Acts 7
1 And the chief priest said, “Are then these things so?”
Romwah phokhothoon ah ih Stephen suh chengta, “Amiisak nih angkah?”
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,
Stephen ih ngaak baatta, “Ngaaphoh ngaawah loong nga jeng ah boichaat an! Sengte sengwah Abraham Haraan hah ni maang song kah kaadi, Mesopotomia hah ni
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.
Rangte dongkhoom kah ano baatta, ‘An hadaang nyia an jaatang ah thiinhaat uno ngah ih marah hah doh kaat baat ha erah doh kah uh.’
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,
Erah raangtaan Abraham ih heh hadaang ah thiinhaat ano Haraan hah ni song kata. Heh wah tek lidi, Rangte ih sen amadi song lan hah adi kaat thuk taha.
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.
Rangte ih Abraham suh arah an hah ngeh ih baatkot muh, amasah chepsiit taan uh kotmuh, enoothong Rangte ih Abraham suh kot eha ngeh ih ba kakhamta adoleh ansuh ansah lakbui ang ah ngeh ih thoomhoon kakhat ah ba hoon eta, erah kakham ah Abraham heh sah maang jeeka tokdi hoonta.
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.
Rangte ih Abraham suh baatta: ‘An sutoom satoom loong ah minok mihah nah song rum ah, erah doh neng loong ah chaabaji paang raangtaan ih dah ih siiwi rum ah.
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.
Enoothong an sutoom satoom loong ih soomtu rum ah mina loong ah ngah ih dande kah rum ang, erah lidoh erah hah dowa doksoon rum ano arah hah adoh ngaak song rum haano nga somtu rum hang.’
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;
Eno Abraham damdi thoomhoon kakhat thiinta ngeh ih jat suh Rangte ih heh khoopkhan banlam ah hoonthuk rumta. Erah thoidi Esak ah tup ano saasinat lidi heh khoopkhan ano men hoonta; Esak ih heh sah Jaakob khoopkhanta, eno Jaakob ih heh sah asih wanyi ah khoopkhan banlam hoonta.
9 and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,
“Jaakob sah loong ih neng no Josep ah miksuh ih rum ano Ijip hah ni dah raangtaan ih sang rumta. Enoothong Rangte ah heh damdam eta,
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.
erah thoidi Josep ah mathan laang chamta bah uh Rangte ih puipang eta. Ijip Luuwang damdi Josep chomuita di, Rangte ih Josep suh mih tenroon thuk theng nyia mongtham ese ah kota, eno erah hadaang adi Luuwang ih Josep ah kobono nyia henok hetap jaatrep sokboite ang thukta.
11 And there came a scarcity on all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,
Erah lidi, Ijip nyia Kanaan hah noongrep ni ram ang ano rapne ih cham rumta. Sengte sengwah loong ih phak asat ju choh jam muh,
12 and Jacob having heard that there was grain in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;
eno Jaakob ih Ijip hah ni ji acham eje ngeh ih japchaat ano, sengte sengwah, heh sah loong ah phangkaat thukta.
13 and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became disclosed to Pharaoh,
Dopnyi kah rum adi, Josep ih hephoh loong suh heh teewah tiit ah jatthuk rumta, eno Ijip Luuwang ih uh Josep jaatang tiit ah jat eta.
14 and Joseph having sent, called for his father Jacob, and all his relatives—with seventy-five souls—
Josep ih heh wah suh maatbaatta, neng jaatang rooksinet wabangnga ah loongtang Ijip hah nah kaat theng ngeh ah.
15 and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,
Jaakob nyia heh sah loongtang Ijip hah ni song karum ano erah ni matti karumta.
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.
Neng mang ah Sekem hah ni huikaat ano, Abraham ih Haamor jaatang jiin nawa ngun ih reta di bengkaat rumta.
17 And according as the time of the promise was drawing near, which God swore to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
“Rangte ih Abraham damdi thoomhoon kakhatta saapoot ah chang kano, Ijip hah ni seng mina hasong ah jaat eti.
18 until another king rose, who had not known Joseph;
Erah lih adi, Josep men lajatte mih Ijip Luuwang we angta.
19 this one, having dealt subtly with our family, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babies, that they might not live;
Eno Luuwang ah sengte sengwah loong damdi rapne ih thikhah ano, neng sah khobaang loong ah tektoom ih ah ngeh ih li ano, thoikatkat ih neng nok nawa ehoh ni tum thiin thuk rumta.
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;
Erah tokdi, Moses ah jaaseemoong sah ih dongtupta. Moses ah nok ni laajom sokboita,
21 and he having been set outside, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and reared him to herself for a son;
eno heh nok nawa thiinhaat kaat kano, wangcha nah rah ih heh raangtaan suh hakpanta.
22 and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.
Moses suh Ijip nok hah tiit jirep ah nyootsoot kano jatwah jeewah eh hoonta.
23 And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came on his heart to look after his brothers, the sons of Israel;
“Moses paang rookbaji ang ano, hejaat hepaat ah mamah ih siiwi rumta erah ah jat suh ngeh ih jam thoithakta.
24 and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he defended, and did justice to the oppressed, having struck the Egyptian;
Heh mina wasiit Ijip mih ih siiwi ah japtup ano, Moses ih erah mih ah etek haat eta. (
25 and he was supposing his brothers to understand that God gives salvation through his hand; and they did not understand.
Moses ih thunta, heh mina loong ah ih baata jatrum hangnih, ngah Rangte ih neng doksiit suh daapkaat halang ngeh ah, eno heh mina loong ah ih tajat rumta).
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?
Erah saalih adi Ijirel nok hah wanyi botmui arah japtup ano paakpang damdi taat renbaat nyuuta. ‘Boichaat thaak ansih,’ jaaroh nyi, ‘set Ijirel mina tanih ang kansih; tiimte botmui lansih?’
27 And he who is doing injustice to the neighbor, thrusted him away, saying, Who set you a ruler and a judge over us?
Eno o ih wasiit ah siiwiita erah mih ah ih Moses ah haangko pitthengta. ‘Sek laktung nah an ih dande theng ngeh ih o ih poon halu?’
28 Do you wish to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?
‘Miinnyah Ijip nok hah tekbuh tang ah likhiik tekbuh ang ngeh ih nih li halang?’
29 And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons,
Moses ih erah jeng ah japchaat ano, Ijip hah nawa Midian hah ni soonkah ano moong songtong kata. Erah ni heh sah miwasah wanyi tupta.
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,
“Paang rookbaji lini, Moses ngathong ni Rangte kaamwah ah Sinai Kong ni phisaang hah ni weelu damdi dongjengta.
31 and Moses having seen, wondered at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the LORD to him,
Erah japtup ano, Moses ah rapne ih paatjaata, eno rapniine ih sok suh weeluuta adi tiitkhoom kata. Eno Teesu jengta ah japchaatta;
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,
‘Ngah ante anwah Rangte, Abraham Rangte, Esak nyia Jaakob Rangte.’ Moses ih lanaan sok thang ih mochoota.
33 and the LORD said to him, Loose the sandal of your feet, for the place in which you have stood is holy ground;
Teesu ih Moses suh liita, ‘An lasong ah khook haat uh an chaplu ah Esa hah.
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.
Ijip ni nga mina loong rapne ih cham arah japtup hang. Nenghu nengri chaat hang, Ngah neng doksiit puipang suh ra halang. Amadoh raaho; Ngah ih an Ijip hah nah kaat thuk ha.’
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;
“Moses ah Ijirel mina ih thaangju et arah mina angta. ‘Seng pante nyia maat hoonte angtheng ngeh ih o ih thiik halu?’ Miloong ah ih emah kali rumta. Enoothong weeluuta adi Rangte dongjengta, Moses ah noksong pante nyia doksiitte, heh damdoh rangsah roong mokah ah ngeh ah.
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;
Moses ih, Ijip hah ni nyia Juusisaang (Juusih esiit je ah, erah amadi uh erah suh juusih essang ngeh ih menha) adi nyia phisaang hah ni mih paatjaajih loong ah noisok ano heh mina loong ah Ijip hah nawa doksiit dowa.
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.
Moses ih Ijirel noksong suh baatta, ‘Rangte ih, ngah kaat thuk halang ah likhiik khowah kaat thuk ha, eno erah mina ah sen mina dowa ang ah.’
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;
Moses ah Ijirel mina loong damdi phisaang hah ni tum roongtong rumta; sente senwah loong nyia rangsah damdi Sinai Kong ni kah chowaanta, enooleh Rangte khothing jengkhaap ah seng suh toombaat tahe.
39 to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but thrusted away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
“Enoothong sengte sengwah loong ah ih Moses jeng ah taboichaat rumta; heh jeng lalek boichaat thang ih Ijip hah ko we ngaakwang thung ang rumta.
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.
Erah thoidi neng ih Aroon suh li rumta, ‘Seng lamsiitte Rangte hoon kohe. Ijip hah nawa seng doksiitte, Moses bah tajatke tiim ang koja.’
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,
Erah lilih, maan laaphaang tongmih hoon rum ano, roomsoom rumta, erah lih adi neng ih hoonta tongmih phoongpha mendi phaksat ah room phaksah ih rumta.
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?
Erah thoidi neng Rangte ah neng dam dowa doksoon ano rang dowa ritsih nyia rang ni tiimjih jeela erah loong ah soomtu thuk rumta, erah tiit ah khowah loong leedap ni raangthiin choi: ‘Ijirel noksong loong! Phisaang hah ni paang rookbaji angtan adoh luiamaan ah nga soomtu suh tadook tan.
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.
Erah tumhui tan abah, Molek Rangte raangtaan ih angta; adoleh ritsih rangte, Rephan laaphaang raangtaan ih; erah loong abah sen ih soomtu theng tongmih angta. Erah raangtaan ih sen loong ah Bebiloon jiit nah phanhaat kaat rumha.’
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;
“Sengte sengwah loong ih bah phisaang hah ni Rangte waktong theng Nyutaap ah neng damdam ih tumhui rumta. Erah mamah ih hoon theng ah, Rangte ih Moses suh noisokta ah likhiik ih hoon rumta.
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,
Lini, sengte sengwah loong ih neng wah jiin nawa thaangta Nyutaap ah Josua damdi wakkah rumta di neng damdam ih tumhui rumta. Eno Rangte ih mathan deek akaan angta loong ah nengngah nengngah ih tum phanjoh haatta. Erah Nyutaap ah Dewid, Luuwang maang langlang ih erah hadaang adi thok tongta.
46 who found favor before God, and requested to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob;
Rangte ih Dewid suh ese choh kano Dewid ih Jaakob Rangte nok hoon thuk weehang ngeh ih suta.
47 and Solomon built Him a house.
Enoothong erah rangsoomnok ah Solomon Luuwang ih liwang ni thoon tom hoonta.
48 But the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, according as the prophet says:
“Enoothong Echoong thoon ni tongte Rangte ah mina ih hoon hi nok ni tatongta; khowah ih liiha likhiik ah,
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?
‘Rangmong ah nga tongtheng, nyia hah ah nga lah naktheng, Teesu ih liiha, Nga raangtaan ih sen ih tiim nok ma hoon an? Nga tongtheng nok ah mani ah?
50 Has My hand not made all these things?
Arah loong ah nga lak ih tanih hoontang?’
51 You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers—also you;
“Senten senmong ah jong ajaan likhiik mamah angtan!” Stephen ih arah tiit ah jangbaat roh ih kaatta. “Sen thung ah mamah sengseng angtan, Rangte tiitkhaap chaat suh sen na ah mamah sengseng ih baang tan! Seng loong ah sente senwah likhiik; sen ih uh Esa Chiiala ah saarookwet takap kan!
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,
Sente senwah ih khowah lasiiwiite eje nih ah? Teewadi Laksuh kateng ah erak eha ngeh ih Rangte tiit baat kaatte ah uh neng ih tek haatta. Eno sen ih erah mih ah mokwaan anno tek haat han.
53 who received the Law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep [it].”
Rangte hootthe ah rangsah jiin nawa choh thaangte sen loong ah —erabah uh heh jeng ah taboichaat kan!”
54 And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and gnashed the teeth at him;
Ngoongthumte loong ah Stephen jeng ah chaat rum ano, neng pha ah phak ah ih khadah rumta.
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,
Stephen ah Esa Chiiala pan angte angta, rangko toon sokwan adi Rangte chaan aphaan nyia Jisu jaawah ko ih chap arah tupwanta.
56 and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.”
“Sok thaak an!” Stephen ih baat rumta. “Rangmong ah daapchoi tupwan lang, erah di Mina Sah Rangte damdi jaawah ko chap arah tupwan lang!”
57 And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and rushed with one accord on him,
Ngoongthumte loong ah riiraak rum ano neng na ah neng lak ih kepjoh rumta. Miloong ah Stephen taangko ih tuutmui karum ano,
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—
erah samnuthung dowa dokphan haatkaat rumta, eno Jong ih patkaat rumta. Erah tupte haaki loong ah ih neng nyuh nengkhat ah jaaro wasiit Sool ngeh ih angta, reeni thiinhaat rumta.
59 and they were stoning Stephen, [as he was] calling and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit”;
Jong ih patrum ah damdi Stephen ih Teesu men ah poon ano rangsoomta, “Teesu ngaachi ngaala ah thaang hang!”
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.
Stephen ah heh lakuh ni chooktong ano eroongwah ih riihuuta, “Teesu! Neng rangdah ah nak samthun weeuh!” Emah ih jeng ano thaktiita.
