Acts 7
1 Then sayd the chiefe Priest, Are these things so?
Ninko Prist a tre ndi, “ikpi biyi ba janji?”
2 And he sayd, Ye men, brethren and Fathers, hearken. That God of glory appeared vnto our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
Istifanus a tre ndi “mir ya ni bati, wo me'. Irjhi wu shulu a tsro kpama ni timbu Ibrahim, niwa ana he ni Mesopotamia, ri nda ka son ni Haran;
3 And said vnto him, Come out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and come into the land, which I shall shewe thee.
A lha wu ndi “Don ngbran meme me baba mir vayime, ni rhu hini ngbran meme wandi mi tsro wu.
4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran. And after that his father was dead, God brought him from thence into this land, wherein ye now dwell,
Mle, a lu don ngran meme Chaldeans nda ka kru ni Haran, rhi niki, ni wa tima a qu'a, Irjh i a njiwu ye ni ngbran meme yi, wa bi ki nituma'a.
5 And hee gaue him none inheritance in it, no, not the bredth of a foote: yet he promised that he would giue it to him for a possession, and to his seede after him, when as yet hee had no childe.
Ana fon nklan bubu nu du kpa zi ni h'pu mana, a'an, ko wa ani kaza satuma me. Ama, a shirhi, ko da shike Ibrahim ana he ni vivren rhina-andi ani nu bubu ti uma du mba h'puma du k'ma tiwumba kasai-kasai.
6 But God spake thus, that his seede should be a soiourner in a strange land: and that they should keepe it in bondage, and entreate it euill foure hundreth yeeres.
Irjhi a si a tre niwu tyi, andi h'puma ba son ki ni gbu ndi bari u ndhi bi bgukima ba vu ba ti grand nda du ba tiya wu se derinzia.
7 But the nation to whome they shall be in bondage, will I iudge, sayth God: and after that, they shall come forth and serue me in this place.
Ama mi sharanta ni dhi bi wa ba tindu gran nibawua, kpe wa irji tre'a hu gon kima, ba rhu don bubuki nda ye kuqungba rhu nda gbresan ni mu ni bubu yi.
8 Hee gaue him also the couenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begate Isaac, and circumcised him the eight day: and Isaac begate Iacob, and Iacob the twelue Patriarkes.
Niki Irji a nu Ibrahim shirhi wu hanbru ni duta tika, rhini kima, Ibrahim a ngrjhi Ishaku nda hanbru ma ni riwu tandra baya ngrjhi. Ishaku ngame a ngrjhi Yakubu, u Yakubu a ye ngrjhi bacimbu Wlondoha ba.
9 And the Patriarkes moued with enuie, solde Ioseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
Bacimbu ba ti ngu ni Yusufu, ba banwu le hi ni masar ama Irjhi a he ni wu.
10 And deliuered him out of all his afflictions, and gaue him fauour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao King of Egypt, who made him gouernour ouer Egypt, and ouer his whole house.
nda kpa' chuwo ni ya wa a hon tuma'a. A kpayem ni Yusufu mba mren wu tondindi ni shishi kikle Ichu Firona wu Masar wa a ban wu sa ni ruron gomna wu Masar mba nitu koma wawu.
11 Then came there a famine ouer all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction, that our fathers found no sustenance.
Ni ntukima, meme iyon a ri kagon Masar mba Canaan, ni meme ya wa a du ba timbu ba wa biri hamma.
12 But when Iacob heard that there was corne in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
Niwa Yakubu a wo ndi wlo biri he ni Masar a ton ba timbu hi ni zrenmba wu mumla.
13 And at the second time, Ioseph was knowen of his brethren, and Iosephs kindred was made knowen vnto Pharao.
Ni zren wu ha, Yusufu a tsro tuma ni ba mirvayima, u firona a mla to mmla Yusufu nikima.
14 Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kindred, euen threescore and fifteene soules.
Yusufu a ton mir vayima du ba k'ma hi hla ni timba du vu mmla wawu, ndhi saba'in don ton mba, nda ye ni Masar.
15 So Iacob went downe into Egypt, and he dyed, and our fathers,
Nituki, Yakubu a grjhi hi ni Masar nda ka que niki, ni wawu ba timbu ngame.
16 And were remoued into Sychem, and were put in the sepulchre, that Abraham had bought for money of the sonnes of Emor, sonne of Sychem.
Ba vu ba hi ni Shekem, nda ka rhu'ba ni ibe wa titi Ibrahim a le nitu nkle silva ni wo mir Hamor wu Shekem.
17 But when the time of the promise drewe neere, which God had sworne to Abraham, the people grewe and multiplied in Egypt,
Niwa nton wa shirhi a ye weiweire, shirhi wa Irjhi a ti ni Ibrahim. Indhi ba ba ki bran gbugbuwu ni masar.
18 Till another King arose, which knewe not Ioseph.
Da a tsra wa kikle chu ri a hon ni ruron wu masar wa ana to njo nitu Yusufu na.
19 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and euill entreated our fathers, and made them to cast out their yong children, that they should not remaine aliue.
A kyurh ndhimbu nda yo ba ni gbengble du ba rhuni mir nhanha lilon mbu ni duba que.
20 The same time was Moses borne, and was acceptable vnto God, which was nourished vp in his fathers house three moneths.
Ni nton kima ba ngrhi Musa, wa ka bi kpokpome ni Rji ba lura ti wua tra ni ko tima.
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter tooke him vp, and nourished him for her owne sonne.
Niwa ba banwu ka zi ni ra, vrenwa Firona a ban'u ti wuma nda njiwu ti vren ma.
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdome of the Egyptians, and was mightie in wordes and in deedes.
Ba yo Musa ni bubu tsro mba, niki a mla to tsro ndindi nitu kpi kankan wu bi U bi masarawa ba, ndu ni he ma ba bi hikima.
23 Nowe when he was full fourtie yeere olde, it came into his heart to visite his brethren, the children of Israel.
Niwa isema wu ngrjhi ba ti weiweire ni tso-tra-don nza (arbain), a kpre suron du zren hi ni mir vayi ma, ih'pu Isra'ila.
24 And whe he saw one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and auenged his quarell that had the harme done to him, and smote the Egyptian.
A krito basi ndhi Israila ri ya'. Musa alu kpa nyu ni ndhi wa basia tiwu ya'a nda wru gu masar wuh.
25 For hee supposed his brethren would haue vnderstand, that God by his hande should giue them deliuerance: but they vnderstoode it not.
A yotrendi vayima ba mla to ndhi a hi Irjhimba ni tindu ni wu du ba bguc'bu ni womba, ama ba ka'a na mla to na.
26 And the next day, he shewed himselfe vnto them as they stroue, and woulde haue set them at one againe, saying, Syrs, ye are brethren: why doe ye wrong one to another?
Nivi wuhama, a to ndhi harhi ba si tsi, wa ay'e gaba nda tre ndhi, 'Lilon, be mir vayi; a hi ngye du yi ni tsi kpambi?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a prince, and a iudge ouer vs?
Irimba wandi wa wuhi a kpa la ni kpanma'a, a tru yo kosan nda tre ndi “A nha banwu sa nitumbu ichu, wu ga tre nitawu?
28 Wilt thou kill mee, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
Wu son wu U me to wandi wu wuu gu masra laren'a?
29 Then fled Moses at that saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begate two sonnes.
Niwa Musa a tre yi'a, a vu tsu wru nda ka son tindi u tsir ni kasa Midian, niki a ka ngrjhi mri lon ha.
30 And when fourtie yeres were expired, there appeared to him in the wildernes of mout Sina, an Angel of the Lord in a flame of fire, in a bush.
Niwa ise tso-tsra-don-nzang ati ka hi, U malaika a tsro tuma niwu ni ngbranmiji ni kikle ngblu Sinai, ni lu ni miji.
31 And when Moses sawe it, hee wondred at the sight: and as he drew neere to consider it, the voyce of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
Niwa Musa a to ilu'a, a ti sisir kpe wa a to ni shishima, nda lu si zren hi weiweire du ni mla ya, a kri wo ilan Baci ni tre ndi,
32 I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold it.
Mmyi mi Irjhi wu ba timbi, Irjhi wu Ibrahim, mba Ishaku, mba wu Yakubu” Musa kri si tsenzankpa nda na la vu suron nda ya ngana.
33 Then the Lord said to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feete: for the place where thou standest, is holy ground.
Baci a lhawu ndi, jhu lagban wa ahe ni za me rhu domin bubu wa wu kri mba ahi tsatra bubu.
34 I haue seene, I haue seene the affliction of my people, which is in Egypt, and I haue heard their groning, and am come downe to deliuer them: and nowe come, and I will sende thee into Egypt.
Mi to iyawa basi nu ndhimu ni masra mi wo gran yimba, m'ba mi grjhiye ye chubachuwo. ye zizan, mi ton hi ni masra.
35 This Moses whome they forsooke, saying, Who made thee a prince and a iudge? the same God sent for a prince, and a deliuerer by the hand of the Angel, which appeared to him in the bush.
Musa yi, wa bana kamba niwu, niwa bana tre ndi, “a nha yo tituchu mba wu ga'atre nitawu'a?” a hi wawuyi wa Irjhi a ton du hi ti chu mba wu chubachuwo. Irjhi a ton wu hi zuni wo malaika wa a tsro tuma ni Musa ni miji'a.
36 Hee brought them out, doing wonders, and miracles in the land of Egypt, and in the red sea, and in the wildernes fourtie yeeres.
Musa njiba rhuni masra, kima a hu gon ti kpi bi wa ndhi ba kaahon to tuma, baba bi tron yani masra mba kikle ma wu Reeds, mba ni tsutsu miji niwa ba ti se tsro-tra-don-nza (arbain).
37 This is that Moses, which saide vnto the children of Israel, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise vp vnto you, euen of your brethren, like vnto me: him shall ye heare.
Ahi Musa kima wa a lhani ndhi bi Israila ndi, “Irjhi ni nzu anabi ri hon yiwu rhinimi vahimbi, anabi ton me”.
38 This is he that was in the Congregation, in the wildernes with the Angell, which spake to him in mount Sina, and with our fathers, who receiued the liuely oracles to giue vnto vs.
Ndhi yi yi a he niba ni tsutsu miji mba malaika wa atre niwu nitu kikle ngblu Sinai, wa ahe niba timbu, mba wa a kpa lantre wu sisren ye nota.
39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but refused, and in their hearts turned backe againe into Egypt:
Ama ba timbu ba kamba ni hutrema, ba tru lhega wru ni kpamba, du ni misuron mba k'ma hi ni masra.
40 Saying vnto Aaron, Make vs gods that may goe before vs: for we knowe not what is become of this Moses that brought vs out of the land of Egypt.
Ni nton kima ba lha ni Hasuna, “La' mir rjhi ni tawu wa a ni njita zren hi. Musa yi, a njita wru rhini meme masra, kina toh ikpe wa a ka tiwu a na
41 And they made a calfe in those dayes, and offered sacrifice vnto the idole, and reioyced in the workes of their owne handes.
Niki ba la' vrenlando ni ri baki nda nji ba hadaya (ton?) ni gunki waba la'a, nda ngiri nitu ndu wu womba.
42 Then God turned himselfe away, and gaue them vp to serue the host of heauen, as it is written in the booke of the Prophets, O house of Israel, haue ye offred to me slaine beasts and sacrifices by the space of fourtie yeres in the wildernes?
Irjhi a kaba chuwo du ba boata ni tsitse ni shulu, tohwa bana nha ni mi vunvu wu ba anabawaba. “Bi gon nimu nma miji mba haday ni ise tso-tsra-don-nza wa bi na he ni tsutsu miji'a ko mri Isra'ila?
43 And ye tooke vp the tabernacle of Moloch, and the starre of your god Remphan, figures, which ye made to worship them: therefore I will carie you away beyond Babylon.
Bi kpa ka'che' molech mba ntse wu vi irjhi Rephan, mba whi ki ba biti ni du yi kugungbarhu ni nzub hon. Nikima, mi vu yi vra zan gbran Babylon.
44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witnes, in the wildernes, as hee had appointed, speaking vnto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seene.
Ba timbu bana he ni ka'che' wu kpewa ba to ni shishimba ni tsutsumiji, me wa Irjhi a noba niwa a tre ni Musa'a, andi du ti tsra ni wa a toa.
45 Which tabernacle also our fathers receiued, and brought in with Iesus into the possession of the Gentiles, which God draue out before our fathers, vnto the dayes of Dauid:
Hu kima, ba timbu ni wo Joshua ana njiba to ninkomba, ba kpa ka'achea nda njiwu hu kpamba niwa ba vu meme a kpa. Irjhi a kpa meme ni wo gbungblu bi bubuki nda zu ba wru ni shishi ba timbu. kaachea a son ni meme'a ye ni nton Dawuda.
46 Who found fauour before God, and desired that hee might finde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
Wa Irjhi a kpanyme ni wu nda lhawu ni du wa bubu son ni ko Yakubu.
47 But Salomon built him an house.
Ana Suleimanu mba amme ko ni Irjhi.
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with handes, as saith the Prophet,
Ama kitoh ndi kikle wushu na son ni ko wa wondhi mme na, toh wa anabawaba ba tre.
49 Heauen is my throne, and earth is my footestoole: what house wil ye build for me, saith the Lord? or what place is it that I should rest in?
“Shulu mbahi bubu son tu chu mu, u meme mba hi kpran roro saza mu. A bibi ko rime wa bi mme ni mu inj Baci, ka a ngye bubu u kusi mu?
50 Hath not mine hand made all these things?
Ana womu mba ti kpi biyi wawu na?
51 Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
Biyi bi sen tu, biwa bana he kacia surona mba iton mba na, chachu bi kan bi ruhu tsatsra, bi ti to ba tumbi bana ti.
52 Which of the Prophets haue not your fathers persecuted? and they haue slaine them, which shewed before of the comming of that Iust, of whome ye are now the betrayers and murtherers,
Ahi anabi rime wa ba timbu bana tibayana. Ba wuh anabawa wa ba wru guci ni ye ndi wa ba yo wu di 'Analatre na', u zizan biyiyi bibi le ni wu dini wu'u ngame.
53 Which haue receiued the Lawe by the ordinance of Angels, and haue not kept it.
Biyi wa bi kpa doka wa malaika mba ba mla yowozi, ama bina kpa ti dun na.
54 But when they heard these thinges, their heartes brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
Niwa bi niko bawo kpi biyi wa ka ri ba ni suron baka tan nyren ni Istifanus.
55 But he being full of the holy Ghost, looked stedfastly into heauen, and sawe the glory of God, and Iesus standing at the right hand of God,
Don a shu ni Ruhu tsatsra, a nzu ya shulu nda toh dokaka Rji, nda to Yesu kri ni wo korhi wu Irjhi.
56 And said, Beholde, I see the heauens open, and the Sonne of man standing at the right hand of God.
Istifanus a tre ndi. “Toh, mi si to ni shishimu, shulu bwu, U vren Ndhi a kri ni worhi wu Irjhi
57 Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ranne vpon him violently all at once,
Nitu ki, biwaba son ni tra son bi ninkoa ba ka tonmba, nda yo gro ni kikle lan, nda lu honwu nitu kpe riri.
58 And cast him out of the citie, and stoned him: and the witnesses layd downe their clothes at a yong mans feete, named Saul.
Ba gbi'e wru ni mi gbu'a, nda ni ta ni tita. Bi wa ba toh zren kpeyi ba ju nklonba wu kora nda kazi ni za vrenze ri wa ndema a hi shawulu.
59 And they stoned Steuen, who called on God, and said, Lord Iesus, receiue my spirit.
Niwa basia ta Istifanus ni tita, a sia yo baci nda ni tre ndi “Baci Yesu, kpa viri mu.
60 And he kneeled downe, and cried with a loude voyce, Lord, laye not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he slept.
A kuqungbarhu nda yo ni kikle lan Baci, na vule nitu latre wa ba ti yi na” Niwa a tre kle, a ku rhoku kruna
