Paul’s Defense at Jerusalem
“Brethren and fathers, hear my defense before you now.”
“Brethren and fathers, hear my defense before you now.”
Мужі брати й батьки, вислухайте тепер моє оправданнє перед вами.
And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they kept all the more silent.
Then he said:
Then he said:
Почувши ж, що Жидівською мовою говорив до них, ще більш утихомирились.)
“I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers’ law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today.
І рече: Я справдї чоловік Жидовин, роджений у Тарсї Киликийському, зрощений же у сьому городї при ногах Гамалиїла, навчений добре отцївського закону, бувши ревнителем Бога, якож ви всї тепер.
I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,
Я сей путь гонив до смерти, вяжучи та віддаючи в темницї чоловіків і жінок;
as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the council of the elders, from whom I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring in chains even those who were there to Jerusalem to be punished.
яко ж і архиєрей засьвідкує менї, і вся старшина, від котрих і листи взявши до братів, ішов я в Дамаск, щоб звязавши привести у Єрусалим тих, що там були, щоб скарано їх.
“Now it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me.
Стало ся ж менї, як ішов я і наближавсь до Дамаску, о полуднї зразу осияло мене велике сьвітло з неба.
And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’
І впав я на землю, і почув голос, глаголючий менї: Савле, Савле, чого мене гониш?
So I answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’
Я ж озвавсь: Хто єси, Господи? І рече до мене: Я Ісус Назорей, котрого ти гониш.
Ті ж, що були зо мною, видїли сьвітло і полякались; голосу ж не чули, що глаголав менї.
So I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.’
Сказав же я: Що робити менї, Господи? Господь же рече до мене: Уставши йди в Дамаск; а там скажеть ся тобі про все, що постановлено тобі робити.
And since I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
Як же не бачив я від сяєва того сьвітла, то ведений за руку від тих, що були зо мною, увійшов я в Дамаск.
“Then a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good testimony with all the Jews who dwelt there,
Ананїя ж, чоловік один побожний по закону, доброї слави у всїх тамешнїх Жидів,
came to me; and he stood and said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ And at that same hour I looked up at him.
прийшовши до мене і ставши, рече менї: Савле брате, прозри. І я тієї ж години побачив його.
Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth.
Він же рече: Бог отцїв наших вибрав тебе розуміти волю Його, й видїти Праведника, й чути голос із уст Його.
For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.
Бо будеш сьвідком Йому перед усїма людьми у тому, що ти бачив і чув єси.
And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
А тепер чого гаєш ся? уставши охрестись, та обмий гріхи твої, призвавши імя Господнє.
“Now it happened, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance
І сталось, як вернувсь я в Єрусалим та моливсь у церкві, то був у захопленню,
and saw Him saying to me, ‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.’
і видїв Його, глаголючого менї: Поспіши та вийди боржій з Єрусалиму, бо не приймуть сьвідчення твого про мене.
So I said, ‘Lord, they know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believe on You.
А я сказав: Господи, вони знають, що я вкидав у темницї та бив по школах тих, що вірували в Тебе.
І як пролилась кров Стефана, сьвідка Твого, я сам стояв і похваляв убийство його, стережучи одежі убийцїв його.
Then He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you far from here to the Gentiles.’ ”
І рече до мене: Іди: бо я до поган далеко пішлю тебе.
Paul’s Roman Citizenship
And they listened to him until this word, and then they raised their voices and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he is not fit to live!”
And they listened to him until this word, and then they raised their voices and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he is not fit to live!”
Слухали ж його аж до сього слова, а тепер зняли голос свій, кажучи: Геть із землї такого! не жити йому.
Як же кричали вони та кидали одежу, та підкидали порохом на воздух,
the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks, and said that he should be examined under scourging, so that he might know why they shouted so against him.
звелїв тисячник вести його в замок, і казав бійкою допитуватись у него, щоб дознатись, чого так гукають на него.
And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?”
Як же розтягнуто (вязано) його реміннєм, рече Павел до сотника стоячого: Хиба годить ся вам чоловіка Римлянина, та й несудженого, бити?
When the centurion heard that, he went and told the commander, saying, “Take care what you do, for this man is a Roman.”
Почувши ж сотник, приступивши до тисячника, сповістив, говорячи: Дивись, що хочеш робити; чоловік бо сей Римлянин.
Then the commander came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?”
He said, “Yes.”
He said, “Yes.”
Прийшовши тисячник промовив до него: Скажи менї, чи Римлянин єси ти? Він же рече: Так.
The commander answered, “With a large sum I obtained this citizenship.”
And Paul said, “But I was born a citizen.”
And Paul said, “But I was born a citizen.”
І відказав тисячник: За велику суму здобув я се горожанство. Павел же рече: Я ж і родивсь (у йому).
Then immediately those who were about to examine him withdrew from him; and the commander was also afraid after he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
Зараз тодї відступили від него ті, що мали в него допитуватись; і тисячник злякав ся, довідавшись, що се Римлянин, і що він його закував.
The Sanhedrin Divided
The next day, because he wanted to know for certain why he was accused by the Jews, he released him from his bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

Назавтра ж, хотївши довідатись певно, за що винуватять його, зняв з него кайдани, і звелїв прийти архиєреям і всїй радї їх і, вивівши Павла, поставив перед ними.
