Acts 7
1 And the high priest said, Are these things so?
Lubni ol aanaanis, “Wanni kun dhugumaa?” jedhee isa gaafate.
2 And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt 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 unto him, Get thee out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
Waaqnis, ‘Biyya keetii fi saba kee dhiisiitii gara biyya ani si argisiisuu dhaqi’ jedheen.
4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead, [God] removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell:
“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 and he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: and he promised that he would give it to him in possession, and to his seed after him, when [as yet] he 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 And God spake on this wise, that his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil, 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 And the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, 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 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so [Abraham] begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob 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 And 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 favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and 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 there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
“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 corn in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.
Yaaqoobis akka Gibxi keessa midhaan jiru dhageenyaan yeroo jalqabaatiif abbootii keenya achi erge.
13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s race became manifest unto Pharaoh.
Imala isaanii lammaffaa irrattis Yoosef eenyummaa isaa obboloota isaatti hime; Faraʼoonis waaʼee obboloota Yoosef beeke.
14 And Joseph sent, and called to him Jacob his father, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
Yoosefis ergasii nama ergee abbaa isaa Yaaqoobii fi maatii isaa hunda jechuunis walumatti qabaatti nama 75 waamsise.
15 And 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 carried over unto Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons 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 drew nigh, which God vouchsafed unto 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 till there arose another king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
Ergasii ‘Mootiin waaʼee Yoosef hin beekin haaraan tokko bulchaa Gibxi taʼe.’
19 The same dealt subtilly with our race, and evil entreated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live.
Innis akka malee saba keenya cunqurse; abbootii keenyas akka daaʼimman isaanii dhumaniif akka isaan gad gatan dirqisiise.
20 At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and 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 and when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
Yommuu inni alatti gatametti intalli Faraʼoon fudhattee akka ilma isheetti isa guddifatte.
22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and 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 well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
“Museen yommuu umuriin isaa waggaa 40 guutetti dhaqee obboloota isaa ijoollee Israaʼel ilaaluu murteesse.
24 And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:
Museenis utuu namni Gibxi tokko nama isaanii tokko miidhuu arge. Kanaafis nama isaanii gargaaruu dhaqee namicha Gibxi sana ajjeesuun haaloo baaseef.
25 and he supposed that his brethren understood how that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.
Museen waan sabni isaa akka Waaqni karaa isaatiin saba Israaʼel furu hubatu seʼee ture; sabni sun garuu hin hubanne.
26 And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to 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 that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee 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 Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
Akkuma kaleessa namicha Gibxi ajjeefte sana ana illee ajjeesuu barbaaddaa?’
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
Museenis waan kana dhageenyaan biyya Midiyaanitti baqatee galtuu taʼee achi jiraate; achittis ilmaan lama dhalche.
30 And 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 And when Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord,
Innis waan kana arginaan waan arge sana dinqifate. Yommuu ilaaluuf itti dhiʼaatettis sagalee Gooftaa dhagaʼe.
32 I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
Sagaleen sunis, ‘Ani Waaqa abbootii keetii, Waaqa Abrahaam, kan Yisihaaqii fi kan Yaaqoob’ jedheen. Museenis ni hollate; ilaaluus ni sodaate.
33 And the Lord said unto him, Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest 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 which is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them: and now come, I will send thee into 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 thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent [to be] both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel which 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 forth, having wrought wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness 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, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me.
“Museen kun isuma saba Israaʼeliitiin, ‘Waaqni sabuma keessan keessaa raajii akka kootii tokko isinii kaasa’ jedhe sanaa dha.
38 This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto 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 thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt,
“Abbootiin keenya garuu isaaf ajajamuu didan; qooda ajajamuu isa tuffatanii garaa isaaniitiinis gara Gibxitti deebiʼan.
40 saying unto Aaron, Make us gods which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, which led us forth out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
Arooniinis, ‘Waaqota nu dura deeman nuu tolchi; Museen Gibxii nu baase sun maal akka taʼe hin beeknuutii!’ jedhan.
41 And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice unto 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 up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer unto me slain beasts and sacrifices 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 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.
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 appointed who spake unto Moses, that he should make it according to the figure 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 on the possession of the nations, which God thrust out before the face of our fathers, unto 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 favour 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 Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in [houses] made with hands; as saith the prophet,
“Taʼus Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii mana harki namaa ijaare keessa hin jiraatu; kunis akkuma raajichi akkana jedhee dubbatee dha:
49 The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: What manner of house will ye build me? saith 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 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
“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? and they killed them which shewed before of the coming of the Righteous One; of whom ye 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 ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not.
warri karaa ergamoota Waaqaatiin seera fudhattanii seera sanaaf ajajamuu diddanis isinuma.”
54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
Isaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼanitti aariin guggubatanii isatti ciniinnatan.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly 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 said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Innis, “Ani kunoo samiin banamee, Ilma Namaas isaa mirga Waaqaa dhaabatee jiru nan arga” jedhe.
57 But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
Kana irratti isaan hundi gurra isaanii qabatanii sagalee guddaan iyyaa isatti girrisan.
58 and they cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down 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 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [the Lord], and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Isxifaanosis utuu isaan dhagaan isa tumaa jiranuu, “Yaa Gooftaa Yesuus, hafuura koo fudhadhu” jedhee kadhate.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And 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.
