Acts 7
1 Asked then the high priest; whether (therefore *k*) these things so are?
Then sayde ye chefe prest: is it even so?
2 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,
And he sayde: ye men brethren and fathers harken to. The God of glory appered vnto oure father Abraha whyll he was yet in Mesopotamia before he dwelt in Charran
3 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.’
and sayd vnto him: come out of thy contre and from thy kynred and come into the londe which I shall shewe the.
4 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,
Then came he out of the londe of Chaldey and dwelt in Charran. And after that assone as his father was deed he brought him into this lande in which ye now dwell
5 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.
and he gave him none inheritaunce in it no not the bredeth of a fote: but promised yt he wolde geve it to him to possesse and to his seed after him when as yet he had no chylde.
6 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.
God verely spake on this wyse that his seade shulde be a dweller in a straunge londe and that they shulde kepe them in bondage and entreate them evyll. iiii. C. yeares.
7 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.’
But the nacion to whom they shalbe in bondage will I iudge sayde God. And after that shall they come forthe and serve me in this place.
8 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.
And he gave him the covenaunt of circumcision. And he begat Isaac and circumcised him the viii. daye and Isaac begat Iacob and Iacob the twelve patriarkes
9 And the patriarchs having envied Joseph sold [him] into Egypt; But was God with him
And the patriarkes havinge indignacio solde Ioseph into Egipte. And God was with him
10 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.
and delivered him out of all his adversities. And gave him faveour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao kynge of Egipte which made him governer over Egipte and over all his housholde.
11 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.
Then came ther a derth over all the londe of Egipt and Canaan and great affliccion that our fathers founde no sustenauce.
12 Having heard now Jacob [there] is (grain in Egypt *N(k)O*) he sent forth the fathers of us first,
But when Iacob hearde that ther was corne in Egipte he sent oure fathers fyrst
13 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)*)
and at the seconde tyme Ioseph was knowen of his brethren and Iosephs kynred was made knowne vnto Pharao.
14 Having sent then Joseph he called for Jacob the father of him and all the kindred (of him *k*) in all souls seventy five.
Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought and all his kynne thre score and xv. soules.
15 (And *no*) went down (now *ko*) Jacob into Egypt and died he himself and the fathers of us
And Iacob descended into Egipte and dyed bothe he and oure fathers
16 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.
and were translated into Sichem ond were put in ye sepulcre that Abraham bought for money of the sonnes of Emor at Sichem.
17 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
When ye tyme of ye promes drue nye (which God had sworme to Abraham) the people grewe and multiplied in Egipte
18 until that there arose king another (over Egypt *NO*) who not knew Joseph.
till another kynge arose which knewe not of Ioseph.
19 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.
The same dealte suttelly with oure kynred and evyll intreated oure fathers and made them to cast oute their younge chyldren that they shuld not remayne alyve.
20 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*)
The same tyme was Moses borne and was a proper childe in ye sight of God which was norisshed vp in his fathers housse thre monethes.
21 (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.
When he was cast out Pharoes doughter toke him vp and norisshed him vp for her awne sonne.
22 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*)
And Moses was learned in all maner wisdome of the Egipcians and was mighty in dedes and in wordes.
23 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.
And when he was full forty yeare olde it came into his hert to visit his brethren the chyldren of Israhel.
24 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.
And when he sawe one of them suffre wronge he defended him and avenged his quarell that had the harme done to him and smote the Egypcian.
25 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.
For he supposed hys brethren wolde have vnderstonde how yt God by his hondes shuld save them But they vnderstode not.
26 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?
And the next daye he shewed him selfe vnto the as they strove and wolde have set the at one agayne sayinge: Syrs ye are brethren why hurte ye one another?
27 The [one] however mistreating the neighbour pushed away him having said; Who you appointed ruler and judge over (us? *N(k)O*)
But he that dyd his neghbour wronge thrust him awaye sayinge: who made ye a rular and a iudge amonge vs?
28 Surely not to execute me you yourself desire [the] same way you executed yesterday the Egyptian?’
What wilt thou kyll me as thou dyddest the Egyptian yester daye?
29 Fled then Moses at remark this and became exiled in [the] land of Midian, where he begat sons two.
Then fleed Moses at that sayenge and was a stranger in the londe of Madian where he begat two sonnes.
30 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.
And when. xl. yeares were expired ther appered to him in the wyldernes of mounte Syna an angell of the Lorde in a flamme of fyre in a busshe.
31 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*)
When Moses sawe it he wondred at the syght. And as he drue neare to beholde the voyce of the Lorde came vnto him:
32 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.
I am ye God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob. Moses trembled and durst not beholde.
33 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.
Then sayde ye Lorde to him: Put of thy showes from thy fete for the place where thou stondest is holy grounde.
34 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.’
I have perfectly sene the affliccion of my people which is in Egypte and I have hearde their gronynge and am come doune to delyver them. And now come and I will sende the into Egypte.
35 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.
This Moses whom they forsoke sayinge: who made the a ruelar and a iudge: the same God sent bothe a ruler and delyverer by ye hondes of the angell which appered to him in the busshe.
36 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.
And the same brought them out shewynge wonders and signes in Egypte and in the reed see and in the wyldernes. xl. yeares.
37 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*)
This is that Moses which sayde vnto the chyldre of Israel: A Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you of youre brethren lyke vnto me him shall ye heare.
38 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)*)
This is he that was in ye congregacion in the wyldernes with the angell which spake to him in ye moute Syna and with oure fathers. This man receaved the worde of lyfe to geve vnto vs
39 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,
to who oure fathers wolde not obeye but cast it from them and in their hertes turned backe agayne into Egypte
40 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.’
sayinge vnto Aaron: Make vs goddes to goo before vs. For this Moses that brought vs out of the londe of Egypte we wote not what is become of him.
41 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.
And they made a calfe in those dayes and offered sacrifice vnto the ymage and reioysed in the workes of their awne hondes.
42 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?
Then God turned him selfe and gave them vp that they shuld worship the starres of the skye as it is written in the boke of the prophetes. O ye of ye housse of Israel gave ye to me sacrefices and meate offerynges by the space of xl. yeares in the wildernes?
43 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.’
And ye toke vnto you the tabernacle of Moloch and the starre of youre god Remphan figures which ye made to worshippe them. And I will translate you beyonde Babylon.
44 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;
Oure fathers had the tabernacle of witnes in ye wyldernes as he had apoynted the speakynge vnto Moses that he shuld make it acordynge to the fassion that he had sene.
45 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;
Which tabernacle oure fathers receaved and brought it in with Iosue into the possession of the gentyls which God drave out before the face of oure fathers vnto the tyme of David
46 who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling place for the (house *N(K)O*) of Jacob.
which founde favour before God and desyred that he myght fynde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
47 Solomon however built for Him [the] house.
But Salomon bylt him an housse.
48 Yet not the Most High in hand-made (temples *K*) dwells, Even as the prophet says:
How be it he that is hyest of all dwelleth not in teple made with hondes as saith the Prophete:
49 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?
Heven is my seate and erth is my fote stole what housse will ye bylde for me sayth the Lorde? or what place is it that I shuld rest in?
50 Surely the hand of Mine has made these things all?’
hath not my honde made all these thinges?
51 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;
Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised hertes and eares: ye have all wayes resisted the holy goost: as youre fathers dyd so do ye.
52 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*)
Which of the prophetes have not youre fathers persecuted? And they have slayne them which shewed before of the commynge of that iust whom ye have now betrayed and mordred.
53 who received the law by [the] ordination of angels and not kept [it].
And ye also have receaved a lawe by the ordinaunce of angels and have not kept it.
54 Hearing now these things they felt cut up in the hearts of them and were gnashing the teeth at him.
When they hearde these thinges their hertes clave a sunder and they gnasshed on him with their tethe.
55 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
But he beynge full of the holy goost loked vp stedfastlye with his eyes into heven and sawe the glorie of God and Iesus stondynge on the ryght honde of God
56 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.
and sayde: beholde I se the hevens open and the sonne of man stondynge on the ryght honde of god.
57 Having cried out then in a voice loud they held the ears of them and rushed with one accord upon him;
Then they gave a shute with a loude voyce and stopped their eares and ranne apon him all at once
58 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
and caste him out of the cite and stoned him. And the witnesses layde doune their clothes at a yonge mannes fete named Saul.
59 And [as] they were stoning Stephen he was calling out and saying; Lord Jesus, do receive the spirit of mine.
And they stoned Steven callynge on and sayinge: Lorde Iesu receave my sprete.
60 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.
And he kneled doune and cryed with a loude voyce: Lorde laye not this synne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken he fell a slepe.
