1Then the high priest said: Are these things so?
1Kalen koek qaima mah, nihcae mah zae nethaih loe tangtang maw? tiah a dueng.
2Who said: Ye men, brethren, and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charan.
2Anih mah, Nawkamyanawk hoi kam panawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh; aicae ampa Abraham loe Haran ah om ai vop, Mesopotamia ah a oh naah, Sithaw lensawkhaih anih khaeah amtueng,
3And said to him: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
3Sithaw mah anih khaeah, Na prae hoi nangmah ih acaeng to caehtaak ah loe, kang patuek han ih prae ah cae ah, tiah a naa.
4Then he went out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charan. And from thence, after his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein you now dwell.
4To pongah anih mah Khaldia prae to caehtaak moe, Haran ah khosak: ampa duek naah ni vaihi na oh o haih prae ah Sithaw mah caehsak vop.
5And he gave him no inheritance in it; no, not the pace of a foot: but he promised to give it him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
5Sithaw mah anih to qawk paek ai, khok cawhhaih kakhawt ahmuen mataeng doeh paek ai: Abraham loe caa sah ai vop, toe anih hoi anih atiinawk mah prae to qawk ah toep o tih, tiah Sithaw mah lokkamhaih to paek.
6And God said to him: That his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and that they should bring them under bondage, and treat them evil four hundred years.
6Sithaw mah hae tiah lokthuih pae, Nang ih atiinawk loe minawk prae ah angvin ah om o tih; minawk mah nihcae to misong ah patoh o ueloe, saning cumvai palito thung pacaekthlaekhaih tong o tih.
7And the nation which they shall serve will I judge, said the Lord; and after these things they shall go out, and shall serve me in this place.
7Toe nihcae misong ah patoh prae to lok ka caek han, to pacoengah nihcae tacawt o ueloe, hae ahmuen ah Kai na bok o tih, tiah Sithaw mah thuih.
8And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob; and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
8To pacoengah Anih mah tangzat hin aah han lokmaihaih to Abraham khaeah paek: Abraham mah Isak to sak moe, ni tazetto naah tangzat hin to aah pae; Isak mah Jakob to sak, Jakob ih caanawk loe acaeng hatlai hnettonawk ih ampanawk ah oh o.
9And the patriarchs, through envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,
9Acaeng ampanawk mah Joseph to ut o pongah, Izip prae ah zawh o: toe Sithaw loe anih hoi nawnto oh,
10And delivered him out of all his tribulations: and he gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharao, the king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt, and over all his house.
10to pongah raihaih congca thung hoiah anih to pahlong, Izip prae siangpahrang, Faro hma ah palunghahaih hoi mikcuk naakrak ah khosak thaihaih to Joseph khaeah paek; to pongah Faro mah Izip prae hoi anih ih imthung takoh boih ukkung ah suek.
11Now there came a famine upon all Egypt and Chanaan, and great tribulation; and our fathers found no food.
11To naah Izip prae hoi Kanaan prae thung boih ah takaang thoh, paroeai raihaih oh pongah, aicae ampanawk loe caaknaek khawt ah hnu o ai.
12But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
12Izip prae ah cang oh mang ti, tiah Jakob mah thaih naah, anih mah aicae ampanawk to hmaloe koekah patoeh.
13And at the second time, Joseph was known by his brethren, and his kindred was made known to Pharao.
13Vai hnetto caeh o naah Joseph mah angmah ih nawkamyanawk khaeah anih loe mi maw, tito taphong pae; to pacoeng na hoi loe Faro mah Joseph imthung takohnawk to panoek boeh.
14And Joseph sending, called thither Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls.
14To pacoengah Joseph mah ampa Jakob hoi angmah ih nawkamyanak boih angmah khaeah angzoh o hanah, kami patoeh moe, kawksak, caanawk loe sangqum boih ah qui sarih, pangato phak o.
15So Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, and our fathers.
15To pongah Jakob loe Izip prae ah caeh tathuk, anih hoi aicae ampanawk loe to prae ah duek o,
16And they were translated into Sichem, and were laid in the sepulchre, that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hemor, the son of Sichem.
16qok to Sekem ah angzoh o haih moe, Abraham mah Sekem ah Hamor caanawk khaeah phoisa hoi qan ih taprong ah aphum o.
17And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased, and were multiplied in Egypt,
17Toe Sithaw mah Abraham khaeah lokkamhaih atue phak tom naah loe, Izip prae ah,
18Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
18Joseph panoek ai, siangpahrang kalah tacawt karoek to, kami paroeai pung o.
19This same dealing craftily with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their children, to the end they might not be kept alive.
19To siangpahrang loe aicae kaminawk to aling moe, nihcae hingsak han ai, a caa nawktanawk doeh vah o sut hanah, aicae ampanawk to pacaekthlaek.
20At the same time was Moses born, and he was acceptable to God: who was nourished three months in his father’s house.
20To nathuem ah Mosi to tapen, anih loe kranghoih parai, ampa im ah khrah thumto khue ni pacah vop:
21And when he was exposed, Pharao’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
21anih to taw ah vah o sut, Faro canu mah anih to lak moe, a capa tang baktiah a khetzawn.
22And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds.
22Mosi loe Izip kaminawk ih thoemhaih to amtuk boih, lokthuih thaihaih hoi sakthaihaih tha a tawnh.
23And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
23Mosi saning quipalito akoep naah loe, angmah ih nawkamya Israel kaminawk khaeah paqaih hanah a poek.
24And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him; and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury.
24Angmah acaeng maeto loe sakpazaehaih tidoeh om ai ah pacaekthlaek o, tiah anih mah hnuk naah, to kami to anih mah angsak haih, pacaekthlaek ih angmah acaeng kami ih lu lak pae hanah, Izip kami to a hum.
25And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them; but they understood it not.
25Sithaw mah anih ih ban patohhaih rang hoiah nihcae to loihsak, tiah angmacae kaminawk mah panoek o thai tih mue, tiah Mosi mah poek; toe nihcae mah panoek pae o thai ai.
26And the day following, he shewed himself to them when they were at strife; and would have reconciled them in peace, saying: Men, ye are brethren; why hurt you one another?
26Khawnbangah loe kangpanh kami hnik khaeah a caeh, nihnik angdaehsak han a koeh pongah, Nanghnik loe, nawkamya ah ni na oh hoi; tipongah maeto hoi maeto nang panh hoi loe? tiah a naa.
27But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us?
27Toe ampui nuiah kasae sah kami mah Mosi to nuih moe, Mi mah maw kaihnik ukkung hoi lokcaekkung ah ang suek?
28What, wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian?
28Zangduem ah Izip kami na hum baktih toengah, kai doeh hum han na koeh vop maw? tiah a naa.
29And Moses fled upon this word, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons.
29To lok to Mosi mah thaih naah, cawnh moe, Midian prae ah angvin ah khosak; toah caa hnetto a sak.
30And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the desert of mount Sina, an angel in a flame of fire in a bush.
30Saning quipalito laemh pacoengah, Angraeng ih van kami mah praezaek Sinai mae ah, kabuk thing thung ih kangqong hmaipalai thung hoiah Mosi to amtueng thuih.
31And Moses seeing it, wondered at the sight. And as he drew near to view it, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying:
31Mosi mah to tiah kangqong hmai to hnuk naah, dawnrai pongah khet hanah a taengah caeh, to naah Angraeng ih lok to a thaih,
32I am the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses being terrified, durst not behold.
32Kai loe nam panawk ih Sithaw, Abraham Sithaw, Isak Sithaw, Jakob Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah a naa. Mosi loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah oh moe, khen ngam ai.
33And the Lord said to him: Loose the shoes from thy feet, for the place wherein thou standest, is holy ground.
33Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Nang doethaih ahmuen loe kaciim ah oh pongah, na khokpanai to angkhring ah:
34Seeing I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, and I will send thee into Egypt.
34Izip prae ah kaom Kai ih kaminawk patangkhanghaih to Ka hnuk boeh; nihcae hanghaih lok Ka thaih pongah, nihcae loihsak hanah kang zoh tathuk boeh. Vaihi angzo ah, Izip prae ah kang patoeh han, tiah a naa.
35This Moses, whom they refused, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge? him God sent to be prince and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
35Hae Mosi mataeng doeh nihcae mah pahnawt o; mi mah maw nang hae ukkung hoi lokcaekkung ah ang suek? tiah a naa o, toe anih loe kabuk thing thung hoi kamtueng Van kami ih ban rang hoiah Sithaw mah nihcae ukkung hoi pahlongkung ah patoeh.
36He brought them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the desert forty years.
36Izip prae, tuipui kathim hoi praezaek ah, saning quipalito thung dawnrai hmuen hoi angmathaih hmuennawk to amtuengsak, to pacoengah nihcae to Izip prae thung hoiah a zaeh.
37This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel: A prophet shall God raise up to you of your own brethren, as myself: him shall you hear.
37Mosi mah Israel caanawk khaeah, Na Angraeng Sithaw mah nangmacae thung hoiah, kai baktih tahmaa maeto tacawtsak tih, anih ih lok to na tahngai o han oh, tiah a naa.
38This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on mount Sina, and with our fathers; who received the words of life to give unto us.
38Mosi loe praezaek ah kaminawk nawnto amkhuengsak moe, Sinai mae ah van kami hoiah lok apaeh, aicae ampanawk hoi nawnto a oh; Anih mah aicae khae paek hanah thuih ih hinghaih lok to talawk.
39Whom our fathers would not obey; but thrust him away, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
39Toe ampanawk mah lok to tahngai pae o ai, anih to pahnawt o, nihcae loe Izip prae ah amlaem let hanah poekhaih tawnh o.
40Saying 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.
40Izip prae hoi aicae zaehoikung Mosi loe kawbangmaw oh boeh, tito a panoek o ai pongah, Aaron khaeah, Kaicae hma ah caeh hanah sithawnawk to na sah paeh, tiah a naa o.
41And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
41To naah maitaw caa krang to a sak o moe, krang khaeah hmuen tathlanghaih to a sak o, angmacae ban hoi sak o ih hmuen nuiah a nawm o.
42And God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the books of the prophets: Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me for forty years, in the desert, O house of Israel?
42To pongah van ah kaom hmuennawk to bok o hanah, Sithaw mah nihcae to angqoi taak ving; tahmaanawk ih cabu thungah, Aw Israel kaminawk, saning quipalito thung praezaek ah moi na boh o moe, kai khaeah angbawnhaih na sak o vai maw?
43And you took unto you the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rempham, figures which you made to adore them. And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
43Ue, Molek bokhaih im to lak moe, na bok o hanah, nangmacae ih sithaw Rephah cakaeh hoi krangnawk to na sak o: to pongah nangcae to Babylon yaeh ah kang hoih han.
44The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the form which he had seen.
44Sithaw mah kahni im to Mosi khaeah patuek, anih mah hnuk ih krang baktih toengah sak hanah, anih khaeah thuih pae boeh, aicae ampanawk loe praezaek ah hnukung kahni im to a tawnh o.
45Which also our fathers receiving, brought in with Jesus, into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David.
45Aicae ampanawk mah kahni im to lak o, Joshua hoi nawnto Gentelnawk prae thungah a caeh o naah to kahni im to a sin o, Sithaw mah Gentelnawk to David dung karoek to aicae ampanawk hma hoiah a haek pae;
46Who found grace before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
46David loe Sithaw koehhaih baktiah khosak pongah, Jakob ih Sithaw ohhaih ahmuen to hnuk hanah a hnik.
47But Solomon built him a house.
47Toe Solomon mah ni Anih hanah im to sak pae.
48Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands, as the prophet saith:
48Toe Kasang Koek ah kaom Sithaw loe kami mah ban hoi sak ih im ah om ai.
49Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool. What house will you build me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my resting?
49Van loe kang hnukhaih angraeng tangkhang ah oh moe, long loe ka khok koenghaih ah oh: Angraeng mah, kawbaktih im maw nang sak pae o han? To tih ai boeh loe kang hakhaih ahmuen loe kawbaktih ahmuen maw?
50Hath not my hand made all these things?
50Hae hmuennawk boih loe Ka ban hoiah sak ih hmuen ah na ai maw oh o? tiah thuih.
51You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also.
51Nangcae palung thah kami, palung hoi naa tangzat hin aat ai kaminawk! Nangcae loe nam panawk mah sak o ih hmuen baktih toengah ni na sak o; Kacai Muithla to vaihi hoi vaihi na pahnawt o.
52Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers:
52Nam panawk mah pacaekthlaek ai ih tahmaa mi maw kaom? Thuihcoek ih angzo han koi katoeng Kami doeh nihcae mah hum o; anih to vaihi nang phat o taak pongah, kami hum kami ah na oh o boeh:
53Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
53van kaminawk rang hoiah kaalok to na hak o, toe na pazui o ai, tiah a naa.
54Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him.
54To lok to nihcae mah thaih o naah, palung tapok duih khoek to palungphui o moe, Stephen to haa kaek o thuih.
55But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up steadfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. And he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
55Toe Stephen loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi, van bangah a khet tahang naah, Sithaw lensawkhaih hoi Sithaw bantang bangah kangdoe Jesu to a hnuk.
56And they crying out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and with one accord ran violently upon him.
56Stephen mah, Khenah! Vannawk loe amongh moe, Sithaw bantang bangah kangdoe Kami Capa to ka hnuk, tiah a naa.
57And casting him forth without the city, they stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, whose name was Saul.
57Nihcae loe angmacae ih naa to tamuep o moe, tha hoi a hangh o pacoengah, Stephen khaeah nawnto cawnh o;
58And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
58anih to avang tasa bangah cae o haih moe, thlung hoiah vah o maat: to naah hnukung ah kaom kaminawk loe angmacae ih khukbuen to thendoeng maeto ih khokkung ah a suek o, to kami ih ahmin loe Saul.
59And falling on his knees, he cried with a loud voice, saying: Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord. And Saul was consenting to his death.
59Nihcae mah Stephen thlung hoiah vah o naah, Stephen mah Sithaw ih ahmin to palawk, Angraeng Jesu, ka pakhra hae talawk ah, tiah lawk a thuih.
