Oihana 7
1 NINAU aku la ke kahuna nui, Pela no anei keia mau mea?
And the High-priest said—Are these things, so?
2 I mai la keia, E na kanaka, na hoahanau, a me na makua, e hoolohe mai; Ua ikea mai ke Akua nani e ko kakou kupuna e Aberahama, i kona noho ana ma Mesopotamia, i ka wa mamua aku o kona noho ana ma Harana:
And, he, said—Brethren and fathers, hearken! The God of Glory, appeared unto our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, —
3 A i mai la ia ia, E puka aku oe, mai kou aina aku, a mai kou poe hoahanau aku hoi, a e hele i ka aina a'u e kuhikuhi aku ai ia oe.
And said unto him—Get thee forth, out of thy land, and from among thy kindred, and come unto the land which, unto thee, I will point out.
4 Alaila, hele aku la ia mawaho o ka aina o ko Kaledaio, a noho iho la ma Harana: a make kona makuakane, mai ia wahi mai i lawe mai ai oia ia ia, a i keia aina a oukou e noho nei.
Then, coming forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran; and, from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, in which, ye, now dwell;
5 Aole hoi i haawi ia ia ia i hooilina maloko ona, aole no i kahi e ku ai ka wawae: ua olelo mai nae oia e haawi mai ia ia ia i kuleana nona, a no kana poe mamo mahope ona; ia manawa, aole ana keiki.
And gave him no inheritance therein, not even a place to set his foot on; and yet promised to give it unto him in possession, and unto his seed after him, when as yet he had not a child.
6 I mai la ke Akua penei, E noho malihini ana kana poe mamo ma ka aina e; a e hooluluhi pio ia ilaila, a e hoomainoinoia mai lakou, i na makahiki eha haneri.
But God, spake thus—His seed shall be a sojourner in a foreign land, and they will bring it into bondage, and ill-treat it four-hundred years;
7 A o ka lahuikanaka a lakou i hookauwa ai, na'u no ia e hoopai aku, wahi a ke Akua: a mahope iho o keia mau mea, e puka mai lakou iwaho, a e malama mai ia'u ma keia wahi.
And, the nation unto which they shall be in bondage, will, I, judge—said God; and, after these things, shall they come forth, and render divine service unto me, in this place.
8 A haawi mai la ia ia i ka berita o ke okipoepoe ana; a hanau mai nana o Isaaka, a okipoepoe iho la ia ia i ka walu o ka la; a na Isaaka o Iakoba, a na Iakoba o na makualii, he umikumamalua.
And he gave unto him a covenant of circumcision; and, thus, he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs.
9 A huahuwa iho la na makualii ia Iosepa, a kuai lilo aku la ia ia i ko Aigupita: aia no me ia ke Akua,
And, the patriarchs, being jealous of Joseph, gave him up into Egypt; and, God, was, with him,
10 A nana no i hoopakele mai ia ia, mailoko mai o kona mau popilikia a pau, a haawi mai ia ia i ka lokomaikaiia, a me ke akamai imua o Parao, o ke alii o Aigupita; a hoolilo iho la ia ia, i luna maluna o Aigupita, a me kona hale a pau.
And rescued him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt and all his house.
11 Ua hiki mai he wi maluna o ka aina a pau o Aigupita a me Kanaana, a me ka popilikia nui: aole i loaa i ko kakou mau kupuna ka mea ai.
And there came a famine upon all Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers could not find pasture.
12 A lohe ae la o Iakoba he ai ma Aigupita, hoouna mua aku la ia i ko kakou mau kupuna.
But Jacob, hearing there was corn in Egypt, sent off our fathers, first;
13 A i ka lua [o ka hele ana] hoike mai o Iosepa ia ia iho i kona poe hoahanau, a hoikeia'ku la ka ohana o Iosepa ia Parao.
And, the second time, Joseph was made known unto his brethren, and, the race of Joseph was made, manifest, unto Pharaoh.
14 Alaila, hoouna mai la o Iosepa, a kii mai la i kona makuakane ia Iakoba, a me kona poe hoahanau a pau; he mau uhane kanahikukumamalima lakou.
And Joseph, sending forth, called for Jacob his father, and all the kindred, consisting of seventy-five souls;
15 Iho ae la o Iakoba i Aigupita, a make iho la ia, a me ko kakou poe kupuna.
And Jacob went down [into Egypt]. And he died, he, and our fathers;
16 A laweia'ku la lakou i Sukema, a waiho iho la maloko o ka halelua a Aberahama i kuai mai ai i ke kala me na keiki a Hemora, a ka makuakane o Sukema mai.
And were brought over into Shechem, and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased, for a price of silver, of the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
17 A kokoke hiki mai ka wa i oleloia mai ai, a ke Akua i hoohiki mai ai ia Aberahema, mahuahua na kanaka, a lehulehu ae la ma Aigupita;
Now, just as the time of the promise was drawing near wherewith God had agreed with Abraham, the people grew, and were multiplied in Egypt, —
18 A ku mai la kekahi alii e ae, i ike ole ia Iosepa.
Until there arose another sort of king over Egypt, who had not known Joseph.
19 Hana maalea mai la ia i ko kakou lahuikanaka, a hana ino mai i na kupuna o kakou, a kiola aku la i ka lakou keiki hou, i ole lakou e ola.
The same, dealing craftily with our race, ill-treated our fathers, so as to cause their babes to be exposed, to the end they might not be suffered to live.
20 Ia manawa i hanau ai o Mose, a ua maikai loa ia, a hanaiia oia i ekolu malama maloko o ka hale o kona makuakane.
In which season, Moses, was born, and was exceeding goodly, —who was nourished up three months in the house of his father;
21 A i kona wa i hooleiia'i mawaho, lawe ae la ke kaikamahine a Parao ia ia, a malama iho la i keiki nana.
But, when he was exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh rescued him, and nourished him for herself, as a son.
22 Ua aoia o Mose i ke akamai a pau o ko Aigupita, a ua mana hoi ma na olelo, a ma na hana ana.
And, so Moses was trained in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his words and works.
23 A hala na makahiki ona he kanaha, kupu iho la ka manao maloko o kona naau, e hele aku e ike i kona poe hoahanau, i ka poe mamo a Iseraela.
And, when there was being fulfilled unto him a period of forty years, it came up on his heart to look after his brethren the sons of Israel;
24 A ike aku la ia i kekahi mea e hana ino ia'ua, kokua aku la oia ia ia, a hooponopono mamuli o ka mea i hooluhi hewa ia mai, a pepehi aku la i ke kanaka o Aigupita.
And, seeing one being wronged, he defended him, and avenged him that was getting worn out, smiting the Egyptian.
25 Manao iho la ia e hoomaopopo auanei kona poe hoahanau e haawi mai ana ke Akua i ola no lakou, ma kona lima; aka, aole lakou i ike.
But he supposed his brethren would understand that, God, through his hand, would give them deliverance; whereas they understood not.
26 A ia la ae, ikea oia ia lakou e paio ana, a koi aku la oia ia laua e kuikahi, i ae la, E na kanaka, he mau hoahanau olua, no ke aha la olua e hana ino nei kekahi i kekahi?
On the following day also, he appeared unto them, as they were contending, and would have reconciled them in peace, saying—Men! ye are, brothers! Wherefore wrong ye one another?
27 Aka, o ka mea hana ino i ka hoa, kipaku aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Nawai la oe i hoonoho ai i alii, a i lunakanawai maluna o makou?
But, he that was wronging his neighbour, thrust him away, saying—Who hath appointed, thee, to be ruler and judge over us?
28 Ke manao nei anei oe e pepehi mai ia'u, e like me kou pepehi ana i ke kanaka o Aigupita inehinei?
Art, thou, wishing, to kill me, in the same way thou didst kill, yesterday, the Egyptian?
29 Holo aku la o Mose no keia olelo, a lilo i malihini ma ka aina Midiana, malaila i hanau ai nana, na keikikane elua.
And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
30 A pau na makahiki hookahi kanaha, ikeia mai la he anela o ka Haku ia ia, ma ka waonahele, ma ka mauna Sinai, maloko o ka lapalapa ahi o ka laau ooi.
And, when forty years were fulfilled, there appeared unto him, in the desert of Mount Sinai, a messenger, in a flame of fire, in a bush.
31 A ike aku la o Mose, kahaha aku la i keia mea i ikeia; a hookokoke aku la no hoi ia e makaikai, a hiki mai ka leo o ka Haku io na la,
And, Moses, seeing it, marvelled at the sight; and, as he was going near to observe, there came a voice of the Lord—
32 Owau no ke Akua o kou mau makua, ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua a Iakoba. Haalulu iho la o Mose, a makau ke makaikai aku.
I, am the God of thy fathers, The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. And Moses becoming, terrified, durst not observe.
33 Olelo mai la ka Haku ia ia, E wehe oe i kou mau kamaa, mai kou mau kapuwai aku; no ka mea, o kahi au e ku nei, he aina hoano ia.
And the Lord said unto him—Loose the sandals of thy feet; for, the place whereon thou art standing, is, hallowed ground.
34 I ka nana ana, ua ike au i ka poino ana o ko'u poe kanaka ma Aigupita, a ua lohe no au i ko lakou kaniuhu ana, a ua iho mai nei au e hoopakele ia lakou: e hele mai hoi oe, a e hoouna aku au ia oe i Aigupita.
I have, indeed seen, the ill-treatment of my people that is in Egypt, and, unto their groaning, have I hearkened, and have come down to rescue them. Now, therefore, come! I will send thee into Egypt.
35 O ua Mose la, ka mea a lakou i hoole ai, me ka i ana'e, Owai ka mea i hoonoho ia oe, i alii, a i lunakanawai? oia no ka ke Akua i hoouna aku ai i alii, a i ola, ma ka lima o ka anela ana i ike aku ai iwaena o ka laau ooi.
The same Moses whom they had refused, saying—Who hath appointed thee to be ruler and judge? the same, both as ruler and redeemer, did God send, by the hand of the messenger who had appeared unto him in the bush:
36 Nana no lakou i alakai iwaho, e hana ana i na mea kupanaha, a me na hoailona ma ka aina o Aigupita, a me ke Kaiula, a ma ka waonahele i na makahiki hookahi kanaha.
The same, led them forth, doing wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the desert, forty years:
37 O ua Mose la keia, ka mea nana i olelo mai i na mamo a Iseraela, E hoala mai ana ka Haku, ko oukou Akua, i kekahi Kaula, mailoko mai o ko oukou poe hoahanau, e like me au nei; oia no ka oukou e hoolohe aku ai.
The same, is the Moses that said unto the sons of Israel—A prophet, unto you, will God raise up, from among your brethren, like unto me:
38 Oia no ka mea maloko o ka ekalesia ma ka waonahele me ka anela nana i olelo mai ia ia, ma ka mauna ma Sinai, a me ko kakou poe kupuna hoi; a loaa no ia ia na olelo hoola, e haawi mai ia kakou.
The same, is he that came to be in the assembly in the desert, with the messenger who was speaking with him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, he who welcomed living utterances, to give unto us:
39 Aole i makemake ai ko kakou poe kupuna e hoolohe ia ia, aka, kipaku aku la, a ma ka naau, huli hou no lakou i Aigupita,
Unto whom, our fathers would not become obedient, but thrust him away, and turned in their hearts unto Egypt,
40 I ae la ia Aarona, E hana oe i mau akua no kakou, e hele aku mamua o kakou; no ka mea, o ua Mose la, ka mea i alakai mai ia kakou nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, aole kakou i ike i kona wahi i lilo aku ai.
Saying unto Aaron—Make as gods who shall go before us; for, as for this Moses who brought us forth out of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him!
41 A ia mau la, hana iho la lakou i bipi keiki, a haawi aku la i mohai na ua kii akua la, a olioli iho la lakou i ka mea a ko lakou mau lima iho i hana'i.
And so they fell to calf-making in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
42 Alaila huli aku la ke Akua, a kuu mai la ia lakou e hoomana aku i ka puali o ka lani; e like me ka mea i palapalaia maloko o ka buke a ka poe kaula, E ka ohana a Iseraela e, ua lawe mai anei oukou na'u i na mea i pepehiia, a me na mohai, i na makahiki hookahi kanaha ma ka waonahele?
But God, turned, and delivered them up to be doing divine service unto the host of heaven, —just as it is written in a book of the prophets—Victims and sacrifices did ye offer unto me, forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?
43 A ua kaikai oukou i ka halelewa o Moloka, a me ka hoku o ko oukou akua o Remepana, i na kii a oukou i hana'i, i mea e hoomana aku ai ia lakou; a na'u no oukou e lawe aku ma o aku o Babulona.
Nay! but ye took with you the tent of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, —the forms which ye made to bow down unto them: therefore will I carry you away beyond Babylon.
44 Ua loaa no i ko kakou poe kupuna ma ka waonahele, ka halelewahoike, e like me ka olelo ana i olelo mai ai ia Mose, e hana ia mea me ke kumu ana i ike ai.
The tent of witness, was with our fathers in the desert, according as he who was speaking unto Moses, gave instructions, to make it, according to the model which he had seen.
45 O ka mea hoi a ko kakou poe kupuna i lawe a kai mai ai me Iosua, i ke kuleana o ka lahuikanaka e a ke Akua i kipaku aku ai, mai ka maka aku o ko kakou poe kupuna, a hiki wale mai i na la o Davida.
Which our fathers succeeding to, also brought in, with Joshua, when taking possession of the nations, which God put out from before our fathers until the days of David;
46 Loaa no hoi ia ia ka lokomaikaiia mai imua i ke alo o ke Akua, noi aku la ia e hoomakaukau i wahi e noho ai, no ke Akua o Iakoba.
Who found favour before God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
47 Na Solomona nae i kukulu i hale nona.
But, Solomon, built him a house.
48 Aka, aole e noho ka Mea Kiekie maloko o na luakini i hanaia e na lima; e like me ka mea i oleloia mai ai e ke kaula,
Although indeed, the Most High, not in hand-made places, dwelleth; just as, the prophet, saith—
49 O ka lani ko'u nohoalii, a o ka honua hoi ko'u keehana wawae. Heaha ka hale a oukou e kukulu ai no'u? wahi a ka Haku; heaha hoi ko'u wahi e maha ai?
Heaven is my thrown, and, the earth, is my footstool: What manner of house, will ye build me, saith the Lord, —Or what shall be the place of my resting?
50 Aole anei na ko'u lima i hana keia mau mea a pau?
Hath not, my hand, made all these things?
51 E ka poe ai oolea, ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia ma ka naau, a ma ka pepeiao, ua mau loa ko oukou pale ana i ka Uhane Hemolele; e like me ko oukou kupuna, pela no hoi oukou nei.
Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in hearts and in ears, ye, always, against the Holy Spirit, do strive! As your fathers, ye also:
52 Owai kekahi mea o ka poe kaula i hoomaau ole ia e ko oukou poe kupuna? Ua pepehi hoi lakou i ka poe nana i hai mua mai i ka hiki ana mai o ka Mea Hemolele, ka mea a oukou i kumakaia iho nei a pepehi iho la.
Which of the prophets, did not your fathers persecute? Yea they slew them who declared beforehand concerning the coming of the Righteous One—of whom, now, ye, have become, betrayers and murderers!
53 Ua loaa no hoi ia oukou ke kanawai, na ka poe anela i hoolaha mai, aole nae oukou i malama.
Who, indeed, received the law through ranks of messengers, —and guarded it not.
54 A lohe lakou i keia mau mea, walania iho la ko lakou naau, nau iho la ko lakou mau kui ia ia.
And, while they were hearing these things, they were being pierced in their hearts, and began gnashing their teeth against him.
55 Aka, ua piha no ia i ka Uhane Hemolele, a haka pono aku la ia i ka lani, a ike aku la i ka nani o ke Akua, a me Iesu e ku ana ma ka lima akau o ke Akua;
But he, being already full of Holy Spirit, looking steadfastly into heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God;
56 I mai la ia, Aia hoi, ke ike aku nei au i na lani e hamama ana, a me ke Keiki a ke kanaka e ku ana ma ka lima akau e ke Akua.
And said—Lo! I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man, standing, on the right hand of God.
57 Uwa aku la lakou me ka leo nui, papani iho la i ko lakou mau pepeiao, a lele lokahi mai la maluna ona;
And, crying out with a loud voice, they held their ears, and rushed with one accord upon him;
58 Kiola aku la ia ia mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, a hailuku aku la; a waiho iho la na mea hoike i ko lakou aahu ma ka wawae o kekahi kanaka ui, i kapaia o Saulo.
And, thrusting him forth outside the city, proceeded to stone him. And, the witnesses, laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 Hailuku aku la lakou ia Setepano, kahea ana me ka olelo aku, E ka Haku, e Iesu, e hookipa aku oe i kuu uhane.
And they stoned Stephen, as he was invoking and saying—Lord Jesus! give welcome unto my spirit.
60 Kukuli iho la ia a hea aku la me ka leo nui, E ka Haku, mai kau oe i keia hewa maluna o lakou. A pau kana olelo ana pela, hiamoe iho la ia.
And, kneeling down, he cried out with a loud voice—Lord! do not charge against them, this sin. And, having said this, he fell asleep.
