¹

Brethren and fathers, hear ye the defense which I now make unto you.

¹

Мyжіе брaтіе и3 nтцы2, ўслhшите м0й къ вaмъ нн7э tвётъ.

²

And when they heard that he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet: and he saith,

²

Слhшавше же, ћкw є3врeйскимъ љзhкомъ возгласи2 къ ни6мъ, пaче приложи1ша безм0лвіе. И# речE:

³

I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as ye all are this day:

³

ѓзъ ќбw є4смь мyжъ їудeанинъ, роди1всz въ тaрсэ кілікjйстэмъ, воспитaнъ же во грaдэ сeмъ при ногY гамаліи1лwву, накaзанъ и3звёстнw nтeческому зак0ну, ревни1тель сhй б9ій, ћкоже вси2 вы2 є3стE днeсь:

⁴

and I persecuted this Way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.

⁴

и4же сeй пyть гони1хъ дaже до смeрти, вzжS и3 предаS въ темни1цу мyжы же и3 жєны2,

⁵

As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and journeyed to Damascus to bring them also that were there unto Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.

⁵

ћкоже и3 ґрхіерeй свидётелствуетъ ми2 и3 вси2 стaрцы: t ни1хже и3 посл†ніz пріeмь къ живyщымъ въ дамaсцэ брaтіzмъ, и3дsхъ привести2 сyщыz тaмw св‰заны во їеrли1мъ, да мyчатсz.

⁶

And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and drew nigh unto Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.

⁶

Бhсть же ми2 и3дyщу и3 приближaющусz къ дамaску въ полyдне, внезaпу съ небесE њблистA свётъ мн0гъ w4крестъ менє2.

⁷

And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁷

Пад0хъ же на зeмлю и3 слhшахъ глaсъ гlющь ми2: сavле, сavле, чт0 мz г0ниши;

⁸

And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

⁸

Ѓзъ же tвэщaхъ: кто2 є3си2, гDи; речe же ко мнЁ: ѓзъ є4смь ї}съ назwрeй, є3г0же ты2 г0ниши.

⁹

And they that were with me beheld indeed the light, and were affrighted; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

⁹

Со мн0ю же сyщіи свётъ ќбw ви1дэша и3 пристрaшни бhша, глaса же не слhшаша гlющагw ко мнЁ.

¹⁰

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.

¹⁰

Рек0хъ же: что2 сотворю2, гDи; ГDь же речE ко мнЁ: востaвъ и3ди2 въ дамaскъ, и3 тaмw речeтсz ти2 њ всёхъ, ±же вчинeно ти2 є4сть твори1ти.

¹¹

And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me I came into Damascus.

¹¹

И# ћкоже не ви1дэхъ t слaвы свёта џнагw, за рyку вед0мь t сyщихъ со мн0ю, внид0хъ въ дамaскъ.

¹²

And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt in Damascus,

¹²

Ґнaніа же нёкій, мyжъ благоговёинъ по зак0ну, свидётелствованъ t всёхъ живyщихъ въ дамaсцэ їудє1й,

¹³

came unto me, and standing by me said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And in that very hour I looked up on him.

¹³

пришeдъ ко мнЁ и3 стaвъ речe ми: сavле брaте, прозри2. И# ѓзъ въ т0й чaсъ воззрёхъ нaнь.

¹⁴

And he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.

¹⁴

Џнъ же речe ми: бGъ nтє1цъ нaшихъ и3зв0ли [пред8избрA] тS разумёти хотёніе є3гw2, и3 ви1дэти првdника, и3 слhшати глaсъ t ќстъ є3гw2:

¹⁵

For thou shalt be a witness for him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.

¹⁵

ћкw бyдеши є3мY свидётель ў всёхъ человёкwвъ њ си1хъ, ±же ви1дэлъ є3си2 и3 слhшалъ:

¹⁶

And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

¹⁶

и3 нн7э что2 мeдлиши; востaвъ крести1сz и3 њмhй грэхи2 тво‰, призвaвъ и4мz гDа ї}са.

¹⁷

And it came to pass, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance,

¹⁷

Бhсть же возврати1вшумисz во їеrли1мъ и3 молsщумисz въ цeркви, бhти во и3зступлeніи

¹⁸

and saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive of thee the testimony concerning me.

¹⁸

и3 ви1дэти є3го2 глаг0люща ми2: потщи1сz и3 и3зhди ск0рw и3з8 їеrли1ма, занE не пріи1мутъ свидётелства твоегw2, є4же њ мнЁ.

¹⁹

And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:

¹⁹

И# ѓзъ рёхъ: гDи, сaми вёдzтъ, ћкw ѓзъ бёхъ всаждaz въ темни1цу и3 біS по с0нмищихъ вёрующыz въ тS,

²⁰

and when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, keeping the garments of them that slew him.

²⁰

и3 є3гдA и3зливaшесz кр0вь стефaна свидётелz твоегw2, и3 сaмъ бёхъ стоS и3 соизволsz ўбіeнію є3гw2 и3 стрегjй ри1зъ ўбивaющихъ є3го2.

²¹

And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee forth far hence unto the Gentiles.

²¹

И# речE ко мнЁ: и3ди2, ћкw ѓзъ во kзhки далeче послю1 тz.

²²

And they gave him audience unto this word; and they lifted up their voice, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

²²

Послyшаху же є3гw2 дaже до сегw2 словесE и3 воздвиг0ша глaсъ св0й, глаг0люще: возми2 t земли2 таковaго, не подобaетъ бо є3мY жи1ти.

²³

And as they cried out, and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,

²³

Вопію1щымъ же и5мъ и3 мeщущымъ ри6зы и3 прaхъ возметaющымъ на воздyхъ,

²⁴

the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, bidding that he should be examined by scourging, that he might know for what cause they so shouted against him.

²⁴

повелЁ тhсzщникъ tвести2 є3го2 въ п0лкъ, рeкъ рaнами и3стzзaти є3го2, да разумёетъ, за кyю винY тaкw вопіsху нaнь.

²⁵

And as he tied him up with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

²⁵

И# ћкоже протzг0ша є3го2 вервьми2, речE къ стоsщему с0тнику пavелъ: человёка ри1млzнина и3 неwсуждeна лёть ли є4сть вaмъ би1ти;

²⁶

And when the centurion heard it, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou art about to do: for this man is a Roman.

²⁶

Слhшавъ же с0тникъ, приступи2 къ тhсzщнику, сказA, глаг0лz: ви1ждь, что2 х0щеши сотвори1ти; человёкъ бо сeй ри1млzнинъ є4сть.

²⁷

And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea.

²⁷

Пристyпль же тhсzщникъ речE є3мY: глаг0ли ми2, ри1млzнинъ ли є3си2 ты2; Џнъ же речE: є4й.

²⁸

And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am a Roman born.

²⁸

Tвэщa же тhсzщникъ: ѓзъ мн0гою цэн0ю нарэчeніе жи1телства сегw2 стzжaхъ. Пavелъ же речE: ѓзъ же и3 роди1хсz въ нeмъ.

²⁹

They then that were about to examine him straightaway departed from him: and the chief captain also was afraid when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

²⁹

Ѓбіе u5бо tступи1ша t негw2 хотsщіи є3го2 и3стzзaти, и3 тhсzщникъ же ўбоsсz, разумёвъ, ћкw ри1млzнинъ є4сть, и3 ћкw бЁ є3го2 свzзaлъ.

³⁰

But on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to come, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

³⁰

На ќтріе же, хотS разумёти и4стину, чесw2 рaди њклеветaетсz t їудє1й, разрэши2 є3го2 t ќзъ и3 повелЁ пріити2 ґрхіерeємъ и3 всемY соб0ру и4хъ: и3 свeдъ пavла, постaви (є3го2) пред8 ни1ми.
