¹

And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

¹

Са́влъ же бѣ́ соизволя́я убі́йству єго́. Бы́сть же въ то́й де́нь гоне́ніє ве́ліє на це́рковь Ієрусали́мскую: вси́ же разсѣ́яшася по страна́мъ Іуде́йскимъ и Самарі́йскимъ, кромѣ́ апо́столъ:

²

And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

²

погребо́ша же Стефа́на му́жіє благоговѣ́йніи и сотвори́ша пла́чь ве́лій надъ ни́мъ.

³

But Saul laid waste the church, entering into every house, and dragging men and women committed them to prison.

³

Са́влъ же озлобля́ше Це́рковь, въ до́мы входя́, и влачя́ му́жы и жены́, предая́ше въ темни́цу.

⁴

They therefore that were scattered abroad went about preaching the word.

⁴

Разсѣ́явшіися же прохожда́ху, благовѣству́юще сло́во.

⁵

And Philip went down to a city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them the Christ.

⁵

Філі́ппъ же соше́дъ во гра́дъ Самарі́йскій, проповѣ́даше и́мъ Христа́:

⁶

And the multitudes gave heed with one accord unto the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did.

⁶

внима́ху же наро́ди глаго́лемымъ от Філі́ппа єдиноду́шно, слы́шаще и ви́дяще зна́менія, я́же творя́ше:

⁷

For from many of those that had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice: and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were healed.

⁷

ду́си бо нечи́стіи от мно́гихъ иму́щихъ я́, вопію́ще гла́сомъ ве́ліимъ, исхожда́ху, мно́зи же разсла́бленніи и хро́міи исцѣли́шася:

⁸

And there was great joy in that city.

⁸

и бы́сть ра́дость ве́лія во гра́дѣ то́мъ.

⁹

But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who beforetime in the city used sorcery, and amazed the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

⁹

Му́жъ же нѣ́кій, и́менемъ Сі́монъ, пре́жде бѣ́ во гра́дѣ волхву́я и удивля́я язы́къ Самарі́йскій, глаго́ля нѣ́коєго бы́ти себе́ вели́ка,

¹⁰

to whom they gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

¹⁰

єму́же внима́ху вси́ от ма́ла да́же до вели́ка, глаго́люще: се́й є́сть си́ла Бо́жія вели́кая.

¹¹

And they gave heed to him, because that of long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.

¹¹

Внима́ху же єму́, зане́ дово́лно вре́мя волхвова́ніи удивля́ше и́хъ.

¹²

But when they believed Philip preaching the good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

¹²

Єгда́ же вѣ́роваша Філі́ппу благовѣству́ющу я́же о Ца́рствіи Бо́жіи и о и́мени Іису́съ Христо́вѣ, креща́хуся му́жіє же и жены́.

¹³

And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding miracles and signs wrought, he was amazed.

¹³

Сі́монъ же и са́мъ вѣ́рова и кре́щься бѣ́ пребыва́я у Філі́ппа: ви́дя же си́лы и зна́менія ве́лія быва́єма, ужа́сенъ дивля́шеся.

¹⁴

Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

¹⁴

Слы́шавше же и́же во Ієрусали́мѣ апо́столи, я́ко прія́тъ Самарі́а сло́во Бо́жіє, посла́ша къ ни́мъ Петра́ и Іоа́нна,

¹⁵

who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit:

¹⁵

и́же соше́дше помоли́шася о ни́хъ, я́ко да пріи́мутъ Ду́ха Свята́го:

¹⁶

for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of Christ Jesus.

¹⁶

єще́ бо ни на єди́наго и́хъ бѣ́ прише́лъ, то́чію креще́ни бя́ху во и́мя Го́спода Іису́са:

¹⁷

Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷

тогда́ возложи́ша ру́цѣ на ня́, и прія́ша Ду́ха Свята́го.

¹⁸

Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,

¹⁸

Ви́дѣвъ же Сі́монъ, я́ко возложе́ніємъ ру́къ апо́столскихъ дає́тся Ду́хъ Святы́й, принесе́ и́мъ сребро́,

¹⁹

saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹

глаго́ля: дади́те и мнѣ́ вла́сть сію́, да, на него́же а́ще положу́ ру́цѣ, пріи́метъ Ду́ха Свята́го.

²⁰

But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.

²⁰

Пе́тръ же рече́ къ нему́: сребро́ твоє́ съ тобо́ю да бу́детъ въ поги́бель, я́ко да́ръ Бо́жій непщева́лъ єси́ сребро́мъ стяжа́ти:

²¹

Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God.

²¹

нѣ́сть ти́ ча́сти ни жре́бія въ словеси́ се́мъ, и́бо се́рдце твоє́ нѣ́сть пра́во предъ Бо́гомъ:

²²

Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee.

²²

пока́йся у́бо о зло́бѣ твоє́й се́й и моли́ся Бо́гу, а́ще у́бо отпу́стится ти́ помышле́ніє се́рдца твоєго́:

²³

For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.

²³

въ же́лчи бо го́рести и сою́зѣ непра́вды зрю́ тя́ су́ща.

²⁴

And Simon answered and said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me.

²⁴

Отвѣща́въ же Сі́монъ рече́: помоли́теся вы́ о мнѣ́ ко Го́споду, я́ко да ничто́же си́хъ на́йдетъ на мя́, я́же реко́сте.

²⁵

They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

²⁵

Они́ же у́бо, засвидѣ́телствовавше и глаго́лавше сло́во Госпо́дне, возврати́шася во Ієрусали́мъ и мно́гимъ ве́семъ Самарі́йскимъ благовѣсти́ша.

²⁶

But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert.

²⁶

А́нгелъ же Госпо́день рече́ къ Філі́ппу, глаго́ля: воста́ни и иди́ на полу́дне, на пу́ть сходя́щій от Ієрусали́ма въ Га́зу: и то́й є́сть пу́стъ.

²⁷

And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;

²⁷

И воста́въ по́йде: и се́, му́жъ Му́рінъ, євну́хъ си́ленъ Кандакі́и цари́цы Му́рінскія, и́же бѣ́ надъ всѣ́ми сокро́вищи єя́, и́же пріи́де поклони́тися во Ієрусали́мъ:

²⁸

and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

²⁸

бѣ́ же возвраща́яся, и сѣдя́ на колесни́цѣ своє́й, чтя́ше проро́ка Иса́ію.

²⁹

And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

²⁹

Рече́ же Ду́хъ къ Філі́ппу: приступи́ и прилѣпи́ся колесни́цѣ се́й.

³⁰

And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

³⁰

Прите́къ же Філі́ппъ услы́ша єго́ чту́ща проро́ка Иса́ію и рече́: у́бо разумѣ́єши ли, я́же чте́ши?

³¹

And he said, How can I, except someone shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.

³¹

О́нъ же рече́: ка́ко у́бо могу́ [разумѣ́ти], а́ще не кто́ наста́витъ мя́? Умоли́ же Філі́ппа, да возше́дъ ся́детъ съ ни́мъ.

³²

Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:

³²

Сло́во же Писа́нія, є́же чтя́ше, бѣ́ сіє́: я́ко овча́ на заколе́ніє веде́ся, и я́ко а́гнецъ пря́мо стригу́щему єго́ безгла́сенъ, та́ко не отверза́єтъ у́стъ Свои́хъ:

³³

In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: And who shall declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth.

³³

во смире́ніи Єго́ су́дъ Єго́ взя́тся, ро́дъ же Єго́ кто́ исповѣ́сть? Я́ко взе́млется от земли́ живо́тъ Єго́.

³⁴

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?

³⁴

Отвѣща́въ же ка́женикъ къ Філі́ппу, рече́: молю́ тя, о ко́мъ проро́къ глаго́летъ сіє́? О себѣ́ ли, или́ о инѣ́мъ нѣ́коємъ?

³⁵

And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.

³⁵

Отве́рзъ же Філі́ппъ уста́ своя́ и наче́нъ от Писа́нія сего́, благовѣсти́ єму́ Іису́са.

³⁶

And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

³⁶

Я́коже идя́ху путе́мъ, пріидо́ша на нѣ́кую во́ду, и рече́ ка́женикъ: се́, вода́: что́ возбраня́єтъ ми́ крести́тися?

³⁸

And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

³⁷

Рече́ же єму́ Філі́ппъ: а́ще вѣ́руєши от всего́ се́рдца твоєго́, мо́щно ти́ є́сть. Отвѣща́въ же рече́: вѣ́рую Сы́на Бо́жія бы́ти Іису́са Христа́.

³⁹

And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.

³⁸

И повелѣ́ ста́ти колесни́цѣ: и снидо́ста о́ба на во́ду, Філі́ппъ же и ка́женикъ: и крести́ єго́.

⁴⁰

But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

³⁹

Єгда́ же изыдо́ста от воды́, Ду́хъ Святы́й нападе́ на ка́женика: А́нгелъ же Госпо́день восхи́ти Філі́ппа, и не ви́дѣ єго́ ктому́ ка́женикъ, идя́ше бо въ пу́ть сво́й ра́дуяся.
