1 E disse o sumo sacerdote: Porventura são assim estas coisas?
1
Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”
2 Estêvão respondeu: Irmãos e pais, ouvi. O Deus da glória apareceu a nosso pai Abraão, estando ele na Mesopotâmia, antes de habitar em Harã,
2
To this he replied: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Harran.
3 e disse-lhe: Sai da tua terra e dentre a tua parentela, e dirige-te � terra que eu te mostrar.
3
‘Leave your country and your people,’ God said, ‘and go to the land I will show you.’
4 Então saiu da terra dos caldeus e habitou em Harã. Dali, depois que seu pai faleceu, Deus o trouxe para esta terra em que vós agora habitais.
4
“So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Harran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living.
5 E não lhe deu nela herança, nem sequer o espaço de um pé; mas prometeu que lha daria em possessão, e depois dele � sua descendência, não tendo ele ainda filho.
5
He gave him no inheritance here, not even enough ground to set his foot on. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child.
6 Pois Deus disse que a sua descendência seria peregrina em terra estranha e que a escravizariam e maltratariam por quatrocentos anos.
6
God spoke to him in this way: ‘For four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated.
7 Mas eu julgarei a nação que os tiver escravizado, disse Deus; e depois disto sairão, e me servirão neste lugar.
7
But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.’
8 E deu-lhe o pacto da circuncisão; assim então gerou Abraão a Isaque, e o circuncidou ao oitavo dia; e Isaque gerou a Jacó, e Jacó aos doze patriarcas.
8
Then he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. And Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him eight days after his birth. Later Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
9 Os patriarcas, movidos de inveja, venderam José para o Egito; mas Deus era com ele,
9
“Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him
10 e o livrou de todas as suas tribulações, e lhe deu graça e sabedoria perante Faraó, rei do Egito, que o constituiu governador sobre o Egito e toda a sua casa.
10
and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph wisdom and enabled him to gain the goodwill of Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Pharaoh made him ruler over Egypt and all his palace.
11 Sobreveio então uma fome a todo o Egito e Canaã, e grande tribulação; e nossos pais não achavam alimentos.
11
“Then a famine struck all Egypt and Canaan, bringing great suffering, and our ancestors could not find food.
12 Mas tendo ouvido Jacó que no Egito havia trigo, enviou ali nossos pais pela primeira vez.
12
When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our forefathers on their first visit.
13 E na segunda vez deu-se José a conhecer a seus irmãos, e a sua linhagem tornou-se manifesta a Faraó.
13
On their second visit, Joseph told his brothers who he was, and Pharaoh learned about Joseph’s family.
14 Então José mandou chamar a seu pai Jacó, e a toda a sua parentela - setenta e cinco almas.
14
After this, Joseph sent for his father Jacob and his whole family, seventy-five in all.
15 Jacó, pois, desceu ao Egito, onde morreu, ele e nossos pais;
15
Then Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our ancestors died.
16 e foram transportados para Siquém e depositados na sepultura que Abraão comprara por certo preço em prata aos filhos de Emor, em Siquém.
16
Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a certain sum of money.
17 Enquanto se aproximava o tempo da promessa que Deus tinha feito a Abraão, o povo crescia e se multiplicava no Egito;
17
“As the time drew near for God to fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt had greatly increased.
18 até que se levantou ali outro rei, que não tinha conhecido José.
18
Then ‘a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.’
19 Usando esse de astúcia contra a nossa raça, maltratou a nossos pais, ao ponto de fazê-los enjeitar seus filhos, para que não vivessem.
19
He dealt treacherously with our people and oppressed our ancestors by forcing them to throw out their newborn babies so that they would die.
20 Nesse tempo nasceu Moisés, e era mui formoso, e foi criado três meses em casa de seu pai.
20
“At that time Moses was born, and he was no ordinary child. For three months he was cared for by his family.
21 Sendo ele enjeitado, a filha de Faraó o recolheu e o criou como seu próprio filho.
21
When he was placed outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.
