1 Nin nanin ku prist kudawe tirino Istifanu ku,”ilemone na ant alele din belu kite fe kiden are?
“Are these allegations true?” the high priest asked.
2 Istifanus nin kawa, “Nua nanin a Yahudawa nin na didawe, lanzannin! Kutelle kudewe na tidin ruugye, wa zuru nin cifi bite Ibrahim na wa dutu nanya kusarin Mesopotamia, kafin adak kusarin ka gwirin Haran.
“Brothers and fathers, listen to me!” Stephen replied. “God in his glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was living in Mesopotamia, before he moved to Haran.
3 Kutelle nin woeo gye, cino mmin mone na uduku nan na iyayife, duku, udu mmin mona ima dursu fi.
God told him, ‘Leave your country and your relatives, and go to the country that I'm going to show you.’
4 Amini Abrahem tina acino mmim mone, na Chaldia, amini wa dak Uharan anin soo kikane. Nin kidung ucif me kuu, Kutelle nin belingye anuzu mmimn mone na sosinku.
So he left the country of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran. After his father's death, God sent him here to this country where you now live.
5 Kubi kone Kutelle wadi asa naa Abraham mmin lisosin me ba. Vat nin nanin Kutelle su gye likawali ama nigye mming mona amasoku nin nisudu me, sa ligan. Nin nanin ma Abraham kubu kone awa dinin nin gono kana ama su ugadu me ba.
God didn't give Abraham an inheritance here, not even one square foot. But God did promise Abraham that he would give him and his descendants possession of the land, even though he had no children.
6 Nin bung Kutelle belle Abraham, 'Isudu fe masuo kipin limara. ima suo kikane udu akus akalin anas, lisosin mine kikane lin ma yitu licin ari.
God also told him that his descendants would live in a foreign country, and that they would be enslaved there, and would be mistreated for four hundred years.
7 Men ba nani ulada umugunta mine na itaa nono nin son, mba nin nutun min, nin kidun isudu fe madak ida usujaida [lidurun] nan mmin mone.
God said, ‘I will punish the nation that enslaves them. Eventually they will leave and come here to worship me.’
8 Kutelle nin dokace Abraham, asu nono ni lime me[mboo] ukaciya, nanin anit ma yinu inin nono Kutelle ari, Nin mbung ame Abraham se gono lisame Ishaku, kube na Ishaku wa tii ayira kulir, [8days] Abraham su gye ubo[ukaciya] nin mbung ame Ishaku mara gono me lisame Yakubu, Yakubu yita ucif nono likure, alena aYahudawe din yici nanin akune na cif bit.
God also gave Abraham the agreement regarding circumcision, and so when Isaac was born, Abraham circumcised him on the eighth day. Isaac was the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of the twelve patriarchs.
9 Iyiru gono ki kune Yakube laza ayi bara ucifime wa yiru Yusufuku ataa gye kinnayi me. Inanin wa lewu gye nacara nanan kasau, inanin wa yiru gye udu Umasar, kikane amini suo unan licin. Vat nanin Kutelle mini na bung Yusufu ku.
The patriarchs, who were jealous of Joseph, sold him into slavery in Egypt. But God was with him,
10 Amini wasugye ukariya kikana anit wani uwahala. Amini wa nigye uhikima kan, amini watii Firaun, ogo Masar, asu umong icine kitenen Yusufu. Nin nanin Firauna nin nin yira gye asu umulki nanya Masar nin yenju kuturan Firauna.
and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave him wisdom and helped him gain the favor of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over Egypt and the royal household.
11 Dana Yusufu wadin su kata kane, iduru kon kubi na umonli wasali nanya mmin Masar nin Kaana, Anit wa di tikanci kan. Kubi kone Yakubu nin nonome na iwa dinin ni mmonli ba
Now a famine occurred throughout Egypt and Canaan. It caused terrible misery, and our forefathers had no food.
12 Dana Yakubu lanza imonli lesu din Masar, amini wa tuu nuono me udu Umasarinan di seru imonli li, inanin wa duo idi seru imonli kitin Yusufu, inanin wa yinin Yusufu ku b, inanin wa kpilin kilari.
When Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt he sent our forefathers down on their first visit.
13 Kubi kona nuona Yusufu duo iseri ni monli unbe kikanere, anin benle nanin ame ari. Nin nanere Firauna nin yino an Yusufu a Yahudaweri, nin anit ale na idaa unuzu Kaana nuona mere.
During their second visit, Joseph revealed to his brothers who he was, and Pharaoh discovered Joseph's family background.
14 Nanin nin kidun na Yusufu tuo nuona me kilari, inin benle ucif mine Yakubu Yusuf dinin us me nin iyalime idak Umasar ida suo k. Kubi kone Yakube nin nono me wadi akut kuzor nin kutochin
Joseph sent for his father and all his relatives—seventy-five in total.
15 Dana Yakubu lanza nani, ame nin lilari me yga udu Umasar. Nin kidun Yakube kuu kikane, nin na mong akune bit, nin nono me kuu kikane
Jacob traveled to Egypt, and died there—as did our forefathers.
16 Inanin wa yiru abi niwo mine idamu kutin bit kikane ikasa nanin kikana ucif bit Abraham naseru nanya kagbirin Shechem.
Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought with silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
17 Akune bite taa gbardan kubi kona Kutelle wa dinin su utucu mine kiti na Msrawe, nafo na ana su Abraham ku ualkawali.
As the time approached regarding the promise that God had made to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt increased.
18 Umong ugo da a suumulki Umasar, na ame yiru Yusufu ku ba na amere wabun nanin kubikona awadi mulkeba,
A new king came to the throne in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph.
19 Ugo ne rusuzonanin kurun asu uzalamci kit na kune bite ana nin uwahalakang. Amini wa tii nanin itusu nono nibebene mine idas ni lari mine inan kuzu.
He took advantage of our people and treated our ancestors badly, forcing them to abandon their babies so they would die.
20 Kubi konere iwa maru Musa k, Kutelle, nin yene gye gono ki gigimeri kan. Nin nanin acif me nashe gye nanya kilai nanya tipui ti tat
It was at this time that Moses was born. He was a handsome child, and for three months he was looked after in his father's home.
21 Inanin wa ce ghe idas kilare, bara ushonon Ifirauna nan nin seghe ibiu kigawa, amini wa minghe nafo gono mere.
When he had to be abandoned, Pharaoh's daughter rescued him and took care of him as her own son.
22 Iwa dursuza Muse ku vat ukoyo na ani Masarawe yiru mu, amini wa gunjo asu imong ezikiki kan
Moses received instruction in all areas of Egyptian knowledge, and he became a powerful speaker and leader.
23 In lonliri kubi kona Musa wa di akus akut kutochin, amini yina kibinai me ama di lisu anit me, a Israila
However, when he was forty years old, he decided to visit his relatives, the Israelites.
24 Amini wa yene ku Masarawa di fuo ku Israila. Bara nanin amini wa tinin adi buno ku Israila, atina amolo ku Masarawe.
He saw one of them being mistreated, so he intervened to defend him. On behalf of the man he took revenge and killed the Egyptian.
25 Muse wa suso ku Israila maynnu Kutelle na tuu ghe ada bolu nanin nanya lichin Masaraware. Bara nani ne inin wa yinin ba.
Moses thought his fellow Israelites would see that God was rescuing them through him, but they didn't.
26 Nin kuiy, Muse yene ku Israila din fuo atimine. Amini wa cina ukosu nani, Anit, anin na biye li nwana a Israila! Bara yanghari idin fuo ani mine?
The next day when he arrived, two Israelites were fighting one another. He tried to reconcile them and stop the fight. ‘Men! You are brothers!’ he told them. ‘Why are you attacking each other?’
27 Ame ulena awa lanza gwana me ukule turno Museku kusari ani benle ''aa ghari taa fi kulauya kiti bit!
But the man who had started the fight pushed Moses away. ‘Who put you in charge over us? Are you our judge now?’ he asked.
28 Udinin suu umoli nafo na una molu ku Masarawe ilenghe?
‘Are you going to kill me like you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 Dana Musa lanza nanin atin na achino u Masarawe acoo udu mmin Midiniawa. Amini wa ti akus kikane. amini wa suu ilima kikan iwane mara ghe nono niba.
When he heard this, Moses ran away. He went and lived in exile in the land of Midian, where two sons were born to him.
30 lon lir akus akuta nas nin kidun, Kutelle seeghe nanya gono kadura me udu kiti Musa. Ani see Musa ku nanya galtun kushoo kona kuwandin jujuki dawo nanya kushoo kukau ku popo likup.
Forty years later, in the desert of Mount Sinai, an angel appeared to him in the flames of a burning bush.
31 Dana Musa yene nanin asu umamaki, bara ula wadin lii kushe amana kushoo juju kidawo ba, dana ada kupopo kushoo anan yen, amini wa tini alanaza liwui Kutelle yichu ghe,
When Moses saw this, he was amazed at the sight, and went over to take a closer look. The voice of the Lord spoke to him:
32 'Men Kutelleri ulena akunefe na zazu. Men Kutelle Abraham, Ishaku, nin Yakubu na ina zazu. Musa lanza fiu kan atina ketuzu. Alanza fiu yeju kushoo tutun.
‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.’ Moses shook with fear and didn't dare look up.
33 Nanin Kutelle woroghe akala akwatak me auro sa udin daukaki. Bara kika na uduku kiti kilauwari kinaniari.
The Lord told him, ‘Take off your sandals, because where you are standing is holy ground.
34 Imali yenu elemon na ann Masarawa di ni anit nin ti kanci. Ilanza aniti nin kubi kona idin ghilu. men daa ida bolu nanin nachara na Marawa. Nene fita, bara idin chinu utufi nanya Masar,
I have closely observed the suffering of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groans. I have come down to rescue them. Now come over here, for I'm sending you to Egypt.’
35 Musa amere wa bung nono Israila, ulena iwa narighe, inin woro, aa ahri na tifi un kulau kitibit! Musare Kutelle na tuu ghe asu umulki mine ani bolu nanin nanyaa lichin amere ule na gono kadura gye kushe walin ghe suu imene.
This was the same Moses that the people had rejected when they said, ‘Who made you a ruler and judge over us?’ God sent him to be both a ruler and a liberator, by means of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 Musa amere wa nutun akunebite in Masar. aamini wa wasu imong eziki gbardan, nanya Masar bara ana dura Kutelle wa di nin ghe, kurawa kku shine nin akus akuta nas anit Israila nadi nanya kushoo.
Moses led them out after performing miraculous signs in Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and continued to do so in the desert for forty years.
37 Ule Musare na awa benli anit Israila, 'Ktelle maa dani nin mong nanya na nit mine asuo kuannabit nafo men.
This is the same Moses who promised the Israelites, ‘God will send you a prophet like me from among your people.’
38 Ule unitere Musa na awadi nanya na Israila na awadi nanghinu nannya kushoo; amere gono kadure Kutelle wadi nin ghe likup Sinai. Amere Musa na Kutelle na nighetidokoki bite, amere ulena abelin akune bite tipipin tona unan kadure wa belin. Amere ulena ana seru tipipin Kutelle udu kiti bite dana tidin belu nari tusu lisosin linsali ligan udu kusari bit.
Moses was with God's assembled people in the desert when the angel spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and there with our forefathers he received God's living word to give to us.
39 Vat nin nani akune bite wa nari lanzu Muse k, inani wa nari asuo nani udia mine, inani wa dinin suu i kpilin udu Masarawa.
He was the one our fathers wouldn't listen to. They rejected him and decided to return to Egypt.
40 Bara nani inani wa beli yayame Haruna, 'kele nari kudodo kono kuma suo nari kutelle ayiru nari udu Umasar. Bara ame Muse na tiyiru yeri se ghe ba.
They told Aaron, ‘Make gods for us to lead us, because we don't know what's happened to this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt.’
41 Inani wa kee kutelle kaluka. inani wa nakpiza tihadayu mine mbung kaluke inan zazin kudode, inani wa suu afu nin niwawa bara ilemong na inin kele.
Then they made an idol in the shape of a calf, sacrificed to it, and celebrated what they themselves had made!
42 Bara nani Kutelle tina chino ukelu nani. Amini chino nani isuu uwui, upoi nin niyin, kitene kitene kane usujaida. ulele di daidai nin tipipi too umong ku uan liru nuu Kutelle n yertin: Kutelle na belin, Anun anit Israila, kubi kona na iwa libun molsu ina nin nakpizu tihadaya mine nanya akus akut anas na iwadi nanya kushoo, inani wa nakpiza meghari ku tihadaye?
So God gave up on them. He left them to their worship of the stars in the sky. This is what the prophets wrote, ‘Were you giving offerings or making sacrifices to me during the forty years in the desert, you Israelites?
43 Bada nanin iwayiru kudaga udu niniti kona kuwa di nin aloli kutelle Molech inani wa suu ghe usujaida. Inan tutun iwa yiru usufa fiyin ulena iwa yichu ghe Rephan. alelere akunki alena iwa kiye inani wa suu manin usujaida na menba. bara nani ima tii ida yiru nilari pii udu kankagbiri dana kadi pii dana ka ta Ubabila.
No, you carried the Tabernacle of the god Moloch and the image of the god Rephan's star, images that you made so you could worship them. So I will banish you in exile beyond Babylon.’
44 Kube na achif biteiwa di nanya kushoo, inani wa suu Kutelle ku usujaida nanya kudaga nafo awadi nanghinu. Inani wa kiye kudaga nafo na Kutelle na belin Muse ku. kuwa di nafo kona Muse wa yene kitene likupe.
Our ancestors had the Tabernacle of Testimony in the desert. God had told Moses how he should make it following the blueprint he had seen.
45 Udak kidun, ukon kunebit ayira kutent kone kubi kona Joshua wa dak nin ghinu nanya mminghe. Kubi konere iwa bolu mmin mone, kubi kona Kutelle wa nutun anite alena iwa di nanya mminmone, att nain inuzu. Bara nani Israila kifo mmin moneiman taa min mine, Kudanaghe wadi nanya mine ni duu ayiri ugo Dauda.
Later on, our forefathers carried it with them when they went in with Joshua to occupy the land taken from the nations the Lord drove out before them. It stayed there until the time of David.
46 Duda taa ayi Kutelle man amini wa tirin Kutelle ku sa akeeghe kilari kika na ame nin vat anit Israila ima suu ghe sujaida.
David found favor with God and asked to make a more permanent home for the God of Jacob.
47 Bara nani Kutelle nin woro Dauda ku uson fere Sulaimanu ma keyi kilari kika na anit ma suu usujaida.
But it was Solomon who built a Temple for him.
48 ''Bara nani, iyiru kitele katin likara koyan. Na awngya asuo kilari kana ani kiye ba. nafo na Ishaya una liru nuu Kutelle wa nyertin:
Of course the Almighty doesn't live in temples we make. As the prophet said,
49 Kutelle woro ''kitene ukursiyi nighari, kutin tutun kiti patilu nin ghari musu kiyapin kilari imaa keyi mugha? Men litini ina kie imong vat kitene nin kutin.
‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth the place I put my feet. What kind of dwelling could you build for me?’ the Lord asks. ‘What bed could you make for me to rest in?
50 Bara anun anit ari iwaya kelai kilari kana men wanya isuu nanya kinin ba?
Didn't I make everything?’
51 Anun anit atimine di gagan kitime! idi nafo akune minere! iani naru Ufunu lauwe, nafo na ini suu!
You arrogant, hard-hearted people! You never listen! You always fight against the Holy Spirit! You act just like your fathers did!
52 akune mine watii anan liru nuu Kutelle ti kanchi kan. Inani wa molu alena iwa beli ubelen dakin Kristi, amere ma chas ana nonko kibinai Kutelle man. Kristi une na malin dak! Amere ule na na ina kpilin nanan ni vira meinani na yisi imolughe!
Was there ever a prophet your fathers didn't persecute? They killed those who prophesied about the coming of the one who is truly good and right. He is the one you betrayed and murdered—
53 Anughere anite na ina seru tidokoki Kutelle. Too tidokore Kutelle nani gono kadura me ani acif bite, vat nanma na ina durtu ti dokokeba.
you who received the law by means of the angels, but refused to keep it.”
54 Kube na anan ma wucuwucu na Yahudawe nin saure lanza vat elemon na Istifanus benle, inani wa lanza ayii ka. Inani wa din talu na yini mine bara ilemong na Istifanu benle nanin!
When they heard this, the council members became mad with rage, and snarled at him, grinding their teeth.
55 bara nani Ufunu ulau tin nonko kibinai Istifanus. Amini tii iyizime kitene kane atina ayene ikanan laa Kutelle. Amini wa yene Yesu ku yisin mbung chara ulime Kutelle.
But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed up into heaven and saw God's glory, with Jesus standing at God's right hand.
56 ''Yene,''aworo'' iyene kutenle puno, imini yene gono nit yisin kusari chara ulime Kutelle
“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open, and the Son of Man standing at God's right hand.”
57 Dana anan ma wucuwucu na Yahudawe nin usaura mine lanza. inani watii inteed kan. Inani wa tursu atuf mine ninna chara bara na iwa lanza ghe ba, sa umolukubi itinna imuna tii kiti me.
But they held their hands over their ears and shouted as loudly as they could. They rushed together at him,
58 Inani iwa wunun gh udu udas kagbire Urshalima tina tauzu ghe nin na tala. Anit alena iwa suu kinu kitene me itina kala alituk mine ichau kupopo ko kunyana lisamw Shawulu amini wa suu uhaa nalituk ke.
dragged him out of the city, and began to stone him. His accusers laid their coats down beside a young man called Saul.
59 Dana ilau ubun tauzu ghe nin natale, Stifanus taa nlira,''Ucikilari nin Yesu sere ifip nighe!
As they went on stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
60 Nin nani Stifanus tin na adeu kitin ani jartin, Cikilari, na uwa kifo nani kulapi kona ba! Nin kidun na benle nani, atina kuu.
He kneeled down, calling out, “Lord, please don't hold this sin against them!” And after he said this, he died.
