Acts 7
1 And the chief priest said, “Are then these things so?”
Omugabhisi omukuru naika, “amagambo ganu ni ge chimari?”
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,
Stephano naika, “Bhaili na bhalata bhani, muntegereshe anye: Nyamuanga wa rikusho amusoromokeye lata weswe Abrahamu omwanya gunu aliga ali Mesopotamia, anu aliga achali kwikara Harani,
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.
'namubhwira, 'Soka mu chalo chao no luganda lwao ugende mu chalo chinu nilakwelesha'.
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,
Eile nasoka mu chalo Bhukaldayo nekala Harani, okusoka ao, anu esemwene ejile afwa, Nyamuanga namuleta mu chalo chinu, bhekayemo wori.
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.
Atamuyanile chone chone kuti mugabho gwaye, litabheyeo ebhara ryo kutulao nolwo kuguru. Nawe Abrahamu namuraga omurago gwo kumuyana okuitunga insi anu aliga achali kwibhula omwana ati kayabhwa omwene no rwibhulo lwaye.
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.
Nyamuanga aikile nage kutya, ati orwibhulo lwaye abhekara munsi yo bhugenyi, na lindi abhekasi bhendeyo abhabhakora kubha bhagaya bhebhwe no kubhakorera kubhibhi mu masinja ge myaka magana gana.
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.
Ka Nyamuanga naika ati, eniliramura liyanga linu elibhakora bhagaya, okusokerera ao abhamba okundamya mwi bhara linu.
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;
Namuyana Abrahamu liragano lyo okusalwa, ku lwejo Abrahamu nabha lata wa Isaka namusala ku rusiku lwa munana; Isaka nabha lata wa Yakobo, na Yakobo nabha lata wa bhasaja bheswe ekumi na bhabhili.
9 and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,
Bhasaja bheswe nibhamukorera lifua Yusufu mbamugusha mu chalo cha Misiri, na Nyamuanga aliga ali amwi nage,
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.
namukisha mu nyako jaye, namuyana obhwekisi no bhwengeso imbele ya Farao omukama wa Misiri. Farao namukora kubha mutungi inguru ya Misiri na inguru ya inyumba yae yone.
11 And there came a scarcity on all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,
Mbe nibhao injara nene na jinyako nyafu mu chalo cha Misiri na Kanani, mbe bhalata bheswe bhatabhwene ebhiryo.
12 and Jacob having heard that there was grain in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;
Mbe nawe Yakobo ejile ongwa ati bhiliyo ebhiryo Misiri, nabharagirira bhalata bheswe ku lwo kwamba.
13 and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became disclosed to Pharaoh,
Mu rugendo lwa kabhili Yusufu neyeresha ku bhaili bhaye, imbaga ya Yusufu nimenyekana ku Farao.
14 and Joseph having sent, called for his father Jacob, and all his relatives—with seventy-five souls—
Yusufu nabharagirira abhaili bhaye bhagende okumubhwira Yakobo lata webhwe agende Misiri, amwi no ruganda lwaye, obhukumi bhwebhwe abhanu makumi musanju ne tanu.
15 and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,
Ku lwejo Yakobo neka Misiri; neya nafwa omwene amwi na bhalata bheswe.
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.
Nibhagegwa okugenda Shekemu mbasikwa mu chituro echo Abrahamu agulile ne bhibhara bhya jimpirya okusoka ku bhana bha Hamori eyo Shekemu.
17 And according as the time of the promise was drawing near, which God swore to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
Akatungu kaliya ako omurago ogwo Nyamuanga alagire Abrahamu gwejire gwerira, abhanu bhaliga bheyongesishe eyo Misiri,
18 until another king rose, who had not known Joseph;
akatungu ako emukireyo omukama undi inguru ya Misiri, omukama unu atamumenyaga Yusufu.
19 this one, having dealt subtly with our family, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babies, that they might not live;
Omukama oundi oyo nabhajiga abhanu bheswe no kubhakorera amabhibhi bhalata bheswe, no kubhesa abhana bhebhwe abharera korereki bhatabha bhaanga.
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;
Mu masinja ago Musa ebhuywe; aliga ali we kisi ku Nyamuanga, nalelwa mesi gasatu munyumba ya lata waye.
21 and he having been set outside, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and reared him to herself for a son;
Mu katungu kanu eselwe, omuyansha wa Farao namugega namulela lwo mwana waye.
22 and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.
Musa eigisibhwe ameigisho gone ge chi Misiri; aliga ali na managa mu kwaika ne bhikorwa.
23 And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came on his heart to look after his brothers, the sons of Israel;
Mbe nawe ejile akumisha myaka makumi gana, nongwa mu mwoyo gwaye okubhalibhatira abhaili bhaye, abhana bha Israeli.
24 and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he defended, and did justice to the oppressed, having struck the Egyptian;
Ejire amurora omwisraeli nakorerwa amabhibhi, Musa namwimako nasubhya risungu kuyo aliga namwibhonera kwo kumubhuma Omumisiri:
25 and he was supposing his brothers to understand that God gives salvation through his hand; and they did not understand.
neganirisha ati abhaili bhaye abhamenya ati Nyamuanga kabhakisha no kubhoko kwaye, mbe nawe bhatamenyere.
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?
Orusiku runu lwarubhire nagenda ku bhamwi bha Bhaisraeli bhanu bhaliga nibharwana; naregeja okubhagwatanya; naika ati, 'Bhamura, Emwe muri bhaili; kubhaki omurwana emwe bhenera kwa bhene?'
27 And he who is doing injustice to the neighbor, thrusted him away, saying, Who set you a ruler and a judge over us?
Mbe nawe unu amukaiye omwikashanya waye m/namusindika kura, naika ati, “Niga unu akukorere kubha mutungi no muramusi weswe?
28 Do you wish to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?
Awe owenda okunyita, lwa kutyo wameta Omumisiri ligoro?”
29 And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons,
Musa nabhirima ejile ongwa kutyo; nabha mugenyi munsi ya Midiani, ao abheye lata wa bhana bhabhili.
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,
Jejire jaturao myaka makumi gana, malaika namusoromokera mwi bhara lye chima cha Sinai, mwi bhesi lyo muriro agati ya lisaka.
31 and Moses having seen, wondered at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the LORD to him,
Mu katungu kanu Musa ejire arora omuriro, narugura muno no kutang'ang'ara kulwe bhiroro ebhyo alorere, mbe nawe ejire alegeja okwirira yei korereki arore, obhuraka bhwa Katabhugenyi nibhumujako nibhwaika ati,
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,
'Anye nanye Nyamuanga wa bhesomwana bhao, Nyamuanga wa Abrahamu, no wa Isaka, no wa Yakobo.' Musa nayarara atasubhire kurorayo.
33 and the LORD said to him, Loose the sandal of your feet, for the place in which you have stood is holy ground;
Latabhugenyi namubhwira, 'Nufure ebhirato bhyao, libhara linu wimereguyu ni bhara lyeru.
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.
Nalorere jinyako ja bhanu bhani bhanu Misiri; enungwa okulwara kwebhwe, anye neka korereki nibhakishe; olyanu ija, nikutume awe Misiri.'
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 unu bhamuremere, omwanya gunu bhaikile ati, 'niga unu akukorere kubha mutungi no muramusi weswe?' Oyo niwe oyo Nyamuanga amutumire kwo kubhoko kwa malaika oyo amusoromokee Musa mwisaka.
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;
Musa abhatangasishe okusoka Misiri anu akorere amarebha ne bhibharikisho mu charo cha Misiri na munyanja ya Shamu, na mwibhara kwa masinja ga myaka makumi gana.
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.
Musa unu niwe abhabhwiriye abhana bha Israeli ati, 'Nyamuanga keja okwimusha omuragi okusoka mubhamwi bha bhaili bhanyu, omuragi lwanye.'
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;
Unu niwe omunu unu aliga ali mwikofyanya lya mwibhara na malaika unu aromere nage mu chima cha Sinai. Unu niwe omunu oyo aliga ali na bhalata bheswe, unu ni munu unu aramiye omusango gunu guri muanga no kuchiyana eswe.
39 to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but thrusted away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
Unu niwe omunu unu bhalata bheswe bharemere okumungwa; nibhamusindikira kura, na mumyoyo jebhwe nibhaindukira Misiri.
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.
Mu masinja ago nibhamubhwira Haruni, 'nuchikonjere ebhiungu bhinu bhilachitangasha. Musa oyo, aliga nachitangasha okusoka mu charo cha Misiri, chitakumenya jinu jamubhona.'
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,
Kutyo nibhakonja inana mu nsiku ejo na nibhasosha jisadaka ku chisusano echo nibhakondelwa kwo kubha ni milimu ja mabhoko gebhwe.
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?
Mbe nawe Nyamuanga abhainduye nabhayana bharamye jinyota ja murwire, lwa kutyo jandikilwe mu chitabho cha bharagi, 'Angu mwansosisishe anye jisadaka ja jintyanyi jinu mwabhagire mwi bhara mu masinja ge myaka makumi gana, inyumba ya Israeli?
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.
Mwekirisishe liyema lya Moleki na inyota ya mungu refani, ebhisusano bhinu mwekonjee no kubhiramya ebhyo: mbe nawe enija obhasira arera kura Babeli.'
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;
Bhalata bheswe bhaliga bhali na liyema lyo kwikofyanyisha lwo bhubhambasi mwi bhara, lwa kutyo Nyamuanga aragirie anu aromere na Musa, ati akakonjere lwe chijejekanyo chinu alorere.
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,
Linu ni yema linu bhalata bheswe, kwa masinja gebhwe, bhaleterwe mu charo na Joshua. Jinu jabhonekere mwisinja linu bhengiye okutunga liyanga linu Nyamuanga abhirimishe anu bhaliga bhachali kubhao bhalata bheswe. Jinu jabhee kutyo kukinga mu nsiku ja Daudi,
46 who found favor before God, and requested to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob;
unu abhwene okwikirisibhwa mu meso ga Nyamuanga, nasabhwa okuyenja obhwikaro ku Nyamuanga wa Yakobo.
47 and Solomon built Him a house.
Mbe nawe Selemani amumbakiye inyumba ya Nyamuanga.
48 But the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, according as the prophet says:
Nolwo kutiyo unu ali inguru atakwikara mu nyumba jinu jumbakilwe na mabhoko; inu ni kutyo omuragi aikire,
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?
Orwire ni chitebhe chani cho bhukama, na insi ni bhara lyo kutako amaguru gani. Inyumba nisusana kutiki inu omunyumbakira? Kaika Omukama: amwi ni bharaki lyani lyo kwisishako omwoyo?
50 Has My hand not made all these things?
Kutari kubhoko kwani kunu kukorere ebhinu bhinu bhyona?
51 You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers—also you;
Emwe abhanu bhe bhicha bhikomeye bhanu mutatenderwe emyoyo na matwi, bhuli katungu omumurema Omwoyo Omweru, omukora lwa kutyo bhesomwana bhakorere.
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,
Ni muragiki mu bharagi unu bhesomwana bhatamunyasishe? Bhabhetire abharagi bhone bhanu bhejire anu aliga achali kwija owo bhulengeresi, ka wolyanu mwabheye bharomesi bha niku na bheti bhaye,
53 who received the Law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep [it].”
emwe abhanu bhanu mwaramiye echiragiro chiliya charagiriwe na malaika mbe nawe murema okuchigwata.
54 And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and gnashed the teeth at him;
Anu abhe chinyanjo bhejire bhongwa amagambo ganu, nibharumwa mu myoyo jebhwe, nibhamugugunila ameno Stefano.
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,
Mbe nawe omwene ejuye Omwoyo Omweru, nararamira mu rwire nekeneke narora rikusho lya Nyamuanga, namurora Yesu emereguyu mu kubhoko kwo bhuryo kwa Nyamuanga.
56 and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.”
Stefano naika ati, “Rora narora orwire rwigukire, no Mwana wo Munu emereguyu mu kubhoko kwe bhuryo kwa Nyamuanga.”
57 And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and rushed with one accord on him,
Mbe nawe abhe chinyanjo nibhayogana no bhuraka bhwa inguru, nibhasibhya amatwi gebhwe, nibhamubhirimira bhona amwi,
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—
nibhamwesa anja yo musi nibhamubhuma na mabhwiyi: abharoresi nibhafura emyenda jebhwe ja anja nibhatura mu maguru go musigaji oyo abhirikirwaga Sauli.
59 and they were stoning Stephen, [as he was] calling and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit”;
Anu bhaliga nibhamubhuma amabhwiyi Stefano, agendeleye okumubhirikira Omukama naika ati, “Omukama Yesu, ramira omwoyo gwani.”
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.
Nafung'ama ebhiju no kubhirikira kwo bhuraka bhunene, “Omukama, utabhabharira echibhibhi chinu.” Ejile aika kutyo, nabhutura omwoyo.
