Acts 7
1 Then sayd the chiefe Priest, Are these things so?
Ugosi we shibhanza waga,”ezi enongwa zye lyoli”?
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,
U Stefano wagamula waga, “Bhaholo bhane na bhaise bhane ntejelezi zyeyanga: Ungulubhi yabhunishie uise wetu u Ibulahimu nahali hu Mesopotamia, sasele asamile ensi ene eye hu Harani,'
3 And said vnto him, Come out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and come into the land, which I shall shewe thee.
Ungulubhi ahabhuula ahagu epa awe munsi ene usame ubhale hunsi yembahulanje'.
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,
Wasogola wasama hunsi ya Hukardayo wakhala hu Harani, afume epo, uise wakwe nawafwiwa, Ungulubhi waleta munsi ene yabhakhala eshi.
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.
Sigapiya nahamo ahagale, siga alinapo ata pibhishe eshinama. Lelo Ungulubhi alaginye u Ibulahimu sasele apate umwana huje aipelwa ensi ene aje aiigala nabhana bhakwe.
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.
Ungulubhi ayanjile nawo eshi abhana bhaho hunsi eyeshijinyi na akhaya bhaibhabhiha bhaboyi bhabho(bhafubhilwa) nantele bhaibhabhomba embibhi humahaemia zine 400.
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.
Ungulubhi ahaga naibhalonga abhantu bhabhaibhabhombela embibhi abhe ensi eyo, abhantu bhane naibhagalusya bhayenza ampuute ane munsi ene.'
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.
Wapela uIbulahimu ilagano lye tohara, u Ibulahimu wabha ise wa Isaka watahiri isiku elya nane; u Isaka wabha ise wa Yakobo, uYakobo wabha yise wa yise bhetu ilongo na bhabhili.
9 And the Patriarkes moued with enuie, solde Ioseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
Aise bhetu bhalolela ukero(umwone) uYusufu bhakazya hu Misri, Ungulubhi ali pandwimo nawo,
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.
ungulubhi aponizye na malabha gonti, Ungulubhi wapela ineema, ne hekima hwa Farao, uFarao wabhiha aje abhe gosi munsi yonti na munyumba yakwe.
11 Then came there a famine ouer all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction, that our fathers found no sustenance.
Enzala ihagwiye hunsi yonti eya hu Misri ba hu Kanani, abhantu bhapiite amalabha sana abhaise bhetu sebhali neshalye.
12 But when Iacob heard that there was corne in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
U Yakobo nawumvwa huje hu Misri, hulineshalye, abhatumile aise bhetu ulwahwande.
13 And at the second time, Ioseph was knowen of his brethren, and Iosephs kindred was made knowen vnto Pharao.
Nabhabhalile ulwabhili uYusufu ahwibhonisizya hwa holo bhake aholo bha Yusufu bhamanyiha hwa Farao.
14 Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kindred, euen threescore and fifteene soules.
O Yusufu wabhatuma aholo bhakwe bhabhale humweje uise wabho na bhanji bhakhalaga nabho bhonti bhaali amalongo saba na bhasanu 75.
15 So Iacob went downe into Egypt, and he dyed, and our fathers,
U Yakobo wiha hunsi ya hu Misri, umwene wafwa naise bhetu bonti.
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.
Bhabhega mpaka hushekemu bhasyelwa munkungwa yakalile uIburahimu ne hela hwa bhana bha Hamori hula hu Shekemu.
17 But when the time of the promise drewe neere, which God had sworne to Abraham, the people grewe and multiplied in Egypt,
Ululagano lula Ungulubhi lwalaginne nu Ibulahimu na lwapalamila, abhantu nabhonjelela uwinji hula hu Misri,
18 Till another King arose, which knewe not Ioseph.
aheenza umfumu uwamwabho hu Misri, abhasuliha abhantu aje bhabhavitwe abha Israeli, nabude abhaana adodo aje bhasahonjelele apapane.
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.
Umfumu uyo abhakhopela abhantu nabhasulishe, bhabhabhombile embibhi aise bhetu nataje abhana bhabho aje bhasahabhe bhoomi.
20 The same time was Moses borne, and was acceptable vnto God, which was nourished vp in his fathers house three moneths.
Ulwo uMusa aapepwe; ali mwinza hwa Ngulubhi, walelwa amezi gatatu muntumba ya ise.
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter tooke him vp, and nourished him for her owne sonne.
Unyina watabhila ahatundu wazyema ne lami wabhala wataga umwale wa Farao wabhala watola walela neshi unyina.
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdome of the Egyptians, and was mightie in wordes and in deedes.
U Musa wafundiziwa enfunizyo zyonti ezyeshi Misri; ali nikhone munongwa na bhombe.
23 Nowe when he was full fourtie yeere olde, it came into his heart to visite his brethren, the children of Israel.
Nawafisya amaha amalongo gane, wasiibha humwoyo aje ashuule hwa holo bhakwe abhana bha Israeli.
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.
Walola uholo wakwe abhone lwa nu Mmisri watanjila wakhoma ula Umsri wabuda:
25 For hee supposed his brethren would haue vnderstand, that God by his hande should giue them deliuerance: but they vnderstoode it not.
umwene asibhile huje aholo bhakwe bhabhaje ayinzele atokole Ungulubhi atumile fwanii aholo bhakwe sebhasibhile isho.
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?
Isiku ilya mwabho wabhaga abha Israeli bhalwa bheene; walenga abhamulanye waga amwe mulibhaholo yeenu mulwa mubhene?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a prince, and a iudge ouer vs?
Ulayalwanga nuwamwabho wabunshila hula wabhuula waga wenu yabhishile awe aje ubhe tanzanyi wetu?
28 Wilt thou kill mee, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
Uhwanzaje ungoje neshi uhagojile Ummisri ula igamo?”
29 Then fled Moses at that saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begate two sonnes.
U Musa washimbila ahwumvwe isho; wabhala hu Midiani, uhwo wabha yise wa bhana bhabhili.
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.
Amaha amalongo gane nagashila, umalaika ahajendela hwijangwa mwatatango hahahaga umwoto.
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,
U Musa ahaswiga ajawalola atatango hahwaha umwoto, lelo sehalungulila, nawalinga ahazubhilile, wumvwa izu liyanga,
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.
'Ane ne Ngulubhi wa yise bhaho, uIbulahimu, nu Isaka, nu Yakobo'. U Musa wogopa nayinje se hwenye.
33 Then the Lord said to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feete: for the place where thou standest, is holy ground.
Ungulubhi wabhuula waga satula evilato vyaho, puyimiliye epa nsintuntumu.
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.
Engalolile amalabha gabhantu bhane na mayemba gabhali nago hu Misri; Ane enishile abhavwe; eshi enza etume, ubhale hu Misri.'
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.
Unu uMusa yabhakhine yabhajile wenu yabhishile awe ubhe gamulanyi wetu?'- Ungulubhi yatumile abhookole afumiye mumwoto atatango nahahahaga.
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.
U Musa abhalongozizye afume hu Misri ashilile hwijangwa Ungulubhi abhombile amambo minji agaswijizye hu Misri ashilile hwa Musa bhalobhoshe ebahari abhalongozizye humaha amalongo nane'.
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.
Yu Musa yunu yabhabhuulile abhantu huje Ungulubhi aibhaletela ukuwe yali neshane afume hulimwe'.
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.
Unu muntu yaali hubhungano, hula hwijangwa nu malaika yayanjile nawo hwigamba lya Sinai. Unu yayula yaali na ise bhetu, unu yayula ahe eleye izu elyomi natipele ate.
39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but refused, and in their hearts turned backe againe into Egypt:
Unu yayula aise bhetu bhahakhanile, bhabunshiye uhutali na humoyo gabho bhagalushe hu Misri.
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.
Eshipindi esho bhahabhuula u Haruni.'bhahaga tilenganyizye ungulubhi(mangulubhi) atilongozye uMusa manyi zyazimwajile uhwo.
41 And they made a calfe in those dayes, and offered sacrifice vnto the idole, and reioyced in the workes of their owne handes.
Bhagomba(bhalinganya) endama hunsiku izyo bhafumyia ne sadaka hundama bhaisungwa embombo ye makhono gabho.
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?
Ungulubhi ahavitwa ahabhaleha bhapuute entondwe sazyasimbilwe eshakuwe aje mwamfumizizye ane esadaka ezyevyuma hwijangwa humaha amalongo gane amwe bha Israeli?
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.
Muyetesha ihema elyatanganile elya Moleki ne ntondwa ya Ungulubhi refani, ne shifwani shamulingenye na puute hwa bhene: eshi embabhabhenje embabhatwale ohutali ashile hu Babeli.'
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.
Aise bhetu bhaali ni hema elyatanganile, Ungulubhi shayanjile nu Musa huje alenganye neshi lila shalilolile.
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:
Eli lihema aise bhetu, ojoshwa pabhaletaga ensi ene Ungulubhi pabhabhenjele akhaya aise bhetu sabhasile ahwinze ensi ene ezi zya esho mpaka ensiku ezya Daudi,
46 Who found fauour before God, and desired that hee might finde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
umwene ahetehwe nu Ngulubhi,' na alabhile ahwanze ukkhalo hwa Ngulubhi wa Yakobo.
47 But Salomon built him an house.
Lelo u Sulemani azenjeye Ungulubhi enyumba.
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with handes, as saith the Prophet,
Eshi umwene Ungulubhi sigaakha munyumba zyazizengwilwe namakhono neshi ukuwezya yanjile,
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?
Emwanya litengo lyane elye ufumu na ensi pabhishe amanama gane. Mubhanzenjele nyumba wili?, ayanga Ungulubhi: na apatuye ane paposhi?'
50 Hath not mine hand made all these things?
Ukhono gwane segwagwogu gwabhombile ezi zyonti?'
51 Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
Amwe mubhensingo ehome mwasigamtahiliwe amoyo na makutu, mwamuhupinga Umpepo Ufinjile,' mubhomba neshi shabhabhombaga aise benyu.
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,
Kuwe wili hwa kuwe bhonti aise bhenyu bhasiga bhabhatesile? Bhabhabudile akuwe bhonti bhabhakuwaga ahwenze hwa ula Umuntu Umwinza,'neshi mulumenye na hubude,
53 Which haue receiued the Lawe by the ordinance of Angels, and haue not kept it.
amwe mwamwaposhiye esheria ela yamwalajiziwe nantele semwahanzaga aikhate.”
54 But when they heard these thinges, their heartes brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
Ajumbe nabhonvwa enongwa ezyo zyabhavwalazya humwoyo bhamwenya eshibhibhi e Stefano.
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,
Lelo umwene, uStefano abhe amemile Umpepo Ufinjile wenya amaso gakwe humwanya waulola utuntumu wa Ngulubhi,' nu Yesu akhiye hukhono ulilo gwa Ngulubhi.
56 And said, Beholde, I see the heauens open, and the Sonne of man standing at the right hand of God.
U Stefano waga, “Enzilola emwanya zigushe nu Yesu ayimiliye hukhono ulilo gwa Ngulubhi.”
57 Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ranne vpon him violently all at once,
Lelo abhantu abhi baraza bhabwaga ibwago, igosi bhadinda amakutu gabho bhashimbilila bhakhata,
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.
bhapanya hwunzi ye khaya bhakhoma na mawe” naketi bhasatula amenda gabho bhabhiha pamanama gasahala umo itawa yu Sauli.
59 And they stoned Steuen, who called on God, and said, Lord Iesus, receiue my spirit.
Nabhahwendelela ahupuule na mawe umwene wenya amaso gakwe humwanya waga Yesu, ejelela eroho yane,'.
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.
Wafugamila wakwizya hwizu igosi waga gosi wane Yesu usabhabhazizye embibhi ezi zyabhabhomba. “Nawayanga isho wapuma wafwa.
