Matins Luke 24.1-12 § 112
Luke 24.1-12
§ 112
NOW upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
Τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων ὄρθρου βαθέος ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὸ μνῆμα φέρουσαι ἃ ἡτοίμασαν ἀρώματα, καί τινες σὺν αὐταῖς.
[Заⷱ҇ 112] Во є҆ди́нꙋ же ѿ сꙋббѡ́тъ ѕѣлѡ̀ ра́нѡ прїидо́ша на гро́бъ, носѧ́щѧ ꙗ҆̀же ᲂу҆гото́ваша а҆рѡма́ты: и҆ дрꙋгі̑ѧ съ ни́ми:
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
εὗρον δὲ τὸν λίθον ἀποκεκυλισμένον ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου,
ѡ҆брѣто́ша же ка́мень ѿвале́нъ ѿ гро́ба,
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
καὶ εἰσελθοῦσαι οὐχ εὗρον τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ.
и҆ вше́дшѧ не ѡ҆брѣто́ша тѣлесѐ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са.
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ διαπορεῖσθαι αὐτὰς περὶ τούτου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες δύο ἐπέστησαν αὐταῖς ἐν ἐσθήσεσιν ἀστραπτούσαις.
И҆ бы́сть не домышлѧ́ющымсѧ и҆̀мъ ѡ҆ се́мъ, и҆ сѐ, мꙋ̑жа два̀ ста́ста пред̾ ни́ми въ ри́захъ блеща́щихсѧ.
And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
ἐμφόβων δὲ γενομένων αὐτῶν καὶ κλινουσῶν τὸ πρόσωπον εἰς τὴν γῆν εἶπον πρὸς αὐτάς· τί ζητεῖτε τὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τῶν νεκρῶν;
Пристра̑шнымъ же бы́вшымъ и҆̀мъ и҆ покло́ньшымъ ли́ца на зе́млю, реко́ста къ ни̑мъ: что̀ и҆́щете жива́го съ ме́ртвыми;
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε, ἀλλ᾿ ἠγέρθη· μνήσθητε ὡς ἐλάλησεν ὑμῖν ἔτι ὢν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ,
нѣ́сть здѣ̀, но воста̀: помѧни́те, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃а ва́мъ, є҆щѐ сы́й въ галїле́и,
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
λέγων ὅτι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδοθῆναι εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ σταυρωθῆναι, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναστῆναι.
гл҃ѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ сн҃ꙋ чл҃вѣ́ческомꙋ пре́данꙋ бы́ти въ рꙋ́цѣ человѣ̑къ грѣ̑шникъ, и҆ пропѧ́тꙋ бы́ти, и҆ въ тре́тїй де́нь воскрⷭ҇нꙋти.
And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
καὶ ὑποστρέψασαι ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου ἀπήγγειλαν ταῦτα πάντα τοῖς ἕνδεκα καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς λοιποῖς.
и҆ возвра́щшѧсѧ ѿ гро́ба, возвѣсти́ша всѧ̑ сїѧ̑ є҆диномꙋна́десѧте и҆ всѣ̑мъ про́чымъ.
It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
ἦσαν δὲ ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ Μαρία καὶ Ἰωάννα καὶ Μαρία Ἰακώβου καὶ οἱ λοιπαὶ σὺν αὐταῖς, αἳ ἔλεγον πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους ταῦτα.
Бѧ́ше же магдали́на марі́а и҆ і҆ѡа́нна и҆ марі́а і҆а́кѡвлѧ, и҆ про́чыѧ съ ни́ми, ꙗ҆̀же глаго́лахꙋ ко а҆пⷭ҇лѡмъ сїѧ̑.
And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
καὶ ἐφάνησαν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ λῆρος τὰ ρήματα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἠπίστουν αὐταῖς.
И҆ ꙗ҆ви́шасѧ пред̾ ни́ми ꙗ҆́кѡ лжа̀ глаго́лы и҆́хъ, и҆ не вѣ́ровахꙋ и҆̀мъ.
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.

Ephesians 5:8–19
§ 229
Ephesians 5:8–19 § 229
Brethren, walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness, and truth), proving what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord …
Luke 17.12-19
§ 85
Luke 17.12-19 § 85
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
καὶ εἰσερχομένου αὐτοῦ εἴς τινα κώμην ἀπήντησαν αὐτῷ δέκα λεπροὶ ἄνδρες, οἳ ἔστησαν πόρρωθεν,
[Заⷱ҇ 85] Входѧ́щꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀ въ нѣ́кꙋю ве́сь, срѣто́ша є҆го̀ де́сѧть прокаже́нныхъ мꙋже́й, и҆̀же ста́ша и҆здале́ча:
And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
καὶ αὐτοὶ ἦραν φωνὴν λέγοντες· Ἰησοῦ ἐπιστάτα, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.
и҆ ті́и вознесо́ша гла́съ, глаго́люще: і҆и҃се наста́вниче, поми́лꙋй ны̀.
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
καὶ ἰδὼν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πορευθέντες ἐπιδείξατε ἑαυτοὺς τοῖς ἱερεῦσι. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ὑπάγειν αὐτοὺς ἐκαθαρίσθησαν.
И҆ ви́дѣвъ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ше́дше покажи́тесѧ свѧще́нникѡмъ. И҆ бы́сть и҆дꙋ́щымъ и҆̀мъ, ѡ҆чи́стишасѧ.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
εἷς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν, ἰδὼν ὅτι ἰάθη, ὑπέστρεψε μετὰ φωνῆς μεγάλης δοξάζων τὸν Θεόν,
Є҆ди́нъ же ѿ ни́хъ, ви́дѣвъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆сцѣлѣ̀, возврати́сѧ, со гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ сла́вѧ бг҃а,
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ εὐχαριστῶν αὐτῷ· καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν Σαμαρείτης.
и҆ падѐ ни́цъ при ногꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, хвалꙋ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ воздаѧ̀: и҆ то́й бѣ̀ самарѧни́нъ.
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· οὐχὶ οἱ δέκα ἐκαθαρίσθησαν; οἱ δὲ ἐννέα ποῦ;
Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆и҃съ речѐ: не де́сѧть ли ѡ҆чи́стишасѧ; да де́вѧть гдѣ̀;
There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
οὐχ εὑρέθησαν ὑποστρέψαντες δοῦναι δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ εἰ μὴ ὁ ἀλλογενὴς οὗτος;
ка́кѡ не ѡ҆брѣто́шасѧ возвра́щшесѧ да́ти сла́вꙋ бг҃ꙋ, то́кмѡ и҆ноплеме́нникъ се́й;
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀναστὰς πορεύου· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε.
И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: воста́въ и҆дѝ: вѣ́ра твоѧ̀ сп҃се́ тѧ.
