Matins Mark 16.1-8 § 70

Mark 16.1-8 § 70
1

AND when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

Καὶ διαγενομένου τοῦ σαββάτου Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου καὶ Σαλώμη ἠγόρασαν ἀρώματα ἵνα ἐλθοῦσαι ἀλείψωσιν αὐτόν.

[Заⷱ҇ 70] И҆ минꙋ́вшей сꙋббѡ́тѣ, марі́а магдали́на и҆ марі́а і҆а́кѡвлѧ и҆ салѡмі́а кꙋпи́ша а҆рѡма́ты, да прише́дшѧ пома́жꙋтъ і҆и҃са.

2

And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

καὶ λίαν πρωῒ τῆς μιᾶς σαββάτων ἔρχονται ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, ἀνατείλαντος τοῦ ἡλίου.

И҆ ѕѣлѡ̀ заꙋ́тра во є҆ди́нꙋ ѿ сꙋббѡ́тъ прїидо́ша на гро́бъ, возсїѧ́вшꙋ со́лнцꙋ,

3

And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἑαυτάς· τίς ἀποκυλίσει ἡμῖν τὸν λίθον ἐκ τῆς θύρας τοῦ μνημείου;

и҆ глаго́лахꙋ къ себѣ̀: кто̀ ѿвали́тъ на́мъ ка́мень ѿ две́рїй гро́ба;

4

And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

καὶ ἀναβλέψασαι θεωροῦσιν ὅτι ἀποκεκύλισται ὁ λίθος· ἦν γὰρ μέγας σφόδρα.

И҆ воззрѣ́вшѧ ви́дѣша, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿвале́нъ бѣ̀ ка́мень: бѣ́ бо ве́лїй ѕѣлѡ̀.

5

And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

καὶ εἰσελθοῦσαι εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον εἶδον νεανίσκον καθήμενον ἐν τοῖς δεξιοῖς, περιβεβλημένον στολὴν λευκήν, καὶ ἐξεθαμβήθησαν.

И҆ вше́дшѧ во гро́бъ, ви́дѣша ю҆́ношꙋ сѣдѧ́ща въ десны́хъ, ѡ҆дѣ́ѧна во ѻ҆де́ждꙋ бѣлꙋ̀: и҆ ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ.

6

And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐταῖς· μὴ ἐκθαμβεῖσθε· Ἰησοῦν ζητεῖτε τὸν Ναζαρηνὸν τὸν ἐσταυρωμένον· ἠγέρθη, οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε· ἴδε ὁ τόπος ὅπου ἔθηκαν αὐτόν.

Ѻ҆́нъ же глаго́ла и҆̀мъ: не ᲂу҆жаса́йтесѧ: і҆и҃са и҆́щете назарѧни́на распѧ́таго: воста̀, нѣ́сть здѣ̀: сѐ, мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же положи́ша є҆го̀:

7

But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

ἀλλ᾿ ὑπάγετε εἴπατε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ Πέτρῳ ὅτι προάγει ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν· ἐκεῖ αὐτὸν ὄψεσθε, καθὼς εἶπεν ὑμῖν.

но и҆ди́те, рцы́те ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ петро́ви, ꙗ҆́кѡ варѧ́етъ вы̀ въ галїле́и: та́мѡ є҆го̀ ви́дите, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ ва́мъ.

8

And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

καὶ ἐξελθοῦσαι ἔφυγον ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου· εἶχε δὲ αὐτὰς τρόμος καὶ ἔκστασις, καὶ οὐδενὶ οὐδὲν εἶπον· ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ.

И҆ и҆зше́дшѧ бѣжа́ша ѿ гро́ба: и҆мѧ́ше {ѡ҆держа́ше} же и҆̀хъ тре́петъ и҆ ᲂу҆́жасъ: и҆ никомꙋ́же ничто́же рѣ́ша: боѧ́хꙋбосѧ.

Ephesians 2:14–22 § 221

Ephesians 2:14–22 § 221

Brethren, Christ is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of division between us, having abolished in His Flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the Cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to them that were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father… Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

Luke 10.25-37 § 53

Luke 10.25-37 § 53

25

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

Καὶ ἰδοὺ νομικός τις ἀνέστη ἐκπειράζων αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων· διδάσκαλε, τί ποιήσας ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω;

[Заⷱ҇ 53] И҆ сѐ, зако́нникъ нѣ́кїй воста̀, и҆скꙋша́ѧ є҆го̀ и҆ глаго́лѧ: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, что̀ сотвори́въ, живо́тъ вѣ́чный наслѣ́дꙋю;

26

He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

ὁ δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· ἐν τῷ νόμῳ τί γέγραπται; πῶς ἀναγινώσκεις;

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ къ немꙋ̀: въ зако́нѣ что̀ пи́сано є҆́сть; ка́кѡ чте́ши;

27

And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· ἀγαπήσεις Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ἰσχύος σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς διανοίας σου, καὶ τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν·

Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ: возлю́биши гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоего̀ ѿ всегѡ̀ се́рдца твоегѡ̀, и҆ ѿ всеѧ̀ дꙋшѝ твоеѧ̀, и҆ все́ю крѣ́постїю твое́ю, и҆ всѣ́мъ помышле́нїемъ твои́мъ: и҆ бли́жнѧго своего̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ са́мъ себѐ.

28

And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ· ὀρθῶς ἀπεκρίθης· τοῦτο ποίει καὶ ζήσῃ.

Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀: пра́вѡ ѿвѣща́лъ є҆сѝ: сїѐ сотворѝ, и҆ жи́въ бꙋ́деши.

29

But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

ὁ δὲ θέλων δικαιοῦν ἑαυτὸν εἶπε πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν· καὶ τίς ἐστί μου πλησίον;

Ѻ҆́нъ же хотѧ̀ ѡ҆правди́тисѧ са́мъ, речѐ ко і҆и҃сꙋ: и҆ кто̀ є҆́сть бли́жнїй мо́й;

30

And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· ἄνθρωπός τις κατέβαινεν ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς Ἱεριχώ, καὶ λῃσταῖς περιέπεσεν· οἳ καὶ ἐκδύσαντες αὐτὸν καὶ πληγὰς ἐπιθέντες ἀπῆλθον ἀφέντες ἡμιθανῆ τυγχάνοντα.

Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆и҃съ речѐ: человѣ́къ нѣ́кїй схожда́ше ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма во і҆ерїхѡ́нъ, и҆ въ разбо́йники впадѐ, и҆̀же совле́кше є҆го̀, и҆ ꙗ҆́звы возло́жше ѿидо́ша, ѡ҆ста́вльше є҆два̀ жи́ва сꙋ́ща.

31

And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

κατὰ συγκυρίαν δὲ ἱερεύς τις κατέβαινεν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ἀντιπαρῆλθεν.

По слꙋ́чаю же свѧще́нникъ нѣ́кїй схожда́ше пꙋте́мъ тѣ́мъ, и҆ ви́дѣвъ є҆го̀, мимои́де.

32

And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ Λευΐτης γενόμενος κατὰ τὸν τόπον, ἐλθὼν καὶ ἰδὼν ἀντιπαρῆλθε.

Та́кожде же и҆ леѵі́тъ, бы́въ на то́мъ мѣ́стѣ, прише́дъ и҆ ви́дѣвъ, мимои́де.

33

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

Σαμαρείτης δέ τις ὁδεύων ἦλθε κατ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ἐσπλαγχνίσθη,

Самарѧни́нъ же нѣ́кто грѧды́й, прїи́де над̾ него̀, и҆ ви́дѣвъ є҆го̀, милосе́рдова:

34

And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

καὶ προσελθὼν κατέδησε τὰ τραύματα αὐτοῦ ἐπιχέων ἔλαιον καὶ οἶνον, ἐπιβιβάσας δὲ αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἴδιον κτῆνος ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς πανδοχεῖον καὶ ἐπεμελήθη αὐτοῦ·

и҆ пристꙋ́пль ѡ҆бвѧза̀ стрꙋ́пы є҆гѡ̀, возлива́ѧ ма́сло и҆ вїно̀: всади́въ же є҆го̀ на сво́й ско́тъ, приведѐ є҆го̀ въ гости́нницꙋ и҆ прилѣжа̀ є҆мꙋ̀:

35

And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν αὔριον ἐξελθών, ἐκβαλὼν δύο δηνάρια ἔδωκε τῷ πανδοχεῖ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἐπιμελήθητι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅτι ἂν προσδαπανήσῃς, ἐγὼ ἐν τῷ ἐπανέρχεσθαί με ἀποδώσω σοι.

и҆ наꙋ́трїѧ и҆зше́дъ, и҆з̾е́мь два̀ сре́брєника, дадѐ гости́нникꙋ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: прилѣжѝ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ є҆́же а҆́ще прїиждиве́ши, а҆́зъ є҆гда̀ возвращꙋ́сѧ, возда́мъ тѝ.

36

Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

τίς οὖν τούτων τῶν τριῶν πλησίον δοκεῖ σοι γεγονέναι τοῦ ἐμπεσόντος εἰς τοὺς λῃστάς;

Кто̀ ᲂу҆̀бо ѿ тѣ́хъ трїе́хъ бли́жнїй мни́ттисѧ бы́ти впа́дшемꙋ въ разбо́йники;

37

And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔλεος μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· πορεύου καὶ σὺ ποίει ὁμοίως.

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: сотвори́вый ми́лость съ ни́мъ. Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: и҆дѝ, и҆ ты̀ творѝ та́кожде.
