2 Saturday before Nativity

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

ὁ πιστὸς ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ καὶ ἐν πολλῷ πιστός ἐστι, καὶ ὁ ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ ἄδικος καὶ ἐν πολλῷ ἄδικός ἐστιν.

[Заⷱ҇ 81] Вѣ́рный въ ма́лѣ, и҆ во мно́зѣ вѣ́ренъ є҆́сть: и҆ непра́ведный въ ма́лѣ, и҆ во мно́зѣ непра́веденъ є҆́сть.

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

εἰ οὖν ἐν τῷ ἀδίκῳ μαμωνᾷ πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε, τὸ ἀληθινὸν τίς ὑμῖν πιστεύσει;

А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо въ непра́веднѣмъ и҆мѣ́нїи вѣ́рни не бы́сте, во и҆́стиннѣмъ кто̀ ва́мъ вѣ́рꙋ и҆́метъ;

And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

καὶ εἰ ἐν τῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε, τὸ ὑμέτερον τίς ὑμῖν δώσει;

И҆ а҆́ще въ чꙋже́мъ вѣ́рни не бы́сте, ва́ше кто̀ ва́мъ да́стъ;

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

οὐδεὶς οἰκέτης δύναται δυσὶ κυρίοις δουλεύειν· ἢ γὰρ τὸν ἕνα μισήσει καὶ τὸν ἕτερον ἀγαπήσει, ἢ ἑνὸς ἀνθέξεται καὶ τοῦ ἑτέρου καταφρονήσει. οὐ δύνασθε Θεῷ δουλεύειν καὶ μαμωνᾷ.

Никі́й же ра́бъ мо́жетъ двѣма̀ господи́нома рабо́тати: и҆́бо и҆лѝ є҆ди́наго возненави́дитъ, а҆ дрꙋга́го возлю́битъ: и҆лѝ є҆ди́нагѡ держи́тсѧ, ѡ҆ дрꙋзѣ́мъ же нерадѣ́ти на́чнетъ: не мо́жете бг҃ꙋ рабо́тати и҆ мамѡ́нѣ.

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἐστε οἱ δικαιοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὁ δὲ Θεὸς γινώσκει τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν· ὅτι τὸ ἐν ἀνθρώποις ὑψηλὸν βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: [Заⷱ҇ 82] вы̀ є҆стѐ ѡ҆правда́юще себѐ пред̾ человѣ̑ки, бг҃ъ же вѣ́сть сердца̀ ва̑ша: ꙗ҆́кѡ, є҆́же є҆́сть въ человѣ́цѣхъ высоко̀, ме́рзость є҆́сть пред̾ бг҃омъ.

Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?

Ἔλεγε δέ· τίνι ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τίνι ὁμοιώσω αὐτήν;

[Заⷱ҇ 72] Гл҃аше же: комꙋ̀ подо́бно є҆́сть црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе; и҆ комꙋ̀ ᲂу҆подо́блю є҆̀;

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

ὁμοία ἐστὶ κόκκῳ σινάπεως, ὃν λαβὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔβαλεν εἰς κῆπον ἑαυτοῦ· καὶ ηὔξησε καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς δένδρον μέγα, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ.

подо́бно є҆́сть зе́рнꙋ горꙋ́шнꙋ, є҆́же прїе́мь человѣ́къ вве́рже въ вертогра́дъ сво́й: и҆ возрастѐ, и҆ бы́сть дре́во ве́лїе, и҆ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ всели́шасѧ въ вѣ́твїе є҆гѡ̀.

And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

Πάλιν εἶπε· τίνι ὁμοιώσω τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ;

Па́ки речѐ: комꙋ̀ ᲂу҆подо́блю црⷭ҇твїе бж҃їе;

It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

ὁμοία ἐστὶ ζύμῃ, ἣν λαβοῦσα γυνὴ ἔκρυψεν εἰς ἀλεύρου σάτα τρία, ἕως οὗ ἐζυμώθη ὅλον.

подо́бно є҆́сть ква́сꙋ, є҆го́же прїе́мши жена̀, скры̀ въ са́тѣхъ трїе́хъ мꙋкѝ, до́ндеже вски́се всѐ.

Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

ἀγωνίζεσθε εἰσελθεῖν διὰ τῆς στενῆς πύλης· ὅτι πολλοί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ζητήσουσιν εἰσελθεῖν καὶ οὐκ ἰσχύσουσιν.

подвиза́йтесѧ вни́ти сквозѣ̀ тѣ̑снаѧ врата̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́зи, гл҃ю ва́мъ, взы́щꙋтъ вни́ти, и҆ не возмо́гꙋтъ.

When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

ἀφ᾿ οὗ ἂν ἐγερθῇ ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης καὶ ἀποκλείσῃ τὴν θύραν, καὶ ἄρξησθε ἔξω ἑστάναι καὶ κρούειν τὴν θύραν λέγοντες· Κύριε Κύριε, ἄνοιξον ἡμῖν· καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ἐρεῖ ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς πόθεν ἐστέ.

Ѿне́лѣже воста́нетъ до́мꙋ влады́ка и҆ затвори́тъ двє́ри, и҆ на́чнете внѣ̀ стоѧ́ти и҆ ᲂу҆дарѧ́ти въ двє́ри, глаго́люще: гдⷭ҇и, гдⷭ҇и, ѿве́рзи на́мъ. И҆ ѿвѣща́въ рече́тъ ва́мъ: не вѣ́мъ ва́съ, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ є҆стѐ.

Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

τότε ἄρξεσθε λέγειν· ἐφάγομεν ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ ἐπίομεν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡμῶν ἐδίδαξας·

Тогда̀ на́чнете глаго́лати: ꙗ҆до́хомъ пред̾ тобо́ю и҆ пи́хомъ, и҆ на распꙋ́тїихъ на́шихъ ᲂу҆чи́лъ є҆сѝ.

But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

καὶ ἐρεῖ· λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς πόθεν ἐστέ· ἀπόστητε ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ πάντες οἱ ἐργάται τῆς ἀδικίας.

И҆ рече́тъ: гл҃ю ва́мъ, не вѣ́мъ ва́съ, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ є҆стѐ: ѿстꙋпи́те ѿ менє̀, всѝ дѣ́лателїе непра́вды.

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων, ὅταν ὄψησθε Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ πάντας τοὺς προφήτας ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὑμᾶς δὲ ἐκβαλλομένους ἔξω,

Тꙋ̀ бꙋ́детъ пла́чь и҆ скре́жетъ зꙋбѡ́мъ, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆́зрите а҆враа́ма и҆ і҆саа́ка и҆ і҆а́кѡва и҆ всѧ̑ прⷪ҇ро́ки во црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи, ва́съ же и҆згони́мыхъ во́нъ.

And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

καὶ ἥξουσιν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ δυσμῶν καὶ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ νότου, καὶ ἀνακλιθήσονται ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ.

И҆ прїи́дꙋтъ ѿ востѡ́къ и҆ за̑падъ и҆ сѣ́вера и҆ ю҆́га, и҆ возлѧ́гꙋтъ въ црⷭ҇твїи бж҃їи.
