< Acts 7 >

1 And the high priest said, Are these things so?
Basa ma malangga monaeꞌ agama Yahudi natane Stefanus nae, “Ara kalaak ho naa, tebꞌe, do hokoꞌ?”
2 And he said, Men! Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran.
Stefanus nataa nae, “Amaꞌ no toronoo nggare! Rena au dei. Dalahulu na, hita baꞌi na Abraham nda feꞌe lao hela kambo na sa, te Lamatualain mana seliꞌ, natudꞌu ao na neu e. Ana parenda e nae, ‘Lao hela nusa ma ia, ma bobꞌonggi mara. Lao leon, misiꞌ nusaꞌ esa dei fo au utudꞌu neu nggo!’ Naa de baꞌi Abraham lao mia rae Mesopotamia, fo lali nisiꞌ kota Haran.
3 And he said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and from thy kinfolk, and come into a land that I will show thee.
4 Then after coming out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran. And from there, after his father died, God resettled him in this land in which ye now dwell.
No taꞌo naa, ana lao hela atahori Kasdim ra nusa na, de lali nisiꞌ kota Haran. Ama bꞌonggi na mate ma, Lamatualain no e nisiꞌ nusaꞌ Kanaꞌan. Nusaꞌ Kanaꞌan ia, rae fo amaꞌ ra ro toronooꞌ ra leoꞌ ia.
5 And he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep. And he promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, although there was no child by him.
Leleꞌ naa Lamatualain nda banggi rae hangga esa saꞌ boe fo dadꞌi baꞌi Abraham pusaka na sa. Te Lamatualain helu nae dei fo fee rae ia neu baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosi nara fo dadꞌi rae pusaka. Te leleꞌ naa baꞌi Abraham nda feꞌe ma anaꞌ sa.
6 And God spoke thus: His seed would be alien in a foreign land, and they would enslave and mistreat them four hundred years.
Te Lamatualain olaꞌ no e nae, ‘Tititi-nonosi mara dei fo leo sia atahori feaꞌ ra nusa na. Boe ma atahori naa ra tuni-ndeni se, losa tao se dadꞌi ata nara ma tao se nda maloleꞌ sa losa too natun haa.
7 And I will judge the nation to whomever they will be in bondage, God said, and after these things they will come forth and serve me in this place.
Dei fo au huku-doki hatahori mana tao tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi ate. Boe ma tititi-nonosi mara lao hela nusaꞌ naa, ma baliꞌ risiꞌ rae Kanaꞌan ia fo hule-oꞌe roꞌe makasi neu Au.’
8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. And Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
Lamatualain olaꞌ basa ma, Ana tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ no sunat fo dadꞌi bukti oi Abraham se dadꞌi Lamatualain atahori Na ena. Naa de, leleꞌ Abraham ana na Isak, feꞌe fai falu, ana sunat e. Basa de Isak sunat ana na Yakob. Yakob o sunat ana tou ka sanahulu rua nara, leleꞌ ara feꞌe fai beꞌe faluꞌ. Basa se ia ra, hita atahori Yahudi ra bei-baꞌi nara.
9 And the patriarchs, being envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. And God was with him,
Lao esa ma, hita bei-baꞌi nara rala nara mera mbali odi nara Yusuf. De ara seo e dadꞌi ate sia rae Masir. Te Lamatualain nda lao hela e sa.
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he appointed him governor over Egypt and his entire house.
Ana mboꞌi e mia basa sususaꞌ ra, ma fee ne mahineꞌ fo nahine dalaꞌ naeꞌ. Huu naa, mane Masir a sue e, de soꞌu e dadꞌi lima onan sia rae Masir. Ana o toꞌu koasa sia maneꞌ a ume panggat na.
11 Now a famine came on all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no sustenance.
Basa naa ma fai ndoes nema laꞌe rae Masir ma rae Kanaꞌan. Fai ndoes, naseliꞌ tebꞌe, de atahori hetar susasona sia bee-bꞌee. Naa de hita bei-baꞌi nara nda hambu raa saa saꞌ boe.
12 But when Jacob heard of grain being in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.
Te baꞌi Yakob rena oi nanaat sia rae Masir. Boe ma ana denu ana nara, fo hita bei-bai nara, reu hasa nanaat sia naa.
13 And during the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's race became manifest to Pharaoh.
Ara hasa basa ma, ara baliꞌ. Ara raa hendi basa nanaat ra ma, Yakob denu se reu hasa seluꞌ sia Masir. Dei de Yusuf feꞌe nafadꞌe se nae, eni sira odꞌi bonggi na. Ma fee mane Masir a nahine se.
14 And Joseph having sent forth, he summoned Jacob his father. And all his kinfolk, in souls, were seventy-five.
Basa naa ma, Yusuf noꞌe ama na no odꞌi-aꞌa nara lali Masir reu. Basa se atahori hitu nulu lima.
15 And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he perished, he and our fathers.
De Yakob se lali Masir reu. Basa de, hita bei-baꞌi nara mate mia naa.
16 And they were carried into Shechem, and laid in the sepulcher that Abraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of Hamor of Shechem.
Dꞌoo na seli dei de, ara rendi baliꞌ bei-baꞌiꞌ ra rui nara risiꞌ kambo Sikem. Ara raꞌoi ruiꞌ naa ra sia mamana rates fo maꞌahulu na baꞌi Abraham hasa mia Hemor tititi-nonosi nara.”
17 But as the time of the promise approached that God swore to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Stefanus olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Basa ia ra dadꞌi, huu Lamatualain helu basa nae, dei fo Eni fee mamanaꞌ naa neu Abraham dadꞌi rae pusaka. Deka fai fo Lamatualain natetuꞌ helu-fuli Na naa, hita atahori Yahudi ra boe ramaheta sia rae Masir ena.
18 until another king arose who had not known Joseph.
Leleꞌ naa, mane feuꞌ sa toꞌu parendaꞌ sia Masir. Te nda nahine Yusuf sa.
19 This man, who cunningly victimized our race, mistreated our fathers to make their infants be placed outside in order not to keep alive.
Maneꞌ naa tabꞌu-roroo hita atahori nara. Ma ana tuni-ndeni hita bei-baꞌi nara. Ana o parenda se no deres fo nggari hendi ana mana bꞌonggi feu nara, fo ara mate.
20 During which time Moses was born (and he was well-formed by God) who was reared three months in his father's house.
Leleꞌ naa, baꞌi Musa ina na bonggi e. Aꞌo na meulau na seli. Ama-ina na nda tungga maneꞌ a parenda na sa. Ara raꞌaboi raꞌafuniꞌ e sia ume losa fula telu.
21 And when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter took him away, and reared him for a son to herself.
Basa ma ara nda afiꞌ raꞌafuniꞌ rala e sia ume sa ena, de mboꞌi hendiꞌ e. Te mane Masir ana feto na nita e, de naꞌabꞌoi e onaꞌ ana bonggi na.
22 And Moses was reared in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.
Naa de atahori Masir ra ranori sira mahine nara basa se neu Musa. De ana dadꞌi atahori manaseliꞌ, mahineꞌ ma masiꞌet boe.
23 But when a forty year time span was fulfilled by him, it came into his heart to go help his brothers, the sons of Israel.
Musa too haa nulu boe ma, ana nae neu nahine atahori Israꞌel nara.
24 And after seeing a certain man suffering wrong, he defended him, and did vengeance for the man being oppressed, having smitten the Egyptian.
Ana neu ma nita atahori Masir esa momoko atahori Israꞌel sa. Ana neu tulun eni atahori na, ma nisa atahori Masir a.
25 And he presumed his brothers understood that, by his hand, God was giving them salvation, but they did not understand.
Ana duꞌa nae neꞌo atahori nara bubꞌuluꞌ Lamatualain denu eni, fo neu tulu-fali se mia sususaꞌ. Te ara nda feꞌe bubꞌuluꞌ sa.
26 And on the next day he was seen by them as they fought, and he was reconciling them for peace, having said, Men, ye are brothers. Why is it that ye wrong each other?
Mbila ma, Musa neu seꞌu seluꞌ atahori nara. Ana nita atahori nara rua rafetu. De ana sobꞌa nadꞌameꞌ ruꞌa se nae, “Wee! Hei ruꞌa nggi, odꞌi-aꞌa. Te taꞌo bee de mifetu taꞌo ia?”
27 But the man doing wrong to his neighbor thrust him away, having said, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Te atahori mana momoko nonoo na timba baꞌi Musa nisiꞌ suuꞌ neu, de nae, ‘Seka soꞌu nggo dadꞌi hai malangga ma? Ma seka soꞌu nggo dadꞌi hai mana maꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat ma?
28 Do thou not want to kill me, as thou killed the Egyptian yesterday?
Mbei ma ho mae misa au, onaꞌ ho misa atahori Masir a afis a, do?’
29 And Moses fled at this word, and became an alien in the land of Midian, where he begot two sons.
Musa rena taꞌo naa, ma ana fela lao hela Masir. Ana neu leo sia atahori Median ra nusa na. Basa ma, ana sao sia naa, de bonggi ana touꞌ rua.
30 And forty years having been fulfilled, an agent of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai in a flame of fire of a bush.
Too haa nulu boe ma, Musa nisiꞌ mamana madꞌaꞌ esa deka no leteꞌ sa, naran lete Sinai. Sia naa Lamatualain ate Na esa mia sorga neu nandaa no e mia ai sia hau anaꞌ sa rala. Hau a nenelalanggeꞌ, te nda kadꞌe sa.
31 And when Moses looked, he wondered at the sight. And as he approached to examine, a voice of the Lord came to him,
Musa nita ma, ana ndii-ndiiꞌ a. Ana neu deka fo nae nahine saa sia naa. Aiboiꞌ ma, ana rena Lamatualain olaꞌ mia ai rala nae,
32 I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. But Moses, who developed trembling, dared not examine.
‘Au ia, bei-baꞌi mara Lamatualain na. Baꞌim Abraham, Isak, ma Yakob beꞌutee neu Au.’ Musa rena ma, ana namatau de ao na nggeꞌe-nggeꞌe, ma nda nambarani botiꞌ mata na fo mete hau mana lalanggeꞌ naa sa.
33 And the Lord said to him, Put off the shoes from thy feet, for the place on which thou stand is holy ground.
Boe ma Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, ‘We Musa! Ho ririi sia rae meumareꞌ. De olu hendi laopei ma!
34 Having looked, I saw the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I heard their groaning, and I came down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
Seꞌu te mae Au liliiꞌ Au atahori Israꞌel ngga sia Masir a. Hokoꞌ! Au feꞌe usunedꞌa se. Au bubꞌuluꞌ doidꞌoso nara ma rena hara hule-oꞌe nara. De Au ae mboꞌi se. Uma dei! Au ae denu baliꞌ nggo Masir muu.’
35 This Moses whom they refused, having said, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge? This man God sent, a ruler and a liberator by the hand of the agent who appeared to him in the bush.
No taꞌo naa, Lamatualain natudꞌu ao Na mia ai rala ma parenda Musa fo baliꞌ Masir neu. Lamatualain dudꞌu e neu mboꞌi atahori Israꞌel mia doidꞌoso nara. Musa ia, fo maꞌahulu na atahori ra ratane rae, ‘Seka soꞌu nggo dadꞌi hai malangga ma?’ Ia naa Lamatualain mana soꞌu e!
36 This man brought them forth after performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
Basa naa boe ma, Musa baliꞌ Masir neu. Ana tao mana dadꞌiꞌ ra seli sia naa. Basa ma, ana no atahori Israꞌel ra lao hela Masir. Ara lao tungga Tasi Mbilas, ma laoꞌ ndule mamana rouꞌ ra losa too haa nulu.
37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you, from your brothers, like me.
Musa nafadꞌe atahori Israꞌel ra rae, ‘Dei fo Lamatualain soꞌu atahori sa sia hei taladꞌa ma, fo dadꞌi mana ola-ola Na, onaꞌ Ana soꞌu au ia.
38 This is he who became in the congregation in the wilderness with the agent who spoke to him on the mount Sinai, and of our fathers who received living oracles to give to us.
Musa naꞌabꞌue no hita atahori Israꞌel nara sia mamana rouꞌ ra. Ana dadꞌi leleteꞌ fee hita bei-baꞌi nara ro Lamatualain ate Na mia sorga. Ate naa naꞌondaꞌ Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌola Na neu Musa sia lete Sinai. Dedꞌea-oꞌolaꞌ naa, mana natudꞌu hita dala masodꞌaꞌ ndos.
39 To whom our fathers did not want to become obedient, but they thrust away, and turned back in their heart to Egypt,
Mae taꞌo naa o, hita bei-baꞌi nara nda nau rena Musa sa. Ara nda simbo e sa, de rae baliꞌ Masir reu.
40 after saying to Aaron, Make gods for us who will lead us. For this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.
Basa naa ma, ara reu kokoe Harun rae, ‘Amaꞌ odꞌi na Musa no hai lao hela rae Masir. Te ia naa, hai nda bubꞌuluꞌ ana sia bee saꞌ boe. Dadꞌi hai moꞌe fo amaꞌ tao fee hai sosonggoꞌ, fo ana mana nalalao hai.’
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered up sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
De ara tao sosonggoꞌ, mata na onaꞌ sapi anaꞌ. Ara tunu-hotu banda ma feta-dote fee sosonggoꞌ a. Ara maꞌahee ro saa fo sira tao ao nara.
42 But God turned, and gave them over to serve the host of heaven, just as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Lamatualain nita taꞌo naa ma nasadꞌea se. De ara songgo sudꞌi a saa sia lalai onaꞌ relo, fulan, ma nduuꞌ. Onaꞌ o Lamatualain hela se taꞌo a naa ena. Naa ndaa no saa fo Lamatualain mana ola-ola nara suraꞌ mia dalahulu na rae, ‘We! Atahori Israꞌel re! To haa nulu hei laoꞌ ndule mamana rouꞌ ra, ma tunu-hotu banda fo beꞌutee neu Au, do, neu se?
43 And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, the images that ye made to worship them. And I will deport you beyond Babylon.
Hei nda koa-kio Au sa! Tungga fai hei songgo neuꞌ a sosonggo mara. Hei hiiꞌ a masoꞌ kalua nitu Molok ume sosonggo na. Hei o hii songgo nduuꞌ esa nitu na, naran Refan. Dadꞌi hei hiiꞌ a songgo neu saa fo hei tao ao mara! Dei fo Au nggari nggi miꞌidꞌodꞌooꞌ seli Babel mi’.
44 The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, just as he arranged (he who spoke to Moses), to make it according to the pattern that he had seen.
Stefanus olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Lamatualain natudꞌu baꞌi Musa mamana Hule-Oꞌeꞌ esa rupa na. De Musa se rafefela Lalaat Hule-Oꞌeꞌ esa mia banda rouꞌ no temeꞌ tungga rupaꞌ naa. Basa naa ma, atahori Israꞌel ra reu hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain sia naa. Mete ma ara lali mamanaꞌ, naa ara ofe Lalaat Hule-Oꞌeꞌ a, ara paꞌa e, de rendi e nisi ꞌ mamana feuꞌ. Losa naa, ara rafefela seluꞌ Lalaat a.
45 Which also our fathers, having received in succession, brought in with Joshua into the possession of the nations whom God drove out from the presence of our fathers, until the days of David
Dꞌodꞌoo ma, leleꞌ Yosua se ratati ro atahori feaꞌ sia nusa Kanaꞌan ma, Lamatualain oi hendi atahori naa ra. Basa de, Lamatualain babꞌanggi nusaꞌ naa neu hita bei-baꞌi nara. Leleꞌ ara rambas rala nusaꞌ naa, ara o rendi Lalaa Hule-Oꞌe a neu boe. Lalaat a nambariiꞌ sia naa losa mane Daud toꞌu parendaꞌ.
46 who found favor in the sight of God. And he asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
Mane Daud ia, hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain onaꞌ hita baꞌi Yakob na no ume isi nara. Daud tao namahoꞌo Lamatualain rala Na, de Lamatualain pala banggi fee ne papala-babꞌanggiꞌ. Daud o noꞌe Lamatualain fo eni mana nafefela Ume Hule-Oꞌe feuꞌ.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Te ana na Soleman mana nafefela Ume Hule-Oꞌe Huuꞌ a.
48 However the Most High does not dwell in man-made temples, just as the prophet says,
Hita bubꞌuluꞌ tae, Lamatualain leo sia mamanaꞌ nanarun seli. Ana nda leo sia ume fo atahori taoꞌ sa. Huu maꞌahulu na, mana ola-ola Na esa suraꞌ hela rae,
49 The heaven is to me a throne, and the earth a footstool of my feet. What house will ye build for me? says the Lord. Or what is the place of my rest?
‘Lalai a, Au kadera parenda ngga. Raefafoꞌ a, Au ei tatabu ngga. Taꞌo bee de hei mae mifefela ume esa nandaa Au leo sia naa? Nda bisa sa.
50 Did not my hand make all these things?
Te lalai no raefafoꞌ isi na, Au mana uꞌudꞌadꞌadꞌiꞌ!’”
51 Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers, ye also.
Stefanus olaꞌ seluꞌ, ma bua se nae, “Hei langga fatu mara seli! Onaꞌ atahori nda mana rahine Lamatualain sa, ma nda nau rena E sa. Hei akaꞌ labꞌan E, onaꞌ bei-baꞌiꞌ mara mana rasadꞌea E. Ia naa hei feꞌe mae labꞌan Dula-dale Meumare Na, do?
52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold about the coming of the Righteous man, of whom ye now have become betrayers and murderers,
Hei bei-baꞌi mara raꞌasususaꞌ Lamatualain mana ola-ola Nara. Mifadꞌe sobꞌa: mana ola-olaꞌ bee fo ara nda raꞌasususaꞌ e sa? Nda hambu sa, to? Maꞌahulu na mana ola-olaꞌ Nara rafadꞌe memaꞌ oi, Lamatualain nae haitua Atahori Meumare Na. Te hei bei-baꞌi mara risa Lamatualain mana ola-olaꞌ nara. Losa hei o sangga dalaꞌ pake atahori feaꞌ fo risa Lamatualain Atahori Meumare Na.
53 who received the law at directions of agents, and did not keep it.
Lamatualain ate Nara mia sorga o rendi basa atoran adat fo Lamatualain nae fee hita, te hei nda toe sa.”
54 Now when they heard these things, they were split with a saw in their hearts, and they gnashed their teeth against him.
Atahori mana endoꞌ sia mamana nggero dedꞌeat a rena Stefanus oꞌola na, ma rahine rae ana fee salaꞌ neu se. De rala nara mera ma rangginggio.
55 But being full of the Holy Spirit, having gazed into heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
Te Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumare Na dai Stefanus ena. Ana oroꞌa mete lalai a. De nita Lamatualain mandete-masaꞌan, no Lamatuaꞌ Yesus nambariiꞌ sia Lamatualain bobꞌoa ona Na, sia mamana nenefee hadat naa.
56 And he said, Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.
Ana olaꞌ nae, “Ama nggare. Au ita lalai a sii, ma Atahori Matetuꞌ a nambariiꞌ sia mamana nenefee hadat sia Lamatualain bobꞌoa ona Na.”
57 But they, having cried out in a great voice, held their ears shut, and rushed upon him with one accord.
Atahori mana endoꞌ sia naa ra rena ma, ara oꞌoo ndiki nara. Ara nggasi denu Stefanus oꞌoo bafa na. Basa se teteek fo rae aꞌame Stefanus.
58 And having expelled him out of the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments beside the feet of a young man called Saul.
Ara lea rendi e nisiꞌ kota a deaꞌ. Sakasi ra olu badꞌu nara, de fee ana soruꞌ esa nara na Saulus toꞌu. Ana dadꞌi sira mana natatale na. Boe ma reu mbia Stefanus.
59 And they stoned Stephen, who was calling and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Ara feꞌe mbia Stefanus, ma ana randu nahereꞌ nae, “Lamatuaꞌ Yesus! Au fai ngga deka ena. Simbo mala au!”
60 And having knelt down, he cried out in a great voice, Lord, place not this sin to them. And after saying this, he slept.
Boe ma ana naꞌaloli napadilu neu lululangga na, de randu nahereꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ, afiꞌ fee se lemba-dꞌoi salaꞌ ia!” Basa ma, hahae na etu, ma ana mate.
