Acts 7
1 The high priest said, "Are these things so?"
Hoe i talèm-pisoroñey: To v’zao?
2 He said, "Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
Hoe t’i Stefana: Ry longo, naho ry aba, Inao! Ie mbe te Mesopotamia añe taolo’ te nimoneñe e Haraña t’i Abraàme raen-tikañe le niheo ama’e t’i Andrianañahare Rengèñey,
3 and said to him, 'Go out from your land and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.'
le nanoa’e ty hoe: Misitaha an-tane’o naho an-drolongo’o, mimoaha an-tane hatoroko azo.
4 Then he came out of the land of the Kasdim, and lived in Haran. From there, after his father died, he moved him into this land, where you are now living.
Aa le niakats’ i tane Kaldea añe re nivotrake e Harane. Ie añe, naho fa vilasy ty rae’e, le nampiavote’e homb’an-tane fimoneña’ areo atoy henaneo.
5 He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him, when he still had no child.
Fe tsy nimea’e lova ama’e, ndra ty tane handiam-pandia’e, ie mbetsiterake, le nampitama’e te hatolots’aze naho amo tarira’e hanonjohy azeo ho fanañañe zay.
6 But God spoke in this way, 'His descendants will live as strangers in a foreign land, and that they will be slaves and mistreated, for four hundred years.
Hoe ty nitsaran’ Añahare, t’ie: Ho renetane an-tanen’ ambahiny o tarira’eo, naho hondevozeñe, vaho ho volevolèñe efa-jato taoñe.
7 But I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,' said God, 'and after that will they come out, and serve me in this place.'
Fe ho zakaeko ze tane mañondevo iareo, hoe t’i Andrianañahare, ie añe, le hiavotse iereo, hitoroñe ahy ami’ty toetse toy.
8 He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
Le natolo’e aze ty fañinam-pisavarañe naho nisamake Isaka re le nisavare’e ami’ty andro fahavalo, naho nisamake Iakobe t’Isaka vaho i androanavy folo ro’amby rey t’Iakobe.
9 "The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt; and God was with him,
Ie nikirañe Iosefe i androanavy rey, le naleta’ iereo ho ondevo Egipte añe. Fe tama’e t’i Andrianañahare
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
nandrombak’ aze amy ze fonga haoreañe naho tinolo’e hihitse naho fañisohañe añatrefa’ i Farao mpanjaka’ i Egipte le nanoe’e mpamandroñe hifehe i Egipte vaho o añ’ anjomba’e iabio.
11 Now a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no food.
Nandramban-tane Egipte naho Kanana amy zao ty san-kasalikoañe vaho ty hasotriam-bey le tsy nahaoniñe mahakama o roaentikañeo.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
Ie jinanji’ Iakobe te aman-tsako ty Egipte, le nampihitrife’e mb’eo o roaentikañeo amy valoha’ey.
13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
Ie amy faha roey le nampahafohim-batañ’ amo rahalahi’eo t’Iosefe vaho nampandrendreheñe i Farao o longo’ Iosefeo.
14 Then Joseph sent, and summoned Jacob, his father, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
Aa le nampisangitrife’ Iosefe t’Iakobe rae’e naho o longo’eo, i fitom-polo-lime amby rey.
15 Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, himself and our fathers,
Le nañavelo mb’e Egipte mb’eo t’Iakobe vaho nihomake, ie naho o roaentikañeo,
16 and they were brought back to Shechem, and placed in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor in Shechem.
le nasese mb’e Sekema añe, ie nirohoteñe amy lonake vinili’ i Abraàme drala amo ana’ i Hamora nte Sekemaio.
17 "But as the time of the promise came close which God had made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Aa naho fa an-titotse ty andro nampitaman’ Añahare i nifantà’e amy Abraàmey, le nitombo naho nangetseketseke Egipte añe ondatio.
18 until 'there arose a different king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.'
Loneak’amy zao ty mpanjaka hifehe i Egipte tsy nahafohiñe Iosefe.
19 The same took advantage of our race, and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to throw out their babies, so that they would not stay alive.
Ie ty nañaramamo ondatin-tikañeo am-pamañahiañe naho famorekekeañe, naho nampiboake o ajajamena’ iareoo tsy hahatam-beloñe.
20 At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father's house.
Toly henane zay t’i Mosè, le nisoa vintañe am-pivazohoan’ Añahare, vaho nitaiàñe telo volañe an-trañon-drae’e ao.
21 When he was thrown out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.
Aa ie niotañe, rinambe’ ty anak’ ampela’ i Farao naho nibeize’e ho ana’e,
22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
le naòke amy ze hene hilala’ o nte Egipteo t’i Mosè vaho ni-fanalolahy an-tsara naho fitoloñañe.
23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
Ie fa ho efa-polo taoñe t’i Mosè, le niheo añ’arofo’e ty hitilike o longo’e ana’ Israeleo.
24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
Ie nioni’e te nisamporeraheñe tsy aman-tali’e ty raike, le nañolots’ aze, namale fate i niforekekeñey vaho nañoho-doza amy nte-Egiptey.
25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they did not understand.
Natao’e ho rendre’o longo’eo ty fandrombahan’ Añahare am-pità’e, f’ie tsy nahafohiñe.
26 "The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, 'Men, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?'
Ie niloakandro, niheo am’iereo mb’eo re nanjo ty nifandrapak’ aly, le nimanea’e fifampilongoañe ami’ty hoe: O lahireo, mpiroahalahy nahareoo; Akore te mifampijoy?
27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
Fe nanafasiotse aze i namofoke i rañe’eiy, nanao ty hoe: Ia ty nañory azo ho mpifehe naho mpizaka anay?
28 Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'
Hamono ahy v’iheo, hambañe amy nanoa’o i nte Egipte omaley?
29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
Ty amy entañe zay, nitriban-day t’i Mosè naho nirenetane e Midiana añe vaho nisamak’ anadahy roe.
30 "When forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
Ie nimodo ty efa-polo taoñe, le nisodehañe ama’e an-dratraratram-bohi-Sinaiy añe ty anjeli’ Iehovà ami’ty lel’afo an-drongoñe.
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came,
Ie nioni’ i Mosè zay le hinarahara’e i nizoeñey; le nañarivoa’e hahaisake vaho nivovo ama’e ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
32 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob.' Moses trembled, and dared not look.
Zaho o Andrianañaharen-droae’ areoo, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Abraàme, naho Isaka vaho Iakobe. Aa le ninevenevetse t’i Mosè tsy nahavany niisake.
33 The Lord said to him, 'Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
Le hoe t’ Iehovà tama’e: Afaho o hana am-pandia’oo fa masiñe o toetse ijohaña’oo.
34 I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you to Egypt.'
Toe niisako ty falovilovia’ ondatiko e Egipt’aoo, naho tsinanoko ty toreo’ iareo vaho nizotso hañaha iareo. Antao arè, fa hahitriko mb’e Egipte mb’eo rehe.
35 "This Moses, whom they refused, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?'—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
Fe kiniho’iareo ami’ty hoe t’i Mosè: Ia ty nañory azo ho mpifehe naho mpizaka anay? Ie ty nafanton’ Añahare ampità’ i anjely niboak’ ama’e amy rongoñeiy ho mpifehe naho mpandrombake iareo.
36 This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
Indatiy ty nampiavotse iareo naho nanao halatsàñe naho viloñe tsi-tantane Egipte ao naho amy Riake Menay vaho am-patrambey ao efa-polo taoñe.
37 This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, 'God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me.'
Ie i Mosè nitaroñe amo nte-Israeleo ty hoe: Hampitroaren’ Añahare ho anahareo ty mpitoky hambañe amako boak’amo longo’ areoo.
38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received words of life to give to us,
Ie ty nitraok’ amy anjeliy amy fivori-bey am-patram-bey añey, niharo amy anjely nisaontsy ama’e am-bohi-Sinaiy vaho taman-droaentikañe; ie ty nandrambe o fetse veloñe nitaroña’e aman-tikañeo.
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
Fe, nizeharen-droaentika naho nasiotsio’ iareo, vaho nitolike mb’Egipte ty arofo’ iareo
40 saying to Aaron, 'Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'
le nanao ty hoe amy Arone: Andranjio ndrañahare hiaolo anay, f’i Mosè nañavotse anay añ’Egipte zay, amoea’ay ty nizò aze!
41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
Nitsene bania iereo henane zay naho nibanabana soroñe amy sarey, vaho nirebek’ amy sata-pità’ iareoy.
42 But God turned, and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets, 'Did you offer to me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Aa le niambohoan’ Añahare naho nitolora’e ty hitoroñe i fifamorohotan-dindìñey, ie pinatetse amy bokem-pitokiy: O ry anjomba’ Israeleo, nañenga biby linenta vaho soroñe amako efa-polo taoñe am-patram-bey añe v’inahareo?
43 You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship them. Therefore I will exile you beyond Babylon.'
Te mone nitarazoe’ areo ty kivoho’ i Moloka, naho ty vasia’ i Refane ndrañahare’areoy, o samposampon-draha namboare’ areo ho fitalahoañeo. Aa le haseseko mb’an-kalo’ i Bavele añe nahareo.
44 "Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
Taman-droaen-tikañe an-dratraratra añe i kivohom-pitaroñañey, namboareñe do’e amy nisaontsie’e amy Mosèy te hamboare’e hamban-tsata amy niisa’ey.
45 which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David,
Le nampizilihe’ o roae’ay nandrambe azeo zay mindre amy Josoa, ie tinava’ iareo amo kilakila’ ndaty nasiotsion’ Añahare aolon-dahara’ iareoo i Taney; ie zay ampara’ i Davide;
46 who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
ie nanjò fañisohañe añatrefan’ Añahare, le nihalaly ty hahaoniña’e toetse himoneñan’ Añahare’ Iakobe.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Fe i Selomò ty nandranjy anjomba ho aze.
48 However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
Toe tsy miambesatse ami’ty nanoem-pitàñe t’i Andindimoneñe, amy tsara’ i mpitokiy:
49 'Heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?' says the Lord; 'or what is the place of my rest?
Fitobohako i likerañey, fitongoàn-tomboko ty tane toy. anjomba manakore arè ty ho ranjie’ areo ho ahiko? Hoe t’Iehovà. Ke, aia ty toetse hitofàko?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?'
Tsy ty tañako hao ty nanao ze he’e zao?
51 "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so you do.
Ry gan-katoke tsy sinavatse añ’arofo ndra an-dravembia. Zehare’ areo nainai’e i Arofo Masiñey manahak’ an-droae’ areo avao.
52 Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.
Ia amo mpitokio ty tsy nisamporerahen-droae’ areo? Nañohofa’ iareo loza o nitoky ty fitotsaha’ i Vañoñeio, i nafote’ areo naho vinono’ areo anianiy;
53 You received the Law as it was ordained by angels, and did not keep it."
iereo fa nandrambe i Hake nafè’ o anjelioy, f’ie tsy nambenañe.
54 Now when they heard these things, they were furious, and they ground their teeth at him.
Ie jinanji’iereo i hoe zay, le niromotse añ’arofo vaho nampikodrì-nife.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God.
Ie ka, lifotse i Arofo Masiñey, niandrandra nitalake i likerañey vaho nahaisake ty engen’ Añahare naho Iesoà nijohañe am-pitàn-kavanan’ Añahare ey.
56 And he said, "Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
Heheke, hoe re, Treako te misokake o likerañeo vaho mijohañe ampitàn-kavanan’ Añahare eo i Ana’ondatiy.
57 But they shouted out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.
F’ie nipoña-koràke, nanentsen-dravembia vaho fonga nitrao-pañoridañe aze,
58 They threw him out of the city, and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
le naronjeronje’ iareo alafe’ i rovay, naho nametsa-bato ama’e vaho napo’ o valolombeloñeo an-tombo’ ty dogalahy atao Saole eo o sarimbo’ iareoo.
59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
Ie nitolom-pametsam-bato amy Stefana, le nikaihe’e ty hoe: Ry Iesoà Talè, rambeso ty troko.
60 He kneeled down, and shouted out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.
Ie tafatongaleke, le pinaza’e am-piarañanañañe ty hoe: O Talè, ko tiñea’o am’iareo ty hakeo toy. Ie nanao zay le nirotse.
