Acts 7
1 And the high-priest said, Are then these things so?
Ülempreester küsis temalt: „Kas need süüdistused vastavad tõele?“
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 Haran,
Aga Stefanos vastas: „Mehed, vennad ja isad, kuulake mind! Au Jumal ilmus meie isale Aabrahamile, kui ta elas Mesopotaamias, enne Haaranisse siirdumist.
3 and said to him, “Go forth from thy country and thy kindred, and come into the land which I will show thee.”
„Lahku oma maalt ja oma rahva hulgast, “ütles Jumal, „ja mine sinna maale, mida ma sulle näitan!“
4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Haran; and from thence, after his father was dead, he caused him to remove into this land wherein ye now dwell;
Nõnda ta lahkus kaldealaste maalt ja seadis end sisse Haaranis. Pärast tema isa surma saatis Jumal tema sealt siia maale, kus teie nüüd elate.
5 and he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on; and he promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no child.
Jumal ei andnud Aabrahamile siin jalatäitki maad pärandiks. Aga tõotas selle maa anda omandiks talle ja ta järeltulijatele ajal, mil tal lapsi ei olnud.
6 And God spoke in this manner: “That his posterity should sojourn in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into bondage, and ill-treat them four hundred years;
Jumal rääkis nõnda: „Tema järeltulijad elavad võõrana võõral maal ja nad tehakse orjadeks ja neile tehakse kurja nelisada aastat.
7 and the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge,” said God; “and after that they shall come forth, and shall worship me in this place.”
Ja rahvast, keda nad orjavad, mina karistan, “ütles Jumal, „ja pärast seda nad lähevad välja ja teenivad mind selles paigas.“
8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so he begat Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
Ja Jumal andis Aabrahamile ümberlõikamislepingu. Ja Aabrahamile sündis Iisak ja ta lõikas tema ümber kaheksandal päeval. Ja Iisakile sündis Jaakob, ja Jaakobile need kaksteist patriarhi.
9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,
Kuna patriarhid olid Joosepi peale kadedad, müüsid nad ta Egiptusesse orjaks. Ent Jumal oli temaga
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt, and all his house.
ja päästis ta kõigist tema hädadest. Ta andis Joosepile armu ja tarkust vaarao, Egiptuse kuninga ees, ning tema tõstis ta kogu Egiptuse ja terve oma koja valitsejaks.
11 Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress; and our fathers found no Sustenance.
Siis tabas Egiptust ja Kaananit nälg, mis tõi kaasa suuri kannatusi, ja meie isad ei leidnud enam toitu.
12 But Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers first.
Aga kui Jaakob kuulis, et Egiptuses on vilja, läkitas ta meie isad sinna esimest korda.
13 And at the second time Joseph was recognized by his brothers, and the kindred of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
Ja teisel korral rääkis Joosep vendadele, kes ta on, ja vaarao sai teada Joosepi päritolu.
14 Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy five souls.
Pärast seda laskis Joosep enda juurde tuua oma isa Jaakobi ja kogu oma suguvõsa, seitsekümmend viis hinge.
15 And Jacob went down [[into Egypt]], and died, he and our fathers.
Ja Jaakob läks Egiptusesse, kus tema ja meie isad surid.
16 And they were removed to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.
Nende põrmud viidi Sekemisse ja pandi hauda, mille Aabraham oli hõbeda eest ostnud Hamori poegadelt Sekemis.
17 But as the time of the promise drew near, which God solemnly made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Kui lähenes aeg Jumalal täita Aabrahamile antud tõotus, kasvas meie rahvas jõudsasti Egiptuses.
18 until another king arose, who knew not Joseph.
Kuni tõusis Egiptuse valitsejaks teine kuningas, kes Joosepist midagi ei teadnud.
19 The same dealt subtly with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, so that they should cast out their infants, that they might not be preserved alive.
Tema käitus salakavalalt meie rahvaga ja tegi kurja meie esiisadele, sundides neid vastsündinud lapsi ära heitma, et nad sureksid.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly fair; who was nourished in his father's house three months.
Sel ajal sündis Mooses ja ta meeldis Jumalale. Tema eest hoolitseti kolm kuud tema isa majas.
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for herself as a son.
Aga kui ta oli ära heidetud, võttis vaarao tütar tema ja kasvatas enesele pojaks.
22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his worlds and deeds.
Ja Moosesele õpetati kogu egiptlaste tarkust ja tema oli vägev sõnadelt ja tegudelt.
23 And when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.
Kui Mooses oli nelikümmend aastat vana, tuli talle südamesse minna vaatama oma vendade, Iisraeli laste olukorda.
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed by smiting the Egyptian.
Ja nähes ühele ülekohut tehtavat, läks ta teda kaitsma ja lõi egiptlase maha.
25 For he supposed his brethren would understand that God through his hand would give them salvation; but they understood not.
Mooses arvas, et ta inimesed mõistavad, kuidas Jumal teda kasutab nende päästeks, aga nad ei mõistnud.
26 And the next day he showed himself to them as they were contending, and urged them to peace, saying, Ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one another?
Järgmisel päeval kohtas Mooses kaht riidlevat iisraellast. Ta püüdis neid lepitada, öeldes: „Mehed, te olete vennad, miks te tahate üksteisele haiget teha?“
27 But he who was wronging his neighbor thrust him away, saying, “Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
Aga mees, kes teist halvasti kohtles, tõukas ta eemale ja sõnas: „Kes sind on määranud meile valitsejaks ja kohtumõistjaks?
28 Dost thou mean to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian yesterday?”
Kas sa tahad ka mind tappa, nagu sa eile tapsid egiptlase?“
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
Nende sõnade peale Mooses põgenes ja elas võõrana Midjanimaal, ja talle sündis kaks poega.
30 And when forty years were completed, there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai an angel in the flaming fire of a bush.
Ja kui nelikümmend aastat sai täis, ilmus Moosesele ingel Siinai mäe lähedal kõrbes põlevas kibuvitsapõõsas.
31 And Moses seeing it wondered at the sight; and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came [[to him]],
Mooses oli vaatepildist hämmastunud. Ja kui ta läks seda lähemalt uurima, kuulis ta Issanda häält:
32 saying, “I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.” And Moses trembled and durst not behold.
„Mina olen sinu isade Jumal, Aabrahami, Iisaki ja Jaakobi Jumal.“Mooses värises hirmust ega julgenud vaadata.
33 And the Lord said to him, “Loose the sandals from thy feet; for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
Siis ütles Issand talle: „Võta sandaalid jalast, sest paik, kus sa seisad, on püha maa!
34 I have surely seen the oppression of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them; and now, come, I will send thee into Egypt.”
Ma olen küllalt näinud oma rahva rõhumist Egiptuses. Ma olen kuulnud nende oigamist ning olen alla tulnud neid vabastama. Tule nüüd, ma läkitan sind Egiptusesse!“
35 This Moses, whom they denied, saying, “Who made thee a ruler and a judge?” this very man did God send both as a ruler and a redeemer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
Sellesama Moosese, kelle nad olid hüljanud sõnadega: „Kes sind on määranud meile valitsejaks ja kohtumõistjaks?“, sellesama läkitas Jumal neile valitsejaks ja lunastajaks ingli läbi, kes talle oli ilmunud kibuvitsapõõsas.
36 This very man brought them out, working wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
Mooses juhtis nad Egiptusest välja, tehes imesid ja tunnustähti Egiptuses, Punases meres ja kõrbes neljakümne aasta jooksul.
37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, “A prophet will God raise up to you from among your brethren, as he raised up me.”
Ja nii ütles Mooses Iisraeli poegadele: „Jumal tõstab teile teie rahva seast Prohveti, sellise nagu mina.“
38 This is he that was in the assembly in the wilderness with the anger who spake to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received the living oracles to give to us;
Tema oli kõrbes koos ingliga, kes kõneles talle Siinai mäel, ja meie isadega, ning ta võttis vastu elavad sõnad meile edasiandmiseks.
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
Aga meie isad keeldusid talle allumast. Nad tõukasid ta eemale ja pöördusid oma südames tagasi Egiptusesse.
40 saying to Aaron, “Make us gods who shall go before us; for as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.”
Nad ütlesid Aaronile: „Tee meile jumalaid, kes käiksid meie ees. Aga mis puutub vend Moosesesse, kes meid Egiptusest välja tõi, siis me ei tea, mis temaga juhtunud on!“
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
See oli aeg, kui nad tegid vasika kuju. Nad viisid ebajumalale ohvreid ja pidutsesid oma käte tegude üle.
42 But God turned away, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the Prophets, “Did ye offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices for forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Kuid Jumal pöördus neist ära ja jättis nad teenima taeva vägesid. Nõnda on ka prohvetite raamatus kirjutatud: „Kas teie, Iisraeli sugu, tõite mulle ohvreid ja ande nelikümmend aastat kõrbes olles?
43 And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, the figures which ye made to worship them; and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.”
Ei, vaid te võtsite Mooloki telgi ja oma jumala Raifa tähe, kujud, mis te olite teinud kummardamiseks. Seepärast pagendan ma teid teisele poole Paabelit.“
44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, as he that spoke to Moses commanded that he should make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
Meie esiisadel oli tunnistustelk kõrbes. Nõnda nagu oli juhatanud Jumal, kes Moosesel käskis selle teha eeskuju järgi, mida ta oli näinud.
45 which also our fathers received and brought in with Joshua, at their taking possession of the gentiles whom God drove out from before our fathers, until the days of David;
Selle telgi tõid meie isad Joosua juhtimisel endaga kaasa, kui nad võtsid maa rahvastelt, kelle Jumal nende eest minema ajas. Nii see oli Taaveti päevini,
46 who found favor before God, and asked that he might find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
kes elas Jumala soosingus ja palus, et ta leiaks eluaseme Jaakobi soole.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
See oli aga Saalomon, kes ehitas temale koja.
48 Yet the Most High dwelleth not in [[temples]] made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Kuid Kõigekõrgem ei ela kätega tehtud kodades. Nõnda nagu prohvet ütleb:
49 “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What house will ye build for me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my rest?
„Taevas on minu troon ja maa minu jalajäri. Millise koja teie tahate mulle ehitada, ütleb Issand, või kus on mu puhkepaik?
50 Did not my hands make all these things?”
Eks minu käsi ole selle kõik teinud?“
51 Stiffnecked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears! ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do ye.
Te kangekaelsed ja ümberlõikamatud südamelt ja kõrvadelt! Teie seisate alati vastu Pühale Vaimule, nii nagu teie isad, nõnda olete ka teie.
52 Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they slew those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, of whom ye have now become the betrayers and murderers;
Kas on olnud prohvetit, keda teie isad ei ole taga kiusanud? Nad on tapnud isegi need, kes kuulutasid ette Õige tulemist. Ja nüüd olete teie ta ära andnud ja tapnud,
53 ye who received the Law as ordained through angels, and did not keep it.
kes saite Seaduse inglite kaudu, ent ei ole seda pidanud.“
54 But when they heard these things, their hearts were filled with rage, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
Aga kui Suurkohtu liikmed seda kuulsid, lõikas see neil südamesse ja nad kiristasid hambaid.
55 But, being full of the Holy Spirit, he looked up earnestly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Stefanos aga, täis Püha Vaimu, vaatas taevasse ja nägi Jumala kirkust ning Jeesust seismas Jumala paremal käel.
56 and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
„Vaata, “ütles ta, „ma näen taevast avatuna ja Inimese Poega seismas Jumala paremal käel!“
57 And they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
Selle peale nad karjusid valju häälega ja oma kõrvu kätega kinni kattes tormasid nad tema kallale.
58 and having cast him out of the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul;
Nad tirisid ta linnast välja ja viskasid teda kividega. Samal ajal panid tunnistajad oma rõivad ühe noormehe jalge ette, kelle nimi oli Saulus.
59 and they stoned Stephen, making supplication, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Ja nad viskasid kividega Stefanost, kes valjusti palvetas: „Issand Jeesus, võta mu vaim vastu!“
60 And kneeling down he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And saying this, he fell asleep.
Siis ta laskus põlvili ja hüüdis valju häälega: „Issand, ära arva seda pattu neile süüks!“Ja kui ta seda oli öelnud, uinus ta.
