Acts 7
1 The high priest said, "Are these things so?"
Lubni ol aanaanis, “Wanni kun dhugumaa?” jedhee isa gaafate.
2 He said, "Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Yaa obbolootaa fi yaa abbootii, mee na dhagaʼaa! Waaqni ulfinaa, yeroo abbaan keenya Abrahaam Mesophotaamiyaa turetti, utuu inni biyya Kaaraan hin dhaqin isatti mulʼate.
3 and said to him, 'Go out from your land and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.'
Waaqnis, ‘Biyya keetii fi saba kee dhiisiitii gara biyya ani si argisiisuu dhaqi’ jedheen.
4 Then he came out of the land of the Kasdim, and lived in Haran. From there, after his father died, he moved him into this land, where you are now living.
“Innis biyya Kaldootaatii baʼee dhaqee Kaaraan keessa jiraate. Erga abbaan isaa duʼe immoo Waaqni achii isa baasee biyya isin amma keessa jiraattan kanatti isa erge.
5 He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him, when he still had no child.
Taʼus Waaqni dhaala tokko illee, lafa taakkuu tokkittii illee biyya sana keessatti hin kennineef; garuu Waaqni akka Abrahaamii fi sanyii isaa warra isaan booddeetiif biyya sana akkuma qabeenyaatti kennuuf waadaa galeef. Abrahaam yeroo sana ijoollee tokko illee hin qabu ture.
6 But God spoke in this way, 'His descendants will live as strangers in a foreign land, and that they will be slaves and mistreated, for four hundred years.
Waaqni akkana jedhee karaa kanaan isatti dubbate; ‘Sanyiin kee biyya kan isaa hin taʼin keessatti alagaa taʼa; waggaa dhibba afuris ni garboomfama; ni cunqurfamas.’
7 But I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,' said God, 'and after that will they come out, and serve me in this place.'
Waaqni akkana jedhe; ‘Ani garuu saba isaan akkuma garbootaatti tajaajilan sana nan adaba; ergasii immoo isaan biyya sanaa baʼanii lafa kanatti na waaqeffatu.’
8 He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
Waaqnis kakuu dhagna qabaa Abrahaamiif kenne; Abrahaamis abbaa Yisihaaq taʼee guyyaa saddeettaffaatti dhagna isa qabe; Yisihaaqis ergasii abbaa Yaaqoob taʼe; Yaaqoob immoo abbaa abbootii gosoota kudha lamaanii taʼe.
9 "The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt; and God was with him,
“Abbootiin sunis waan Yoosefitti hinaafaniif akka inni biyya Gibxitti garba taʼuuf isa gurguran; Waaqni garuu isa wajjin ture;
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
rakkina isaa hunda keessaa isa baase; Waaqnis fuula Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi duratti ulfinaa fi ogummaa Yoosefiif kenne; Faraʼoonis biyya Gibxii fi mana mootummaa isaa hunda irratti bulchaa isa godhe.
11 Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no food.
“Baruma sana biyya Gibxii fi biyya Kanaʼaan hundatti beelli buʼee rakkina guddaa fide; abbootiin keenyas waan nyaatan tokko illee argachuu hin dandeenye.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
Yaaqoobis akka Gibxi keessa midhaan jiru dhageenyaan yeroo jalqabaatiif abbootii keenya achi erge.
13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
Imala isaanii lammaffaa irrattis Yoosef eenyummaa isaa obboloota isaatti hime; Faraʼoonis waaʼee obboloota Yoosef beeke.
14 Then Joseph sent, and summoned Jacob, his father, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
Yoosefis ergasii nama ergee abbaa isaa Yaaqoobii fi maatii isaa hunda jechuunis walumatti qabaatti nama 75 waamsise.
15 Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, himself and our fathers,
Yaaqoobis Gibxitti gad buʼe; innis, abbootiin keenyas achitti duʼan.
16 and they were brought back to Shechem, and placed in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor in Shechem.
Reeffi isaaniis Sheekemitti geeffamee lafa awwaalaa kan Abrahaam ijoollee Hamoori irraa horii wayiitiin bitee ture sanatti awwaalame.
17 "But as the time of the promise came close which God had made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
“Akkuma yeroon waadaa Waaqni Abrahaamiif gale sun itti raawwatamu dhiʼaachaa dhufeen baayʼinni saba keenyaa Gibxi keessatti akka malee guddate.
18 until 'there arose a different king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.'
Ergasii ‘Mootiin waaʼee Yoosef hin beekin haaraan tokko bulchaa Gibxi taʼe.’
19 The same took advantage of our race, and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to throw out their babies, so that they would not stay alive.
Innis akka malee saba keenya cunqurse; abbootii keenyas akka daaʼimman isaanii dhumaniif akka isaan gad gatan dirqisiise.
20 At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father's house.
“Yeroon Museen dhalates yeruma kana ture; innis fuula Waaqaa duratti miidhagaa ture; jiʼa sadiifis mana abbaa isaatti kunuunfamee guddate.
21 When he was thrown out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.
Yommuu inni alatti gatametti intalli Faraʼoon fudhattee akka ilma isheetti isa guddifatte.
22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
Museen ogummaa warra Gibxi hunda barate; innis dubbii isaatii fi hojii isaatiin jabaa ture.
23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
“Museen yommuu umuriin isaa waggaa 40 guutetti dhaqee obboloota isaa ijoollee Israaʼel ilaaluu murteesse.
24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
Museenis utuu namni Gibxi tokko nama isaanii tokko miidhuu arge. Kanaafis nama isaanii gargaaruu dhaqee namicha Gibxi sana ajjeesuun haaloo baaseef.
25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they did not understand.
Museen waan sabni isaa akka Waaqni karaa isaatiin saba Israaʼel furu hubatu seʼee ture; sabni sun garuu hin hubanne.
26 "The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, 'Men, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?'
Guyyaa itti aanutti immoo utuu namoonni Israaʼel lama wal lolanuu itti dhufee, ‘Jarana, isin obboloota walii ti; yoos maaliif wal miitu ree?’ jedhee walitti araarsuu yaale.
27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
“Namichi hiriyaa isaa miidhaa ture sun garuu Musee achi of irraa darbatee akkana jedhe; ‘Eenyutu nurratti bulchaa fi abbaa murtii si godhe?
28 Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'
Akkuma kaleessa namicha Gibxi ajjeefte sana ana illee ajjeesuu barbaaddaa?’
29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
Museenis waan kana dhageenyaan biyya Midiyaanitti baqatee galtuu taʼee achi jiraate; achittis ilmaan lama dhalche.
30 "When forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
“Erga waggaan afurtamni darbee booddees ergamaan Waaqaa tokko gammoojjii naannoo Tulluu Siinaa keessatti daggala bobaʼu keessaa arraba ibiddaa keessaan Museetti mulʼate.
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came,
Innis waan kana arginaan waan arge sana dinqifate. Yommuu ilaaluuf itti dhiʼaatettis sagalee Gooftaa dhagaʼe.
32 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob.' Moses trembled, and dared not look.
Sagaleen sunis, ‘Ani Waaqa abbootii keetii, Waaqa Abrahaam, kan Yisihaaqii fi kan Yaaqoob’ jedheen. Museenis ni hollate; ilaaluus ni sodaate.
33 The Lord said to him, 'Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
“Gooftaan immoo akkana jedheen; ‘Sababii iddoon ati dhaabatu kun qulqulluu taʼeef kophee kee baafadhu.
34 I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you to Egypt.'
Ani akka sabni koo biyya Gibxi keessatti cunqurfamaa jiru dhugumaan argeera; booʼicha isaaniis dhagaʼee isaan bilisoomsuuf jedhee gad buʼeera; egaa kottu Gibxittin deebisee si ergaatii.’
35 "This Moses, whom they refused, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?'—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
“Namni isaan, ‘Eenyutu bulchaa fi abbaa murtii si godhe?’ jedhanii tuffatan sun Museedhuma kana. Isas Waaqni akka inni bulchaa fi furaa isaanii taʼuuf harka ergamaa Waaqaa kan daggala keessaan isatti mulʼate sanaatiin erge.
36 This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
Innis Gibxi keessatti, galaana diimaa irratti akkasumas waggaa 40 gammoojjii keessatti dinqii fi mallattoo hojjechaa Gibxi keessaa isaan baase.
37 This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, 'God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me.'
“Museen kun isuma saba Israaʼeliitiin, ‘Waaqni sabuma keessan keessaa raajii akka kootii tokko isinii kaasa’ jedhe sanaa dha.
38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received words of life to give to us,
Innis, Ergamaa Waaqaa kan Tulluu Siinaa irratti isatti dubbate sanaa fi abbootii keenya wajjin gammoojjii keessatti waldaa keessa ture; dubbii jiraataas nutti kennuuf fudhate.
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
“Abbootiin keenya garuu isaaf ajajamuu didan; qooda ajajamuu isa tuffatanii garaa isaaniitiinis gara Gibxitti deebiʼan.
40 saying to Aaron, 'Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'
Arooniinis, ‘Waaqota nu dura deeman nuu tolchi; Museen Gibxii nu baase sun maal akka taʼe hin beeknuutii!’ jedhan.
41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
Yeroon isaan Waaqa tolfamaa bifa jabbiitiin qopheeffatanis baruma sana; isaanis Waaqa sanaaf aarsaa dhiʼeessanii waanuma harka isaaniitiin tolfame sanaaf ayyaana ulfinaa ayyaaneffatan.
42 But God turned, and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets, 'Did you offer to me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Waaqni garuu isaan irraa garagalee akka isaan humnoota samii irraa waaqeffataniif isaan dhiise. Kunis waan kitaaba raajotaa keessatti barreeffame sanaan wal fakkaata; innis akkana jedha; “‘Yaa mana Israaʼel isin waggaa afurtama gammoojjii keessatti takkumaa aarsaa fi kennaa naaf fiddaniirtuu?
43 You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship them. Therefore I will exile you beyond Babylon.'
Isin fakkii waaqota waaqeffachuuf tolfattanii jechuunis dunkaana Moolekiitii fi urjii waaqa keessan Reefaan ol qabdaniirtu. Kanaafuu ani biyya Baabiloniin gamaattin isin ariʼa.’
44 "Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
“Abbootiin keenya gammoojjii keessatti dunkaana dhuga baʼumsaa of biraa qabu turan. Dunkaanni sunis akkuma Waaqni akka Museen akkuma bifa arge sanaatti hojjetuuf isa qajeelchetti hojjetamee ture.
45 which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David,
Abbootiin keenyas dunkaanicha fudhatanii biyya saba Waaqni isaan duraa ariʼee baase sanaatti Iyyaasuu wajjin galan; dunkaanni sun hamma bara Daawitiitti biyya sana ture.
46 who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
Daawitis fuula Waaqaa duratti fudhatama argatee Waaqa Yaaqoobiitiif mana jireenyaa ijaaruuf kadhate.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Garuu kan mana sana ijaareef Solomoon ture.
48 However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
“Taʼus Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii mana harki namaa ijaare keessa hin jiraatu; kunis akkuma raajichi akkana jedhee dubbatee dha:
49 'Heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?' says the Lord; 'or what is the place of my rest?
“‘Samiin teessoo koo ti; laftis ejjeta miilla kootii ti. Yoos isin mana akkamii naaf ijaartu ree? jedha Gooftaan. Yookaan lafti boqonnaa kootii eessa taʼa?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?'
Waan kana hunda harki koo hin hojjennee?’
51 "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so you do.
“Yaa namoota mata jabeeyyii nana! garaan keessan hin amanu; gurri keessanis hin dhagaʼu! Isin yeroo hunda Hafuura Qulqulluun mormitu; akkuma abbootiin keessan godhan sana isinis gootu.
52 Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.
Raajiin abbootiin keessan hin ariʼatin tokko iyyuu jiraa? Isaan warra duraan dursanii dhufaatii isa qajeelaa sanaa himan illee ni ajjeesan; isinis amma isa dabarsitanii kennitanii ajjeeftaniirtu;
53 You received the Law as it was ordained by angels, and did not keep it."
warri karaa ergamoota Waaqaatiin seera fudhattanii seera sanaaf ajajamuu diddanis isinuma.”
54 Now when they heard these things, they were furious, and they ground their teeth at him.
Isaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti aariin guggubatanii isatti ciniinnatan.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God.
Isxifaanos garuu Hafuura Qulqulluun guutamee gara samii ol ilaalee ulfina Waaqaatii fi Yesuusinis isaa mirga Waaqaa dhaabatee jiru arge.
56 And he said, "Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
Innis, “Ani kunoo samiin banamee, Ilma Namaas isaa mirga Waaqaa dhaabatee jiru nan arga” jedhe.
57 But they shouted out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.
Kana irratti isaan hundi gurra isaanii qabatanii sagalee guddaan iyyaa isatti girrisan.
58 They threw him out of the city, and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
Magaalaa keessaas gad isa baasanii dhagaan isa tumuu jalqaban. Yeroo sana dhuga baatonni uffata isaanii miilla dargaggeessa Saaʼol jedhamu tokkoo jala kaaʼatan.
59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
Isxifaanosis utuu isaan dhagaan isa tumaa jiranuu, “Yaa Gooftaa Yesuus, hafuura koo fudhadhu” jedhee kadhate.
60 He kneeled down, and shouted out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.
Jilbeenfatees sagalee guddaadhaan, “Yaa Gooftaa, cubbuu kana isaanitti hin lakkaaʼin!” jedhee iyye; innis erga waan kana dubbatee booddee ni duʼe.
