Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Lent

AND Abram was ninety-nine years old, and the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am thy God, be well-pleasing before me, and be blameless.

ΕΓΕΝΕΤΟ δὲ ῞Αβραμ ἐτῶν ἐνενηκονταεννέα, καὶ ὤφθη Κύριος τῷ ῞Αβραμ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεός σου· εὐαρέστει ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ καὶ γίνου ἄμεμπτος,

Бы́сть же а҆вра́мꙋ лѣ́тъ де́вѧтьдесѧтъ де́вѧть: и҆ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ гдⷭ҇ь а҆вра́мꙋ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: а҆́зъ є҆́смь бг҃ъ тво́й, благоꙋгожда́й предо мно́ю и҆ бꙋ́ди непоро́ченъ:

And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and I will multiply thee exceedingly.

καὶ θήσομαι τὴν διαθήκην μου ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ καὶ πληθυνῶ σε σφόδρα.

и҆ положꙋ̀ завѣ́тъ мо́й междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ междꙋ̀ тобо́ю: и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жꙋ тѧ̀ ѕѣлѡ̀.

And Abram fell upon his face, and God spoke to him, saying,

καὶ ἔπεσεν ῞Αβραμ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς λέγων·

И҆ падѐ а҆вра́мъ на лицы̀ свое́мъ, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ, гл҃ѧ:

And I, behold! my covenant [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.

καὶ ἐγὼ ἰδοὺ ἡ διαθήκη μου μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ ἔσῃ πατὴρ πλήθους ἐθνῶν,

и҆ а҆́зъ сѐ, завѣ́тъ мо́й съ тобо́ю, и҆ бꙋ́деши ѻ҆те́цъ мно́жества ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ:

And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraam, for I have made thee a father of many nations.

καὶ οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι τὸ ὄνομά σου ῞Αβραμ, ἀλλ᾿ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου ῾Αβραάμ, ὅτι πατέρα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν τέθεικά σε.

и҆ не нарече́тсѧ ктомꙋ̀ и҆́мѧ твоѐ а҆вра́мъ, но бꙋ́детъ и҆́мѧ твоѐ а҆враа́мъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆тца̀ мно́гихъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ положи́хъ тѧ̀:

And I will increase thee very exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

καὶ αὐξανῶ σε σφόδρα σφόδρα καὶ θήσω σε εἰς ἔθνη, καὶ βασιλεῖς ἐκ σοῦ ἐξελεύσονται.

и҆ возращꙋ́ тѧ ѕѣлѡ̀ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ положꙋ́ тѧ въ наро́ды, и҆ ца́рїе и҆з̾ тебє̀ и҆зы́дꙋтъ:

And I will establish my covenant between thee and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be thy God, and [the God] of thy seed after thee.

καὶ στήσω τὴν διαθήκην μου ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σπέρματός σου μετά σέ, εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν, εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον, εἶναί σου Θεὸς καὶ τοῦ σπέρματός σου μετὰ σέ.

и҆ поста́влю завѣ́тъ мо́й междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ междꙋ̀ тобо́ю, и҆ междꙋ̀ сѣ́менемъ твои́мъ по тебѣ̀ въ ро́ды и҆́хъ, въ завѣ́тъ вѣ́ченъ, да бꙋ́дꙋ тебѣ̀ бг҃ъ и҆ сѣ́мени твоемꙋ̀ по тебѣ̀:

And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land wherein thou sojournest, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.

καὶ δώσω σοι καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σὲ τὴν γῆν, ἣν παροικεῖς, πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν Χαναάν, εἰς κατάσχεσιν αἰώνιον καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεόν.

и҆ да́мъ тебѣ̀ и҆ сѣ́мени твоемꙋ̀ по тебѣ̀ зе́млю, въ не́йже ѡ҆бита́еши, всю̀ зе́млю ханаа́ню во ѡ҆держа́нїе вѣ́чное, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋ и҆̀мъ бг҃ъ.

And God said to Abraam, Thou also shalt fully keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee for their generations.

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς ῾Αβραάμ· σὺ δὲ τὴν διαθήκην μου διατηρήσεις, σὺ καὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου μετὰ σὲ εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν.

И҆ речѐ бг҃ъ ко а҆враа́мꙋ: ты́ же завѣ́тъ мо́й соблюде́ши, ты̀ и҆ сѣ́мѧ твоѐ по тебѣ̀ въ ро́ды и҆́хъ.

A wise son gladdens [his] father; but a foolish son sneers at his mother.

υἱὸς σοφὸς εὐφραίνει πατέρα, υἱὸς δὲ ἄφρων μυκτηρίζει μητέρα αὐτοῦ.

Сы́нъ премꙋ́дръ весели́тъ ѻ҆тца̀, сы́нъ же безꙋ́менъ раздража́етъ ма́терь свою̀.

The ways of a foolish man are void of sense; but a wise man proceeds on his way aright.

ἀνοήτου τρίβοι ἐνδεεῖς φρενῶν, ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος κατευθύνων πορεύεται.

Несмы́сленнагѡ стєзѝ скꙋ̑дны ᲂу҆ма̀: мꙋ́жъ же разꙋ́менъ и҆справлѧ́ѧ хо́дитъ.

They that honour not councils put off deliberation; but counsel abides in the hearts of counsellors.

ὑπερτίθενται λογισμοὺς οἱ μὴ τιμῶντες συνέδρια, ἐν δὲ καρδίαις βουλευομένων μένει βουλή.

Ѿлага́ютъ помышлє́нїѧ не чтꙋ́щїи со́нмищъ: въ сердца́хъ же совѣ́тныхъ пребыва́етъ совѣ́тъ.

A bad man will by no means attend to counsel; neither will he say anything seasonable, or good for the common [weal].

οὐ μὴ ὑπακούσῃ ὁ κακὸς αὐτῇ, οὐδὲ μὴ εἴπῃ καίριόν τι καὶ καλὸν τῷ κοινῷ.

Не послꙋ́шаетъ ѕлы́й є҆гѡ̀, нижѐ рече́тъ поле́зно что̀ и҆ добро̀ ѻ҆́бщемꙋ.

The thoughts of the wise are ways of life, that he may turn aside and escape from hell.

ὁδοὶ ζωῆς διανοήματα συνετοῦ, ἵνα ἐκκλίνας ἐκ τοῦ ᾅδου σωθῇ.

Пꙋтїѐ живота̀ помышлє́нїѧ разꙋ́мнагѡ, да ᲂу҆клони́всѧ ѿ а҆́да спасе́тсѧ.

The Lord pulls down the houses of scorners; but he establishes the border of the widow.

οἴκους ὑβριστῶν κατασπᾷ Κύριος, ἐστήρισε δὲ ὅριον χήρας.

До́мы досади́телей разорѧ́етъ гдⷭ҇ь, ᲂу҆тверди́ же предѣ́лъ вдови́цы.

An unrighteous thought is abomination to the Lord; but the sayings of the pure are held in honour.

βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ λογισμὸς ἄδικος, ἁγνῶν δὲ ῥήσεις σεμναί.

Ме́рзость гдⷭ҇еви по́мыслъ непра́ведный, чи́стыхъ же глаго́лы чє́стны.

A receiver of bribes destroys himself; but he that hates the receiving of bribes is safe. [27α By alms and by faithful dealings sins are purged away;] but by the fear of the Lord every one departs from evil [Proverbs 10,

α [ἐλεημοσύναις καὶ πίστεσιν ἀποκαθαίρονται ἁμαρτίαι,] τῷ δὲ φόβῳ Κυρίου ἐκκλίνει πᾶς ἀπὸ κακοῦ. (Μασ. Ι´,

Гꙋби́тъ себѐ мздои́мецъ, ненави́дѧй же дарѡ́въ прїѧ́тїѧ спасе́тсѧ: ми́лостынѧми и҆ вѣ́рами ѡ҆чища́ютсѧ грѣсѝ, стра́хомъ же гдⷭ҇нимъ ᲂу҆клонѧ́етсѧ всѧ́къ ѿ ѕла̀.

The hearts of the righteous meditate faithfulness; but the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things. 28α The ways of righteous men are acceptable with the Lord; and through them even enemies become friends. [Proverbs 10,

α δεκταὶ παρὰ Κυρίῳ ὁδοὶ ἀνθρώπων δικαίων, διὰ δὲ αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ φίλοι γίνονται. (Μασ. Ι´,

Сердца̀ првⷣныхъ поꙋча́ютсѧ вѣ́рѣ, ᲂу҆ста́ же нечести́выхъ ѿвѣща́ютъ ѕла̑ѧ: прїѧ́тни пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ пꙋтїѐ мꙋже́й првⷣныхъ, и҆́миже и҆ вразѝ дрꙋ́зїе быва́ютъ.

God is far from the ungodly; but he hearkens to the prayers of the righteous. 29α Better are small receipts with righteousness, than abundant fruits with unrighteousness. [Proverbs 10,

β καρδία ἀνδρὸς λογιζέσθω δίκαια, ἵνα ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ διορθωθῇ τὰ διαβήματα αὐτοῦ. (Μασ. Ι´,

Дале́че ѿстои́тъ бг҃ъ ѿ нечести́выхъ, моли́твы же првⷣныхъ послꙋ́шаетъ: лꙋ́чше ма́лое прїѧ́тїе со пра́вдою, не́жели мнѡ́га жи̑та съ непра́вдою: се́рдце мꙋ́жа да мы́слитъ првⷣнаѧ, да ѿ бг҃а и҆спра́вѧтсѧ стѡпы̀ є҆гѡ̀.

The eye that sees rightly rejoices the heart; and a good report fattens the bones.

θεωρῶν ὀφθαλμὸς καλὰ εὐφραίνει καρδίαν, φήμη δὲ ἀγαθὴ πιαίνει ὀστᾶ.

Ви́дѧщее ѻ҆́ко дѡ́браѧ весели́тъ се́рдце, сла́ва же блага́ѧ ᲂу҆тꙋчнѧ́етъ кѡ́сти.

He that rejects instruction hates himself; but he that minds reproofs loves his soul.

ὃς ἀπωθεῖται παιδείαν, μισεῖ ἑαυτόν, ὁ δὲ τηρῶν ἐλέγχους ἀγαπᾷ ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ.

И҆́же ѿмета́етъ наказа́нїе, ненави́дитъ себѐ: соблюда́ѧй же ѡ҆бличє́нїѧ лю́битъ свою̀ дꙋ́шꙋ.

The fear of the Lord is instruction and wisdom; and the highest honour will correspond therewith.

φόβος Θεοῦ παιδεία καὶ σοφία, καὶ ἀρχὴ δόξης ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτῇ.

Стра́хъ гдⷭ҇ень наказа́нїе и҆ премꙋ́дрость, и҆ нача́ло сла́вы ѿвѣща́етъ є҆́й (,꙳пред̾и́детъ же смирє́ннымъ сла́ва).

[See Appendix ] All the works of the humble [man] are manifest with God; but the ungodly shall perish in an evil day.

ΠΑΝΤΑ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ ταπεινοῦ φανερὰ παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ, οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κακῇ ὀλοῦνται.

Всѧ̑ дѣла̀ смире́ннагѡ ꙗ҆влє́нна пред̾ бг҃омъ, и҆ ᲂу҆крѣплѧ́ѧй дꙋ́хи гдⷭ҇ь.

(MT)]

]

Прибли́жи ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ дѣла̀ твоѧ̑, и҆ ᲂу҆твердѧ́тсѧ помышлє́нїѧ твоѧ̑.

(MT)]

)

Всѧ̑ содѣ́ла гдⷭ҇ь себє̀ ра́ди: нечести́вїи же въ де́нь ѕо́лъ поги́бнꙋтъ.

Every one that is proud in heart is unclean before God, and he that unjustly strikes hands with hand shall not be held guiltless.

ἀκάθαρτος παρὰ Θεῷ πᾶς ὑψηλοκάρδιος, χειρὶ δὲ χεῖρας ἐμβαλὼν ἀδίκως οὐκ ἀθῳωθήσεται.

Нечи́стъ пред̾ бг҃омъ всѧ́къ высокосе́рдый: въ рꙋ́кꙋ же рꙋ́цѣ влага́ѧй непра́веднѡ не ѡ҆безвини́тсѧ.

The beginning of a good way is to do justly; and it is more acceptable with God than to offer sacrifices. [cf. Proverbs 21:

ἀρχὴ ὁδοῦ ἀγαθῆς τὸ ποιεῖν τὰ δίκαια, δεκτὰ δὲ παρὰ Θεῷ μᾶλλον ἢ θύειν θυσίας. [Μασ.

И҆ща́й гдⷭ҇а ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ ра́зꙋмъ со пра́вдою:

He that seeks the Lord shall find knowledge with righteousness: and they that rightly seek him shall find peace.

ὁ ζητῶν τὸν Κύριον εὑρήσει γνῶσιν μετὰ δικαιοσύνης, οἱ δὲ ὀρθῶς ζητοῦντες αὐτὸν εὑρήσουσιν εἰρήνην.

пра́вѣ же и҆́щꙋщїи є҆го̀ ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋтъ ми́ръ.

All of the works of the Lord [are done] with righteousness; and the ungodly [man] is kept for the evil day. [Proverbs 10,

πάντα τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Κυρίου μετὰ δικαιοσύνης· φυλάσσεται δὲ ὁ ἀσεβὴς εἰς ἡμέραν κακήν. (Μασ. Ι´,

Всѧ̑ дѣла̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ со пра́вдою: храни́тсѧ же нечести́вый на де́нь ѕо́лъ.

And Moses was feeding the flock of Jothor his father-in-law, the priest of Madiam; and he brought the sheep nigh to the wilderness, and came to the mount of Choreb.

ΚΑΙ Μωυσῆς ἦν ποιμαίνων τὰ πρόβατα ᾿Ιοθόρ τοῦ γαμβροῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἱερέως Μαδιὰμ καὶ ἤγαγε τὰ πρόβατα ὑπὸ τὴν ἔρημον καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος Χωρήβ.

Мѡѷсе́й же бѧ́ше пасы́й ѻ҆́вцы і҆оѳо́ра те́стѧ своегѡ̀, свѧще́нника мадїа́мска: и҆ гна́ше ѻ҆́вцы въ пꙋсты́ню, и҆ прїи́де въ го́рꙋ бж҃їю хѡри́въ.

And an angel of the Lord appeared to him in flaming fire out of the bush, and he sees that the bush burns with fire,-- but the bush was not consumed.

ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐν πυρὶ φλογὸς ἐκ τοῦ βάτου, καὶ ὁρᾷ ὅτι ὁ βάτος καίεται πυρί, ὁ δὲ βάτος οὐ κατεκαίετο.

Ꙗ҆ви́сѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень въ пла́мени ѻ҆́гненнѣ и҆з̾ кꙋпины̀: и҆ ви́дитъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ кꙋпина̀ гори́тъ ѻ҆гне́мъ, кꙋпина́ же не сгара́ше.

And Moses said, I will go near and see this great sight, why the bush is not consumed.

εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς· παρελθὼν ὄψομαι τὸ ὅραμα τὸ μέγα τοῦτο, ὅτι οὐ κατακαίεται ὁ βάτος.

Рече́ же мѡѷсе́й: мимоше́дъ ᲂу҆ви́ждꙋ видѣ́нїе вели́кое сїѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не сгара́етъ кꙋпина̀.

And when the Lord saw that he drew nigh to see, the Lord called him out of the bush, saying, Moses, Moses; and he said, What is it?

ὡς δὲ εἶδε Κύριος ὅτι προσάγει ἰδεῖν, ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν ὁ Κύριος ἐκ τοῦ βάτου λέγων· Μωυσῆ, Μωυσῆ. ὁ δὲ εἶπε· τί ἐστι;

Є҆гда́ же ви́дѣ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ пристꙋпа́етъ ви́дѣти, воззва̀ є҆го̀ гдⷭ҇ь и҆з̾ кꙋпины̀, гл҃ѧ: мѡѷсе́е, мѡѷсе́е. Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: что́ є҆сть, гдⷭ҇и;

And he said, Draw not nigh hither: loose thy sandals from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

ὁ δὲ εἶπε· μή ἐγγίσῃς ὧδε. λῦσαι τὸ ὑπόδημα ἐκ τῶν ποδῶν σου· ὁ γὰρ τόπος, ἐν ᾧ σὺ ἕστηκας, γῆ ἁγία ἐστί.

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: не приближа́йсѧ сѣ́мѡ: и҆зꙋ́й сапогѝ ѿ но́гъ твои́хъ: мѣ́сто бо, на не́мже ты̀ стои́ши, землѧ̀ ст҃а̀ є҆́сть.

And he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraam, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and Moses turned away his face, for he was afraid to gaze at God.

καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός σου, Θεὸς ῾Αβραὰμ καὶ Θεὸς ᾿Ισαὰκ καὶ Θεὸς ᾿Ιακώβ. ἀπέστρεψε δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ· εὐλαβεῖτο γὰρ κατεμβλέψαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: а҆́зъ є҆́смь бг҃ъ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀, бг҃ъ а҆враа́мовъ и҆ бг҃ъ і҆саа́ковъ и҆ бг҃ъ і҆а́кѡвль. Ѿврати́ же мѡѷсе́й лицѐ своѐ: бл҃гоговѣ́ѧше бо воззрѣ́ти пред̾ бг҃а.

And the Lord said to Moses, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and I have heard their cry [caused] by their task-masters; for I know their affliction.

εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· ἰδὼν εἶδον τὴν κάκωσιν τοῦ λαοῦ μου τοῦ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ τῆς κραυγῆς αὐτῶν ἀκήκοα ἀπὸ τῶν ἐργοδιωκτῶν· οἶδα γὰρ τὴν ὀδύνην αὐτῶν,

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: ви́дѧ ви́дѣхъ ѡ҆ѕлобле́нїе люді́й мои́хъ, и҆̀же во є҆гѵ́птѣ, и҆ во́пль и҆́хъ ᲂу҆слы́шахъ ѿ дѣ́лъ приста́вникѡвъ: ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣхъ бо болѣ́знь и҆́хъ,

And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites.

καὶ κατέβην ἐξελέσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν Αἰγυπτίων καὶ ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης καὶ εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς γῆν ἀγαθὴν καὶ πολλήν, εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι, εἰς τὸν τόπον τῶν Χαναναίων καὶ Χετταίων καὶ ᾿Αμορραίων καὶ Φερεζαίων καὶ Γεργεσαίων καὶ Εὐαίων καὶ ᾿Ιεβουσαίων

и҆ снидо́хъ и҆з̾ѧ́ти и҆̀хъ ѿ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆гѵ̑петскꙋ, и҆ и҆звестѝ ѧ҆̀ и҆з̾ землѝ тоѧ̀, и҆ ввестѝ и҆̀хъ въ зе́млю бла́гꙋ и҆ мно́гꙋ, въ зе́млю кипѧ́щꙋю млеко́мъ и҆ ме́домъ, въ мѣ́сто ханане́йско и҆ хетте́йско, и҆ а҆морре́йско и҆ ферезе́йско, и҆ гергесе́йско и҆ є҆ѵе́йско и҆ і҆евꙋсе́йско:

The Lord made me the beginning of his ways for his works.

Κύριος ἔκτισέ με ἀρχὴν ὁδῶν αὐτοῦ εἰς ἔργα αὐτοῦ,

Гдⷭ҇ь созда́ мѧ {Є҆вр.: стѧжа́ мѧ.} нача́ло пꙋті́й свои́хъ въ дѣла̀ своѧ̑,

He established me before time [was] in the beginning, before he made the earth:

πρὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐθεμελίωσέ με ἐν ἀρχῇ, πρὸ τοῦ τὴν γῆν ποιῆσαι

пре́жде вѣ̑къ ѡ҆снова́ мѧ, въ нача́лѣ, пре́жде не́же зе́млю сотвори́ти,

even before he made the depths; before the fountains of water came forth:

καὶ πρὸ τοῦ τὰς ἀβύσους ποιῆσαι, πρὸ τοῦ προελθεῖν τὰς πηγὰς τῶν ὑδάτων,

и҆ пре́жде не́же бє́здны содѣ́лати, пре́жде не́же произы́ти и҆сто́чникѡмъ во́дъ,

before the mountains were settled, and before all hills, he begets me.

πρὸ τοῦ ὄρη ἑδρασθῆναι, πρὸ δὲ πάντων βουνῶν γεννᾷ με.

пре́жде не́же гора́мъ водрꙋзи́тисѧ, пре́жде же всѣ́хъ холмѡ́въ ражда́етъ мѧ̀.

The Lord made countries and uninhabited [tracks], and the highest inhabited parts of the world.

Κύριος ἐποίησε χώρας καὶ ἀοικήτους καὶ ἄκρα οἰκούμενα τῆς ὑπ᾿ οὐρανόν.

Гдⷭ҇ь сотворѝ страны̑ и҆ ненаселє́нныѧ, и҆ концы̑ населє́нныѧ поднебе́сныѧ.

When he prepared the heaven, I was present with him; and when he prepared his throne upon the winds:

ἡνίκα ἡτοίμαζε τὸν οὐρανόν, συμπαρήμην αὐτῷ, καὶ ὅτε ἀφώριζε τὸν ἑαυτοῦ θρόνον ἐπ᾿ ἀνέμων·

Є҆гда̀ гото́вѧше не́бо, съ ни́мъ бѣ́хъ, и҆ є҆гда̀ ѿлꙋча́ше прⷭ҇то́лъ сво́й на вѣ́трѣхъ,

and when he strengthened the clouds above; and when he secured the fountains of the earth:

ἡνίκα ἰσχυρὰ ἐποίει τὰ ἄνω νέφη, καὶ ὡς ἀσφαλεῖς ἐτίθει πηγὰς τῆς ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν

и҆ є҆гда̀ крѣ̑пки творѧ́ше вы̑шнїѧ ѡ҆́блаки, и҆ є҆гда̀ твє́рды полага́ше и҆сто́чники поднебе́сныѧ,

[see Appendix] and when he strengthened the foundations of the earth:

καὶ ἰσχυρὰ ἐποίει τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς,

и҆ є҆гда̀ полага́ше мо́рю предѣ́лъ є҆гѡ̀, да во́ды не мимои́дꙋтъ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ крѣ̑пка творѧ́ше ѡ҆снова̑нїѧ землѝ, бѣ́хъ при не́мъ ᲂу҆строѧ́ющи.

I was by him, suiting [myself to him], I was that wherein he took delight; and daily I rejoiced in his presence continually.

ἤμην παρ᾿ αὐτῷ ἁρμόζουσα. ἐγὼ ἤμην ᾗ προσέχαιρε, καθ᾿ ἡμέραν δὲ εὐφραινόμην ἐν προσώπῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ,

А҆́зъ бѣ́хъ, ѡ҆ не́йже ра́довашесѧ, на всѧ́къ же де́нь веселѧ́хсѧ пред̾ лице́мъ є҆гѡ̀ на всѧ́ко вре́мѧ,

And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;

Ἀναστᾶσα δὲ Μαριὰμ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν ὀρεινὴν μετὰ σπουδῆς εἰς πόλιν Ἰούδα,

[Заⷱ҇ 4] Воста́вши же мр҃їа́мь во дни̑ ты̑ѧ, и҆́де въ гѡ́рнѧѧ со тща́нїемъ, во гра́дъ і҆ꙋ́довъ:

And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ζαχαρίου καὶ ἠσπάσατο τὴν Ἐλισάβετ.

и҆ вни́де въ до́мъ заха́рїинъ и҆ цѣлова̀ є҆лїсаве́тъ.

And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ἡ Ἐλισάβετ τὸν ἀσπασμὸν τῆς Μαρίας, ἐσκίρτησε τὸ βρέφος ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐπλήσθη Πνεύματος Ἁγίου ἡ Ἐλισάβετ

И҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆слы́ша є҆лїсаве́тъ цѣлова́нїе мр҃і́ино, взыгра́сѧ младе́нецъ во чре́вѣ є҆ѧ̀: и҆ и҆спо́лнисѧ дх҃а ст҃а є҆лїсаве́тъ,

And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

καὶ ἀνεφώνησε φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ εἶπεν· εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυναιξὶ καὶ εὐλογημένος ὁ καρπὸς τῆς κοιλίας σου.

и҆ возопѝ гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ, и҆ речѐ: блгⷭ҇ве́на ты̀ въ жена́хъ, и҆ блгⷭ҇ве́нъ пло́дъ чре́ва твоегѡ̀:

And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

καὶ πόθεν μοι τοῦτο ἵνα ἔλθῃ ἡ μήτηρ τοῦ Κυρίου μου πρός με;

и҆ ѿкꙋ́дꙋ мнѣ̀ сїѐ, да прїи́детъ мт҃и гдⷭ҇а моегѡ̀ ко мнѣ̀;

For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

ἰδοὺ γὰρ ὡς ἐγένετο ἡ φωνὴ τοῦ ἀσπασμοῦ σου εἰς τὰ ὦτά μου, ἐσκίρτησε τὸ βρέφος ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ μου.

се́ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́сть гла́съ цѣлова́нїѧ твоегѡ̀ во ᲂу҆́шїю моє́ю, взыгра́сѧ младе́нецъ ра́дощами во чре́вѣ мое́мъ:

And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

καὶ μακαρία ἡ πιστεύσασα ὅτι ἔσται τελείωσις τοῖς λελαλημένοις αὐτῇ παρὰ Κυρίου.

и҆ бл҃же́нна вѣ́ровавшаѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бꙋ́детъ соверше́нїе гл҃гѡ́ланнымъ є҆́й ѿ гдⷭ҇а.

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

καὶ εἶπε Μαριάμ· Μεγαλύνει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν Κύριον

И҆ речѐ мр҃їа́мь: вели́читъ дш҃а̀ моѧ̀ гдⷭ҇а,

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

καὶ ἠγαλλίασε τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπὶ τῷ Θεῷ τῷ σωτῆρί μου,

и҆ возра́довасѧ дх҃ъ мо́й ѡ҆ бз҃ѣ сп҃сѣ мое́мъ:

For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

ὅτι ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὴν ταπείνωσιν τῆς δούλης αὐτοῦ. ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μακαριοῦσί με πᾶσαι αἱ γενεαί·

ꙗ҆́кѡ призрѣ̀ на смире́нїе рабы̀ своеѧ̀: се́ бо, ѿнн҃ѣ ᲂу҆блажа́тъ мѧ̀ всѝ ро́ди:

For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

ὅτι ἐποίησέ μοι μεγαλεῖα ὁ δυνατὸς καὶ ἅγιον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ,

ꙗ҆́кѡ сотворѝ мнѣ̀ вели́чїе си́льный, и҆ ст҃о и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀:

And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.

Ἔμεινε δὲ Μαριὰμ σὺν αὐτῇ ὡσεὶ μῆνας τρεῖς καὶ ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς.

Пребы́сть же мр҃їа́мь съ не́ю ꙗ҆́кѡ трѝ мцⷭ҇ы и҆ возврати́сѧ въ до́мъ сво́й.

Who has wrought and done these things? he has called it who called it from the generations of old; I God, the first and to [all] futurity, I AM.

τίς ἐνήργησε καὶ ἐποίησε ταῦτα; ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὴν ὁ καλῶν αὐτὴν ἀπὸ γενεῶν ἀρχῆς· ἐγὼ Θεὸς πρῶτος, καὶ εἰς τὰ ἐπερχόμενα ἐγώ εἰμι.

Кто̀ содѣ́ла и҆ сотворѝ сїѧ̑; призва̀ ю҆̀ призыва́ѧй ю҆̀ ѿ нача́ла родѡ́въ. А҆́зъ бг҃ъ пе́рвый, и҆ въ грѧдꙋ̑щаѧ а҆́зъ є҆́смь.

The nations saw, and feared; the ends of the earth drew nigh, and came together,

εἴδοσαν ἔθνη καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν, τὰ ἄκρα τῆς γῆς ἤγγισαν καὶ ἦλθον ἅμα,

Ви́дѣша ꙗ҆зы́цы и҆ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ, концы̑ земні́и прибли́жишасѧ и҆ прїидо́ша вкꙋ́пѣ.

every one judging for his neighbor and [that] to assist his brother: and one will say,

κρίνων ἕκαστος τῷ πλησίον καὶ τῷ ἀδελφῷ βοηθῆσαι καὶ ἐρεῖ·

Сꙋдѧ́й кі́йждо бли́жнемꙋ, и҆ бра́тꙋ помощѝ, и҆ рече́тъ:

The artificer has become strong, and the coppersmith that smites with the hammer, [and] forges also: sometimes he will say, It is a piece well joined: they have fastened them with nails; they will fix them, and they shall not be moved.

ἴσχυσεν ἀνὴρ τέκτων καὶ χαλκεὺς τύπτων σφύρῃ ἅμα ἐλαύνων· ποτὲ μὲν ἐρεῖ· σύμβλημα καλόν ἐστίν· ἰσχύρωσαν αὐτὰ ἐν ἥλοις, θήσουσιν αὐτὰ καὶ οὐ κινηθήσονται.

превозмо́же мꙋ́жъ древодѣ́латель, и҆ кова́чь бїѧ́й мла́томъ, вкꙋ́пѣ прокова́ѧй: ѻ҆вогда̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ рече́тъ: спаѧ́нїе добро̀ є҆́сть, ᲂу҆тверди́ша ѧ҆̀ гвоздьмѝ, положа́тъ ѧ҆̀, и҆ не подви́гнꙋтсѧ.

But thou, Israel, art my servant Jacob, and he whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraam, whom I have loved:

Σὺ δέ, ᾿Ισραήλ, παῖς μου ᾿Ιακώβ, ὃν ἐξελεξάμην, σπέρμα ῾Αβραάμ, ὃν ἠγάπησα,

Ты́ же, і҆и҃лю, ра́бе мо́й, і҆а́кѡве, є҆го́же и҆збра́хъ, сѣ́мѧ а҆враа́мле, є҆го́же возлюби́хъ,

whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and from the high places of it I have called thee, and said to thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and I have not forsaken thee.

οὗ ἀντελαβόμην ἀπ᾿ ἄκρων τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐκ τῶν σκοπῶν αὐτῆς ἐκάλεσά σε καὶ εἶπά σοι· παῖς μου εἶ, ἐξελεξάμην σε καὶ οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπόν σε·

є҆го́же поѧ́хъ ѿ конє́цъ землѝ, и҆ ѿ стра́жбъ є҆ѧ̀ призва́хъ тѧ̀, и҆ реко́хъ тѝ: ра́бъ мо́й є҆сѝ, и҆збра́хъ тѧ̀, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́вихъ тебѐ:

Fear not; for I am with thee: wander not; for I am thy God, who have strengthened thee; and I have helped thee, and have established thee with my just right hand.

μὴ φοβοῦ, μετὰ σοῦ γάρ εἰμι· μὴ πλανῶ, ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι ὁ Θεός σου ὁ ἐνισχύσας σε καὶ ἐβοήθησά σοι καὶ ἠσφαλισάμην σε τῇ δεξιᾷ τῇ δικαίᾳ μου.

не бо́йсѧ, съ тобо́ю бо є҆́смь, не прельща́ю: а҆́зъ бо є҆́смь бг҃ъ тво́й, ᲂу҆крѣпи́вый тѧ̀, и҆ помого́хъ тѝ, и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́хъ тѧ̀ десни́цею мое́ю првⷣною:

Behold, all thine adversaries shall be ashamed and confounded; for they shall be as if they were not: and all thine opponents shall perish.

ἰδοὺ αἰσχυνθήσονται καὶ ἐντραπήσονται πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοί σοι· ἔσονται γὰρ ὡς οὐκ ὄντες καὶ ἀπολοῦνται πάντες οἱ ἀντίδικοί σου·

сѐ, постыдѧ́тсѧ и҆ посра́мѧтсѧ всѝ сопротивлѧ́ющїисѧ тебѣ̀, бꙋ́дꙋтъ бо ꙗ҆́кѡ не сꙋ́щїи, и҆ поги́бнꙋтъ всѝ сопє́рницы твоѝ:

Thou shalt seek them, and thou shalt not find the men who shall insolently rage against thee: for they shall be as if they were not, and they that war against thee shall not be.

ζητήσεις αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐ μὴ εὕρῃς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, οἳ παροινήσουσιν εἰς σέ· ἔσονται γὰρ ὡς οὐκ ὄντες καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται οἱ ἀντιπολεμοῦντές σε.

взы́щеши и҆̀хъ, и҆ не ѡ҆брѧ́щеши человѣ́кѡвъ, и҆̀же порꙋга́ютсѧ тебѣ̀: бꙋ́дꙋтъ бо а҆́ки не бы́вшїи и҆ не бꙋ́дꙋтъ ра́тꙋющїи тебѐ.

For I am thy God, who holdeth thy right hand, who saith to thee,

ὅτι ἐγὼ ὁ Θεός σου ὁ κρατῶν τῆς δεξιᾶς σου, ὁ λέγων σοι·

Ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ бг҃ъ тво́й держа́й десни́цꙋ твою̀, гл҃ѧй тебѣ̀:

Fear not, Jacob, [and thou] Israel few in number; I have helped thee, saith thy God, he that redeems thee, O Israel.

μὴ φοβοῦ, ᾿Ιακώβ, ὀλιγοστὸς ᾿Ισραήλ· ἐγὼ ἐβοήθησά σοι, λέγει ὁ Θεός σου, ὁ λυτρούμενός σε, ᾿Ισραήλ.

не бо́йсѧ, і҆а́кѡве, ма́лый і҆и҃лю, а҆́зъ помого́хъ тѝ, гл҃етъ бг҃ъ тво́й, и҆збавлѧ́ѧй тѧ̀ ст҃ы́й і҆и҃левъ:

And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,

μετὰ δὲ ταύτας τὰς ἡμέρας συνέλαβεν Ἐλισάβετ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ περιέκρυβεν ἑαυτὴν μῆνας πέντε,

[Заⷱ҇ 3] По си́хъ же дне́хъ зача́тъ є҆лїсаве́тъ жена̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ таѧ́шесѧ мцⷭ҇ъ пѧ́ть, глаго́лющи:

Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.

λέγουσα ὅτι οὕτω μοι πεποίηκεν ὁ Κύριος ἐν ἡμέραις αἷς ἐπεῖδεν ἀφελεῖν τὸ ὄνειδός μου ἐν ἀνθρώποις.

ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ мнѣ̀ сотворѝ гдⷭ҇ь во дни̑, въ нѧ́же призрѣ̀ ѿѧ́ти поноше́нїе моѐ въ человѣ́цѣхъ.

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

Ἐν δὲ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἕκτῳ ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἄγγελος Γαβριὴλ ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς πόλιν τῆς Γαλιλαίας, ᾗ ὄνομα Ναζαρέτ,

Въ мцⷭ҇ъ же шесты́й по́сланъ бы́сть а҆́гг҃лъ гаврїи́лъ ѿ бг҃а во гра́дъ галїле́йскїй, є҆мꙋ́же и҆́мѧ назаре́тъ,

To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

πρὸς παρθένον μεμνηστευμένην ἀνδρί, ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰωσήφ, ἐξ οἴκου Δαυΐδ, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς παρθένου Μαριάμ.

къ дв҃ѣ ѡ҆брꙋче́ннѣй мꙋ́жеви, є҆мꙋ́же и҆́мѧ і҆ѡ́сифъ, ѿ до́мꙋ дв҃дова: и҆ и҆́мѧ дв҃ѣ мр҃їа́мь.

And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

καὶ εἰσελθὼν ὁ ἄγγελος πρὸς αὐτὴν εἶπε· χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη· ὁ Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ· εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυναιξίν.

И҆ вше́дъ къ не́й а҆́гг҃лъ речѐ: ра́дꙋйсѧ, блгⷣтнаѧ: гдⷭ҇ь съ тобо́ю: блгⷭ҇ве́на ты̀ въ жена́хъ.

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

ἡ δὲ ἰδοῦσα διεταράχθη ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ διελογίζετο ποταπὸς εἴη ὁ ἀσπασμὸς οὗτος.

Ѻ҆на́ же ви́дѣвши смꙋти́сѧ ѡ҆ словесѝ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ помышлѧ́ше, каково̀ бꙋ́детъ цѣлова́нїе сїѐ.

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος αὐτῇ· μὴ φοβοῦ, Μαριάμ· εὗρες γὰρ χάριν παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ.

И҆ речѐ а҆́гг҃лъ є҆́й: не бо́йсѧ, мр҃їа́мь: ѡ҆брѣла́ бо є҆сѝ блгⷣть ᲂу҆ бг҃а.

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

καὶ ἰδοὺ συλλήψῃ ἐν γαστρὶ καὶ τέξῃ υἱόν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν.

И҆ сѐ зачне́ши во чре́вѣ, и҆ роди́ши сн҃а, и҆ нарече́ши и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ:

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

οὗτος ἔσται μέγας καὶ υἱὸς ὑψίστου κληθήσεται, καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τὸν θρόνον Δαυῒδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ,

се́й бꙋ́детъ ве́лїй, и҆ сн҃ъ вы́шнѧгѡ нарече́тсѧ: и҆ да́стъ є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ прⷭ҇то́лъ дв҃да ѻ҆тца̀ є҆гѡ̀:

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

καὶ βασιλεύσει ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰακὼβ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔσται τέλος.

и҆ воцр҃и́тсѧ въ домꙋ̀ і҆а́кѡвли во вѣ́ки, и҆ црⷭ҇твїю є҆гѡ̀ не бꙋ́детъ конца̀.

Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

εἶπε δὲ Μαριὰμ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον· πῶς ἔσται μοι τοῦτο, ἐπεὶ ἄνδρα οὐ γινώσκω;

Рече́ же мр҃їа́мь ко а҆́гг҃лꙋ: ка́кѡ бꙋ́детъ сїѐ, и҆дѣ́же мꙋ́жа не зна́ю;

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῇ· Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον ἐπελεύσεται ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ δύναμις ὑψίστου ἐπισκιάσει σοι· διὸ καὶ τὸ γεννώμενον ἅγιον κληθήσεται υἱὸς Θεοῦ.

И҆ ѿвѣща́въ а҆́гг҃лъ речѐ є҆́й: дх҃ъ ст҃ы́й на́йдетъ на тѧ̀, и҆ си́ла вы́шнѧгѡ ѡ҆сѣни́тъ тѧ̀: тѣ́мже и҆ ражда́емое ст҃о нарече́тсѧ сн҃ъ бж҃їй:

And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἐλισάβετ ἡ συγγενής σου καὶ αὐτὴ συνειληφυῖα υἱὸν ἐν γήρει αὐτῆς, καὶ οὗτος μὴν ἕκτος ἐστὶν αὐτῇ τῇ καλουμένῃ στείρᾳ·

и҆ сѐ, є҆лїсаве́тъ ю҆́жика твоѧ̀, и҆ та̀ зача́тъ сы́на въ ста́рости свое́й: и҆ се́й мцⷭ҇ъ шесты́й є҆́сть є҆́й нарица́емѣй непло́ды:

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

ὅτι οὐκ ἀδυνατήσει παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ πᾶν ρῆμα.

ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆знемо́жетъ ᲂу҆ бг҃а всѧ́къ гл҃го́лъ.

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

εἶπε δὲ Μαριάμ· ἰδοὺ ἡ δούλη Κυρίου· γένοιτό μοι κατὰ τὸ ρῆμά σου. καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς ὁ ἄγγελος.

Рече́ же мр҃їа́мь: сѐ, раба̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ: бꙋ́ди мнѣ̀ по глаго́лꙋ твоемꙋ̀. И҆ ѿи́де ѿ неѧ̀ а҆́гг҃лъ.
