Acts 7
1 And the chief priest said, “Are then these things so?”
Ugosi we shibhanza waga,”ezi enongwa zye lyoli”?
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,
U Stefano wagamula waga, “Bhaholo bhane na bhaise bhane ntejelezi zyeyanga: Ungulubhi yabhunishie uise wetu u Ibulahimu nahali hu Mesopotamia, sasele asamile ensi ene eye hu 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.
Ungulubhi ahabhuula ahagu epa awe munsi ene usame ubhale hunsi yembahulanje'.
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,
Wasogola wasama hunsi ya Hukardayo wakhala hu Harani, afume epo, uise wakwe nawafwiwa, Ungulubhi waleta munsi ene yabhakhala eshi.
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.
Sigapiya nahamo ahagale, siga alinapo ata pibhishe eshinama. Lelo Ungulubhi alaginye u Ibulahimu sasele apate umwana huje aipelwa ensi ene aje aiigala nabhana bhakwe.
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.
Ungulubhi ayanjile nawo eshi abhana bhaho hunsi eyeshijinyi na akhaya bhaibhabhiha bhaboyi bhabho(bhafubhilwa) nantele bhaibhabhomba embibhi humahaemia zine 400.
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.
Ungulubhi ahaga naibhalonga abhantu bhabhaibhabhombela embibhi abhe ensi eyo, abhantu bhane naibhagalusya bhayenza ampuute ane munsi ene.'
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;
Wapela uIbulahimu ilagano lye tohara, u Ibulahimu wabha ise wa Isaka watahiri isiku elya nane; u Isaka wabha ise wa Yakobo, uYakobo wabha yise wa yise bhetu ilongo na bhabhili.
9 and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,
Aise bhetu bhalolela ukero(umwone) uYusufu bhakazya hu Misri, Ungulubhi ali pandwimo nawo,
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.
ungulubhi aponizye na malabha gonti, Ungulubhi wapela ineema, ne hekima hwa Farao, uFarao wabhiha aje abhe gosi munsi yonti na munyumba yakwe.
11 And there came a scarcity on all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,
Enzala ihagwiye hunsi yonti eya hu Misri ba hu Kanani, abhantu bhapiite amalabha sana abhaise bhetu sebhali neshalye.
12 and Jacob having heard that there was grain in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;
U Yakobo nawumvwa huje hu Misri, hulineshalye, abhatumile aise bhetu ulwahwande.
13 and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became disclosed to Pharaoh,
Nabhabhalile ulwabhili uYusufu ahwibhonisizya hwa holo bhake aholo bha Yusufu bhamanyiha hwa Farao.
14 and Joseph having sent, called for his father Jacob, and all his relatives—with seventy-five souls—
O Yusufu wabhatuma aholo bhakwe bhabhale humweje uise wabho na bhanji bhakhalaga nabho bhonti bhaali amalongo saba na bhasanu 75.
15 and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,
U Yakobo wiha hunsi ya hu Misri, umwene wafwa naise bhetu bonti.
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.
Bhabhega mpaka hushekemu bhasyelwa munkungwa yakalile uIburahimu ne hela hwa bhana bha Hamori hula hu 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,
Ululagano lula Ungulubhi lwalaginne nu Ibulahimu na lwapalamila, abhantu nabhonjelela uwinji hula hu Misri,
18 until another king rose, who had not known Joseph;
aheenza umfumu uwamwabho hu Misri, abhasuliha abhantu aje bhabhavitwe abha Israeli, nabude abhaana adodo aje bhasahonjelele apapane.
19 this one, having dealt subtly with our family, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babies, that they might not live;
Umfumu uyo abhakhopela abhantu nabhasulishe, bhabhabhombile embibhi aise bhetu nataje abhana bhabho aje bhasahabhe bhoomi.
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;
Ulwo uMusa aapepwe; ali mwinza hwa Ngulubhi, walelwa amezi gatatu muntumba ya ise.
21 and he having been set outside, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and reared him to herself for a son;
Unyina watabhila ahatundu wazyema ne lami wabhala wataga umwale wa Farao wabhala watola walela neshi unyina.
22 and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.
U Musa wafundiziwa enfunizyo zyonti ezyeshi Misri; ali nikhone munongwa na bhombe.
23 And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came on his heart to look after his brothers, the sons of Israel;
Nawafisya amaha amalongo gane, wasiibha humwoyo aje ashuule hwa holo bhakwe abhana bha Israeli.
24 and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he defended, and did justice to the oppressed, having struck the Egyptian;
Walola uholo wakwe abhone lwa nu Mmisri watanjila wakhoma ula Umsri wabuda:
25 and he was supposing his brothers to understand that God gives salvation through his hand; and they did not understand.
umwene asibhile huje aholo bhakwe bhabhaje ayinzele atokole Ungulubhi atumile fwanii aholo bhakwe sebhasibhile isho.
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?
Isiku ilya mwabho wabhaga abha Israeli bhalwa bheene; walenga abhamulanye waga amwe mulibhaholo yeenu mulwa mubhene?
27 And he who is doing injustice to the neighbor, thrusted him away, saying, Who set you a ruler and a judge over us?
Ulayalwanga nuwamwabho wabunshila hula wabhuula waga wenu yabhishile awe aje ubhe tanzanyi wetu?
28 Do you wish to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?
Uhwanzaje ungoje neshi uhagojile Ummisri ula igamo?”
29 And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons,
U Musa washimbila ahwumvwe isho; wabhala hu Midiani, uhwo wabha yise 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,
Amaha amalongo gane nagashila, umalaika ahajendela hwijangwa mwatatango hahahaga umwoto.
31 and Moses having seen, wondered at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the LORD to him,
U Musa ahaswiga ajawalola atatango hahwaha umwoto, lelo sehalungulila, nawalinga ahazubhilile, wumvwa izu liyanga,
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,
'Ane ne Ngulubhi wa yise bhaho, uIbulahimu, nu Isaka, nu Yakobo'. U Musa wogopa nayinje se hwenye.
33 and the LORD said to him, Loose the sandal of your feet, for the place in which you have stood is holy ground;
Ungulubhi wabhuula waga satula evilato vyaho, puyimiliye epa nsintuntumu.
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.
Engalolile amalabha gabhantu bhane na mayemba gabhali nago hu Misri; Ane enishile abhavwe; eshi enza etume, ubhale hu Misri.'
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;
Unu uMusa yabhakhine yabhajile wenu yabhishile awe ubhe gamulanyi wetu?'- Ungulubhi yatumile abhookole afumiye mumwoto atatango nahahahaga.
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;
U Musa abhalongozizye afume hu Misri ashilile hwijangwa Ungulubhi abhombile amambo minji agaswijizye hu Misri ashilile hwa Musa bhalobhoshe ebahari abhalongozizye humaha amalongo nane'.
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.
Yu Musa yunu yabhabhuulile abhantu huje Ungulubhi aibhaletela ukuwe yali neshane afume hulimwe'.
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 muntu yaali hubhungano, hula hwijangwa nu malaika yayanjile nawo hwigamba lya Sinai. Unu yayula yaali na ise bhetu, unu yayula ahe eleye izu elyomi natipele ate.
39 to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but thrusted away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
Unu yayula aise bhetu bhahakhanile, bhabunshiye uhutali na humoyo gabho bhagalushe hu Misri.
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.
Eshipindi esho bhahabhuula u Haruni.'bhahaga tilenganyizye ungulubhi(mangulubhi) atilongozye uMusa manyi zyazimwajile uhwo.
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,
Bhagomba(bhalinganya) endama hunsiku izyo bhafumyia ne sadaka hundama bhaisungwa embombo ye makhono gabho.
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?
Ungulubhi ahavitwa ahabhaleha bhapuute entondwe sazyasimbilwe eshakuwe aje mwamfumizizye ane esadaka ezyevyuma hwijangwa humaha amalongo gane amwe bha 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.
Muyetesha ihema elyatanganile elya Moleki ne ntondwa ya Ungulubhi refani, ne shifwani shamulingenye na puute hwa bhene: eshi embabhabhenje embabhatwale ohutali ashile hu 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;
Aise bhetu bhaali ni hema elyatanganile, Ungulubhi shayanjile nu Musa huje alenganye neshi lila shalilolile.
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,
Eli lihema aise bhetu, ojoshwa pabhaletaga ensi ene Ungulubhi pabhabhenjele akhaya aise bhetu sabhasile ahwinze ensi ene ezi zya esho mpaka ensiku ezya Daudi,
46 who found favor before God, and requested to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob;
umwene ahetehwe nu Ngulubhi,' na alabhile ahwanze ukkhalo hwa Ngulubhi wa Yakobo.
47 and Solomon built Him a house.
Lelo u Sulemani azenjeye Ungulubhi enyumba.
48 But the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, according as the prophet says:
Eshi umwene Ungulubhi sigaakha munyumba zyazizengwilwe namakhono neshi ukuwezya yanjile,
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?
Emwanya litengo lyane elye ufumu na ensi pabhishe amanama gane. Mubhanzenjele nyumba wili?, ayanga Ungulubhi: na apatuye ane paposhi?'
50 Has My hand not made all these things?
Ukhono gwane segwagwogu gwabhombile ezi zyonti?'
51 You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers—also you;
Amwe mubhensingo ehome mwasigamtahiliwe amoyo na makutu, mwamuhupinga Umpepo Ufinjile,' mubhomba neshi shabhabhombaga aise benyu.
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,
Kuwe wili hwa kuwe bhonti aise bhenyu bhasiga bhabhatesile? Bhabhabudile akuwe bhonti bhabhakuwaga ahwenze hwa ula Umuntu Umwinza,'neshi mulumenye na hubude,
53 who received the Law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep [it].”
amwe mwamwaposhiye esheria ela yamwalajiziwe nantele semwahanzaga aikhate.”
54 And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and gnashed the teeth at him;
Ajumbe nabhonvwa enongwa ezyo zyabhavwalazya humwoyo bhamwenya eshibhibhi e 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,
Lelo umwene, uStefano abhe amemile Umpepo Ufinjile wenya amaso gakwe humwanya waulola utuntumu wa Ngulubhi,' nu Yesu akhiye hukhono ulilo gwa Ngulubhi.
56 and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.”
U Stefano waga, “Enzilola emwanya zigushe nu Yesu ayimiliye hukhono ulilo gwa Ngulubhi.”
57 And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and rushed with one accord on him,
Lelo abhantu abhi baraza bhabwaga ibwago, igosi bhadinda amakutu gabho bhashimbilila bhakhata,
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—
bhapanya hwunzi ye khaya bhakhoma na mawe” naketi bhasatula amenda gabho bhabhiha pamanama gasahala umo itawa yu Sauli.
59 and they were stoning Stephen, [as he was] calling and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit”;
Nabhahwendelela ahupuule na mawe umwene wenya amaso gakwe humwanya waga Yesu, ejelela eroho yane,'.
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.
Wafugamila wakwizya hwizu igosi waga gosi wane Yesu usabhabhazizye embibhi ezi zyabhabhomba. “Nawayanga isho wapuma wafwa.
