¹Then said the high priest, Are these things so?

¹Ülempreester küsis: 'Kas see on nõnda?'

²And 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,

²Aga Stefanos ütles: 'Mehed, vennad ja isad, kuulge! Kirkuse Jumal näitas ennast meie isale Aabrahamile, kui ta oli Mesopotaamias, enne Haaranisse elama asumist,

³And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

³ning ütles talle: 'Mine välja oma maalt ja oma sugulaste seast ja siirdu sinna maale, mille ma sulle näitan!'

⁴Then 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.

⁴Siis ta lahkus kaldealaste maalt ja asus elama Haaranisse. Ja pärast oma isa surma asus ta sealt ümber sellele maale, kus te nüüd elate.

⁵And 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.

⁵Ja Jumal ei andnud Aabrahamile siin jalatäitki maad pärandiks, ent tõotas selle anda omandiks talle ja ta järglastele - kuigi tal ei olnud last.

⁶And 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.

⁶Jumal rääkis nõnda: Tema järglased elavad võõrana võõral maal ja nad orjastatakse ja neile tehakse kurja nelisada aastat,

⁷And 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.

⁷ja rahvast, kes nad orjastab, mina karistan, ütles Jumal, ja pärast seda nad lähevad välja ja teenivad mind selles paigas.

⁸And 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.

⁸Ja Jumal andis talle ümberlõikamislepingu. Ja nii sündis talle Iisak ja ta lõikas tema ümber kaheksandal päeval. Ja Iisakile sündis Jaakob, ja Jaakobile need kaksteist peavanemat.

⁹And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,

⁹Ja peavanemad kadestasid Joosepit ja müüsid ta ära Egiptusesse, ent Jumal oli temaga

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰ja kiskus ta välja kõigist ta viletsustest ning andis talle armu ja tarkust vaarao, Egiptuse kuninga ees, ning see tõstis ta kogu Egiptusemaa ja terve oma koja ülemaks.

¹¹Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

¹¹Aga siis tuli nälg kogu Egiptuse- ja Kaananimaale ja suur viletsus ning meie isad ei leidnud toidupoolist.

¹²But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.

¹²Aga kui Jaakob sai kuulda, et Egiptuses on vilja, läkitas ta meie isad sinna esimest korda.

¹³And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

¹³Ja teisel korral andis Joosep ennast tunda oma vendadele, ja vaaraole sai teatavaks Joosepi päritolu.

¹⁴Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

¹⁴Siis Joosep laskis kutsuda enda juurde oma isa Jaakobi ja kogu oma suguvõsa, seitsekümmend viis hinge.

¹⁵So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,

¹⁵Ja Jaakob läks alla Egiptusesse. Ja tema suri seal ja ka meie isad,

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁶ja nad viidi Sekemisse ja pandi hauda, mille Aabraham oli hõbeda eest ostnud Hamori laste käest Sekemis.

¹⁷But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁷Kui nüüd lähenes selle tõotuse aeg, mille Jumal Aabrahamile oli andnud, kosus rahvas ja kasvas Egiptuses,

¹⁸Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.

¹⁸kuni tõusis teine kuningas, kes Joosepist midagi ei teadnud.

¹⁹The 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.

¹⁹See tarvitas kavalust meie soo kallal ja tegi kurja meie isadele, nõudes, et nende imikud heidetaks ära, nii et need ei jääks ellu.

²⁰In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:

²⁰Sel ajal sündis Mooses ja ta meeldis Jumalale. Teda kasvatati kolm kuud tema isa kojas.

²¹And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.

²¹Aga kui ta oli ära heidetud, siis vaarao tütar lapsendas ta ning kasvatas endale pojaks.

²²And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

²²Ja Moosesele õpetati kogu egiptlaste tarkust ja tema oli vägev oma sõnadelt ja tegudelt.

²³And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

²³Aga kui tal neljakümnes aasta täis sai, tuli tema südamesse mõte minna vaatama oma vendi, Iisraeli lapsi.

²⁴And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

²⁴Ja kui ta nägi ühele ülekohut tehtavat, läks ta appi ja maksis kätte selle eest, kellele tehti liiga, lüües egiptlase maha.

²⁵For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

²⁵Ta arvas, et ta vennad mõistavad, kuidas Jumal tema käe läbi annab neile pääste, aga nad ei mõistnud.

²⁶And 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?

²⁶Ja järgmisel päeval, sattudes nende juurde, kui nad tülitsesid omavahel, katsus ta neid lepitada ja ütles: 'Mehed, te olete ometi vennad, miks te siis teete teineteisele ülekohut?'

²⁷But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁷Aga see, kes tegi ligimesele ülekohut, tõukas ta eemale ja ütles: 'Kes sind on tõstnud meile ülemaks ja õigusemõistjaks?

²⁸Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?

²⁸Kas sa tahad ka mind hukata samal kombel, nagu sa eile hukkasid egiptlase?'

²⁹Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.

²⁹Nende sõnade pärast Mooses põgenes ja elas võõrana Midjanimaal, kus talle sündis kaks poega.

³⁰And 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.

³⁰Ja kui nelikümmend aastat sai täis, näitas talle ennast ingel Siinai mäe lähedal kõrbes tuleleegis kibuvitsapõõsas.

³¹When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him,

³¹Mooses imestas seda nägemust nähes, ja kui ta astus lähemale vaatama, kostis Issanda hääl:

³²Saying, 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'Mina olen sinu isade Jumal, Aabrahami ja Iisaki ja Jaakobi Jumal.' Aga Mooses hakkas värisema ega julgenud enam vaadata.

³³Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.

³³Siis ütles Issand talle: 'Võta jalatsid jalast, sest paik, kus sa seisad, on püha maa!

³⁴I 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.

³⁴Ma olen küllalt näinud oma rahva vaevamist Egiptuses ja olen kuulnud nende ägamist ning olen alla tulnud neid vabastama. Ja nüüd mine, ma läkitan su Egiptusesse!'

³⁵This 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.

³⁵Sellesama Moosese, kelle nad olid ära salanud, öeldes: 'Kes sind on tõstnud meile ülemaks ja õigusemõistjaks?', selle läkitas Jumal ülemaks ja lunastajaks ingli käe läbi, kes oli ennast talle näidanud kibuvitsapõõsas.

³⁶He 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.

³⁶Seesama Mooses viis nad välja, tehes imetegusid ja tunnustähti Egiptusemaal ja Punases meres ja kõrbes neljakümne aasta jooksul.

³⁷This 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.

³⁷See on see Mooses, kes ütles Iisraeli lastele: 'Jumal tõstab teie vendade seast teile Prohveti, seesuguse nagu mina.'

³⁸This 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:

³⁸Tema on see, kes oli koguduse seas kõrbes koos ingliga, kes kõneles talle Siinai mäel, ja oli koos meie isadega, kes said elavaid sõnu meile edasiandmiseks.

³⁹To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

³⁹Kuid meie isad ei tahtnud olla talle kuulekad, vaid tõukasid ta eemale ja pöördusid oma südamega Egiptuse poole,

⁴⁰Saying 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.

⁴⁰öeldes Aaronile: 'Tee meile jumalaid, kes käiksid meie eel, sest me ei tea, mis on juhtunud selle Moosesega, kes tõi meid välja Egiptusest!'

⁴¹And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

⁴¹Ja nad tegid noil päevil vasika ja viisid sellele ebajumalale ohvreid ja rõõmustasid oma käte tegude üle.

⁴²Then 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?

⁴²Jumal aga pööras neile selja ning jättis nad teenima taevavägesid, nõnda nagu prohvetite raamatus on kirjutatud: 'Kas teie, Iisraeli sugu, tõite mulle tapa- ja roaohvreid nelikümmend aastat kõrbes olles?

⁴³Yea, 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.

⁴³Ei, vaid te võtsite Mooloki telgi ja oma jumala Raifa tähe, kujud, mis te olite teinud, et neid kummardada; ja ma asutan teid teisele poole Paabelit.'

⁴⁴Our 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.

⁴⁴Meie isadel oli tunnistustelk kõrbes, nõnda nagu oli seadnud ingel, kes Moosesel käskis selle teha eeskuju järgi, mida ta oli näinud.

⁴⁵Which 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;

⁴⁵Selle telgi võtsid meie isad omaks ja koos Joosuaga tõid selle kaasa nende rahvaste maa vallutamisel, kelle Jumal oli tõuganud eemale meie isade palge eest. Nii see oli Taaveti päevini,

⁴⁶Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

⁴⁶Taavet leidis armu Jumala silmis ja palus, et ta leiaks eluaseme Jaakobi soole.

⁴⁷But Solomon built him an house.

⁴⁷Saalomon ehitas aga temale koja.

⁴⁸Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

⁴⁸Kuid Kõigekõrgem ei ela kätega tehtus, nagu prohvet ütleb:

⁴⁹Heaven 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'Taevas on mu troon ja maa minu jalajäri. Millise koja teie tahate mulle ehitada?' ütleb Issand.

⁵⁰Hath not my hand made all these things?

⁵⁰'Eks minu käsi ole kõik need teinud?!'

⁵¹Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

⁵¹Te kangekaelsed ja ümberlõikamatud südamelt ja kõrvadelt! Teie panete alati vastu Pühale Vaimule, nii nagu teie isad, nõnda teete teiegi.

⁵²Which 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:

⁵²Keda prohvetitest teie isad ei ole taga kiusanud? Ja nad on tapnud need, kes kuulutasid ette selle Õige tulemist, kelle reetjaiks ja mõrtsukaiks nüüd olete saanud teie,

⁵³Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

⁵³kes te saite Seaduse inglite antud korralduse kaudu, ent ei ole seda pidanud.'

⁵⁴When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

⁵⁴Aga kui nad seda kuulsid, lõikas see neil südamesse ja nad kiristasid hambaid.

⁵⁵But 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,

⁵⁵Stefanos aga, täis Püha Vaimu, vaatas ainiti taevasse ja nägi Jumala kirkust ning Jeesust seismas Jumala paremal käel

⁵⁶And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

⁵⁶ja ütles: 'Ennäe, ma näen taevaid avanevat ja Inimese Poja seisvat Jumala paremal käel.'

⁵⁷Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

⁵⁷Selle peale nad karjusid valju häälega ja oma kõrvu kinni hoides sööstsid nagu üks mees tema kallale

⁵⁸And 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.

⁵⁸ja kihutasid ta linnast välja ning viskasid teda kividega. Ja tunnistajad panid oma rõivad maha ühe noormehe jalgade ette, keda kutsuti Sauluseks,

⁵⁹And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

⁵⁹ja nad viskasid kividega Stefanost, kes valjusti hüüdis: 'Issand Jeesus, võta mu vaim vastu!'

⁶⁰And 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.

⁶⁰Ja ta laskus põlvili ning hüüdis suure häälega: 'Issand, ära pane seda neile patuks!' Ja kui ta seda oli öelnud, uinus ta.
