Acts 7
1 And the High-priest said—Are these things, so?
Omugabhisi omukuru naika, “amagambo ganu ni ge chimari?”
2 And, he, said—Brethren and fathers, hearken! The God of Glory, appeared unto our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, —
Stephano naika, “Bhaili na bhalata bhani, muntegereshe anye: Nyamuanga wa rikusho amusoromokeye lata weswe Abrahamu omwanya gunu aliga ali Mesopotamia, anu aliga achali kwikara Harani,
3 And said unto him—Get thee forth, out of thy land, and from among thy kindred, and come unto the land which, unto thee, I will point out.
'namubhwira, 'Soka mu chalo chao no luganda lwao ugende mu chalo chinu nilakwelesha'.
4 Then, coming forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran; and, from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, in which, ye, now dwell;
Eile nasoka mu chalo Bhukaldayo nekala Harani, okusoka ao, anu esemwene ejile afwa, Nyamuanga namuleta mu chalo chinu, bhekayemo wori.
5 And gave him no inheritance therein, not even a place to set his foot on; and yet promised to give it unto him in possession, and unto his seed after him, when as yet he had not a child.
Atamuyanile chone chone kuti mugabho gwaye, litabheyeo ebhara ryo kutulao nolwo kuguru. Nawe Abrahamu namuraga omurago gwo kumuyana okuitunga insi anu aliga achali kwibhula omwana ati kayabhwa omwene no rwibhulo lwaye.
6 But God, spake thus—His seed shall be a sojourner in a foreign land, and they will bring it into bondage, and ill-treat it four-hundred years;
Nyamuanga aikile nage kutya, ati orwibhulo lwaye abhekara munsi yo bhugenyi, na lindi abhekasi bhendeyo abhabhakora kubha bhagaya bhebhwe no kubhakorera kubhibhi mu masinja ge myaka magana gana.
7 And, the nation unto which they shall be in bondage, will, I, judge—said God; and, after these things, shall they come forth, and render divine service unto me, in this place.
Ka Nyamuanga naika ati, eniliramura liyanga linu elibhakora bhagaya, okusokerera ao abhamba okundamya mwi bhara linu.
8 And he gave unto him a covenant of circumcision; and, thus, he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs.
Namuyana Abrahamu liragano lyo okusalwa, ku lwejo Abrahamu nabha lata wa Isaka namusala ku rusiku lwa munana; Isaka nabha lata wa Yakobo, na Yakobo nabha lata wa bhasaja bheswe ekumi na bhabhili.
9 And, the patriarchs, being jealous of Joseph, gave him up into Egypt; and, God, was, with him,
Bhasaja bheswe nibhamukorera lifua Yusufu mbamugusha mu chalo cha Misiri, na Nyamuanga aliga ali amwi nage,
10 And rescued him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt and all his house.
namukisha mu nyako jaye, namuyana obhwekisi no bhwengeso imbele ya Farao omukama wa Misiri. Farao namukora kubha mutungi inguru ya Misiri na inguru ya inyumba yae yone.
11 And there came a famine upon all Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers could not find pasture.
Mbe nibhao injara nene na jinyako nyafu mu chalo cha Misiri na Kanani, mbe bhalata bheswe bhatabhwene ebhiryo.
12 But Jacob, hearing there was corn in Egypt, sent off our fathers, first;
Mbe nawe Yakobo ejile ongwa ati bhiliyo ebhiryo Misiri, nabharagirira bhalata bheswe ku lwo kwamba.
13 And, the second time, Joseph was made known unto his brethren, and, the race of Joseph was made, manifest, unto Pharaoh.
Mu rugendo lwa kabhili Yusufu neyeresha ku bhaili bhaye, imbaga ya Yusufu nimenyekana ku Farao.
14 And Joseph, sending forth, called for Jacob his father, and all the kindred, consisting of seventy-five souls;
Yusufu nabharagirira abhaili bhaye bhagende okumubhwira Yakobo lata webhwe agende Misiri, amwi no ruganda lwaye, obhukumi bhwebhwe abhanu makumi musanju ne tanu.
15 And Jacob went down [into Egypt]. And he died, he, and our fathers;
Ku lwejo Yakobo neka Misiri; neya nafwa omwene amwi na bhalata bheswe.
16 And were brought over into Shechem, and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased, for a price of silver, of the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
Nibhagegwa okugenda Shekemu mbasikwa mu chituro echo Abrahamu agulile ne bhibhara bhya jimpirya okusoka ku bhana bha Hamori eyo Shekemu.
17 Now, just as the time of the promise was drawing near wherewith God had agreed with Abraham, the people grew, and were multiplied in Egypt, —
Akatungu kaliya ako omurago ogwo Nyamuanga alagire Abrahamu gwejire gwerira, abhanu bhaliga bheyongesishe eyo Misiri,
18 Until there arose another sort of king over Egypt, who had not known Joseph.
akatungu ako emukireyo omukama undi inguru ya Misiri, omukama unu atamumenyaga Yusufu.
19 The same, dealing craftily with our race, ill-treated our fathers, so as to cause their babes to be exposed, to the end they might not be suffered to live.
Omukama oundi oyo nabhajiga abhanu bheswe no kubhakorera amabhibhi bhalata bheswe, no kubhesa abhana bhebhwe abharera korereki bhatabha bhaanga.
20 In which season, Moses, was born, and was exceeding goodly, —who was nourished up three months in the house of his father;
Mu masinja ago Musa ebhuywe; aliga ali we kisi ku Nyamuanga, nalelwa mesi gasatu munyumba ya lata waye.
21 But, when he was exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh rescued him, and nourished him for herself, as a son.
Mu katungu kanu eselwe, omuyansha wa Farao namugega namulela lwo mwana waye.
22 And, so Moses was trained in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his words and works.
Musa eigisibhwe ameigisho gone ge chi Misiri; aliga ali na managa mu kwaika ne bhikorwa.
23 And, when there was being fulfilled unto him a period of forty years, it came up on his heart to look after his brethren the sons of Israel;
Mbe nawe ejile akumisha myaka makumi gana, nongwa mu mwoyo gwaye okubhalibhatira abhaili bhaye, abhana bha Israeli.
24 And, seeing one being wronged, he defended him, and avenged him that was getting worn out, smiting the Egyptian.
Ejire amurora omwisraeli nakorerwa amabhibhi, Musa namwimako nasubhya risungu kuyo aliga namwibhonera kwo kumubhuma Omumisiri:
25 But he supposed his brethren would understand that, God, through his hand, would give them deliverance; whereas they understood not.
neganirisha ati abhaili bhaye abhamenya ati Nyamuanga kabhakisha no kubhoko kwaye, mbe nawe bhatamenyere.
26 On the following day also, he appeared unto them, as they were contending, and would have reconciled them in peace, saying—Men! ye are, brothers! Wherefore wrong ye one another?
Orusiku runu lwarubhire nagenda ku bhamwi bha Bhaisraeli bhanu bhaliga nibharwana; naregeja okubhagwatanya; naika ati, 'Bhamura, Emwe muri bhaili; kubhaki omurwana emwe bhenera kwa bhene?'
27 But, he that was wronging his neighbour, thrust him away, saying—Who hath appointed, thee, to be ruler and judge over us?
Mbe nawe unu amukaiye omwikashanya waye m/namusindika kura, naika ati, “Niga unu akukorere kubha mutungi no muramusi weswe?
28 Art, thou, wishing, to kill me, in the same way thou didst kill, yesterday, the Egyptian?
Awe owenda okunyita, lwa kutyo wameta Omumisiri ligoro?”
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
Musa nabhirima ejile ongwa kutyo; nabha mugenyi munsi ya Midiani, ao abheye lata wa bhana bhabhili.
30 And, when forty years were fulfilled, there appeared unto him, in the desert of Mount Sinai, a messenger, in a flame of fire, in a bush.
Jejire jaturao myaka makumi gana, malaika namusoromokera mwi bhara lye chima cha Sinai, mwi bhesi lyo muriro agati ya lisaka.
31 And, Moses, seeing it, marvelled at the sight; and, as he was going near to observe, there came a voice of the Lord—
Mu katungu kanu Musa ejire arora omuriro, narugura muno no kutang'ang'ara kulwe bhiroro ebhyo alorere, mbe nawe ejire alegeja okwirira yei korereki arore, obhuraka bhwa Katabhugenyi nibhumujako nibhwaika ati,
32 I, am the God of thy fathers, The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. And Moses becoming, terrified, durst not observe.
'Anye nanye Nyamuanga wa bhesomwana bhao, Nyamuanga wa Abrahamu, no wa Isaka, no wa Yakobo.' Musa nayarara atasubhire kurorayo.
33 And the Lord said unto him—Loose the sandals of thy feet; for, the place whereon thou art standing, is, hallowed ground.
Latabhugenyi namubhwira, 'Nufure ebhirato bhyao, libhara linu wimereguyu ni bhara lyeru.
34 I have, indeed seen, the ill-treatment of my people that is in Egypt, and, unto their groaning, have I hearkened, and have come down to rescue them. Now, therefore, come! I will send thee into Egypt.
Nalorere jinyako ja bhanu bhani bhanu Misiri; enungwa okulwara kwebhwe, anye neka korereki nibhakishe; olyanu ija, nikutume awe Misiri.'
35 The same Moses whom they had refused, saying—Who hath appointed thee to be ruler and judge? the same, both as ruler and redeemer, did God send, by the hand of the messenger who had appeared unto him in the bush:
Musa unu bhamuremere, omwanya gunu bhaikile ati, 'niga unu akukorere kubha mutungi no muramusi weswe?' Oyo niwe oyo Nyamuanga amutumire kwo kubhoko kwa malaika oyo amusoromokee Musa mwisaka.
36 The same, led them forth, doing wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the desert, forty years:
Musa abhatangasishe okusoka Misiri anu akorere amarebha ne bhibharikisho mu charo cha Misiri na munyanja ya Shamu, na mwibhara kwa masinja ga myaka makumi gana.
37 The same, is the Moses that said unto the sons of Israel—A prophet, unto you, will God raise up, from among your brethren, like unto me:
Musa unu niwe abhabhwiriye abhana bha Israeli ati, 'Nyamuanga keja okwimusha omuragi okusoka mubhamwi bha bhaili bhanyu, omuragi lwanye.'
38 The same, is he that came to be in the assembly in the desert, with the messenger who was speaking with him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, he who welcomed living utterances, to give unto us:
Unu niwe omunu unu aliga ali mwikofyanya lya mwibhara na malaika unu aromere nage mu chima cha Sinai. Unu niwe omunu oyo aliga ali na bhalata bheswe, unu ni munu unu aramiye omusango gunu guri muanga no kuchiyana eswe.
39 Unto whom, our fathers would not become obedient, but thrust him away, and turned in their hearts unto Egypt,
Unu niwe omunu unu bhalata bheswe bharemere okumungwa; nibhamusindikira kura, na mumyoyo jebhwe nibhaindukira Misiri.
40 Saying unto Aaron—Make as gods who shall go before us; for, as for this Moses who brought us forth out of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him!
Mu masinja ago nibhamubhwira Haruni, 'nuchikonjere ebhiungu bhinu bhilachitangasha. Musa oyo, aliga nachitangasha okusoka mu charo cha Misiri, chitakumenya jinu jamubhona.'
41 And so they fell to calf-making in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
Kutyo nibhakonja inana mu nsiku ejo na nibhasosha jisadaka ku chisusano echo nibhakondelwa kwo kubha ni milimu ja mabhoko gebhwe.
42 But God, turned, and delivered them up to be doing divine service unto the host of heaven, —just as it is written in a book of the prophets—Victims and sacrifices did ye offer unto me, forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?
Mbe nawe Nyamuanga abhainduye nabhayana bharamye jinyota ja murwire, lwa kutyo jandikilwe mu chitabho cha bharagi, 'Angu mwansosisishe anye jisadaka ja jintyanyi jinu mwabhagire mwi bhara mu masinja ge myaka makumi gana, inyumba ya Israeli?
43 Nay! but ye took with you the tent of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, —the forms which ye made to bow down unto them: therefore will I carry you away beyond Babylon.
Mwekirisishe liyema lya Moleki na inyota ya mungu refani, ebhisusano bhinu mwekonjee no kubhiramya ebhyo: mbe nawe enija obhasira arera kura Babeli.'
44 The tent of witness, was with our fathers in the desert, according as he who was speaking unto Moses, gave instructions, to make it, according to the model which he had seen.
Bhalata bheswe bhaliga bhali na liyema lyo kwikofyanyisha lwo bhubhambasi mwi bhara, lwa kutyo Nyamuanga aragirie anu aromere na Musa, ati akakonjere lwe chijejekanyo chinu alorere.
45 Which our fathers succeeding to, also brought in, with Joshua, when taking possession of the nations, which God put out from before our fathers until the days of David;
Linu ni yema linu bhalata bheswe, kwa masinja gebhwe, bhaleterwe mu charo na Joshua. Jinu jabhonekere mwisinja linu bhengiye okutunga liyanga linu Nyamuanga abhirimishe anu bhaliga bhachali kubhao bhalata bheswe. Jinu jabhee kutyo kukinga mu nsiku ja Daudi,
46 Who found favour before God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
unu abhwene okwikirisibhwa mu meso ga Nyamuanga, nasabhwa okuyenja obhwikaro ku Nyamuanga wa Yakobo.
47 But, Solomon, built him a house.
Mbe nawe Selemani amumbakiye inyumba ya Nyamuanga.
48 Although indeed, the Most High, not in hand-made places, dwelleth; just as, the prophet, saith—
Nolwo kutiyo unu ali inguru atakwikara mu nyumba jinu jumbakilwe na mabhoko; inu ni kutyo omuragi aikire,
49 Heaven is my thrown, and, the earth, is my footstool: What manner of house, will ye build me, saith the Lord, —Or what shall be the place of my resting?
Orwire ni chitebhe chani cho bhukama, na insi ni bhara lyo kutako amaguru gani. Inyumba nisusana kutiki inu omunyumbakira? Kaika Omukama: amwi ni bharaki lyani lyo kwisishako omwoyo?
50 Hath not, my hand, made all these things?
Kutari kubhoko kwani kunu kukorere ebhinu bhinu bhyona?
51 Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in hearts and in ears, ye, always, against the Holy Spirit, do strive! As your fathers, ye also:
Emwe abhanu bhe bhicha bhikomeye bhanu mutatenderwe emyoyo na matwi, bhuli katungu omumurema Omwoyo Omweru, omukora lwa kutyo bhesomwana bhakorere.
52 Which of the prophets, did not your fathers persecute? Yea they slew them who declared beforehand concerning the coming of the Righteous One—of whom, now, ye, have become, betrayers and murderers!
Ni muragiki mu bharagi unu bhesomwana bhatamunyasishe? Bhabhetire abharagi bhone bhanu bhejire anu aliga achali kwija owo bhulengeresi, ka wolyanu mwabheye bharomesi bha niku na bheti bhaye,
53 Who, indeed, received the law through ranks of messengers, —and guarded it not.
emwe abhanu bhanu mwaramiye echiragiro chiliya charagiriwe na malaika mbe nawe murema okuchigwata.
54 And, while they were hearing these things, they were being pierced in their hearts, and began gnashing their teeth against him.
Anu abhe chinyanjo bhejire bhongwa amagambo ganu, nibharumwa mu myoyo jebhwe, nibhamugugunila ameno Stefano.
55 But he, being already full of Holy Spirit, looking steadfastly into heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God;
Mbe nawe omwene ejuye Omwoyo Omweru, nararamira mu rwire nekeneke narora rikusho lya Nyamuanga, namurora Yesu emereguyu mu kubhoko kwo bhuryo kwa Nyamuanga.
56 And said—Lo! I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man, standing, on the right hand of God.
Stefano naika ati, “Rora narora orwire rwigukire, no Mwana wo Munu emereguyu mu kubhoko kwe bhuryo kwa Nyamuanga.”
57 And, crying out with a loud voice, they held their ears, and rushed with one accord upon him;
Mbe nawe abhe chinyanjo nibhayogana no bhuraka bhwa inguru, nibhasibhya amatwi gebhwe, nibhamubhirimira bhona amwi,
58 And, thrusting him forth outside the city, proceeded to stone him. And, the witnesses, laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
nibhamwesa anja yo musi nibhamubhuma na mabhwiyi: abharoresi nibhafura emyenda jebhwe ja anja nibhatura mu maguru go musigaji oyo abhirikirwaga Sauli.
59 And they stoned Stephen, as he was invoking and saying—Lord Jesus! give welcome unto my spirit.
Anu bhaliga nibhamubhuma amabhwiyi Stefano, agendeleye okumubhirikira Omukama naika ati, “Omukama Yesu, ramira omwoyo gwani.”
60 And, kneeling down, he cried out with a loud voice—Lord! do not charge against them, this sin. And, having said this, he fell asleep.
Nafung'ama ebhiju no kubhirikira kwo bhuraka bhunene, “Omukama, utabhabharira echibhibhi chinu.” Ejile aika kutyo, nabhutura omwoyo.
