi Joseph-na mahakki machin manaosing aduda mahak kanano haiba masak khanghalle amasung Egypt-ki ningthouna Joseph-ki imung manunggi maramda khanglaklammi.
14 Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five in all.
Maram aduna Joseph-na mahakki mapa Jacob-ta pao thaduna mahak amadi mahakki imung manunggi mi apumba haibadi mioi humphutara-manga adu Egypt-ta lakpinaba kourammi.
15 So Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our fathers died.
Adudagi Jacob-na Egypt-ta chatlammi, mapham aduda mahak amadi mahakki machanupasing sikhi.
16 Their bones were carried back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a price he paid in silver.
Makhoigi hakchangsing adu Shechem tanna puraklaga Abraham-na Hamor-gi machanupasingdagi sel khara piduna leikhiba mongpham aduda leirol chankhi.”
17 As the time drew near for God to fulfill His promise to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased greatly in number.
“Tengban Mapuna Abraham-da wasakpikhiba adu thunghannaba matam adu naksillaklabada Egypt-ta eikhoigi misinggi masing yamna yamkhatlakkhi.
18 Then another king, who knew nothing of Joseph, arose over Egypt.
Mameithangda Joseph-ki maramda karisu khangdaba ningthou amana Egypt-ta pallammi.
19 He exploited our people and oppressed our fathers, forcing them to abandon their infants so they would die.
Mahakna eikhoigi ipa ipusingbu lounam toukhi amadi makhoigi nouna pokpa angangsingbu sinanaba namduna langthok-handuna thina toukhi.
20 At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in the sight of God. For three months he was nurtured in his father’s house.
Matam aduda Moses pokkhi, mahak yamna phajaba angang ama oirammi. Mahakki mapagi yumda tha ahum yokpi thakpirammi.
21 When he was set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.
Mahakpu mahakki yumgi mapanda thamlabada, ningthou adugi machanupina mahakpu louduna mahak masagi machanupa oina yokkhatlakkhi.
22 So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.
Mahakpu Egypt-ki lousing pumnamak tambikhi aduga mahak waheida amadi thabakta matik leiba mi ama oirakkhi.”
23 When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
“Mahak chahi niphu surammi, mahakna mahakki Israel-gi misingbu kamdouna loinabiri haiba yengge leplammi.
24 And when he saw one of them being mistreated, Moses went to his defense and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian who was oppressing him.
Makhoigi maraktagi amabu Egypt-ki mi amana thina touba urammi. Maram aduna mahakna mahakpu mateng pangnaba changlammi aduga Egypt-ki mi adubu hattuna laman khumlammi.
25 He assumed his brothers would understand that God was using him to deliver them, but they did not.
Makhoibu kanbinaba Tengban Mapuna mahakpu sijinnaribani haiba mahakki misingna khangbigani haina Moses-na khallammi adubu makhoina madu khanglamde.
26 The next day he came upon two Israelites who were fighting, and he tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why are you mistreating each other?’
Mathanggi numitta Israel-gi macha ani khatnariba adu ubada makhoibu taisinnanaba hotnarammi. Mahakna hairak-i, ‘Ibungokhoi, nakhoi nachil nanaosingni. Karigi nakhoina asumna khatnaribano?’
27 But the man who was abusing his neighbor pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us?
Thina touriba mi aduna Moses-pu inthoklaga hairak-i, ‘Nahakpu eikhoigi ithakta mapu amadi wayel mapu oina kanana happage?’
28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
‘Ngarang nangna Egypt-ki mi adu hatpagumna eibusu hatpa pamlibra?’
29 At this remark, Moses fled to the land of Midian, where he lived as a foreigner and had two sons.
Moses-na masi tabada Egypt-tagi chenkhiduna Midian-gi lamda lamlanba oina leirammi. Mapham aduda machanupa ani phangkhi.”
30 After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.
“Chahi niphu houkhraba matungda Sinai ching manakki leikanglada achakpa mongsong amagi meirilakta dut amana Moses-ta uhanbirammi.
31 When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came to him:
Mahakna uriba adu Moses ngaklammi, henna ningthina unaba mongsong adugi manakta changsillammi. Adubu mahakna Mapu Ibungogi khonjel tarammi:
32 ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.
‘Eihak nahakki napa napusinggi Tengban Mapuni, Abraham, Isaac amadi Jacob-ki Tengban Mapuni.’ Maduda Moses-na kibana niklammi amadi mahakna yengbagi thouna leiramde.
33 Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
Adudagi MAPU IBUNGO-na mangonda hairak-i, ‘Nahakki khong-up louthok-u maramdi nahakna lepliba mapham adu asengba maphamni.
34 I have indeed seen the oppression of My people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’
Egypt-ta eigi misingbu ot neiba adu eina ure. Makhoigi naheba adu eina tare amasung makhoibu kanbinaba eihak kumtharaklabani. Houjik lak-u, eina nangbu Egypt-ta thagani.’”
35 This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ is the one whom God sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
“Hairiba Moses asimakni Israel-gi misingna yakhidaba mahak adu. ‘Nahakpu eikhoigi ithakta mapu amadi wayel mapu oina kanana happage?’ haiduna makhoina mangonda hangkhi. Achakpa mongsongda uhanbikhiba dut adugi mapanna Israel-gi misinggi mathakta pannanaba amadi makhoibu ningtamhanbinaba Tengban Mapuna thabikhiba adu mahakni.
36 He led them out and performed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, at the Red Sea, and for forty years in the wilderness.
Mahakna makhoibu Egypt-tagi chingbirakkhi, angakpa thabaksing amadi khudamsing Egypt-ta amasung Angangba Ipakta aduga chahi niphu lamjao lamhangda toukhi.
37 This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’
‘Eibu thabirakpagumna Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichou ama Tengban Mapuna thabirakkani aduga mahak nakhoigi naraktagi mi oigani’ haina Israel-gi misingda haikhiba mahak adu Moses asini.
38 He was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. And he received living words to pass on to us.
Lamjao lamhangda Israel-gi misingna punna leiba aduda leiminnaramba adu mahak asini. Mapham aduda mahak eikhoigi ipa ipusingga loinana amasung Sinai chingda mangonda wa ngangbiba dut aduga leiminnarammi aduga eikhoida pinaba Tengban Mapugi ahingba waheising adu mahakna phangjakhi.”
39 But our fathers refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
“Adubu eikhoigi ipa ipusingna mahakna haiba illu yakhide, makhoina mahakpu inthoktuna makhoigi thamoinadi Egypt-ta amuk hankhi.
40 They said to Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us! As for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.’
Maram aduna makhoina Aaron-da hairak-i, ‘Eikhoibu chingbinaba laising sabiyu. Eikhoibu Egypt-tagi chinglakpa nupa Moses aduda kari thokkhrabano haiba eikhoina khangde.’
41 At that time they made a calf and offered a sacrifice to the idol, rejoicing in the works of their hands.
Matam adudani makhoina sannao ama saduna maduda iratpot katkhi aduga makhoigi khutna saba pot aduda makhoina haraokhi.
42 But God turned away from them and gave them over to the worship of the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘Did you bring Me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Maram aduna Tengban Mapuna makhoidagi mai leithokkhiduna atiyada leiriba numit, tha amadi thawanmichaksingbu makhoina khurumnaba makhoibu thadoklammi. Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousinggi lairikta asumna ikhibagumbani: ‘Israel-gi misa! Lamjao lamhangda chahi niphu nakhoina sasing hattuna katkhiba adu eingonda katpa natte.
43 You have taken along the tabernacle of Molech and the star of your god Rephan, the idols you made to worship. Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’
Molech laigi phi-sang adu nakhoina pui, aduga nakhoigi thawanmichak lai Rephan-gi murti pui; murtising adu nakhoina khurumnaba sabani. Maram aduna eina nakhoibu Babylon-gi wangmada loi thagani.’”
44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of the Testimony with them in the wilderness. It was constructed exactly as God had directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.
“Tengban Mapuna loinabibagi Phi-sang adu eikhoigi ipa ipusingna lamjao lamhangda makhoiga loinana thamlammi. Madu Tengban Mapuna Moses-ta haikhiba amadi Moses-ta utpikhiba mawong adugi matung inna sabani.
45 And our fathers who received it brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations God drove out before them. It remained until the time of David,
Phi-sang adu phangjaraba matungda, Tengban Mapuna makhoigi mangda tanthokkhraba phurupsing adudagi lousinkhraba lam aduda Joshua-gi luching makhada makhoina phi-sang adu purakkhi. Aduga phi-sang adu lam aduda David-ki matam phaoba leirammi.
46 who found favor in the sight of God and asked to provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
David-na Tengban Mapugi thoujal phangjaduna Jacob-ki Tengban Mapugi leipham ama mahakna sajanabagidamak nijarammi.
47 But it was Solomon who built the house for Him.
Adubu Ibungogidamak yum sajakhiba adu Solomon-nani.”
48 However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
“Adum oinamak Wangthoiraba Tengban Mapudi mioibagi khutna saba yumda leite. Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichouna asumna haikhi,
49 ‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me, says the Lord, or where will My place of repose be?
‘MAPU IBUNGO-na hai, swargadi eigi phambalni aduga malemna eigi khongnetphamni. Eigidamak nakhoina karamba yum sagadage? Nattraga eina leigada mapham kadaidano?
50 Has not My hand made all these things?’
Eigi khutna pot pumnamaksing asi semkhiba nattra?’”
51 You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers did.
Stephen-na makha tarak-i, “Nakhoisi kayada nangak kallibano! Nakhoigi thamoidi kayada Tengban Mapu khangdaba thamoi oiriba aduga Tengban Mapugi waheida nakhoigi nana kayada kalliba! Nakhoi nakhoigi napa napusing aduga chap manei: nakhoisu matam pumbada Thawai Asengbabu yeknei!
52 Which of the prophets did your fathers fail to persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One. And now you are His betrayers and murderers—
Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichou amata nakhoigi napa napusingna ot-neikhidaba yaobra? Achumba chatpa Ibungo adu lakkani haina hanna phongdokpasing adu makhoina hatkhi. Aduga houjikti nakhoina Ibungo mahakpu pithokle amasung hatle.
53 you who received the law ordained by angels, yet have not kept it.”
Swargadutsinggi mapanna piramba Tengban Mapugi wayel yathang adu nakhoina phangle adubu nakhoina madu ngakte.”
54 On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were enraged, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
Makhoina masi tabada Stephen-gi mathakta mei houna saorammi amadi maya krak krak chiklammi.
55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
Adubu Thawai Asengbana thalladuna Stephen-na swargada yengkhatle aduga Tengban Mapugi matik mangal amadi Jisuna Tengban Mapugi yet thangbada lepliba adu urammi.
56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
Maduda mahakna hairak-i, “Yeng-u, swarga hangdokpa amadi Migi Machanupa aduna Tengban Mapugi yet thangbada lepliba asi eina ujare!”
57 At this they covered their ears, cried out in a loud voice, and rushed together at him.
Masida makhoina makhoigi manakong makhutna mensillaga akanba khonjelna laoraduna makhoi pumnamakna Stephen tamna chensillammi
58 They dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
aduga mahakpu sahargi wangmada chingthoklaga mahakpu nungna thaba hourammi. Sakhi oiribasing aduna makhoigi maphising adu Saul kouba naha oiriba nupa amagi makhongda thamlammi.
59 While they were stoning him, Stephen appealed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
Makhoina Stephen-bu nungna tharingeida mahakna Tengban Mapuda haijarak-i, “Ibungo Jisu, eigi thawai lousinbiyu.”
60 Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Adudagi mahakna khuru khudak kunduna ahouba khonjelda laorak-i, “Mapu Ibungo, pap asi makhoigi mathakta singthanabiganu.” Masi hairamlaga mahak sikhre.
