Berean Standard Bible
1JAMERO lapalap ap majani: I Melel mepukat?
1Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”
2A majani: Ri ai o jam ai kan, komail ron, Kot en linan kotin pwara don jam atail Apraam ni a kotikot Mejopotamien, ni a jaikenta kotikot Aran,
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,
3O kotin majani on i: Kowei jan nan jap om o jan ren jau om, ko won eu jap, me I pan kajale on uk!
3and told him, ‘Leave your country and your kindred and go to the land I will show you.’
4I ap lipa jan nan jap en Kaltiia o kotikot Aran. Jam a lao matalar, a kotin kalua won i jap wet, waja komail kotikot anjau wet.
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.
5I ari jota kotin mueid on i, en japaneki jap o, jota waja, me laude on pat en na eu, ap kotin inauki on i, ni anjau jaikenta japwilim a jeri, me a pan kotiki on i o kadaudok a, en japaneki.
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.
6A iet duen me Kot kotin majani: Kadaudok a pan kakairu nan jap en men wai, o re pan lidula, o kanaudokala jaunpar papuki.
6God told him that his descendants would be foreigners in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
7O Kot kotin majani: I pan kadeikada toun wei o, me re kin liduliduwi. A murin met re pan lipa jan jap o, ap kaudok on ia jap wet.
7‘But I will punish the nation that enslaves them,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come forth and worship Me in this place.’
8I ari kotiki on irail inau en jirkomjaij. A ap wiadar Ijaak o jirkomjaij i ni ran kawalu, a Ijaak wiadar Iakop, a Iakop jam atail ekriamen oko.
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 jam atail oko peirinki Iojep ap netikilan i Akipten. A Kot me kotin apwali i,
9Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him
10O kotin dorela i jan ni a apwal akan karoj, o kotiki on I konekon on kupurokon mon Parao, nanmarki en Akipten. I ap kajapwilada i, en kaun en Akipten o a dipijou karoj.
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.
11Muein lek ap kipadi jap en Akipten karoj o Kanaan; i anjau o me apwal melel, o jam atail akan jota diaradar jak ar kijin jak.
11Then famine and great suffering swept across Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers could not find food.
12A Iakop lao mani, me mana mi Akipten, ap kotin poronelar maj jam atail akan.
12When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit.
13A lao kariapak Iojep ap diarokadar ren ri a ol akan, o jau en Iojep janjaledo ren Parao.
13On their second visit, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, and his family became known to Pharaoh.
14Iojep ap ilake don jam a Iakop, pwen kotilan re a o jau i kan karoj, irail me ijiakan limen.
14Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five in all.
15Iakop ap kotidilan Akipten o matalar, i o jam atail akan.
15So Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our fathers died.
16Irail ari wijikelan Jikem o jaredier nan joujou o, me Apraam netiekida moni kai jan ren nain Emor oko, jam en Jikem.
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 anjau, me inau en Kot on Apraam pan pwaida, lao korendor, men Ijrael apkaparapar o totolar nan Akipten.
17As the time drew near for God to fulfill His promise to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased greatly in number.
18A lao lel amen nanmarki kaunda Akipten, me jaja Iojep,
18Then another king, who knew nothing of Joseph, arose over Egypt.
19I me widiwidina kainok atail oko, o wia jued on jam (atail) akan, pwe ren kajela nairail kijin jeri kan, pwe re de memaurata.
19He exploited our people and oppressed our fathers, forcing them to abandon their infants so they would die.
20I anjau me Mojej ipwidier, me jeri kajelel amen, ap apapwalieta nan im en jam a jaunipon jilu.
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 lao lokidokilar, japwilim en Parao jeripein ap dorela i o kakairada dueta udan na.
21When he was set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.
22Mojej ari padakeda ni jon en lolekon en men Akipten karoj; a i me manaman ni a majan o wiawia kan.
22So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.
23A lao jaunpar paeijok dauer poa, ap lamedar, en tu on ri a ol akan men Ijrael.
23When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24A lao majani amen, me kalokolok mal, ap jauaja i o depuk on, me kaloke mal, ap kotin kamelar ol en Akipten.
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.
25Pwe a kupura, me ri a ol akan pan dedeki, me Kot pan kotin kapiti kin ir jan lim a; a re jota dedeki,
25He assumed his brothers would understand that God was using him to deliver them, but they did not.
26A mandan ran o a kotila re ’rail ni ar akamai pena, ap men kotin kapol ira la, majani: Koma pirien eu, menda koma wia japun nan pun oma?
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?’
27A me wiada japun on men imp a o jikon wei i, inda: Ij me kajapwil uk adar, pwen at jaumaj o jaunkapun?
27But the man who was abusing his neighbor pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us?
28Koe pan kame ia la dueta koe kamela men Akipten aio?
28Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29Mojej ap tanki jan lokaia pot et o kakairu jili nan jap en Midian eu, waja a kanaitikieda ol riamen.
29At this remark, Moses fled to the land of Midian, where he lived as a foreigner and had two sons.
30Kadekadeo lao par paeijok dauer poa, tounlan amen ap pwara don i ni nana Jinai nin tuka teketek umpumpul pot.
30After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.
31Mojej lao majani, ap kotin puriamuiki kajanjal o. A ni a koti on, pwen majani, kapitie en Kaun o ap pei don i:
31When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came to him:
32Nai Kot en jam om akan, Kot en Apraam, o Ijaak, o Iakop. Mojej ap kotin rerereda o majak udial i.
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.
33Kaun o ap kotin majani on i: Kijan jut ni na om akan, pwe waja koe u ia me jaraui!
33Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
34I kilaner kankaneraner en nai aramaj akan, o I roner ar janejan, ap kodi don kamaio wei ir ala. Ari kodo, I pan kadar uk alan Akipten!
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.’
35I Mojej, me irail mamaleki ni ar indinda: Ij me kajapwil uk ada, pwen at jaumaj o jaunkapun? I me Kot kotin poronela, en jaumaj o jaunkamaur ki lim en tounlan o, me kotin pwara don i nan tuka teketek.
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.
36Iei i, me kalua ir jan o wiadar manaman o kilel akan nan jap Akipten, o nan jed waitata, o nan jap tan jaunpar paeijok.
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.
37I Mojej, me majani on men Ijrael: Kot pan kotiki on komail Jaukop amen jan nan ipwin ri omail ol akan dueta nai, i me komail en peiki on!
37This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’
38Iei i, me mi nan momodijou nan jap tan ren tounlan o, me kotin mamajani on i pon nana Jinai, o me kotin ieian jam atail akan me kotin aleer majan en kamaur, pwen uje don kit.
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.
39Me jam atail akan kan peiki on, ap jiken wei jan irail i, o nan monion arail re men japalan Akipten,
39But our fathers refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
40Potoan on Aron: Wiai on kit at kot akan, me pan tion mo at, pwe je jaja, da me wiaui on Mojej, me kalua kit jan nan Akipten!
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.’
41Irail ari wiadar dikedik en kapul amen ni ran oko, o mairon on kilel en ani mal o, n perenki, wiawia kan en pa arail.
41At that time they made a calf and offered a sacrifice to the idol, rejoicing in the works of their hands.
42Kot ap kotin jaupei jan irail o kotin mueid on irail ren kaudok on uju pan lan akan duen a intinidier nan puk en jaukop akan: Iaduen komail men Ijrael, komail maironki on ia man akan nan jap tan ni par Paoijok?
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?
43Melel komail waroki on mol on Molok, o uju en omail kot Rempan, dikedik kai, me komail wiadar, pwen poni; a I pan kajapoke komail la palila jan Papilon.
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.’
44Mol en kadede mi ren jam atail akan nan jap tan duen majan en i, me kotin mamajani on Mojej, me ren wiada duen kilel o, me a kotin udialer.
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.
45Me jam atail akan pil aleer, ap ian Iojua wala ni ar japaneki jap en men liki kan me Kot kotin koko wei mon jilan en jam atail akan lao lei muein Dawid.
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,
46Me konekon ren Kot o kotin anane kauadan Kot en Iakop mol eu.
46who found favor in the sight of God and asked to provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
47A Jalomo me kotin kauada tanpaj eu.
47But it was Solomon who built the house for Him.
48A Waja lapalap jota kin kotikot nan mol, me pa en aramaj wiadar duen jaukop o kin katitiki:
48However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
49Nanlan deu i, o jappa utipa i, me Kaun o kotin majani. A im da, me komail men kauadan ia, de ia waja, I en kamol ia?
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?
50Kaidin pa i, me wiadar mepukat karoj?
50Has not My hand made all these things?’
51Komail me katiwo o jo jirkomjaij nan monion o jalon omail, komail kin kaokaoe Nen jaraui anjau karoj, komail kin dueta jam omail akan.
51You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers did.
52Ij ren jaukop akan me jam omail akan jota kaloke? O re kamata ir ala, me kopador Pun men et, me komail panalar o kamatalar.
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—
53Komail me aleer kapun ren tounlan kan, ap jota kapwaiada.
53you who received the law ordained by angels, yet have not kept it.”
54Irail ronadar mepukat, ap olar nan monion arail o re teterok ni on i.
54On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were enraged, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
55A Jtepanuj dir en Nen jaraui kankakil nanlan o udial en Kot a linan o Iejuj a kotikot ni pali maun en Kot,
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.
56Ap katitiki: Kilan, i ududial nanlan kan ar ritida, o Nain aramaj a kotikot ni pali maun en Kot.
56“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
57Irail ap weriwereda o pinale jalon arail o wiaki eu tana don i.
57At this they covered their ears, cried out in a loud voice, and rushed together at him.
58Irail lao jikenewei jan nan kanim o, rap kate i. A jaunkadede kan pwilikidier ar likau ni na en manakap amen, me ad a Jauluj.
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.
59Irail ari kate Jtepanuj ni a kapakap o inda: Main Iejuj, re kotin kajamo nen i!
59While they were stoning him, Stephen appealed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
60I ari kelepuki o nil laudeda: Main re der kapokon on irail dip wet. A inda met, ap mairedi o ari.
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.
