Acts 7
1 The high priest said, "Are these things so?"
Chuin thempu chungnung chun Stephen chu adongin, “Hiche hehna thu hohi dih em?” ati.
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,
Chuin Stephen in adonbut in, “Sopite le Pateho ngaiyuvin, Ipuluiyu Abraham Haran a achen masang, Mesopotamia gam'a aumlaiyin Loupi Pathen chu ahenga ana kilah in,
3 and said to him, 'Go out from your land and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.'
Hitin anaseiyin ahi, ‘napena gam leiset le na insungmi hindalhan lang, keiman kavetsah ding gamleiset a hungin’” ati.
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.
Chuin Abraham'in Chaldea gam ahin dalhan apa thikah in Haran a anachengin, chujouvin tua nachennau gamsunga hin ahin puilut in ahi.
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.
Ahinlah Pathen in akengto ngapna dingkham gambeh neocha jong ana pepoi. Ahin Abraham'in chapa aneiloulai vang'in nikhatle ama le ason achilhah ten hichegam hi alodingu ahi tin Pathen in ana thutep-in ahi.
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.
Chuleh Pathen in aseikit in nason nachilhate jong migama kum jali sohchang le bolgima um dingu ahi
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.'
Ahin soh-a kai nam mite chunga keiman thu katan ding, achaina le hiche gam'a hi hung kile kit uva keima eihoukit dingu ahi ati.
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.
Chule Pathen in jong Abraham chu cheptana kitepna thu anapen, chuin Abraham'in achapa Isaac ahin phat in aniget nin chep anatan in, chule hiche kitepna chu Isaac in jong Jacob ahina, chuleh Jacob in apului-u somleni ahinchan geiyin jong ahin boljom jingun ahi.
9 "The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt; and God was with him,
Chuin hiche puluiho chu asopipau Joseph chunga ana thangthip uvin, hijeh chun Egypt gam'a sohding in anajohdoh uvin ahi. Ahin Pathen in anaumpi jingin,
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.
Gentheina ho jouse a konin anahuhdoh in Egypt lengpa Pharaoh angsunga lungsetna anapen ahi. Chule Pathen in Joseph chu kidangtah chihna anapen hijeh chun Pharaoh in Joseph chu Egypt gam pumpia vaipon ana pansah in chuleh a leng inpia jong mopon ana pansah in ahi.
11 Now a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no food.
Ahin Egypt gam le Canaan gam sunga kel ahunglha tan ahileh gentheina sangtah ahunglhung tan hijeh chun ipuiluiteu jong nehding neilouvin anaum un ahi.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
Chuin Jacob in Egypt gamsunga neh aum nalaiye ti ahet phatin achate-ipuiluiteu chu neh choding in asolin ahi.
13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
Anivei channa a anache uchun Joseph chu a sopite henga ana kiphongin chuin asopite chu Pharaoh henga anapuilut in ahi.
14 Then Joseph sent, and summoned Jacob, his father, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
Chuin Joseph in mi asolin apa Jacob le ainsungmite somsagi le nga hochu ahenga dingin agakousah tan ahi.
15 Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, himself and our fathers,
Chuin Jacob chu Egypt gam'a anache in athitan ahi chule ipuluiteu jong anathi tauvin ahi.
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.
Chun alongdamsau chu Shechem a ahin pouvin Abraham'in Hamor chapate koma anachohna lhanmuna chun avui tauvin ahi.
17 "But as the time of the promise came close which God had made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Pathen in Abraham koma athutep guilhunna ding phat anaitah jehchun miho chu Egypt gam'a chun hatah in apungun.
18 until 'there arose a different king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.'
Ahin Joseph hephalou lengthah khat Egypt lengvaipoa ahung pan phat in,
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.
Hiche lengpa chun imiteu chu doha in abolin asugentheiyin chule achasen houchu athi nadingin anu le apa teu chu hunam'in ana paidoh sah in ahi.
20 At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father's house.
Hichephat laitah chun Pathen mitvet a chapang hoitah Mose chu anapengin, anu le apan inmun'ah lhathum hoitah in anasin lhonin ahi.
21 When he was thrown out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.
Chuin anu le apan Mose chu apaidoh lhontan ahileh Pharaoh chanun ana kimudoh in ama cha bang bangin ahin vahkhang tan ahi.
22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
Chuin Mose chu Egypt gamsung chihna ho jouse ahilun ahile ama chu thusei le natoh a thahattah'a hung hitan ahi.
23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
Chuin Mose chu kum somli ahung hi phat hin nikhat chu asopite-Israel techu agavetan ahile,
24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
Egypt mipa khat'in Israel mikhat alamlou tah'a abol chu amun chuin Mose chu ahungin Israel mipa chu ahuh in Egypt mipa chu athattan ahi.
25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they did not understand.
Mose chun hiche Israel mite chun Pathen in keiho huhdoh dinga eihinsolpeh ahi ti geldoh nauvinte tia anagel vang chun Israel mite chun anageldoh pouvin ahi.
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?'
Chuin ajing nikhon amite agavet a ahileh, Israel mini ana kina lhonin hijeh chun aman jong chamna nasem kigon hiche miteni koma chun “Nangni sopi khat nahi lhon louham? Ipi dinga nakinah lhon ham?” atin ahile,
27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
mikhatpa chun Mose chu ahin sondoh in, kon keiho chunga vaihom le thutana napansah ham? tin ahin dongin,
28 Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'
“Janhia Egypt mipa khat natha banga chu keima jong neitha got ham?” atin ahi.
29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
Chuin Mosen hichu ajah phat chun, Egypt gam'a konin ajamin Midian gam apemin hiche muna chun chapa ni ahingin ahi.
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.
Chuin kum somli jouvin Vantil hamboh meikongin Mose chu Sinai mol toh kinai gamthip a chun ana kimupi in,
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came,
Chuin Mosen hichu amun athilmu chu kidang asah in, achenaiya agavet kigot le Pakai awgin chun ahin kouvin,
32 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob.' Moses trembled, and dared not look.
“Keima napuluiteu Pathen kahi, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob Pathen kahi,” ahin tin ahile Mose jong akicha behseh jengin avengam tapon ahi.
33 The Lord said to him, 'Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
Chuin Pathen in aseiyin, “Nakengchot sutlhan ajeh chu nadinna mun chu muntheng ahi.
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.'
Egypt gam'a kamite gentheina kamutan, akanau aw kajan ahuhdoh dinga hungkumlha kahitai, hijeh chun tun keiman nangma hi Egypt gam'a kanungsol kit nahi,” ati.
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.
Chuin “Kon keiho chunga vaihom le thutana napansah ham?” tia asanlou pau chu, Pathen in hamboh lah'a kona akimusah vantil jalchun vaipo dingle thutan dingin Pathen in Mose chu alesol kit in ahile.
36 This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
Mose'n thil kidang le melchihna tamtah pumin Israelte chu Egypt gam'a konin ahinpuidoh in twipisan le gamthip chu kum somli sungin ahung galkaiyun ahi.
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.'
“Chuin Mose amatah in Israelte koma anaseiyin, Pathen in keima tobang themgaokhat nangholah-a kona asodohsah ding ahi,” ati.
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,
Mose chu gamthip a ipuluiteu toh Pathen mite kikhop khomna-a anaumkhomin, Sinai Molchunga valtil in thu aseipeh chun, khonunga eiho jouse pehson dingin hinna thu eina lahpeh-uvin ahi.
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
Ahinlah Ipuluiteu chun Mose thusei anangai pouvin Egypt gam'a kinungle ding ana deijo un ahi.
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.'
Ipuiluiteu chun Aaron koma aseiyun, “Eilamkai thei ding-u pathen lim themkhat neisempeh-un ajeh chu Egypt gam'a kona eihin puidoh pau Mose hi iti hitam kahetapouve,” atiuvin ahi.
41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
Chuin bongnou toh kilou milim khat asem uvin, hiche milim henga chun kilhaina gantha asemuvin, athilsem uchu akipapi uvin ahi.
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?
Chuin amahoa konin Pathen akihei mangin, Vana ahsiho chu apathenu hidingin adalhatan ahi! Chuin themgao lekhabun asei “Vo Israel kum somli gamthip'a nathamlaiyuva nahin choiyu kilhaina gantha le thilto ho chu keima henga ding ham?
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.'
Ahipoi, nanghon Molech ponbuh le pathen Rephan ahsi hou dinga alim nasemthu-u chu napole ji bouvui, hijeh a chu nangho Babylon gamsung chana soh-a kasol ding nahiuve,” ati.
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;
Ipuluiteu chun gamthip noija chun Houbuh chu anapole un Pathen in Mose henga anamusah lim bang bang chun ana tungdoh ji-un ahi.
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,
Kum phabep jouvin Joshua lamkaina a ipuluiteuvin hiche gam'a kona Pathen in ananodohho khopimun analo-uchun Pathen Houbuh chu anapolut un Leng David khang chanin ana um'in ahi.
46 who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
David chu Pathen mitmun deium ana chang'in, aitih a Jacob Pathen chenna ding Houin sahna dingin anathumin ahi.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Ahin hiche houin chu Solomon in ana tungdoh in ahi.
48 However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
Hijeng jongle hiche khut a kisa houin a chun Chungnungpen Pathen chu achengpoi tin, Themgaovin aseiye.
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?
“Van kalaltouna ahin leiset kakengto ngapna ahi, chutobang chenna ding inpha chu neisahpeh thei ding ham?” tin Pakai chun adongin ahi.
50 Did not my hand make all these things?'
Van le leiset ania kakhut a kasem hilou ham? tia asei banga chu.
51 "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so you do.
“Nangho milouchalte, thutah'a dinga alungthim le ana ngong teho, aimatih chana Lhagao Theng nadoudalu hilou ham? Hichu na pului teuvin ana bola nanghon jong nabolu ahi.
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.
Napului teuvin ana bolgim lou themgao khat umem? Chondihtah Messiah hungding thu ana sei masaho chu ana that un amatah jong namatsah un na that un ahi.
53 You received the Law as it was ordained by angels, and did not keep it."
chule Vantil a kona nalah son u Pathen danthu jeng jong henasa san nanit pouvin ahi,” ati.
54 Now when they heard these things, they were furious, and they ground their teeth at him.
Stephen in athemmo nau thu asei chun Judate lamkai ho chu alunghansah lheh jengun chuin amachu akhuttum ajel khumun ahi.
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.
Ahin Lhagao Theng dimset'in Stephen chun vanlam aven ahileh Pathen loupina le Yeshua Pathen khut jetlam jabolna muna adin chu amun ahi.
56 And he said, "Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
Chuin aman amahojah a, “Ven vankot akihona chule Pathen khut jetlam jabolna muna mihem chapa adin kamui,” ati.
57 But they shouted out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.
Chuin amahon akhut'un anakol akisip-un apengjah un amachu anokhum jengun,
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.
Khopi pamlanga akaidoh-un songin asep-un, chuin ama themmo chansah hochun avon chu asut-un Saul kiti khangdongpa kengbul'a chun akoiyun ahi.
59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
Chuin songa asepettah-un Stephen chu ataovin, “Pakai Ka lhagao lan,” ati.
60 He kneeled down, and shouted out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.
Chuin abohkhup in apengjah jengin, “Pakai abolho jouseu hi amaho chonsetin simpeh hih-in,” atin hiti chu athitan ahi.
