司提反的申辩

大祭司说:“真有这些事吗?” 司提反说:“各位父老兄弟请听!我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕,在美索不达米亚,还没有住在哈兰的时候,荣耀的 神向他显现, 对他说:‘你要离开本地本族,到我指示你的地方去。’ 他就离开迦勒底人的地方,住在哈兰。他父亲死后, 神又叫他从那里迁到你们现在所住的地方。 在这里 神并没有赐他产业,连立足之地也没有。但 神应许把这地赐给他和他的后裔为业,虽然那时他还没有儿子。  神就这样说:‘你的后裔必在外地寄居,人要奴役、虐待他们四百年。’  神又说:‘奴役他们的那个国家,我要亲自惩罚。以后,他们要出来,在这地方事奉我。’  神也赐他割礼为约。这样,亚伯拉罕生了以撒,第八天就给他行了割礼。后来,以撒生雅各,雅各生了十二位祖先。

“祖先妒忌约瑟,把他卖到埃及去,然而 神与他同在, 10 救他脱离一切苦难,使他在埃及王法老面前,有智慧、得恩宠。法老立他为首相,管理埃及和法老的全家。 11 后来埃及和迦南全地遭遇饥荒、大灾难,我们的祖先找不到粮食。 12 雅各听见埃及有谷粮,就派我们的祖先去,这是第一次。 13 第二次的时候,约瑟就向哥哥们表露自己的身世,法老才知道约瑟的家世。 14 约瑟就派人去把他父亲雅各和全家七十五人都接来。 15 于是雅各下了埃及。后来他和我们祖先都死了, 16 运到示剑,埋葬在亚伯拉罕用银子向哈抹子孙买来的坟地里。

17 “ 神给亚伯拉罕的应许快要实现的时候,以色列人在埃及人口繁盛增多; 18 但是,到了另一位不认识约瑟的君王兴起统治埃及的时候, 19 他就谋害我们的同胞,虐待我们的祖先,逼他们拋弃自己的婴孩,不容婴孩存活。 20 就在那时候,摩西出生了,他非常俊美,在父亲的家中抚养了三个月。 21 他被拋弃的时候,法老的女儿把他拾起来,当作儿子抚养。 22 摩西学尽了埃及人的一切学问,说话行事都有能力。

23 “到了四十岁,他心中起了一个念头,要去看望自己的同胞以色列人。 24 当他看见有一个人受欺负,就去护卫,为那受屈的抱不平,打死了那个埃及人。 25 他以为同胞们都必知道 神要借着他的手拯救他们,事实上他们却不知道。 26 第二天,有人在打架,摩西就出面调解,说:‘你们是弟兄,为甚么彼此欺负呢?’ 27 那欺负邻舍的把他推开,说:‘谁立了你作我们的领袖和审判官呢? 28 难道你想杀我,像昨天杀那个埃及人一样吗?’ 29 摩西因为这句话,就逃到米甸地寄居,在那里生了两个儿子。

30 “过了四十年,在西奈山的旷野,有一位使者,在荆棘中的火焰里,向摩西显现。 31 他见了这个异象,十分惊奇;他正上前察看的时候,就有主的声音说: 32 ‘我是你祖宗的 神,就是亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的 神。’摩西战战兢兢,不敢观看。 33 主对他说:‘把你脚上的鞋脱掉,因为你所站的地方是圣地。 34 我的子民在埃及所受的痛苦,我实在看见了;他们的叹息我也听见了,我下来是要救他们。你来,我要派你到埃及去。’ 35 他们拒绝了这位摩西,说:‘谁立了你作领袖和审判官呢?’但 神借着在荆棘中向他显现的使者的手,派他作领袖和救赎者。 36 这人领他们出来,并且在埃及地、红海和旷野,行奇事神迹四十年。 37 以前那位对以色列人说‘ 神要从你们弟兄中间,给你们兴起一位先知像我’的,就是这摩西。 38 那曾经在旷野的大会中,和那在西奈山上对他说话的使者同在,也与我们的祖先同在的,就是他。他领受了活的圣言,传给我们。 39 我们的祖先不肯听从他,反而把他推开,他们的心已经转向了埃及, 40 就对亚伦说:‘给我们做一些神像,可以走在我们前头。因为把我们从埃及地领出来的那个摩西,我们不知道他遭遇了甚么事。’ 41 在那些日子里,他们做了一个牛犊,把祭物献给那偶像,并且因自己手所做的而欢乐。 42 于是 神转身离开,任凭他们事奉天象,正如先知书所说:

‘以色列家啊,

你们在旷野四十年,

岂是将祭牲和祭物献给我呢?

43 你们抬着摩洛的帐幕,

和理番神的星,

就是你们做来敬拜的像。

所以我要把你们放逐到巴比伦那一边去。’

44 “我们的祖先在旷野有作证的帐幕,就是跟摩西谈话的那位指示他,依照他看见的样式做的。 45 我们的祖先相继承受了这帐幕, 神把外族人从他们面前赶走以后,他们就同约书亚把帐幕带进所得为业的地方,直到大卫的日子。 46 大卫在 神面前蒙了恩,就求为雅各的 神找个居所, 47 而由所罗门为他建造殿宇。 48 其实至高者并不住人手所造的,正如先知说:

49 ‘主说:天是我的宝座,

地是我的脚凳,

你们要为我建造怎样的殿呢?

哪里是我安息的地方呢?

50 这一切不都是我手所造的吗?’

51 “你们颈项刚硬、心和耳都未受割礼的人哪!你们时常抗拒圣灵,你们的祖先怎样,你们也怎样。 52 有哪一个先知,你们的祖先不迫害呢?你们杀了那些预先宣告那义者要来的人,现在又把那义者出卖了,杀害了。 53 你们领受了由天使传达的律法,却不遵守。”

司提反被石头打死

54 众人听了这些话,心中非常恼怒,就向着司提反咬牙切齿。 55 但司提反被圣灵充满,定睛望着天,看见 神的荣耀,并且看见耶稣站在 神的右边, 56 就说:“看哪!我看见天开了,人子站在 神的右边。” 57 众人大声喊叫,掩着耳朵,一齐向他冲过去, 58 把他推出城外,用石头打他。那些证人把自己的衣服,放在一个名叫扫罗的青年人脚前。 59 他们用石头打司提反的时候,他呼求说:“主耶稣啊,求你接收我的灵魂!” 60 然后跪下来大声喊着说:“主啊,不要把这罪归给他们!”说了这话,就睡了。

Stephen’s Speech to the Sanhedrin

Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”

To this he replied: “Brothers and fathers,(A) listen to me! The God of glory(B) appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Harran.(C) ‘Leave your country and your people,’ God said, ‘and go to the land I will show you.’[a](D)

“So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Harran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living.(E) He gave him no inheritance here,(F) not even enough ground to set his foot on. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land,(G) even though at that time Abraham had no child. God spoke to him in this way: ‘For four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated.(H) But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.’[b](I) Then he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision.(J) And Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him eight days after his birth.(K) Later Isaac became the father of Jacob,(L) and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.(M)

“Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph,(N) they sold him as a slave into Egypt.(O) But God was with him(P) 10 and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph wisdom and enabled him to gain the goodwill of Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Pharaoh made him ruler over Egypt and all his palace.(Q)

11 “Then a famine struck all Egypt and Canaan, bringing great suffering, and our ancestors could not find food.(R) 12 When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our forefathers on their first visit.(S) 13 On their second visit, Joseph told his brothers who he was,(T) and Pharaoh learned about Joseph’s family.(U) 14 After this, Joseph sent for his father Jacob and his whole family,(V) seventy-five in all.(W) 15 Then Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our ancestors died.(X) 16 Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a certain sum of money.(Y)

17 “As the time drew near for God to fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt had greatly increased.(Z) 18 Then ‘a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.’[c](AA) 19 He dealt treacherously with our people and oppressed our ancestors by forcing them to throw out their newborn babies so that they would die.(AB)

20 “At that time Moses was born, and he was no ordinary child.[d] For three months he was cared for by his family.(AC) 21 When he was placed outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.(AD) 22 Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians(AE) and was powerful in speech and action.

23 “When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his own people, the Israelites. 24 He saw one of them being mistreated by an Egyptian, so he went to his defense and avenged him by killing the Egyptian. 25 Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them, but they did not. 26 The next day Moses came upon two Israelites who were fighting. He tried to reconcile them by saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why do you want to hurt each other?’

27 “But the man who was mistreating the other pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us?(AF) 28 Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’[e] 29 When Moses heard this, he fled to Midian, where he settled as a foreigner and had two sons.(AG)

30 “After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai. 31 When he saw this, he was amazed at the sight. As he went over to get a closer look, he heard the Lord say:(AH) 32 ‘I am the God of your fathers,(AI) the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’[f] Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.(AJ)

33 “Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.(AK) 34 I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’[g](AL)

35 “This is the same Moses they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’(AM) He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 He led them out of Egypt(AN) and performed wonders and signs(AO) in Egypt, at the Red Sea(AP) and for forty years in the wilderness.(AQ)

37 “This is the Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your own people.’[h](AR) 38 He was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel(AS) who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors;(AT) and he received living words(AU) to pass on to us.(AV)

39 “But our ancestors refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.(AW) 40 They told Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who led us out of Egypt—we don’t know what has happened to him!’[i](AX) 41 That was the time they made an idol in the form of a calf. They brought sacrifices to it and reveled in what their own hands had made.(AY) 42 But God turned away from them(AZ) and gave them over to the worship of the sun, moon and stars.(BA) This agrees with what is written in the book of the prophets:

“‘Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
    forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?
43 You have taken up the tabernacle of Molek
    and the star of your god Rephan,
    the idols you made to worship.
Therefore I will send you into exile’[j](BB) beyond Babylon.

44 “Our ancestors had the tabernacle of the covenant law(BC) with them in the wilderness. It had been made as God directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.(BD) 45 After receiving the tabernacle, our ancestors under Joshua brought it with them when they took the land from the nations God drove out before them.(BE) It remained in the land until the time of David,(BF) 46 who enjoyed God’s favor and asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.[k](BG) 47 But it was Solomon who built a house for him.(BH)

48 “However, the Most High(BI) does not live in houses made by human hands.(BJ) As the prophet says:

49 “‘Heaven is my throne,
    and the earth is my footstool.(BK)
What kind of house will you build for me?
says the Lord.
    Or where will my resting place be?
50 Has not my hand made all these things?’[l](BL)

51 “You stiff-necked people!(BM) Your hearts(BN) and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! 52 Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute?(BO) They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him(BP) 53 you who have received the law that was given through angels(BQ) but have not obeyed it.”

The Stoning of Stephen

54 When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious(BR) and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit,(BS) looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.(BT) 56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open(BU) and the Son of Man(BV) standing at the right hand of God.”

57 At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 58 dragged him out of the city(BW) and began to stone him.(BX) Meanwhile, the witnesses(BY) laid their coats(BZ) at the feet of a young man named Saul.(CA)

59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”(CB) 60 Then he fell on his knees(CC) and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.”(CD) When he had said this, he fell asleep.(CE)

Wacdigii Istefanos

Markaasaa wadaadkii sare wuxuu yidhi, Waxanu ma saasaa? Markaasuu ku yidhi, Walaalo iyo aabbayaalow, dhegaysta, Ilaaha Ammaantu wuxuu u muuqday awoweheen Ibraahim markuu Mesobotamiya joogay intuusan Haaraan degin, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ka soo kac waddankaaga iyo dadkaaga, oo kaalay dalka aan ku tusi doono. Markaasuu ka soo kacay dalkii reer Kaldayiin oo wuxuu soo degay Haaraan; oo markuu aabbihiis dhintay ayaa Ilaah meeshaas isaga ka soo wareejiyey oo keenay dalkan aad haatan deggan tihiin, oo dhaxalna kama uu siin, xataa meel uu cagtiisa dhigo; laakiin wuxuu isaga ka ballanqaaday inuu dalka mulki u siiyo isaga iyo farcankiisa ka dambeeyaba, in kastoo uusan dhal lahayn. Ilaah sidan buu u hadlay, in farcankiisu degi doono dal shisheeye, oo iyaga la addoonsan doono, oo afar boqol oo sannadood la dhibi doono. Ilaah wuxuu yidhi, Quruunta iyagu ay u addoonsamaan ayaan xukumi doonaa; markaas dabadeed ayay ka soo bixi doonaan oo meeshan iigu adeegi doonaan. Oo wuxuu isaga siiyey axdiga gudniinta; haddaba Ibraahim wuxuu dhalay Isxaaq, oo maalintii siddeedaad ayuu guday isaga; Isxaaqna wuxuu dhalay Yacquub; Yacquubna wuxuu dhalay laba-iyo-tobankii aynu ka soo farcannay.

Kuwii aan ka soo farcannayna intay Yuusuf ka masayreen ayay waxay ka iibiyeen Masar; 10 laakiin Ilaah baa isaga la jiray oo dhibaatadiisii oo dhan ka samatabbixiyey, oo axsaan iyo xigmad ka siiyey Fircoon, oo ahaa boqorkii Masar; markaasuu isaguna wuxuu isagii taliye uga dhigay Masar iyo reerkiisii oo dhan. 11 Haddaba waxaa Masar iyo Kancaan oo dhan ka wada dhacay abaar iyo dhibaato weyn; awowayaasheenna dhuuni bay ka waayeen. 12 Laakiin markii Yacquub maqlay in Masar sarreen jiro, ayuu markii ugu horraysay awowayaasheen diray. 13 Oo markii labaad waxaa walaalihiis la aqoonsiiyey Yuusuf; markaasaa Fircoon wuxuu gartay Yuusuf qoladiisii. 14 Markaasaa Yuusuf cid u diray oo u yeedhay aabbihiis Yacquub iyo dadkiisii oo dhan oo ahaa shan iyo toddobaatan qof. 15 Markaasaa Yacquub Masar tegey. Isaga qudhiisii waa dhintay iyo awowayaasheenba; 16 waxaana la geeyey Shekem oo la dhigay xabaashii Ibraahim qiimaha lacagta ah kaga iibsaday wiilashii Xamoor oo Shekem joogay.

17 Laakiin markuu soo dhowaaday wakhtigii ballankii Ilaah kula ballamay Ibraahim, ayay dadkii ku soo kordheen oo ku bateen Masar, 18 tan iyo intii boqor kale oo aan Yuusuf oqooni Masar ka kacay. 19 Isaguna waa khiyaaneeyey dadkeenna, awowayaasheenna wuu xumeeyey, oo wuxuuna ku qasbay inay ilmahoodii yaryaraa iska tuuraan si ayan u sii noolaan. 20 Muusena wakhtigaasuu dhashay, oo wuxuu ahaa wax qurux badan; oo saddex bilood ayaa gurigii aabbihiis lagu hayay; 21 markii la tuurayna, Fircoon gabadhiisii ayaa qaadatay oo sidii wiilkeedii oo kale u korsatay. 22 Muusena waxaa la baray xigmaddii Masriyiinta oo dhan; hadalladiisa iyo falimihiisana xoog buu ku lahaa.

23 Laakiin markuu gaadhay afartan sannadood oo buuxa ayaa waxaa qalbigiisa gashay inuu walaalihiis oo reer binu Israa'iil ahaa soo booqdo. 24 Oo markuu arkay midkood oo lagu gardarroonayo, ayuu ka celiyey, oo intuu kii la dulmayay uu aarguday, ayuu Masrigii dilay; 25 oo wuxuu u malaynayay in walaalihiis garteen sida Ilaah gacantiisa iyaga ugu samatabbixinayo, laakiin ma ay garan. 26 Oo maalintii ku xigtay ayuu iyagoo diriraya u yimi, oo wuxuu damcay inuu heshiisiiyo, markaasuu yidhi, Niman yahow, walaalaad tihiine; maxaad isu dulmaysaan? 27 Laakiin kii deriskiisii dulmayay, ayaa isaga iska riixay oo ku yidhi, Yaa nooga kaa dhigay taliye iyo xaakin? 28 Ma waxaad doonaysaa inaad ii dishid sidaad Masrigii shaalay u dishay? 29 Markaasaa Muuse hadalkaas aawadiis cararay, oo sidii ajanabi buu dalka Midyaan u degganaa, meeshaasna laba wiil buu ku dhalay.

30 Markii afartan sannadood dhammaatay dabadeed ayaa waxaa isagii Buur Siinay cidladeedii uga muuqatay malaa'ig ku dhex jirta geed dab ka ololayo. 31 Oo markii Muuse arkay ayuu wuxuu arkay la yaabay, oo intuu u soo dhowaanayay inuu arko, ayaa waxaa u yimid codkii Rabbiga oo leh, 32 Anigu waxaan ahay Ilaaha awowayaashaa, Ilaaha Ibraahim iyo Ilaaha Isxaaq iyo Ilaaha Yacquub. Markaasaa Muuse gariiray oo ku dhici waayay inuu eego. 33 Markaasaa Rabbigu isaga ku yidhi, Kabaha cagahaaga ka furfur; maxaa yeelay, meesha aad ku taagan tahay waa dhul quduus ah. 34 Dadkayga Masar jooga rafaadkooda waan arkay, taahoodana waan maqlay, oo waxaan u imid inaan samatabbixiyo; haddaba kaalay, Masar baan kuu diri doonaaye. 35 Muusahakan ay diideen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Yaa kaa dhigay taliye iyo xaakin? Isagaa Ilaah ugu soo diray gacanta malaa'igtii geedka uga soo muuqatay inuu ahaado taliye iyo samatabbixiye. 36 Kanaa iyaga Masar ka soo saaray, oo yaabab iyo calaamooyin ku sameeyey Masar, iyo Badda Cas, iyo cidlada afartan sannadood. 37 Kanu waa Muusihii ku yidhi reer binu Israa'iil, Ilaah wuxuu walaalihiin idiinka dhex kicin doonaa nebi sidayda oo kale. 38 Kanu waa kii ku dhex jiray kiniisaddii cidlada oo la jiray malaa'igtii isaga kala hadashay Buur Siinay iyo awowayaasheen, kii la siiyey hadallada nool inuu ina siiyo.

39 Isaga awowayaasheen ma ay doonaynin inay addeecaan, laakiin intay iska riixeen ayay qalbigooda geliyeen inay Masar dib ugu jeestaan, 40 oo waxay Haaruun ku yidhaahdeen, Inoo samee ilaahyo ina hor socda; maxaa yeelay, Muusihii inaga soo kaxeeyey dhulka Masar garan mayno waxa ku dhacay. 41 Markaasay waxay wakhtigaas sameeyeen weyl, oo sanamkii waxay u keeneen allabari, oo waxay ku farxeen shuqulkii gacmahoodu sameeyeen. 42 Laakiin Ilaah baa ka jeestay, oo wuxuu faraha uga qaaday inay u adeegaan guutada samada; sida ay ugu qoran tahay kitaabka nebiyada,

Bal reer binu Israa'iilow, afartankii sannadood oo aad cidlada joogteen,
Ma anigaad i siiseen xoolo qalan iyo allabaryo?
43 Weliba waxaad qaadateen taambuuggii Molokh
Iyo xiddigtii ilaaha Remfan,
Oo ah waxyaalihii aad u samaysateen inaad caabuddaan.
Haddaba waxaan idiin kaxayn doonaa Baabuloon shishadeeda.

44 Awowayaasheen waxay cidlada ku hayeen taambuuggii maragga, sidii kii Muuse la hadlay ugu amray isaga inuu u sameeyo sidii qaabkii uu arkay. 45 Kaas ayaa awowayaasheen markoodii la soo qaadeen Yashuuca markay galeen oo qaateen dhulkii quruumihii Ilaah awowayaasheen hortooda ku eryay, ilaa waagii Daa'uud. 46 Daa'uudna Ilaah hortiis ayuu wanaag ka helay, oo wuxuu weyddiistay inuu Ilaahii Yacquub u helo meel uu dego. 47 Laakiinse Sulaymaan baa guri u dhisay.

48 Hase ahaatee Kan ugu sarreeya ma dego guryo gacmo lagu sameeyo; sida nebigu leeyahay,

49 Samadu waa carshigayga,
Dhulkuna waa meeshaan cagaha saarto,
Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Guri caynmaad ii dhisi doontaan?
Ama maxay tahay meeshaan ku nastaa?
50 Miyaan gacantaydu samayn waxyaalahan oo dhan?

51 Idinkan madaxa adag oo aan qalbiga iyo dhegaha laga gudinow, weligiinba Ruuxa Quduuska ah waad hor joogsataan. Sidii awowayaashiin yeeli jireen oo kale ayaad idinna yeeshaan. 52 Bal nebiyada kee baan awowayaashiin silcin? Xataa iyagu waxay dileen kuwii hore u sheegay imaatinka Kan xaqa ah; kan idinku aad haatan gacangeliseen oo disheen. 53 Waxaad sharciga u hesheen sidii wax malaa'igahu hagaajiyeen, laakiinse ma aydnaan xajin.

Dhimashadii Istefanos

54 Haddaba markay waxyaalahaas maqleen way ka xanaaqeen oo u ilka jirriqsadeen isaga. 55 Laakiin isagoo Ruuxa Quduuska ahu ka buuxo ayuu samada aad u fiiriyey, oo wuxuu arkay ammaanta Ilaah iyo Ciise oo midigta Ilaah taagan, 56 oo wuxuu yidhi, Bal eega, waxaan arkayaa samooyinkii oo la furay iyo Wiilkii Aadanaha oo midigta Ilaah taagan. 57 Laakiin markaasay cod weyn ku qayliyeen oo dhegaha furaysteen, oo iyagoo isku wada qalbi ah ku yaaceen isagii. 58 Markaasay intay magaalada ka soo saareen dhagxiyeen; kuwii maragga ahaana dharkoodii waxay ag dhigteen nin dhallinyaro ah oo la odhan jiray Sawlos. 59 Markaasay dhagxiyeen Istefanos oo Rabbiga baryaya oo ku leh, Rabbi Ciisow, ruuxayga qaado. 60 Markaasuu jilba joogsaday oo cod weyn ku qayliyey oo ku yidhi, Rabbiyow, dembigan dushooda ha ka dhigin. Oo markuu sidaas yidhi, ayuu dhintay.
