Acts 26
1 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You [(sg)] are permitted [now] to speak [to defend] yourself.” Paul stretched out his hand ([dramatically/to salute the king]) and began to defend himself. He said,
Агриппа сказал Павлу: позволяется тебе говорить за себя. Тогда Павел, простерши руку, стал говорить в свою защиту:
2 “King Agrippa, I consider that I am fortunate that today, while you [(sg)] listen, I can defend myself from all the things about which the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] are accusing me.
царь Агриппа! почитаю себя счастливым, что сегодня могу защищаться перед тобою во всем, в чем обвиняют меня Иудеи,
3 I am really fortunate, because you [(sg)] know all about the customs of us Jews and the questions that we [(exc)] argue about. So I ask you, please listen patiently to what I say.”
тем более, что ты знаешь все обычаи и спорные мнения Иудеев. Посему прошу тебя выслушать меня великодушно.
4 “Many [HYP] of my fellow Jews know about how I have conducted my life, from the time I was a child. They know how I lived in the area where I [was born] and [also later] in Jerusalem.
Жизнь мою от юности моей, которую сначала проводил я среди народа моего в Иерусалиме, знают все Иудеи;
5 They have known for many years, and they could tell you, if they wanted to, that [since I was very young] I obeyed the customs of our religion very carefully, just like the [other] Pharisees do.
они издавна знают обо мне, если захотят свидетельствовать, что я жил фарисеем по строжайшему в нашем вероисповедании учению.
6 Today I am being put on trial {[they] are putting me on trial} because I am confidently expecting that God will do what he promised our [(exc)] ancestors.
И ныне я стою перед судом за надежду на обетование, данное от Бога нашим отцам,
7 Our twelve tribes are [also] confidently waiting for God to do [for us what he promised], as they respectfully worship him, day and night. [Respected] king, I confidently expect [that God will do what he promised, and they also believe that! But that is the reason] that these Jewish leaders [SYN] are accusing me!
которого исполнение надеются увидеть наши двенадцать колен, усердно служа Богу день и ночь. За сию-то надежду, царь Агриппа, обвиняют меня Иудеи.
8 They believe that God can cause those who have died to become alive again, so (why [do any of you refuse to believe that he raised Jesus from the dead?/none of you should refuse to believe that he raised Jesus from the dead!]) [RHQ]”
Что же? Неужели вы невероятным почитаете, что Бог воскрешает мертвых?
9 “[Formerly] I, too, was sure that I should do everything that I could to oppose Jesus [MTY], the man from Nazareth [town].
Правда, и я думал, что мне должно много действовать против имени Иисуса Назорея.
10 So that is what I did [when I lived] in Jerusalem. I put many of the believers in jail, as the chief priests there had authorized me [to do]. When [the Jewish leaders wanted] those Christians killed {someone to kill those [Christians]}, I voted [for that].
Это я и делал в Иерусалиме: получив власть от первосвященников, я многих святых заключал в темницы, и, когда убивали их, я подавал на то голос;
11 Many times I punished the believers [whom I found] in Jewish meeting places. [By punishing them], I tried to force them to speak evil [about Jesus]. I was so angry with the followers of Jesus that I even traveled to other cities to [find them and] do things to harm them.”
и по всем синагогам я многократно мучил их, и принуждал хулить Иисуса, и, в чрезмерной против них ярости, преследовал даже и в чужих городах.
12 “[One day], I was on my way to Damascus [city] to do that. The chief priests [in Jerusalem] had authorized and sent me [to seize the believers there].
Для сего, идя в Дамаск со властью и поручением от первосвященников,
13 [My respected] king, [while I was going] along the road, at about noon I saw a [bright] light in the sky. It was even brighter than the sun! It shone all around me, and also around the men who were traveling with me.
среди дня на дороге я увидел, государь, с неба свет, превосходящий солнечное сияние, осиявший меня и шедших со мною.
14 We [(exc)] all fell to the ground. Then I heard the voice of someone speaking to me in my own Hebrew language [MTY]. He said ‘Saul, Saul, (stop causing me to suffer!/why are you causing me to suffer?) [RHQ] You [(sg)] are [hurting yourself by trying to hurt me] [MET], [like an ox] kicking against [its owner’s] goad.’
Все мы упали на землю, и я услышал голос, говоривший мне на еврейском языке: Савл, Савл! что ты гонишь Меня? Трудно тебе идти против рожна.
15 Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘I am Jesus. You [(sg)] are harming me [by harming my followers].
Я сказал: кто Ты, Господи? Он сказал: “Я Иисус, Которого ты гонишь.
16 But instead [of continuing to do that], stand up now! I have appeared to you [(sg)] to tell you that I have chosen you to serve me. You must tell people about [what I am showing you] as you are seeing me [now], and about what I [will show you when] I will [later] appear to you.
Но встань и стань на ноги твои; ибо Я для того и явился тебе, чтобы поставить тебя служителем и свидетелем того, что ты видел и что Я открою тебе,
17 I will protect you [from those who will try to harm you, both] your own people and [also] those who are not Jewish. I am sending you to non-Jews
избавляя тебя от народа Иудейского и от язычников, к которым Я теперь посылаю тебя
18 to help them to realize [MTY] what is true and to stop believing what is false [MET]. I am sending you to them so that they may let God control them and not let Satan control them any more. [Then God] will forgive their sins and will accept them as his people because they believe in me.’ [That is what Jesus said to me].”
открыть глаза им, чтобы они обратились от тьмы к свету и от власти сатаны к Богу и верою в Меня получили прощение грехов и жребий с освященными”.
19 “So, King Agrippa, I fully obeyed [LIT] what [the Lord Jesus told me to do when he spoke to me] from heaven.
Поэтому, царь Агриппа, я не воспротивился небесному видению,
20 First, I preached to [the Jews] in Damascus. Then I [preached to the Jews] in Jerusalem and throughout [the rest of] Judea [province]. After that, I also preached to non-Jews. I preached that they must turn away from their sinful behavior and turn their lives over to God. I told them that they must do things that would show that they had truly stopped their sinful behavior.”
но сперва жителям Дамаска и Иерусалима, потом всей земле Иудейской и язычникам проповедывал, чтобы они покаялись и обратились к Богу, делая дела, достойные покаяния.
21 “It is because I [preached] this message [that some] [SYN] Jews seized me [when I was] in the Temple [courtyard and] tried to kill me.
За это схватили меня Иудеи в храме и покушались растерзать.
22 However, God has been helping me [from that time, and he is still helping me] today. So I stand here and I tell [all of you people], those who are important and those who are not, [who Jesus is]. Everything that I say [about him] is what Moses and the [other] prophets wrote [about long ago, things that they said] would happen.
Но, получив помощь от Бога, я до сего дня стою, свидетельствуя малому и великому, ничего не говоря, кроме того, о чем пророки и Моисей говорили, что это будет,
23 They wrote that [people would cause] the Messiah to suffer and die. They also wrote that he would be the first person to become alive again, to proclaim [the message that would be like] light, [that he would save] both [his own Jewish] people and non-Jewish people.”
то есть что Христос имел пострадать и, восстав первый из мертвых, возвестить свет народу Иудейскому и язычникам.
24 Before Paul could say anything [further] to defend himself, Festus shouted: “Paul, you are crazy! You have studied too much, and it has made you insane!”
Когда он так защищался, Фест громким голосом сказал: безумствуешь ты, Павел! большая ученость доводит тебя до сумасшествия.
25 But Paul answered, “Your Excellency, Festus, I am not raving [insanely]. On the contrary, what I am saying is true and sensible!
Нет, достопочтенный Фест, сказал он, я не безумствую, но говорю слова истины и здравого смысла.
26 King Agrippa knows the things [that I have been talking about], and I can speak confidently to him [about them]. I am sure that he knows [LIT] these things, because people everywhere [IDM] have heard [LIT] about what happened [to Jesus].”
Ибо знает об этом царь, перед которым и говорю смело. Я отнюдь не верю, чтобы от него было что-нибудь из сего скрыто; ибо это не в углу происходило.
27 Then Paul asked, “King Agrippa, do you believe [what] the prophets [wrote]? I know that you [(sg)] believe it.”
Веришь ли, царь Агриппа, пророкам? Знаю, что веришь.
28 Then Agrippa [answered] Paul, “([I hope that you(sg)] do not think that by the few things [that you have just now said] you can persuade me to become a Christian!/You do not think, [do you], that by the few things [that you have just now said] you can persuade me to become a Christian?)” [RHQ]
Агриппа сказал Павлу: ты немного не убеждаешь меня сделаться Христианином.
29 Paul replied, “Whether it takes a short time or a long time, it does not matter. I pray to God that you and also all of the others who are listening to me today will also [believe in Jesus] like I do, but I do not want you to become prisoners [MTY] [like I am].”
Павел сказал: молил бы я Бога, чтобы, мало ли, много ли, не только ты, но и все, слушающие меня сегодня, сделались такими, как я, кроме этих уз.
30 Then the king, the governor, Bernice, and all the others got up
Когда он сказал это, царь и правитель, Вереника и сидевшие с ними встали;
31 and left [the room. While] they were talking to one another they said to each other, “There is no reason why (the authorities/we) should execute this man, or that he should even be kept in prison [MTY].”
и, отойдя в сторону, говорили между собою, что этот человек ничего, достойного смерти или уз, не делает.
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “If this man had not asked that the Emperor judge him, he could have been released {[we(inc)] could have released him}.”
И сказал Агриппа Фесту: можно было бы освободить этого человека, если бы он не потребовал суда у кесаря. Посему и решился правитель послать его к кесарю.
