Acts 7
1 And the high-priest said, Are then these things so?
Mwet Tol Fulat el siyuk sel Stephen, “Ya pwaye ma mwet inge fahk keim uh?”
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,
Ac Stephen el fahk, “Mwet lili ac papa an, kowos porongeyu! Meet liki Abraham, papa matu tumasr, el tuh som ac muta lac Haran, God lun wolana El sikyang nu sel in acn Mesopotamia,
3 and said to him, “Go forth from thy country and thy kindred, and come into the land which I will show thee.”
ac fahk nu sel, ‘Tuyak ac fahla liki facl sum ac mwet lom, ac som nu ke sie acn su nga ac fah akkalemye nu sum.’
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;
Na el som liki facl sel, su ma lun mwet Chaldea, ac muta in siti se pangpang Haran. Tukun papa tumal Abraham ah misa, God El sap elan tuku nu in acn se ma kowos muta we inge.
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.
God El tiana sang kutu srisrik ipin acn inge nu sel Abraham in pacl sac tuh in ma lal. Tusruktu God El tuh wuleang mu El ac fah sang acn inge lal, oayapa nu sin fwilin tulik natul. In pacl se God El orala wulela se inge, wangin tulik natul Abraham.
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;
Pa inge ma God El fahk nu sel: ‘Fita lom uh ac fah muta in sie facl sac, yen elos ac fah mwet kohs we, ac elos ac fah akkeokyeyuk ke lusen yac angfoko.
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.”
Tusruk nga ac fah nununku mwet ma ac akkeokyalos uh, na tok elos ac illa liki facl se ingo ac alu nu sik in facl se inge.’
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.
Na God El sang nu sel Abraham sie mwe akul nu ke wulela sac, pa kosrala. Ouinge Abraham el kosralla Isaac ke el len oalkosr matwa, ac Isaac el kosralla Jacob, ac Jacob el kosrala wen singoul luo natul, su mwet matu pwengpeng lun sou lasr uh.
9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,
“Joseph el sie sin mwet matu pwengpeng lasr, ac tamulel lal elos sok sel ac kukakunulla tuh elan sie mwet kohs in acn Egypt. Tusruktu, God El welul
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.
ac karinganulang ke mwe ongoiya nukewa nu sel. Ke Joseph el utukyak nu ye mutal Pharoah, tokosra lun Egypt, God El sang ohi ac lalmwetmet nu sel, na tokosra sac el oakilya Joseph tuh elan governor fin acn we, ac oayapa fin mwet nukewa inkul fulat lun tokosra.
11 Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress; and our fathers found no Sustenance.
Na oasr sracl na lulap se sikyak fin acn Egypt nufon oayapa in facl Canaan, su pwanang keok lulap nu in acn we. Mwet matu lasr elos tuh tia ku in konauk mwe mongo,
12 But Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers first.
ac ke Jacob el lohngak lah oasr wheat in acn Egypt, el supwala wen natul, aok papa matu tumasr, ke fahsr se meet lalos nu we.
13 And at the second time Joseph was recognized by his brothers, and the kindred of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
Ke fahsr se akluo lalos ah, Joseph el sifacna fahkulak nu sin mwet lel, ouinge tokosra Egypt el tufah etu ke sou lal Joseph.
14 Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy five souls.
Na Joseph el sapla nu sel Jacob, papa tumal, ac fahk tuh el ac sou lal in tuku nu Egypt — mwet itngoul limekosr nufon.
15 And Jacob went down [[into Egypt]], and died, he and our fathers.
Na Jacob el oatula som nu Egypt, yen ma el, ac papa matu tumasr, misa we.
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.
Manolos utukla nu Shechem, ac pukpuki ke kulyuk se ma Abraham el tuh molela sin mwet in sruf lal Hamor.
17 But as the time of the promise drew near, which God solemnly made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
“Ke apkuran me pacl se ma God El tuh wuleang kac nu sel Abraham ah, pisen mwet lasr in acn Egypt arulana puseni.
18 until another king arose, who knew not Joseph.
Fahsr nwe sie tokosra su tia etu kacl Joseph el mutawauk in leum fin acn Egypt.
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.
El kiapwela mwet matu lasr, ac arulana sulallal nu selos, ac el orek sap ku nu selos in sisla tulik fusr natulos liki lohm selos elos in misa.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly fair; who was nourished in his father's house three months.
Pa inge pacl se Moses el isusla, ac el sie tulik na oasku. Mwet in lohm sel uh liyalang ke malem tolu,
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for herself as a son.
ac ke sisila el liki lohm sel ah, acn se natul tokosra nutella ac tufahlla oana in ma na natul.
22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his worlds and deeds.
Lutiyuk el ke kain in etauk nukewa lun mwet Egypt, ac el sie mwet arulana pah in kas ac ku ke orekma.
23 And when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.
“Ke Moses el yac angngaul matwal, el nunkauk in som liye lah mwet Israel wial uh fuka.
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed by smiting the Egyptian.
Ke el som el liye lah sie selos tuh orek arulana koluk sin mwet Egypt se, sruk wangin mwatal. Ouinge Moses el som in kasrel, na el foloksak nu sin mwet Egypt sac ac unilya. (
25 For he supposed his brethren would understand that God through his hand would give them salvation; but they understood not.
El nunku mu mwet lal uh ac kalem kac lah God El orekmakunul in aksukosokyalosla, tuh elos tiana kalem kac.)
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?
In len tok ah el liye ke mwet Israel luo anwuk, na el srike in akmisyeltalla, ac el fahk nu seltal, ‘Porongeyu. Komtal kewa mwet Israel, na efu ku komtal anwuk angan?’
27 But he who was wronging his neighbor thrust him away, saying, “Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Tusruktu mwet se ma oru koluk mwet se ngia el sinukunulla Moses ac siyuk sel, ‘Su oru kom in leum facsr ac nununkekut uh?
28 Dost thou mean to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian yesterday?”
Ya kom lungse uniyuwi, oana ke kom uniya mwet Egypt se ekea ah?’
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
Ke Moses el lohng kas inge, el kaingla liki acn Egypt ac som muta in facl Midian. Ke el muta we, oasr wen luo natul we.
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.
“Tukun yac angngaul, lipufan se sikyang nu sel Moses liki e se ma firir in sak srisrik soko in acn mwesis apkuran nu fineol Sinai.
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]],
Moses el arulana lut ke ma se el liye inge, ac el kalukyang nu kac elan liye in wo. Na el lohngak pusren Leum, ke El fahk:
32 saying, “I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.” And Moses trembled and durst not behold.
‘Nga God lun papa matu tomom somla — God lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob.’ Moses el rarrar ke sangeng, ac tia ku in ngetang nu kac.
33 And the Lord said to him, “Loose the sandals from thy feet; for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
Ac Leum God El fahk nu sel, ‘Eisla fahluk lom an, tuh acn se kom tu we inge acn mutal se.
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.”
Nga liye lupan ongoiya lun mwet luk in acn Egypt. Nga lohng sasao lalos, ac inge nga oatui in molelosla. Fahsru, ac nga fah supwekomla nu Egypt.’
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.
“Moses se inge pa mwet Israel tuh srangesr lohngol, ac fahk nu sel mu, ‘Su oru kom in leum facsr ac nununkekut uh?’ El pa mwet se ma God El supwala in tuh kol mwet uh, ac molelosla ke kasru lun lipufan se su sikyang nu sel in e se ma firir in sak srisrik soko ah.
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.
El kolla mwet uh liki acn Egypt, orek mwenmen ac ma sakirik in acn Egypt ac in Meoa Srusra, ac oayapa in acn mwesis uh ke yac angngaul.
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.”
Moses se inge pa mwet se ma tuh fahk nu sin mwet Israel, ‘God El ac fah supwama mwet palu se nu suwos, oana ke El tuh supweyume, ac el ac fah mau sie mwet in mutunfacl suwos.’
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;
El pa tuh wi u na lulap se lun mwet Israel su toeni in acn mwesis; el tuh wi mwet matu lasr muta we, ac wi pac lipufan se ma tuh kaskas nu sel fineol Sinai, ac el tuh eis kas moul lun God in tafwema nu sesr.
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
“Tusruktu mwet matu lasr elos tia lungse aksol Moses. Elos sisella ac kena folokla nu Egypt.
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.”
Ouinge elos fahk nu sel Aaron, ‘Orala kutu god ah in kol kut. Kut tiana etu lah mea acnu sikyak nu sin mwet se Moses uh, su uskutme liki acn Egypt ah.’
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
In pacl sac pa elos tuh orala ma sruloala se in luman cow mukul soko, ac orek kisa nu kac, ac orek kufwa in akfulatye ma se elos sifacna orala.
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?
Ke sripa se inge God El tuh ngetla lukelos, ac eisalosyang in alu nu ke itu inkusrao uh, oana ma fahkak in Ma Simusla lun mwet palu uh, su fahk: ‘Kowos mwet Israel! Ma kowos uniya ac kisakin Ke yac angngaul in acn mwesis ah, Kowos tia oru nu sik.
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.”
Lohm nuknuk lal god Molech ah pa kowos tuh us forfor ah, Ac ma sruloala in lumal Rephan, god itu lowos; Ma inge kewa ma sruloala ma kowos orala tuh kowos in alu nu kac. Ouinge nga ac fah supwekowosla nu in sruoh nu in sie acn loes liki acn Babylon.’
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;
“Mwet matu lasr elos tuh us Lohm Nuknuk su Nien Muta lun Leum God welulos yen mwesis ah. Tuh orekla oana ke God El fahk nu sel Moses, ac fal nu ke srikasrak ma itukyang Moses el liye ah.
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;
Tok, mwet matu lasr elos tuh eis lohm nuknuk sacna, ma papa tumalos tuh sang nu selos, ac elos us welulos ke elos tuh welul Joshua sruokya acn sin mutanfahl ma God El tuh lusak ye mutalos. Na lohm nuknuk sac oanna we nwe ke pacl lal David.
46 who found favor before God, and asked that he might find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
God El tuh insewowo sel David, ac David el siyuk God Elan lela nu sel in musai sie lohm sin God lal Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Tuh tia el, a Solomon pa tuh musaela lohm se nu sel ah.
48 Yet the Most High dwelleth not in [[temples]] made with hands; as saith the prophet,
“Tusruktu God Fulatlana El tia muta in lohm ma orekla ke poun mwet; oana ke mwet palu el fahk,
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?
‘Leum God El fahk, Kusrao nien muta fulat luk, Ac faclu ma loangeyen niuk. Lohm fuka se kowos ac musaela sik an? Pia acn nga ac muta we uh?
50 Did not my hands make all these things?”
Ya tia nga pa orala ma inge nukewa uh?’”
51 Stiffnecked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears! ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do ye.
Ac Stephen el fahk, “Seyal kowos arulana likkeke ac lohsr insiowos! Kowos mwet srangesr lohng kas sin God me! Kowos wi pac lain Ngun Mutal oana mwet matu lowos somla!
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;
Ku oasr mwet palu ma mwet matu lowos ah tuh tia akkeokye? Elos tuh uniya mwet utuk kas lun God su fahkak oemeet ke Mwet Kulansap suwoswos se lun God su ac tuku. Ac inge kowos tukakunulak ac unilya.
53 ye who received the Law as ordained through angels, and did not keep it.
Kowos pa tuh eis Ma Sap lun God su tutafme sin lipufan ah — ne ouinge, a kowos tiana akos!”
54 But when they heard these things, their hearts were filled with rage, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
Ke Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat elos lohng kas lal Stephen, elos arulana foloyak ac ngalseni wihselos ke kasrkusrak lalos sel.
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,
Tusruktu Stephen el sesseslana ke Ngun Mutal. El ngetak nu inkusrao ac liye wolana lun God, ac Jesus el tu lac po layot sin God.
56 and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Na el fahk, “Ngetak liye! Nga liye kusrao ikakla, ac Wen nutin Mwet el tu lac po layot sin God!”
57 And they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat uh wola ke sie pusra lulap ac fonosya insraclos. Na elos nufon tukenina yuyang nu sel,
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;
sisella nu likin siti uh, ac mutawauk in tanglal. Mwet orek loh lainul elos filiya nuknuk lik lalos yurin sie mwet fusr pangpang Saul.
59 and they stoned Stephen, making supplication, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Elos nuna tanglal na Stephen ke el pang nu sin Leum ac fahk, “Leum Jesus, eis ngunik!”
60 And kneeling down he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And saying this, he fell asleep.
El sikukmutuntei, ac wowoyak ke sie pusra lulap ac fahk, “Leum, nimet filiya mwatan ma koluk se inge nu faclos!” Tukun el fahk ma inge, na el misa.
