Деяния святых апостолов 28
1 Спасени же бывше иже с Павлом от корабля, тогда разумеша, яко остров Мелит нарицается.
Once they had safely reached shore, they found out 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.
The native people showed us extraordinary kindness. For they welcomed us all and kindled a fire because of the rain that had set in and because of the cold.
3 Сгромаждшу же Павлу рождия множество и возложившу на огнь, ехидна от теплоты изшедши, секну в руку его.
Paul gathered a bundle of sticks, and when he was putting them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened 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.
When the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “This man is undoubtedly a murderer. Although he has been saved from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.”
5 Той же убо, оттряс змию во огнь, ничтоже зло пострада.
But Paul shook the creature 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.
The people were expecting that he would soon swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after waiting expectantly for a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said that 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 the region around that place were lands that belonged to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and hospitably took care of us as his guests 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.
Now it so happened that the father of Publius lay sick in bed, suffering from fevers and dysentery. So Paul went in to see him and healed him by praying and laying his hands on him.
9 Сему же бывшу, и прочии имущии недуги во острове том прихождаху и исцелевахуся:
After this happened, the rest of the people on the island who were sick also came and were healed.
10 иже и многими честьми почтоша нас, и отвозящымся нам яже на потребу вложиша.
So the people bestowed many honors on us, and when we were about to set sail, they provided us with the things we needed.
11 По триех же месяцех отвезохомся в корабли Александрийстем, подписаном Диоскуры, презимевшем во острове,
After three months, we set sail in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered at the island and that had the twin sons of Zeus as its figurehead.
12 и доплывше в Сиракусы, пребыхом дни три:
Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days.
13 оттуду же отплывше, приидохом в Ригию, и по единем дни возвеявшу югу, во вторый день приидохом в Потиолы,
From there we took a circuitous course 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.
There we found some brothers and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to 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.
When the brothers from Rome heard the news about us, they came out as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he gave thanks to God and took courage.
16 Егда же приидохом в Рим, сотник предаде узники воеводе, Павлу же повеле пребывати о себе, с соблюдающим его воином.
When we came into Rome, the centurion transferred the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who was guarding 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,
After three days, Paul called together those who were prominent among the Jews. When they had gathered together, he said to them, “Brothers, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, 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:
When they examined me, they were willing to release me because there were no grounds for death in my case.
19 сопротив же глаголющым Иудеем, нужда ми бысть нарещи кесаря, не яко язык мой имея в чесом оклеветати:
But when the Jews objected, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had any accusation to make against my own nation.
20 сея ради убо вины умолих вас, да вижду и беседую: надежды бо ради Израилевы веригами сими обложен есмь.
That is why I have asked to see you and speak with you, for it is on account 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:
They said to him, “We have received no letters from Judea about yoʋ, and none of the brothers who have come here have reported or spoken anything bad about yoʋ.
22 молимся же, да слышим от тебе, яже мудрствуеши: о ереси бо сей ведомо есть нам, яко всюду сопротив глаголемо есть.
But we think it would be best to hear what yoʋr views are, for concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against.”
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.
When they had arranged a day to meet with Paul, many more came to him at his lodging. From morning until evening he explained the matter to them, testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
24 И ови убо вероваху глаголемым, ови же не вероваху.
Some were convinced by what he said, but others refused 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 they were in disagreement with one another and began to leave after Paul made this one final statement: “The Holy Spirit was right in saying to our fathers through the prophet Isaiah:
26 глаголя: иди к людем сим и рцы: слухом услышите и не имате разумети: и видяще узрите и не имате видети:
‘Go to this people and say, “Although you will hear, you will never understand, and although you will see, you will 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.
For the heart of this people has become calloused; with their ears they have barely heard, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn back, and I would 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.
After Paul said these things, the Jews went away and had 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,
For two whole years Paul stayed in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to him,
31 проповедуя Царствие Божие и учя яже о Господе нашем Иисусе Христе со всяким дерзновением невозбранно.
preaching the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.
