Atti degli Apostoli - Acts 7

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ειπε δε ο αρχιερευς? Τωοντι ουτως εχουσι ταυτα;	1 Then the high priest said: Are these things so?
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,	2 Who 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.
3 και ειπε προς αυτον? Εξελθε εκ της γης σου και εκ της συγγενειας σου, και ελθε εις γην, την οποιαν θελω σοι δειξει.	3 And said to him: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
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?	4 Then 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.
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.	5 And 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.
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?	6 And 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.
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.	7 And 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.
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.	8 And 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.
9 Και οι πατριαρχαι, φθονησαντες τον Ιωσηφ, επωλησαν εις την Αιγυπτον. Ο Θεος ομως ητο μετ' αυτου,	9 And the patriarchs, through envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,
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.	10 And 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.
11 Ηλθε δε πεινα εφ' ολην την γην της Αιγυπτου και Χανααν και θλιψις μεγαλη, και δεν ευρισκον τροφας οι πατερες ημων.	11 Now there came a famine upon all Egypt and Chanaan, and great tribulation; and our fathers found no food.
12 Ακουσας δε ο Ιακωβ οτι υπηρχε σιτος εν Αιγυπτω, εξαπεστειλε πρωτην φοραν τους πατερας ημων?	12 But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
13 και εν τη δευτερα ανεγνωρισθη ο Ιωσηφ εις τους αδελφους αυτου, και εφανερωθη εις τον Φαραω το γενος του Ιωσηφ.	13 And at the second time, Joseph was known by his brethren, and his kindred was made known to Pharao.
14 Αποστειλας δε ο Ιωσηφ, εκαλεσε προς εαυτον τον πατερα αυτου Ιακωβ και πασαν την συγγενειαν αυτου εβδομηκοντα πεντε ψυχας.	14 And Joseph sending, called thither Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls.
15 Και κατεβη ο Ιακωβ εις Αιγυπτον και ετελευτησεν εκει αυτος και οι πατερες ημων,	15 So Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, and our fathers.
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.	16 And 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.
17 Καθως δε επλησιαζεν ο καιρος της επαγγελιας, την οποιαν ωμοσεν ο Θεος προς τον Αβρααμ, ηυξησεν ο λαος και επληθυνθη εν Αιγυπτω,	17 And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased, and were multiplied in Egypt,
18 εωσου εσηκωθη βασιλευς αλλος, οστις δεν ηξευρε τον Ιωσηφ.	18 Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
19 Ουτος δολιευθεις το γενος ημων, κατεθλιψε τους πατερας ημων, ωστε να καμη να ριπτωνται τα βρεφη αυτων, δια να μη ζωογονωνται?	19 This same dealing craftily with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their children, to the end they might not be kept alive.
20 εν τουτω τω καιρω εγεννηθη ο Μωυσης, και ειχε θειον καλλος? οστις ανετραφη τρεις μηνας εν τω οικω του πατρος αυτου.	20 At the same time was Moses born, and he was acceptable to God: who was nourished three months in his father's house.
21 Αφου δε ερριφθη, ανελαβεν αυτον η θυγατηρ του Φαραω και ανεθρεψεν αυτον δια να ηναι υιος αυτης.	21 And when he was exposed, Pharao's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
22 Και εδιδαχθη ο Μωυσης πασαν την σοφιαν των Αιγυπτιων και ητο δυνατος εν λογοις και εν εργοις.	22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds.
23 Ενω δε ετελειονε το τεσσαρακοστον ετος της ηλικιας αυτου, ηλθεν εις την καρδιαν αυτου να επισκεφθη τους αδελφους αυτου, τους υιους Ισραηλ.	23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
24 Και ιδων τινα αδικουμενον, υπερησπισθη αυτον και εκαμεν εκδικησιν υπερ του καταθλιβομενου, παταξας τον Αιγυπτιον.	24 And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him; and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury.
25 Ενομιζε δε οτι οι αδελφοι αυτου ηθελον νοησει οτι ο Θεος δια της χειρος αυτου διδει εις αυτους σωτηριαν? εκεινοι ομως δεν ενοησαν.	25 And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them; but they understood it not.
26 Την δε ακολουθον ημεραν εφανη εις αυτους, ενω εμαχοντο, και παρεκινησεν αυτους εις ειρηνην, ειπων? Ανθρωποι, αδελφοι εισθε σεις? δια τι αδικειτε αλληλους;	26 And 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?
27 Ο δε αδικων τον πλησιον απεσπρωξεν αυτον, ειπων? Τις σε κατεστησεν αρχοντα και δικαστην εφ' ημας;	27 But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us?
28 Μηπως θελεις συ να με φονευσης, καθ' ον τροπον εφονευσας χθες τον Αιγυπτιον;	28 What, wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian?
29 Τοτε ο Μωυσης εφυγε δια τον λογον τουτον και εγεινε παροικος εν γη Μαδιαμ, οπου εγεννησε δυο υιους.	29 And Moses fled upon this word, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons.
30 Και αφου συνεπληρωθησαν τεσσαρακοντα ετη, εφανη εις αυτον αγγελος Κυριου εν τη ερημω του ορους Σινα εν μεσω φλογος καιομενης βατου.	30 And 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.
31 Ο δε Μωυσης ιδων εθαυμασε δια το οραμα? και ενω επλησιαζε δια να παρατηρηση, ηλθε φωνη Κυριου προς αυτον?	31 And Moses seeing it, wondered at the sight. And as he drew near to view it, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying:
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.	32 I 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.
33 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Κυριος? Λυσον το υποδημα των ποδων σου? διοτι ο τοπος, επι του οποιου ιστασαι, ειναι γη αγια.	33 And the Lord said to him: Loose the shoes from thy feet, for the place wherein thou standest, is holy ground.
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.	34 Seeing 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.
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.	35 This 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.
36 Ουτος εξηγαγεν αυτους, αφου εκαμε τερατα και σημεια εν γη Αιγυπτου και εν τη Ερυθρα θαλασση και εν τη ερημω τεσσαρακοντα ετη.	36 He brought them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the desert forty years.
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.	37 This 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.
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.	38 This 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.
39 Εις τον οποιον οι πατερες ημων δεν ηθελησαν να υπακουσωσιν, αλλ' απεβαλον και εστραφησαν εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων εις Αιγυπτον	39 Whom our fathers would not obey; but thrust him away, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
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.	40 Saying 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.
41 Και κατεσκευασαν μοσχον εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και προσεφεραν θυσιαν εις το ειδωλον και ευφραινοντο εις τα εργα των χειρων αυτων.	41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
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;	42 And 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?
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.	43 And 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.
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?	44 The 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.
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?	45 Which 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.
46 οστις ευρε χαριν ενωπιον του Θεου και ηυχηθη να ευρη κατοικιαν δια τον Θεον του Ιακωβ.	46 Who found grace before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 Ο Σολομων δε ωκοδομησεν εις αυτον οικον.	47 But Solomon built him a house.
48 Αλλ' ο Υψιστος δεν κατοικει εν χειροποιητοις ναοις, καθως ο προφητης λεγει?	48 Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands, as the prophet saith:
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;	49 Heaven 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?
50 Η χειρ μου δεν εκαμε ταυτα παντα;	50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
51 Σκληροτραχηλοι και απεριτμητοι την καρδιαν και τα ωτα, σεις παντοτε αντιφερεσθε κατα του Πνευματος του Αγιου? καθως οι πατερες σας, ουτω και σεις.	51 You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also.
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?	52 Which 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:
53 οιτινες ελαβετε τον νομον εκ διαταγων αγγελων και δεν εφυλαξατε.	53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
54 Ακουοντες δε ταυτα, κατεκοπτοντο τας καρδιας αυτων και ετριζον τους οδοντας κατ' αυτου.	54 Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him.
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	55 But 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.
56 και ειπεν? Ιδου, θεωρω τους ουρανους ανεωγμενους και τον Υιον του ανθρωπου ισταμενον εκ δεξιων του Θεου.	56 And they crying out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and with one accord ran violently upon him.
57 Τοτε φωναξαντες μετα φωνης μεγαλης, εφραξαν τα ωτα αυτων και ωρμησαν ομοθυμαδον επ' αυτον,	57 And 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.
58 και εκβαλοντες εξω της πολεως ελιθοβολουν. Και οι μαρτυρες απεθεσαν τα ιματια αυτων εις τους ποδας νεανιου τινος ονομαζομενου Σαυλου.	58 And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
59 Και ελιθοβολουν τον Στεφανον, επικαλουμενον και λεγοντα? Κυριε Ιησου, δεξαι το πνευμα μου.	59 And 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.
60 Και γονατισας εφωναξε μετα φωνης μεγαλης? Κυριε, μη λογαριασης εις αυτους την αμαρτιαν ταυτην. Και τουτο ειπων εκοιμηθη.
