Acts 7
1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
Hoe i talèm-pisoroñey: To v’zao?
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,
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, Depart from thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.
le nanoa’e ty hoe: Misitaha an-tane’o naho an-drolongo’o, mimoaha an-tane hatoroko azo.
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.
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 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.
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 izay.
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.
Hoe ty nitsaran’ Añahare, t’ie: Ho renetane an-tanen’ ambahiny o tarira’eo, naho hondevozeñe, vaho ho volevolèñe efa-jato taoñe.
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.
Fe ho zakaeko ze tane mañondevo iareo, hoe t’i Andrianañahare, ie añe, le hiavotse iereo, hitoroñe ahy ami’ty toetse toy.
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.
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 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but 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 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.
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 there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
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 first.
Ie jinanji’ Iakobe te aman-tsako ty Egipte, le nampihitrife’e mb’eo o roaentikañeo amy valoha’ey.
13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made 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 called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy and five souls.
Aa le nampisangitrife’ Iosefe t’Iakobe rae’e naho o longo’eo, i fitom-polo-lime amby rey.
15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
Le nañavelo mb’e Egipte mb’eo t’Iakobe vaho nihomake, ie naho o roaentikañeo,
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.
le nasese mb’e Sekema añe, ie nirohoteñe amy lonake vinili’ i Abraàme drala amo ana’ i Hamora nte Sekemaio.
17 But when the time of the promise drew near, which God had sworn 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 Till another king arose, who knew not Joseph.
Loneak’amy zao ty mpanjaka hifehe i Egipte tsy nahafohiñe Iosefe.
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.
Ie ty nañaramamo ondatin-tikañeo am-pamañahiañe naho famorekekeañe, naho nampiboake o ajajamena’ iareoo tsy hahatam-beloñe.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished in his father’s house three months:
Toly henane zay t’i Mosè, le nisoa vintañe am-pivazohoan’ Añahare, vaho nitaiàñe telo volañe an-trañon-drae’e ao.
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
Aa ie niotañe, rinambe’ ty anak’ ampela’ i Farao naho nibeize’e ho ana’e,
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
le naòke amy ze hene hilala’ o nte Egipteo t’i Mosè vaho ni-fanalolahy an-tsara naho fitoloñañe.
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren 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 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote 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 For he supposed his brethren to understand that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
Natao’e ho rendre’o longo’eo ty fandrombahan’ Añahare am-pità’e, f’ie tsy nahafohiñe.
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?
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 that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee 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 Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst the Egyptian yesterday?
Hamono ahy v’iheo, hambañe amy nanoa’o i nte Egipte omaley?
29 Then Moses fled at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
Ty amy entañe zay, nitriban-day t’i Mosè naho nirenetane e Midiana añe vaho nisamak’ anadahy roe.
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.
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: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came to him,
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 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.
Izaho o Andrianañaharen-droae’ areoo, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Abraàme, naho Isaka vaho Iakobe. Aa le ninevenevetse t’i Mosè tsy nahavany niisake.
33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
Le hoe t’ Iehovà tama’e: Afaho o hana am-pandia’oo fa masiñe o toetse ijohaña’oo.
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.
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 irehe.
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.
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 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.
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, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you of your brethren, like me; him shall ye hear.
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, 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:
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 Whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
Fe, nizeharen-droaentika naho nasiotsio’ iareo, vaho nitolike mb’Egipte ty arofo’ iareo
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.
le nanao ty hoe amy Arone: Andranjio ndrañahare hiaolo anay, f’i Mosè nañavotse anay añ’Egipte izay, amoea’ay ty nizò aze!
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Nitsene bania iereo henane zay naho nibanabana soroñe amy sarey, vaho nirebek’ amy sata-pità’ iareoy.
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?
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 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.
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 testimony in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion 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 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;
Le nampizilihe’ o roae’ay nandrambe azeo izay mindre amy Josoa, ie tinava’ iareo amo kilakila’ ndaty nasiotsion’ Añahare aolon-dahara’ iareoo i Taney; ie izay ampara’ i Davide;
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
ie nanjò fañisohañe añatrefan’ Añahare, le nihalaly ty hahaoniña’e toetse himoneñan’ Añahare’ Iakobe.
47 But Solomon built for him an house.
Fe i Selomò ty nandranjy anjomba ho aze.
48 Yet the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Toe tsy miambesatse ami’ty nanoem-pitàñe t’i Andindimoneñe, amy tsara’ i mpitokiy:
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?
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 Hath not my hand made all these things?
Tsy ty tañako hao ty nanao ze he’e zao?
51 Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.
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 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:
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 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
iereo fa nandrambe i Hake nafè’ o anjelioy, f’ie tsy nambenañe.
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
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 said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Heheke, hoe re, Treako te misokake o likerañeo vaho mijohañe ampitàn-kavanan’ Añahare eo i Ana’ondatiy.
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
F’ie nipoña-koràke, nanentsen-dravembia vaho fonga nitrao-pañoridañe aze,
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.
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 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Ie nitolom-pametsam-bato amy Stefana, le nikaihe’e ty hoe: Ry Iesoà Talè, rambeso ty troko.
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.
Ie tafatongaleke, le pinaza’e am-piarañanañañe ty hoe: O Talè, ko tiñea’o am’iareo ty hakeo toy. Ie nanao izay le nirotse.
