Genesis 8.21-9.7 § 16

Genesis 8.21-9.7 § 16

Chapter 8

21

And the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more smite all living flesh as I have done.

καὶ ὠσφράνθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς διανοηθείς· οὐ προσθήσω ἔτι καταράσασθαι τὴν γῆν διὰ τὰ ἔργα τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὅτι ἔγκειται ἡ διάνοια τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπιμελῶς ἐπὶ τὰ πονηρὰ ἐκ νεότητος αὐτοῦ· οὐ προσθήσω οὖν ἔτι πατάξαι πᾶσαν σάρκα ζῶσαν, καθὼς ἐποίησα.

И҆ ѡ҆бонѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь воню̀ благоꙋха́нїѧ. И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ размы́сливъ: не приложꙋ̀ ктомꙋ̀ проклѧ́ти зе́млю за дѣла̀ человѣ́чєскаѧ, занѐ прилежи́тъ помышле́нїе человѣ́кꙋ прилѣ́жнѡ на ѕла̑ѧ ѿ ю҆́ности є҆гѡ̀: не приложꙋ̀ ᲂу҆̀бо ктомꙋ̀ порази́ти всѧ́кꙋю пло́ть живꙋ́щꙋю, ꙗ҆́коже сотвори́хъ:

22

All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.

πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς γῆς, σπέρμα καὶ θερισμός, ψῦχος καὶ καῦμα, θέρος καὶ ἔαρ, ἡμέραν καὶ νύκτα οὐ καταπαύσουσι.

во всѧ̑ дни̑ землѝ сѣ́ѧтва и҆ жа́тва, зима̀ и҆ зно́й, лѣ́то и҆ весна̀, де́нь и҆ но́щь не преста́нꙋтъ.

Chapter 9

1

AND God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it.

ΚΑΙ εὐλόγησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν Νῶε καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· αὐξάνεσθε καὶ πληθύνεσθε καὶ πληρώσατε τὴν γῆν καὶ κατακυριεύσατε αὐτῆς.

И҆ блгⷭ҇вѝ бг҃ъ нѡ́а и҆ сы́ны є҆гѡ̀ и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: расти́тесѧ и҆ мно́житесѧ, и҆ напо́лните зе́млю и҆ ѡ҆блада́йте є҆́ю:

2

And the dread and the fear of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea, I have placed them under your power.

καὶ ὁ τρόμος καὶ ὁ φόβος ὑμῶν ἔσται ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς, ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ κινούμενα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἰχθύας τῆς θαλάσσης· ὑπὸ χεῖρας ὑμῖν δέδωκα.

и҆ стра́хъ и҆ тре́петъ ва́шъ бꙋ́детъ на всѣ́хъ ѕвѣре́хъ земны́хъ (и҆ на всѣ́хъ скотѣ́хъ земны́хъ), на всѣ́хъ пти́цахъ небе́сныхъ и҆ на всѣ́хъ дви́жꙋщихсѧ по землѝ и҆ на всѣ́хъ ры́бахъ морски́хъ: въ рꙋ́цѣ ва́шы вда́хъ (ѧ҆̀).

3

And every reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs.

καὶ πᾶν ἑρπετόν, ὅ ἐστι ζῶν, ὑμῖν ἔσται εἰς βρῶσιν· ὡς λάχανα χόρτου δέδωκα ὑμῖν τὰ πάντα.

И҆ всѧ́кое дви́жꙋщеесѧ, є҆́же є҆́сть жи́во, ва́мъ бꙋ́детъ въ снѣ́дь: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕе́лїе травно́е да́хъ ва́мъ всѐ.

4

But flesh with blood of life ye shall not eat.

πλὴν κρέας ἐν αἵματι ψυχῆς οὐ φάγεσθε·

То́чїю мѧ́са въ кро́ви дꙋшѝ да не снѣ́сте.

5

For your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the life of man at the hand of [his] brother man.

καὶ γὰρ τὸ ὑμέτερον αἷμα τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν θηρίων ἐκζητήσω αὐτὸ καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς ἀνθρώπου ἀδελφοῦ ἐκζητήσω τὴν ψυχὴν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.

Кро́ви бо ва́шей, дꙋ́шъ ва́шихъ, ѿ рꙋкѝ всѧ́кагѡ ѕвѣ́рѧ и҆зыщꙋ̀ (є҆ѧ̀): и҆ ѿ рꙋкѝ человѣ́ка бра́та и҆зыщꙋ̀ є҆ѧ̀.

6

He that sheds man's blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man.

ὁ ἐκχέων αἷμα ἀνθρώπου, ἀντὶ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ ἐκχυθήσεται, ὅτι ἐν εἰκόνι Θεοῦ ἐποίησα τὸν ἄνθρωπον.

Пролива́ѧй кро́вь человѣ́чꙋ, въ є҆ѧ̀ мѣ́стѡ є҆гѡ̀ пролїе́тсѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ во ѡ҆́бразъ бж҃їй сотвори́хъ человѣ́ка.

7

But do ye increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it.

ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐξάνεσθε καὶ πληθύνεσθε καὶ πληρώσατε τὴν γῆν, καὶ κατακυριεύσατε αὐτῆς.

Вы́ же расти́тесѧ и҆ мно́житесѧ, и҆ напо́лните зе́млю, и҆ мно́житесѧ на не́й.

Proverbs 11.19-12.6 § 85

Proverbs 11.19-12.6 § 85

Chapter 11

19

A righteous son is born for life: but the persecution of the ungodly [ends] in death.

υἱὸς δίκαιος γεννᾶται εἰς ζωήν, διωγμὸς δὲ ἀσεβοῦς εἰς θάνατον.

Сы́нъ првⷣный ражда́етсѧ въ живо́тъ: гоне́нїе же нечести́вагѡ въ сме́рть.

20

Perverse ways are an abomination to the Lord: but all they that are blameless in their ways are acceptable to him.

βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ διεστραμμέναι ὁδοί, προσδεκτοὶ δὲ αὐτῷ πάντες ἄμωμοι ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν.

Ме́рзость гдⷭ҇еви пꙋтїѐ развраще́нни, прїѧ́тни же є҆мꙋ̀ всѝ непоро́чнїи въ пꙋте́хъ свои́хъ.

21

He that unjustly strikes hands shall not be unpunished: but he that sows righteousness he shall receive a faithful reward.

χειρὶ χεῖρας ἐμβαλὼν ἀδίκως οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται, ὁ δὲ σπείρων δικαιοσύνην λήψεται μισθὸν πιστόν.

Въ рꙋ́кꙋ рꙋ́цѣ вложи́въ непра́веднѡ, не без̾ мꙋ́ки бꙋ́детъ ѕлы́хъ: сѣ́ѧй же пра́вдꙋ прїи́метъ мздꙋ̀ вѣ́рнꙋ.

22

As an ornament in a swine’s snout, so is beauty to an ill-minded women.

ὥσπερ ἐνώτιον ἐν ρινὶ ὑός, οὕτως γυναικὶ κακόφρονι κάλλος.

Ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆серѧ́зь златы́й въ но́здрехъ свинїѝ, та́кѡ женѣ̀ ѕлоꙋ́мнѣй лѣ́пота.

23

All the desire of the righteous is good: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.

ἐπιθυμία δικαίων πᾶσα ἀγαθή, ἐλπὶς δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται.

Жела́нїе првⷣныхъ всѐ благо́е, наде́жда же нечести́выхъ поги́бнетъ.

24

There are [some] who scatter their own, and make it more: and there are [some] also who gather, [yet] have less.

εἰσὶν οἳ τὰ ἴδια σπείροντες πλείονα ποιοῦσιν, εἰσὶ δὲ καὶ οἳ συνάγοντες ἐλαττονοῦνται.

Сꙋ́ть, и҆̀же своѧ̑ сѣ́юще, мнѡ́жайшаѧ творѧ́тъ: сꙋ́ть же и҆ собира́юще чꙋжда̑ѧ, ᲂу҆малѧ́ютсѧ.

25

Every sincere soul is blessed: but a passionate man is not graceful.

ψυχὴ εὐλογουμένη πᾶσα ἁπλῆ, ἀνὴρ δὲ θυμώδης οὐκ εὐσχήμων.

Дꙋша̀ блгⷭ҇ве́нна всѧ́каѧ проста́ѧ: мꙋ́жъ ꙗ҆́рый неблагоѡбра́зенъ.

26

May he that hoards corn leave it to the nation: but blessing be on the head of him that gives [it].

ὁ συνέχων σῖτον ὑπολείποιτο αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, εὐλογίαν δὲ εἰς κεφαλὴν τοῦ μεταδιδόντος.

Оу҆держава́ѧй пшени́цꙋ ѡ҆ста́витъ ю҆̀ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ: продаѧ́й пшени́цꙋ скꙋ́пѡ, ѿ наро́да про́клѧтъ, блгⷭ҇ве́нїе же гдⷭ҇не на главѣ̀ подава́ющагѡ.

27

He that devises good [counsels] seeks good favour: but [as for] him that seeks after evil, [evil] shall overtake him.

τεκταινόμενος ἀγαθὰ ζητεῖ χάριν ἀγαθήν, ἐκζητοῦντα δὲ κακά, καταλήψεται αὐτόν.

Творѧ́й блага̑ѧ и҆́щетъ блгⷣти добры̀: и҆́щꙋщаго же ѕла̑ѧ пости́гнꙋтъ є҆го̀.

28

He that trusts in wealth shall fall; but he that helps righteous men shall rise.

ὁ πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ πλούτῳ οὗτος πεσεῖται, ὁ δὲ ἀντιλαμβανόμενος δικαίων οὗτος ἀνατελεῖ.

Надѣ́ѧйсѧ на бога́тство своѐ, се́й паде́тъ: застꙋпа́ѧй же првⷣныхъ, то́й возсїѧ́етъ.

29

He that deals not graciously with his own house shall inherit the wind; and the fool shall be servant to the wise man.

ὁ μὴ συμπεριφερόμενος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ οἴκῳ κληρονομήσει ἄνεμον, δουλεύσει δὲ ἄφρων φρονίμῳ.

Не сматрѧ́ѧй своегѡ̀ до́мꙋ наслѣ́дитъ вѣ́тры: порабо́таетъ же безꙋ́мный разꙋ́мномꙋ.

30

Out of the fruit of righteousness grows a tree of life; but the souls of transgressors are cut off before their time.

ἐκ καρποῦ δικαιοσύνης φύεται δένδρον ζωῆς, ἀφαιροῦνται δὲ ἄωροι ψυχαὶ παρανόμων.

Ѿ плода̀ пра́вды дре́во жи́зни прозѧба́етъ: ѿе́млютсѧ же безвре́меннѡ дꙋ́ши беззако́нныхъ.

31

If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

εἰ ὁ μὲν δίκαιος μόλις σώζεται, ὁ ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποὺ φανεῖται;

А҆́ще првⷣный є҆два̀ спаса́етсѧ, нечести́вый же и҆ грѣ́шный гдѣ̀ ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ;

Chapter 12

1

He that loves instruction loves sense, but he that hates reproofs is a fool.

Ο ἀγαπῶν παιδείαν, ἀγαπᾷ αἴσθησιν, ὁ δὲ μισῶν ἐλέγχους ἄφρων.

Любѧ́й наказа́нїе лю́битъ чꙋ́вство: ненави́дѧй же ѡ҆бличе́нїѧ безꙋ́менъ.

2

He that has found favour with the Lord [is made] better; but a transgressor shall be passed over in silence.

κρείσων ὁ εὑρὼν χάριν παρὰ Κυρίῳ, ἀνὴρ δὲ παράνομος παρασιωπηθήσεται.

Лꙋ́чше ѡ҆брѣты́й блгⷣть ѿ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а: мꙋ́жъ же законопрестꙋ́пенъ премолча́нъ бꙋ́детъ.

3

A man shall not prosper by wickedness; but the roots of the righteous shall not be taken up.

οὐ κατορθώσει ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἀνόμου, αἱ δὲ ῥίζαι τῶν δικαίων οὐκ ἐξαρθήσονται.

Не и҆спра́витсѧ человѣ́къ ѿ беззако́ннагѡ: корє́нїѧ же првⷣныхъ не ѿи́мꙋтсѧ.

4

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but as a worm in wood, so a bad woman destroys her husband.

γυνὴ ἀνδρεία στέφανος τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς· ὥσπερ δὲ ἐν ξύλῳ σκώληξ, οὕτως ἄνδρα ἀπόλλυσι γυνὴ κακοποιός.

Жена̀ мꙋ́жественнаѧ вѣне́цъ мꙋ́жꙋ своемꙋ̀: ꙗ҆́коже въ дре́вѣ че́рвь, та́кѡ мꙋ́жа погꙋблѧ́етъ жена̀ ѕлотво́рнаѧ.

5

The thoughts of the righteous [are true] judgments; but ungodly men devise deceits.

λογισμοὶ δικαίων κρίματα, κυβερνῶσι δὲ ἀσεβεῖς δόλους.

Мы̑сли првⷣныхъ сꙋдьбы̑: ᲂу҆правлѧ́ютъ же нечести́вїи лє́сти.

6

The words of ungodly men are crafty; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

λόγοι ἀσεβῶν δόλιοι, στόμα δὲ ὀρθῶν ρύσεται αὐτούς.

Словеса̀ нечести́выхъ льсти̑ва въ кро́вь, ᲂу҆ста́ же пра́выхъ и҆зба́вѧтъ и҆̀хъ.

10

And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan.

Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ᾿Ιακὼβ ἀπὸ τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ὅρκου καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Χαρράν.

И҆ ѿи́де і҆а́кѡвъ ѿ кла́дѧзѧ клѧ́твеннагѡ и҆ и҆́де въ харра́нъ,

11

And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took [one] of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place,

καὶ ἀπήντησε τόπῳ καὶ ἐκοιμήθῃ ἐκεῖ· ἔδυ γὰρ ὁ ἥλιος· καὶ ἔλαβεν ἀπὸ τῶν λίθων τοῦ τόπου, καὶ ἔθηκε πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ἐκείνῳ.

и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те мѣ́сто и҆ ᲂу҆́спе та́мѡ, за́йде бо со́лнце: и҆ взѧ̀ ѿ ка́менїѧ мѣ́ста (тогѡ̀) и҆ положѝ въ возгла́вїе себѣ̀, и҆ спа̀ на мѣ́стѣ ѻ҆́нѣмъ.

12

and dreamed, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it.

καὶ ἐνυπνιάσθη, καὶ ἰδοὺ κλίμαξ ἐστηριγμένη ἐν τῇ γῇ, ἧς ἡ κεφαλὴ ἀφικνεῖτο εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀνέβαινον καὶ κατέβαινον ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς.

И҆ со́нъ ви́дѣ: и҆ сѐ, лѣ́ствица ᲂу҆твержде́на на землѝ, є҆ѧ́же глава̀ досѧза́ше до небесѐ, и҆ а҆́гг҃ли бж҃їи восхожда́хꙋ и҆ низхожда́хꙋ по не́й:

13

And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of thy father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.

ὁ δὲ Κύριος ἐπεστήρικτο ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς ῾Αβραὰμ τοῦ πατρός σου, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισαάκ· μὴ φοβοῦ· ἡ γῆ, ἐφ᾿ ἧς σὺ καθεύδεις ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς, σοὶ δώσω αὐτήν, καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου.

гдⷭ҇ь же ᲂу҆твержда́шесѧ на не́й и҆ речѐ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь бг҃ъ а҆враа́ма ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆ бг҃ъ і҆саа́ка, не бо́йсѧ: землѧ̀, и҆дѣ́же ты̀ спи́ши на не́й, тебѣ̀ да́мъ ю҆̀ и҆ сѣ́мени твоемꙋ̀:

14

And thy seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.

καὶ ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς γῆς καὶ πλατυνθήσεται ἐπὶ θάλασσαν καὶ ἐπὶ λίβα καὶ ἐπὶ βορρᾶν, καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἀνατολάς, καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου.

и҆ бꙋ́детъ сѣ́мѧ твоѐ ꙗ҆́кѡ песо́къ земны́й, и҆ распространи́тсѧ на мо́ре, и҆ лі́вꙋ, и҆ сѣ́веръ, и҆ на восто́ки: и҆ благословѧ́тсѧ ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ всѧ̑ колѣ̑на зємна́ѧ и҆ ѡ҆ сѣ́мени твое́мъ:

15

And behold I am with thee to preserve thee continually in all the way wherein thou shalt go; and I will bring thee back to this land; for I will not desert thee, until I have done all that I have said to thee.

καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι μετὰ σοῦ διαφυλάσσων σε ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ πάσῃ, οὗ ἂν πορευθῇς, καὶ ἀποστρέψω σε εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην, ὅτι οὐ μή σε ἐγκαταλίπω, ἕως τοῦ ποιῆσαί με πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησά σοι.

и҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ є҆́смь съ тобо́ю, сохранѧ́ѧй тѧ̀ на всѧ́комъ пꙋтѝ, а҆́може а҆́ще по́йдеши, и҆ возвращꙋ́ тѧ въ зе́млю сїю̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆́мамъ тебѐ ѡ҆ста́вити, до́ндеже сотвори́ти мѝ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка гл҃ахъ тебѣ̀.

16

And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.

καὶ ἐξηγέρθη ᾿Ιακὼβ ἐκ τοῦ ὕπνου αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· ὅτι ἔστι Κύριος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ ᾔδειν.

И҆ воста̀ і҆а́кѡвъ ѿ сна̀ своегѡ̀ и҆ речѐ: ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆́сть гдⷭ҇ь на мѣ́стѣ се́мъ, а҆́зъ же не вѣ́дѣхъ.

17

And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

καὶ ἐφοβήθη καὶ εἶπεν· ὡς φοβερὸς ὁ τόπος οὗτος· οὐκ ἔστι τοῦτο ἀλλ᾿ ἢ οἶκος Θεοῦ, καὶ αὕτη ἡ πύλη τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.

И҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́сѧ и҆ речѐ: ꙗ҆́кѡ стра́шно мѣ́сто сїѐ: нѣ́сть сїѐ, но до́мъ бж҃їй, и҆ сїѧ̑ врата̀ нбⷭ҇наѧ.

27

And it shall come to pass from the eighth day and onward, [that] the priests shall offer your whole-burnt-offerings on the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord.

καὶ ἔσται ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς ὀγδόης καὶ ἐπέκεινα ποιήσουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου ὑμῶν. καὶ προσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς, λέγει Κύριος.

1

Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary that looks eastward; and it was shut.

ΚΑΙ ἐπέστρεψέ με κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῶν ἁγίων τῆς ἐξωτέρας τῆς βλεπούσης κατὰ ἀνατολάς, καὶ αὕτη ἦν κεκλεισμένη.

И҆ ѡ҆брати́ мѧ на пꙋ́ть вра́тъ ст҃ы́хъ внѣ́шнихъ, зрѧ́щихъ на восто́ки: и҆ сїѧ̑ бѧ́хꙋ затворє́нна.

2

And the Lord said to me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no one shall pass through it; for the Lord God of Israel shall enter by it, and it shall be shut.

καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· ἡ πύλη αὕτη κεκλεισμένη ἔσται, οὐκ ἀνοιχθήσεται, καὶ οὐδεὶς μὴ διέλθῃ δι’ αὐτῆς, ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰσελεύσεται δι’ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔσται κεκλεισμένη·

И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко мнѣ̀: сїѧ̑ врата̀ заключє́нна бꙋ́дꙋтъ и҆ не ѿве́рзꙋтсѧ, и҆ никто́же про́йдетъ и҆́ми: ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ вни́детъ и҆́ми, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ заключє́нна.

3

For the prince, he shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord; he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go forth by the way of the same.

διότι ὁ ἡγούμενος, οὗτος καθήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ τοῦ φαγεῖν ἄρτον ἐναντίον Κυρίου. κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν αἰλὰμ τῆς πύλης εἰσελεύσεται καὶ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται. -

Занѐ старѣ́йшина се́й сѧ́детъ въ ни́хъ ꙗ҆́сти хлѣ́бъ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ: по пꙋтѝ є҆ла́ма {притво́ра} вра́тъ вни́детъ и҆ по пꙋтѝ є҆гѡ̀ и҆зы́детъ.

4

And he brought me in by the way of the gate that looks northward, in front of the house: and I looked, and, behold, the house was full of the glory of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.

Καὶ εἰσήγαγέ με κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν κατέναντι τοῦ οἴκου, καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ πλήρης δόξης ὁ οἶκος τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ πίπτω ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου.

И҆ введе́ мѧ по пꙋтѝ вра́тъ ꙗ҆̀же къ сѣ́верꙋ, прѧ́мѡ хра́мꙋ: и҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, по́лнъ сла́вы до́мъ гдⷭ҇ень. И҆ падо́хъ ни́цъ на лицы̀ мое́мъ.

1

Wisdom has built a house for herself, and set up seven pillars.

Η σοφία ᾠκοδόμησεν ἑαυτῇ οἶκον καὶ ὑπήρεισε στύλους ἑπτά·

Премꙋ́дрость созда̀ себѣ̀ до́мъ и҆ ᲂу҆твердѝ столпѡ́въ се́дмь:

2

She has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine in a bowl, and prepared her table.

ἔσφαξε τὰ ἑαυτῆς θύματα, ἐκέρασεν εἰς κρατῆρα τὸν ἑαυτῆς οἶνον καὶ ἡτοιμάσατο τὴν ἑαυτῆς τράπεζαν·

закла̀ своѧ̑ же́ртвєннаѧ, и҆ растворѝ въ ча́ши свое́й вїно̀, и҆ ᲂу҆гото́ва свою̀ трапе́зꙋ:

3

She has sent forth her servants, calling with a loud proclamation to the feast, saying,

ἀπέστειλε τοὺς ἑαυτῆς δούλους συγκαλοῦσα μετὰ ὑψηλοῦ κηρύγματος ἐπὶ κρατῆρα λέγουσα·

посла̀ своѧ̑ рабы̑, созыва́ющи съ высо́кимъ проповѣ́данїемъ на ча́шꙋ, глаго́лющи:

4

Whoso is foolish, let him turn aside to me: and to them that want understanding she says,

ὅς ἐστιν ἄφρων, ἐκκλινάτω πρός με· καὶ τοῖς ἐνδεέσι φρενῶν εἶπεν·

и҆́же є҆́сть безꙋ́менъ, да ᲂу҆клони́тсѧ ко мнѣ̀.

5

Come, eat of my bread, and drink wine which I have mingled for you.

ἔλθετε φάγετε τῶν ἐμῶν ἄρτων καὶ πίετε οἶνον, ὃν ἐκέρασα ὑμῖν·

И҆ тре́бꙋющымъ ᲂу҆ма̀ речѐ: прїиди́те, ꙗ҆ди́те мо́й хлѣ́бъ и҆ пі́йте вїно̀, є҆́же раствори́хъ ва́мъ:

6

Leave folly, that ye may reign for ever; and seek wisdom, and improve understanding by knowledge.

ἀπολείπετε ἀφροσύνην, ἵνα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα βασιλεύσητε, καὶ ζητήσατε φρόνησιν, καὶ κατορθώσατε ἐν γνώσει σύνεσιν.

ѡ҆ста́вите безꙋ́мїе и҆ жи́ви бꙋ́дете, да во вѣ́ки воцарите́сѧ: и҆ взыщи́те ра́зꙋма, да поживетѐ и҆ и҆спра́вите ра́зꙋмъ въ вѣ́дѣнїи.

7

He that reproves evil [men] shall get dishonour to himself; and he that rebukes an ungodly [man] shall disgrace himself.

῾Ο παιδεύων κακοὺς λήψεται ἑαυτῷ ἀτιμίαν· ἐλέγχων δὲ τὸν ἀσεβῆ μωμήσεται ἑαυτόν.

Наказꙋ́ѧй ѕлы̑ѧ прїи́метъ себѣ̀ безче́стїе, ѡ҆блича́ѧй же нечести́ваго поро́чна сотвори́тъ себѐ (꙳ѡ҆бличє́нїѧ бо нечести́вомꙋ ра̑ны є҆мꙋ̀).

8

Rebuke not evil [men], lest they should hate thee: rebuke a wise [man], and he will love thee.

μὴ ἔλεγχε κακούς, ἵνα μὴ μισήσωσί σε· ἔλεγχε σοφόν, καὶ ἀγαπήσει σε.

Не ѡ҆блича́й ѕлы́хъ, да не возненави́дѧтъ тебѐ: ѡ҆блича́й премꙋ́дра, и҆ возлю́битъ тѧ̀.

9

Give an opportunity to a wise [man], and he will be wiser: instruct a just man, and he will receive more [instruction].

δίδου σοφῷ ἀφορμήν, καὶ σοφώτερος ἔσται· γνώριζε δικαίῳ, καὶ προσθήσει τοῦ δέχεσθαι.

Да́ждь премꙋ́дромꙋ винꙋ̀, и҆ премꙋ́дрѣйшїй бꙋ́детъ: сказꙋ́й првⷣномꙋ, и҆ приложи́тъ прїима́ти.

10

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the counsel of saints is understanding: for to know the law is [the character] of a sound mind.

ἀρχὴ σοφίας φόβος Κυρίου, καὶ βουλὴ ἁγίων σύνεσις, τὸ δὲ γνῶναι νόμον διανοίας ἐστὶν ἀγαθῆς·

Нача́ло премꙋ́дрости стра́хъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ совѣ́тъ ст҃ы́хъ ра́зꙋмъ: разꙋмѣ́ти бо зако́нъ, по́мысла є҆́сть блага́гѡ.

11

For in this way thou shalt live long, and years of thy life shall be added to thee.

τούτῳ γὰρ τῷ τρόπῳ πολὺν ζήσεις χρόνον, καὶ προστεθήσεταί σοι ἔτη ζωῆς σου.

Си́мъ бо ѡ҆́бразомъ мно́гое поживе́ши вре́мѧ, и҆ приложа́тсѧ тебѣ̀ лѣ̑та живота̀ твоегѡ̀.

Hours Isaiah 14.24-32 § 138

Isaiah 14.24-32 § 138
24

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be: and as I have purposed, so [the matter] shall remain:

τάδε λέγει Κύριος σαβαώθ· ὃν τρόπον εἴρηκα, οὕτως ἔσται, καὶ ὃν τρόπον βεβούλευμαι, οὕτως μενεῖ,

Сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ: ꙗ҆́коже гл҃ахъ, та́кѡ бꙋ́детъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́коже совѣща́хъ, та́кѡ пребꙋ́детъ,

25

[even] to destroy the Assyrians upon my land, and upon my mountains: and they shall be for trampling; and their yoke shall be taken away from them, and their glory shall be taken away from their shoulders.

τοῦ ἀπολέσαι τοὺς ᾿Ασσυρίους ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς τῆς ἐμῆς καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὀρέων μου, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς καταπάτημα, καὶ ἀφαιρεθήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν ὁ ζυγὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸ κῦδος αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν ὤμων ἀφαιρεθήσεται.

є҆́же погꙋби́ти а҆ссѷрі́анъ на землѝ мое́й и҆ на гора́хъ мои́хъ: и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ въ попра́нїе, и҆ ѿи́метсѧ ѿ ни́хъ ꙗ҆ре́мъ и҆́хъ, и҆ сла́ва {Є҆вр.: бре́мѧ.} и҆́хъ ѿ ра́менъ и҆́хъ ѿи́метсѧ.

26

This is the purpose which the Lord has purposed upon the whole earth: and this the hand that is uplifted against all the nations.

αὕτη ἡ βουλή, ἣν βεβούλευται Κύριος ἐπὶ τὴν ὅλην οἰκουμένην, καὶ αὕτη ἡ χεὶρ ἡ ὑψηλὴ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη.

Се́й совѣ́тъ, є҆го́же совѣща̀ гдⷭ҇ь на всю̀ вселе́ннꙋю, и҆ сїѧ̀ рꙋка̀ на всѧ̑ ꙗ҆зы́ки вселе́нныѧ:

27

For what the Holy God has purposed, who shall frustrate? and who shall turn back his uplifted hand?

ἃ γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ἅγιος βεβούλευται, τίς διασκεδάσει; καὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ τὴν ὑψηλὴν τίς ἀποστρέψει;

ꙗ҆̀же бо бг҃ъ ст҃ы́й совѣща̀, кто̀ разори́тъ; и҆ рꙋ́кꙋ є҆гѡ̀ высо́кꙋю кто̀ ѿврати́тъ;

28

In the year in which king Achaz died this word came.

Τοῦ ἔτους, οὗ ἀπέθανεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ῎Αχαζ, ἐγενήθη τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο.

Въ лѣ́то, въ не́же ᲂу҆́мре а҆ха́зъ ца́рь, бы́сть глаго́лъ се́й:

29

Rejoice not, all ye Philistines, because the yoke of him that smote you is broken: for out of the seed of the serpent shall come forth the young asps, and their young shall come forth flying serpents,

μὴ εὐφρανθείητε οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι πάντες, συνετρίβη γὰρ ὁ ζυγὸς τοῦ παίοντος ὑμᾶς· ἐκ γὰρ σπέρματος ὄφεως ἐξελεύσεται ἔκγονα ἀσπίδων, καὶ τὰ ἔκγονα αὐτῶν ἐξελεύσονται ὄφεις πετόμενοι

не ра́дꙋйтесѧ, всѝ и҆ноплемє́нницы, сокрꙋши́сѧ бо ꙗ҆ре́мъ бїю́щагѡ вы̀: ѿ сѣ́мене бо ѕмїи́на и҆зы́дꙋтъ и҆сча̑дїѧ а҆́спїдѡвъ, и҆ и҆сча̑дїѧ и҆́хъ и҆зы́дꙋтъ ѕмїи̑ парѧ́щїи:

30

And the poor shall be fed by him, and poor men shall rest in peace: but he shall destroy thy seed with hunger, and shall destroy thy remnant.

καὶ βοσκηθήσονται πτωχοὶ δι᾿ αὐτοῦ, πτωχοὶ δὲ ἄνθρωποι ἐπὶ εἰρήνης ἀναπαύσονται· ἀνελεῖ δὲ λιμῷ τὸ σπέρμα σου καὶ τὸ κατάλειμμά σου ἀνελεῖ.

и҆ ᲂу҆пасꙋ́тсѧ ᲂу҆бо́зїи и҆́мъ, ни́щїи же человѣ́цы въ ми́рѣ почі́ютъ: и҆ потреби́тъ гла́домъ сѣ́мѧ твоѐ, и҆ ѡ҆ста́нокъ тво́й и҆збїе́тъ.

31

Howl, ye gates of cities; let the cities be troubled and cry, [even] all the Philistines: for smoke is coming from the north, and there is no [possibility] of living.

ὀλολύξατε, πύλαι πόλεων, κεκραγέτωσαν πόλεις τεταραγμέναι, οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι πάντες, ὅτι ἀπὸ Βορρᾶ καπνὸς ἔρχεται, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι τοῦ εἶναι.

Воспла́читесѧ, врата̀ градѡ́въ, да возопїю́тъ гра́ды смѧте́ннїи, и҆ноплемє́нницы всѝ, занѐ ды́мъ ѿ сѣ́вера и҆́детъ, и҆ нѣ́сть, и҆́же пребꙋ́детъ.

32

And what shall the kings of the nations answer? That the Lord has founded Sion, and by him the poor of the people shall be saved.

καὶ τί ἀποκριθήσονται βασιλεῖς ἐθνῶν; ὅτι Κύριος ἐθεμελίωσε Σιών, καὶ δι᾿ αὐτοῦ σωθήσονται οἱ ταπεινοὶ τοῦ λαοῦ.

И҆ что̀ ѿвѣща́ютъ ца́рїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ; ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь ѡ҆снова̀ сїѡ́на, и҆ тѣ́мъ спасꙋ́тсѧ смире́ннїи люді́й є҆гѡ̀.
