¹

And Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth his hand, and made his defense:

¹

(Заⷱ҇ м҃ѳ҃.) А҆грі́ппа же къ па́ѵлꙋ речѐ: повелѣва́етсѧ тѝ ѡ҆ себѣ̀ самомꙋ̀ глаго́лати. Тогда̀ па́ѵелъ просте́ръ рꙋ́кꙋ ѿвѣщава́ше:

²

I think myself happy, king Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before thee this day touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews:

²

ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ, ѡ҆ ни́хже ѡ҆клевета́емь є҆́смь ѿ і҆ꙋдє́й, царю̀ а҆грі́ппо, непщꙋ́ю себѐ блаже́нна бы́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ пред̾ тобо́ю ѿвѣща́ти дне́сь и҆́мамъ,

³

especially because thou art expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

³

па́че же вѣ́дца тѧ̀ сꙋ́ща свѣ́дый всѣ́хъ і҆ꙋде́йскихъ ѡ҆бы́чаєвъ и҆ взыска́нїй. Тѣ́мже молю́сѧ тѝ долготерпѣли́внѡ послꙋ́шати менє̀.

⁴

My manner of life then from my youth up, which was from the beginning among mine own nation in Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

⁴

Житїѐ оу҆́бѡ моѐ є҆́же ѿ ю҆́ности, и҆спе́рва бы́вшее во ꙗ҆зы́цѣ мое́мъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, вѣ́дѧтъ всѝ і҆ꙋде́є,

⁵

having knowledge of me from the first, if they be willing to testify, that after the straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

⁵

вѣ́дѧще мѧ̀ и҆спе́рва, а҆́ще хотѧ́тъ свидѣ́телствовати, ꙗ҆́кѡ по и҆звѣ́стнѣй є҆́реси на́шеѧ вѣ́ры жи́хъ фарїсе́й.

⁶

And now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto the fathers;

⁶

И҆ нн҃ѣ ѡ҆ оу҆пова́нїи ѡ҆бѣтова́нїѧ, бы́вшагѡ ѿ бг҃а ко ѻ҆тцє́мъ на́шымъ, стою̀ сꙋди́мь,

⁷

unto which promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused, King Agrippa, by the Jews.

⁷

въ не́же ѻ҆бана́десѧте колѣ̑на на̑ша безпреста́ни де́нь и҆ но́щь слꙋжа́ще надѣ́ютсѧ доитѝ: ѡ҆ не́мже оу҆пова́нїи ѡ҆клевета́емь є҆́смь, царю̀ а҆грі́ппо, ѿ і҆ꙋдє́й.

⁸

Why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?

⁸

Что̀; Невѣ́рно ли сꙋ́дитсѧ ва́ми, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ мє́ртвыѧ возставлѧ́етъ;

⁹

I verily thought with myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

⁹

А҆́зъ оу҆́бѡ мнѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ мѝ мнѡ́га сопроти̑вна проти́вꙋ и҆́мене і҆и҃са назѡре́а сотвори́ти:

¹⁰

And this I also did in Jerusalem: and I shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.

¹⁰

є҆́же и҆ сотвори́хъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ мнѡ́ги ѿ ст҃ы́хъ а҆́зъ въ темни́цахъ затворѧ́хъ, вла́сть ѿ а҆рхїерє́й прїе́мь: оу҆бива́ємымъ же и҆̀мъ прилага́хъ совѣ́тъ:

¹¹

And punishing them oftentimes in all the synagogues, I strove to make them blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.

¹¹

и҆ на всѣ́хъ со́нмищихъ мно́жицею мꙋ́чѧ и҆̀хъ, принꙋжда́хъ хꙋ́лити: преизли́ха же враждꙋ́ѧ на ни́хъ, гонѧ́хъ да́же и҆ до внѣ́шнихъ градѡ́въ.

¹²

Whereupon also, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

¹²

Въ ни́хже и҆ды́й въ дама́скъ со вла́стїю и҆ повелѣ́нїемъ, є҆́же ѿ а҆рхїерє́й,

¹³

at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them that journeyed with me.

¹³

въ полꙋ́дни на пꙋтѝ ви́дѣхъ, царю̀, съ небесѐ па́че сїѧ́нїѧ со́лнечнагѡ ѡ҆сїѧ́вшїй мѧ̀ свѣ́тъ и҆ со мно́ю и҆дꙋ́щихъ.

¹⁴

And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goad.

¹⁴

Всѣ̑мъ же па́дшымъ на́мъ на зе́млю, слы́шахъ гла́съ гл҃ющь ко мнѣ̀ и҆ вѣща́ющь є҆вре́йскимъ ѧ҆зы́комъ: са́ѵле, са́ѵле, что́ мѧ го́ниши; же́стоко тѝ є҆́сть проти́вꙋ рожна̀ пра́ти.

¹⁵

And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

¹⁵

А҆́зъ же рѣ́хъ: кто̀ є҆сѝ, гдⷭ҇и; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь і҆и҃съ, є҆го́же ты̀ го́ниши:

¹⁶

But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things which thou hast seen, and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee;

¹⁶

но воста́ни и҆ ста́ни на ногꙋ̀ твоє́ю: на се́ бо ꙗ҆ви́хсѧ тѝ, сотвори́ти тѧ̀ слꙋгꙋ̀ и҆ свидѣ́телѧ, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ и҆ ꙗ҆̀же ꙗ҆влю̀ тебѣ̀,

¹⁷

delivering thee from the people, and the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee,

¹⁷

и҆з̾има́ѧ тѧ̀ ѿ люді́й і҆ꙋде́йскихъ и҆ ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ, къ ни̑мже а҆́зъ тѧ̀ послю̀,

¹⁸

to open their eyes, that they may turn away from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.

¹⁸

ѿве́рсти ѻ҆́чи и҆́хъ, да ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ ѿ тмы̀ въ свѣ́тъ и҆ ѿ ѡ҆́бласти сатанины̀ къ бг҃ꙋ, є҆́же прїѧ́ти и҆̀мъ ѡ҆ставле́нїе грѣхѡ́въ и҆ достоѧ́нїе во ст҃ы́хъ вѣ́рою, ꙗ҆́же въ мѧ̀.

¹⁹

Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

¹⁹

Тѣ́мже, царю̀ а҆грі́ппо, не бы́хъ проти́венъ небе́сномꙋ видѣ́нїю,

²⁰

but have been declaring to them of Damascus first, and at Jerusalem, and to all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

²⁰

но сꙋ́щымъ въ дама́сцѣ пре́жде и҆ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ во всѧ́цѣй странѣ̀ і҆ꙋде́йстѣй и҆ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ проповѣ́дꙋю пока́ѧтисѧ и҆ ѡ҆брати́тисѧ къ бг҃ꙋ, достѡ́йна покаѧ́нїю дѣла̀ творѧ́ще.

²¹

For this cause the Jews seized me in the temple, and assayed to kill me.

²¹

Си́хъ ра́ди мѧ̀ і҆ꙋде́є є҆́мше во свѧти́лищи хотѧ́хꙋ растерза́ти.

²²

Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand unto this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses did say should come;

²²

По́мощь оу҆̀бо оу҆лꙋчи́въ ꙗ҆́же ѿ бг҃а, да́же до днѐ сегѡ̀ стою̀, свидѣ́телствꙋѧ ма́лꙋ же и҆ вели́кꙋ, ничто́же вѣща́ѧ, ра́звѣ ꙗ҆̀же прⷪ҇ро́цы реко́ша хотѧ̑щаѧ бы́ти и҆ мѡѷсе́й,

²³

how that the Christ must suffer, and how that he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light to the people and to the Gentiles.

²³

ꙗ҆́кѡ хрⷭ҇то́съ и҆мѣ́ѧше пострада́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ пе́рвый ѿ воскрⷭ҇нїѧ ме́ртвыхъ свѣ́тъ хотѧ́ше проповѣ́дати лю́демъ (і҆ꙋдє́йскимъ) и҆ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ.

²⁴

And as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning is turning thee mad.

²⁴

Сїѧ̑ же є҆мꙋ̀ ѿвѣщава́ющꙋ, фи́стъ ве́лїимъ гла́сомъ речѐ: бѣснꙋ́ешисѧ ли, па́ѵле; мнѡ́гїѧ тѧ̀ кни̑ги въ неи́стовство прелага́ютъ.

²⁵

But he saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness.

²⁵

Ѻ҆́нъ же: не бѣснꙋ́юсѧ, речѐ, держа́вный фи́сте, но и҆́стины и҆ цѣломⷣрїѧ глаго́лы вѣща́ю:

²⁶

For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner.

²⁶

вѣ́сть бо ѡ҆ си́хъ ца́рь, къ немꙋ́же и҆ съ дерзнове́нїемъ глаго́лю: оу҆таи́тисѧ бо є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ си́хъ не вѣ́рꙋю ничесомꙋ́же, нѣ́сть бо во оу҆́глѣ сотворе́но сїѐ:

²⁷

King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

²⁷

вѣ́рꙋеши ли, царю̀ а҆грі́ппо, прⷪ҇ро́кѡмъ; вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́рꙋеши.

²⁸

And Agrippa said unto Paul, In a little time thou persuadest me to become a Christian!

²⁸

А҆грі́ппа же къ па́ѵлꙋ речѐ: вма́лѣ мѧ̀ препира́еши хрⷭ҇тїа́нина бы́ти.

²⁹

And Paul said, I would to God, that whether in a little time or in much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds.

²⁹

Па́ѵелъ же речѐ: моли́лъ оу҆́бѡ бы́хъ бг҃а, и҆ вма́лѣ и҆ во мно́зѣ, не то́кмѡ тебѐ, но и҆ всѣ́хъ слы́шащихъ мѧ̀ дне́сь, бы́ти и҆̀мъ та̑цѣмъ, ꙗ҆ко́въ и҆ а҆́зъ є҆́смь, кромѣ̀ оу҆́зъ си́хъ.

³⁰

And when he had spoken these things, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

³⁰

И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́кшꙋ є҆мꙋ̀, воста̀ ца́рь и҆ и҆ге́мѡнъ, и҆ вернїкі́а и҆ сѣдѧ́щїи съ ни́ми,

³¹

and when they had withdrawn, they spake one to another, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

³¹

и҆ ѿше́дше бесѣ́довахꙋ дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ, глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ ничто́же сме́рти досто́йно и҆лѝ оу҆́зъ твори́тъ человѣ́къ се́й.

³²

And Agrippa said unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

³²

А҆грі́ппа же фи́стꙋ речѐ: ѿпꙋще́нъ бы́ти можа́ше человѣ́къ се́й, а҆́ще не бы̀ ке́сарѧ нарица́лъ. И҆ та́кѡ сꙋдѝ и҆ге́мѡнъ посла́ти є҆го̀ къ ке́сарю.
