Οὗτος This ἐστίν is ὁ the Μωϋσῆς Moses ὁ - εἴπας having said τοῖς to the υἱοῖς sons Ἰσραήλ· of Israel, Προφήτην A prophet ὑμῖν for you ἀναστήσει will raise up ὁ - Θεός God ἐκ out from τῶν the ἀδελφῶν brothers ὑμῶν of you, ὡς like ἐμέ. me.’ οὗτος This ἐστίν is ὁ the [one] γενόμενος having been ἐν in τῇ the ἐκκλησίᾳ congregation ἐν in τῇ the ἐρήμῳ wilderness, μετά with τοῦ the ἀγγέλου angel τοῦ - λαλοῦντος speaking αὐτῷ to him ἐν in τῷ the ὄρει Mount Σινᾶ Sinai, καί and τῶν of the πατέρων fathers ἡμῶν, of us, ὅς who ἐδέξατο received λόγια oracles ζῶντα living δοῦναι to give ἡμῖν, to us, ᾧ to whom οὐ not ἠθέλησαν were willing ὑπήκοοι obedient γενέσθαι to be οἱ the πατέρες fathers ἡμῶν, of us, ἀλλά but ἀπώσαντο thrust away, καί and ἐστράφησαν turned back ἐν in ταῖς the καρδίαις hearts αὐτῶν of them εἰς to Αἴγυπτον Egypt, εἰπόντες having said τῷ - Ἀαρών· to Aaron, Ποίησον Make ἡμῖν us θεούς gods οἵ who προπορεύσονται will go before ἡμῶν· us. ὁ - γάρ As for Μωϋσῆς Moses οὗτος, this, ὅς who ἐξήγαγεν brought out ἡμᾶς us ἐκ from γῆς [the] land Αἰγύπτου, of Egypt, οὐ not οἴδαμεν we know τί what ἐγένετο has happened αὐτῷ. to him.’ Καί And ἐμοσχοποίησαν they made a calf ἐν in ταῖς the ἡμέραις days ἐκείναις those καί and ἀνήγαγον offered θυσίαν a sacrifice τῷ to the εἰδώλῳ idol, καί and εὐφραίνοντο they were rejoicing ἐν in τοῖς the ἔργοις works τῶν of the χειρῶν hands αὐτῶν. of them. ἔστρεψεν Turned away δέ however ὁ - Θεός God καί and παρέδωκεν delivered αὐτούς them λατρεύειν to worship τῇ the στρατιᾷ host τοῦ of οὐρανοῦ heaven, καθώς as γέγραπται it has been written ἐν in [the] βίβλῳ book τῶν of the προφητῶν· prophets: Μή Not σφάγια slain beasts καί and θυσίας sacrifices προσηνέγκατε did you offer μοι to Me, ἔτη years τεσσεράκοντα forty ἐν in τῇ the ἐρήμῳ, wilderness, οἶκος O house Ἰσραήλ; of Israel? καί And ἀνελάβετε You took up τήν the σκηνήν tabernacle τοῦ - Μολόχ of Moloch, καί and τό the ἄστρον star τοῦ of the θεοῦ god ὑμῶν of you Ῥαιφάν, Rephan, τούς the τύπους images οὕς that ἐποιήσατε you made προσκυνεῖν to worship αὐτοῖς, them; καί and μετοικιῶ I will remove ὑμᾶς you ἐπέκεινα beyond Βαβυλῶνος.

ἡ The σκηνή tabernacle τοῦ of the μαρτυρίου testimony ἦν was τοῖς with πατράσιν fathers ἡμῶν of us ἐν in τῇ the ἐρήμῳ wilderness, καθώς just as διετάξατο had commanded ὁ the [One] λαλῶν speaking τῷ - Μωϋσῇ to Moses, ποιῆσαι to make αὐτήν it κατά according to τόν the τύπον pattern ὅν that ἑωράκει· he had seen, ἥν which καί also εἰσήγαγον brought [it], διαδεξάμενοι having received by succession, οἱ the πατέρες fathers ἡμῶν of us, μετά with Ἰησοῦ Joshua ἐν in τῇ the κατασχέσει taking possession τῶν of the ἐθνῶν, nations ὧν whom ἐξῶσεν drove out ὁ - Θεός God ἀπό from [the] προσώπου face τῶν of the πατέρων fathers ἡμῶν of us, ἕως until τῶν the ἡμερῶν days Δαυίδ, of David, ὅς who εὗρεν found χάριν favor ἐνώπιον before τοῦ - Θεοῦ God καί and ᾐτήσατο asked εὑρεῖν to find σκήνωμα a dwelling place τῷ for the οἴκῳ house Ἰακώβ. of Jacob.

Ἀλλ ̓ Yet οὐ not ὁ the Ὕψιστος Most High ἐν in χειροποιήτοις hand-made [houses] κατοικεῖ, dwells. καθώς As ὁ the προφήτης prophet λέγει· says: ὁ - οὐρανός Heaven [is] μοι to Me θρόνος, a throne, ἡ - δέ and γῆ the earth ὑποπόδιον a footstool τῶν of the ποδῶν feet μου· of Me. ποῖον What kind of οἶκον house οἰκοδομήσετε will you build μοι, Me, λέγει says Κύριος, [the] Lord, ἤ or τίς what [is] τόπος [the] place τῆς of the καταπαύσεως rest μου; of Me? οὐχί Not ἡ the χείρ hand μου of Me ἐποίησεν has made ταῦτα these things πάντα; all?’

Σκληροτράχηλοι Stiff-necked καί and ἀπερίτμητοι uncircumcised καρδίαις in heart καί and τοῖς - ὠσίν, ears, ὑμεῖς you ἀεί always τῷ the Πνεύματι Spirit τῷ - Ἁγίῳ Holy ἀντιπίπτετε resist; ὡς as οἱ the πατέρες fathers ὑμῶν of you, καί also ὑμεῖς. you. τίνα Which τῶν of the προφητῶν prophets οὐ not ἐδίωξαν did persecute οἱ the πατέρες fathers ὑμῶν; of you? καί And ἀπέκτειναν they killed τούς those προκαταγγείλαντας having foretold περί about τῆς the ἐλεύσεως coming τοῦ of the Δικαίου, Righteous One, οὗ of whom νῦν now ὑμεῖς you προδόται betrayers καί and φονεῖς murderers ἐγένεσθε, have become, οἵτινες who ἐλάβετε received τόν the νόμον law εἰς by διαταγάς [the] ordination ἀγγέλων of angels, καί and οὐ not ἐφυλάξατε. have kept [it].

Ἀκούοντες Hearing δέ now ταῦτα these things, διεπρίοντο they were cut ταῖς in the καρδίαις hearts αὐτῶν of them καί and ἔβρυχον began gnashing τούς the ὀδόντας teeth ἐπ ̓ at αὐτόν. him. ὑπάρχων He being δέ however πλήρης full Πνεύματος of [the] Spirit Ἁγίου Holy, ἀτενίσας having looked intently εἰς into τόν - οὐρανόν heaven, εἶδεν saw δόξαν [the] glory Θεοῦ of God καί and Ἰησοῦν Jesus ἑστῶτα standing ἐκ at δεξιῶν the right hand τοῦ - Θεοῦ of God, καί and εἶπεν· he said, Ἰδού Behold, θεωρῶ I see τούς the οὐρανούς heavens διηνοιγμένους having been opened, καί and τόν the Υἱόν Son τοῦ - ἀνθρώπου of Man ἐκ at δεξιῶν the right [hand] ἑστῶτα standing τοῦ - Θεοῦ. of God. Κράξαντες Having cried out δέ then φωνῇ in a voice μεγάλῃ loud, συνέσχον they held τά the ὦτα ears αὐτῶν of them καί and ὥρμησαν rushed ὁμοθυμαδόν with one accord ἐπ ̓ upon αὐτόν him, καί and ἐκβαλόντες having cast [him] ἔξω out of τῆς the πόλεως city, ἐλιθοβόλουν. they began to stone [him]. καί And οἱ the μάρτυρες witnesses ἀπέθεντο laid aside τά the ἱμάτια garments αὐτῶν of them παρά at τούς the πόδας feet νεανίου of a young man καλουμένου named Σαύλου, Saul. Καί And [as] ἐλιθοβόλουν they were stoning τόν - Στέφανον Stephen, ἐπικαλούμενον he was calling out καί and λέγοντα· saying, Κύριε Lord Ἰησοῦ, Jesus, δέξαι receive τό the πνεῦμα spirit μου. of me. θείς Having fallen δέ then τά on [his] γόνατα knees, ἔκραξεν he cried φωνῇ in a voice μεγάλῃ· loud, Κύριε, Lord, μή not στήσῃς place αὐτοῖς to them ταύτην this τήν - ἁμαρτίαν. sin. καί And τοῦτο this εἰπών having said, ἐκοιμήθη. he fell asleep.

Σαῦλος Saul δέ now ἦν was there συνευδοκῶν consenting τῇ to the ἀναιρέσει killing αὐτοῦ. of him.

Ἐγένετο Arose δέ then ἐν on ἐκείνῃ that τῇ - ἡμέρᾳ day διωγμός a persecution μέγας great ἐπί against τήν the ἐκκλησίαν church τήν which [was] ἐν in Ἱεροσολύμοις, Jerusalem. πάντες All δέ then διεσπάρησαν were scattered κατά throughout τάς the χώρας regions τῆς - Ἰουδαίας of Judea καί and Σαμαρείας Samaria, πλήν except τῶν the ἀποστόλων. apostles. συνεκόμισαν Buried δέ now τόν - Στέφανον Stephen ἄνδρες men εὐλαβεῖς devout, καί and ἐποίησαν made κοπετόν lamentation μέγαν great ἐπ ̓ over αὐτῷ. him. Σαῦλος Saul δέ however ἐλυμαίνετο was destroying τήν the ἐκκλησίαν church; κατά [houses] after τούς - οἴκους houses εἰσπορευόμενος, entering, σύρων dragging off τέ then ἄνδρας men καί and γυναῖκας women, παρεδίδου he was delivering [them] εἰς to φυλακήν. prison.

οἱ Those μέν indeed οὖν therefore διασπαρέντες having been scattered διῆλθον went about, εὐαγγελιζόμενοι preaching τόν the λόγον. word. Φίλιππος Philip δέ now, κατελθών having gone down εἰς to τήν - πόλιν [a] city τῆς - Σαμαρείας of Samaria, ἐκήρυσσεν was proclaiming αὐτοῖς to them τόν the Χριστόν.
