Acts of the Apostles 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then the high priest asked, "Is this so?"	1 Ειπε δε ο αρχιερευς? Τωοντι ουτως εχουσι ταυτα;
2 And he replied, "My brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was in Mesopotamia, before he had settled in Haran,	2 Ο δε ειπεν? Ανδρες αδελφοι και πατερες, ακουσατε. Ο Θεος της δοξης εφανη εις τον πατερα ημων Αβρααμ οτε ητο εν τη Μεσοποταμια, πριν κατοικηση εν Χαρραν,
3 and said to him, 'Go forth from your land and (from) your kinsfolk to the land that I will show you.'	3 και ειπε προς αυτον? Εξελθε εκ της γης σου και εκ της συγγενειας σου, και ελθε εις γην, την οποιαν θελω σοι δειξει.
4 So he went forth from the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. And from there, after his father died, he made him migrate to this land where you now dwell.	4 Τοτε εξελθων εκ της γης των Χαλδαιων κατωκησεν εν Χαρραν? και εκειθεν μετα τον θανατον του πατρος αυτου μετωκισεν αυτον εις την γην ταυτην, εις την οποιαν σεις κατοικειτε τωρα?
5 Yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot's length, but he did promise to give it to him and his descendants as a possession, even though he was childless.	5 και δεν εδωκεν εις αυτον κληρονομιαν εν αυτη ουδε βημα ποδος, υπεσχεθη δε οτι θελει δωσει αυτην κτημα εις αυτην και εις το σπερμα αυτου μετ' αυτον, ενω δεν ειχε τεκνον.
6 And God spoke thus, 'His descendants shall be aliens in a land not their own, where they shall be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years;	6 Ελαλησε δε προς αυτον ο Θεος ουτως, οτι το σπερμα αυτου θελει εισθαι παροικον εν γη ξενη, και θελουσι δουλωσει αυτο και καταθλιψει τετρακοσια ετη?
7 but I will bring judgment on the nation they serve,' God said, 'and after that they will come out and worship me in this place.'	7 και το εθνος, εις το οποιον θελουσι δουλωθη, εγω θελω κρινει, ειπεν ο Θεος? και μετα ταυτα θελουσιν εξελθει και θελουσι με λατρευσει εν τω τοπω τουτω.
8 Then he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day, as Isaac did Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.	8 Και εδωκεν εις αυτον διαθηκην περιτομης? και ουτως εγεννησε τον Ισαακ και περιετεμεν αυτον τη ογδοη ημερα, και ο Ισαακ εγεννησε τον Ιακωβ, και ο Ιακωβ τους δωδεκα πατριαρχας.
9 "And the patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into slavery in Egypt; but God was with him	9 Και οι πατριαρχαι, φθονησαντες τον Ιωσηφ, επωλησαν εις την Αιγυπτον. Ο Θεος ομως ητο μετ' αυτου,
10 and rescued him from all his afflictions. He granted him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, who put him in charge of Egypt and (of) his entire household.	10 και ηλευθερωσεν αυτον εκ πασων των θλιψεων αυτου και εδωκεν εις αυτον χαριν και σοφιαν ενωπιον Φαραω του βασιλεως της Αιγυπτου, οστις κατεστησεν αυτον κυβερνητην επι της Αιγυπτου και ολου του οικου αυτου.
11 Then a famine and great affliction struck all Egypt and Canaan, and our ancestors could find no food;	11 Ηλθε δε πεινα εφ' ολην την γην της Αιγυπτου και Χανααν και θλιψις μεγαλη, και δεν ευρισκον τροφας οι πατερες ημων.
12 but when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there a first time.	12 Ακουσας δε ο Ιακωβ οτι υπηρχε σιτος εν Αιγυπτω, εξαπεστειλε πρωτην φοραν τους πατερας ημων?
13 The second time, Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.	13 και εν τη δευτερα ανεγνωρισθη ο Ιωσηφ εις τους αδελφους αυτου, και εφανερωθη εις τον Φαραω το γενος του Ιωσηφ.
14 Then Joseph sent for his father Jacob, inviting him and his whole clan, seventy-five persons;	14 Αποστειλας δε ο Ιωσηφ, εκαλεσε προς εαυτον τον πατερα αυτου Ιακωβ και πασαν την συγγενειαν αυτου εβδομηκοντα πεντε ψυχας.
15 and Jacob went down to Egypt. And he and our ancestors died	15 Και κατεβη ο Ιακωβ εις Αιγυπτον και ετελευτησεν εκει αυτος και οι πατερες ημων,
16 and were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor at Shechem.	16 και μετεκομισθησαν εις Συχεμ και ετεθησαν εν τω μνηματι, το οποιον ηγορασεν ο Αβρααμ με τιμην αργυριου παρα των υιων του Εμμωρ πατρος του Συχεμ.
17 "When the time drew near for the fulfillment of the promise that God pledged to Abraham, the people had increased and become very numerous in Egypt,	17 Καθως δε επλησιαζεν ο καιρος της επαγγελιας, την οποιαν ωμοσεν ο Θεος προς τον Αβρααμ, ηυξησεν ο λαος και επληθυνθη εν Αιγυπτω,
18 until another king who knew nothing of Joseph came to power (in Egypt).	18 εωσου εσηκωθη βασιλευς αλλος, οστις δεν ηξευρε τον Ιωσηφ.
19 He dealt shrewdly with our people and oppressed (our) ancestors by forcing them to expose their infants, that they might not survive.	19 Ουτος δολιευθεις το γενος ημων, κατεθλιψε τους πατερας ημων, ωστε να καμη να ριπτωνται τα βρεφη αυτων, δια να μη ζωογονωνται?
20 At this time Moses was born, and he was extremely beautiful. For three months he was nursed in his father's house;	20 εν τουτω τω καιρω εγεννηθη ο Μωυσης, και ειχε θειον καλλος? οστις ανετραφη τρεις μηνας εν τω οικω του πατρος αυτου.
21 but when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son.	21 Αφου δε ερριφθη, ανελαβεν αυτον η θυγατηρ του Φαραω και ανεθρεψεν αυτον δια να ηναι υιος αυτης.
22 Moses was educated (in) all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in his words and deeds.	22 Και εδιδαχθη ο Μωυσης πασαν την σοφιαν των Αιγυπτιων και ητο δυνατος εν λογοις και εν εργοις.
23 "When he was forty years old, he decided to visit his kinsfolk, the Israelites.	23 Ενω δε ετελειονε το τεσσαρακοστον ετος της ηλικιας αυτου, ηλθεν εις την καρδιαν αυτου να επισκεφθη τους αδελφους αυτου, τους υιους Ισραηλ.
24 When he saw one of them treated unjustly, he defended and avenged the oppressed man by striking down the Egyptian.	24 Και ιδων τινα αδικουμενον, υπερησπισθη αυτον και εκαμεν εκδικησιν υπερ του καταθλιβομενου, παταξας τον Αιγυπτιον.
25 He assumed (his) kinsfolk would understand that God was offering them deliverance through him, but they did not understand.	25 Ενομιζε δε οτι οι αδελφοι αυτου ηθελον νοησει οτι ο Θεος δια της χειρος αυτου διδει εις αυτους σωτηριαν? εκεινοι ομως δεν ενοησαν.
26 The next day he appeared to them as they were fighting and tried to reconcile them peacefully, saying, 'Men, you are brothers. Why are you harming one another?'	26 Την δε ακολουθον ημεραν εφανη εις αυτους, ενω εμαχοντο, και παρεκινησεν αυτους εις ειρηνην, ειπων? Ανθρωποι, αδελφοι εισθε σεις? δια τι αδικειτε αλληλους;
27 Then the one who was harming his neighbor pushed him aside, saying, 'Who appointed you ruler and judge over us?	27 Ο δε αδικων τον πλησιον απεσπρωξεν αυτον, ειπων? Τις σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και δικαστην εφ' ημας;
28 Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'	28 Μηπως θελεις συ να με φονευσης, καθ' ον τροπον εφονευσας χθες τον Αιγυπτιον;
29 Moses fled when he heard this and settled as an alien in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.	29 Τοτε ο Μωυσης εφυγε δια τον λογον τουτον και εγεινε παροικος εν γη Μαδιαμ, οπου εγεννησε δυο υιους.
30 "Forty years later, an angel appeared to him in the desert near Mount Sinai in the flame of a burning bush.	30 Και αφου συνεπληρωθησαν τεσσαρακοντα ετη, εφανη εις αυτον αγγελος Κυριου εν τη ερημω του ορους Σινα εν μεσω φλογος καιομενης βατου.
31 When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight, and as he drew near to look at it, the voice of the Lord came,	31 Ο δε Μωυσης ιδων εθαυμασε δια το οραμα? και ενω επλησιαζε δια να παρατηρηση, ηλθε φωνη Κυριου προς αυτον?
32 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob.' Then Moses, trembling, did not dare to look at it.	32 Εγω ειμαι ο Θεος των πατερων σου, ο Θεος του Αβρααμ και ο Θεος του Ισαακ και ο Θεος του Ιακωβ. Εντρομος δε γενομενος ο Μωυσης, δεν ετολμα να παρατηρηση.
33 But the Lord said to him, 'Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.	33 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Κυριος? Λυσον το υποδημα των ποδων σου? διοτι ο τοπος, επι του οποιου ιστασαι, ειναι γη αγια.
34 I have witnessed the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them. Come now, I will send you to Egypt.'	34 Ειδον, ειδον την ταλαιπωριαν του λαου μου του εν Αιγυπτω και ηκουσα τον στεναγμον αυτων και κατεβην δια να ελευθερωσω αυτους? και τωρα ελθε, θελω σε αποστειλει εις Αιγυπτον.
35 This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, 'Who appointed you ruler and judge?' God sent as (both) ruler and deliverer, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.	35 Τουτον τον Μωυσην τον οποιον ηρνηθησαν ειποντες? Τις σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και δικαστην; τουτον ο Θεος απεστειλεν αρχηγον και λυτρωτην δια χειρος του αγγελου του φανεντος εις αυτον εν τη βατω.
36 This man led them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, at the Red Sea, and in the desert for forty years.	36 Ουτος εξηγαγεν αυτους, αφου εκαμε τερατα και σημεια εν γη Αιγυπτου και εν τη Ερυθρα θαλασση και εν τη ερημω τεσσαρακοντα ετη.
37 It was this Moses who said to the Israelites, 'God will raise up for you, from among your own kinsfolk, a prophet like me.'	37 Ουτος ειναι ο Μωυσης, οστις ειπε προς τους υιους του Ισραηλ? προφητην εκ των αδελφων σας θελει σας αναστησει Κυριος ο Θεος σας, ως εμε? αυτου θελετε ακουσει.
38 It was he who, in the assembly in the desert, was with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai and with our ancestors, and he received living utterances to hand on to us.	38 Ουτος ειναι οστις εν τη εκκλησια εν τη ερημω εσταθη μετα του αγγελου του λαλουντος προς αυτον εν τω ορει Σινα και μετα των πατερων ημων, και παρελαβε λογια ζωοποια δια να δωση εις ημας.
39 "Our ancestors were unwilling to obey him; instead, they pushed him aside and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,	39 Εις τον οποιον οι πατερες ημων δεν ηθελησαν να υπακουσωσιν, αλλ' απεβαλον και εστραφησαν εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων εις Αιγυπτον
40 saying to Aaron, 'Make us gods who will be our leaders. As for that Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'	40 ειποντες προς τον Ααρων? Καμε εις ημας θεους, οιτινες θελουσι προπορευεσθαι ημων? διοτι ουτος ο Μωυσης, οστις εξηγαγεν ημας εξ Αιγυπτου, δεν εξευρομεν τι συνεβη εις αυτον.
41 So they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifice to the idol, and reveled in the works of their hands.	41 Και κατεσκευασαν μοσχον εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και προσεφεραν θυσιαν εις το ειδωλον και ευφραινοντο εις τα εργα των χειρων αυτων.
42 Then God turned and handed them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: 'Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings for forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?	42 Οθεν εστραφη ο Θεος και παρεδωκεν αυτους εις το να λατρευσωσι την στρατιαν του ουρανου, καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον εν τω βιβλιω των προφητων. Μηπως προσεφερατε εις εμε σφαγια και θυσιας τεσσαρακοντα ετη εν τη ερημω, οικος Ισραηλ;
43 No, you took up the tent of Moloch and the star of (your) god Rephan, the images that you made to worship. So I shall take you into exile beyond Babylon.'	43 Μαλιστα ανελαβετε την σκηνην του Μολοχ και το αστρον του Θεου σας Ρεμφαν, τους τυπους, τους οποιους εκαμετε δια να προσκυνητε αυτους? δια τουτο θελω σας μετοικισει επεκεινα της Βαβυλωνος.
44 "Our ancestors had the tent of testimony in the desert just as the One who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern he had seen.	44 Η σκηνη του μαρτυριου ητο μετα των πατερων ημων εν τη ερημω, καθως διεταξεν εκεινος, οστις ελαλει προς τον Μωυσην, να κατασκευαση αυτην κατα τον τυπον τον οποιον ειχεν ιδει?
45 Our ancestors who inherited it brought it with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out from before our ancestors, up to the time of David,	45 την οποιαν και παραλαβοντες οι πατερες ημων, εφεραν μετα του Ιησου εις την κατακτηθεισαν γην των εθνων, τα οποια ο Θεος εξωσεν απ' εμπροσθεν των πατερων ημων, εως των ημερων του Δαβιδ?
46 who found favor in the sight of God and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the house of Jacob.	46 οστις ευρε χαριν ενωπιον του Θεου και ηυχηθη να ευρη κατοικιαν δια τον Θεον του Ιακωβ.
47 But Solomon built a house for him.	47 Ο Σολομων δε ωκοδομησεν εις αυτον οικον.
48 Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:	48 Αλλ' ο Υψιστος δεν κατοικει εν χειροποιητοις ναοις, καθως ο προφητης λεγει?
49 'The heavens are my throne, the earth is my footstool. What kind of house can you build for me? says the Lord, or what is to be my resting place?	49 Ο ουρανος ειναι θρονος μου, η δε γη υποποδιον των ποδων μου? ποιον οικον θελετε οικοδομησει δι' εμε, λεγει Κυριος, η ποιος ο τοπος της αναπαυσεως μου;
50 Did not my hand make all these things?'	50 Η χειρ μου δεν εκαμε ταυτα παντα;
51 "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always oppose the holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors.	51 Σκληροτραχηλοι και απεριτμητοι την καρδιαν και τα ωτα, σεις παντοτε αντιφερεσθε κατα του Πνευματος του Αγιου? καθως οι πατερες σας, ουτω και σεις.
52 Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They put to death those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become.	52 Τινα των προφητων δεν εδιωξαν οι πατερες σας; μαλιστα εφονευσαν εκεινους, οιτινες προκατηγγειλαν περι της ελευσεως του δικαιου, του οποιου σεις εγεινατε τωρα προδοται και φονεις?
53 You received the law as transmitted by angels, but you did not observe it."	53 οιτινες ελαβετε τον νομον εκ διαταγων αγγελων και δεν εφυλαξατε.
54 When they heard this, they were infuriated, and they ground their teeth at him.	54 Ακουοντες δε ταυτα, κατεκοπτοντο τας καρδιας αυτων και ετριζον τους οδοντας κατ' αυτου.
55 But he, filled with the holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,	55 Ο δε Στεφανος, πληρης ων Πνευματος Αγιου, ατενισας εις τον ουρανον, ειδε την δοξαν του Θεου και τον Ιησουν ισταμενον εκ δεξιων του Θεου
56 and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."	56 και ειπεν? Ιδου, θεωρω τους ουρανους ανεωγμενους και τον Υιον του ανθρωπου ισταμενον εκ δεξιων του Θεου.
57 But they cried out in a loud voice, covered their ears, and rushed upon him together.	57 Τοτε φωναξαντες μετα φωνης μεγαλης, εφραξαν τα ωτα αυτων και ωρμησαν ομοθυμαδον επ' αυτον,
58 They threw him out of the city, and began to stone him. The witnesses laid down their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.	58 και εκβαλοντες εξω της πολεως ελιθοβολουν. Και οι μαρτυρες απεθεσαν τα ιματια αυτων εις τους ποδας νεανιου τινος ονομαζομενου Σαυλου.
59 As they were stoning Stephen, he called out, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."	59 Και ελιθοβολουν τον Στεφανον, επικαλουμενον και λεγοντα? Κυριε Ιησου, δεξαι το πνευμα μου.
60 Then he fell to his knees and cried out in a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them"; and when he said this, he fell asleep.	60 Και γονατισας εφωναξε μετα φωνης μεγαλης? Κυριε, μη λογαριασης εις αυτους την αμαρτιαν ταυτην. Και τουτο ειπων εκοιμηθη.
