Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then the high priest said: Are these things so?
1Mwet Tol Fulat el siyuk sel Stephen, “Ya pwaye ma mwet inge fahk keim uh?”
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.
2Ac Stephen el fahk, “Mwet lili ac papa an, kowos porongeyu! Meet liki Abraham, papa matu tumasr, el tuh som ac muta lac Haran, God lun wolana El sikyang nu sel in acn Mesopotamia,
3And said to him: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
3ac fahk nu sel, ‘Tuyak ac fahla liki facl sum ac mwet lom, ac som nu ke sie acn su nga ac fah akkalemye nu sum.’
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.
4Na el som liki facl sel, su ma lun mwet Chaldea, ac muta in siti se pangpang Haran. Tukun papa tumal Abraham ah misa, God El sap elan tuku nu in acn se ma kowos muta we inge.
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.
5God El tiana sang kutu srisrik ipin acn inge nu sel Abraham in pacl sac tuh in ma lal. Tusruktu God El tuh wuleang mu El ac fah sang acn inge lal, oayapa nu sin fwilin tulik natul. In pacl se God El orala wulela se inge, wangin tulik natul Abraham.
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.
6Pa inge ma God El fahk nu sel: ‘Fita lom uh ac fah muta in sie facl sac, yen elos ac fah mwet kohs we, ac elos ac fah akkeokyeyuk ke lusen yac angfoko.
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.
7Tusruk nga ac fah nununku mwet ma ac akkeokyalos uh, na tok elos ac illa liki facl se ingo ac alu nu sik in facl se inge.’
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.
8Na God El sang nu sel Abraham sie mwe akul nu ke wulela sac, pa kosrala. Ouinge Abraham el kosralla Isaac ke el len oalkosr matwa, ac Isaac el kosralla Jacob, ac Jacob el kosrala wen singoul luo natul, su mwet matu pwengpeng lun sou lasr uh.
9And the patriarchs, through envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,
9“Joseph el sie sin mwet matu pwengpeng lasr, ac tamulel lal elos sok sel ac kukakunulla tuh elan sie mwet kohs in acn Egypt. Tusruktu, God El welul
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.
10ac karinganulang ke mwe ongoiya nukewa nu sel. Ke Joseph el utukyak nu ye mutal Pharoah, tokosra lun Egypt, God El sang ohi ac lalmwetmet nu sel, na tokosra sac el oakilya Joseph tuh elan governor fin acn we, ac oayapa fin mwet nukewa inkul fulat lun tokosra.
11Now there came a famine upon all Egypt and Chanaan, and great tribulation; and our fathers found no food.
11Na oasr sracl na lulap se sikyak fin acn Egypt nufon oayapa in facl Canaan, su pwanang keok lulap nu in acn we. Mwet matu lasr elos tuh tia ku in konauk mwe mongo,
12But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
12ac ke Jacob el lohngak lah oasr wheat in acn Egypt, el supwala wen natul, aok papa matu tumasr, ke fahsr se meet lalos nu we.
13And at the second time, Joseph was known by his brethren, and his kindred was made known to Pharao.
13Ke fahsr se akluo lalos ah, Joseph el sifacna fahkulak nu sin mwet lel, ouinge tokosra Egypt el tufah etu ke sou lal Joseph.
14And Joseph sending, called thither Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls.
14Na Joseph el sapla nu sel Jacob, papa tumal, ac fahk tuh el ac sou lal in tuku nu Egypt — mwet itngoul limekosr nufon.
15So Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, and our fathers.
15Na Jacob el oatula som nu Egypt, yen ma el, ac papa matu tumasr, misa we.
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.
16Manolos utukla nu Shechem, ac pukpuki ke kulyuk se ma Abraham el tuh molela sin mwet in sruf lal Hamor.
17And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased, and were multiplied in Egypt,
17“Ke apkuran me pacl se ma God El tuh wuleang kac nu sel Abraham ah, pisen mwet lasr in acn Egypt arulana puseni.
18Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
18Fahsr nwe sie tokosra su tia etu kacl Joseph el mutawauk in leum fin acn Egypt.
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.
19El kiapwela mwet matu lasr, ac arulana sulallal nu selos, ac el orek sap ku nu selos in sisla tulik fusr natulos liki lohm selos elos in misa.
20At the same time was Moses born, and he was acceptable to God: who was nourished three months in his father’s house.
20Pa inge pacl se Moses el isusla, ac el sie tulik na oasku. Mwet in lohm sel uh liyalang ke malem tolu,
21And when he was exposed, Pharao’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
21ac ke sisila el liki lohm sel ah, acn se natul tokosra nutella ac tufahlla oana in ma na natul.
22And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds.
22Lutiyuk el ke kain in etauk nukewa lun mwet Egypt, ac el sie mwet arulana pah in kas ac ku ke orekma.
23And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
23“Ke Moses el yac angngaul matwal, el nunkauk in som liye lah mwet Israel wial uh fuka.
24And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him; and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury.
24Ke el som el liye lah sie selos tuh orek arulana koluk sin mwet Egypt se, sruk wangin mwatal. Ouinge Moses el som in kasrel, na el foloksak nu sin mwet Egypt sac ac unilya. (
25And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them; but they understood it not.
25El nunku mu mwet lal uh ac kalem kac lah God El orekmakunul in aksukosokyalosla, tuh elos tiana kalem kac.)
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?
26In len tok ah el liye ke mwet Israel luo anwuk, na el srike in akmisyeltalla, ac el fahk nu seltal, ‘Porongeyu. Komtal kewa mwet Israel, na efu ku komtal anwuk angan?’
27But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us?
27Tusruktu mwet se ma oru koluk mwet se ngia el sinukunulla Moses ac siyuk sel, ‘Su oru kom in leum facsr ac nununkekut uh?
28What, wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian?
28Ya kom lungse uniyuwi, oana ke kom uniya mwet Egypt se ekea ah?’
29And Moses fled upon this word, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons.
29Ke Moses el lohng kas inge, el kaingla liki acn Egypt ac som muta in facl Midian. Ke el muta we, oasr wen luo natul we.
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.
30“Tukun yac angngaul, lipufan se sikyang nu sel Moses liki e se ma firir in sak srisrik soko in acn mwesis apkuran nu fineol Sinai.
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:
31Moses el arulana lut ke ma se el liye inge, ac el kalukyang nu kac elan liye in wo. Na el lohngak pusren Leum, ke El fahk:
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.
32‘Nga God lun papa matu tomom somla — God lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob.’ Moses el rarrar ke sangeng, ac tia ku in ngetang nu kac.
33And the Lord said to him: Loose the shoes from thy feet, for the place wherein thou standest, is holy ground.
33Ac Leum God El fahk nu sel, ‘Eisla fahluk lom an, tuh acn se kom tu we inge acn mutal se.
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.
34Nga liye lupan ongoiya lun mwet luk in acn Egypt. Nga lohng sasao lalos, ac inge nga oatui in molelosla. Fahsru, ac nga fah supwekomla nu Egypt.’
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.
35“Moses se inge pa mwet Israel tuh srangesr lohngol, ac fahk nu sel mu, ‘Su oru kom in leum facsr ac nununkekut uh?’ El pa mwet se ma God El supwala in tuh kol mwet uh, ac molelosla ke kasru lun lipufan se su sikyang nu sel in e se ma firir in sak srisrik soko ah.
36He brought them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the desert forty years.
36El kolla mwet uh liki acn Egypt, orek mwenmen ac ma sakirik in acn Egypt ac in Meoa Srusra, ac oayapa in acn mwesis uh ke yac angngaul.
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.
37Moses se inge pa mwet se ma tuh fahk nu sin mwet Israel, ‘God El ac fah supwama mwet palu se nu suwos, oana ke El tuh supweyume, ac el ac fah mau sie mwet in mutunfacl suwos.’
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.
38El pa tuh wi u na lulap se lun mwet Israel su toeni in acn mwesis; el tuh wi mwet matu lasr muta we, ac wi pac lipufan se ma tuh kaskas nu sel fineol Sinai, ac el tuh eis kas moul lun God in tafwema nu sesr.
39Whom our fathers would not obey; but thrust him away, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
39“Tusruktu mwet matu lasr elos tia lungse aksol Moses. Elos sisella ac kena folokla nu Egypt.
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.
40Ouinge elos fahk nu sel Aaron, ‘Orala kutu god ah in kol kut. Kut tiana etu lah mea acnu sikyak nu sin mwet se Moses uh, su uskutme liki acn Egypt ah.’
41And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
41In pacl sac pa elos tuh orala ma sruloala se in luman cow mukul soko, ac orek kisa nu kac, ac orek kufwa in akfulatye ma se elos sifacna orala.
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?
42Ke sripa se inge God El tuh ngetla lukelos, ac eisalosyang in alu nu ke itu inkusrao uh, oana ma fahkak in Ma Simusla lun mwet palu uh, su fahk: ‘Kowos mwet Israel! Ma kowos uniya ac kisakin Ke yac angngaul in acn mwesis ah, Kowos tia oru nu sik.
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.
43Lohm nuknuk lal god Molech ah pa kowos tuh us forfor ah, Ac ma sruloala in lumal Rephan, god itu lowos; Ma inge kewa ma sruloala ma kowos orala tuh kowos in alu nu kac. Ouinge nga ac fah supwekowosla nu in sruoh nu in sie acn loes liki acn Babylon.’
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.
44“Mwet matu lasr elos tuh us Lohm Nuknuk su Nien Muta lun Leum God welulos yen mwesis ah. Tuh orekla oana ke God El fahk nu sel Moses, ac fal nu ke srikasrak ma itukyang Moses el liye ah.
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.
45Tok, mwet matu lasr elos tuh eis lohm nuknuk sacna, ma papa tumalos tuh sang nu selos, ac elos us welulos ke elos tuh welul Joshua sruokya acn sin mutanfahl ma God El tuh lusak ye mutalos. Na lohm nuknuk sac oanna we nwe ke pacl lal David.
46Who found grace before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
46God El tuh insewowo sel David, ac David el siyuk God Elan lela nu sel in musai sie lohm sin God lal Jacob.
47But Solomon built him a house.
47Tuh tia el, a Solomon pa tuh musaela lohm se nu sel ah.
48Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands, as the prophet saith:
48“Tusruktu God Fulatlana El tia muta in lohm ma orekla ke poun mwet; oana ke mwet palu el fahk,
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?
49‘Leum God El fahk, Kusrao nien muta fulat luk, Ac faclu ma loangeyen niuk. Lohm fuka se kowos ac musaela sik an? Pia acn nga ac muta we uh?
50Hath not my hand made all these things?
50Ya tia nga pa orala ma inge nukewa uh?’”
51You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also.
51Ac Stephen el fahk, “Seyal kowos arulana likkeke ac lohsr insiowos! Kowos mwet srangesr lohng kas sin God me! Kowos wi pac lain Ngun Mutal oana mwet matu lowos somla!
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:
52Ku oasr mwet palu ma mwet matu lowos ah tuh tia akkeokye? Elos tuh uniya mwet utuk kas lun God su fahkak oemeet ke Mwet Kulansap suwoswos se lun God su ac tuku. Ac inge kowos tukakunulak ac unilya.
53Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
53Kowos pa tuh eis Ma Sap lun God su tutafme sin lipufan ah — ne ouinge, a kowos tiana akos!”
54Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him.
54Ke Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat elos lohng kas lal Stephen, elos arulana foloyak ac ngalseni wihselos ke kasrkusrak lalos sel.
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.
55Tusruktu Stephen el sesseslana ke Ngun Mutal. El ngetak nu inkusrao ac liye wolana lun God, ac Jesus el tu lac po layot sin God.
56And they crying out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and with one accord ran violently upon him.
56Na el fahk, “Ngetak liye! Nga liye kusrao ikakla, ac Wen nutin Mwet el tu lac po layot sin God!”
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.
57Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat uh wola ke sie pusra lulap ac fonosya insraclos. Na elos nufon tukenina yuyang nu sel,
58And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
58sisella nu likin siti uh, ac mutawauk in tanglal. Mwet orek loh lainul elos filiya nuknuk lik lalos yurin sie mwet fusr pangpang 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.
59Elos nuna tanglal na Stephen ke el pang nu sin Leum ac fahk, “Leum Jesus, eis ngunik!”
