Matins Luke 24.12-35 § 113

Luke 24.12-35 § 113
12

Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ἀναστὰς ἔδραμεν ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ παρακύψας βλέπει τὰ ὀθόνια κείμενα μόνα, καὶ ἀπῆλθε πρὸς ἑαυτὸν θαυμάζων τὸ γεγονός.

[Заⷱ҇ 113] Пе́тръ же воста́въ течѐ ко гро́бꙋ и҆ прини́къ ви́дѣ ри̑зы є҆ди̑ны лежа́щѧ: и҆ ѿи́де, въ себѣ̀ дивѧ́сѧ бы́вшемꙋ.

13

And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

Καὶ ἰδοὺ δύο ἐξ αὐτῶν ἦσαν πορευόμενοι ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ εἰς κώμην ἀπέχουσαν σταδίους ἑξήκοντα ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλήμ, ᾗ ὄνομα Ἐμμαούς.

И҆ сѐ, два̀ ѿ ни́хъ бѣ́ста и҆дꙋ̑ща въ то́йже де́нь въ ве́сь ѿстоѧ́щꙋ ста́дїй шестьдесѧ́тъ ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, є҆́йже и҆́мѧ є҆ммаꙋ́съ:

14

And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

καὶ αὐτοὶ ὡμίλουν πρὸς ἀλλήλους περὶ πάντων τῶν συμβεβηκότων τούτων.

и҆ та̑ бесѣ́доваста къ себѣ̀ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ си́хъ приклю́чшихсѧ.

15

And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ὁμιλεῖν αὐτοὺς καὶ συζητεῖν καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐγγίσας συνεπορεύετο αὐτοῖς·

И҆ бы́сть бесѣ́дꙋющема и҆́ма и҆ совопроша́ющемасѧ, и҆ са́мъ і҆и҃съ прибли́живсѧ и҆дѧ́ше съ ни́ма:

16

But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν ἐκρατοῦντο τοῦ μὴ ἐπιγνῶναι αὐτόν.

ѻ҆́чи же є҆ю̀ держа́стѣсѧ, да є҆гѡ̀ не позна́ета.

17

And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς· τίνες οἱ λόγοι οὗτοι οὓς ἀντιβάλλετε πρὸς ἀλλήλους περιπατοῦντες καί ἐστε σκυθρωποί;

Рече́ же къ ни́ма: что̀ сꙋ́ть словеса̀ сїѧ̑, ѡ҆ ни́хже стѧза́етасѧ къ себѣ̀ и҆дꙋ̑ща, и҆ є҆ста̀ дрѧ̑хла;

18

And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ εἷς, ᾧ ὄνομα Κλεόπας, εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· σὺ μόνος παροικεῖς ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ οὐκ ἔγνως τὰ γενόμενα ἐν αὐτῇ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις;

Ѿвѣща́въ же є҆ди́нъ, є҆мꙋ́же и҆́мѧ клео́па, речѐ къ немꙋ̀: ты́ ли є҆ди́нъ пришле́цъ є҆сѝ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, и҆ не ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣлъ є҆сѝ бы́вшихъ въ не́мъ во дни̑ сїѧ̑;

19

And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ποῖα; οἱ δὲ εἶπον αὐτῷ· τὰ περὶ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου, ὃς ἐγένετο ἀνὴρ προφήτης δυνατὸς ἐν ἔργῳ καὶ λόγῳ ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ,

И҆ речѐ и҆́ма: кі́ихъ; Ѡ҆́на же рѣ́ста є҆мꙋ̀: ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ і҆и҃сѣ назарѧни́нѣ, и҆́же бы́сть мꙋ́жъ прⷪ҇ро́къ, си́ленъ дѣ́ломъ и҆ сло́вомъ пред̾ бг҃омъ и҆ всѣ́ми людьмѝ:

20

And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

ὅπως τε παρέδωκαν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ἡμῶν εἰς κρῖμα θανάτου καὶ ἐσταύρωσαν αὐτόν.

ка́кѡ преда́ша є҆го̀ а҆рхїере́є и҆ кнѧ̑зи на́ши на ѡ҆сꙋжде́нїе сме́рти и҆ распѧ́ша є҆го̀:

21

But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

ἡμεῖς δὲ ἠλπίζομεν ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ μέλλων λυτροῦσθαι τὸν Ἰσραήλ· ἀλλά γε σὺν πᾶσι τούτοις τρίτην ταύτην ἡμέραν ἄγει σήμερον ἀφ᾿ οὗ ταῦτα ἐγένετο.

мы́ же надѣ́ѧхомсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ се́й є҆́сть хотѧ̀ и҆зба́вити і҆и҃лѧ: но и҆ над̾ всѣ́ми си́ми, тре́тїй се́й де́нь є҆́сть дне́сь, ѿне́лиже сїѧ̑ бы́ша:

22

Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

ἀλλὰ καὶ γυναῖκές τινες ἐξ ἡμῶν ἐξέστησαν ἡμᾶς γενόμεναι ὄρθριαι ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον,

но и҆ жєны̀ нѣ̑кїѧ ѿ на́съ ᲂу҆жаси́ша ны̀, бы́вшыѧ ра́нѡ ᲂу҆ гро́ба:

23

And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

καὶ μὴ εὑροῦσαι τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἦλθον λέγουσαι καὶ ὀπτασίαν ἀγγέλων ἑωρακέναι, οἳ λέγουσιν αὐτὸν ζῆν.

и҆ не ѡ҆брѣ́тшѧ тѣлесѐ є҆гѡ̀, прїидо́ша, глаго́лющѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ ꙗ҆вле́нїе а҆́гг҃лъ ви́дѣша, и҆̀же глаго́лютъ є҆го̀ жи́ва:

24

And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

καὶ ἀπῆλθόν τινες τῶν σὺν ἡμῖν ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ εὗρον οὕτω καθὼς καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες εἶπον, αὐτὸν δὲ οὐκ εἶδον.

и҆ и҆до́ша нѣ́цыи ѿ на́съ ко гро́бꙋ и҆ ѡ҆брѣто́ша та́кѡ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ жєны̀ рѣ́ша: самагѡ́ же не ви́дѣша.

25

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

καὶ αὐτὸς εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ὦ ἀνόητοι καὶ βραδεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ τοῦ πιστεύειν ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οἷς ἐλάλησαν οἱ προφῆται·

И҆ то́й речѐ къ ни́ма: ѽ, несмы́слєннаѧ и҆ кѡ́снаѧ се́рдцемъ, є҆́же вѣ́ровати ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же глаго́лаша прⷪ҇ро́цы:

26

Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

οὐχὶ ταῦτα ἔδει παθεῖν τὸν Χριστὸν καὶ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ;

не сїѧ̑ ли подоба́ше пострада́ти хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀ и҆ вни́ти въ сла́вꙋ свою̀;

27

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

καὶ ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ Μωϋσέως καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν προφητῶν διηρμήνευεν αὐτοῖς ἐν πάσαις ταῖς γραφαῖς τὰ περὶ ἑαυτοῦ.

И҆ наче́нъ ѿ мѡѷсе́а и҆ ѿ всѣ́хъ прⷪ҇рѡ́къ, сказа́ше и҆́ма ѿ всѣ́хъ писа́нїй ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ не́мъ.

28

And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

Καὶ ἤγγισαν εἰς τὴν κώμην οὗ ἐπορεύοντο, καὶ αὐτὸς προσεποιεῖτο πορρωτέρω πορεύεσθαι·

И҆ прибли́жишасѧ въ ве́сь, въ ню́же и҆дѧ́ста: и҆ то́й творѧ́шесѧ далеча́йше и҆тѝ:

29

But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

καὶ παρεβιάσαντο αὐτὸν λέγοντες· μεῖνον μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν, ὅτι πρὸς ἑσπέραν ἐστὶ καὶ κέκλικεν ἡ ἡμέρα. καὶ εἰσῆλθε τοῦ μεῖναι σὺν αὐτοῖς.

и҆ нꙋ́ждаста є҆го̀, глагѡ́люща: ѡ҆блѧ́зи съ на́ма, ꙗ҆́кѡ къ ве́черꙋ є҆́сть, и҆ приклони́лсѧ є҆́сть де́нь. И҆ вни́де съ ни́ма ѡ҆блещѝ.

30

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κατακλιθῆναι αὐτὸν μετ᾿ αὐτῶν λαβὼν τὸν ἄρτον εὐλόγησε, καὶ κλάσας ἐπεδίδου αὐτοῖς.

И҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ возлежѐ съ ни́ма, (и҆) прїи́мъ хлѣ́бъ блгⷭ҇вѝ, и҆ преломи́въ даѧ́ше и҆́ма:

31

And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

αὐτῶν δὲ διηνοίχθησαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί, καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν αὐτόν· καὶ αὐτὸς ἄφαντος ἐγένετο ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν.

ѻ҆́нѣма же ѿверзо́стѣсѧ ѻ҆́чи, и҆ позна́ста є҆го̀: и҆ то́й неви́димь бы́сть и҆́ма.

32

And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

καὶ εἶπον πρὸς ἀλλήλους· οὐχὶ ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν καιομένη ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν, ὡς ἐλάλει ἡμῖν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ὡς διήνοιγεν ἡμῖν τὰς γραφάς;

И҆ реко́ста къ себѣ̀: не се́рдце ли на́ю горѧ̀ бѣ̀ въ на́ю, є҆гда̀ гл҃аше на́ма на пꙋтѝ и҆ є҆гда̀ ска́зоваше на́ма писа̑нїѧ;

33

And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

καὶ ἀναστάντες αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ εὗρον συνηθροισμένους τοὺς ἕνδεκα καὶ τοὺς σὺν αὐτοῖς,

И҆ воста̑вша въ то́й ча́съ, возврати́стасѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ и҆ ѡ҆брѣто́ста совокꙋ́пленыхъ є҆динона́десѧте и҆ и҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ съ ни́ми,

34

Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

λέγοντας ὅτι ἠγέρθη ὁ Κύριος ὄντως καὶ ὤφθη Σίμωνι.

глаго́лющихъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вои́стиннꙋ воста̀ гдⷭ҇ь и҆ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ сі́мѡнꙋ.

35

And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐξηγοῦντο τὰ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ὡς ἐγνώσθη αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου.

И҆ та̑ повѣ́даста, ꙗ҆̀же бы́ша на пꙋтѝ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ позна́сѧ и҆́ма въ преломле́нїи хлѣ́ба.

Colossians 3:4–11 (Forefathers) § 257

Forefathers

Brethren, when Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Therefore mortify your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry: for of these things the wrath of God is coming on the children of disobedience, in which you also once walked when you lived in them. But now you must also put away all anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, [and] filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scýthian, bond nor free, but Christ is all, and in all.

16

Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἄνθρωπός τις ἐποίησε δεῖπνον μέγα καὶ ἐκάλεσε πολλούς·

[Заⷱ҇ 76] Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: человѣ́къ нѣ́кїй сотворѝ ве́черю ве́лїю и҆ зва̀ мнѡ́ги:

17

And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ τῇ ὥρᾳ τοῦ δείπνου εἰπεῖν τοῖς κεκλημένοις· ἔρχεσθε, ὅτι ἤδη ἕτοιμά ἐστι πάντα.

и҆ посла̀ раба̀ своего̀ въ го́дъ ве́чери рещѝ зва̑ннымъ: грѧди́те, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆жѐ готѡ́ва сꙋ́ть всѧ̑.

18

And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

καὶ ἤρξαντο ἀπὸ μιᾶς παραιτεῖσθαι πάντες. ὁ πρῶτος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀγρὸν ἠγόρασα, καὶ ἔχω ἀνάγκην ἐξελθεῖν καὶ ἰδεῖν αὐτόν· ἐρωτῶ σε, ἔχε με παρῃτημένον.

И҆ нача́ша вкꙋ́пѣ ѿрица́тисѧ всѝ. Пе́рвый речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: село̀ кꙋпи́хъ и҆ и҆́мамъ нꙋ́ждꙋ и҆зы́ти и҆ ви́дѣти є҆̀: молю́тисѧ, и҆мѣ́й мѧ̀ ѿрече́на.

19

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

καὶ ἕτερος εἶπε· ζεύγη βοῶν ἠγόρασα πέντε, καὶ πορεύομαι δοκιμάσαι αὐτά· ἐρωτῶ σε, ἔχε με παρῃτημένον.

И҆ дрꙋгі́й речѐ: сꙋпрꙋ̑гъ волѡ́въ кꙋпи́хъ пѧ́ть и҆ грѧдꙋ̀ и҆скꙋси́ти и҆̀хъ: молю́ тѧ, и҆мѣ́й мѧ̀ ѿрече́на.

20

And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

καὶ ἕτερος εἶπε· γυναῖκα ἔγημα, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο οὐ δύναμαι ἐλθεῖν.

И҆ дрꙋгі́й речѐ: женꙋ̀ поѧ́хъ и҆ сегѡ̀ ра́ди не могꙋ̀ прїитѝ.

21

So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

καὶ παραγενόμενος ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἀπήγγειλε τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτοῦ ταῦτα. τότε ὀργισθεὶς ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης εἶπε τῷ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ· ἔξελθε ταχέως εἰς τὰς πλατείας καὶ ρύμας τῆς πόλεως, καὶ τοὺς πτωχοὺς καὶ ἀναπήρους καὶ χωλοὺς καὶ τυφλοὺς εἰσάγαγε ὧδε.

И҆ прише́дъ ра́бъ то́й повѣ́да господи́нꙋ своемꙋ̀ сїѧ̑. Тогда̀ разгнѣ́вавсѧ до́мꙋ влады́ка, речѐ рабꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀: и҆зы́ди ско́рѡ на распꙋ̑тїѧ и҆ стѡ́гны гра́да, и҆ ни́щыѧ и҆ бѣ̑дныѧ и҆ слѣпы̑ѧ и҆ хрѡмы́ѧ введѝ сѣ́мѡ.

22

And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ δοῦλος· κύριε, γέγονεν ὡς ἐπέταξας, καὶ ἔτι τόπος ἐστί.

И҆ речѐ ра́бъ: го́споди, бы́сть ꙗ҆́коже повелѣ́лъ є҆сѝ, и҆ є҆щѐ мѣ́сто є҆́сть.

23

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ κύριος πρὸς τὸν δοῦλον· ἔξελθε εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς καὶ φραγμοὺς καὶ ἀνάγκασον εἰσελθεῖν, ἵνα γεμισθῇ ὁ οἶκος μου.

И҆ речѐ господи́нъ къ рабꙋ̀: и҆зы́ди на пꙋти̑ и҆ халꙋ̑ги, и҆ ᲂу҆бѣдѝ вни́ти, да напо́лнитсѧ до́мъ мо́й:

24

For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων τῶν κεκλημένων γεύσεταί μου τοῦ δείπνου.

глаго́лю бо ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ни є҆ди́нъ мꙋже́й тѣ́хъ зва́нныхъ вкꙋ́ситъ моеѧ̀ ве́чери: мно́зи бо сꙋ́ть зва́ни, ма́лѡ же и҆збра́нныхъ.
