1 ειπεν δε ο αρχιερευς· ει αρα ταυτα ουτως εχει;
1 The high priest said, “Are these things so?”
2 ο δε εφη· ανδρες αδελφοι και πατερες, ακουσατε. ο θεος της δοξης ωφθη τω πατρι ημων αβρααμ οντι εν τη μεσοποταμια, πριν η κατοικησαι αυτον εν χαρραν,
2 He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
3 και ειπεν προς αυτον· εξελθε εκ της γης σου και εκ της συγγενειας σου, και δευρο εις γην ην αν σοι δειξω.
3 and said to him, ‘Get out of your land and away from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’
4 τοτε εξελθων εκ γης χαλδαιων κατωκησεν εν χαρραν. κακειθεν μετα το αποθανειν τον πατερα αυτου μετωκισεν αυτον εις την γην ταυτην εις ην υμεις νυν κατοικειτε·
4 Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land where you are now living.
5 και ουκ εδωκεν αυτω κληρονομιαν εν αυτη ουδε βημα ποδος, και επηγγειλατο δουναι αυτω εις κατασχεσιν αυτην και τω σπερματι αυτου μετ αυτον, ουκ οντος αυτω τεκνου.
5 He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when he still had no child.
6 ελαλησεν δε ουτως ο θεος, οτι εσται το σπερμα αυτου παροικον εν γη αλλοτρια, και δουλωσουσιν αυτο και κακωσουσιν ετη τετρακοσια·
6 God spoke in this way: that his offspring would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.
7 και το εθνος ω εαν δουλευσωσιν κρινω εγω, ειπεν ο θεος· και μετα ταυτα εξελευσονται και λατρευσουσιν μοι εν τω τοπω τουτω.
7 ‘I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,’ said God, ‘and after that they will come out and serve me in this place.’
8 και εδωκεν αυτω διαθηκην περιτομης· και ουτως εγεννησεν τον ισαακ και περιετεμεν αυτον τη ημερα τη ογδοη, και ο ισαακ τον ιακωβ, και ο ιακωβ τους δωδεκα πατριαρχας.
8 He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
9 και οι πατριαρχαι ζηλωσαντες τον ιωσηφ απεδοντο εις αιγυπτον. και ην ο θεος μετ αυτου,
9 “The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him
10 και εξειλετο αυτον εκ πασων των θλιψεων αυτου, και εδωκεν αυτω χαριν και σοφιαν εναντιον φαραω βασιλεως αιγυπτου, και κατεστησεν αυτον ηγουμενον επ αιγυπτον και ολον τον οικον αυτου.
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
11 ηλθεν δε λιμος εφ ολην την γην αιγυπτου και χανααν και θλιψις μεγαλη, και ουχ ευρισκον χορτασματα οι πατερες ημων.
11 Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.
12 ακουσας δε ιακωβ οντα σιτα εν αιγυπτω εξαπεστειλεν τους πατερας ημων πρωτον·
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
13 και εν τω δευτερω ανεγνωρισθη ιωσηφ τοις αδελφοις αυτου, και φανερον εγενετο τω φαραω το γενος του ιωσηφ.
13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh.
14 αποστειλας δε ιωσηφ μετεκαλεσατο τον πατερα αυτου ιακωβ και πασαν την συγγενειαν αυτου εν ψυχαις εβδομηκοντα πεντε.
14 Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
15 κατεβη δε ιακωβ εις αιγυπτον και ετελευτησεν αυτος και οι πατερες ημων,
15 Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers;
16 και μετετεθησαν εις συχεμ και ετεθησαν εν τω μνηματι ω ωνησατο αβρααμ τιμης αργυριου παρα των υιων εμμορ του συχεμ.
16 and they were brought back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.
17 καθως δε ηγγιζεν ο χρονος της επαγγελιας ην ωμοσεν ο θεος τω αβρααμ, ηυξησεν ο λαος και επληθυνθη εν αιγυπτω,
17 “But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
18 αχρι ου ανεστη βασιλευς ετερος, ος ουκ ηδει τον ιωσηφ.
18 until there arose a different king who didn’t know Joseph.
19 ουτος κατασοφισαμενος το γενος ημων εκακωσεν τους πατερας ημων του ποιειν εκθετα τα βρεφη αυτων, εις το μη ζωογονεισθαι·
19 The same took advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to abandon their babies, so that they wouldn’t stay alive.
20 εν ω καιρω εγεννηθη μωυσης, και ην αστειος τω θεω· ος ανετραφη μηνας τρεις εν τω οικω του πατρος αυτου.
20 At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.
21 εκτεθεντα δε αυτον ανειλετο αυτον η θυγατηρ φαραω και ανεθρεψατο αυτον εαυτη εις υιον.
21 When he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and reared him as her own son.
22 και επαιδευθη μωυσης παση σοφια αιγυπτιων, ην δε δυνατος εν λογοις και [εν] εργοις.
22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
23 ως δε επληρουτο αυτω τεσσαρακονταετης χρονος, ανεβη εις την καρδιαν αυτου επισκεψασθαι τους αδελφους αυτου τους υιους ισραηλ.
23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24 και ιδων τινα αδικουμενον ημυνατο, και εποιησατο εκδικησιν τω καταπονουμενω παταξας τον αιγυπτιον.
24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
25 ενομιζεν δε συνιεναι τους αδελφους αυτου οτι ο θεος δια χειρος αυτου διδωσιν αυτοις σωτηριαν· οι δε ου συνηκαν.
25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.
26 τη τε επιουση ημερα ωφθη αυτοις μαχομενοις, και συνηλασεν αυτους εις ειρηνην ειπων· ανδρες, αδελφοι εστε υμεις· ινα τι αδικειτε αλληλους;
26 “The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, ‘Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?’
27 ο δε αδικων τον πλησιον απωσατο αυτον ειπων· τις σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και δικαστην εφ ημων;
27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
28 μη ανελειν με συ θελεις ον τροπον ανειλες χθες τον αιγυπτιον;
28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 εφυγεν δε μωυσης εν τω λογω τουτω και εγενετο παροικος εν γη μαδιαμ, ου εγεννησεν υιους δυο.
29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
30 και πληρωθεντων ετων τεσσαρακοντα ωφθη αυτω εν τη ερημω του ορους σινα αγγελος κυριου εν φλογι πυρος βατου.
30 “When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 ο δε μωυσης ιδων εθαυμαζεν το οραμα· προσερχομενου δε αυτου κατανοησαι εγενετο φωνη κυριου προς αυτον·
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, the voice of the Lord came to him,
32 εγω ο θεος των πατερων σου, ο θεος αβρααμ και ο θεος ισαακ και ο θεος ιακωβ. εντρομος δε γενομενος μωυσης ουκ ετολμα κατανοησαι.
32 ‘I am the God of your fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Moses trembled and dared not look.
33 ειπεν δε αυτω ο κυριος· λυσον το υποδημα των ποδων σου. ο γαρ τοπος εν ω εστηκας γη αγια εστιν.
33 The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
34 ιδων ειδον την κακωσιν του λαου μου του εν αιγυπτω και του στεναγμου αυτων ηκουσα, και κατεβην εξελεσθαι αυτους· και νυν δευρο αποστελω σε εις αιγυπτον.
34 I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.’
35 τουτον τον μωυσην ον ηρνησαντο ειποντες· τις σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και δικαστην; τουτον ο θεος αρχοντα και λυτρωτην απεστειλεν εν χειρι αγγελου του οφθεντος αυτω εν τη βατω.
35 “This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 ουτος εξηγαγεν αυτους ποιησας τερατα και σημεια εν γη αιγυπτω και εν ερυθρα θαλασση και εν τη ερημω ετη τεσσαρακοντα.
36 This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
37 ουτος εστιν ο μωυσης ο ειπων τοις υιοις ισραηλ· προφητην υμιν αναστησει κυριος ο θεος υμων εκ των αδελφων υμων ως εμε· [αυτου ακουσεσθε].
37 This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me.’
38 ουτος εστιν ο γενομενος εν τη εκκλησια εν τη ερημω μετα του αγγελου του λαλουντος αυτω εν τω ορει σινα και των πατερων ημων, ος εδεξατο λογια ζωντα δουναι ημιν.
38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to us,
39 ω ουκ ηθελησαν υπηκοοι γενεσθαι οι πατερες ημων, αλλ απωσαντο και εστραφησαν τη καρδια αυτων εις αιγυπτον
39 to whom our fathers wouldn’t be obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
40 ειποντες τω ααρων· ποιησον ημιν θεους οι προπορευσονται ημων· ο γαρ μωυσης ουτος, ος εξηγαγεν ημας εκ γης αιγυπτου, ουκ οιδαμεν τι γεγονεν αυτω.
40 saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’
41 και εμοσχοποιησαν εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και ανηγαγον θυσιαν τω ειδωλω, και ευφραινοντο εν τοις εργοις των χειρων αυτων.
41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
42 εστρεψεν δε ο θεος και παρεδωκεν αυτους λατρευειν τη στρατια του ουρανου, καθως γεγραπται εν βιβλω των προφητων· μη σφαγια και θυσιας προσηνεγκατε μοι ετη τεσσαρακοντα εν τη ερημω, οικος ισραηλ;
42 But God turned away and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 και ανελαβετε την σκηνην του μολοχ και το αστρον του θεου υμων ρεμφαν, τους τυπους ους εποιησατε προσκυνειν αυτοις· και μετοικιω υμας επεκεινα βαβυλωνος.
43 You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship, so I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’
44 η σκηνη του μαρτυριου ην τοις πατρασιν ημων εν τη ερημω, καθως διεταξατο ο λαλων τω μωυση ποιησαι αυτην κατα τον τυπον ον εωρακει·
44 “Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
45 ην και εισηγαγον διαδεξαμενοι οι πατερες ημων μετα ιησου εν τη κατασχεσει των εθνων ων εξωσεν ο θεος απο προσωπου των πατερων ημων, εως των ημερων δαυιδ·
45 which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations whom God drove out before the face of our fathers to the days of David,
46 ος ευρεν χαριν ενωπιον του θεου και ητησατο ευρειν σκηνωμα τω θεω ιακωβ.
46 who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
47 σολομων δε ωκοδομησεν αυτω οικον.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
48 αλλ ουχ ο υψιστος εν χειροποιητοις ναοις κατοικει, καθως ο προφητης λεγει·
48 However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
49 ο ουρανος μοι θρονος, η δε γη υποποδιον των ποδων μου· ποιον οικον οικοδομησετε μοι, λεγει κυριος, η τις τοπος της καταπαυσεως μου;
49 ‘heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?’ says the Lord. ‘Or what is the place of my rest?
50 ουχι η χειρ μου εποιησεν ταυτα παντα;
50 Didn’t my hand make all these things?’
51 σκληροτραχηλοι και απεριτμητοι τη καρδια και τοις ωσιν, υμεις αει τω πνευματι τω αγιω αντιπιπτετε, ως οι πατερες υμων και υμεις.
51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.
52 τινα των προφητων ουκ εδιωξαν οι πατερες υμων; και απεκτειναν τους προκαταγγειλαντας περι της ελευσεως του δικαιου, ου νυν υμεις προδοται και φονεις γεγενησθε·
52 Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.
53 οιτινες ελαβετε τον νομον εις διαταγας αγγελων, και ουκ εφυλαξατε.
53 You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”
54 ακουοντες δε ταυτα διεπριοντο ταις καρδιαις αυτων και εβρυχον τους οδοντας επ αυτον.
54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
55 υπαρχων δε πληρης πνευματος αγιου, ατενισας εις τον ουρανον ειδεν δοξαν θεου και ιησουν εστωτα εκ δεξιων του θεου,
55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 και ειπεν· ιδου θεωρω τους ουρανους ανεωγμενους και τον υιον του ανθρωπου εκ δεξιων του θεου εστωτα.
56 and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
57 κραξαντες δε φωνη μεγαλη συνεσχον τα ωτα αυτων και ωρμησαν ομοθυμαδον επ αυτον,
57 But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.
58 και εκβαλοντες εξω της πολεως ελιθοβολουν. και οι μαρτυρες απεθεντο τα ιματια [αυτων] παρα τους ποδας νεανιου καλουμενου σαυλου,
58 They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 και ελιθοβολουν τον στεφανον, επικαλουμενον και λεγοντα· κυριε ιησου, δεξαι το πνευμα μου.
59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
60 θεις δε τα γονατα εκραξεν φωνη μεγαλη· κυριε, μη στησης αυτοις την αμαρτιαν ταυτην. και τουτο ειπων εκοιμηθη.
60 He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
