[1]And asked him High The Priest if it is that these things so are |
| [2]And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, |
[2]He but said men brothers and fathers hear The Alaha of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Bayth-Nahrayn while not he would have come to dwell in Kharan |
| [3]And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. |
[3]And said He to him "Depart from your land and from the presence of the children of your relatives and come to the land which I shall show you |
| [4]Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. |
[4]And then went out Abraham from the land of The Chaldeans and came dwelt in Kharan and from there when died his father removed him Alaha to land this in which dwell you today |
| [5]And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. |
[5]And not he gave to him an inheritance in it also not a footprint of the foot and promised He to give it to him as to inherit it for himself and for his seed when not there was for him a son |
| [6]And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. |
[6]And speaking was with him Alaha when He said to him "Shall be your seed a stranger in a land foreign" and they will enslave him and they will afflict him four hundred years |
| [7]And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place. |
[7]And that people whom they serve servitude shall judge it I says Alaha and from after these things they shall go out and they shall serve Me in place this |
| [8]And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs. |
[8]And he gave him the covenant of circumcision and then begot Ishaq and circumcised him on the day eighth and Ishaq begot Yaqob and Yaqob begot twelve our fathers |
| [9]And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, |
[9]And they our fathers were jealous of Yoseph and sold him to Egypt and Alaha with him was |
| [10]And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. |
[10]And save him He did from all of them his sufferings and he gave him grace and wisdom before Pharoah The King of Egypt and appointed him The Ruler over Egypt and over his house entire |
| [11]Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. |
[11]And there was a famine and distress great in all Egypt and in the land of Canaan and there not was to them to satisfy our fathers |
| [12]But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. |
[12]And when heard Yaqob that there was produce in Egypt sent he our fathers first |
| [13]And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh. |
[13]And when they went the second time made known Yoseph himself to his brothers and was made known to Pharoah the family of Yoseph |
| [14]Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. |
[14]And send did Joseph and brought his father Yaqob and all his family and being they were in number seventy and five souls |
| [15]So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers, |
[15]And went down Yaqob to Egypt and died there he and our fathers |
| [16]And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. |
[16]And he was moved to Shekim and was placed in a tomb which bought had Abraham with silver from sons of Hamor |
| [17]But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, |
[17]And when arrived had the time of that which promised had in an oath Alaha to Abraham multiplied had the people and had grown strong in Egypt |
| [18]Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph. |
[18]Until arose king another over Egypt who that not knew had him Yoseph |
| [19]The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live. |
[19]He was crafty toward our race and did evil to our fathers and commanded to be casting out their male infants that not they would live |
| [20]In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months: |
[20]In it in time that was begotten Moshe and dear was to Alaha and was raised months three in the house of his father |
| [21]And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. |
[21]And when he was cast out from his mother found him the daughter of Pharaoh and she raised him for her son |
| [22]And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. |
[22]And was instructed Moshe in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and prepared was in his words and also in his deeds |
| [23]And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. |
[23]And when he was son of forty years came up it upon his heart to visit his brethren children of Israel |
| [24]And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: |
[24]And he saw one from the sons of his tribe being compelled by violence and avenged him and executed for him justice and killed him Egyptian that who wronged had him |
| [25]For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not. |
[25]And he had hoped that would have understood his brethren sons of Israel that Alaha by his hand would give them deliverance and not they understood |
| [26]And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another? |
[26]And day another appeared to them when contended they one with another and appealing he was to them to be reconciled when he said men brothers you are because of what? do wrong you one another |
| [27]But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? |
[27]He but who doing wrong was to his fellow thrust him away from him and said to him who? appointed you over us the Ruler and the Judge |
| [28]Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday? |
[28]Interrogative to kill me wish you as you killed yesterday the Egyptian |
| [29]Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons. |
[29]And fled Moshe at saying this and he was a traveler in the land of Midian and there were to him two sons |
| [30]And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. |
[30]And when were fulfilled to him there forty years appeared to him in the wilderness of the Mountain Sinai The Angel of the Lord in the fire which burned in a bush |
| [31]When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him, |
[31]And when saw Moshe he marveled at the vision and when he approached to see said to him the Lord in a voice |
| [32]Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. |
[32]I am Alaha of your fathers The Alaha of Abraham and of Ishaq and of Yaqob and as trembling was Moshe not daring he was to gaze at the vision |
| [33]Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground. |
[33]And said to him the Lord loose your shoes from your feet the ground for stand you on which holy is |
| [34]I have seen, 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, I will send thee into Egypt. |
[34]Looking I have seen the suffering of My people who in Egypt and its groans I have heard and I have come down to save them and now come I shall send you to Egypt |
| [35]This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. |
[35]This Moshe whom they rejected him when they were saying "Who appointed you over us the Ruler and the Judge to him this one Alaha the ruler and deliverer sent to them by the hand of angel that who appeared to him at the bush |
| [36]He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. |
[36]This is he who sent out them when he did signs and wonders and mighty works in the land of Egypt and at The Sea of Reeds and in the wilderness years forty |
| [37]This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. |
[37]This Moshe is he who said to the children of Israel "a prophet shall appoint to you the Lord Alaha from your brethren like me to him you shall listen |
| [38]This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: |
[38]This is who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel him who spoken had with him and with our fathers in The Mountain of Sinai and he was receiving] the words living which to us he would give |
| [39]To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, |
[39]And not chose to obey him our fathers but forsook him and in their hearts they returned them to Egypt |
| [40]Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. |
[40]When they were saying to Ahron make for us gods to go before us because this Moshe who brought us out from the land of Egypt not know we what? has become of him |
| [41]And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. |
[41]And they made to them a calf in days those and they sacrificed sacrifices to the idol and delighting were in the work of their hands |
| [42]Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? |
[42]And turned Alaha and handed over them to become worshippers to the hosts of the heavens so as it is written in the scriptures of the prophets Why? forty years in the wilderness animals or sacrifices have you brought to me sons of Israel |
| [43]Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. |
[43]But you carried the tabernacle of Malkom and the star of the god of Rephan of images which you have made to be worshiping them I shall move you farther than Babel |
| [44]Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. |
[44]Behold the tabernacle of the testimony of our fathers in the wilderness being was as whatever commanded He Who spoke with Moshe to make it in the fashion which He showed him |
| [45]Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David; |
[45]And it the same tabernacle also brought and carried it our fathers with Ieshu to the land that gave to them Alaha an inheritance from nations those which He drove out from before them and it was carried until the days of Dawid |
| [46]Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. |
[46]Him who found affection before Him Who is Alaha and he asked to find a tabernacle for The Alaha of Yaqob |
| [47]But Solomon built him an house. |
[47]Solomon but built for Him a house |
| [48]Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, |
[48]And The Exalted One not dwell in the product of hands as says The Prophet |
| [49]Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? |
[49]"Heaven My throne and the earth the stool which under My feet where is? the house that you will build for me says the Lord or where is? the place of My rest |
| [50]Hath not my hand made all these things? |
[50]Not? behold hand My has made these things all" |
| [51]Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. |
[51]Oh! stiff necks and who not are circumcised in their hearts and in their hearing you always against The Spirit of Holiness standing are as your fathers also you are |
| [52]Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: |
[52]Which? for of the prophets whom not have persecuted and have murdered your fathers those who before searched out concerning the coming of The Righteous One Him Whom you you have betrayed and you have killed Him |
| [53]Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. |
[53]And you have received The Law by the visitation of angels and not you have kept it |
| [54]When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. |
[54]And when heard they had these things they were filled with rage in themselves and gnashing they were with their teeth upon him |
| [55]But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, |
[55]And he when full he was of faith and The Spirit of Holiness gazed into Heaven and saw the glory of Alaha and Ieshu as He stood at the right side of Alaha |
| [56]And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. |
[56]And he said behold see I the heavens as they open and The Son of Man as He stands at the right hand of Alaha |
| [57]Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, |
[57]And they yelled with a voice loud and they stopped up their ears and they rushed upon him all of them |
| [58]And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. |
[58]And they seized they brought him outside of the city and stoning they were him and those who testified against him they placed their robes at the feet of a young man one who is called Shaul |
| [59]And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. |
[59]And stoning they were him Estephenos as he prayed and said our Lord Ieshu accept my spirit |
| [60]And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. |
[60]And when he set down the knees he cried out in a voice loud and he said our Lord not cause to stand against them this sin and when this he had said he fell asleep |
