Imisebenzi 7
1 Ngakho umphristi omkhulu wasembuza wathi, “Ukumangalelwa konke lokhu kuliqiniso na?”
Tua zawkciang in thiampi sang in, hi thu te tabangma ziam? ci hi.
2 Kulokhu waphendula wathi: “Bafowethu labobaba ake lingilalele! UNkulunkulu wenkazimulo waziveza kubaba wethu u-Abhrahama esahlala eMesophothamiya, engakahlali eHarani.
Taciang Stephen in, suapui te le pa te awng, ngai vun; i pa Abraham sia Haran ah a om ma, Mesopotamia ah a omlai tak in, a vanglian Pathian sia ama tung ah kilang a,
3 UNkulunkulu wathi, ‘Tshiya ilizwe lakini labantu bakini uye elizweni engizakutshengisa lona.’
Ama tung ah, na ngam le na mipui te sung pan in pusuak in a, kong lak tu ngam ah pai in, ci hi.
4 Ngakho wasuka elizweni lamaKhaladiya wayahlala eHarani. Ngemva kokufa kukayise, uNkulunkulu wamletha kuleli ilizwe lapho eselihlala khona manje.
Tua zawkciang in Chaldaeans ngam pan pusuak a, Haran khua ah om hi: tua mun pan a pa a thi ciang in, tu in na omna uh mun, hi ngamsung ah ki khin hi.
5 Kamuphanga lifa lapha loba nje isiqintshana somhlabathi. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wamthembisa ukuthi yena lezizukulwane zakhe ngemva kwakhe babezalizuza ilizwe lelo libe ngelabo, loba nje ngalesosikhathi u-Abhrahama wayengelamntwana.
Taciang hi ngam sung ah a peang ngak natu na ngawn, mun pia ngawl hi: ahihang ama le a suan le pal te sia hi ngam pia tu in ta a nei ma in, kamciam pia zo hi.
6 UNkulunkulu wakhuluma laye kanje: ‘Izizukulwane zakho zizakuba ngabezizweni elizweni elingayisilo lazo okweminyaka engamakhulu amane, njalo zizagqilazwa, zihlukuluzwe.
Taciang Pathian in hi bang in son hi, a suan le pal te sia ngamdang ah peam tu uh a; kum zali sung sal tang in ngimna thuak tu uh hi.
7 Ngizasijezisa lesosizwe esibagqilazayo,’ kusitsho uNkulunkulu, ‘emva kwalokho bazaphuma kulelolizwe bangikhonze kuyonale indawo.’
Taciang a saltanna mun minam te keima in thu ka khen tu hi, tua zawkciang in amate pusuak tu uh a, hi mun ah keima na seam tu uh hi, ci in Pathian in ci hi.
8 Wasenika u-Abhrahama isivumelwano sokusoka. U-Abhrahama waba nguyise ka-Isaka, wamsoka ngemva kwensuku eziyisificaminwembili ezelwe. Ngemva kwalokho u-Isaka waba nguyise kaJakhobe, uJakhobe yena waba nguyise wabokhokho abalitshumi lambili.
Taciang Pathian in Abraham sia vunteap tanna kamciam pia hi: taciang Abraham in Isaac nei a, ni liat ni ciang in a vunteap tansak hi; taciang Isaac in Jacob nei a; taciang Jacob in minam a dingsak sawm le ni te nei hi.
9 Ngenxa yokuthi okhokho babalomhawu ngoJosefa, bamthengisela eGibhithe njengesigqili. Kodwa uNkulunkulu waba laye
Taciang minam a dingsak te in ki enna hang in Joseph sia Egypt ngam ah zuak uh hi napi: Pathian in ompui a,
10 wamephula kuzozonke inhlupho zakhe. Wanika uJosefa inhlakanipho, wamenza wathandwa nguFaro, inkosi yaseGibhithe. Yona yasimenza umbusi eGibhithe lakuso sonke isigodlo sakhe.
Haksatna theampo sung pan in suatak in, Egypt kumpipa Pharaoh mai ah ciimna le maipha pia hi; taciang Egypt ngam le ama inn theampo tung ah a uk tu in vawt hi.
11 Indlala yasihlasela lonke elaseGibhithe leleKhenani, kwaba lobunzima obukhulu ngoba okhokho bethu bakuswela ukudla.
Egypt ngam le Canaan ngamsung theampo ah kialtung a, taciang haksatna lianpi theng ahikom in i pu i pa te bangma neak tu muzo ngawl uh hi.
12 UJakhobe esezwile ukuthi amabele ayekhona eGibhithe, wathuma okhokho bethu ekuhambeni kwabo kwakuqala.
Ahihang Jacob in Egypt ngam ah an om hi, ci a zak ciang in, i pu le pa te a masabel in paisak hi.
13 Sebesiya khona okwesibili, uJosefa wabatshela abanewabo ukuthi wayengubani, njalo uFaro waziswa ngabakibo kaJosefa.
Taciang a ni veina ciang in Joseph in a suapui te kung ah ama thu hesak a; taciang Joseph i mealheak te sia Pharaoh kung ah hesak hi.
14 Ngemva kwalokho uJosefa wasebiza uyise uJakhobe ukuthi eze labendlu yakhe bonke, kungabantu abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu sebebonke.
Tua zawkciang in Joseph in paisak a, a pa Jacob le a mealheak theampo mihing sawm sali le nga te sia ama kung ah sam hi.
15 Ngakho uJakhobe wasesehlela kweleGibhithe lapho afela khona yena kanye labokhokho bethu.
Tua ahikom Jacob sia Egypt ngam ah pai a, ama le i pupi te tuak ah thi hi,
16 Izidumbu zabo zabuyiswa eShekhemu zabekwa ethuneni elathengwa ngu-Abhrahama emadodaneni kaHamori eShekhemu ngemali ethile.
A luanghawm sia Shechem ah pua uh a, Abraham in Hamor tapa kung pan dangka taw a lei sa than ah vui hi. Hamor sia Shechem i pa a hihi.
17 Kwathi isikhathi sesisondele esokuthi uNkulunkulu agcwalise isithembiso sakhe ku-Abhrahama, inani labantu bakithi eGibhithe landa ngamandla.
Ahihang Pathian in Abraham tung ah kiciam in kamciamna hun a nai ciang in, Egypt ngam ah amate khang in pung seseam uh hi,
18 Kwasekusiba ‘lenye inkosi eyayingazi lutho ngoJosefa yaba ngumbusi eGibhithe.’
Joseph a he ngawl a dang kumpi khat hong khan dong in pung uh hi.
19 Yaba lesihluku ebantwini bakithi, yancindezela okhokho bethu ngokubabamba ngamandla ukuthi balahlele khatshana insane zabo ezisanda kuzalwa ukuthi zife.
Tua kumpipa in i mipui te sia philphit tak in theambawl uh a, nausen te a nungta ngawl tu in vawk tu in i pupi te sia phatngawlna taw vawtsia uh hi.
20 Ngalesosikhathi uMosi wazalwa, njalo engasumntwana makhaza. Okwezinyanga ezintathu wondliwa endlini kayise.
Tua hun in Moses suak a, ama sia hoi mama hi, taciang a pa inn ah tha thum sung ki vak hi:
21 Kwathi esebekwe phandle, indodakazi kaFaro yamthatha yamkhulisa njengomntanayo.
Taciang ama sia a puasang ah a ki vawk ciang in, Pharaoh tanu in la a, ama tapa tu in vak hi.
22 UMosi wafundiswa kuyo yonke inhlakanipho yamaGibhithe, eligagu lokukhuluma lokwenza.
Tua Moses in Egypt te pilna theampo sin a, ama sia kampau le sepna ah lawcing mama hi.
23 Kwathi uMosi eseleminyaka engamatshumi amane obudala, wacabanga ukuya kwethekelela abantu bakibo, abako-Israyeli.
Taciang ama sia kum sawmli a phak ciang in, a suapui Israel tate ve nopna a thinsung pan hong suak hi.
24 Wabona omunye wabo ehlukuluzwa ngumGibhithe, ngakho wayamlamulela, wenanisa ngokubulala umGibhithe lowo.
Israel mi khat a man ngawl in a thuak a mu ciang in, tua pa ngum a, a vawtsia Egypt pa sia phulam in that hi:
25 UMosi wakhumbula ukuthi abantu bakibo babezakunanzelela ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayemsebenzisa ukuthi abakhulule, kodwa kabakunanzelelanga.
Banghangziam cile Pathian in ama khut zang in amate suatak tu hi, ci a suapui te in he tu in ngaisun hi:
26 Ngosuku olulandelayo uMosi wawela phezu kwabako-Israyeli ababili ababesilwa. Wazama ukubalamula ngokuthi, ‘Madoda, liyizinini; kungani lihlukuluzana kangaka na?’
A zingciang in Israel mi ni a kihau te kung ah pai a, lemtua sawm in, note u nau nu hi; banghang in kihau nu ziam? ci hi.
27 Kodwa leyondoda eyayihlukuluza eyinye, yamfuqela eceleni uMosi yathi, ‘Ngubani okwenze umbusi lomahluli phezu kwethu?
Ahihang a innpam pa a vawtsia pa in Moses sawn a, nang akua in kote tung ah thunei le thukhen tu in hong vawt ziam?
28 Ufuna ukungibulala njengomGibhithe ombuleleyo izolo?’
Zei ni Egypt pa na thalup bang in hong that nuam ni ziam? ci hi.
29 UMosi wathi ekuzwa lokho wabalekela eMidiyani, lapho ahlala khona njengesizwe, wazala khona amadodana amabili.
Tua zawkciang hisia pa i kampau hang in Moses tai a Midian ngam ah peamta in om hi, tua mun ah tapa ni nei hi.
30 Sekwedlule iminyaka engamatshumi amane, ingilosi yavela kuMosi iselangabini lesixuku esibhebhayo enkangala eduze kweNtaba iSinayi.
Kum sawm li a bo ciang in, Sinai mual duisung ah Topa vantungmi sia lophung kuang bang in kilang hi.
31 Wathi ekubona lokhu wamangala kakhulu ngalowombono. Wathi uyasondela ukuthi abonisise, wezwa ilizwi likaThixo lisithi:
Tasia Moses in a mu ciang in, a mu thu lamdangsa a: en tu in a neak ciang in, Topa aw ama tung ah theng a,
32 ‘NginguNkulunkulu waboyihlo, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, lo-Isaka loJakhobe.’ UMosi wathuthumela ngokwesaba wehluleka ukukhangela.
Keima sia na pu le pa te i Pathian, Abraham Pathian, Isaac Pathian le Jacob Pathian ka hihi, ci hi. Tua zawkciang in Moses sia ling a, en zong en ngam ngawl hi.
33 INkosi yasisithi kuye, ‘Khupha amanyathela akho, ngoba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.
Tua zawkciang in Topa in ama kung ah, na peangdap sut in: banghangziam cile na dinna mun sia a thiangtho leitang a hihi.
34 Ngempela sengikubonile ukuhlukuluzeka kwabantu bami eGibhithe. Sengikuzwile ukububula kwabo, ngakho sengibuyile phansi lapha ukuzebakhulula. Manje-ke zwana, ngizakubuyisela eGibhithe.’
Keima in ka mu zo hi, Egypt ngam ah ka mite haksatna sia keima in mu zo khi hi, taciang amate tauna ka za zo a, suatak tu in kong tuaksuk hi. Taciang tu in hongpai tan, Egypt ngam ah hong sawl tu khi hi, ci hi.
35 Nguye kanye uMosi lo ababemalile ngamazwi athi, ‘Ngubani okwenze umbusi lomahluli na?’ Wathunyelwa ukuba ngumbusi lomkhululi nguNkulunkulu mathupha, ngengilosi eyabonakala kuye isesixukwini.
Hi Moses sia amate in nial uh a, kua in nangma sia hong uk tu le thukhen tu in hong vawt ziam? ci uh hi. Pathian in Moses sia lophung sung pan ama tung ah a kilang vantungmi i khut tungtawn in ukpa le ngumpa tu in paisak hi.
36 Wabakhokhela baphuma elizweni laseGibhithe, wenza izimanga lemimangaliso eGibhithe lasolwandle olubomvu kanye lasenkangala okweminyaka engamatshumi amane enkangala.
Moses in amate pusua pui a, tua zawkciang in Egypt ngam, san tuipi le senneal ngam sung ah kum sawm li sung, nalamdang le musakna tampi te lak hi.
37 Nguye lo uMosi owatshela abako-Israyeli wathi, ‘UNkulunkulu wenu uzalivusela umphrofethi phakathi kwabafowenu njengami.’
Topa na Pathian in keima bang kamsang khat, na suapui te sung pan ka piangsak tu a; note in a thu na ngai tu uh hi, tabang in Israel tate a sonpa sia Moses a hihi.
38 Wayephakathi kwebandla enkangala, elabokhokho bethu njalo elayo ingilosi eyakhuluma kuye eNtabeni yaseSinayi; njalo wemukela amazwi okuphila ukuthi awedlulisele kithi.
Ama sia senneal ngamsung ah a kikhawm te kung ah ahizong, Sinai mual ah vantungmi taw a ki paupui na ah ahizong, taciang i pu i pa te taw ahizong, omkhawm ngei a: ama sia eite tung ah hongpiak tu a nungta kammal te a sang pa a hihi:
39 Kodwa okhokho bethu bala ukumlalela. Bamala, kwathi ezinhliziyweni zabo babuyela eGibhithe.
I pu i pa te in thu ni ngawl uh a, amate kung pan sawnthal uh hi, taciang amate thinsung pan in Egypt ngam ah heakkik uh hi,
40 Batshela u-Aroni bathi, ‘Yenza onkulunkulu abazasikhokhela. UMosi lo owasikhupha eGibhithe asisakwazi ukuthi usedliwe yini!’
Amate in Aaron tung ah, kote i mai ah a pai tu in pathian te hong vawtsak tan: banghangziam cile Egypt ngam pan hong pusua Moses sia bangsuak, ci ka he bua uh hi, ci uh hi.
41 Yiso lesosikhathi abenza ngaso isithombe esasilesimo sethole. Baletha imihlatshelo kulo, benza umkhosi wokuthakazelela lokho okwenziwa yizandla zabo.
Taciang tua hun sung in amate in khuino vawt uh a, milim tung ah biakpiakna pia uh hi, taciang amate khut taw a vawttawm nate tung ah lungdam in om uh hi.
42 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wabafulathela, wabakhalala ukuba bakhonze ilanga, inyanga lezinkanyezi. Lokhu kuvumelana lalokho okulotshiweyo encwadini yabaphrofethi ukuthi: ‘Wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, langilethela na imihlatshelo leminikelo ngeminyaka engamatshumi amane enkangala?
Tua zawkciang in Pathian in amate nungngat a, van aksi te bia tu in koicip hi; kamsang te laibu sung ah a ki atsa bang in, Maw, no Israel minam te, senneal ngam ah kum sawm li sung a ki thatlum ngamsa te le biakpiakna te nong pia uh ziam?
43 Hatshi, lathwala isikhonzelo sikaMoleki lenkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu uRefani, izithombe elazenzayo ukuthi lizikhonze. Ngakho-ke, ngizalixotshela ekuthunjweni’ ngale kweBhabhiloni.
Note in Molech i biakbuk le na aksi pathian Rephan, na biak tu in na vawttawm uh milim te na keng uh hi: tua ahikom keima in note sia Babylon ngalkhat dong in kong pua tu hi.
44 Okhokho bethu babelalo ithabanikeli lobufakazi enkangala. Lalenziwe njengokuqondiswa kukaMosi nguNkulunkulu elandela isimo ayesibonile.
I pu le pa te in senneal ngam sung ah biakbuk tetti te nei hi, Moses tung son uh a, a mu uh lim bangma in, vawt tu in sawl uh hi.
45 Sebelamukele ithala okhokho bethu bengaphansi kukaJoshuwa beza lalo ekuthumbeni kwabo izizwe. Lahlala elizweni kwaze kwaba yisikhathi sikaDavida,
Tua zawkciang in i pu le pa te in tua biakbuk sia Gentile te i neisa ngamsung ah Joshua taw tumpui uh hi, tua Gentile te sia Pathian in David hun dong i pu le pa te mai pan in hawlkhia siat hi.
46 owathandwa nguNkulunkulu, wacela ukuthi alungisele uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe indawo yokuhlala.
David in Pathian mai ah maipha nga a, Jacob Pathian atu biakbuk sa tu in ngen hi.
47 Kodwa kwaba nguSolomoni owamakhelayo leyondlu.
Ahihang Solomon in Pathian atu in inn sa hi.
48 Lanxa kunjalo, oPhezukonke kahlali ezindlini ezakhiwe ngabantu. Njengoba esitsho umphrofethi ukuthi:
Ahihang a sangbel Pathian sia khut taw a kisa biakinn sung ah om ngawl hi; kamsang i a son na ah,
49 ‘Izulu liyisihlalo sami sobukhosi, lomhlaba uyisenabelo sami. Lizangakhela ndlu bani? kutsho iNkosi. Kambe izaba ngaphi indawo yami yokuphumula na?
Vantung sia ka kumpi tokhum hi a, leitung sia ka peang ngakna hi, bangbang inn kei atu satu nu ziam? a hibale ka tawlngak na mun sia bang ziam?
50 Izinto zonke lezi kazenziwanga yisandla sami na?’
Hi thu te theampo sia keima khut taw ka vawt hi ngawl ziam? ci hi.
51 Lina ziqholo zabantu, abanhliziyo lezindlebe ezingasokanga! Lifuze oyihlo: Lihlezi lijamelene loMoya oNgcwele!
Note ngawng ngu khoh te le thinsung le nakheng vunteap tan ngawl te awng, note in Tha Thiangtho sia na khak tawntung uh hi; na pu le pa te i a vawt uh bang in note in zong na vawt uh hi.
52 Kambe kwake kwabakhona umphrofethi oyihlo abangazange bamhlukuluze na? Baze bababulala lalabo abaphrofetha ngokuza koLungileyo. Khathesi selimnikele lambulala,
Kamsang te sung pan na pu le pa te in a vawtsiat ngawl khat beak a om ziam? Mi thutang pa hongpai natu thu a pualak te sia amate in that uh a; tu in note sia tua mi thutang pa zuak te le a that te na hi uh hi:
53 lina eseliwemukele umthetho oweza ngezingilosi kodwa kaliwulandelanga.”
Vantungmi te i hu na taw thukham na sang uh a, na zui bua uh hi, ci hi.
54 Amalunga eSanihedrini esekuzwile lokhu azonda, afuthelana, amgedlela amazinyo.
Amate in hi thu te a zak uh ciang in, nasiatak in thin-uk mama uh a, a ha te ngoai uh hi.
55 Kodwa uStefane egcwele uMoya oNgcwele wakhangela ezulwini wabona inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu loJesu emi esandleni sokunene sikaNkulunkulu.
Ahihang Stephen sia Tha Thiangtho taw kidim in, vantung lam tangtak in ento hi, taciang Pathian vangletna le Jesus sia Pathian ziatsang ah a ding mu hi.
56 Wathi, “Khangelani, ngibona izulu livuliwe leNdodana yoMuntu imi esandleni sokunene sikaNkulunkulu.”
En vun, van ki hong a, Pathian ziatsang ah mihing Tapa a ding ka mu hi, ci hi.
57 Besizwa lokhu bagcika indlebe zabo, baklabalala, bamdumela
Tua zawkciang in aw ngingtak in au uh a, a bil uh hum in, thinkhat lungkhat in Stephen sang ah hong tai uh hi,
58 bamhudulela phandle kwedolobho, bamkhanda ngamatshe. Ofakazi babeka izigqoko zabo phambi kwejaha elalithiwa nguSawuli.
Taciang khuapua ah nawt uh a, suangtum taw deang uh hi: taciang tetti te in a nik le puan te sia tangvalpa peang ah koi uh hi, tua tangvalpa min sia Saul a hihi.
59 Kwathi belokhu bemkhanda uStefane wakhuleka wathi, “Nkosi Jesu, yamukela umoya wami.”
Amate in Stephen sia suangtum taw deang uh hi, taciang Stephen in, Pathian sam a, Topa Jesus awng, ka tha hong sang tan, ci hi.
60 Wathi vutshalala ngamadolo phansi wamemeza wathi, “Nkosi, ungababekeli mlandu ngalesisono.” Kuthe esetsho lokho, walala.
Taciang khupdin a, Topa awng, hi mawna sia amate tung ah koi heak in, ci in a ngingtak in au hi, tabang a au zawkciang in ama mutthip hi.
