Acts 7
1 And the high priest said, Are these things then so?
Romwah phokhothoon ah ih Stephen suh chengta, “Amiisak nih angkah?”
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,
Stephen ih ngaak baatta, “Ngaaphoh ngaawah loong nga jeng ah boichaat an! Sengte sengwah Abraham Haraan hah ni maang song kah kaadi, Mesopotomia hah ni

Rangte dongkhoom kah ano baatta, ‘An hadaang nyia an jaatang ah thiinhaat uno ngah ih marah hah doh kaat baat ha erah doh kah uh.’
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.
Erah raangtaan Abraham ih heh hadaang ah thiinhaat ano Haraan hah ni song kata. Heh wah tek lidi, Rangte ih sen amadi song lan hah adi kaat thuk taha.
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.
Rangte ih Abraham suh arah an hah ngeh ih baatkot muh, amasah chepsiit taan uh kotmuh, enoothong Rangte ih Abraham suh kot eha ngeh ih ba kakhamta adoleh ansuh ansah lakbui ang ah ngeh ih thoomhoon kakhat ah ba hoon eta, erah kakham ah Abraham heh sah maang jeeka tokdi hoonta.
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;
Rangte ih Abraham suh baatta: ‘An sutoom satoom loong ah minok mihah nah song rum ah, erah doh neng loong ah chaabaji paang raangtaan ih dah ih siiwi rum ah.
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.
Enoothong an sutoom satoom loong ih soomtu rum ah mina loong ah ngah ih dande kah rum ang, erah lidoh erah hah dowa doksoon rum ano arah hah adoh ngaak song rum haano nga somtu rum hang.’
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.
Eno Abraham damdi thoomhoon kakhat thiinta ngeh ih jat suh Rangte ih heh khoopkhan banlam ah hoonthuk rumta. Erah thoidi Esak ah tup ano saasinat lidi heh khoopkhan ano men hoonta; Esak ih heh sah Jaakob khoopkhanta, eno Jaakob ih heh sah asih wanyi ah khoopkhan banlam hoonta.
9 And the patriarchs, envying Joseph, sold him away into Egypt. And God was with him,
“Jaakob sah loong ih neng no Josep ah miksuh ih rum ano Ijip hah ni dah raangtaan ih sang rumta. Enoothong Rangte ah heh damdam eta,
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.
erah thoidi Josep ah mathan laang chamta bah uh Rangte ih puipang eta. Ijip Luuwang damdi Josep chomuita di, Rangte ih Josep suh mih tenroon thuk theng nyia mongtham ese ah kota, eno erah hadaang adi Luuwang ih Josep ah kobono nyia henok hetap jaatrep sokboite ang thukta.
11 But a famine came upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress, and our fathers found no food.
Erah lidi, Ijip nyia Kanaan hah noongrep ni ram ang ano rapne ih cham rumta. Sengte sengwah loong ih phak asat ju choh jam muh,
12 But Jacob, having heard of there being corn in Egypt, sent out our fathers first;

13 and the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren, and the family of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
Dopnyi kah rum adi, Josep ih hephoh loong suh heh teewah tiit ah jatthuk rumta, eno Ijip Luuwang ih uh Josep jaatang tiit ah jat eta.
14 And Joseph sent and called down to him his father Jacob and all [his] kindred, seventy-five souls.
Josep ih heh wah suh maatbaatta, neng jaatang rooksinet wabangnga ah loongtang Ijip hah nah kaat theng ngeh ah.
15 And Jacob went down into Egypt and died, he and our fathers,
Jaakob nyia heh sah loongtang Ijip hah ni song karum ano erah ni matti karumta.
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.
Neng mang ah Sekem hah ni huikaat ano, Abraham ih Haamor jaatang jiin nawa ngun ih reta di bengkaat rumta.
17 But as the time of promise drew near which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
“Rangte ih Abraham damdi thoomhoon kakhatta saapoot ah chang kano, Ijip hah ni seng mina hasong ah jaat eti.
18 until another king over Egypt arose who did not know Joseph.
Erah lih adi, Josep men lajatte mih Ijip Luuwang we angta.
19 He dealt subtilly with our race, and evil entreated the fathers, casting out their infants that they might not live.
Eno Luuwang ah sengte sengwah loong damdi rapne ih thikhah ano, neng sah khobaang loong ah tektoom ih ah ngeh ih li ano, thoikatkat ih neng nok nawa ehoh ni tum thiin thuk rumta.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly lovely, who was nourished three months in the house of his father.
Erah tokdi, Moses ah jaaseemoong sah ih dongtupta. Moses ah nok ni laajom sokboita,
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.
eno heh nok nawa thiinhaat kaat kano, wangcha nah rah ih heh raangtaan suh hakpanta.
22 And Moses was instructed in all [the] wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.
Moses suh Ijip nok hah tiit jirep ah nyootsoot kano jatwah jeewah eh hoonta.
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;
“Moses paang rookbaji ang ano, hejaat hepaat ah mamah ih siiwi rumta erah ah jat suh ngeh ih jam thoithakta.
24 and seeing a certain one wronged, he defended [him], and avenged him that was being oppressed, smiting the Egyptian.
Heh mina wasiit Ijip mih ih siiwi ah japtup ano, Moses ih erah mih ah etek haat eta. (
25 For he thought that his brethren would understand that God by his hand was giving them deliverance. But they understood not.
Moses ih thunta, heh mina loong ah ih baata jatrum hangnih, ngah Rangte ih neng doksiit suh daapkaat halang ngeh ah, eno heh mina loong ah ih tajat rumta).
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?
Erah saalih adi Ijirel nok hah wanyi botmui arah japtup ano paakpang damdi taat renbaat nyuuta. ‘Boichaat thaak ansih,’ jaaroh nyi, ‘set Ijirel mina tanih ang kansih; tiimte botmui lansih?’
27 But he that was wronging his neighbour thrust him away, saying, Who established thee ruler and judge over us?
Eno o ih wasiit ah siiwiita erah mih ah ih Moses ah haangko pitthengta. ‘Sek laktung nah an ih dande theng ngeh ih o ih poon halu?’
28 Dost thou wish to kill me as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
‘Miinnyah Ijip nok hah tekbuh tang ah likhiik tekbuh ang ngeh ih nih li halang?’
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Madiam, where he begat two sons.
Moses ih erah jeng ah japchaat ano, Ijip hah nawa Midian hah ni soonkah ano moong songtong kata. Erah ni heh sah miwasah wanyi tupta.
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.
“Paang rookbaji lini, Moses ngathong ni Rangte kaamwah ah Sinai Kong ni phisaang hah ni weelu damdi dongjengta.
31 And Moses seeing it wondered at the vision; and as he went up to consider it, there was a voice of [the] Lord,
Erah japtup ano, Moses ah rapne ih paatjaata, eno rapniine ih sok suh weeluuta adi tiitkhoom kata. Eno Teesu jengta ah japchaatta;
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].
‘Ngah ante anwah Rangte, Abraham Rangte, Esak nyia Jaakob Rangte.’ Moses ih lanaan sok thang ih mochoota.
33 And the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.
Teesu ih Moses suh liita, ‘An lasong ah khook haat uh an chaplu ah Esa hah.
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.
Ijip ni nga mina loong rapne ih cham arah japtup hang. Nenghu nengri chaat hang, Ngah neng doksiit puipang suh ra halang. Amadoh raaho; Ngah ih an Ijip hah nah kaat thuk ha.’
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.
“Moses ah Ijirel mina ih thaangju et arah mina angta. ‘Seng pante nyia maat hoonte angtheng ngeh ih o ih thiik halu?’ Miloong ah ih emah kali rumta. Enoothong weeluuta adi Rangte dongjengta, Moses ah noksong pante nyia doksiitte, heh damdoh rangsah roong mokah ah ngeh ah.
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.
Moses ih, Ijip hah ni nyia Juusisaang (Juusih esiit je ah, erah amadi uh erah suh juusih essang ngeh ih menha) adi nyia phisaang hah ni mih paatjaajih loong ah noisok ano heh mina loong ah Ijip hah nawa doksiit dowa.
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].
Moses ih Ijirel noksong suh baatta, ‘Rangte ih, ngah kaat thuk halang ah likhiik khowah kaat thuk ha, eno erah mina ah sen mina dowa ang ah.’
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;
Moses ah Ijirel mina loong damdi phisaang hah ni tum roongtong rumta; sente senwah loong nyia rangsah damdi Sinai Kong ni kah chowaanta, enooleh Rangte khothing jengkhaap ah seng suh toombaat tahe.
39 to whom our fathers would not be subject, but thrust [him] from them, and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,
“Enoothong sengte sengwah loong ah ih Moses jeng ah taboichaat rumta; heh jeng lalek boichaat thang ih Ijip hah ko we ngaakwang thung ang rumta.
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.
Erah thoidi neng ih Aroon suh li rumta, ‘Seng lamsiitte Rangte hoon kohe. Ijip hah nawa seng doksiitte, Moses bah tajatke tiim ang koja.’
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Erah lilih, maan laaphaang tongmih hoon rum ano, roomsoom rumta, erah lih adi neng ih hoonta tongmih phoongpha mendi phaksat ah room phaksah ih rumta.
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?
Erah thoidi neng Rangte ah neng dam dowa doksoon ano rang dowa ritsih nyia rang ni tiimjih jeela erah loong ah soomtu thuk rumta, erah tiit ah khowah loong leedap ni raangthiin choi: ‘Ijirel noksong loong! Phisaang hah ni paang rookbaji angtan adoh luiamaan ah nga soomtu suh tadook tan.
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.
Erah tumhui tan abah, Molek Rangte raangtaan ih angta; adoleh ritsih rangte, Rephan laaphaang raangtaan ih; erah loong abah sen ih soomtu theng tongmih angta. Erah raangtaan ih sen loong ah Bebiloon jiit nah phanhaat kaat rumha.’
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;
“Sengte sengwah loong ih bah phisaang hah ni Rangte waktong theng Nyutaap ah neng damdam ih tumhui rumta. Erah mamah ih hoon theng ah, Rangte ih Moses suh noisokta ah likhiik ih hoon rumta.
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;
Lini, sengte sengwah loong ih neng wah jiin nawa thaangta Nyutaap ah Josua damdi wakkah rumta di neng damdam ih tumhui rumta. Eno Rangte ih mathan deek akaan angta loong ah nengngah nengngah ih tum phanjoh haatta. Erah Nyutaap ah Dewid, Luuwang maang langlang ih erah hadaang adi thok tongta.
46 who found favour before God, and asked to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob;
Rangte ih Dewid suh ese choh kano Dewid ih Jaakob Rangte nok hoon thuk weehang ngeh ih suta.
47 but Solomon built him a house.
Enoothong erah rangsoomnok ah Solomon Luuwang ih liwang ni thoon tom hoonta.
48 But the Most High dwells not in [places] made with hands; as says the prophet,
“Enoothong Echoong thoon ni tongte Rangte ah mina ih hoon hi nok ni tatongta; khowah ih liiha likhiik ah,
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?
‘Rangmong ah nga tongtheng, nyia hah ah nga lah naktheng, Teesu ih liiha, Nga raangtaan ih sen ih tiim nok ma hoon an? Nga tongtheng nok ah mani ah?
50 has not my hand made all these things?
Arah loong ah nga lak ih tanih hoontang?’
51 O stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers, ye also.
“Senten senmong ah jong ajaan likhiik mamah angtan!” Stephen ih arah tiit ah jangbaat roh ih kaatta. “Sen thung ah mamah sengseng angtan, Rangte tiitkhaap chaat suh sen na ah mamah sengseng ih baang tan! Seng loong ah sente senwah likhiik; sen ih uh Esa Chiiala ah saarookwet takap kan!
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!
Sente senwah ih khowah lasiiwiite eje nih ah? Teewadi Laksuh kateng ah erak eha ngeh ih Rangte tiit baat kaatte ah uh neng ih tek haatta. Eno sen ih erah mih ah mokwaan anno tek haat han.
53 who have received the law as ordained by [the] ministry of angels, and have not kept [it].
Rangte hootthe ah rangsah jiin nawa choh thaangte sen loong ah —erabah uh heh jeng ah taboichaat kan!”
54 And hearing these things they were cut to the heart, and gnashed their teeth against him.
Ngoongthumte loong ah Stephen jeng ah chaat rum ano, neng pha ah phak ah ih khadah rumta.
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,
Stephen ah Esa Chiiala pan angte angta, rangko toon sokwan adi Rangte chaan aphaan nyia Jisu jaawah ko ih chap arah tupwanta.
56 and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.
“Sok thaak an!” Stephen ih baat rumta. “Rangmong ah daapchoi tupwan lang, erah di Mina Sah Rangte damdi jaawah ko chap arah tupwan lang!”
57 And they cried out with a loud voice, and held their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
Ngoongthumte loong ah riiraak rum ano neng na ah neng lak ih kepjoh rumta. Miloong ah Stephen taangko ih tuutmui karum ano,
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.

59 And they stoned Stephen, praying, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Jong ih patrum ah damdi Stephen ih Teesu men ah poon ano rangsoomta, “Teesu ngaachi ngaala ah thaang hang!”
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.
Stephen ah heh lakuh ni chooktong ano eroongwah ih riihuuta, “Teesu! Neng rangdah ah nak samthun weeuh!” Emah ih jeng ano thaktiita.
