2 Royal Hours of Theophany

Be glad, thou thirsty desert: let the wilderness exult, and flower as the lily.

ΕΥΦΡΑΝΘΗΤΙ, ἔρημος διψῶσα, ἀγαλλιάσθω ἔρημος καὶ ἀνθήτω ὡς κρίνον,

Ра́дꙋйсѧ, пꙋсты́нѧ жа́ждꙋщаѧ, да весели́тсѧ пꙋсты́нѧ и҆ да цвѣте́тъ ꙗ҆́кѡ крі́нъ.

And the desert places of Jordan shall blossom and rejoice; the glory of Libanus has been given to it, and the honour of Carmel; and my people shall see the glory of the Lord, and the majesty of God.

καὶ ἐξανθήσει καὶ ὑλοχαρήσει καὶ ἀγαλλιάσεται τὰ ἔρημα τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου· καὶ ἡ δόξα τοῦ Λιβάνου ἐδόθη αὐτῇ καὶ ἡ τιμὴ τοῦ Καρμήλου, καὶ ὁ λαός μου ὄψεται τὴν δόξαν Κυρίου καὶ τὸ ὕψος τοῦ Θεοῦ.

И҆ процвѣте́тъ и҆ возвесели́тсѧ пꙋсты́нѧ і҆ѻрда́нова: и҆ сла́ва лїва́нова даде́сѧ є҆́й, и҆ че́сть карми́лова, и҆ ᲂу҆́зрѧтъ лю́дїе моѝ сла́вꙋ гдⷭ҇ню и҆ высотꙋ̀ бж҃їю.

Be strong, ye relaxed hands and palsied knees.

ἰσχύσατε, χεῖρες ἀνειμέναι καὶ γόνατα παραλελυμένα·

Оу҆крѣпи́тесѧ, рꙋ́цѣ ѡ҆сла́блєныѧ и҆ кѡлѣ́на разсла́блєнаѧ:

Comfort one another, ye fainthearted; be strong, fear not; behold, our God renders judgment, and he will render [it]; he will come and save us.

παρακαλέσατε, οἱ ὀλιγόψυχοι τῇ διανοίᾳ· ἰσχύσατε, μὴ φοβεῖσθε· ἰδοὺ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν κρίσιν ἀναταποδίδωσι καὶ ἀνταποδώσει, αὐτὸς ἥξει καὶ σώσει ἡμᾶς.

ᲂу҆тѣ́шитесѧ, малодꙋ́шнїи ᲂу҆мо́мъ, ᲂу҆крѣпи́тесѧ, не бо́йтесѧ: сѐ, бг҃ъ на́шъ сꙋ́дъ воздае́тъ и҆ возда́стъ, то́й прїи́детъ и҆ сп҃се́тъ на́съ.

Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear.

τότε ἀνοιχθήσονται ὀφθαλμοὶ τυφλῶν, καὶ ὦτα κωφῶν ἀκούσονται.

Тогда̀ ѿве́рзꙋтсѧ ѻ҆́чи слѣпы́хъ, и҆ ᲂу҆́ши глꙋхи́хъ ᲂу҆слы́шатъ.

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the stammerers shall speak plainly; for water has burst forth in the desert, and a channel [of water] in a thirsty land.

τότε ἁλεῖται ὡς ἔλαφος ὁ χωλός, τρανὴ δὲ ἔσται γλῶσσα μογιλάλων, ὅτι ἐρράγη ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ὕδωρ καὶ φάραγξ ἐν γῇ διψώσῃ·

Тогда̀ ско́читъ хромы́й ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ле́нь, и҆ ꙗ҆́сенъ бꙋ́детъ ѧ҆зы́къ гꙋгни́выхъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ прото́ржесѧ вода̀ въ пꙋсты́ни и҆ де́брь въ землѝ жа́ждꙋщей.

And the dry land shall become pools, and a fountain of water shall [be poured] into the thirsty land; there shall there be a joy of birds, ready habitations and marshes.

καὶ ἔσται ἡ ἄνυδρος εἰς ἕλη, καὶ εἰς τὴν διψῶσαν γῆν πηγὴ ὕδατος ἔσται· ἐκεῖ ἔσται εὐφροσύνη ὀρνέων, ἐπαύλεις καλάμου καὶ ἕλη.

И҆ безво́днаѧ бꙋ́детъ во є҆зе́ра, и҆ на жа́ждꙋщей землѝ и҆сто́чникъ водны́й бꙋ́детъ: та́мѡ бꙋ́детъ весе́лїе пти́цамъ, и҆ сели́тва тро́сти, и҆ лꙋ́зи.

There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.

ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁδὸς καθαρὰ καὶ ὁδὸς ἁγία κληθήσεται, καὶ οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἐκεῖ ἀκάθαρτος, οὐδὲ ἔσται ἐκεῖ ὁδὸς ἀκάθαρτος· οἱ δὲ διεσπαρμένοι πορεύσονται ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ οὐ μὴ πλανηθῶσι.

И҆ та́мѡ бꙋ́детъ пꙋ́ть чи́стъ, и҆ пꙋ́ть ст҃ъ нарече́тсѧ: и҆ не пре́йдетъ та́мѡ нечи́стый, нижѐ бꙋ́детъ та́мѡ пꙋ́ть нечи́стъ: разсѣ́ѧннїи же по́йдꙋтъ по немꙋ̀ и҆ не заблꙋ́дѧтъ.

And there shall be no lion there, neither shall any evil beast go up upon it, nor at all be found there; but the redeemed and gathered on the Lord’s behalf, shall walk in it,

καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἐκεῖ λέων, οὐδὲ τῶν πονηρῶν θηρίων οὐ μὴ ἀναβῇ ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν, οὐδὲ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐκεῖ, ἀλλὰ πορεύσονται ἐν αὐτῇ λελυτρωμένοι

И҆ не бꙋ́детъ та́мѡ льва̀, ни ѿ ѕвѣре́й ѕлы́хъ не взы́детъ на́нь, нижѐ ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ та́мѡ, но по́йдꙋтъ по немꙋ̀ и҆зба́вленнїи:

and shall return, and come to Sion with joy, and everlasting joy [shall be] over their head; for on their head [shall be] praise and exultation, and joy shall take possession of them: sorrow and pain, and groaning have fled away.

καὶ συνηγμένοι διὰ Κύριον· καὶ ἀποστραφήσονται καὶ ἥξουσιν εἰς Σιὼν μετ᾿ εὐφροσύνης, καὶ εὐφροσύνη αἰώνιος ὑπὲρ κεφαλῆς αὐτῶν· ἐπὶ γὰρ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῶν αἴνεσις καὶ ἀγαλλίαμα, καὶ εὐφροσύνη καταλήψεται αὐτούς. ἀπέδρα ὀδύνη, λύπη καὶ στεναγμός.

и҆ со́браннїи гдⷭ҇емъ ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ и҆ прїи́дꙋтъ въ сїѡ́нъ съ ра́достїю, и҆ ра́дость вѣ́чнаѧ над̾ главо́ю и҆́хъ: над̾ главо́ю бо и҆́хъ хвала̀ и҆ весе́лїе, и҆ ра́дость прїи́метъ ѧ҆̀, ѿбѣжѐ болѣ́знь и҆ печа́ль и҆ воздыха́нїе.

IN those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

Ἐν δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις παραγίνεται Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστὴς κηρύσσων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῆς Ἰουδαίας

[Заⷱ҇ 5] Во дни̑ же ѡ҆́ны прїи́де і҆ѡа́ннъ крⷭ҇ти́тель, проповѣ́даѧ въ пꙋсты́ни і҆ꙋде́йстѣй

And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

καὶ λέγων· μετανοεῖτε· ἤγγικε γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.

и҆ глаго́лѧ: пока́йтесѧ, прибли́жибосѧ црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное.

For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

οὗτος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ρηθεὶς ὑπὸ Ἡσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος· φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ.

Се́й бо є҆́сть рече́нный и҆са́їемъ прⷪ҇ро́комъ, глаго́лющимъ: гла́съ вопїю́щагѡ въ пꙋсты́ни: ᲂу҆гото́вайте пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень, пра̑вы твори́те стєзѝ є҆гѡ̀.

And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης εἶχε τὸ ἔνδυμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τριχῶν καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ, ἡ δὲ τροφὴ αὐτοῦ ἦν ἀκρίδες καὶ μέλι ἄγριον.

Са́мъ же і҆ѡа́ннъ и҆мѧ́ше ри́зꙋ свою̀ ѿ вла̑съ вельблꙋ̑ждь и҆ по́ѧсъ ᲂу҆сме́нъ ѡ҆ чре́слѣхъ свои́хъ: снѣ́дь же є҆гѡ̀ бѣ̀ прꙋ́жїе и҆ ме́дъ ди́вїй.

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,

Τότε ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἱεροσόλυμα καὶ πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία καὶ πᾶσα ἡ περίχωρος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου,

Тогда̀ и҆схожда́ше къ немꙋ̀ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, и҆ всѧ̀ і҆ꙋде́а, и҆ всѧ̀ страна̀ і҆ѻрда́нскаѧ,

And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.

и҆ креща́хꙋсѧ во і҆ѻрда́нѣ ѿ негѡ̀, и҆сповѣ́дающе грѣхѝ своѧ̑.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

ἰδὼν δὲ πολλοὺς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων ἐρχομένους ἐπὶ τὸ βάπτισμα αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν, τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς;

Ви́дѣвъ же (і҆ѡа́ннъ) мнѡ́ги фарїсє́и и҆ саддꙋкє́и грѧдꙋ́щыѧ на креще́нїе є҆гѡ̀, речѐ и҆̀мъ: рождє́нїѧ є҆хі́днѡва, кто̀ сказа̀ ва́мъ бѣжа́ти ѿ бꙋ́дꙋщагѡ гнѣ́ва;

Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

ποιήσατε οὖν καρπὸν ἄξιον τῆς μετανοίας,

сотвори́те ᲂу҆̀бо пло́дъ досто́инъ покаѧ́нїѧ,

And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

καὶ μὴ δόξητε λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, πατέρα ἔχομεν τὸν Ἀβραάμ· λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι δύναται ὁ Θεὸς ἐκ τῶν λίθων τούτων ἐγεῖραι τέκνα τῷ Ἀβραάμ.

и҆ не начина́йте глаго́лати въ себѣ̀: ѻ҆тца̀ и҆́мамы а҆враа́ма: глаго́лю бо ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мо́жетъ бг҃ъ ѿ ка́менїѧ сегѡ̀ воздви́гнꙋти ча̑да а҆враа́мꙋ:

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

ἤδη δὲ καὶ ἡ ἀξίνη πρὸς τὴν ρίζαν τῶν δένδρων κεῖται· πᾶν οὖν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται.

ᲂу҆же́ бо и҆ сѣки́ра при ко́рени дре́ва лежи́тъ: всѧ́ко ᲂу҆̀бо дре́во, є҆́же не твори́тъ плода̀ добра̀, посѣка́емо быва́етъ и҆ во ѻ҆́гнь вмета́емо:

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

ἐγὼ μὲν βαπτίζω ὑμᾶς ἐν ὕδατι εἰς μετάνοιαν· ὁ δὲ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος ἰσχυρότερός μου ἐστίν, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς τὰ ὑποδήματα βαστάσαι· αὐτὸς ὑμᾶς βαπτίσει ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ καὶ πυρί.

а҆́зъ ᲂу҆́бѡ креща́ю вы̀ водо́ю въ покаѧ́нїе: грѧды́й же по мнѣ̀ крѣ́плїй менє̀ є҆́сть, є҆мꙋ́же нѣ́смь досто́инъ сапогѝ понестѝ: то́й вы̀ крⷭ҇ти́тъ дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ и҆ ѻ҆гне́мъ:

Wash you, be clean; remove your iniquities from your souls before mine eyes; cease from your iniquities;

λούσασθε καὶ καθαροὶ γίνεσθε, ἀφέλετε τὰς πονηρίας ἀπὸ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου, παύσασθε ἀπὸ τῶν πονηριῶν ὑμῶν,

И҆змы́йтесѧ, (и҆) чи́сти бꙋ́дите, ѿими́те лꙋка̑вства ѿ дꙋ́шъ ва́шихъ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма мои́ма, преста́ните ѿ лꙋка́вствъ ва́шихъ.

learn to do well; diligently seek judgment, deliver him that is suffering wrong, plead for the orphan, and obtain justice for the widow.

μάθετε καλὸν ποιεῖν, ἐκζητήσατε κρίσιν, ῥύσασθε ἀδικούμενον, κρίνατε ὀρφανῷ καὶ δικαιώσατε χήραν·

Наꙋчи́тесѧ добро̀ твори́ти, взыщи́те сꙋда̀, и҆зба́вите ѡ҆би́димаго, сꙋди́те си́рꙋ и҆ ѡ҆правди́те вдови́цꙋ,

And come, let us reason together, saith the Lord: and though your sins be as purple, I will make them white as snow; and though they be as scarlet, I will make [them] white as wool.

καὶ δεῦτε διαλεχθῶμεν, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ἐὰν ὦσιν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ὑμῶν ὡς φοινικοῦν, ὡς χιόνα λευκανῶ, ἐὰν δὲ ὦσιν ὡς κόκκινον, ὡς ἔριον λευκανῶ.

и҆ прїиди́те, и҆ и҆стѧ́жимсѧ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь. И҆ а҆́ще бꙋ́дꙋтъ грѣсѝ ва́ши ꙗ҆́кѡ багрѧ́ное, ꙗ҆́кѡ снѣ́гъ ᲂу҆бѣлю̀: а҆́ще же бꙋ́дꙋтъ ꙗ҆́кѡ червле́ное, ꙗ҆́кѡ во́лнꙋ ᲂу҆бѣлю̀.

And if ye be willing, and hearken to me, ye shall eat the good of the land:

καὶ ἐὰν θέλητε καὶ εἰσακούσητέ μου, τὰ ἀγαθὰ τῆς γῆς φάγεσθε·

И҆ а҆́ще хо́щете и҆ послꙋ́шаете менѐ, блага̑ѧ землѝ снѣ́сте:

but if ye be not willing, nor hearken to me, a sword shall devour you: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.

ἐὰν δὲ μὴ θέλητε, μηδὲ εἰσακούσητέ μου, μάχαιρα ὑμᾶς κατέδεται· τὸ γὰρ στόμα Κυρίου ἐλάλησε ταῦτα.

а҆́ще же не хо́щете, нижѐ послꙋ́шаете менѐ, ме́чь вы̀ поѧ́стъ: ᲂу҆ста́ бо гдⷭ҇нѧ гл҃аша сїѧ̑.

THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ.

[Заⷱ҇ 1] Зача́ло є҆ѵⷢ҇лїа і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, сн҃а бж҃їѧ,

As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Ὡς γέγραπται ἐν τοῖς προφήταις, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου ἔμπροσθέν σου·

ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано во прⷪ҇ро́цѣхъ: сѐ, а҆́зъ посыла́ю а҆́гг҃ла моего̀ пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ, и҆́же ᲂу҆гото́витъ пꙋ́ть тво́й пред̾ тобо́ю.

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ,

Гла́съ вопїю́щагѡ въ пꙋсты́ни: ᲂу҆гото́вайте пꙋ́ть гдⷭ҇ень, пра̑вы твори́те стєзѝ є҆гѡ̀.

John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης βαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.

Бы́сть і҆ѡа́ннъ крестѧ́й въ пꙋсты́ни и҆ проповѣ́даѧ кр҃ще́нїе покаѧ́нїѧ во ѿпꙋще́нїе грѣхѡ́въ.

And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία χώρα καὶ οἱ Ἱεροσολυμῖται, καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο πάντες ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῷ ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.

И҆ и҆схожда́ше къ немꙋ̀ всѧ̀ і҆ꙋде́йскаѧ страна̀ и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́млѧне: и҆ креща́хꙋсѧ всѝ во і҆ѻрда́нѣ рѣцѣ̀ ѿ негѡ̀, и҆сповѣ́дающе грѣхѝ своѧ̑.

And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

ἦν δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐσθίων ἀκρίδας καὶ μέλι ἄγριον.

Бѣ́ же і҆ѡа́ннъ ѡ҆болче́нъ власы̑ вельблꙋ̑жди, и҆ по́ѧсъ ᲂу҆сме́нъ ѡ҆ чре́слѣхъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ꙗ҆ды́й а҆крі̑ды и҆ ме́дъ ди́вїй.

And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

καὶ ἐκήρυσσε λέγων· ἔρχεται ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου ὀπίσω μου, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς κύψας λῦσαι τὸν ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ.

И҆ проповѣ́даше, глаго́лѧ: грѧде́тъ крѣ́плїй менє̀ в̾слѣ́дъ менє̀, є҆мꙋ́же нѣ́смь досто́инъ прекло́ньсѧ разрѣши́ти реме́нь сапѡ́гъ є҆гѡ̀:

I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

ἐγὼ μὲν ἐβάπτισα ὑμᾶς ἐν ὕδατι, αὐτὸς δὲ βαπτίσει ὑμᾶς ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ.

а҆́зъ ᲂу҆́бѡ крести́хъ вы̀ водо́ю: то́й же крⷭ҇ти́тъ вы̀ дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ.

Draw ye therefore water with joy out of the wells of salvation.

καὶ ἀντλήσατε ὕδωρ μετ᾿ εὐφροσύνης ἐκ τῶν πηγῶν τοῦ σωτηρίου.

И҆ почерпи́те во́дꙋ со весе́лїемъ ѿ и҆стѡ́чникъ спасе́нїѧ.

And in that day thou shalt say, sing to the Lord, call aloud upon his name, proclaim his glorious [deeds] among the Gentiles; make mention that his name is exalted.

καὶ ἐρεῖς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· ὑμνεῖτε Κύριον, βοᾶτε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τὰ ἔνδοξα αὐτοῦ, μιμνήσκεσθε, ὅτι ὑψώθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.

И҆ рече́ши въ де́нь ѻ҆́ный: хвали́те гдⷭ҇а, воспо́йте и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀, возвѣсти́те во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ сла̑внаѧ є҆гѡ̀, помина́йте, ꙗ҆́кѡ вознесе́сѧ и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀.

Sing praise to the name of the Lord; for he has done great [things]: declare this in all the earth.

ὑμνήσατε τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, ὅτι ὑψηλὰ ἐποίησεν· ἀναγγείλατε ταῦτα ἐν πάση τῇ γῇ.

Хвали́те и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не, ꙗ҆́кѡ высѡ́каѧ сотворѝ: возвѣсти́те сїѧ̑ по все́й землѝ.

Exalt and rejoice, ye that dwell in Sion: for the Holy One of Israel is exalted in the midst of her.

ἀγαλλιᾶσθε καὶ εὐφραίνεσθε, οἱ κατοικοῦντες Σιών, ὅτι ὑψώθη ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.

Весели́тесѧ и҆ ра́дꙋйтесѧ, живꙋ́щїи въ сїѡ́нѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вознесе́сѧ ст҃ы́й і҆и҃левъ посредѣ̀ тебє̀.

And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲτ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη ὑπὸ Ἰωάννου εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην.

[Заⷱ҇ 2] И҆ бы́сть во ѻ҆́нѣхъ дне́хъ, прїи́де і҆и҃съ ѿ назаре́та галїле́йскагѡ и҆ крⷭ҇ти́сѧ ѿ і҆ѡа́нна во і҆ѻрда́нѣ.

And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

καὶ εὐθέως ἀναβαίνων ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος εἶδε σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα ὡς περιστερὰν καταβαῖνον ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν·

И҆ а҆́бїе восходѧ̀ ѿ воды̀, ви́дѣ разводѧ̑щасѧ небеса̀ и҆ дх҃а ꙗ҆́кѡ го́лꙋбѧ, сходѧ́ща на́нь.

And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

καὶ φωνὴ ἐγένετο ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν· σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν σοὶ ηὐδόκησα.

И҆ гла́съ бы́сть съ небесѐ: ты̀ є҆сѝ сн҃ъ мо́й возлю́бленный, ѡ҆ не́мже бл҃говоли́хъ.

Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I succored thee: and I have formed thee, and given thee for a covenant of the nations, to establish the earth, and to cause to inherit the desert heritages:

οὕτως λέγει Κύριος· καιρῷ δεκτῷ ἐπήκουσά σου καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σωτηρίας ἐβοήθησά σοι καὶ ἔπλασά σε καὶ ἔδωκά σε εἰς διαθήκην ἐθνῶν τοῦ καταστῆσαι τὴν γῆν καὶ κληρονομῆσαι κληρονομίας ἐρήμους,

Та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: во вре́мѧ прїѧ́тно послꙋ́шахъ тебѐ и҆ въ де́нь спⷭ҇нїѧ помого́хъ тѝ, и҆ сотвори́хъ тѧ̀ и҆ да́хъ тѧ̀ въ завѣ́тъ вѣ́чный ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ, є҆́же ᲂу҆стро́ити зе́млю и҆ наслѣ́дити наслѣ̑дїѧ пꙋсты́ни,

saying to them that are in bonds, Go forth; and [bidding] them that are in darkness shew themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths [shall be] their pasture.

λέγοντα τοῖς ἐν δεσμοῖς· ἐξέλθετε, καὶ τοῖς ἐν τῷ σκότει· ἀνακαλυφθῆναι. ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς βοσκηθήσονται, καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς τρίβοις ἡ νομὴ αὐτῶν·

гл҃юща сꙋ́щымъ во ᲂу҆́захъ: и҆зыди́те, и҆ сꙋ́щымъ во тьмѣ̀: ѿкры́йтесѧ. На всѣ́хъ пꙋте́хъ пасти́сѧ бꙋ́дꙋтъ, и҆ на всѣ́хъ стезѧ́хъ па́жить и҆́хъ:

They shall not hunger, neither shall they thirst; neither shall the heat nor the sun smite them; but he that has mercy on them shall comfort [them], and by fountains of waters shall he lead them.

οὐ πεινάσουσιν οὐδὲ διψήσουσιν, οὐδὲ πατάξει αὐτοὺς καύσων, οὐδὲ ὁ ἥλιος, ἀλλ᾿ ὁ ἐλεῶν αὐτοὺς παρακαλέσει καὶ διὰ πηγῶν ὑδάτων ἄξει αὐτούς·

не вза́лчꙋтъ, нижѐ вжа́ждꙋтъ, нижѐ порази́тъ и҆̀хъ зно́й, нижѐ со́лнце, но ми́лꙋѧй и҆̀хъ ᲂу҆тѣ́шитъ и҆̀хъ и҆ сквозѣ̀ и҆сто́чники водны̑ѧ проведе́тъ и҆̀хъ.

And I will make every mountain a way, and every path a pasture to them.

καὶ θήσω πᾶν ὄρος εἰς ὁδὸν καὶ πᾶσαν τρίβον εἰς βόσκημα αὐτοῖς.

И҆ положꙋ̀ всѧ́кꙋ го́рꙋ въ пꙋ́ть и҆ всѧ́кꙋ стезю̀ въ па́ствꙋ и҆̀мъ.

Behold, these shall come from far: [and] these from the north and the west, and others from the land of the Persians.

ἰδοὺ οὗτοι πόρρωθεν ἔρχονται, οὗτοι ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ οὗτοι ἀπὸ θαλάσσης, ἄλλοι δὲ ἐκ γῆς Περσῶν.

Сѐ, сі́и и҆здале́ча прїи́дꙋтъ, сі́и ѿ сѣ́вера и҆ ѿ мо́рѧ, и҆ні́и же ѿ землѝ пе́рсскїѧ.

Rejoice, ye heavens; and let the earth be glad: let the mountains break forth [with] joy; for the Lord has had mercy on his people, and has comforted the lowly ones of his people.

εὐφραίνεσθαι, οὐρανοί, καὶ ἀγαλλιάσθω, ἡ γῆ, ρηξάτωσαν τὰ ὄρη εὐφροσύνην, ὅτι ἠλέησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ταπεινοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ παρεκάλεσεν. -

Ра́дꙋйтесѧ, небеса̀, и҆ весели́сѧ, землѐ, да ѿры́гнꙋтъ го́ры весе́лїе и҆ хо́лми пра́вдꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ поми́лова бг҃ъ лю́ди своѧ̑ и҆ смирє́нныѧ люді́й свои́хъ ᲂу҆тѣ́ши.

But Sion said, The Lord has forsaken me, and, The Lord has forgotten me.

Εἶπε δὲ Σιών· ἐγκατέλιπέ με Κύριος, καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἐπελάθετό μου.

Рече́ же сїѡ́нъ: ѡ҆ста́ви мѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ бг҃ъ забы́ мѧ.

Will a woman forget her child, so as not to have compassion upon the offspring of her womb? but if a woman should even forget these, yet I will not forget thee, saith the Lord.

μὴ ἐπιλήσεται γυνὴ τοῦ παιδίου αὐτῆς τοῦ μὴ ἐλεῆσαι τὰ ἔκγονα τῆς κοιλίας αὐτῆς; εἰ δὲ καὶ ταῦτα ἐπιλάθοιτο γυνή, ἀλλ᾿ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἐπιλήσομαί σου, εἶπε Κύριος.

Є҆да̀ забꙋ́детъ жена̀ ѻ҆троча̀ своѐ, є҆́же не поми́ловати и҆сча̑дїѧ чре́ва своегѡ̀; а҆́ще же и҆ забꙋ́детъ си́хъ жена̀, но а҆́зъ не забꙋ́дꙋ тебѐ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

Τότε παραγίνεται ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰορδάνην πρὸς τὸν Ἰωάννην τοῦ βαπτισθῆναι ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

[Заⷱ҇ 6] Тогда̀ прихо́дитъ і҆и҃съ ѿ галїле́и на і҆ѻрда́нъ ко і҆ѡа́ннꙋ крⷭ҇ти́тисѧ ѿ негѡ̀.

But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

ὁ δὲ Ἰωάννης διεκώλυεν αὐτὸν λέγων· ἐγὼ χρείαν ἔχω ὑπὸ σοῦ βαπτισθῆναι, καὶ σὺ ἔρχῃ πρός με;

І҆ѡа́ннъ же возбранѧ́ше є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: а҆́зъ тре́бꙋю тобо́ю крⷭ҇ти́тисѧ, и҆ ты́ ли грѧде́ши ко мнѣ̀;

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

καὶ βαπτισθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνέβη εὐθὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνεῴχθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ οὐρανοί, καὶ εἶδε τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ καταβαῖνον ὡσεὶ περιστερὰν καὶ ἐρχόμενον ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν·

И҆ крⷭ҇ти́всѧ і҆и҃съ взы́де а҆́бїе ѿ воды̀: и҆ сѐ, ѿверзо́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀ небеса̀, и҆ ви́дѣ дх҃а бж҃їѧ сходѧ́ща ꙗ҆́кѡ го́лꙋбѧ и҆ грѧдꙋ́ща на него̀.

And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν λέγουσα· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν ᾧ εὐδόκησα.

И҆ сѐ, гла́съ съ небесѐ гл҃ѧ: се́й є҆́сть сн҃ъ мо́й возлю́бленный, ѡ҆ не́мже бл҃говоли́хъ.
