Acts 7
1 Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are the things that [these people are saying about you(sg)] true?”
tataḥ paraṁ mahāyājakaḥ pṛṣṭavān, eṣā kathāṁ kiṁ satyā?
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].
tataḥ sa pratyavadat, he pitaro he bhrātaraḥ sarvve lākā manāṁsi nidhaddhvaṁ|asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm hāraṇnagare vāsakaraṇāt pūrvvaṁ yadā arām-naharayimadeśe āsīt tadā tejomaya īśvaro darśanaṁ datvā
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.’
tamavadat tvaṁ svadeśajñātimitrāṇi parityajya yaṁ deśamahaṁ darśayiṣyāmi taṁ deśaṁ vraja|
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.”
ataḥ sa kasdīyadeśaṁ vihāya hāraṇnagare nyavasat, tadanantaraṁ tasya pitari mṛte yatra deśe yūyaṁ nivasatha sa enaṁ deśamāgacchat|
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]).”

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.’
īśvara ittham aparamapi kathitavān tava santānāḥ paradeśe nivatsyanti tatastaddeśīyalokāścatuḥśatavatsarān yāvat tān dāsatve sthāpayitvā tān prati kuvyavahāraṁ kariṣyanti|
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.’”

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].”

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.
te pūrvvapuruṣā īrṣyayā paripūrṇā misaradeśaṁ preṣayituṁ yūṣaphaṁ vyakrīṇan|
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].”

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.
tasmin samaye misara-kinānadeśayo rdurbhikṣahetoratikliṣṭatvāt naḥ pūrvvapuruṣā bhakṣyadravyaṁ nālabhanta|
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].
kintu misaradeśe śasyāni santi, yākūb imāṁ vārttāṁ śrutvā prathamam asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣān misaraṁ preṣitavān|
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].
tato dvitīyavāragamane yūṣaph svabhrātṛbhiḥ paricito'bhavat; yūṣapho bhrātaraḥ phirauṇ rājena paricitā abhavan|
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].
anantaraṁ yūṣaph bhrātṛgaṇaṁ preṣya nijapitaraṁ yākūbaṁ nijān pañcādhikasaptatisaṁkhyakān jñātijanāṁśca samāhūtavān|
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].
tasmād yākūb misaradeśaṁ gatvā svayam asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣāśca tasmin sthāne'mriyanta|
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.”
tataste śikhimaṁ nītā yat śmaśānam ibrāhīm mudrādatvā śikhimaḥ pitu rhamoraḥ putrebhyaḥ krītavān tatśmaśāne sthāpayāñcakrire|
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.
tataḥ param īśvara ibrāhīmaḥ sannidhau śapathaṁ kṛtvā yāṁ pratijñāṁ kṛtavān tasyāḥ pratijñāyāḥ phalanasamaye nikaṭe sati isrāyellokā simaradeśe varddhamānā bahusaṁkhyā abhavan|
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].
śeṣe yūṣaphaṁ yo na paricinoti tādṛśa eko narapatirupasthāya
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.”

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.
etasmin samaye mūsā jajñe, sa tu paramasundaro'bhavat tathā pitṛgṛhe māsatrayaparyyantaṁ pālito'bhavat|
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.
kintu tasmin bahirnikṣipte sati phirauṇarājasya kanyā tam uttolya nītvā dattakaputraṁ kṛtvā pālitavatī|
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.”
tasmāt sa mūsā misaradeśīyāyāḥ sarvvavidyāyāḥ pāradṛṣvā san vākye kriyāyāñca śaktimān abhavat|
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].
sa sampūrṇacatvāriṁśadvatsaravayasko bhūtvā isrāyelīyavaṁśanijabhrātṛn sākṣāt kartuṁ matiṁ cakre|
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].
teṣāṁ janamekaṁ hiṁsitaṁ dṛṣṭvā tasya sapakṣaḥ san hiṁsitajanam upakṛtya misarīyajanaṁ jaghāna|
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.
tasya hasteneśvarastān uddhariṣyati tasya bhrātṛgaṇa iti jñāsyati sa ityanumānaṁ cakāra, kintu te na bubudhire|
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]’
tatpare 'hani teṣām ubhayo rjanayo rvākkalaha upasthite sati mūsāḥ samīpaṁ gatvā tayo rmelanaṁ karttuṁ matiṁ kṛtvā kathayāmāsa, he mahāśayau yuvāṁ bhrātarau parasparam anyāyaṁ kutaḥ kuruthaḥ?
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]
tataḥ samīpavāsinaṁ prati yo jano'nyāyaṁ cakāra sa taṁ dūrīkṛtya kathayāmāsa, asmākamupari śāstṛtvavicārayitṛtvapadayoḥ kastvāṁ niyuktavān?
28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
hyo yathā misarīyaṁ hatavān tathā kiṁ māmapi haniṣyasi?
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.”

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.
anantaraṁ catvāriṁśadvatsareṣu gateṣu sīnayaparvvatasya prāntare prajvalitastambasya vahniśikhāyāṁ parameśvaradūtastasmai darśanaṁ dadau|
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],
mūsāstasmin darśane vismayaṁ matvā viśeṣaṁ jñātuṁ nikaṭaṁ gacchati,
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].
etasmin samaye, ahaṁ tava pūrvvapuruṣāṇām īśvaro'rthād ibrāhīma īśvara ishāka īśvaro yākūba īśvaraśca, mūsāmuddiśya parameśvarasyaitādṛśī vihāyasīyā vāṇī babhūva, tataḥ sa kampānvitaḥ san puna rnirīkṣituṁ pragalbho na babhūva|
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.
parameśvarastaṁ jagāda, tava pādayoḥ pāduke mocaya yatra tiṣṭhasi sā pavitrabhūmiḥ|
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].’”

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].

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.
sa ca misaradeśe sūphnāmni samudre ca paścāt catvāriṁśadvatsarān yāvat mahāprāntare nānāprakārāṇyadbhutāni karmmāṇi lakṣaṇāni ca darśayitvā tān bahiḥ kṛtvā samānināya|
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].’
prabhuḥ parameśvaro yuṣmākaṁ bhrātṛgaṇasya madhye mādṛśam ekaṁ bhaviṣyadvaktāram utpādayiṣyati tasya kathāyāṁ yūyaṁ mano nidhāsyatha, yo jana isrāyelaḥ santānebhya enāṁ kathāṁ kathayāmāsa sa eṣa mūsāḥ|
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.”

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.
asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣāstam amānyaṁ katvā svebhyo dūrīkṛtya misaradeśaṁ parāvṛtya gantuṁ manobhirabhilaṣya hāroṇaṁ jagaduḥ,
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!’

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.
tasmin samaye te govatsākṛtiṁ pratimāṁ nirmmāya tāmuddiśya naivedyamutmṛjya svahastakṛtavastunā ānanditavantaḥ|
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]

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].”

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].

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.

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.

47 But [instead, God let David’s son] Solomon build a house [where people could worship] God.”
kintu sulemān tadarthaṁ mandiram ekaṁ nirmmitavān|
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: ]
tathāpi yaḥ sarvvoparisthaḥ sa kasmiṁścid hastakṛte mandire nivasatīti nahi, bhaviṣyadvādī kathāmetāṁ kathayati, yathā,
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]!”

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]!

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!

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!”

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!
imāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā te manaḥsu biddhāḥ santastaṁ prati dantagharṣaṇam akurvvan|
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.
kintu stiphānaḥ pavitreṇātmanā pūrṇo bhūtvā gagaṇaṁ prati sthiradṛṣṭiṁ kṛtvā īśvarasya dakṣiṇe daṇḍāyamānaṁ yīśuñca vilokya kathitavān;
56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open, and I [see] the one who came from heaven standing at God’s right side!”
paśya, meghadvāraṁ muktam īśvarasya dakṣiṇe sthitaṁ mānavasutañca paśyāmi|
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.
tadā te proccaiḥ śabdaṁ kṛtvā karṇeṣvaṅgulī rnidhāya ekacittībhūya tam ākraman|
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].
paścāt taṁ nagarād bahiḥ kṛtvā prastarairāghnan sākṣiṇo lākāḥ śaulanāmno yūnaścaraṇasannidhau nijavastrāṇi sthāpitavantaḥ|
59 While they continued to throw stones at Stephen, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
anantaraṁ he prabho yīśe madīyamātmānaṁ gṛhāṇa stiphānasyeti prārthanavākyavadanasamaye te taṁ prastarairāghnan|
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.
