Acts 7
1 And the chief priest said, 'Are then these things so?'
Bangʼe jadolo maduongʼ nopenjo Stefano niya, “Weche modonjnigogi bende gin adier?”
2 and he said, 'Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken: The God of the glory did appear to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran,
Stefano nodwoko niya, “Owetena kod wuonena, winjauru! Nyasaye man-gi duongʼ maber nofwenyore ni wuonwa Ibrahim kane pod odak e piny Mesopotamia, kane pok odar odhi odak Haran.
3 and He said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and out of thy kindred, and come to a land that I shall shew thee.
Nyasaye nowachone ni, ‘Dar iwe pinyu gi jou mondo idhi e piny ma abiro nyisi!’
4 'Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from thence, after the death of his father, He did remove him to this land wherein ye now dwell,
“Omiyo Ibrahim nodar oweyo piny jo-Kaldea mi odhi odak e piny Haran. Bangʼ tho wuon-gi, Nyasaye nooro Ibrahim e piny makoro udakieni.
5 and He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep, and did promise to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him — he having no child.
To ne ok omiye girkeni moro e pinyni, kata lowo matin moromo tielo nyono. Nyasaye nosingorene ni en kaachiel gi nyikwaye mane biro aa bangʼe ne biro kawo lopni, kata obedo ni Ibrahim ne onge gi nyathi e kindeno.
6 'And God spake thus, That his seed shall be sojourning in a strange land, and they shall cause it to serve, and shall do it evil four hundred years,
Nyasaye nowuoyo kode kawacho ni, ‘Nyikwayi nobed jodak e piny moro ma ok margi, kendo nolokgi wasumbini mi nosandgi malit kuom higni mia angʼwen.
7 and the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and shall do Me service in this place.
To anakum piny ma noketgi wasumbini, bangʼe giniwuogi gia e pinyno mi gibi gilama kae.’
8 'And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begat Isaac, and did circumcise him on the eighth day, and Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob — the twelve patriarchs;
Bangʼe Nyasaye notimo gi Ibrahim singruok kowacho ni yawuowi nyaka ter nyangu. Kane Ibrahim onywolo wuode ma Isaka, notere nyangu bangʼ ndalo aboro kosenywole. Achien Isaka nonywolo Jakobo, kendo Jakobo bende nodoko wuon kwerewa apar gariyo.
9 and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,
“Nikech kwerewago ne nyiego omako gi Josef, ne giuse kaka misumba ne jo-Misri. To nikech Nyasaye ne ni kode,
10 and did deliver him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he did set him — governor over Egypt and all his house.
nokonye e chandruok duto mane oyudo. Ne omiyo Josef rieko ma kinde gi Farao ruodh Misri obedo maber. Omiyo Farao nokete jatelo maduongʼ morito piny Misri duto, nyaka od ruoth bende.
11 'And there came a dearth upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,
“Eka kech maduongʼ nomako piny Misri gi Kanaan kendo nokelo chandruok maduongʼ e piny ma kata kwerewa ne ok nyal yudo chiemo.
12 and Jacob having heard that there was corn in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;
Kane Jakobo owinjo ni cham ne nitie Misri, nooro kwerewa kuno e ote mokwongo.
13 and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brethren, and Joseph's kindred became manifest to Pharaoh,
To e ote mar ariyo, Josef nohulore ni owetene, mi Farao koro nongʼeyo jo-dalagi Josef.
14 and Joseph having sent, did call for his father Jacob, and all his kindred — with seventy and five souls —
Bangʼ mano, Josef nooro wach mondo okelne Jakobo wuon mare kaachiel gi wedene duto, mane romo kar kwan ji piero abiriyo gabich.
15 and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,
Kuom mano Jakobo nodhi Misri, kuno ema kwerewa duto kaachiel gi en nothoe.
16 and they were carried over into Sychem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Sychem.
Ringregi ne okel nyaka Shekem mine oyikgi e bur ma Ibrahim nosengʼiewo kuom yawuot Hamor man Shekem.
17 'And according as the time of the promise was drawing nigh, which God did swear to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
“Kane ndalo ochopo mondo Nyasaye ochop singruok mane otimo ni Ibrahim, noyudo ka kar kwan jowa mane odak Misri ne osemedore.
18 till another king rose, who had not known Joseph;
Bangʼe ruoth manyien mane ok ongʼeyo wach Josef nobedo e loch e piny Misri.
19 this one, having dealt subtilely with our kindred, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babes, that they might not live;
Ruodhno nowuondo jowa mosando kwereu malit, ka ochunogi mondo giwit nyithindgi oko mondo otho.
20 in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and he was brought up three months in the house of his father;
“Kindeno ema nonywolie Musa, nyathi mane jaber e nyim Nyasaye kendo nopidhe e od wuon-gi kuom dweche adek.
21 and he having been exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and did rear him to herself for a son;
To kane owite oko, nyar Farao ne okwanye mi opidhe mana kaka nyathine owuon.
22 and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.
Musa ne oyudo puonjruok e kit rieko duto mag jo-Misri, kendo ne en ratego e kit wuoyone kod timbene.
23 'And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came upon his heart to look after his brethren, the sons of Israel;
“Kane Musa koro ja-higni piero angʼwen, noparo e chunye mondo odhi olim owetene ma jo-Israel.
24 and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he did defend, and did justice to the oppressed, having smitten the Egyptian;
Noneno ka ja-Misri moro goyo ja-Israel wadgi, omiyo ne odhi okonye mi nogoyo ja-Misrino monego.
25 and he was supposing his brethren to understand that God through his hand doth give salvation; and they did not understand.
Musa ne oparo ni owetene ma jo-Israel ne nyalo neno ni Nyasaye ema notiyo kode mondo ogolgi e twech, to ne ok gineno kamano.
26 'On the succeeding day, also, he shewed himself to them as they are striving, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, brethren are ye, wherefore do ye injustice to one another?
Kinyne Musa noyudo jo-Israel ariyo ka dhawo. Notemo thegogi kowachonegi ni, ‘Joka ma, un owete; angʼo momiyo udwaro hinyoru kayiem?’
27 and he who is doing injustice to the neighbour, did thrust him away, saying, Who set thee a ruler and a judge over us?
“To ngʼat mane sando nyawadgino nodhiro Musa gichien kowachone ni, ‘En ngʼa ma oketi ruoth kendo jangʼadnwa bura?
28 to kill me dost thou wish, as thou didst kill yesterday the Egyptian?
Iparo mar nega kaka nyoro inego ja-Misri cha?’
29 'And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons,
Kane Musa owinjo wachno, noringo odhi Midian, kama nodakie kaka japiny moro mi onywolo yawuowi ariyo.
30 and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai a messenger of the Lord, in a flame of fire of a bush,
“Bangʼ higni piero angʼwen, malaika nofwenyore ni Musa ei ligek mach maliel e bungu manie thim but Got Sinai.
31 and Moses having seen did wonder at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord unto him,
Kane Musa oneno mach malielno, nodoko maluor. Kane osudo machiegni mondo onene maber, nowinjo dwond Ruoth Nyasaye kawacho niya,
32 I [am] the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 'And Moses having become terrified, durst not behold,
‘An e Nyasach kwereni; ma Nyasach Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo.’ Omiyo Musa notetni ka luoro omake, kendo ne ok ohedhore ngʼiyo bunguno kendo.
33 and the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place in which thou hast stood is holy ground;
“Eka Ruoth Nyasaye nowachone niya, ‘Lony wuoche e tiendi, nikech kama ichungoeni en Kama Ler!
34 seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that [is] in Egypt, and their groaning I did hear, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send thee to Egypt.
Aseneno gi wangʼa kaka joga chandore malit e piny Misri. Asewinjo kaka gichur omiyo asebiro mondo agonygi gibed thuolo; koro bi mondo aori idogi Misri!’
35 'This Moses, whom they did refuse, saying, Who did set thee a ruler and a judge? this one God a ruler and a redeemer did send, in the hand of a messenger who appeared to him in the bush;
“Ma e Musa mane oyudo gisekwedo kagiwacho ni, ‘En ngʼa ma oketi ruoth kendo jangʼadnwa bura?’ Nyasaye owuon mane ofwenyorene e kit malaika mane oneno e bungu noore mondo obed jatendgi kendo jaresgi.
36 this one did bring them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years;
Ne otelonegi kogologi Misri, kendo notimo honni madongo gi ranyisi e piny Misri, e Nam Makwar, kendo timo honni mamoko bende e thim kuom higni piero angʼwen.
37 this is the Moses who did say to the sons of Israel: A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me, him shall ye hear.
“Ma e Musa mane onyiso jo-Israel ni, ‘Nyasaye noyiernu janabi machal koda kowuok e dier ogandau.’
38 'This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the messenger who is speaking to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers who did receive the living oracles to give to us;
En owuon ne en kodgi e chokruok mane ni e thim, kaachiel gi kwerewa kod malaika mane owuoyo kode e Got Sinai; kendo ne omiye weche mangima makoro wawinjogi.
39 to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but did thrust away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
“To kwerewa notamore winjo wachne. Kar timo mano, to ne gikwede kendo chunygi nogombo dok Misri.
40 saying to Aaron, Make to us gods who shall go on before us, for this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what hath happened to him.
Neginyiso Harun ni, ‘Losnwa nyiseche moko mondo otelnwa, nikech wakia gima osetimo Musa mane ogolowa Misri!’
41 'And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands,
E kindeno ema ne gilosoe kido milamo machalo gi nyaroya. Negitimone misango, mi gilosone sawo ka gimiyo gima lwetgi ema ne oloso duongʼ!
42 and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
To Nyasaye nogolo pache kuomgi moweyogi mondo gilam chwech mag polo kaka nyisechegi, mana kaka ondiki e kitap jonabi niya, “‘Yaye jo-Israel, bende ne ukelona misengini kata chiwo moro amora kuom higni piero angʼwen mane un e thim?
43 and ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan — the figures that ye made to bow before them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon.
Ne utingʼo malo hemb Molek kod sulwe mar nyasachu ma Refan ma gin, nyiseche manono mane uloso mondo ulam. Omiyo abiro darou mi ateru e piny twech mabor mayombo Babulon.’
44 'The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He did direct, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen;
“Kwereu ne ni kod Hema miluongo ni Hemb Rapar. Hemano nolosi mana kaka Nyasaye nonyiso Musa mondo olose, koluwo ranyisi mane omiye.
45 which also our fathers having in succession received, did bring in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God did drive out from the presence of our fathers, till the days of David,
Kane kwerewa oyudo Hemani, ne gitingʼe ka Joshua otelonegi, nyaka negichopo kode e piny ogendini mane Nyasaye oseriembo mondo owenegi. Hemani ne gibedogo nyaka chop kinde mag Daudi.
46 who found favour before God, and requested to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob;
Daudi noyudo ngʼwono e wangʼ Nyasaye, omiyo nokwayo mondo ogerne Nyasach Jakobo kar dak.
47 and Solomon built Him an house.
To Solomon ema ne ogero ne Nyasaye odno.
48 'But the Most High in sanctuaries made with hands doth not dwell, according as the prophet saith:
“Kata kamano, Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo ok dagi e udi ma dhano ogero, mana kaka janabi owacho niya,
49 The heaven [is] My throne, and the earth My footstool; what house will ye build to Me? saith the Lord, or what [is] the place of My rest?
“‘Polo e koma mar duongʼ to piny e raten tienda. Koro en ot machal nade ma dugerna? Ruoth Nyasaye owacho. Koso kar yweyo mara nobed kanye?
50 hath not My hand made all these things?
Donge lweta ema osechweyo gigi duto?’
51 'Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! ye do always the Holy Spirit resist; as your fathers — also ye;
“Un joma tokgi tek, chunyu bor gi Nyasaye kendo udagi winjo wachne! Uchal mana gi kwereu. Usiko utamo Roho Maler tiyo!
52 which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom now ye betrayers and murderers have become,
Bende nitie janabi kata achiel ma kwereu ne ok osando? Neginego nyaka jonabi mane okoro biro mar Ngʼama Kare. To koro usendhoge mi unege.
53 who received the law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep [it].'
Un e joma noyudo chik mane okel gi malaike to usetamoru rito chikno.”
54 And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and did gnash the teeth at him;
Kane jobura owinjo weche mane Stefano owacho, igi nongʼondore mi gikayone lekegi.
55 and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked stedfastly to the heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
To Stefano, kopongʼ gi Roho Maler, nongʼiyo malo e polo mi oneno duongʼ mar Nyasaye, kod Yesu kochungʼ e bad Nyasaye korachwich.
56 and he said, 'Lo, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.'
Nowachonegi niya, “Neuru, aneno polo koyawore kendo ka Wuod Dhano ochungʼ e bad Nyasaye korachwich.”
57 And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and did rush with one accord upon him,
Kane giwinjo wachno, mirima nomakgi matek mi gimwomore kuome gi chuny achiel.
58 and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning [him] — and the witnesses did put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul —
Ne giywaye mi gigole oko mar dala maduongʼ kendo gichako chiele gi kite. Joneno mag miriambo nohangone wach moketo lepgi e tiend wuowi moro ma nyinge Saulo.
59 and they were stoning Stephen, calling and saying, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;'
Kane oyudo gichiele gi kite, Stefano nolamo kowacho niya, “Ruoth Yesu, kaw chunya.”
60 and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, 'Lord, mayest thou not lay to them this sin;' and this having said, he fell asleep.
Eka nogoyo chonge piny mokok matek niya, “Ruoth, kik ikwan richoni e wigi.” Kane osewacho kamano, to chunye nochot.
