< Acts 7 >

1 The high priest said, “Are these things true?”
Kahniwotsatsi naasho Ist'fanossh, «Eteets keewan arikeya?» eton bíaati.
2 Stephen said, “Brothers and fathers, listen to me: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran;
Ist'fanosuwere hank'o ett bísh bíaniyi, «Ti eeshuwotsnat tnihotso! aab taan k'ewere! Nonih Abraham Karan datsatse beyosh bíamfetsre shino shin Mesp'et'omiya eteets datsatse b́ befere Mangts Ik'o bísh be'eyat
3 he said to him, 'Leave your land and your relatives, and go into the land that I will show you.'
‹N datsatse keer, n jagatse k'alyarr, taa neesh t kitsit datsats amee› bí eti.
4 Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran; from there, after his father died, God brought him into this land, where you live now.
Manoor Keledawiyots datsatse kesht Karani eteets datsats be b́wtsi, b́ nih b́k'irihakonowere Ik'o Karanitse kisht hambets it beyiru datsanats bín dek'et b́weyi.
5 He gave none of it as an inheritance to him, no, not even enough to set a foot on. But he promised—even though Abraham had no child yet—that he would give the land as a possession to him and to his descendants after him.
Wotowabako dab tufi need'okok'o bodts rstiyo bísh imatse, b́wotefere datsani bínat bíyere il b́ naarosh rstiyo woshde'er b́imetuwok'o taarre b́teshi, bísh b́taaruwere Abraham na'o b́ detsfetsere shine.
6 God was speaking to him like this, that his descendants would live for a while in a foreign land, and that the inhabitants there would bring them into slavery and treat them badly for four hundred years.
B́ naaronuwere ash datsatse gooshtsi wotar b́beetuwok'o datsmanatsnowere awd bal natosh guuts woshde'er was'o kayde'er boon bokewituwok'o bísh keewure b́ teshi.
7 'But I will judge the nation that they serve,' said God, 'and after that they will come out and worship me in this place.'
Manats dabtnwere, ‹Guuts woshde'er b́ keewit ashuwotsats angshitwe, datsmanatse keer hanoke taan ik'itúne› ett Ik'o keewre.
8 Then God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, so Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of the twelve patriarchs.
Gof ami taaronowere bísh bími, mansha Abraham Yishak'i b́shuwor shimtl aawots gofo b́daamiyi, Mank'o b́ naayi Yisak'i gofo b́daamiyi. Yak'obuwere b́ jir tatse gitetsuwotsi gofo b́damyi.
9 Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him into Egypt; but God was with him
«Yak'ob nanaúwots bo eshuwi Yosefi okoort Gbs' datsatsere guutso b́ wotituwok'o bokemi, Ik'onmó bíntoniye b́ teshi,
10 and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who had made him governor over Egypt and over all his household.
Gond bek' jamotse bín b́ kishi, Gbs' naasho Fer'on shinatsere baatsonat danitelefo bísh bi'imi. Naashonuwere Gbs'nat b́ maa jamatse alituwo bín b́woshi.
11 Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great suffering, and our fathers could find no food.
Manór Gbs'nat Kene'an dats jamatse ayidek't ash kic'its k'ak'i eeno b́ woti, no nihuwotsuwere misho daatsosh falatsne.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers on their first trip.
Ya'ak'obwere Gbs'itse mááyo b́ beyok'owo b́ shishtsok'on tuwreerosh nonihotsi manok b́ woshi.
13 On their second trip Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
Aani gitlo aanat Gbs'i bo amor Yosef b́ eshuotsesh b́ tooko b́ daneyi, jag bowotonúwere Fere'onokere b́ daneyi.
14 Joseph sent his brothers back to tell Jacob his father to come to Egypt, along with all his relatives, seventy-five persons in all.
Maniye hakon Yosef b́ nihi, Yak'obnat b́ jag jamo b́mandan dek't b́weyi, bo bojametsuwre shabe úts ashno.
15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, he and our fathers.
Mansh Yak'ob Gbs' maantsan bí ami, bínat no nihwotsn manoke bok'iri.
16 They were carried over to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a price in silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
Bomak'tsonowere Sekem maantsan dek'amt Abraham Sekemn Emor nan'úwotsoke b́ gizon b́keewts doowots dukeyi.
17 As the time of the promise approached, the promise that God had made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Ik'o Abrahamsh taart b́ jangitso wotit aawo b́ t'inor Gbs'n beyiru ashuwots taawo ayefere bí ami.
18 until there arose another king over Egypt, a king who did not know about Joseph.
Man b́ wotwere Yosefi danawo k'osh Nugúso Gbs'n b́ naashefetsoniye.
19 He deceived our people and forced our fathers to expose their newborn infants so they would not be kept alive.

20 At that time Moses was born; he was very beautiful before God and was nourished for three months in his father's house.
Manór Muse b́ shuweyi, bíwere Ik'i shinatse na'i az sheenge b́teshi, keez shashonowre b́nihi meyitse b́ eeni,
21 When he was placed outside, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and raised him as her own son.
Uratso juu k'irewor Fereon mááts naú k'audekat b́ naayik'o woshdek'at b ditsi.
22 Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and works.
Musewwere Gbs' datsi dani teleef jamo danb́dek'i, b́ keewiru keewonat b́ finonowere kup' wotb́wtsi.
23 But when he was about forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
«Muse hab nato b́ s'eentsok'on bí eshuwotsi Israe'el nana'úwotsi s'iilo b́ tuwi.
24 Seeing an Israelite being mistreated, Moses defended him and avenged him who was oppressed by striking the Egyptian:
Bí eshuwotsitse ikonuwere Gbs' dats ash ikon t'uk'eyat was'o b́kashefere bek't bísh b́ gatsi, t'uk'eetsmanshowere weero weersht Gbs' dats asho togdek't b́úd'i.
25 he thought that his brothers would understand that God by his hand was rescuing them, but they did not understand.
Ik'o b́ weeron boon b́ fakshiyituwok'o b́ jaguwots t'iwints bodek'etuwok'owa bísh araatni b́ tesh, bomó t'iwintsratsno.
26 On the next day he came to some Israelites as they were quarreling; he tried to put them at peace with each other; he said, 'Men, you are brothers; why are you hurting one another?'
Yaats guurok'onowere Israe'el ash gitetsuwots bo atsatseyo bo fayefere daatsdek't bonbaziyo geeyat ‹It ashuwtso! itwo eshu itnere, eegishe itfayeyiri?› bíet.
27 But the one who had wronged his neighbor pushed him away, and said, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
B́ tooho togiru ashman Museyi okaan gifnit ‹Neenmó noon alituwonat noatse angshituwo kone nee wosh?
28 Would you like to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'
Oots Gbs' dats asho núd'tsok'o taanowere úd'osh geefiya?› bíet.
29 Moses ran away after hearing this; he became a foreigner in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
Muse man b́shishtsok'on Gbs'itse kesht Midiyam datsomants amt gooshtsi wotat b́beeyi, Manoke nungush nana'a gituwotsi b́shuwi.
30 When forty years were past, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
«Muse datsmanatse hab nato b́beshiyakon Debre Sin woruwotse aat'iru t'ugi atatsi tawi laluwotse melaki iko b́be'eyi.
31 When Moses saw the fire, he marveled at the sight; and as he approached to look at it, there came a voice of the Lord, saying,
Muse man b́bek'tsok'on bíadi, karndek't b́s'iilorowere hank'o etiru Doonzo k'aro b́shishi,
32 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob.' Moses trembled and did not dare to look.
‹Taahe nnihotsko Izar Izewer taane, Abarhamko Izar Izewer, Yisahak'ko Izar Izewer, Yak'obko Izar Izewer taane, › Muse were shatoon k'ewub́wutsi, s'iloshowere aawo shu'atse.
33 The Lord said to him, 'Take off the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
Doonzonuwere hank'o b́ eti, ‹N ned'iruwok man S'ayin datso b́ wottsotse n tufitsi c'aamo kishuwe,
34 I have certainly seen the suffering of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them; now come, I will send you to Egypt.'
Gbs'itse fa'a ti ashuwots weralo gond bo bek'iruwok'o bek're, kic'at bo kuhirwono shishre, mansh boon kashiyosh oot're, andoor wowe! taa neen Gbs'its woshona.›
35 This Moses whom they rejected, when they said, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?'—he was the one whom God sent as both a ruler and deliverer. God sent him by the hand of the angel who appeared to Moses in the bush.
«Israe'el ashuwotsu Musesh ‹Neen noats altsonat angshituwon woshtso kone?› Eton bín k'efatni botesh, wotowa boko t'ugi atatse bísh be'ets melakiyo jangon alituwonat nas' kishituwon woshdek't bomandan bín b́ woshi.
36 Moses led them out of Egypt, after doing miracles and signs in Egypt and at the Sea of Reeds, and in the wilderness during forty years.
Gbs'nat Aats k'ar birokere aditsonat milikito finat bí ashuwotsi kish dek't hab natosh dats woruwtse jishtso Museyiye b́ teshi.
37 It is the same Moses who said to the people of Israel, 'God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, a prophet like me.'
‹Doonzo Izar Izewer taan b́ tiztsok'o mank'o it eshuwotsitse nebiyiyo itsh tuuzitwe› ett Isra'el ashuwots keewutso Museyiye b́teshi.
38 This is the man who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel who had spoken to him on Mount Sinai. This is the man who was with our fathers; this is the man who received living words to give to us.
Woruwotse kakuwedek't teshts ashuwotsntonat Sin guri abaatse keewuts Ik'i melakiyonton animank'o no nihotsnton teshtso bíne. Ik'o keewuts kash imetu aap'o noosh beshitsonuwere un bíne Museyiye.
39 This is the man whom our fathers refused to obey; they pushed him away from themselves, and in their hearts they turned back to Egypt.
«No nihots bína bok'efibako bísh aleratsnee, Bonibotsnowere Gbs' maants aano bo gawi.
40 At that time they said to Aaron, 'Make us gods who will lead us. As for this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'
Aronshowere ‹Noon Gbs'itse kishts Muse han eeg bíyats bodtsok'o no danawotse noshin shinatse sha'arr noon jishituwo Izar izewerotsi noosh doozwe› bo eti.
41 So they made a calf in those days and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced because of the work of their hands.
Manór manz aron dozets Ik'o doozdek't bísh wosho bo t'intsi, bokishi finonowere bogenee'úwi.
42 But God turned and gave them up to worship the stars in the sky, as it is written in the book of the prophets, 'Did you offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices for forty years in the wilderness, house of Israel?
Ik'onmó boatse k'aleniye b́wutsi. Daritsi k'eenwotssh bo ik'ituwok'o boon beshidek't bími. Manwere Nebiywotsn hank'o ett guut'etsok'one, ‹It Israe'el ashuwotso! Shúkeets gizonat woshon Hab nati s'eenosh woruwotse it t'ints tasheya?
43 You accepted the tabernacle of Molech and the star of the god Rephan, and the images that you made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.'
Dek'at it amtso Molok gofonat Refani eteef k'enon it arits it ik'oniye b́ teshi, Bowere it kishon findek'at, It boosh it boosh sagadat it teshts ik'irwotsiye, Taawere Babloniye ok it gishetuwok'o woshituwe.›
44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, just as God commanded when he spoke to Moses, that he should make it like the pattern that he had seen.
«No nihots woruwotse gawi gofu detsfne b́ teshi, gofmanuwere Ik'o b́ keewutsok'onat b́ kitstsok'o bin fintso Museyiye b́ teshi.
45 Later, our fathers, under Joshua, received the tabernacle and brought it with them when they took possession of the land. God took the land from the nations and drove them out before the face of our fathers. The tabernacle remained in the land until the time of David,
Ik'o boshinatse b́ gishts Ik' ash Woteraw ashuwots datso bo nator no nihots bodek'ts gofani Iyasunton manok bo kindshi, Dawit dúro b́ borfetsosh manoke b beyi.
46 who found favor in the sight of God, and he asked if he might find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
Dawituwere Ik' shinatse baatso daatst Yak'ob Ik'o Izar Izewersh k'ewok wotit moo agosh Ik'o b́ k'oni.
47 But it was Solomon who built the house for God.
Ernmó Ik'í maa agtso Solomoniye.
48 However, the Most High does not live in houses made with hands, as the prophet says,
«B́woteferor jam falts Ik'onmó ash kishon ageets moots beerake, manwere Nebiyon hank'o ett guut'etsoniye,
49 'Heaven is my throne, and the earth is the footstool for my feet. What kind of house can you build for me? says the Lord, or what is the place for my rest?
‹Daro t be jooroniye, Datsonuwere t tufi ned'oke, Eshe ááwu naari mee taash it agetuwoni?› ‹Bíyok t kashituwokonu awuk'one?› Etfe Doonzoni.
50 Did my hand not make all these things?'
‹Jaman taa t kishon t finkoshna?› Bíeti Ik'oni.
51 You people who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit; you act just as your fathers acted.
«It wed'etswotso it nibo is'etswotso! it k'el kúp'uwotso! it nihuwotskok'o jam aawo S'ayin shayiro it k'efiri.
52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed the prophets who appeared in advance of the coming of the Righteous One; and you have now become the betrayers and murderers of him also,
Nebíyiwotsitse it nihots bo gisherawo kone fa'oni? boowere kááw finetsman b́ weetuwok'o shin keewutswotsi boúd'i, It were and kááwu finetsan beshidek' imaat it úd'i.
53 you people who received the law that angels had established, but you did not keep it.”
It Ik'i melakiwots weeron Muse nemo dek'at it teshi, ernmó kotde'atste.»
54 Now when the council members heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they ground their teeth at Stephen.
Mooshiru jirwots han boshishtsok'on nibo k'únbowutsi, Ist'ifanosi fayat bí'ats gasho bo shas'i.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up intently into heaven and saw the glory of God; and he saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
Ist'ifanosmó S'ayin shayiron s'eent daro maantsan kawudek't s'iilt, Ik'i mango darotse b́bek'i, Iyesus noowere Ik' k'ani aaromadan b́ need'efere b́ bek'i,
56 Stephen said, “Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
Eshe «Hambe, daro k'eshe b́ gwutsere ash na'o Ik'i k'ani aaro maantsan b́ need'efere t bek'iri» bí eti.
57 At this the council members covered their ears, and shouting out with a loud voice, altogether they rushed at him.
Manoor bo k'aari eenon bo kuhi, bo waazono is'dekt ik wotdek't b́ maantsan bowos'i.
58 They dragged him out of the city where they began to stone him, and the witnesses laid down their outer clothing at the feet of a young man named Saul.
Kitotsno kishdek't shútson bo jot'i, gawuwotsuwre bo shemo dek'amt Sa'oli eteets jawets iko b́ kotetwok'o b́ tufi shirots ged bok'ri.
59 As they were stoning Stephen, he was calling out to the Lord and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
Shútson bín bo jot'fere, Ist'ifanos, «Doonzo Iyesuso! t kashu k'aaú de'e!» ett b́ k'oni.
60 He knelt down and called out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
Tuk'umaldek't, «Doonzono! bo morran boats taawk'aye!» ett k'aari eenon kuhat man ettnuwere k'ir b́wutsi.
