¹

Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:

¹

(Заⷱ҇ л҃ѳ҃.) Прешє́дша же а҆мфїпо́ль и҆ а҆поллѡ́нїю, внидо́ста въ солꙋ́нь, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ со́нмище і҆ꙋде́йское.

²

and Paul, as his custom was, went in unto them, and for three sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures,

²

По ѡ҆бы́чаю же своемꙋ̀ па́ѵелъ вни́де къ ни̑мъ и҆ по сꙋббѡ̑ты трѝ стѧза́шесѧ съ ни́ми ѿ писа́нїй,

³

opening and alleging that it behooved the Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom, said he, I proclaim unto you, is the Christ.

³

сказꙋ́ѧ и҆ предлага́ѧ и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀ подоба́ше пострада́ти и҆ воскрⷭ҇нꙋти ѿ ме́ртвыхъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ се́й і҆и҃съ, є҆го́же а҆́зъ проповѣ́дꙋю ва́мъ, є҆́сть хрⷭ҇то́съ.

⁴

And some of them were persuaded, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

⁴

И҆ нѣ́цыи ѿ ни́хъ вѣ́роваша и҆ приложи́шасѧ къ па́ѵлꙋ и҆ сі́лѣ, ѿ чести́выхъ є҆́ллинъ мно́жество мно́го и҆ ѿ же́нъ благоро́дныхъ не ма́лѡ.

⁵

But the Jews that were disobedient took unto them certain vile fellows of the rabble, and gathering a crowd, set the city on an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them to the people.

⁵

Возревнова́вше же непоко́ршїисѧ і҆ꙋде́є и҆ прїе́мше крамо́лники нѣ̑кїѧ мꙋ́жы ѕлы̑ѧ, и҆ собра́вше наро́дъ, мо́лвѧхꙋ по гра́дꙋ: наше́дше же на до́мъ і҆ассо́новъ, и҆ска́хꙋ и҆̀хъ и҆звестѝ къ наро́дꙋ.

⁶

And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

⁶

Не ѡ҆брѣ́тше же и҆́хъ, влеча́хꙋ і҆ассо́на и҆ нѣ̑кїѧ ѿ бра́тїй ко градонача́лникѡмъ, вопїю́ще, ꙗ҆́кѡ, и҆̀же разврати́ша вселе́ннꙋю, сі́и и҆ здѣ̀ прїидо́ша,

⁷

whom Jason hath received: and these all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.

⁷

и҆̀хже прїѧ́тъ і҆ассо́нъ: и҆ сі́и всѝ проти́внѡ велѣ́нїємъ ке́сарєвымъ творѧ́тъ, цр҃ѧ̀ глаго́люще и҆но́го бы́ти, і҆и҃са.

⁸

And they troubled the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.

⁸

Смѧто́ша же наро́дъ и҆ градонача́лники слы́шащыѧ сїѧ̑:

⁹

And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

⁹

взе́мше же дово́лное ѿ і҆ассо́на и҆ ѿ про́чихъ, ѿпꙋсти́ша и҆̀хъ.

¹⁰

And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who when they were come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹⁰

Бра́тїѧ же а҆́бїе въ нощѝ ѿсла́ша па́ѵла и҆ сі́лꙋ въ бе́рїю: и҆̀же пришє́дша, и҆до́ста въ собо́ръ і҆ꙋде́йскїй.

¹¹

Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily, whether these things were so.

¹¹

Сі́и же бѧ́хꙋ благоро́днѣйши живꙋ́щихъ въ солꙋ́ни, и҆̀же прїѧ́ша сло́во со всѣ́мъ оу҆се́рдїемъ, по всѧ̑ дни̑ разсꙋжда́юще писа̑нїѧ, а҆́ще сꙋ́ть сїѧ̑ та́кѡ.

¹²

Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honorable estate, and of men, not a few.

¹²

Мно́зи оу҆̀бо ѿ ни́хъ вѣ́роваша, и҆ ѿ є҆́ллинскихъ же́нъ благоѡбра́зныхъ и҆ мꙋже́й не ма́лѡ.

¹³

But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed of Paul at Berea also, they came thither likewise, stirring up the multitudes.

¹³

И҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆вѣ́даша и҆̀же ѿ солꙋ́нѧ і҆ꙋде́є, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ въ бе́рїи проповѣ́дасѧ ѿ па́ѵла сло́во бж҃їе, прїидо́ша и҆ та́мѡ дви́жꙋще и҆ смꙋща́юще наро́ды.

¹⁴

And then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul to go as it were to the sea: but both Silas and Timothy abode there still.

¹⁴

А҆́бїе же тогда̀ бра́тїѧ ѿпꙋсти́ша па́ѵла и҆тѝ на помо́рїе: ѡ҆ста́ста же сі́ла и҆ тїмоѳе́й та́мѡ.

¹⁵

But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.

¹⁵

Провожда́ющїи же па́ѵла ведо́ша є҆го̀ да́же до а҆ѳи́нъ, и҆ прїе́мше за́повѣдь къ сі́лѣ и҆ тїмоѳе́ю, да ꙗ҆́кѡ скорѣ́е прїи́дꙋтъ къ немꙋ̀, и҆зыдо́ша.

¹⁶

Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he beheld the city full of idols.

¹⁶

(Заⷱ҇ м҃.) Во а҆ѳи́нѣхъ же ждꙋ́щꙋ и҆́хъ па́ѵлꙋ, раздража́шесѧ дꙋ́хъ є҆гѡ̀ въ не́мъ зрѧ́щемъ і҆́дѡлъ по́лнъ сꙋ́щь гра́дъ.

¹⁷

So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with them that met him.

¹⁷

Стѧза́шесѧ же оу҆̀бо на со́нмищи со і҆ꙋдє́и и҆ съ чести́выми, и҆ на то́ржищи по всѧ̑ дни̑ съ приключа́ющимисѧ.

¹⁸

And certain also of the Epicurean and the Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, What would this babbler say? others, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

¹⁸

Нѣ́цыи же ѿ є҆пїкꙋ́ръ и҆ ѿ стѡ́їкъ фїлосѡ́фъ стѧза́хꙋсѧ съ ни́мъ: и҆ нѣ́цыи глаго́лахꙋ: что̀ оу҆́бѡ хо́щетъ сꙋесло́вивый се́й глаго́лати; И҆ні́и же: чꙋжди́хъ богѡ́въ мни́тсѧ проповѣ́дникъ бы́ти: ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆и҃са и҆ воскрⷭ҇нїе благовѣствова́ше и҆̀мъ.

¹⁹

And they took hold of him, and brought him unto the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by thee?

¹⁹

(Заⷱ҇.) Пое́мше же є҆го̀, ведо́ша на а҆реопа́гъ, глаго́люще: мо́жемъ ли разꙋмѣ́ти, что̀ но́вое сїѐ глаго́лемое тобо́ю оу҆ч҃нїе;

²⁰

For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things might mean.

²⁰

стра̑нна бо нѣ̑каѧ влага́еши во оу҆шеса̀ на̑ша: хо́щемъ оу҆̀бо разꙋмѣ́ти, что̀ хотѧ́тъ сїѧ̑ бы́ти;

²¹

(Now all the Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else, but to tell and to hear something new.)

²¹

А҆ѳине́є же всѝ и҆ приходѧ́щїи стра́ннїи ни во что́же и҆́но оу҆пражнѧ́хꙋсѧ, ра́звѣ глаго́лати что̀ и҆лѝ слы́шати но́вое.

²²

And Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus, and said, Ye men of Athens, in all things I perceive that ye are very religious.

²²

Ста́въ же па́ѵелъ посредѣ̀ а҆реопа́га, речѐ: мꙋ́жїе а҆ѳине́йстїи, по всемꙋ̀ зрю̀ вы̀ а҆́ки благочести̑выѧ:

²³

For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye worship in ignorance, him I set forth unto you.

²³

проходѧ́ бо и҆ соглѧ́даѧ чествова̑нїѧ ва̑ша, ѡ҆брѣто́хъ и҆ ка́пище, на не́мже бѣ̀ напи́сано: невѣ́домомꙋ бг҃ꙋ. Є҆го́же оу҆̀бо не вѣ́дꙋще (благолѣ́пнѣ) чтетѐ, сего̀ а҆́зъ проповѣ́дꙋю ва́мъ.

²⁴

The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

²⁴

Бг҃ъ сотвори́вый мі́ръ и҆ всѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же въ не́мъ, се́й нб҃сѐ и҆ землѝ гдⷭ҇ь сы́й, не въ рꙋкотворе́нныхъ хра́мѣхъ живе́тъ,

²⁵

neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life and breath in all things;

²⁵

ни ѿ рꙋ́къ человѣ́ческихъ оу҆гождє́нїѧ прїе́млетъ, тре́бꙋѧ что̀, са́мъ даѧ̀ всѣ̑мъ живо́тъ и҆ дыха́нїе и҆ всѧ̑:

²⁶

and he made of one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;

²⁶

сотвори́лъ же є҆́сть ѿ є҆ди́ныѧ кро́ве ве́сь ꙗ҆зы́къ человѣ́чь, жи́ти по всемꙋ̀ лицꙋ̀ земно́мꙋ, оу҆ста́вивъ пред̾ꙋчинє́наѧ времена̀ и҆ предѣ́лы селе́нїѧ и҆́хъ,

²⁷

that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:

²⁷

взыска́ти гдⷭ҇а, да понѐ ѡ҆сѧ́жꙋтъ є҆го̀ и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не дале́че ѿ є҆ди́нагѡ коегѡ́ждо на́съ сꙋ́ща:

²⁸

for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

²⁸

ѡ҆ не́мъ бо живе́мъ и҆ дви́жемсѧ и҆ є҆смы̀, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ нѣ́цыи ѿ ва́шихъ кни̑жникъ реко́ша: сегѡ́ бо и҆ ро́дъ є҆смы̀.

²⁹

Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.

²⁹

Ро́дъ оу҆̀бо сꙋ́ще бж҃їй, не до́лжни є҆смы̀ непщева́ти подо́бно бы́ти бжⷭ҇тво̀ зла́тꙋ, и҆лѝ сребрꙋ̀, и҆лѝ ка́меню хꙋдо́жнѣ начерта́нꙋ, и҆ смышле́нїю человѣ́чꙋ:

³⁰

The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth all men everywhere to repent:

³⁰

лѣ̑та оу҆̀бо невѣ́дѣнїѧ презира́ѧ бг҃ъ, нн҃ѣ повелѣва́етъ человѣ́кѡмъ всѣ̑мъ всю́дꙋ пока́ѧтисѧ:

³¹

because he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

³¹

занѐ оу҆ста́вилъ є҆́сть де́нь, въ ѻ҆́ньже хо́щетъ сꙋди́ти вселе́ннѣй въ пра́вдѣ, ѡ҆ мꙋ́жи, є҆го́же пред̾ꙋста́ви, вѣ́рꙋ подаѧ̀ всѣ̑мъ, воскр҃си́въ є҆го̀ ѿ ме́ртвыхъ.

³²

Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, We will hear thee again concerning this.

³²

Слы́шавше же воскрⷭ҇нїе ме́ртвыхъ, ѻ҆́вїи оу҆́бѡ рꙋга́хꙋсѧ, ѻ҆́вїи же рѣ́ша: да слы́шимъ тѧ̀ па́ки ѡ҆ се́мѣ.

³³

And so Paul went out from among them.

³³

И҆ та́кѡ па́ѵелъ и҆зы́де ѿ среды̀ и҆́хъ.

³⁴

But certain men clave unto him, and believed: among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

³⁴

Нѣ́цыи же мꙋ́жїе прилѣпи́вшесѧ є҆мꙋ̀, вѣ́роваша: въ ни́хже бѣ̀ и҆ дїонѵ́сїй а҆реопагі́тскїй, и҆ жена̀ и҆́менемъ да́марь, и҆ дрꙋзі́и съ ни́ми.
