Деяния святых апостолов 28
1 Спасени же бывше иже с Павлом от корабля, тогда разумеша, яко остров Мелит нарицается.
Following the rescue, they learned that the island was called Malta.
2 Варвари же творяху не малое милосердие нам: возгнещше бо огнь, прияша всех нас, за настоящий дождь и зиму.
Now the natives showed us unusual kindness, in that they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.
3 Сгромаждшу же Павлу рождия множество и возложившу на огнь, ехидна от теплоты изшедши, секну в руку его.
But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, because of the heat a viper came out and fastened itself on his hand.
4 И егда видеша варвари висящу змию от руки его, глаголаху друг ко другу: всяко убийца есть человек сей, егоже спасена от моря суд Божий жити не остави.
So when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they started saying to each other, “This man must be a murderer, whom Justice has not allowed to live, even though rescued from the sea.”
5 Той же убо, оттряс змию во огнь, ничтоже зло пострада.
But he just shook the beast off into the fire and suffered no harm.
6 Они же чаяху его имуща возгоретися, или пасти внезапу мертва: на мнозе же того чающым и ничтоже зло в нем бывшее видящым, претворшеся, глаголаху Бога того быти.
Well they were expecting him to swell up, or suddenly fall down dead; but after waiting for quite a while and seeing nothing unusual happening to him, they changed their mind and started saying he was a god.
7 Окрест же места онаго бяху села перваго во острове, именем Поплиа, иже приимь нас, три дни любезне учреди.
Now in that region there were properties belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and in a friendly manner took care of us for three days.
8 Бысть же отцу Поплиеву огнем и водным трудом одержиму лежати: к немуже Павел вшед, и помолився, и возложь руце свои нань, исцели его.
Well it happened that the father of Publius was sick in bed with fever and dysentery; Paul went in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
9 Сему же бывшу, и прочии имущии недуги во острове том прихождаху и исцелевахуся:
So, when this had happened, the rest of those on the island who had diseases started coming and being healed;
10 иже и многими честьми почтоша нас, и отвозящымся нам яже на потребу вложиша.
who also honored us in many ways, and when we put to sea they provided the necessary things.
11 По триех же месяцех отвезохомся в корабли Александрийстем, подписаном Диоскуры, презимевшем во острове,
Now after three months we put to sea in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was ‘the Twin Brothers’.
12 и доплывше в Сиракусы, пребыхом дни три:
We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days;
13 оттуду же отплывше, приидохом в Ригию, и по единем дни возвеявшу югу, во вторый день приидохом в Потиолы,
from there we tacked back and forth and arrived at Rhegium. After one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14 идеже обретше братию, умолени быхом от них пребыти дний седмь: и тако в Рим идохом.
where we found brothers who urged us to stay there seven days—that was how we went toward Rome.
15 И от тамо братия, слышавше яже о нас, изыдоша во сретение наше даже до Аппиева торга и триех корчемниц: ихже видев Павел и благодарив Бога, прият дерзновение.
And the brothers there, when they heard about our circumstances, came out to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Three Inns. When Paul saw them he thanked God and took courage.
16 Егда же приидохом в Рим, сотник предаде узники воеводе, Павлу же повеле пребывати о себе, с соблюдающим его воином.
Now when we entered Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the commander; but Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who guarded him.
17 Бысть же по днех триех, созва Павел сущыя от Иудеев первыя: сшедшымся же им, глаголаше к ним: мужие братие, аз ничтоже противно сотворив людем или обычаем отеческим, узник от Иерусалимлян предан бых в руце Римляном,
It happened that after three days Paul called together the leaders of the Jews; and when they had assembled he said to them: “Men, brothers, though I had done nothing against ‘the people’ or the ancestral customs, still I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
18 иже разсудивше яже о мне, хотяху пустити, зане ни едина вина смертная бысть во мне:
who, when they had examined me, were intending to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.
19 сопротив же глаголющым Иудеем, нужда ми бысть нарещи кесаря, не яко язык мой имея в чесом оклеветати:
But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar; not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
20 сея ради убо вины умолих вас, да вижду и беседую: надежды бо ради Израилевы веригами сими обложен есмь.
For this reason therefore I asked to see you and speak with you; it is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
21 Они же к нему реша: мы ниже писания о тебе прияхом от Иудей, ниже пришед кто от братий возвести или глагола что о тебе зло:
So they said to him: “We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brothers who came reported or spoken any evil about you.
22 молимся же, да слышим от тебе, яже мудрствуеши: о ереси бо сей ведомо есть нам, яко всюду сопротив глаголемо есть.
But we desire to hear from you what you think; because as for this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere.”
23 Уставивше же ему день, приидоша к нему в странноприемницу множайшии, имже сказаше свидетелствуя Царствие Божие и уверяя их, яже о Иисусе, от закона Моисеова и пророк, от утра даже до вечера.
So arranging a day with him, even more people came to him at his lodging, to whom he kept expounding from morning until evening: solemnly testifying about the Kingdom of God and trying to convince them concerning Jesus, from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
24 И ови убо вероваху глаголемым, ови же не вероваху.
Well some were persuaded by what had been said, and some kept refusing to believe.
25 Несогласни же суще друг ко другу, отхождаху, рекшу Павлу глагол един, яко добре Дух Святый глагола Исаием пророком ко отцем нашым,
So being in disagreement among themselves they started to leave, after Paul had said this one word: “The Holy Spirit spoke correctly to our fathers through Isaiah the prophet,
26 глаголя: иди к людем сим и рцы: слухом услышите и не имате разумети: и видяще узрите и не имате видети:
saying: ‘Go to this people and say, “You will keep on hearing, but never understand; you will keep on seeing, but never perceive”;
27 одебеле бо сердце людий сих, и ушима тяжко слышаша, и очи свои смежиша, да не како увидят очима, и ушима услышат, и сердцем уразумеют, и обратятся, и исцелю их.
because the heart of this people has become sluggish, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; in order that they not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their heart, nor turn back, so I could heal them.’
28 Ведомо убо да будет вам, яко языком послася спасение Божие, сии и услышат.
Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen!”
29 И сия тому рекшу, отидоша Иудее, многое имуще между собою состязание.
And when he had said these things the Jews went their way, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 Пребысть же Павел два лета исполнь своею мздою (цела два лета на своем иждивении) и приимаше вся приходящыя к нему,
Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to see him,
31 проповедуя Царствие Божие и учя яже о Господе нашем Иисусе Христе со всяким дерзновением невозбранно.
proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all boldness, without hindrance.
