Berean Standard Bible
1NINAU aku la ke kahuna nui, Pela no anei keia mau mea?
1Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”
2I mai la keia, E na kanaka, na hoahanau, a me na makua, e hoolohe mai; Ua ikea mai ke Akua nani e ko kakou kupuna e Aberahama, i kona noho ana ma Mesopotamia, i ka wa mamua aku o kona noho ana ma Harana:
2And Stephen declared: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
3A i mai la ia ia, E puka aku oe, mai kou aina aku, a mai kou poe hoahanau aku hoi, a e hele i ka aina a'u e kuhikuhi aku ai ia oe.
3and told him, ‘Leave your country and your kindred and go to the land I will show you.’
4Alaila, hele aku la ia mawaho o ka aina o ko Kaledaio, a noho iho la ma Harana: a make kona makuakane, mai ia wahi mai i lawe mai ai oia ia ia, a i keia aina a oukou e noho nei.
4So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God brought him out of that place and into this land where you are now living.
5Aole hoi i haawi ia ia ia i hooilina maloko ona, aole no i kahi e ku ai ka wawae: ua olelo mai nae oia e haawi mai ia ia ia i kuleana nona, a no kana poe mamo mahope ona; ia manawa, aole ana keiki.
5He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised to give possession of the land to Abraham and his descendants, even though he did not yet have a child.
6I mai la ke Akua penei, E noho malihini ana kana poe mamo ma ka aina e; a e hooluluhi pio ia ilaila, a e hoomainoinoia mai lakou, i na makahiki eha haneri.
6God told him that his descendants would be foreigners in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
7A o ka lahuikanaka a lakou i hookauwa ai, na'u no ia e hoopai aku, wahi a ke Akua: a mahope iho o keia mau mea, e puka mai lakou iwaho, a e malama mai ia'u ma keia wahi.
7‘But I will punish the nation that enslaves them,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come forth and worship Me in this place.’
8A haawi mai la ia ia i ka berita o ke okipoepoe ana; a hanau mai nana o Isaaka, a okipoepoe iho la ia ia i ka walu o ka la; a na Isaaka o Iakoba, a na Iakoba o na makualii, he umikumamalua.
8Then God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, and Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. And Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.
9A huahuwa iho la na makualii ia Iosepa, a kuai lilo aku la ia ia i ko Aigupita: aia no me ia ke Akua,
9Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him
10A nana no i hoopakele mai ia ia, mailoko mai o kona mau popilikia a pau, a haawi mai ia ia i ka lokomaikaiia, a me ke akamai imua o Parao, o ke alii o Aigupita; a hoolilo iho la ia ia, i luna maluna o Aigupita, a me kona hale a pau.
10and rescued him from all his troubles. He granted Joseph favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, who appointed him ruler over Egypt and all his household.
11Ua hiki mai he wi maluna o ka aina a pau o Aigupita a me Kanaana, a me ka popilikia nui: aole i loaa i ko kakou mau kupuna ka mea ai.
11Then famine and great suffering swept across Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers could not find food.
12A lohe ae la o Iakoba he ai ma Aigupita, hoouna mua aku la ia i ko kakou mau kupuna.
12When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit.
13A i ka lua [o ka hele ana] hoike mai o Iosepa ia ia iho i kona poe hoahanau, a hoikeia'ku la ka ohana o Iosepa ia Parao.
13On their second visit, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, and his family became known to Pharaoh.
14Alaila, hoouna mai la o Iosepa, a kii mai la i kona makuakane ia Iakoba, a me kona poe hoahanau a pau; he mau uhane kanahikukumamalima lakou.
14Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five in all.
15Iho ae la o Iakoba i Aigupita, a make iho la ia, a me ko kakou poe kupuna.
15So Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our fathers died.
16A laweia'ku la lakou i Sukema, a waiho iho la maloko o ka halelua a Aberahama i kuai mai ai i ke kala me na keiki a Hemora, a ka makuakane o Sukema mai.
16Their bones were carried back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a price he paid in silver.
17A kokoke hiki mai ka wa i oleloia mai ai, a ke Akua i hoohiki mai ai ia Aberahema, mahuahua na kanaka, a lehulehu ae la ma Aigupita;
17As the time drew near for God to fulfill His promise to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased greatly in number.
18A ku mai la kekahi alii e ae, i ike ole ia Iosepa.
18Then another king, who knew nothing of Joseph, arose over Egypt.
19Hana maalea mai la ia i ko kakou lahuikanaka, a hana ino mai i na kupuna o kakou, a kiola aku la i ka lakou keiki hou, i ole lakou e ola.
19He exploited our people and oppressed our fathers, forcing them to abandon their infants so they would die.
20Ia manawa i hanau ai o Mose, a ua maikai loa ia, a hanaiia oia i ekolu malama maloko o ka hale o kona makuakane.
20At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in the sight of God. For three months he was nurtured in his father’s house.
21A i kona wa i hooleiia'i mawaho, lawe ae la ke kaikamahine a Parao ia ia, a malama iho la i keiki nana.
21When he was set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.
22Ua aoia o Mose i ke akamai a pau o ko Aigupita, a ua mana hoi ma na olelo, a ma na hana ana.
22So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.
23A hala na makahiki ona he kanaha, kupu iho la ka manao maloko o kona naau, e hele aku e ike i kona poe hoahanau, i ka poe mamo a Iseraela.
23When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24A ike aku la ia i kekahi mea e hana ino ia'ua, kokua aku la oia ia ia, a hooponopono mamuli o ka mea i hooluhi hewa ia mai, a pepehi aku la i ke kanaka o Aigupita.
24And when he saw one of them being mistreated, Moses went to his defense and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian who was oppressing him.
25Manao iho la ia e hoomaopopo auanei kona poe hoahanau e haawi mai ana ke Akua i ola no lakou, ma kona lima; aka, aole lakou i ike.
25He assumed his brothers would understand that God was using him to deliver them, but they did not.
26A ia la ae, ikea oia ia lakou e paio ana, a koi aku la oia ia laua e kuikahi, i ae la, E na kanaka, he mau hoahanau olua, no ke aha la olua e hana ino nei kekahi i kekahi?
26The next day he came upon two Israelites who were fighting, and he tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why are you mistreating each other?’
27Aka, o ka mea hana ino i ka hoa, kipaku aku la oia ia ia, i aku la, Nawai la oe i hoonoho ai i alii, a i lunakanawai maluna o makou?
27But the man who was abusing his neighbor pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us?
28Ke manao nei anei oe e pepehi mai ia'u, e like me kou pepehi ana i ke kanaka o Aigupita inehinei?
28Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29Holo aku la o Mose no keia olelo, a lilo i malihini ma ka aina Midiana, malaila i hanau ai nana, na keikikane elua.
29At this remark, Moses fled to the land of Midian, where he lived as a foreigner and had two sons.
30A pau na makahiki hookahi kanaha, ikeia mai la he anela o ka Haku ia ia, ma ka waonahele, ma ka mauna Sinai, maloko o ka lapalapa ahi o ka laau ooi.
30After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.
31A ike aku la o Mose, kahaha aku la i keia mea i ikeia; a hookokoke aku la no hoi ia e makaikai, a hiki mai ka leo o ka Haku io na la,
31When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came to him:
32Owau no ke Akua o kou mau makua, ke Akua o Aberahama, ke Akua o Isaaka, ke Akua a Iakoba. Haalulu iho la o Mose, a makau ke makaikai aku.
32‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.
33Olelo mai la ka Haku ia ia, E wehe oe i kou mau kamaa, mai kou mau kapuwai aku; no ka mea, o kahi au e ku nei, he aina hoano ia.
33Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
34I ka nana ana, ua ike au i ka poino ana o ko'u poe kanaka ma Aigupita, a ua lohe no au i ko lakou kaniuhu ana, a ua iho mai nei au e hoopakele ia lakou: e hele mai hoi oe, a e hoouna aku au ia oe i Aigupita.
34I have indeed seen the oppression of My people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’
35O ua Mose la, ka mea a lakou i hoole ai, me ka i ana'e, Owai ka mea i hoonoho ia oe, i alii, a i lunakanawai? oia no ka ke Akua i hoouna aku ai i alii, a i ola, ma ka lima o ka anela ana i ike aku ai iwaena o ka laau ooi.
35This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ is the one whom God sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36Nana no lakou i alakai iwaho, e hana ana i na mea kupanaha, a me na hoailona ma ka aina o Aigupita, a me ke Kaiula, a ma ka waonahele i na makahiki hookahi kanaha.
36He led them out and performed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, at the Red Sea, and for forty years in the wilderness.
37O ua Mose la keia, ka mea nana i olelo mai i na mamo a Iseraela, E hoala mai ana ka Haku, ko oukou Akua, i kekahi Kaula, mailoko mai o ko oukou poe hoahanau, e like me au nei; oia no ka oukou e hoolohe aku ai.
37This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’
38Oia no ka mea maloko o ka ekalesia ma ka waonahele me ka anela nana i olelo mai ia ia, ma ka mauna ma Sinai, a me ko kakou poe kupuna hoi; a loaa no ia ia na olelo hoola, e haawi mai ia kakou.
38He was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. And he received living words to pass on to us.
39Aole i makemake ai ko kakou poe kupuna e hoolohe ia ia, aka, kipaku aku la, a ma ka naau, huli hou no lakou i Aigupita,
39But our fathers refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
40I ae la ia Aarona, E hana oe i mau akua no kakou, e hele aku mamua o kakou; no ka mea, o ua Mose la, ka mea i alakai mai ia kakou nei, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, aole kakou i ike i kona wahi i lilo aku ai.
40They said to Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us! As for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.’
41A ia mau la, hana iho la lakou i bipi keiki, a haawi aku la i mohai na ua kii akua la, a olioli iho la lakou i ka mea a ko lakou mau lima iho i hana'i.
41At that time they made a calf and offered a sacrifice to the idol, rejoicing in the works of their hands.
42Alaila huli aku la ke Akua, a kuu mai la ia lakou e hoomana aku i ka puali o ka lani; e like me ka mea i palapalaia maloko o ka buke a ka poe kaula, E ka ohana a Iseraela e, ua lawe mai anei oukou na'u i na mea i pepehiia, a me na mohai, i na makahiki hookahi kanaha ma ka waonahele?
42But God turned away from them and gave them over to the worship of the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘Did you bring Me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43A ua kaikai oukou i ka halelewa o Moloka, a me ka hoku o ko oukou akua o Remepana, i na kii a oukou i hana'i, i mea e hoomana aku ai ia lakou; a na'u no oukou e lawe aku ma o aku o Babulona.
43You have taken along the tabernacle of Molech and the star of your god Rephan, the idols you made to worship. Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’
44Ua loaa no i ko kakou poe kupuna ma ka waonahele, ka halelewahoike, e like me ka olelo ana i olelo mai ai ia Mose, e hana ia mea me ke kumu ana i ike ai.
44Our fathers had the tabernacle of the Testimony with them in the wilderness. It was constructed exactly as God had directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.
45O ka mea hoi a ko kakou poe kupuna i lawe a kai mai ai me Iosua, i ke kuleana o ka lahuikanaka e a ke Akua i kipaku aku ai, mai ka maka aku o ko kakou poe kupuna, a hiki wale mai i na la o Davida.
45And our fathers who received it brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations God drove out before them. It remained until the time of David,
46Loaa no hoi ia ia ka lokomaikaiia mai imua i ke alo o ke Akua, noi aku la ia e hoomakaukau i wahi e noho ai, no ke Akua o Iakoba.
46who found favor in the sight of God and asked to provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
47Na Solomona nae i kukulu i hale nona.
47But it was Solomon who built the house for Him.
48Aka, aole e noho ka Mea Kiekie maloko o na luakini i hanaia e na lima; e like me ka mea i oleloia mai ai e ke kaula,
48However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
49O ka lani ko'u nohoalii, a o ka honua hoi ko'u keehana wawae. Heaha ka hale a oukou e kukulu ai no'u? wahi a ka Haku; heaha hoi ko'u wahi e maha ai?
49‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me, says the Lord, or where will My place of repose be?
50Aole anei na ko'u lima i hana keia mau mea a pau?
50Has not My hand made all these things?’
51E ka poe ai oolea, ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia ma ka naau, a ma ka pepeiao, ua mau loa ko oukou pale ana i ka Uhane Hemolele; e like me ko oukou kupuna, pela no hoi oukou nei.
51You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers did.
52Owai kekahi mea o ka poe kaula i hoomaau ole ia e ko oukou poe kupuna? Ua pepehi hoi lakou i ka poe nana i hai mua mai i ka hiki ana mai o ka Mea Hemolele, ka mea a oukou i kumakaia iho nei a pepehi iho la.
52Which of the prophets did your fathers fail to persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One. And now you are His betrayers and murderers—
53Ua loaa no hoi ia oukou ke kanawai, na ka poe anela i hoolaha mai, aole nae oukou i malama.
53you who received the law ordained by angels, yet have not kept it.”
54A lohe lakou i keia mau mea, walania iho la ko lakou naau, nau iho la ko lakou mau kui ia ia.
54On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were enraged, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
55Aka, ua piha no ia i ka Uhane Hemolele, a haka pono aku la ia i ka lani, a ike aku la i ka nani o ke Akua, a me Iesu e ku ana ma ka lima akau o ke Akua;
55But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
56I mai la ia, Aia hoi, ke ike aku nei au i na lani e hamama ana, a me ke Keiki a ke kanaka e ku ana ma ka lima akau e ke Akua.
56“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
57Uwa aku la lakou me ka leo nui, papani iho la i ko lakou mau pepeiao, a lele lokahi mai la maluna ona;
57At this they covered their ears, cried out in a loud voice, and rushed together at him.
58Kiola aku la ia ia mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, a hailuku aku la; a waiho iho la na mea hoike i ko lakou aahu ma ka wawae o kekahi kanaka ui, i kapaia o Saulo.
58They dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59Hailuku aku la lakou ia Setepano, kahea ana me ka olelo aku, E ka Haku, e Iesu, e hookipa aku oe i kuu uhane.
59While they were stoning him, Stephen appealed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
60Kukuli iho la ia a hea aku la me ka leo nui, E ka Haku, mai kau oe i keia hewa maluna o lakou. A pau kana olelo ana pela, hiamoe iho la ia.
60Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
