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, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
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 country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show 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 from the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Haran: and from there, when his father was dead, 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 And he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when as yet he had 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 spoke in this way, That his offspring should sojourn in a foreign land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and oppress 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 the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that they shall come forth, and serve 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 so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat 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, moved with envy, 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 from all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
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 Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no 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 when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he 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, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy and 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, 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 over into Shechem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Shechem.
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 when the time of the promise drew near, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew 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.
Joseph a he ngawl a dang kumpi khat hong khan dong in pung uh hi.
19 The same dealt treacherously with our kindred, and oppressed our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
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, and was exceeding fair, and nourished in his father’s house three months:
Tua hun in Moses suak a, ama sia hoi mama hi, taciang a pa inn ah tha thum sung ki vak hi:
21 And when he was cast out, 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 learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and 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 suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
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 For he supposed his brethren to understand that God by his hand would deliver them: 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 showed himself to them as they were fighting, and would have constrained them to be at peace again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to 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 did his neighbour wrong 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 didst the Egyptian yesterday?
Zei ni Egypt pa na thalup bang in hong that nuam ni ziam? ci hi.
29 Then Moses fled at this saying, and was a stranger 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 had passed, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai 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 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came 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. Then Moses trembled, and dared not behold.
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 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where 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, I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, 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? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
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 He brought them out, after he had showed 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 to the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you of your brethren, like 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, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the living oracles to give to 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 Whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again 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 for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
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 they made a calf in those days, 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, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices for 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 Molech, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: 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 Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
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 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Joshua into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David;
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 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle 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 for him an house.
Ahihang Solomon in Pathian atu in inn sa hi.
48 Yet the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
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 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 have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them who showed before of the coming of the Just 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 have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
Vantungmi te i hu na taw thukham na sang uh a, na zui bua uh hi, ci hi.
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
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 steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on 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 said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on 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 a young man’s feet, 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 he kneeled down, and 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.
