Acts 7
1 And the high-priest said, Are then these things so?
Utekhen'chi umbaha akhachova imbombo in'chin'cha leli”?
2 And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
U Sitefano akhan'chova akhata, “Valukolo lwango numwe va baba vango, mumulehen'che une: Unguluve va vudwadwa an'gulume ubaba vito u Abrahamu walipa Masopotamia, vabadu satamile khu Halani,'
3 and said to him, “Go forth from thy country and thy kindred, and come into the land which I will show thee.”
uhege mukilunga kyakho navalukololo ulutage khukhilunga eikhi ya khiva mkhokhovonesya'.
4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Haran; and from thence, after his father was dead, he caused him to remove into this land wherein ye now dwell;
Puu akhahege mukilunga kya Ukaludayo alukhutama khu Halani, ukhuhuma apo, ubaba va mwene vu afuile, Unguluve akhandeta mukhilunga eikhii eikhi vitama lino.
5 and he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on; and he promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no child.
Sakhampa khinu nduvu hale wa mwene, sapale nei nafasi ei ya khuvikha amalunde. Pakhuva uAbrahamu avuliwee vubadu sapatile umwana ukhuta ipata ikhulunga ukhuva vahale wa mwene na vana va mwene.
6 And God spoke in this manner: “That his posterity should sojourn in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into bondage, and ill-treat them four hundred years;
Unguluve akhan'chova nave akhata avaholiwa va mwene vakhali vatamaga eikhulunga kya vageni, nukhuta avaholiwa va ukhu vikhu vavikha ukhuva vatumwa nukhuvavombela fivi usikhe gwa miakha ei mia nne.
7 and the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge,” said God; “and after that they shall come forth, and shall worship me in this place.”
Nu Nguluve akhata nihega ikhilunga eikhi yakhuva khikhuvavikha vatumwa, pakhuva vihega nukhuiei saya uluvalu ulu.'
8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
Puu akhampa uAbrahamu ulwidehano nukhukeketa, uAbrahamu akhava baba va Esikaka akha nkenketa ei lichuva lya nane; u Esikaka akhava baba va Yakovo, nu Yakovo akhava baba va vakukhu vito khechigo na vavili.
9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,
Avakukhu yetu vakhamboneha uwifu uYusufu vakhagucha khu Misili, nu Nguluve akhava paninee nave,
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt, and all his house.
akhanpokha pa tabu(sida) ya mwene akhampa nuluhala pamiho ga Falao unbaha vakhu Misili. U Falao akhambekha akhava imbaha vava Misili nei nyumba ya mwene yoni.
11 Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress; and our fathers found no Sustenance.
Pu khukhava nee njala ei mbaha nee tabu ei mbaha khu Misili na khu Kanani, nava baba veto savakhapata ukyakhulwa.
12 But Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers first.
Pu uYakobo vuapulikhe ukhuta khuli kyakhulwa khu Misili, akhavasuha ava baba veto ututan'chi.
13 And at the second time Joseph was recognized by his brothers, and the kindred of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
Ulwavile uYusufu akhivonesya khuva lukololwe eikhivumbukho kya Yusufu khikhamanyikha khwa Falao.
14 Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy five souls.
U Yusufu akhavasuha avalukololwe ukhuluta khukhumbula uYakobo ubaba yevo in'che khu Misili, paninie navalukololwe, ekhikalo kya mwene vale avanu sabini na vahano.
15 And Jacob went down [[into Egypt]], and died, he and our fathers.
U Yakobo akhikhe khu Misili; akhafya paninwe nava baba yeto.
16 And they were removed to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.
Vakhatoliwa khu Shekemu vakhasyiliwa mulipumba eilwu udada yavo uAbrahamu agulile nii hela n'cho khuhuma khuvana va Hamori ukhuu khu Shekemu.
17 But as the time of the promise drew near, which God solemnly made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Pa khasikhiei akha Unguluve aedihine nu Abrahamu vu ahegelile pa vanu, valikhwongelela khu Misili,
18 until another king arose, who knew not Joseph.
usikhiei ugwa akhima undogon'chi uyunge khuu Misili, undogon'chi uvisa manyile uYusufu.
19 The same dealt subtly with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, so that they should cast out their infants, that they might not be preserved alive.
Undogon'chi uyunge uywa akhavasiova avanu vito nukhuvavombela imbivi avadada yeto, nukhuvataga avana vavene avadebe valekhe ukhutama.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly fair; who was nourished in his father's house three months.
Khu sikhei ugwa uMose akhaholiwa; ale nonu pamiho ga Nguluve, akhaleliwa eimin'chi gedatu munyumba yadadaye.
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for herself as a son.
Usikhei uguatagine ung'echa vakhwa Falao akhatola akhagega nduu mwana va mwene.
22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his worlds and deeds.
U Mose akhamanyeisiwa amafundisyo goni aga khu Misili; vu alina makha na mamenyu ni mbombo.
23 And when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.
Vua fikhile eimiakha alubaini gakhamwin'chila amasage gakhu vagendele avalukololwe avanya Isilaeli.
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed by smiting the Egyptian.
Vuambwene Umwisilaeli ivomba imbivi, uMose akhakolela eikhisa nukhuhomben'cha uvuvivi khwaula uviukhutova uva khu Misili:
25 For he supposed his brethren would understand that God through his hand would give them salvation; but they understood not.
akhasaga ukhuta avalukololwe vikhuvumanya ukhuta Unguluve ukhuvapokha mukhivokho kya mwene, pakhuva savamanye.
26 And the next day he showed himself to them as they were contending, and urged them to peace, saying, Ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one another?
Eilin'chuya eilikongile akhaluta khuvanya Isilaeli avavatovanaga akhagela ukhuva sayaniwa; akhan'chova,' Vahego, Umue mulilokolo; mbona mwilwa yumwe khwa yumwe?
27 But he who was wronging his neighbor thrust him away, saying, “Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Ula uvaakoseminche ula uvivale paninwe akhakulugila khuvutali, nukhun'chova, 'Veni akhuvikhile uvetavala nukhuva eing'igi veto?
28 Dost thou mean to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian yesterday?”
Uve winogwa ukhumbuda nduvu kha mbudile uMisili pamuhe?”
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
U Mose akhakimbila vuapulikhe in'cho; akhava eigeni mukhilunga kya Midiani, akhava baba va vana vavilei.
30 And when forty years were completed, there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai an angel in the flaming fire of a bush.
Vug'isilile ei mikha ulubaini usuhwa va Nguluve akhambonekhela mulukongu lwa kyamba kya Sinai, mukhiei situ mugati gukhwakha umwoto.
31 And Moses seeing it wondered at the sight; and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came [[to him]],
Vu uMose alolile umwoto alikhunyomokha nukhukenyemukha khu khila ikhiei ikhukhivona, pu alikhuhegelela alole, eisavuti ya Nguluve eikhin'cha eikhan'chova,
32 saying, “I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.” And Moses trembled and durst not behold.
'Une nene Nguluve va baba vakho, Nguluve va Abrahamu, uIsakha, nu Yakobo'. U Mose alikhutetema nukhusita ukhulola.
33 And the Lord said to him, “Loose the sandals from thy feet; for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
Unguluve akhambula akhata, 'Fula ifilato apa upuwimile pavalan'che.
34 I have surely seen the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them; and now, come, I will send thee into Egypt.”
Nelolile eisida ya vanu vango khu Misili; Nipulikhe ukhulamwa khwa vene, numwe mkhilenei vapolikhe; lino win'che, nikhukhusuha uve khu Misili.'
35 This Moses, whom they denied, saying, “Who made thee a ruler and a judge?” this very man did God send both as a ruler and a redeemer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
Uyu uMose uvaabelile ukhuta veni akhuvikhile uve imbaha nukhuva indamun'chi veto?' viuyu Unguluve ambikhile ukhuva imbaha nuvuvupoli. Unguluve akhasuha khukhivokho kya suhwa uviang'umile uMose pakhisitu.
36 This very man brought them out, working wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
U Mose akhavalongon'cha ukhuhuma khu Misili vu avombile ifiswigo vya khuswiga khu Misili na munyanja ya Shamu, na katika jangwa mukhasikhikha miakha alubaini.
37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, “A prophet will God raise up to you from among your brethren, as he raised up me.”
U Mose viuyu avavuule avanu va Isilaeli ukhuta, 'Unguluve ukhuve mikhila undogon'chi uyonge ukhuhuma mukhivumbukho kyenyo, undongon'chi ndune'.
38 This is he that was in the assembly in the wilderness with the anger who spake to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received the living oracles to give to us;
Uyu vei munu uviale pa khipuga nusuhwa mulukongu uvianchovile nave pa kyamba kya Sinai. Huyu ndiye mtu ambaye alikuwa na baba zetu, huyu ni mtu ambaye alipokea neno lililo hai na kutupatia sisi.
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
Uyu vi munu uvi ale na vababa vito vabelile ukhumwedikha; vakhakulugila khuvutali, munumbula n'cha vene vakhasyetukhila khu Misili.
40 saying to Aaron, “Make us gods who shall go before us; for as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.”
Pu usikhi ugwa vakhambula uHaluni.'ukhuta ututengenesehen'che ei minguluve egywa khutulongon'cha. U Mose, uviakhatulongon'chaga khu Misili, satumanyile n'chi n'chi mbwene.'
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Vakhatengenesya eisenga isikhu in'cho puvakhahumya ne sadakha khuusenga iyo vakhahovoka pa mbombo n'cha mavokho gavene.
42 But God turned away, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the Prophets, “Did ye offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices for forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Unguluve akhapindula akhavapa inondwa n'cha khukhianya, nduvulisimbiwe mkhitabu kya vanyamalago, 'Ye Mungumehin'che une einekhelo ya senga einchimuhinjile ndukungu musikhi ugwa myakha ulubaini, munyumba ya Isilaeli?
43 And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, the figures which ye made to worship them; and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.”
Mweidikhe munyumba ya kwaganila nu Moleki ni nondwe n'cha minguluve gwa refani, nifihwani ifi mutengenisye nukhuisaya khu fiene: nikhuvahilekha khuvutali saidi yakhu Babeli.'
44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, as he that spoke to Moses commanded that he should make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
Avababa yito vale ni nyumba yakhwaganila mundukungu, nduvu Unguluve avavulile avile an'chovile nu Mose, ukhuta akhale in'chega ndeikhihwani khila eikhi mukhakhiwene.
45 which also our fathers received and brought in with Joshua, at their taking possession of the gentiles whom God drove out from before our fathers, until the days of David;
Eiye yu nyumba uvu avababa vagegiwe nu Yosua. Eiye yahumile usikhi ugu vaingile khutavala khuvanu vavo Unguluve avasweimile vubadu avadada yeito. Eye yale ewo mupakha akhasikhe kha Davudi,
46 who found favor before God, and asked that he might find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
uyu vii akhavile uluhusa khumiho ga Nguluve akhadova khwa Nguluve uva Yakovo.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
U Selemani akhan'chengela enyumba ya Nguluve.
48 Yet the Most High dwelleth not in [[temples]] made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Pakhuva uvialikhukianya sitama inyumba n'chi van'chengile namavokho; eye vinduvu an'chovile unyamalago,
49 “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What house will ye build for me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my rest?
Khukyanya khigoda kyango kya vutwa, ne khilunga luvafu lwa khukanya amalunde gango. Nyumba yilindakhikhii eiyakhiva mukhunjengela?, in'chova Ubaba: ndapi apa khugatalukha?
50 Did not my hands make all these things?”
Mavokho gango agavombile ifi vyoni?'
51 Stiffnecked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears! ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do ye.
Umwe mwei vanu mwiei vanya singo ng'afu umwei samnon'chiche inumbula nii mbulukhutu, kila misikhi mukhubela Umepo Umbalan'che,' mvomba nduvu vakha vombaga ava dada yenyo.
52 Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they slew those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, of whom ye have now become the betrayers and murderers;
Nyamalago veni uviava dada yenyo sivatesin'che? Vavabudile avanyamalago va badu sin'chile Umwene unya Leli,'na lino muvile vachova fivi nuvubudi khumwene,
53 ye who received the Law as ordained through angels, and did not keep it.
umwe mwei vanu umwei mupokhile indagilo in'chilagililwe nusuhwa samukhun'chibata.”
54 But when they heard these things, their hearts were filled with rage, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
Puu avavaha va balasa vuvapulikhe imbombo in'chi n'chiikhavahoma inumbula n'cha vene vakhagwegwedulila amino uSitefani.
55 But, being full of the Holy Spirit, he looked up earnestly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Pakhuva umwene adigile Umepo Umbalan'che alolile khukianya vunonu nukhuvuvona uvu dwadwa wa Nguluve,' nukhumbona uYesu eimile eikhivokho ei kyandwo eikya Nguluve.
56 and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
U Sitefani akhan'chova, “Niluwene uludeva ludindwikhe, nu Mwana va Nguluve eimile eikhivokho kyandwo kya Nguluve.”
57 And they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
Puu avavaha va ndagilo vakhaywega nukhudinda imbulukhutu vakhanyalila pupaninie,
58 and having cast him out of the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul;
vakhan'taga khunji nukhutova na mawe: navasaidi vakhafula eimienda gwa vene eigwa khunji vakhavikha pasi pamalonde ga Savuli.
59 and they stoned Stephen, making supplication, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Vuvitova na mawe khuva Sitefani, akhendelela ukhwiimwilanga Udaada nukhun'chova, “Uvii vi Yesu, upila ei numbula yango,”.
60 And kneeling down he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And saying this, he fell asleep.
Akhafugama nukhwilanga khu savuti eimbaha, “Baaba, usite ukhuvavalilei inongwa eiyee. “Vu an'chovile n'chi, akhafywa.
