2 Forefeast of the Nativity of Christ

And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί ὑμῖν ἐνετείλατο Μωϋσῆς;

Ѻ҆́нъ же ѿвѣща́въ речѐ и҆̀мъ: что̀ ва́мъ заповѣ́да мѡѷсе́й;

And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πρὸς τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν ἔγραψεν ὑμῖν τὴν ἐντολὴν ταύτην·

И҆ ѿвѣща́въ і҆и҃съ речѐ и҆̀мъ: по жестосе́рдїю ва́шемꙋ написа̀ ва́мъ за́повѣдь сїю̀:

But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

ἀπὸ δὲ ἀρχῆς κτίσεως ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεός·

ѿ нача́ла же созда́нїѧ, мꙋ́жа и҆ женꙋ̀ сотвори́лъ ѧ҆̀ є҆́сть бг҃ъ:

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

ἕνεκεν τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν μητέρα, καὶ προσκολληθήσεται πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν.

сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѡ҆ста́витъ человѣ́къ ѻ҆тца̀ своего̀ и҆ ма́терь

And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

ὥστε οὐκέτι εἰσὶ δύο, ἀλλὰ μία σάρξ·

и҆ прилѣпи́тсѧ къ женѣ̀ свое́й, и҆ бꙋ́дета ѻ҆́ба въ пло́ть є҆ди́нꙋ: тѣ́мже ᲂу҆жѐ нѣ́ста два̀, но пло́ть є҆ди́на:

What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

ὃ οὖν ὁ Θεὸς συνέζευξεν, ἄνθρωπος μὴ χωριζέτω.

є҆́же ᲂу҆̀бо бг҃ъ сочета̀, человѣ́къ да не разлꙋча́етъ.

And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

καὶ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν πάλιν οἱ μαθηταὶ περὶ τούτου ἐπηρώτων αὐτόν,

И҆ въ домꙋ̀ па́ки ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆ се́мъ вопроси́ша є҆го̀.

And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην, μοιχᾶται ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν·

И҆ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: [Заⷱ҇ 44] и҆́же а҆́ще пꙋ́ститъ женꙋ̀ свою̀ и҆ ѡ҆же́нитсѧ и҆но́ю, прелюбы̀ твори́тъ на ню̀:

And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

καὶ ἐὰν γυνὴ ἀπολύσασα τὸν ἄνδρα γαμηθῇ ἄλλῳ, μοιχᾶται.

и҆ а҆́ще жена̀ пꙋ́ститъ мꙋ́жа {мꙋ́жа своего̀} и҆ посѧ́гнетъ за и҆но́го, прелюбы̀ твори́тъ.
