Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Then the high priest said: Are these things so?
1ειπεν δε ο αρχιερευσ ει αρα ταυτα ουτωσ εχει
2Who said: Ye men, brethren, and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charan.
2ο δε εφη ανδρεσ αδελφοι και πατερεσ ακουσατε ο θεοσ τησ δοξησ ωφθη τω πατρι ημων αβρααμ οντι εν τη μεσοποταμια πριν η κατοικησαι αυτον εν χαρραν
3And said to him: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
3και ειπεν προσ αυτον εξελθε εκ τησ γησ σου και εκ τησ συγγενειασ σου και δευρο εισ γην ην αν σοι δειξω
4Then he went out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charan. And from thence, after his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein you now dwell.
4τοτε εξελθων εκ γησ χαλδαιων κατωκησεν εν χαρραν κακειθεν μετα το αποθανειν τον πατερα αυτου μετωκισεν αυτον εισ την γην ταυτην εισ ην υμεισ νυν κατοικειτε
5And he gave him no inheritance in it; no, not the pace of a foot: but he promised to give it him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
5και ουκ εδωκεν αυτω κληρονομιαν εν αυτη ουδε βημα ποδοσ και επηγγειλατο δουναι αυτω εισ κατασχεσιν αυτην και τω σπερματι αυτου μετ αυτον ουκ οντοσ αυτω τεκνου
6And God said to him: That his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and that they should bring them under bondage, and treat them evil four hundred years.
6ελαλησεν δε ουτωσ ο θεοσ οτι εσται το σπερμα αυτου παροικον εν γη αλλοτρια και δουλωσουσιν αυτο και κακωσουσιν ετη τετρακοσια
7And the nation which they shall serve will I judge, said the Lord; and after these things they shall go out, and shall serve me in this place.
7και το εθνοσ ω εαν δουλευσωσιν κρινω εγω ειπεν ο θεοσ και μετα ταυτα εξελευσονται και λατρευσουσιν μοι εν τω τοπω τουτω
8And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob; and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
8και εδωκεν αυτω διαθηκην περιτομησ και ουτωσ εγεννησεν τον ισαακ και περιετεμεν αυτον τη ημερα τη ογδοη και ο ισαακ τον ιακωβ και ο ιακωβ τουσ δωδεκα πατριαρχασ
9And the patriarchs, through envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,
9και οι πατριαρχαι ζηλωσαντεσ τον ιωσηφ απεδοντο εισ αιγυπτον και ην ο θεοσ μετ αυτου
10And delivered him out of all his tribulations: and he gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharao, the king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt, and over all his house.
10και εξειλετο αυτον εκ πασων των θλιψεων αυτου και εδωκεν αυτω χαριν και σοφιαν εναντιον φαραω βασιλεωσ αιγυπτου και κατεστησεν αυτον ηγουμενον επ αιγυπτον και ολον τον οικον αυτου
11Now there came a famine upon all Egypt and Chanaan, and great tribulation; and our fathers found no food.
11ηλθεν δε λιμοσ εφ ολην την γην αιγυπτου και χανααν και θλιψισ μεγαλη και ουχ ευρισκον χορτασματα οι πατερεσ ημων
12But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
12ακουσασ δε ιακωβ οντα σιτα εν αιγυπτω εξαπεστειλεν τουσ πατερασ ημων πρωτον
13And at the second time, Joseph was known by his brethren, and his kindred was made known to Pharao.
13και εν τω δευτερω ανεγνωρισθη ιωσηφ τοισ αδελφοισ αυτου και φανερον εγενετο τω φαραω το γενοσ του ιωσηφ
14And Joseph sending, called thither Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls.
14αποστειλασ δε ιωσηφ μετεκαλεσατο τον πατερα αυτου ιακωβ και πασαν την συγγενειαν εν ψυχαισ εβδομηκοντα πεντε
15So Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, and our fathers.
15κατεβη δε ιακωβ εισ αιγυπτον και ετελευτησεν αυτοσ και οι πατερεσ ημων
16And they were translated into Sichem, and were laid in the sepulchre, that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hemor, the son of Sichem.
16και μετετεθησαν εισ συχεμ και ετεθησαν εν τω μνηματι ο ωνησατο αβρααμ τιμησ αργυριου παρα των υιων εμμορ του συχεμ
17And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased, and were multiplied in Egypt,
17καθωσ δε ηγγιζεν ο χρονοσ τησ επαγγελιασ ησ ωμοσεν ο θεοσ τω αβρααμ ηυξησεν ο λαοσ και επληθυνθη εν αιγυπτω
18Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
18αχρι ου ανεστη βασιλευσ ετεροσ οσ ουκ ηδει τον ιωσηφ
19This same dealing craftily with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their children, to the end they might not be kept alive.
19ουτοσ κατασοφισαμενοσ το γενοσ ημων εκακωσεν τουσ πατερασ ημων του ποιειν εκθετα τα βρεφη αυτων εισ το μη ζωογονεισθαι
20At the same time was Moses born, and he was acceptable to God: who was nourished three months in his father’s house.
20εν ω καιρω εγεννηθη μωσησ και ην αστειοσ τω θεω οσ ανετραφη μηνασ τρεισ εν τω οικω του πατροσ
21And when he was exposed, Pharao’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
21εκτεθεντα δε αυτον ανειλετο η θυγατηρ φαραω και ανεθρεψατο αυτον εαυτη εισ υιον
22And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds.
22και επαιδευθη μωσησ παση σοφια αιγυπτιων ην δε δυνατοσ εν λογοισ και εργοισ
23And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
23ωσ δε επληρουτο αυτω τεσσαρακονταετησ χρονοσ ανεβη επι την καρδιαν αυτου επισκεψασθαι τουσ αδελφουσ αυτου τουσ υιουσ ισραηλ
24And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him; and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury.
24και ιδων τινα αδικουμενον ημυνατο και εποιησεν εκδικησιν τω καταπονουμενω παταξασ τον αιγυπτιον
25And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them; but they understood it not.
25ενομιζεν δε συνιεναι τουσ αδελφουσ αυτου οτι ο θεοσ δια χειροσ αυτου διδωσιν αυτοισ σωτηριαν οι δε ου συνηκαν
26And the day following, he shewed himself to them when they were at strife; and would have reconciled them in peace, saying: Men, ye are brethren; why hurt you one another?
26τη τε επιουση ημερα ωφθη αυτοισ μαχομενοισ και συνηλασεν αυτουσ εισ ειρηνην ειπων ανδρεσ αδελφοι εστε υμεισ ινα τι αδικειτε αλληλουσ
27But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us?
27ο δε αδικων τον πλησιον απωσατο αυτον ειπων τισ σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και δικαστην εφ ημασ
28What, wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian?
28μη ανελειν με συ θελεισ ον τροπον ανειλεσ χθεσ τον αιγυπτιον
29And Moses fled upon this word, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons.
29εφυγεν δε μωσησ εν τω λογω τουτω και εγενετο παροικοσ εν γη μαδιαμ ου εγεννησεν υιουσ δυο
30And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the desert of mount Sina, an angel in a flame of fire in a bush.
30και πληρωθεντων ετων τεσσαρακοντα ωφθη αυτω εν τη ερημω του ορουσ σινα αγγελοσ κυριου εν φλογι πυροσ βατου
31And Moses seeing it, wondered at the sight. And as he drew near to view it, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying:
31ο δε μωσησ ιδων εθαυμαζεν το οραμα προσερχομενου δε αυτου κατανοησαι εγενετο φωνη κυριου προσ αυτον
32I am the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses being terrified, durst not behold.
32εγω ο θεοσ των πατερων σου ο θεοσ αβρααμ και ο θεοσ ισαακ και ο θεοσ ιακωβ εντρομοσ δε γενομενοσ μωσησ ουκ ετολμα κατανοησαι
33And the Lord said to him: Loose the shoes from thy feet, for the place wherein thou standest, is holy ground.
33ειπεν δε αυτω ο κυριοσ λυσον το υποδημα των ποδων σου ο γαρ τοποσ εν ω εστηκασ γη αγια εστιν
34Seeing I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, and I will send thee into Egypt.
34ιδων ειδον την κακωσιν του λαου μου του εν αιγυπτω και του στεναγμου αυτων ηκουσα και κατεβην εξελεσθαι αυτουσ και νυν δευρο αποστελω σε εισ αιγυπτον
35This Moses, whom they refused, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge? him God sent to be prince and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
35τουτον τον μωσην ον ηρνησαντο ειποντεσ τισ σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και δικαστην τουτον ο θεοσ αρχοντα και λυτρωτην απεστειλεν εν χειρι αγγελου του οφθεντοσ αυτω εν τη βατω
36He brought them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the desert forty years.
36ουτοσ εξηγαγεν αυτουσ ποιησασ τερατα και σημεια εν γη αιγυπτω και εν ερυθρα θαλασση και εν τη ερημω ετη τεσσαρακοντα
37This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel: A prophet shall God raise up to you of your own brethren, as myself: him shall you hear.
37ουτοσ εστιν ο μωσησ ο ειπων τοισ υιοισ ισραηλ προφητην υμιν αναστησει κυριοσ ο θεοσ ημων εκ των αδελφων υμων ωσ εμε
38This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on mount Sina, and with our fathers; who received the words of life to give unto us.
38ουτοσ εστιν ο γενομενοσ εν τη εκκλησια εν τη ερημω μετα του αγγελου του λαλουντοσ αυτω εν τω ορει σινα και των πατερων ημων οσ εδεξατο λογον ζωντα δουναι ημιν
39Whom our fathers would not obey; but thrust him away, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
39ω ουκ ηθελησαν υπηκοοι γενεσθαι οι πατερεσ ημων αλλ απωσαντο και εστραφησαν τη καρδια αυτων εισ αιγυπτον
40Saying to Aaron: Make us gods to go before us. For as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
40ειποντεσ τω ααρων ποιησον ημιν θεουσ οι προπορευσονται ημων ο γαρ μωσησ ουτοσ οσ εξηγαγεν ημασ εκ γησ αιγυπτου ουκ οιδαμεν τι γεγονεν αυτω
41And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
41και εμοσχοποιησαν εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ και ανηγαγον θυσιαν τω ειδωλω και ευφραινοντο εν τοισ εργοισ των χειρων αυτων
42And God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the books of the prophets: Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me for forty years, in the desert, O house of Israel?
42εστρεψεν δε ο θεοσ και παρεδωκεν αυτουσ λατρευειν τη στρατια του ουρανου καθωσ γεγραπται εν βιβλω των προφητων μη σφαγια και θυσιασ προσηνεγκατε μοι ετη τεσσαρακοντα εν τη ερημω οικοσ ισραηλ
43And you took unto you the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rempham, figures which you made to adore them. And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
43και ανελαβετε την σκηνην του μολοχ και το αστρον του θεου υμων ρεμφαν τουσ τυπουσ ουσ εποιησατε προσκυνειν αυτοισ και μετοικιω υμασ επεκεινα βαβυλωνοσ
44The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the form which he had seen.
44η σκηνη του μαρτυριου ην τοισ πατρασιν ημων εν τη ερημω καθωσ διεταξατο ο λαλων τω μωση ποιησαι αυτην κατα τον τυπον ον εωρακει
45Which also our fathers receiving, brought in with Jesus, into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David.
45ην και εισηγαγον διαδεξαμενοι οι πατερεσ ημων μετα ιησου εν τη κατασχεσει των εθνων ων εξωσεν ο θεοσ απο προσωπου των πατερων ημων εωσ των ημερων δαυιδ
46Who found grace before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
46οσ ευρεν χαριν ενωπιον του θεου και ητησατο ευρειν σκηνωμα τω θεω ιακωβ
47But Solomon built him a house.
47σολομων δε ωκοδομησεν αυτω οικον
48Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands, as the prophet saith:
48αλλ ουχ ο υψιστοσ εν χειροποιητοισ ναοισ κατοικει καθωσ ο προφητησ λεγει
49Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool. What house will you build me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my resting?
49ο ουρανοσ μοι θρονοσ η δε γη υποποδιον των ποδων μου ποιον οικον οικοδομησετε μοι λεγει κυριοσ η τισ τοποσ τησ καταπαυσεωσ μου
50Hath not my hand made all these things?
50ουχι η χειρ μου εποιησεν ταυτα παντα
51You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also.
51σκληροτραχηλοι και απεριτμητοι τη καρδια και τοισ ωσιν υμεισ αει τω πνευματι τω αγιω αντιπιπτετε ωσ οι πατερεσ υμων και υμεισ
52Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers:
52τινα των προφητων ουκ εδιωξαν οι πατερεσ υμων και απεκτειναν τουσ προκαταγγειλαντασ περι τησ ελευσεωσ του δικαιου ου νυν υμεισ προδοται και φονεισ γεγενησθε
53Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
53οιτινεσ ελαβετε τον νομον εισ διαταγασ αγγελων και ουκ εφυλαξατε
54Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him.
54ακουοντεσ δε ταυτα διεπριοντο ταισ καρδιαισ αυτων και εβρυχον τουσ οδοντασ επ αυτον
55But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up steadfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. And he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
55υπαρχων δε πληρησ πνευματοσ αγιου ατενισασ εισ τον ουρανον ειδεν δοξαν θεου και ιησουν εστωτα εκ δεξιων του θεου
56And they crying out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and with one accord ran violently upon him.
56και ειπεν ιδου θεωρω τουσ ουρανουσ ανεωγμενουσ και τον υιον του ανθρωπου εκ δεξιων εστωτα του θεου
57And casting him forth without the city, they stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, whose name was Saul.
57κραξαντεσ δε φωνη μεγαλη συνεσχον τα ωτα αυτων και ωρμησαν ομοθυμαδον επ αυτον
58And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
58και εκβαλοντεσ εξω τησ πολεωσ ελιθοβολουν και οι μαρτυρεσ απεθεντο τα ιματια παρα τουσ ποδασ νεανιου καλουμενου σαυλου
59And falling on his knees, he cried with a loud voice, saying: Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord. And Saul was consenting to his death.
59και ελιθοβολουν τον στεφανον επικαλουμενον και λεγοντα κυριε ιησου δεξαι το πνευμα μου
