(Заⷱ҇ м҃в҃.) Бы́сть же внегда̀ бы́ти а҆поллѡ́сꙋ въ корі́нѳѣ, па́ѵелъ, проше́дъ вы̑шнїѧ страны̑, прїи́де во є҆фе́съ, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тъ нѣ̑кїѧ оу҆чн҃кѝ,

¹

And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus; and finding certain disciples,

²

речѐ къ ни̑мъ: а҆́ще оу҆́бѡ дх҃ъ ст҃ъ прїѧ́ли є҆стѐ вѣ́ровавше; Ѻ҆ни́ же рѣ́ша къ немꙋ̀: но нижѐ а҆́ще дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й є҆́сть, слы́шахомъ.

²

he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was given.

³

Рече́ же къ ни̑мъ: во что̀ оу҆̀бо крести́стесѧ; Ѻ҆ни́ же реко́ша: во і҆ѡа́нново креще́нїе.

³

And he said unto them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John’s baptism.

⁴

Рече́ же па́ѵелъ: і҆ѡа́ннъ оу҆́бѡ крестѝ креще́нїемъ покаѧ́нїѧ, лю́демъ глаго́лѧ, да во грѧдꙋ́щаго по не́мъ вѣ́рꙋютъ, си́рѣчь во хрⷭ҇та̀ і҆и҃са.

⁴

And Paul said, John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

⁵

Слы́шавше же крести́шасѧ во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са,

⁵

And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

⁶

и҆ возло́жшꙋ па́ѵлꙋ на нѧ̀ рꙋ́цѣ, прїи́де дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й на нѧ̀, глаго́лахꙋ же ѧ҆зы̑ки и҆ проро́чествовахꙋ.

⁶

And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

⁷

Бѧ́ше же всѣ́хъ мꙋже́й ꙗ҆́кѡ двана́десѧть.

⁷

And they were in all about twelve men.

⁸

Вше́дъ же въ со́нмище, дерза́ше, не ѡ҆бинꙋ́ѧсѧ трѝ мцⷭ҇ы бесѣ́дꙋѧ и҆ оу҆вѣрѧ́ѧ, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи.

⁸

And he entered into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, reasoning and persuading as to the things concerning the kingdom of God.

⁹

И҆ є҆гда̀ нѣ́цыи ѡ҆жесточа́хꙋсѧ и҆ прѧ́хꙋсѧ, ѕлосло́вѧще пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень пред̾ наро́домъ, ѿстꙋ́пль ѿ ни́хъ ѿлꙋчѝ оу҆чн҃кѝ, по всѧ̑ дни̑ стѧза́ѧсѧ во оу҆чи́лищи мꙋчи́телѧ [власти́телѧ] нѣ́коегѡ.

⁹

But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

¹⁰

Сїе́ же бы́сть два̀ лѣ̑та, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѣ̑мъ живꙋ́щымъ во а҆сі́и слы́шати сло́во гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са, жидѡ́мъ же и҆ є҆́ллинѡмъ.

¹⁰

And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they that dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

¹¹

Си̑лы же не прѡ́сты творѧ́ше бг҃ъ рꙋка́ма па́ѵловыма,

¹¹

And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

¹²

ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ на недꙋ̑жныѧ наноси́ти ѿ (по́та) тѣ́ла є҆гѡ̀ главотѧ́жы и҆ оу҆брꙋ́сцы, и҆ и҆сцѣли́тисѧ и҆̀мъ ѿ недꙋ̑гъ, и҆ дꙋхѡ́мъ лꙋка̑вымъ и҆сходи́ти ѿ ни́хъ.

¹²

insomuch that unto the sick were brought handkerchiefs or aprons from his body, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out from them.

¹³

Нача́ша же нѣ́цыи ѿ скита́ющихсѧ і҆ꙋдє́й заклина́телей и҆менова́ти над̾ и҆мꙋ́щими дꙋ́хи лꙋка̑выѧ и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са, глаго́люще: заклина́емъ вы̀ і҆и҃сомъ, є҆го́же па́ѵелъ проповѣ́дꙋетъ.

¹³

But certain of the strolling Jews, exorcists, took upon them to name over them that had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

¹⁴

Бѧ́хꙋ же нѣ́цыи сы́нове ске́ѵы і҆ꙋде́анина а҆рхїере́а се́дмь, и҆̀же сїѐ творѧ́хꙋ.

¹⁴

And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, who did this.

¹⁵

Ѿвѣща́въ же дꙋ́хъ лꙋка́вый речѐ: і҆и҃са зна́ю и҆ па́ѵла свѣ́мъ, вы́ же кто̀ є҆стѐ;

¹⁵

And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

¹⁶

И҆ скачѧ̀ на ни́хъ человѣ́къ, въ не́мже бѣ̀ дꙋ́хъ лꙋка́вый, и҆ ѡ҆долѣ́въ и҆̀мъ, оу҆крѣпи́сѧ на ни́хъ, ꙗ҆́коже наги̑мъ и҆ оу҆ра́нєнымъ и҆збѣжа́ти ѿ хра́ма ѻ҆́нагѡ.

¹⁶

And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them and mastering them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

¹⁷

Сїе́ же бы́сть разꙋ́мно всѣ̑мъ живꙋ́щымъ во є҆фе́сѣ і҆ꙋде́ємъ же и҆ є҆́ллинѡмъ, и҆ нападѐ стра́хъ на всѣ́хъ и҆̀хъ, и҆ велича́шесѧ и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са:

¹⁷

And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

¹⁸

мно́зи же ѿ вѣ́ровавшихъ прихожда́хꙋ, и҆сповѣ́дающе и҆ сказꙋ́юще дѣла̀ своѧ̑:

¹⁸

Many also of them that had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.

¹⁹

дово́лни же ѿ сотво́ршихъ чародѣѧ̑нїѧ, собра́вше кни̑ги своѧ̑, сожига́хꙋ пред̾ всѣ́ми: и҆ сложи́ша цѣ́ны и҆́хъ и҆ ѡ҆брѣто́ша сребра̀ пѧ́ть те́мъ.

¹⁹

And not a few of them that practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

²⁰

Си́це крѣ́пкѡ сло́во гдⷭ҇не растѧ́ше и҆ крѣплѧ́шесѧ.

²⁰

So mightily grew the word of the Lord and prevailed.

²¹

И҆ ꙗ҆́коже сконча́шасѧ сїѧ̑, положѝ па́ѵелъ въ дꙋ́сѣ, проше́дъ македо́нїю и҆ а҆ха́їю, и҆тѝ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, ре́къ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́вшꙋ мѝ та́мѡ, подоба́етъ мѝ и҆ ри́мъ ви́дѣти.

²¹

Now after these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.

²²

Посла́въ же въ македо́нїю два̀ ѿ слꙋжа́щихъ є҆мꙋ̀, тїмоѳе́а и҆ є҆ра́ста, са́мъ же пребы́сть вре́мѧ во а҆сі́и.

²²

And having sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

²³

Бы́сть же во вре́мѧ ѻ҆́но молва̀ не ма́ла ѡ҆ пꙋтѝ гдⷭ҇ни:

²³

And about that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way.

²⁴

дими́трїй бо нѣ́кто и҆́менемъ, среброкова́чь, творѧ́й хра́мы срє́брѧны а҆ртемі́дѣ, подаѧ́ше хитрецє́мъ дѣ́ланїе [стѧжа́нїе] не ма́ло,

²⁴

For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto the craftsmen;

²⁵

и҆̀хже собра́въ и҆ и҆́ны сицевы́хъ веще́й дѣ́латєли, речѐ: мꙋ́жїе, вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ сегѡ̀ дѣ́ланїѧ дово́лство житїю̀ на́шемꙋ є҆́сть:

²⁵

whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this business we have our wealth.

²⁶

и҆ ви́дите и҆ слы́шите, ꙗ҆́кѡ не то́кмѡ є҆фе́съ, но ма́лѡ не всю̀ а҆сі́ю па́ѵелъ се́й препрѣ́въ, ѡ҆братѝ мно́гъ наро́дъ, глаго́лѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не сꙋ́ть бо́зи, и҆̀же рꙋка́ми человѣ́ческими быва́ютъ:

²⁶

And ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands:

²⁷

не то́кмѡ же сїѧ̀ бѣдꙋ̀ прїе́млетъ на́ша ча́сть, є҆́же бы во ѡ҆бличе́нїе не прїитѝ, но дабы̀ и҆ вели́кїѧ боги́ни а҆ртемі́ды хра́мъ ни во что́же не вмѣни́лсѧ, и҆́мать же разори́тисѧ и҆ вели́чество є҆ѧ̀, ю҆́же всѧ̀ а҆сі́а и҆ вселе́ннаѧ почита́етъ.

²⁷

and not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that her magnificence should also be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshipeth.

²⁸

Слы́шавше же и҆ бы́вше и҆спо́лнени ꙗ҆́рости, вопїѧ́хꙋ глаго́люще: вели́ка а҆ртемі́да є҆фе́сскаѧ.

²⁸

And when they heard this they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

²⁹

И҆ и҆спо́лнисѧ гра́дъ ве́сь мѧте́жа: оу҆стреми́шасѧ же є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ на позо́рище, восхи́щше га́їа и҆ а҆рїста́рха македо́нѧны, дрꙋ́ги [сопꙋ́тники] па́ѵлѡвы.

²⁹

And the whole city was filled with the confusion: and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.

³⁰

Па́ѵлꙋ же хотѧ́щꙋ вни́ти въ наро́дъ, не ѡ҆ставлѧ́хꙋ є҆гѡ̀ оу҆чн҃цы̀:

³⁰

And when Paul was minded to enter in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.

³¹

нѣ́цыи же ѿ а҆сі́йскихъ нача̑лникъ, сꙋ́ще є҆мꙋ̀ дрꙋ́зи, посла́вше къ немꙋ̀, молѧ́хꙋ не вда́ти себѐ въ позо́ръ.

³¹

And certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent unto him and besought him not to adventure himself into the theater.

³²

Дрꙋзі́и же оу҆̀бо и҆́но нѣ́что вопїѧ́хꙋ: бѣ́ бо собра́нїе смꙋще́но, и҆ мно́жайшїи ѿ ни́хъ не вѣ́дѧхꙋ, чесѡ̀ ра́ди собра́шасѧ.

³²

Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was in confusion; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.

³³

Ѿ наро́да же и҆збра́ша а҆леѯа́ндра, и҆зве́дшымъ є҆го̀ і҆ꙋде́ємъ. А҆леѯа́ндръ же, помаа́въ рꙋко́ю, хотѧ́ше ѿвѣща́ти наро́дꙋ.

³³

And they brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews having put him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made a defense unto the people.

³⁴

Разꙋмѣ́вше же, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆ꙋде́анинъ є҆́сть, гла́съ бы́сть є҆ди́нъ ѿ всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ на два̀ часа̑ вопїю́щихъ: вели́ка а҆ртемі́да є҆фе́сскаѧ.

³⁴

But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

³⁵

Оу҆ти́шивъ же кни́жникъ наро́дъ, речѐ: мꙋ́жїе є҆фе́сстїи, кто́ бо є҆́сть человѣ́къ, и҆́же не вѣ́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆фе́сскїй гра́дъ слꙋжи́тель є҆́сть вели́кїѧ боги́ни а҆ртемі́ды и҆ дїопе́та;

³⁵

And when the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he saith, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there who knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?

³⁶

без̾ всѧ́кагѡ оу҆̀бо прекосло́вїѧ си̑мъ си́це сꙋ́щымъ, потре́бно є҆́сть ва́мъ безмѡ́лвнымъ бы́ти и҆ ничто́же безчи́нно твори́ти:

³⁶

Seeing then that these things cannot be gainsaid, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.

³⁷

приведо́сте бо мꙋже́й си́хъ, ни хра́мъ (а҆ртемі́динъ) ѡ҆кра́дшихъ, нижѐ боги́ню ва́шꙋ хꙋ́лѧщихъ:

³⁷

For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your god.

³⁸

а҆́ще оу҆́бѡ дими́трїй и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ хꙋдѡ́жницы и҆́мꙋтъ къ комꙋ̀ сло́во, сꙋды̀ сꙋ́ть и҆ а҆нѳѷпа́ти сꙋ́ть: да пое́млютъ дрꙋ́гъ на дрꙋ́га:

³⁸

If therefore Demetrius, and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.

³⁹

а҆́ще ли же что̀ ѡ҆ и҆ны́хъ и҆́щете, въ зако́ннѣмъ собра́нїи разрѣши́тсѧ:

³⁹

But if ye seek anything about other matters, it shall be settled in the regular assembly.

⁴⁰

и҆́бо бѣ́дствꙋемъ порица́еми бы́ти ѡ҆ крамолѣ̀ дне́шней, ни є҆ди́нѣй винѣ̀ сꙋ́щей, ѡ҆ не́йже возмо́жемъ возда́ти сло́во стремле́нїѧ сегѡ̀. И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́къ распꙋстѝ собра́вшїйсѧ наро́дъ.

⁴⁰

For indeed we are in danger to be accused concerning this day’s riot, there being no cause for it: and as touching it we shall not be able to give account of this concourse.
