Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1The high priest said, “Are these things so?”
1大祭司就說：「這些事果然有嗎？」
2He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
2司提反 說：「諸位父兄請聽！當日我們的祖宗 亞伯拉罕 在 美索不達米亞 還未住 哈蘭 的時候，榮耀的上帝向他顯現，
3and said to him, ‘Get out of your land and away from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’
3對他說：『你要離開本地和親族，往我所要指示你的地方去。』
4Then 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.
4他就離開 迦勒底 人之地，住在 哈蘭 。他父親死了以後， 上帝 使他從那裏搬到你們現在所住之地。
5He 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.
5在這地方，上帝並沒有給他產業，連立足之地也沒有給他；但應許要將這地賜給他和他的後裔為業；那時他還沒有兒子。
6God 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.
6上帝說：『他的後裔必寄居外邦，那裏的人要叫他們作奴僕，苦待他們四百年。』
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.’
7上帝又說：『使他們作奴僕的那國，我要懲罰。以後他們要出來，在這地方事奉我。』
8He 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.
8上帝又賜他割禮的約。於是 亞伯拉罕 生了 以撒 ，第八日給他行了割禮。 以撒 生 雅各 ； 雅各 生十二位先祖。
9“The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him
9「先祖嫉妒 約瑟 ，把他賣到 埃及 去；上帝卻與他同在，
10and 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.
10救他脫離一切苦難，又使他在 埃及 王法老面前得恩典，有智慧。法老就派他作 埃及 國的宰相兼管全家。
11Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.
11後來 埃及 和 迦南 全地遭遇饑荒，大受艱難，我們的祖宗就絕了糧。
12But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
12雅各 聽見在 埃及 有糧，就打發我們的祖宗初次往那裏去。
13On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh.
13第二次 約瑟 與弟兄們相認，他的親族也被法老知道了。
14Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
14約瑟 就打發弟兄請父親 雅各 和全家七十五個人都來。
15Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers;
15於是 雅各 下了 埃及 ，後來他和我們的祖宗都死在那裏；
16and 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.
16又被帶到 示劍 ，葬於 亞伯拉罕 在 示劍 用銀子從 哈抹 子孫買來的墳墓裏。
17“But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
17「及至上帝應許 亞伯拉罕 的日期將到， 以色列 民在 埃及 興盛眾多，
18until there arose a different king who didn’t know Joseph.
18直到有不曉得 約瑟 的新王興起。
19The same took advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to abandon their babies, so that they wouldn’t stay alive.
19他用詭計待我們的宗族，苦害我們的祖宗，叫他們丟棄嬰孩，使嬰孩不能存活。
20At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.
20那時， 摩西 生下來，俊美非凡，在他父親家裏撫養了三個月。
21When he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and reared him as her own son.
21他被丟棄的時候，法老的女兒拾了去，養為自己的兒子。
22Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
22摩西 學了 埃及 人一切的學問，說話行事都有才能。
23But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
23「他將到四十歲，心中起意去看望他的弟兄 以色列 人；
24Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
24到了那裏 ，見他們一個人受冤屈，就護庇他，為那受欺壓的人報仇，打死了那 埃及 人。
25He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.
25他以為弟兄必明白上帝是藉他的手搭救他們；他們卻不明白。
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?’
26第二天，遇見兩個 以色列 人爭鬥，就勸他們和睦，說：『你們二位是弟兄，為甚麼彼此欺負呢？』
27But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
27那欺負鄰舍的把他推開，說：『誰立你作我們的首領和審判官呢？
28Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
28難道你要殺我，像昨天殺那 埃及 人嗎？』
29Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
29摩西 聽見這話就逃走了，寄居於 米甸 ；在那裏生了兩個兒子。
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.
30「過了四十年，在 西奈山 的曠野，有一位天使從荊棘火焰中向 摩西 顯現。
31When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, the voice of the Lord came to him,
31摩西 見了那異象，便覺希奇，正進前觀看的時候，有主的聲音說：
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.
32『我是你列祖的上帝，就是 亞伯拉罕 的上帝， 以撒 的上帝， 雅各 的上帝。』 摩西 戰戰兢兢，不敢觀看。
33The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
33主對他說：『把你腳上的鞋脫下來，因為你所站之地是聖地。
34I 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.’
34我的百姓在 埃及 所受的困苦，我實在看見了，他們悲歎的聲音，我也聽見了。我下來要救他們。你來！我要差你往 埃及 去。』
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.
35這 摩西 就是百姓棄絕說『誰立你作我們的首領和審判官』的；上帝卻藉那在荊棘中顯現之使者的手差派他作首領、作救贖的。
36This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
36這人領百姓出來，在 埃及 ，在 紅海 ，在曠野，四十年間行了奇事神蹟。
37This 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.’
37那曾對 以色列 人說『上帝要從你們弟兄中間給你們興起一位先知像我』的，就是這位 摩西 。
38This 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,
38這人曾在曠野會中和 西奈山 上，與那對他說話的天使同在，又與我們的祖宗同在，並且領受活潑的聖言傳給我們。
39to whom our fathers wouldn’t be obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
39我們的祖宗不肯聽從，反棄絕他，心裏歸向 埃及 ，
40saying 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.’
40對 亞倫 說：『你且為我們造些神像，在我們前面引路；因為領我們出 埃及 地的那個 摩西 ，我們不知道他遭了甚麼事。』
41They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
41那時，他們造了一個牛犢，又拿祭物獻給那像，歡喜自己手中的工作。
42But 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?
42上帝就轉臉不顧，任憑他們事奉天上的日月星辰，正如先知書上所寫的說： 以色列 家啊， 你們四十年間在曠野， 豈是將犧牲和祭物獻給我嗎？
43You 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.’
43你們抬着摩洛的帳幕和理番神的星， 就是你們所造為要敬拜的像。 因此 ，我要把你們遷到 巴比倫 外去。
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;
44「我們的祖宗在曠野，有法櫃的帳幕，是 上帝 吩咐 摩西 叫他照所看見的樣式做的。
45which 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,
45這帳幕，我們的祖宗相繼承受。當上帝在他們面前趕出外邦人去的時候，他們同 約書亞 把帳幕搬進承受為業之地，直存到 大衛 的日子。
46who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
46大衛 在上帝面前蒙恩，祈求為 雅各 的上帝預備居所；
47But Solomon built him a house.
47卻是 所羅門 為上帝造成殿宇。
48However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
48其實，至高者並不住人手所造的，就如先知所言：
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?
49主說：天是我的座位， 地是我的腳凳； 你們要為我造何等的殿宇？ 哪裏是我安息的地方呢？
50Didn’t my hand make all these things?’
50這一切不都是我手所造的嗎？
51“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.
51「你們這硬着頸項、心與耳未受割禮的人，常時抗拒聖靈！你們的祖宗怎樣，你們也怎樣。
52Which 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.
52哪一個先知不是你們祖宗逼迫呢？他們也把預先傳說那義者要來的人殺了；如今你們又把那義者賣了，殺了。
53You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”
53你們受了天使所傳的律法，竟不遵守。」
54Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
54眾人聽見這話就極其惱怒，向 司提反 咬牙切齒。
55But 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,
55但 司提反 被聖靈充滿，定睛望天，看見上帝的榮耀，又看見耶穌站在上帝的右邊，
56and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
56就說：「我看見天開了，人子站在上帝的右邊。」
57But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.
57眾人大聲喊叫，摀着耳朵，齊心擁上前去，
58They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
58把他推到城外，用石頭打他。作見證的人把衣裳放在一個少年人名叫 掃羅 的腳前。
59They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
59他們正用石頭打的時候， 司提反 呼籲 主 說：「求主耶穌接收我的靈魂！」
60He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
60又跪下大聲喊着說：「主啊，不要將這罪歸於他們！」說了這話，就睡了。 掃羅 也喜悅他被害。
