Acts 7
1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
Ugosi we shibhanza waga,”ezi enongwa zye lyoli”?
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 Stefano wagamula waga, “Bhaholo bhane na bhaise bhane ntejelezi zyeyanga: Ungulubhi yabhunishie uise wetu u Ibulahimu nahali hu Mesopotamia, sasele asamile ensi ene eye hu Harani,'
3 And said to him, Depart from thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.
Ungulubhi ahabhuula ahagu epa awe munsi ene usame ubhale hunsi yembahulanje'.
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.
Wasogola wasama hunsi ya Hukardayo wakhala hu Harani, afume epo, uise wakwe nawafwiwa, Ungulubhi waleta munsi ene yabhakhala eshi.
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.
Sigapiya nahamo ahagale, siga alinapo ata pibhishe eshinama. Lelo Ungulubhi alaginye u Ibulahimu sasele apate umwana huje aipelwa ensi ene aje aiigala nabhana bhakwe.
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.
Ungulubhi ayanjile nawo eshi abhana bhaho hunsi eyeshijinyi na akhaya bhaibhabhiha bhaboyi bhabho(bhafubhilwa) nantele bhaibhabhomba embibhi humahaemia zine 400.
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.
Ungulubhi ahaga naibhalonga abhantu bhabhaibhabhombela embibhi abhe ensi eyo, abhantu bhane naibhagalusya bhayenza ampuute ane munsi ene.'
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.
Wapela uIbulahimu ilagano lye tohara, u Ibulahimu wabha ise wa Isaka watahiri isiku elya nane; u Isaka wabha ise wa Yakobo, uYakobo wabha yise wa yise bhetu ilongo na bhabhili.
9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
Aise bhetu bhalolela ukero(umwone) uYusufu bhakazya hu Misri, Ungulubhi ali pandwimo nawo,
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.
ungulubhi aponizye na malabha gonti, Ungulubhi wapela ineema, ne hekima hwa Farao, uFarao wabhiha aje abhe gosi munsi yonti na munyumba yakwe.
11 Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
Enzala ihagwiye hunsi yonti eya hu Misri ba hu Kanani, abhantu bhapiite amalabha sana abhaise bhetu sebhali neshalye.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
U Yakobo nawumvwa huje hu Misri, hulineshalye, abhatumile aise bhetu ulwahwande.
13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known to Pharaoh.
Nabhabhalile ulwabhili uYusufu ahwibhonisizya hwa holo bhake aholo bha Yusufu bhamanyiha hwa Farao.
14 Then Joseph sent, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy and five souls.
O Yusufu wabhatuma aholo bhakwe bhabhale humweje uise wabho na bhanji bhakhalaga nabho bhonti bhaali amalongo saba na bhasanu 75.
15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
U Yakobo wiha hunsi ya hu Misri, umwene wafwa naise bhetu bonti.
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.
Bhabhega mpaka hushekemu bhasyelwa munkungwa yakalile uIburahimu ne hela hwa bhana bha Hamori hula hu Shekemu.
17 But when the time of the promise drew near, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Ululagano lula Ungulubhi lwalaginne nu Ibulahimu na lwapalamila, abhantu nabhonjelela uwinji hula hu Misri,
18 Till another king arose, who knew not Joseph.
aheenza umfumu uwamwabho hu Misri, abhasuliha abhantu aje bhabhavitwe abha Israeli, nabude abhaana adodo aje bhasahonjelele apapane.
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.
Umfumu uyo abhakhopela abhantu nabhasulishe, bhabhabhombile embibhi aise bhetu nataje abhana bhabho aje bhasahabhe bhoomi.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished in his father’s house three months:
Ulwo uMusa aapepwe; ali mwinza hwa Ngulubhi, walelwa amezi gatatu muntumba ya ise.
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
Unyina watabhila ahatundu wazyema ne lami wabhala wataga umwale wa Farao wabhala watola walela neshi unyina.
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
U Musa wafundiziwa enfunizyo zyonti ezyeshi Misri; ali nikhone munongwa na bhombe.
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
Nawafisya amaha amalongo gane, wasiibha humwoyo aje ashuule hwa holo bhakwe abhana bha Israeli.
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
Walola uholo wakwe abhone lwa nu Mmisri watanjila wakhoma ula Umsri wabuda:
25 For he supposed his brethren to understand that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
umwene asibhile huje aholo bhakwe bhabhaje ayinzele atokole Ungulubhi atumile fwanii aholo bhakwe sebhasibhile isho.
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?
Isiku ilya mwabho wabhaga abha Israeli bhalwa bheene; walenga abhamulanye waga amwe mulibhaholo yeenu mulwa mubhene?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Ulayalwanga nuwamwabho wabunshila hula wabhuula waga wenu yabhishile awe aje ubhe tanzanyi wetu?
28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst the Egyptian yesterday?
Uhwanzaje ungoje neshi uhagojile Ummisri ula igamo?”
29 Then Moses fled at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
U Musa washimbila ahwumvwe isho; wabhala hu Midiani, uhwo wabha yise wa bhana bhabhili.
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.
Amaha amalongo gane nagashila, umalaika ahajendela hwijangwa mwatatango hahahaga 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,
U Musa ahaswiga ajawalola atatango hahwaha umwoto, lelo sehalungulila, nawalinga ahazubhilile, wumvwa izu liyanga,
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.
'Ane ne Ngulubhi wa yise bhaho, uIbulahimu, nu Isaka, nu Yakobo'. U Musa wogopa nayinje se hwenye.
33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
Ungulubhi wabhuula waga satula evilato vyaho, puyimiliye epa nsintuntumu.
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.
Engalolile amalabha gabhantu bhane na mayemba gabhali nago hu Misri; Ane enishile abhavwe; eshi enza etume, ubhale hu Misri.'
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.
Unu uMusa yabhakhine yabhajile wenu yabhishile awe ubhe gamulanyi wetu?'- Ungulubhi yatumile abhookole afumiye mumwoto atatango nahahahaga.
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 Musa abhalongozizye afume hu Misri ashilile hwijangwa Ungulubhi abhombile amambo minji agaswijizye hu Misri ashilile hwa Musa bhalobhoshe ebahari abhalongozizye humaha amalongo nane'.
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.
Yu Musa yunu yabhabhuulile abhantu huje Ungulubhi aibhaletela ukuwe yali neshane afume hulimwe'.
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:
Unu muntu yaali hubhungano, hula hwijangwa nu malaika yayanjile nawo hwigamba lya Sinai. Unu yayula yaali na ise bhetu, unu yayula ahe eleye izu elyomi natipele ate.
39 Whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
Unu yayula aise bhetu bhahakhanile, bhabunshiye uhutali na humoyo gabho bhagalushe hu Misri.
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.
Eshipindi esho bhahabhuula u Haruni.'bhahaga tilenganyizye ungulubhi(mangulubhi) atilongozye uMusa manyi zyazimwajile uhwo.
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
Bhagomba(bhalinganya) endama hunsiku izyo bhafumyia ne sadaka hundama bhaisungwa embombo ye makhono gabho.
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?
Ungulubhi ahavitwa ahabhaleha bhapuute entondwe sazyasimbilwe eshakuwe aje mwamfumizizye ane esadaka ezyevyuma hwijangwa humaha amalongo gane amwe bha Israeli?
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.
Muyetesha ihema elyatanganile elya Moleki ne ntondwa ya Ungulubhi refani, ne shifwani shamulingenye na puute hwa bhene: eshi embabhabhenje embabhatwale ohutali ashile hu 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.
Aise bhetu bhaali ni hema elyatanganile, Ungulubhi shayanjile nu Musa huje alenganye neshi lila shalilolile.
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;
Eli lihema aise bhetu, ojoshwa pabhaletaga ensi ene Ungulubhi pabhabhenjele akhaya aise bhetu sabhasile ahwinze ensi ene ezi zya esho mpaka ensiku ezya Daudi,
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
umwene ahetehwe nu Ngulubhi,' na alabhile ahwanze ukkhalo hwa Ngulubhi wa Yakobo.
47 But Solomon built for him an house.
Lelo u Sulemani azenjeye Ungulubhi enyumba.
48 Yet the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Eshi umwene Ungulubhi sigaakha munyumba zyazizengwilwe namakhono neshi ukuwezya yanjile,
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?
Emwanya litengo lyane elye ufumu na ensi pabhishe amanama gane. Mubhanzenjele nyumba wili?, ayanga Ungulubhi: na apatuye ane paposhi?'
50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
Ukhono gwane segwagwogu gwabhombile ezi zyonti?'
51 Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Amwe mubhensingo ehome mwasigamtahiliwe amoyo na makutu, mwamuhupinga Umpepo Ufinjile,' mubhomba neshi shabhabhombaga aise benyu.
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:
Kuwe wili hwa kuwe bhonti aise bhenyu bhasiga bhabhatesile? Bhabhabudile akuwe bhonti bhabhakuwaga ahwenze hwa ula Umuntu Umwinza,'neshi mulumenye na hubude,
53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
amwe mwamwaposhiye esheria ela yamwalajiziwe nantele semwahanzaga aikhate.”
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
Ajumbe nabhonvwa enongwa ezyo zyabhavwalazya humwoyo bhamwenya eshibhibhi e Stefano.
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,
Lelo umwene, uStefano abhe amemile Umpepo Ufinjile wenya amaso gakwe humwanya waulola utuntumu wa Ngulubhi,' nu Yesu akhiye hukhono ulilo gwa Ngulubhi.
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
U Stefano waga, “Enzilola emwanya zigushe nu Yesu ayimiliye hukhono ulilo gwa Ngulubhi.”
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
Lelo abhantu abhi baraza bhabwaga ibwago, igosi bhadinda amakutu gabho bhashimbilila bhakhata,
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.
bhapanya hwunzi ye khaya bhakhoma na mawe” naketi bhasatula amenda gabho bhabhiha pamanama gasahala umo itawa yu Sauli.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Nabhahwendelela ahupuule na mawe umwene wenya amaso gakwe humwanya waga Yesu, ejelela eroho yane,'.
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.
Wafugamila wakwizya hwizu igosi waga gosi wane Yesu usabhabhazizye embibhi ezi zyabhabhomba. “Nawayanga isho wapuma wafwa.
