Acts 7
1 And the high priests said; Are these things so?
Bosi pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi wunyuvula: —Mambu mama bafundidi madi makiedika e?
2 And he said, Men, brothers and fathers, hear ye; The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he migrated into Haran, and He said to him;
Buna Etieni wuvutula: —Batata ayi bakhomba ziama, bika luwa mambu ndieka ntuba: Nzambi yi nkemboyimonikina Dise dieto Abalahami bu kaba ku Mesopotami, tuamina kavuanda ku Alani,
3 Come out from thy country and from thy kindred, and come hither into the land which I will show unto thee.
ayi wunkamba: Bika tsi aku ayi bibutu biaku vayi yenda ku tsi yoyi ndiela ku monisa.
4 And after his father died he migrated himself thence into this country in which you now dwell,
Buna wubika tsi yi Kalide ayi wuyenda vuanda ku Alani. Dise diandi bu kafua, Nzambi wuntumisa mu tsi yayi lulembo zingila buabu.
5 and God gave him no inheritance in it, not the step of his foot; and he promised to give it to him, and his seed after him, for an inheritance, there being no child to him.
Vayi Nzambi kasia kumvana kadi kiuka ko mu tsi yayi, ka diambu ko tini kintoto kioki kalenda tula lutambi luandi. Muaki Nzambi wunvana tsila yi kunvana tsi beni va kimosi ayi nkunꞌandi. Vayi mu thangu yina buna kabutidi kadi muana ko.
6 And thus God spoke, that his seed shall sojourn in a strange land, and they will enslave it and oppress it four hundred years.
Buna Nzambi wunkamba: nkunꞌaku wela zingila mu tsi yi kinzenza; bela kuwuyadila ayi bela kuwuyamisa
7 And the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, says God, and after these things they shall come out and serve me in this place.
Vayi Nzambi wubuela kamba diaka: ndiela sambisa tsi yoyi yela kuba yadila Bosi bela totuka mu tsi beni ayi bela kuiza ku tsambidila va buangu kiaki.
8 And He gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac, Jacob; and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs.
Nzambi wuvanga nguizani andi ayi Abalahami: nguizani yi nzengolo yi nitu yi kibakala. Abalahami wubuta Isaki, wunzenga mu lumbu ki nana. Isaki wubuta Yakobi bosi Yakobi wubuta kumi bakulu buadi.
9 And the patriarchs, envying Joseph, sold him into Egypt:
Bakulu basumbisa Zozefi ku Ezipite mu diambu di kikhenene. Vayi Nzambi wuba yandi.
10 and God was with him, and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him grace and wisdom before Pharaoh the king of Egypt; and he placed him governor over Egypt and all his house.
Diawu kankudila mu ziphasi ziandi zioso ayi mu nlemvo wu Nzambi, Zozefi wumonika mutu wu diela va ntuala Falawo, ntinu wu Ezipite. Diawu kanbiekila nyadi mu Ezipite dioso ayi mu nzo andi yoso.
11 And the famine came into all the land and Canaan, and great distress: and our fathers found no sustenance.
Vayi kutotuka kanda kingolo mu Ezipite dioso ayi mu Kana. Ziphasi zingolo ziba mu thangu beni. Bakulu beto basia baka bidia ko.
12 And Jacob hearing that there is food in Egypt, sent away our fathers first.
Yakobi bu kawa ti ble yiba ku Ezipite, buna kuna kafidisa bakulu beto mu khubu yitheti.
13 And the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren, and his race became manifest to Pharaoh.
Mu khumbu yimmuadi yayi kaba fidisa, Zozefi wukimonikisa kuidi bakhomba bandi ayi Falawo wuyiza zaba dikanda de Zozefi.
14 And Joseph sending, called to him Jacob his father, and all the family, seventy-five souls.
Buna Zozefi wutumisa dise diandi Yakobi ayi bibutu biandi bioso. Thalu yi batu boso yiba lusambudi lu batu ayi batu batanu.
15 And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he and our fathers died there.
Yakobi wuyenda ku Ezipite, kuawu kafuila va kimosi ayi bakulu beto.
16 And they were carried over into Shechem, and buried in a tomb which Abraham purchased from the sons of Emmor in Shechem with a sum of money.
Banatu ku Sikemi, baziku mu biziami bisumba Abalahami kuidi bana ba Amoli, bobo baba nkalanga mu Sikemi.
17 When the time of the promise which God made with Abraham drew nigh, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
Sumbu thangu yifueti dedikinina tsila Nzambi kavana Abalahami bu yifikama, buna batu babuelama ayi baluta buelama mu Ezipite
18 until another king arose over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
nate ntinu wunkaka wukambu zaba Zozefi wutotuka mu Ezipite. Zozefi.
19 He dealing fraudulently with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their infants, so that they should not live.
Ntinu beni wusadila luvunu va ntuala dikanda dieto, wumonisa bakulu beto ziphasi nate mu kuba kuika baloza bana bawu batsombi mu diambu bana beni babika zinga.
20 During which time Moses was born, and was beautiful to God; who was kept three months in the house of his father.
Yawu thangu yibutukila Moyize, wuba muana wu kitoko va ntuala Nzambi. Zingondi zitatu bambuta bandi bansuekila mu nzo.
21 And he being exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him, and adopted him for a son to herself.
Vayi bambuta bandi bu banloza, buna muana wunketo wu Falawo wuntota ayi wunyundula, wunkitula muanꞌandi.
22 And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and was mighty in his words and works.
Diawu Moyize wulongila mu ndongokolo yoso yi basi Ezipite, wuyiza ba mutu wunneni mu thubulu andi ayi mu mavanga mandi.
23 And when the time of the fortieth year was fulfilled to him, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
Moyize bu kadukisa makumaya ma mimvu, wubaka lukanu lu kuenda tadi bakhomba bandi; bana ba Iseli.
24 And seeing a certain one suffering affliction, he interposed, and executed vengeance in behalf of the oppressed one, slaying the Egyptian.
Bu kamona wumosi mu bawu, wumonoso phasi, buna wunkotila ayi wuvonda muisi Ezipite mutu wumonisa muana Iseli phasi.
25 And he supposed that his brethren would understand that God through his hand is giving them salvation: but they did not recognize it.
Wubanza ti bakhomba bandi zilznda sudika ti mu nzilꞌandi Nzambi wela kuba kula vayi basia sudika ko.
26 On the following day, he appeared to them fighting, and undertook to reduce them to peace, saying, Men, you are brethren; therefore do not injure one another.
Mu lumbu kilanda, wukimonisa kisa bana ba Iseli thangu baba nuana. Wuzola vutula ndembama va bawu bu kaba kamba: —A kiti beno luidi bakhomba! A bila mbi lulembo kimonisina phasi beno na beno e?
27 And the one injuring his neighbor thrust him away, saying, Who appointeth you a leader and a judge over us?
Vayi mutu wowo wumonisa ndiandi phasi wutemina Moyize ayi wunkamba: —A nani wubiekidi pfumu ayi zuzi dieto e?
28 whether do you wish to kill me, in the manner in which you slew the Egyptian yesterday?
Fuana ngeyo minu tidi vonda banga bobo wuvondidi muisi Ezipite kibeni yono e?
29 And at this word Moses fled, and became a sojourner in the land of Midia, where he begat two sons.
Moyize bu kawa bobo, wutina ayi wukituka nzenza mu tsi yi Madiani, kuawu kabutila bana buadi bababakala.
30 And forty years having passed away, an angel appeared to him in the desert of Mount Sinai in the flame of fire of the bramble bush.
Makumaya ma mimvu bu mavioka, buna mbasi yimmonikina mu dikanga di mongo wu Sinayi. Wummonikina mu nlaki wu mbazu mu finti.
31 And Moses, seeing the sight, was astonished: and he coming nigh to investigate, the voice of the Lord came:
Moyize bu kamona bobo, wusimina mu diambu di tsongolo. Bu kafikama mu kuenda tadi, buna mbembo yi Pfumu yiwakana:
32 I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembling, did not dare to investigate.
Minu ndidi Nzambi yi bakulu baku; Nzambi yi Abalahami, yi Izaki ayi yi Yakobi. Moyize weka tita ayi kasia nunga buela tala ko.
33 And the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet: for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.
Buna Pfumu wunkamba: Vula zisapatu zidi mu malu maku, bila buangu kioki telimini kidi ntoto wunlongo.
34 Seeing, I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and heard their groaning, and have come down to deliver them. And come now, I will send thee into Egypt.
Ndimueni ziphasi zi batu bama badi ku Ezipite. Ndiwilu bidilu biawu. Diawu ndizidi mu kuba kula. Yiza buabu bila ngeyo ndieka tuma ku Ezipite.
35 And this Moses whom they denied, saying, Who hath established thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent a ruler and deliverer, with the hand of an angel having appeared unto him in a bush.
Moyize beni diodi bamanga bu batuba: Nani wubiekidi pfumu ayi zuzi e? Buabu Nzambi wuntuma mu ba pfumu ayi nkudi mu lusadusu lu mbasi yoyi yimmonikina mu finti.
36 He led them out, doing wonders and miracles in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
Niandi wuba totula bu kavanga mambu manneni ayi bikumu mu tsi yi Ezipite, mu mbu wu mbuaki ayi mu dikanga mu tezo ki makumaya ma mimvu.
37 This Moses is the one having said to the sons of Israel, A prophet will God raise up to you of your brethren, like unto me.
Moyize beni niandi wukamba bana ba Iseli: Nzambi wela kulutotudila mbikudi wela ba banga minu va khatitsika bakhomba zieno.
38 And this is the one being in the church in the wilderness with the angel speaking to him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the living oracles to give unto us;
Niandi wuba mu lukutukunu ku dikanga va kimosi ayi mbasi yoyi yinyolukila ku mongo Sinayi va kimosi ayi bakulu beto. Niandi wutambula mambu ma moyo muingi katutudisila mawu.
39 to whom our fathers were not willing to be obedient, but thrust him away, and turned back in their hearts towards Egypt,
Vayi bakulu beto bamanga kuntumukina; banloza ayi mintima miawu mibaluka ku Ezipite.
40 saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us: for this Moses, who led us out from the land of Egypt, we know not what happened to him.
Bawu bakamba Aloni: —Wutuvangila zinzambi zilenda ku tutuaminina ku ntuala bila tukadi zaba mambu mbi mabuilulu Moyize diodi ditutotula mu tsi yi Ezipite.
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Diawu mu bilumbu bina, bavanga tumba kimuana ngombi ayi batambika makaba kuidi tumba beni. Bamona khini mu diambu di bima bivanga mioko miawu.
42 And God turned away, and gave them up to serve the host of the heaven; as has been written in the book of the prophets: Slain victims and sacrifices you have not brought unto me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel.
Vayi Nzambi wuba tamba manima, wuba yekula mu sadila zimbuetete banga busonimina mu nkanda wu mimbikudi: A basi Iseli, minu lutambikila bibulu ayi makaba mu makumaya ma mimvu mu dikanga e?
43 And ye took up the shrine of Moloch, and the star of the god Remphan, images which you made to worship them; and I will transport you beyond Babylon.
Beno lunata nzo ngoto yi Moloki ayi mbuetete yi nzambi Lefani, zimfikula ziozi luvanga muingi lubi; sambidila diawu ndiela kulunata mu buvika vioka Babiloni!
44 And the tabernacle of testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, as the one speaking to Moses commanded him to make it according to the example he had seen;
Bakulu beto baba ayi Nzo ngoto yi kimbangi mu dikanga, yivangama banga bu tumina Nzambi, Nzambi mutu wukamba Moyize ti kavanga yawu boso buididi mfikula yoyi kamona.
45 which our fathers receiving, brought in along with Joshua in the dispossession of the nations, whom God drove out, from the face of our fathers, until the days of David,
Bakulu beto bu batambula yawu; bayikotisa mu thangu zozue mu zitsi zi Bapakanu, babo Nzambi kakuka ku ntuala bakulu beto nate mu thangu Davidi,
46 who found favor before God, and asked that he should build a tabernacle for the house of Jacob.
mutu wowo wumonokono nlemvo kuidi Nzambi ayi wuzola tungila Nzambi Yakobi nzo.
47 But Solomon built a house for him.
Vayi Salomo wuyiza kuntungila nzo.
48 But the Most High dwelleth not in houses built with hands, as the prophet says,
Muaki, Nzambi yizangama kakalanga ko mu zinzo zitungulu mu mioko mi batu, banga bu tubila mbikudi:
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth the footstool of my feet: What house will you build for me? says the Lord; Or what shall be the place of my rest?
Pfumu wutuba: Diyilu diawu kundu kiama, ntoto kiawu buangu ndieti tetika malu mama. Buna phila nzo mbi luela kuthungila e? Voti phila buangu mbi kiela ba vundulu kiama e?
50 Hath not my hand made all of these things?
Mioko miama misia vanga ko bima bioso biobi e?
51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do ye.
A beno bankua matingu! Beno luidi mintima mikangama ayi matu mafua! Beno mamveno lukidi tingunanga kueno Pheve Yinlongo mu zithangu zioso banga bakulu beno.
52 Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? and they slew those proclaiming concerning the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you became:
Mbikudi mbi wowo bakulu beno bakambu yamisa e? Bavonda mimbikudi miomi mitubila ndizulu yi “Mutu wusonga”, mutu wowo beno lusumbisidi ayi lumvodisidi;
53 who received the law in the administrations of angels, and did not keep it.
beno lutambula Mina mu nzila yi zimbasi ayi lusia keba mina beni ko.
54 And hearing these words, they were cut through their hearts and gnashed their teeth at him.
Bu bawa mambu momo, bafuema ayi bakueta meno mu diambu diandi.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, and looking up to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Vayi niandi wuba wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo, wutala ku Diyilu, wumona nkembo wu Nzambi ayi wumona Yesu buna katelimini va koko ku lubakala lu Nzambi.
56 and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Buna wuba kamba: —Talanu, ndilembo moni Diyilu dizibukidi ayi Muana Mutu telimini va koko ku lubakala lu Nzambi.
57 And crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears, and unanimously rushed on him,
Bayamikina mu mbembo yingolo, bazibika matu mawu. Mu kithuadi baboso batumbu kumfuakana,
58 and casting him out from the city, they began to stone him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, called Saul:
bankoka ku fula di divula ayi banzuba matadi. Bambangi batula minledi miawu va malu ma ditoko dimosi dizina diandi Sawuli.
59 and continued to stone Stephen, calling upon the Lord, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Bazuba Etieni matadi vayi niandi wusambila ayi wutuba: —A Pfumu Yesu, tambula Pheve ama.
60 And putting down his knees, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, do not impute this sin to them. And saying this, he fell asleep.
Bosi wufukama ayi wuyamikina mu mbembo yingolo: —A Pfumu, kadi kuba tangila disumu diadi! Bu kamana tuba bobo, wufua.
