Acts 7
1 And the high priest said, Are these things then so?
tataḥ paraṁ mahāyājakaḥ pr̥ṣṭavān, ēṣā kathāṁ kiṁ satyā?
2 And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
tataḥ sa pratyavadat, hē pitarō hē bhrātaraḥ sarvvē lākā manāṁsi nidhaddhvaṁ|asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm hāraṇnagarē vāsakaraṇāt pūrvvaṁ yadā arām-naharayimadēśē āsīt tadā tējōmaya īśvarō darśanaṁ datvā
3 and said to him, Go out of thy land and out of thy kindred, and come into the land which I will shew thee.
tamavadat tvaṁ svadēśajñātimitrāṇi parityajya yaṁ dēśamahaṁ darśayiṣyāmi taṁ dēśaṁ vraja|
4 Then going out of the land of the Chaldeans he dwelt in Charran, and thence, after his father died, he removed him into this land in which ye now dwell.
ataḥ sa kasdīyadēśaṁ vihāya hāraṇnagarē nyavasat, tadanantaraṁ tasya pitari mr̥tē yatra dēśē yūyaṁ nivasatha sa ēnaṁ dēśamāgacchat|
5 And he did not give him an inheritance in it, not even what his foot could stand on; and promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when he had no child.
kintvīśvarastasmai kamapyadhikāram arthād ēkapadaparimitāṁ bhūmimapi nādadāt; tadā tasya kōpi santānō nāsīt tathāpi santānaiḥ sārddham ētasya dēśasyādhikārī tvaṁ bhaviṣyasīti tampratyaṅgīkr̥tavān|
6 And God spoke thus: His seed shall be a sojourner in a strange land, and they shall enslave them and evil entreat [them] four hundred years;
īśvara ittham aparamapi kathitavān tava santānāḥ paradēśē nivatsyanti tatastaddēśīyalōkāścatuḥśatavatsarān yāvat tān dāsatvē sthāpayitvā tān prati kuvyavahāraṁ kariṣyanti|
7 and the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and serve me in this place.
aparam īśvara ēnāṁ kathāmapi kathitavān, yē lōkāstān dāsatvē sthāpayiṣyanti tāllōkān ahaṁ daṇḍayiṣyāmi, tataḥ paraṁ tē bahirgatāḥ santō mām atra sthānē sēviṣyantē|
8 And he gave to him [the] covenant of circumcision; and thus he begat Isaac and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
paścāt sa tasmai tvakchēdasya niyamaṁ dattavān, ata ishākanāmni ibrāhīma ēkaputrē jātē, aṣṭamadinē tasya tvakchēdam akarōt| tasya ishākaḥ putrō yākūb, tatastasya yākūbō'smākaṁ dvādaśa pūrvvapuruṣā ajāyanta|
9 And the patriarchs, envying Joseph, sold him away into Egypt. And God was with him,
tē pūrvvapuruṣā īrṣyayā paripūrṇā misaradēśaṁ prēṣayituṁ yūṣaphaṁ vyakrīṇan|
10 and delivered him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he appointed him chief over Egypt and all his house.
kintvīśvarastasya sahāyō bhūtvā sarvvasyā durgatē rakṣitvā tasmai buddhiṁ dattvā misaradēśasya rājñaḥ phirauṇaḥ priyapātraṁ kr̥tavān tatō rājā misaradēśasya svīyasarvvaparivārasya ca śāsanapadaṁ tasmai dattavān|
11 But a famine came upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress, and our fathers found no food.
tasmin samayē misara-kinānadēśayō rdurbhikṣahētōratikliṣṭatvāt naḥ pūrvvapuruṣā bhakṣyadravyaṁ nālabhanta|
12 But Jacob, having heard of there being corn in Egypt, sent out our fathers first;
kintu misaradēśē śasyāni santi, yākūb imāṁ vārttāṁ śrutvā prathamam asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣān misaraṁ prēṣitavān|
13 and the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren, and the family of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
tatō dvitīyavāragamanē yūṣaph svabhrātr̥bhiḥ paricitō'bhavat; yūṣaphō bhrātaraḥ phirauṇ rājēna paricitā abhavan|
14 And Joseph sent and called down to him his father Jacob and all [his] kindred, seventy-five souls.
anantaraṁ yūṣaph bhrātr̥gaṇaṁ prēṣya nijapitaraṁ yākūbaṁ nijān pañcādhikasaptatisaṁkhyakān jñātijanāṁśca samāhūtavān|
15 And Jacob went down into Egypt and died, he and our fathers,
tasmād yākūb misaradēśaṁ gatvā svayam asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣāśca tasmin sthānē'mriyanta|
16 and were carried over to Sychem and placed in the sepulchre which Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the [father] of Sychem.
tatastē śikhimaṁ nītā yat śmaśānam ibrāhīm mudrādatvā śikhimaḥ pitu rhamōraḥ putrēbhyaḥ krītavān tatśmaśānē sthāpayāñcakrirē|
17 But as the time of promise drew near which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
tataḥ param īśvara ibrāhīmaḥ sannidhau śapathaṁ kr̥tvā yāṁ pratijñāṁ kr̥tavān tasyāḥ pratijñāyāḥ phalanasamayē nikaṭē sati isrāyēllōkā simaradēśē varddhamānā bahusaṁkhyā abhavan|
18 until another king over Egypt arose who did not know Joseph.
śēṣē yūṣaphaṁ yō na paricinōti tādr̥śa ēkō narapatirupasthāya
19 He dealt subtilly with our race, and evil entreated the fathers, casting out their infants that they might not live.
asmākaṁ jñātibhiḥ sārddhaṁ dhūrttatāṁ vidhāya pūrvvapuruṣān prati kuvyavaharaṇapūrvvakaṁ tēṣāṁ vaṁśanāśanāya tēṣāṁ navajātān śiśūn bahi rnirakṣēpayat|
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly lovely, who was nourished three months in the house of his father.
ētasmin samayē mūsā jajñē, sa tu paramasundarō'bhavat tathā pitr̥gr̥hē māsatrayaparyyantaṁ pālitō'bhavat|
21 And when he was cast out, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and brought him up for herself [to be] for a son.
kintu tasmin bahirnikṣiptē sati phirauṇarājasya kanyā tam uttōlya nītvā dattakaputraṁ kr̥tvā pālitavatī|
22 And Moses was instructed in all [the] wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.
tasmāt sa mūsā misaradēśīyāyāḥ sarvvavidyāyāḥ pāradr̥ṣvā san vākyē kriyāyāñca śaktimān abhavat|
23 And when a period of forty years was fulfilled to him, it came into his heart to look upon his brethren, the sons of Israel;
sa sampūrṇacatvāriṁśadvatsaravayaskō bhūtvā isrāyēlīyavaṁśanijabhrātr̥n sākṣāt kartuṁ matiṁ cakrē|
24 and seeing a certain one wronged, he defended [him], and avenged him that was being oppressed, smiting the Egyptian.
tēṣāṁ janamēkaṁ hiṁsitaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tasya sapakṣaḥ san hiṁsitajanam upakr̥tya misarīyajanaṁ jaghāna|
25 For he thought that his brethren would understand that God by his hand was giving them deliverance. But they understood not.
tasya hastēnēśvarastān uddhariṣyati tasya bhrātr̥gaṇa iti jñāsyati sa ityanumānaṁ cakāra, kintu tē na bubudhirē|
26 And on the morrow he shewed himself to them as they were contending, and compelled them to peace, saying, Ye are brethren, why do ye wrong one another?
tatparē 'hani tēṣām ubhayō rjanayō rvākkalaha upasthitē sati mūsāḥ samīpaṁ gatvā tayō rmēlanaṁ karttuṁ matiṁ kr̥tvā kathayāmāsa, hē mahāśayau yuvāṁ bhrātarau parasparam anyāyaṁ kutaḥ kuruthaḥ?
27 But he that was wronging his neighbour thrust him away, saying, Who established thee ruler and judge over us?
tataḥ samīpavāsinaṁ prati yō janō'nyāyaṁ cakāra sa taṁ dūrīkr̥tya kathayāmāsa, asmākamupari śāstr̥tvavicārayitr̥tvapadayōḥ kastvāṁ niyuktavān?
28 Dost thou wish to kill me as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
hyō yathā misarīyaṁ hatavān tathā kiṁ māmapi haniṣyasi?
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Madiam, where he begat two sons.
tadā mūsā ētādr̥śīṁ kathāṁ śrutvā palāyanaṁ cakrē, tatō midiyanadēśaṁ gatvā pravāsī san tasthau, tatastatra dvau putrau jajñātē|
30 And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in a flame of fire of a bush.
anantaraṁ catvāriṁśadvatsarēṣu gatēṣu sīnayaparvvatasya prāntarē prajvalitastambasya vahniśikhāyāṁ paramēśvaradūtastasmai darśanaṁ dadau|
31 And Moses seeing it wondered at the vision; and as he went up to consider it, there was a voice of [the] Lord,
mūsāstasmin darśanē vismayaṁ matvā viśēṣaṁ jñātuṁ nikaṭaṁ gacchati,
32 I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not consider [it].
ētasmin samayē, ahaṁ tava pūrvvapuruṣāṇām īśvarō'rthād ibrāhīma īśvara ishāka īśvarō yākūba īśvaraśca, mūsāmuddiśya paramēśvarasyaitādr̥śī vihāyasīyā vāṇī babhūva, tataḥ sa kampānvitaḥ san puna rnirīkṣituṁ pragalbhō na babhūva|
33 And the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place on which thou standest is holy ground.
paramēśvarastaṁ jagāda, tava pādayōḥ pādukē mōcaya yatra tiṣṭhasi sā pavitrabhūmiḥ|
34 I have surely seen the ill treatment of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groan, and have come down to take them out of it; and now, come, I will send thee to Egypt.
ahaṁ misaradēśasthānāṁ nijalōkānāṁ durddaśāṁ nitāntam apaśyaṁ, tēṣāṁ kātaryyōktiñca śrutavān tasmāt tān uddharttum avaruhyāgamam; idānīm āgaccha misaradēśaṁ tvāṁ prēṣayāmi|
35 This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who made thee ruler and judge? him did God send [to be] a ruler and deliverer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
kastvāṁ śāstr̥tvavicārayitr̥tvapadayō rniyuktavān, iti vākyamuktvā tai ryō mūsā avajñātastamēva īśvaraḥ stambamadhyē darśanadātrā tēna dūtēna śāstāraṁ muktidātārañca kr̥tvā prēṣayāmāsa|
36 He led them out, having wrought wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
sa ca misaradēśē sūphnāmni samudrē ca paścāt catvāriṁśadvatsarān yāvat mahāprāntarē nānāprakārāṇyadbhutāni karmmāṇi lakṣaṇāni ca darśayitvā tān bahiḥ kr̥tvā samānināya|
37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up to you out of your brethren like me [him shall ye hear].
prabhuḥ paramēśvarō yuṣmākaṁ bhrātr̥gaṇasya madhyē mādr̥śam ēkaṁ bhaviṣyadvaktāram utpādayiṣyati tasya kathāyāṁ yūyaṁ manō nidhāsyatha, yō jana isrāyēlaḥ santānēbhya ēnāṁ kathāṁ kathayāmāsa sa ēṣa mūsāḥ|
38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received living oracles to give to us;
mahāprāntarasthamaṇḍalīmadhyē'pi sa ēva sīnayaparvvatōpari tēna sārddhaṁ saṁlāpinō dūtasya cāsmatpitr̥gaṇasya madhyasthaḥ san asmabhyaṁ dātavyani jīvanadāyakāni vākyāni lēbhē|
39 to whom our fathers would not be subject, but thrust [him] from them, and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,
asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣāstam amānyaṁ katvā svēbhyō dūrīkr̥tya misaradēśaṁ parāvr̥tya gantuṁ manōbhirabhilaṣya hārōṇaṁ jagaduḥ,
40 saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.
asmākam agrē'grē gantum asmadarthaṁ dēvagaṇaṁ nirmmāhi yatō yō mūsā asmān misaradēśād bahiḥ kr̥tvānītavān tasya kiṁ jātaṁ tadasmābhi rna jñāyatē|
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
tasmin samayē tē gōvatsākr̥tiṁ pratimāṁ nirmmāya tāmuddiśya naivēdyamutmr̥jya svahastakr̥tavastunā ānanditavantaḥ|
42 But God turned and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in [the] book of the prophets, Have ye offered me victims and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
tasmād īśvarastēṣāṁ prati vimukhaḥ san ākāśasthaṁ jyōtirgaṇaṁ pūjayituṁ tēbhyō'numatiṁ dadau, yādr̥śaṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ granthēṣu likhitamāstē, yathā, isrāyēlīyavaṁśā rē catvāriṁśatsamān purā| mahati prāntarē saṁsthā yūyantu yāni ca| balihōmādikarmmāṇi kr̥tavantastu tāni kiṁ| māṁ samuddiśya yuṣmābhiḥ prakr̥tānīti naiva ca|
43 Yea, ye took up the tent of Moloch, and the star of [your] god Remphan, the forms which ye made to do homage to them; and I will transport you beyond Babylon.
kintu vō mōlakākhyasya dēvasya dūṣyamēva ca| yuṣmākaṁ rimphanākhyāyā dēvatāyāśca tārakā| ētayōrubhayō rmūrtī yuṣmābhiḥ paripūjitē| atō yuṣmāṁstu bābēlaḥ pāraṁ nēṣyāmi niścitaṁ|
44 Our fathers had the tent of the testimony in the wilderness, as he that spoke to Moses commanded to make it according to the model which he had seen;
aparañca yannidarśanam apaśyastadanusārēṇa dūṣyaṁ nirmmāhi yasmin īśvarō mūsām ētadvākyaṁ babhāṣē tat tasya nirūpitaṁ sākṣyasvarūpaṁ dūṣyam asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣaiḥ saha prāntarē tasthau|
45 which also our fathers, receiving from their predecessors, brought in with Joshua when they entered into possession of [the lands of] the nations, whom God drove out from [the] face of our fathers, until the days of David;
paścāt yihōśūyēna sahitaistēṣāṁ vaṁśajātairasmatpūrvvapuruṣaiḥ svēṣāṁ sammukhād īśvarēṇa dūrīkr̥tānām anyadēśīyānāṁ dēśādhikr̥tikālē samānītaṁ tad dūṣyaṁ dāyūdōdhikāraṁ yāvat tatra sthāna āsīt|
46 who found favour before God, and asked to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob;
sa dāyūd paramēśvarasyānugrahaṁ prāpya yākūb īśvarārtham ēkaṁ dūṣyaṁ nirmmātuṁ vavāñcha;
47 but Solomon built him a house.
kintu sulēmān tadarthaṁ mandiram ēkaṁ nirmmitavān|
48 But the Most High dwells not in [places] made with hands; as says the prophet,
tathāpi yaḥ sarvvōparisthaḥ sa kasmiṁścid hastakr̥tē mandirē nivasatīti nahi, bhaviṣyadvādī kathāmētāṁ kathayati, yathā,
49 The heaven [is] my throne and the earth the footstool of my feet: what house will ye build me? saith [the] Lord, or where [is the] place of my rest?
parēśō vadati svargō rājasiṁhāsanaṁ mama| madīyaṁ pādapīṭhañca pr̥thivī bhavati dhruvaṁ| tarhi yūyaṁ kr̥tē mē kiṁ pranirmmāsyatha mandiraṁ| viśrāmāya madīyaṁ vā sthānaṁ kiṁ vidyatē tviha|
50 has not my hand made all these things?
sarvvāṇyētāni vastūni kiṁ mē hastakr̥tāni na||
51 O stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers, ye also.
hē anājñāgrāhakā antaḥkaraṇē śravaṇē cāpavitralōkāḥ yūyam anavarataṁ pavitrasyātmanaḥ prātikūlyam ācaratha, yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣā yādr̥śā yūyamapi tādr̥śāḥ|
52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain those who announced beforehand concerning the coming of the Just One, of whom ye have now become deliverers up and murderers!
yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣāḥ kaṁ bhaviṣyadvādinaṁ nātāḍayan? yē tasya dhārmmikasya janasyāgamanakathāṁ kathitavantastān aghnan yūyam adhūnā viśvāsaghātinō bhūtvā taṁ dhārmmikaṁ janam ahata|
53 who have received the law as ordained by [the] ministry of angels, and have not kept [it].
yūyaṁ svargīyadūtagaṇēna vyavasthāṁ prāpyāpi tāṁ nācaratha|
54 And hearing these things they were cut to the heart, and gnashed their teeth against him.
imāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā tē manaḥsu biddhāḥ santastaṁ prati dantagharṣaṇam akurvvan|
55 But being full of [the] Holy Spirit, having fixed his eyes on heaven, he saw [the] glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,
kintu stiphānaḥ pavitrēṇātmanā pūrṇō bhūtvā gagaṇaṁ prati sthiradr̥ṣṭiṁ kr̥tvā īśvarasya dakṣiṇē daṇḍāyamānaṁ yīśuñca vilōkya kathitavān;
56 and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.
paśya, mēghadvāraṁ muktam īśvarasya dakṣiṇē sthitaṁ mānavasutañca paśyāmi|
57 And they cried out with a loud voice, and held their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
tadā tē prōccaiḥ śabdaṁ kr̥tvā karṇēṣvaṅgulī rnidhāya ēkacittībhūya tam ākraman|
58 and having cast [him] out of the city, they stoned [him]. And the witnesses laid aside their clothes at the feet of a young man called Saul.
paścāt taṁ nagarād bahiḥ kr̥tvā prastarairāghnan sākṣiṇō lākāḥ śaulanāmnō yūnaścaraṇasannidhau nijavastrāṇi sthāpitavantaḥ|
59 And they stoned Stephen, praying, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
anantaraṁ hē prabhō yīśē madīyamātmānaṁ gr̥hāṇa stiphānasyēti prārthanavākyavadanasamayē tē taṁ prastarairāghnan|
60 And kneeling down, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And having said this, he fell asleep.
tasmāt sa jānunī pātayitvā prōccaiḥ śabdaṁ kr̥tvā, hē prabhē pāpamētad ētēṣu mā sthāpaya, ityuktvā mahānidrāṁ prāpnōt|
