Acts 7
1 Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are the things that [these people are saying about you(sg)] true?”
Basa ma malangga monaeꞌ agama Yahudi natane Stefanus nae, “Ara kalaak ho naa, tebꞌe, do hokoꞌ?”
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].
Stefanus nataa nae, “Amaꞌ no toronoo nggare! Rena au dei. Dalahulu na, hita baꞌi na Abraham nda feꞌe lao hela kambo na sa, te Lamatualain mana seliꞌ, natudꞌu ao na neu e. Ana parenda e nae, ‘Lao hela nusa ma ia, ma bobꞌonggi mara. Lao leon, misiꞌ nusaꞌ esa dei fo au utudꞌu neu nggo!’ Naa de baꞌi Abraham lao mia rae Mesopotamia, fo lali nisiꞌ kota Haran.
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.’
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.”
No taꞌo naa, ana lao hela atahori Kasdim ra nusa na, de lali nisiꞌ kota Haran. Ama bꞌonggi na mate ma, Lamatualain no e nisiꞌ nusaꞌ Kanaꞌan. Nusaꞌ Kanaꞌan ia, rae fo amaꞌ ra ro toronooꞌ ra leoꞌ ia.
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]).”
Leleꞌ naa Lamatualain nda banggi rae hangga esa saꞌ boe fo dadꞌi baꞌi Abraham pusaka na sa. Te Lamatualain helu nae dei fo fee rae ia neu baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosi nara fo dadꞌi rae pusaka. Te leleꞌ naa baꞌi Abraham nda feꞌe ma anaꞌ sa.
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.’
Te Lamatualain olaꞌ no e nae, ‘Tititi-nonosi mara dei fo leo sia atahori feaꞌ ra nusa na. Boe ma atahori naa ra tuni-ndeni se, losa tao se dadꞌi ata nara ma tao se nda maloleꞌ sa losa too natun haa.
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.’”
Dei fo au huku-doki hatahori mana tao tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi ate. Boe ma tititi-nonosi mara lao hela nusaꞌ naa, ma baliꞌ risiꞌ rae Kanaꞌan ia fo hule-oꞌe roꞌe makasi neu Au.’
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].”
Lamatualain olaꞌ basa ma, Ana tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ no sunat fo dadꞌi bukti oi Abraham se dadꞌi Lamatualain atahori Na ena. Naa de, leleꞌ Abraham ana na Isak, feꞌe fai falu, ana sunat e.

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.
Lao esa ma, hita bei-baꞌi nara rala nara mera mbali odi nara Yusuf. De ara seo e dadꞌi ate sia rae Masir. Te Lamatualain nda lao hela e sa.
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].”
Ana mboꞌi e mia basa sususaꞌ ra, ma fee ne mahineꞌ fo nahine dalaꞌ naeꞌ. Huu naa, mane Masir a sue e, de soꞌu e dadꞌi lima onan sia rae Masir. Ana o toꞌu koasa sia maneꞌ a ume panggat na.
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.
Basa naa ma fai ndoes nema laꞌe rae Masir ma rae Kanaꞌan. Fai ndoes, naseliꞌ tebꞌe, de atahori hetar susasona sia bee-bꞌee. Naa de hita bei-baꞌi nara nda hambu raa saa saꞌ boe.
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].
Te baꞌi Yakob rena oi nanaat sia rae Masir. Boe ma ana denu ana nara, fo hita bei-bai nara, reu hasa nanaat sia naa.
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].
Ara hasa basa ma, ara baliꞌ. Ara raa hendi basa nanaat ra ma, Yakob denu se reu hasa seluꞌ sia Masir. Dei de Yusuf feꞌe nafadꞌe se nae, eni sira odꞌi bonggi na. Ma fee mane Masir a nahine se.
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].
Basa naa ma, Yusuf noꞌe ama na no odꞌi-aꞌa nara lali Masir reu. Basa se atahori hitu nulu lima.
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].
De Yakob se lali Masir reu. Basa de, hita bei-baꞌi nara mate mia naa.
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.
Stefanus olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Basa ia ra dadꞌi, huu Lamatualain helu basa nae, dei fo Eni fee mamanaꞌ naa neu Abraham dadꞌi rae pusaka. Deka fai fo Lamatualain natetuꞌ helu-fuli Na naa, hita atahori Yahudi ra boe ramaheta sia rae Masir ena.
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].
Leleꞌ naa, mane feuꞌ sa toꞌu parendaꞌ sia Masir. Te nda nahine Yusuf sa.
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.”
Maneꞌ naa tabꞌu-roroo hita atahori nara. Ma ana tuni-ndeni hita bei-baꞌi nara. Ana o parenda se no deres fo nggari hendi ana mana bꞌonggi feu nara, fo ara mate.
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.
Leleꞌ naa, baꞌi Musa ina na bonggi e. Aꞌo na meulau na seli. Ama-ina na nda tungga maneꞌ a parenda na sa. Ara raꞌaboi raꞌafuniꞌ e sia ume losa fula telu.
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.
Basa ma ara nda afiꞌ raꞌafuniꞌ rala e sia ume sa ena, de mboꞌi hendiꞌ e. Te mane Masir ana feto na nita e, de naꞌabꞌoi e onaꞌ ana bonggi na.
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.”
Naa de atahori Masir ra ranori sira mahine nara basa se neu Musa. De ana dadꞌi atahori manaseliꞌ, mahineꞌ ma masiꞌet boe.
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].
Musa too haa nulu boe ma, ana nae neu nahine atahori Israꞌel nara.
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].
Ana neu ma nita atahori Masir esa momoko atahori Israꞌel sa. Ana neu tulun eni atahori na, ma nisa atahori Masir a.
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.
Ana duꞌa nae neꞌo atahori nara bubꞌuluꞌ Lamatualain denu eni, fo neu tulu-fali se mia sususaꞌ. Te ara nda feꞌe bubꞌuluꞌ sa.
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]’
Mbila ma, Musa neu seꞌu seluꞌ atahori nara. Ana nita atahori nara rua rafetu. De ana sobꞌa nadꞌameꞌ ruꞌa se nae, “Wee! Hei ruꞌa nggi, odꞌi-aꞌa. Te taꞌo bee de mifetu taꞌo ia?”
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]
Te atahori mana momoko nonoo na timba baꞌi Musa nisiꞌ suuꞌ neu, de nae, ‘Seka soꞌu nggo dadꞌi hai malangga ma? Ma seka soꞌu nggo dadꞌi hai mana maꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat ma?
28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
Mbei ma ho mae misa au, onaꞌ ho misa atahori Masir a afis a, do?’
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.”
Musa rena taꞌo naa, ma ana fela lao hela Masir. Ana neu leo sia atahori Median ra nusa na. Basa ma, ana sao sia naa, de bonggi ana touꞌ rua.
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.
Too haa nulu boe ma, Musa nisiꞌ mamana madꞌaꞌ esa deka no leteꞌ sa, naran lete Sinai. Sia naa Lamatualain ate Na esa mia sorga neu nandaa no e mia ai sia hau anaꞌ sa rala. Hau a nenelalanggeꞌ, te nda kadꞌe sa.
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],
Musa nita ma, ana ndii-ndiiꞌ a. Ana neu deka fo nae nahine saa sia naa. Aiboiꞌ ma, ana rena Lamatualain olaꞌ mia ai rala nae,
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].
‘Au ia, bei-baꞌi mara Lamatualain na. Baꞌim Abraham, Isak, ma Yakob beꞌutee neu Au.’ Musa rena ma, ana namatau de ao na nggeꞌe-nggeꞌe, ma nda nambarani botiꞌ mata na fo mete hau mana lalanggeꞌ naa sa.
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.
Boe ma Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, ‘We Musa! Ho ririi sia rae meumareꞌ. De olu hendi laopei ma!
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].’”
Seꞌu te mae Au liliiꞌ Au atahori Israꞌel ngga sia Masir a. Hokoꞌ! Au feꞌe usunedꞌa se. Au bubꞌuluꞌ doidꞌoso nara ma rena hara hule-oꞌe nara. De Au ae mboꞌi se. Uma dei! Au ae denu baliꞌ nggo Masir muu.’
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].
No taꞌo naa, Lamatualain natudꞌu ao Na mia ai rala ma parenda Musa fo baliꞌ Masir neu. Lamatualain dudꞌu e neu mboꞌi atahori Israꞌel mia doidꞌoso nara. Musa ia, fo maꞌahulu na atahori ra ratane rae, ‘Seka soꞌu nggo dadꞌi hai malangga ma?’ Ia naa Lamatualain mana soꞌu e!
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.
Basa naa boe ma, Musa baliꞌ Masir neu. Ana tao mana dadꞌiꞌ ra seli sia naa. Basa ma, ana no atahori Israꞌel ra lao hela Masir. Ara lao tungga Tasi Mbilas, ma laoꞌ ndule mamana rouꞌ ra losa too haa nulu.
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].’
Musa nafadꞌe atahori Israꞌel ra rae, ‘Dei fo Lamatualain soꞌu atahori sa sia hei taladꞌa ma, fo dadꞌi mana ola-ola Na, onaꞌ Ana soꞌu au ia.
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.”
Musa naꞌabꞌue no hita atahori Israꞌel nara sia mamana rouꞌ ra. Ana dadꞌi leleteꞌ fee hita bei-baꞌi nara ro Lamatualain ate Na mia sorga. Ate naa naꞌondaꞌ Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌola Na neu Musa sia lete Sinai. Dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ naa, mana natudꞌu hita dala masodꞌaꞌ ndos.
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.
Mae taꞌo naa o, hita bei-baꞌi nara nda nau rena Musa sa. Ara nda simbo e sa, de rae baliꞌ Masir reu.
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!’
Basa naa ma, ara reu kokoe Harun rae, ‘Amaꞌ odꞌi na Musa no hai lao hela rae Masir. Te ia naa, hai nda bubꞌuluꞌ ana sia bee saꞌ boe. Dadꞌi hai moꞌe fo amaꞌ tao fee hai sosonggoꞌ, fo ana mana nalalao hai.’
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.
De ara tao sosonggoꞌ, mata na onaꞌ sapi anaꞌ. Ara tunu-hotu banda ma feta-dote fee sosonggoꞌ a. Ara maꞌahee ro saa fo sira tao ao nara.
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]
Lamatualain nita taꞌo naa ma nasadꞌea se. De ara songgo sudꞌi a saa sia lalai onaꞌ relo, fulan, ma nduuꞌ. Onaꞌ o Lamatualain hela se taꞌo a naa ena.

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].
Stefanus olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Lamatualain natudꞌu baꞌi Musa mamana Hule-Oꞌeꞌ esa rupa na. De Musa se rafefela Lalaat Hule-Oꞌeꞌ esa mia banda rouꞌ no temeꞌ tungga rupaꞌ naa.

Losa naa, ara rafefela seluꞌ Lalaat a.
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.
Dꞌodꞌoo ma, leleꞌ Yosua se ratati ro atahori feaꞌ sia nusa Kanaꞌan ma, Lamatualain oi hendi atahori naa ra. Basa de, Lamatualain babꞌanggi nusaꞌ naa neu hita bei-baꞌi nara.

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.

47 But [instead, God let David’s son] Solomon build a house [where people could worship] God.”
Te ana na Soleman mana nafefela Ume Hule-Oꞌe Huuꞌ a.
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: ]
Hita bubꞌuluꞌ tae, Lamatualain leo sia mamanaꞌ nanarun seli. Ana nda leo sia ume fo atahori taoꞌ sa. Huu maꞌahulu na, mana ola-ola Na esa suraꞌ hela rae,
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]!”
‘Lalai a, Au kadera parenda ngga. Raefafoꞌ a, Au ei tatabu ngga. Taꞌo bee de hei mae mifefela ume esa nandaa Au leo sia naa? Nda bisa sa.

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]!
Stefanus olaꞌ seluꞌ, ma bua se nae, “Hei langga fatu mara seli! Onaꞌ atahori nda mana rahine Lamatualain sa, ma nda nau rena E sa. Hei akaꞌ labꞌan E, onaꞌ bei-baꞌiꞌ mara mana rasadꞌea E. Ia naa hei feꞌe mae labꞌan Dula-dale Meumare Na, do?
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!

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!
Atahori mana endoꞌ sia mamana nggero dedꞌeat a rena Stefanus oꞌola na, ma rahine rae ana fee salaꞌ neu se. De rala nara mera ma rangginggio.
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.
Te Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumare Na dai Stefanus ena. Ana oroꞌa mete lalai a. De nita Lamatualain mandete-masaꞌan, no Lamatuaꞌ Yesus nambariiꞌ sia Lamatualain bobꞌoa ona Na, sia mamana nenefee hadat naa.
56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open, and I [see] the one who came from heaven standing at God’s right side!”
Ana olaꞌ nae, “Ama nggare. Au ita lalai a sii, ma Atahori Matetuꞌ a nambariiꞌ sia mamana nenefee hadat sia Lamatualain bobꞌoa ona Na.”
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.
Atahori mana endoꞌ sia naa ra rena ma, ara oꞌoo ndiki nara. Ara nggasi denu Stefanus oꞌoo bafa na. Basa se teteek fo rae aꞌame Stefanus.
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].
Ara lea rendi e nisiꞌ kota a deaꞌ. Sakasi ra olu badꞌu nara, de fee ana soruꞌ esa nara na Saulus toꞌu. Ana dadꞌi sira mana natatale na. Boe ma reu mbia Stefanus.
59 While they continued to throw stones at Stephen, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
Ara feꞌe mbia Stefanus, ma ana randu nahereꞌ nae, “Lamatuaꞌ Yesus! Au fai ngga deka ena. Simbo mala au!”
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.
Boe ma ana naꞌaloli napadilu neu lululangga na, de randu nahereꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ, afiꞌ fee se lemba-dꞌoi salaꞌ ia!” Basa ma, hahae na etu, ma ana mate.
