Acts 7
1 And the high priest said, Are these things so?
Asked then the high priest; whether (therefore *k*) these things so are?
2 And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
And he was speaking: Men brothers and fathers, do listen. The God of glory appeared to the father of us Abraham being in Mesopotamia before than dwelling of his in Haran,
3 and said unto him, Get thee out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
and He said to him; do go out from the country of you and from the kindred of you and come into (the *no*) land which then to you I may show.’
4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead, [God] removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell:
Then having gone out from [the] land of Chaldeans he dwelt in Haran; And from there And from there after dying the father of him He removed him into land this in which you yourselves now dwell,
5 and he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: and he promised that he would give it to him in possession, and to his seed after him, when [as yet] he had no child.
And not He did give to him an inheritance in it not even [give] [the] length of a foot but He promised to give to him for a possession it and to the descendants of him after him, not there being to him a child.
6 And God spake on this wise, that his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil, four hundred years.
Spoke however (thus *NK(O)*) God that will be the seed of him a sojourner in a land strange and they will enslave it and they will mistreat [it] years four hundred.
7 And the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
And the nation to which (then *NK(o)*) (they will be in bondage, *N(k)O*) will judge I myself, God said and after these things they will come forth and they will serve Me in place this.’
8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so [Abraham] begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
And He gave to him [the] covenant of circumcision; and thus he begat Isaac and circumcised him on the day eighth, and (*k*) Isaac Jacob, and (*k*) Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
9 And the patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him,
And the patriarchs having envied Joseph sold [him] into Egypt; But was God with him
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
and rescued him out of all the tribulations of him and gave to him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt and he appointed him ruler over Egypt and (over *n*) all the house of him.
11 Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
Came then a famine upon all the (land *k*) (of Egypt *N(k)O*) and Canaan and affliction great and not were finding sustenance the fathers of us.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.
Having heard now Jacob [there] is (grain in Egypt *N(k)O*) he sent forth the fathers of us first,
13 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s race became manifest unto Pharaoh.
and on the second time (was recognised by *NK(o)*) Joseph the to brothers of him, and known became to Pharaoh the family (of Joseph. *NK(O)*)
14 And Joseph sent, and called to him Jacob his father, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
Having sent then Joseph he called for Jacob the father of him and all the kindred (of him *k*) in all souls seventy five.
15 And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself, and our fathers;
(And *no*) went down (now *ko*) Jacob into Egypt and died he himself and the fathers of us
16 and they were carried over unto Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
and they were carried over into Shechem and were placed in the tomb (which *N(k)O*) bought Abraham for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor (in *N(k)O*) Shechem.
17 But as the time of the promise drew nigh, which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Even as now was drawing near the time of the promise that (he agreed *N(K)O*) God to Abraham, increased the people and multiplied in Egypt
18 till there arose another king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
until that there arose king another (over Egypt *NO*) who not knew Joseph.
19 The same dealt subtilly with our race, and evil entreated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live.
He having dealt treacherously with the race of us he mistreated the fathers of us making [them] the infants abandon of them unto the not to be given life.
20 At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and he was nourished three months in his father’s house:
In that time was born Moses and he was beautiful to God; who was brought up months three in the house of the father (of him; *k*)
21 and when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
(When was being exposed *N(k)O*) then (he *N(k)O*) took up him the daughter of Pharaoh and brought up him for herself for a son.
22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and works.
And was instructed Moses (in *no*) all [the] wisdom of [the] Egyptians; he was now mighty in words and (in *k*) deeds (of him. *no*)
23 But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
When then was fulfilled to him of forty years a period, it came into the mind of him to visit the brothers of him the sons of Israel.
24 And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:
And having seen a certain one being wronged he defended [him] and he did vengeance for the [one] being oppressed having struck down the Egyptian.
25 and he supposed that his brethren understood how that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.
He was supposing now to understand the brothers of him that God through [the] hand of him is giving salvation to them; but not they understood.
26 And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
On the and following day he appeared to those who were quarreling and (was reconciling *N(K)O*) them to peace having said: Men, brothers are (you yourselves; *k*) why why wrong one another?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
The [one] however mistreating the neighbour pushed away him having said; Who you appointed ruler and judge over (us? *N(k)O*)
28 Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
Surely not to execute me you yourself desire [the] same way you executed yesterday the Egyptian?’
29 And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
Fled then Moses at remark this and became exiled in [the] land of Midian, where he begat sons two.
30 And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
And when were passing years forty appeared to him in the wilderness of the Mount Sinai an angel (of [the] Lord *K*) in a flame of fire of a bush.
31 And when Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord,
And Moses having seen [it] was marvelling at the vision; When is approaching then he to behold [it], there was [the] voice of [the] Lord (to him: *K*)
32 I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
I myself [am] the God of the Fathers of you, the God of Abraham and (the God *k*) of Isaac and (the God *k*) of Jacob.’ Terrified then having become Moses not he was daring to look.
33 And the Lord said unto him, Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
Said then to him the Lord; do take off the sandal of the feet of you; for the place (on *N(k)O*) which you have stood ground holy is.
34 I have surely seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them: and now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
Having seen I saw the oppression of the people of Mine in Egypt and the groans (of them *NK(o)*) I have heard; and I have come down to deliver them; and now come (I may send *N(k)O*) you to Egypt.’
35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent [to be] both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
This Moses whom they rejected having said; Who you appointed ruler and judge?’ — him [whom] God [as] (and *no*) ruler and redeemer (has sent by *N(k)O*) [the] hand of [the] angel who having appeared to him in the bush.
36 This man led them forth, having wrought wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
this one led out them having done wonders and signs in ([the] land of *NK(o)*) (Egypt *N(k)O*) and in [the] Red Sea and in the wilderness years forty.
37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me.
This is the Moses having said to the sons of Israel; A prophet for you will raise up ([the] Lord *K*) God (of you *K(O)*) out from the brothers of you like me myself (of him you will listen to. *K*)
38 This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us:
This is the [one] having been in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who is speaking to him in the Mount Sinai and of the fathers of us who received (oracles *NK(O)*) living to give (to us; *NK(O)*)
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt,
to whom not wanted obedient to be the fathers of us, but they thrust away and they turned back (in *no*) (the hearts *NK(o)*) of them to Egypt,
40 saying unto Aaron, Make us gods which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, which led us forth out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
having said to Aaron; do make us gods who will go before us; As for Moses this who brought out us from [the] land of Egypt, not we know what (happened *N(k)O*) to him.’
41 And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
And they made a calf in the days those and offered a sacrifice to the idol and they were rejoicing in the works of the hands of them.
42 But God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer unto me slain beasts and sacrifices Forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Turned away however God and delivered them to worship the host of heaven, even as it has been written in [the] book of the prophets: Not slain beasts and sacrifices did you offer to Me years forty in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
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.
And You took up the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of the god of you Rephan, the images that you made to worship them; and I will remove you beyond Babylon.’
44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he appointed who spake unto Moses, that he should make it according to the figure that he had seen.
The tabernacle of the testimony was (among *K*) the fathers of us in the wilderness, even as had commanded the [One] speaking to Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
45 Which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered on the possession of the nations, which God thrust out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
which also brought [it] having received by succession the fathers of us with Joshua in the taking possession of the nations whom drove out God from [the] face of the fathers of us until the days of David;
46 who found favour in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling place for the (house *N(K)O*) of Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Solomon however built for Him [the] house.
48 Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in [houses] made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Yet not the Most High in hand-made (temples *K*) dwells, Even as the prophet says:
49 The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: What manner of house will ye build me? saith the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest?
Heaven [is] to Me a throne, (and *NK(o)*) the earth a footstool of the feet of Mine; What kind of house will you build Me? says [the] Lord, or what [is] [the] place of the rest of Mine?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?
Surely the hand of Mine has made these things all?’
51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Stiff-necked and uncircumcised (in the *k(o)*) (hearts *N(k)O*) (of you *o*) and in ears, you yourselves always the Spirit Holy resist, as the fathers of you also you;
52 Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed them which shewed before of the coming of the Righteous One; of whom ye have now become betrayers and murderers;
Which of the prophets not did persecute the fathers of you? And they killed those having foretold about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom now you yourselves betrayers and murderers (have become; *N(k)O*)
53 ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not.
who received the law by [the] ordination of angels and not kept [it].
54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
Hearing now these things they felt cut up in the hearts of them and were gnashing the teeth at him.
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
He being however full of [the] Spirit Holy, having looked intently into heaven saw [the] glory of God and Jesus already standing at [the] right hand of God
56 and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
and he said; Behold I see the heavens (opened up *N(k)O*) and the Son of Man at [the] right [hand] already standing of God.
57 But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
Having cried out then in a voice loud they held the ears of them and rushed with one accord upon him;
58 and they cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
and having cast [him] out of the city they were stoning [him]. And the witnesses laid aside the garments of them at the feet of a young man named Saul
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [the Lord], and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
And [as] they were stoning Stephen he was calling out and saying; Lord Jesus, do receive the spirit of mine.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Having fallen then on [his] knees he cried in a voice loud; Lord, not may place to them this sin. And this having said he fell asleep.
