Kitetidayta Ootho 7
1 Qeessista halaqay Isxifanose “haysi ne bolla shiqqida yozi tuumee?” gi oychides.
Then the high priest said, “Are these accusations true?”
2 Isxxifanoseykka hizigides “Ta ishaato, ta awwato ta giizaysa siyite nu awa Abramey Kaarane yanappe kasse buro Mesophoxomiyan dishin bonncho Goday izas qonccidi
Stephen said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
3 (Ne dereppene ne dabbofe shakeistada ta neena bessizaso ba) gides.
and said to him, ‘Leave yoʋr land and yoʋr relatives, and go to a land I will show yoʋ.’
4 Izikka Kaldawista biittafe kezidi Karane biittan uttides. Iza away hayqqidappe guye inte ha7i dizaso ha dere iza ehidees.
Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. After his father died, God relocated him to this land in which you now dwell.
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.
He gave him no inheritance in it, not even the length of a footstep, but promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him, even though he had no child.
6 Qassekka Xoossi izas hizigi yotides (ne zerethi alagga biittan bete ass gidana. Oyddu xeettu layth aylletetha qammibara garsan wayistana.
God told him that his descendants would be sojourners in a foreign land, and that the people of that land would enslave them and mistreat them 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.)
‘But I will judge the nation whom they serve as slaves,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come out of that country and serve me in this place.’
8 Hesafe guye qaxxara woga ccaqo izas immides. Abrameykka Yisaqa yellidi iza osppuntha gallasa qaxxarides. Yisaqayka Yaqobe yellides. Yaqobeykka tamane namm77u qomota yellides.
Then he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, and Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. Later Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became 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 became jealous of Joseph and sold him into 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 delivered him out of all his afflictions. He gave Joseph favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, so Pharaoh appointed him as ruler over Egypt and over all his household.
11 He wode Kanaaneninne Gibixen daro metto ehida gita koshay dennidides. Nu awataskka miza kaathi dhayides.
Then a famine came upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, along with great suffering, and our fathers could find no food.
12 Yaqobey Giibixe deren kaathi dizayssa siyiddi nu aawata koyyro Gibxe yediides.
But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers out the first time.
13 Istti nam77antho biza wode Yosefoy izi oonakkone bena ba ishatas qonccisides. Faroneykka Yosefo ishshata erides.
On their second visit, Joseph made himself known to his brothers again, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
14 Hessafe guye Yosefoy kiitidi ba aawa Yaqobenne laappuun tamane ichachu gidiza ba dabota kuummeth ehiisides.
Then Joseph sent and called for his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five people in all.
So Jacob went down to Egypt, and there he died, he and our fathers.
16 Ista ahaykka Seekkeme gizaso ehaaththain Abramey Eemore nayytappe ba miishan shammida duhaaththaon moggettides.
Later their bodies were moved to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.
17 Xoossi Abrames caaqqida qalay polletiza wodey maatishin Gibixen diza nu asa qodday dari dari bides.
“As the time drew near for God to fulfill the promise he had sworn to Abraham, our people increased and multiplied in Egypt
18 Hesafe guye Gibixe bitan yoosefo eronta hara kawoy kawotides.
until there arose another king who did not know Joseph.
19 Izikka nu asa ba geene oothon metoothides. Buuro yelletida guutha naytti hayqqana malane yelliidayta kare kessi wora yeganamala wolliqathides.
This king dealt shrewdly with our people and mistreated our fathers, making them abandon their newborn babies so that they would not survive.
20 He wode Musey yeletides. Izikka Xoossa achan dosetida malla loo7o na gidides. Be aawa keeththan hedzdzu aggina all7isson diccides.
At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in God's sight. For three months he was brought up in his father's house,
21 Izi gede worra yeegettida wode kawwo Farone macca nayya deemada bees ekkadus. Be na mala oothada dichadus.
and when he was abandoned, Pharaoh's daughter took him in and brought him up as her own son.
22 Museykka Gibxista eraatetha wurssi tammarides. Yoon erra, oothonikka miinno gididees.
So Moses was trained in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in words and deeds.
23 “Muse laaythi ooydu tamu gida wode Musey ba ishata Isira7elle nayta beyanas ba wozinan qoppides.
“When Moses reached forty years of age, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the sons of Israel.
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.
When he saw one of them being wronged, he came to the aid of the man who was being oppressed and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian who was oppressing him.
25 Muses Xoossi iza kushshen issta wozanayssa iza asay akekkiza millatides. Gido atiin issti hessa yuushi qoppibeyteena.
Moses assumed that his brothers would understand that God was granting them deliverance by his hand, but they did not understand.
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 Moses came upon two Israelites who were fighting and urged them to make peace, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why are you hurting 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 one who was hurting his neighbor thrust Moses aside and said, ‘Who appointed yoʋ to be a ruler and judge over us?
Do yoʋ want to kill me as yoʋ killed that Egyptian yesterday?’
29 Musey hessa siyidda mala Midiyame biitta beettidi hen bete ass gidi deyyides. Heenkka nam77u atuma na yeellides.
At this remark Moses fled and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
30 Hessafe oydu tammu laythafe guuye Siina zuma achchan diza bazza biittan qerii worra gidon exxiizza taamma laccon kiitannchay izas bettides.
“After forty years had passed, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a 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 it, he was amazed at the sight. As he drew near to look at it, the voice of the Lord came to him:
‘I am the God of yoʋr fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look.
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.
Then the Lord said to him, ‘Remove the sandals from yoʋr feet, for the place where yoʋ are standing is holy ground.
I have surely seen the mistreatment of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send yoʋ 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 is the same Moses they had rejected, saying, ‘Who appointed yoʋ to be a ruler and judge?’ He is the one God sent as a ruler and redeemer by the hand 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.
He is the one who led them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
37 Isrra7elle nayytas ta mala nabe Xoossi inte garsafe dennthana gidaysi hayssa Musekko.
This is the same Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’
38 Izikka Siina zuma bolla hassa7ida kitancharanne bazo biitan nu awatara dere dullata giidon dees. Deyyo qalakka ha nuus aathanas ekkides.
This is the man who was with our fathers in the assembly in the wilderness when the angel spoke to him on Mount Sinai. He received a living word to give to us.
39 Nu awati gidiko izara eqqetida attiin izas azazistanas koyoonta gish ba wozinara guuye Giibbxe simmida.
Our fathers were unwilling to obey him. Instead, they thrust him aside, and in their hearts they turned back to Egypt,
40 Aarooneskka (Nu sinnthara biiza eeqqa nus gigisa nuna Giibbixefe kaallethi kessida Musey wanidako nu erroko) giida.
saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us, for we do not know what has 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.
In those days they made an idol in the form of a calf, brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced at the works of their hands.
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?
But God turned away from them and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, just as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘Was it to me that you offered slain beasts and sacrifices for forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
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 took up the tabernacle of Molech and the star of your god Remphan, the images you made so that you could worship them, so I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’
44 Xoossi Muse bessida lemmusoza malane azazzidayssa mala oothetida Xoossi asara gagiza dunkkaneya nu awatara baazzo biittan deyadus.
“Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, just as God had directed when he spoke to Moses and told him to make it according to the pattern 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.
Receiving it in turn, our fathers brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations whom God drove out from their presence. It remained there until the days of David,
46 Dawiteykka Xoossa sinthan boncho demidi Yaqoobe Godas aqqoso gigisanas woossides.
who found favor before God and asked if he could provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
47 Gido attiin Solmoney izas aqoso kexides.
But it was Solomon who built a house 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.
Yet the Most High does not dwell in temples made by human hands, just as the prophet says,
‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what place is there for my rest?
Has not my hand made all these things?’
51 Inteno wozana mumeto, haytha tuleto, intekka inte aawata amala wursio wode Xiillo Ayanara eqateista.
“You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do also.
52 Nbistappe inte aawati gooddonnta naabey oonee? Xiillozi yanayssa kasseti yottida nabetakka wodhida intekka ha7i izza aathi immidistane wodhidista.
Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become,
53 Kitanncha bagara intes immetida woga ekkidista attiin naggibeykista.” Isxxifanosey Shuchchan Cadeti Hayqidess.
you who received the law as ordained by angels yet have not kept it.”
54 Duulatan diza asay hessa siydamala daro hanqitidi, iza bolla ba achche gariccides.
When the members of the Sanhedrin heard these things, they were cut to the heart and began gnashing their teeth at him.
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 into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
He said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
57 Hesa wode asay qaala dhoqu histi waasishe ba haythe tuucci oykidi izako isppe woxxida.
But they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.
58 Isxxifanose oykkidi katamappe gede kare hallida. Shuchan cach oykkida. Hesi wuri hannishin marikkatikka ba mayo Sawulle gettetiza pantha achchan wothida.
Then they drove him out of the city and began stoning him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 Isti shuchara iza cadishin Isxxifanosey “ta Goda Yesussa ta sehmppiyo neeko eekka” gidi woosides.
They continued stoning Stephen while he prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
60 Qassekka gulbatidi dhoqa qalan “Godo haytananta nagara qodopa” gidi wassides. Hesa gidappe guye hayqqides
Then he fell to his knees and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” After saying this, he fell asleep.
