¹O baro rashai phushlia katar o Stephen te si chaches.

¹And the chief priest said, `Are then these things so?`

²O Stephen phendia, "Manushale, murhe phral, ai murhe dada ashunen: O Del le putierako sikadilo amare dadeske o Abraham kana sas ande Mesopotamia, mai anglal sar te beshel ando Haran, ai phendia leske.

²and he said, `Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken: The God of the glory did appear to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran,

³Zhatar anda cho them, ai mek che niamuria, ai zha ando them kai sikavava tuke.

³and He said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and out of thy kindred, and come to a land that I shall shew thee.

⁴Antunchi gelo anda them kai sas le Chaldeans, ai avilo ando Haran; ai kotsar, kana mulo lesko dat, O Del andia les ando them kai san tume akana.

⁴`Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from thence, after the death of his father, He did remove him to this land wherein ye now dwell,

⁵O Del chi dia les kotse chi iek kher, chi phuv te tho o punrho. Numa O Del shinadia ke dela les o them, ai kodola kai avena pala leste avela vi lengo them kana wo merela, inker ande kodia vriama o Abraham nas les glati.

⁵and He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep, and did promise to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him — he having no child.

⁶Ai eta so phendia lesko O Del, kodola kai avena pala tute traiina andek them, ai won avena slugi, ai chinuina le shtar shela bersh.

⁶`And God spake thus, That his seed shall be sojourning in a strange land, and they shall cause it to serve, and shall do it evil four hundred years,

⁷Numa o them kai chinuisardia le, me dava les pe kris, phendia O Del, ai porme pala kodia anklen avri, ai podaina man katse.

⁷and the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and shall do Me service in this place.

⁸O Del dia o Abraham o kontrakto le shinimasko: O Abraham sas les iek shav o Isaak ai shindia lesko boriko le oxtoto dies. Ai o Isaak sas o dat le Iakovosko; ai o Iakov sas les desh u dui shave.

⁸`And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begat Isaac, and did circumcise him on the eighth day, and Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob — the twelve patriarchs;

⁹Numa le phral le Josephoske xolaile po Joseph, ai bichinde les te avel sluga ande Egypt. Numa O Del sas lesa,

⁹and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,

¹⁰ai ankalavelas les anda sa leske baiuria, ai dia les te avel gojaver, ai o Joseph pelo drago le Pharaohnoske kai sas o amperato le Egyptako; ai thodia le Josephos te lel pesko vas te avel baro pe Egypt ai pe sa o kher le Pharaohnosko.

¹⁰and did deliver him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he did set him — governor over Egypt and all his house.

¹¹Rimosaile e phuv ai chi mai bariolas xaben ande Egypt ai vi ando Canaan, ai sas baro nekazo; ai amare dada chi mai arakhenas xaben te pravarenpe.

¹¹`And there came a dearth upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,

¹²O Iakov ashundia ke sas jiv ande Egypt, ai tradia amare daden e pervo data.

¹²and Jacob having heard that there was corn in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;

¹³Ai e duito data le phral le Josefoske prinzharde les; ai o Pharaohono diape gor anda che familia sas o Josef.

¹³and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brethren, and Joseph`s kindred became manifest to Pharaoh,

¹⁴Porme o Josef tradia te anen le Iakovos kai sas lesko dat, ai sa peska niamon kai sas eftavardesh tai panzh zhene.

¹⁴and Joseph having sent, did call for his father Jacob, and all his kindred — with seventy and five souls —

¹⁵O Iakov avilo ande Egypt, ai mulo kotse, ai vi amare dada.

¹⁵and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,

¹⁶Ai angerde le ando Shechem, ai thode le ando groposhevo kai o Abraham chindiasas lovensa katar le shave le Hamoroske, o dat le Shechemosko.

¹⁶and they were carried over into Sychem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Sychem.

¹⁷E vriama pasholas kai trobulas te kerdiol so O Del shinadia sas le Abrahamoske, ai o narodo butiolas ande Egypt,

¹⁷`And according as the time of the promise was drawing nigh, which God did swear to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁸zhi kai kerdilia aver amperato kai chi zhanelas le Josefos.

¹⁸till another king rose, who had not known Joseph;

¹⁹Kodo amperato xoxadia amare narodos, ai chinuisardia amare narodos, kana phendia lenge pe zor te meken tsinorhen te meren.

¹⁹this one, having dealt subtilely with our kindred, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babes, that they might not live;

²⁰Ande kodia vriama o Moses biandilo, ai wo sas drago ai lasho angla iakha le Devleske, sas pravardo trin shon ando kher peske dadesko;

²⁰in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and he was brought up three months in the house of his father;

²¹ai kana mekle les, e shei le Pharoahnoske lia les, ai bariardia les sar ta avino lako shav.

²¹and he having been exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and did rear him to herself for a son;

²²O Moses sas sichardo ande sa e goji le Egyptonge, ai zuralo sas kana divinilas ai kana kerel vari so.

²²and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.

²³Shtarvardesh bershengo sas kana avilia leske po ilo te zhal te dikhel peske phralen kai sas Zhiduvuria.

²³`And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came upon his heart to look after his brethren, the sons of Israel;

²⁴Dikhlia sar marenas iekes, ai mardia pe wo anda kuko kai sas mardo, ai dia iek le Egyptianos.

²⁴and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he did defend, and did justice to the oppressed, having smitten the Egyptian;

²⁵Wo gindilas ke leske phral le Zhiduvuria haliarenas ke O Del si te tradel lenge o skepimos katar o Moses; numa won chi haliarde.

²⁵and he was supposing his brethren to understand that God through his hand doth give salvation; and they did not understand.

²⁶Pe terharin o Moses arakhlia duie Zhidovon kai marenaspe, ai wo manglia te aterdiarel le, ai mothol lenge, "Murhe vortacha, tume phral san, sostar maren tume?" Numa iek anda lende kai marelas pe kukulesa, spidia le Mosesos,

²⁶`On the succeeding day, also, he shewed himself to them as they are striving, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, brethren are ye, wherefore do ye injustice to one another?

²⁷ai phenel, "Kon thodia tu baro ai te des ame kris tu?"

²⁷and he who is doing injustice to the neighbour, did thrust him away, saying, Who set thee a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁸Ai phendia leske, "Manges te mudares i man sar mudardia arachi le Egyptianos?"

²⁸to kill me dost thou wish, as thou didst kill yesterday the Egyptian?

²⁹Kana ashundia o Moses kodola vorbi liape an nashlo, ai gelo andek them kai bushol Midian, ai kotse sas les dui shave.

²⁹`And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons,

³⁰Shtarvardesh bersh pala kodia, iek angelo sikadilo leske ande pusta kai sas o plai kai busholas Sinai ande parha kai sas ande krenzha kai phabolas.

³⁰and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai a messenger of the Lord, in a flame of fire of a bush,

³¹Kana dikhlia kodia o Moses, chudisailo anda so dikhlia, ai sar pasholas o glaso le Devlesko, ashundilia leske, phenelas,

³¹and Moses having seen did wonder at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord unto him,

³²"Me sim O Del che dadengo, O Del le Abrahamosko, ai O Del le Isaakosko, ai O Del le Iakovosko. "O Moses izdralas, ai chi tromalas te dikhel.

³²I [am] the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. `And Moses having become terrified, durst not behold,

³³O Del phenel leske, "Le le papucha anda che punrhe, ke po phuv kai beshes swuntsola.

³³and the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place in which thou hast stood is holy ground;

³⁴Dikhlem o nekazo murhe narodosko kai si ande Egypt, ashundem lengo tsipimos, ai hulistem akana te ankalavav le avri. Akana zha, Me tradava tu ande Egypt.

³⁴seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that [is] in Egypt, and their groaning I did hear, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send thee to Egypt.

³⁵Sa kodo Moses kai le Zhiduvuria gonisarde les, ai phende leske, "Kon thodia tu baro ai te des kris?" O Del tradia les sar baro ai skepitori la putierasa le angeloski kai sikadilia sas leske ande krenzha.

³⁵`This Moses, whom they did refuse, saying, Who did set thee a ruler and a judge? this one God a ruler and a redeemer did send, in the hand of a messenger who appeared to him in the bush;

³⁶O Moses si kai ankaladia le Zhidovon andai Egypt, ai kai kerdia mirakluria ai semnuria ande kodo them, kai pai e loli, ai ande pusta shtarvardesh bersh.

³⁶this one did bring them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years;

³⁷Ai pale o Moses phendia le Zhidovonge, O Del tradela tumenge iek profeto sar mande kei avela iek anda tumaro narodo.

³⁷this is the Moses who did say to the sons of Israel: A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me, him shall ye hear.

³⁸Wo si kai sas mashkar le Zhiduvuria kai sas chidine ande pusta, wo sas amare dadensa ai le angelosa kai delas duma lesa pe plaiing kai bushol Sinai, ai o Moses phendia le vorbi ka amare daden, ai lia le vorbi le Devleske te anel le amende;

³⁸`This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the messenger who is speaking to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers who did receive the living oracles to give to us;

³⁹Numa amare dada chi mangle te lenpe pala leste, chi mangle kodo zakono ai ande pengo ilo mangenas te zhan palpale ande Egypt.

³⁹to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but did thrust away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,

⁴⁰Ai phende ieke manusheske kai busholas Aaron, ker amenge dela kai phiren angla amende ke o Moses kai ankaladia ame avri andai Egypt, chi zhanas so kerdilia ande leste.

⁴⁰saying to Aaron, Make to us gods who shall go on before us, for this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what hath happened to him.

⁴¹Ai kerde ande kodola diesa iek vitselo sumnakuno, ai mudarde ieke zhegania ai phende te avel angla vitselo, ai raduisaile savorhe anda so kerde ande penge vas.

⁴¹`And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands,

⁴²Antunchi O Del durilo lendar, ai meklia len te rhuginpe kal chererhaia ai kal shunuto ai kal dieli kai si ando cheri; sar si ramome ande klishka le profetonge, tume narodo andai Israel, mange si kai dian le zhigenien ai ande murho anav kai mudardian le shtarvardesh bersh ande pusta?

⁴²and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

⁴³Nichi, numa angerdian e tsera le Devleski kai busholas Moloch, ai e chererhai kai sas tumaro Del o Remphan, kodola patreturia kai tume kerdian te rhugin tume lende; anda kodia angerava tume mai dur de sar e Babylon.

⁴³and ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan — the figures that ye made to bow before them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon.

⁴⁴Ande pusta amare dada sas le iek tsera kai sas andre ramome le zakonuria. Kodia tsera sas kerdi sar O Del phendia, sas le Mosesoske te kerel la, ai phendia sas le Mosesoske te kerel saikfielo sai kodia tsera kai dikhlia;

⁴⁴`The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He did direct, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen;

⁴⁵Kodia tsera sas dini ka amaro narodo kai avilo pala amende, ai angerde la pensa kana sas o Josef o baro line o them katar le thema kai O Del gonisardia anda lende. Ai beshlo zhi kai avilo o David.

⁴⁵which also our fathers having in succession received, did bring in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God did drive out from the presence of our fathers, till the days of David,

⁴⁶O David sas drago le Devleske, ai manglia te kerel ek kher le Devleske, pala O Del o Iakovosko.

⁴⁶who found favour before God, and requested to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob;

⁴⁷Numa o Solomon kerdia o kher le Devlesko.

⁴⁷and Solomon built Him an house.

⁴⁸Numa O Del chi beshel anda so sas kerdo andel vas le manusheske, sar mothol o profeto.

⁴⁸`But the Most High in sanctuaries made with hands doth not dwell, according as the prophet saith:

⁴⁹O rhaio si murhi amperetsia ai e phuv si kai phirav savestar kher kerena mange? Mothol O Del. Vai kai avela o than kai hodiniva?

⁴⁹The heaven [is] My throne, and the earth My footstool; what house will ye build to Me? saith the Lord, or what [is] the place of My rest?

⁵⁰Pate nai murho vas kai kerdia sa kadala bucha?

⁵⁰hath not My hand made all these things?

⁵¹Tume manushale kai chi pachan o mui ai kai tumaro ilo ai tumare khan phandade le ka glaso le Devlesko, ai chi meken O Swunto Duxo te del ande tumaro ilo, vi tume sar tumare dadasa.

⁵¹`Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! ye do always the Holy Spirit resist; as your fathers — also ye;

⁵²Savo andal profeturia si kai tumare dada chinuisarde le ai marde le? Mudarde kodolen kai mothonas mai anglal ke si te avel O Swunto kodo kai bichindian les ai mudardian les;

⁵²which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom now ye betrayers and murderers have become,

⁵³Tume kai sas tume dino o zakono le Devlesko katar le angeluria, ai chi lian tume pa kado zakono.

⁵³who received the law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep [it].`

⁵⁴Kana ashunde kodala vorbi, xolaile, ai kristsiinas andal dand pe leste.

⁵⁴And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and did gnash the teeth at him;

⁵⁵Numa o Stephen kai sas pherdo Swunto Duxo, vazdia le iakha karing o rhaio, ai dikhlia o barimos le Devlesko, ai le Kristos ande punrhende sar beshelas pe rik e chachi le Devleski.

⁵⁵and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked stedfastly to the heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

⁵⁶Ai phendia, "Eta, Dikhav o cheri sar si phuterdo, ai O Shav le Manushesko ande punrhende pe rik e chachi le Devleski."

⁵⁶and he said, `Lo, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.`

⁵⁷Savorhe tsipinas, ai phandade penge khan, ai savorhe xokle pe leste, ai angerde les avri anda foro, ai shude bax anda leste te mudaren les; le manush kai shudenas bax anda leste dine penge tsalia ka terno manush te garavel le, wo busholas Saul.

⁵⁷And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and did rush with one accord upon him,

⁵⁹Ande kodia kai shudenas le baxensa anda leste o Stephen, rhugilaspe ai motholas, "Devla, le murho traio tute."

⁵⁸and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning [him] — and the witnesses did put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul —

⁶⁰Porme pelo ande changende, ai tsipisardia zurales, "Devla, na xoliavol pe lende anda so kerde," ai kana phendia kodola vorbi mulo.

⁵⁹and they were stoning Stephen, calling and saying, `Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;`

⁶⁰and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, `Lord, mayest thou not lay to them this sin;` and this having said, he fell asleep.
