¹The high priest said, “Are these things so?”

¹Veliki svećenik upita: "Je li to tako?"

²He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

²Stjepan odgovori: "Braćo i oci, čujte! Bog slave ukaza se ocu našemu Abrahamu dok bijaše u Mezopotamiji, prije negoli se nastani u Haranu,

³and said to him, ‘Get out of your land, and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’ Genesis 12:1

³i reče mu: Iziđi iz zemlje svoje, iz zavičaja svoga, hajde u zemlju koju ću ti pokazati.

⁴Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land, where you are now living.

⁴On nato iziđe iz zemlje kaldejske i nastani se u Haranu. Odande ga nakon smrti oca njegova Bog preseli u ovu zemlju u kojoj vi sada boravite.

⁵He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when he still had no child.

⁵U njoj mu ne dade ni stope baštine, nego obeća dati je u posjed njemu i potomstvu njegovu nakon njega, premda još nije imao djeteta.

⁶God spoke in this way: that his seed would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.

⁶Bog isto tako reče da će potomci njegovi biti pridošlice u zemlji tuđoj, da će ih porobljavati i tlačiti četiri stotine godina.

⁷‘I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,’ said God, ‘and after that will they come out, and serve me in this place.’ Genesis 15:13-14

⁷Ali narod kojemu budu robovali ja ću suditi, reče Bog. A nakon toga izići će i iskazati mi štovanje na ovome mjestu.

⁸He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.

⁸Dade mu i Savez obrezanja. Tako rodi Izaka i obreza ga osmi dan, Izak Jakova, Jakov dvanaest rodozačetnika."

⁹“The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him,

⁹"Rodozačetnici pak, iz zavisti, Josipa predadoše u Egipat. Ali Bog bijaše s njim

¹⁰and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

¹⁰te ga izbavljaše iz svih nevolja, podari ga naklonošću i mudrošću pred faraonom, kraljem egipatskim koji ga postavi za upravitelja nad Egiptom i nad cijelim dvorom svojim.

¹¹Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.

¹¹Onda u cijeloj zemlji egipatskoj i kanaanskoj nasta glad i nevolja velika: oci naši ne mogahu naći hrane.

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

¹²Kad Jakov doču da u Egiptu ima žita, posla onamo najprije oce naše.

¹³On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s race was revealed to Pharaoh.

¹³Drugi se put Josip očitova braći svojoj pa faraon dozna za podrijetlo Josipovo.

¹⁴Joseph sent, and summoned Jacob, his father, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.

¹⁴Josip tada posla po Jakova, oca svoga, i svu rodbinu, sedamdeset i pet duša.

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

¹⁵Jakov tako siđe u Egipat. I umrije on i oci naši.

¹⁶and they were brought back to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.

¹⁶Preneseni su u Sihem i položeni u grob koji je Abraham za srebro kupio od sinova Hamorovih u Sihemu."

¹⁷“But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁷"Kako se bližilo vrijeme obećanja koje Bog obreče Abrahamu, rastao je u Egiptu narod i množio se

¹⁸until there arose a different king, who didn’t know Joseph.

¹⁸dok ondje ne zavlada drugi kralj koji nije poznavao Josipa.

¹⁹The same took advantage of our race, and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to throw out their babies, so that they wouldn’t stay alive.

¹⁹Lukav prema rodu našemu, tlačio je on oce naše da bi djecu svoju izlagali da ne ostanu na životu.

²⁰At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.

²⁰U taj se čas rodi Mojsije. Bijaše božanski lijep. Tri je mjeseca hranjen u kući očinskoj,

²¹When he was thrown out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.

²¹a onda, kad je bio izložen, prigrli ga kći faraonova i othrani sebi za sina.

²²Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.

²²Tako Mojsije, odgojen u svoj mudrosti egipatskoj, bijaše silan na riječima i djelima."

²³But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , the children of Israel.

²³"Kad mu bijaše četrdeset godina, ponuka ga srce da pohodi braću svoju, sinove Izraelove.

²⁴Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.

²⁴I kad vidje kako je jednomu nanesena nepravda, suprotstavi se i osveti zlostavljenoga ubivši Egipćanina.

²⁵He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.

²⁵Mislio je da će braća njegova shvatiti kako će im Bog po njegovoj ruci pružiti spasenje, ali oni ne shvatiše.

²⁶“The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, ‘Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?’

²⁶Sutradan se pojavi pred onima koji su se tukli te ih stade nagovarati da se izmire: 'Ljudi, braća ste! Zašto zlostavljate jedan drugoga?'

²⁷But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁷Ali ga onaj što je zlostavljao svoga bližnjega odbi riječima: Tko te postavi glavarom i sucem nad nama?

²⁸Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’ Exodus 2:14

²⁸Kaniš li ubiti i mene kao što si jučer ubio onog Egipćanina?

²⁹Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.

²⁹Na te riječi pobježe Mojsije i skloni se u zemlju midjansku, gdje mu se rodiše dva sina."

³⁰“When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

³⁰"Nakon četrdeset godina ukaza mu se Anđeo u pustinji brda Sinaja u rasplamtjeloj vatri jednoga grma.

³¹When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came to him,

³¹Opazivši to, zadivi se Mojsije viđenju. Dok je prilazio da bolje promotri, eto glasa Gospodnjega:

³²‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Exodus 3:6 Moses trembled, and dared not look.

³²Ja sam Bog Otaca tvojih, Bog Abrahamov, Izakov i Jakovljev. Sav preplašen, Mojsije se ne usudi pogledati.

³³The Lord said to him, ‘Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.

³³A Gospodin će mu: Izuj obuću s nogu! Jer mjesto na kojem stojiš, sveto je tlo.

³⁴I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.’ Exodus 3:5,7-8,10

³⁴Vidio sam, vidio nevolju naroda svoga u Egiptu i uzdisaj mu čuo pa siđoh izbaviti ga. I sad hajde! Šaljem te u Egipat!"

³⁵“This Moses, whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

³⁵"Toga Mojsija - kojega su se odrekli rekavši: Tko te postavi glavarom i sucem? - toga im Bog kao glavara i otkupitelja posla po Anđelu koji mu se ukaza u grmu.

³⁶This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.

³⁶On ih izvede učinivši čudesa i znamenja u zemlji egipatskoj, u Crvenome moru i u pustinji kroz četrdeset godina.

³⁷This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. TR adds “You shall listen to him.” ’ Deuteronomy 18:15

³⁷To je onaj Mojsije koji reče sinovima Izraelovim: Proroka poput mene od vaše braće podići će vam Bog.

³⁸This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living oracles to give to us,

³⁸To je onaj koji za skupa u pustinji bijaše između Anđela što mu govoraše na brdu Sinaju i otaca naših; onaj koji je primio riječi životne da ih nama preda.

³⁹to whom our fathers wouldn’t be obedient, but rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,

³⁹Njemu se ne htjedoše pokoriti oci naši, nego ga odbiše i u srcima se svojima vratiše u Egipat

⁴⁰saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’ Exodus 32:1

⁴⁰rekavši Aronu: 'Napravi nam bogove koji će ići pred nama! Ta ne znamo što se dogodi s tim Mojsijem koji nas izvede iz zemlje egipatske.'

⁴¹They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.

⁴¹Tele načiniše u dane one, prinesoše žrtvu tom kumiru i veseljahu se djelima ruku svojih.

⁴²But God turned, and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, This idiom could also be translated “host of heaven,” or “angelic beings,” or “heavenly bodies.” as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

⁴²Bog se pak odvrati i prepusti ih da časte vojsku nebesku, kao što piše u Knjizi proročkoj: Prinosiste li mi žrtve i prinose četrdeset godina u pustinji, dome Izraelov?

⁴³You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship. I will carry you away Amos 5:25-27 beyond Babylon.’

⁴³Poprimiste šator Molohov i zvijezdu boga Refana - likove koje napraviste da biste im se klanjali. Odvest ću vas stoga u progonstvo onkraj Babilona!"

⁴⁴“Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;

⁴⁴"Oci naši imahu u pustinji Šator svjedočanstva kako odredi Onaj koji reče Mojsiju da se on načini po praliku koji je vidio.

⁴⁵which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David,

⁴⁵Taj su Šator preuzeli oci naši i pod Jošuom ga unijeli u posjed s kojega Bog pred licem njihovim rastjera narode. Tako bijaše sve do dana Davida,

⁴⁶who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.

⁴⁶koji je našao milost pred Bogom te molio da nađe boravište Bogu Jakovljevu.

⁴⁷But Solomon built him a house.

⁴⁷Istom Salomon izgradi mu Dom.

⁴⁸However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,

⁴⁸Ali Svevišnji u rukotvorinama ne prebiva, kao što veli prorok:

⁴⁹‘heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?’ says the Lord; ‘or what is the place of my rest?

⁴⁹Nebesa su moje prijestolje, a zemlja podnožje nogama. Kakav dom da mi sagradite, govori Gospodin, i gdje da bude mjesto mog počinka?

⁵⁰Didn’t my hand make all these things?’ Isaiah 66:1-2

⁵⁰Nije li ruka moja načinila sve to?

⁵¹“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.

⁵¹Tvrdovrati i neobrezanih srdaca i ušiju, vi se uvijek opirete Duhu Svetomu: kako oci vaši tako i vi!

⁵²Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.

⁵²Kojega od proroka nisu progonili oci vaši? I pobiše one koji su unaprijed navijestili dolazak Pravednika čiji ste vi sada izdajice i ubojice,

⁵³You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”

⁵³vi koji po anđeoskim uredbama primiste Zakon, ali ga se niste držali."

⁵⁴Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.

⁵⁴Kad su to čuli, uskipješe u srcima i počeše škripati zubima na njega.

⁵⁵But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

⁵⁵Ali on, pun Duha Svetoga, uprije pogled u nebo i ugleda slavu Božju i Isusa gdje stoji zdesna Bogu

⁵⁶and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

⁵⁶pa reče: "Evo vidim nebesa otvorena i Sina Čovječjega gdje stoji zdesna Bogu."

⁵⁷But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.

⁵⁷Vičući iza glasa, oni zatisnuše uši i navališe jednodušno na njega.

⁵⁸They threw him out of the city, and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

⁵⁸Izbaciše ga iz grada pa ga kamenovahu. Svjedoci odložiše haljine do nogu mladića koji se zvao Savao.

⁵⁹They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

⁵⁹I dok su ga kamenovali, Stjepan je zazivao: "Gospodine Isuse, primi duh moj!"

⁶⁰He kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

⁶⁰Onda se baci na koljena i povika iza glasa: "Gospodine, ne uzmi im ovo za grijeh!" Kada to reče, usnu.
