Nandamiho ya Stefano
1 Hino, Ndundame Nkulu kakinkonya Stefano, “Bhuli nongwa ayi ya kya mwenga ndo hoto?”
2 Stefano kakiyanga, “Makaalongo bhangu na tate bhangu munnyihwe nenga! Hukulu ghwetu Abulahamu kukali na kughenda kutama ku Halani, Ukulu ghwa Chapanga ghukinbwitukila akwo ku Mesopotamia. 3 Chapanga kakinng'ombela, ‘Ghubhuke ku nnima ghwakwo na ghubhaleke bhandu bha nnima ghwako, ghughende ku nnima ghumbala kughulangiha.’ 4 Kya habhu, Abulahamu kakibhuka ku nnima ghwa Akaakalidayo, kakighenda kutama ku Halani. Mbole ya kuhwegha tate ghwake, Chapanga kakimmuha akwo ku Halani na kakinghegha kutama pa nnima aghu ghumuutama hino. 5 Chapanga kikinpegha kata kata nga kipalamande kyoheli kya nnima aghu kibheghe kyake, hata habhu kakinlagha kaampegha nnima aghu ghubhe ghwake na ghwa ubhelekwa ghwake, hata manjubha agho kakibha ywa nga mwana. 6 Chapanga kakinng'ombela habhu, ‘kibheleko kyakwo kyaghenda mu nnima ghwa kuuhenja, nabho bhaabhegha abhandwa na kutendelwa mahakataho mu ngungwa mbinda mabhoko kumi ncheche. 7 Peni nenga ndaghutosa nnima ghula ghughubhatenda abhandwa bhandu bhako, mbole bhaahika mu nnima aghwo na kundundamila nenga apa.’ 8 Ndo kakimpegha Abulahamu ninganilo lya kulumula unyagho. Naywo Abulahamu kakimpapa Isaka na kumlumula linjubha lya nhano na ndatu mbole ya kubhelekwa kwake. Mbole yake Isaka ubhwabhu abhu kakinndumula unyagho Yakobu mwana ghwake, naywo Yakobu kakiapapa bhala aghohi bhetu kumi na abhili na kakialumula unyagho bhula bhula.”
9 “Bhala ahukulu bhetu bhakimmonela tama Yosefu nlongo ghwabhe, bhakinhemela handa nbhandwa akwo ku Misili. Peni Chapanga kakibha papamu naywo, 10 kakinlopoha mu himbamanda hyaki hyoha, naywo Chapanga kakinpegha Yosefu mahala pakayimite mu ulongolo ghwa Falao Mutwa ghwa ku Misili, naywo kakimmika kabhe ntabhala ghwa Misili na ghwa kitutubhi kyoha kya ghubhutwa. 11 Mbole, kukibwituka njala ngulu ku nnima ghwoha ghwa Misili na ku Kanani, hikiyambuha lung'ahi lwa njala, nabho ahukulu bhetu bhakipelelwa hilyo. 12 Yakobu pakayihwite kukita kumisili kukibhegha na hilyo, kakialaghila ahukulu bhetu, nabho bhakighenda akwo kya kutandila. 13 Paaghenditi kya ubhili Yosefu kakilikambuha kwa alongo bhake, na mutwa Falao ghwa ku Misili kakikambuhwa alongo bha Yosefu. 14 Ndo Yosefu kakialaghiha bhandu bhannyeghe Yakwobu tati ghwake na aghanja bhake bhoha, mmalango ghwabhe yikibha bhandu mbinda mabhoko saba na nhano. 15 Habhu Yakwobu kakighenda Kumisili na hukulu bhetu na bhakihwila ukwaku. 16 Mitumbahi yabhe yikigheghwa mbaka ku Shekemu na yikikulilwa Mulindogholo liihemelitwe na Abulahamu kwa ngalabha kwa bhana bha Hamoli.”
17 “Peni manjubha paghatwihilikite Chapanga kayitwihilihe naghilo yakanpeghite Abulahamu, mmalango ghwa bhandu ghukiyonjokeheka kala na kubha nkulu muno. 18 Ndo mutwa yungi ywanga kumanya kyohele kya Yosefu kakitabhala Misili. 19 Mutwa aywo kakiatendela bhandu bhetu uhakata na kuabamanda atate bhetu kya kuangakamiha bhabhataghe bhana bhabhe hing'enya ngati bhabhakome. 20 Mu manjubha agho Musa kakibhelekwa, naywo kakibha mwana yunakuhalala munu. Na bhakinlela na kukula pakaya kwa tate ghwake kwa myehi mindantu. 21 Pabhalepelitwe kunhiha, bhakimmika pambwegha ya lukemba na biti Falao kakintola na kunlela handa mwana ghwake mwene. 22 Musa kakihundwa mahala ghoha gha Akaamisili, kakibha mundu nhwadali kwa malagho na ndendelo.”
23 “Musa pakabheghite na ngungwa mbinda mabhoko ncheche kakilamula kubhatyangila alongo bhake Akaisilaeli. 24 Kakinmona yumoo ywa alongo bhake pakatutwa na Nmisili, kakighenda kuntangatila, na kwa kibhuyiho kakintuta yula Nmisili mbaka kakinkoma. 25 Musa kakihwacha kukita alongo bhake bhaamanya kukita Chapanga kanguntumila ngati kakaalopohe, peni bhombe bhakimanya ng'obhe. 26 Kilabho yake Musa kakiabhona Akaaislaeli abhili paakitutana, kakiyigha kuahigha pakiaghombela, ‘Mwenga maalongo menyu, yibha bhuli mungupala kutendelana uhakata?’ 27 Peni yula mundu ywakantutite nnyake kakintakula Musa pambwegha na kakinkonya, ‘Ndo ghani ywakakubhikite ghwenga ghubhe nkulu na nlamula ghwetu? 28 Bhuli, ghungupala kungoma handa paghunkomite yula Nmisili lichu?’ 29 Musa pakayihwite malagho agho, kakitila na kakighenda kutama ku nnima ghwa ku Media handa nhenja, na akwo kakipapa bhana alumi abhili.”
30 “Hino mbole ya ngungwa mbinda mabhoko ncheche kuyomoka, nndumitumi ghwa Chapanga kakinbwitukila Musa kukibhala ugheghela na kitumbi kya Sinai mu kiputila kiibheghite mukiyaka mwoto. 31 Musa kakikangacha muno kubhona nnando aghu na pakaheghelelite ngati kalole maha kya ugheghela, ndo kakiyihwa lilobhe lya Bambo palikilongela. 32 ‘Nenga ndo Chapanga ghwa akaahukulu bhakwo, Chapanga ghwa Abulahamu, na Isaka na Yakobu.’ Musa kakiloghoya kwa lyogha na kakiyigha ng'obhe kulola kangi. 33 Bambo kaking'ombela, ‘Ghuhule makubasi ghakwo, kiyaha apa paghuyimite ndo pang'anyimo. 34 Kulyaghila nighabhona mapungwo gha bhandu bhangu akwo ku Misili. Nyihwa kililo kyabhe kya ubhabho, na nenga huluka ngati nubhalopohe. Hino ndaghulaghila ku Misili.’ ”
35 “Aywo ndo Musa bhandu bha ku Isilaeli bhakinlema paakilongela, ‘Ndo ghani ywakakutendite ghwenga ghubhe nkulu na nlamula ghwetu?’ Ndo Musa aywo aywo Chapanga kakinlaghila kabhe kilongohi na nlopohi ghwetu kwa njila ya ndumitumi ghwa kunane ghwa Chapanga ywakanbwitukilite mu kiputila kiiyakite mwoto. 36 Aywo ndo ywakaalongohite bhana bha Isilaeli kubhuka ku Misili na kutenda naho na mihabho mitangalo akwo Misili na mu Lihibha lya Shamu na kwa ngungwa mbinda mabhoko ncheche mu kibhala. 37 Ywene Musa ndo ywakaaghombelite bhandu bha Isilaeli, ‘Chapanga kabhayinulila mbuye, mu nkati ya alongo bhenu.’ 38 Musa kakibhegha papamu na ahukulu bhetu mu ngwemuko yila kukibhala, ywene ywakalongilite na nndumitumi ghwa kunani kwa Chapanga ku kitumbi cha Sinai na kakikingama malagho gha ubhumi ngati katupeghe twenga.”
39 “Peni aghohi bhetu bhakilema kunnyitikila Musa, mbole yake bhakinlema na bhakipala kubhuya kangi ku Misili. 40 Bhakinng'ombela Haluni, ‘Ghututendekehele machapanga bhangi bha kutulongoha, kiyaha tungumanya ng'obhe kiinbwitukilite aywo Musa ywakatulongohite kuhuma ku Misili.’ 41 Agho ndo manjubha ghaatendekehite ling'omung'omu lya mwana senga, bhakiliyambikila nyambi na kulitendela chekwa kilibhi kyene ndo lihengo lyaalitendite kwa mabhoko ghabhe bhene. 42 Peni Chapanga kakibhuka nkati yabhe, kakibhaleka bhayitundamile ndondwa hya kunane handa payityekitwe mu kitabho kya Ambuye,
‘Ma mwenga bhandu bha ku Isleli!
Mukimbegha ng'obhe nenga
nyambi ya anyama bhenu
mu ngungwa mbinda mabhoko ncheche ku kibhala!
43 Mwenga mukikighegha kigubi kya chapanga ghwa uhwangi Moleki,
na ling'omung'omu lya ndondwa ya chapanga ghwenu ghwa uhwangi Lefani,
ming'omung'omu hyamuyitendekehite ndo hyamuhitundamilite.
Kya habhu, ndabhaghegha kutali kupitingana Babeli.’ ”
44 “Kula kukibhala aghohi bhetu bhakibhegha na kila kigubi kiilangihite ubhegho ghwa Chapanga. Kigubi akyo kikitendekehwa handa Chapanga pakanng'ombilite Musa kalitende na nhwano twihiliko ghwakalangihitwe. 45 Mbole, aghohi bhetu paakikingamite kigubi akyo kwa kuyangana paakilongohwa na Yoshua, muutabhala ghula nnima kuhuma mu yila milima ya bhandu bhaabhingibhingitwe na Chapanga mu hibhungi kyabhe, nakyo kigubi akyo kikitama mu nnima aghu mbaka mu manjubha gha Daudi. 46 Daudi kakinhalala Chapanga, naywo Daudi kakinnyupa Chapanga kakanlekekehe ngati kakanchengele kitutubhi mwene Chapanga ghwa Yakwobu. 47 Peni Sulemani ndo ywakahotolite kunchengela Chapanga kitutubhi.”
48 “Hata habhu, Chapanga ghwa kunane muno kangutama ng'obhe mu hitutubhi hichengitwe na anabhandu handa pakalongelite mbuye ghwake:
49 ‘Bambo kangulongela naha, Kunane kwa Chapanga ndo kiteho kyangu kya ghubhutwa,
Na nnima ndo pakughabhika maghulu ghangu.
Maanjengela nyumba yakya bhuli,
ng'ebhu yangu ya kupumulilila yabhegha kwoki?
50 Ndo nenga ng'obhe nundendite hilibhi hyoha?’ ”
51 “Mwenga bhandu ahakata akulu, myoyo na makutu ghenu ndo handa gha bhandu bhaammanyite ng'obhe Chapanga. Mwenga ndo handa hukulu bhenu. Manjubha ghoha mungunpingika Nhuki ghwa Chapanga. 52 Bhuli, kabhegha mbuyi ywoki ghwa Chapanga ywene akaatate bhetu bhakikotoka kummbamanda? Bhakiakoma bhala bhaalondolite mihalo ya kya kuhika kwake yula yunashaliya. Na hino, mwenga munkiluka na mukinkoma. 53 Mwenga ndo munkingamite malaghilo gha Chapanga, ghaagheghitwe na nndumitumi ghwa kunani kwa Chapanga, Peni mukiyitikila ng'obhe!”
Stefano kangukomwa
54 Bhala aghohi bha njengakaya paayihwite agho, bhakihomwa mu myoyo, bhakiyaghabhala na bhakinkikinalila hibhungi Stefano. 55 Peni Stefano kunu pakilongohwa na Nhuki ghwa Chapanga, kakihulutula meho kulolekeha kunane kwa Chapanga na kakighubhona ukulu ghwa Chapanga na Yesu kakamuhwa uhokamo nkulu ghwa Chapanga. 56 Kakilongela, “Nnole! Ningubhona kunane kwa Chapanga kuhughuka na wana ghwa Mundu katama mumbande ya nnilo kwa Chapanga.”
57 Peni bhene bhakilema kuyihwa, bhakiyobha kyobho kwa lilobhe likulu na bhakihibha makutu, bhakinhumbila Stefano. 58 Bhakimmuha panji ya kitami, bhakintuta kwa maganga. Kukali na kuntuta kwa maganga bhala mayimiho bhakihula maghwanda ghabhe na bhakighabhika kaghalolekehe nhongolo yumu ywaakemitweghe Shauli. 59 Paabheghite mukuntuta maganga, Stefano kakinnyupa Chapanga, “Bambo Yesu, ghuukingame uhuki ghwa nenga.” 60 Mbole kakichutamila mayughwa, kakilila kwa lilobhe likulu paakilongela, “Bambo ghukotoke kuabhalanga ulemwa aghu.” Mbole ya kulongela agho kakiyomoka.
