AND it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ τὸν Ἀπολλὼ εἶναι ἐν Κορίνθῳ Παῦλον διελθόντα τὰ ἀνωτερικὰ μέρη ἐλθεῖν εἰς Ἔφεσον· καὶ εὑρὼν μαθητάς τινας

[Заⷱ҇ 42] Бы́сть же внегда̀ бы́ти а҆поллѡ́сꙋ въ корі́нѳѣ, па́ѵелъ, проше́дъ вы̑шнїѧ страны̑, прїи́де во є҆фе́съ, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тъ нѣ̑кїѧ ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ,

2

He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· εἰ Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον ἐλάβετε πιστεύσαντες; οἱ δὲ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν· ἀλλ᾿ οὐδὲ εἰ Πνεῦμα Ἅγιόν ἐστιν ἠκούσαμεν.

речѐ къ ни̑мъ: а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ дх҃ъ ст҃ъ прїѧ́ли є҆стѐ вѣ́ровавше; Ѻ҆ни́ же рѣ́ша къ немꙋ̀: но нижѐ а҆́ще дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й є҆́сть, слы́шахомъ.

3

And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

εἶπέ τε πρὸς αὐτούς· εἰς τί οὖν ἐβαπτίσθητε; οἱ δὲ εἶπον· εἰς τὸ Ἰωάννου βάπτισμα.

Рече́ же къ ни̑мъ: во что̀ ᲂу҆̀бо крести́стесѧ; Ѻ҆ни́ же реко́ша: во і҆ѡа́нново креще́нїе.

4

Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

εἶπε δὲ Παῦλος· Ἰωάννης μὲν ἐβάπτισε βάπτισμα μετανοίας, τῷ λαῷ λέγων εἰς τὸν ἐρχόμενον μετ᾿ αὐτὸν ἵνα πιστεύσωσι, τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν εἰς τὸν Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν.

Рече́ же па́ѵелъ: і҆ѡа́ннъ ᲂу҆́бѡ крестѝ креще́нїемъ покаѧ́нїѧ, лю́демъ глаго́лѧ, да во грѧдꙋ́щаго по не́мъ вѣ́рꙋютъ, си́рѣчь во хрⷭ҇та̀ і҆и҃са.

5

When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

ἀκούσαντες δὲ ἐβαπτίσθησαν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ.

Слы́шавше же крести́шасѧ во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са,

6

And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

καὶ ἐπιθέντος αὐτοῖς τοῦ Παύλου τὰς χεῖρας ἦλθε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς, ἐλάλουν τε γλώσσαις καὶ προεφήτευον.

и҆ возло́жшꙋ па́ѵлꙋ на нѧ̀ рꙋ́цѣ, прїи́де дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й на нѧ̀, глаго́лахꙋ же ѧ҆зы̑ки и҆ проро́чествовахꙋ.

7

And all the men were about twelve.

ἦσαν δὲ οἱ πάντες ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ δεκαδύο.

Бѧ́ше же всѣ́хъ мꙋже́й ꙗ҆́кѡ двана́десѧть.

8

And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.

Εἰσελθὼν δὲ εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν ἐπαρρησιάζετο ἐπὶ μῆνας τρεῖς διαλεγόμενος καὶ πείθων τὰ περὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ.

Вше́дъ же въ со́нмище, дерза́ше, не ѡ҆бинꙋ́ѧсѧ трѝ мцⷭ҇ы бесѣ́дꙋѧ и҆ ᲂу҆вѣрѧ́ѧ, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи.

9

But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

ὡς δέ τινες ἐσκληρύνοντο καὶ ἠπείθουν κακολογοῦντες τὴν ὁδὸν ἐνώπιον τοῦ πλήθους, ἀποστὰς ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν ἀφώρισε τοὺς μαθητάς, καθ᾿ ἡμέραν διαλεγόμενος ἐν τῇ σχολῇ Τυράννου τινός.

И҆ є҆гда̀ нѣ́цыи ѡ҆жесточа́хꙋсѧ и҆ прѧ́хꙋсѧ, ѕлосло́вѧще пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень пред̾ наро́домъ, ѿстꙋ́пль ѿ ни́хъ ѿлꙋчѝ ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ, по всѧ̑ дни̑ стѧза́ѧсѧ во ᲂу҆чи́лищи мꙋчи́телѧ {власти́телѧ} нѣ́коегѡ.

10

And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

τοῦτο δὲ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ ἔτη δύο, ὥστε πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν Ἀσίαν ἀκοῦσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, Ἰουδαίους τε καὶ ῞Ελληνας.

Сїе́ же бы́сть два̀ лѣ̑та, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѣ̑мъ живꙋ́щымъ во а҆сі́и слы́шати сло́во гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са, жидѡ́мъ же и҆ є҆́ллинѡмъ.

11

And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

Δυνάμεις τε οὐ τὰς τυχούσας ἐποίει ὁ Θεὸς διὰ τῶν χειρῶν Παύλου,

Си̑лы же не прѡ́сты творѧ́ше бг҃ъ рꙋка́ма па́ѵловыма,

12

So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

ὥστε καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀσθενοῦντας ἐπιφέρεσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ σουδάρια ἢ σιμικίνθια καὶ ἀπαλλάσσεσθαι ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν τὰς νόσους, τά τε πνεύματα τὰ πονηρὰ ἐξέρχεσθαι ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν.

ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ на недꙋ̑жныѧ наноси́ти ѿ (по́та) тѣ́ла є҆гѡ̀ главотѧ́жы и҆ ᲂу҆брꙋ́сцы, и҆ и҆сцѣли́тисѧ и҆̀мъ ѿ недꙋ̑гъ, и҆ дꙋхѡ́мъ лꙋка̑вымъ и҆сходи́ти ѿ ни́хъ.

13

Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

ἐπεχείρησαν δέ τινες ἀπὸ τῶν περιερχομένων Ἰουδαίων ἐξορκιστῶν ὀνομάζειν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἔχοντας τὰ πνεύματα τὰ πονηρὰ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες· ὁρκίζομεν ὑμᾶς τὸν Ἰησοῦν ὃν ὁ Παῦλος κηρύσσει.

Нача́ша же нѣ́цыи ѿ скита́ющихсѧ і҆ꙋдє́й заклина́телей и҆менова́ти над̾ и҆мꙋ́щими дꙋ́хи лꙋка̑выѧ и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са, глаго́люще: заклина́емъ вы̀ і҆и҃сомъ, є҆го́же па́ѵелъ проповѣ́дꙋетъ.

14

And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

ἦσαν δέ τινες υἱοὶ Σκευᾶ Ἰουδαίου ἀρχιερέως ἑπτὰ οἱ τοῦτο ποιοῦντες.

Бѧ́хꙋ же нѣ́цыи сы́нове ске́ѵы і҆ꙋде́анина а҆рхїере́а се́дмь, и҆̀же сїѐ творѧ́хꙋ.

15

And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

ἀποκριθὲν δὲ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ πονηρὸν εἶπε· τὸν Ἰησοῦν γινώσκω καὶ τὸν Παῦλον ἐπίσταμαι· ὑμεῖς δὲ τίνες ἐστέ;

Ѿвѣща́въ же дꙋ́хъ лꙋка́вый речѐ: і҆и҃са зна́ю и҆ па́ѵла свѣ́мъ, вы́ же кто̀ є҆стѐ;

16

And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

καὶ ἐφαλλόμενος ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ἐν ᾧ ἦν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ πονηρόν, καὶ κατακυριεύσας αὐτῶν ἴσχυσε κατ᾿ αὐτῶν, ὥστε γυμνοὺς καὶ τετραυματισμένους ἐκφυγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου ἐκείνου.

И҆ скачѧ̀ на ни́хъ человѣ́къ, въ не́мже бѣ̀ дꙋ́хъ лꙋка́вый, и҆ ѡ҆долѣ́въ и҆̀мъ, ᲂу҆крѣпи́сѧ на ни́хъ, ꙗ҆́коже наги̑мъ и҆ ᲂу҆ра́нєнымъ и҆збѣжа́ти ѿ хра́ма ѻ҆́нагѡ.

17

And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

τοῦτο δὲ ἐγένετο γνωστὸν πᾶσιν Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ ῞Ελλησι τοῖς κατοικοῦσι τὴν Ἔφεσον, καὶ ἐπέπεσε φόβος ἐπὶ πάντας αὐτούς, καὶ ἐμεγαλύνετο τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ·

Сїе́ же бы́сть разꙋ́мно всѣ̑мъ живꙋ́щымъ во є҆фе́сѣ і҆ꙋде́ємъ же и҆ є҆́ллинѡмъ, и҆ нападѐ стра́хъ на всѣ́хъ и҆̀хъ, и҆ велича́шесѧ и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са:

18

And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.

πολλοί τε τῶν πεπιστευκότων ἤρχοντο ἐξομολογούμενοι καὶ ἀναγγέλλοντες τὰς πράξεις αὐτῶν.

мно́зи же ѿ вѣ́ровавшихъ прихожда́хꙋ, и҆сповѣ́дающе и҆ сказꙋ́юще дѣла̀ своѧ̑:

19

Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

ἱκανοὶ δὲ τῶν τὰ περίεργα πραξάντων συνενέγκαντες τὰς βίβλους κατέκαιον ἐνώπιον πάντων· καὶ συνεψήφισαν τὰς τιμὰς αὐτῶν καὶ εὗρον ἀργυρίου μυριάδας πέντε.

дово́льни же ѿ сотво́ршихъ чародѣѧ̑нїѧ, собра́вше кни̑ги своѧ̑, сожига́хꙋ пред̾ всѣ́ми: и҆ сложи́ша цѣ́ны и҆́хъ и҆ ѡ҆брѣто́ша сребра̀ пѧ́ть те́мъ.

20

So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

οὕτω κατὰ κράτος ὁ λόγος τοῦ Κυρίου ηὔξανε καὶ ἴσχυεν.

Си́це крѣ́пкѡ сло́во гдⷭ҇не растѧ́ше и҆ крѣплѧ́шесѧ.

21

After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.

Ὡς δὲ ἐπληρώθη ταῦτα, ἔθετο ὁ Παῦλος ἐν τῷ πνεύματι διελθὼν τὴν Μακεδονίαν καὶ Ἀχαΐαν πορεύεσθαι εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, εἰπὼν ὅτι μετὰ τὸ γενέσθαι με ἐκεῖ δεῖ με καὶ Ρώμην ἰδεῖν.

И҆ ꙗ҆́коже сконча́шасѧ сїѧ̑, положѝ па́ѵелъ въ дꙋ́сѣ, проше́дъ македо́нїю и҆ а҆ха́їю, и҆тѝ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, ре́къ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́вшꙋ мѝ та́мѡ, подоба́етъ мѝ и҆ ри́мъ ви́дѣти.

22

So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.

ἀποστείλας δὲ εἰς τὴν Μακεδονίαν δύο τῶν διακονούντων αὐτῷ, Τιμόθεον καὶ Ἔραστον, αὐτὸς ἐπέσχε χρόνον εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν.

Посла́въ же въ македо́нїю два̀ ѿ слꙋжа́щихъ є҆мꙋ̀, тїмоѳе́а и҆ є҆ра́ста, са́мъ же пребы́сть вре́мѧ во а҆сі́и.

23

And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.

Ἐγένετο δὲ κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν ἐκεῖνον τάραχος οὐκ ὀλίγος περὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ.

Бы́сть же во вре́мѧ ѻ҆́но молва̀ не ма́ла ѡ҆ пꙋтѝ гдⷭ҇ни:

24

For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;

Δημήτριος γάρ τις ὀνόματι, ἀργυροκόπος, ποιῶν ναοὺς ἀργυροῦς Ἀρτέμιδος παρείχετο τοῖς τεχνίταις ἐργασίαν οὐκ ὀλίγην·

дими́трїй бо нѣ́кто и҆́менемъ, среброкова́чь, творѧ́й хра́мы срє́брѧны а҆ртемі́дѣ, подаѧ́ше хитрецє́мъ дѣ́ланїе {стѧжа́нїе} не ма́ло,

25

Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

οὓς συναθροίσας καὶ τοὺς περὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα ἐργάτας εἶπεν· ἄνδρες, ἐπίστασθε ὅτι ἐκ ταύτης τῆς ἐργασίας ἡ εὐπορία ἡμῶν ἐστι,

и҆̀хже собра́въ и҆ и҆́ны сицевы́хъ веще́й дѣ́латєли, речѐ: мꙋ́жїе, вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ сегѡ̀ дѣ́ланїѧ дово́льство житїю̀ на́шемꙋ є҆́сть:

26

Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:

καὶ θεωρεῖτε καὶ ἀκούετε ὅτι οὐ μόνον Ἐφέσου, ἀλλὰ σχεδὸν πάσης τῆς Ἀσίας ὁ Παῦλος οὗτος πείσας μετέστησεν ἱκανὸν ὄχλον, λέγων ὅτι οὐκ εἰσὶ θεοὶ οἱ διὰ χειρῶν γινόμενοι.

и҆ ви́дите и҆ слы́шите, ꙗ҆́кѡ не то́кмѡ є҆фе́съ, но ма́лѡ не всю̀ а҆сі́ю па́ѵелъ се́й препрѣ́въ, ѡ҆братѝ мно́гъ наро́дъ, глаго́лѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не сꙋ́ть бо́зи, и҆̀же рꙋка́ми человѣ́ческими быва́ютъ:

27

So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

οὐ μόνον δὲ τοῦτο κινδυνεύει ἡμῖν τὸ μέρος εἰς ἀπελεγμὸν ἐλθεῖν, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ τῆς μεγάλης θεᾶς Ἀρτέμιδος ἱερὸν εἰς οὐθὲν λογισθῆναι, μέλλειν τε καὶ καθαιρεῖσθαι τὴν μεγαλειότητα αὐτῆς, ἣν ὅλη ἡ Ἀσία καὶ ἡ οἰκουμένη σέβεται.

не то́кмѡ же сїѧ̀ бѣдꙋ̀ прїе́млетъ на́ша ча́сть, є҆́же бы во ѡ҆бличе́нїе не прїитѝ, но дабы̀ и҆ вели́кїѧ боги́ни а҆ртемі́ды хра́мъ ни во что́же не вмѣни́лсѧ, и҆́мать же разори́тисѧ и҆ вели́чество є҆ѧ̀, ю҆́же всѧ̀ а҆сі́а и҆ вселе́ннаѧ почита́етъ.

28

And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

ἀκούσαντες δὲ καὶ γενόμενοι πλήρεις θυμοῦ ἔκραζον λέγοντες· μεγάλη ἡ Ἄρτεμις Ἐφεσίων.

Слы́шавше же и҆ бы́вше и҆спо́лнени ꙗ҆́рости, вопїѧ́хꙋ глаго́люще: вели́ка а҆ртемі́да є҆фе́сскаѧ.

29

And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.

καὶ ἐπλήσθη ἡ πόλις τῆς συγχύσεως, ὥρμησάν τε ὁμοθυμαδὸν εἰς τὸ θέατρον συναρπάσαντες Γάϊον καὶ Ἀρίσταρχον Μακεδόνας, συνεκδήμους Παύλου.

И҆ и҆спо́лнисѧ гра́дъ ве́сь мѧте́жа: ᲂу҆стреми́шасѧ же є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ на позо́рище, восхи́щше га́їа и҆ а҆рїста́рха македо́нѧны, дрꙋ́ги {сопꙋ́тники} па́ѵлѡвы.

30

And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.

Τοῦ δὲ Παύλου βουλομένου εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν δῆμον οὐκ εἴων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταί.

Па́ѵлꙋ же хотѧ́щꙋ вни́ти въ наро́дъ, не ѡ҆ставлѧ́хꙋ є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀:

31

And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.

τινὲς δὲ καὶ τῶν Ἀσιαρχῶν, ὄντες αὐτῷ φίλοι, πέμψαντες πρὸς αὐτὸν παρεκάλουν μὴ δοῦναι ἑαυτὸν εἰς τὸ θέατρον.

нѣ́цыи же ѿ а҆сі́йскихъ нача̑льникъ, сꙋ́ще є҆мꙋ̀ дрꙋ́зи, посла́вше къ немꙋ̀, молѧ́хꙋ не вда́ти себѐ въ позо́ръ.

32

Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.

ἄλλοι μὲν οὖν ἄλλο τι ἔκραζον· ἦν γὰρ ἡ ἐκκλησία συγκεχυμένη, καὶ οἱ πλείους οὐκ ᾔδεισαν τίνος ἕνεκεν συνεληλύθεισαν.

Дрꙋзі́и же ᲂу҆̀бо и҆́но нѣ́что вопїѧ́хꙋ: бѣ́ бо собра́нїе смꙋще́но, и҆ мно́жайшїи ѿ ни́хъ не вѣ́дѧхꙋ, чесѡ̀ ра́ди собра́шасѧ.

33

And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.

ἐκ δὲ τοῦ ὄχλου προεβίβασαν Ἀλέξανδρον, προβαλλόντων αὐτὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων· ὁ δὲ Ἀλέξανδρος κατασείσας τὴν χεῖρα ἤθελεν ἀπολογεῖσθαι τῷ δήμῳ.

Ѿ наро́да же и҆збра́ша а҆леѯа́ндра, и҆зве́дшымъ є҆го̀ і҆ꙋде́ємъ. А҆леѯа́ндръ же, помаа́въ рꙋко́ю, хотѧ́ше ѿвѣща́ти наро́дꙋ.

34

But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

ἐπιγνόντες δὲ ὅτι Ἰουδαῖός ἐστι, φωνὴ ἐγένετο μία ἐκ πάντων, ὡς ἐπὶ ὥρας δύο κραζόντων· μεγάλη ἡ Ἄρτεμις Ἐφεσίων.

Разꙋмѣ́вше же, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆ꙋде́анинъ є҆́сть, гла́съ бы́сть є҆ди́нъ ѿ всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ на два̀ часа̑ вопїю́щихъ: вели́ка а҆ртемі́да є҆фе́сскаѧ.

35

And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?

Καταστείλας δὲ ὁ γραμματεὺς τὸν ὄχλον φησίν· ἄνδρες Ἐφέσιοι, τίς γάρ ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὃς οὐ γινώσκει τὴν Ἐφεσίων πόλιν νεωκόρον οὖσαν τῆς μεγάλης θεᾶς Ἀρτέμιδος καὶ τοῦ Διοπετοῦς;

Оу҆ти́шивъ же кни́жникъ наро́дъ, речѐ: мꙋ́жїе є҆фе́сстїи, кто́ бо є҆́сть человѣ́къ, и҆́же не вѣ́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆фе́сскїй гра́дъ слꙋжи́тель є҆́сть вели́кїѧ боги́ни а҆ртемі́ды и҆ дїопе́та;

36

Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

ἀναντιρρήτων οὖν ὄντων τούτων δέον ἐστὶν ὑμᾶς κατεσταλμένους ὑπάρχειν καὶ μηδὲν προπετὲς πράσσειν.

без̾ всѧ́кагѡ ᲂу҆̀бо прекосло́вїѧ си̑мъ си́це сꙋ́щымъ, потре́бно є҆́сть ва́мъ безмѡ́лвнымъ бы́ти и҆ ничто́же безчи́нно твори́ти:

37

For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.

ἠγάγετε γὰρ τοὺς ἄνδρας τούτους οὔτε ἱεροσύλους οὔτε βλασφημοῦντας τὴν θεὰν ὑμῶν.

приведо́сте бо мꙋже́й си́хъ, ни хра́мъ (а҆ртемі́динъ) ѡ҆кра́дшихъ, нижѐ боги́ню ва́шꙋ хꙋ́лѧщихъ:

38

Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.

εἰ μὲν οὖν Δημήτριος καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ τεχνῖται ἔχουσι πρός τινα λόγον, ἀγοραῖοι ἄγονται καὶ ἀνθύπατοί εἰσιν, ἐγκαλείτωσαν ἀλλήλοις.

а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ дими́трїй и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ хꙋдѡ́жницы и҆́мꙋтъ къ комꙋ̀ сло́во, сꙋды̀ сꙋ́ть и҆ а҆нѳѷпа́ти сꙋ́ть: да пое́млютъ дрꙋ́гъ на дрꙋ́га:

39

But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.

εἰ δέ τι περὶ ἑτέρων ἐπιζητεῖτε, ἐν τῇ ἐννόμῳ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐπιλυθήσεται.

а҆́ще ли же что̀ ѡ҆ и҆ны́хъ и҆́щете, въ зако́ннѣмъ собра́нїи разрѣши́тсѧ:

40

For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.

καὶ γὰρ κινδυνεύομεν ἐγκαλεῖσθαι στάσεως περὶ τῆς σήμερον, μηδενὸς αἰτίου ὑπάρχοντος περὶ οὗ δυνησόμεθα ἀποδοῦναι λόγον τῆς συστροφῆς ταύτης.

и҆́бо бѣ́дствꙋемъ порица́еми бы́ти ѡ҆ крамолѣ̀ дне́шней, ни є҆ди́нѣй винѣ̀ сꙋ́щей, ѡ҆ не́йже возмо́жемъ возда́ти сло́во стремле́нїѧ сегѡ̀. И҆ сїѧ̑ ре́къ распꙋстѝ собра́вшїйсѧ наро́дъ.

41

And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν ἀπέλυσε τὴν ἐκκλησίαν.
