¹

And the high priest said, Are then these things so?

¹

Рече́ же а҆рхїере́й: а҆́ще оу҆́бѡ сїѧ̑ та́кѡ сꙋ́ть;

²

And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken: The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,

²

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: мꙋ́жїе бра́тїе и҆ ѻ҆тцы̀, послꙋ́шайте. Бг҃ъ сла́вы ꙗ҆ви́сѧ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ на́шемꙋ а҆враа́мꙋ сꙋ́щꙋ въ месопота́мїи, пре́жде да́же не всели́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀ въ харра́нь,

³

and said unto him, Get thee out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into a land that I shall show thee.

³

и҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀: и҆зы́ди ѿ землѝ твоеѧ̀ и҆ ѿ ро́да твоегѡ̀ и҆ ѿ до́мꙋ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀, и҆ прїидѝ въ зе́млю, ю҆́же а҆́ще тѝ покажꙋ̀.

⁴

Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead, God removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell:

⁴

Тогда̀ и҆зше́дъ ѿ землѝ халде́йскїѧ, всели́сѧ въ харра́нь: и҆ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ, по оу҆ме́ртвїи ѻ҆тца̀ є҆гѡ̀, преселѝ є҆го̀ въ зе́млю сїю̀, на не́йже вы̀ нн҃ѣ живетѐ,

⁵

and he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: and he promised that he would give it to him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.

⁵

и҆ не дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ наслѣ́дїѧ въ не́й, нижѐ стопы̀ нѡ́гꙋ: и҆ ѡ҆бѣща̀ да́ти є҆мꙋ̀ ю҆̀ во ѡ҆держа́нїе и҆ сѣ́мени є҆гѡ̀ по не́мъ, не сꙋ́щꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ ча́дꙋ.

⁶

And God spake on this wise, that his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and treat them ill, four hundred years.

⁶

Гл҃а же си́це бг҃ъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бꙋ́детъ сѣ́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ прише́лцы въ землѝ чꙋжде́й, и҆ порабо́тѧтъ є҆̀ и҆ ѡ҆ѕло́бѧтъ лѣ́тъ четы́реста.

⁷

And the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

⁷

И҆ ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ, є҆мꙋ́же порабо́таютъ, сꙋждꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, речѐ бг҃ъ: и҆ по си́хъ и҆зы́дꙋтъ и҆ послꙋ́жатъ мѝ на мѣ́стѣ се́мъ.

⁸

And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

⁸

И҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ завѣ́тъ ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ. И҆ та́кѡ родѝ і҆саа́ка и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́за є҆го̀ въ де́нь ѻ҆смы́й: и҆ і҆саа́къ і҆а́кѡва, и҆ і҆а́кѡвъ двана́десѧть патрїа̑рхъ.

⁹

And the patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him,

⁹

И҆ патрїа́рси позави́дѣвше і҆ѡ́сифꙋ прода́ша є҆го̀ во є҆гѵ́петъ: и҆ бѣ̀ бг҃ъ съ ни́мъ,

¹⁰

and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

¹⁰

и҆ и҆з̾ѧ́тъ є҆го̀ ѿ всѣ́хъ скорбе́й є҆гѡ̀, и҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ благода́ть и҆ премꙋ́дрость пред̾ фараѡ́номъ царе́мъ є҆гѵ́петскимъ: и҆ поста́ви є҆го̀ нача́лника над̾ є҆гѵ́птомъ и҆ над̾ всѣ́мъ до́момъ свои́мъ.

¹¹

Now there came a famine over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

¹¹

Прїи́де же гла́дъ на всю̀ зе́млю є҆гѵ́петскꙋю и҆ ханаа́ню и҆ ско́рбь ве́лїѧ, и҆ не ѡ҆брѣта́хꙋ сы́тости ѻ҆тцы̀ на́ши.

¹²

But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.

¹²

Слы́шавъ же і҆а́кѡвъ сꙋ́щꙋю пшени́цꙋ во є҆гѵ́птѣ, посла̀ ѻ҆тцы̀ на́шѧ пе́рвѣе,

¹³

And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s race became manifest unto Pharaoh.

¹³

и҆ внегда̀ второ́е (прїидо́ша), позна́нъ бы́сть і҆ѡ́сифъ бра́тїи свое́й, и҆ ꙗ҆́вѣ бы́сть фараѡ́нꙋ ро́дъ і҆ѡ́сифовъ.

¹⁴

And Joseph sent, and called to him his father Jacob, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

¹⁴

Посла́въ же і҆ѡ́сифъ призва̀ ѻ҆тца̀ своего̀ і҆а́кѡва и҆ всѐ сро́дство своѐ, се́дмьдесѧтъ и҆ пѧ́ть дꙋ́шъ.

¹⁵

And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself and our fathers;

¹⁵

Сни́де же і҆а́кѡвъ во є҆гѵ́петъ, и҆ сконча́сѧ са́мъ и҆ ѻ҆тцы̀ на́ши:

¹⁶

and they were carried over unto Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem.

¹⁶

и҆ принесе́ни бы́ша въ сѷхе́мъ и҆ положе́ни бы́ша во гро́бѣ, є҆го́же кꙋпѝ а҆враа́мъ цѣно́ю сребра̀ ѿ сынѡ́въ є҆ммо́ра сѷхе́мова.

¹⁷

But as the time of the promise drew nigh which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁷

И҆ ꙗ҆́коже приближа́шесѧ вре́мѧ ѡ҆бѣтова́нїѧ, и҆́мже клѧ́тсѧ бг҃ъ а҆враа́мꙋ, возрасто́ша лю́дїе и҆ оу҆мно́жишасѧ во є҆гѵ́птѣ,

¹⁸

till there arose another king, who knew not Joseph.

¹⁸

до́ндеже наста̀ ца́рь и҆́нъ (во є҆гѵ́птѣ), и҆́же не зна́ше і҆ѡ́сифа:

¹⁹

The same dealt craftily with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live.

¹⁹

се́й ѕлѣ̀ оу҆мы́сливъ ѡ҆ ро́дѣ на́шемъ, ѡ҆ѕло́би ѻ҆тцы̀ на́шѧ, оу҆мори́ти младе́нцы и҆́хъ и҆ не ѡ҆живи́ти [дабы̀ и҆зверга́ли младе́нцы своѧ̑ во є҆́же не бы́ти и҆̀мъ живы̑мъ].

²⁰

At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and he was nourished three months in his father’s house:

²⁰

Въ не́же вре́мѧ роди́сѧ мѡѷсе́й и҆ бѣ̀ оу҆го́денъ бг҃ови, и҆́же пита́нъ бы́сть мцⷭ҇ы трѝ въ домꙋ̀ ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀:

²¹

and when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.

²¹

и҆зве́ржена же є҆го̀ взѧ́тъ є҆го̀ дщѝ фараѡ́нова и҆ воспита̀ и҆̀ себѣ̀ въ сы́на:

²²

And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in words and in works.

²²

и҆ нака́занъ бы́сть мѡѷсе́й все́й премꙋ́дрости є҆гѵ́петстѣй, бѣ́ же си́ленъ въ словесѣ́хъ и҆ дѣ́лѣхъ.

²³

But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

²³

Є҆гда́ же и҆сполнѧ́шесѧ є҆мꙋ̀ лѣ́тъ четы́редесѧтихъ вре́мѧ, взы́де на се́рдце є҆мꙋ̀ посѣти́ти бра́тїю свою̀ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы:

²⁴

And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:

²⁴

и҆ ви́дѣвъ нѣ́коего ѡ҆би́дима, посо́бствова и҆ сотворѝ ѿмще́нїе ѡ҆би́димомꙋ, оу҆би́въ є҆гѵ́птѧнина.

²⁵

and he supposed that his brethren understood that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.

²⁵

Мнѧ́ше же разꙋмѣ́ти бра́тїѧмъ свои̑мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ рꙋко́ю є҆гѡ̀ да́стъ и҆̀мъ спасе́нїе: ѻ҆ни́ же не разꙋмѣ́ша.

²⁶

And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and urged them to peace, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?

²⁶

Во оу҆́трїй же де́нь ꙗ҆ви́сѧ и҆̀мъ тѧ́жꙋщымсѧ и҆ привлача́ше и҆̀хъ въ примире́нїе, ре́къ: мꙋ́жїе, бра́тїѧ є҆стѐ вы̀, вскꙋ́ю ѡ҆би́дите дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га;

²⁷

But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁷

Ѡ҆би́дѧй же бли́жнѧго ѿри́нꙋ є҆го̀, ре́къ: кто̀ тѧ̀ поста́ви кнѧ́зѧ и҆ сꙋдїю̀ над̾ на́ми;

²⁸

Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?

²⁸

є҆да̀ оу҆би́ти мѧ̀ ты̀ хо́щеши, и҆́мже ѡ҆́бразомъ оу҆би́лъ є҆сѝ вчера̀ є҆гѵ́птѧнина;

²⁹

And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.

²⁹

Бѣжа́ же мѡѷсе́й ѡ҆ словесѝ се́мъ и҆ бы́сть пришле́цъ въ землѝ мадїа́мстѣй, и҆дѣ́же родѝ сы̑на два̀.

³⁰

And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

³⁰

И҆ и҆спо́лньшымсѧ лѣ́тѡмъ четы́редесѧтимъ, ꙗ҆ви́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀ въ пꙋсты́ни горы̀ сїна́йскїѧ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень въ пла́мени ѻ҆́гненѣ въ кꙋпинѣ̀:

³¹

And when Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord unto him,

³¹

мѡѷсе́й же ви́дѣвъ дивлѧ́шесѧ видѣ́нїю: пристꙋпа́ющꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀ разꙋмѣ́ти, бы́сть гла́съ гдⷭ҇ень къ немꙋ̀:

³²

I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not behold.

³²

а҆́зъ бг҃ъ ѻ҆тє́цъ твои́хъ, бг҃ъ а҆враа́мовъ и҆ бг҃ъ і҆саа́ковъ и҆ бг҃ъ і҆а́кѡвль. Тре́петенъ же бы́въ мѡѷсе́й не смѣ́ѧше смотри́ти.

³³

And the Lord said unto him, Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

³³

Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆зꙋ́й сапогѝ ногꙋ̀ твоє́ю, мѣ́сто бо, на не́мже стои́ши, землѧ̀ ст҃а̀ є҆́сть:

³⁴

I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them: and now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

³⁴

ви́дѧ ви́дѣхъ ѡ҆ѕлобле́нїе люді́й мои́хъ, и҆̀же во є҆гѵ́птѣ, и҆ стена́нїе и҆́хъ оу҆слы́шахъ, и҆ снидо́хъ и҆з̾ѧ́ти и҆̀хъ: и҆ нн҃ѣ грѧдѝ, послю́ тѧ во є҆гѵ́петъ.

³⁵

This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? him did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.

³⁵

Сего̀ мѡѷсе́а, є҆го́же ѿри́нꙋша, ре́кше: кто̀ тѧ̀ поста́ви нача́лника и҆ сꙋдїю̀; сего̀ бг҃ъ кнѧ́зѧ и҆ и҆зба́вителѧ посла̀ рꙋко́ю а҆́гг҃ла ꙗ҆́вльшагѡсѧ є҆мꙋ̀ въ кꙋпинѣ̀:

³⁶

This man led them forth, having wrought wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

³⁶

се́й и҆зведѐ и҆̀хъ, сотво́рь чꙋдеса̀ и҆ зна́мєнїѧ въ землѝ є҆гѵ́петстѣй и҆ въ чермнѣ́мъ мо́ри, и҆ въ пꙋсты́ни лѣ́тъ четы́редесѧть.

³⁷

This is that Moses, who said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me.

³⁷

Се́й є҆́сть мѡѷсе́й рекі́й сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ: прⷪ҇ро́ка ва́мъ воздви́гнетъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ва́шъ ѿ бра́тїи ва́шеѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ менѐ: тогѡ̀ послꙋ́шайте.

³⁸

This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel that spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us:

³⁸

Се́й є҆́сть бы́вый въ цр҃кви въ пꙋсты́ни со а҆́гг҃ломъ, глаго́лавшимъ є҆мꙋ̀ на горѣ̀ сїна́йстѣй, и҆ со ѻ҆тцы̑ на́шими, и҆́же прїѧ́тъ словеса̀ жи̑ва да́ти на́мъ,

³⁹

to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their heart unto Egypt,

³⁹

є҆гѡ́же не восхотѣ́ша послꙋ́шати ѻ҆тцы̀ на́ши, но ѿри́нꙋша и҆̀ и҆ ѡ҆брати́шасѧ се́рдцемъ свои́мъ во є҆гѵ́петъ,

⁴⁰

saying unto Aaron, Make us gods that shall go before us: for as for this Moses, who led us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

⁴⁰

ре́кше а҆арѡ́нꙋ: сотворѝ на́мъ бо́ги, и҆̀же пред̾и́дꙋтъ пред̾ на́ми, мѡѷсе́ю бо семꙋ̀, и҆́же и҆зведѐ на́съ ѿ землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ, не вѣ́мы, что̀ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀.

⁴¹

And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.

⁴¹

И҆ сотвори́ша телца̀ во дни̑ ѡ҆́ны, и҆ принесо́ша же́ртвꙋ і҆́дѡлꙋ, и҆ веселѧ́хꙋсѧ въ дѣ́лѣхъ рꙋкꙋ̀ своє́ю.

⁴²

But God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer unto me slain beasts and sacrifices Forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

⁴²

Ѿврати́сѧ же бг҃ъ и҆ предадѐ и҆̀хъ слꙋжи́ти во́ємъ небє́снымъ, ꙗ҆́коже пи́сано є҆́сть въ кни́зѣ прⷪ҇рѡ́къ: є҆да̀ заколє́нїѧ и҆ жє́ртвы принесо́сте мѝ лѣ́тъ четы́редесѧть въ пꙋсты́ни, до́ме і҆и҃левъ;

⁴³

And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of your god Remphan, The figures which ye made to worship them: And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

⁴³

и҆ воспрїѧ́сте ски́нїю моло́ховꙋ и҆ ѕвѣздꙋ̀ бо́га ва́шегѡ ремфа́на, ѡ҆́бразы, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́сте покланѧ́тисѧ и҆̀мъ: и҆ преселю́ вы да́лѣе вавѷлѡ́на.

⁴⁴

Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he appointed who spake unto Moses, that he should make it according to the figure that he had seen.

⁴⁴

Сѣ́нь свидѣ́нїѧ бѧ́ше ѻ҆тцє́мъ на́шымъ въ пꙋсты́ни, ꙗ҆́коже повелѣ̀ гл҃ѧй мѡѷсе́ови сотвори́ти ю҆̀ по ѡ҆́бразꙋ, є҆го́же ви́дѣ:

⁴⁵

Which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered on the possession of the nations, that God thrust out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

⁴⁵

ю҆́же и҆ внесо́ша прїе́мше ѻ҆тцы̀ на́ши со і҆исꙋ́сомъ во ѡ҆держа́нїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ, и҆̀хже и҆зри́нꙋ бг҃ъ ѿ лица̀ ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ, да́же до дні́й дв҃да:

⁴⁶

who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.

⁴⁶

и҆́же ѡ҆брѣ́те блгⷣть пред̾ бг҃омъ и҆ и҆спросѝ ѡ҆брѣстѝ селе́нїе бг҃ꙋ і҆а́кѡвлю.

⁴⁷

But Solomon built him a house.

⁴⁷

Соломѡ́нъ же созда̀ є҆мꙋ̀ хра́мъ.

⁴⁸

Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

⁴⁸

Но вы́шнїй не въ рꙋкотворе́нныхъ це́рквахъ живе́тъ, ꙗ҆́коже прⷪ҇ро́къ глаго́летъ:

⁴⁹

The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: What manner of house will ye build me? saith the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest?

⁴⁹

нб҃о мнѣ̀ прⷭ҇то́лъ є҆́сть, землѧ́ же подно́жїе нога́ма мои́ма: кі́й хра́мъ сози́ждете мѝ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆лѝ ко́е мѣ́сто поко́ищꙋ моемꙋ̀;

⁵⁰

Did not my hand make all these things?

⁵⁰

Не рꙋка́ ли моѧ̀ сотворѝ сїѧ̑ всѧ̑;

⁵¹

Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.

⁵¹

Жестоковы́йнїи и҆ неѡбрѣ́заннїи сердцы̀ и҆ оу҆шесы̀, вы̀ прⷭ҇нѡ дх҃ꙋ ст҃о́мꙋ проти́витесѧ, ꙗ҆́коже ѻ҆тцы̀ ва́ши, та́кѡ и҆ вы̀:

⁵²

Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed them that showed before of the coming of the Righteous One; of whom ye have now become betrayers and murderers;

⁵²

кого̀ ѿ прⷪ҇рѡ́къ не и҆згна́ша ѻ҆тцы̀ ва́ши; и҆ оу҆би́ша предвозвѣсти́вшыѧ ѡ҆ прише́ствїи првⷣнагѡ, є҆гѡ́же вы̀ нн҃ѣ преда́телє и҆ оу҆бі̑йцы бы́сте,

⁵³

ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not.

⁵³

и҆̀же прїѧ́сте зако́нъ оу҆строе́нїемъ а҆́гг҃лскимъ и҆ не сохрани́сте.

⁵⁴

Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

⁵⁴

Слы́шаще же сїѧ̑, распыха́хꙋсѧ сердцы̀ свои́ми и҆ скрежета́хꙋ зꙋбы̀ на́нь.

⁵⁵

But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

⁵⁵

Стефа́нъ же сы́й и҆спо́лнь дх҃а ст҃а, воззрѣ́въ на не́бо, ви́дѣ сла́вꙋ бж҃їю и҆ і҆и҃са стоѧ́ща ѡ҆ деснꙋ́ю бг҃а,

⁵⁶

and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

⁵⁶

и҆ речѐ: сѐ, ви́жꙋ небеса̀ ѿвє́рста и҆ сн҃а чл҃вѣ́ча ѡ҆ деснꙋ́ю стоѧ́ща бг҃а.

⁵⁷

But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;

⁵⁷

Возопи́вше же гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ, затыка́хꙋ оу҆́шы своѝ и҆ оу҆стреми́шасѧ є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ на́нь,

⁵⁸

and they cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

⁵⁸

и҆ и҆зве́дше внѣ̀ гра́да, ка́менїемъ побива́хꙋ є҆го̀: и҆ свидѣ́телїе (сне́мше) ри̑зы своѧ̑ положи́ша при ногꙋ̀ ю҆́ноши нарица́емагѡ са́ѵла,

⁵⁹

And they stoned Stephen, calling upon the Lord, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

⁵⁹

и҆ ка́менїемъ побива́хꙋ стефа́на, молѧ́щасѧ и҆ глаго́люща: гдⷭ҇и і҆и҃се, прїимѝ дꙋ́хъ мо́й.

⁶⁰

And he knelt down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

⁶⁰

Прекло́нь же колѣ̑на, возопѝ гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ: гдⷭ҇и, не поста́ви и҆̀мъ грѣха̀ сегѡ̀. И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́къ оу҆́спе.
