1 “¿Son ciertas estas acusaciones?” preguntó el sumo sacerdote.
1 The high priest said, “Are these things so?”
2 “¡Hermanos y padres, escúchenme!” respondió Esteban. “Dios apareció en su gloria a nuestro padre Abraham, cuando vivía en Mesopotamia, antes de que se mudara a Harán.
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 “Dios le dijo: ‘Deja tu tierra y tu parentela, y vete a la tierra que yo te mostraré’.
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 Y Abraham se marchó de esa tierra de los Caldeos y vivió en Harán. Después de la muerte de su padre, Dios lo envió aquí a este país donde ahora viven ustedes.
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 Dios no le dio a Abraham una herencia aquí, ni siquiera un metro cuadrado. Pero Dios le prometió a Abraham que le daría a él y a sus descendientes la posesión de la tierra, aunque no tenía hijos.
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 También Dios le dijo que sus descendientes vivirían en un país extranjero y que allí serían tomados como esclavos y maltratados durante cuatrocientos años.
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 Luego Dios dijo: ‘Yo castigaré a la nación que los tome como esclavos. Y al final saldrán de allí y vendrán aquí a adorarme’.
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 Dios también le dio a Abraham el pacto de la circuncisión, y por eso, cuando nació Isaac, Abraham lo circuncidó al octavo día. Isaac fue el padre de Jacob, y Jacob el padre de los doce patriarcas.
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 “Los patriarcas, quienes estaban celosos de José, lo vendieron como esclavo en Egipto. Pero Dios estaba con él,
9 “The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him
10 y lo rescató de todos sus problemas. Le dio sabiduría y lo ayudó a ganar el favor del Faraón, quien lo puso como gobernador sobre Egipto y sobre la casa real.
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 “Entonces hubo una gran hambruna en todo Egipto y Canaán, causando terrible miseria y nuestros padres no tenían alimento.
11 Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.
12 Cuando Jacob escuchó que había grano en Egipto, envió a nuestros antepasados a hacer una primera visita.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
13 Pero durante su segunda visita, José les reveló a sus hermanos quién era, y el Faraón descubrió el origen familiar de José.
13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh.
14 Entonces José envió a buscar a su padre y a todos sus parientes: Setenta y cinco, en total.
14 Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
15 Así que Jacob viajó hacia Egipto, y murió allí, como también nuestros antepasados.
15 Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers;
16 Sus cuerpos fueron traídos de regreso a Siquem y fueron puestos en la tumba que Abraham había comprado con plata de los hijos de Jamor, en Siquem.
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 “Cuando se acercaba el tiempo para el cumplimiento de la promesa que Dios le había hecho a Abraham, el número de los habitantes de Egipto aumentó.
17 “But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Y subió un nuevo rey al trono, que no conocía de José.
18 until there arose a different king who didn’t know Joseph.
19 Este rey se aprovechó de nuestro pueblo y trató mal a nuestros antepasados, obligándolos a abandonar a sus bebés para que murieran.
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 Fue en este tiempo cuando nació Moisés. Era un niño hermoso, y durante tres meses recibió cuidado en la casa de su padre.
20 At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.
21 Cuando llegó el momento de ser abandonado, la hija del Faraón lo rescató y cuidó de él como su propio hijo.
21 When he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and reared him as her own son.
22 “Moisés recibió instrucción en todas las áreas del conocimiento conforme a los Egipcios, y se convirtió en un gran orador y líder.
22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
23 Sin embargo, cuando tenía cuarenta años de edad, decidió visitar a sus parientes, los israelitas.
23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24 Y vio a uno de ellos que era maltratado, por lo cual intervino para defenderlo. Entonces, tomó venganza en favor del hombre y mató al egipcio.
24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
25 Moisés pensaba que sus hermanos, los israelitas, verían que Dios los estaba rescatando a través de él, pero no lo vieron así.
25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.
26 Al día siguiente, cuando llegó, dos israelitas estaban peleando. Entonces trató de hacerlos reconciliar para que dejaran de pelear. ‘¡Señores! ¡Ustedes son hermanos!’ les dijo. ‘¿Por qué se atacan el uno al otro?’
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 “Pero el hombre que había comenzado la pelea empujó a Moisés. ‘¿Quién te puso como guardián de nosotros? ¿Acaso ahora eres nuestro juez?’ le preguntó.
27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
28 ‘¿Vas a matarme como mataste ayer al egipcio?’
28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29 Y cuando escuchó esto, Moisés huyó. Entonces se fue a vivir como exiliado en la tierra de Madián, donde tuvo dos hijos.
29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
30 “Cuarenta años más tarde, en el desierto del Monte Sinaí, un ángel se le apareció en las llamas de una zarza que ardía.
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 Y cuando Moisés vio esto, se sorprendió, y se aproximó para ver más de cerca. Entonces la voz del Señor le habló:
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 ‘Yo soy el Dios de tus padres, el Dios de Abraham, Isaac y Jacob’. Entonces Moisés tembló de temor y no se atrevía a levantar la vista.
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 El Señor le dijo: ‘Quita tus sandalias, porque el lugar donde estás es santo.
33 The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
34 Yo he visto el sufrimiento de mi pueblo en Egipto, y he oído sus clamores. He descendido para rescatarlos. Ahora ven, porque voy a enviarte a Egipto’.
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 “Este fue el mismo Moisés que el pueblo había rechazado cuando dijeron: ‘¿Quién te puso como gobernante y juez sobre nosotros?’ Dios lo envió para que fuera tanto gobernante como libertador, por medio del ángel que se le apareció en la zarza.
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 Entonces Moisés los sacó después de realizar señales milagrosas en Egipto, en el Mar Rojo, y siguió haciéndolo en el desierto durante cuarenta años.
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 Este es el mismo Moisés que le prometió a los israelitas: ‘Dios les enviará un profeta como yo proveniente de su propio pueblo’.
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 Y Moisés estaba con el pueblo de Dios reunido cuando el ángel le habló en el Monte Sinaí, y ahí junto con nuestros antepasados recibió la palabra viva de Dios para que nos la diera a nosotros.
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 Él fue al que nuestros padres no escucharon. Ellos lo rechazaron y decidieron regresar a Egipto.
39 to whom our fathers wouldn’t be obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
40 Y le dijeron a Aarón: ‘Elabora dioses para que nos guíen, porque no sabemos qué ha ocurrido con Moisés, el que nos sacó de la tierra de Egipto’.
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 Entonces elaboraron un ídolo en forma de becerro, le presentaban sacrificios, y celebraban lo que ellos mismos habían hecho.
41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
42 “Así que Dios desistió de ellos. Y los dejó adorar las estrellas del cielo. Esto es lo que escribieron los profetas: ‘¿Acaso ustedes los israelitas me dieron ofrendas o hicieron sacrificios para mi durante los cuarenta años en el desierto?
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 No, ustedes se llevaron el tabernáculo del dios Moloc y la imagen de la estrella del dios Refán, imágenes que ustedes hicieron para adorarlas. Por lo tanto yo los enviaré a exilio hasta más allá de Babilonia’.
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 “Nuestros antepasados tenían el Tabernáculo del testimonio en el desierto. Dios le había dicho a Moisés cómo tenía que hacerlo, siguiendo el modelo que había visto.
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 Más tarde, nuestros antepasados lo llevaron junto con Josué para asentarse en la tierra tomada de las naciones que el Señor expulsó delante de ellos. Y permaneció ahí hasta el tiempo de David.
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 David halló el favor de Dios y pidió hacer una morada permanente para el Dios de Jacob.
46 who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
47 Pero fue Salomón el que construyó un Templo para él.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
48 Por supuesto que el Todopoderoso no vive en los Templos que nosotros hacemos. Como dijo el profeta:
48 However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
49 ‘El cielo es mi trono, y la tierra es el lugar donde pongo mis pies. ¿Qué tipo de morada pueden ustedes construir para mí?’ pregunta el Señor. ‘¿Qué cama podrían hacerme ustedes para descansar?
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 ¿Acaso no lo hice yo todo?’
50 Didn’t my hand make all these things?’
51 “¡Pueblo arrogante y terco! ¡Nunca escuchan! ¡Ustedes siempre pelean contra el Espíritu Santo! ¡Actúan como lo hacían sus padres!
51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.
52 ¿Hubo acaso algún profeta que sus padres no persiguieran? Mataron a todos los que profetizaban sobre la venida de Aquél que es verdaderamente bueno y recto. Él es Aquél a quien ustedes traicionaron y asesinaron.
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 Ustedes, los que recibieron la ley por medio de los ángeles, pero se negaron a guardarla”.
53 You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”
54 Cuando oyeron esto, los miembros del concilio se enfurecieron, y le hacían gruñidos, crujiendo sus dientes.
54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
55 Pero Esteban, lleno del Espíritu Santo, elevó su mirada al cielo y vio la gloria de Dios, y a Jesús a la diestra de Dios.
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 “Miren”, dijo él, “Veo el cielo abierto, y al Hijo del Hombre a la diestra de Dios”.
56 and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
57 Pero ellos taparon sus oídos con sus manos y gritaban tan fuerte como podían. Todos se apresuraron juntos hacia él,
57 But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.
58 lo llevaron a rastras fuera de la ciudad, y comenzaron a apedrearlo. Sus acusadores pusieron sus abrigos junto a un joven llamado Saulo.
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 Y mientras lo seguían apedreando, Esteban oró: “Señor Jesús, recibe mi espíritu”.
59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
60 Entonces se arrodilló, clamando: “¡Señor, por favor no les tengas en cuenta este pecado!” Y después de decir esto, murió.
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.

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).
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 He gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so [Abraham] begat Isaac." And the rest of his words announce the same God, who was with Joseph and with the patriarchs, and who spake with Moses.
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. For both Stephen saith, "Receive my spirit;" and Paul, "To depart and to be with Christ is far better;" and of the patriarch too the Scripture saith, that "he was gathered unto his fathers, being cherished in a good …
