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

Са́ѵлъ же бѣ̀ соизволѧ́ѧ оу҆бі́йствꙋ є҆гѡ̀. Бы́сть же въ то́й де́нь гоне́нїе ве́лїе на цр҃ковь і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мскꙋю: вси́ же разсѣ́ѧшасѧ по страна́мъ і҆ꙋдє́йскимъ и҆ самарі̑йскимъ, кромѣ̀ а҆пⷭ҇лъ:

²

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

²

погребо́ша же стефа́на мꙋ́жїе благоговѣ́йнїи и҆ сотвори́ша пла́чь ве́лїй над̾ ни́мъ.

³

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

³

Са́ѵлъ же ѡ҆ѕлоблѧ́ше цр҃ковь, въ до́мы входѧ̀, и҆ влачѧ̀ мꙋ́жы и҆ жєны̀, предаѧ́ше въ темни́цꙋ.

⁴

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

⁴

Разсѣ́ѧвшїисѧ же прохожда́хꙋ, благовѣствꙋ́юще сло́во.

⁵

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

⁵

(Заⷱ҇ и҃і҃.) Фїлі́ппъ же соше́дъ во гра́дъ самарі́йскїй, проповѣ́даше и҆̀мъ хрⷭ҇та̀:

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

внима́хꙋ же наро́ди глаго́лємымъ ѿ фїлі́ппа є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ, слы́шаще и҆ ви́дѧще зна́мєнїѧ, ꙗ҆̀же творѧ́ше:

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

дꙋ́си бо нечи́стїи ѿ мно́гихъ и҆мꙋ́щихъ ѧ҆̀, вопїю́ще гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ, и҆схожда́хꙋ, мно́зи же разсла́бленнїи и҆ хро́мїи и҆сцѣли́шасѧ:

⁸

And there was great joy in that city.

⁸

и҆ бы́сть ра́дость ве́лїѧ 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

Мꙋ́жъ же нѣ́кїй, и҆́менемъ сі́мѡнъ, пре́жде бѣ̀ во гра́дѣ волхвꙋ́ѧ и҆ оу҆дивлѧ́ѧ ꙗ҆зы́къ самарі́йскїй, глаго́лѧ нѣ́коего бы́ти себѐ вели́ка,

¹⁰

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

¹⁰

є҆мꙋ́же внима́хꙋ всѝ ѿ ма́ла да́же до вели́ка, глаго́люще: се́й є҆́сть си́ла бж҃їѧ вели́каѧ.

¹¹

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

¹¹

Внима́хꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀, занѐ дово́лно вре́мѧ волхвова̑нїи оу҆дивлѧ́ше и҆̀хъ.

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

Є҆гда́ же вѣ́роваша фїлі́ппꙋ благовѣствꙋ́ющꙋ ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи и҆ ѡ҆ и҆́мени і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́вѣ, креща́хꙋсѧ мꙋ́жїе же и҆ жєны̀.

¹³

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

¹³

Сі́мѡнъ же и҆ са́мъ вѣ́рова и҆ кре́щьсѧ бѣ̀ пребыва́ѧ оу҆ фїлі́ппа: ви́дѧ же си̑лы и҆ зна́мєнїѧ вє́лїѧ быва́єма, оу҆жа́сенъ дивлѧ́шесѧ.

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 и҆̀же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ а҆пⷭ҇ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїѧ́тъ самарі́а сло́во бж҃їе, посла́ша къ ни̑мъ петра̀ и҆ і҆ѡа́нна,

¹⁵

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

¹⁵

и҆̀же соше́дше помоли́шасѧ ѡ҆ ни́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да прїи́мꙋтъ дх҃а ст҃а́го:

¹⁶

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

¹⁶

є҆ще́ бо ни на є҆ди́наго и҆́хъ бѣ̀ прише́лъ, то́чїю креще́ни бѧ́хꙋ во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са:

¹⁷

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

¹⁷

тогда̀ возложи́ша рꙋ́цѣ на нѧ̀, и҆ прїѧ́ша дх҃а ст҃а́го.

¹⁸

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

¹⁸

(Заⷱ҇ ѳ҃і҃.) Ви́дѣвъ же сі́мѡнъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ возложе́нїемъ рꙋ́къ а҆пⷭ҇лскихъ дае́тсѧ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й, принесѐ и҆̀мъ сребро̀,

¹⁹

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

¹⁹

глаго́лѧ: дади́те и҆ мнѣ̀ вла́сть сїю̀, да, на него́же а҆́ще положꙋ̀ рꙋ́цѣ, прїи́метъ дх҃а ст҃а́го.

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 речѐ къ немꙋ̀: сребро̀ твоѐ съ тобо́ю да бꙋ́детъ въ поги́бель, ꙗ҆́кѡ да́ръ бж҃їй непщева́лъ є҆сѝ сребро́мъ стѧжа́ти:

²¹

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

²¹

нѣ́сть тѝ ча́сти ни жре́бїѧ въ словесѝ се́мъ, и҆́бо се́рдце твоѐ нѣ́сть пра́во пред̾ бг҃омъ:

²²

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

²²

пока́йсѧ оу҆̀бо ѡ҆ ѕло́бѣ твое́й се́й и҆ моли́сѧ бг҃ꙋ, а҆́ще оу҆́бѡ ѿпꙋ́ститсѧ тѝ помышле́нїе се́рдца твоегѡ̀:

²³

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

²³

въ же́лчи бо го́рести и҆ сою́зѣ непра́вды зрю̀ тѧ̀ сꙋ́ща.

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

Ѿвѣща́въ же сі́мѡнъ речѐ: помоли́тесѧ вы̀ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ничто́же си́хъ на́йдетъ на мѧ̀, ꙗ҆̀же 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

Ѻ҆ни́ же оу҆̀бо, засвидѣ́телствовавше и҆ глаго́лавше сло́во гдⷭ҇не, возврати́шасѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ и҆ мнѡ́гимъ ве́семъ самарі̑йскимъ 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

(Заⷱ҇ к҃.) А҆́гг҃лъ же гдⷭ҇ень речѐ къ фїлі́ппꙋ, глаго́лѧ: воста́ни и҆ и҆дѝ на полꙋ́дне, на пꙋ́ть сходѧ́щїй ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма въ га́зꙋ: и҆ то́й є҆́сть пꙋ́стъ.

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

И҆ воста́въ по́йде: и҆ сѐ, мꙋ́жъ мꙋ́рїнъ, є҆ѵнꙋ́хъ си́ленъ кандакі́и цари́цы мꙋ́рїнскїѧ, и҆́же бѣ̀ над̾ всѣ́ми сокрѡ́вищи є҆ѧ̀, и҆́же прїи́де поклони́тисѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ:

²⁸

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

²⁸

бѣ́ же возвраща́ѧсѧ, и҆ сѣдѧ̀ на колесни́цѣ свое́й, чтѧ́ше прⷪ҇ро́ка и҆са́їю.

²⁹

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

²⁹

Рече́ же дх҃ъ къ фїлі́ппꙋ: пристꙋпѝ и҆ прилѣпи́сѧ 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 фїлі́ппъ оу҆слы́ша є҆го̀ чтꙋ́ща прⷪ҇ро́ка и҆са́їю и҆ речѐ: оу҆́бѡ разꙋмѣ́еши ли, ꙗ҆́же 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

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: ка́кѡ оу҆́бѡ могꙋ̀ (разꙋмѣ́ти), а҆́ще не кто̀ наста́витъ мѧ̀; оу҆моли́ же фїлі́ппа, да возше́дъ сѧ́детъ 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 писа́нїѧ, є҆́же чтѧ́ше, бѣ̀ сїѐ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆вча̀ на заколе́нїе веде́сѧ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гнецъ прѧ́мѡ стригꙋ́щемꙋ є҆го̀ безгла́сенъ, та́кѡ не ѿверза́етъ оу҆́стъ 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 смире́нїи є҆гѡ̀ сꙋ́дъ є҆гѡ̀ взѧ́тсѧ, ро́дъ же є҆гѡ̀ кто̀ и҆сповѣ́сть; ꙗ҆́кѡ взе́млетсѧ ѿ землѝ живо́тъ є҆гѡ̀.

³⁴

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

³⁴

Ѿвѣща́въ же ка́женикъ къ фїлі́ппꙋ, речѐ: молю́ тѧ, ѡ҆ ко́мъ прⷪ҇ро́къ глаго́летъ сїѐ; ѡ҆ себѣ́ ли, и҆лѝ ѡ҆ и҆нѣ́мъ нѣ́коемъ;

³⁵

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

³⁵

Ѿве́рзъ же фїлі́ппъ оу҆ста̀ своѧ̑ и҆ наче́нъ ѿ писа́нїѧ сегѡ̀, благовѣстѝ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃са.

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

Ꙗ҆́коже и҆дѧ́хꙋ пꙋте́мъ, прїидо́ша на нѣ́кꙋю во́дꙋ, и҆ речѐ ка́женикъ: сѐ, вода̀: что̀ возбранѧ́етъ мѝ крести́тисѧ;

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 є҆мꙋ̀ фїлі́ппъ: а҆́ще вѣ́рꙋеши ѿ всегѡ̀ се́рдца твоегѡ̀, мо́щно тѝ є҆́сть. Ѿвѣща́въ же речѐ: вѣ́рꙋю сн҃а бж҃їѧ бы́ти і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.

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

И҆ повелѣ̀ ста́ти колесни́цѣ: и҆ снидо́ста ѻ҆́ба на во́дꙋ, фїлі́ппъ же и҆ ка́женикъ: и҆ крестѝ є҆го̀.

⁴⁰

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

³⁹

Є҆гда́ же и҆зыдо́ста ѿ воды̀, дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й нападѐ на ка́женика: а҆́гг҃лъ же гдⷭ҇ень восхи́ти фїлі́ппа, и҆ не ви́дѣ є҆гѡ̀ ктомꙋ̀ ка́женикъ, и҆дѧ́ше бо въ пꙋ́ть сво́й ра́дꙋѧсѧ.
