Matendo ya Mitume 7
1 Kuhani mbaha akajobha. “Mambo agha gha bhukweli”?
And the high priests said; Are these things so?
2 Stefano akajobha, “Bhalongo bhangu ni badadi jhangu munip'elekesiajhi nene: K'yara ghwa bhutukufu an'tokili dadi jhitu Abrahamu bhwakati ajhele Mesopotamia kabla hja, kutama Harani;
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 akan'jobhela, bhokayi katika nchi jha jhobhi ni bhanu bha jhobhi na ulotayi, mu nchi jha nibetakulasya'.
Come out from thy country and from thy kindred, and come hither into the land which I will show unto thee.
4 Kisha akabhoka mu nchi jha ukaldayo akatama Harani, kuhomela apu, Baada jha dadi munu kufwa, K'yara akandeta mu nchi ejhe, jhabhitama henu.
And after his father died he migrated himself thence into this country in which you now dwell,
5 Ampelilepi kyokyoha kama urithi bwa muene, pajhelepi hata ni sehemu jha kubheka ligolo. Lakini Abrahamu ahaidibhu hata kabla jha kukabhe muana kujhanibetakupelibhwa nchi kama miliki jha muene ni uzao bhwa muene
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 K'yara ajobhi naku naha, jha kujha bhazao bha muene nghabhatamili mu nchi jha kubhuhesya ni bhenyeji bha okhubhibeta kubhabhomba bhatumwa bha bhene ni kubhabhomba fibaya kwa muda ghwa miaka mianne.
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 Ni K'yara akajobha nibetakulihukumu taifa ambalyo libeta kubhabhomba mateka, ni baada jha apu bhibhita kuhoma ni kuniabudu pa sehemu ejhe.
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 Na ampelili Abrahamu Agano lya tohara. Ivyo Abrahamu akajha ghwa ISaka akan'tahiri ligono lya nane; Isaka akajha dadi ghwa Yakobo ni Yakobo akajha dadi ghwa bhakhoko bhitu kumi ni bhabhele.
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 Bhakoko bhitu bhakambonela bhwifu Yusufu bhakan'hemesya katika nchi jh a Misri, ni K'yara ajhele pamonga ni muene,
And the patriarchs, envying Joseph, sold him into Egypt:
10 ni kumwokola katika malombosi gha muene, ni kumpela fadhili ni hekima mbele jha Farao mfalme ghwa Misri. Farao akambeka kujha mtawala juu jha Misri ni juu jha nyumba jha muene jhioha.
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 Basi kwajhele ni njala mbaha ni malombosi mingi mu nchi jha Misri ni kanani, ni bhadidi jhitu bhakabhilepi kyakulya.
And the famine came into all the land and Canaan, and great distress: and our fathers found no sustenance.
12 Lakini Yakobo bho apeliki kujha ni nafakaMisri, abhalaghisi bha dadi jhitu kwa mara jha kwanza.
And Jacob hearing that there is food in Egypt, sent away our fathers first.
13 Katika safari jha pili Yusufu akakilasya kwa bhalongo munu, familia jha Yusufu jhikamanyikana kwa Farao.
And the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren, and his race became manifest to Pharaoh.
14 Yusufu abhalaghisi bhalongomunu kulota kun'jobhela Yakobo dadi jabhi ahidayi Misri, pamonga ni ndongo munu, jumla jha bhanu bhoha sabini na tano.
And Joseph sending, called to him Jacob his father, and all the family, seventy-five souls.
15 Hivyo Yakobo aselili Misri; kisha afuili pamonga ni bhadadi jhitu.
And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he and our fathers died there.
16 Bhakatolibhwa hata Shekemu bhakasyelibhwa mulikaburi ambalyo Abrahamu alihemili kwa fipandi fya hela kuhoma kwa bhana bha Hamori okhu Shekemu.
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 Bhwakati bhwa jhela ahidi ambayo K'yara aahidi Abrahamu bho bhukaribili, bhanu bho bhajhongesiki oku Misri,
When the time of the promise which God made with Abraham drew nigh, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Bhwakati obhu ajhinuiki mfalme jhongi Misri, mfalme jhaa manyilepi kuhusu Yusufu.
until another king arose over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
19 Mfalme jhongi ojho akabhakofya bhanu bhitu ni kubhabhomba mabhibhi bha dadi jhitu, ni kubhatagha bhana bhabhi bhadebe ili bhasiishi.
He dealing fraudulently with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their infants, so that they should not live.
20 Katika kipindi khela Musa ahogoliki ajhele nnofu mbele jha K'yara alalibhu miesi midatu mu nyumba jha dadi munu.
During which time Moses was born, and was beautiful to God; who was kept three months in the house of his father.
21 Bhwakati ataghibhu, binti ghwa Farao antolili akandela kama mwana munu.
And he being exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him, and adopted him for a son to herself.
22 Musa amanyisibhu mafundisu ghoha gha kimisri; ajhele ni nghofu mu malobhi ni matendo.
And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and was mighty in his words and works.
23 Lakini baada jha kutimisya miaka arobaini, jhikanhidila mu muoyo bhwa muene kubhagendela bhalongo munu, bhana bha Israeli.
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 Bhoambwene mwisraeli ibhombibhwa mabhibhi, Musa an'telili ni kulepesya kisasi kwa jhaamboneleghe kwa kun'tobha Mmsri.
And seeing a certain one suffering affliction, he interposed, and executed vengeance in behalf of the oppressed one, slaying the Egyptian.
25 Afikineghe kujha bhalongo munu bhibeta kumanya kujha K'yara akabhaokola kwa mabhoko gha muene lakini bhamanyilepi.
And he supposed that his brethren would understand that God through his hand is giving them salvation: but they did not recognize it.
26 Ligono lya lafwatili akalota kwa baadhi jha bhaisraeli bhahakomaneghe; akajaribu kubhapatenisya; akajobha Mabwana, muenga ndongo, mbona mwikoselana jhmu kwa jhomu?
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 Lakini jhaankosili jirani ghwa muene akansukumila patali ni kujobha, 'Niani akubhombili kujha mtawala ni mhukumu ghwa tete?
And the one injuring his neighbor thrust him away, saying, Who appointeth you a leader and a judge over us?
28 Bhebhe wilonda kunikoma kama kyaghwan'komili Mmisri golo”?
whether do you wish to kill me, in the manner in which you slew the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Musa ajumbili baada jha kupeleka nahu; akajha n'hesya mu nchi jha Midiani ambapo akajha dadi ghwa bhana bhabhele.
And at this word Moses fled, and became a sojourner in the land of Midia, where he begat two sons.
30 Baada jha miaka arobaini kup'eta, malaika akan'tokela mu jangwa lya kidonda sinai, katika mb'ele ghwa muoto mukichaka.
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 Bwakati Musa abubhwene muoto, ashangele ni kustajabila khela kya akibhwene, na bhoajeribu kukihegelela ili kukilanga sauti jha Bwana ikan'hidila ni kujobha,
And Moses, seeing the sight, was astonished: and he coming nigh to investigate, the voice of the Lord came:
32 “Nene ne K'yara ghwa bha dadi waku, K'yara ghwa Abrahamu, ni ghwa Isaka, ni ghwa Yakobo; Musa atetenuki na athubulepi kulanga.
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 Bwana akan'jobhela, “Fulayi filatu fya jhibhi, sehemu pa ujhemili ndo mahali patakatifu.
And the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet: for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.
34 Nighabhuene mateso gha bhanu bhangu bhabhajhele Misri; Nip'eleliki kuluala kwa bhene, nani niselili ili nibhaokolayi; Henu hidayi, nibeta kulaghisya bhebhe Misri.'
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 Ojhi Musa jha bhambelili, wakati bhijobha, Niani akubhekili kujha mtawala ni mwamuzi ghwa tete? Ajhele ndo K'yara andaghisi kujha mtawala ni n'kombozi K'yara andaghisi kwa kibhoko kya malaika ambajhe an'tokili Musa mu kichaka.
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 Musa abhalonguisi kuhomela Misri baada jha kubhomba miujiza ni ishara kuimisri ni kubahari jha Shamu, ni kulijangwa kwa kipindi kya miaka arobaini.
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 Ndo Musa ojho jhaabhajobhili bhanu bha Israeli kujha, K'yara ibetakubhajhinubila nabii kuhomele miongonni mwa bhalongo bhinu, nabii kama nene.
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 Ojho ndo munu ambajhe ajhele ku n'kutano ku lijangwa ni malaika ambajhe alongi nakhu pa kidonda Sinai. Ojho ndo munu apokili lilobhi lyalijhe hai ni kutupela tete.
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 Ojho ndo munu ambajhe bhadadijhitu bhabeli kuntii; bhan'sukumili patali ni mu mioyo ghyabho bhageukili Misri.
to whom our fathers were not willing to be obedient, but thrust him away, and turned back in their hearts towards Egypt,
40 Mu kipindi e'ku bhan'jobhili Haruni.'tutengeneselayi miungu ghyaghibetakutulongosya. Musa ojho, jhaatulongosiaghe kuhomela nchi jha Misri, tumanyilepi kyakin'kolili.'
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 Hiyo bhatengenisi liloli kwa magono aghu ni kupisya sadaka kwa sanamu ejhu na bhahobheleli kwa ndabha jha mbombo jhe mabhoko gha bhene.
And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 Lakini K'yara abhageuzili ni kubhapela bhaabudu ajhi litondo lya kunani, kama kya jhilembibhu mu kitabu kya manabii, je, munihomesili nene sadaka sya bhanyama bha mubhachijhili ku jangwa kwa muda bhwa miaka arobaini nyumba jha Israeli?
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 Mujhedekili hema jha kubhonanila jha Moleki ni litondo lya K'yara refani, ni picha jha muteng'enisi ni kubhaabudu bhene: ne nibetakubhapeleka patali zaidi jha Babeli.
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 Bhadadi jhitu bha jhe ni hema lya kubhonanila jha bhushuhuda jangwani kama K'yara kyaamuili bhoilongela ni Musa, kwamba ngaaiteng'enisi kwa mfano bhwa bhola bhwaabhuene.
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 E'le ndo lihema ambalyobha dadi jhitu, kwa bhwakati ghwa bhene bhaletibhu mu nchi ni Joshua. Ejhhe jhatokili bhwakati bho bhajhingili kumiliki taifa ambalyo K'yara abhabhengili kabla jha uwepo ghwa bha dadi jhitu. Ejhe jha jhele naha mpaka magono gha Daudi,
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 ambajhe akabhaili kibanda makao kwa k'yara ghwa Yakobo
who found favor before God, and asked that he should build a tabernacle for the house of Jacob.
47 Lakini Sulemani an'jengili nyumba jha K'yara.
But Solomon built a house for him.
48 Hata naha jhe ajhe kunani itama lepi munyumba sya sijengebhu kwa mabhoko; ejhe kama nabii kya ajobhili,
But the Most High dwelleth not in houses built with hands, as the prophet says,
49 Mbingu ndo kiti kyangu kya enzi, ni dunia ndo sehemu jha kubheka magolo gha jhoni. Nyumba jha aina jheleku mwibetakujenga? ijobha Bwana; jhjhendaku sehemu jha nene jha kup'omoseka?
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 Siyo kibhoko kya nene kya kibhombili agha ghoha?
Hath not my hand made all of these things?
51 Enye bhanu bha mujhe ni singu sikatafu mwam'belikuiribhwa mioyoni mb'olokolo, khila mara mukampinga Roho mtakatifu; mwibhombil.
Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do ye.
52 Ni nabii jholeku katika manabii ambajhe bhadadi jhinu bhan'tesilipi? Bhabhakhomili manabii bhoha bhabhetokili kabla jha ujio bhwa mmonga mwenye haki,' ni henu mmalikujha mwebhasaliti ni bhauajhi bha muene kabhole,
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 enyi bhanu jha mwapokili sheria jhela jha laghisibhu ni malaika lakini mwajhikamuili lepi.”
who received the law in the administrations of angels, and did not keep it.
54 Kisha bhajumbe bha baraza bhobhap'eliki mambo agha, bhanyanyibhu mioyo ghya bhene, bhakan'syaghila minu Stefano.
And hearing these words, they were cut through their hearts and gnashed their teeth at him.
55 Lakini muene bho amemili Roho mtakatifu, alolili kumbinguni kwa makini ni kubhubhona utukufu bhwa K'yara; ni kumbona Yesu ajhemili kibhoko kya kuume kya K'yara.
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 Stefano akajobha, “Langayi nijhibhwene mbingu sifungwiki, ni Mwana gha Adamu ajhemili kibhoko kya kuume kya K'yara.”
and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Lakini bhajmbe bhe baraza bhapigili kelele kwa sauti mbaha, bhakaziba mb'olokoto sya bhene, bhakan'jumbilila kwa pamonga,
And crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears, and unanimously rushed on him,
58 Bhakan'tagha kwibhala mu masi ni kun'tobha ni maganga; ni mashahidi bhakafula nghobho sya bhene kwibhala ni kubheka pasi karibu ni magolo gha n'songolo jhaakutibhweghe Sauli.
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 Bhwakati bhakan'tobha magangaa Stefano, ajhendelili kunkuta Bwana ni kujobha, “Bwana Yesu pokelayi roho jhangu,”.
and continued to stone Stephen, calling upon the Lord, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 Akapiga magoti ni kukuta kwa sauti mbaha, “Bwana, usibhabhalangili dhambi ejhe.” Bho ajobhi aghu akatili roho.
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.
