1 Mu prista mukulwana chacho, “izi zintu zeniti?”
Then sayde ye chefe prest: is it even so?
2 sitefana chacho, “va nchizyangu ni ve shangu, muteke kwangu: Ireeza we nkanya ava voneki kwe shetu Abrahama hava kwina mwa mesopotamia, naseni ku kekala kwa haran;
And he sayde: ye men brethren and fathers harken to. The God of glory appered vnto oure father Abraha whyll he was yet in Mesopotamia before he dwelt in Charran

Then came he out of the londe of Chaldey and dwelt in Charran. And after that assone as his father was deed he brought him into this lande in which ye now dwell
5 kakwina chavahi kwali chokuyola, ne, kena chivali chikando kuti alyate itende hateni. kono ava sepisi- nanga aho Abrahama kena aveni kuva kale mwana-ilikuti ahinde inkanda kuva chiluwo chakwe ni lusika lwakwe kuzwa kwali.
and he gave him none inheritaunce in it no not the bredeth of a fote: but promised yt he wolde geve it to him to possesse and to his seed after him when as yet he had no chylde.
6 Ireeza avali kuwamba kwali vuti, ishika lyakwe mulikahale inako zana mwi nkanda isali yayo, mi vene ve nkanda vaka va vike muvuhikana niku va nyandisa ke mianda yone.
God verely spake on this wyse that his seade shulde be a dweller in a straunge londe and that they shulde kepe them in bondage and entreate them evyll. iiii. C. yeares.
7 imi muni atule inkanda mwete vakave vahikana; chawamba Ireeza; mi chizamanezo kavazwe mwateni nikuni lapela mwechi chivaka;
But the nacion to whom they shalbe in bondage will I iudge sayde God. And after that shall they come forthe and serve me in this place.
8 mi avahi Abrahama chilikani cho mupato, cwale Abrahama cheza kuva isi wa Isaka niku mutwala ku mupato kamazuva amana lyanza ni tunwe to tatwe. Isaka cheza kuva isi wa Jakovo, mi Jacovo isi wa vana ve kumi nivo vele.
And he gave him the covenaunt of circumcision. And he begat Isaac and circumcised him the viii. daye and Isaac begat Iacob and Iacob the twelve patriarkes
9 Vayendi vava susuwezwe cho muuna kwineku lya Josefa mi chiva muwuza kwa Egepita, mi Ireeza ava kwina naye,
And the patriarkes havinge indignacio solde Ioseph into Egipte. And God was with him
10 mi chamulukulula ku manyando akwe onse, nikumuha chisemo ni butali havusu bwa Pharaoh, mulena wa Egepita. Pharaoh chamupanga ngambela mwa Egepita ni mwinzuvo yakwe yonse.
and delivered him out of all his adversities. And gave him faveour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao kynge of Egipte which made him governer over Egipte and over all his housholde.
11 Linu aho chikweza inzala monse mwa Egepita ni kanana, Ni manyando makando mi veshetu kena vavawani zilyo.
Then came ther a derth over all the londe of Egipt and Canaan and great affliccion that our fathers founde no sustenauce.
12 Kono jakovo hazuwa kuti kwina mundale mwa Egepita cha tumina veshetu va veshetu che ntanzi.
But when Iacob hearde that ther was corne in Egipte he sent oure fathers fyrst
13 cho vuveli Josefa chalivonahaza ku vakwame; mi mahasi a Josefa chiveza kwi ziveka kwa Pharaoh.
and at the seconde tyme Ioseph was knowen of his brethren and Iosephs kynred was made knowne vnto Pharao.
14 Josefa cha vona vamukulwe kuti vakasumpe Jamusi isi wakwe kwiza kwa Egepita, ni mahasi akwe onse, makumi amana iyanza ni makumi ovele ni vantu va mana iyanza.
Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought and all his kynne thre score and xv. soules.
15 Cwale Jakovo chayenda mwa Egepita; cha kafwa, iye ni vasukulu va vasukulu.
And Iacob descended into Egipte and dyed bothe he and oure fathers
16 Vava twalwa kwa shecham nikuka lazikwa mwi vita ilyo Abrahama lyavawuli ke ntenko mwa silivela ni vana va hamor mwa shecham.
and were translated into Sichem ond were put in ye sepulcre that Abraham bought for money of the sonnes of Emor at Sichem.
17 Sina inako ye nsepiso hachiyina hafuhi, insepiso yava pangi Ireeza kwa Abrahama, vantu vava kuli niku hweza mwa Egepita,
When ye tyme of ye promes drue nye (which God had sworme to Abraham) the people grewe and multiplied in Egipte
18 haisi hakuva kezi zumwi Simwine mwa Egepita, uzu murena yasena va kwizi chintu kuamana ni Josefa.
till another kynge arose which knewe not of Ioseph.
19 Murena yoswana uzu ava chengeleli vantu niku nyandisi va sukulu vave sukulu, vavahi vana vavo kwi nkozi niva hupula kuti kavahale.
The same dealte suttelly with oure kynred and evyll intreated oure fathers and made them to cast oute their younge chyldren that they shuld not remayne alyve.
20 Keyo inako Mushe ava pepwa, sekeli mulotu havusu bwe ireeza, mi ava kuvikitwe mwi nzuvo ivesi cha mwezi yo tatwe.
The same tyme was Moses borne and was a proper childe in ye sight of God which was norisshed vp in his fathers housse thre monethes.
21 hava ku vikitwe hanze, mwana Pharaoh ava muañuli niku mulela sina njiwakwe.
When he was cast out Pharoes doughter toke him vp and norisshed him vp for her awne sonne.
22 Mushe ava kwina inzivo mwintuto zonse za Egepita; mi avana ziho mu manzwi ni mumitendo.
And Moses was learned in all maner wisdome of the Egipcians and was mighty in dedes and in wordes.
23 kono hachavali kuchutile kuzilimo ze kumi zone, chiya keza munkulo yakwe kuti akapotele va mukulwakwe, vaana va isilaele.
And when he was full forty yeare olde it came into his hert to visit his brethren the chyldren of Israhel.
24 kuvona mu isilaele na sikululwa, Mushe chamu lamulela ni ku vozekeza yava ku lwisa isilaele:
And when he sawe one of them suffre wronge he defended him and avenged his quarell that had the harme done to him and smote the Egypcian.
25 Ava kutele kuti va mukulwe kava zuwisise kuti Ireeza che yanza lyakwe ava kuva haza, kono kena vava zuwisisi.
For he supposed hys brethren wolde have vnderstonde how yt God by his hondes shuld save them But they vnderstode not.
26 Izuva lyitatama cheza kuvamwi ma Isilaele vavakwete kupanga inkani; avaliki kuva vika mwinkozo hamwina; chacho; vakwame, muva kwaluzuvo, chinzi hamu lizuwisa kuchisa?'
And the next daye he shewed him selfe vnto the as they strove and wolde have set the at one agayne sayinge: Syrs ye are brethren why hurte ye one another?
27 kono yava fosekezi zumwi chamu timba, nikucho,' yava kupangi muyendisi ni muatuli hewulu lyetu?
But he that dyd his neghbour wronge thrust him awaye sayinge: who made ye a rular and a iudge amonge vs?
28 kana usaka kunihaya, sina movehaili ma Egepita izona?
What wilt thou kyll me as thou dyddest the Egyptian yester daye?
29 Mushe chatiya hamana kuzuwa izi; cheza kuva muyendi mwinkanda ya midian, uko kwavavi isi wa vaana vo vele.
Then fleed Moses at that sayenge and was a stranger in the londe of Madian where he begat two sonnes.
30 zilimo ze kumi yone hazihita, iñiloi chilyeza kuli vonahaza mwihalaupa lya mount sinayi, mu mulilo mukando muka zuka.
And when. xl. yeares were expired ther appered to him in the wyldernes of mounte Syna an angell of the Lorde in a flamme of fyre in a busshe.
31 Mushe ha vona mulilo, cha komoka ha vona izo; mi hava ku chunine kuka vona izo, chikweza inzwi lye Ireeza, kuwamba,
When Moses sawe it he wondred at the syght. And as he drue neare to beholde the voyce of the Lorde came vnto him:
32 njime Ireeza wa veshako, Ireeza wa Abrahama, niwa Isaka, niwa Jakovo,' Mushe cha chachalika mi kena va liki ku lola.
I am ye God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob. Moses trembled and durst not beholde.
33 Ireeza cha wamba kwali, 'chupule insangu zako, kaho chivaka cho zimene hachili chivaka chi jolola.
Then sayde ye Lorde to him: Put of thy showes from thy fete for the place where thou stondest is holy grounde.
34 Niva voni luli manyando avantu vangu se vena mwa Egepita; niva zuwi intongosi zavo, mi niva kezi kwiza kuva haza; cwale wize, kani ku tume kwa Egepita.'
I have perfectly sene the affliccion of my people which is in Egypte and I have hearde their gronynge and am come doune to delyver them. And now come and I will sende the into Egypte.
35 Uzu Mushe uvava kani, havava wambi,' njeni yava kupangi muyendisi ni muatuli?' - njeye Ireeza yava tumi kuva zonse muyendisi ni mulukululi. Ireeza ava mutumi ke yanza lye ñiloyi lyiva voneki kwa Mushe muka zuka.
This Moses whom they forsoke sayinge: who made the a ruelar and a iudge: the same God sent bothe a ruler and delyverer by ye hondes of the angell which appered to him in the busshe.
36 Mushe chava zwisa mwa Egepita, hamana kupanga imakazo ni zisupo mwa Egepita mi nikwiwate lyempi, mi nimwihalaupa ke zilimo zimana makumi one.
And the same brought them out shewynge wonders and signes in Egypte and in the reed see and in the wyldernes. xl. yeares.
37 Nji Mushe yoswana yava wambi kuvantu va Isilaele,' Ireeza ka vuse mu polofita wenu mukati kava mukulwenu, mupolofita ya swana neme.'
This is that Moses which sayde vnto the chyldre of Israel: A Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you of youre brethren lyke vnto me him shall ye heare.
38 Uzu nji mukwame yava kwina muchikwata mwi halaupa ne ñiloyi lyiva wambi naye kwi rundu lya sinai. Uzu njimukwame yava kwina niva sukulu vava sukulu; uzu njimukwame yava amuheli manzwi ahala zwiza kutuha.
This is he that was in ye congregacion in the wyldernes with the angell which spake to him in ye moute Syna and with oure fathers. This man receaved the worde of lyfe to geve vnto vs
39 Uzu nji mukwame uzo va sukulu vava sukulu vava kani kwichilila; vava mutandili kule navo, mi mwinkulo zavo vava voli kwa Egepita.
to who oure fathers wolde not obeye but cast it from them and in their hertes turned backe agayne into Egypte
40 Keyo inako chiva wamba kwa Aruni,' Tupangile va zimu vete va tuyendise. haili kozu Mushe, yava tuzwisi mwinkanda ya Egepita, katwizi chapangahala kwali.'
sayinge vnto Aaron: Make vs goddes to goo before vs. For this Moses that brought vs out of the londe of Egypte we wote not what is become of him.
41 Cwale chiva panga iñombe mwao mazuva nikuleta chitavelo kwecho chizimu, niku tava cho musevezi wa mayanza yavo.
And they made a calfe in those dayes and offered sacrifice vnto the ymage and reioysed in the workes of their awne hondes.
42 Kono Ireeza cha sanduka niku va siya kuti va lapele inkani mwiwulu, sina mwiñolelwemwi mbuka ya mapolofita,' kana muva nihi iñombe ni chitavelo ke zilimo zimana makumi one mwi halaupa, inzuvo ya Isilaele?
Then God turned him selfe and gave them vp that they shuld worship the starres of the skye as it is written in the boke of the prophetes. O ye of ye housse of Israel gave ye to me sacrefices and meate offerynges by the space of xl. yeares in the wildernes?

And ye toke vnto you the tabernacle of Moloch and the starre of youre god Remphan figures which ye made to worshippe them. And I will translate you beyonde Babylon.
44 Va sukulu vava sukulu sevena itabernaka yo vupaki yo mwihalaupa, Sina Ireeza mwava laeli hava kuwamba ni Mushe, kuti aipange sina chivupeho chava voni.
Oure fathers had the tabernacle of witnes in ye wyldernes as he had apoynted the speakynge vnto Moses that he shuld make it acordynge to the fassion that he had sene.
45 Ichi njichintu va sukulu va vasukulu, mwinzila yavo, kuleta munkanda ni Joshuwa. Ichi chiva pangahali havavezi kwinjila nikuluwa mwinkanda izo Ireeza zava zwisi havusu bwava sukulu vava sukulu. Ivakwina vulyo mbwita mu mazuva a Davida,
Which tabernacle oure fathers receaved and brought it in with Iosue into the possession of the gentyls which God drave out before the face of oure fathers vnto the tyme of David
46 yava wani chisemo mumenso a Ireeza; ava kumbili kuwana chivaka chamekalo cha Ireeza wa Jakovo.
which founde favour before God and desyred that he myght fynde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
47 Kono Solomoni ava zakili Ireeza izuvo.
But Salomon bylt him an housse.
48 Nihakuva bulyo, yohanzi kekali mumazuvo okuzaka ni, mayanza; iswana sina mupolofita ha wamba,
How be it he that is hyest of all dwelleth not in teple made with hondes as saith the Prophete:
49 Iwulu chihuna changu, mi ifasi malyatilo amatende angu. Inzuvonzi yowola kuni zakila? Simwine uwamba: kapa chivaka chamapumulelo angu chinahi?
Heven is my seate and erth is my fote stole what housse will ye bylde for me sayth the Lorde? or what place is it that I shuld rest in?
50 kena kuti iyanza lyangu lyipangi izi zintu zonse?'
hath not my honde made all these thinges?
51 Inwe vantu va zuminine insingo nive inkulo zi sena mumupato ni matwi, mukaninanga Luho Lujolola; mupanga sina muvava kupangira va sukulu vava sukulwenu.
Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised hertes and eares: ye have all wayes resisted the holy goost: as youre fathers dyd so do ye.
52 Njeni kuva porofita va sukulu vava sukulwenu isena uvavanyandisi? vavehayi maporofita vava voneki ku matangiro okukeza kuyo jolola; mi hanu chimweza kuva vaveteki ni vehayi vakwe nemwe,
Which of the prophetes have not youre fathers persecuted? And they have slayne them which shewed before of the commynge of that iust whom ye have now betrayed and mordred.
53 Inwe vantu muva amuheli milao ivatangwa ku mañiloyi, kono kena muva ichilili.”
And ye also have receaved a lawe by the ordinaunce of angels and have not kept it.
54 Linu va kwame ve nkuta hava zuwa izi zintu, vava fundwa kwinkulo, chiva suma meeno avo kwa sitefeni.
When they hearde these thinges their hertes clave a sunder and they gnasshed on him with their tethe.
55 Kono iye, kakwizula luho lu jolala, chalolelela kwi wulu chokutokomela mi chavona inkanya ye Ireeza; mi chavona Jesu na zimene kwiyanza lya chilyiso lye Ireeza.
But he beynge full of the holy goost loked vp stedfastlye with his eyes into heven and sawe the glorie of God and Iesus stondynge on the ryght honde of God
56 Sitefani chawamba, “lole, nibwene mawulu eyalukite, mi mwana muntu uzimene kwiyanza lye chiliso lye Ireeza.”
and sayde: beholde I se the hevens open and the sonne of man stondynge on the ryght honde of god.
57 Kono ve nkuta chiva huweleza mwinzwi lyikando, nikwiyala matwi avo niku muhwelela hamwina vonse;
Then they gave a shute with a loude voyce and stopped their eares and ranne apon him all at once
58 vava muzindiri hanze yo muleneñi nikumu pwachola: mi impaki chiza zala zi zwato zavo za hanze ha matende a muswisu wa muhwile yo supwa Saule.
and caste him out of the cite and stoned him. And the witnesses layde doune their clothes at a yonge mannes fete named Saul.
59 havavali kupwachola sitefani, avazwili havusu kusumpa kwa Simwine ni kuwamba,” Simwine Jesu, tambule luho lwangu.”
And they stoned Steven callynge on and sayinge: Lorde Iesu receave my sprete.
60 Cha kuvama hansi niku huwa ke linzwi ikando, “Simwine, kanji ukwati ichi chivi kuvali.” hacha mana kuwamba izi, chalala.
And he kneled doune and cryed with a loude voyce: Lorde laye not this synne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken he fell a slepe.
