Acts 7
1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
Utekhen'chi umbaha akhachova imbombo in'chin'cha leli”?
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,
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 to him, Depart from thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.
uhege mukilunga kyakho navalukololo ulutage khukhilunga eikhi ya khiva mkhokhovonesya'.
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.
Puu akhahege mukilunga kya Ukaludayo alukhutama khu Halani, ukhuhuma apo, ubaba va mwene vu afuile, Unguluve akhandeta mukhilunga eikhii eikhi vitama lino.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Nu Nguluve akhata nihega ikhilunga eikhi yakhuva khikhuvavikha vatumwa, pakhuva vihega nukhuiei saya uluvalu ulu.'
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.
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 patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
Avakukhu yetu vakhamboneha uwifu uYusufu vakhagucha khu Misili, nu Nguluve akhava paninee nave,
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.
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 Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and 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 Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
Pu uYakobo vuapulikhe ukhuta khuli kyakhulwa khu Misili, akhavasuha ava baba veto ututan'chi.
13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known to Pharaoh.
Ulwavile uYusufu akhivonesya khuva lukololwe eikhivumbukho kya Yusufu khikhamanyikha khwa Falao.
14 Then Joseph sent, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy and five souls.
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 Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
U Yakobo akhikhe khu Misili; akhafya paninwe nava baba yeto.
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.
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 drew near, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Pa khasikhiei akha Unguluve aedihine nu Abrahamu vu ahegelile pa vanu, valikhwongelela khu Misili,
18 Till another king arose, who knew not Joseph.
usikhiei ugwa akhima undogon'chi uyunge khuu Misili, undogon'chi uvisa manyile uYusufu.
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.
Undogon'chi uyunge uywa akhavasiova avanu vito nukhuvavombela imbivi avadada yeto, nukhuvataga avana vavene avadebe valekhe ukhutama.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished in his father’s house three months:
Khu sikhei ugwa uMose akhaholiwa; ale nonu pamiho ga Nguluve, akhaleliwa eimin'chi gedatu munyumba yadadaye.
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
Usikhei uguatagine ung'echa vakhwa Falao akhatola akhagega nduu mwana va mwene.
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
U Mose akhamanyeisiwa amafundisyo goni aga khu Misili; vu alina makha na mamenyu ni mbombo.
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
Vua fikhile eimiakha alubaini gakhamwin'chila amasage gakhu vagendele avalukololwe avanya Isilaeli.
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
Vuambwene Umwisilaeli ivomba imbivi, uMose akhakolela eikhisa nukhuhomben'cha uvuvivi khwaula uviukhutova uva khu Misili:
25 For he supposed his brethren to understand that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
akhasaga ukhuta avalukololwe vikhuvumanya ukhuta Unguluve ukhuvapokha mukhivokho kya mwene, pakhuva savamanye.
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?
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 ruler and a judge over us?
Ula uvaakoseminche ula uvivale paninwe akhakulugila khuvutali, nukhun'chova, 'Veni akhuvikhile uvetavala nukhuva eing'igi veto?
28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst the Egyptian yesterday?
Uve winogwa ukhumbuda nduvu kha mbudile uMisili pamuhe?”
29 Then Moses fled at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
U Mose akhakimbila vuapulikhe in'cho; akhava eigeni mukhilunga kya Midiani, akhava baba va vana vavilei.
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.
Vug'isilile ei mikha ulubaini usuhwa va Nguluve akhambonekhela mulukongu lwa kyamba kya Sinai, mukhiei situ mugati gukhwakha umwoto.
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,
Vu uMose alolile umwoto alikhunyomokha nukhukenyemukha khu khila ikhiei ikhukhivona, pu alikhuhegelela alole, eisavuti ya Nguluve eikhin'cha eikhan'chova,
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.
'Une nene Nguluve va baba vakho, Nguluve va Abrahamu, uIsakha, nu Yakobo'. U Mose alikhutetema nukhusita ukhulola.
33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
Unguluve akhambula akhata, 'Fula ifilato apa upuwimile pavalan'che.
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.
Nelolile eisida ya vanu vango khu Misili; Nipulikhe ukhulamwa khwa vene, numwe mkhilenei vapolikhe; lino win'che, nikhukhusuha uve khu Misili.'
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.
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 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.
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, 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.
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 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:
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 Whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
Uyu vi munu uvi ale na vababa vito vabelile ukhumwedikha; vakhakulugila khuvutali, munumbula n'cha vene vakhasyetukhila khu Misili.
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.
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 calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Vakhatengenesya eisenga isikhu in'cho puvakhahumya ne sadakha khuusenga iyo vakhahovoka pa mbombo n'cha mavokho gavene.
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?
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 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.
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 testimony in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
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 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;
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 favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
uyu vii akhavile uluhusa khumiho ga Nguluve akhadova khwa Nguluve uva Yakovo.
47 But Solomon built for him an house.
U Selemani akhan'chengela enyumba ya Nguluve.
48 Yet the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Pakhuva uvialikhukianya sitama inyumba n'chi van'chengile namavokho; eye vinduvu an'chovile unyamalago,
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?
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 my hand made all these things?
Mavokho gango agavombile ifi vyoni?'
51 Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.
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 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:
Nyamalago veni uviava dada yenyo sivatesin'che? Vavabudile avanyamalago va badu sin'chile Umwene unya Leli,'na lino muvile vachova fivi nuvubudi khumwene,
53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
umwe mwei vanu umwei mupokhile indagilo in'chilagililwe nusuhwa samukhun'chibata.”
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on 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 Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on 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, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
U Sitefani akhan'chova, “Niluwene uludeva ludindwikhe, nu Mwana va Nguluve eimile eikhivokho kyandwo kya Nguluve.”
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
Puu avavaha va ndagilo vakhaywega nukhudinda imbulukhutu vakhanyalila pupaninie,
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.
vakhan'taga khunji nukhutova na mawe: navasaidi vakhafula eimienda gwa vene eigwa khunji vakhavikha pasi pamalonde ga Savuli.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Vuvitova na mawe khuva Sitefani, akhendelela ukhwiimwilanga Udaada nukhun'chova, “Uvii vi Yesu, upila ei numbula yango,”.
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.
Akhafugama nukhwilanga khu savuti eimbaha, “Baaba, usite ukhuvavalilei inongwa eiyee. “Vu an'chovile n'chi, akhafywa.
