Berean Standard Bible
1ειπεν δε ο αρχιερευσ ει αρα ταυτα ουτωσ εχει
1Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”
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
2And Stephen declared: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
3και ειπεν προσ αυτον εξελθε εκ τησ γησ σου και εκ τησ συγγενειασ σου και δευρο εισ γην ην αν σοι δειξω
3and told him, ‘Leave your country and your kindred and go to the land I will show you.’
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
4So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God brought him out of that place and into this land where you are now living.
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
5He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised to give possession of the land to Abraham and his descendants, even though he did not yet have a child.
6ελαλησεν δε ουτωσ ο θεοσ οτι εσται το σπερμα αυτου παροικον εν γη αλλοτρια και δουλωσουσιν αυτο και κακωσουσιν ετη τετρακοσια
6God told him that his descendants would be foreigners in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
7και το εθνοσ ω εαν δουλευσωσιν κρινω εγω ειπεν ο θεοσ και μετα ταυτα εξελευσονται και λατρευσουσιν μοι εν τω τοπω τουτω
7‘But I will punish the nation that enslaves them,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come forth and worship Me in this place.’
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
8Then God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, and Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. And Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.
9και οι πατριαρχαι ζηλωσαντεσ τον ιωσηφ απεδοντο εισ αιγυπτον και ην ο θεοσ μετ αυτου
9Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him
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
10and rescued him from all his troubles. He granted Joseph favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, who appointed him ruler over Egypt and all his household.
11ηλθεν δε λιμοσ εφ ολην την γην αιγυπτου και χανααν και θλιψισ μεγαλη και ουχ ευρισκον χορτασματα οι πατερεσ ημων
11Then famine and great suffering swept across Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers could not find food.
12ακουσασ δε ιακωβ οντα σιτα εν αιγυπτω εξαπεστειλεν τουσ πατερασ ημων πρωτον
12When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit.
13και εν τω δευτερω ανεγνωρισθη ιωσηφ τοισ αδελφοισ αυτου και φανερον εγενετο τω φαραω το γενοσ του ιωσηφ
13On their second visit, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, and his family became known to Pharaoh.
14αποστειλασ δε ιωσηφ μετεκαλεσατο τον πατερα αυτου ιακωβ και πασαν την συγγενειαν εν ψυχαισ εβδομηκοντα πεντε
14Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five in all.
15κατεβη δε ιακωβ εισ αιγυπτον και ετελευτησεν αυτοσ και οι πατερεσ ημων
15So Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our fathers died.
16και μετετεθησαν εισ συχεμ και ετεθησαν εν τω μνηματι ο ωνησατο αβρααμ τιμησ αργυριου παρα των υιων εμμορ του συχεμ
16Their bones were carried back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a price he paid in silver.
17καθωσ δε ηγγιζεν ο χρονοσ τησ επαγγελιασ ησ ωμοσεν ο θεοσ τω αβρααμ ηυξησεν ο λαοσ και επληθυνθη εν αιγυπτω
17As the time drew near for God to fulfill His promise to Abraham, our people in Egypt increased greatly in number.
18αχρι ου ανεστη βασιλευσ ετεροσ οσ ουκ ηδει τον ιωσηφ
18Then another king, who knew nothing of Joseph, arose over Egypt.
19ουτοσ κατασοφισαμενοσ το γενοσ ημων εκακωσεν τουσ πατερασ ημων του ποιειν εκθετα τα βρεφη αυτων εισ το μη ζωογονεισθαι
19He exploited our people and oppressed our fathers, forcing them to abandon their infants so they would die.
20εν ω καιρω εγεννηθη μωσησ και ην αστειοσ τω θεω οσ ανετραφη μηνασ τρεισ εν τω οικω του πατροσ
20At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in the sight of God. For three months he was nurtured in his father’s house.
21εκτεθεντα δε αυτον ανειλετο η θυγατηρ φαραω και ανεθρεψατο αυτον εαυτη εισ υιον
21When he was set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.
22και επαιδευθη μωσησ παση σοφια αιγυπτιων ην δε δυνατοσ εν λογοισ και εργοισ
22So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.
23ωσ δε επληρουτο αυτω τεσσαρακονταετησ χρονοσ ανεβη επι την καρδιαν αυτου επισκεψασθαι τουσ αδελφουσ αυτου τουσ υιουσ ισραηλ
23When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
24και ιδων τινα αδικουμενον ημυνατο και εποιησεν εκδικησιν τω καταπονουμενω παταξασ τον αιγυπτιον
24And when he saw one of them being mistreated, Moses went to his defense and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian who was oppressing him.
25ενομιζεν δε συνιεναι τουσ αδελφουσ αυτου οτι ο θεοσ δια χειροσ αυτου διδωσιν αυτοισ σωτηριαν οι δε ου συνηκαν
25He assumed his brothers would understand that God was using him to deliver them, but they did not.
26τη τε επιουση ημερα ωφθη αυτοισ μαχομενοισ και συνηλασεν αυτουσ εισ ειρηνην ειπων ανδρεσ αδελφοι εστε υμεισ ινα τι αδικειτε αλληλουσ
26The next day he came upon two Israelites who were fighting, and he tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why are you mistreating each other?’
27ο δε αδικων τον πλησιον απωσατο αυτον ειπων τισ σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και δικαστην εφ ημασ
27But the man who was abusing his neighbor pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us?
28μη ανελειν με συ θελεισ ον τροπον ανειλεσ χθεσ τον αιγυπτιον
28Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
29εφυγεν δε μωσησ εν τω λογω τουτω και εγενετο παροικοσ εν γη μαδιαμ ου εγεννησεν υιουσ δυο
29At this remark, Moses fled to the land of Midian, where he lived as a foreigner and had two sons.
30και πληρωθεντων ετων τεσσαρακοντα ωφθη αυτω εν τη ερημω του ορουσ σινα αγγελοσ κυριου εν φλογι πυροσ βατου
30After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.
31ο δε μωσησ ιδων εθαυμαζεν το οραμα προσερχομενου δε αυτου κατανοησαι εγενετο φωνη κυριου προσ αυτον
31When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came to him:
32εγω ο θεοσ των πατερων σου ο θεοσ αβρααμ και ο θεοσ ισαακ και ο θεοσ ιακωβ εντρομοσ δε γενομενοσ μωσησ ουκ ετολμα κατανοησαι
32‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.
33ειπεν δε αυτω ο κυριοσ λυσον το υποδημα των ποδων σου ο γαρ τοποσ εν ω εστηκασ γη αγια εστιν
33Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
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
34I have indeed seen the oppression of My people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’
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
35This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ is the one whom God sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36ουτοσ εξηγαγεν αυτουσ ποιησασ τερατα και σημεια εν γη αιγυπτω και εν ερυθρα θαλασση και εν τη ερημω ετη τεσσαρακοντα
36He led them out and performed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, at the Red Sea, and for forty years in the wilderness.
37ουτοσ εστιν ο μωσησ ο ειπων τοισ υιοισ ισραηλ προφητην υμιν αναστησει κυριοσ ο θεοσ ημων εκ των αδελφων υμων ωσ εμε
37This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’
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
38He was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. And he received living words to pass on to us.
39ω ουκ ηθελησαν υπηκοοι γενεσθαι οι πατερεσ ημων αλλ απωσαντο και εστραφησαν τη καρδια αυτων εισ αιγυπτον
39But our fathers refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
40ειποντεσ τω ααρων ποιησον ημιν θεουσ οι προπορευσονται ημων ο γαρ μωσησ ουτοσ οσ εξηγαγεν ημασ εκ γησ αιγυπτου ουκ οιδαμεν τι γεγονεν αυτω
40They said to Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us! As for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.’
41και εμοσχοποιησαν εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ και ανηγαγον θυσιαν τω ειδωλω και ευφραινοντο εν τοισ εργοισ των χειρων αυτων
41At that time they made a calf and offered a sacrifice to the idol, rejoicing in the works of their hands.
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
42But God turned away from them and gave them over to the worship of the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘Did you bring Me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43και ανελαβετε την σκηνην του μολοχ και το αστρον του θεου υμων ρεμφαν τουσ τυπουσ ουσ εποιησατε προσκυνειν αυτοισ και μετοικιω υμασ επεκεινα βαβυλωνοσ
43You have taken along the tabernacle of Molech and the star of your god Rephan, the idols you made to worship. Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’
44η σκηνη του μαρτυριου ην τοισ πατρασιν ημων εν τη ερημω καθωσ διεταξατο ο λαλων τω μωση ποιησαι αυτην κατα τον τυπον ον εωρακει
44Our fathers had the tabernacle of the Testimony with them in the wilderness. It was constructed exactly as God had directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.
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
45And our fathers who received it brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations God drove out before them. It remained until the time of David,
46οσ ευρεν χαριν ενωπιον του θεου και ητησατο ευρειν σκηνωμα τω θεω ιακωβ
46who found favor in the sight of God and asked to provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
47σολομων δε ωκοδομησεν αυτω οικον
47But it was Solomon who built the house for Him.
48αλλ ουχ ο υψιστοσ εν χειροποιητοισ ναοισ κατοικει καθωσ ο προφητησ λεγει
48However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
49ο ουρανοσ μοι θρονοσ η δε γη υποποδιον των ποδων μου ποιον οικον οικοδομησετε μοι λεγει κυριοσ η τισ τοποσ τησ καταπαυσεωσ μου
49‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me, says the Lord, or where will My place of repose be?
50ουχι η χειρ μου εποιησεν ταυτα παντα
50Has not My hand made all these things?’
51σκληροτραχηλοι και απεριτμητοι τη καρδια και τοισ ωσιν υμεισ αει τω πνευματι τω αγιω αντιπιπτετε ωσ οι πατερεσ υμων και υμεισ
51You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit, just as your fathers did.
52τινα των προφητων ουκ εδιωξαν οι πατερεσ υμων και απεκτειναν τουσ προκαταγγειλαντασ περι τησ ελευσεωσ του δικαιου ου νυν υμεισ προδοται και φονεισ γεγενησθε
52Which of the prophets did your fathers fail to persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One. And now you are His betrayers and murderers—
53οιτινεσ ελαβετε τον νομον εισ διαταγασ αγγελων και ουκ εφυλαξατε
53you who received the law ordained by angels, yet have not kept it.”
54ακουοντεσ δε ταυτα διεπριοντο ταισ καρδιαισ αυτων και εβρυχον τουσ οδοντασ επ αυτον
54On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were enraged, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
55υπαρχων δε πληρησ πνευματοσ αγιου ατενισασ εισ τον ουρανον ειδεν δοξαν θεου και ιησουν εστωτα εκ δεξιων του θεου
55But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
56και ειπεν ιδου θεωρω τουσ ουρανουσ ανεωγμενουσ και τον υιον του ανθρωπου εκ δεξιων εστωτα του θεου
56“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
57κραξαντεσ δε φωνη μεγαλη συνεσχον τα ωτα αυτων και ωρμησαν ομοθυμαδον επ αυτον
57At this they covered their ears, cried out in a loud voice, and rushed together at him.
58και εκβαλοντεσ εξω τησ πολεωσ ελιθοβολουν και οι μαρτυρεσ απεθεντο τα ιματια παρα τουσ ποδασ νεανιου καλουμενου σαυλου
58They dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59και ελιθοβολουν τον στεφανον επικαλουμενον και λεγοντα κυριε ιησου δεξαι το πνευμα μου
59While they were stoning him, Stephen appealed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
60θεισ δε τα γονατα εκραξεν φωνη μεγαλη κυριε μη στησησ αυτοισ την αμαρτιαν ταυτην και τουτο ειπων εκοιμηθη
60Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
