Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Мꙋ́жъ же нѣ́кїй, а҆на́нїа и҆́менемъ, съ сапфі́рою жено́ю свое́ю, продадѐ село̀
1 Ἀνὴρ δέ τις Ἀνανίας ὀνόματι σὺν Σαπφείρῃ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπώλησε κτῆμα
2 и҆ ᲂу҆таѝ ѿ цѣны̀, свѣ́дꙋщей и҆ женѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ прине́съ ча́сть нѣ́кꙋю, пред̾ нога́ми а҆пⷭ҇лъ положѝ.
2 καὶ ἐνοσφίσατο ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς, συνειδυίας καὶ τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνέγκας μέρος τι παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων ἔθηκεν.
3 Рече́ же пе́тръ: а҆на́нїе, почто̀ и҆спо́лни сатана̀ се́рдце твоѐ солга́ти дх҃ꙋ ст҃о́мꙋ и҆ ᲂу҆таи́ти ѿ цѣны̀ села̀;
3 εἶπε δὲ Πέτρος· Ἀνανία, διατί ἐπλήρωσεν ὁ σατανᾶς τὴν καρδίαν σου, ψεύσασθαί σε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον καὶ νοσφίσασθαι ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς τοῦ χωρίου;
4 сꙋ́щее тебѣ̀ не твое́ ли бѣ̀, и҆ прода́ное не въ твое́й ли вла́сти бѧ́ше; что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ положи́лъ є҆сѝ въ се́рдцы твое́мъ ве́щь сїю̀; не человѣ́кѡмъ солга́лъ є҆сѝ, но бг҃ꙋ.
4 οὐχὶ μένον σοι ἔμενε καὶ πραθὲν ἐν τῇ σῇ ἐξουσίᾳ ὑπῆρχε; τί ὅτι ἔθου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο; οὐκ ἐψεύσω ἀνθρώποις, ἀλλὰ τῷ Θεῷ.
5 Слы́шавъ же а҆на́нїа словеса̀ сїѧ̑, па́дъ и҆́здше: и҆ бы́сть стра́хъ вели́къ на всѣ́хъ слы́шащихъ сїѧ̑.
5 ἀκούων δὲ ὁ Ἀνανίας τοὺς λόγους τούτους πεσὼν ἐξέψυξε, καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας ταῦτα.
6 Вста́вше же ю҆́нѡши взѧ́ша є҆го̀ и҆ и҆зне́сше погребо́ша.
6 ἀναστάντες δὲ οἱ νεώτεροι συνέστειλαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες ἔθαψαν.
7 Бы́сть же ꙗ҆́кѡ трїе́мъ часѡ́мъ минꙋ́вшымъ, и҆ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀ не вѣ́дꙋщи бы́вшагѡ вни́де.
7 Ἐγένετο δὲ ὡς ὡρῶν τριῶν διάστημα καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, μὴ εἰδυῖα τὸ γεγονός, εἰσῆλθεν.
8 Ѿвѣща́ же є҆́й пе́тръ: рцы́ ми, а҆́ще на толи́цѣ село̀ ѿда́ста; Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: є҆́й, на толи́цѣ.
8 ἀπεκρίθη δὲ αὐτῇ ὁ Πέτρος· εἰπέ μοι, εἰ τοσούτου τὸ χωρίον ἀπέδοσθε; ἡ δὲ εἶπε· ναί, τοσούτου.
9 Пе́тръ же речѐ къ не́й: что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ согласи́стасѧ и҆скꙋси́ти дх҃а гдⷭ҇нѧ; сѐ, но́ги погре́бшихъ мꙋ́жа твоего̀ при две́рехъ, и҆ и҆знесꙋ́тъ тѧ̀.
9 ὁ δὲ Πέτρος εἶπε πρὸς αὐτήν· τί ὅτι συνεφωνήθη ὑμῖν πειράσαι τὸ Πνεῦμα Κυρίου; ἰδοὺ οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων τὸν ἄνδρα σου ἐπὶ τῇ θύρᾳ καὶ ἐξοίσουσί σε.
10 Паде́ же а҆́бїе пред̾ нога́ма є҆гѡ̀ и҆ и҆́здше: вше́дше же ю҆́нѡши ѡ҆брѣто́ша ю҆̀ ме́ртвꙋ и҆ и҆зне́сше погребо́ша бли́з̾ мꙋ́жа є҆ѧ̀.
10 ἔπεσε δὲ παραχρῆμα παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξέψυξεν· εἰσελθόντες δὲ οἱ νεανίσκοι εὗρον αὐτὴν νεκράν, καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες ἔθαψαν πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς.
11 И҆ бы́сть стра́хъ вели́къ на все́й цр҃кви и҆ на всѣ́хъ слы́шащихъ сїѧ̑.
11 καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος μέγας ἐφ᾽ ὅλην τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντας ταῦτα.
12 Рꙋка́ми же а҆пⷭ҇льскими бы́ша зна́мєнїѧ и҆ чꙋдеса̀ въ лю́дехъ мнѡ́га: и҆ бѧ́хꙋ є҆динодꙋ́шнѡ всѝ въ притво́рѣ соломѡ́ни:
12 Διὰ δὲ τῶν χειρῶν τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐγίνετο σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν τῷ λαῷ πολλά· καὶ ἦσαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἅπαντες ἐν τῇ στοᾷ Σολομῶντος·
13 ѿ про́чихъ же никто́же смѣ́ѧше прилѣплѧ́тисѧ и҆̀мъ, но велича́хꙋ и҆̀хъ лю́дїе.
13 τῶν δὲ λοιπῶν οὐδεὶς ἐτόλμα κολλᾶσθαι αὐτοῖς, ἀλλ᾽ ἐμεγάλυνεν αὐτοὺς ὁ λαός·
14 Па́че же прилага́хꙋсѧ вѣ́рꙋющїи гдⷭ҇еви, мно́жество мꙋже́й же и҆ же́нъ,
14 μᾶλλον δὲ προσετίθεντο πιστεύοντες τῷ Κυρίῳ πλήθη ἀνδρῶν τε καὶ γυναικῶν,
15 ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ на стѡ́гны и҆зноси́ти недꙋ̑жныѧ и҆ полага́ти на посте́лехъ и҆ на ѻ҆дрѣ́хъ, да грѧдꙋ́щꙋ петрꙋ̀ понѐ сѣ́нь є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆сѣни́тъ нѣ́коего ѿ ни́хъ.
15 ὥστε κατὰ τὰς πλατείας ἐκφέρειν τοὺς ἀσθενεῖς καὶ τιθέναι ἐπὶ κλινῶν καὶ κραβάττων, ἵνα ἐρχομένου Πέτρου κἂν ἡ σκιὰ ἐπισκιάσῃ τινὶ αὐτῶν.
16 Схожда́шесѧ же и҆ мно́жество ѿ ѡ҆кре́стныхъ градѡ́въ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, приносѧ́ще недꙋ̑жныѧ и҆ стра́ждꙋщыѧ ѿ дꙋ̑хъ нечи́стыхъ, и҆̀же и҆сцѣлѣва́хꙋсѧ всѝ.
16 συνήρχετο δὲ καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πέριξ πόλεων εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ φέροντες ἀσθενεῖς καὶ ὀχλουμένους ὑπὸ πνευμάτων ἀκαθάρτων, οἵτινες ἐθεραπεύοντο ἅπαντες.
17 Воста́въ же а҆рхїере́й и҆ всѝ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ, сꙋ́щаѧ є҆́ресь саддꙋке́йскаѧ, и҆спо́лнишасѧ за́висти,
17 Ἀναστὰς δὲ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ, ἡ οὖσα αἵρεσις τῶν Σαδδουκαίων, ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου
18 и҆ возложи́ша рꙋ́ки своѧ̑ на а҆пⷭ҇лы и҆ посла́ша и҆̀хъ въ соблюде́нїе ѻ҆́бщее.
18 καὶ ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀποστόλους, καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτοὺς ἐν τηρήσει δημοσίᾳ.
19 А҆́гг҃лъ же гдⷭ҇ень но́щїю ѿве́рзе двє́ри темни́цы, и҆зве́дъ же и҆̀хъ, речѐ:
19 ἄγγελος δὲ Κυρίου διὰ τῆς νυκτὸς ἤνοιξε τὰς θύρας τῆς φυλακῆς, ἐξαγαγών τε αὐτοὺς εἶπε·
20 и҆ди́те и҆ ста́вше глаго́лите въ це́ркви лю́демъ всѧ̑ глаго́лы жи́зни сеѧ̀.
20 πορεύεσθε, καὶ σταθέντες λαλεῖτε ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ τῷ λαῷ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τῆς ζωῆς ταύτης.
21 Слы́шавше же внидо́ша по ᲂу҆́треницѣ въ це́рковь и҆ ᲂу҆ча́хꙋ. Прише́дъ же а҆рхїере́й и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ, созва́ша собо́ръ и҆ всѧ̑ ста́рцы ѿ сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ и҆ посла́ша во ᲂу҆зи́лище, привестѝ и҆̀хъ.
21 ἀκούσαντες δὲ εἰσῆλθον ὑπὸ τὸν ὄρθρον εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν καὶ ἐδίδασκον. παραγενόμενος δὲ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ συνεκάλεσαν τὸ συνέδριον καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γερουσίαν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον ἀχθῆναι αὐτούς.
22 Слꙋги̑ же ше́дше не ѡ҆брѣто́ша и҆̀хъ въ темни́цѣ, возвра́щшежесѧ возвѣсти́ша,
22 οἱ δὲ ὑπηρέται παραγενόμενοι οὐχ εὗρον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ, ἀναστρέψαντες δὲ ἀπήγγειλαν
23 глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ темни́цꙋ ᲂу҆́бѡ ѡ҆брѣто́хомъ заключе́нꙋ со всѧ́кимъ ᲂу҆твержде́нїемъ и҆ блюсти́тєли стоѧ́щыѧ пред̾ две́рьми: ѿве́рзше же, внꙋ́трь ни є҆ди́нагѡ ѡ҆брѣто́хомъ.
23 λέγοντες ὅτι τὸ μὲν δεσμωτήριον εὕρομεν κεκλεισμένον ἐν πάσῃ ἀσφαλείᾳ καὶ τοὺς φύλακας ἑστῶτας πρὸ τῶν θυρῶν, ἀνοίξαντες δὲ ἔσω οὐδένα εὕρομεν.
24 Ꙗ҆́коже слы́шаша словеса̀ сїѧ̑ а҆рхїере́й же и҆ воево́да церко́вный и҆ первосвѧще́нницы, недоꙋмѣва́хꙋсѧ ѡ҆ ни́хъ, что̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ бꙋ́детъ сїѐ.
24 ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν τοὺς λόγους τούτους ὅ τε ἱερεὺς καὶ ὁ στρατηγὸς τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, διηπόρουν περὶ αὐτῶν τί ἂν γένοιτο τοῦτο.
25 Прише́дъ же нѣ́кто возвѣстѝ и҆̀мъ, глаго́лѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сѐ, мꙋ́жїе, и҆̀хже всади́сте въ темни́цꙋ, сꙋ́ть въ це́ркви стоѧ́ще и҆ ᲂу҆ча́ще лю́ди.
25 παραγενόμενος δέ τις ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἄνδρες, οὓς ἔθεσθε ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ, εἰσὶν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἑστῶτες καὶ διδάσκοντες τὸν λαόν.
26 Тогда̀ ше́дъ воево́да со слꙋга́ми, приведѐ и҆̀хъ не съ нꙋ́ждею, боѧ́хꙋсѧ бо люді́й, да не ка́менїемъ побїю́тъ и҆̀хъ:
26 τότε ἀπελθὼν ὁ στρατηγὸς σὺν τοῖς ὑπηρέταις ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς οὐ μετὰ βίας· ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ τὸν λαόν, ἵνα μὴ λιθασθῶσιν·
27 приве́дше же и҆̀хъ, поста́виша на со́нмищи, и҆ вопросѝ и҆̀хъ а҆рхїере́й, глаго́лѧ:
27 ἀγαγόντες δὲ αὐτοὺς ἔστησαν ἐν τῷ συνεδρίῳ. καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς
28 не запреще́нїемъ ли запрети́хомъ ва́мъ не ᲂу҆чи́ти ѡ҆ и҆́мени се́мъ; и҆ сѐ, и҆спо́лнисте і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ ᲂу҆че́нїемъ ва́шимъ и҆ хо́щете навестѝ на ны̀ кро́вь чл҃вѣ́ка сегѡ̀.
28 λέγων· οὐ παραγγελίᾳ παρηγγείλαμεν ὑμῖν μὴ διδάσκειν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ; καὶ ἰδοὺ πεπληρώκατε τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τῆς διδαχῆς ὑμῶν, καὶ βούλεσθε ἐπαγαγεῖν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς τὸ αἷμα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου.
29 Ѿвѣща́въ же пе́тръ и҆ а҆пⷭ҇ли рѣ́ша: повинова́тисѧ подоба́етъ бг҃ови па́че, не́жели человѣ́кѡмъ:
29 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Πέτρος καὶ οἱ ἀπόστολοι εἶπον· πειθαρχεῖν δεῖ Θεῷ μᾶλλον ἢ ἀνθρώποις.
30 бг҃ъ ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ воздви́же і҆и҃са, є҆го́же вы̀ ᲂу҆би́сте, повѣ́сивше на дре́вѣ:
30 ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἤγειρεν Ἰησοῦν, ὃν ὑμεῖς διεχειρίσασθε κρεμάσαντες ἐπὶ ξύλου·
31 сего̀ бг҃ъ нача́льника и҆ сп҃са возвы́си десни́цею свое́ю, да́ти покаѧ́нїе і҆и҃леви и҆ ѡ҆ставле́нїе грѣхѡ́въ:
31 τοῦτον ὁ Θεὸς ἀρχηγὸν καὶ σωτῆρα ὕψωσε τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ δοῦναι μετάνοιαν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
32 и҆ мы̀ є҆смы̀ тогѡ̀ свидѣ́телїе глагѡ́лъ си́хъ, и҆ дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й, є҆го́же дадѐ бг҃ъ повинꙋ́ющымсѧ є҆мꙋ̀.
32 καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν αὐτοῦ μάρτυρες τῶν ῥημάτων τούτων, καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα δὲ τὸ Ἅγιον ὃ ἔδωκεν ὁ Θεὸς τοῖς πειθαρχοῦσιν αὐτῷ.
33 Ѻ҆ни́ же слы́шавше распыха́хꙋсѧ и҆ совѣща́ша ᲂу҆би́ти и҆̀хъ.
33 οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες διεπρίοντο καὶ ἐβουλεύοντο ἀνελεῖν αὐτούς.
34 Воста́въ же нѣ́кїй на со́нмищи фарїсе́й, и҆́менемъ гамалїи́лъ, законоꙋчи́тель че́стенъ всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ, повелѣ̀ внѣ̀ ма́лѡ что̀ а҆пⷭ҇лѡмъ ᲂу҆стꙋпи́ти,
34 Ἀναστὰς δέ τις ἐν τῷ συνεδρίῳ Φαρισαῖος ὀνόματι Γαμαλιήλ, νομοδιδάσκαλος τίμιος παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, ἐκέλευσεν ἔξω βραχύ τι τοὺς ἀποστόλους ποιῆσαι,
35 рече́ же къ ни̑мъ: мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃льтѧне, внима́йте себѣ̀ ѡ҆ человѣ́цѣхъ си́хъ, что̀ хо́щете сотвори́ти:
35 εἶπέ τε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται, προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις τί μέλλετε πράσσειν.
36 пред̾ си́ми бо де́ньми воста̀ ѳе́ѵда, глаго́лѧ бы́ти вели́ка нѣ́коего себѐ, є҆мꙋ́же прилѣпи́шасѧ число́мъ мꙋже́й ꙗ҆́кѡ четы́реста: и҆́же ᲂу҆бїе́нъ бы́сть, и҆ всѝ, є҆ли́цы повинꙋ́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀, разыдо́шасѧ и҆ бы́ша ни во что́же:
36 πρὸ γὰρ τούτων τῶν ἡμερῶν ἀνέστη Θευδᾶς, λέγων εἶναί τινα ἑαυτόν, ᾧ προσεκλίθη ἀριθμὸς ἀνδρῶν ὡσεὶ τετρακοσίων· ὃς ἀνῃρέθη, καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ἐπείθοντο αὐτῷ διελύθησαν καὶ ἐγένοντο εἰς οὐδέν.
37 по се́мъ воста̀ і҆ꙋ́да галїле́анинъ во дни̑ написа́нїѧ и҆ ѿвлечѐ лю́ди довѡ́льны в̾слѣ́дъ себє̀: и҆ то́й поги́бе, и҆ всѝ, є҆ли́цы послꙋ́шаша є҆гѡ̀, разсы́пашасѧ:
37 μετὰ τοῦτον ἀνέστη Ἰούδας ὁ Γαλιλαῖος ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς ἀπογραφῆς καὶ ἀπέστησε λαὸν ἱκανὸν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ· κἀκεῖνος ἀπώλετο, καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ἐπείθοντο αὐτῷ διεσκορπίσθησαν.
38 и҆ нн҃ѣ, глаго́лю ва́мъ, ѿстꙋпи́те ѿ человѣ̑къ си́хъ и҆ ѡ҆ста́вите и҆̀хъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ ѿ человѣ̑къ совѣ̑тъ се́й и҆лѝ дѣ́ло сїѐ, разори́тсѧ,
38 καὶ τὰ νῦν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπόστητε ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τούτων καὶ ἐάσατε αὐτούς· ὅτι ἐὰν ᾖ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων ἡ βουλὴ αὕτη ἢ τὸ ἔργον τοῦτο, καταλυθήσεται·
39 а҆́ще ли же ѿ бг҃а є҆́сть, не мо́жете разори́ти то̀, да не ка́кѡ и҆ бг҃обо́рцы ѡ҆брѧ́щетесѧ.
39 εἰ δὲ ἐκ Θεοῦ ἐστιν, οὐ δύνασθε καταλῦσαι αὐτό, μή ποτε καὶ θεομάχοι εὑρεθῆτε.
40 Послꙋ́шаша же є҆гѡ̀, и҆ призва́вше а҆пⷭ҇лы, би́вше запрети́ша и҆̀мъ не глаго́лати ѡ҆ и҆́мени і҆и҃совѣ и҆ ѿпꙋсти́ша и҆̀хъ.
40 ἐπείσθησαν δὲ αὐτῷ, καὶ προσκαλεσάμενοι τοὺς ἀποστόλους δείραντες παρήγγειλαν μὴ λαλεῖν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἀπέλυσαν αὐτούς.
41 Ѻ҆ни́ же ᲂу҆̀бо и҆дѧ́хꙋ ра́дꙋющесѧ ѿ лица̀ собо́ра, ꙗ҆́кѡ за и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са сподо́бишасѧ безче́стїе прїѧ́ти:
41 οἱ μὲν οὖν ἐπορεύοντο χαίροντες ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ συνεδρίου, ὅτι ὑπὲρ τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ κατηξιώθησαν ἀτιμασθῆναι·
42 по всѧ̑ же дни̑ въ це́ркви и҆ въ домѣ́хъ не престаѧ́хꙋ ᲂу҆ча́ще и҆ благовѣствꙋ́юще і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
42 πᾶσάν τε ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καὶ κατ᾽ οἶκον οὐκ ἐπαύοντο διδάσκοντες καὶ εὐαγγελιζόμενοι Ἰησοῦν τὸν Χριστόν.
