Деяния 26
Bulgarian Bible
26 Тогава Агрипа рече на Павла: Позволява ти се да говориш за себе си. И така, Павел простря ръка и почна да говори в своя защита:
2 Честит се считам, царю Агрипо, задето пред тебе ще се защитя днес относно всичко, за което ме обвиняват юдеите,
3 а най-вече защото си вещ във всичките обреди и разисквания между юдеите; затова ти се моля да ме изслушаш с търпение.
4 Какъв, прочее, беше Моя живот още от младини, това всичките юдеи знаят, понеже се прекара отначало между народа ми в Ерусалим.
5 Защото ме познават от начало, (ако искаха да засвидетелствуват), че според най-строгото учение на нашето вероизповедание живях фарисей,
6 И сега стоя пред съда понеже имам надежда на обещанието, което Бог е дал на бащите ни,
7 до изпълнението на, което нашите дванадесет племена се надяват да достигнат, като служат на Бога усърдно нощя и деня. 3а тая надежда, царю [Агрипо], ме обвиняват юдеите!
8 Защото да се мисли между вас нещо не за вярване, че Бог възкресява мъртвите?
9 И аз си мислех, че трябваше да върша много неща против името на Исуса Назарянина;
10 което и върших в Ерусалим, понеже затварях в тъмница мнозина от светиите, като се снабдих с власт от първосвещениците, и за убиването им давах глас против тях.
11 И като ги мъчех много пъти във всичките синагоги стараех се да ги накарам да хулят; и в чрезмерната си ярост против тях гонех ги даже и по чуждите градове.
12 По която работа когато пътувах за Дамаск с власт и поръка о т първосвещениците,
13 по пладне, царю, видях на пътя светлина от небето, която надминаваше слънчевия блясък, и осия мене и тия, които пътуваха с мене,
14 И като паднахме всинца на земята, чух глас, който ми казваше на еврейски, Савле, Савле, защо ме гониш? Мъчно ти е да риташ срещу остен.
15 И аз рекох, Кой си ти, Господи? А Господ рече, Аз съм Исус, когото ти гониш.
16 Но стани и се изправи на нозете си; понеже за туй ти се явих, да те назнача служител и свидетел на това, че си ме видял, и на онова, което ще ти открия,
17 като те избавям от юдейския народ и от езичниците, между които те пращам,
18 да им отвориш очите, та да се обърнат от тъмнината към светлината, и от властта на Сатана към Бога, и да приемат прощение на греховете си и наследство между осветените, чрез вяра в мене.
19 Затова, царю Агрипо, не бях непокорен на небесното видение.
20 но проповядвах първом на юдеите в Дамаск, в Ерусалим, и в цялата юдейска земя, а после и на езичниците, да се покайват и да се обръщат към Бога, като вършат дела съответствени на покаянието си,
21 По тая причина юдеите ме уловиха в храма и се опитаха да ме убият.
22 Но с помощта, която получих от Бога, стоя до тоя ден т а свидетелствувам и пред скромен и пред високопоставен, без да говоря нищо друго освен това, което пророците и Моисей са говорили, че щеше да бъде,
23 сиреч, че Христос трябваше да пострада, и че той, като възкръсне пръв от мъртвите, щеше да проповядва светлина и на юдейския народ и на езичниците.
24 Когато той така се защищаваше, Фест, извика със силен глас: Полудял си, Павле; голямата ти ученост те докарва до лудост.
25 А Павел рече: Не съм полудял, честити Фесте, но от здрав ум изговарям истинни думи,
26 Защото царят, комуто и говоря дързостно, знае за това понеже съм убеден, че нищо от това не е скрито от него, защото то не е станало в някой ъгъл.
27 Царю Агрипо, вярваш ли пророците? Зная, че ги вярваш.
28 А Агрипа рече на Павла: Без малко ме убеждаваш да стана Християнин;
29 А Павел рече: Молил се бях Богу щото било с малко, било с много, не само ти но и всички, които ме слушат днес, да станат такива, какъвто съм аз, освен тия окови.
30 Тогава царят стана, с управителя и Верникия и седящите с тях.
31 И като се оттеглиха настрана говореха помежду си, казвайки: Тоя човек не върши нищо достойно за смърт или окови.
32 А Агрипа рече на Феста: Тоя човек можеше да се пусне ако не беше се отнесъл до Кесаря.
Acts 26
New International Version
26 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.”(A)
So Paul motioned with his hand(B) and began his defense: 2 “King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you(C) today as I make my defense against all the accusations of the Jews,(D) 3 and especially so because you are well acquainted with all the Jewish customs(E) and controversies.(F) Therefore, I beg you to listen to me patiently.
4 “The Jewish people all know the way I have lived ever since I was a child,(G) from the beginning of my life in my own country, and also in Jerusalem. 5 They have known me for a long time(H) and can testify, if they are willing, that I conformed to the strictest sect(I) of our religion, living as a Pharisee.(J) 6 And now it is because of my hope(K) in what God has promised our ancestors(L) that I am on trial today. 7 This is the promise our twelve tribes(M) are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night.(N) King Agrippa, it is because of this hope that these Jews are accusing me.(O) 8 Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?(P)
9 “I too was convinced(Q) that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose(R) the name of Jesus of Nazareth.(S) 10 And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the Lord’s people(T) in prison,(U) and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.(V) 11 Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished,(W) and I tried to force them to blaspheme. I was so obsessed with persecuting them that I even hunted them down in foreign cities.
12 “On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 13 About noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. 14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice(X) saying to me in Aramaic,[a](Y) ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
15 “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’
“ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. 16 ‘Now get up and stand on your feet.(Z) I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me.(AA) 17 I will rescue you(AB) from your own people and from the Gentiles.(AC) I am sending you to them 18 to open their eyes(AD) and turn them from darkness to light,(AE) and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins(AF) and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’(AG)
19 “So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient(AH) to the vision from heaven. 20 First to those in Damascus,(AI) then to those in Jerusalem(AJ) and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles,(AK) I preached that they should repent(AL) and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.(AM) 21 That is why some Jews seized me(AN) in the temple courts and tried to kill me.(AO) 22 But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen(AP)— 23 that the Messiah would suffer(AQ) and, as the first to rise from the dead,(AR) would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles.”(AS)
24 At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defense. “You are out of your mind,(AT) Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning(AU) is driving you insane.”
25 “I am not insane, most excellent(AV) Festus,” Paul replied. “What I am saying is true and reasonable. 26 The king is familiar with these things,(AW) and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”(AX)
29 Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.”(AY)
30 The king rose, and with him the governor and Bernice(AZ) and those sitting with them. 31 After they left the room, they began saying to one another, “This man is not doing anything that deserves death or imprisonment.”(BA)
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free(BB) if he had not appealed to Caesar.”(BC)

Defensa de Pablo ante Agripa
26 Entonces Agripa le dijo a Pablo: «Puedes hablar en tu defensa.» Pablo hizo un ademán con la mano, e inició su defensa:
2 «Rey Agripa, con mucho gusto presentaré ante ti mi defensa de las acusaciones que me hacen los judíos, 3 especialmente porque tú conoces las costumbres y las cuestiones que se debaten entre los judíos. Yo te ruego que me escuches con paciencia.
Vida anterior de Pablo
4 »Todos los judíos saben cómo he vivido desde mi niñez y juventud, lo mismo en Jerusalén que entre mi pueblo. 5 Ellos saben también, y lo pueden atestiguar, que desde el principio he vivido según las normas de los fariseos, que es el grupo más riguroso de nuestra religión.(A) 6 ¡Y ahora me juzgan por mi esperanza en la promesa que Dios les hizo a nuestros padres! 7 Se trata de la promesa cuyo cumplimiento nuestras doce tribus esperan alcanzar; por eso día y noche sirven constantemente a Dios. ¡Y es por tener esta esperanza, rey Agripa, por lo que me acusan los judíos! 8 ¿Acaso a ustedes les resulta increíble que Dios resucite a los muertos?
Pablo el perseguidor
9 »Reconozco haber creído que era mi deber hacer cualquier cosa en contra del nombre de Jesús de Nazaret. 10 Y eso mismo hice en Jerusalén: con la autoridad que me dieron los principales sacerdotes, puse en la cárcel a muchos de esos santos, y hasta llegué a aprobar su muerte. 11 En las sinagogas, muchas veces los castigué y los forcé a blasfemar. Tan furioso estaba yo contra ellos, que los perseguí aun en las ciudades extranjeras.(B)
Pablo relata su conversión(C)
12 »Con amplios poderes en mi mano, y comisionado por los principales sacerdotes, iba yo una vez hacia Damasco; 13 y de pronto, rey Agripa, a eso del mediodía, una luz del cielo, más brillante que el resplandor del sol, nos rodeó en el camino a mí y a mis acompañantes. 14 Todos rodamos por tierra. Y entonces oí una voz que me hablaba en arameo, y me decía: “Saulo, Saulo, ¿por qué me persigues? Dura cosa te es dar de coces contra el aguijón.” 15 Yo pregunté: “¿Quién eres, Señor?” Y el Señor me dijo: “Yo soy Jesús, a quien tú persigues. 16 Ponte de pie, que me he aparecido a ti porque tú vas a ser ministro y testigo de lo que has visto, y de otras que aún te voy a mostrar. 17 Yo te libraré de tu pueblo y de los no judíos, y quiero que vayas a ellos 18 para que les abras los ojos y se conviertan de las tinieblas a la luz, y del poder de Satanás al poder de Dios; para que por la fe en mí, reciban el perdón de sus pecados y la herencia de los que han sido santificados.”
Pablo obedece a la visión
19 »Por eso, rey Agripa, no desobedecí esa visión celestial, 20 sino que comenzando por los que viven en Damasco(D) y en Jerusalén,(E) y siguiendo por los que viven en Judea, sin pasar por alto a los no judíos, les anuncié que debían arrepentirse y volverse a Dios, y demostrar con sus hechos que realmente se habían arrepentido. 21 ¡Y por esto los judíos me aprehendieron en el templo y trataron de matarme! 22 Pero Dios vino en mi ayuda. Por eso hasta hoy no dejo de dar mi testimonio a grandes y pequeños. Y no digo nada que no hayan dicho ya los profetas y Moisés. 23 Por ejemplo, que el Cristo tenía que padecer, y que sería el primero en resucitar de los muertos, para anunciar la luz al pueblo de Israel y a las naciones.»(F)
Pablo insta a Agripa a que crea
24 Esto decía Pablo en su defensa, cuando Festo gritó a voz en cuello: «¡Estás loco, Pablo! ¡Las muchas letras te han vuelto loco!» 25 Pero Pablo respondió: «No estoy loco, excelentísimo Festo. Lo que estoy diciendo es la verdad, y tiene sentido. 26 El rey también lo sabe, y por eso hablo con él de esto sin ningún temor. Estoy seguro que él no ignora nada de esto, porque no lo hemos discutido en un rincón. 27 Tú, rey Agripa, ¿crees en lo que dicen los profetas? ¡Yo sé que sí lo crees!» 28 Agripa le respondió: «¿Con tan poco pretendes hacerme cristiano?» 29 Y Pablo dijo: «Pues Dios quiera que, con poco o con mucho, no sólo tú sino también todos los que hoy me escuchan lleguen a ser como yo, ¡pero sin estas cadenas!»
30 El rey se puso de pie, lo mismo que el gobernador y Berenice y los que estaban sentados con ellos, 31 y todos ellos se retiraron aparte y comentaron entre ellos: «Este hombre no ha hecho nada que merezca la prisión ni la pena de muerte.» 32 Por su parte, Agripa le dijo a Festo: «Se le podría poner en libertad, si no hubiera apelado al emperador.»
Acts 26
King James Version
26 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:
7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
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 which journeyed with me.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
