Acts 7
1 Then sayd the chiefe Priest, Are these things so?
Tua zawkciang in thiampi sang in, hi thu te tabangma ziam? ci hi.
2 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,
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 And said vnto him, Come out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and come into the land, which I shall shewe thee.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And the Patriarkes moued with enuie, solde Ioseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
Taciang minam a dingsak te in ki enna hang in Joseph sia Egypt ngam ah zuak uh hi napi: Pathian in ompui a,
10 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.
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 Then came there a famine ouer all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction, that our fathers found no sustenance.
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 But when Iacob heard that there was corne in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
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 And at the second time, Ioseph was knowen of his brethren, and Iosephs kindred was made knowen vnto Pharao.
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 Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kindred, euen threescore and fifteene soules.
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 So Iacob went downe into Egypt, and he dyed, and our fathers,
Tua ahikom Jacob sia Egypt ngam ah pai a, ama le i pupi te tuak ah thi hi,
16 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.
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 But when the time of the promise drewe neere, which God had sworne to Abraham, the people grewe and multiplied in Egypt,
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 Till another King arose, which knewe not Ioseph.
Joseph a he ngawl a dang kumpi khat hong khan dong in pung uh hi.
19 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.
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 The same time was Moses borne, and was acceptable vnto God, which was nourished vp in his fathers house three moneths.
Tua hun in Moses suak a, ama sia hoi mama hi, taciang a pa inn ah tha thum sung ki vak hi:
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter tooke him vp, and nourished him for her owne sonne.
Taciang ama sia a puasang ah a ki vawk ciang in, Pharaoh tanu in la a, ama tapa tu in vak hi.
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdome of the Egyptians, and was mightie in wordes and in deedes.
Tua Moses in Egypt te pilna theampo sin a, ama sia kampau le sepna ah lawcing mama hi.
23 Nowe when he was full fourtie yeere olde, it came into his heart to visite his brethren, the children of Israel.
Taciang ama sia kum sawmli a phak ciang in, a suapui Israel tate ve nopna a thinsung pan hong suak hi.
24 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.
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 For hee supposed his brethren would haue vnderstand, that God by his hande should giue them deliuerance: but they vnderstoode it not.
Banghangziam cile Pathian in ama khut zang in amate suatak tu hi, ci a suapui te in he tu in ngaisun hi:
26 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?
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 But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a prince, and a iudge ouer vs?
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 Wilt thou kill mee, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
Zei ni Egypt pa na thalup bang in hong that nuam ni ziam? ci hi.
29 Then fled Moses at that saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begate two sonnes.
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 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.
Kum sawm li a bo ciang in, Sinai mual duisung ah Topa vantungmi sia lophung kuang bang in kilang hi.
31 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,
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 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.
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 Then the Lord said to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feete: for the place where thou standest, is holy ground.
Tua zawkciang in Topa in ama kung ah, na peangdap sut in: banghangziam cile na dinna mun sia a thiangtho leitang a hihi.
34 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.
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 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.
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 Hee brought them out, doing wonders, and miracles in the land of Egypt, and in the red sea, and in the wildernes fourtie yeeres.
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 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.
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 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.
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 To whom our fathers would not obey, but refused, and in their hearts turned backe againe into Egypt:
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 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.
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 And they made a calfe in those dayes, and offered sacrifice vnto the idole, and reioyced in the workes of their owne handes.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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:
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 Who found fauour before God, and desired that hee might finde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
David in Pathian mai ah maipha nga a, Jacob Pathian atu biakbuk sa tu in ngen hi.
47 But Salomon built him an house.
Ahihang Solomon in Pathian atu in inn sa hi.
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with handes, as saith the Prophet,
Ahihang a sangbel Pathian sia khut taw a kisa biakinn sung ah om ngawl hi; kamsang i a son na ah,
49 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?
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 Hath not mine hand made all these things?
Hi thu te theampo sia keima khut taw ka vawt hi ngawl ziam? ci hi.
51 Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
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 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,
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 Which haue receiued the Lawe by the ordinance of Angels, and haue not kept it.
Vantungmi te i hu na taw thukham na sang uh a, na zui bua uh hi, ci hi.
54 But when they heard these thinges, their heartes brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
Amate in hi thu te a zak uh ciang in, nasiatak in thin-uk mama uh a, a ha te ngoai uh hi.
55 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,
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 And said, Beholde, I see the heauens open, and the Sonne of man standing at the right hand of God.
En vun, van ki hong a, Pathian ziatsang ah mihing Tapa a ding ka mu hi, ci hi.
57 Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ranne vpon him violently all at once,
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 And cast him out of the citie, and stoned him: and the witnesses layd downe their clothes at a yong mans feete, named Saul.
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 And they stoned Steuen, who called on God, and said, Lord Iesus, receiue my spirit.
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 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.
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.
