Acts 7
1 And the high priest said, Are these things then so?
Kuhani mbaha akajobha. “Mambo agha gha bhukweli”?
2 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,
Stefano akajobha, “Bhalongo bhangu ni badadi jhangu munip'elekesiajhi nene: K'yara ghwa bhutukufu an'tokili dadi jhitu Abrahamu bhwakati ajhele Mesopotamia kabla hja, kutama Harani;
3 and said to him, Go out of thy land and out of thy kindred, and come into the land which I will shew thee.
akan'jobhela, bhokayi katika nchi jha jhobhi ni bhanu bha jhobhi na ulotayi, mu nchi jha nibetakulasya'.
4 Then going out of the land of the Chaldeans he dwelt in Charran, and thence, after his father died, he removed him into this land in which ye now dwell.
Kisha akabhoka mu nchi jha ukaldayo akatama Harani, kuhomela apu, Baada jha dadi munu kufwa, K'yara akandeta mu nchi ejhe, jhabhitama henu.
5 And he did not give him an inheritance in it, not even what his foot could stand on; and promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when he had no child.
Ampelilepi kyokyoha kama urithi bwa muene, pajhelepi hata ni sehemu jha kubheka ligolo. Lakini Abrahamu ahaidibhu hata kabla jha kukabhe muana kujhanibetakupelibhwa nchi kama miliki jha muene ni uzao bhwa muene
6 And God spoke thus: His seed shall be a sojourner in a strange land, and they shall enslave them and evil entreat [them] four hundred years;
K'yara ajobhi naku naha, jha kujha bhazao bha muene nghabhatamili mu nchi jha kubhuhesya ni bhenyeji bha okhubhibeta kubhabhomba bhatumwa bha bhene ni kubhabhomba fibaya kwa muda ghwa miaka mianne.
7 and the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and serve me in this place.
Ni K'yara akajobha nibetakulihukumu taifa ambalyo libeta kubhabhomba mateka, ni baada jha apu bhibhita kuhoma ni kuniabudu pa sehemu ejhe.
8 And he gave to him [the] covenant of circumcision; and thus he begat Isaac and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
Na ampelili Abrahamu Agano lya tohara. Ivyo Abrahamu akajha ghwa ISaka akan'tahiri ligono lya nane; Isaka akajha dadi ghwa Yakobo ni Yakobo akajha dadi ghwa bhakhoko bhitu kumi ni bhabhele.
9 And the patriarchs, envying Joseph, sold him away into Egypt. And God was with him,
Bhakoko bhitu bhakambonela bhwifu Yusufu bhakan'hemesya katika nchi jh a Misri, ni K'yara ajhele pamonga ni muene,
10 and delivered him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he appointed him chief over Egypt and all his house.
ni kumwokola katika malombosi gha muene, ni kumpela fadhili ni hekima mbele jha Farao mfalme ghwa Misri. Farao akambeka kujha mtawala juu jha Misri ni juu jha nyumba jha muene jhioha.
11 But a famine came upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress, and our fathers found no food.
Basi kwajhele ni njala mbaha ni malombosi mingi mu nchi jha Misri ni kanani, ni bhadidi jhitu bhakabhilepi kyakulya.
12 But Jacob, having heard of there being corn in Egypt, sent out our fathers first;
Lakini Yakobo bho apeliki kujha ni nafakaMisri, abhalaghisi bha dadi jhitu kwa mara jha kwanza.
13 and the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren, and the family of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
Katika safari jha pili Yusufu akakilasya kwa bhalongo munu, familia jha Yusufu jhikamanyikana kwa Farao.
14 And Joseph sent and called down to him his father Jacob and all [his] kindred, seventy-five souls.
Yusufu abhalaghisi bhalongomunu kulota kun'jobhela Yakobo dadi jabhi ahidayi Misri, pamonga ni ndongo munu, jumla jha bhanu bhoha sabini na tano.
15 And Jacob went down into Egypt and died, he and our fathers,
Hivyo Yakobo aselili Misri; kisha afuili pamonga ni bhadadi jhitu.
16 and were carried over to Sychem and placed in the sepulchre which Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the [father] of Sychem.
Bhakatolibhwa hata Shekemu bhakasyelibhwa mulikaburi ambalyo Abrahamu alihemili kwa fipandi fya hela kuhoma kwa bhana bha Hamori okhu Shekemu.
17 But as the time of promise drew near which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
Bhwakati bhwa jhela ahidi ambayo K'yara aahidi Abrahamu bho bhukaribili, bhanu bho bhajhongesiki oku Misri,
18 until another king over Egypt arose who did not know Joseph.
Bhwakati obhu ajhinuiki mfalme jhongi Misri, mfalme jhaa manyilepi kuhusu Yusufu.
19 He dealt subtilly with our race, and evil entreated the fathers, casting out their infants that they might not live.
Mfalme jhongi ojho akabhakofya bhanu bhitu ni kubhabhomba mabhibhi bha dadi jhitu, ni kubhatagha bhana bhabhi bhadebe ili bhasiishi.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly lovely, who was nourished three months in the house of his father.
Katika kipindi khela Musa ahogoliki ajhele nnofu mbele jha K'yara alalibhu miesi midatu mu nyumba jha dadi munu.
21 And when he was cast out, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and brought him up for herself [to be] for a son.
Bhwakati ataghibhu, binti ghwa Farao antolili akandela kama mwana munu.
22 And Moses was instructed in all [the] wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.
Musa amanyisibhu mafundisu ghoha gha kimisri; ajhele ni nghofu mu malobhi ni matendo.
23 And when a period of forty years was fulfilled to him, it came into his heart to look upon his brethren, the sons of Israel;
Lakini baada jha kutimisya miaka arobaini, jhikanhidila mu muoyo bhwa muene kubhagendela bhalongo munu, bhana bha Israeli.
24 and seeing a certain one wronged, he defended [him], and avenged him that was being oppressed, smiting the Egyptian.
Bhoambwene mwisraeli ibhombibhwa mabhibhi, Musa an'telili ni kulepesya kisasi kwa jhaamboneleghe kwa kun'tobha Mmsri.
25 For he thought that his brethren would understand that God by his hand was giving them deliverance. But they understood not.
Afikineghe kujha bhalongo munu bhibeta kumanya kujha K'yara akabhaokola kwa mabhoko gha muene lakini bhamanyilepi.
26 And on the morrow he shewed himself to them as they were contending, and compelled them to peace, saying, Ye are brethren, why do ye wrong one another?
Ligono lya lafwatili akalota kwa baadhi jha bhaisraeli bhahakomaneghe; akajaribu kubhapatenisya; akajobha Mabwana, muenga ndongo, mbona mwikoselana jhmu kwa jhomu?
27 But he that was wronging his neighbour thrust him away, saying, Who established thee ruler and judge over us?
Lakini jhaankosili jirani ghwa muene akansukumila patali ni kujobha, 'Niani akubhombili kujha mtawala ni mhukumu ghwa tete?
28 Dost thou wish to kill me as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
Bhebhe wilonda kunikoma kama kyaghwan'komili Mmisri golo”?
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Madiam, where he begat two sons.
Musa ajumbili baada jha kupeleka nahu; akajha n'hesya mu nchi jha Midiani ambapo akajha dadi ghwa bhana bhabhele.
30 And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in a flame of fire of a bush.
Baada jha miaka arobaini kup'eta, malaika akan'tokela mu jangwa lya kidonda sinai, katika mb'ele ghwa muoto mukichaka.
31 And Moses seeing it wondered at the vision; and as he went up to consider it, there was a voice of [the] Lord,
Bwakati Musa abubhwene muoto, ashangele ni kustajabila khela kya akibhwene, na bhoajeribu kukihegelela ili kukilanga sauti jha Bwana ikan'hidila ni kujobha,
32 I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not consider [it].
“Nene ne K'yara ghwa bha dadi waku, K'yara ghwa Abrahamu, ni ghwa Isaka, ni ghwa Yakobo; Musa atetenuki na athubulepi kulanga.
33 And the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.
Bwana akan'jobhela, “Fulayi filatu fya jhibhi, sehemu pa ujhemili ndo mahali patakatifu.
34 I have surely seen the ill treatment of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groan, and have come down to take them out of it; and now, come, I will send thee to Egypt.
Nighabhuene mateso gha bhanu bhangu bhabhajhele Misri; Nip'eleliki kuluala kwa bhene, nani niselili ili nibhaokolayi; Henu hidayi, nibeta kulaghisya bhebhe Misri.'
35 This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who made thee ruler and judge? him did God send [to be] a ruler and deliverer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
Ojhi Musa jha bhambelili, wakati bhijobha, Niani akubhekili kujha mtawala ni mwamuzi ghwa tete? Ajhele ndo K'yara andaghisi kujha mtawala ni n'kombozi K'yara andaghisi kwa kibhoko kya malaika ambajhe an'tokili Musa mu kichaka.
36 He led them out, having wrought wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
Musa abhalonguisi kuhomela Misri baada jha kubhomba miujiza ni ishara kuimisri ni kubahari jha Shamu, ni kulijangwa kwa kipindi kya miaka arobaini.
37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up to you out of your brethren like me [him shall ye hear].
Ndo Musa ojho jhaabhajobhili bhanu bha Israeli kujha, K'yara ibetakubhajhinubila nabii kuhomele miongonni mwa bhalongo bhinu, nabii kama nene.
38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received living oracles to give to us;
Ojho ndo munu ambajhe ajhele ku n'kutano ku lijangwa ni malaika ambajhe alongi nakhu pa kidonda Sinai. Ojho ndo munu apokili lilobhi lyalijhe hai ni kutupela tete.
39 to whom our fathers would not be subject, but thrust [him] from them, and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,
Ojho ndo munu ambajhe bhadadijhitu bhabeli kuntii; bhan'sukumili patali ni mu mioyo ghyabho bhageukili Misri.
40 saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.
Mu kipindi e'ku bhan'jobhili Haruni.'tutengeneselayi miungu ghyaghibetakutulongosya. Musa ojho, jhaatulongosiaghe kuhomela nchi jha Misri, tumanyilepi kyakin'kolili.'
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Hiyo bhatengenisi liloli kwa magono aghu ni kupisya sadaka kwa sanamu ejhu na bhahobheleli kwa ndabha jha mbombo jhe mabhoko gha bhene.
42 But God turned and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in [the] book of the prophets, Have ye offered me victims and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Lakini K'yara abhageuzili ni kubhapela bhaabudu ajhi litondo lya kunani, kama kya jhilembibhu mu kitabu kya manabii, je, munihomesili nene sadaka sya bhanyama bha mubhachijhili ku jangwa kwa muda bhwa miaka arobaini nyumba jha Israeli?
43 Yea, ye took up the tent of Moloch, and the star of [your] god Remphan, the forms which ye made to do homage to them; and I will transport you beyond Babylon.
Mujhedekili hema jha kubhonanila jha Moleki ni litondo lya K'yara refani, ni picha jha muteng'enisi ni kubhaabudu bhene: ne nibetakubhapeleka patali zaidi jha Babeli.
44 Our fathers had the tent of the testimony in the wilderness, as he that spoke to Moses commanded to make it according to the model which he had seen;
Bhadadi jhitu bha jhe ni hema lya kubhonanila jha bhushuhuda jangwani kama K'yara kyaamuili bhoilongela ni Musa, kwamba ngaaiteng'enisi kwa mfano bhwa bhola bhwaabhuene.
45 which also our fathers, receiving from their predecessors, brought in with Joshua when they entered into possession of [the lands of] the nations, whom God drove out from [the] face of our fathers, until the days of David;
E'le ndo lihema ambalyobha dadi jhitu, kwa bhwakati ghwa bhene bhaletibhu mu nchi ni Joshua. Ejhhe jhatokili bhwakati bho bhajhingili kumiliki taifa ambalyo K'yara abhabhengili kabla jha uwepo ghwa bha dadi jhitu. Ejhe jha jhele naha mpaka magono gha Daudi,
46 who found favour before God, and asked to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob;
ambajhe akabhaili kibanda makao kwa k'yara ghwa Yakobo
47 but Solomon built him a house.
Lakini Sulemani an'jengili nyumba jha K'yara.
48 But the Most High dwells not in [places] made with hands; as says the prophet,
Hata naha jhe ajhe kunani itama lepi munyumba sya sijengebhu kwa mabhoko; ejhe kama nabii kya ajobhili,
49 The heaven [is] my throne and the earth the footstool of my feet: what house will ye build me? saith [the] Lord, or where [is the] place of my rest?
Mbingu ndo kiti kyangu kya enzi, ni dunia ndo sehemu jha kubheka magolo gha jhoni. Nyumba jha aina jheleku mwibetakujenga? ijobha Bwana; jhjhendaku sehemu jha nene jha kup'omoseka?
50 has not my hand made all these things?
Siyo kibhoko kya nene kya kibhombili agha ghoha?
51 O stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers, ye also.
Enye bhanu bha mujhe ni singu sikatafu mwam'belikuiribhwa mioyoni mb'olokolo, khila mara mukampinga Roho mtakatifu; mwibhombil.
52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain those who announced beforehand concerning the coming of the Just One, of whom ye have now become deliverers up and murderers!
Ni nabii jholeku katika manabii ambajhe bhadadi jhinu bhan'tesilipi? Bhabhakhomili manabii bhoha bhabhetokili kabla jha ujio bhwa mmonga mwenye haki,' ni henu mmalikujha mwebhasaliti ni bhauajhi bha muene kabhole,
53 who have received the law as ordained by [the] ministry of angels, and have not kept [it].
enyi bhanu jha mwapokili sheria jhela jha laghisibhu ni malaika lakini mwajhikamuili lepi.”
54 And hearing these things they were cut to the heart, and gnashed their teeth against him.
Kisha bhajumbe bha baraza bhobhap'eliki mambo agha, bhanyanyibhu mioyo ghya bhene, bhakan'syaghila minu Stefano.
55 But being full of [the] Holy Spirit, having fixed his eyes on heaven, he saw [the] glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,
Lakini muene bho amemili Roho mtakatifu, alolili kumbinguni kwa makini ni kubhubhona utukufu bhwa K'yara; ni kumbona Yesu ajhemili kibhoko kya kuume kya K'yara.
56 and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.
Stefano akajobha, “Langayi nijhibhwene mbingu sifungwiki, ni Mwana gha Adamu ajhemili kibhoko kya kuume kya K'yara.”
57 And they cried out with a loud voice, and held their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
Lakini bhajmbe bhe baraza bhapigili kelele kwa sauti mbaha, bhakaziba mb'olokoto sya bhene, bhakan'jumbilila kwa pamonga,
58 and having cast [him] out of the city, they stoned [him]. And the witnesses laid aside their clothes at the feet of a young man called Saul.
Bhakan'tagha kwibhala mu masi ni kun'tobha ni maganga; ni mashahidi bhakafula nghobho sya bhene kwibhala ni kubheka pasi karibu ni magolo gha n'songolo jhaakutibhweghe Sauli.
59 And they stoned Stephen, praying, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Bhwakati bhakan'tobha magangaa Stefano, ajhendelili kunkuta Bwana ni kujobha, “Bwana Yesu pokelayi roho jhangu,”.
60 And kneeling down, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And having said this, he fell asleep.
Akapiga magoti ni kukuta kwa sauti mbaha, “Bwana, usibhabhalangili dhambi ejhe.” Bho ajobhi aghu akatili roho.
