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 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 6.31-36 § 26

Luke 6.31-36 § 26

31

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

καὶ καθὼς θέλετε ἵνα ποιῶσιν ὑμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε αὐτοῖς ὁμοίως.

[Заⷱ҇ 26] И҆ ꙗ҆́коже хо́щете да творѧ́тъ ва́мъ человѣ́цы, и҆ вы̀ твори́те и҆̀мъ та́кожде.

32

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.

καὶ εἰ ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτοὺς ἀγαπῶσι.

И҆ а҆́ще лю́бите лю́бѧщыѧ вы̀, ка́ѧ ва́мъ благода́ть є҆́сть; и҆́бо и҆ грѣ̑шницы лю́бѧщыѧ и҆̀хъ лю́бѧтъ.

33

And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

καὶ ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιῆτε τοὺς ἀγαθοποιοῦντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσι.

И҆ а҆́ще благотворитѐ благотворѧ́щымъ ва́мъ, ка́ѧ ва́мъ благода́ть є҆́сть; и҆́бо и҆ грѣ̑шницы то́жде творѧ́тъ.

34

And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

καὶ ἐὰν δανείζητε παρ᾿ ὧν ἐλπίζετε ἀπολαβεῖν, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; καὶ γὰρ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἁμαρτωλοῖς δανείζουσιν ἵνα ἀπολάβωσι τὰ ἴσα.

И҆ а҆́ще взаи́мъ даетѐ, ѿ ни́хже ча́ете воспрїѧ́ти, ка́ѧ ва́мъ благода́ть є҆́сть, и҆́бо и҆ грѣ̑шницы грѣ́шникѡмъ взаи́мъ дава́ютъ, да воспрїи́мꙋтъ ра̑внаѧ.

35

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

πλὴν ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν καὶ ἀγαθοποιεῖτε καὶ δανείζετε μηδὲν ἀπελπίζοντες, καὶ ἔσται ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολύς, καὶ ἔσεσθε υἱοὶ ὑψίστου, ὅτι αὐτὸς χρηστός ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀχαρίστους καὶ πονηρούς.

Ѻ҆ба́че люби́те врагѝ ва́шѧ, и҆ благотвори́те, и҆ взаи́мъ да́йте, ничесѡ́же ча́юще: и҆ бꙋ́детъ мзда̀ ва́ша мно́га, и҆ бꙋ́дете сы́нове вы́шнѧгѡ: ꙗ҆́кѡ то́й бл҃гъ є҆́сть на безблагода̑тныѧ {неблагода̑рныѧ} и҆ ѕлы̑ѧ.

36

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Γίνεσθε οὖν οἰκτίρμονες, καθὼς καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν οἰκτίρμων ἐστί.

Бꙋ́дите ᲂу҆̀бо милосе́рди, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ млⷭ҇рдъ є҆́сть.
