1αγριππασ δε προσ τον παυλον εφη επιτρεπεται σοι υπερ σεαυτου λεγειν τοτε ο παυλοσ απελογειτο εκτεινασ την χειρα
1Then Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching forth his hand, began to make his answer.
2περι παντων ων εγκαλουμαι υπο ιουδαιων βασιλευ αγριππα ηγημαι εμαυτον μακαριον επι σου μελλων απολογεισθαι σημερον
2I 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.
3μαλιστα γνωστην οντα σε παντων των κατα ιουδαιουσ ηθων τε και ζητηματων διο δεομαι σου μακροθυμωσ ακουσαι μου
3Especially as thou knowest all, both customs and questions that are among the Jews: Wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4την μεν ουν βιωσιν μου την εκ νεοτητοσ την απ αρχησ γενομενην εν τω εθνει μου εν ιεροσολυμοισ ισασιν παντεσ οι ιουδαιοι
4And my life indeed from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem, all the Jews do know:
5προγινωσκοντεσ με ανωθεν εαν θελωσιν μαρτυρειν οτι κατα την ακριβεστατην αιρεσιν τησ ημετερασ θρησκειασ εζησα φαρισαιοσ
5Having known me from the beginning (if they will give testimony) that according to the most sure sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6και νυν επ ελπιδι τησ προσ τουσ πατερασ επαγγελιασ γενομενησ υπο του θεου εστηκα κρινομενοσ
6And now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment:
7εισ ην το δωδεκαφυλον ημων εν εκτενεια νυκτα και ημεραν λατρευον ελπιζει καταντησαι περι ησ ελπιδοσ εγκαλουμαι βασιλευ αγριππα υπο ιουδαιων
7Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews.
8τι απιστον κρινεται παρ υμιν ει ο θεοσ νεκρουσ εγειρει
8Why should it be thought a thing incredible, that God should raise the dead?
9εγω μεν ουν εδοξα εμαυτω προσ το ονομα ιησου του ναζωραιου δειν πολλα εναντια πραξαι
9And I indeed did formerly think, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10ο και εποιησα εν ιεροσολυμοισ και πολλουσ των αγιων εγω φυλακαισ κατεκλεισα την παρα των αρχιερεων εξουσιαν λαβων αναιρουμενων τε αυτων κατηνεγκα ψηφον
10Which 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.
11και κατα πασασ τασ συναγωγασ πολλακισ τιμωρων αυτουσ ηναγκαζον βλασφημειν περισσωσ τε εμμαινομενοσ αυτοισ εδιωκον εωσ και εισ τασ εξω πολεισ
11And 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.
12εν οισ και πορευομενοσ εισ την δαμασκον μετ εξουσιασ και επιτροπησ τησ παρα των αρχιερεων
12Whereupon when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest,
13ημερασ μεσησ κατα την οδον ειδον βασιλευ ουρανοθεν υπερ την λαμπροτητα του ηλιου περιλαμψαν με φωσ και τουσ συν εμοι πορευομενουσ
13At 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.
14παντων δε καταπεσοντων ημων εισ την γην ηκουσα φωνην λαλουσαν προσ με και λεγουσαν τη εβραιδι διαλεκτω σαουλ σαουλ τι με διωκεισ σκληρον σοι προσ κεντρα λακτιζειν
14And 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.
15εγω δε ειπον τισ ει κυριε ο δε ειπεν εγω ειμι ιησουσ ον συ διωκεισ
15And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16αλλα αναστηθι και στηθι επι τουσ ποδασ σου εισ τουτο γαρ ωφθην σοι προχειρισασθαι σε υπηρετην και μαρτυρα ων τε ειδεσ ων τε οφθησομαι σοι
16But 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,
17εξαιρουμενοσ σε εκ του λαου και των εθνων εισ ουσ εγω σε αποστελλω
17Delivering thee from the people, and from the nations, unto which now I send thee:
18ανοιξαι οφθαλμουσ αυτων του υποστρεψαι απο σκοτουσ εισ φωσ και τησ εξουσιασ του σατανα επι τον θεον του λαβειν αυτουσ αφεσιν αμαρτιων και κληρον εν τοισ ηγιασμενοισ πιστει τη εισ εμε
18To 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.
19οθεν βασιλευ αγριππα ουκ εγενομην απειθησ τη ουρανιω οπτασια
19Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision:
20αλλα τοισ εν δαμασκω πρωτον και ιεροσολυμοισ εισ πασαν τε την χωραν τησ ιουδαιασ και τοισ εθνεσιν απαγγελλων μετανοειν και επιστρεφειν επι τον θεον αξια τησ μετανοιασ εργα πρασσοντασ
20But 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.
21ενεκα τουτων οι ιουδαιοι με συλλαβομενοι εν τω ιερω επειρωντο διαχειρισασθαι
21For this cause the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me.
22επικουριασ ουν τυχων τησ παρα του θεου αχρι τησ ημερασ ταυτησ εστηκα μαρτυρομενοσ μικρω τε και μεγαλω ουδεν εκτοσ λεγων ων τε οι προφηται ελαλησαν μελλοντων γινεσθαι και μωυσησ
22But 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:
23ει παθητοσ ο χριστοσ ει πρωτοσ εξ αναστασεωσ νεκρων φωσ μελλει καταγγελλειν τω λαω και τοισ εθνεσιν
23That 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.
24ταυτα δε αυτου απολογουμενου ο φηστοσ μεγαλη τη φωνη εφη μαινη παυλε τα πολλα σε γραμματα εισ μανιαν περιτρεπει
24As 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.
25ο δε ου μαινομαι φησιν κρατιστε φηστε αλλα αληθειασ και σωφροσυνησ ρηματα αποφθεγγομαι
25And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness.
26επισταται γαρ περι τουτων ο βασιλευσ προσ ον και παρρησιαζομενοσ λαλω λανθανειν γαρ αυτον τι τουτων ου πειθομαι ουδεν ου γαρ εν γωνια πεπραγμενον τουτο
26For 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.
27πιστευεισ βασιλευ αγριππα τοισ προφηταισ οιδα οτι πιστευεισ
27Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou believest.
28ο δε αγριππασ προσ τον παυλον εφη εν ολιγω με πειθεισ χριστιανον γενεσθαι
28And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.
29ο δε παυλοσ ειπεν ευξαιμην αν τω θεω και εν ολιγω και εν πολλω ου μονον σε αλλα και παντασ τουσ ακουοντασ μου σημερον γενεσθαι τοιουτουσ οποιοσ καγω ειμι παρεκτοσ των δεσμων τουτων
29And 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.
30και ταυτα ειποντοσ αυτου ανεστη ο βασιλευσ και ο ηγεμων η τε βερνικη και οι συγκαθημενοι αυτοισ
30And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them.
31και αναχωρησαντεσ ελαλουν προσ αλληλουσ λεγοντεσ οτι ουδεν θανατου αξιον η δεσμων πρασσει ο ανθρωποσ ουτοσ
31And when they were gone aside, they spoke among themselves, saying: This man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bands.
32αγριππασ δε τω φηστω εφη απολελυσθαι εδυνατο ο ανθρωποσ ουτοσ ει μη επεκεκλητο καισαρα
32And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
