Acts 7
1 “Are these allegations true?” the high priest asked.
Gobele salasu hina dunu da Sidibenema adole ba: i, “Amo da dafawanela: ?”
2 “Brothers and fathers, listen to me!” Stephen replied. “God in his glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was living in Mesopotamia, before he moved to Haran.
Sidibene da bu adole i, “Na fi dunu amola ada huluane nabima! Ninia aowalalia aowa A: ibalaha: me da Ha: ila: ne sogega fila asi. Be hidadea, Hadigidafa Gode da Mesoubouda: imia sogega ema misi.
3 God told him, ‘Leave your country and your relatives, and go to the country that I'm going to show you.’
Gode da ema amane sia: i, `Dia fidafa amola dia soge yolesili, na olelemu sogega masa.
4 So he left the country of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran. After his father's death, God sent him here to this country where you now live.
Amalalu, ea soge yolesili, e da Ha: ila: ne sogega fimusa: asi. A: ibalaha: me ea eda bogoloba, Gode da sia: beba: le, e da mugululi, dilia waha fibi soge amoga misi.
5 God didn't give Abraham an inheritance here, not even one square foot. But God did promise Abraham that he would give him and his descendants possession of the land, even though he had no children.
Amo esoga, Gode da amo soge A: ibalaha: mema hame i, E hamedafa i. Be amo soge E da hobea imunusa: sia: i. A: ibalaha: me egaga fi dunu da amo soge lama: ne E sia: i. Amo esoga, Gode da fa: no imunu sia: i amo eso, A:ibalaha: me da mano hamedei esalu.
6 God also told him that his descendants would live in a foreign country, and that they would be enslaved there, and would be mistreated for four hundred years.
Gode da A: ibalaha: mema amane sia: i, ‘Digaga fi dunu da soge eno amo ganodini esalumu. Ilia da se dabe iasu udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoane esalumu. Ilia ouligisu dunu da ilima se bagade imunu. Ilia se nabawane amo soge ode 400 agoanega esalumu.
7 God said, ‘I will punish the nation that enslaves them. Eventually they will leave and come here to worship me.’
Be Na da ilima se imunu dunu fi, amoma se dabe iasu imunu. Fa: no amo soge ilia fisili asili, dia waha lelebe soge amo ganodini Nama nodone sia: ne gadomu.’
8 God also gave Abraham the agreement regarding circumcision, and so when Isaac was born, Abraham circumcised him on the eighth day. Isaac was the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of the twelve patriarchs.
Amalalu, amo gousa: su hou hamoi dagoiba: le, dunu huluane dawa: ma: ne, Gode da A: ibalaha: mema ilegele olelei. Amo ilegei da A: ibalaha: me ea fi dunu huluane ilia gadofo damuma: ne, Gode Ea sia: i. Amaiba: le, fa: no A: ibalaha: me ea mano Aisage lalelegele, hi afae aligili, A:ibalaha: me da Aisage ea gadofo damui. Aisage ea mano Ya: igobe lalelegele, hi afae aligili, Aisage da ea gadofo damui. Amalalu, Ya: igobe ea mano lalelegele, hi afadafa aligili, afae afae ili gadofo damui. Ya: igobe ea mano fagoyale gala da ninia aowalali dunu esalu.
9 The patriarchs, who were jealous of Joseph, sold him into slavery in Egypt. But God was with him,
Be Ya: igobe ea mano ilia eya Yousefe mudale ba: beba: le, e Idibidi soge ganodini se dabe iasu hawa: hamoma: ne, bidi lai dagoi.
10 and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave him wisdom and helped him gain the favor of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over Egypt and the royal household.
Be Gode da Yousefe mae yolesili, ea se nabasu hou amo ganodini fidisu. Yousefe da Idibidi hina bagade dunu ema doaga: beba: le, ea ba: su amola bagade dawa: su hou Gode fidibiba: le, Idibidi hina bagade da Yousefe hahawane ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da Yousefe da Idibidi soge, amola hina bagade ea diasu amo ouligima: ne sia: i.
11 Now a famine occurred throughout Egypt and Canaan. It caused terrible misery, and our forefathers had no food.
Amalalu, Idibidi soge amola Ga: ina: ne soge, ha: i bagade doaga: beba: le, dunu huluane se bagade nabi. Ninia aowalali dunu da ha: i manu hamedafa ba: su.
12 When Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt he sent our forefathers down on their first visit.
Ya: igobe da ha: i manu Idibidi soge amo ganodini dialebe nababeba: le, e da ea mano ilia ha: i manu bidiga lala masa: ne asunasi.
13 During their second visit, Joseph revealed to his brothers who he was, and Pharaoh discovered Joseph's family background.
Bu Ga: ina: ne soge amoga misini, amalu ilia bu Idibidi sogega asi. Amo esoga, Yousefe da Ya: igobe ea mano ilia eya esala, amo e da ilima olelei. Amalalu, Idibidi ouligisu dunu da Yousefe ea sosogo fi dawa: i dagoi.
14 Joseph sent for his father and all his relatives—seventy-five in total.
Amalalu, Yousefe da Ya: igobe amola ea fi dunu huluane (dunu huluane da 75), ilia Idibidi sogega fimusa: misa: ne sia: i.
15 Jacob traveled to Egypt, and died there—as did our forefathers.
Ya: igobe amola ea mano huluane, da Idibidi sogega doaga: i. Amo soge ganodini ilia bogoi.
16 Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought with silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
Ilia da: i hodo huluane ilia Siegeme sogega gaguli asili, uli dogoi musa: A:ibalaha: me da Ha: imo fi ilima muniga bidilai, amo ganodini sali dagoi.
17 As the time approached regarding the promise that God had made to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt increased.
Asili, Gode Ea musa: A:ibalaha: mema ilegei eso da gadenenewane doaga: loba, ninia aowalalia Idibidi soge ganodini ilia idi da bagade heda: i dagoi ba: i.
18 A new king came to the throne in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph.
Hina bagade eno, e Yousefe ea hou hame dawa: su dunu da Idibidi ouligisu hawa: hamosu lai dagoi.
19 He took advantage of our people and treated our ancestors badly, forcing them to abandon their babies so they would die.
E da ninia aowalalima ogogole amola nimi bagadewane hamoi. E da ninia aowalali ilia mano dudubusa bogoma: ne, gadili hadigima: ne sia: i.
20 It was at this time that Moses was born. He was a handsome child, and for three months he was looked after in his father's home.
Amo esoga, Mousese da lalelegei. E da mano dudubusa ida: iwane ba: i. Oubi udiana amoga, ea ame da amo mano diasu ganodini ouligisu.
21 When he had to be abandoned, Pharaoh's daughter rescued him and took care of him as her own son.
Be amo mano ilia da diasu gadili ligisili, Idibidi hina bagade ea uda mano a: fini, Mousese ba: beba: le, ea fofoi. E da Mousese ea manodafa agoane esaloma: ne fofoi.
22 Moses received instruction in all areas of Egyptian knowledge, and he became a powerful speaker and leader.
Olelesu dunu da olelebeba: le, Mousese da Idibidi dunu ilia bagade dawa: su hou huluane lalegagui dagoi. E da bagade dawa: su amola gasa bagade hawa: hamosu dunu agoane asigilai.
23 However, when he was forty years old, he decided to visit his relatives, the Israelites.
Mousese da lalelegele, ode 40 esalu, e da ea Isala: ili fidafa dunu ilia hou ba: musa: asi.
24 He saw one of them being mistreated, so he intervened to defend him. On behalf of the man he took revenge and killed the Egyptian.
E da Idibidi dunu afae Isala: ili dunu afae bagadewane fananebe ba: i. Mousese da dabe imunusa: dawa: beba: le, Idibidi dunu medole legei.
25 Moses thought his fellow Israelites would see that God was rescuing them through him, but they didn't.
(Gode da Mousese ea loboga Isala: ili dunu ilia se dabe iasu diasu logo doasimu amo Mousese da dawa: i galu. Amola Isala: ili dunu da amo hou asigiwane dawa: mu, e da dawa: i galu. Be ilia da hame dawa: i.)
26 The next day when he arrived, two Israelites were fighting one another. He tried to reconcile them and stop the fight. ‘Men! You are brothers!’ he told them. ‘Why are you attacking each other?’
Golale, eso enoga, e da Isala: ili dunu aduna ela gegenanebe ba: i. E da ela olofoma: ne, elama amane sia: i, ‘Alia nabima! Alia da Isala: ili fi dunu. Amaiba: le, abuliba: le gegesala: ?’
27 But the man who had started the fight pushed Moses away. ‘Who put you in charge over us? Are you our judge now?’ he asked.
Be Isala: ili dunu afadafa, e da eno dunuma osa: le heda: musa: dawa: beba: le, ougiliwane Mousese fulifasi. ‘E amane adole ba: i, “Di da ninima ouligisu esalabala? Di da ninima fofada: su dunula: ?
28 ‘Are you going to kill me like you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
Di da aya Idibidi dunu medole legei, amo defele dia na medole legema: bela: ?’
29 When he heard this, Moses ran away. He went and lived in exile in the land of Midian, where two sons were born to him.
Amo sia: nababeba: le, Mousese da hobeale, Idibidi soge fisili, Midia: ne sogega fimusa: asi. Amo soge ganodini, ea dunu mano aduna lalelegei.
30 Forty years later, in the desert of Mount Sinai, an angel appeared to him in the flames of a burning bush.
Ode 40 gidigili, dunu hame esalebe hafoga: i soge Sainai Goumi gadenene, Mousese da a: igele dunu, ifa dunumunihadi laluga nenanebe ba: i be hame sui, amo ganodini ba: i.
31 When Moses saw this, he was amazed at the sight, and went over to take a closer look. The voice of the Lord spoke to him:
Fofogadigili, noga: le ba: musa: gini gadenene misini, Mousese da Gode Ea sia: nabi, amane,
32 ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.’ Moses shook with fear and didn't dare look up.
“Na da dia aowalalia Gode Esala. Na da A: ibalaha: me, Aisage amola Ya: igobe, ilima Gode Esala.” Mousese da beda: iba: le, yagugui. E da beda: iba: le, ba: mu higa: i galu.
33 The Lord told him, ‘Take off your sandals, because where you are standing is holy ground.
Hina Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Dia emo salasu fadegama! Dia waha lela sogebi da hadigi soge!
34 I have closely observed the suffering of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groans. I have come down to rescue them. Now come over here, for I'm sending you to Egypt.’
Na da Na fidafa ilia se nabasu Idibidi soge ganodini ba: lala. Na da ilia se nabasu dawa: beba: le, ilia se dabe iasu diasu logo doasima: ne doaga: i dagoi. Misa! Na da di Idibidi sogega asunasimu!”
35 This was the same Moses that the people had rejected when they said, ‘Who made you a ruler and judge over us?’ God sent him to be both a ruler and a liberator, by means of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
Isala: ili dunu fi da musa: Mousese higa: i galu. Ilia amane sia: i, `Nowa da di ninima ouligisu amola fofada: su dunu hamobela: ?’ Be Isala: ili fi ilia se dabe iasu diasu logo doasima: ne amola ilima ouligisu hamoma: ne, Gode da Mousese asunasi dagoi. A: igele amo da ifa dunumuni laluga nenanebe amo ganodini ba: i, e da Mousese fidisu.
36 Moses led them out after performing miraculous signs in Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and continued to do so in the desert for forty years.
Mousese da ea fi ilima bisili asili, Idibidi soge yolesili, musa: hame ba: su gasa bagade hou Idibidi ganodini amola Maga: me Hano Wayabo ganodini, hamosu. Ode 40 amoga ilia da dunu hame esalebe wadela: i soge ganodini ahoanu, amo hou ba: su.
37 This is the same Moses who promised the Israelites, ‘God will send you a prophet like me from among your people.’
Mousese da Isala: ili fi ilima amane sia: i, “Gode da na dilima asunasi amo defele E da Balofede dunu eno, dilia fi dunu, amo dilima asunasimu.”
38 Moses was with God's assembled people in the desert when the angel spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and there with our forefathers he received God's living word to give to us.
Mousese da Isala: ili dunu ilia gilisisu wadela: i soge amo ganodini esalebe ba: i. E amola ninia aowalali, amola a: igele da Sainai Goumia ema sia: i, ilima gilisi. E da Gode Ea esalalalusu sia: ninima bu olelema: ne, lai dagoi.
39 He was the one our fathers wouldn't listen to. They rejected him and decided to return to Egypt.
Be ninia aowalali dunu da Mousese ea sia: hamedafa nabi. Ilia da ema hihini, bu Idibidi sogega sinidigimusa: dawa: i galu.
40 They told Aaron, ‘Make gods for us to lead us, because we don't know what's happened to this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt.’
Amaiba: le, ilia da Elanema amane sia: i, ‘Dia ‘gode’ liligi ninima bisili masa: ne hahamoma! Mousese da Idibidi yolesili ninima bisili asi, be e da habila: ? Ninia hame dawa: !’
41 Then they made an idol in the shape of a calf, sacrificed to it, and celebrated what they themselves had made!
Amalalu, ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ loboga hamoi liligi bulamagau gawali agoaila hamone, ilima gobele salasu hou hamoi. Ilia loboga hamoi liligi ilima nodone sia: ma: ne, lolo nabe bagade hamosu.
42 So God gave up on them. He left them to their worship of the stars in the sky. This is what the prophets wrote, ‘Were you giving offerings or making sacrifices to me during the forty years in the desert, you Israelites?
Amaiba: le, Gode da Ea dunu fi fisili asili, ilia gasumuni ilima sia: ne gadoma: ne, Gode da fisi dagoi. Amo hou da balofede buga amo ganodini dedei diala, amane, ‘Isala: ili fi dunu! Dilia ode 40 amoga wadela: i sogega ahoanu, ohe fi bagohame medole, gobele salasu hou hamosu. Be dilia da Nama nodone dawa: ma: ne hame hamoi.
43 No, you carried the Tabernacle of the god Moloch and the image of the god Rephan's star, images that you made so you could worship them. So I will banish you in exile beyond Babylon.’
Be dilia ogogosu ‘gode’ Moulege ea abula diasu amola ogogosu ‘gode’ loboga hamoi liligi ea dio amo Lefa: ne – gasumuni hina dunu - amo aguni asi. Amo ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi dilia loboga hamone, ilima nodone sia: ne gadoi. Amaiba: le, dilia soge fisimusa: , Na da dili Ba: bilone moilai bai bagade baligima: ne, soge enoga masa: a:ne, mugululi sefasimu.’
44 Our ancestors had the Tabernacle of Testimony in the desert. God had told Moses how he should make it following the blueprint he had seen.
Ninia aowalali da wadela: i hafoga: i sogega ahoanoba, Gode Ea Abula Diasu (Da: bena: gele-amo ganodini Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili amola Gode Ea Sema igi da: iya dedei dialebe ba: i) aguni asi. Amo abula diasu, Gode Ea Mousesema adoi, amo defele ilia hamoi dagoi.
45 Later on, our forefathers carried it with them when they went in with Joshua to occupy the land taken from the nations the Lord drove out before them. It stayed there until the time of David.
Fa: nowane, ninia aowalali da Yosiuama fa: no bobogele, ilia Ga: ina: ne soge huluane lalegagui. Gode da hidadea amo soge fi huluane sefasi. Amo esoga, ilia da Da: bena: gele Abula Diasu aguni asi. Da: bena: gele Diasu da Isala: ili soge amo ganodini dialu, Da: ibidi ea eso doaga: i.
46 David found favor with God and asked to make a more permanent home for the God of Jacob.
Gode da Da: ibidima hahawane galu. Da: ibidi da Ya: igobe ea Godedafa amo da diasu ganodini esaloma: ne, diasu gagumusa: Godema adole ba: i.
47 But it was Solomon who built a Temple for him.
Be Soloumane hifawane da Gode Ea diasu gagui dagoi.
48 Of course the Almighty doesn't live in temples we make. As the prophet said,
Be Gode Gadodafa da diasu amo dunu ea loboga hamoi liligi, amo ganodini hame esala. Balofede dunu ea sia: agoane dedei diala: ,
49 ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth the place I put my feet. What kind of dwelling could you build for me?’ the Lord asks. ‘What bed could you make for me to rest in?
`Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, Na fisu da Hebene, Na emo ligisisu da osobo bagade. Na ganodini esaloma: ne adi diasu gaguma: bela: ? Na da adi sogebi amoga esaloma: bela: ?
50 Didn't I make everything?’
Amo liligi huluane Nisu Na hamoi, amo dilia hame dawa: bela: ?’”
51 You arrogant, hard-hearted people! You never listen! You always fight against the Holy Spirit! You act just like your fathers did!
Sidibene bu amane sia: i, ‘Dilia dogo da igi agoane hamoi. Dilia dogo da Gode Ea hou hamedafa dawa: Gode Ea sia: hamedafa naba. Dilia da dilia aowalalia hou defele lalegagui dagoi. Eso huluane dilia Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala Ema gegenana.
52 Was there ever a prophet your fathers didn't persecute? They killed those who prophesied about the coming of the one who is truly good and right. He is the one you betrayed and murdered—
Dilia aowalali da balofede dunu huluanedafa ilima se bagade iasu. Amo dunu da musa: Gode Ea Ida: iwane Hawa: Hamosu Dunu da misunu sia: i, be dilia amo huluane medole legei dagoi. Amola wali, amo misi Dunu Yesu Gelesu dilia hohonone, medole legei dagoi.
53 you who received the law by means of the angels, but refused to keep it.”
Gode Ea Sema huluane, a:igele ilia da ninima i liligi, dilia huluane gega naba, be hamedafa hamosa!”
54 When they heard this, the council members became mad with rage, and snarled at him, grinding their teeth.
Gasolo dunu da Sidibene ea sia: nababeba: le, ougi bagade ba: i. Ougiba: le, ilia lafi gagamui.
55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed up into heaven and saw God's glory, with Jesus standing at God's right hand.
Be Sidibene, ea dogo Gode Ea A: silibu amoga nabaiba: le, ea si ba: le gadole, Gode Ea hadigi amola Yesu da Gode Ea afodafa amo dafulili lelebe ba: i.
56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open, and the Son of Man standing at God's right hand.”
“Ba: ma!” e sia: i. “Na da Hebene doasili, Dunu Egefe, Gode Ea lobodafadi dafulili lelebe ba: sa!”
57 But they held their hands over their ears and shouted as loudly as they could. They rushed together at him,
Gasolo dunu da ha: giwane halasu. Ilia ge ilia da loboga ga: si. Amalalu ilia Sidibenema hehenane, gagulaligili,
58 dragged him out of the city, and began to stone him. His accusers laid their coats down beside a young man called Saul.
moilai bai bagade gagoi gadili galadigili, igiga medoi. Ba: su dunu ilia abula fadegale, ayeligi dunu ea dio amo Solo, amo ouligima: ne ema i.
59 As they went on stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
Ilia da mae yolesili, Sidibene igiga medolaloba, Sidibene da Hina Yesuma amane wele sia: i, “Hina Yesu Gelesu! Dia na a: silibu lama!”
60 He kneeled down, calling out, “Lord, please don't hold this sin against them!” And after he said this, he died.
E da muguni bugili, ha: giwane wei, “Hina Gode! Amo ilia wadela: i hou wali hamoi, Dia gogolema: ne olofoma!” Amo sia: nu, e da bogoi.
