Katuma 7
1 Una katuma ka dandang ma gu ka dundure kani.
The high priest said, "Are these things so?"
2 Istifanus ma gu a henu nan a ka co kunnanime aco uni nonzo ma kem aco aru Ibrahim anyumu a Misopotamiya otuba ticukum u hara.
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,
3 Ma gu imme ceki ma nyanga ma we me nan nanu henu uwe me, hana a manyangamage sa indi bezi we.
and said to him, 'Go out from your land and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.'
4 Monno ma ceki manyanga mu kaldiya ma cukuno u haran, ba abim me sa a co me ma wi, Asere a e imme a nyimo a manyanga mageme sa inci kin.
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.
5 Ma nyari unga umeme nyania hira a indai barki ukalum, ko a hira sa madi inki ubuna. se ma inki tize, u zatu u kem u vana u ibrahim dati.
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.
6 Asere ma boo me a nime barki wadi chukuno a ma nyanga ma soh nan a na a hira me wadi wu wa ziti ti we esoh inaze.
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.
7 ''In di hungu ko titui ta nu age sa wadi wu we a ni rere me,'' ingi asere, Inna dumo me wadi eh wa wu zim niru a banna me.
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.'
8 Ma kuri ma nya Ibrahim in inko u tize tini gbari Ibrahim ma yoh Ishayu ma gbari me rono u witotari Ishaya ma yoh Yakubu, Yakubu aco a nu kirau i.
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.
9 A cokoro wa wu ni eru ni Yususu wa ziki me u masar, Asere magi nan me.
"The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt; and God was with him,
10 Ma suso me a nyimo anirereme, ma nya me mu henu nan nu rusa utize a hira a Firauna Ugomo u masar, Firauna ma nya me ucanti u masar nan na kura ameme vat.
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.
11 An no a ribe ikomo ukene a manyanga mu masar vat nan kanana nan nu zito kang, a kaco aru wa diri imumare.
Now a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no food.
12 Serki sa Yakubu ma kunna imare ira anyimo umasar, matumi akaco aru me.
But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
13 Ukure me Yusufu ma suri wa iri me, firauna ma gurna nan na henu a Yusufu me.
On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
14 Yusufu ma tumi a henu ameme waka buka Yakubu a co ameme ma e u masar, vat nan ni henu wa biki eso sunare nan nu cibi.
Then Joseph sent, and summoned Jacob, his father, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
15 Yakubu ma ha umasar monno ma wi nan aka co arume.
Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, himself and our fathers,
16 Aziki we u hana ushekem a nyimo a mu cau sa Ibrahim ma kpi a zurfa a tarin ta hana a hamor ushekem me.
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.
17 U ganiya sa u u gwinci ka utize wa eh mamu, sa Asere ma buki Ibrahim, anume wa uh wa kinki u masar me.
"But as the time of the promise came close which God had made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Ure Ugomo ma hiri in na dumo, sa da ma rusi Yusufu ba.
until 'there arose a different king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.'
19 Me mani ma cangi anu acu me, ma nya we titene wa veti a hana awe me barki wa hama.
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.
20 U ganiya sa a yo Musa ma rizi memerun aje Asere inta me tipieu ti taru a nyimo a kura a co ameme.
At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father's house.
21 Sa a vete me a matara uco u Firauna ma wuzi ni wari ni me gu usam ume.
When he was thrown out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.
22 Musa ma manza tu katuma anu u mesar tize time me nan katuma ka me ka zi memerun.
Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
23 Serke sa mabiki ti we a ino anazi, iri ba ime ya be zi me ma ka ira ahenu ameme ahana a Israilawa.
But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24 Sa ma iri azi un nutira ure u Istrailawa, Musa ma benki me, ma garza men ma dusa mahu unu ugino me.
Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
25 Ma gusi agu ahenu me wadi iri tari ta Asere tini tidi benkiwe, da wa hemba.
He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they did not understand.
26 Rono ukure me ma biki a hana ameme wa zi in nukara ma ha ma gu in we, “A nu a dandang shi a henu wani, nya nini izi innu matara a cece ashi me?
"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?'
27 Unu ukwabi me matuburko musa me, ma gu “Aveni ma nya we tigomo tiru?
But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Udi hem? gu sa wa hu u masara me ninjo me?
Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'
29 Musa ma sumi sa ma kunna ani me ma cukuno gu ugenu a manyanga mu midia, monno ma yo a huna ruma ware.
Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
30 Tiwe ti aino a aki, umalaika ma ha a hira a musa a nyimo a nijaa upana u Sinai, a nyimo a nilem ni ura.
"When forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 Sa Musa ma iri ura, ma kunna bi yau, sa ma hana mamu, monno ma kunna ni gbiran na Asere, na gu.
When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came,
32 Mi mani Asere a kaco wa co aweme, aco a Ibrahim nan Ishaku, nan Yakubu, nipum ni Musa na tuba ukirsa, ma kari aje amemen.
'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob.' Moses trembled, and dared not look.
33 Asere agu imme, kara makwatak me, a hira a gemesa uturin a zo me imma dini ba.
The Lord said to him, 'Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
34 Ma mu ira utito a nu amme a nyimo umasar, ma kunna aso ashi me, mi be ma ringi in burishi, ayeni ana me, in di tumi shi u masar.
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.'
35 Musa ugeme sa ya gidi me sa we gu, Aveni ma nya we tigomo aru? me mani Asere ma tumi me atari ti malaika sa ma kem me a nyimo ani jaa.
"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.
36 Musa ma suso we a nyimo u masar, sa ma wuzi timumu ti dandang a nyimo umasar nan ni win nivu, nan a nyimo a nijaa a ti we ti nu a ino a nazi.
This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
37 Musa sa irusa me mani magu in na Israilawa Asere adi nya shi udura anyimo ashime nan na henu a shi, udura gimi.
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.'
38 Me mani sa mara a nyimo a ni gurna a ni jaa nan malaika sa ma buki metize a nipana ni sinai me mani sa mazi nan aka co aru me, me mani ma kabi tize ti urai ma nya dura.
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,
39 Me mani unu me sa aka co aru wa nyaru u kunma utize ti meme wa idi me ahira awe me, nan a nyimo iriba iwemme wa kuri u masar.
to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
40 A nyimo uganiya uginome wa gu in haruna bara duru mu Asere sa wadi canti duru, Musa ugeme sa ma suso duru umasar, tita duru imum me sa ya kenme ba.
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.'
41 Wonno wa ba barka ku maruka atiye me wa nya madodo imumare, wa kunna urunta kang.
They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
42 Senke Asere a ceki we wa wuzi anu akura Asere kadtuma gu sa a nyetike a nyimo a matakarda ma adura kAsere, ya wekimi iname ya iro anyimo atiwe a ino a nazi a rujaa, a kura a Israilawa?
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?
43 Yakabi a hira ni gurna ni molek nan Asere a Refan, nan na imum sa ya barka barki ni ru, indi ziki shi in aki u Babila.
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.'
44 Aka co arume wa zi inni rusa Asere a nyimo a nijaa, gu udungurka me umusa ma barka gu sa ma ira.
"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;
45 A hira a nigurna nan kaco arume wa gamirka wa riben a manyanga a tari ti Joshua imum ya hiri sa wa ribe wa meki ti tihira sa Asere ma gidi we, aje a kaco aru me, Anime ani har uganiya u Dauda.
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,
46 Sa ma hem ahira Asere, ma ikki barki makem Asere a Yakubu a hira.
who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
47 Senke sulemanu ma barka Asere a kura.
But Solomon built him a house.
48 Unu udandang ma da ciki a nyumo a tikura sa abara in tari ba, gu ubukamwa na kadura me.
However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
49 Aza me a hira ti cukum tum tini, adizi me a hira upatala tibuna tum, aye akura ani udi barka mini? ubo wa Asere, nani abani indi venke?
'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?
50 Da tari tum me tini ta wuzi ba?
Did not my hand make all these things?'
51 Shi anu sa ida kunna tize ba, da agwara muriba mushi nan titui, ko uya uganiya ya nyari ukana bibe ba Asere, i wuza gu aka co ashi me.
"You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so you do.
52 Uya unu dura mani sa da aka co ashi wa yomo me ba, wa hu anu dura sa wa emaje unu ulau, shi be ya cikuno anu uhaza anu.
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.
53 Shi me sa ya kabi udungurka Asere me sa malaiku wa inko, shi be yaga shi ucanti me.
You received the Law as it was ordained by angels, and did not keep it."
54 Sa anu adandang wa kunna timumume ya dari iriba iwe me, wa chari Istifanus in na nyo.
Now when they heard these things, they were furious, and they ground their teeth at him.
55 Sarki ma macika in bibe biriri, ma inki aje Asesere ma iri ni nonzo na Asere, ma iri Yesu maturi a tari tinare ta Asere.
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.
56 Istifanus magu, ira, ma ira a poko Asesere me vana Asere ma turi a tari tinare ta Asere.
And he said, "Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
57 Senki anu adangdang me wa wu uhanu in nigbirang we impi titui tu we me, wa rizi a me.
But they shouted out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.
58 Wa kari me anyimo a nipin me wa tizi me in napo, anu hiri me, wa nati tirunga adizi a tibuna ti shawulu me.
They threw him out of the city, and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 Sa wazi innu tiza u Istifanus, ma ri aje innu tisa Asere, ma gusi, “Ugomo Asere kaba bine bimme”.
They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
60 Ma tunguno a dizi ma yeze nigbirang inni kara, Asere, kati ucanti ucara tize a nice ni we me ba, sa ma mari ubo anime, monno ma wi.
He kneeled down, and shouted out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.
