Matins John 20.1-10 § 63
John 20.1-10
§ 63
THE first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ ἔρχεται πρωῒ σκοτίας ἔτι οὔσης εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ βλέπει τὸν λίθον ἠρμένον ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου.
[Заⷱ҇ 63] Во є҆ди́нꙋ же ѿ сꙋббѡ́тъ марі́а магдали́на прїи́де заꙋ́тра, є҆щѐ сꙋ́щей тьмѣ̀, на гро́бъ, и҆ ви́дѣ ка́мень взѧ́тъ ѿ гро́ба:
Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
τρέχει οὖν καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς Σίμωνα Πέτρον καὶ πρὸς τὸν ἄλλον μαθητὴν ὃν ἐφίλει ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ἦραν τὸν Κύριον ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου, καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν ποῦ ἔθηκαν αὐτόν.
течѐ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆ прїи́де къ сі́мѡнꙋ петрꙋ̀ и҆ къ дрꙋго́мꙋ ᲂу҆чн҃кꙋ̀, є҆го́же люблѧ́ше і҆и҃съ, и҆ глаго́ла и҆́ма: взѧ́ша гдⷭ҇а ѿ гро́ба, и҆ не вѣ́мъ, гдѣ̀ положи́ша є҆го̀.
Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
ἐξῆλθεν οὖν ὁ Πέτρος καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς καὶ ἤρχοντο εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον.
И҆зы́де же пе́тръ и҆ дрꙋгі́й ᲂу҆чн҃къ и҆ и҆дѧ́ста ко гро́бꙋ:
So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
ἔτρεχον δὲ οἱ δύο ὁμοῦ· καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς προέδραμε τάχιον τοῦ Πέτρου καὶ ἦλθε πρῶτος εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον,
теча́ста же ѻ҆́ба вкꙋ́пѣ: и҆ дрꙋгі́й ᲂу҆чн҃къ течѐ скорѣ́е петра̀ и҆ прїи́де пре́жде ко гро́бꙋ,
And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
καὶ παρακύψας βλέπει κείμενα τὰ ὀθόνια, οὐ μέντοι εἰσῆλθεν.
и҆ прини́къ ви́дѣ ри̑зы лежа́щѧ: ѻ҆ба́че не вни́де.
Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
ἔρχεται οὖν Σίμων Πέτρος ἀκολουθῶν αὐτῷ, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον καὶ θεωρεῖ τὰ ὀθόνια κείμενα,
Прїи́де же сі́мѡнъ пе́тръ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ вни́де во гро́бъ, и҆ ви́дѣ ри̑зы (є҆ди̑ны) лежа́щѧ
And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
καὶ τὸ σουδάριον, ὃ ἦν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, οὐ μετὰ τῶν ὀθονίων κείμενον, ἀλλὰ χωρὶς ἐντετυλιγμένον εἰς ἕνα τόπον.
и҆ сꙋда́рь, и҆́же бѣ̀ на главѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, не съ ри́зами лежа́щь, но ѡ҆со́бь сви́тъ на є҆ди́нѣмъ мѣ́стѣ.
Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
τότε οὖν εἰσῆλθε καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς ὁ ἐλθὼν πρῶτος εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ εἶδε καὶ ἐπίστευσεν·
Тогда̀ ᲂу҆̀бо вни́де и҆ дрꙋгі́й ᲂу҆чн҃къ, прише́дый пре́жде ко гро́бꙋ, и҆ ви́дѣ и҆ вѣ́рова:
For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
οὐδέπω γὰρ ᾔδεισαν τὴν γραφὴν ὅτι δεῖ αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῆναι.
не ᲂу҆̀ бо вѣ́дѧхꙋ писа́нїѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ воскрⷭ҇нꙋти.
Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
Ἀπῆλθον οὖν πάλιν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς οἱ μαθηταί.
И҆до́ста же па́ки къ себѣ̀ ᲂу҆чн҃ка̑.

2 Corinthians 9:6–11
§ 188
2 Corinthians 9:6–11 § 188
Brethren, He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. So let each man give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: “He hath dispersed abroad, He hath given to the poor; His righteousness remains forever.” Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God.
Luke 8.5-15
§ 35
Luke 8.5-15 § 35
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
ἐξῆλθεν ὁ σπείρων τοῦ σπεῖραι τὸν σπόρον αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐν τῷ σπείρειν αὐτὸν ὃ μὲν ἔπεσε παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν, καὶ κατεπατήθη, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατέφαγεν αὐτό·
[Заⷱ҇ 35] и҆зы́де сѣ́ѧй сѣ́ѧти сѣ́мене своегѡ̀: и҆ є҆гда̀ сѣ́ѧше, ѻ҆́во падѐ при пꙋтѝ, и҆ попра́но бы́сть, и҆ пти́цы небє́сныѧ позоба́ша є҆̀:
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν, καὶ φυὲν ἐξηράνθη διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ἰκμάδα·
а҆ дрꙋго́е падѐ на ка́мени, и҆ прозѧ́бъ ᲂу҆́сше, занѐ не и҆мѣ́ѧше вла́ги:
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀκανθῶν, καὶ συμφυεῖσαι αἱ ἄκανθαι ἀπέπνιξαν αὐτό.
и҆ дрꙋго́е падѐ посредѣ̀ те́рнїѧ, и҆ возрастѐ те́рнїе, и҆ подавѝ є҆̀:
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀγαθήν, καὶ φυὲν ἐποίησε καρπὸν ἑκατονταπλασίονα. ταῦτα λέγων ἐφώνει· ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
дрꙋго́е же падѐ на землѝ бла́зѣ, и҆ прозѧ́бъ сотворѝ пло́дъ стори́цею. Сїѧ̑ гл҃ѧ, возгласѝ: и҆мѣ́ѧй ᲂу҆́шы слы́шати да слы́шитъ.
And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
ἐπηρώτων δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· τίς εἴη ἡ παραβολὴ αὕτη.
Вопроша́хꙋ же є҆го̀ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀, глаго́люще: что̀ є҆́сть при́тча сїѧ̀;
And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ὑμῖν δέδοται γνῶναι τὰ μυστήρια τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ, τοῖς δὲ λοιποῖς ἐν παραβολαῖς, ἵνα βλέποντες μὴ βλέπωσι καὶ ἀκούοντες μὴ συνιῶσιν.
Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: ва́мъ є҆́сть дано̀ вѣ́дати та́йны црⷭ҇твїѧ бж҃їѧ, про́чымъ же въ при́тчахъ, да ви́дѧще не ви́дѧтъ и҆ слы́шаще не разꙋмѣ́ютъ.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
ἔστι δὲ αὕτη ἡ παραβολή· ὁ σπόρος ἐστὶν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ·
Є҆́сть же сїѧ̀ при́тча: сѣ́мѧ є҆́сть сло́во бж҃їе:
Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
οἱ δὲ παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν εἰσιν οἱ ἀκούσαντες, εἶτα ἔρχεται ὁ διάβολος καὶ αἴρει τὸν λόγον ἀπὸ τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν, ἵνα μὴ πιστεύσαντες σωθῶσιν.
а҆ и҆̀же при пꙋтѝ, сꙋ́ть слы́шащїи, пото́мъ (же) прихо́дитъ дїа́волъ и҆ взе́млетъ сло́во ѿ се́рдца и҆́хъ, да не вѣ́ровавше спасꙋ́тсѧ:
They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
οἱ δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας οἳ ὅταν ἀκούσωσι, μετὰ χαρᾶς δέχονται τὸν λόγον, καὶ οὗτοι ρίζαν οὐκ ἔχουσιν, οἳ πρὸς καιρὸν πιστεύουσι καὶ ἐν καιρῷ πειρασμοῦ ἀφίστανται.
а҆ и҆̀же на ка́мени, и҆̀же є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́шатъ, съ ра́достїю прїе́млютъ сло́во: и҆ сі́и ко́рене не и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆̀же во вре́мѧ вѣ́рꙋютъ, и҆ во вре́мѧ напа́сти ѿпа́даютъ:
And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
τὸ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας πεσόν, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ ἀκούσαντες, καὶ ὑπὸ μεριμνῶν καὶ πλούτου καὶ ἡδονῶν τοῦ βίου πορευόμενοι συμπνίγονται καὶ οὐ τελεσφοροῦσι.
а҆ є҆́же въ те́рнїи па́дшее, сі́и сꙋ́ть слы́шавшїи, и҆ ѿ печа́ли и҆ бога́тства и҆ сластьмѝ жите́йскими ходѧ́ще подавлѧ́ютсѧ, и҆ не соверша́ютъ плода̀:
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
τὸ δὲ ἐν τῇ καλῇ γῇ, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἵτινες ἐν καρδίᾳ καλῇ καὶ ἀγαθῇ ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον κατέχουσι καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ἐν ὑπομονῇ.
а҆ и҆̀же на до́брѣй землѝ, сі́и сꙋ́ть, и҆̀же до́брымъ се́рдцемъ и҆ бл҃ги́мъ слы́шавше сло́во, держа́тъ и҆ пло́дъ творѧ́тъ въ терпѣ́нїи. Сїѧ̑ гл҃ѧ, возгласѝ: и҆мѣ́ѧй ᲂу҆́шы слы́шати да слы́шитъ.
