Acts 7
1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
Tua zawkciang in thiampi sang in, hi thu te tabangma ziam? ci hi.
2 And he said, "Brethren and fathers, hearken, ---The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when 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 to him, Depart from thy native country and from thy kindred, and come into the country which I shall shew 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 he came out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, after his father died, He removed him into this land in which 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 though He gave him no inheritance in it, no not the breadth of a foot; but He promised to give it to him for a possession, even to his seed after him; though he had then no child."
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 And God spake thus unto him, "that his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and they shall in slave and abuse them four hundred years:"
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 and God said, "I will judge the nation, to which they shall be in slavery; and afterwards they shall come out, and shall worship 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 And He gave him the covenant of circumcision: and he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
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 patriarchs, envying him, sold Joseph 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 delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he appointed him governor over Egypt, and over all his houshold.
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 And there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction; and our fathers could not find 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 Jacob hearing that there was corn in Egypt, sent out 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 Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known to Pharaoh.
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 Joseph sent for his father Jacob, and all his kindred, even seventy-five souls.
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 Jacob went down into Egypt, and died there, he and our fathers:
Tua ahikom Jacob sia Egypt ngam ah pai a, ama le i pupi te tuak ah thi hi,
16 and were carried to Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre which he had bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father 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 as the time of the promise drew near, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people increased 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, who knew not Joseph. This king formed crafty schemes against our nation,
Joseph a he ngawl a dang kumpi khat hong khan dong in pung uh hi.
19 and oppressed our fathers, causing their children to be exposed, that their race might be extinguished.
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 In which time Moses was born, who was exceeding beautiful, and he was nourished up in his father's house three months: and when he was exposed,
Tua hun in Moses suak a, ama sia hoi mama hi, taciang a pa inn ah tha thum sung ki vak hi:
21 Pharaoh's daughter took him up and nourished him for her own son.
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 trained up in all the wisdom of the Egyptians: and he was mighty in words, and in deeds.
Tua Moses in Egypt te pilna theampo sin a, ama sia kampau le sepna ah lawcing mama hi.
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit 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 seeing one of them injured he defended him, and smiting the Egyptian he avenged him that was wronged.
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 Now he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would give them deliverance by his hand: but they understood 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 came to them, as they were two of them fighting, and would have persuaded them to agree, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren, why do ye injure one 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 injured his neighbor, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
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 me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
Zei ni Egypt pa na thalup bang in hong that nuam ni ziam? ci hi.
29 Upon this Moses fled, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
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 forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount 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 Now Moses, when he saw it, was amazed at the sight; and as he came near to observe it, there was a voice of the Lord to him,
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 saying, "I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;" but Moses trembling durst not look on.
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 And the Lord said to him, "Take off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place on which 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 have seen the oppression of my people that are in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. Therefore come now, and I will send 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 whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? did God send, by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush, to be their ruler and deliverer.
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 And he brought them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the red sea, and in the wilderness, forty years.
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 who said unto the children of Israel, "A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, of your brethren, like unto me; Him shall ye hear."
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 who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel that spake to him on mount Sinai, and with our fathers; and who received the oracles of life to give unto us.
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 be subject, but renounced him, and in their hearts turned back 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 to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us; for as to this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. And they made a calf in those days,
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 offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
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 away, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets, "O house of Israel, did ye offer to me your victims and sacrifices, for the space of forty years in the wilderness?
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 yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them by: and I will carry 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 The tabernacle of witness was among our fathers in the wilderness, as He, that spake unto Moses, ordered him to make it according to the model which he had seen in the mount:
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 and which our fathers receiving, they with Joshua, brought into the territory of the nations, whom God drove out from before the face of our fathers, till the days of David, who found favor in the sight of God,
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 and was desirous to provide an habitation for the God of Jacob.
David in Pathian mai ah maipha nga a, Jacob Pathian atu biakbuk sa tu in ngen hi.
47 But Solomon built Him an house.
Ahihang Solomon in Pathian atu in inn sa hi.
48 Though the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands, as the prophet saith,
Ahihang a sangbel Pathian sia khut taw a kisa biakinn sung ah om ngawl hi; kamsang i a son na ah,
49 "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what house will ye build for me, saith the Lord, or what is the place of my rest?
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 my hand made all these things?" ---
Hi thu te theampo sia keima khut taw ka vawt hi ngawl ziam? ci hi.
51 Ye stiff-necked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.
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 did not your fathers persecute? and slew those who prophesied concerning the coming of that righteous One, of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers;
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 who received the law by the ministration of angels, and yet have not kept it.
Vantungmi te i hu na taw thukham na sang uh a, na zui bua uh hi, ci hi.
54 And when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart and gnashed their teeth at him.
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 Spirit looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus 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 he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son 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 cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
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 city and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man, whose name was 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 Stephen calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive 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 bending his knees, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this he fell asleep.
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.
