Acts 7
1 Then sayd the chiefe Priest, Are these things so?
Utekhen'chi umbaha akhachova imbombo in'chin'cha leli”?
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,
U Sitefano akhan'chova akhata, “Valukolo lwango numwe va baba vango, mumulehen'che une: Unguluve va vudwadwa an'gulume ubaba vito u Abrahamu walipa Masopotamia, vabadu satamile khu Halani,'
3 And said vnto him, Come out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and come into the land, which I shall shewe thee.
uhege mukilunga kyakho navalukololo ulutage khukhilunga eikhi ya khiva mkhokhovonesya'.
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,
Puu akhahege mukilunga kya Ukaludayo alukhutama khu Halani, ukhuhuma apo, ubaba va mwene vu afuile, Unguluve akhandeta mukhilunga eikhii eikhi vitama lino.
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.
Sakhampa khinu nduvu hale wa mwene, sapale nei nafasi ei ya khuvikha amalunde. Pakhuva uAbrahamu avuliwee vubadu sapatile umwana ukhuta ipata ikhulunga ukhuva vahale wa mwene na vana va mwene.
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.
Unguluve akhan'chova nave akhata avaholiwa va mwene vakhali vatamaga eikhulunga kya vageni, nukhuta avaholiwa va ukhu vikhu vavikha ukhuva vatumwa nukhuvavombela fivi usikhe gwa miakha ei mia nne.
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.
Nu Nguluve akhata nihega ikhilunga eikhi yakhuva khikhuvavikha vatumwa, pakhuva vihega nukhuiei saya uluvalu ulu.'
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.
Puu akhampa uAbrahamu ulwidehano nukhukeketa, uAbrahamu akhava baba va Esikaka akha nkenketa ei lichuva lya nane; u Esikaka akhava baba va Yakovo, nu Yakovo akhava baba va vakukhu vito khechigo na vavili.
9 And the Patriarkes moued with enuie, solde Ioseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
Avakukhu yetu vakhamboneha uwifu uYusufu vakhagucha khu Misili, nu Nguluve akhava paninee nave,
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.
akhanpokha pa tabu(sida) ya mwene akhampa nuluhala pamiho ga Falao unbaha vakhu Misili. U Falao akhambekha akhava imbaha vava Misili nei nyumba ya mwene yoni.
11 Then came there a famine ouer all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction, that our fathers found no sustenance.
Pu khukhava nee njala ei mbaha nee tabu ei mbaha khu Misili na khu Kanani, nava baba veto savakhapata ukyakhulwa.
12 But when Iacob heard that there was corne in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
Pu uYakobo vuapulikhe ukhuta khuli kyakhulwa khu Misili, akhavasuha ava baba veto ututan'chi.
13 And at the second time, Ioseph was knowen of his brethren, and Iosephs kindred was made knowen vnto Pharao.
Ulwavile uYusufu akhivonesya khuva lukololwe eikhivumbukho kya Yusufu khikhamanyikha khwa Falao.
14 Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kindred, euen threescore and fifteene soules.
U Yusufu akhavasuha avalukololwe ukhuluta khukhumbula uYakobo ubaba yevo in'che khu Misili, paninie navalukololwe, ekhikalo kya mwene vale avanu sabini na vahano.
15 So Iacob went downe into Egypt, and he dyed, and our fathers,
U Yakobo akhikhe khu Misili; akhafya paninwe nava baba yeto.
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.
Vakhatoliwa khu Shekemu vakhasyiliwa mulipumba eilwu udada yavo uAbrahamu agulile nii hela n'cho khuhuma khuvana va Hamori ukhuu khu Shekemu.
17 But when the time of the promise drewe neere, which God had sworne to Abraham, the people grewe and multiplied in Egypt,
Pa khasikhiei akha Unguluve aedihine nu Abrahamu vu ahegelile pa vanu, valikhwongelela khu Misili,
18 Till another King arose, which knewe not Ioseph.
usikhiei ugwa akhima undogon'chi uyunge khuu Misili, undogon'chi uvisa manyile uYusufu.
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.
Undogon'chi uyunge uywa akhavasiova avanu vito nukhuvavombela imbivi avadada yeto, nukhuvataga avana vavene avadebe valekhe ukhutama.
20 The same time was Moses borne, and was acceptable vnto God, which was nourished vp in his fathers house three moneths.
Khu sikhei ugwa uMose akhaholiwa; ale nonu pamiho ga Nguluve, akhaleliwa eimin'chi gedatu munyumba yadadaye.
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter tooke him vp, and nourished him for her owne sonne.
Usikhei uguatagine ung'echa vakhwa Falao akhatola akhagega nduu mwana va mwene.
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdome of the Egyptians, and was mightie in wordes and in deedes.
U Mose akhamanyeisiwa amafundisyo goni aga khu Misili; vu alina makha na mamenyu ni mbombo.
23 Nowe when he was full fourtie yeere olde, it came into his heart to visite his brethren, the children of Israel.
Vua fikhile eimiakha alubaini gakhamwin'chila amasage gakhu vagendele avalukololwe avanya Isilaeli.
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.
Vuambwene Umwisilaeli ivomba imbivi, uMose akhakolela eikhisa nukhuhomben'cha uvuvivi khwaula uviukhutova uva khu Misili:
25 For hee supposed his brethren would haue vnderstand, that God by his hande should giue them deliuerance: but they vnderstoode it not.
akhasaga ukhuta avalukololwe vikhuvumanya ukhuta Unguluve ukhuvapokha mukhivokho kya mwene, pakhuva savamanye.
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?
Eilin'chuya eilikongile akhaluta khuvanya Isilaeli avavatovanaga akhagela ukhuva sayaniwa; akhan'chova,' Vahego, Umue mulilokolo; mbona mwilwa yumwe khwa yumwe?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a prince, and a iudge ouer vs?
Ula uvaakoseminche ula uvivale paninwe akhakulugila khuvutali, nukhun'chova, 'Veni akhuvikhile uvetavala nukhuva eing'igi veto?
28 Wilt thou kill mee, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
Uve winogwa ukhumbuda nduvu kha mbudile uMisili pamuhe?”
29 Then fled Moses at that saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begate two sonnes.
U Mose akhakimbila vuapulikhe in'cho; akhava eigeni mukhilunga kya Midiani, akhava baba va vana vavilei.
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.
Vug'isilile ei mikha ulubaini usuhwa va Nguluve akhambonekhela mulukongu lwa kyamba kya Sinai, mukhiei situ mugati gukhwakha umwoto.
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,
Vu uMose alolile umwoto alikhunyomokha nukhukenyemukha khu khila ikhiei ikhukhivona, pu alikhuhegelela alole, eisavuti ya Nguluve eikhin'cha eikhan'chova,
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.
'Une nene Nguluve va baba vakho, Nguluve va Abrahamu, uIsakha, nu Yakobo'. U Mose alikhutetema nukhusita ukhulola.
33 Then the Lord said to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feete: for the place where thou standest, is holy ground.
Unguluve akhambula akhata, 'Fula ifilato apa upuwimile pavalan'che.
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.
Nelolile eisida ya vanu vango khu Misili; Nipulikhe ukhulamwa khwa vene, numwe mkhilenei vapolikhe; lino win'che, nikhukhusuha uve khu Misili.'
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.
Uyu uMose uvaabelile ukhuta veni akhuvikhile uve imbaha nukhuva indamun'chi veto?' viuyu Unguluve ambikhile ukhuva imbaha nuvuvupoli. Unguluve akhasuha khukhivokho kya suhwa uviang'umile uMose pakhisitu.
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.
U Mose akhavalongon'cha ukhuhuma khu Misili vu avombile ifiswigo vya khuswiga khu Misili na munyanja ya Shamu, na katika jangwa mukhasikhikha miakha alubaini.
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.
U Mose viuyu avavuule avanu va Isilaeli ukhuta, 'Unguluve ukhuve mikhila undogon'chi uyonge ukhuhuma mukhivumbukho kyenyo, undongon'chi ndune'.
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.
Uyu vei munu uviale pa khipuga nusuhwa mulukongu uvianchovile nave pa kyamba kya Sinai. Huyu ndiye mtu ambaye alikuwa na baba zetu, huyu ni mtu ambaye alipokea neno lililo hai na kutupatia sisi.
39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but refused, and in their hearts turned backe againe into Egypt:
Uyu vi munu uvi ale na vababa vito vabelile ukhumwedikha; vakhakulugila khuvutali, munumbula n'cha vene vakhasyetukhila khu Misili.
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.
Pu usikhi ugwa vakhambula uHaluni.'ukhuta ututengenesehen'che ei minguluve egywa khutulongon'cha. U Mose, uviakhatulongon'chaga khu Misili, satumanyile n'chi n'chi mbwene.'
41 And they made a calfe in those dayes, and offered sacrifice vnto the idole, and reioyced in the workes of their owne handes.
Vakhatengenesya eisenga isikhu in'cho puvakhahumya ne sadakha khuusenga iyo vakhahovoka pa mbombo n'cha mavokho gavene.
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?
Unguluve akhapindula akhavapa inondwa n'cha khukhianya, nduvulisimbiwe mkhitabu kya vanyamalago, 'Ye Mungumehin'che une einekhelo ya senga einchimuhinjile ndukungu musikhi ugwa myakha ulubaini, munyumba ya Isilaeli?
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.
Mweidikhe munyumba ya kwaganila nu Moleki ni nondwe n'cha minguluve gwa refani, nifihwani ifi mutengenisye nukhuisaya khu fiene: nikhuvahilekha khuvutali saidi yakhu Babeli.'
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.
Avababa yito vale ni nyumba yakhwaganila mundukungu, nduvu Unguluve avavulile avile an'chovile nu Mose, ukhuta akhale in'chega ndeikhihwani khila eikhi mukhakhiwene.
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:
Eiye yu nyumba uvu avababa vagegiwe nu Yosua. Eiye yahumile usikhi ugu vaingile khutavala khuvanu vavo Unguluve avasweimile vubadu avadada yeito. Eye yale ewo mupakha akhasikhe kha Davudi,
46 Who found fauour before God, and desired that hee might finde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
uyu vii akhavile uluhusa khumiho ga Nguluve akhadova khwa Nguluve uva Yakovo.
47 But Salomon built him an house.
U Selemani akhan'chengela enyumba ya Nguluve.
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with handes, as saith the Prophet,
Pakhuva uvialikhukianya sitama inyumba n'chi van'chengile namavokho; eye vinduvu an'chovile unyamalago,
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?
Khukyanya khigoda kyango kya vutwa, ne khilunga luvafu lwa khukanya amalunde gango. Nyumba yilindakhikhii eiyakhiva mukhunjengela?, in'chova Ubaba: ndapi apa khugatalukha?
50 Hath not mine hand made all these things?
Mavokho gango agavombile ifi vyoni?'
51 Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
Umwe mwei vanu mwiei vanya singo ng'afu umwei samnon'chiche inumbula nii mbulukhutu, kila misikhi mukhubela Umepo Umbalan'che,' mvomba nduvu vakha vombaga ava dada yenyo.
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,
Nyamalago veni uviava dada yenyo sivatesin'che? Vavabudile avanyamalago va badu sin'chile Umwene unya Leli,'na lino muvile vachova fivi nuvubudi khumwene,
53 Which haue receiued the Lawe by the ordinance of Angels, and haue not kept it.
umwe mwei vanu umwei mupokhile indagilo in'chilagililwe nusuhwa samukhun'chibata.”
54 But when they heard these thinges, their heartes brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
Puu avavaha va balasa vuvapulikhe imbombo in'chi n'chiikhavahoma inumbula n'cha vene vakhagwegwedulila amino uSitefani.
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,
Pakhuva umwene adigile Umepo Umbalan'che alolile khukianya vunonu nukhuvuvona uvu dwadwa wa Nguluve,' nukhumbona uYesu eimile eikhivokho ei kyandwo eikya Nguluve.
56 And said, Beholde, I see the heauens open, and the Sonne of man standing at the right hand of God.
U Sitefani akhan'chova, “Niluwene uludeva ludindwikhe, nu Mwana va Nguluve eimile eikhivokho kyandwo kya Nguluve.”
57 Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ranne vpon him violently all at once,
Puu avavaha va ndagilo vakhaywega nukhudinda imbulukhutu vakhanyalila pupaninie,
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.
vakhan'taga khunji nukhutova na mawe: navasaidi vakhafula eimienda gwa vene eigwa khunji vakhavikha pasi pamalonde ga Savuli.
59 And they stoned Steuen, who called on God, and said, Lord Iesus, receiue my spirit.
Vuvitova na mawe khuva Sitefani, akhendelela ukhwiimwilanga Udaada nukhun'chova, “Uvii vi Yesu, upila ei numbula yango,”.
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.
Akhafugama nukhwilanga khu savuti eimbaha, “Baaba, usite ukhuvavalilei inongwa eiyee. “Vu an'chovile n'chi, akhafywa.
