¹

Фи́стъ же у́бо пріи́мь вла́сть, по тріє́хъ дне́хъ взы́де во Ієрусали́мъ от Кесарі́и.

¹

Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

²

Сказа́ша же єму́ архієре́є и пе́рвіи от Іуде́й на Па́вла и моля́ху єго́,

²

And the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him,

³

прося́ще благода́ти на́нь, я́ко да по́слетъ єго́ во Ієрусали́мъ, ко́въ творя́ще, я́ко да убію́тъ єго́ на пути́.

³

asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way.

⁴

Фи́стъ же повелѣ́ Па́вла стрещи́ въ Кесарі́и, са́мъ та́мо хотя́ вско́рѣ изы́ти:

⁴

Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge in Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart thither shortly.

⁵

и́же у́бо си́льніи въ ва́съ, рече́, со мно́ю ше́дше, а́ще є́сть ка́я непра́вда въ му́жи се́мъ, да глаго́лютъ на́нь.

⁵

Let them therefore that are of power among you, saith he, go down with me, and if there is any wickedness in this man, let them accuse him.

⁶

Пребы́въ же у ни́хъ не мно́жає десяти́ дні́й, сни́де въ Кесарі́ю: на у́тріє сѣ́дъ на суди́щи, повелѣ́ Па́вла привести́.

⁶

And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.

⁷

Приведе́ну же бы́вшу єму́, о́крестъ ста́ша и́же от Ієрусали́ма сше́дшіи Іуде́є, мно́ги и тя́жки вины́ принося́ще на Па́вла, и́хже не можа́ху изъяви́ти:

⁷

And when he was come, the Jews that had come down from Jerusalem stood round about, bringing many and grievous charges against Paul, which they could not prove;

⁸

отвѣщава́ющу єму́, я́ко ни на зако́нъ Іуде́йскій, ни на це́рковь, ни на ке́саря что́ согрѣши́хъ.

⁸

while he said in his defense, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.

⁹

Фи́стъ же хотя́ уго́дноє Іуде́ємъ сотвори́ти, отвѣща́въ Па́влови рече́: хо́щеши ли, во Ієрусали́мъ возше́дъ, та́мо о си́хъ су́дъ прія́ти от мене́?

⁹

But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

¹⁰

Рече́ же Па́велъ: на суди́щи ке́саревѣ стоя́ є́смь, идѣ́же ми́ досто́итъ су́дъ прія́ти: Іуде́й ни чи́мже оби́дѣхъ, я́коже и ты́ до́брѣ вѣ́си:

¹⁰

But Paul said, I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.

¹¹

а́ще бо непра́вдую или́ досто́йно сме́рти сотвори́хъ что́, не отме́щуся умре́ти: а́ще ли же ничто́же є́сть во мнѣ́, є́же сі́и на мя́ клеве́щутъ, никто́же мя́ мо́жетъ тѣ́мъ вы́дати: ке́саря нарица́ю.

¹¹

For if I am a wrongdoer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if none of those things is true whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

¹²

Тогда́ Фи́стъ состяза́вся съ совѣ́тники, отвѣща́: ке́саря ли наре́клъ єси́? Къ ке́сарю по́йдеши.

¹²

Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Caesar: unto Caesar shalt thou go.

¹³

Дне́мъ же мину́вшымъ нѣ́кимъ, Агрі́ппа ца́рь и Вернікі́а снидо́ста въ Кесарі́ю цѣлова́ти Фи́ста.

¹³

Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to salute Festus.

¹⁴

И я́коже мно́ги дни́ пребы́ста ту́, Фи́стъ сказа́ царю́ я́же о Па́влѣ, глаго́ля: му́жъ нѣ́кій є́сть оста́вленъ от Фи́лікса у́зникъ,

¹⁴

And as he tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

¹⁵

о не́мже, бы́вшу ми́ во Ієрусали́мѣ, яви́ша архієре́є и ста́рцы Іуде́йстіи, прося́ще на́нь суда́.

¹⁵

about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for judgment against him.

¹⁶

Къ ни́мже отвѣща́хъ, я́ко нѣ́сть обы́чай Ри́мляномъ вы́дати человѣ́ка ко́єго на поги́бель, пре́жде да́же оклевета́ємый не и́мать предъ лице́мъ клеве́щущихъ єго́ и мѣ́сто отвѣ́та пріи́метъ о своє́мъ согрѣше́ніи.

¹⁶

To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.

¹⁷

Сше́дшымся же и́мъ здѣ́, закоснѣ́ніє ни єди́но сотво́рь, на у́тріє сѣ́дъ на суди́щи, повелѣ́хъ привести́ му́жа.

¹⁷

When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought.

¹⁸

О́крестъ же єго́ ста́вше клеветницы́, ни єди́ну вину́, я́же а́зъ непщева́хъ, нанесо́ша:

¹⁸

Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought against him no charge of such things as I supposed;

¹⁹

стяза́нія же нѣ́кая о своє́й разли́чнѣй вѣ́рѣ имя́ху къ нему́ и о нѣ́коємъ Іису́сѣ уме́ршемъ, Єго́же глаго́лаше Па́велъ жи́ва бы́ти.

¹⁹

but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

²⁰

Недоумѣ́яся же а́зъ о взыска́ніи си́хъ, глаго́лахъ, а́ще хо́щетъ ити́ во Ієрусали́мъ и та́мо су́дъ прія́ти о си́хъ.

²⁰

And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning this, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters.

²¹

Па́влу же наре́кшу блюде́ну бы́ти єму́ до разсужде́нія А́вгуста, повелѣ́хъ блюсти́ єго́, до́ндеже послю́ єго́ къ ке́сарю.

²¹

But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar.

²²

Агрі́ппа же къ Фи́сту рече́: хотѣ́лъ бы́хъ и са́мъ человѣ́ка сего́ слы́шати. О́нъ же рече́: у́трѣ услы́шиши єго́.

²²

And Agrippa said unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. And he saith, Tomorrow thou shalt hear him.

²³

На у́тріє же прише́дшу Агрі́ппѣ и Вернікі́и со мно́гою го́рдостію и вше́дшымъ въ суде́бную пала́ту съ ты́сящники и съ наро́читыми му́жи гра́да, и повелѣ́вшу Фи́сту, приведе́нъ бы́сть Па́велъ.

²³

So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains also, and they that were the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.

²⁴

И рече́ Фи́стъ: Агрі́ппо царю́ и вси́ су́щіи съ на́ми му́жіє, ви́дите сего́, о не́мже все́ мно́жество Іуде́й стужа́ху ми́ во Ієрусали́мѣ же и здѣ́, вопію́ще, я́ко не подоба́єтъ жи́ти єму́ ктому́:

²⁴

And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

²⁵

а́зъ же разумѣ́въ ничто́же досто́йно сме́рти сотво́рша єго́, и самому́ же сему́ наре́кшу Сева́ста, суди́хъ посла́ти єго́:

²⁵

But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as even he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.

²⁶

о не́мже извѣ́стноє что́ писа́ти господи́ну не и́мамъ: тѣ́мже и приведо́хъ єго́ предъ ва́съ, наипа́че же предъ тя́, Агрі́ппо царю́, я́ко да разсужде́нію бы́вшу и́мамъ что́ писа́ти:

²⁶

Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write.

²⁷

безслове́сно бо мни́тся ми́, посыла́ющу ю́зника, а вины́, я́же на́нь, не сказа́ти.

²⁷

For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him.
