Acts 7
New King James Version
Stephen’s Address: The Call of Abraham
7 Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?”
2 And he said, (A)“Brethren and fathers, listen: The (B)God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in (C)Haran, 3 and said to him, (D)‘Get out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.’ 4 Then (E)he came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was (F)dead, He moved him to this land in which you now dwell. 5 And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, (G)He promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him. 6 But God spoke in this way: (H)that his descendants would dwell in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into (I)bondage and oppress them four hundred years. 7 (J)‘And the nation to whom they will be in bondage I will (K)judge,’ said God, (L)‘and after that they shall come out and serve Me in this place.’ 8 (M)Then He gave him the covenant of circumcision; (N)and so Abraham begot Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; (O)and Isaac begot Jacob, and (P)Jacob begot the twelve patriarchs.
The Patriarchs in Egypt
9 (Q)“And the patriarchs, becoming envious, (R)sold Joseph into Egypt. (S)But God was with him 10 and delivered him out of all his troubles, (T)and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. 11 (U)Now a famine and great [a]trouble came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers found no sustenance. 12 (V)But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. 13 And the (W)second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to the Pharaoh. 14 (X)Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob and (Y)all his relatives to him, [b]seventy-five people. 15 (Z)So Jacob went down to Egypt; (AA)and he died, he and our fathers. 16 And (AB)they were carried back to Shechem and laid in (AC)the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.
God Delivers Israel by Moses
17 “But when (AD)the time of the promise drew near which God had sworn to Abraham, (AE)the people grew and multiplied in Egypt 18 till another king (AF)arose who did not know Joseph. 19 This man dealt treacherously with our people, and oppressed our forefathers, (AG)making them expose their babies, so that they might not live. 20 (AH)At this time Moses was born, and (AI)was well pleasing to God; and he was brought up in his father’s house for three months. 21 But (AJ)when he was set out, (AK)Pharaoh’s daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son. 22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was (AL)mighty in words and deeds.
23 (AM)“Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. 24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended and avenged him who was oppressed, and struck down the Egyptian. 25 For he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not understand. 26 And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brethren; why do you wrong one another?’ 27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, (AN)‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? 28 Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?’ 29 (AO)Then, at this saying, Moses fled and became a dweller in the land of Midian, where he (AP)had two sons.
30 (AQ)“And when forty years had passed, an Angel [c]of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai. 31 When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he drew near to observe, the voice of the Lord came to him, 32 saying, (AR)‘I am the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ And Moses trembled and dared not look. 33 (AS)‘Then the Lord said to him, “Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground. 34 I have surely (AT)seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt; I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will (AU)send you to Egypt.” ’
35 “This Moses whom they rejected, saying, (AV)‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’ is the one God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer (AW)by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 (AX)He brought them out, after he had (AY)shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, (AZ)and in the Red Sea, (BA)and in the wilderness forty years.
Israel Rebels Against God
37 “This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, (BB)‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. (BC)Him[d] you shall hear.’
38 (BD)“This is he who was in the [e]congregation in the wilderness with (BE)the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, (BF)the one who received the living (BG)oracles[f] to give to us, 39 whom our fathers (BH)would not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt, 40 (BI)saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’ 41 (BJ)And they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and (BK)rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 42 Then (BL)God turned and gave them up to worship (BM)the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets:
(BN)‘Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness,
O house of Israel?
43 You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
And the star of your god Remphan,
Images which you made to worship;
And (BO)I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’
God’s True Tabernacle
44 “Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses (BP)to make it according to the pattern that he had seen, 45 (BQ)which our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the Gentiles, (BR)whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the (BS)days of David, 46 (BT)who found favor before God and (BU)asked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob. 47 (BV)But Solomon built Him a house.
48 “However, (BW)the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says:
49 ‘Heaven(BX) is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
What house will you build for Me? says the Lord,
Or what is the place of My rest?
50 Has My hand not (BY)made all these things?’
Israel Resists the Holy Spirit
51 “You (BZ)stiff-necked[g] and (CA)uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. 52 (CB)Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of (CC)the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, 53 (CD)who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.”
Stephen the Martyr
54 (CE)When they heard these things they were [h]cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. 55 But he, (CF)being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the (CG)glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 56 and said, “Look! (CH)I see the heavens opened and the (CI)Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; 58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And (CJ)the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, (CK)receive my spirit.” 60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, (CL)“Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Faptele Apostolilor 7
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Cuvântarea de apărare a lui Ştefan
7 Marele preot a zis: „Aşa stau lucrurile?” 2 Ştefan a răspuns: „Fraţilor(A) şi părinţilor, ascultaţi! Dumnezeul slavei S-a arătat părintelui nostru Avraam, când era în Mesopotamia, înainte ca să se aşeze în Haran. 3 Şi i-a zis: ‘Ieşi(B) din ţara ta şi din familia ta şi du-te în ţara pe care ţi-o voi arăta’. 4 El a ieşit atunci(C) din ţara haldeenilor şi s-a aşezat în Haran. De acolo, după moartea tatălui său, Dumnezeu l-a strămutat în ţara aceasta, în care locuiţi voi acum. 5 Din ţara aceea nu i-a dat nimic în stăpânire, nici măcar o palmă de loc, ci i-a făgăduit(D) că i-o va da în stăpânire lui şi seminţei lui după el, măcar că n-avea niciun copil. 6 Dumnezeu i-a spus că sămânţa(E) lui va locui într-o ţară străină, va fi robită şi va fi chinuită patru(F) sute de ani. 7 Dar neamul căruia îi vor fi robi, îl voi judeca Eu, a zis Dumnezeu. După aceea, vor ieşi şi-Mi vor(G) sluji în locul acesta. 8 Apoi i-a dat(H) legământul tăierii împrejur, şi astfel(I) Avraam, când a născut pe Isaac, l-a tăiat împrejur în ziua a opta, Isaac(J) a născut şi a tăiat împrejur pe Iacov şi Iacov(K) pe cei doisprezece patriarhi. 9 Iar(L) patriarhii, care pizmuiau pe Iosif, l-au vândut, ca să fie dus în Egipt. Dar(M) Dumnezeu a fost cu el 10 şi l-a izbăvit din toate necazurile lui; i-a dat înţelepciune şi trecere(N) înaintea lui Faraon, împăratul Egiptului, care l-a pus dregător peste Egipt şi peste toată casa lui. 11 A venit(O) o foamete în tot Egiptul şi Canaanul. Nevoia era mare, şi părinţii noştri nu găseau merinde. 12 Iacov(P) a auzit că în Egipt era grâu şi a trimis pe părinţii noştri întâiaşi dată acolo. 13 Şi(Q) când au venit a doua oară, Iosif a fost cunoscut de fraţii săi, şi Faraon a aflat din ce neam era Iosif. 14 Apoi(R), Iosif a trimis să cheme pe tatăl său Iacov şi pe toată(S) familia lui, şaptezeci şi cinci de suflete. 15 Iacov(T) s-a pogorât în Egipt, unde a murit(U), el şi părinţii noştri. 16 Şi(V) au fost strămutaţi la Sihem şi puşi în mormântul(W) pe care îl cumpărase Avraam cu o sumă de bani de la fiii lui Emor, în Sihem. 17 Se apropia vremea(X) când trebuia să se împlinească făgăduinţa pe care o făcuse Dumnezeu lui Avraam. Norodul a(Y) crescut şi s-a înmulţit în Egipt, 18 până când s-a ridicat un alt împărat, care nu cunoştea pe Iosif. 19 Împăratul acesta a uneltit împotriva neamului nostru şi a chinuit pe părinţii noştri, până acolo ca să-şi(Z) lepede pruncii, ca să nu trăiască.
Vremea lui Moise
20 Pe(AA) vremea aceasta s-a născut Moise, care era(AB) frumos înaintea lui Dumnezeu. El a fost hrănit trei luni în casa tatălui său. 21 Şi când a fost(AC) lepădat, l-a luat fiica lui Faraon şi l-a crescut ca pe copilul ei. 22 Moise a învăţat toată înţelepciunea egiptenilor şi era puternic(AD) în cuvinte şi în fapte. 23 El(AE) avea patruzeci de ani când i-a venit în inimă dorinţa să cerceteze pe fraţii săi, pe fiii lui Israel. 24 A văzut pe unul din ei suferind nedreptate, i-a luat apărarea, a răzbunat pe cel asuprit şi a omorât pe egiptean. 25 Credea că fraţii lui vor pricepe că Dumnezeu, prin mâna lui, le va da izbăvirea, dar n-au priceput. 26 A(AF) doua zi, când se băteau ei, Moise a venit în mijlocul lor şi i-a îndemnat la pace. ‘Oamenilor, a zis el, voi sunteţi fraţi, de ce vă nedreptăţiţi unul pe altul?’ 27 Dar cel ce nedreptăţea pe aproapele său l-a îmbrâncit şi i-a zis: ‘Cine(AG) te-a pus pe tine stăpânitor şi judecător peste noi? 28 Vrei să mă omori şi pe mine cum ai omorât ieri pe egiptean?’ 29 La(AH) auzul acestor vorbe, Moise a fugit şi s-a dus de a locuit ca străin în pământul Madian, unde a născut doi fii. 30 Peste(AI) patruzeci de ani, i s-a arătat un înger în pustia muntelui Sinai, în para focului unui rug. 31 Moise, când l-a văzut, s-a mirat de arătarea aceasta şi, pe când se apropia să vadă ce este, a auzit glasul Domnului, 32 care i-a zis: ‘Eu(AJ) sunt Dumnezeul părinţilor tăi, Dumnezeul lui Avraam, Dumnezeul lui Isaac şi Dumnezeul lui Iacov’. Şi Moise, tremurând, n-a îndrăznit să se uite. 33 Domnul(AK) i-a zis: ‘Scoate-ţi încălţămintea din picioare, căci locul pe care stai este un pământ sfânt. 34 Am(AL) văzut suferinţa poporului Meu, care este în Egipt, le-am auzit gemetele şi M-am pogorât să-i izbăvesc. Acum, du-te, te voi trimite în Egipt.’ 35 Pe acest Moise de care se lepădaseră ei, când au zis: ‘Cine te-a pus pe tine stăpânitor şi judecător?’ Dumnezeu l-a trimis ca stăpânitor şi izbăvitor, cu ajutorul(AM) îngerului, care i se arătase în rug. 36 El(AN) i-a scos din Egipt şi a făcut(AO) minuni şi semne în Egipt, la(AP) Marea Roşie şi(AQ) în pustie, patruzeci de ani. 37 Acest Moise a zis fiilor lui Israel: ‘Domnul, Dumnezeul vostru, vă va ridica dintre fraţii voştri un proroc(AR) ca mine: de el(AS) să ascultaţi’. 38 El(AT) este acela care, în adunarea israeliţilor din pustie, cu îngerul(AU) care i-a vorbit pe muntele Sinai şi cu părinţii noştri, a(AV) primit cuvinte(AW) vii, ca să ni le dea nouă. 39 Părinţii noştri n-au vrut să-l asculte, ci l-au nesocotit şi, în inimile lor, s-au întors spre Egipt 40 şi(AX) au zis lui Aaron: ‘Fă-ne nişte dumnezei, care să meargă înaintea noastră, căci acest Moise, care ne-a scos din ţara Egiptului, nu ştim ce s-a făcut’. 41 Şi(AY) în zilele acelea, au făcut un viţel, au adus jertfă idolului şi s-au bucurat de lucrul mâinilor lor. 42 Atunci, Dumnezeu S-a(AZ) întors de la ei şi i-a dat să se închine oştirii(BA) cerului, după cum este scris în cartea prorocilor: ‘Mi-aţi adus voi vite junghiate şi jertfe timp de patruzeci de ani în pustie, casă(BB) a lui Israel? 43 Aţi purtat cortul lui Moloh şi chipul stelei zeului Remfan, chipurile acelea, pe care le-aţi făcut ca să vă închinaţi lor! De aceea vă voi strămuta dincolo de Babilon.’ 44 Părinţii noştri aveau în pustie Cortul Întâlnirii, aşa cum îl rânduise Cel ce a spus lui Moise să-l(BC) facă după chipul pe care-l văzuse. 45 Şi(BD) părinţii noştri l-au adus, la rândul lor, sub povăţuirea lui Iosua, când au intrat în ţara stăpânită de neamurile pe(BE) care Dumnezeu le-a izgonit dinaintea părinţilor noştri, şi a rămas acolo până în zilele lui David. 46 David(BF) a căpătat milă înaintea lui Dumnezeu şi a(BG) cerut să ridice o locuinţă pentru Dumnezeul lui Iacov. 47 Şi(BH) Solomon a fost acela care I-a zidit o casă. 48 Dar(BI) Cel Preaînalt nu locuieşte în locaşuri făcute de mâini omeneşti, cum zice prorocul: 49 ‘Cerul(BJ) este scaunul Meu de domnie, şi pământul este aşternutul picioarelor Mele. Ce fel de casă Îmi veţi zidi voi Mie, zice Domnul, sau care va fi locul Meu de odihnă? 50 N-a făcut mâna Mea toate aceste lucruri?’ ”…
Uciderea lui Ştefan cu pietre
51 „Oameni tari(BK) la cerbice, netăiaţi împrejur(BL) cu inima şi cu urechile! Voi totdeauna vă împotriviţi Duhului Sfânt. Cum au făcut părinţii voştri, aşa faceţi şi voi. 52 Pe(BM) care din proroci nu i-au prigonit părinţii voştri? Au omorât pe cei ce vesteau mai dinainte venirea Celui(BN) Neprihănit, pe care L-aţi vândut acum şi L-aţi omorât 53 voi, care(BO) aţi primit Legea dată prin îngeri, şi n-aţi păzit-o!…” 54 Când(BP) au auzit ei aceste vorbe, îi tăia pe inimă şi scrâşneau din dinţi împotriva lui. 55 Dar Ştefan, plin(BQ) de Duhul Sfânt, şi-a pironit ochii spre cer, a văzut slava lui Dumnezeu şi pe Isus stând în picioare la dreapta lui Dumnezeu 56 şi a zis: „Iată, văd(BR) cerurile deschise şi pe Fiul(BS) omului stând în picioare la dreapta lui Dumnezeu”. 57 Ei au început atunci să răcnească, şi-au astupat urechile şi s-au năpustit toţi într-un gând asupra lui. 58 L-au târât(BT) afară din cetate şi l-au(BU) ucis cu pietre. Martorii(BV) şi-au pus hainele la picioarele unui tânăr, numit Saul. 59 Şi aruncau cu pietre în Ştefan, care(BW) se ruga şi zicea: „Doamne Isuse, primeşte(BX) duhul meu!” 60 Apoi, a îngenuncheat(BY) şi a strigat cu glas tare: „Doamne(BZ), nu le ţine în seamă păcatul acesta!” Şi după aceste vorbe, a adormit.
Acts 7
King James Version
7 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
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.
11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out 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.
14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, 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.
17 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
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.
20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:
21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
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?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat 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.
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,
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.
33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into 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.
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own 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?
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.
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.
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;
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him an house.
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith 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?
50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
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:
53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
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,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
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.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive 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.
