Acts 7
1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
Untekesi umbaha akajova, “sinomuvomba isi sakyang'ani?” U Stefano akajova, vanyalukoo numue va Nata vango, mumulikisighe uneune:
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 Charran,
U NguluveNguluve uwalwimiko aliya muhumile uNata ghwitu Abrahamu unsinki ghuno alyiale ku Mesopotamia, ye naikalile ku 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.
akambula, vukugha mu iisi Jakob navanyalukolo vako ulutaghe mu iisi jino kumwa nikukusona'.
4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldæans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
Pe akabuka mu iisi ija Ukaldayo akikala ku Harani, kuhuma apuo ye afyuila u Nata ghwa muenhe, uNguluve akamuleta mu iisi iji, jino vikukala lino.
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.
Nalyampelile name kimonga ikya vuhosi vwamwene, napwalia nambe jumonga apa kubiika ulughulu. Loli u Abraham alyafingilue ye akyiale nambe kuhola umuana ulwakuva ipelua iisi jive vutema vwa mwenhe na vanha va muenhe.
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.
U Nguluve alyajovile naghuope ndiki, ulwakuti avanha va mwenhe valikala mu iisi ija vuhesia, ulwakuti avanya iisi jila vikuvavikagha kuva vakami vavanave na kuvavomba fivi munsiki ughwa make filundu finhe.
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.
Naju Nguluve akajova, nilikuvahighagha ikisina kino kivavikile vagalulua, pano sikilile isio apuo pe vilihumagha na pikufunya kuliune mu iisi iji.'
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.
Akam'pela u Abrahamu ulufingo ulwa kukeghetua, apuo u Abrahamu akava vise ghwa Isaka akakegheta ikighono ikya lekela kuoni; U Isaka akava vise ghwa Yakobo, nhu Yakobo akava vise ghwa visukulu vitu kijigho na vavili.
9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
Avisukulu vitu vakam'bonela igila uYusufu vakamughusia mu iisi ija Misiri, na ju Nguluve alyale palikimo nhumwene,
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.
kange akamwavula mu mumuko sa Vene, akmpela ulunyamasio nhu vufwihu pavolongolo pa Farao Ntuwa u ghwa Misiri. U Farao akombuike kuva n'temi mu Misiri na munyumba ijamuene joni.
11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
Lol pejiliale injala imbaha kiongo nhi mumuk inyinga mu iisi ja Misiri namu Kanani nava Nhata viitu vakapatile ifyakulia.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
Loli u Yakobo ye apulike kuti kwekile ikyakulia ku Misiri alyavomuile avaNhata.
13 And at the second [time] Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
Ye vaghendile uYusufu akihufiagha kuvanyalukolo va mwene, ulukolo ulwa Yusufu lukakagula kwa Farao.
14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to [him], and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
U Yusufu akavomola avanyalukolo va mwene kuluta kukum'bula u Yakobo nhu vise ghuvanave ise ku Misir, palikimo navanyalukolo vamwene, palikimo na vanhu voni valyale ifijigho n'dekela lubale navahano.
15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
Loli uYakobo akika kuMisiri pe akafua umwene palikimo nava Nhata viitu.
16 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor [the father] of Sychem.
Vakatolua vakaluka ku Shekemu vakasyilula mu mbipa jino uAbrahamu valyaghulile ni ndalama kuhuma kuvanha vaHamari kuula ku Shekemu.
17 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Amasiki agha lufingo Lula ghano Unguluve alyafingine nhu Abrahamu ye ghulipipi, avanhu pano vakava vongelile ku Misri.
18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
Unsiki ughuo alyatemile ujunge uNtuwa Misri, uNtuwa Juno alyankaguile u 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.
u Ntua ujunge ujuo akavadengania avanhu vitu name vavombi ava Nhata vitu, no kuvatagha avana vavanave avafyiele kuti valeke kukukala.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months:
Unsiki ghulaghula uMusa akaholuagha; alyilealyile nofu pavulongolo pa Nguluve, akalelua mesi ghatatu munyumba ija vise.
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
Unsiki ghuno alyataghilue, umwalive Farao alyatolilue akamulela huene mwanake.
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
U Musa alyavulanisivue imanyilo soni isa Misri; alyale nikufu kumasio na kumbombele.
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
Loli yekwaline amaka fijigho fine' lukamwisila munumbula jamwene kuvaghendela vanyalukolo vake, Alana ava Israeli.
24 And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended [him], and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
Ye amwaghile umu Israeli ivombelua fiivi, uMusauMusa akan'tanga name kuvangulila akalumbila kwa juno alyam'bonile akantova umMisiri.
25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
Akisaghilagha kuti vanyalukolo va mwene vikagula kuti u Nguluve ikuvavula mu luvoko ulwa mwene, loli navalyalumanyile.
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?
Ikighono kino kikafingile akaluta kuvamo va Israeli valyale vilua, akaghela kuvasambania; akatisagha, mwevatua, umue mulilukolo; kiiki mupungana jumuejumue kwa jumue?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Loli juno alyamokiile um'bading'ani ghwa mwene akavadighulilagha kuvutali, na akajova, 'Ghweveni juno akuvikile piva ntemi kange piva meghi ghwitu?
28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
Uve ghuloda pikum'buda, ndavule WA mbuda umuMisri Pammie?”
29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
U Musa akakimbila ye asipulike isio; akava mesia mu iisi ja Midiani, apuo pe akava vise ghwa vanha vavili.
30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
Ye ghakilile amaka ifijigho fine, unyamola akamuumila mulukuve lwa kidunda ikya Sinai, mululapi ulwa mwoto munkate mukianji.
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,
Unsiki ghuno u Musa alyaghuvuene umuoto, alyadeghagha na pikudegha kiongo kind alyakivuene, panopano akaghelagha kuti akiveleleele ulwakuti akilole, ilisio lya Mutwa likamwisila likati,
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.
'Une nili Nguluve wava NhataNhata vako, Nguluve ughwa Abrahamu, nhu Isaka, nhu Yakobo; uMusa alyatetime nakaghela nambe kulola.
33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
U Mutwa akam'bula, full ifilato fyiako, apuo pano ghwimile pimike.
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.
Nisaghile imumuko sa vanhu vango vino vali ku Misri, nipulike kutamua kuvanave, unenikile ulwakuti nivavule; lino isagha, nekwomola uve ku 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.
U Musa uju Juno valya n'kanile, unsiki ghono valyajovile, 'ghweveni juno akakuvombile piva n'temi kange mulamusi ghuitu?' alyale ghwe Nguluve Juno alyamwomwile ave n'temi kange m'poki. U Nguluve alyamwomwile muluvoko lwa vanyamola Juno aliya muhumile uMusa mukihanji.
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.
U Musa alyavalongwisie kuhuma ku Misri ye akiiale kuvomba ifidegho ni kidegho mu Misri name mulusumba ilya Shamu, na mulukuvi mu nsiki ughwa maka fijigho fine.
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.
Ghwe Musa uju juno alyavavulile avanhu va mu Israeli kuva, uNguluve ilikumwimia um'bili kuhuma mu lyumue muvanyalukolo vinhu, um'bili ndavule unhe'.
38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and [with] our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
Uju ghwe munhu juno alyale mukipugha kya lukuvi nhu nyamola juno alyajovile nhu mwene mukidunda ikya Sinai. Uju ghwe munhu Juno alyale nava Nhata vitu, uju ghwe munhu alyupile ilisio linolilyale nhu vumi na kutupela usue.
39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust [him] from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
Uju ghwe munhu juno ava Nhata vitu valyankanile kukumuleva, valyantaghile kuvutali, na munumbula sivanave sino silyagevukile ku 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.
Munsiki ughuo valyam'bulile u Haruni.' ututendele amatekelo ghano ghikutu longosia. U Must ujuo, juno alyale ikutulongosia kuhuma mu iisi ja muMisri, natukagula kinokimwaghile.'
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
ApuoApuo pevakatenda indama kufighono ifio pe vakahumiagha ilitekelo kukihwani ikio pe vakahovokagha ulwakuva vavombile imbombo sa mavoko gha vanave.
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?
Loli uNguluve alyavahambusie na pikuvapela vino vikufunya kunondue isakukyanya, ndavule lilyalembilue mikitabu kya vaviili, 'vuli munyumikisie une amatekelo agha fidimuafidimua finofino mulyabudile ku lukuve ku nsiiki ughwa maka fijigho fine, munyumba ja 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.
Mwitike ihema ijakukong'ania ija Moleki ni nondue ija Nguluve u refani, nakikihuani kino mukatendile na pikufunya kuveene: pe nikavatwalagha kuvutali kukila kubabeli.'
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.
Ava Nhata vitu valyale nihema ija kukong'anile ija vwolesi kulukuve, ndavule u Nguluve alyavalaghile pano alyajovile nhu Musa, kuuti ngale alyatendile mu kihwani kino alyakyaghile.
45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
Iji je hema jino avaNhata viitu, munsiki ghwave, valyatwalile mu iisi nhu Joshua. Isi silyahumile amasiki ghanovalingile kutema ikisiina kino uNguluve alyavadughile ava nhata viitu yevakyale kuviikua. uluo lulyale ndiki m'paka kufikila mufighono fya Daudi,
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
juno alitikisivue nhunhu Nguluve pa Mason ghake, pe akasuma kulonda uvukalo Kwan Nguluve ughwa Yakobo.
47 But Solomon built him an house.
Loli uSelemani alyanjengile inyumba ja Nguluve.
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Loli umwene juno alyale kukyanya na ikukala munyumba sino sijengilue na mavoko; ulu lulindavule up'biili alyajovile.
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?
Uvulanga kye kitengo kyango ikya vuTua, iisi je jakuvika amaghulu ghango. Jiva nyumba je jilindani mukunjengela?, u Mutwa ijova: nakuva kwekughi kulyune ukwakupumila?
50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
Na lweluvoko lwango lunoluvombile ifi fioni?'
51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers [did], so [do] ye.
Umwe mwe vnhu mwe vanya sing inyuumu mwe vano namudumulivue inhumbula ni nimbung'ulutu, January mukunkana uMhepo Mwimiike,' muvomba ndavule ava nhata vunhu valyavombile.
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:
M'biili veni muva viili juno avanhata viinu navalyampumwisie? Valyavabudile avaviili vanovalyavahumile yeye akyale pikuisa jumo unyavwakyang'ani,' nalinolino mulivahindami kange mulivabudi vamweene,
53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept [it.]
umuewe vanhu mwevano mukupile indaghilo sila sino silyaghuile nhumunyamola loli namukajikola.”
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with [their] teeth.
Loli avatua va pa vuhighighi ye vapulike amasio agha inhumbula sivsnave silya vavile kyiongo, vaka gwenulila amino u 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,
Loli umwene, ye amalile uMhepo uMwimike, akalola vunono kukyanya akavwagha uvwimike vwa Nguluve,' napikumbona u Yesu imile kuluvoko ulwa kundio ulwa Nguluve.
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
U Stefano akajova, “Lolagha nivwaghile uvulanga vudindwike, najumwana wa Adam imile uluvoko lwa kundio ulwa Nguluve.”
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
Loli avahighi va vahighi vakovela kyongo ni lisio ilikome, vakadinda imbughulutu sivanave, vakankimbiliila palikimo.
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.
Vakantagha kunjikunji kulikaja pe vakadijavakadija na mavue: navavolesi va kafula ameanda gha vanave aghakunji nakuvikapasi pipi na maghulu agha nsoleka juno akatambuluagha Sauli.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [God], and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Pano valyale vikun'tova u Sitefano namavue, pe akaghendelela pikunkemela uMutwa akajova, “Mutwa Yesu, upila inhumbula jango,”.
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.
Akafughama namafundo akakemela nilisiio ilivaha, “Mutwa nhungavavalililaghe uvuhosi uvu.” Ye ajovile isio akafwisagha.
