Matins John 20.1-10 § 63

John 20.1-10 § 63
1

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:

2

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.

3

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:

4

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,

5

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.

6

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

7

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.

8

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:

9

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.

10

Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

Ἀπῆλθον οὖν πάλιν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς οἱ μαθηταί.

И҆до́ста же па́ки къ себѣ̀ ᲂу҆чн҃ка̑.

2 Timothy 4:5–8 (Sunday before Theophany) § 298

Sunday before Theophany

My son Timothy, be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, will give to me on that day, and not to me only, but also unto all them that have loved His appearing.

Mark 1.1-8 (Sunday before Theophany) § 1

Sunday before Theophany

1

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,

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.

7

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:

8

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.
