Acts 7
1 The cohen hagadol said, "Are these things so?"
Kahineta halaqay Isxifaanosekko, “Hayssi tumee?” yaagidi oychchis.
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,
Isxifaanosey, “Ta ishato, ta aawato, si7ite! Nu aawa Abrahamey Kaaranen daanaw baanappe sinthe Masephexoomiyan de7ishin, bonchcho Xoossay iyaw qonccidi,
3 and said to him, 'Go out from your land and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.'
‘Ne biittaafenne ne dabbotappe shaakettada taani nena bessiya biittaa ba’ yaagis.
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.
He wode Abrahamey Kalddaweta biittaafe keyidi Kaaranen daanaw bis. Iya aaway hayqqidaappe guye Xoossay iya ha biittaa ha77i hintte de7iya bessaa ehis.
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.
I ha biittaafe hari attoshin tohoy yedhdhiya bessika Abrahames immibeenna. Shin na7i iyaw baynna wode Xoossay ha biittaa iyawunne iya sheeshaas laata oothidi immanayssa qaala gelis.
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.
Xoossay Abrahamekko, ‘Ne sheeshay hara biittan imathatethan daana; yan oyddu xeetu laythi entti aylletethan haarettana.
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.'
Shin taani ne sheeshaa haariya deriya bolla pirddana. Hessafe guye, entti he biittaafe keyidi hayssan taw goynnana’ yaagis.
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.
Xoossay Abrahaame sheeshay qaxxarettana mela iyara caaqqin, Yisaaqi yelettida hosppuntha gallasan qaxxaris. Yisaaqi Yayqooba qaxxaris; qassi Yayqoobi tammanne nam77u ba nayta, nu aawata mayzata qaxxaris.
9 "The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt; and God was with him,
“Yayqooba nayti Yoosefa qanaattidi Gibxe biittan aylletethas bayzidosona, shin Xoossay iyara de7ees.
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.
Iya, iya waaye ubbaafe kessis. Gibxe kawuwa sinthan sabanne cinccatethi iyaw immis. Gibxe kawoy Yoosefas Gibxe biittaanne ba keetha ubbaa aysanaada halaqatethi immis.
11 Now a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no food.
“Gibxe biittaninne Kanaane biittan ubban koshi gelidi daro asaa un77ethis. He wode nu mayzati kathi demmanaw dandda7ibookkona.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
Yayqoobi Gibxe biittan kathi de7eyssa si7idi nu aawata koyro yaa yeddis.
13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
Nam77antho buussan Yoosefi ba ishatas banatethaa erisis. Gibxe kawoykka Yoosefa sheeshaa eris.
14 Then Joseph sent, and summoned Jacob, his father, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
Yoosefi ba aawa Yayqoobanne ba dabbo ubbaa, laappun tammanne ichchashu asaa baakko yaana mela kiittidi ehisis.
15 Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, himself and our fathers,
Yayqoobi Gibxe biittaa wodhdhis; inne iya nayti yan hayqqidosona.
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.
Entta ahay he bessaafe Seekeme giya biittaa tookettidi bidi, yan Abrahamey Hamoore naytappe daro biran shammida duufon moogettis.
17 "But as the time of the promise came close which God had made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
“Shin Xoossay Abrahames immana gidayssa poliya wodey gakkanaw matida wode Gibxe biittan de7iya nu asay dari dari bis.
18 until 'there arose a different king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.'
Hessafe guye, Yoosefa eronna hara kawoy Gibxe biittan kawotis.
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.
He kawoy nu zerethaa genidi guutha nayti hayqqana mela entta kare kessi yeggana mela nu aawata un77ethis.
20 At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father's house.
“He wode Musey yelettis; I Xoossaa sinthan daro lo77o na7a. Ba aawa keethan heedzu ageena gakkanaw diccis.
21 When he was thrown out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.
Musey wora holettida wode Gibxe kawuwa na7iya demma ekkada ba na7a oothada iya dichchasu.
22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
Musey Gibxeta cinccatetha ubbaa tamaaridi odaninne ooson mino asi gidis.
23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
“Muses laythay oytama kumida wode ba ishata, Isra7eeleta be7anaw ba wozanan qoppis.
24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
Isra7eelatappe issuwa Gibxe issoy qohishin be7idi he Isra7eele uraa maaddidi, he qohida Gibxe uraa wodhidi kushe zaaris.
25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they did not understand.
Musey ba ishata ba baggara Xoossay ashshanaw haneyssa entti akeekana gidi qoppis, shin entti akeekibookkona.
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?'
“Wonttetha gallas nam77u Isra7eele asati issoy issuwara wadhettishin demmidi entta sigethanaw koyidi, ‘Asato, hintte ishantta; ays issoy issuwa qohetii?’ yaagis.
27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
“Shin ba laggiya qoheyssi Musekko, ‘Nena nu bolla haareyssanne daynna oothiday oonee?
28 Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'
Neeni zine Gibxe uraa wodhidayssada tana wodhanaw koyay?’ yaagidi Muse sugi yeddis.
29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
Musey hessa si7ida wode Gibxefe betidi Miidiyaame biittan bete asi gididi de7ishe nam77u adde nayta yelis.
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.
“Godaa kiitanchchoy oytamu laythafe guye, Siina Deriya matan de7iya bazzo tushiya giddon eexiya tama laco giddon Muses benttis.
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came,
Musey ba be7idayssan malaalettidi, loythi be7anaw tushiya mati shiiqidi de7ishin, Godaa qaalay,
32 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob.' Moses trembled, and dared not look.
‘Taani ne aawata, Abrahame Xoossaa, Yisaaqa Xoossaa, Yayqooba Xoossaa’ yaagishe Musekko yis. Musey yashshan kokkoridi xeellanaw dandda7ibeenna.
33 The Lord said to him, 'Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
“Goday Musekko, ‘Neeni eqqida biittay geeshshi gidiya gisho ne tohuwan de7iya caammaa kessa.
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.'
Taani Gibxen de7iya ta asaa un77etethaa be7as. Entta waasuwa si7ada entta ashshanaw wodhdhas. Ha77i haaya! Taani nena Gibxe kiittana’ yaagis.
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.
“Isra7eeleti Muse, ‘Nena nuna haareyssanne daynna oothiday oonee?’ yaagidi ixxidayssa tushiya giddon iyaw benttida kiitanchchuwa baggara haareyssanne ashsheyssa oothidi Xoossay kiittis.
36 This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
He Musey Isra7eeleta Gibxefe kessidi malaalisiyabatanne oorathabata Gibxe biittaninne Zo7o Abban oothidi entta oytamu laythi bazzo biittan kaalethis.
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.'
“Isra7eele asaakko, ‘Xoossay tana denthidayssada hintte sheeshaa giddofe ta mela nabe hinttew denthana’ yaagiday he Muse.
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,
Bazzo biittan shiiqida Isra7eele asaara de7idayssi, nu aawataranne Siina Deriya bolla iyaw odida kiitanchchuwara de7ida Musey iya. Yaatidi, Xoossaa de7o qaala nuus immanaw ekkis.
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
“Shin nu mayzati Muses kiitettanaw dosibookkona; iya ixxidi guye Gibxe simmanaw amottidosona.
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.'
Qassi Aaronakko, ‘Nuna kaalethiya xoossata nuus ootha. Ays giikko, hayssi nuna Gibxefe ehida Musey, waanidaakko nuuni erokko’ yaagidosona.
41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
He wode mari daanisidi eeqa oothidosona. He eeqaas yarshsho yarshshidi bantta kushen oothida oosuwan ufayttidosona.
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?
Shin Xoossay enttaw zokko zaaris. Entti saluwa xoolinttotas goynnana mela entta yeggi aggis. Nabeta maxaafan, ‘Isra7eele asato oytamu laythi kumethi bazzo biittan shukkida mehiyanne yarshshida yarshshuwa taw yarshshidetii?
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.'
Hinttee, hinttew goynnanaw kessida eeqaanne Molooke dunkkaaniya Refaana giya hintte xoossaa xoolintto misiliya tookkideta. Taani hinttena Babilooneppe hini bagga yeddana’ geetettidi xaafettis.
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;
“Nu aawatas bazzo biittan markka dunkkaaney de7ees. Iyakka Xoossay Muse kiittidayssadanne iya bessidayssada oothis.
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,
Qassi nu aawati he dunkkaaniya bantta aawatappe ekkidi Xoossay kase yedethida Ayhude gidonna asaa biittaa oykkida wode Iyaasura yaa ekkidi gelidosona. He dunkkaaney Dawite wode gakkanawukka he bessan de7is.
46 who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
Dawitey Xoossan sabettis. Qassi Yayqooba Goday de7ana keethaa keexanaw Xoossaa woossis.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Shin iyaw keethaa keexiday Solomone.
48 However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
“Hanoshin, Ubbaafe Bolla Xoossay asi keexida keethan deenna. Nabey gidayssa mela,
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?
‘Saloy ta araata, sa7aykka ta tohoy yedhdhiyaso. Yaatin, taw hintte ay mela keethi keexanee? Woykko taani shemppiyasoy awunee?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?'
Ha ubbaa ta kushiyan oothabiikkinaa?’ yaagees Goday.
51 "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Ruach ha-Kodesh. As your fathers did, so you do.
“Hintte waanida si7onna asee? Hintte wozanay Xoossaa qaala ekkanaw ays ixxide? Hintte haythay ays tullidee? Hinttee, hintte aawatatho ubba wode Geeshsha Ayyaanaara eqetteeta.
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.
Nabeta giddofe hintte aawati gooddonnay oonee? Xoossaa Na7ay, Xilloy yaanayssa kasetidi odidayssata wodhidosona. Ha77i hintte iya aathi immidi wodhideta.
53 You received the Law as it was ordained by angels, and did not keep it."
Hintte kiitanchchuwa kusheppe Xoossaa higgiya ekkideta, shin kiitettibeekketa” yaagis.
54 Now when they heard these things, they were furious, and they ground their teeth at him.
Entti hessa si7ida wode bantta wozanan Isxifaanose bolla daro yilottidi, bantta mettershshaa saxxidi manddidosona.
55 But he, being full of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Yeshua standing on the right hand of God.
Shin Isxifaanosey Geeshsha Ayyaanan kumidi, salo pude xeellidi, Xoossaa bonchchuwanne Yesuusa Xoossaa ushachcha baggan eqqidayssa be7is.
56 And he said, "Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
“Hekko, taani saloy dooyettin, Asa Na7ay, Xoossaa ushachcha baggan eqqidayssa be7ays” yaagis.
57 But they shouted out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.
Qaalaa dhoqqu oothidi waassishe, bantta haythaa oykkidi issife iyaakko woxxidosona
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.
Katamaappe gaxa iya kessidi, shuchchan caddidosona. Markkati bantta ma7uwa issi Saa7ola giya na7atethaa matan wothidosona.
59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Yeshua, receive my spirit."
Isxifaanosey, “Ta Godaa Yesuusaa, ta shemppuwa ekka” yaagidi xeegishin entti iya shuchchan caddoosona.
60 He kneeled down, and shouted out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.
Gulbbatidi, ba qaala dhoqqu oothidi, “Ta Godaw, ha nagaraa enttaw atto ga” yaagis. Hessa yaagidi simmida mela hayqqi aggis.
