Acts 7
1 Nígbà náà ni olórí àlùfáà wí pé, “Òtítọ́ ha ni àwọn ẹ̀sùn tí wọ́ fi kàn ọ́ bí?”
Then sayd the chiefe Priest, Are these things so?
2 Ní ìdáhùn sí èyí ó wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin arákùnrin àti ẹ̀yin baba, ẹ fetísílẹ̀ sí mi! Ọlọ́run ògo fi ara hàn fún Abrahamu baba wa, nígbà tí ó wà ni Mesopotamia, kí ó to ṣe àtìpó ni Harani.
And he sayd, Ye men, brethren and Fathers, hearken. That God of glory appeared vnto our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
3 Ọlọ́run wí fún un pé, ‘Jáde kúrò ní orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ àti kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, lọ sí ilẹ̀ kan tí èmi yóò fihàn ọ́.’
And said vnto him, Come out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and come into the land, which I shall shewe thee.
4 “Nígbà náà ni ó jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Kaldea, ó sì ṣe àtìpó ni Harani. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí baba rẹ̀ sì kú, Ọlọ́run mú un sípò padà wá sí ilẹ̀ yìí, níbi tí ẹ̀yin ń gbé báyìí.
Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran. And after that his father was dead, God brought him from thence into this land, wherein ye now dwell,
5 Kò sí fún un ni ìní kan, ànító bi ìwọ̀n ààyè ẹsẹ̀ kan. Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run ṣe ìlérí fún pé, òun yóò fi ilẹ̀ ìní náà fún un àti fún àwọn irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, nígbà tí kò tí ì ní ọmọ.
And hee gaue him none inheritance in it, no, not the bredth of a foote: yet he promised that he would giue it to him for a possession, and to his seede after him, when as yet hee had no childe.
6 Ọlọ́run sì sọ báyìí pé, ‘Irú-ọmọ rẹ yóò ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì; wọn ó sì sọ wọn di ẹrú, wọn ó sì pọ́n wọn lójú fún irinwó ọdún.
But God spake thus, that his seede should be a soiourner in a strange land: and that they should keepe it in bondage, and entreate it euill foure hundreth yeeres.
7 Ọlọ́run wí pé, Orílẹ̀-èdè náà tí wọn yóò máa sìn, ni èmi ó dá lẹ́jọ́; lẹ́yìn náà ni wọn ó sì jáde kúrò, wọn ó sì wá sìn mí níhìn-ín yìí.’
But the nation to whome they shall be in bondage, will I iudge, sayth God: and after that, they shall come forth and serue me in this place.
8 Ó sì fún Abrahamu ni májẹ̀mú ìkọlà. Abrahamu bí Isaaki, ó kọ ọ́ ní ilà ni ọjọ́ kẹjọ tí ó bí i. Isaaki sí bí Jakọbu, Jakọbu sì bí àwọn baba ńlá méjìlá.
Hee gaue him also the couenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begate Isaac, and circumcised him the eight day: and Isaac begate Iacob, and Iacob the twelue Patriarkes.
9 “Àwọn baba ńlá sí ṣe ìlara Josẹfu, wọ́n sì tà á sí Ejibiti; ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀,
And the Patriarkes moued with enuie, solde Ioseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
10 ó sì yọ ọ́ kúrò nínú ìpọ́njú rẹ̀ gbogbo. Ó sì fún Josẹfu ní ọgbọ́n, ó sì mú kí ó rí ojúrere Farao ọba Ejibiti; òun sì fi jẹ baálẹ̀ Ejibiti àti gbogbo ilé rẹ̀.
And deliuered him out of all his afflictions, and gaue him fauour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao King of Egypt, who made him gouernour ouer Egypt, and ouer his whole house.
11 “Ìyàn kan sì mú ni gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti ni Kenaani, àti ìpọ́njú ńlá, àwọn baba wa kò sì rí oúnjẹ.
Then came there a famine ouer all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction, that our fathers found no sustenance.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Jakọbu gbọ́ pé alikama ń bẹ ni Ejibiti, ó rán àwọn baba wa lọ lẹ́ẹ̀kínní.
But when Iacob heard that there was corne in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
13 Nígbà kejì Josẹfu fi ara rẹ̀ hàn fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, a sì tún fi wọ́n hàn fún Farao.
And at the second time, Ioseph was knowen of his brethren, and Iosephs kindred was made knowen vnto Pharao.
14 Lẹ́yìn èyí, Josẹfu ránṣẹ́ pe Jakọbu baba rẹ̀, àti àwọn ìbátan rẹ̀ wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ, gbogbo wọ́n sì tó àrùndínlọ́gọ́rin ọkàn.
Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kindred, euen threescore and fifteene soules.
15 Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti, ní ibi tí òun àti àwọn baba wa kú sí.
So Iacob went downe into Egypt, and he dyed, and our fathers,
16 A sì gbé òkú wọn padà wá sí Ṣekemu, a sì tẹ́ wọn sínú ibojì ti Abrahamu rà ni ọwọ́ àwọn ọmọ Amori ní Ṣekemu ní iye owó wúrà kan.
And were remoued into Sychem, and were put in the sepulchre, that Abraham had bought for money of the sonnes of Emor, sonne of Sychem.
17 “Nígbà tí àkókò tí Ọlọ́run yóò mú ìlérí tí ó ṣe fún Abrahamu ṣẹ kù sí dẹ̀dẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn wa ń gbèrú si gidigidi ní iye ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
But when the time of the promise drewe neere, which God had sworne to Abraham, the people grewe and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Ṣùgbọ́n ọba tuntun mìíràn tí kò mọ Josẹfu jẹ ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
Till another King arose, which knewe not Ioseph.
19 Òun náà ni ó ṣe àrékérekè sí àwọn ìbátan wa. Wọn sì hùwà búburú sí àwọn baba wa, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí wọ́n fi já àwọn ọmọ ọwọ́ wọn kúrò lọ́wọ́ wọn nítorí kí wọn má ṣe yè.
The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and euill entreated our fathers, and made them to cast out their yong children, that they should not remaine aliue.
20 “Ní àkókò náà ni a bí Mose ọmọ tí ó se iyebíye, tí wọn sí bọ́ lóṣù mẹ́ta ni ilé baba rẹ̀.
The same time was Moses borne, and was acceptable vnto God, which was nourished vp in his fathers house three moneths.
21 Nígbà tí wọn sí gbe é sọnù, ọmọbìnrin Farao gbé e, ó sì tọ ọ́ dàgbà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ ara rẹ̀.
And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter tooke him vp, and nourished him for her owne sonne.
22 A sì kọ́ Mose ni gbogbo ọgbọ́n ara Ejibiti, ó sì pọ̀ ni ọ̀rọ̀ àti ní ìṣe.
And Moses was learned in all the wisdome of the Egyptians, and was mightie in wordes and in deedes.
23 “Nígbà tí Mose di ọmọ ogójì ọdún, ó sọ sí i lọ́kàn láti lọ bẹ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ará rẹ̀ wò.
Nowe when he was full fourtie yeere olde, it came into his heart to visite his brethren, the children of Israel.
24 Nígbà tí ó sì rí ọ̀kan nínú wọ́n tí ará Ejibiti kan ń jẹ́ ní ìyà, ó gbèjà rẹ̀, ó gbẹ̀san ẹni tí wọ́n jẹ ní ìyà nípa lílu ará Ejibiti náà pa.
And whe he saw one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and auenged his quarell that had the harme done to him, and smote the Egyptian.
25 Mose rò bí àwọn ará òun mọ̀ pé Ọlọ́run yóò ti ọwọ́ òun gbà wọn; ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mọ̀.
For hee supposed his brethren would haue vnderstand, that God by his hande should giue them deliuerance: but they vnderstoode it not.
26 Ní ọjọ́ kejì Mose yọ sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli méjì bí wọ́n ti ń jà. Òun si fẹ́ parí ìjà fún wọn. Ó wí pé, ‘Ènìyàn mi, ará ni ẹ̀yin; èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń ṣe ohun tí kò tọ́ sí ara yín?’
And the next day, he shewed himselfe vnto them as they stroue, and woulde haue set them at one againe, saying, Syrs, ye are brethren: why doe ye wrong one to another?
27 “Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí ó fínràn sí ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ ti Mose sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ kan, ó wí pé, ‘Ta ni ó fi ọ́ jẹ olórí àti onídàájọ́ lórí wa?
But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a prince, and a iudge ouer vs?
28 Ṣé ìwọ fẹ́ pa mí bí o ti pa ará Ejibiti lánàá?’
Wilt thou kill mee, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Mose sì sá nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, ó sì wa ṣe àtìpó ni ilẹ̀ Midiani, níbi tí ó gbé bí ọmọ méjì.
Then fled Moses at that saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begate two sonnes.
30 “Nígbà tí ogójì ọdún sì pé, angẹli Olúwa fi ara han Mose ní ijù, ní òkè Sinai, nínú ọ̀wọ́-iná nínú igbó.
And when fourtie yeres were expired, there appeared to him in the wildernes of mout Sina, an Angel of the Lord in a flame of fire, in a bush.
31 Nígbà tí Mose sì rí i, ẹnu yà á sí ìran náà; nígbà tí ó sì súnmọ́ ọn láti wò ó fín, ohùn Olúwa kọ sí i,
And when Moses sawe it, hee wondred at the sight: and as he drew neere to consider it, the voyce of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
32 wí pé ‘Èmi ni Ọlọ́run àwọn baba rẹ, Ọlọ́run Abrahamu, Ọlọ́run Isaaki, àti Ọlọ́run Jakọbu,’ Mose sì wárìrì pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù, kò sì dáṣà láti wò ó mọ́.
I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold it.
33 “Olúwa sì wí fún un pé, ‘Bọ́ bàtà rẹ kúrò ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ, nítorí ibi tí ìwọ dúró sí i nì ilẹ̀ mímọ́ ni.
Then the Lord said to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feete: for the place where thou standest, is holy ground.
34 Ní rí rí, mo ti rí ìpọ́njú àwọn ènìyàn mi tí ń bẹ ni Ejibiti, mo sì ti gbọ́ ìkérora wọn, mo sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá láti gbà wọ́n. Wá nísinsin yìí, Èmi ó sì rán ọ lọ sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.’
I haue seene, I haue seene the affliction of my people, which is in Egypt, and I haue heard their groning, and am come downe to deliuer them: and nowe come, and I will sende thee into Egypt.
35 “Mose náà yìí tí wọ́n kọ̀, wí pé, ‘Ta ni ó fi jẹ olórí àti onídàájọ́?’ Òun náà ni Ọlọ́run rán lọ láti ọwọ́ angẹli, tí ó farahàn án ní pápá, láti ṣe olórí àti olùdáǹdè.
This Moses whome they forsooke, saying, Who made thee a prince and a iudge? the same God sent for a prince, and a deliuerer by the hand of the Angel, which appeared to him in the bush.
36 Òun ni ó mú wọn jáde, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ṣe iṣẹ́ ìyanu àti iṣẹ́ àmì ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, àti ni Òkun pupa, àti ni aginjù ní ogójì ọdún.
Hee brought them out, doing wonders, and miracles in the land of Egypt, and in the red sea, and in the wildernes fourtie yeeres.
37 “Èyí ni Mose náà ti ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pé, ‘Ọlọ́run yóò gbé wòlíì kan bí èmi dìde nínú àwọn ènìyàn yín.’
This is that Moses, which saide vnto the children of Israel, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise vp vnto you, euen of your brethren, like vnto me: him shall ye heare.
38 Èyí náà ni ẹni tí ó wà nínú ìjọ ní ijù pẹ̀lú angẹli náà tí ó bá a sọ̀rọ̀ ní orí òkè Sinai, àti pẹ̀lú àwọn baba wa; ẹni ti ó gba ọ̀rọ̀ ìyè láti fi fún wa.
This is he that was in the Congregation, in the wildernes with the Angell, which spake to him in mount Sina, and with our fathers, who receiued the liuely oracles to giue vnto vs.
39 “Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn baba wa kò fẹ́ gbọ́ tirẹ̀. Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀, wọ́n kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀, àti pé nínú ọkàn wọn, wọn fẹ́ yípadà lọ sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
To whom our fathers would not obey, but refused, and in their hearts turned backe againe into Egypt:
40 Wọ́n wí fún Aaroni pé, ‘Dá òrìṣà fún wa tí yóò máa tọ́nà ṣáájú wa; nítorí bí ó ṣe ti Mose yìí tí ó mú wa jáde wá láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, a kò mọ̀ ohun tí ó ṣe é.’
Saying vnto Aaron, Make vs gods that may goe before vs: for we knowe not what is become of this Moses that brought vs out of the land of Egypt.
41 Wọ́n sì yá ère ẹgbọrọ màlúù ni ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí. Wọ́n sì rú ẹbọ sí ère náà, wọ́n sì ń yọ̀ nínú ohun tí wọ́n fi ọwọ́ ara wọn ṣe.
And they made a calfe in those dayes, and offered sacrifice vnto the idole, and reioyced in the workes of their owne handes.
42 Ọlọ́run sì padà, ó fi wọn sílẹ̀ láti máa sin ogun ọ̀run: òòrùn, òṣùpá àti ìràwọ̀. Èyí wà ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú bí a ti kọ ọ́ nínú ìwé àwọn wòlíì pé: “‘Ẹ̀yin ha mú ẹran tí a pa àti ẹbọ wa fún mi ní ogójì ọdún ní ijù bí, ìwọ ilé Israẹli?
Then God turned himselfe away, and gaue them vp to serue the host of heauen, as it is written in the booke of the Prophets, O house of Israel, haue ye offred to me slaine beasts and sacrifices by the space of fourtie yeres in the wildernes?
43 Ẹ̀yin sì tẹ́wọ́gbà àgọ́ Moleki, àti ìràwọ̀ Refani òrìṣà yín, àwòrán tí ẹ̀yin ṣe láti máa bọ wọ́n. Nítorí náà èmi yóò kó yín lọ sí ìgbèkùn rékọjá Babeli.’
And ye tooke vp the tabernacle of Moloch, and the starre of your god Remphan, figures, which ye made to worship them: therefore I will carie you away beyond Babylon.
44 “Àwọn baba wa ní àgọ́ ẹ̀rí pẹ̀lú wọn ní ijù. Èyí tí a ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run tí ó ba Mose sọ̀rọ̀ pé kí ó ṣe é, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àpẹẹrẹ tí ó ti rí.
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witnes, in the wildernes, as hee had appointed, speaking vnto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seene.
45 Ti àwọn baba wa tí ó tẹ̀lé wọn sí mú bá Joṣua wá sí ilẹ̀ ìní àwọn aláìkọlà, tí Ọlọ́run lè jáde kúrò níwájú àwọn baba wa, títí dí àkókò Dafidi.
Which tabernacle also our fathers receiued, and brought in with Iesus into the possession of the Gentiles, which God draue out before our fathers, vnto the dayes of Dauid:
46 Ẹni tí ó rí ojúrere níwájú Ọlọ́run, tí ó sì tọrọ láti rí ibùgbé fún Ọlọ́run Jakọbu.
Who found fauour before God, and desired that hee might finde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
47 Ṣùgbọ́n Solomoni ni ó kọ́ ilé fún un.
But Salomon built him an house.
48 “Ṣùgbọ́n Ọ̀gá-ògo kì í gbé ilé ti a fi ọwọ́ kọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí wòlíì ti wí pé:
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with handes, as saith the Prophet,
49 “‘Ọ̀run ni ìtẹ́ mi, ayé ni àpótí ìtìsẹ̀ mi. Irú ilé kín ní ẹ̀yin yóò kọ́ fún mi? ni Olúwa wí. Tàbí níbo ni yóò jẹ́ ibi ìsinmi mi?
Heauen is my throne, and earth is my footestoole: what house wil ye build for me, saith the Lord? or what place is it that I should rest in?
50 Ọwọ́ mi kò ha ṣe gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí.’
Hath not mine hand made all these things?
51 “Ẹ̀yin ọlọ́rùn líle àti aláìkọlà àyà àti etí! Bí àwọn baba yín gẹ́lẹ́ ni ẹ̀yin rí. Nígbà gbogbo ni ẹ̀yin máa ń dènà Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́!
Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.

Which of the Prophets haue not your fathers persecuted? and they haue slaine them, which shewed before of the comming of that Iust, of whome ye are now the betrayers and murtherers,
53 Ẹ̀yin tí ó gba òfin, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn angẹli ti fi fún ni, tí ẹ kò sì pa á mọ́.”
Which haue receiued the Lawe by the ordinance of Angels, and haue not kept it.
54 Nígbà tí wọn sì gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí ọkàn wọn gbọgbẹ́ dé inú, wọn sì payínkeke sí i.
But when they heard these thinges, their heartes brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
55 Ṣùgbọ́n Stefanu, ẹni tí ó kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, ó tẹjúmọ́ ọ̀run, ó sì rí ògo Ọlọ́run, àti Jesu dúró ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Ọlọ́run.
But he being full of the holy Ghost, looked stedfastly into heauen, and sawe the glory of God, and Iesus standing at the right hand of God,
56 Ó sì wí pé, “Wò ó, mo rí ọ̀run ṣí sílẹ̀, Ọmọ Ènìyàn sì dúró ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Ọlọ́run.”
And said, Beholde, I see the heauens open, and the Sonne of man standing at the right hand of God.
57 Nígbà náà ni wọn kígbe ní ohùn rara, wọn sí di etí wọ́n, gbogbo wọn sì sáré sí i, wọ́n sì rọ́ lù ú,
Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ranne vpon him violently all at once,

And cast him out of the citie, and stoned him: and the witnesses layd downe their clothes at a yong mans feete, named Saul.
59 Bí wọ́n ti ń sọ Stefanu ní òkúta, ó sì ké pe Olúwa wí pé, “Jesu Olúwa, gba ẹ̀mí mi.”
And they stoned Steuen, who called on God, and said, Lord Iesus, receiue my spirit.

And he kneeled downe, and cried with a loude voyce, Lord, laye not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he slept.
