Acts 7
1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
Kuhani mbaha akajobha. “Mambo agha gha bhukweli”?
2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
Stefano akajobha, “Bhalongo bhangu ni badadi jhangu munip'elekesiajhi nene: K'yara ghwa bhutukufu an'tokili dadi jhitu Abrahamu bhwakati ajhele Mesopotamia kabla hja, kutama Harani;
3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
akan'jobhela, bhokayi katika nchi jha jhobhi ni bhanu bha jhobhi na ulotayi, mu nchi jha nibetakulasya'.
4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldæans, and dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
Kisha akabhoka mu nchi jha ukaldayo akatama Harani, kuhomela apu, Baada jha dadi munu kufwa, K'yara akandeta mu nchi ejhe, jhabhitama henu.
5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
Ampelilepi kyokyoha kama urithi bwa muene, pajhelepi hata ni sehemu jha kubheka ligolo. Lakini Abrahamu ahaidibhu hata kabla jha kukabhe muana kujhanibetakupelibhwa nchi kama miliki jha muene ni uzao bhwa muene
6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.
K'yara ajobhi naku naha, jha kujha bhazao bha muene nghabhatamili mu nchi jha kubhuhesya ni bhenyeji bha okhubhibeta kubhabhomba bhatumwa bha bhene ni kubhabhomba fibaya kwa muda ghwa miaka mianne.
7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
Ni K'yara akajobha nibetakulihukumu taifa ambalyo libeta kubhabhomba mateka, ni baada jha apu bhibhita kuhoma ni kuniabudu pa sehemu ejhe.
8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.
Na ampelili Abrahamu Agano lya tohara. Ivyo Abrahamu akajha ghwa ISaka akan'tahiri ligono lya nane; Isaka akajha dadi ghwa Yakobo ni Yakobo akajha dadi ghwa bhakhoko bhitu kumi ni bhabhele.
9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
Bhakoko bhitu bhakambonela bhwifu Yusufu bhakan'hemesya katika nchi jh a Misri, ni K'yara ajhele pamonga ni muene,
10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
ni kumwokola katika malombosi gha muene, ni kumpela fadhili ni hekima mbele jha Farao mfalme ghwa Misri. Farao akambeka kujha mtawala juu jha Misri ni juu jha nyumba jha muene jhioha.
11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
Basi kwajhele ni njala mbaha ni malombosi mingi mu nchi jha Misri ni kanani, ni bhadidi jhitu bhakabhilepi kyakulya.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
Lakini Yakobo bho apeliki kujha ni nafakaMisri, abhalaghisi bha dadi jhitu kwa mara jha kwanza.
13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
Katika safari jha pili Yusufu akakilasya kwa bhalongo munu, familia jha Yusufu jhikamanyikana kwa Farao.
14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
Yusufu abhalaghisi bhalongomunu kulota kun'jobhela Yakobo dadi jabhi ahidayi Misri, pamonga ni ndongo munu, jumla jha bhanu bhoha sabini na tano.
15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
Hivyo Yakobo aselili Misri; kisha afuili pamonga ni bhadadi jhitu.
16 And were carried over into Shechem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem.
Bhakatolibhwa hata Shekemu bhakasyelibhwa mulikaburi ambalyo Abrahamu alihemili kwa fipandi fya hela kuhoma kwa bhana bha Hamori okhu Shekemu.
17 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Bhwakati bhwa jhela ahidi ambayo K'yara aahidi Abrahamu bho bhukaribili, bhanu bho bhajhongesiki oku Misri,
18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
Bhwakati obhu ajhinuiki mfalme jhongi Misri, mfalme jhaa manyilepi kuhusu Yusufu.
19 The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
Mfalme jhongi ojho akabhakofya bhanu bhitu ni kubhabhomba mabhibhi bha dadi jhitu, ni kubhatagha bhana bhabhi bhadebe ili bhasiishi.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months:
Katika kipindi khela Musa ahogoliki ajhele nnofu mbele jha K'yara alalibhu miesi midatu mu nyumba jha dadi munu.
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
Bhwakati ataghibhu, binti ghwa Farao antolili akandela kama mwana munu.
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
Musa amanyisibhu mafundisu ghoha gha kimisri; ajhele ni nghofu mu malobhi ni matendo.
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
Lakini baada jha kutimisya miaka arobaini, jhikanhidila mu muoyo bhwa muene kubhagendela bhalongo munu, bhana bha Israeli.
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
Bhoambwene mwisraeli ibhombibhwa mabhibhi, Musa an'telili ni kulepesya kisasi kwa jhaamboneleghe kwa kun'tobha Mmsri.
25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
Afikineghe kujha bhalongo munu bhibeta kumanya kujha K'yara akabhaokola kwa mabhoko gha muene lakini bhamanyilepi.
26 And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
Ligono lya lafwatili akalota kwa baadhi jha bhaisraeli bhahakomaneghe; akajaribu kubhapatenisya; akajobha Mabwana, muenga ndongo, mbona mwikoselana jhmu kwa jhomu?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Lakini jhaankosili jirani ghwa muene akansukumila patali ni kujobha, 'Niani akubhombili kujha mtawala ni mhukumu ghwa tete?
28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
Bhebhe wilonda kunikoma kama kyaghwan'komili Mmisri golo”?
29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
Musa ajumbili baada jha kupeleka nahu; akajha n'hesya mu nchi jha Midiani ambapo akajha dadi ghwa bhana bhabhele.
30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
Baada jha miaka arobaini kup'eta, malaika akan'tokela mu jangwa lya kidonda sinai, katika mb'ele ghwa muoto mukichaka.
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,
Bwakati Musa abubhwene muoto, ashangele ni kustajabila khela kya akibhwene, na bhoajeribu kukihegelela ili kukilanga sauti jha Bwana ikan'hidila ni kujobha,
32 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
“Nene ne K'yara ghwa bha dadi waku, K'yara ghwa Abrahamu, ni ghwa Isaka, ni ghwa Yakobo; Musa atetenuki na athubulepi kulanga.
33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
Bwana akan'jobhela, “Fulayi filatu fya jhibhi, sehemu pa ujhemili ndo mahali patakatifu.
34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
Nighabhuene mateso gha bhanu bhangu bhabhajhele Misri; Nip'eleliki kuluala kwa bhene, nani niselili ili nibhaokolayi; Henu hidayi, nibeta kulaghisya bhebhe Misri.'
35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
Ojhi Musa jha bhambelili, wakati bhijobha, Niani akubhekili kujha mtawala ni mwamuzi ghwa tete? Ajhele ndo K'yara andaghisi kujha mtawala ni n'kombozi K'yara andaghisi kwa kibhoko kya malaika ambajhe an'tokili Musa mu kichaka.
36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
Musa abhalonguisi kuhomela Misri baada jha kubhomba miujiza ni ishara kuimisri ni kubahari jha Shamu, ni kulijangwa kwa kipindi kya miaka arobaini.
37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
Ndo Musa ojho jhaabhajobhili bhanu bha Israeli kujha, K'yara ibetakubhajhinubila nabii kuhomele miongonni mwa bhalongo bhinu, nabii kama nene.
38 This is he, that was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the living oracles to give unto us:
Ojho ndo munu ambajhe ajhele ku n'kutano ku lijangwa ni malaika ambajhe alongi nakhu pa kidonda Sinai. Ojho ndo munu apokili lilobhi lyalijhe hai ni kutupela tete.
39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
Ojho ndo munu ambajhe bhadadijhitu bhabeli kuntii; bhan'sukumili patali ni mu mioyo ghyabho bhageukili Misri.
40 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
Mu kipindi e'ku bhan'jobhili Haruni.'tutengeneselayi miungu ghyaghibetakutulongosya. Musa ojho, jhaatulongosiaghe kuhomela nchi jha Misri, tumanyilepi kyakin'kolili.'
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Hiyo bhatengenisi liloli kwa magono aghu ni kupisya sadaka kwa sanamu ejhu na bhahobheleli kwa ndabha jha mbombo jhe mabhoko gha bhene.
42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
Lakini K'yara abhageuzili ni kubhapela bhaabudu ajhi litondo lya kunani, kama kya jhilembibhu mu kitabu kya manabii, je, munihomesili nene sadaka sya bhanyama bha mubhachijhili ku jangwa kwa muda bhwa miaka arobaini nyumba jha Israeli?
43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
Mujhedekili hema jha kubhonanila jha Moleki ni litondo lya K'yara refani, ni picha jha muteng'enisi ni kubhaabudu bhene: ne nibetakubhapeleka patali zaidi jha Babeli.
44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
Bhadadi jhitu bha jhe ni hema lya kubhonanila jha bhushuhuda jangwani kama K'yara kyaamuili bhoilongela ni Musa, kwamba ngaaiteng'enisi kwa mfano bhwa bhola bhwaabhuene.
45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Joshua into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
E'le ndo lihema ambalyobha dadi jhitu, kwa bhwakati ghwa bhene bhaletibhu mu nchi ni Joshua. Ejhhe jhatokili bhwakati bho bhajhingili kumiliki taifa ambalyo K'yara abhabhengili kabla jha uwepo ghwa bha dadi jhitu. Ejhe jha jhele naha mpaka magono gha Daudi,
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
ambajhe akabhaili kibanda makao kwa k'yara ghwa Yakobo
47 But Solomon built him an house.
Lakini Sulemani an'jengili nyumba jha K'yara.
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Hata naha jhe ajhe kunani itama lepi munyumba sya sijengebhu kwa mabhoko; ejhe kama nabii kya ajobhili,
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
Mbingu ndo kiti kyangu kya enzi, ni dunia ndo sehemu jha kubheka magolo gha jhoni. Nyumba jha aina jheleku mwibetakujenga? ijobha Bwana; jhjhendaku sehemu jha nene jha kup'omoseka?
50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
Siyo kibhoko kya nene kya kibhombili agha ghoha?
51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Enye bhanu bha mujhe ni singu sikatafu mwam'belikuiribhwa mioyoni mb'olokolo, khila mara mukampinga Roho mtakatifu; mwibhombil.
52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
Ni nabii jholeku katika manabii ambajhe bhadadi jhinu bhan'tesilipi? Bhabhakhomili manabii bhoha bhabhetokili kabla jha ujio bhwa mmonga mwenye haki,' ni henu mmalikujha mwebhasaliti ni bhauajhi bha muene kabhole,
53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
enyi bhanu jha mwapokili sheria jhela jha laghisibhu ni malaika lakini mwajhikamuili lepi.”
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
Kisha bhajumbe bha baraza bhobhap'eliki mambo agha, bhanyanyibhu mioyo ghya bhene, bhakan'syaghila minu Stefano.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Lakini muene bho amemili Roho mtakatifu, alolili kumbinguni kwa makini ni kubhubhona utukufu bhwa K'yara; ni kumbona Yesu ajhemili kibhoko kya kuume kya K'yara.
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Stefano akajobha, “Langayi nijhibhwene mbingu sifungwiki, ni Mwana gha Adamu ajhemili kibhoko kya kuume kya K'yara.”
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
Lakini bhajmbe bhe baraza bhapigili kelele kwa sauti mbaha, bhakaziba mb'olokoto sya bhene, bhakan'jumbilila kwa pamonga,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
Bhakan'tagha kwibhala mu masi ni kun'tobha ni maganga; ni mashahidi bhakafula nghobho sya bhene kwibhala ni kubheka pasi karibu ni magolo gha n'songolo jhaakutibhweghe Sauli.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Bhwakati bhakan'tobha magangaa Stefano, ajhendelili kunkuta Bwana ni kujobha, “Bwana Yesu pokelayi roho jhangu,”.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Akapiga magoti ni kukuta kwa sauti mbaha, “Bwana, usibhabhalangili dhambi ejhe.” Bho ajobhi aghu akatili roho.
