Acts 7
1 And the high-priest said, Are then these things so?
ειπεν δε ο αρχιερευσ ει αρα ταυτα ουτωσ εχει
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,
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
3 and said to him, “Go forth from thy country and thy kindred, and come into the land which I will show thee.”
και ειπεν προσ αυτον εξελθε εκ τησ γησ σου και εκ τησ συγγενειασ σου και δευρο εισ γην ην αν σοι δειξω
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;
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
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.
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
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;
ελαλησεν δε ουτωσ ο θεοσ οτι εσται το σπερμα αυτου παροικον εν γη αλλοτρια και δουλωσουσιν αυτο και κακωσουσιν ετη τετρακοσια
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.”
και το εθνοσ ω εαν δουλευσωσιν κρινω εγω ειπεν ο θεοσ και μετα ταυτα εξελευσονται και λατρευσουσιν μοι εν τω τοπω τουτω
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.
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
9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,
και οι πατριαρχαι ζηλωσαντεσ τον ιωσηφ απεδοντο εισ αιγυπτον και ην ο θεοσ μετ αυτου
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.
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
11 Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great distress; and our fathers found no Sustenance.
ηλθεν δε λιμοσ εφ ολην την γην αιγυπτου και χανααν και θλιψισ μεγαλη και ουχ ευρισκον χορτασματα οι πατερεσ ημων
12 But Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers first.
ακουσασ δε ιακωβ οντα σιτα εν αιγυπτω εξαπεστειλεν τουσ πατερασ ημων πρωτον
13 And at the second time Joseph was recognized by his brothers, and the kindred of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
και εν τω δευτερω ανεγνωρισθη ιωσηφ τοισ αδελφοισ αυτου και φανερον εγενετο τω φαραω το γενοσ του ιωσηφ
14 Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, seventy five souls.
αποστειλασ δε ιωσηφ μετεκαλεσατο τον πατερα αυτου ιακωβ και πασαν την συγγενειαν εν ψυχαισ εβδομηκοντα πεντε
15 And Jacob went down [[into Egypt]], and died, he and our fathers.
κατεβη δε ιακωβ εισ αιγυπτον και ετελευτησεν αυτοσ και οι πατερεσ ημων
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.
και μετετεθησαν εισ συχεμ και ετεθησαν εν τω μνηματι ο ωνησατο αβρααμ τιμησ αργυριου παρα των υιων εμμορ του συχεμ
17 But as the time of the promise drew near, which God solemnly made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
καθωσ δε ηγγιζεν ο χρονοσ τησ επαγγελιασ ησ ωμοσεν ο θεοσ τω αβρααμ ηυξησεν ο λαοσ και επληθυνθη εν αιγυπτω
18 until another king arose, who knew not Joseph.
αχρι ου ανεστη βασιλευσ ετεροσ οσ ουκ ηδει τον ιωσηφ
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.
ουτοσ κατασοφισαμενοσ το γενοσ ημων εκακωσεν τουσ πατερασ ημων του ποιειν εκθετα τα βρεφη αυτων εισ το μη ζωογονεισθαι
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceedingly fair; who was nourished in his father's house three months.
εν ω καιρω εγεννηθη μωσησ και ην αστειοσ τω θεω οσ ανετραφη μηνασ τρεισ εν τω οικω του πατροσ
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for herself as a son.
εκτεθεντα δε αυτον ανειλετο η θυγατηρ φαραω και ανεθρεψατο αυτον εαυτη εισ υιον
22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his worlds and deeds.
και επαιδευθη μωσησ παση σοφια αιγυπτιων ην δε δυνατοσ εν λογοισ και εργοισ
23 And when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.
ωσ δε επληρουτο αυτω τεσσαρακονταετησ χρονοσ ανεβη επι την καρδιαν αυτου επισκεψασθαι τουσ αδελφουσ αυτου τουσ υιουσ ισραηλ
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed by smiting the Egyptian.
και ιδων τινα αδικουμενον ημυνατο και εποιησεν εκδικησιν τω καταπονουμενω παταξασ τον αιγυπτιον
25 For he supposed his brethren would understand that God through his hand would give them salvation; but they understood not.
ενομιζεν δε συνιεναι τουσ αδελφουσ αυτου οτι ο θεοσ δια χειροσ αυτου διδωσιν αυτοισ σωτηριαν οι δε ου συνηκαν
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?
τη τε επιουση ημερα ωφθη αυτοισ μαχομενοισ και συνηλασεν αυτουσ εισ ειρηνην ειπων ανδρεσ αδελφοι εστε υμεισ ινα τι αδικειτε αλληλουσ
27 But he who was wronging his neighbor thrust him away, saying, “Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
ο δε αδικων τον πλησιον απωσατο αυτον ειπων τισ σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και δικαστην εφ ημασ
28 Dost thou mean to kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian yesterday?”
μη ανελειν με συ θελεισ ον τροπον ανειλεσ χθεσ τον αιγυπτιον
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
εφυγεν δε μωσησ εν τω λογω τουτω και εγενετο παροικοσ εν γη μαδιαμ ου εγεννησεν υιουσ δυο
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.
και πληρωθεντων ετων τεσσαρακοντα ωφθη αυτω εν τη ερημω του ορουσ σινα αγγελοσ κυριου εν φλογι πυροσ βατου
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]],
ο δε μωσησ ιδων εθαυμαζεν το οραμα προσερχομενου δε αυτου κατανοησαι εγενετο φωνη κυριου προσ αυτον
32 saying, “I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.” And Moses trembled and durst not behold.
εγω ο θεοσ των πατερων σου ο θεοσ αβρααμ και ο θεοσ ισαακ και ο θεοσ ιακωβ εντρομοσ δε γενομενοσ μωσησ ουκ ετολμα κατανοησαι
33 And the Lord said to him, “Loose the sandals from thy feet; for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
ειπεν δε αυτω ο κυριοσ λυσον το υποδημα των ποδων σου ο γαρ τοποσ εν ω εστηκασ γη αγια εστιν
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.”
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
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.
τουτον τον μωσην 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
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.
ουτοσ εξηγαγεν αυτουσ ποιησασ τερατα και σημεια εν γη αιγυπτω και εν ερυθρα θαλασση και εν τη ερημω ετη τεσσαρακοντα
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.”
ουτοσ εστιν ο μωσησ ο ειπων τοισ υιοισ ισραηλ προφητην υμιν αναστησει κυριοσ ο θεοσ ημων εκ των αδελφων υμων ωσ εμε
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;
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 λογον ζωντα δουναι ημιν
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
ω ουκ ηθελησαν υπηκοοι γενεσθαι οι πατερεσ ημων αλλ απωσαντο και εστραφησαν τη καρδια αυτων εισ αιγυπτον
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.”
ειποντεσ τω ααρων ποιησον ημιν θεουσ οι προπορευσονται ημων ο γαρ μωσησ ουτοσ οσ εξηγαγεν ημασ εκ γησ αιγυπτου ουκ οιδαμεν τι γεγονεν αυτω
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
και εμοσχοποιησαν εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ και ανηγαγον θυσιαν τω ειδωλω και ευφραινοντο εν τοισ εργοισ των χειρων αυτων
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?
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
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.”
και ανελαβετε την σκηνην του μολοχ και το αστρον του θεου υμων ρεμφαν τουσ τυπουσ ουσ εποιησατε προσκυνειν αυτοισ και μετοικιω υμασ επεκεινα βαβυλωνοσ
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;
η σκηνη του μαρτυριου ην τοισ πατρασιν ημων εν τη ερημω καθωσ διεταξατο ο λαλων τω μωση ποιησαι αυτην κατα τον τυπον ον εωρακει
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;
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
46 who found favor before God, and asked that he might find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
οσ ευρεν χαριν ενωπιον του θεου και ητησατο ευρειν σκηνωμα τω θεω ιακωβ
47 But Solomon built him a house.
σολομων δε ωκοδομησεν αυτω οικον
48 Yet the Most High dwelleth not in [[temples]] made with hands; as saith the prophet,
αλλ ουχ ο υψιστοσ εν χειροποιητοισ ναοισ κατοικει καθωσ ο προφητησ λεγει
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?
ο ουρανοσ μοι θρονοσ η δε γη υποποδιον των ποδων μου ποιον οικον οικοδομησετε μοι λεγει κυριοσ η τισ τοποσ τησ καταπαυσεωσ μου
50 Did not my hands make all these things?”
ουχι η χειρ μου εποιησεν ταυτα παντα
51 Stiffnecked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears! ye do always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do ye.
σκληροτραχηλοι και απεριτμητοι τη καρδια και τοισ ωσιν υμεισ αει τω πνευματι τω αγιω αντιπιπτετε ωσ οι πατερεσ υμων και υμεισ
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;
τινα των προφητων ουκ εδιωξαν οι πατερεσ υμων και απεκτειναν τουσ προκαταγγειλαντασ περι τησ ελευσεωσ του δικαιου ου νυν υμεισ προδοται και φονεισ γεγενησθε
53 ye who received the Law as ordained through angels, and did not keep it.
οιτινεσ ελαβετε τον νομον εισ διαταγασ αγγελων και ουκ εφυλαξατε
54 But when they heard these things, their hearts were filled with rage, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
ακουοντεσ δε ταυτα διεπριοντο ταισ καρδιαισ αυτων και εβρυχον τουσ οδοντασ επ αυτον
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,
υπαρχων δε πληρησ πνευματοσ αγιου ατενισασ εισ τον ουρανον ειδεν δοξαν θεου και ιησουν εστωτα εκ δεξιων του θεου
56 and said, Lo, I behold the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
και ειπεν ιδου θεωρω τουσ ουρανουσ ανεωγμενουσ και τον υιον του ανθρωπου εκ δεξιων εστωτα του θεου
57 And they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
κραξαντεσ δε φωνη μεγαλη συνεσχον τα ωτα αυτων και ωρμησαν ομοθυμαδον επ αυτον
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;
και εκβαλοντεσ εξω τησ πολεωσ ελιθοβολουν και οι μαρτυρεσ απεθεντο τα ιματια παρα τουσ ποδασ νεανιου καλουμενου σαυλου
59 and they stoned Stephen, making supplication, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
και ελιθοβολουν τον στεφανον επικαλουμενον και λεγοντα κυριε ιησου δεξαι το πνευμα μου
60 And kneeling down he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And saying this, he fell asleep.
θεισ δε τα γονατα εκραξεν φωνη μεγαλη κυριε μη στησησ αυτοισ την αμαρτιαν ταυτην και τουτο ειπων εκοιμηθη
