Acts 7
1 Then the high priest said, “Can these things be so?”
O kopadiciamo den yedi Etiena: yeni li tie moamoane bii?
2 So he said: “Men, brothers and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he resided in Haran,
Etiena den guadi ki yedi o: n kpiba bi jaaba leni n baanba, cengi mani; Ti kpiagidi tienu den doagidi O yuli Abalahama ya yogunu ke o den ye mesopotami hali ki daa kaali halana.
3 and said to him, ‘Leave your country and your relatives, and come into a land that I will show you.’
Oden yedi o: ña a danba kani leni a dandoguni ki gedi ya dogu ke n bati waani ŋa.
4 Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and resided in Haran. From there, after his father died, God moved him to this land in which you now live;
o den tuo ñani ya dogu ke bi yi kalide ki ban kali halana. lan kani o ba kuumi puoli Otienu den gedini o ya dogu ke i jii kaa moala.
5 yet He did not give him an inheritance in it, not even a footstep. He promised to give it to him for a possession, that is, to his seed after him, though he had no child.
Otienu naa den punio tin diedi kaaga ba taapuogu n ba ŋmaa naani. ama O den niani ke O bati teni o laa kaanu ban diedi wani leni opuoliŋoani o yaa ti ye. ba yeni wan kaa pia biga.
6 Further, God spoke like this: that his offspring would be aliens in a foreign land—and that they would be enslaved and oppressed—four hundred years.
utienu den yedi o yaali tie na: Abalahama puoliŋoanu ba ti fa tua canba ya dogu n kaa tie bi dogu. laa diemani yaaba ba teni ban tua bi yonbi, ki go wani ba fala bina kobina.
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.’
Ama otienu yedi: ya dogu n ba ti taaba ban tua yonbi, mini utienu n ba jia u buudi. lan yaa puoli nba ti ñanba laa dogunni, ban ban suani n po.
8 And He gave him a covenant of circumcision; and so he begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac did the same to Jacob, and Jacob to the twelve patriarchs.
Utienu go den teni Abalahama ku koanciagu ŋantaado. Abalahama mali Isaka ki kuano o madi dan niili daali. Isaka n ma Jakobo ki koani o moko. Jakobo den mali piiga n jabi lie lan n tie tie yajaanba, o den kuani ban moko.
9 “The patriarchs, being envious, sold Joseph into Egypt; yet God was with him
Ti yaajanba den kuadi bi waalo Josefi ke bi gedini o Ejibiti ti yonbidi, kelima bi den pia li nunponli o po.
10 and delivered him out of all his adversities, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
Ama Utienu den yee leni o ki den ga o fala buoli kuli nni, O go den puni o miyanfuoma ke cedi ke Ejibiti bado Falono pali den mani o po, ke o den cedi ko tua Ejibiti kuli liiga yua leni wani Falono diegu nni kuli.
11 And a famine came upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, even a great affliction, and our fathers could not find food.
Mikoncianma den baa Ejibiti dogu kuli, leni Kanana dogu li den tie falaciamo. baa den pia bonjekaala.
12 But upon hearing that there was wheat in Egypt, Jacob first sent our fathers.
Jakoabo den gaa laabali ke mijiema den ye Ejibiti lan wani ke o den kpa suani ti yaajanba yenma.
13 On the second trip Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family was presented to Pharaoh.
ban guani ki gedi mi ta liema Josefi den doagidi o yuli o kpeliba kani, lani ke Falono moko den bandi wan tie ya nibuolu yua.
14 Joseph sent and summoned his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
lani Josefi den suani ban wolo o po, o ba leni o diegu nubi kuli. bi kuli cuali den fii nubi piileele.
15 So Jacob went down to Egypt; and he died, he and our fathers;
Jakoabo den jiidi Ejibiti leni ti yaajanba.
16 and they were transferred to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor of Shechem.
ban kaa den yee bi den gedini bi kuli Sikema ki ban piiniba naani ke Abalahama den daa leni i ligi Hamola bijabi kani. lan n tie Sikema yaajanba.
17 “Now as the time of the promise was approaching which God had sworn to Abraham, the people increased and were multiplied in Egypt,
utienu nden niani Abalahama ya ŋoanianu nden nagida ki baa ba migbienma ti buolu den maa ki pugida bonciala Ejibiti dogunni.
18 until a different king arose who had not known Joseph.
Li den pundi ya yogunu ke badi toa yua kaa bandi Josefi den dini libali
19 This man took advantage of our race and oppressed our fathers, making them expose their babies so that they would not stay alive.
Laa bado den janbi ti buolu ki den wangi ti yaajanba fala, ki teni ke bi lu bi canpanda leni u paalu ke ban da ya yee.
20 At that time Moses was born, and was well pleasing to God; he was nurtured in his father's house for three months.
Laa yogunu yo bi den mali Musa. o den ŋani o tienu po. o danba den kubi o deeni ha li ŋmali ta.
21 When he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter took him to herself and brought him up as her own son.
Ban den luni o ya yogunu Falona bisalo den piidi o ki wubi o nani o bimaadi ga yeni.
22 So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; he was mighty in words and deeds.
bi den cogini o Egibiti yaaba banma leni li yanfuoma kuli, o go den pia u paalu mi maama nni leni a tuonŋama nni.
23 Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the sons of Israel.
Wan den ba li yankuali ya yogunu ki ba gedi ki ban lee o buolu nuba o den pia bina piina.
24 Well seeing one of them being wronged, he defended and avenged the one being oppressed, striking down the Egyptian.
Wan den pundi li kani o den sua ke Ejibiti nulo den wangidi fala o buolu nulo yendo, o den ga o koanli ki pua ki kpa Ejibiti yua.
25 Now he supposed that his brothers understood that God was giving them deliverance by his hand, but they did not understand.
O den tamake o kpiiba Isaleelenba yaaba ba bandi ke lenio yaa nu yo, ke Utienu baa faabiba leni fala. ama baa den faami ki bandi.
26 The next day he appeared to them as they were fighting and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why do you wrong one another?’
Laa daali ya fifama, o den laa ke Isaleele yaaba siiga nibi lie ke bi kuani ki pua bi yaba. o den tundi ba ki bua ban mangi, o den yedi ba: i kuli tie buolu yendu bee n teni ke yi wangidi yi lieba fala?
27 But the one who was wronging his neighbor pushed Moses away, saying: ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
Ama yua n den paani o lielo yeni den yedi: ŋme dini ŋa li bali ke ŋan tua ti yudaano leni ti bujialo?
28 Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?’
A bua ki kpa n moko nani wonli ŋan den kpa Ejibiti yua maama yeni bii?
29 Well Moses fled at that word, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons.
Laa maama po, Musa den sani ki gedi ya dogu ke yi Madiana, li po o den mali bonjala lie.
30 “And when another forty years had passed, Angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
Bina piina puoli Maleki den doagidi o Sinayi joali fanpienmanni o den la ya fatuugu yaa niini ke mifantama co yeli yeli.
31 Well upon seeing it Moses was amazed at the sight, but as he approached for a closer look the voice of the Lord came to him:
Musa n den laa, laa bondoagidi kaala, li den lidini o. wan den nagida ki bua ki diidi bonŋanla, o den gbadi O diedo nialu
32 ‘I am the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.’ Moses started trembling and did not dare to look.
N tie a yaajanba tienu Abalahama, Isaka leni Jakoabo tienu. Musa den digibi kaa tuo ki yaadi ki diidi.
33 So the Lord said to him: ‘Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
O diedo den yedo: pidi a cacaadi kelima ŋan se ya kaanu yeni tie tingagidi kaaga.
34 I have definitely seen the mistreatment of my people in Egypt, and have heard their groaning; and I have come down to deliver them. So now come, I will send you to Egypt.’
N laa n nubi n laadi yaa fala Ejibiti diema nni N go gbadi bi dunli moala n jiidi ki ba faabiba. gedi moala n ba suana Ejibiti.
35 “This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God sent him as leader and deliverer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush.
Musa yua ke bi den yie o, ki den tua: ŋme dini ŋa libali ke ŋan tua ti yudaano leni ti bujialo, wane ke o tienu go den suani wan tua bi yudaano leni bi faabi ka leni Maleki yua den doagido ku fatuugu nni yaa todima.
36 This man led them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea, and for forty years in the wilderness.
Wani go den ñani ba Ejibiti leni mi bancianma leni sinakeene, Ejibiti nni mi ñincianmoama siiga, mi fanpiencianmani hali bina piina.
37 “This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up to you a Prophet from among your brothers, like me.’
wan Musa n go den yedi isaleele bila: Utienu baa ñani i siiga o sawali pualo nani mini.
38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, who was with the Angel who spoke with him on Mount Sinai and was with our fathers, who received living oracles to give to us;
ya yogunu ke isaleele yaaba den taani ku fanpienciagun ni, Musa n den ye leni ba, ki go den gaani utienu Maleko n den maadi o yaala Sinayi juali leni ti yaajanba, o den soangidi ti po yaa maama n tie limiali maama, yaama n ñani Utienu kani.
39 to whom our fathers did not want to be obedient; rather they rejected him and turned back in their heart to Egypt,
Ti yaajanba, baa den tuo wan yedi yaala. bi den yie o, ke bi yantiana leni bi paala go den jigidi ki nuanli Ejibiti po.
40 saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods that will go before us; because this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what has become of him.’
Bi den yedi Alono: duadi ti po i buli, ya buli n baa cuoni ti liiga; kelima Musa yua n ñani ti Ejibiti dogu yeni, tii bani yaali n tieno.
41 Well they made a calf in those days and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and started rejoicing in the works of their hands.
bi den duadi laa dana nni bulo ke naanini ki naabiga. ki paadi li padili o po, ki mangidi bi pala leni ban fidi ki suani yaa tuonli leni bi nii.
42 But God turned away and gave them over to serve the army of the heaven, just as it is written in Book of the Prophets: ‘House of Israel, did you offer me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness?
Lan wan Utienu den ŋaaba ki cedi ke bi kpiagidi tanpoli ŋabili, nani lan diani bi sawalipuaba tili n ni maama: naani yi den padi n po ti yandi, yaa yogunu ke n den ye leni yi bina biina mi fanpiencianma n ni bii? yinba isaleele ba yaaba.
43 Actually you took along the tent of Moloch, and the star of your god, Rephan, the images that you made to worship; so I will relocate you beyond Babylon.’
Yi den tugi ya bulo n yi Moloko gbandieli, leni ya bulo n yi Lefana ŋmabiliga. laa bon naani kala kuli yi den tieni ki ba ya kpiagidi. lan yaa po yo, ke n cedi ke yi gedi ti yonbidi hali Babilona diema yaa kandima.
44 “The tent of the testimony, according to the pattern that Moses had seen, just as the One speaking to him had commanded to make it, was with our fathers in the wilderness;
Ti yaajanba den pia siedi gbandieli mi fanpiencianma n ni. nani Utienu n den puogi Musa wan tieni maama. Musa den tieni nani Utienu n den cili wani o ya nananli.
45 which, having received it in turn, our fathers with Joshua brought into the possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, until the days of David;
Lan ya puoli, Josue den gobidi ti yaajanba ke bi den kuani laa siedi gbandieli ya diema ya niini ke Utienu den teli yaa nubi n den cili ki kaa likani. bi den kali laa dogu n ni ki ban pundi hali Dafidi yogunu.
46 who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob,
Dafidi den ba Utienu ŋanbili, ke o den mia Otienu ki bua ki maa Jakoabo Tienu po ku diegu.
47 but Solomon built Him a house.
Ama, Salomo n den maa ku diegu.
48 However, the Most High does not dwell in handmade sanctuaries, just as the prophet says:
Ki naa ña tanpoli joma Tienu ki ye bi nisaaliba n ma ya diegu ya niini, nani nani o sawali pualo n yedi maama.
49 ‘Heaven is my throne, while the earth is a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me,’ says the Lord, ‘or what place for my rest?
O diedo yedi: tanpoli tie n bali kali kaanu, ki tinga mo tie n taaŋmakaanu. be ya diebuolu ke yi ba ma, n po? bi lee n tua n po fuodi kaanu?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?’
Naani n yaa nu cele kaa tagi lan kuli?
51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always oppose the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so you do.
Tupaalu danba ne; ya nusaala kaa tuo ki lebidi bi pala ke bi tuba go juagi, yi yaajanba n den tie maama yi moko tie yene kelima yi yiedi yogunu kuli Utienu fuomi yua.
52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers;
O lee sawapuale ke yi yaajanba ki waani o fala? bi den ku yaabi n den tuodi waani O tegini ka cuama. moala ke yi janbi o ki teni ke bi kpao. lani n bundi ke yi den tua nikpanla.
53 you who received the Law as ‘ordinances of angels’ and have not kept it!”
Yi den ba Utienu balimaama yaama ke Malekinba den suagini yi po. ama yii tuo ki kubima.
54 Well as they heard these things their hearts were being sawed in half, and they started gnashing their teeth at him.
Ban den gbadi Etiena n maadibi maama, bi pala den beni hali boncianla, ke bi cegini bi ñina o po.
55 But he, being full of Holy Spirit and looking intently into the heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus standing on God's right,
Ama Etiena den gbie leni Otienu fuomi yua. o den yaadi ki nuanla tanpoli po ki la Otienu kpiagidi ke Jesu se Utienu najienu.
56 and said, “Wow! I see the heavens opened and the Son of the Man standing at God's right!”
O den yedi: diidi mani, n nua ke ke tanpoli luodi ke O joa bijoa se Utienu najienu.
57 Yelling at the top of their voice they covered their ears and rushed at him all at once,
Bi tangi boncianla ki biindi bi tuba, ki taani ki libi o li kani.
58 and throwing him out of the city they stoned him! (The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.)
Bi den fuli o, ki ñani o u dogu n ni ki ban madi o a tana. siediba den landi bi tiadi ki biliti ya jawalo yaa kani ke den yi o Polo.
59 Yes, they stoned Stephen as he called out and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
Ban den madi o tana ya yogunu, Etiena den jani ki yedi: O diodo Jesu, ŋan ga n naano.
60 Then kneeling down he called out at the top of his voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” And upon saying this he fell asleep. (Saul was in full agreement with his murder.)
Lan ya puoli, o den gbaani o duna po ki tiani yenma ki yedi: O diedo, ŋan pa ba laa tuonbiadi sugili. laa maama puoli o den gbindi.
