Kitetidayta Ootho 7
1 Qeessista halaqay Isxifanose “haysi ne bolla shiqqida yozi tuumee?” gi oychides.
“Are these allegations true?” the high priest asked.
2 Isxxifanoseykka hizigides “Ta ishaato, ta awwato ta giizaysa siyite nu awa Abramey Kaarane yanappe kasse buro Mesophoxomiyan dishin bonncho Goday izas qonccidi
“Brothers and fathers, listen to me!” Stephen replied. “God in his glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was living in Mesopotamia, before he moved to Haran.
3 (Ne dereppene ne dabbofe shakeistada ta neena bessizaso ba) gides.
God told him, ‘Leave your country and your relatives, and go to the country that I'm going to show you.’
4 Izikka Kaldawista biittafe kezidi Karane biittan uttides. Iza away hayqqidappe guye inte ha7i dizaso ha dere iza ehidees.
So he left the country of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran. After his father's death, God sent him here to this country where you now live.
5 Haray atoshin issi toy eqiza gadey izas hayssafe immetibeyna. Gido attiin he wode izas issi naykka baynnida dishin izzine izappe guyen iza zerethi biittiyo laatana mala Xoossi izas ccaqqides.
God didn't give Abraham an inheritance here, not even one square foot. But God did promise Abraham that he would give him and his descendants possession of the land, even though he had no children.
6 Qassekka Xoossi izas hizigi yotides (ne zerethi alagga biittan bete ass gidana. Oyddu xeettu layth aylletetha qammibara garsan wayistana.
God also told him that his descendants would live in a foreign country, and that they would be enslaved there, and would be mistreated for four hundred years.
7 Gido attiin ista aylle mala harza dere ta qaxxayana. Hessafe guye isti he biittafe kezzidi haanno ha soyin tas goynana.)
God said, ‘I will punish the nation that enslaves them. Eventually they will leave and come here to worship me.’
8 Hesafe guye qaxxara woga ccaqo izas immides. Abrameykka Yisaqa yellidi iza osppuntha gallasa qaxxarides. Yisaqayka Yaqobe yellides. Yaqobeykka tamane namm77u qomota yellides.
God also gave Abraham the agreement regarding circumcision, and so when Isaac was born, Abraham circumcised him on the eighth day. Isaac was the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of the twelve patriarchs.
9 He qommota awatti yosefo bolla qanattetidi iza aylletethas duge Gibixe bayzzida. Gido attiin Xoossi izara dees;
The patriarchs, who were jealous of Joseph, sold him into slavery in Egypt. But God was with him,
10 meto wursofe iza ashides. Gibxe kawo Faaronne sinthan bonncho qumma7isides. Faronney iza Gibxe biitaninne ba keeththa asa wurso bolla alafethethan shuumiides.
and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave him wisdom and helped him gain the favor of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over Egypt and the royal household.
11 He wode Kanaaneninne Gibixen daro metto ehida gita koshay dennidides. Nu awataskka miza kaathi dhayides.
Now a famine occurred throughout Egypt and Canaan. It caused terrible misery, and our forefathers had no food.
12 Yaqobey Giibixe deren kaathi dizayssa siyiddi nu aawata koyyro Gibxe yediides.
When Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt he sent our forefathers down on their first visit.
13 Istti nam77antho biza wode Yosefoy izi oonakkone bena ba ishatas qonccisides. Faroneykka Yosefo ishshata erides.
During their second visit, Joseph revealed to his brothers who he was, and Pharaoh discovered Joseph's family background.
14 Hessafe guye Yosefoy kiitidi ba aawa Yaqobenne laappuun tamane ichachu gidiza ba dabota kuummeth ehiisides.
Joseph sent for his father and all his relatives—seventy-five in total.
Jacob traveled to Egypt, and died there—as did our forefathers.
16 Ista ahaykka Seekkeme gizaso ehaaththain Abramey Eemore nayytappe ba miishan shammida duhaaththaon moggettides.
Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought with silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
17 Xoossi Abrames caaqqida qalay polletiza wodey maatishin Gibixen diza nu asa qodday dari dari bides.
As the time approached regarding the promise that God had made to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt increased.
18 Hesafe guye Gibixe bitan yoosefo eronta hara kawoy kawotides.
A new king came to the throne in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph.
19 Izikka nu asa ba geene oothon metoothides. Buuro yelletida guutha naytti hayqqana malane yelliidayta kare kessi wora yeganamala wolliqathides.
He took advantage of our people and treated our ancestors badly, forcing them to abandon their babies so they would die.
20 He wode Musey yeletides. Izikka Xoossa achan dosetida malla loo7o na gidides. Be aawa keeththan hedzdzu aggina all7isson diccides.
It was at this time that Moses was born. He was a handsome child, and for three months he was looked after in his father's home.
21 Izi gede worra yeegettida wode kawwo Farone macca nayya deemada bees ekkadus. Be na mala oothada dichadus.
When he had to be abandoned, Pharaoh's daughter rescued him and took care of him as her own son.
22 Museykka Gibxista eraatetha wurssi tammarides. Yoon erra, oothonikka miinno gididees.
Moses received instruction in all areas of Egyptian knowledge, and he became a powerful speaker and leader.
23 “Muse laaythi ooydu tamu gida wode Musey ba ishata Isira7elle nayta beyanas ba wozinan qoppides.
However, when he was forty years old, he decided to visit his relatives, the Israelites.
24 Izikka isi Giibixe assi Muse baga asappe isi ura bolla qooho gaathishin beyiddi ba bagga adeza madidi he Gibxe adeza wodhidi he qoheetidayssa hallo keesides.
He saw one of them being mistreated, so he intervened to defend him. On behalf of the man he took revenge and killed the Egyptian.
25 Muses Xoossi iza kushshen issta wozanayssa iza asay akekkiza millatides. Gido atiin issti hessa yuushi qoppibeyteena.
Moses thought his fellow Israelites would see that God was rescuing them through him, but they didn't.
26 Wontetha gallas qasekka Isira7elle naytappe nam7ati ba garssan oyeetishin gakkidi oyetizayta iginthanas koyydi (haytto asato inte inte garssan ishantakko, inte wannidi issay issa qoheetii?) gides.
The next day when he arrived, two Israelites were fighting one another. He tried to reconcile them and stop the fight. ‘Men! You are brothers!’ he told them. ‘Why are you attacking each other?’
27 Be lageza bolla qoho gathidaysi Muse suggi yeggidi (Nena nu bolla nuna haarizadene nu bolla piridizade oothi shuumiday oonee? woykko qamma Gibxe adeza wodhoyssatho tannaka wodhana koyaazii?) gides.
But the man who had started the fight pushed Moses away. ‘Who put you in charge over us? Are you our judge now?’ he asked.
‘Are you going to kill me like you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 Musey hessa siyidda mala Midiyame biitta beettidi hen bete ass gidi deyyides. Heenkka nam77u atuma na yeellides.
When he heard this, Moses ran away. He went and lived in exile in the land of Midian, where two sons were born to him.
30 Hessafe oydu tammu laythafe guuye Siina zuma achchan diza bazza biittan qerii worra gidon exxiizza taamma laccon kiitannchay izas bettides.
Forty years later, in the desert of Mount Sinai, an angel appeared to him in the flames of a burning bush.
31 Museykka iza beeydamala mallaleetides. Azakone shaki eranas izzi he izako shiqqishin Goda qalay “tanni ne awannta Xoossa abirame Yisaqane Yaqobe Xoossa gishin siydees. Museykka daro dagammides, xeellanaskka xalibeyna.
When Moses saw this, he was amazed at the sight, and went over to take a closer look. The voice of the Lord spoke to him:
‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.’ Moses shook with fear and didn't dare look up.
33 Godaykka izas hayssi ne eqqidasoy geeshaso gidiida gish ne toope ccamma shoda. Gibxen diza ta dereta waye ta tuumappe beyadis. Issti wasiza issta waye waso siiyada ista ashshanas woodhdhadis. Ne ha7ikka haya ta nena duge Giibixe zarada kiitana gides.
The Lord told him, ‘Take off your sandals, because where you are standing is holy ground.
I have closely observed the suffering of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groans. I have come down to rescue them. Now come over here, for I'm sending you to Egypt.’
35 Histtin heyyti (nu bolla neena haarizadenne piridizade histti ooni shuumedee?) giidi asay kaase kadhdhida Musse Xoossi qeeri woora gidon izas beetida kiitancha bagara issta haarizadenne ashizade hisitidi istaako zarri yeedides.
This was the same Moses that the people had rejected when they said, ‘Who made you a ruler and judge over us?’ God sent him to be both a ruler and a liberator, by means of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 Izikka ista kallethidi Gibxeppe keesides. Gibxen, zo7o abbanine bazo biittan oyydu taammu laythi daro mallalsiza miishatane gita malatata istas oothides.
Moses led them out after performing miraculous signs in Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and continued to do so in the desert for forty years.
37 Isrra7elle nayytas ta mala nabe Xoossi inte garsafe dennthana gidaysi hayssa Musekko.
This is the same Moses who promised the Israelites, ‘God will send you a prophet like me from among your people.’
38 Izikka Siina zuma bolla hassa7ida kitancharanne bazo biitan nu awatara dere dullata giidon dees. Deyyo qalakka ha nuus aathanas ekkides.
Moses was with God's assembled people in the desert when the angel spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and there with our forefathers he received God's living word to give to us.
39 Nu awati gidiko izara eqqetida attiin izas azazistanas koyoonta gish ba wozinara guuye Giibbxe simmida.
He was the one our fathers wouldn't listen to. They rejected him and decided to return to Egypt.
40 Aarooneskka (Nu sinnthara biiza eeqqa nus gigisa nuna Giibbixefe kaallethi kessida Musey wanidako nu erroko) giida.
They told Aaron, ‘Make gods for us to lead us, because we don't know what's happened to this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt.’
41 He wode mara miisile meedhdhidi eqqas yarsho shishida. Berkka medhida ba kuushe oothon uhaaththaa7ettidane guppiida.
Then they made an idol in the shape of a calf, sacrificed to it, and celebrated what they themselves had made!
42 Gido attiin Xoossi isttas zokko zarides. Isti sallo xollinntistas goynana mala aththi immides. Hesikka nabbista mxxaafan “inteno Isra7elle nayto inte baazo biittan oyddu tamu layth diza wode intefe yarshone muuna tas shishi ereetii?
So God gave up on them. He left them to their worship of the stars in the sky. This is what the prophets wrote, ‘Were you giving offerings or making sacrifices to me during the forty years in the desert, you Israelites?
43 Harappekka inte goynanaso othiida eeqqa Molookke dunkenane inte eqqa Refanne xollinnte misile dhoqu dhoqu hissti oykkidista. Hessa gisha ta intena inte dizasoppe dennthada Babiloonera aatha yeddana.” geetetidi xaahaaththaetides.
No, you carried the Tabernacle of the god Moloch and the image of the god Rephan's star, images that you made so you could worship them. So I will banish you in exile beyond Babylon.’
44 Xoossi Muse bessida lemmusoza malane azazzidayssa mala oothetida Xoossi asara gagiza dunkkaneya nu awatara baazzo biittan deyadus.
Our ancestors had the Tabernacle of Testimony in the desert. God had told Moses how he should make it following the blueprint he had seen.
45 Nu aawati dunkeneyo ekkidayssappe guye Xoossi Iyaaso kallethin kaase ista gooddida dereta lattida wode dunnkaneyo ekki geellida. Dawite wode gakanas dunkaneyaa he biittan deyadus.
Later on, our forefathers carried it with them when they went in with Joshua to occupy the land taken from the nations the Lord drove out before them. It stayed there until the time of David.
46 Dawiteykka Xoossa sinthan boncho demidi Yaqoobe Godas aqqoso gigisanas woossides.
David found favor with God and asked to make a more permanent home for the God of Jacob.
47 Gido attiin Solmoney izas aqoso kexides.
But it was Solomon who built a Temple for him.
48 Gido attiin woogga Goday asa kushey keexida keeththan deena. Hesikka nabey (salloy ta zuuppane biittaykka tas tos shemmposo, hiistiin inte tas ay mala keeth kexxeti woykko ta shemmppanasoy awaysse? Hayssa wursi ta kuushshey oothibeynnee? gees Goday) getetti xafetida mala.
Of course the Almighty doesn't live in temples we make. As the prophet said,
‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth the place I put my feet. What kind of dwelling could you build for me?’ the Lord asks. ‘What bed could you make for me to rest in?
Didn't I make everything?’
51 Inteno wozana mumeto, haytha tuleto, intekka inte aawata amala wursio wode Xiillo Ayanara eqateista.
You arrogant, hard-hearted people! You never listen! You always fight against the Holy Spirit! You act just like your fathers did!
52 Nbistappe inte aawati gooddonnta naabey oonee? Xiillozi yanayssa kasseti yottida nabetakka wodhida intekka ha7i izza aathi immidistane wodhidista.
Was there ever a prophet your fathers didn't persecute? They killed those who prophesied about the coming of the one who is truly good and right. He is the one you betrayed and murdered—
53 Kitanncha bagara intes immetida woga ekkidista attiin naggibeykista.” Isxxifanosey Shuchchan Cadeti Hayqidess.
you who received the law by means of the angels, but refused to keep it.”
54 Duulatan diza asay hessa siydamala daro hanqitidi, iza bolla ba achche gariccides.
When they heard this, the council members became mad with rage, and snarled at him, grinding their teeth.
55 Gidinkka Isxxifanosey Xiillo Ayanan kummidine puude salo tish histi xeellishin Xoossa bonchon Yesussay Xoossa oshachan eqqidayssa beydi “Heeko ta saaloy doyeetidayssane asa nay Xoossa ushachan eqqiidayssa beyays” gidees.
But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed up into heaven and saw God's glory, with Jesus standing at God's right hand.
“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open, and the Son of Man standing at God's right hand.”
57 Hesa wode asay qaala dhoqu histi waasishe ba haythe tuucci oykidi izako isppe woxxida.
But they held their hands over their ears and shouted as loudly as they could. They rushed together at him,
58 Isxxifanose oykkidi katamappe gede kare hallida. Shuchan cach oykkida. Hesi wuri hannishin marikkatikka ba mayo Sawulle gettetiza pantha achchan wothida.
dragged him out of the city, and began to stone him. His accusers laid their coats down beside a young man called Saul.
59 Isti shuchara iza cadishin Isxxifanosey “ta Goda Yesussa ta sehmppiyo neeko eekka” gidi woosides.
As they went on stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
60 Qassekka gulbatidi dhoqa qalan “Godo haytananta nagara qodopa” gidi wassides. Hesa gidappe guye hayqqides
He kneeled down, calling out, “Lord, please don't hold this sin against them!” And after he said this, he died.
