\subsection{Acts 7}
|
|
\VS{1} So the chief priest said: Does he have these [things] thusly?
|
|
\VS{2} So he spoke:
|
|
Men brothers and fathers, hear [me]. The God of glory was seen by our father
|
|
Abraham while he was in Mesopotamia before which he [was] dwelling in Charran.
|
|
\VS{3} And he said to him: Go out from your land and your relatives, and come to
|
|
the land which I will show you.
|
|
\VS{4} Then having gone out from the land of
|
|
[the] Chaldeans he dwelt in Charran. And from there after the death of his father
|
|
he resettled him in this land in which you now dwell,
|
|
\VS{5} and he did not
|
|
give him [the] inheritance in it, not [even a] foot step [in it], and he promised to give to him
|
|
possession of it and to his seed after him, while there was no child to him.
|
|
\VS{6} So God spoke thusly, that his seed will be strangers in another's
|
|
land, and they will enslave it and treat-it-evil-ly for four hundred years,
|
|
\VS{7} and
|
|
the nation by which they are enslaved I will judge, said God, and after
|
|
these [things] they will come out and will serve me in this place.
|
|
\VS{8} And he
|
|
gave to them [the] contract of circumcision; and thus he begat Isaac and
|
|
circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob the twelve
|
|
patriarchs.
|
|
\VS{9} And the patriarchs having been jealous of Joseph sold him
|
|
to Egypt, and God was with him,
|
|
\VS{10} and took him out of all his
|
|
distresses, and gave to him grace and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt,
|
|
and appointed him ruler over Egypt and his whole house.
|
|
\VS{11} So [a] famine came upon all Egypt and Canaan, and [a] great
|
|
distress, and our fathers were not finding food.
|
|
\VS{12} So Jacob having heard [there] is food in Egypt, he first
|
|
sent out our fathers.
|
|
\VS{13} And in the second [time] Joseph was made known to
|
|
his brothers, and Joseph's people became manifest to Pharaoh.
|
|
\VS{14} So Joseph having sent [them], he summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives,
|
|
seventy five psyche-lives\fnPsyche{}.
|
|
\VS{15} And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he came to
|
|
[his] end, and [also] our fathers,
|
|
\VS{16} and they were moved to Suchem and placed in
|
|
the tomb which Abraham bought for the price of [a] field beside the sons of
|
|
Emmor in Suchem.
|
|
\VS{17} And just as the time of the promise drew near which
|
|
God professed to Abraham, the people increased, and multiplied in Egypt,
|
|
\VS{18} until another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
|
|
\VS{19} This [one] having gotten the
|
|
better\footnote{or ``taken advantage of by trickery''} of
|
|
our people, treated-evil-ly the fathers by doing the abandonment of their infants
|
|
so as not to preserve [them] zoe-alive\fnZoe{}.
|
|
\VS{20} In the opportune-time\fnKairos{} Moses was born, and he was acceptable to God,
|
|
who was reared for three months in the house of his father.
|
|
\VS{21} But when he exposed him, Pharaoh's daughter took him
|
|
up and reared him for herself for [a] son.
|
|
\VS{22} And Moses was educated in
|
|
all the wisdom of Egypt, and he was powerful in his words and deeds.
|
|
\VS{23} Now as forty years time was fulfilled to him, it rose up upon his heart to
|
|
visit his brothers the sons of Israel.
|
|
\VS{24} And seeing [one] doing injustice,
|
|
he retaliated, and did vengeance for the oppressed, having struck down the
|
|
Egyptian.
|
|
\VS{25} Now he thought his brothers understood that God would give them salvation through
|
|
his hand, but they did not understand.
|
|
\VS{26} And on
|
|
the next day it was seen them fighting, and he reconciled them to peace
|
|
saying: Men, you are brothers. Why do you do injustice to each other?
|
|
\VS{27} But the [one] doing injustice to his neighbor refused him saying: Who
|
|
appointed you ruler and judge over us?
|
|
\VS{28} You don't want to kill me as
|
|
you yesterday killed the Egyptian, [do you]?
|
|
\VS{29} So Moses fled in this word, and
|
|
became [a] dweller in the land Madiam, where he begat two sons.
|
|
\VS{30} And
|
|
when forty years were fulfilled, there was seen by him in the wilderness of
|
|
the mount Sinai [an] angel in [the] flame of [a] firey bush.
|
|
\VS{31} So when Moses saw
|
|
he marveled at the sight, so when he came to examine, [the] voice of the Lord
|
|
came to pass:
|
|
\VS{32} I am the God [of your] fathers, the God [of] Abraham and Isaac and
|
|
Jacob. Now Moses having become trembling, he did not dare to examine [it].
|
|
\VS{33} So the Lord said to him: Loose the sandals [of your] feet, for the place
|
|
upon which you stand is holy ground\fnGe{}.
|
|
\VS{34} Having seen, I have seen the
|
|
oppression of my people in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and have
|
|
come down to take them out, and now come [and] I will send you to Egypt.
|
|
\VS{35} This Moses, whom they denied saying: Who appointed you ruler and judge? God
|
|
sent this [one] both ruler and deliverer with [the] hand of [the] angel seen to him in the bush.
|
|
\VS{36} This [man] brought them out having done wonders and signs in [the] land
|
|
of Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the wilderness forty years.
|
|
\VS{37} This
|
|
is the Moses having said to the sons of Israel: God will raise to you [a]
|
|
prophet like me from your brothers.
|
|
\VS{38} This is the [one] having come to be
|
|
in the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him in the
|
|
mount Sinai and of our fathers, who showed [him] zoe-living\fnZoe{} oracles to give you,
|
|
\VS{39} to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but they
|
|
rejected [him] and turned in their hearts to Egypt,
|
|
\VS{40} saying to Aaron: Make
|
|
for us gods which will go before us. For this Moses, who brought us out of
|
|
the land of Egypt, we do not know what has come to pass to him.
|
|
\VS{41} And
|
|
they made [a] calf in those days and offered sacrifices to the idol, and were
|
|
cheered by the works of their hands.
|
|
\VS{42} But God turned and delivered
|
|
them to be ministering to the host of heaven, just as it is written in [the]
|
|
scroll of [the] prophets:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Offerings and sacrifices you did not offer me \\
|
|
Forty years in the wilderness, house of Israel. \\
|
|
\VS{43} And you took the tent of Molech \\
|
|
And the star of the god Rompha, \\
|
|
The image which you made to be worshipping them \\
|
|
And I will move you beyond Babylon.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{44} The tent of the testimony was to our fathers in the wilderness, just
|
|
as the [one] speaking commanded Moses to make it according to the image which he
|
|
say,
|
|
\VS{45} which our fathers who came after brought in with Joshua into
|
|
the possession of the nations, whom God expelled from the face of our
|
|
fathers, until the days of David,
|
|
\VS{46} who found grace before God and requested\fnAiteo{} to be finding [a]
|
|
tabernacle for the house\footnote{``house" \papyrus{74}\sinaiticus{}BD; ``God" \koine{} \vulgate{} } of Jacob.
|
|
\VS{47} Now Solomon built to him [a] house.
|
|
\VS{48} But the highest [one] does not dwell in what is made with hands. For just
|
|
as the prophets says:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
\VS{49} Heaven is my throne \\
|
|
And the land [a] footstool for my feet. \\
|
|
What sort of house will you build me, says [the] Lord, \\
|
|
Or what place of rest for me? \\
|
|
\VS{50} Did not my hand make all these [things]
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{51} Stiff-necked and uncircumcised in hearts and ears, you always
|
|
resisted the Holy Spirit: as your fathers, you also.
|
|
\VS{52} Which of the
|
|
prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those announcing
|
|
beforehand concerning the coming of justice, of which you are now become
|
|
traitors and murderers,
|
|
\VS{53} who received the law to the ordinance of
|
|
angels, and you do not keep it.
|
|
|
|
\VS{54} Now having heard these [things] they were infuriated in their hearts and
|
|
gnashed their teeth upon him.
|
|
\VS{55} But being full of [the] Holy Spirit, having
|
|
looked intently into heaven he saw [the] glory of God and Jesus standing at the
|
|
right [hand] of God.
|
|
\VS{57} But having cried out with [a] great voice, they stopped
|
|
their ears, and rushed with one purpose upon him,
|
|
\VS{58} and having thrown
|
|
him out of the city, they were stoning [him]. And the witnesses laid down their
|
|
garments beside the feet of [a] young man being called Saul.
|
|
\VS{59} And they
|
|
were stoning Stephen, who [was] calling out and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my
|
|
spirit.
|
|
\VS{60} And having knelt he cried out with [a] great voice: Lord do
|
|
not place to them this sin. And having said this he fell asleep.
