Acts 7
1 Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are the things that [these people are saying about you(sg)] true?”
Тунчи баро рашай пушля Стэфанос: — Када чячес кадя?
2 Stephen replied, “Fellow Jews and respected leaders, [please] listen to me! The glorious God [whom we(inc) worship] appeared to our ancestor Abraham while he was still [living] in Mesopotamia [region], before he moved to Haran [town].
Вов пхэндя: — Пхрала и дада, выашунэнтэ! Кала амаро дад Авраамо инке на пэрэтрадя андо Харано и жувэлас андэ Месопотамия, Дэл славако авиля лэстэ
3 God said to him, ‘Leave this land where you [(sg)] and your relatives [are living], and go into the land to which I will lead you.’
и пхэндя: «Ужа пай пхув тири и лэ родостар тирэстар и жа кай пхув, сави Мэ тути сикавава».
4 So Abraham left that land, [which was also called] Chaldea, and he arrived in Haran and lived there. After his father died, God told him to move to this land in which you [and I] are now living.”
Тунчи вов жыля пай пхув халдеёндири и авиля андо Харано. Ай котар, кала муля лэско дад, о Дэл пэрэандярдя лэс андэ кадья пхув, андэ сави тумэ икхатар жувэн.
5 “[At that time] God did not give Abraham any [land here], not even a small plot of [this] land that would belong to him. God promised that he would [later] give this land to him and his descendants, and that it would [always] belong [to them. However], at that time Abraham did not have any children [who would] ([inherit it/receive it after he died]).”
И на дя лэсти пэр латэ нисаво котор пхув, а пхэндя, со отдэла кадья пхув лэсти и лэстирэ бэяцэнди тунчи, кала вов инке сас бибэяцэнго.
6 “[Later] God told Abraham, ‘Your descendants will go and live in a foreign country. They [will live there] for 400 years, and [during that time their leaders] will mistreat your descendants and force them to work as slaves.’
И пхэндя лэсти о Дэл: «Тирэ бэяцэ авэна найчяченца андэ найпэстири пхув, и лэн терэна бутярнэнца, и онэ андярэна грыжа штаршэл бэрша.
7 But God [also] said, ‘I will punish the people who make them work as slaves. Then, after that, your descendants will leave [that land] and they will [come and] worship me in this land.’”
Нэ Мэ, — пхэндя о Дэл, — авава тэ сындосарав кодва народо, кастэ онэ авэна бутярнэнца, и тунчи онэ выжана и авэна тэ тэлён Манди пэ кадва тхан».
8 “Then God commanded Abraham that [every male in his household and all of his male descendants] should be circumcised [to show that they all belonged to God] and that they would obey what he had told Abraham to do. Later Abraham’s son, Isaac, was born, and when Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him. [Later] Isaac’s son, Jacob, was born, and Isaac [similarly circumcised] him. And Jacob [similarly circumcised] his twelve sons. They are the twelve men [from whom we(inc) Jews have all descended].”
Тунчи Вов дя лэсти завето тэ обшынэлпэ. Авраамо, кала бэяндиля Исаако, обшындя лэс андо охто дес. Кав Исаако бэяндиля Иаково, ай кав Иаково — дэшудуй патриархоря.
9 “[You know that] Jacob’s [older] sons became jealous [because their father favored their younger brother] Joseph. So they sold him [to merchants/traders who took him] [MTY] to Egypt. There he became a slave [of an official who lived there]. But God [helped] Joseph.
Патриархоря завистятар битиндэ Иосифос андо Египто. Нэ Дэл сас лэса
10 He protected him whenever people caused him to suffer. He enabled Joseph to be wise; and he caused Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to think well of Joseph. So Pharaoh appointed him to rule [over] Egypt and to look after all of Pharaoh’s property [MTY].”
и фэрисардя лэс всаворя грыжатар. Вов дя Иосифости годи и мищимос англав фараоно, тхагар египтонэнго. Ай кодва тердя лэс пхурэдэрэса андо Египто и андо всаворо пэско чер.
11 “[While Joseph was doing that work], there was a time (when there was very little food/of famine) throughout Egypt and also throughout Canaan. People did not have enough food to eat. People were suffering. [At that time] Jacob and his sons [in Canaan] also could not find [enough] food.
Тунчи авиле бокхалимос и бари грыжа пэ всаворэ пхувья Египто и Ханаано. Амарэ дада никай на аракхэнас хамос.
12 When Jacob heard [people report that] there was grain/food [that people could buy] in Egypt, he sent Joseph’s older brothers [to go there to buy grain. They went and bought grain from Joseph, but they did not recognize him. Then they returned home].
Кала Иаково ашундя, кай андо Египто исин марно, вов бишалдя кордэ амарэ дадэн екх моло.
13 When Joseph’s brothers went to Egypt the second time, [they again bought grain from Joseph]. But this time [he] told them who he was. [And] people told Pharaoh that Joseph’s people were Hebrews [and that those men who had come from Canaan were his brothers].
Ай сар онэ авиле авэр моло, Иосифо отпхэрнадяпэ пэстирэ пхралэнди, и фараоно ужангля пала Иосифоско родо.
14 Then after Joseph sent [his brothers back home, they] told their father Jacob [that Joseph wanted] him and his entire family to come [to Egypt. At that time] ([Jacob’s family consisted of] 75 people/there were 75 people in Jacob’s family) [SYN].
Тунчи Иосифо бишалдя и акхардя пэстирэс дадэс Иаковос и всаворо пэско родо, савэс сас эхтадэш панч манушэн.
15 [So when] Jacob [heard that, he and all his family] went to [live in] Egypt.” Acts 7:15b-16 “[Later on], Jacob died [there], and our [other] ancestors, [his sons, also died there].
Иаково авиля андо Египто. Котэ муле вов и дада амарэ.
16 [But] the bodies [of Jacob and Joseph] were brought {[they] brought the bodies [of Jacob and Joseph]} [back to our land], and [Jacob’s body] was buried {they buried [Jacob’s body]} [in the tomb that Abraham had bought, and they buried Joseph’s body] in Shechem in the ground that [Jacob] had bought from Hamor’s sons.”

17 “Our ancestors had become very numerous when it was almost time for [God to rescue them] from Egypt, [as] he had promised Abraham that he would do.
И сар майпашэ сас вряма, кала тердяпэ кода, пала со Дэл солахалас лэ Авраамости, амарэн манушэн ашэлас майбут андо Египто,
18 Another king had begun to rule in Egypt. He did not know that Joseph, [long before that time, had greatly helped the people of Egypt] [MTY].
жыкай кодья вряма, сар андо Египто вазгляпэ авэр тхагар, саво на жанэлас Иосифос.
19 That king cruelly tried to get rid of our ancestors. He oppressed them and caused them to suffer greatly. He [even commanded] them to leave their baby [boys] outside [their homes] so that they would die.”

20 “During that time Moses was born, and he was a very beautiful [LIT] [child]. So his parents [secretly] cared for him in their house for three months.
Андэ кадья вряма бэяндиля Моисеё, вов сас шукар англав Дэл. Трин шон лэс праварэнас андо чер лэстирэ дадэстэ.
21 Then they had to put him outside [the house, but] Pharaoh’s daughter [found him and] adopted him and cared for him as [though he were] her own son.
А сар сас шуто, лэс ля щей фараоностири и барярдя лэс, сар пэстирэс шавэс.
22 Moses was taught {[The Egyptian teachers] taught Moses} many kinds of wise things [HYP] that the people in Egypt knew, and [when he grew up], he spoke powerfully and did things powerfully.”

23 “[One day] when Moses was about 40 years old, he decided that he would [go and] see his fellow Israelis. [So he went to the place where they worked].
Сар лэсти ашыля саранда бэрш, авиля лэсти по води тэ авэл кай пэстирэ пхрала, шавэ Израилёстирэ.
24 He saw an Egyptian beating one of the Israelis. So he went over to help [MTY] the Israeli man who was being hurt/beat {whom [the Egyptian] was hurting/beating}, and he (got revenge on/paid back) the Israeli man by killing the Egyptian [who was hurting/beating him].
И удикхля, сар екхэсти лэндар египтянино терэлас бида. Вов тэрдиля пала лэстэ, отпотиндя вражымарести и умардя египтянинос.
25 Moses was thinking that his fellow Israelis would understand that God had sent him to free them [from being slaves]. But they did not understand that.
Вов гындолас, лэстирэ пхрала полэна, со Дэл лэстирэса вастэса дэл лэнди фэрисаримос, нэ онэ на полинэ.
26 The next day, Moses saw two Israeli men fighting [each other]. He tried to make them stop fighting by saying to them, ‘Men, you two are fellow [Israelis! So] (stop hurting each other!/why are you hurting each other?) [RHQ]’
Пэ авэр дес, кала коисавэ андай лэндэ марэнаспэ, вов авиля и закамля тэ андярэл лэн кав миро, пхэндя: «Муршалэ, тумэ ж пхрала! Пэр со терэн бида екх екхэсти?»
27 But the man who was injuring the other man pushed Moses away and said to him, ‘(No one appointed you [(sg)] to rule and judge us [(exc)]!/Do you [(sg)] think someone appointed you [(sg)] to rule and judge us [(exc)]?) [RHQ]
Нэ кодва, ко терэлас бида лэ пашутнэсти, отшутя лэс пэстар тай пхэндя: «Ко тут тховдя пхурэдэрэса и сындомареса паша амэндэ?
28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
Чи на камэс ту и ман тэ умарэс, сар арати умардян египтянинос?»
29 When Moses heard that, [he thought to himself, ‘Obviously, people know what I have done, and someone will kill me.’ He was afraid, so] he fled [from Egypt] to Midian land. He lived there [for some years]. He [got married, and he and his wife] had two sons.”
Кала Моисеё ашундя кала лава, вов нашля тай ашыляпэ тэ жувэл андэ пхув Мадиамо, котэ андэ лэстэ бэяндиле дуй шавэ.
30 “[One day] 40 years later, [the Lord God appeared as] an angel to Moses. He appeared in a bush that was burning in the desert near Sinai Mountain.
Кала прожыля саранда бэрша, андэ мал, пашав плай Синаё кав Моисеё авиля ангело андэ яг, сави пхаболас андо пусаимаско кустарнико.
31 When Moses saw that, he was greatly surprised, [because the bush was not burning up]. As he went over to look more closely, he heard the Lord [God] say [to him],
Моисеё дивосайля, кала удикхля када. Вов поджыля тэ подикхэл пэ када и ашундя котар гласо лэ Раеско:
32 ‘I [am] the God [whom] your ancestors [worshipped]. I [am] the God that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob [worship].’ Moses [was so afraid that he] began to shake. He was afraid to look [at the bush any longer].
«Мэ Дэл тирэ дадэнго, Дэл Авраамоско, Исаакоско и Иаковоско». Моисеё тиноласпэ даратар и на ваздэлас пэстирэ якха.
33 Then the Lord [God] said to him, ‘Take your sandals off [to show that you(sg) revere me]. Because I [am here], the place where you are standing is holy/sacred.
Рай пхэндя лэсти: «Злэ пэрналэ пай тирэ пэрнэ, колэсти со пхув, пэ сави ту тэрдёс — свэнто.
34 I have surely seen how the people of Egypt are continually causing my people to suffer. I have heard my people when they groan [because those people continually oppress them]. So I have come down to rescue them [from Egypt]. Now get ready, because I am going to send you [back] to Egypt [to do that].’”
Мэ дикхлем, сар стасавэн Мэрно народо андо Египто, и ашундэм лэско ровимос, и авилем тэ фэрисарав лэс. Ай икхатар жа, Мэ бишалав тут андо Египто».
35 “This Moses [is the one who had tried to help our Israeli people, but] whom they rejected [by saying], ‘No one [RHQ] appointed you to rule and judge [us!’] Moses [is the one whom] God [himself] sent to rule them and to free them [from being slaves. He is the one whom] an angel in the bush [commanded to do that].
Калэс Моисеёс, савэстар онэ отпхэндэпэ лавэнца: «Ко тховдя тут пхурэдэрэса и сындомареса?» — Дэл бишалэл сар пхурэдэрэс и фэрисаримарес черэз ангелос, саво сикадиля лэсти андав пусаимаско кустарнико.
36 Moses [is the one who] led our ancestors out [from Egypt]. He did many kinds of miracles in Egypt, at the Red Sea, and during the 40 years [that the Israelite people lived] in the desert.
Кадва выандярдя лэн тай тердя диворя и шпэры андэ пхув Египто, и андо Лоло море, и андэ мал саранда бэрш.
37 This Moses is the one who said to the Israelite people, ‘God will appoint a prophet for you from among your own people. [He will speak words from God], just like I [speak his words to you].’
Када кодва Моисеё, саво пхэндя шавэнди Израилёстирэнди: «Андай тумарэ пхрала о Дэл тховэла тумэнди пророкос, сар тховдя ман».
38 This man [Moses] was [our people’s leader] when they gathered together in the desert. It is Moses to whom [God sent] the angel on Sinai Mountain to [give him our laws], and [he was the one who told] our [other] ancestors [what the angel had said]. He was the one who received [from God] words that tell us how to live [eternally, and Moses] passed [them] on to us.”
Када кодва, саво стидяпэ андэ мал лэ амарэнца дадэнца и лэ ангелоса, саво дэлас дума лэса по плай Синаё. Када вов приля жундэ лава, кай тэ пэрэдэл амэнди.
39 “[However], our ancestors did not want to obey [Moses]. Instead, [while he was still on the mountain], they rejected him [as their leader] and decided that they wanted to return to Egypt.
Амарэ дада на закамле тэ кандэн Моисеёс, нэ отшутэ лэс тай тходэ андо води тэ рисавэн андо Египто.
40 So they told [his older brother] Aaron, ‘Make idols for us who will be our gods to lead us [back to Egypt]! As for that fellow Moses who led us out of Egypt we [(exc)] do not know what has happened to him!’
Онэ пхэндэ Аароности: «Стер амэнди дэвлэн, савэ жана англай амэндэ, пала кода со амэ на жанас, со тердяпэ лэ Моисеёса, саво выандярдя амэн андай Египтостири пхув».
41 So, they made [out of gold] an image [that looked like] a calf. Then they sacrificed [animals and offered other things] to [honor] that idol, and they sang and danced to honor the idol that they themselves had made.
Ай андэ кола деса онэ стердэ гурувэс тай андэ жэртва идолости и лошавэнас колэсти, со стердэ пэстирэ вастэнца.
42 So God rejected them. He abandoned them to worship the sun, moon and stars in the sky. This agrees with the words that one of the prophets wrote that God said, You Israelite [people] [MTY], when you [repeatedly] killed animals and offered them as sacrifices during those 40 years [that you were] in the desert, (you [most certainly] were not offering them to me!/what makes you think that you were offering them to me?) [RHQ]
Дэл отрисайля лэндар и ашадя лэн тэ тэлён чергаенди пав болыбэн, сар пистросардо андэ лила пророкондирэ: «Чер Израилёско! Чи зашынэнас тумэ, чи анэнас жэртворя всаворэ саранда бэрш андэ мал?
43 [On the contrary], you carried [with you from place to place] the tent [that contained the idol] representing [the god] Molech [that you worshipped]. You also [carried with you] the image of the star [called] Rephan. [Those] were idols that you had made, [and you] worshipped [them instead of me]. So I will [cause you to] be taken away {[people to] take you} [from your own country. You will be taken] {[They will take you]} [far from your homes to regions] even farther than Babylon [Country].”

44 “While our ancestors were in the desert, they worshipped God at the tent that showed [that he was there with them]. They had made the tent exactly like God had commanded Moses [to make it. It was] exactly like the model that Moses had seen [when he was up on the mountain].
Амарэ дадэндэ андэ мал сас Катуна Допхэнимастири. Кодва, Ко дэлас дума Моисеёса, припхэндя лэсти тэ терэл ла пав образо, саво кодва дикхля.
45 [Later on], other ancestors of ours carried that tent with them when Joshua led them [into this land]. That was during the time that they took this land for themselves, when God forced the people [who previously lived here] to leave. So the Israelis were able to possess this land. [The tent remained in this land and was still here] when [King] David ruled.
Кала амарэ дада прилинэ кадья Катуна, онэ и Исусо Навиёско заандярдэ ла андэ пхув народонэн, савэн Дэл вытрадя англай лэндэ. Кадя сас кай и вряма Давидостири,
46 David pleased God, and he asked God to let him build a house where [he and] all of our Israeli people could worship God.
саво аракхля мищимос англав Дэл и мангэлас Лэстар, кай тэ аракхэл чер важ о родо Иаковоско.
47 But [instead, God let David’s son] Solomon build a house [where people could worship] God.”
Ай о чер Лэсти стердя Соломоно.
48 “However, [we(inc) know that] God is greater than everything, and he does not live in [houses that] people [SYN] have made. It is like the prophet [Isaiah] wrote. He wrote [these words that God had spoken: ]
Нэ Майбаро на жувэл андэ чера, савэ тердэ манушэнца. Пророко пхэнэл пала када:
49 Heaven is (my throne/the place from which I rule the entire universe), and the earth is (my footstool/[merely like] a stool on which I may rest my feet). I myself [SYN] have made everything [both in heaven and on the earth]. So you [human beings], ([you] really cannot build a house that would be [adequate] for me!/do you think you can build a house that would be [appropriate] for me?) [RHQ] You cannot [RHQ] make a place good enough for me [to live in]!”
«Болыбэн — Мэрно троно, и пхув — када тхан, кай Мэ тховав Пэстирэ пэрнэ! Саво чер тумэ терэна Манди? — пхэнэл о Рай. — Кай тэ авэл тхан Мэ тэ чиював?

51 “You people are extremely stubborn [MET], not wanting to obey God or listen [MTY] [to him!] You are exactly like your ancestors! You always resist the Holy Spirit [as they did]!
Тумэ — найкандунэ мануша барунэ воденца и затердэ канэнца! Тумэ всавори вряма вэрицайвэн Свэнтонэ Духости, сар тумарэ дада, кадя и тумэ!
52 Your ancestors caused [RHQ] every prophet to suffer, [including Moses]. They even killed those who long ago announced [that the Messiah] would come, the one who always did what pleased God. [And the Messiah has come! He is the one whom] you [recently] turned over [to his enemies] and [insisted that] they kill him!
Кас андай пророкоря на гонисарэнас тумарэ дада? Онэ умардэ колэн, савэ пэ англал пхэнэнас, со авэла Чячимаско, ай икхатар тумэ прэдинэ тай умардэ Лэс!

54 When the Jewish Council members [and others there] heard all that [Stephen said], they became very angry. They were grinding their teeth [together because they were so angry] at him!
Кала онэ ашунэнас када, холятар росшынэнас водя и стасавэнас данда.
55 But the Holy Spirit completely controlled Stephen. He looked up into heaven and saw a dazzling light from God, and [he saw] Jesus standing at God’s right side.
Стэфано, пхэрдярдо Свэнтонэ Духоса, вазгля якха по болыбэн тай дикхля слава Дэвлэстири и Исусос, Саво тэрдёлас пай право риг Дэвлэстар.
56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open, and I [see] the one who came from heaven standing at God’s right side!”
— Дикхэн, — пхэндя вов, — мэ дикхав отпхэрнадо болыбэн и Шавэс Манушыканэс, Саво тэрдёл пай право риг Дэвлэстар.
57 [When the Jewish Council members and others heard that], they shouted loudly. They put their hands over their ears [so that they could not hear Stephen, and immediately] they all rushed at him.
Нэ онэ зацыписардэ зоралэ гласоса, затердэ пэстирэ кана и екхэтанэ хукле пэр лэстэ.
58 They dragged him outside the city [of Jerusalem] and started to throw stones at him. The people who were accusing him [took off] their outer garments [in order to throw stones more easily, and] they put their clothes [on the ground] next to a young man whose name was Saul, [so that he could guard them].
Онэ выандярдэ лэс палай форо и ашыле тэ шон андэр лэстэ бара. Допхэнимаря тховдэ пэстири йида кай пэрнэ тэрнэ манушэсти, савэс акхарэнас Савло.
59 While they continued to throw stones at Stephen, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
Кала онэ шонас андо Стэфано бара, вов приакхардя Исусос: — Рай Исусо! Прилэ духо мэрно!
60 Then Stephen fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not punish them (OR, forgive them) [LIT] for this sin!” After he had said that, he died.
Тунчи пэля пэ чянга и фартэ зацыписайля: — Рай, мэк на авэл пэр лэндэ кадва бэзэх. Вов пхэндя кала лава и муля.
