Acts 22
1 “Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”
Мужие братие и отцы, услышите мой к вам ныне ответ.
2 When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
Слышавше же, яко еврейским языком возгласи к ним, паче приложиша безмолвие. И рече:
3 “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today.
аз убо есмь муж Иудеанин, родився в Тарсе Киликийстем, воспитан же во граде сем при ногу Гамалиилову, наказан известно отеческому закону, ревнитель сый Божий, якоже вси вы есте днесь:
4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,
иже сей путь гоних даже до смерти, вяжя и предая в темницу мужы же и жены,
5 as also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.
якоже и архиерей свидетелствует ми и вси старцы: от нихже и послания приемь к живущым в Дамасце братиям, идях привести сущыя тамо связаны во Иерусалим, да мучатся.
6 “As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky.
Бысть же ми идущу и приближающуся к Дамаску в полудне, внезапу с небесе облиста свет мног окрест мене.
7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
Падох же на землю и слышах глас глаголющь ми: Савле, Савле, что Мя гониши?
8 I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’
Аз же отвещах: кто еси, Господи? Рече же ко мне: Аз есмь Иисус Назорей, Егоже ты гониши.
9 “Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn’t understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
Со мною же сущии свет убо видеша и пристрашни быша, гласа же не слышаша Глаголющаго ко мне.
10 I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.’
Рекох же: что сотворю, Господи? Господь же рече ко мне: востав иди в Дамаск, и тамо речется ти о всех, яже вчинено ти есть творити.
11 When I couldn’t see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
И якоже не видех от славы света онаго, за руку ведомь от сущих со мною, внидох в Дамаск.
12 “One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
Ананиа же некий, муж благоговеин по закону, свидетелствован от всех живущих в Дамасце Иудей,
13 came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ In that very hour I looked up at him.
пришед ко мне и став рече ми: Савле брате, прозри. И аз в той час воззрех нань.
14 He said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
Он же рече ми: Бог отец наших изволи тя разумети хотение Его, и видети Праведника, и слышати глас от уст Его:
15 For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
яко будеши Ему свидетель у всех человеков о сих, яже видел еси и слышал:
16 Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
и ныне что медлиши? Востав крестися и омый грехи твоя, призвав имя Господа Иисуса.
17 “When I had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance
Бысть же возвратившумися во Иерусалим и молящумися в церкви, быти во изступлении
18 and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’
и видети Его глаголюща ми: потщися и изыди скоро из Иерусалима, зане не приимут свидетелства твоего, еже о Мне.
19 I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.
И аз рех: Господи, сами ведят, яко аз бех всаждая в темницу и бия по сонмищих верующыя в Тя,
20 When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.’
и егда изливашеся кровь Стефана свидетеля Твоего, и сам бех стоя и соизволяя убиению его и стрегий риз убивающих его.
21 “He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’”
И рече ко мне: иди, яко Аз во языки далече послю тя.
22 They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice and said, “Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’t fit to live!”
Послушаху же его даже до сего словесе и воздвигоша глас свой, глаголюще: возьми от земли таковаго, не подобает бо ему жити.
23 As they cried out, threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,
Вопиющым же им и мещущым ризы и прах возметающым на воздух,
24 the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.
повеле тысящник отвести его в полк, рек ранами истязати его, да разумеет, за кую вину тако вопияху нань.
25 When they had tied him up with thongs, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?”
И якоже протягоша его вервьми, рече к стоящему сотнику Павел: человека Римлянина и неосуждена леть ли есть вам бити?
26 When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!”
Слышав же сотник, приступи к тысящнику, сказа, глаголя: виждь, что хощеши сотворити? Человек бо сей Римлянин есть.
27 The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”
Приступль же тысящник рече ему: глаголи ми, Римлянин ли еси ты? Он же рече: ей.
28 The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”
Отвеща же тысящник: аз многою ценою наречение жителства сего стяжах. Павел же рече: аз же и родихся в нем.
29 Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
Абие убо отступиша от него хотящии его истязати, и тысящник же убояся, разумев, яко Римлянин есть, и яко бе его связал.
30 But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
На утрие же, хотя разумети истину, чесо ради оклеветается от Иудей, разреши его от уз и повеле приити архиереем и всему собору их: и свед Павла, постави (его) пред ними.
