Jesu Tondiba Tuona 7
1 O kopadiciamo den yedi Etiena: yeni li tie moamoane bii?
And the high priests said; Are these things so?
2 Etiena den guadi ki yedi o: n kpiba bi jaaba leni n baanba, cengi mani; Ti kpiagidi tienu den doagidi O yuli Abalahama ya yogunu ke o den ye mesopotami hali ki daa kaali halana.
And he said, Men, brothers and fathers, hear ye; The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he migrated into Haran, and He said to him;
3 Oden yedi o: ña a danba kani leni a dandoguni ki gedi ya dogu ke n bati waani ŋa.
Come out from thy country and from thy kindred, and come hither into the land which I will show unto thee.
4 o den tuo ñani ya dogu ke bi yi kalide ki ban kali halana. lan kani o ba kuumi puoli Otienu den gedini o ya dogu ke i jii kaa moala.
And after his father died he migrated himself thence into this country in which you now dwell,
5 Otienu naa den punio tin diedi kaaga ba taapuogu n ba ŋmaa naani. ama O den niani ke O bati teni o laa kaanu ban diedi wani leni opuoliŋoani o yaa ti ye. ba yeni wan kaa pia biga.
and God gave him no inheritance in it, not the step of his foot; and he promised to give it to him, and his seed after him, for an inheritance, there being no child to him.
6 utienu den yedi o yaali tie na: Abalahama puoliŋoanu ba ti fa tua canba ya dogu n kaa tie bi dogu. laa diemani yaaba ba teni ban tua bi yonbi, ki go wani ba fala bina kobina.
And thus God spoke, that his seed shall sojourn in a strange land, and they will enslave it and oppress it four hundred years.
7 Ama otienu yedi: ya dogu n ba ti taaba ban tua yonbi, mini utienu n ba jia u buudi. lan yaa puoli nba ti ñanba laa dogunni, ban ban suani n po.
And the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, says God, and after these things they shall come out and serve me in this place.
8 Utienu go den teni Abalahama ku koanciagu ŋantaado. Abalahama mali Isaka ki kuano o madi dan niili daali. Isaka n ma Jakobo ki koani o moko. Jakobo den mali piiga n jabi lie lan n tie tie yajaanba, o den kuani ban moko.
And He gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac, Jacob; and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs.
9 Ti yaajanba den kuadi bi waalo Josefi ke bi gedini o Ejibiti ti yonbidi, kelima bi den pia li nunponli o po.
And the patriarchs, envying Joseph, sold him into Egypt:
10 Ama Utienu den yee leni o ki den ga o fala buoli kuli nni, O go den puni o miyanfuoma ke cedi ke Ejibiti bado Falono pali den mani o po, ke o den cedi ko tua Ejibiti kuli liiga yua leni wani Falono diegu nni kuli.
and God was with him, and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him grace and wisdom before Pharaoh the king of Egypt; and he placed him governor over Egypt and all his house.
11 Mikoncianma den baa Ejibiti dogu kuli, leni Kanana dogu li den tie falaciamo. baa den pia bonjekaala.
And the famine came into all the land and Canaan, and great distress: and our fathers found no sustenance.
12 Jakoabo den gaa laabali ke mijiema den ye Ejibiti lan wani ke o den kpa suani ti yaajanba yenma.
And Jacob hearing that there is food in Egypt, sent away our fathers first.
13 ban guani ki gedi mi ta liema Josefi den doagidi o yuli o kpeliba kani, lani ke Falono moko den bandi wan tie ya nibuolu yua.
And the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren, and his race became manifest to Pharaoh.
14 lani Josefi den suani ban wolo o po, o ba leni o diegu nubi kuli. bi kuli cuali den fii nubi piileele.
And Joseph sending, called to him Jacob his father, and all the family, seventy-five souls.
15 Jakoabo den jiidi Ejibiti leni ti yaajanba.
And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he and our fathers died there.
16 ban kaa den yee bi den gedini bi kuli Sikema ki ban piiniba naani ke Abalahama den daa leni i ligi Hamola bijabi kani. lan n tie Sikema yaajanba.
And they were carried over into Shechem, and buried in a tomb which Abraham purchased from the sons of Emmor in Shechem with a sum of money.
17 utienu nden niani Abalahama ya ŋoanianu nden nagida ki baa ba migbienma ti buolu den maa ki pugida bonciala Ejibiti dogunni.
When the time of the promise which God made with Abraham drew nigh, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Li den pundi ya yogunu ke badi toa yua kaa bandi Josefi den dini libali
until another king arose over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
19 Laa bado den janbi ti buolu ki den wangi ti yaajanba fala, ki teni ke bi lu bi canpanda leni u paalu ke ban da ya yee.
He dealing fraudulently with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their infants, so that they should not live.
20 Laa yogunu yo bi den mali Musa. o den ŋani o tienu po. o danba den kubi o deeni ha li ŋmali ta.
During which time Moses was born, and was beautiful to God; who was kept three months in the house of his father.
21 Ban den luni o ya yogunu Falona bisalo den piidi o ki wubi o nani o bimaadi ga yeni.
And he being exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him, and adopted him for a son to herself.
22 bi den cogini o Egibiti yaaba banma leni li yanfuoma kuli, o go den pia u paalu mi maama nni leni a tuonŋama nni.
And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and was mighty in his words and works.
23 Wan den ba li yankuali ya yogunu ki ba gedi ki ban lee o buolu nuba o den pia bina piina.
And when the time of the fortieth year was fulfilled to him, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
24 Wan den pundi li kani o den sua ke Ejibiti nulo den wangidi fala o buolu nulo yendo, o den ga o koanli ki pua ki kpa Ejibiti yua.
And seeing a certain one suffering affliction, he interposed, and executed vengeance in behalf of the oppressed one, slaying the Egyptian.
25 O den tamake o kpiiba Isaleelenba yaaba ba bandi ke lenio yaa nu yo, ke Utienu baa faabiba leni fala. ama baa den faami ki bandi.
And he supposed that his brethren would understand that God through his hand is giving them salvation: but they did not recognize it.
26 Laa daali ya fifama, o den laa ke Isaleele yaaba siiga nibi lie ke bi kuani ki pua bi yaba. o den tundi ba ki bua ban mangi, o den yedi ba: i kuli tie buolu yendu bee n teni ke yi wangidi yi lieba fala?
On the following day, he appeared to them fighting, and undertook to reduce them to peace, saying, Men, you are brethren; therefore do not injure one another.
27 Ama yua n den paani o lielo yeni den yedi: ŋme dini ŋa li bali ke ŋan tua ti yudaano leni ti bujialo?
And the one injuring his neighbor thrust him away, saying, Who appointeth you a leader and a judge over us?
28 A bua ki kpa n moko nani wonli ŋan den kpa Ejibiti yua maama yeni bii?
whether do you wish to kill me, in the manner in which you slew the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Laa maama po, Musa den sani ki gedi ya dogu ke yi Madiana, li po o den mali bonjala lie.
And at this word Moses fled, and became a sojourner in the land of Midia, where he begat two sons.
30 Bina piina puoli Maleki den doagidi o Sinayi joali fanpienmanni o den la ya fatuugu yaa niini ke mifantama co yeli yeli.
And forty years having passed away, an angel appeared to him in the desert of Mount Sinai in the flame of fire of the bramble bush.
31 Musa n den laa, laa bondoagidi kaala, li den lidini o. wan den nagida ki bua ki diidi bonŋanla, o den gbadi O diedo nialu
And Moses, seeing the sight, was astonished: and he coming nigh to investigate, the voice of the Lord came:
32 N tie a yaajanba tienu Abalahama, Isaka leni Jakoabo tienu. Musa den digibi kaa tuo ki yaadi ki diidi.
I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembling, did not dare to investigate.
33 O diedo den yedo: pidi a cacaadi kelima ŋan se ya kaanu yeni tie tingagidi kaaga.
And the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet: for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.
34 N laa n nubi n laadi yaa fala Ejibiti diema nni N go gbadi bi dunli moala n jiidi ki ba faabiba. gedi moala n ba suana Ejibiti.
Seeing, I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and heard their groaning, and have come down to deliver them. And come now, I will send thee into Egypt.
35 Musa yua ke bi den yie o, ki den tua: ŋme dini ŋa libali ke ŋan tua ti yudaano leni ti bujialo, wane ke o tienu go den suani wan tua bi yudaano leni bi faabi ka leni Maleki yua den doagido ku fatuugu nni yaa todima.
And this Moses whom they denied, saying, Who hath established thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent a ruler and deliverer, with the hand of an angel having appeared unto him in a bush.
36 Wani go den ñani ba Ejibiti leni mi bancianma leni sinakeene, Ejibiti nni mi ñincianmoama siiga, mi fanpiencianmani hali bina piina.
He led them out, doing wonders and miracles in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
37 wan Musa n go den yedi isaleele bila: Utienu baa ñani i siiga o sawali pualo nani mini.
This Moses is the one having said to the sons of Israel, A prophet will God raise up to you of your brethren, like unto me.
38 ya yogunu ke isaleele yaaba den taani ku fanpienciagun ni, Musa n den ye leni ba, ki go den gaani utienu Maleko n den maadi o yaala Sinayi juali leni ti yaajanba, o den soangidi ti po yaa maama n tie limiali maama, yaama n ñani Utienu kani.
And this is the one being in the church in the wilderness with the angel speaking to him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the living oracles to give unto us;
39 Ti yaajanba, baa den tuo wan yedi yaala. bi den yie o, ke bi yantiana leni bi paala go den jigidi ki nuanli Ejibiti po.
to whom our fathers were not willing to be obedient, but thrust him away, and turned back in their hearts towards Egypt,
40 Bi den yedi Alono: duadi ti po i buli, ya buli n baa cuoni ti liiga; kelima Musa yua n ñani ti Ejibiti dogu yeni, tii bani yaali n tieno.
saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us: for this Moses, who led us out from the land of Egypt, we know not what happened to him.
41 bi den duadi laa dana nni bulo ke naanini ki naabiga. ki paadi li padili o po, ki mangidi bi pala leni ban fidi ki suani yaa tuonli leni bi nii.
And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 Lan wan Utienu den ŋaaba ki cedi ke bi kpiagidi tanpoli ŋabili, nani lan diani bi sawalipuaba tili n ni maama: naani yi den padi n po ti yandi, yaa yogunu ke n den ye leni yi bina biina mi fanpiencianma n ni bii? yinba isaleele ba yaaba.
And God turned away, and gave them up to serve the host of the heaven; as has been written in the book of the prophets: Slain victims and sacrifices you have not brought unto me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel.
43 Yi den tugi ya bulo n yi Moloko gbandieli, leni ya bulo n yi Lefana ŋmabiliga. laa bon naani kala kuli yi den tieni ki ba ya kpiagidi. lan yaa po yo, ke n cedi ke yi gedi ti yonbidi hali Babilona diema yaa kandima.
And ye took up the shrine of Moloch, and the star of the god Remphan, images which you made to worship them; and I will transport you beyond Babylon.
44 Ti yaajanba den pia siedi gbandieli mi fanpiencianma n ni. nani Utienu n den puogi Musa wan tieni maama. Musa den tieni nani Utienu n den cili wani o ya nananli.
And the tabernacle of testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, as the one speaking to Moses commanded him to make it according to the example he had seen;
45 Lan ya puoli, Josue den gobidi ti yaajanba ke bi den kuani laa siedi gbandieli ya diema ya niini ke Utienu den teli yaa nubi n den cili ki kaa likani. bi den kali laa dogu n ni ki ban pundi hali Dafidi yogunu.
which our fathers receiving, brought in along with Joshua in the dispossession of the nations, whom God drove out, from the face of our fathers, until the days of David,
46 Dafidi den ba Utienu ŋanbili, ke o den mia Otienu ki bua ki maa Jakoabo Tienu po ku diegu.
who found favor before God, and asked that he should build a tabernacle for the house of Jacob.
47 Ama, Salomo n den maa ku diegu.
But Solomon built a house for him.
48 Ki naa ña tanpoli joma Tienu ki ye bi nisaaliba n ma ya diegu ya niini, nani nani o sawali pualo n yedi maama.
But the Most High dwelleth not in houses built with hands, as the prophet says,
49 O diedo yedi: tanpoli tie n bali kali kaanu, ki tinga mo tie n taaŋmakaanu. be ya diebuolu ke yi ba ma, n po? bi lee n tua n po fuodi kaanu?
Heaven is my throne, and earth the footstool of my feet: What house will you build for me? says the Lord; Or what shall be the place of my rest?
50 Naani n yaa nu cele kaa tagi lan kuli?
Hath not my hand made all of these things?
51 Tupaalu danba ne; ya nusaala kaa tuo ki lebidi bi pala ke bi tuba go juagi, yi yaajanba n den tie maama yi moko tie yene kelima yi yiedi yogunu kuli Utienu fuomi yua.
Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do ye.
52 O lee sawapuale ke yi yaajanba ki waani o fala? bi den ku yaabi n den tuodi waani O tegini ka cuama. moala ke yi janbi o ki teni ke bi kpao. lani n bundi ke yi den tua nikpanla.
Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? and they slew those proclaiming concerning the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you became:
53 Yi den ba Utienu balimaama yaama ke Malekinba den suagini yi po. ama yii tuo ki kubima.
who received the law in the administrations of angels, and did not keep it.
54 Ban den gbadi Etiena n maadibi maama, bi pala den beni hali boncianla, ke bi cegini bi ñina o po.
And hearing these words, they were cut through their hearts and gnashed their teeth at him.
55 Ama Etiena den gbie leni Otienu fuomi yua. o den yaadi ki nuanla tanpoli po ki la Otienu kpiagidi ke Jesu se Utienu najienu.
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, and looking up to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 O den yedi: diidi mani, n nua ke ke tanpoli luodi ke O joa bijoa se Utienu najienu.
and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Bi tangi boncianla ki biindi bi tuba, ki taani ki libi o li kani.
And crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears, and unanimously rushed on him,
58 Bi den fuli o, ki ñani o u dogu n ni ki ban madi o a tana. siediba den landi bi tiadi ki biliti ya jawalo yaa kani ke den yi o Polo.
and casting him out from the city, they began to stone him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, called Saul:
59 Ban den madi o tana ya yogunu, Etiena den jani ki yedi: O diodo Jesu, ŋan ga n naano.
and continued to stone Stephen, calling upon the Lord, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 Lan ya puoli, o den gbaani o duna po ki tiani yenma ki yedi: O diedo, ŋan pa ba laa tuonbiadi sugili. laa maama puoli o den gbindi.
And putting down his knees, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, do not impute this sin to them. And saying this, he fell asleep.
