He 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.

καὶ ἐμοσχοποίησαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἀνήγαγον θυσίαν τῷ εἰδώλῳ, καὶ εὐφραίνοντο ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.
Et vitulum fecerunt in diebus illis, et obtulerunt hostiam simulacro, et laetabantur in operibus manuum suarum.
ወገብሩ ላሕመ ውእተ አሚረ ወአዕረጉ መሥዋዕተ ለጣዖት ወተፈሥሑ በግብረ እደዊሆሙ።
They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
7:42
ἔστρεψεν δὲ ὁ θεὸς καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς λατρεύειν τῇ στρατιᾷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν βίβλῳ τῶν προφητῶν, μὴ σφάγια καὶ θυσίας προσηνέγκατέ μοι ἔτη τεσσεράκοντα ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, οἶκος Ἰσραήλ;
Convertit autem Deus, et tradidit eos servire militiae caeli, sicut scriptum est in libro prophetarum : Numquid victimas et hostias obtulistis mihi annis quadraginta in deserto, domus Israël ?
ወተመይጠ እግዚአብሔር ወኀደጎሙ ያምልኩ ኮከበ ሰማይ በከመ ይብል መጽሐፈ ነቢያት፤ «ቦኑ መሥዋዕተ ወቍርባነ ዘአባእክሙ ሊተ አርብዓ ዓመተ በገዳም ኦ ቤተ እስራኤል።
But God turned away and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, 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?
7:43
καὶ ἀνελάβετε τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ Μολὸχ καὶ τὸ ἄστρον τοῦ θεοῦ Ῥομφάν, τοὺς τύπους οὓς ἐποιήσατε προσκυνεῖν αὐτοῖς; καὶ μετοικιῶ ὑμᾶς ἐπέκεινα Βαβυλῶνος.
Et suscepistis tabernaculum Moloch, et sidus dei vestri Rempham, figuras quas fecistis adorare eas : et transferam vos trans Babylonem.
አላ ነሣእክሙ ደብተራ ሞሎሕ ወኮከበ አምለክሙ ዘስሙ ሬፋን ወገበርክሙ አምሳሊሁ ከመ ትስግዱ ሎቱ ወአፈልሰክሙ ውስተ ባቢሎን።»
You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship, so I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’
7:44
Ἡ σκηνὴ τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἦν τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καθὼς διετάξατο ὁ λαλῶν τῷ Μωϋσῇ ποιῆσαι αὐτὴν κατὰ τὸν τύπον ὃν ἑωράκει,
Tabernaculum testimonii fuit cum patribus nostris in deserto, sicut disposuit illis Deus loquens ad Moysen, ut faceret illud secundum formam quam viderat.
ወደብተራ ስምዕ እንተ ነበረት ኀበ አበዊነ በገዳም በከመ አዘዞ ለሙሴ ዘተናገሮ ይግበራ በአርኣያ ዘአርአዮ።
“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;
7:45
ἣν καὶ εἰσήγαγον διαδεξάμενοι οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν μετὰ Ἰησοῦ ἐν τῇ κατασχέσει τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξῶσεν ὁ θεὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἕως τῶν ἡμερῶν Δαυείδ,
Quod et induxerunt, suscipientes patres nostri cum Jesu in possessionem gentium quas expulit Deus a facie patrum nostrorum, usque in diebus David,
ወአብእዋ ምስሌሆሙ ሶበ ተመጠውዋ አበዊነ ወኢያሱ ውስተ በሐውርተ አሕዛብ እለ አውፅኦሙ እግዚአብሔር እምቅድመ ገጾሙ ለአበዊነ እስከ አመ መዋዕለ ዳዊት።
which 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,
7:46
ὃς εὗρεν χάριν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ᾐτήσατο εὑρεῖν σκήνωμα τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰακώβ.
qui invenit gratiam ante Deum, et petiit ut inveniret tabernaculum Deo Jacob.
ዘረከበ ሞገሰ በቅድመ እግዚአብሔር ወሰአለ ይርከብ ማኅደሮ ለአምላከ ያዕቆብ።
who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
7:47
Σαλωμῶν δὲ οἰκοδόμησεν αὐτῷ οἶκον.
Salomon autem aedificavit illi domum.
ወዳዕሙ ሰሎሞን ሐነጸ ሎቱ ቤተ።
But Solomon built him a house.
7:48
ἀλλ’ οὐχ ὁ ὕψιστος ἐν χειροποιήτοις κατοικεῖ· καθὼς ὁ προφήτης λέγει,
Sed non Excelsus in manufactis habitat, sicut propheta dicit :
ወአኮሰ ዘየኀድር ልዑል ውስተ ግብረ እደ ሰብእ እስመ ከመዝ ይቤ ነቢይ።
However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
7:49
ὁ οὐρανός μοι θρόνος, ἡ δὲ γῆ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν μου· ποῖον οἶκον οἰκοδομήσετέ μοι, λέγει κύριος, ἢ τίς τόπος τῆς καταπαύσεώς μου;
Caelum mihi sedes est : terra autem scabellum pedum meorum. Quam domum aedificabitis mihi ? dicit Dominus : aut quis locus requietionis meae est ?
«ሰማይኒ መንበርየ ወምድርኒ መከየደ እገርየ አየኑ ቤተ ተሐንጹ ሊተ ይቤ እግዚአብሔር ወአይኑ መካን ውእቱ መካነ ምዕራፍየ።
‘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?
7:50
οὐχὶ ἡ χείρ μου ἐποίησεν ταῦτα πάντα;
Nonne manus mea fecit haec omnia ?
አኮኑ እደውየ ገብራ ዘ ኵሎ።»
Didn’t my hand make all these things?’
7:51
Σκληροτράχηλοι καὶ ἀπερίτμητοι καρδίαις καὶ τοῖς ὠσίν, ὑμεῖς ἀεὶ τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἁγίῳ ἀντιπίπτετε, ὡς οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ ὑμεῖς.
Dura cervice, et incircumcisis cordibus et auribus, vos semper Spiritui Sancto resistitis : sicut patres vestri, ita et vos.
ኦ ጽኑዓነ ክሣድ ወጽሉላነ ልብ ወጽሙማነ እዝን እለ ዘልፈ ታምዕዕዎ ለመንፈስ ቅዱስ ከመ አበዊክሙ አንትሙሂ።
“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.
7:52
τίνα τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἐδίωξαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν; καὶ ἀπέκτειναν τοὺς προκαταγγείλαντας περὶ τῆς ἐλεύσεως τοῦ δικαίου οὗ νῦν ὑμεῖς προδόται καὶ φονεῖς ἐγένεσθε,
Quem prophetarum non sunt persecuti patres vestri ? et occiderunt eos qui praenuntiabant de adventu Justi, cujus vos nunc proditores et homicidae fuistis :
መኑ እምነቢያት ዘኢሰደድዎ ወኢቀተልዎ አበዊክሙ ወቀተልዎሙ ለእለ አቅደሙ ወዜነውዎሙ በእንተ ምጽአቱ ለጻድቅ ዘአንትሙ ዐለውክምዎ ወቀተልክምዎ።
Which 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.
7:53
οἵτινες ἐλάβετε τὸν νόμον εἰς διαταγὰς ἀγγέλων, καὶ οὐκ ἐφυλάξατε.
qui accepistis legem in dispositione angelorum, et non custodistis.
ወነሢአክሙ ኦሪተ በሥርዐተ መላእክት ኢዐቀብክሙ።
You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”
7:54
Ἀκούοντες δὲ ταῦτα διεπρίοντο ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν καὶ ἔβρυχον τοὺς ὀδόντας ἐπ’ αὐτόν.
Audientes autem haec, dissecabantur cordibus suis, et stridebant dentibus in eum.
ወዘንተ ሰሚዖሙ ተምዕዑ ወአብደ ልቦሙ ወሐቀዩ ስነኒሆሙ ላዕሌሁ።
Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
7:55
ὑπάρχων δὲ πλήρης πνεύματος ἁγίου ἀτενίσας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εἶδεν δόξαν θεοῦ καὶ Ἰησοῦν ἑστῶτα ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ θεοῦ,
Cum autem esset plenus Spiritu Sancto, intendens in caelum, vidit gloriam Dei, et Jesum stantem a dextris Dei. Et ait : Ecce video caelos apertos, et Filium hominis stantem a dextris Dei.
ወመልአ መንፈስ ቅዱስ ላዕለ እስጢፋኖስ ወነጸረ ሰማየ ርኅወ ወርእየ ስብሐተ እግዚአብሔር ወኢየሱስ ይነብር በየማነ እግዚአብሔር።
But 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,
7:56
καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ θεωρῶ τοὺς οὐρανοὺς διηνοιγμένους καὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκ δεξιῶν ἑστῶτα τοῦ θεοῦ.
Exclamantes autem voce magna continuerunt aures suas, et impetum fecerunt unanimiter in eum.
ወይቤ ናሁ እሬኢ ተርኅወ ሰማይ ወወልደ ዕጓለ እመሕያው ይነብር በየማነ እግዚአብሔር።
and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
7:57
κράξαντες δὲ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ συνέσχον τὰ ὦτα αὐτῶν, καὶ ὥρμησαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐπ’ αὐτόν,
Et ejicientes eum extra civitatem, lapidabant : et testes deposuerunt vestimenta sua secus pedes adolescentis qui vocabatur Saulus.
ወከልሑ በዐቢይ ቃል ወከደኑ እዘኒሆሙ ወሮድዎ ኅቡረ ወሰሐብዎ።
But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.
7:58
καὶ ἐκβαλόντες ἔξω τῆς πόλεως ἐλιθοβόλουν. καὶ οἱ μάρτυρες ἀπέθεντο τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας νεανίου καλουμένου Σαύλου.
Et lapidabant Stephanum invocantem, et dicentem : Domine Jesu, suscipe spiritum meum.
ወአውፅዎ አፍኣ እምሀገር ወወገርዎ ወእለሰ ቀተልዎ አዕቀቡ አልባሲሆሙ ወአንበሩ ኀበ እገሪሁ ለወሬዛ ወልድ ዘስሙ ሳውል።
They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
7:59
καὶ ἐλιθοβόλουν τὸν Στέφανον ἐπικαλούμενον καὶ λέγοντα, κύριε Ἰησοῦ, δέξαι τὸ πνεῦμά μου.
Positis autem genibus, clamavit voce magna, dicens : Domine, ne statuas illis hoc peccatum. Et cum hoc dixisset, obdormivit in Domino. Saulus autem erat consentiens neci ejus.
ወወገርዎ ለእስጢፋኖስ እንዘ ይጼሊ ወይብል ኦ እግዚእየ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ተመጠዋ ለነፍስየ።
They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
7:60
θεὶς δὲ τὰ γόνατα ἔκραξεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· κύριε, μὴ στήσῃς αὐτοῖς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ταύτην. καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐκοιμήθη.
—

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