Acts 7
1 Then the high priest said, Are these things true?
Basa ma malangga monaeꞌ agama Yahudi natane Stefanus nae, “Ara kalaak ho naa, tebꞌe, do hokoꞌ?”
2 And he said, My brothers and fathers, give hearing. The God of glory came to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he was living 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 said to him, Go out of your land, and away from your family, and come into the land to which I will be your guide.
4 Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and went into Haran; and from there, when his father was dead, he was guided by God into this land, where you are living now:
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 God gave him no heritage in it, not even enough to put his foot on: but he gave him an undertaking that he would give it to him and to his children after him, though he had no child at that time.
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 said that his seed would be living in a strange land, and that they would make them servants, and be cruel to them for 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 be the judge, said God, of that nation which made them servants: and after that, they will come out and give me worship 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 made with him the agreement of which circumcision was the sign. And so Abraham had a son, Isaac, and gave him circumcision on the eighth day; and Isaac had a son, Jacob, and Jacob was the father of the twelve heads of the families of Israel.
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 brothers, moved with envy against Joseph, gave him to the Egyptians for money: but 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 made him free from all his troubles, and gave him wisdom and the approval of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him ruler over Egypt and all his 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 there was no food to be had in all Egypt and Canaan, and there was great trouble: and our fathers were not able to get food.
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 Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out 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 the second time his brothers had a meeting with Joseph, and Pharaoh had knowledge of Joseph's family.
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 Then Joseph sent for Jacob his father and all his family, seventy-five persons.
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 to Egypt, and came to his end there, and so did our fathers;
De Yakob se lali Masir reu. Basa de, hita bei-baꞌi nara mate mia naa.
16 And they were taken over to Shechem, and put to rest in the place which Abraham got for a price in silver from the sons of Hamor in 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 when the time was near for putting into effect the undertaking which God had given to Abraham, the people were increasing 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 Till another king came to power, who had no knowledge of Joseph.
Leleꞌ naa, mane feuꞌ sa toꞌu parendaꞌ sia Masir. Te nda nahine Yusuf sa.
19 He, having evil designs against our nation, was cruel to our fathers, and they were forced to put out their young children, so that they might not go on living.
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 At which time Moses came to birth, and he was very beautiful; and he was kept for 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 put out, Pharaoh's daughter took him and kept him as her son.
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 trained in all the wisdom of Egypt, and was great in his words and works.
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 he was almost forty years old, it came into his heart to go and see his brothers, the children of Israel.
Musa too haa nulu boe ma, ana nae neu nahine atahori Israꞌel nara.
24 And seeing one of them being attacked, he went to his help and gave the Egyptian a death-blow:
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 was hoping that his brothers would see that God had sent him to be their saviour; but they did not see.
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 the day after, he came to them, while they were having a fight, and would have made peace between them, saying, Sirs, you are brothers; why do you do wrong to one another?
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 who was doing wrong to his neighbour, pushing him away, said, Who made you 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 Will you put me to death as you did the Egyptian yesterday?
Mbei ma ho mae misa au, onaꞌ ho misa atahori Masir a afis a, do?’
29 And at these words, Moses went in flight to the land of Midian, and was living there for a time, and had 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 At the end of forty years, an angel came to him in the waste land of Sinai, in the flame of a burning thorn-tree.
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 Moses, seeing it, was full of wonder, and when he came up to have a nearer view of it, the voice of the Lord came to him, saying,
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 your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob. And Moses, shaking with fear, kept his eyes from looking at it.
‘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, Take off the shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy.
Boe ma Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, ‘We Musa! Ho ririi sia rae meumareꞌ. De olu hendi laopei ma!
34 Truly, I have seen the sorrows of my people in Egypt, and their cries have come to my ears, and I have come down to make them free: and now, come, I will send you to 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 would not have, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? him God sent to be a ruler and a saviour, by the hand of the angel whom he saw in the thorn-tree.
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 took them out, having done wonders and signs in Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the waste land, for 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 same Moses, who said to the children of Israel, God will give you a prophet from among 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 the man who was in the church in the waste land with the angel who was talking to him in Sinai, and with our fathers; and to him were given the living words of God, so that he might give them to you.
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 By whom our fathers would not be controlled; but they put him on one side, turning back in their hearts 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 And saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has become of 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 the image of a young ox in those days, and made an offering to it, and had joy in the work 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 was turned from them and let them give worship to the stars of heaven, as it says in the book of the prophets, Did you make offerings to me of sheep and oxen for forty years in the waste land, 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 you took up the tent of Moloch and the star of the god Rephan, images which you made to give worship to them: and I will take you away, farther than 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 Our fathers had the Tent of witness in the waste land, as God gave orders to Moses to make it after the design which 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 our fathers, in their turn, took with them when, with Joshua, they came into the heritage of the nations whom God was driving out before the face of our fathers, till the time 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 was pleasing to God; and he had a desire to make a holy tent 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 was the builder of his house.
Te ana na Soleman mana nafefela Ume Hule-Oꞌe Huuꞌ a.
48 But still, the Most High has not his resting-place in houses made with hands, 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 Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is a resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, says the Lord, or what is my place of 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 You whose hearts are hard and whose ears are shut to me; you are ever working against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.
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 was not cruelly attacked by your fathers? and they put to death those who gave them the news of the coming of the Upright One; whom you have now given up and put to death;
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 You, to whom the law was given as it was ordered by angels, and who have not kept it.
Lamatualain ate Nara mia sorga o rendi basa atoran adat fo Lamatualain nae fee hita, te hei nda toe sa.”
54 Hearing these things, they were cut to the heart and moved with wrath 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 he was full of the Holy Spirit, and looking up to heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus 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, Now I see heaven open, and the Son of man 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 with loud cries, and stopping their ears, they made an attack on him all together,
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 Driving him out of the town and stoning him: and the witnesses put their clothing at the feet of a young man named 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 Stephen, while he was being stoned, made prayer to God, saying, Lord Jesus, take my spirit.
Ara feꞌe mbia Stefanus, ma ana randu nahereꞌ nae, “Lamatuaꞌ Yesus! Au fai ngga deka ena. Simbo mala au!”
60 And going down on his knees, he said in a loud voice, Lord, do not make them responsible for this sin. And when he had said this, he went to his rest.
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.
