Acts 7
1 And the high priest said, Are these things so?
Untekesi umbaha akajova, “sinomuvomba isi sakyang'ani?” U Stefano akajova, vanyalukoo numue va Nata vango, mumulikisighe uneune:
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,
U NguluveNguluve uwalwimiko aliya muhumile uNata ghwitu Abrahamu unsinki ghuno alyiale ku Mesopotamia, ye naikalile ku Harani,'
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.
akambula, vukugha mu iisi Jakob navanyalukolo vako ulutaghe mu iisi jino kumwa nikukusona'.
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:
Pe akabuka mu iisi ija Ukaldayo akikala ku Harani, kuhuma apuo ye afyuila u Nata ghwa muenhe, uNguluve akamuleta mu iisi iji, jino vikukala lino.
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.
Nalyampelile name kimonga ikya vuhosi vwamwene, napwalia nambe jumonga apa kubiika ulughulu. Loli u Abraham alyafingilue ye akyiale nambe kuhola umuana ulwakuva ipelua iisi jive vutema vwa mwenhe na vanha va muenhe.
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.
U Nguluve alyajovile naghuope ndiki, ulwakuti avanha va mwenhe valikala mu iisi ija vuhesia, ulwakuti avanya iisi jila vikuvavikagha kuva vakami vavanave na kuvavomba fivi munsiki ughwa make filundu finhe.
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.
Naju Nguluve akajova, nilikuvahighagha ikisina kino kivavikile vagalulua, pano sikilile isio apuo pe vilihumagha na pikufunya kuliune mu iisi iji.'
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.
Akam'pela u Abrahamu ulufingo ulwa kukeghetua, apuo u Abrahamu akava vise ghwa Isaka akakegheta ikighono ikya lekela kuoni; U Isaka akava vise ghwa Yakobo, nhu Yakobo akava vise ghwa visukulu vitu kijigho na vavili.
9 And the patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him,
Avisukulu vitu vakam'bonela igila uYusufu vakamughusia mu iisi ija Misiri, na ju Nguluve alyale palikimo nhumwene,
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.
kange akamwavula mu mumuko sa Vene, akmpela ulunyamasio nhu vufwihu pavolongolo pa Farao Ntuwa u ghwa Misiri. U Farao akombuike kuva n'temi mu Misiri na munyumba ijamuene joni.
11 Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
Lol pejiliale injala imbaha kiongo nhi mumuk inyinga mu iisi ja Misiri namu Kanani nava Nhata viitu vakapatile ifyakulia.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.
Loli u Yakobo ye apulike kuti kwekile ikyakulia ku Misiri alyavomuile avaNhata.
13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s race became manifest unto Pharaoh.
Ye vaghendile uYusufu akihufiagha kuvanyalukolo va mwene, ulukolo ulwa Yusufu lukakagula kwa Farao.
14 And Joseph sent, and called to him Jacob his father, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
U Yusufu akavomola avanyalukolo va mwene kuluta kukum'bula u Yakobo nhu vise ghuvanave ise ku Misir, palikimo navanyalukolo vamwene, palikimo na vanhu voni valyale ifijigho n'dekela lubale navahano.
15 And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself, and our fathers;
Loli uYakobo akika kuMisiri pe akafua umwene palikimo nava Nhata viitu.
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.
Vakatolua vakaluka ku Shekemu vakasyilula mu mbipa jino uAbrahamu valyaghulile ni ndalama kuhuma kuvanha vaHamari kuula ku Shekemu.
17 But as the time of the promise drew nigh, which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Amasiki agha lufingo Lula ghano Unguluve alyafingine nhu Abrahamu ye ghulipipi, avanhu pano vakava vongelile ku Misri.
18 till there arose another king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
Unsiki ughuo alyatemile ujunge uNtuwa Misri, uNtuwa Juno alyankaguile u Yusufu.
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.
u Ntua ujunge ujuo akavadengania avanhu vitu name vavombi ava Nhata vitu, no kuvatagha avana vavanave avafyiele kuti valeke kukukala.
20 At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and he was nourished three months in his father’s house:
Unsiki ghulaghula uMusa akaholuagha; alyilealyile nofu pavulongolo pa Nguluve, akalelua mesi ghatatu munyumba ija vise.
21 and when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
Unsiki ghuno alyataghilue, umwalive Farao alyatolilue akamulela huene mwanake.
22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and works.
U Musa alyavulanisivue imanyilo soni isa Misri; alyale nikufu kumasio na kumbombele.
23 But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
Loli yekwaline amaka fijigho fine' lukamwisila munumbula jamwene kuvaghendela vanyalukolo vake, Alana ava Israeli.
24 And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:
Ye amwaghile umu Israeli ivombelua fiivi, uMusauMusa akan'tanga name kuvangulila akalumbila kwa juno alyam'bonile akantova umMisiri.
25 and he supposed that his brethren understood how that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.
Akisaghilagha kuti vanyalukolo va mwene vikagula kuti u Nguluve ikuvavula mu luvoko ulwa mwene, loli navalyalumanyile.
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?
Ikighono kino kikafingile akaluta kuvamo va Israeli valyale vilua, akaghela kuvasambania; akatisagha, mwevatua, umue mulilukolo; kiiki mupungana jumuejumue kwa jumue?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Loli juno alyamokiile um'bading'ani ghwa mwene akavadighulilagha kuvutali, na akajova, 'Ghweveni juno akuvikile piva ntemi kange piva meghi ghwitu?
28 Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
Uve ghuloda pikum'buda, ndavule WA mbuda umuMisri Pammie?”
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
U Musa akakimbila ye asipulike isio; akava mesia mu iisi ja Midiani, apuo pe akava vise ghwa vanha vavili.
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.
Ye ghakilile amaka ifijigho fine, unyamola akamuumila mulukuve lwa kidunda ikya Sinai, mululapi ulwa mwoto munkate mukianji.
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,
Unsiki ghuno u Musa alyaghuvuene umuoto, alyadeghagha na pikudegha kiongo kind alyakivuene, panopano akaghelagha kuti akiveleleele ulwakuti akilole, ilisio lya Mutwa likamwisila likati,
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.
'Une nili Nguluve wava NhataNhata vako, Nguluve ughwa Abrahamu, nhu Isaka, nhu Yakobo; uMusa alyatetime nakaghela nambe kulola.
33 And the Lord said unto him, Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
U Mutwa akam'bula, full ifilato fyiako, apuo pano ghwimile pimike.
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.
Nisaghile imumuko sa vanhu vango vino vali ku Misri, nipulike kutamua kuvanave, unenikile ulwakuti nivavule; lino isagha, nekwomola uve ku Misri.'
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.
U Musa uju Juno valya n'kanile, unsiki ghono valyajovile, 'ghweveni juno akakuvombile piva n'temi kange mulamusi ghuitu?' alyale ghwe Nguluve Juno alyamwomwile ave n'temi kange m'poki. U Nguluve alyamwomwile muluvoko lwa vanyamola Juno aliya muhumile uMusa mukihanji.
36 This man led them forth, having wrought wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
U Musa alyavalongwisie kuhuma ku Misri ye akiiale kuvomba ifidegho ni kidegho mu Misri name mulusumba ilya Shamu, na mulukuvi mu nsiki ughwa maka fijigho fine.
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.
Ghwe Musa uju juno alyavavulile avanhu va mu Israeli kuva, uNguluve ilikumwimia um'bili kuhuma mu lyumue muvanyalukolo vinhu, um'bili ndavule unhe'.
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:
Uju ghwe munhu juno alyale mukipugha kya lukuvi nhu nyamola juno alyajovile nhu mwene mukidunda ikya Sinai. Uju ghwe munhu Juno alyale nava Nhata vitu, uju ghwe munhu alyupile ilisio linolilyale nhu vumi na kutupela usue.
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt,
Uju ghwe munhu juno ava Nhata vitu valyankanile kukumuleva, valyantaghile kuvutali, na munumbula sivanave sino silyagevukile ku Misri.
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.
Munsiki ughuo valyam'bulile u Haruni.' ututendele amatekelo ghano ghikutu longosia. U Must ujuo, juno alyale ikutulongosia kuhuma mu iisi ja muMisri, natukagula kinokimwaghile.'
41 And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
ApuoApuo pevakatenda indama kufighono ifio pe vakahumiagha ilitekelo kukihwani ikio pe vakahovokagha ulwakuva vavombile imbombo sa mavoko gha vanave.
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?
Loli uNguluve alyavahambusie na pikuvapela vino vikufunya kunondue isakukyanya, ndavule lilyalembilue mikitabu kya vaviili, 'vuli munyumikisie une amatekelo agha fidimuafidimua finofino mulyabudile ku lukuve ku nsiiki ughwa maka fijigho fine, munyumba ja Israeli?
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.
Mwitike ihema ijakukong'ania ija Moleki ni nondue ija Nguluve u refani, nakikihuani kino mukatendile na pikufunya kuveene: pe nikavatwalagha kuvutali kukila kubabeli.'
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.
Ava Nhata vitu valyale nihema ija kukong'anile ija vwolesi kulukuve, ndavule u Nguluve alyavalaghile pano alyajovile nhu Musa, kuuti ngale alyatendile mu kihwani kino alyakyaghile.
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;
Iji je hema jino avaNhata viitu, munsiki ghwave, valyatwalile mu iisi nhu Joshua. Isi silyahumile amasiki ghanovalingile kutema ikisiina kino uNguluve alyavadughile ava nhata viitu yevakyale kuviikua. uluo lulyale ndiki m'paka kufikila mufighono fya Daudi,
46 who found favour in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
juno alitikisivue nhunhu Nguluve pa Mason ghake, pe akasuma kulonda uvukalo Kwan Nguluve ughwa Yakobo.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Loli uSelemani alyanjengile inyumba ja Nguluve.
48 Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in [houses] made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Loli umwene juno alyale kukyanya na ikukala munyumba sino sijengilue na mavoko; ulu lulindavule up'biili alyajovile.
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?
Uvulanga kye kitengo kyango ikya vuTua, iisi je jakuvika amaghulu ghango. Jiva nyumba je jilindani mukunjengela?, u Mutwa ijova: nakuva kwekughi kulyune ukwakupumila?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?
Na lweluvoko lwango lunoluvombile ifi fioni?'
51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Umwe mwe vnhu mwe vanya sing inyuumu mwe vano namudumulivue inhumbula ni nimbung'ulutu, January mukunkana uMhepo Mwimiike,' muvomba ndavule ava nhata vunhu valyavombile.
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;
M'biili veni muva viili juno avanhata viinu navalyampumwisie? Valyavabudile avaviili vanovalyavahumile yeye akyale pikuisa jumo unyavwakyang'ani,' nalinolino mulivahindami kange mulivabudi vamweene,
53 ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not.
umuewe vanhu mwevano mukupile indaghilo sila sino silyaghuile nhumunyamola loli namukajikola.”
54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
Loli avatua va pa vuhighighi ye vapulike amasio agha inhumbula sivsnave silya vavile kyiongo, vaka gwenulila amino u Stefano.
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,
Loli umwene, ye amalile uMhepo uMwimike, akalola vunono kukyanya akavwagha uvwimike vwa Nguluve,' napikumbona u Yesu imile kuluvoko ulwa kundio ulwa Nguluve.
56 and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
U Stefano akajova, “Lolagha nivwaghile uvulanga vudindwike, najumwana wa Adam imile uluvoko lwa kundio ulwa Nguluve.”
57 But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
Loli avahighi va vahighi vakovela kyongo ni lisio ilikome, vakadinda imbughulutu sivanave, vakankimbiliila palikimo.
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.
Vakantagha kunjikunji kulikaja pe vakadijavakadija na mavue: navavolesi va kafula ameanda gha vanave aghakunji nakuvikapasi pipi na maghulu agha nsoleka juno akatambuluagha Sauli.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [the Lord], and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Pano valyale vikun'tova u Sitefano namavue, pe akaghendelela pikunkemela uMutwa akajova, “Mutwa Yesu, upila inhumbula jango,”.
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.
Akafughama namafundo akakemela nilisiio ilivaha, “Mutwa nhungavavalililaghe uvuhosi uvu.” Ye ajovile isio akafwisagha.
