Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

¹

(Заⷱ҇ ѕ҃і҃.) Во дне́хъ же си́хъ, оу҆мно́жившымсѧ оу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ, бы́сть ропта́нїе є҆́ллинѡвъ ко є҆вре́ѡмъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ презира́ємы быва́хꙋ во вседне́внѣмъ слꙋже́нїи вдови̑цы и҆́хъ.

²

And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables.

²

Призва́вше же двана́десѧть мно́жество оу҆чн҃къ, рѣ́ша: не оу҆го́дно є҆́сть на́мъ, ѡ҆ста́вльшымъ сло́во бж҃їе, слꙋжи́ти трапе́замъ:

³

Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint over this business.

³

оу҆смотри́те оу҆̀бо, бра́тїе, мꙋ́жы ѿ ва́съ свидѣ́телствѡваны се́дмь, и҆спо́лнєны дх҃а ст҃а и҆ премꙋ́дрости, и҆̀хже поста́вимъ над̾ слꙋ́жбою се́ю:

⁴

But we will continue steadfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.

⁴

мы́ же въ моли́твѣ и҆ слꙋже́нїи сло́ва пребꙋ́демъ.

⁵

And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch;

⁵

И҆ оу҆го́дно бы́сть сло́во сїѐ пред̾ всѣ́мъ наро́домъ: и҆ и҆збра́ша стефа́на, мꙋ́жа и҆спо́лнена вѣ́ры и҆ дх҃а ст҃а, и҆ фїлі́ппа, и҆ про́хора и҆ нїкано́ра, и҆ ті́мѡна и҆ парме́на, и҆ нїкола́а прише́лца а҆нтїохі́йскаго,

⁶

whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them.

⁶

и҆̀хже поста́виша пред̾ а҆пⷭ҇лы: и҆ помоли́вшесѧ возложи́ша на нѧ̀ рꙋ́цѣ.

⁷

And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

⁷

И҆ сло́во бж҃їе растѧ́ше, и҆ мно́жашесѧ число̀ оу҆чн҃къ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ ѕѣлѡ̀: мно́гъ же наро́дъ свѧще́нникѡвъ послꙋ́шахꙋ вѣ́ры.

⁸

And Stephen, full of faith and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.

⁸

(Заⷱ҇ з҃і҃.) Стефа́нъ же и҆спо́лнь вѣ́ры и҆ си́лы творѧ́ше зна́мєнїѧ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ вє́лїѧ въ лю́дехъ.

⁹

But there arose certain of them that were of the synagogue called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.

⁹

Воста́ша же нѣ́цыи ѿ со́нма глаго́лемагѡ лїверті́нска и҆ кѷрине́йска и҆ а҆леѯа́ндрска, и҆ и҆̀же ѿ кїлїкі́и и҆ а҆сі́и, стѧза́ющесѧ со стефа́номъ:

¹⁰

And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.

¹⁰

и҆ не можа́хꙋ противꙋста́ти премꙋ́дрости и҆ дх҃ꙋ, и҆́мже глаго́лаше.

¹¹

Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.

¹¹

Тогда̀ под̾ꙋсти́ша мꙋ́жы глаго́лющыѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ слы́шахомъ є҆го̀ глаго́люща глаго́лы хꙋ̑лныѧ на мѡѷсе́а и҆ на бг҃а.

¹²

And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council,

¹²

Сподвиго́ша же лю́ди и҆ ста́рцы и҆ кни́жники, и҆ напа́дше восхи́тиша є҆го̀ и҆ приведо́ша на со́нмище,

¹³

and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against the holy place, and the law:

¹³

поста́виша же свидѣ́тєли лѡ́жны глаго́лющыѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́къ се́й не престае́тъ глаго́лы хꙋ̑лныѧ глаго́лѧ на мѣ́сто ст҃о́е сїѐ и҆ зако́нъ:

¹⁴

for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered unto us.

¹⁴

слы́шахомъ бо є҆го̀ глаго́люща, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆и҃съ назѡре́й се́й разори́тъ мѣ́сто сїѐ и҆ и҆змѣни́тъ ѡ҆бы̑чаи, ꙗ҆̀же предадѐ на́мъ мѡѷсе́й.

¹⁵

And all that sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

¹⁵

И҆ воззрѣ́вше на́нь всѝ сѣдѧ́щїи въ со́нмищи, ви́дѣша лицѐ є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ лицѐ а҆́гг҃ла.
