¹AYONAE ilegña y magas mamale: Taegüine este sija?

¹The high priest said, “Are these things so?”

²Ya güiya ilegña: Mañelujo lalaje yan mañaena, ecungog. Si Yuus y minalag fumatoigüe y tatata as Abraham anae estatabaja guiya Mesopotamia, antes di usaga Charran.

²He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

³Ya ilegña nu güiya: Suja gui tanomo yan y manparientesmo, ya maela jalom gui tano ni y finanuejo nu jago.

³and said to him, ‘Get out of your land, and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’ Genesis 12:1

⁴Ya güiya jumanao juyong gui tano y Chaldeosija, ya sumaga Charran: ya desde ayo, anae matae si tataña, ninamalofangüe as Yuus güine mague na tano anae mañasaga jamyo pago.

⁴Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land, where you are now living.

⁵Ya ti ninae güe jafa na erensiaña güije, aje, taya ni para upolo y adengña gui jiloña: lao prinemete güe na uninae para güinajaña, yan y semiyaña despues di güiya, sa güiyaja trabia tataepatgon.

⁵He 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 seed after him, when he still had no child.

⁶Ya si Yuus jasangan taegüine, Na y semiyaña utaotao juyong gui ti tanoña; yan manmacone ya manmancautiba, ya manmatrata taelaye cuatro sientes años.

⁶God spoke in this way: that his seed would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.

⁷Ya y nasion ni y manmancautiba, bae jujusga, ilegña si Yuus; na despues di ayo, ufanmamaela juyong ya guajo jumasetbe güine na lugat.

⁷‘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.’ Genesis 15:13-14

⁸Yan manae güe ni y traton sirconsision: ya si Abraham jalilis si Ysaac, ya masirconsida güe gui mina ocho na jaane; ya si Ysaac jalilis si Jacob; ya si Jacob jalilis y dose na patriarcasija.

⁸He 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.

⁹Ya y patriarca sija pot y inigoñija, mabende si José guiya Egipto: lao si Yuus estaba guiya güiya,

⁹“The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him,

¹⁰Ya ninalibre güe todo gui chinatsaga, yan ninae güe finaborese yan tiningo, gui menan Faraon, ray guiya Egipto; yan ninamagalaje güe guiya Egipto, yan todo y guimaña.

¹⁰and 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.

¹¹Ayonae mato niñalang todo gui tano Egipto yan Charran, yan dangculon chinatsaga: ya y mañaenata ti manmañoda nengcanoñija.

¹¹Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.

¹²Lao anae si Jacob jajungog na guaja trigo guiya Egipto, jatago y mañaenata finenana na biaje.

¹²But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.

¹³Ya y mina dos biaje, matungo si José ni y mañeluña: ya y parientes José janatungo si Faraon.

¹³On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s race was revealed to Pharaoh.

¹⁴Ya manago si José na umaagange si tataña as Jacob para iya güiya, yan todo y manparientesña, setentaisinco na taotao.

¹⁴Joseph sent, and summoned Jacob, his father, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.

¹⁵Ya si Jacob jumanao papa Egipto, ya matae güije yan y mañaenata sija.

¹⁵Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, himself and our fathers,

¹⁶Ya manmachule guato Siquem, ya manmapolo gui naftan, ni y finajan Abraham pot salape, gui famaguon Emmor guiya Siquem.

¹⁶and they were brought back to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.

¹⁷Lao anae esta jijot y tiempon y promesa, ni y si Yuus manjula as Abraham, ya y taotao lumamegae, yan manlajyan guiya Egipto,

¹⁷“But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁸Asta qui y otro ray cajulo, ya ti jatungo si José.

¹⁸until there arose a different king, who didn’t know Joseph.

¹⁹Este jausa y malamañaña gui manparientesta, yan jatrata taelaye y mañaenata, sa janafanmayute y famaguonñija ni y pago finañago para chañija fanlalâlâ.

¹⁹The same took advantage of our race, and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to throw out their babies, so that they wouldn’t stay alive.

²⁰Ya ayo na tiempo nae mafañago si Moises, ya sumenbonito; ya mapogsae gui guima tataña tres meses.

²⁰At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.

²¹Ya anae mayute, y jagan Faraon jumoca, ya pinegsae para lajiña.

²¹When he was thrown out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.

²²Ya si Moises, maeyag ni y todo y tiningo y taotao Egipto, ya mangaeninasiñaña y finoña yan y chechoña sija.

²²Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.

²³Ya anae cana jacumple cuarenta años y sacaña, mato gui corasonña na ubisita y mañeluña ni y famaguon Israel.

²³But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , the children of Israel.

²⁴Ya jalie uno guiya sija ni y japadese y maltrato, ya jadefiende y mumatrata, ya japuno y taotao Egipto.

²⁴Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.

²⁵Sa pineluña na jatungo y mañeluña na uninafanlibre as Yuus ni y canaeña; lao ti jatungo sija.

²⁵He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.

²⁶Ya y inagpaña na jaane, jafanue sija nu güiya anae managuaguat, ya malago na unaunoja talo sija, ilegña: Señores, jamyo mañelo; jafa na mananataelaye y uno yan y otro?

²⁶“The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, ‘Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?’

²⁷Lao ayo y minalalamen y tiguangña, jachonegñaejon, ilegña: Jaye munamagas jao gui jilo mame?

²⁷But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁸Malago jao unpunoyo taegüije anae unpuno nigap y taotao Egipto?

²⁸Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’ Exodus 2:14

²⁹Ya ninafalago si Moises ni este na sinangan, ya tumaotao juyong gui tano Madian, gui anae jalilis y dos na lajiña.

²⁹Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.

³⁰Ya anae jacumple cuarenta años, mato guiya güiya un angjet gui jalomtano gui egso Sinae, gui mañila y guafe gui jalom y trongcon chaguan.

³⁰“When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

³¹Ya anae jalie ayo si Moises, ninagosmanman ni y liniiña; ya anae lumajijot para ugueslie, y inagang y Señot mato guiya güiya,

³¹When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came to him,

³²Ilegña: Guajo y Yuus y mañaenamo, y Yuus Abraham, yan y Yuus Ysaac, yan y Yuus Jacob. Lao si Moises manlalaolao, ya ti siña jaatan.

³²‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Exodus 3:6 Moses trembled, and dared not look.

³³Ya y Señot ilegña nu güiya: Pula y sapatosmo gui adengmo; sa y lugat anae tumotojgue jao, santos na oda.

³³The Lord said to him, ‘Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.

³⁴Sa seguro julie, y manmasapet y taotaojo guiya Egipto, yan jujungog y inigongñiñija, ya tumunogyo para junafanlibre sija. Ya pago maela jao, sa jutago jao guato Egipto.

³⁴I 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 into Egypt.’ Exodus 3:5,7-8,10

³⁵Este y as Moises ni y jarechasa ilegñija: Jaye munamagas jao yan unjues? Güiya tinago as Yuus na umagas yan uninafanlibre pot y canae y angjet ni y mafato guiya güiya gui jalomtano.

³⁵“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.

³⁶Güiya chumule sija juyong, ya despues manfinanue ni y namanman, yan señat sija gui tano Egipto, yan y Tasen Agaga, yan y jalomtano cuarenta anos.

³⁶This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.

³⁷Este ayo y as Moises, ni y ilegña ni y famaguon Israel: Y Yuusmiyo janacajulo un profeta guiya jamyo gui mañelunmiyo taegüine iya guajo.

³⁷This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. TR adds “You shall listen to him.” ’ Deuteronomy 18:15

³⁸Este ayo y estaba gui inetnon, gui jalomtano, yan y angjet ni y cumuentuse güe gui egso Sinae, yan y mañaenata; ni y rumesibe y nalâlâ na tinago para ufanmanaejit.

³⁸This 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 living oracles to give to us,

³⁹Ni y mañaenata ti manmalago jaosgue lao mayute juyong guiya sija, ya y corasonñija manalo tate Egipto,

³⁹to whom our fathers wouldn’t be obedient, but rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,

⁴⁰Ilegñija as Aaron: Fatinasejam Yuus para ujanao gui menanmame, as este y as Moises ni y cumonejam juyong gui tano Egipto, ti intingo jafa ujuyong.

⁴⁰saying 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 don’t know what has become of him.’ Exodus 32:1

⁴¹Ya sija manmamatinas un tatnero, ya machule y inefrese para idolo sija, güije sija na jaane, ya ninafansenmagof ni y checho y canaeñija.

⁴¹They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.

⁴²Ayonae jabira si Yuus, ya japolo na ujaadora y inetnon y langet; taegüije esta matugue gui leblon y profeta: O jamyo ni y guima Israel, inofreseyo pinino gâgâ sija yan inefrese sija gui cuarenta años gui jalomtano?

⁴²But God turned, and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, This idiom could also be translated “host of heaven,” or “angelic beings,” or “heavenly bodies.” as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

⁴³Yan injatsa y tabemaculon Moloc, yan y estreyas y Yuus Refán, jechura sija ni y infatinas para inadora sija; ya guajo juchule jamyo mas chago qui Babilonia.

⁴³You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship. I will carry you away Amos 5:25-27 beyond Babylon.’

⁴⁴Y mañaenata, guaja ni y tabernaculon y testimonio gui jalomtano, taegüije tinanchoña ni ilegña as Moises na ufatinas taemanoja na jechura y liniiña.

⁴⁴“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;

⁴⁵Ni y mañaenata locue gui tiempoñija a machule jalom yan si Josué anae jumalom gui erensian y Gentiles, ni y si Yuus yumute juyong gui menan y mañaenata, asta y jaanen David;

⁴⁵which 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,

⁴⁶Ni y sumoda finaborese gui menan Yuus, yan jagagao na ualiligao tabernaculo para si Yuus Jacob.

⁴⁶who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.

⁴⁷Lao si Salomon fumatinase güe un guma.

⁴⁷But Solomon built him a house.

⁴⁸Sa y Gueftaquilo, ti sumasaga gui guima sija ni y finatinas canae; taegüije y sinangan y profeta.

⁴⁸However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,

⁴⁹Y langet tronujo, ya y tano fañajangan y papa adengjo; jafa na guma injatsayeyo? ilegña y Señot; pat jafa na sagayan nae jusaga?

⁴⁹‘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?

⁵⁰Ada ti y canaejo fumatinas todo este sija na güinaja?

⁵⁰Didn’t my hand make all these things?’ Isaiah 66:1-2

⁵¹Jamyo ni y gaetongjo tiso, yan ti manmasirconsida y corason yan y talanga, sa siempre incontra y Espiritu Santo; taegüije y checho y mañaenanmiyo inchechegüe.

⁵¹“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.

⁵²Jaye gui profeta ti japetsigue y mañaenanmiyo? ya japuno ayo sija y manmañangangane antes ni y mamamaela Uno na Tunas; ya jamyo pago inentrega, yan inpino;

⁵²Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.

⁵³Ni y inresibe y tinago pot y inareglan y angjet, ya ti inadaje.

⁵³You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”

⁵⁴¶ Ya anae jajungog estesija, manchinachat asta y corasonñija, ya janafañegcheg y nifenñija guiya güiya.

⁵⁴Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.

⁵⁵Lao güiya, bula ni y Espiritu Santo, ya jaatan meton y langet, ya jalie y minalag Yuus, yan si Jesus na tumotojgue gui agapa na canae Yuus.

⁵⁵But 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,

⁵⁶Ya ilegña, Estagüe na julie y langet na mababa, ya y Lajin taotao tumotojgue gui agapa na canae Yuus.

⁵⁶and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

⁵⁷Ayonae sija managang ni y dangculo na inagangñija, yan jatampe y talanganñija, ya manmalago guato guiya güiya;

⁵⁷But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.

⁵⁸Ya mayute juyong gui siuda, ya mafagas ni y acho: ya y testigo sija, japolo papa y magagoñija gui adeng un patgon na taotao na y naanña si Saulo.

⁵⁸They threw him out of the city, and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

⁵⁹Ya mafagas ni y acho si Esteban, ya jaaagang ni Yuus, ilegña: Señot, Jesus, resibe y Espiritujo.

⁵⁹They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

⁶⁰Ya dumimo papa, ya umagang ni y dangculo na inagangña, ilegña: Señot, chamo pumopolo este na isao gui cuentanñija; ya anae munjayan jasangan este, maego.

⁶⁰He kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
