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;

Come out from thy country and from thy kindred, and come hither into the land which I will show unto thee.

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 Rangte ih Abraham suh baatta: ‘An sutoom satoom loong ah minok mihah nah song rum ah, erah doh neng loong ah chaabaji paang raangtaan ih dah ih siiwi rum ah.
And thus God spoke, that his seed shall sojourn in a strange land, and they will enslave it and oppress it four hundred years.

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.

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.

And the patriarchs, envying Joseph, sold him into Egypt:

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 Erah lidi, Ijip nyia Kanaan hah noongrep ni ram ang ano rapne ih cham rumta. Sengte sengwah loong ih phak asat ju choh jam muh,
And the famine came into all the land and Canaan, and great distress: and our fathers found no sustenance.

And the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren, and his race became manifest to Pharaoh.

And Joseph sending, called to him Jacob his father, and all the family, seventy-five souls.

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.

When the time of the promise which God made with Abraham drew nigh, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Erah lih adi, Josep men lajatte mih Ijip Luuwang we angta.
until another king arose over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

He dealing fraudulently with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their infants, so that they should not live.

And he being exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him, and adopted him for a son to herself.
22 Moses suh Ijip nok hah tiit jirep ah nyootsoot kano jatwah jeewah eh hoonta.
And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and was mighty in his words and works.
23 “Moses paang rookbaji ang ano, hejaat hepaat ah mamah ih siiwi rumta erah ah jat suh ngeh ih jam thoithakta.
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 Heh mina wasiit Ijip mih ih siiwi ah japtup ano, Moses ih erah mih ah etek haat eta. (
And seeing a certain one suffering affliction, he interposed, and executed vengeance in behalf of the oppressed one, slaying the Egyptian.
25 Moses ih thunta, heh mina loong ah ih baata jatrum hangnih, ngah Rangte ih neng doksiit suh daapkaat halang ngeh ah, eno heh mina loong ah ih tajat rumta).
And he supposed that his brethren would understand that God through his hand is giving them salvation: but they did not recognize it.
26 Erah saalih adi Ijirel nok hah wanyi botmui arah japtup ano paakpang damdi taat renbaat nyuuta. ‘Boichaat thaak ansih,’ jaaroh nyi, ‘set Ijirel mina tanih ang kansih; tiimte botmui lansih?’
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 Eno o ih wasiit ah siiwiita erah mih ah ih Moses ah haangko pitthengta. ‘Sek laktung nah an ih dande theng ngeh ih o ih poon halu?’
And the one injuring his neighbor thrust him away, saying, Who appointeth you a leader and a judge over us?
28 ‘Miinnyah Ijip nok hah tekbuh tang ah likhiik tekbuh ang ngeh ih nih li halang?’
whether do you wish to kill me, in the manner in which you slew the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Moses ih erah jeng ah japchaat ano, Ijip hah nawa Midian hah ni soonkah ano moong songtong kata. Erah ni heh sah miwasah wanyi tupta.
And at this word Moses fled, and became a sojourner in the land of Midia, where he begat two sons.
30 “Paang rookbaji lini, Moses ngathong ni Rangte kaamwah ah Sinai Kong ni phisaang hah ni weelu damdi dongjengta.
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 Erah japtup ano, Moses ah rapne ih paatjaata, eno rapniine ih sok suh weeluuta adi tiitkhoom kata. Eno Teesu jengta ah japchaatta;
And Moses, seeing the sight, was astonished: and he coming nigh to investigate, the voice of the Lord came:
32 ‘Ngah ante anwah Rangte, Abraham Rangte, Esak nyia Jaakob Rangte.’ Moses ih lanaan sok thang ih mochoota.
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 Teesu ih Moses suh liita, ‘An lasong ah khook haat uh an chaplu ah Esa hah.
And the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet: for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.
34 Ijip ni nga mina loong rapne ih cham arah japtup hang. Nenghu nengri chaat hang, Ngah neng doksiit puipang suh ra halang. Amadoh raaho; Ngah ih an Ijip hah nah kaat thuk ha.’
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 “Moses ah Ijirel mina ih thaangju et arah mina angta. ‘Seng pante nyia maat hoonte angtheng ngeh ih o ih thiik halu?’ Miloong ah ih emah kali rumta. Enoothong weeluuta adi Rangte dongjengta, Moses ah noksong pante nyia doksiitte, heh damdoh rangsah roong mokah ah ngeh ah.
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 Moses ih, Ijip hah ni nyia Juusisaang (Juusih esiit je ah, erah amadi uh erah suh juusih essang ngeh ih menha) adi nyia phisaang hah ni mih paatjaajih loong ah noisok ano heh mina loong ah Ijip hah nawa doksiit dowa.
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 Moses ih Ijirel noksong suh baatta, ‘Rangte ih, ngah kaat thuk halang ah likhiik khowah kaat thuk ha, eno erah mina ah sen mina dowa ang ah.’
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 Moses ah Ijirel mina loong damdi phisaang hah ni tum roongtong rumta; sente senwah loong nyia rangsah damdi Sinai Kong ni kah chowaanta, enooleh Rangte khothing jengkhaap ah seng suh toombaat tahe.
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 “Enoothong sengte sengwah loong ah ih Moses jeng ah taboichaat rumta; heh jeng lalek boichaat thang ih Ijip hah ko we ngaakwang thung ang rumta.
to whom our fathers were not willing to be obedient, but thrust him away, and turned back in their hearts towards Egypt,
40 Erah thoidi neng ih Aroon suh li rumta, ‘Seng lamsiitte Rangte hoon kohe. Ijip hah nawa seng doksiitte, Moses bah tajatke tiim ang koja.’
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 Erah lilih, maan laaphaang tongmih hoon rum ano, roomsoom rumta, erah lih adi neng ih hoonta tongmih phoongpha mendi phaksat ah room phaksah ih rumta.
And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 Erah thoidi neng Rangte ah neng dam dowa doksoon ano rang dowa ritsih nyia rang ni tiimjih jeela erah loong ah soomtu thuk rumta, erah tiit ah khowah loong leedap ni raangthiin choi: ‘Ijirel noksong loong! Phisaang hah ni paang rookbaji angtan adoh luiamaan ah nga soomtu suh tadook tan.
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 Erah tumhui tan abah, Molek Rangte raangtaan ih angta; adoleh ritsih rangte, Rephan laaphaang raangtaan ih; erah loong abah sen ih soomtu theng tongmih angta. Erah raangtaan ih sen loong ah Bebiloon jiit nah phanhaat kaat rumha.’
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 “Sengte sengwah loong ih bah phisaang hah ni Rangte waktong theng Nyutaap ah neng damdam ih tumhui rumta. Erah mamah ih hoon theng ah, Rangte ih Moses suh noisokta ah likhiik ih hoon rumta.
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 Lini, sengte sengwah loong ih neng wah jiin nawa thaangta Nyutaap ah Josua damdi wakkah rumta di neng damdam ih tumhui rumta. Eno Rangte ih mathan deek akaan angta loong ah nengngah nengngah ih tum phanjoh haatta. Erah Nyutaap ah Dewid, Luuwang maang langlang ih erah hadaang adi thok tongta.
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 Rangte ih Dewid suh ese choh kano Dewid ih Jaakob Rangte nok hoon thuk weehang ngeh ih suta.
who found favor before God, and asked that he should build a tabernacle for the house of Jacob.
47 Enoothong erah rangsoomnok ah Solomon Luuwang ih liwang ni thoon tom hoonta.
But Solomon built a house for him.
48 “Enoothong Echoong thoon ni tongte Rangte ah mina ih hoon hi nok ni tatongta; khowah ih liiha likhiik ah,
But the Most High dwelleth not in houses built with hands, as the prophet says,
49 ‘Rangmong ah nga tongtheng, nyia hah ah nga lah naktheng, Teesu ih liiha, Nga raangtaan ih sen ih tiim nok ma hoon an? Nga tongtheng nok ah mani ah?
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 Arah loong ah nga lak ih tanih hoontang?’
Hath not my hand made all of these things?
51 “Senten senmong ah jong ajaan likhiik mamah angtan!” Stephen ih arah tiit ah jangbaat roh ih kaatta. “Sen thung ah mamah sengseng angtan, Rangte tiitkhaap chaat suh sen na ah mamah sengseng ih baang tan! Seng loong ah sente senwah likhiik; sen ih uh Esa Chiiala ah saarookwet takap kan!
Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do ye.
52 Sente senwah ih khowah lasiiwiite eje nih ah? Teewadi Laksuh kateng ah erak eha ngeh ih Rangte tiit baat kaatte ah uh neng ih tek haatta. Eno sen ih erah mih ah mokwaan anno tek haat han.
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 Rangte hootthe ah rangsah jiin nawa choh thaangte sen loong ah —erabah uh heh jeng ah taboichaat kan!”
who received the law in the administrations of angels, and did not keep it.
54 Ngoongthumte loong ah Stephen jeng ah chaat rum ano, neng pha ah phak ah ih khadah rumta.
And hearing these words, they were cut through their hearts and gnashed their teeth at him.
55 Stephen ah Esa Chiiala pan angte angta, rangko toon sokwan adi Rangte chaan aphaan nyia Jisu jaawah ko ih chap arah tupwanta.
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 “Sok thaak an!” Stephen ih baat rumta. “Rangmong ah daapchoi tupwan lang, erah di Mina Sah Rangte damdi jaawah ko chap arah tupwan lang!”
and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Ngoongthumte loong ah riiraak rum ano neng na ah neng lak ih kepjoh rumta. Miloong ah Stephen taangko ih tuutmui karum ano,
And crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears, and unanimously rushed on him,
58 erah samnuthung dowa dokphan haatkaat rumta, eno Jong ih patkaat rumta. Erah tupte haaki loong ah ih neng nyuh nengkhat ah jaaro wasiit Sool ngeh ih angta, reeni thiinhaat rumta.
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 Jong ih patrum ah damdi Stephen ih Teesu men ah poon ano rangsoomta, “Teesu ngaachi ngaala ah thaang hang!”
and continued to stone Stephen, calling upon the Lord, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 Stephen ah heh lakuh ni chooktong ano eroongwah ih riihuuta, “Teesu! Neng rangdah ah nak samthun weeuh!” Emah ih jeng ano thaktiita.
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.
