RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?”
1 EL príncipe de los sacerdotes dijo entonces: ¿Es esto así?
2 And Stephen said: “Noble brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he stayed in Haran.
2 Y él dijo: Varones hermanos y padres, oid: El Dios de la gloria apareció á nuestro padre Abraham, estando en Mesopotamia, antes que morase en Chârán,
3 And God said to him, ‘Depart from your country and from your kindred, and go into the land that I will show to you.’
3 Y le dijo: Sal de tu tierra y de tu parentela, y ven á la tierra que te mostraré.
4 Then he went away from the land of the Chaldeans, and he lived at Haran. And later, after his father was dead, God brought him into this land, in which you now dwell.
4 Entonces salió de la tierra de los Caldeos, y habitó en Chârán: y de allí, muerto su padre, le traspasó á esta tierra, en la cual vosotros habitáis ahora;
5 And he gave him no inheritance in it, not even the space of one step. But he promised to give it to him as a possession, and to his offspring after him, though he did not have a son.
5 Y no le dió herencia en ella, ni aun para asentar un pie: mas le prometió que se la daría en posesión, y á su simiente después de él, no teniendo hijo.
6 Then God told him that his offspring would be a settler in a foreign land, and that they would subjugate them, and treat them badly, for four hundred years.
6 Y hablóle Dios así: Que su simiente sería extranjera en tierra ajena, y que los reducirían á servidumbre y maltratarían, por cuatrocientos años.
7 ‘And the nation whom they will serve, I will judge,’ said the Lord. ‘And after these things, they shall depart and shall serve me in this place.’
7 Mas yo juzgaré, dijo Dios, la nación á la cual serán siervos: y después de esto saldrán y me servirán en este lugar.
8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so he conceived Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. And Isaac conceived Jacob, and Jacob, the twelve Patriarchs.
8 Y dióle el pacto de la circuncisión: y así [Abraham] engendró á Isaac, y le circuncidó al octavo día; é Isaac á Jacob, y Jacob á los doce patriarcas.
9 And the Patriarchs, being jealous, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him.
9 Y los patriarcas, movidos de envidia, vendieron á José para Egipto; mas Dios era con él,
10 And he rescued him from all his tribulations. And he gave him grace and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And he appointed him as governor over Egypt and over all his house.
10 Y le libró de todas sus tribulaciones, y le dió gracia y sabiduría en la presencia de Faraón, rey de Egipto, el cual le puso por gobernador sobre Egipto, y sobre toda su casa.
11 Then a famine occurred in all of Egypt and Canaan, and a great tribulation. And our fathers did not find food.
11 Vino entonces hambre en toda la tierra de Egipto y de Canaán, y grande tribulación; y nuestros padres no hallaban alimentos.
12 But when Jacob had heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers first.
12 Y como oyese Jacob que había trigo en Egipto, envió á nuestros padres la primera vez.
13 And on the second occasion, Joseph was recognized by his brothers, and his ancestry was made manifest to Pharaoh.
13 Y en la segunda, José fué conocido de sus hermanos, y fué sabido de Faraón el linaje de José.
14 Then Joseph sent for and brought his father Jacob, with all his kindred, seventy-five souls.
14 Y enviando José, hizo venir á su padre Jacob, y á toda su parentela, en [número de] setenta y cinco personas.
15 And Jacob descended into Egypt, and he passed away, and so did our fathers.
15 Así descendió Jacob á Egipto, donde murió él y nuestros padres;
16 And they crossed over into Shechem, and they were placed in the sepulcher which Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor, the son of Shechem.
16 Los cuales fueron trasladados á Sichêm, y puestos en el sepulcro que compró Abraham á precio de dinero de los hijos de Hemor de Sichêm.
17 And when the time of the Promise that God had revealed to Abraham drew near, the people increased and were multiplied in Egypt,
17 Mas como se acercaba el tiempo de la promesa, la cual Dios había jurado á Abraham, el pueblo creció y multiplicóse en Egipto,
18 even until another king, who did not know Joseph, rose up in Egypt.
18 Hasta que se levantó otro rey en Egipto que no conocía á José.
19 This one, encompassing our kindred, afflicted our fathers, so that they would expose their infants, lest they be kept alive.
19 Este, usando de astucia con nuestro linaje, maltrató á nuestros padres, á fin de que pusiesen á peligro [de muerte] sus niños, para que cesase la generación.
20 In the same time, Moses was born. And he was in the grace of God, and he was nourished for three months in the house of his father.
20 En aquel mismo tiempo nació Moisés, y fué agradable á Dios: y fué criado tres meses en casa de su padre.
21 Then, having been abandoned, the daughter of Pharaoh took him in, and she raised him as her own son.
21 Mas siendo puesto al peligro, la hija de Faraón le tomó, y le crió como á hijo suyo.
22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. And he was mighty in his words and in his deeds.
22 Y fué enseñado Moisés en toda la sabiduría de los egipcios; y era poderoso en sus dichos y hechos.
23 But when forty years of age were completed in him, it rose up in his heart that he should visit his brothers, the sons of Israel.
23 Y cuando hubo cumplido la edad de cuarenta años, le vino voluntad de visitar á sus hermanos los hijos de Israel.
24 And when he had seen a certain one suffering injury, he defended him. And striking the Egyptian, he wrought a retribution for him who was enduring the injury.
24 Y como vió á uno que era injuriado, defendióle, é hiriendo al Egipcio, vengó al injuriado.
25 Now he supposed that his brothers would understand that God would grant them salvation through his hand. But they did not understand it.
25 Pero él pensaba que sus hermanos entendían que Dios les había de dar salud por su mano; mas ellos no [lo] habían entendido.
26 So truly, on the following day, he appeared before those who were arguing, and he would have reconciled them in peace, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. So why would you harm one another?’
26 Y al día siguiente, riñendo ellos, se les mostró, y los ponía en paz, diciendo: Varones, hermanos sois, ¿por qué os injuriáis los unos á los otros?
27 But he who was causing the injury to his neighbor rejected him, saying: ‘Who has appointed you as leader and judge over us?
27 Entonces el que injuriaba á su prójimo, le rempujó, diciendo: ¿Quién te ha puesto por príncipe y juez sobre nosotros?
28 Could it be that you want to kill me, in the same way that you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
28 ¿Quieres tú matarme, como mataste ayer al Egipcio?
29 Then, at this word, Moses fled. And he became a foreigner in the land of Midian, where he produced two sons.
29 A esta palabra Moisés huyó, y se hizo extranjero en tierra de Madián, donde engendró dos hijos.
30 And when forty years were completed, there appeared to him, in the desert of Mount Sinai, an Angel, in a flame of fire in a bush.
30 Y cumplidos cuarenta años, un ángel le apareció en el desierto del monte Sina, en fuego de llama de una zarza.
31 And upon seeing this, Moses was amazed at the sight. And as he drew near in order to gaze at it, the voice of the Lord came to him, saying:
31 Entonces Moisés mirando, se maravilló de la visión: y llegándose para considerar, fué hecha á él voz del Señor:
32 ‘I am the God of your fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ And Moses, being made to tremble, did not dare to look.
32 Yo soy el Dios de tus padres, el Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Isaac, y el Dios de Jacob. Mas Moisés, temeroso, no osaba mirar.
33 But the Lord said to him: ‘Loosen the shoes from your feet. For the place in which you stand is holy ground.
33 Y le dijo el Señor: Quita los zapatos de tus pies, porque el lugar en que estás es tierra santa.
34 Certainly, I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning. And so, I am coming down to free them. And now, go forth and I will send you into Egypt.’
34 He visto, he visto la aflicción de mi pueblo que está en Egipto, y he oído el gemido de ellos, y he descendido para librarlos. Ahora pues, ven, te enviaré á Egipto.
35 This Moses, whom they rejected by saying, ‘Who has appointed you as leader and judge?’ is the one God sent to be leader and redeemer, by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush.
35 A este Moisés, al cual habían rehusado, diciendo: ¿Quién te ha puesto por príncipe y juez? á éste envió Dios por príncipe y redentor con la mano del ángel que le apareció en la zarza.
36 This man led them out, accomplishing signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and at the Red Sea, and in the desert, for forty years.
36 Este los sacó, habiendo hecho prodigios y milagros en la tierra de Egipto, y en el mar Bermejo, y en el desierto por cuarenta años.
37 This is Moses, who said to the sons of Israel: ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your own brothers. You shall listen to him.’
37 Este es el Moisés, el cual dijo á los hijos de Israel: Profeta os levantará el Señor Dios vuestro de vuestros hermanos, como yo; á él oiréis.
38 This is he who was in the Church in the wilderness, with the Angel who was speaking to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. It is he who received the words of life to give to us.
38 Este es aquél que estuvo en la congregación en el desierto con el ángel que le hablaba en el monte Sina, y con nuestros padres; y recibió las palabras de vida para darnos:
39 It is he whom our fathers were not willing to obey. Instead, they rejected him, and in their hearts they turned away toward Egypt,
39 Al cual nuestros padres no quisieron obedecer; antes le desecharon, y se apartaron de corazón á Egipto,
40 saying to Aaron: ‘Make gods for us, which may go before us. For this Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.’
40 Diciendo á Aarón: Haznos dioses que vayan delante de nosotros; porque á este Moisés, que nos sacó de tierra de Egipto, no sabemos qué le ha acontecido.
41 And so they fashioned a calf in those days, and they offered sacrifices to an idol, and they rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
41 Y entonces hicieron un becerro, y ofrecieron sacrificio al ídolo, y en las obras de sus manos se holgaron.
42 Then God turned, and he handed them over, to subservience to the armies of heaven, just as it was written in the Book of the Prophets: ‘Did you not offer victims and sacrifices to me for forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?
42 Y Dios se apartó, y los entregó que sirviesen al ejército del cielo; como está escrito en el libro de los profetas: ¿Me ofrecisteis víctimas y sacrificios en el desierto por cuarenta años, casa de Israel?
43 And yet you took up for yourselves the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your god Rephan, figures which you yourselves formed in order to adore them. And so I will carry you away, beyond Babylon.’
43 Antes, trajisteis el tabernáculo de Moloch, y la estrella de vuestro dios Remphan: figuras que os hicisteis para adorarlas: os transportaré pues, más allá de Babilonia.
44 The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, just as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, so that he would make it according to the form that he had seen.
44 Tuvieron nuestros padres el tabernáculo del testimonio en el desierto, como había ordenado [Dios], hablando á Moisés que lo hiciese según la forma que había visto.
45 But our fathers, receiving it, also brought it, with Joshua, into the land of the Gentiles, whom God expelled before the face of our fathers, even until the days of David,
45 El cual recibido, metieron también nuestros padres con Josué en la posesión de los Gentiles, que Dios echó de la presencia de nuestros padres, hasta los días de David;
46 who found grace before God and who asked that he might obtain a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
46 El cual halló gracia delante de Dios, y pidió hallar tabernáculo para el Dios de Jacob.
47 But it was Solomon who built a house for him.
47 Mas Salomón le edificó casa.
48 Yet the Most High does not live in houses built by hands, just as he said through the prophet:
48 Si bien el Altísimo no habita en templos hechos de mano; como el profeta dice:
49 ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house would you build for me? says the Lord. And which is my resting place?
49 El cielo es mi trono, y la tierra es el estrado de mis pies. ¿Qué casa me edificaréis? dice el Señor; ¿ó cuál es el lugar de mi reposo?
50 Has not my hand made all these things?’
50 ¿No hizo mi mano todas estas cosas?
51 Stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you ever resist the Holy Spirit. Just as your fathers did, so also do you do.
51 Duros de cerviz, é incircuncisos de corazón y de oídos, vosotros resistís siempre al Espíritu Santo: como vuestros padres, así también vosotros.
52 Which of the Prophets have your fathers not persecuted? And they killed those who foretold the advent of the Just One. And you have now become the betrayers and murderers of him.
52 ¿A cuál de los profetas no persiguieron vuestros padres? y mataron á los que antes anunciaron la venida del Justo, del cual vosotros ahora habéis sido entregadores y matadores;
53 You received the law by the actions of Angels, and yet you have not kept it.”
53 Que recibisteis la ley por disposición de ángeles, y no la guardasteis.
54 Then, upon hearing these things, they were deeply wounded in their hearts, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
54 Y oyendo estas cosas, regañaban de sus corazones, y crujían los dientes contra él.
55 But he, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and gazing intently toward heaven, saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.”
55 Mas él, estando lleno de Espíritu Santo, puestos los ojos en el cielo, vió la gloria de Dios, y á Jesús que estaba á la diestra de Dios,
56 Then they, crying out with a loud voice, blocked their ears and, with one accord, rushed violently toward him.
56 Y dijo: He aquí, veo los cielos abiertos, y al Hijo del hombre que está á la diestra de Dios.
57 And driving him out, beyond the city, they stoned him. And witnesses placed their garments beside the feet of a youth, who was called Saul.
57 Entonces dando grandes voces, se taparon sus oídos, y arremetieron unánimes contra él;
58 And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
58 Y echándolo fuera de la ciudad, le apedreaban: y los testigos pusieron sus vestidos á los pies de un mancebo que se llamaba Saulo.
59 Then, having been brought to his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord. And Saul was consenting to his murder.
59 Y apedrearon á Esteban, invocando él y diciendo: Señor Jesús, recibe mi espíritu. 60 Y puesto de rodillas, clamó á gran voz: Señor, no les imputes este pecado. Y habiendo dicho esto, durmió.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 7:6 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles (Homily XVI)

    See, what a number of years the Promise has been given, and the manner of the Promise, and nowhere sacrifice, nowhere circumcision! He here shows, how God Himself suffered them to be afflicted, not that He had anything to lay to their charge. "And they shall bring them into bondage," etc. But nevertheless, they did not these things with impunity.

    And so it has pleased Divine Providence, as I have said, and as we read in the Acts of the Apostles, that the law enjoining the worship of one God should be given by the disposition of angels.

    And from many other things too one might perceive, that it is not possible for a disembodied soul to remain here.
