Sitefano arabhuga kyeego Abhiiziraeri bhaamwaangiri Taatabhugya
1 Kyaamwe omuseengeri omukuru akamubhuurya Sitefano, “Gano goosi bhaagaambiri, ni ge eheene?”
2 Sitefano akamukyoora, “Abhahiiri bhaane na bhataata, muniitegeerere! Taatabhugya wo obhuguungo akamutuukira zaazi weetu Aburahamu mukyaaro kya Mesopotamia, hano yaari akyaari kusaamira mumugye gwa Haraani. 3 Taatabhugya akamubhuurira, ‘Orwe mukyaaro kyaazo kino na abhahiiri bhaazo, ogye mukyaaro kino niraakweerekye.’* 4 Niho Aburahamu akasaama mukyaaro kyaaye kya Abhakaridayo, akagya kwiikara mumugye gwa Haraani. Eriibhaga ryo oruku rwa wiise waabhu, Taatabhugya akamusaamya, akamureeta mukyaaro kino mukwiikara tee bhoono.
5 “Taatabhugya ataamuheeri Aburahamu engabho yoyoosi mukyaaro kino, ataamuheeri naabhe ahagiro ho okutaza itazo rimwe. Nawe Taatabhugya akamuragania kubha, ewe no orwiibhuro rwaaye runo rukuuza bharagabha ekyaaro, yiingabha Aburahamu ataari na mwaana. 6 Taatabhugya akamubhuurira Aburahamu, ‘Abhaatu bho orwiibhuro rwaazo bharabha abhagini mukyaaro kya abhaatu abhaandi, abhaatu bhe ekyaaro kiyo bharabhakora abhagya bhaabhu no okukorerwa kibhi kumyaaka magana ane (400).’ 7 Taatabhugya akabhuga, ‘Nawe enye ndabhatema abhaatu bhe ekyaaro kiyo, bhano bharaabhakorye emirimo kya abhagya, okumara ndabharuusya abhiibhurwa bhaazo mukyaaro kiyo okubha bhaaze kuniseengera hano.’† 8 Niho Taatabhugya akakora eriiragano rye esaaro‡ na Aburahamu, okubha abhaana bhe ekisubhe bhoosi bhasaarwe. Kweego Aburahamu akamwiibhura Isaaka, akamusaara orusiku rwa kanaane kweema yiibhurwe. Niho okumara Isaaka woosi hano yamwiibhwiiri Yaakobo akamusaara, na Yaakobo woosi hano yiibhwiiri abhamura ikumi na bhabhiri, akabhasaara. Bhayo nibho bhazaazi bheetu.
9 “Ambe, bhazaazi bheetu bhayo bhakamurorera omugono Yusufu, bhakamugurya abhe omugya mukyaaro kya Misiri. Nawe Taatabhugya yaari hamwe neewe, 10 akamutuurya munyaako yaaye yoosi. Taatabhugya akamuha amangʼeeni no orubhaango embere wa Farao, omutemi wa Misiri. Kweego omutemi wuyo akamuseega, akamutuura abhe omukaangati we ekyaaro no omwiimeerereri omukuru we enyuumba yaaye yo obhutemi.
11 “Niho ekatuuka enzara haari bhukongʼu mukyaaro kyoosi kya Misiri na Kanaani, ne enzara yiyo ekagirya enyaako nzaru, na bhazaazi bheetu bhataabhweeni ebhyaakurya. 12 Hano Yaakobo yiigwiiri kubha engano eratuuka mukyaaro kya Misiri, akabhatuma abhaana bhaaye. Na runo nirwo rwaari orugeendo rwaabhu rwo obhweemero okugya eyo. 13 Murugeendo rwaabhu rwa kabhiri, Yusufu akiimenyeekererya kubhahiiri bhaaye bhayo, na bhakamenyekana ku Farao. 14 Kyaamwe, Yusufu akatuma amangʼana kugya kumubhirikira wiise waabhu Yaakobo, hamwe na abhahiiri bhaaye bhoosi bhagye Misiri. Neebho bhoosi bhaari miroongo muhuungati na bhataano (75). 15 Kweego, Yaakobo akahiriingita kugya Misiri, eyo niyo ewe na bhazaazi bheetu bhaakweereeri. 16 Nawe emibhiri gyaabhu gikareetwa owaabhu mumugye gwa Shekemu, gikabhiikwa mumbiihira ya mwiibhigi yino Aburahamu yaguriri kwe eziimbirya ndebhe okurwa kubhaana bha Hamoori.
17 “Hano eriibhaga rikiisuka rya Taatabhugya akore kyeego yamuragiri Aburahamu, abhaatu bheetu bhakaaruha bhukongʼu Misiri eyo. 18 Mubhuteero, omutemi owuundi wuno ataamenyiri kiyo kyoosi iguru wa Yusufu, akataanga obhukaangati Misiri. 19 Omutemi wuyo, akabhakorera eniku no okubhanyaakya bhazaazi bheetu, akabha arabhaswaagya bharekere abhaana bhaabhu abharere habhoori bhakwe.
20 “Eriibhaga riyo, niryo Musa yiibhwiirwe, yaari omwaana muzomu bhukongʼu. Yarerirwe na abhiibhuri bhaaye munyuumba yaabhu kwa myeeri etatu. 21 Hano abhiibhuri bhaatamiibhwe kumubhisa, bhakamuhira igutu haguhi ne ekitaaro, niho omuukya wa Farao akamugega, akamurera kyo omwaana waaye omwiibhurwa. 22 Musa akeegibhwa amangʼeeni goosi ga Abhamisiri, akabha omukaari kwo obhugaambi na amahokya.
23 “Hano Musa yahikirye emyaaka miroongo ene (40), akabha ne enaamba yo okugya kurorana na abhahiiri bhaaye bha Iziraeri. 24 Akarora Omwiiziraeri wumwe aranyaakibhwa bhukongʼu no Omumisiri. Niho akagya bhwaangu kumutuurya omuhiiri waaye no okumurihira endihi, akamwiita Omumisiri wuyo. 25 Musa yaari ariiseega kubha abhahiiri bhaaye bhaangamenyiri kubha Taatabhugya arabhatuurya kurwa mubhugya, kwo okuhitira kweewe, nawe bhataamenyiri ego. 26 Tabhoori yaho, akasikana na Abhiiziraeri bhabhiri bhararwaana. Akasakya kubhiigwaania akabhuga, ‘Bhamure, emwe ndora ni bhahiiri! Kwaki muriinyahaara?’
27 “Nawe wuyo yaari kumunyaakya omurikyaaye akamuhuna Musa embarika, akamubhuurya, ‘Ni weewi wuno yakutuuriri obhe omukaangati weetu no omutaania weetu? 28 Bhoono, oreenda kuniita kyeego izo okiita Omumisiri wurya?’§ 29 Hano Musa yiigwiiri amangʼana gayo, akangʼosa, akagya mukyaaro kya Midiani, akiikara eyo kyo omugini. Hano yaari eyo, akiibhura abhaana bhabhiri.
30 “Hano Musa ahiikara Midiani, gyaari gihitiri emyaaka miroongo ene (40), niho akahwaarukirwa na maraika, hayo yaari mukibhara haguhi ne Ekiguru kya Sinai. Maraika wuyo yaari mukisaka kino kyaari kwaaka omuriro. 31 Musa hano yaruuzi ekisaka kiyo akaruguura bhukongʼu. Akakiisukira kukiisuunza kisi, akiigwa eriiraka ryo Omukuru, riramubhuurira, 32 ‘Enye ni Taatabhugya wa bhazaazi bhaazo, Aburahamu, Isaaka na Yaakobo!’* Hano Musa yiigwiiri gayo, akataanga kurigita kwe ehaha, akoobhoha kurora ekisaka kiyo. 33 Niho Omukuru akamubhuurira, ‘Ruusya ebhikweera bhyaazo, kwo okubha hayo wiimeereeri ni hagiro ahahoreeru. 34 Eheene enye niruuzi enyaako ya abhaatu bhaane bhano bhari Misiri, niigwiiri ekiriro kyaabhu, na neenye niikiri nibhatuurye. Ambe, bhoono ndakutuma ogye Misiri.’†
35 “Musa wuyo, niwe wurya abhaatu bhakamwaanga, bhakabhuga, ‘Ni weewi wuno yakutuuriri obhe omukaangati weetu no omutaania weetu?’ Niwe wuno Taatabhugya yamutumiri abhe omukaangati waabhu no omutuurya waabhu, kwe enzira ya maraika wuno yamuhwaarukiiri mukisaka kiyo! 36 Musa niwe, akabhakaangata okubharuusya mukyaaro kya Misiri, kwo okukora ebhiruguuro ne ebhyeerekenio bhyaaru, na mu Nyaanza ya Shamu,‡ na mukibhara kwiibhaga rye emyaaka miroongo ene (40). 37 Musa wuyo niwe akabhabhuurira Abhiiziraeri kubha, ‘Taatabhugya arabhasorera omurooti kya neenye, kurwa gati wa abhahiiri bheenyu, [mumwiitegeerere ewe].’§ 38 Niwe wuno yaari hamwe ne esaango ya Abhiiziraeri mukibhara. Na niwe akakeerenia na maraika mu Kiguru kya Sinai, akasuungʼaana amangʼana go obhuhoru, okubha atuhe etwe.
39 “Bhazaazi bheetu, bhakaanga okumwiigwa Musa, bhakamutuura embarika, bhakabha ne enaamba muziikoro zyaabhu kukyoora Misiri. 40 Bhakamubhuurira Haruuni, ‘Otukorere emisaambwa gyo okubhaazwa, gino giraatukaangate munzira, kwo okubha Musa wuno yatukaangatiri kurwa Misiri, tutamenyiri amangʼana gano gaamubhweeni!’* 41 Kuziisiku ziyo bhakakora omusaambwa gwo okubhaazwa guno gutuubheeni ne ekimoori kye engʼoombe. Bhakaguruusirya ekimweeso no okuzomererwa kwe ekigiro kino bhaakikoriri kwa amabhoko gaabhu abheene! 42 Ambe, Taatabhugya akiikyoora, akabhatiga bhaseengere eryoobha, omweeri ne eziinzota, niigo ekaamirwe mukitabhu kya abharooti,
‘Emwe abhaatu bha Iziraeri,
hano mwaari mukibhara,
muhaanigwaagira emitugo na muhaaniruusirya ekimweeso
kwiibhaga rye emyaaka miroongo ene (40)?
43 Muhaageenda eno mugegiri eriibhuru ryo omusaambwa gweenyu Moreki,
eno mune enzota yo omusaambwa gweenyu Refani,
ne emisaambwa gyo okubhaazwa
gino mukiikorera abheene no okugiseengera.
Kweego, ndabhahira kure bhukongʼu
kuhitiira omugye gwa Babeeri.’†”
44 Sitefano akageenderera kugaamba, “Mukibhara eyo, bhazaazi bheetu bhayo, bhahaabha bharagya ne eriibhuru ryo okumuseengera Taatabhugya. Taatabhugya yaari amubhuuriiri Musa akore kyeego yaari amweerekirye. 45 Okumara, bhazaazi bheetu bhano bhaakaangatiibhwe na Yoshua, bhakarisuungʼaana eriibhuru. Nabho bhakarireeta mukyaaro kino, hano bhaaruusirye mubhyaaro bhino Taatabhugya yakaangatiri kubhaheebha embere waabhu. Rikasaaga mukyaaro kyaabhu kiyo, tee kuziisiku zyo omutemi Daudi. 46 Daudi akazomererwa na Taatabhugya, woosi akamusabha amwoombokere Taatabhugya wa Yaakobo eriiseengerero. 47 Nawe omwoomboki we enyuumba yiyo yaari omutemi Soromooni.
48 “Naabhe ego, Taatabhugya Wuno Ari Iguru we Ebhigiro Bhyoosi, na ewe atakwiikara muziinyuumba zino zyoombokirwe na amabhoko ga abhaatu. Ni kyeego omurooti yabhugiri,
49 ‘Omukuru arabhuga,
Eriisaaro nikyo ekituumbi kyaane kyo obhutemi,
ne ekyaaro ni hagiro haane ho okutuura amaguru gaane.
Bhoono, muraniombokera enyuumba ya tuubhoki?
Ahagiro haane ho okumuunya harabha hayi?
50 Bhino bhyoosi, tiinye omweene nikabhiteema kwa amabhoko gaane?’‡”
51 Sitefano akageenderera kugaamba, “Emwe ni bhazabhuri abhakuru! Eziikoro na amatwi geenyu ni kya garya ga abhapagaani. Eziisiku zoosi muramuhakania Ekoro Muhoreeru, kyeego bhazaazi bheenyu bhoosi bhaari kumuhakania! 52 Bhoono, ariho omurooti naabhe owumwe wuno bhataamunyaakirye? Bhakabhiita naabhe abharooti bhe ekare bhano bhaari bhararwaazira okuuza Mweene Heene wa Taatabhugya! Na wuyo niwe wuno emwe mukamwaanga no okumwiita! 53 Emwe mumariri kusuungʼaana emigiro gya Taatabhugya kwe enzira ya bhamaraika bhaaye, nawe mutaagigwaatiri.”

54 Hano abhakuru bha Abhayahudi bhayo bhiigwiiri amangʼana ga Sitefano, bhakatiinda bhukongʼu, bhakasaanania ameeno gaabhu kwo obhururu. 55 Nawe Sitefano akabha yiizwiiri Ekoro Muhoreeru, akarora iguru kwiisaaro, akarora obhuguungo bhwa Taatabhugya na Yeesu yiimeereeri orubhaara rwo obhuryo rwa Taatabhugya. 56 Niho akabhuga, “Murore!
