Acts 7
1 The high priest said, “Are these things so?”
Asked then the high priest; whether (therefore *k) these things so are?
2 He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived 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 to him, ‘Get out of your land and away from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’
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 he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land where you are now living.
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 He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when he still 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 God spoke in this way: that his offspring would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for 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 ‘I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,’ said God, ‘and after that they will come out and serve me in this place.’
And the nation to which (then *NK+o) (they will be in bondage, *N+kO) will judge I myself, God said and after these things they will come forth and they will serve Me in place this.’
8 He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of 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 Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
9 “The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. 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 favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. 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 a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.
Came then a famine upon all the (land *k) (of Egypt *N+kO) and Canaan and affliction great and not were finding sustenance the fathers of us.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
Having heard now Jacob [there] is (grain in Egypt *N+kO) he sent forth the fathers of us first,
13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was revealed to 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 Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five 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 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 brought back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.
and they were carried over into Shechem and were placed in the tomb (which *N+kO) bought Abraham for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor (in *N+kO) Shechem.
17 “But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Even as now was drawing near the time of the promise that (he agreed *N+KO) God to Abraham, increased the people and multiplied in Egypt
18 until there arose a different king who didn’t know Joseph.
until that there arose king another (over Egypt *NO) who not knew Joseph.
19 The same took advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to abandon their babies, so that they wouldn’t stay alive.
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 that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. 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 When he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and reared him as her own son.
(When was being exposed *N+kO) then (he *N+kO) took up him the daughter of Pharaoh and brought up him for herself for a son.
22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. 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 forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, 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 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him and avenged him who was oppressed, striking 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 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.
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 “The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, ‘Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?’
On the and following day he appeared to those who were quarreling and (was reconciling *N+KO) them to peace having said: Men, brothers are (you yourselves; *k) why why wrong one another?
27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you 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+kO)
28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
Surely not to execute me you yourself desire [the] same way you executed yesterday the Egyptian?’
29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
Fled then Moses at remark this and became exiled in [the] land of Midian, where he begat sons two.
30 “When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord 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 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, the voice of the Lord came to him,
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 your fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Moses trembled and dared not look.
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 The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
Said then to him the Lord; do take off the sandal of the feet of you; for the place (on *N+kO) which you have stood ground holy is.
34 I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you 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+kO) you to Egypt.’
35 “This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who 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+kO) [the] hand of [the] angel who having appeared to him in the bush.
36 This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
this one led out them having done wonders and signs in ([the] land of *NK+o) (Egypt *N+kO) and in [the] Red Sea and in the wilderness years forty.
37 This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like 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 who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to 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 wouldn’t be obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to 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 to Aaron, ‘Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has 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+kO) to him.’
41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to 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 away and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘Did you offer to me slain animals 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 You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship, so 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 who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern 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 into the possession of the nations whom God drove out before the face of our fathers to 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 favor 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+KO) of Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Solomon however built for Him [the] house.
48 However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
Yet not the Most High in hand-made (temples *K) dwells, Even as the prophet says:
49 ‘heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?’ says 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 Didn’t my hand make all these things?’
Surely the hand of Mine has made these things all?’
51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.
Stiff-necked and uncircumcised (in the *k+o) (hearts *N+kO) (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 didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you 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+kO)
53 You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”
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 at 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 Spirit, looked up steadfastly 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 at the right hand of God!”
and he said; Behold I see the heavens (opened up *N+kO) 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, then rushed at 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 They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed 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 They stoned Stephen as he called out, 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 He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” 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.
