Mga Gawa 7
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
7 At sinabi ng dakilang saserdote, Tunay baga ang mga bagay na ito?
2 At sinabi niya, Mga kapatid na lalake at mga magulang, mangakinig kayo: Ang Dios ng kaluwalhatia'y napakita sa ating amang si Abraham, nang siya'y nasa Mesapotamia, bago siya tumahan sa Haran,
3 At sinabi sa kaniya, Umalis ka sa iyong lupain, at sa iyong kamaganakan, at pumaroon ka sa lupaing ituturo ko sa iyo.
4 Nang magkagayo'y umalis siya sa lupain ng mga Caldeo, at tumahan sa Haran: at buhat doon, pagkamatay ng kaniyang ama, ay inilipat siya ng Dios sa lupaing ito, na inyong tinatahanan ngayon:
5 At hindi siya pinamanahan ng anoman doon, kahit mayapakan ng kaniyang paa: at siya'y nangakong yao'y ibibigay na pinakaari sa kaniya, at sa kaniyang binhi pagkatapos niya, nang wala pa siyang anak.
6 At ganito ang sinalita ng Dios, na ang kaniyang binhi ay makikipamayan sa ibang lupain, at kanilang dadalhin sila sa pagkaalipin, at sila'y pahihirapang apat na raang taon.
7 At ang bansang sa kanila'y aalipin ay aking hahatulan, sabi ng Dios: at pagkatapos nito'y magsisialis sila, at paglilingkuran nila ako sa dakong ito.
8 At ibinigay niya sa kaniya ang tipan ng pagtutuli: at sa ganito'y naging anak ni Abraham si Isaac, at ito'y tinuli nang ikawalong araw; at naging anak ni Isaac si Jacob, at naging mga anak ni Jacob ang labingdalawang patriarka.
9 At ang mga patriarka sa udyok ng kainggitan kay Jose, ay ipinagbili siya, upang dalhin sa Egipto; at ang Dios ay sumasa kaniya,
10 At siya'y iniligtas sa lahat ng kaniyang kapighatian, at siya'y binigyan ng ikalulugod at karunungan sa harapan ni Faraon na hari sa Egipto; at siya'y ginawang gobernador sa Egipto at sa buong bahay niya.
11 Dumating nga ang kagutom sa buong Egipto at sa Canaan, at nagkaroon ng malaking kapighatian: at walang nasumpungang pagkain ang ating mga magulang.
12 Datapuwa't nang marinig ni Jacob na may trigo sa Egipto, ay sinugo niyang una ang ating mga magulang.
13 At sa ikalawa'y napakilala si Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid; at nahayag kay Faraon ang lahi ni Jose.
14 At nagsugo si Jose, at pinaparoon sa kaniya si Jacob, na kaniyang ama, at ang lahat niyang kamaganakan, na pitongpu't limang tao.
15 At lumusong si Jacob sa Egipto; at namatay siya, at ang ating mga magulang.
16 At sila'y inilipat sa Siquem, at inilagay sila sa libingang binili ni Abraham sa mga anak ni Hamor sa Siquem, sa halaga ng pilak.
17 Datapuwa't nang nalalapit na ang panahon ng pangako, na ginawa ng Dios kay Abraham, ang bayan ay kumapal at dumami sa Egipto,
18 Hanggang sa lumitaw ang ibang hari sa Egipto na hindi nakakikilala kay Jose.
19 Ito rin ay gumamit ng lalang sa ating lahi, at pinahirapan ang ating mga magulang, na ipinatapon ang kani-kanilang mga sanggol upang huwag mangabuhay.
20 Nang panahong yaon, ay ipinanganak si Moises, at siya'y totoong maganda; at siya'y inalagaang tatlong buwan sa bahay ng kaniyang ama:
21 At nang siya'y matapon, ay pinulot siya ng anak na babae ni Faraon, at siya'y inalagaang gaya ng sariling anak niya.
22 At tinuruan si Moises sa lahat ng karunungan ng mga Egipcio: at siya ay makapangyarihan sa kaniyang mga salita at mga gawa.
23 Datapuwa't nang siya'y magaapat na pung taong gulang na, ay tumugtog sa kaniyang puso na dalawin ang kaniyang mga kapatid na mga anak ni Israel.
24 At nang makita niya ang isa sa kanila na inaalipusta, ay kaniyang ipinagsanggalang siya, at ipinaghiganti ang pinipighati, at pinatay ang Egipcio:
25 At ang isip niya'y napagunawa ng kaniyang mga kapatid na ibinigay ng Dios sa kanila ang kaligtasan sa pamamagitan ng kamay niya: datapuwa't hindi nila napagunawa.
26 At nang kinabukasan ay napakita siya sa kanila samantalang sila'y nagaaway, at sila'y ibig sana niyang payapain, na sinasabi, mga Ginoo, kayo'y magkapatid; bakit kayo'y nagaalipustaan?
27 Datapuwa't itinulak siya ng umalipusta sa kaniyang kapuwa tao, na sinasabi, Sino ang naglagay sa iyo na puno at hukom sa amin?
28 Ibig mo bagang ako'y patayin mo, na gaya ng pagkapatay mo kahapon sa Egipcio?
29 At sa salitang ito'y tumakas si Moises, at nakipamayan sa lupain ng Midian, na doo'y nagkaanak siya ng dalawang lalake.
30 At nang maganap ang apat na pung taon, ay napakita sa kaniya ang isang anghel sa ilang ng bundok ng Sinai, sa ningas ng apoy sa isang mababang punong kahoy.
31 At nang makita ito ni Moises, ay nanggilalas sa tanawin; at nang siya'y lumapit upang pagmasdan, ay dumating ang isang tinig ng Panginoon,
32 Ako ang Dios ng iyong mga magulang, ang Dios ni Abraham, at ni Isaac, at ni Jacob. At si Moises ay nanginig at hindi nangahas tumingin.
33 At sinabi sa kaniya ng Panginoon, Alisin mo ang mga pangyapak sa iyong mga paa: sapagka't ang dakong kinatatayuan mo ay lupang banal.
34 Totoong nakita ko ang kapighatian ng aking bayang nasa Egipto, at narinig ko ang kanilang hibik, at ako'y bumaba upang sila'y iligtas: at ngayo'y halika, susuguin kita sa Egipto.
35 Ang Moises na ito na kanilang itinakuwil, na sinasabi, Sino ang sa iyo'y naglagay na puno at hukom? ay siyang sinugo ng Dios na maging puno at tagapagligtas sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng anghel na sa kaniya'y napakita sa mababang punong kahoy.
36 Pinatnugutan sila ng taong ito, pagkagawa ng mga kababalaghan at mga tanda sa Egipto, at sa dagat na Pula, at sa ilang sa loob ng apat na pung taon.
37 Ito'y yaong Moises, na nagsabi sa mga anak ni Israel, Palilitawin ng Dios sa inyo ang isang propeta na gaya ko, mula sa inyong mga kapatid.
38 Ito'y yaong naroon sa iglesia sa ilang na kasama ang anghel na nagsalita sa kaniya sa bundok ng Sinai, at kasama ang ating mga magulang: na siyang nagsitanggap ng mga aral na buhay upang ibigay sa atin:
39 Sa kaniya'y ayaw magsitalima ang ating mga magulang, kundi siya'y kanilang itinakuwil, at sa kanilang mga puso'y nangagbalik sa Egipto,
40 Na sinasabi kay Aaron, Igawa mo kami ng mga dios na mangunguna sa amin: sapagka't tungkol dito kay Moises, na naglabas sa amin sa lupain ng Egipto, ay hindi namin nalalaman kung ano ang nangyari sa kaniya.
41 At nagsigawa sila nang mga araw na yaon ng isang guyang baka, at nagsipaghandog ng hain sa diosdiosang yaon, at nangatuwa sa mga gawa ng kanilang mga kamay.
42 Datapuwa't tumalikod ang Dios, at sila'y pinabayaang magsisamba sa hukbo ng langit; gaya ng nasusulat sa aklat ng mga propeta, Hinandugan baga ninyo ako ng mga hayop na pinatay at mga hain Na apat na pung taon sa ilang, Oh angkan ni Israel?
43 At dinala ninyo ang tabernakulo ni Moloc, At ang bituin ng dios Refan, Ang mga larawang ginawa ninyo upang inyong sambahin: At dadalhin ko kayo sa dako pa roon ng Babilonia.
44 Sumaating mga magulang sa ilang ang tabernakulo ng patotoo, ayon sa itinakda ng nagsalita kay Moises, na kaniyang gawin yaon alinsunod sa anyong kaniyang nakita.
45 Na yao'y ipinasok din ng ating mga magulang sa kapanahunang ukol, na kasama ni Josue nang sila'y magsipasok sa inaari ng mga bansa, na pinalayas ng Dios sa harapan ng ating magulang, hanggang sa mga araw ni David;
46 Na nakasumpong ng biyaya sa paningin ng Dios, at huminging makasumpong ng isang tahanang ukol sa Dios ni Jacob.
47 Datapuwa't iginawa siya ni Salomon ng isang bahay.
48 Bagama't ang Kataastaasa'y hindi tumatahan sa mga bahay na gawa ng mga kamay; gaya ng sinasabi ng propeta,
49 Ang langit ay ang aking luklukan, At ang lupa ang tungtungan ng aking mga paa: Anong anyo ng bahay ang itatayo ninyo sa akin? sabi ng Panginoon: O anong dako ang aking pahingahan?
50 Hindi baga ginawa ng aking kamay ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito?
51 Kayong matitigas ang ulo, at di tuli ang puso't mga tainga, kayo'y laging nagsisisalangsang sa Espiritu Santo: kung ano ang ginawa ng inyong mga magulang, ay gayon din naman ang ginagawa ninyo.
52 Alin sa mga propeta ang hindi pinagusig ng inyong mga magulang? at kanilang pinatay ang nangagpahayag ng una ng pagdating ng Matuwid na Ito; na sa kaniya'y kayo ngayon ay nangaging mga tagapagkanulo at mamamatay-tao;
53 Kayo na nagsitanggap ng kautusan ayon sa pangangasiwa ng mga anghel, at hindi ninyo ginanap.
54 Nang marinig nga nila ang mga bagay na ito, ay nangasugatan sila sa puso, at siya'y pinagngalitan nila ng kanilang mga ngipin.
55 Datapuwa't siya, palibhasa'y puspos ng Espiritu Santo ay tumitig na maigi sa langit, at nakita niya ang kaluwalhatian ng Dios, at si Jesus na nakatindig sa kanan ng Dios,
56 At nagsabi, Narito, nakikita kong bukas ang mga langit, at ang Anak ng tao na nakatindig sa kanan ng Dios.
57 Datapuwa't sila'y nagsigawan ng malakas na tinig, at nangagtakip ng kanilang mga tainga, at nangagkaisang siya'y dinaluhong;
58 At siya'y kanilang itinapon sa labas ng bayan, at binato: at inilagay ng mga saksi ang kanilang mga damit sa mga paanan ng isang binata na nagngangalang Saulo.
59 At kanilang pinagbatuhanan si Esteban, na tumatawag sa Panginoon at nagsasabi, Panginoong Jesus, tanggapin mo ang aking espiritu.
60 At siya'y nanikluhod, at sumigaw ng malakas na tinig, Panginoon, huwag mong iparatang sa kanila ang kasalanang ito. At pagkasabi niya nito, ay nakatulog siya.

Stephen speaks to the Jewish leaders
7 The most important priest said to Stephen, ‘These men are saying things against you. Are these things true?’
2 Stephen said, ‘Men of Israel, my friends and leaders. Listen to what I say. Our great God appeared to our ancestor, Abraham, when he was still living in Mesopotamia. This happened before he went to Haran. 3 God said to Abraham, “Leave your own country and your own family and go to a different country. I will show you where that will be.”[a]
4 So Abraham left his country where the Chaldean people lived. He went to Haran and he stayed there. While he was there, his father died. Then God said to him, “Leave this place.” God then sent him to live in Canaan. This is where we are living now.[b]
5 At that time, God did not give Abraham any part of Canaan for his own family. He did not give Abraham even a very small piece of ground. But God made a promise to Abraham. He said, “This land will become your own country. It will also be your descendants' country.” When God said this to him, Abraham did not yet have any children. 6 This is what God said to him: “Your descendants will live in a foreign country for 400 years. The people in that country will cause your descendants to be their slaves. They will be very cruel to them. 7 But I will punish those people who cause your descendants to work as slaves for them. After I have done that, your descendants will leave that country. They will come to this place and worship me here.” That is what God said to Abraham.[c]
8 Then God made an covenant with Abraham that his descendants would be his special people. God said, “You must circumcise all your baby boys.”
Later, Abraham became the father of Isaac. Abraham circumcised Isaac when he was eight days old. Then Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob himself had 12 sons. These sons became the 12 ancestors of the families of Israel.[d]
9 One of Jacob's sons was called Joseph. Jacob was more kind to Joseph than to his other sons. For this reason, Joseph's brothers did not like him. So one day they took Joseph and they sold him as a slave. The men that bought Joseph took him to Egypt. There he became the slave of an important man. All this time, God took care of Joseph. 10 God saved him from all his troubles and he helped him to live in a wise way. Because of that, Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, liked Joseph. He saw that Joseph was very wise. So Pharaoh gave Joseph authority to rule Egypt and everyone in the king's own house.
11 Then there was a famine everywhere in Egypt and in Canaan. Everyone was very hungry and they suffered a lot. Our ancestors also had no food to eat. 12 Jacob heard news that Pharaoh had stored a lot of wheat in Egypt. So he sent his sons there to buy food from Pharaoh. This was the first time that they went to Egypt.
13 Later, Jacob sent his sons back to Egypt for a second time. This time, Joseph told his brothers who he really was. As a result, Pharaoh came to know about Joseph's family. 14 After this, Joseph sent a message to his father, that he should also come to Egypt with his whole family. At that time, there were 75 people in Jacob's family.
15 So Jacob went to Egypt with all his family. Jacob and his 12 sons, our ancestors, lived there until they died.[e]
16 When the people of Israel left Egypt, they carried with them the dead bodies of Joseph and his family. They took them back to Shechem and they buried them in a hole for dead people there. Abraham had bought that ground in Shechem from the family of a man called Hamor. He had paid Hamor the right money for it.’[f]
17 Stephen then said, ‘After many years, the time arrived for God to make his promise to Abraham become true. By this time, Jacob's family who still lived in Egypt had become very many. 18 Now, a different king ruled Egypt. This new king did not know anything about Joseph and what he had done. 19 He was very cruel to our ancestors and he caused them to suffer. When new babies were born, he said that our people must put them out of their homes. He said that because he wanted the babies to die.
20 It was at this time that Moses was born. He was a very beautiful baby. His parents took care of him for three months in their own home. 21 Then they had to put him outside. But Pharaoh's daughter found him and she took him to her home. She took care of him as if he was her own son.[g] 22 Moses had teachers who taught him all the wise things that the Egyptians knew. He learned how to speak well. He could also do powerful things.
23 When Moses was 40 years old, he went to see his own people, the people of Israel. 24 He saw that an Egyptian man was being cruel to one of the Israelite men. So he went to help the Israelite man. He killed the Egyptian man to punish him. 25 Moses thought that his own people would understand him. They would know that God was using him to save them. They would no longer be slaves to work for the Egyptians. But his people did not understand all this. 26 On the next day, Moses saw two Israelite men. They were fighting each other. He tried to make them become friends. He said to them, “Listen to me, men. You are both in the family of Israel. You should not hurt each other.”
27 The man who was being cruel to the other man pushed Moses away. He said to Moses, “You have no authority to rule us. You are not our judge. 28 I know that yesterday you killed an Egyptian man. So do you want to kill me too?”
29 When Moses heard this, he decided to run away. He went to the land of Midian and he lived there. He married a wife and they had two sons.
30 Moses lived in Midian for 40 years. Then, one day, he was in the wilderness near Sinai mountain. He saw a bush there that was burning. An angel appeared to him in the fire. 31 Moses was very surprised by what he saw. He went near to the bush so that he could see it better. Then he heard the Lord God speak to him from the bush. 32 God said, “I am the God of your ancestors. I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” Moses was very frightened. He was too afraid to look at the bush any more.
33 Then the Lord God said to Moses, “Remove your shoes from your feet, because you are standing in a very special place. This is my own place. 34 I have seen that the Egyptians are being cruel to my people. My people are crying with pain and I have heard them. Now I have come down to save them. So come here and listen to me. I will send you back to Egypt.” ’[h]
35 Then Stephen said, ‘Moses is the man that the people of Israel would not accept. They had said to him, “You have no authority to rule us. You are not our judge.” But God did send Moses to rule them. God himself sent Moses to save them from the Egyptians. God spoke to Moses through the angel that appeared to him in the bush. 36 So it was Moses who led the people of Israel out of Egypt. He did some powerful things before the people left Egypt. This showed that God was with him. He did more miracles at the Red Sea. Then he led the people through the wilderness for 40 years. He also did more miracles there.[i]
37 It was Moses who said to the people of Israel, “God will send you a prophet. He will be one of your own people. He will speak God's message as I have done.” 38 This is the same Moses who was leader of our people in the wilderness. He was there with our ancestors when the angel spoke to him on Sinai mountain. He received the message from God to give to us. Those words from God bring life to us.
39 But our ancestors would not obey Moses. They did not accept him as their leader. They wanted to go back to Egypt. 40 So the people said to Aaron, “Please make us some gods that we can carry in front of us. Yes, that man Moses brought us out of Egypt. But now we do not know what has happened to him.”[j]
41 It was then that the people made something that would be an idol for them. They made it from gold with the shape of a young bull. They killed some animals and they burned them as a gift for their idol. The people then had a big meal together because they were very happy. They thought that they had made something that was very good.[k]
42 But God turned away from his people. He let them do what they wanted to do. He let them worship the stars in the sky.
One of God's prophets wrote about this long ago:
“God said, ‘People of Israel, listen!
When you were in the wilderness for 40 years,
you brought sacrifices and gifts to me.
But you did not really worship me when you did that.
43 No. You carried with you the idol of the god called Molech.
You also carried an idol with the shape of a star,
to be like your god, Rephan.
These were the idols which you worshipped in the wilderness.
So now I will send you away from your own country.
You will go to live in places beyond Babylon.’ ”[l]
44 When our ancestors were in the wilderness, they carried a special tent with them.[m] It showed that God was there with them and that is where they worshipped him. God showed Moses how he should make that tent. The people made it in the way that God had said.
45 Later, our ancestors received that special tent for themselves. They brought it with them when they came with Joshua to live in this land. They took the land from the people who were living here. God chased out those people so that our ancestors could live there. The tent remained in this place until David became the king of Israel.[n]
46 God was happy with King David and he helped him very much. So David said to God, “May I build a special house where you can live among your people, the descendants of Jacob?” 47 But it was David's son, Solomon, who built a house for God.[o]
48 But we know that God does not live in a house that people have made. He is the powerful God who is over all. God's prophet Isaiah spoke these words:[p]
49 The Lord God says,
“Heaven is the seat where I sit to rule.
The earth is the place where I put my feet.
You could not build a house for me where I could live.
You could not make a place for me to rest there.
50 I am the one who has made all these things myself.” ’
51 Then Stephen said, ‘You people do not want to obey God! You do not want to listen to God's true message. You are the same as your ancestors. Like them, you always fight against what the Holy Spirit says. 52 Your ancestors did bad things to every prophet that God sent to them. They even killed the prophets who told them about the Righteous Man that God would send. Now you have given that Man to his enemies. You have made them kill him. 53 You are the people who received God's Law. God caused his angels to give that Law to your ancestors. But you have not obeyed it.’
The Jewish leaders kill Stephen
54 The group of Jewish leaders listened to Stephen. What he said made them very angry. They bit their teeth together because they were so angry. 55 But the Holy Spirit filled Stephen. He looked up to heaven and he saw the bright light of God's glory. He also saw Jesus, who was standing at the right side of God. 56 Stephen said, ‘Look! I can see into heaven itself. It is open! I can see the Son of Man and he is standing at the right side of God!’[q]
57 When the Jewish leaders heard this, they put their hands over their ears. Then they shouted very loudly at Stephen and they all ran towards him. 58 They took hold of Stephen and they pulled him out of the city. They removed their coats. They gave them to a young man to keep them safe. This young man was called Saul. Then they began to throw stones at Stephen to kill him.
59 While the men were throwing stones at him, Stephen prayed, ‘Lord Jesus, please receive my spirit as I die.’ 60 Then he fell down on his knees. He shouted, ‘Lord, please forgive these men. Do not punish them because they are doing this to me.’ After Stephen had said this, he died.
