Acts 7
1 And the chief priest said, “Are then these things so?”
O kopadiciamo den yedi Etiena: yeni li tie moamoane bii?
2 And he said, “Men, brothers, and fathers, listen! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran,
Etiena den guadi ki yedi o: n kpiba bi jaaba leni n baanba, cengi mani; Ti kpiagidi tienu den doagidi O yuli Abalahama ya yogunu ke o den ye mesopotami hali ki daa kaali halana.
3 and He said to him, Go forth out of your land, and out of your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.
Oden yedi o: ña a danba kani leni a dandoguni ki gedi ya dogu ke n bati waani ŋa.
4 Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from there, after the death of his father, He removed him to this land wherein you now dwell,
o den tuo ñani ya dogu ke bi yi kalide ki ban kali halana. lan kani o ba kuumi puoli Otienu den gedini o ya dogu ke i jii kaa moala.
5 and He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep, and promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him—he having no child.
Otienu naa den punio tin diedi kaaga ba taapuogu n ba ŋmaa naani. ama O den niani ke O bati teni o laa kaanu ban diedi wani leni opuoliŋoani o yaa ti ye. ba yeni wan kaa pia biga.
6 And God spoke thus, that his seed will be sojourning in a strange land, and they will cause it to serve, and will do it evil [for] four hundred years.
utienu den yedi o yaali tie na: Abalahama puoliŋoanu ba ti fa tua canba ya dogu n kaa tie bi dogu. laa diemani yaaba ba teni ban tua bi yonbi, ki go wani ba fala bina kobina.
7 And the nation whom they will serve I will judge, said God; And after these things they will come forth and will do Me service in this place.
Ama otienu yedi: ya dogu n ba ti taaba ban tua yonbi, mini utienu n ba jia u buudi. lan yaa puoli nba ti ñanba laa dogunni, ban ban suani n po.
8 And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac [begot] Jacob, and Jacob—the twelve patriarchs;
Utienu go den teni Abalahama ku koanciagu ŋantaado. Abalahama mali Isaka ki kuano o madi dan niili daali. Isaka n ma Jakobo ki koani o moko. Jakobo den mali piiga n jabi lie lan n tie tie yajaanba, o den kuani ban moko.
9 and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,
Ti yaajanba den kuadi bi waalo Josefi ke bi gedini o Ejibiti ti yonbidi, kelima bi den pia li nunponli o po.
10 and delivered him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he set him—governor over Egypt and all his house.
Ama Utienu den yee leni o ki den ga o fala buoli kuli nni, O go den puni o miyanfuoma ke cedi ke Ejibiti bado Falono pali den mani o po, ke o den cedi ko tua Ejibiti kuli liiga yua leni wani Falono diegu nni kuli.
11 And there came a scarcity on all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,
Mikoncianma den baa Ejibiti dogu kuli, leni Kanana dogu li den tie falaciamo. baa den pia bonjekaala.
12 and Jacob having heard that there was grain in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;
Jakoabo den gaa laabali ke mijiema den ye Ejibiti lan wani ke o den kpa suani ti yaajanba yenma.
13 and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became disclosed to Pharaoh,
ban guani ki gedi mi ta liema Josefi den doagidi o yuli o kpeliba kani, lani ke Falono moko den bandi wan tie ya nibuolu yua.
14 and Joseph having sent, called for his father Jacob, and all his relatives—with seventy-five souls—
lani Josefi den suani ban wolo o po, o ba leni o diegu nubi kuli. bi kuli cuali den fii nubi piileele.
15 and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,
Jakoabo den jiidi Ejibiti leni ti yaajanba.
16 and they were carried over into Shechem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Shechem.
ban kaa den yee bi den gedini bi kuli Sikema ki ban piiniba naani ke Abalahama den daa leni i ligi Hamola bijabi kani. lan n tie Sikema yaajanba.
17 And according as the time of the promise was drawing near, which God swore to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
utienu nden niani Abalahama ya ŋoanianu nden nagida ki baa ba migbienma ti buolu den maa ki pugida bonciala Ejibiti dogunni.
18 until another king rose, who had not known Joseph;
Li den pundi ya yogunu ke badi toa yua kaa bandi Josefi den dini libali
19 this one, having dealt subtly with our family, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babies, that they might not live;
Laa bado den janbi ti buolu ki den wangi ti yaajanba fala, ki teni ke bi lu bi canpanda leni u paalu ke ban da ya yee.
20 in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and he was brought up [for] three months in the house of his father;
Laa yogunu yo bi den mali Musa. o den ŋani o tienu po. o danba den kubi o deeni ha li ŋmali ta.
21 and he having been set outside, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and reared him to herself for a son;
Ban den luni o ya yogunu Falona bisalo den piidi o ki wubi o nani o bimaadi ga yeni.
22 and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.
bi den cogini o Egibiti yaaba banma leni li yanfuoma kuli, o go den pia u paalu mi maama nni leni a tuonŋama nni.
23 And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came on his heart to look after his brothers, the sons of Israel;
Wan den ba li yankuali ya yogunu ki ba gedi ki ban lee o buolu nuba o den pia bina piina.
24 and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he defended, and did justice to the oppressed, having struck the Egyptian;
Wan den pundi li kani o den sua ke Ejibiti nulo den wangidi fala o buolu nulo yendo, o den ga o koanli ki pua ki kpa Ejibiti yua.
25 and he was supposing his brothers to understand that God gives salvation through his hand; and they did not understand.
O den tamake o kpiiba Isaleelenba yaaba ba bandi ke lenio yaa nu yo, ke Utienu baa faabiba leni fala. ama baa den faami ki bandi.
26 On the succeeding day, also, he showed himself to them as they are striving, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, you are brothers, why do you do injustice to one another?
Laa daali ya fifama, o den laa ke Isaleele yaaba siiga nibi lie ke bi kuani ki pua bi yaba. o den tundi ba ki bua ban mangi, o den yedi ba: i kuli tie buolu yendu bee n teni ke yi wangidi yi lieba fala?
27 And he who is doing injustice to the neighbor, thrusted him away, saying, Who set you a ruler and a judge over us?
Ama yua n den paani o lielo yeni den yedi: ŋme dini ŋa li bali ke ŋan tua ti yudaano leni ti bujialo?
28 Do you wish to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?
A bua ki kpa n moko nani wonli ŋan den kpa Ejibiti yua maama yeni bii?
29 And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons,
Laa maama po, Musa den sani ki gedi ya dogu ke yi Madiana, li po o den mali bonjala lie.
30 and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai [the] Messenger of the LORD, in a flame of fire of a bush,
Bina piina puoli Maleki den doagidi o Sinayi joali fanpienmanni o den la ya fatuugu yaa niini ke mifantama co yeli yeli.
31 and Moses having seen, wondered at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the LORD to him,
Musa n den laa, laa bondoagidi kaala, li den lidini o. wan den nagida ki bua ki diidi bonŋanla, o den gbadi O diedo nialu
32 I [am] the God of your fathers; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses having become terrified, did not dare behold,
N tie a yaajanba tienu Abalahama, Isaka leni Jakoabo tienu. Musa den digibi kaa tuo ki yaadi ki diidi.
33 and the LORD said to him, Loose the sandal of your feet, for the place in which you have stood is holy ground;
O diedo den yedo: pidi a cacaadi kelima ŋan se ya kaanu yeni tie tingagidi kaaga.
34 seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that [is] in Egypt, and I heard their groaning, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send you to Egypt.
N laa n nubi n laadi yaa fala Ejibiti diema nni N go gbadi bi dunli moala n jiidi ki ba faabiba. gedi moala n ba suana Ejibiti.
35 This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who set you a ruler and a judge? This one God sent [as] a ruler and a redeemer, by the hand of [the] Messenger who appeared to him in the bush;
Musa yua ke bi den yie o, ki den tua: ŋme dini ŋa libali ke ŋan tua ti yudaano leni ti bujialo, wane ke o tienu go den suani wan tua bi yudaano leni bi faabi ka leni Maleki yua den doagido ku fatuugu nni yaa todima.
36 this one brought them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years;
Wani go den ñani ba Ejibiti leni mi bancianma leni sinakeene, Ejibiti nni mi ñincianmoama siiga, mi fanpiencianmani hali bina piina.
37 this is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel: The LORD your God will raise up to you a Prophet out of your brothers, like to me, Him will you hear.
wan Musa n go den yedi isaleele bila: Utienu baa ñani i siiga o sawali pualo nani mini.
38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the Messenger who is speaking to him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers who received the living oracles to give to us;
ya yogunu ke isaleele yaaba den taani ku fanpienciagun ni, Musa n den ye leni ba, ki go den gaani utienu Maleko n den maadi o yaala Sinayi juali leni ti yaajanba, o den soangidi ti po yaa maama n tie limiali maama, yaama n ñani Utienu kani.
39 to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but thrusted away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
Ti yaajanba, baa den tuo wan yedi yaala. bi den yie o, ke bi yantiana leni bi paala go den jigidi ki nuanli Ejibiti po.
40 saying to Aaron, Make to us gods who will go on before us, for this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what has happened to him.
Bi den yedi Alono: duadi ti po i buli, ya buli n baa cuoni ti liiga; kelima Musa yua n ñani ti Ejibiti dogu yeni, tii bani yaali n tieno.
41 And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands,
bi den duadi laa dana nni bulo ke naanini ki naabiga. ki paadi li padili o po, ki mangidi bi pala leni ban fidi ki suani yaa tuonli leni bi nii.
42 and God turned, and gave them up to do service to the host of Heaven, according as it has been written in the scroll of the Prophets: Did you offer slain beasts and sacrifices to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Lan wan Utienu den ŋaaba ki cedi ke bi kpiagidi tanpoli ŋabili, nani lan diani bi sawalipuaba tili n ni maama: naani yi den padi n po ti yandi, yaa yogunu ke n den ye leni yi bina biina mi fanpiencianma n ni bii? yinba isaleele ba yaaba.
43 And you took up the dwelling place of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan—the figures that you made to worship them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon.
Yi den tugi ya bulo n yi Moloko gbandieli, leni ya bulo n yi Lefana ŋmabiliga. laa bon naani kala kuli yi den tieni ki ba ya kpiagidi. lan yaa po yo, ke n cedi ke yi gedi ti yonbidi hali Babilona diema yaa kandima.
44 The Dwelling Place of the Testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He directed, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen;
Ti yaajanba den pia siedi gbandieli mi fanpiencianma n ni. nani Utienu n den puogi Musa wan tieni maama. Musa den tieni nani Utienu n den cili wani o ya nananli.
45 which also our fathers having in succession received, brought in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God drove out from the presence of our fathers, until the days of David,
Lan ya puoli, Josue den gobidi ti yaajanba ke bi den kuani laa siedi gbandieli ya diema ya niini ke Utienu den teli yaa nubi n den cili ki kaa likani. bi den kali laa dogu n ni ki ban pundi hali Dafidi yogunu.
46 who found favor before God, and requested to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob;
Dafidi den ba Utienu ŋanbili, ke o den mia Otienu ki bua ki maa Jakoabo Tienu po ku diegu.
47 and Solomon built Him a house.
Ama, Salomo n den maa ku diegu.
48 But the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, according as the prophet says:
Ki naa ña tanpoli joma Tienu ki ye bi nisaaliba n ma ya diegu ya niini, nani nani o sawali pualo n yedi maama.
49 Heaven [is] My throne, And the earth My footstool, What house will you build to Me? Says the LORD; Or what [is] the place of My rest?
O diedo yedi: tanpoli tie n bali kali kaanu, ki tinga mo tie n taaŋmakaanu. be ya diebuolu ke yi ba ma, n po? bi lee n tua n po fuodi kaanu?
50 Has My hand not made all these things?
Naani n yaa nu cele kaa tagi lan kuli?
51 You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers—also you;
Tupaalu danba ne; ya nusaala kaa tuo ki lebidi bi pala ke bi tuba go juagi, yi yaajanba n den tie maama yi moko tie yene kelima yi yiedi yogunu kuli Utienu fuomi yua.
52 which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers,
O lee sawapuale ke yi yaajanba ki waani o fala? bi den ku yaabi n den tuodi waani O tegini ka cuama. moala ke yi janbi o ki teni ke bi kpao. lani n bundi ke yi den tua nikpanla.
53 who received the Law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep [it].”
Yi den ba Utienu balimaama yaama ke Malekinba den suagini yi po. ama yii tuo ki kubima.
54 And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and gnashed the teeth at him;
Ban den gbadi Etiena n maadibi maama, bi pala den beni hali boncianla, ke bi cegini bi ñina o po.
55 and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked steadfastly to the sky, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Ama Etiena den gbie leni Otienu fuomi yua. o den yaadi ki nuanla tanpoli po ki la Otienu kpiagidi ke Jesu se Utienu najienu.
56 and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.”
O den yedi: diidi mani, n nua ke ke tanpoli luodi ke O joa bijoa se Utienu najienu.
57 And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and rushed with one accord on him,
Bi tangi boncianla ki biindi bi tuba, ki taani ki libi o li kani.
58 and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning [him]—and the witnesses put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul—
Bi den fuli o, ki ñani o u dogu n ni ki ban madi o a tana. siediba den landi bi tiadi ki biliti ya jawalo yaa kani ke den yi o Polo.
59 and they were stoning Stephen, [as he was] calling and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit”;
Ban den madi o tana ya yogunu, Etiena den jani ki yedi: O diodo Jesu, ŋan ga n naano.
60 and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, “LORD, may You not lay to them this sin”; and having said this, he fell asleep.
Lan ya puoli, o den gbaani o duna po ki tiani yenma ki yedi: O diedo, ŋan pa ba laa tuonbiadi sugili. laa maama puoli o den gbindi.
