Деяния святых апостолов 26
1 Агриппа же к Павлу рече: повелевается ти о себе самому глаголати. Тогда Павел простер руку отвещаваше:
Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Yoʋ have permission to speak for yoʋrself.” So Paul stretched out his hand and began to make his defense:
2 о всех, о нихже оклеветаемь есмь от Иудей, царю Агриппо, непщую себе блаженна быти, яко пред тобою отвещати днесь имам,
“I consider myself fortunate that it is before yoʋ, King Agrippa, that I am about to make my defense today concerning all the things of which I am being accused by the Jews,
3 паче же ведца тя суща сведый всех Иудейских обычаев и взысканий. Темже молюся ти долготерпеливно послушати мене.
especially since yoʋ are acquainted with all the customs and controversies of the Jews. Therefore I beg yoʋ to listen to me patiently.
4 Житие убо мое еже от юности, исперва бывшее во языце моем во Иерусалиме, ведят вси Иудее,
“All the Jews know about my manner of life from my youth up, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem.
5 ведяще мя исперва, аще хотят свидетелствовати, яко по известней ереси нашея веры жих фарисей.
They have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived as a Pharisee.
6 И ныне о уповании обетования, бывшаго от Бога ко отцем нашым, стою судимь,
And now I am standing trial because of my hope in the promise God made to our fathers,
7 в неже обанадесяте колена наша безпрестани день и нощь служаще надеются доити: о немже уповании оклеветаемь есмь, царю Агриппо, от Иудей.
a promise that our twelve tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve him night and day. Regarding this hope, King Agrippa, I am being accused by the Jews.
8 Что? Неверно ли судится вами, яко Бог мертвыя возставляет?
Why is it deemed unbelievable by you that God raises the dead?
9 Аз убо мнех, яко подобает ми многа сопротивна противу имене Иисуса Назореа сотворити:
“Indeed, I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 еже и сотворих во Иерусалиме, и многи от святых аз в темницах затворях, власть от архиерей приемь: убиваемым же им прилагах совет:
And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. I locked up many of the saints in prison by the authority I received from the chief priests, and when they were being put to death, I cast my vote against them.
11 и на всех сонмищих множицею мучя их, принуждах хулити: преизлиха же враждуя на них, гонях даже и до внешних градов.
I also punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to force them to blaspheme. And being furiously enraged against them, I pursued them even to foreign cities.
12 В нихже идый в Дамаск со властию и повелением, еже от архиерей,
“While engaged in such things, I was on my way to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
13 в полудни на пути видех, царю, с небесе паче сияния солнечнаго осиявший мя свет и со мною идущих.
when at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who were traveling with me.
14 Всем же падшым нам на землю, слышах глас глаголющь ко мне и вещающь еврейским языком: Савле, Савле, что Мя гониши? Жестоко ти есть противу рожна прати.
When we had all fallen down to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are yoʋ persecuting me? It is hard for yoʋ to kick against the goads.’
15 Аз же рех: кто еси, Господи? Он же рече: Аз есмь Иисус, Егоже ты гониши:
I said, ‘Who are yoʋ, Lord?’ He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom yoʋ are persecuting.
16 но востани и стани на ногу твоею: на се бо явихся ти, сотворити тя слугу и свидетеля, яже видел еси и яже явлю тебе,
But rise and stand on yoʋr feet, for I have appeared to yoʋ for this purpose, to appoint yoʋ as a servant and witness to the things yoʋ have seen and to the things in which I will appear to yoʋ.
17 изимая тя от людий Иудейских и от язык, к нимже Аз тя послю,
I will rescue yoʋ from yoʋr own people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending yoʋ
18 отверсти очи их, да обратятся от тмы в свет и от области сатанины к Богу, еже прияти им оставление грехов и достояние во святых верою, яже в Мя.
to open their eyes so that they may turn away from darkness to light, and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an allotment among those who have been sanctified by faith in me.’
19 Темже, царю Агриппо, не бых противен небесному видению,
“Consequently, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
20 но сущым в Дамасце прежде и во Иерусалиме, и во всяцей стране Иудейстей и языком проповедую покаятися и обратитися к Богу, достойна покаянию дела творяще.
but first to those in Damascus and then to those in Jerusalem, to all the region of Judea and to the Gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God, doing works consistent with repentance.
21 Сих ради мя Иудее емше во святилищи хотяху растерзати.
That is why the Jews seized me in the temple courts and were trying to kill me.
22 Помощь убо улучив яже от Бога, даже до дне сего стою, свидетелствуя малу же и велику, ничтоже вещая, разве яже пророцы рекоша хотящая быти и Моисей,
But having obtained help from God, I stand to this day testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what the Prophets and Moses said would take place:
23 яко Христос имеяше пострадати, яко первый от воскресения мертвых свет хотяше проповедати людем (Иудейским) и языком.
that the Christ would suffer and that, as the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”
24 Сия же ему отвещавающу, Фист велиим гласом рече: беснуешися ли, Павле? Многия тя книги в неистовство прелагают.
As Paul was saying these things in his own defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Yoʋ are out of yoʋr mind, Paul. Too much learning is driving yoʋ insane!”
25 Он же: не беснуюся, рече, державный Фисте, но истины и целомудрия глаголы вещаю:
But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking words of truth and good sense.
26 весть бо о сих царь, к немуже и с дерзновением глаголю: утаитися бо ему от сих не верую ничесомуже, несть бо во угле сотворено сие:
For the king knows about these things, to whom I am speaking boldly. I am convinced that none of these things has escaped his notice at all, for this has not been done in a corner.
27 веруеши ли, царю Агриппо, пророком? Вем, яко веруеши.
Do yoʋ believe the Prophets, King Agrippa? I know that yoʋ believe.”
28 Агриппа же к Павлу рече: вмале мя препираеши Христианина быти.
Agrippa said to Paul, “Do yoʋ think yoʋ can persuade me to become a Christian so quickly?”
29 Павел же рече: молил убо бых Бога, и вмале и во мнозе, не токмо тебе, но и всех слышащих мя днесь, быти им тацем, яков и аз есмь, кроме уз сих.
Paul said, “Whether quickly or not, I pray to God that not only yoʋ but also all who are listening to me today would become as I am, except for these chains.”
30 И сия рекшу ему, воста царь и игемон, и Верникиа и седящии с ними,
After Paul said these things, the king stood up, along with the governor, Bernice, and those who were sitting with them.
31 и отшедше беседоваху друг ко другу, глаголюще, яко ничтоже смерти достойно или уз творит человек сей.
After leaving the room, they began saying to one another, “This man is doing nothing that deserves death or imprisonment.”
32 Агриппа же Фисту рече: отпущен быти можаше человек сей, аще не бы кесаря нарицал. И тако суди игемон послати его к кесарю.
And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
