Katwa Nono Katwa 7
1 Nin nanin ku prist kudawe tirino Istifanu ku,”ilemone na ant alele din belu kite fe kiden are?
Then the High Priest asked him, "Are these statements true?"
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.
The reply of Stephen was, "Sirs--brethren and fathers--listen to me. God Most Glorious appeared to our forefather Abraham when he was living in Mesopotamia, before he settled in Haran,
3 Kutelle nin woeo gye, cino mmin mone na uduku nan na iyayife, duku, udu mmin mona ima dursu fi.
and said to him, "'Leave your country and your relatives, and go into whatever land I point out to 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.
"Thereupon he left Chaldaea and settled in Haran till after the death of his father, when God caused him to remove into 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.
But he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not a single square yard of ground. And yet He promised to bestow the land as a permanent possession on him and his posterity after him--and promised this at a time when Abraham was childless.
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.
And God declared that Abraham's posterity should for four hundred years make their home in a country not their own, and be reduced to slavery and be oppressed.
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.
"'And the nation, whichever it is, that enslaves them, I will judge,' said God; 'and afterwards they shall come out, and they shall worship Me in this place.'
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.
"Then He gave him the Covenant of circumcision, and under this Covenant he became the father of Isaac--whom he circumcised on the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became 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 were jealous of Joseph and 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 delivered him from all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who appointed him governor over Egypt and all 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
But there came a famine throughout the whole of Egypt and Canaan--and great distress--so that our forefathers could find 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, however, Jacob heard that there was wheat to be had, he sent our forefathers into Egypt; that was the first time.
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.
On their second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Pharaoh was informed of Joseph's parentage.
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
Then Joseph sent and invited his father Jacob and all his family, numbering seventy-five persons, to come to him,
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
and Jacob went down into Egypt. There he died, and so did our forefathers,
16 Inanin wa yiru abi niwo mine idamu kutin bit kikane ikasa nanin kikana ucif bit Abraham naseru nanya kagbirin Shechem.
and they were taken to Shechem and were laid in the tomb which Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a sum of money paid in silver.
17 Akune bite taa gbardan kubi kona Kutelle wa dinin su utucu mine kiti na Msrawe, nafo na ana su Abraham ku ualkawali.
"But as the time drew near for the fulfilment of the promise which God had made to Abraham, the people became many times more numerous in Egypt,
18 Umong ugo da a suumulki Umasar, na ame yiru Yusufu ku ba na amere wabun nanin kubikona awadi mulkeba,
until there arose a foreign king over Egypt who knew nothing of 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 adopted a crafty policy towards our race, and oppressed our forefathers, making them cast out their infants so that they might not be permitted to live.
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
At this time Moses was born--a wonderfully beautiful child; and for three months he was cared for in his father's house.
21 Inanin wa ce ghe idas kilare, bara ushonon Ifirauna nan nin seghe ibiu kigawa, amini wa minghe nafo gono mere.
At length he was cast out, but Pharaoh's daughter adopted him, and brought him up as her own son.
22 Iwa dursuza Muse ku vat ukoyo na ani Masarawe yiru mu, amini wa gunjo asu imong ezikiki kan
So Moses was educated in all the learning of the Egyptians, and possessed great influence through his eloquence and his achievements.
23 In lonliri kubi kona Musa wa di akus akut kutochin, amini yina kibinai me ama di lisu anit me, a Israila
"And when he was just forty years old, it occurred to him to visit his brethren the descendants of Israel.
24 Amini wa yene ku Masarawa di fuo ku Israila. Bara nanin amini wa tinin adi buno ku Israila, atina amolo ku Masarawe.
Seeing one of them wrongfully treated he took his part, and secured justice for the ill-treated man by striking down 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.
He supposed his brethren to be aware that by him God was sending them deliverance; this, however, they did not understand.
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, also, he came and found two of them fighting, and he endeavoured to make peace between them. "'Sirs,' he said, 'you are brothers. Why are you wronging one another?'
27 Ame ulena awa lanza gwana me ukule turno Museku kusari ani benle ''aa ghari taa fi kulauya kiti bit!
"But the man who was doing the wrong resented his interference, and asked, "'Who appointed you magistrate and judge over us?
28 Udinin suu umoli nafo na una molu ku Masarawe ilenghe?
Do you mean to kill me as 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.
"Alarmed at this question, Moses fled from the country and went to live in the land of Midian. There he became the father of two sons.
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.
"But at the end of forty years there appeared to him in the Desert of Mount Sinai an angel in the middle of a flame of fire in a 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 wondered at the sight; but on his going up to look further, the voice of the Lord was heard, saying,
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 forefathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob.' "Quaking with fear Moses did not dare gaze.
33 Nanin Kutelle woroghe akala akwatak me auro sa udin daukaki. Bara kika na uduku kiti kilauwari kinaniari.
"'Take off your shoes,' said the Lord, 'for the spot on which 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 seen, yes, I have seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt and have heard their groans, and I have come down to deliver them. And now I will send 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.
"The Moses whom they rejected, asking him, 'Who appointed you magistrate and judge?' --that same Moses we find God sending as a magistrate and a deliverer by the help 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.
This was he who brought them out, after performing marvels and signs in Egypt and at the Red Sea, and 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 Moses who said to the descendants of Israel, "'God will raise up a Prophet for you, from among your brethren, just as He raised me up.'
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.
'This is he who was among the Congregation in the Desert, together with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai and with our forefathers, who received ever-living utterances to hand on 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.
"Our forefathers, however, would not submit to him, but spurned his authority and in their hearts turned back 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 said to Aaron, "'Make gods for us, to march in front of us; for as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'
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.
"Moreover they made a calf at that time, and offered a sacrifice to the idol and kept rejoicing in the gods which their own hands 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 turned from them and gave them up to the worship of the Host of Heaven, as it is written in the Book of the Prophets, "'Were they victims and sacrifices which you offered Me, forty years in the Desert, O House of Israel?
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.
Yes, you lifted up Moloch's tent and the Star of the God Rephan--the images which you made in order to worship them; and I will remove you 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 forefathers had the Tent of the Testimony in the Desert, built as He who spoke to Moses had instructed him to make it in imitation of the model which 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.
That Tent was bequeathed to the next generation of our forefathers. Under Joshua they brought it with them when they were taking possession of the land of the Gentile nations, whom God drove out before them. So it continued till David's time.
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 obtained favour with God, and asked leave to provide a dwelling-place 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 house 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:
Yet the Most High does not dwell in buildings erected by men's hands. But, as the Prophet declares,
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.
"'The sky is My throne, and earth is the footstool for My feet. What kind of house will you build for Me, says the Lord, or what resting place shall I have?
50 Bara anun anit ari iwaya kelai kilari kana men wanya isuu nanya kinin ba?
Did not My hand form this universe.'
51 Anun anit atimine di gagan kitime! idi nafo akune minere! iani naru Ufunu lauwe, nafo na ini suu!
"O stiff-necked men, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you also are continually at strife with the Holy Spirit--just as your forefathers were.
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!
Which of the Prophets did not your forefathers persecute? Yes, they killed those who announced beforehand the advent of the righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become--
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 given through angels, and yet have not obeyed 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!
As they listened to these words, they became infuriated and gnashed their teeth at him.
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, full of the Holy Spirit and looking up to Heaven, Stephen saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God's right hand.
56 ''Yene,''aworo'' iyene kutenle puno, imini yene gono nit yisin kusari chara ulime Kutelle
"I can see Heaven wide open," he said, "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.
Upon this, with a loud outcry they stopped their ears, rushed upon Stephen in a body,
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 stoned him, the witnesses throwing off their outer garments and giving them into the care of a young man called Saul.
59 Dana ilau ubun tauzu ghe nin natale, Stifanus taa nlira,''Ucikilari nin Yesu sere ifip nighe!
So they stoned Stephen, while he 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.
Then, rising on his knees, he cried aloud, "Lord, do not reckon this sin against them." And with these words he fell asleep.
