Acts 7
1 And the prynce of prestis seide to Steuene, Whethir these thingis han hem so?
Awo Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’abuuza Suteefano nti, “Ebyo bwe biri bwe bityo?”
2 Which seide, Britheren and fadris, here ye. God of glorie apperide to oure fadir Abraham, whanne he was in Mesopotamie, bifor that he dwelte in Carram, and seide to hym,
Suteefano n’addamu nti, “Baganda bange ne bakadde bange, mumpulirize! Katonda ow’ekitiibwa yalabikira jjajjaffe Ibulayimu ng’akyali mu Mesopotamiya, nga tannaba kulaga mu Kalani.
3 Go out of thi loond, and of thi kynrede, and come in to the loond, which Y schal schewe to thee.
N’amugamba nti, ‘Vva mu nsi yannyo ne mu bantu bo, ogende mu nsi gye ndikulaga.’
4 Thanne he wente out of the loond of Caldeis, and dwelte in Carram. And fro thens aftir that his fader was deed, he translatide him in to this loond, in which ye dwellen now.
“Bw’atyo n’ava mu nsi y’Abakuludaaya n’abeera mu Kalani, okutuusa kitaawe bwe yafa. Awo Katonda n’amuleeta wano mu nsi eno mwe tuli kaakano.
5 And he yaf not to hym eritage in it, nethir a paas of a foot, but he bihiyte to yyue hym it in to possessioun, and to his seed aftir hym, whanne he hadde not a sone.
Naye n’atamuwaako ttaka lirye newaakubadde awalinnyibwa ekigere. Kyokka n’asuubiza okugimuwa okugirya, ye n’ezzadde lye oluvannyuma lwe, newaakubadde nga mu kiseera ekyo lbulayimu teyalina mwana!
6 And God spak to hym, That his seed schal be comling in an alien lond, and thei schulen make hem suget to seruage, and schulen yuel trete hem, foure hundrid yeris and thritti;
Katonda n’amugamba nti ezzadde lye, baliba bagenyi mu nsi y’abalala, era balibafuula abaddu, ne babayisa bubi okumala emyaka ebikumi bina.
7 and Y schal iuge the folk, to which thei schulen serue, seith the Lord. And after these thingis thei schulen go out, and thei schulen serue to me in this place.
Era Katonda n’agamba nti, ‘Ndibonereza eggwanga eryo eriribafuula abaddu, n’oluvannyuma balivaayo ne bansinziza mu kifo kino.’
8 And he yaf to hym the testament of circumcisioun; and so he gendride Ysaac, and circumcidide hym in the eiyt dai. And Isaac gendride Jacob, and Jacob gendride the twelue patriarkis.
Era n’amuwa okukomolebwa ng’akabonero ak’endagaano. Awo lbulayimu n’azaala lsaaka, n’amukomola ng’awezezza ennaku munaana ez’obukulu. Isaaka n’azaala Yakobo, ne Yakobo n’azaala bajjajjaffe ekkumi n’ababiri.
9 And the patriarkis hadden enuye to Joseph, and selden hym in to Egipt.
“Bajjajja abo ne bakwatirwa Yusufu obuggya, ne bamutunda mu Misiri. Naye Katonda yali naye,
10 And God was with hym, and delyuerede hym of alle hise tribulaciouns, and yaf to hym grace and wisdom in the siyt of Farao, king of Egipt. And he ordeynede hym souereyn on Egipt, and on al his hous.
n’amuwonya mu kubonaabona kwonna era n’amuwa ekisa n’amagezi mu maaso ga Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri. Falaawo n’amuwa okufuga Misiri yonna era n’amukwasa okulabirira byonna ebifa mu lubiri lwe.
11 And hungur cam in to al Egipt, and Canaan, and greet tribulacioun; and oure fadris founden not mete.
“Awo enjala n’egwa mu Misiri yonna ne mu nsi ya Kanani, n’ereetera bajjajjaffe okubonaabona ennyo kubanga baali tebalina we baggya mmere.
12 But whanne Jacob hadde herd, that whete was in Egipt, he sente oure fadris first.
Yakobo bwe yawulira nga mu Misiri eriyo eŋŋaano n’atumayo bajjajjaffe, omulundi gwabwe ogwasooka.
13 And in the secounde tyme Joseph was knowun of hise britheren, and his kyn was maad knowun to Farao.
Ku mulundi ogwokubiri Yusufu ne yeeyanjulira baganda be era n’ayanjulira Falaawo baganda be.
14 And Joseph sente, and clepide Jacob, his fadir, and al his kynrede, seuenti and fyue men.
Bw’atyo Yusufu n’atumya kitaawe, Yakobo, era n’ab’ennyumba ya kitaawe bonna be bantu nsanvu mu bataano.
15 And Jacob cam doun in to Egipt, and was deed, he and oure fadris;
Bw’atyo Yakobo n’ajja e Misiri era n’afiira eyo ne bajjajjaffe.
16 and thei weren translatid in to Sichen, and weren leid in the sepulcre, that Abraham bouyte bi prijs of siluer of the sones of Emor, the sone of Sichen.
Oluvannyuma baaleetebwa e Sekemu mu ntaana Ibulayimu gye yali aguze omuwendo gw’effeeza, ku batabani ba Kamoli mu Sekemu.
17 And whanne the tyme of biheeste cam niy, which God hadde knoulechid to Abraham, the puple waxede, and multipliede in Egipt,
“Ekiseera ky’ekisuubizo bwe kyagenda kisembera, Katonda kye yasuubiza Ibulayimu, abantu ne beeyongera ne baala mu Misiri.
18 til another kyng roos in Egipt, which knewe not Joseph.
Awo kabaka omulala eyali tamanyi Yusufu n’atandika okufuga Misiri.
19 This bigilide oure kyn, and turmentide oure fadris, that thei schulden putte awey her yonge children, for thei schulden not lyue.
Kabaka oyo n’asalira eggwanga lyaffe amagezi, n’abonyaabonya bajjajjaffe, ng’abasuuza abaana baabwe abawere baleme okuba abalamu.
20 In the same tyme Moyses was borun, and he was louyd of God; and he was norischid thre monethis in the hous of his fadir.
“Mu biseera ebyo ne Musa n’azaalibwa, n’ayagalwa nnyo Katonda. Bakadde be ne bamulabirira mu nnyumba yaabwe okumala emyezi esatu.
21 And whanne he was put out in the flood, the douyter of Farao took hym vp, and nurischide hym in to hir sone.
Bwe yalekebwa mu mugga, muwala wa Falaawo n’amulonda n’amutwala n’amulera nga mutabani we.
22 And Moises was lerned in al the wisdom of Egipcians, and he was myyti in his wordis and werkis.
Musa n’ayigirizibwa mu magezi gonna ag’Abamisiri, n’akula nga w’amaanyi mu bigambo ne mu bikolwa.
23 But whanne the tyme of fourti yeer was fillid to hym, it roos vp `in to his herte, that he schulde visite hise britheren, the sones of Israel.
“Awo Musa bwe yali awezezza emyaka amakumi ana, n’asalawo mu mutima gwe okukyalirako baganda be, abaana ba Isirayiri.
24 And whanne he say a man suffringe wronge, he vengide hym, and dide veniaunce for hym that suffride the wronge, and he killide the Egipcian.
N’alaba Omuyisirayiri ng’anyigirizibwa, n’amutaasa, n’atta Omumisiri ng’awoolera eggwanga olw’oyo eyali anyigirizibwa.
25 For he gesside that his britheren schulden vndurstonde, that God schulde yyue to hem helthe bi the hoond of hym; but thei vndurstoden not.
Musa n’alowooza nti baganda be banaategeera nga Katonda amutumye okubalokola, naye ne batakitegeera.
26 For in the dai suynge he apperide to hem chidinge, and he acordide hem in pees, and seide, Men, ye ben britheren; whi noyen ye ech othere?
Olunaku olwaddirira n’alaba abalwana. N’agezaako okubatabaganya ng’abagamba nti, ‘Abasajja lwaki mulwana nga muli baaluganda?’
27 But he that dide the wronge to his neiybore, puttide hym awey, and seide, Who ordeynede thee prince and domesman on vs?
“Naye oli eyali ayiikiriza munne n’asindika eri Musa ng’agamba nti, ‘Ani eyakufuula omufuzi waffe era omulamuzi waffe?
28 Whethir thou wolt sle me, as yistirdai thou killidist the Egipcian?
Oyagala kunzita nga bwe watta Omumisiri jjo?’
29 And in this word Moises flei, and was maad a comeling in the loond of Madian, where he bigat twei sones.
Musa bwe yawulira ebyo, n’adduka n’agenda abeera mugenyi mu nsi ya Midiyaani, era eyo n’azaalirayo abaana aboobulenzi babiri.
30 And whanne he hadde fillid fourti yeer, an aungel apperide to hym in fier of flawme of a buysch, in desert of the mount of Syna.
“Awo nga wayiseewo emyaka amakumi ana, Musa bwe yali ng’ali mu ddungu ly’olusozi Sinaayi, malayika n’amulabikira mu muliro ogwaka, wakati mu kisaka.
31 And Moises siy, and wondride on the siyt. And whanne he neiyede to biholde, the vois of the Lord was maad to hym,
Musa bwe yakiraba ne yeewuunya. N’agenda ng’asemberera ekisaka yeetegereze, eddoboozi lya Mukama ne limugamba nti,
32 and seide, Y am God of youre fadris, God of Abraham, God of Ysaac, God of Jacob. Moises was maad tremblynge, and durste not biholde.
‘Nze Katonda wa bajjajja bo, Katonda wa Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo.’ Musa n’akankana, era n’atasobola na kwongera kutunulayo.
33 But God seide to hym, Do of the schoon of thi feet, for the place in which thou stondist is hooli erthe.
“Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, ‘Gyamu engatto zo, kubanga ekifo w’oyimiridde kitukuvu.
34 Y seynge say the turmentyng of my puple that is in Egipt, and Y herde the mornyng of hem, and Y cam doun to delyuere hem. And now come thou, and Y schal sende thee in to Egipt.
Ndabye okubonaabona kw’abantu bange mu Misiri, ne mpulira n’okusinda kwabwe. Kyenvudde nzika okubalokola. Kaakano jjangu, nkutume e Misiri.’
35 This Moises whom thei denyeden, seiynge, Who ordeynede thee prince and domesman on vs? God sente this prince and ayenbiere, with the hoond of the aungel, that apperide to hym in the busch.
“Oyo Musa gwe baagaana nga bagamba nti, ‘Ani eyakufuula omufuzi era omulamuzi waffe?’ Oyo Katonda gwe yatuma ng’ayita mu malayika eyamulabikira mu kisaka eky’omuliro, abeere omufuzi waabwe era omununuzi waabwe.
36 This Moises ledde hem out, and dide wondris and signes in the loond of Egipt, and in the reed see, and in desert fourti yeeris.
Oyo n’abaggyayo ng’amaze okukola ebyamagero n’ebyewuunyisa, mu nsi y’e Misiri, n’abayisa mu Nnyanja Emyufu, n’abatambuza mu ddungu okumala emyaka amakumi ana.
37 This is Moises, that seide to the sones of Israel, God schal reise to you a profete of youre bretheren, as me ye schulen here him.
“Oyo ye Musa eyategeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Katonda agenda kubayimusiza Nnabbi ng’amuggya mu baganda bammwe nga nze.’
38 This it is, that was in the chirche in wildirnesse, with the aungel that spak to hym in the mount of Syna, and with oure fadris; which took words of lijf to yyue to vs.
Era Musa oyo ye yali ne bajjajjaffe mu ddungu nga bakuŋŋaanye nga malayika ayogera naye ku lusozi Sinaayi, era yaweebwa ebigambo eby’obulamu okubitutuusaako.
39 To whom oure fadris wolden not obeie, but puttiden hym awei, and weren turned awei in hertis in to Egipt,
“Naye bajjajjaffe baagaana okumugondera, ne bamujeemera, era mu mitima gyabwe ne baddayo e Misiri.
40 seiynge to Aaron, Make thou to vs goddis, that schulen go bifore vs; for to this Moyses that ledde vs out of the lond of Egipt, we witen not what is don to hym.
Ne bagamba Alooni nti, ‘Tukolere bakatonda abanaatukulembera, kubanga ono Musa eyatuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri tetumanyi kyabadde.’
41 And thei maden a calf in tho daies, and offriden a sacrifice to the mawmet; and thei weren glad in the werkis of her hondis.
Mu nnaku ezo, ne beekolera ennyana, ne bawaayo ssaddaaka eri ekifaananyi, ne basanyukira ekyo kye beekoledde n’emikono gyabwe.
42 And God turnede, and bitook hem to serue to the knyythod of heuene, as it is writun in the book of profetis, Whether ye, hous of Israel, offriden to me slayn sacrificis, ether sacrificis, fourti yeris in desert?
Awo Katonda n’abavaako, n’abawaayo okusinzanga eggye ery’omu ggulu, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu kitabo kya bannabbi nti, “‘Mwandeeteranga ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo mu ddungu emyaka gyonna amakumi ana, ggw’ennyumba ya Isirayiri?
43 And ye han take the tabernacle of Moloc, and the sterre of youre god Renfam, figuris that ye han maad to worschipe hem; and Y schal translate you in to Babiloyn.
Muzimbye essabo lya Moloki, ne mugulumiza emmunyeenye ya katonda wammwe Lefani, nga be bakatonda abalala be mwekolera mubasinze. Kyendiva mbawaŋŋangusa’ okusukka Babulooni.
44 The tabernacle of witnessing was with oure fadris in desert, as God disposide to hem, and spak to Moyses, that he schulde make it aftir the fourme that he say.
“Bajjajjaffe baatambula mu ddungu nga beetisse Eweema ey’Endagaano, eyakolebwa nga Katonda bwe yalagirira Musa ng’efaanana nga bwe yagimulaga.
45 Which also oure fadris token with Jhesu, and brouyten in to the possessioun of hethene men, whiche God puttide awey fro the face of oure fadris, til in to the daies of Dauid,
Bajjajjaffe bajja bagisituzza abaana baabwe, okutuusa Yoswa lwe yajja nayo okulya ensi y’abamawanga Katonda be yagobanga mu maaso ga bajjajjaffe. Eweema n’ebeerawo okutuusa ku mirembe gya Dawudi.
46 that fonde grace anentis God, and axide that he schulde fynde a tabernacle to God of Jacob.
Dawudi n’asiimibwa Katonda, era n’asaba azimbire Katonda wa Yakobo ennyumba.
47 But Salomon bildide the hous `to hym.
Naye Sulemaani ye yagizimba.
48 But the hiy God dwellith not in thingis maad bi hoond,
“Naye oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo tabeera mu nnyumba zizimbiddwa bantu. Nga nnabbi bw’agamba nti,
49 as he seith bi the profete, Heuene is a seete to me, and the erthe is the stool of my feet; what hous schulen ye bilde to me, seith the Lord, ether what place is of my restyng?
“‘Eggulu y’entebe yange ey’obwakabaka. N’ensi ke katebe kwe nteeka ebigere byange. Mukama n’agamba nti, Ononzimbira nnyumba ya ngeri ki? Oba kifo ki mwe ndiwummulira?
50 Whether myn hoond made not alle these thingis?
Omukono gwange si gwe gwakola ebyo byonna!’
51 With hard nol, and vncircumcidid hertis and eris ye withstoden eueremore the Hooli Goost; and as youre fadris, so ye.
“Mmwe abalina ensingo enkakanyavu, abatakomolebwanga mu mutima wadde amatu, muwakanya Mwoyo Mutukuvu bulijjo; era bajjajjammwe nga bwe baali, nammwe bwe mutyo bwe muli.
52 Whom of the profetis han not youre fadris pursued, and han slayn hem that bifor telden of the comyng of the riytful man, whos traitouris and mansleeris ye weren now?
Nnabbi ki bajjajjammwe gwe bataayigganya? Batta n’abo abaalangirira okujja kw’Omutuukirivu, gwe mwalyamu olukwe ne mumutta.
53 Whiche token the lawe in ordynaunce of aungels, and han not kept it.
Mmwe mwaweebwa amateeka nga bwe gaalagirwa bamalayika naye ne mutagagondera.”
54 And thei herden these thingis, and weren dyuersli turmentid in her hertis, and grenneden with teeth on hym.
Awo abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo byonna Suteefano bye yayogera, ne bajjula obusungu bungi ne bamulumira obujiji.
55 But whanne Steuene was ful of the Hooli Goost, he bihelde in to heuene, and say the glorie of God, and Jhesu stondinge on the riythalf of the vertu of God.
Naye Suteefano ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu, n’atunuulira eggulu enkaliriza, n’alaba ekitiibwa kya Katonda, ne Yesu ng’ayimiridde ku mukono gwa Katonda ogwa ddyo.
56 And he seide, Lo! Y se heuenes openyd, and mannus sone stondynge on the riythalf of the vertu of God.
N’abagamba nti, “Laba, ndaba eggulu nga libikkuse, nga n’Omwana w’Omuntu ayimiridde ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda.”
57 And thei crieden with a greet vois, and stoppiden her eris, and maden with o wille an assauyt in to hym.
Ne baleekaanira waggulu nga bazibikidde amatu gaabwe ne bamweyiwako.
58 And thei brouyten hym out of the citee, and stonyden. And the witnessis diden of her clothis, bisidis the feet of a yong man, that was clepid Saule.
Ne bamusindiikiriza ebweru w’ekibuga, ne bamukuba amayinja. Abaamukuba ne bassa eminagiro gyabwe ku bigere by’omuvubuka erinnya lye Sawulo.
59 And thei stonyden Steuene, that clepide God to help, seiynge, Lord Jhesu, resseyue my spirit.
Awo bwe baali bakuba Suteefano amayinja, n’akoowoola Katonda ng’agamba nti, “Mukama wange Yesu, twala omwoyo gwange.”
60 And he knelide, and criede with a greet vois, and seide, Lord, sette not to hem this synne. And whanne he hadde seid this thing, he diede.
N’agwa wansi ku maviivi n’akaaba mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Mukama wange, tobavunaana olw’ekibi kino.” Bwe yamala okwogera ekyo, n’afa.
