GREEK BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ο δε Αγριππας ειπε προς τον Παυλον. Εχεις την αδειαν να ομιλησης υπερ σεαυτου. Τοτε ο Παυλος εκτεινας την χειρα, απελογειτο?1 Then Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching forth his hand, began to make his answer.
2 Μακαριον νομιζω εμαυτον, βασιλευ Αγριππα, μελλων να απολογηθω ενωπιον σου σημερον περι παντων εις οσα εγκαλουμαι υπο των Ιουδαιων,2 I think myself happy, O king Agrippa, that I am to answer for myself this day before thee, touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews.
3 μαλιστα επειδη γνωριζεις παντα τα παρα τοις Ιουδαιοις εθιμα και ζητηματα? οθεν δεομαι σου να με ακουσης μετα μακροθυμιας.3 Especially as thou knowest all, both customs and questions that are among the Jews: Wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4 Την εκ νεοτητος λοιπον ζωην μου, την οποιαν απ' αρχης εζησα μεταξυ του εθνους μου εν Ιεροσολυμοις, εξευρουσι παντες οι Ιουδαιοι,4 And my life indeed from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem, all the Jews do know:
5 επειδη με γνωριζουσιν εξ αρχης, εαν θελωσι να μαρτυρησωσιν, οτι κατα την ακριβεστατην αιρεσιν της θρησκειας ημων εζησα Φαρισαιος.5 Having known me from the beginning (if they will give testimony) that according to the most sure sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 Και τωρα παρισταμαι κρινομενος δια την ελπιδα της επαγγελιας της γενομενης υπο του Θεου προς τους πατερας ημων,6 And now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment:
7 εις την οποιαν το δωδεκαφυλον ημων γενος, λατρευον εκτενως τον Θεον νυκτα και ημεραν, ελπιζει να καταντηση? περι ταυτης της ελπιδος εγκαλουμαι, βασιλευ Αγριππα, υπο των Ιουδαιων.7 Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews.
8 Τι απιστευτον κρινεται εις εσας, οτι ο Θεος ανιστα νεκρους;8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible, that God should raise the dead?
9 Εγω μεν εστοχασθην κατ' εμαυτον οτι επρεπε να πραξω πολλα εναντια εις το ονομα του Ιησου του Ναζωραιου?9 And I indeed did formerly think, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 το οποιον και επραξα εν Ιεροσολυμοις, και πολλους των αγιων εγω κατεκλεισα εις φυλακας, λαβων την εξουσιαν παρα των αρχιερεων, και οτε εφονευοντο εδωκα ψηφον κατ' αυτων.10 Which also I did at Jerusalem, and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority of the chief priests: and when they were put to death, I brought the sentence.
11 Και εν πασαις ταις συναγωγαις πολλακις τιμωρων αυτους ηναγκαζον να βλασφημωσι, και καθ' υπερβολην μαινομενος εναντιον αυτων κατεδιωκον εως και εις τας εξω πολεις.11 And oftentimes punishing them, in every synagogue, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being yet more mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.
12 Εν τουτοις δε, οτε ηρχομην εις την Δαμασκον μετ' εξουσιας και επιτροπης της παρα των αρχιερεων,12 Whereupon when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest,
13 εν τω μεσω της ημερας ειδον καθ' οδον, βασιλευ, φως ουρανοθεν υπερβαινον την λαμπροτητα του ηλιου, το οποιον ελαμψε περι εμε και τους οδοιπορουντας μετ' εμου?13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me, and them that were in company with me.
14 και ενω κατεπεσομεν παντες εις την γην, ηκουσα φωνην λαλουσαν προς με και λεγουσαν εις την Εβραικην διαλεκτον? Σαουλ Σαουλ, τι με διωκεις; σκληρον σοι ειναι να λακτιζης προς κεντρα.14 And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
15 Εγω δε ειπον? Τις εισαι, Κυριε; Και εκεινος ειπεν? Εγω ειμαι ο Ιησους, τον οποιον συ διωκεις.15 And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 Αλλα σηκωθητι και στηθι επι τους ποδας σου? επειδη δια τουτο εφανην εις σε, δια να σε καταστησω υπηρετην και μαρτυρα και οσων ειδες και περι οσων θελω φανερωθη εις σε,16 But rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister, and a witness of those things which thou hast seen, and of those things wherein I will appear to thee,
17 εκλεγων σε εκ του λαου και των εθνων, εις τα οποια τωρα σε αποστελλω17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the nations, unto which now I send thee:
18 δια να ανοιξης τους οφθαλμους αυτων, ωστε να επιστρεψωσιν απο του σκοτους εις το φως και απο της εξουσιας του Σατανα προς τον Θεον, δια να λαβωσιν αφεσιν αμαρτιων και κληρονομιαν μεταξυ των ηγιασμενων δια της εις εμε πιστεως.18 To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is in me.
19 Οθεν, βασιλευ Αγριππα, δεν εγεινα απειθης εις την ουρανιον οπτασιαν,19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision:
20 αλλ' εκηρυττον πρωτον εις τους εν Δαμασκω και Ιεροσολυμοις και εις πασαν την γην της Ιουδαιας, και επειτα εις τα εθνη, να μετανοωσι και να επιστρεφωσιν εις τον Θεον, πραττοντες εργα αξια της μετανοιας.20 But to them first that are at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance, and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance.
21 Δια ταυτα οι Ιουδαιοι συλλαβοντες με εν τω ιερω, επεχειρουν να με φονευσωσιν.21 For this cause the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me.
22 Αξιωθεις ομως της βοηθειας της παρα του Θεου, ισταμαι εως της ημερας ταυτης μαρτυρων προς μικρον τε και μεγαλον, μη λεγων μηδεν εκτος των οσα ελαλησαν οι προφηται και ο Μωυσης οτι εμελλον να γεινωσιν,22 But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those which the prophets, and Moses did say should come to pass:
23 οτι ο Χριστος εμελλε να παθη, οτι πρωτος αναστας εκ νεκρων μελλει να κηρυξη φως εις τον λαον και εις τα εθνη.23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light to the people, and to the Gentiles.
24 Ενω δε αυτος απελογειτο ταυτα, ο Φηστος ειπε με μεγαλην φωνην? Μαινεσαι, Παυλε, τα πολλα γραμματα σε καταφερουσιν εις μανιαν.24 As he spoke these things, and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad.
25 Ο δε, Δεν μαινομαι, ειπε, κρατιστε Φηστε, αλλα προφερω λογους αληθειας και νοος υγιαινοντος.25 And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness.
26 Διοτι εχει γνωσιν περι τουτων ο βασιλευς, προς τον οποιον και λαλω μετα παρρησιας? επειδη ειμαι πεπεισμενος οτι δεν λανθανει αυτον ουδεν τουτων, διοτι τουτο δεν ειναι πεπραγμενον εν γωνια.26 For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him. For neither was any of these things done in a corner.
27 Πιστευεις, βασιλευ Αγριππα, εις τους προφητας; εξευρω οτι πιστευεις.27 Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou believest.
28 Και ο Αγριππας ειπε προς τον Παυλον? Παρ' ολιγον με πειθεις να γεινω Χριστιανος.28 And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.
29 Και ο Παυλος ειπεν? Ηθελον ευχεσθαι προς τον Θεον, ουχι μονον συ, αλλα και παντες οι σημερον ακουοντες με, να γεινωσι και παρ' ολιγον και παρα πολυ τοιουτοι οποιος και εγω ειμαι, παρεκτος των δεσμων τουτων.29 And Paul said: I would to God, that both in a little and in much, not only thou, but also all that hear me, this day, should become such as I also am, except these bands.
30 Και αφου αυτος ειπε ταυτα, εσηκωθη ο βασιλευς και ο ηγεμων και η Βερνικη και οι συγκαθημενοι μετ' αυτων,30 And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them.
31 και αναχωρησαντες ελαλουν προς αλληλους, λεγοντες οτι ουδεν αξιον θανατου η δεσμων πραττει ο ανθρωπος ουτος.31 And when they were gone aside, they spoke among themselves, saying: This man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bands.
32 Ο δε Αγριππας ειπε προς τον Φηστον? Ο ανθρωπος ουτος ηδυνατο να απολυθη, εαν δεν ειχεν επικαλεσθη τον Καισαρα.32 And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
