Acts 7
1 Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are the things that [these people are saying about you(sg)] true?”
A főpap pedig megkérdezte: „Vajon tényleg így vannak-e ezek a dolgok?“
2 Stephen replied, “Fellow Jews and respected leaders, [please] listen to me! The glorious God [whom we(inc) worship] appeared to our ancestor Abraham while he was still [living] in Mesopotamia [region], before he moved to Haran [town].
Ő pedig ezt mondta: „Férfiak, atyámfiai és atyák, halljátok meg! A dicsőségnek Istene megjelent a mi atyánknak, Ábrahámnak, amikor Mezopotámiában volt, mielőtt Háránban lakott,
3 God said to him, ‘Leave this land where you [(sg)] and your relatives [are living], and go into the land to which I will lead you.’
és mondta neki: »Eredj ki a földedből és a te nemzetséged közül, és gyere arra a földre, amelyet mutatok neked.«
4 So Abraham left that land, [which was also called] Chaldea, and he arrived in Haran and lived there. After his father died, God told him to move to this land in which you [and I] are now living.”
Akkor kiment a káldeusok földjéből, és Háránban lakott. Miután pedig meghalt az atyja, kihozta onnan erre a földre, amelyen ti most laktok.
5 “[At that time] God did not give Abraham any [land here], not even a small plot of [this] land that would belong to him. God promised that he would [later] give this land to him and his descendants, and that it would [always] belong [to them. However], at that time Abraham did not have any children [who would] ([inherit it/receive it after he died]).”
Nem adott neki abban örökséget, még egy talpalatnyi földet sem, de azt ígérte, hogy neki adja azt birtokul, és utódainak, holott nem is volt neki gyermeke.
6 “[Later] God told Abraham, ‘Your descendants will go and live in a foreign country. They [will live there] for 400 years, and [during that time their leaders] will mistreat your descendants and force them to work as slaves.’
Az Isten pedig azt mondta neki, hogy az utódai zsellérek lesznek idegen földön, és szolgaság alá vetik, és nyomorgatják négyszáz esztendeig őket.
7 But God [also] said, ‘I will punish the people who make them work as slaves. Then, after that, your descendants will leave [that land] and they will [come and] worship me in this land.’”
De azt a népet, amelynek szolgálnak, megítélem, mondta az Isten, ők pedig ezek után kijönnek, és szolgálnak nekem ezen a helyen.
8 “Then God commanded Abraham that [every male in his household and all of his male descendants] should be circumcised [to show that they all belonged to God] and that they would obey what he had told Abraham to do. Later Abraham’s son, Isaac, was born, and when Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him. [Later] Isaac’s son, Jacob, was born, and Isaac [similarly circumcised] him. And Jacob [similarly circumcised] his twelve sons. They are the twelve men [from whom we(inc) Jews have all descended].”
És a körülmetélés szövetségét adta neki: és így nemzette Izsákot, és körülmetélte őt a nyolcadik napon, és Izsák Jákobot, és Jákob a tizenkét pátriárkát.
9 “[You know that] Jacob’s [older] sons became jealous [because their father favored their younger brother] Joseph. So they sold him [to merchants/traders who took him] [MTY] to Egypt. There he became a slave [of an official who lived there]. But God [helped] Joseph.
A pátriárkák pedig irigységből eladták Józsefet Egyiptomba, de Isten vele volt,
10 He protected him whenever people caused him to suffer. He enabled Joseph to be wise; and he caused Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to think well of Joseph. So Pharaoh appointed him to rule [over] Egypt and to look after all of Pharaoh’s property [MTY].”
megszabadította őt minden nyomorúságából, kedvességet és bölcsességet adott neki a fáraó, Egyiptom királya előtt, aki őt Egyiptom fölé és az ő egész háza fölé kormányzóul állította.
11 “[While Joseph was doing that work], there was a time (when there was very little food/of famine) throughout Egypt and also throughout Canaan. People did not have enough food to eat. People were suffering. [At that time] Jacob and his sons [in Canaan] also could not find [enough] food.
Egyiptom és Kánaán egész földjére pedig éhínség következett, és nagy nyomorúság, és a mi atyáink nem találtak eledelt.
12 When Jacob heard [people report that] there was grain/food [that people could buy] in Egypt, he sent Joseph’s older brothers [to go there to buy grain. They went and bought grain from Joseph, but they did not recognize him. Then they returned home].
Amikor pedig meghallotta Jákob, hogy Egyiptomban van gabona, elküldte először a mi atyáinkat.
13 When Joseph’s brothers went to Egypt the second time, [they again bought grain from Joseph]. But this time [he] told them who he was. [And] people told Pharaoh that Joseph’s people were Hebrews [and that those men who had come from Canaan were his brothers].
Második alkalommal fölismerték Józsefet testvérei, és a fáraó megtudta József származását.
14 Then after Joseph sent [his brothers back home, they] told their father Jacob [that Joseph wanted] him and his entire family to come [to Egypt. At that time] ([Jacob’s family consisted of] 75 people/there were 75 people in Jacob’s family) [SYN].
József elküldve, magához hívatta atyját, Jákobot és az egész hetvenöt lélekből álló rokonságát.
15 [So when] Jacob [heard that, he and all his family] went to [live in] Egypt.” Acts 7:15b-16 “[Later on], Jacob died [there], and our [other] ancestors, [his sons, also died there].
Elment tehát Jákob Egyiptomba, és meghalt ő és a mi atyáink is.
16 [But] the bodies [of Jacob and Joseph] were brought {[they] brought the bodies [of Jacob and Joseph]} [back to our land], and [Jacob’s body] was buried {they buried [Jacob’s body]} [in the tomb that Abraham had bought, and they buried Joseph’s body] in Shechem in the ground that [Jacob] had bought from Hamor’s sons.”
Elvitték őket Sikembe, és abba a sírba helyezték el, melyet Ábrahám vett ezüstpénzen, Emórnak, a Sikem atyjának fiaitól.
17 “Our ancestors had become very numerous when it was almost time for [God to rescue them] from Egypt, [as] he had promised Abraham that he would do.
Amikor pedig közeledett az ígéret ideje, melyet Isten esküvel ígért Ábrahámnak, megnövekedett a nép, és megsokasodott Egyiptomban.
18 Another king had begun to rule in Egypt. He did not know that Joseph, [long before that time, had greatly helped the people of Egypt] [MTY].
Egészen addig, míg egy másik király nem lett, aki nem ismerte Józsefet.
19 That king cruelly tried to get rid of our ancestors. He oppressed them and caused them to suffer greatly. He [even commanded] them to leave their baby [boys] outside [their homes] so that they would die.”
Ez a mi nemzetségünkkel álnokul bánt, nyomorgatta atyáinkat, hogy csecsemőiket tegyék ki, hogy életben ne maradjanak.
20 “During that time Moses was born, and he was a very beautiful [LIT] [child]. So his parents [secretly] cared for him in their house for three months.
Ekkor született Mózes, aki ékes volt az Isten előtt. Három hónapig atyja házában tartották.
21 Then they had to put him outside [the house, but] Pharaoh’s daughter [found him and] adopted him and cared for him as [though he were] her own son.
Amikor pedig kitették, a fáraó leánya vette fel, és nevelte fel őt a saját fia gyanánt.
22 Moses was taught {[The Egyptian teachers] taught Moses} many kinds of wise things [HYP] that the people in Egypt knew, and [when he grew up], he spoke powerfully and did things powerfully.”
Mózest az egyiptomiak minden bölcsességére megtanították, és hatalmas volt beszédben és cselekedetben.
23 “[One day] when Moses was about 40 years old, he decided that he would [go and] see his fellow Israelis. [So he went to the place where they worked].
Amikor pedig a negyvenedik évét betöltötte, eszébe jutott, hogy meglátogassa atyjafiait, az Izrael fiait.
24 He saw an Egyptian beating one of the Israelis. So he went over to help [MTY] the Israeli man who was being hurt/beat {whom [the Egyptian] was hurting/beating}, and he (got revenge on/paid back) the Israeli man by killing the Egyptian [who was hurting/beating him].
Amikor látta, hogy egyiket bántalmazzák, oltalmába vette, és az egyiptomi embert megölve, bosszút állt azért, akit bántottak.
25 Moses was thinking that his fellow Israelis would understand that God had sent him to free them [from being slaves]. But they did not understand that.
Azt gondolta, hogy atyjafiai megértik, hogy az Isten az ő keze által ad nekik szabadulást, de azok nem értették meg.
26 The next day, Moses saw two Israeli men fighting [each other]. He tried to make them stop fighting by saying to them, ‘Men, you two are fellow [Israelis! So] (stop hurting each other!/why are you hurting each other?) [RHQ]’
Másnap meg olyankor jelent meg köztük, mikor összevesztek, és békességre intette őket: Férfiak, ti testvérek vagytok, miért bosszantjátok egymást?
27 But the man who was injuring the other man pushed Moses away and said to him, ‘(No one appointed you [(sg)] to rule and judge us [(exc)]!/Do you [(sg)] think someone appointed you [(sg)] to rule and judge us [(exc)]?) [RHQ]
De az, aki felebarátját bántalmazta, elutasította őt magától, ezt mondva: »Kicsoda tett téged fejedelemmé és bíróvá mi rajtunk?
28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
Csak nem akarsz engem is megölni, ahogyan megölted tegnap az egyiptomit?«
29 When Moses heard that, [he thought to himself, ‘Obviously, people know what I have done, and someone will kill me.’ He was afraid, so] he fled [from Egypt] to Midian land. He lived there [for some years]. He [got married, and he and his wife] had two sons.”
Erre a beszédre azután Mózes elmenekült, és jövevény lett Midján földjén, ahol két fia született.
30 “[One day] 40 years later, [the Lord God appeared as] an angel to Moses. He appeared in a bush that was burning in the desert near Sinai Mountain.
Negyven esztendő elteltével az Úr angyala megjelent neki a Sínai hegy pusztájában csipkebokornak tüzes lángjában.
31 When Moses saw that, he was greatly surprised, [because the bush was not burning up]. As he went over to look more closely, he heard the Lord [God] say [to him],
Mózes pedig mikor meglátta, elcsodálkozott azon, amit látott. Amikor pedig oda ment, hogy megszemlélje, az Úr szava szólt hozzá:
32 ‘I [am] the God [whom] your ancestors [worshipped]. I [am] the God that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob [worship].’ Moses [was so afraid that he] began to shake. He was afraid to look [at the bush any longer].
»Én vagyok a te atyáidnak Istene, Ábrahámnak Istene, Izsáknak Istene, és Jákobnak Istene.« Mózes pedig megrémült, és nem mert odanézni.
33 Then the Lord [God] said to him, ‘Take your sandals off [to show that you(sg) revere me]. Because I [am here], the place where you are standing is holy/sacred.
Az Úr pedig ezt mondta neki: »Oldozd le sarudat lábaidról, mert a hely, amelyen állsz, szent föld.
34 I have surely seen how the people of Egypt are continually causing my people to suffer. I have heard my people when they groan [because those people continually oppress them]. So I have come down to rescue them [from Egypt]. Now get ready, because I am going to send you [back] to Egypt [to do that].’”
Megláttam népemnek nyomorúságát, mely Egyiptomban van, és fohászkodásukat meghallgattam, és azért szálltam le, hogy őket megszabadítsam. Most azért jöjj, elküldelek téged Egyiptomba.«
35 “This Moses [is the one who had tried to help our Israeli people, but] whom they rejected [by saying], ‘No one [RHQ] appointed you to rule and judge [us!’] Moses [is the one whom] God [himself] sent to rule them and to free them [from being slaves. He is the one whom] an angel in the bush [commanded to do that].
Ezt a Mózest, akit megtagadtak ezt mondva: Ki tett téged fejedelemmé és bíróvá? – ezt az Isten fejedelmül és szabadítóul küldte el angyala által, aki megjelent neki a csipkebokorban.
36 Moses [is the one who] led our ancestors out [from Egypt]. He did many kinds of miracles in Egypt, at the Red Sea, and during the 40 years [that the Israelite people lived] in the desert.
Ez hozta ki őket, csodákat és jeleket téve Egyiptom földjén, és a Vörös tengeren és a pusztában negyven esztendeig.
37 This Moses is the one who said to the Israelite people, ‘God will appoint a prophet for you from among your own people. [He will speak words from God], just like I [speak his words to you].’
Ez az a Mózes, aki Izrael fiainak ezt mondta: »Prófétát támaszt nektek az Úr, a ti Istenetek, testvéreitek közül, mint engem: őt hallgassátok.«
38 This man [Moses] was [our people’s leader] when they gathered together in the desert. It is Moses to whom [God sent] the angel on Sinai Mountain to [give him our laws], and [he was the one who told] our [other] ancestors [what the angel had said]. He was the one who received [from God] words that tell us how to live [eternally, and Moses] passed [them] on to us.”
Ez az, aki ott volt a gyülekezetben, a pusztában a Sínai hegyen vele beszélő angyallal és atyáinkkal, aki az élő igéket vette át, hogy nekünk adja.
39 “[However], our ancestors did not want to obey [Moses]. Instead, [while he was still on the mountain], they rejected him [as their leader] and decided that they wanted to return to Egypt.
Neki nem akartak engedni atyáink, hanem eltaszították maguktól, és szívükben Egyiptom felé fordultak,
40 So they told [his older brother] Aaron, ‘Make idols for us who will be our gods to lead us [back to Egypt]! As for that fellow Moses who led us out of Egypt we [(exc)] do not know what has happened to him!’
és ezt mondták Áronnak: »Csinálj nekünk isteneket, akik előttünk járjanak, mert ezzel a Mózessel, aki minket Egyiptom földjéről kihozott, nem tudjuk, mi történt.«
41 So, they made [out of gold] an image [that looked like] a calf. Then they sacrificed [animals and offered other things] to [honor] that idol, and they sang and danced to honor the idol that they themselves had made.
És borjút csináltak azokban a napokban, és áldozatot vittek a bálványnak, és gyönyörködtek kezeik alkotásában.
42 So God rejected them. He abandoned them to worship the sun, moon and stars in the sky. This agrees with the words that one of the prophets wrote that God said, You Israelite [people] [MTY], when you [repeatedly] killed animals and offered them as sacrifices during those 40 years [that you were] in the desert, (you [most certainly] were not offering them to me!/what makes you think that you were offering them to me?) [RHQ]
Az Isten pedig elfordult tőlük, és hagyta, hogy az ég seregének szolgáljanak, amint meg van írva a próféták könyvében: »Vajon áldozati állatokat És áldozatokat hoztatok-e nékem negyven esztendeig a pusztában, Izraelnek háza?
43 [On the contrary], you carried [with you from place to place] the tent [that contained the idol] representing [the god] Molech [that you worshipped]. You also [carried with you] the image of the star [called] Rephan. [Those] were idols that you had made, [and you] worshipped [them instead of me]. So I will [cause you to] be taken away {[people to] take you} [from your own country. You will be taken] {[They will take you]} [far from your homes to regions] even farther than Babylon [Country].”
Ellenkezőleg, inkább hordoztátok a Molok sátrát, és a ti isteneteknek, Romfának csillagát, a képeket, melyeket csináltatok, hogy azokat imádjátok: elviszlek azért titeket Babilonon túlra.«
44 “While our ancestors were in the desert, they worshipped God at the tent that showed [that he was there with them]. They had made the tent exactly like God had commanded Moses [to make it. It was] exactly like the model that Moses had seen [when he was up on the mountain].
A Szövetség sátra a mi atyáinknál volt a pusztában, amint parancsolta az, aki azt mondta Mózesnek, hogy azt arra a mintára csinálja, amelyet látott.
45 [Later on], other ancestors of ours carried that tent with them when Joshua led them [into this land]. That was during the time that they took this land for themselves, when God forced the people [who previously lived here] to leave. So the Israelis were able to possess this land. [The tent remained in this land and was still here] when [King] David ruled.
Amelyet atyáink átvéve, be is hoztak Józsuéval, mikor birtokba vették a pogányok földjét, akiket kiűzött az Isten atyáink színe elől, egészen Dávid idejéig.
46 David pleased God, and he asked God to let him build a house where [he and] all of our Israeli people could worship God.
Ő kegyelmet talált az Isten előtt, és könyörgött, hogy hajlékot találhasson Jákób Istenének,
47 But [instead, God let David’s son] Solomon build a house [where people could worship] God.”
de a házat Salamon építette neki.
48 “However, [we(inc) know that] God is greater than everything, and he does not live in [houses that] people [SYN] have made. It is like the prophet [Isaiah] wrote. He wrote [these words that God had spoken: ]
A Magasságos azonban nem kézzel épített templomokban lakik, amint a próféta mondja:
49 Heaven is (my throne/the place from which I rule the entire universe), and the earth is (my footstool/[merely like] a stool on which I may rest my feet). I myself [SYN] have made everything [both in heaven and on the earth]. So you [human beings], ([you] really cannot build a house that would be [adequate] for me!/do you think you can build a house that would be [appropriate] for me?) [RHQ] You cannot [RHQ] make a place good enough for me [to live in]!”
»A menny nékem a trónom, a föld pedig az én lábaimnak zsámolya. Milyen házat építhettek nékem? – azt mondja az Úr, vagy melyik az én nyugodalmamnak helye?
Nem az én kezem alkotta-e mindezeket?«
51 “You people are extremely stubborn [MET], not wanting to obey God or listen [MTY] [to him!] You are exactly like your ancestors! You always resist the Holy Spirit [as they did]!
Kemény nyakú és körülmetéletlen szívű és fülű emberek, ti mindenkor ellenálltok a Szentléleknek, ugyan úgy, mint atyáitok.
52 Your ancestors caused [RHQ] every prophet to suffer, [including Moses]. They even killed those who long ago announced [that the Messiah] would come, the one who always did what pleased God. [And the Messiah has come! He is the one whom] you [recently] turned over [to his enemies] and [insisted that] they kill him!
A próféták közül kit nem üldöztek atyáitok? Megölték azokat, akik eleve hirdették annak az Igaznak eljövetelét, akinek most árulóivá és gyilkosaivá lettetek.
53 You [are the people] who have received God’s laws. [Those were laws] that God caused angels to give [to our ancestors]. However, [incredibly], you have not obeyed them!”
A törvényt angyalok közvetítésével vettétek, de nem tartottátok meg.“
54 When the Jewish Council members [and others there] heard all that [Stephen said], they became very angry. They were grinding their teeth [together because they were so angry] at him!
Amikor pedig ezeket hallották, szívüket elöntötte a düh, és fogaikat vicsorgatták ellene.
55 But the Holy Spirit completely controlled Stephen. He looked up into heaven and saw a dazzling light from God, and [he saw] Jesus standing at God’s right side.
Mivel pedig eltelt Szentlélekkel, föltekintett a mennybe, és látta Isten dicsőségét, és Jézust az Istennek jobbja felől állni,
56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open, and I [see] the one who came from heaven standing at God’s right side!”
és ezt mondta: „Íme, látom az egeket megnyílni, és az Emberfiát az Isten jobbja felől állni.“
57 [When the Jewish Council members and others heard that], they shouted loudly. They put their hands over their ears [so that they could not hear Stephen, and immediately] they all rushed at him.
Ekkor hangosan felkiáltottak, füleiket bedugták, és egy akarattal rárohantak,
58 They dragged him outside the city [of Jerusalem] and started to throw stones at him. The people who were accusing him [took off] their outer garments [in order to throw stones more easily, and] they put their clothes [on the ground] next to a young man whose name was Saul, [so that he could guard them].
kiűzték a városon kívül, és megkövezték. A tanúk pedig felsőruháikat egy Saul nevezetű ifjú lábaihoz rakták le.
59 While they continued to throw stones at Stephen, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
Megkövezték tehát Istvánt, aki így imádkozott: „Uram Jézus, vedd magadhoz az én lelkemet!“
60 Then Stephen fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not punish them (OR, forgive them) [LIT] for this sin!” After he had said that, he died.
Térdre esett, és hangosan felkiáltott: „Uram, ne tulajdonítsd nekik ezt a bűnt! És ezt mondva, elaludt.“
