1 וַיֹּאמֶר הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל הַאֱמֶת הוּא אֲשֶׁר דִּבֵּרוּ1 Then the high priest said: Are these things so?
2 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים וְאָבוֹת שְׁמָעוּ אֱלֹהֵי הַכָּבוֹד נִרְאָה אֶל־אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ בִּהְיוֹתוֹ בַּאֲרַם נַהֲרַיִם לִפְנֵי שִׁבְתּוֹ בְחָרָן2 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 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו לֶךְ־לְךָ מֵאַרְצְךָ וּמִמּוֹלַדְתֶּךָ וּבֹא אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַרְאֶךָּ3 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 וַיֵּצֵא מֵאֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּים וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּחָרָן וְאַחֲרֵי מוֹת אָבִיו הֶעֱבִיר אֹתוֹ מִשָּׁם אֶל־הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם ישְׁבִים בָּהּ עָתָּה4 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 וְלֹא־נָתַן לוֹ נַחֲלָה בָהּ אַף־לֹא מִדְרַךְ כַּף־רָגֶל וַיַּבְטַח לְתִתָּהּ לַאֲחֻזָּה לוֹ וּלְזַרְעוֹ אַחֲרָיו וְעוֹד לֹא־הָיָה־לוֹ בֵן5 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 וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אֱלֹהִים כִּי־גֵר יִהְיֶה זַרְעוֹ בְּאֶרֶץ לֹא לָהֶם וַעֲבָדוּם וְעִנּוּ אֹתָם אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת שָׁנָה6 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 וְגַם אֶת־הַגּוֹי אֲשֶׁר יַעֲבֹדוּ דָּן אָנֹכִי אָמַר אֱלֹהִים וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן יֵצְאוּ וְיַעַבְדוּנִי בַּמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה7 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 וַיִּתֶּן־לוֹ אֶת־בְּרִית הַמִּילָה וּבְכֵן הוֹלִיד אֶת־יִצְחָק וַיָּמָל אֹתוֹ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי וְיִצְחָק הוֹלִיד אֶת־יַעֲקֹב וְיַעֲקֹב הוֹלִיד אֶת־שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר הָאָבוֹת8 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 וַיְקַנְאוּ הָאָבוֹת בְּיוֹסֵף וַיִּמְכְּרוּ אוֹתוֹ מִצְרָיְמָה וֵאלֹהִים הָיָה עִמּוֹ9 And the patriarchs, through envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,
10 וַיַּצִּילֵהוּ מִכָּל־צָרוֹתָיו וַיִּתֶּן־לוֹ חֵן וְחָכְמָה לִפְנֵי פַרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ מִצְרָיִם וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ שַׁלִּיט עַל־מִצְרַיִם וְעַל כָּל־בֵּיתוֹ10 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 וַיְהִי רָעָב עַל־כָּל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וּכְנַעַן וְצָרָה גְדוֹלָה וַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ לֹא־מָצְאוּ אֹכֶל11 Now there came a famine upon all Egypt and Chanaan, and great tribulation; and our fathers found no food.
12 וַיִּשְׁמַע יַעֲקֹב כִּי יֶשׁ־שֶׁבֶר בְּמִצְרָיִם וַיִּשְׁלַח־שָׁמָּה אֶת־אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בַּפַּעַם הָרִאשׁוֹנָה12 But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
13 וּבַפַּעַם הַשֵּׁנִית הִתְוַדַּע יוֹסֵף אֶל־אֶחָיו וַתִּגָּלֶה לְפַרְעֹה מִשְׁפַּחַת יוֹסֵף13 And at the second time, Joseph was known by his brethren, and his kindred was made known to Pharao.
14 וַיִּשְׁלַח יוֹסֵף וַיִּקְרָא לְיַעֲקֹב אָבִיו וּלְכָל־מִשְׁפַּחְתּוֹ בְּשִׁבְעִים וְחָמֵשׁ נָפֶשׁ14 And Joseph sending, called thither Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls.
15 וַיֵּרֶד יַעֲקֹב מִצְרָיְמָה וַיָּמָת הוּא וַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ15 So Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, and our fathers.
16 וַיּוּבְאוּ שְׁכֶמָה וַיּוּשְׂמוּ בַקֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר קָנָה יַעֲקֹב בְּכַסְפּוֹ מִיַּד בְּנֵי־חֲמוֹר אֲבִי שְׁכֶם16 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 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר קָרְבָה עֵת הַהַבְטָחָה אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע אֱלֹהִים לְאַבְרָהָם וַיִּגְדַּל הָעָם וַיִּרֶב בְּמִצְרָיִם17 And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased, and were multiplied in Egypt,
18 עַד כִּי־קָם מֶלֶךְ אַחֵר אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָדַע אֶת־יוֹסֵף18 Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
19 וְזֶה הִתְחַכַּם לְמִשְׁפַּחְתֵּנוּ וַיָּרַע לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ וַיְצַו אֹתָם לְהַשְׁלִיךְ אֶת־עֹלֲלֵיהֶם אֶל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה לְבִלְתִּי הַחֲיוֹתָם19 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 בָּעֵת הַהִיא נוֹלַד משֶׁה וַיְהִי־טוֹב לֵאלֹהִים וַיְהִי אָמוּן בְּבֵית אָבִיו שְׁלשָׁה יְרָחִים20 At the same time was Moses born, and he was acceptable to God: who was nourished three months in his father's house.
21 וְכַאֲשֶׁר הֻשְׁלַךְ אָסְפָה אֹתוֹ בַּת־פַּרְעֹה וַתְּגַדְּלֵהוּ לָהּ לְבֵן21 And when he was exposed, Pharao's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
22 וַיְלֻמַּד משֶׁה בְּכָל־חָכְמַת מִצְרָיִם וַיְהִי גִבּוֹר בִּדְבָרִים וּבְמַעֲשִׂים22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds.
23 וּבִמְלֹאת־לוֹ אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה עָלָה עַל־לִבּוֹ לִפְקֹד אֶת־אֶחָיו בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
24 וַיַּרְא אִישׁ אֶחָד מְעֻשָּׁק חִנָּם וַיּוֹשַׁע לוֹ וַיִּקֹּם נִקְמַת הַמֻּכֶּה בְּהַכּוֹתוֹ אֶת־הַמִּצְרִי24 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 וַיַּחֲשֹׁב בִּלְבָבוֹ כִּי יָבִינוּ אֶחָיו אֲשֶׁר עַל־יָדוֹ יִתֵּן הָאֱלֹהִים לָהֶם תְּשׁוּעָה וְהֵם לֹא הֵבִינוּ25 And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them; but they understood it not.
26 וַיְהִי בַּיּוֹם הַשֵּׁנִי וַיָּבֹא בְתוֹכָם וְהֵם נִצִּים וַיְבַקֵּשׁ לַעֲשׂוֹת שָׁלוֹם בֵּינֵיהֶם לֵאמֹר אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים אַתֶּם וְלָמָּה תַעַשְׁקוּ אִישׁ אֶת־אָחִיו26 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 וְהָעשֵׁק אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ הֲדָפוֹ לֵאמֹר מִי שָׂמְךָ לְאִישׁ שַׂר וְשֹׁפֵט עָלֵינוּ27 But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us?
28 הַלְהָרְגֵנִי אַתָּה אֹמֵר כַּאֲשֶׁר הָרַגְתָּ אֶתְמֹל אֶת־הַמִּצְרִי28 What, wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian?
29 וַיִּבְרַח משֶׁה עַל־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַיְהִי־גֵר בְּאֶרֶץ מִדְיָן וַיּוֹלֶד שָׁם שְׁנֵי בָנִים29 And Moses fled upon this word, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons.
30 וּבִמְלֹאת אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה נִרְאָה אֵלָיו מַלְאַךְ יְהוָֹה בְּמִדְבַּר הַר סִינַי בְּלַבַּת־אֵשׁ מִתּוֹךְ הַסְּנֶה30 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 וַיַּרְא משֶׁה וַיִּתְמַהּ עַל־הַמַּרְאֶה וּבְסוּרוֹ לִרְאוֹת וַיְהִי־קוֹל יְהוָֹה אֵלָיו31 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 אָנֹכִי אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֶיךָ אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם אֱלֹהֵי יִצְחָק וֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב וַיֶּחֱרַד משֶׁה וַיִּירָא מֵהַבִּיט32 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 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יְהוָֹה שַׁל נְעָלֶיךָ מֵעַל רַגְלֶיךָ כִּי הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה עוֹמֵד עָלָיו אַדְמַת־קֹדֶשׁ הוּא33 And the Lord said to him: Loose the shoes from thy feet, for the place wherein thou standest, is holy ground.
34 רָאֹה רָאִיתִי אֶת־עֳנִי עַמִּי אֲשֶׁר בְּמִצְרַיִם וְאֶת־נַאֲקָתָם שָׁמַעְתִּי וָאֵרֵד לְהַצִּילָם וְעַתָּה לְכָה וְאֶשְׁלָחֲךָ מִצְרָיְמָה34 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 הוּא משֶׁה אֲשֶׁר כִּחֲשׁוּ־בוֹ לֵאמֹר מִי שָׂמְךָ לְשַׂר וְשֹׁפֵט אֹתוֹ שָׁלַח הָאֱלֹהִים לְשַׂר וְגֹאֵל בְּיַד הַמַּלְאָךְ הַנִּרְאֶה אֵלָיו בַּסְּנֶה35 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 וְהוּא הוֹצִיאָם וַיַּעַשׂ אֹתוֹת וּמֹפְתִים בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וּבְיַם־סוּף וּבַמִּדְבָּר אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה36 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 הוּא משֶׁה אֲשֶׁר אָמַר אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל נָבִיא מִקֶּרֶב אֲחֵיכֶם כָּמֹנִי יָקִים לָכֶם יְהוָֹה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם אֵלָיו תִּשְׁמָעוּן37 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 הוּא אֲשֶׁר הָיָה בַקָּהָל בַּמִּדְבָּר עִם־הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר אֵלָיו בְּהַר סִינַי וְעִם־אֲבוֹתֵינוּ וַאֲשֶׁר קִבֵּל דְּבָרִים חַיִּים לָתֵת לָנוּ38 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 הוּא אֲשֶׁר אֲבוֹתֵינוּ לֹא אָבוּ לִשְׁמֹעַ לוֹ כִּי אִם־מָאֲסוּ אֹתוֹ וּלְבָבָם פָּנָה מִצְרָיְמָה39 Whom our fathers would not obey; but thrust him away, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
40 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־אַהֲרֹן עֲשֵׂה־לָנוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר יֵלְכוּ לְפָנֵינוּ כִּי זֶה משֶׁה אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱלָנוּ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לֹא יָדַעְנוּ מֶה־הָיָה לוֹ40 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 וַיַּעֲשֹוּ עֵגֶל בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם וַיִּזְבְּחוּ זְבָחִים לָאֱלִיל וַיִּשְׂמְחוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 וַיִּפֶן מֵהֶם הָאֱלֹהִים וַיִּתְּנֵם לַעֲבֹד אֶת־צְבָא הַשָּׁמָיִם כַּאֲשֶׁר כָּתוּב בְּסֵפֶר הַנְּבִיאִים הַזְּבָחִים וּמִנְחָה הִגַּשְׁתֶּם־לִי בַמִּדְבָּר אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל42 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 וּנְשָׂאתֶם אֵת סֻכַּת מִלְכֹּם וְאֶת־כּוֹכַב אֱלֹהֵיכֶם רַמְפָן הַצְּלָמִים אֲשֶׁר עֲשִׂיתֶם לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֹת לָהֶם וְהִגְלֵיתִי אֶתְכֶם מֵהָלְאָה לְבָבֶל43 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 מִשְׁכַּן הָעֵדוּת הָיָה לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ בַּמִּדְבָּר כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה הַמְדַבֵּר אֶל־משֶׁה לַעֲשׂוֹת אֹתוֹ כַּתַּבְנִית אֲשֶׁר רָאָה44 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 וַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ לְקָחֻהוּ וְגַם־הֱבִיאֻהוּ אִתָּם הֵם וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בְּרִשְׁתָּם אֶת־אַרְצוֹת הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר גֵּרַשׁ אֹתָם אֱלֹהִים מִפְּנֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ עַד־יְמֵי דָוִד45 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 וְהוּא מָצָא חֵן בְּעֵינֵי אֱלֹהִים וַיִּשְׁאַל לִמְצֹא מִשְׁכָּנוֹת לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב46 Who found grace before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 וּשְׁלֹמֹה בָּנָה־לוֹ בָיִת47 But Solomon built him a house.
48 אֲבָל הָעֶלְיוֹן לֹא יִשְׁכֹּן בְּהֵיכָלוֹת מַעֲשֵׂי יָדָיִם כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמַר הַנָּבִיא48 Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands, as the prophet saith:
49 הַשָּׁמַיִם כִּסְאִי וְהָאָרֶץ הֲדֹם רַגְלָי אֵי־זֶה בַיִת אֲשֶׁר תִּבְנוּ־לִי אָמַר יְהוָֹה וְאֵי־זֶה מָקוֹם מְנוּחָתִי49 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 הֲלֹא אֶת־כָּל־אֵלֶּה יָדִי־עָשָׂתָה50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
51 קְשֵׁי עֹרֶף וְעַרְלֵי לֵב וְאָזְנָיִם מַמְרִים הֱיִיתֶם תָּמִיד בְּרוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ כַּאֲבוֹתֵיכֶם גַּם־אַתֶּם51 You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also.
52 מִי מֵהַנְּבִיאִים אֲשֶׁר לֹא רְדָפוּהוּ אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם אַף־הֵמִיתוּ אֵת הַמְבַשְּׂרִים מִקֶּדֶם בִּיאַת הַצַּדִּיק אֲשֶׁר עַתָּה הֱיִיתֶם אַתֶּם מוֹסְרָיו וּמְרַצְּחָיו52 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 אַתֶּם אֲשֶׁר קִבַּלְתֶּם אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה עַל־יְדֵי מַלְאֲכוֹת הַמַּלְאָכִים וְלֹא שְׁמַרְתֶּם אוֹתָהּ53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
54 וַיְהִי כְשָׁמְעָם אֶת־אֵלֶּה הִתְרַגְּזוּ בִּלְבָבָם וַיַּחַרְקוּ עָלָיו שִׁנֵּיהֶם54 Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him.
55 וְהוּא מָלֵא רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ וַיַּבֵּט הַשָּׁמָיְמָה וַיַּרְא אֶת־כְּבוֹד אֱלֹהִים וְאֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ נִצָּב לִימִין הָאֱלֹהִים55 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 וַיֹּאמֶר הִנְנִי רֹאֶה אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם נִפְתָּחִים וְאֵת בֶּן־הָאָדָם נִצָּב לִימִין הָאֱלֹהִים56 And they crying out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and with one accord ran violently upon him.
57 וַיִּצְעֲקוּ בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל וַיַּאַטְמוּ אֶת־אָזְנֵיהֶם וַיִּתְנַפְּלוּ עָלָיו כֻּלָּם יָחַד57 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 וַיִּדְחָפֻהוּ חוּצָה לָעִיר וַיִּסְקְלוּ אֹתוֹ בָּאֲבָנִים וְהָעֵדִים פָּשְׁטוּ אֶת־בִּגְדֵיהֶם לְרַגְלֵי בָחוּר אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ שָׁאוּל58 And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
59 וַיִּסְקְלוּ אֶת־אִסְטְפָנוֹס וְהוּא מְשַׁוֵּעַ וְאֹמֵר אֲדֹנִי יֵשׁוּעַ קַבֵּל אֶת־רוּחִי59 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 וַיִּכְרַע עַל־בִּרְכָּיו וַיִּצְעַק בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל יְהוָֹה אַל־תִּשְׁמֹר לָהֶם אֶת־הַחֵטְא הַזֶּה וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי דַבְּרוֹ כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַיִּישָׁן
