Genesis 14.14-20 (Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council) § 22

Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council

14

And Abram having heard that Lot his nephew had been taken captive, numbered his own home-born [servants] three hundred and eighteen, and pursued after them to Dan.

ἀκούσας δὲ ῞Αβραμ ὅτι ᾐχμαλώτευται Λὼτ ὁ ἀδελφιδοῦς αὐτοῦ, ἠρίθμησε τοὺς ἰδίους οἰκογενεῖς αὐτοῦ, τριακοσίους δέκα καὶ ὀκτώ, καὶ κατεδίωξεν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως Δάν.

Слы́шавъ же а҆вра́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ плѣне́нъ бы́сть лѡ́тъ брата́ничь є҆гѡ̀, сочтѐ домоча́дцы своѧ̑ три́ста и҆ ѻ҆смьна́десѧть, и҆ погна̀ в̾слѣ́дъ и҆́хъ да́же до да́на.

15

And he came upon them by night, he and his servants, and he smote them and pursued them as far as Choba, which is on the left of Damascus.

καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς τὴν νύκτα αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατεδίωξεν αὐτοὺς ἕως Χοβά, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν ἀριστερᾷ Δαμασκοῦ.

И҆ нападѐ на нѧ̀ но́щїю са́мъ и҆ ѻ҆́троцы є҆гѡ̀ (съ ни́мъ): и҆ поразѝ и҆̀хъ и҆ гонѝ и҆̀хъ да́же до хова́ла, и҆́же є҆́сть ѡ҆шꙋ́юю дама́ска:

16

And he recovered all the cavalry of Sodom, and he recovered Lot his nephew, and all his possessions, and the women and the people.

καὶ ἀπέστρεψε πᾶσαν τὴν ἵππον Σοδόμων, καὶ Λὼτ τὸν ἀδελφιδοῦν αὐτοῦ ἀπέστρεψε καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὸν λαόν.

и҆ возвратѝ всѧ̑ кѡ́нныѧ содѡ́мскїѧ, и҆ лѡ́та сы́на бра́та своегѡ̀ возвратѝ, и҆ всѧ̑ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ жєны̀, и҆ лю́ди.

17

And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, to the valley of Saby; this was the plain of the kings.

᾿Εξῆλθε δὲ βασιλεὺς Σοδόμων εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ, μετὰ τὸ ὑποστρέψαι αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς τοῦ Χοδολλογομὸρ καὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῶν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τοῦ Σαβὺ (τοῦτο ἦν τὸ πεδίον τῶν βασιλέων).

И҆зы́де же ца́рь содо́мскїй въ срѣ́тенїе є҆мꙋ̀, повнегда̀ возврати́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀ ѿ сѣ́ча ходоллогомо́рскагѡ, и҆ царе́й сꙋ́щихъ съ ни́мъ, въ ю҆до́ль саѵи́нꙋ: сїе́ же бѧ́ше по́ле царе́во:

18

And Melchisedec king of Salem brought forth loaves and wine, and he was the priest of the most high God.

καὶ Μελχισεδὲκ βασιλεὺς Σαλὴμ ἐξήνεγκεν ἄρτους καὶ οἶνον· ἦν δὲ ἱερεὺς τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου.

и҆ мелхїседе́къ цр҃ь сали́мскїй и҆знесѐ хлѣ́бы и҆ вїно̀: бѧ́ше же сщ҃е́нникъ бг҃а вы́шнѧгѡ.

19

And he blessed Abram, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, who made heaven and earth,

καὶ εὐλόγησε τὸν Ἅβραμ καὶ εἶπεν· εὐλογημένος ῞Αβραμ τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ὑψίστῳ, ὃς ἔκτισε τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν.

И҆ благословѝ а҆вра́ма, и҆ речѐ: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ а҆вра́мъ бг҃омъ вы́шнимъ, и҆́же созда̀ не́бо и҆ зе́млю:

20

and blessed be the most high God who delivered thine enemies into thy power. And Abram gave him the tithe of all.

καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ὕψιστος, ὃς παρέδωκε τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποχειρίους σοι. καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ῞Αβραμ δεκάτην ἀπὸ πάντων.

и҆ блгⷭ҇ве́нъ бг҃ъ вы́шнїй, и҆́же предадѐ врагѝ твоѧ̑ под̾ рꙋ́ки тебѣ̀. И҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ десѧти́нꙋ а҆вра́мъ ѿ всегѡ̀.

Chapter 1

8

Behold, [God] has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them and to their seed after them.

ἴδετε, παραδέδωκεν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν τῆν γῆν· εἰσπορευθέντες κληρονομήσατε τὴν γῆν, ἣν ὤμοσα τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, τῷ ῾Αβραὰμ καὶ ᾿Ισαὰκ καὶ ᾿Ιακὼβ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτῶν μετ᾿ αὐτούς.

ви́дите, преда́хъ пред̾ ва́ми зе́млю, вше́дше наслѣ́дите зе́млю, є҆́юже клѧ́тсѧ гдⷭ҇ь ѻ҆тцє́мъ ва́шымъ, а҆враа́мꙋ и҆ і҆саа́кꙋ и҆ і҆а́кѡвꙋ, да́ти ю҆̀ и҆̀мъ и҆ сѣ́мени и҆́хъ по ни́хъ.

9

And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.

καὶ εἶπα πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ λέγων· οὐ δυνήσομαι μόνος φέρειν ὑμᾶς·

И҆ реко́хъ къ ва́мъ во вре́мѧ ѻ҆́но глаго́лѧ: не возмогꙋ̀ є҆ди́нъ води́ти ва́съ:

10

The Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, ye are to-day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν ἐπλήθυνεν ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἰδού ἐστε σήμερον ὡσεὶ τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ πλήθει·

гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ва́шъ ᲂу҆мно́жилъ вы̀ є҆́сть, и҆ сѐ, є҆стѐ дне́сь ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕвѣ́зды небє́сныѧ мно́жествомъ:

11

The Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand-fold more than you are, and bless you as he has spoken to you.

Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν προσθείη ὑμῖν ὡς ἐστὲ χιλιοπλασίως καὶ εὐλογήσαι ὑμᾶς, καθότι ἐλάλησεν ὑμῖν.

гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ѻ҆тє́цъ ва́шихъ да приложи́тъ ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да бꙋ́дете ты́сѧщами сꙋгꙋ́бѡ, и҆ да блгⷭ҇ви́тъ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́коже гл҃а ва́мъ:

15

So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.

καὶ ἔλαβον ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνδρας σοφοὺς καὶ ἐπιστήμονας καὶ συνετοὺς καὶ κατέστησα αὐτοὺς ἡγεῖσθαι ἐφ᾿ ὑμῶν χιλιάρχους καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους καὶ πεντηκοντάρχους καὶ δεκάρχους καὶ γραμματοεισαγωγεῖς τοῖς κριταῖς ὑμῶν.

И҆ взѧ́хъ ѿ ва́съ мꙋ́жы мꙋ̑дры и҆ ᲂу҆мѣ́тєльны и҆ смы́слєнны, и҆ поста́вихъ и҆̀хъ владѣ́ти над̾ ва́ми тысѧщенача́льники и҆ стонача́льники, и҆ пѧтьдесѧтонача́льники и҆ десѧтонача́льники, и҆ писмовводи̑тели сꙋдїѧ́мъ ва́шымъ.

16

And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.

καὶ ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς κριταῖς ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ λέγων· διακούετε ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν καὶ κρίνατε δικαίως ἀνὰ μέσον ἀνδρὸς καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ἀδελφοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον προσηλύτου αὐτοῦ.

И҆ заповѣ́дахъ сꙋдїѧ́мъ ва́шымъ во вре́мѧ ѻ҆́но, глаго́лѧ: разслꙋ́шайте посредѣ̀ бра́тїй ва́шихъ, и҆ сꙋди́те пра́веднѡ посредѣ̀ мꙋ́жа и҆ посредѣ̀ бра́та є҆гѡ̀ и҆ посредѣ̀ прише́льца є҆гѡ̀:

17

Thou shalt not have respect to persons in judgment, thou shalt judge small and great equally; thou shalt not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgment is God’s; and whatsoever matter shall be too hard for you, ye shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.

οὐκ ἐπιγνώσῃ πρόσωπον ἐν κρίσει, κατὰ τὸν μικρὸν καὶ κατὰ τὸν μέγαν κρινεῖς, οὐ μὴ ὑποστείλῃ πρόσωπον ἀνθρώπου, ὅτι ἡ κρίσις τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστι· καὶ τὸ ρῆμα, ὃ ἐὰν σκληρὸν ᾖ ἀφ᾿ ὑμῶν, ἀνοίσετε αὐτὸ ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ, καὶ ἀκούσομαι αὐτό.

да не позна́ете лица̀ въ сꙋдѣ̀, ма́ломꙋ и҆ вели́комꙋ сꙋ́диши, и҆ не ᲂу҆стыди́шисѧ лица̀ человѣ́ча, ꙗ҆́кѡ сꙋ́дъ бж҃їй є҆́сть: и҆ рѣ́чь, ꙗ҆́же а҆́ще же́стока бꙋ́детъ ᲂу҆ ва́съ, донесетѐ ю҆̀ ко мнѣ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шꙋ ю҆̀.

Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council

14

Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord thy God, the earth and all things that are in it.

ἰδοὺ Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἡ γῆ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτῇ·

Сѐ, гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоегѡ̀ не́бо и҆ не́бо небесѐ, землѧ̀ и҆ всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка сꙋ́ть на не́й:

15

Only the Lord chose your fathers to love them, and he chose out their seed after them, [even] you, beyond all nations, as at this day.

πλὴν τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν προείλετο Κύριος ἀγαπᾶν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐξελέξατο τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν μετ᾿ αὐτοὺς ὑμᾶς παρὰ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη κατὰ τὴν ἡμέραν ταύτην.

ѻ҆ба́че ѻ҆тцы̀ ва́шы произво́ли гдⷭ҇ь люби́ти и҆̀хъ, и҆ и҆збра̀ сѣ́мѧ и҆́хъ по ни́хъ, ва́съ, па́че всѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы̑къ, въ де́нь се́й.

16

Therefore ye shall circumcise the hardness of your heart, and ye shall not harden your neck.

καὶ περιτεμεῖσθε τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν καὶ τὸν τράχηλον ὑμῶν οὐ σκληρυνεῖτε ἔτι·

И҆ ѡ҆брѣ́жите жестокосе́рдїе ва́ше, и҆ вы́и ва́шеѧ не ѡ҆жесточи́те ктомꙋ̀:

17

For the Lord your God, he [is] God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the great, and strong, and terrible God, who does not accept persons, nor will he by any means accept a bribe:

ὁ γὰρ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν οὗτος Θεὸς τῶν θεῶν καὶ Κύριος τῶν κυρίων, ὁ Θεὸς ὁ μέγας· καὶ ἰσχυρὸς καὶ φοβερός, ὅστις οὐ θαυμάζει πρόσωπον, οὐδ᾿ οὐ μὴ λάβῃ δῶρον,

и҆́бо гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ва́шъ се́й бг҃ъ богѡ́въ и҆ гдⷭ҇ь господе́й, бг҃ъ вели́кїй и҆ крѣ́пкїй и҆ стра́шный, и҆́же не диви́тсѧ лицꙋ̀, нижѐ взе́млетъ да́ра:

18

executing judgment for the stranger and orphan and widow, and he loves the stranger to give him food and raiment.

ποιῶν κρίσιν προσηλύτῳ καὶ ὀρφανῷ καὶ χήρᾳ, καὶ ἀγαπᾷ τὸν προσήλυτον δοῦναι αὐτῷ ἄρτον καὶ ἱμάτιον.

творѧ́й сꙋ́дъ прише́льцꙋ и҆ си́рꙋ и҆ вдови́цѣ, и҆ лю́битъ прише́льца да́ти є҆мꙋ̀ хлѣ́бъ и҆ ри́зꙋ.

19

And ye shall love the stranger; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

καὶ ἀγαπήσετε τὸν προσήλυτον· προσήλυτοι γὰρ ἦτε ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ.

И҆ возлюби́те прише́льца: прише́льцы бо бѣ́сте въ землѝ є҆гѵ́петстѣй.

20

Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt cleave to him, and shalt swear by his name.

Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου φοβηθήσῃ καὶ αὐτῷ λατρεύσεις καὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν κολληθήσῃ καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ὀμῇ·

Гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоегѡ̀ да ᲂу҆бои́шисѧ, и҆ томꙋ̀ (꙳є҆ди́номꙋ) послꙋ́жиши, и҆ къ немꙋ̀ прилѣпи́шисѧ, и҆ и҆́менемъ є҆гѡ̀ клене́шисѧ:

21

He [is] thy boast, and he [is] thy God, who has wrought in the midst of thee these great and glorious things, which thine eyes have seen.

οὗτος καύχημά σου καὶ οὗτος Θεός σου, ὅστις ἐποίησεν ἐν σοὶ τὰ μεγάλα καὶ τὰ ἔνδοξα ταῦτα, ἃ εἴδοσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου.

то́й хвала̀ твоѧ̀ и҆ то́й бг҃ъ тво́й, и҆́же сотворѝ тебѣ̀ вели̑каѧ и҆ сла̑внаѧ сїѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣсте ѻ҆́чи твоѝ:

Matins Luke 24.36-53 § 114

Luke 24.36-53 § 114
36

And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Ταῦτα δὲ αὐτῶν λαλούντων αὐτὸς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἔστη ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· εἰρήνη ὑμῖν.

[Заⷱ҇ 114] Сїѧ̑ же и҆̀мъ глаго́лющымъ, (и҆) са́мъ і҆и҃съ ста̀ посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ и҆ гл҃а и҆̀мъ: ми́ръ ва́мъ.

37

But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

πτοηθέντες δὲ καὶ ἔμφοβοι γενόμενοι ἐδόκουν πνεῦμα θεωρεῖν.

Оу҆боѧ́вшесѧ же и҆ пристра́шни бы́вше, мнѧ́хꙋ дꙋ́хъ ви́дѣти:

38

And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί τεταραγμένοι ἐστέ, καὶ διατί διαλογισμοὶ ἀναβαίνουσιν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν;

и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: что̀ смꙋще́ни є҆стѐ; и҆ почто̀ помышлє́нїѧ вхо́дѧтъ въ сердца̀ ва̑ша;

39

Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

ἴδετε τὰς χεῖράς μου καὶ τοὺς πόδας μου, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐγώ εἰμι· ψηλαφήσατέ με καὶ ἴδετε, ὅτι πνεῦμα σάρκα καὶ ὀστέα οὐκ ἔχει καθὼς ἐμὲ θεωρεῖτε ἔχοντα.

ви́дите рꙋ́цѣ моѝ и҆ но́зѣ моѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ са́мъ а҆́зъ є҆́смь: ѡ҆сѧжи́те мѧ̀ и҆ ви́дите: ꙗ҆́кѡ дꙋ́хъ пло́ти и҆ ко́сти не и҆́мать, ꙗ҆́коже менѐ ви́дите и҆мꙋ́ща.

40

And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐπέδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τοὺς πόδας.

И҆ сїѐ ре́къ, показа̀ и҆̀мъ рꙋ́цѣ и҆ но́зѣ.

41

And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

ἔτι δὲ ἀπιστούντων αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῆς χαρᾶς καὶ θαυμαζόντων εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἔχετέ τι βρώσιμον ἐνθάδε;

Є҆ще́ же невѣ́рꙋющымъ и҆̀мъ ѿ ра́дости и҆ чꙋдѧ́щымсѧ, речѐ и҆̀мъ: и҆́мате ли что̀ снѣ́дно здѣ̀;

42

And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

οἱ δὲ ἐπέδωκαν αὐτῷ ἰχθύος ὀπτοῦ μέρος καὶ ἀπὸ μελισσίου κηρίου,

Ѻ҆ни́ же да́ша є҆мꙋ̀ ры́бы пече́ны ча́сть и҆ ѿ пче́лъ со́тъ.

43

And he took it, and did eat before them.

καὶ λαβὼν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἔφαγεν.

И҆ взе́мъ пред̾ ни́ми ꙗ҆дѐ,

44

And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς· οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι οὓς ἐλάλησα πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἔτι ὢν σὺν ὑμῖν, ὅτι δεῖ πληρωθῆναι πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωϋσέως καὶ προφήταις καὶ ψαλμοῖς περὶ ἐμοῦ.

рече́ же и҆̀мъ: сїѧ̑ сꙋ́ть словеса̀, ꙗ҆̀же гл҃ахъ къ ва́мъ є҆щѐ сы́й съ ва́ми, ꙗ҆́кѡ подоба́етъ сконча́тисѧ всѣ̑мъ напи̑саннымъ въ зако́нѣ мѡѷсе́овѣ и҆ прⷪ҇ро́цѣхъ и҆ ѱалмѣ́хъ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀.

45

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

τότε διήνοιξεν αὐτῶν τὸν νοῦν τοῦ συνιέναι τὰς γραφάς,

Тогда̀ ѿве́рзе и҆̀мъ ᲂу҆́мъ разꙋмѣ́ти писа̑нїѧ

46

And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι οὕτω γέγραπται καὶ οὕτως ἔδει παθεῖν τὸν Χριστὸν καὶ ἀναστῆναι ἐκ νεκρῶν τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ,

и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ пи́сано є҆́сть, и҆ та́кѡ подоба́ше пострада́ти хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀ и҆ воскрⷭ҇нꙋти ѿ ме́ртвыхъ въ тре́тїй де́нь,

47

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

καὶ κηρυχθῆναι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ μετάνοιαν καὶ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἀρξάμενον ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλήμ.

и҆ проповѣ́датисѧ во и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ покаѧ́нїю и҆ ѿпꙋще́нїю грѣхѡ́въ во всѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, наче́нше ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма:

48

And ye are witnesses of these things.

ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε μάρτυρες τούτων.

вы́ же є҆стѐ свидѣ́телїе си̑мъ:

49

And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πατρός μου ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς· ὑμεῖς δὲ καθίσατε ἐν τῇ πόλει Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἕως οὗ ἐνδύσησθε δύναμιν ἐξ ὕψους.

и҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ послю̀ ѡ҆бѣтова́нїе ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀ на вы̀: вы́ же сѣди́те во гра́дѣ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мстѣ, до́ндеже ѡ҆блече́тесѧ си́лою свы́ше.

50

And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

ἐξήγαγε δὲ αὐτοὺς ἔξω ἕως εἰς Βηθανίαν, καὶ ἐπάρας τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς.

И҆зве́дъ же и҆̀хъ во́нъ до виѳа́нїи и҆ воздви́гъ рꙋ́цѣ своѝ, (и҆) блгⷭ҇вѝ и҆̀хъ.

51

And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εὐλογεῖν αὐτὸν αὐτοὺς διέστη ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνεφέρετο εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ блгⷭ҇влѧ́ше и҆̀хъ, ѿстꙋпѝ ѿ ни́хъ и҆ возноша́шесѧ на не́бо.

52

And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

καὶ αὐτοὶ προσκυνήσαντες αὐτὸν ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ μετὰ χαρᾶς μεγάλης,

И҆ ті́и поклони́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀ и҆ возврати́шасѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ съ ра́достїю вели́кою:

53

And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

καὶ ἦσαν διὰ παντὸς ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ αἰνοῦντες καὶ εὐλογοῦντες τὸν Θεόν. Ἀμήν.

и҆ бѧ́хꙋ вы́нꙋ въ це́ркви, хва́лѧще и҆ благословѧ́ще бг҃а. А҆ми́нь.

2 Corinthians 6:16–7:1 § 182ctr

Brethren, you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, “ … I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them and be separate, saith the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you, and I will be a Father unto you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty”… Therefore, having these promises, beloved … let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God…

Hebrews 13:7–16 § 334 (Fathers)

Hebrews 13:7–16 (Fathers) § 334

Fathers

Brethren, remember them which rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever… Do not be carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with meats which have not profited those who have been occupied with them. We have an Altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own Blood, suffered outside the gate. Therefore let us go forth unto Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Luke 8.5-15 § 35

5

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

ἐξῆλθεν ὁ σπείρων τοῦ σπεῖραι τὸν σπόρον αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐν τῷ σπείρειν αὐτὸν ὃ μὲν ἔπεσε παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν, καὶ κατεπατήθη, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατέφαγεν αὐτό·

[Заⷱ҇ 35] и҆зы́де сѣ́ѧй сѣ́ѧти сѣ́мене своегѡ̀: и҆ є҆гда̀ сѣ́ѧше, ѻ҆́во падѐ при пꙋтѝ, и҆ попра́но бы́сть, и҆ пти́цы небє́сныѧ позоба́ша є҆̀:

6

And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν, καὶ φυὲν ἐξηράνθη διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ἰκμάδα·

а҆ дрꙋго́е падѐ на ка́мени, и҆ прозѧ́бъ ᲂу҆́сше, занѐ не и҆мѣ́ѧше вла́ги:

7

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀκανθῶν, καὶ συμφυεῖσαι αἱ ἄκανθαι ἀπέπνιξαν αὐτό.

и҆ дрꙋго́е падѐ посредѣ̀ те́рнїѧ, и҆ возрастѐ те́рнїе, и҆ подавѝ є҆̀:

And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀγαθήν, καὶ φυὲν ἐποίησε καρπὸν ἑκατονταπλασίονα. ταῦτα λέγων ἐφώνει· ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.

дрꙋго́е же падѐ на землѝ бла́зѣ, и҆ прозѧ́бъ сотворѝ пло́дъ стори́цею. Сїѧ̑ гл҃ѧ, возгласѝ: и҆мѣ́ѧй ᲂу҆́шы слы́шати да слы́шитъ.

9

And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

ἐπηρώτων δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· τίς εἴη ἡ παραβολὴ αὕτη.

Вопроша́хꙋ же є҆го̀ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀, глаго́люще: что̀ є҆́сть при́тча сїѧ̀;

10

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ὑμῖν δέδοται γνῶναι τὰ μυστήρια τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ, τοῖς δὲ λοιποῖς ἐν παραβολαῖς, ἵνα βλέποντες μὴ βλέπωσι καὶ ἀκούοντες μὴ συνιῶσιν.

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: ва́мъ є҆́сть дано̀ вѣ́дати та́йны црⷭ҇твїѧ бж҃їѧ, про́чымъ же въ при́тчахъ, да ви́дѧще не ви́дѧтъ и҆ слы́шаще не разꙋмѣ́ютъ.

11

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

ἔστι δὲ αὕτη ἡ παραβολή· ὁ σπόρος ἐστὶν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ·

Є҆́сть же сїѧ̀ при́тча: сѣ́мѧ є҆́сть сло́во бж҃їе:

12

Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

οἱ δὲ παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν εἰσιν οἱ ἀκούσαντες, εἶτα ἔρχεται ὁ διάβολος καὶ αἴρει τὸν λόγον ἀπὸ τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν, ἵνα μὴ πιστεύσαντες σωθῶσιν.

а҆ и҆̀же при пꙋтѝ, сꙋ́ть слы́шащїи, пото́мъ (же) прихо́дитъ дїа́волъ и҆ взе́млетъ сло́во ѿ се́рдца и҆́хъ, да не вѣ́ровавше спасꙋ́тсѧ:

13

They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

οἱ δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας οἳ ὅταν ἀκούσωσι, μετὰ χαρᾶς δέχονται τὸν λόγον, καὶ οὗτοι ρίζαν οὐκ ἔχουσιν, οἳ πρὸς καιρὸν πιστεύουσι καὶ ἐν καιρῷ πειρασμοῦ ἀφίστανται.

а҆ и҆̀же на ка́мени, и҆̀же є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆слы́шатъ, съ ра́достїю прїе́млютъ сло́во: и҆ сі́и ко́рене не и҆́мꙋтъ, и҆̀же во вре́мѧ вѣ́рꙋютъ, и҆ во вре́мѧ напа́сти ѿпа́даютъ:

14

And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

τὸ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας πεσόν, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ ἀκούσαντες, καὶ ὑπὸ μεριμνῶν καὶ πλούτου καὶ ἡδονῶν τοῦ βίου πορευόμενοι συμπνίγονται καὶ οὐ τελεσφοροῦσι.

а҆ є҆́же въ те́рнїи па́дшее, сі́и сꙋ́ть слы́шавшїи, и҆ ѿ печа́ли и҆ бога́тства и҆ сластьмѝ жите́йскими ходѧ́ще подавлѧ́ютсѧ, и҆ не соверша́ютъ плода̀:

15

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

τὸ δὲ ἐν τῇ καλῇ γῇ, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἵτινες ἐν καρδίᾳ καλῇ καὶ ἀγαθῇ ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον κατέχουσι καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ἐν ὑπομονῇ.

а҆ и҆̀же на до́брѣй землѝ, сі́и сꙋ́ть, и҆̀же до́брымъ се́рдцемъ и҆ бл҃ги́мъ слы́шавше сло́во, держа́тъ и҆ пло́дъ творѧ́тъ въ терпѣ́нїи. Сїѧ̑ гл҃ѧ, возгласѝ: и҆мѣ́ѧй ᲂу҆́шы слы́шати да слы́шитъ.

John 17.1-13 (Fathers) § 56

Fathers

1

THESE words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

Ταῦτα ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἐπῆρε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ εἶπε· πάτερ, ἐλήλυθεν ἡ ὥρα· δόξασόν σου τὸν υἱόν, ἵνα καὶ ὁ υἱός σου δοξάσῃ σε,

[Заⷱ҇ 56] Сїѧ̑ гл҃а і҆и҃съ и҆ возведѐ ѻ҆́чи своѝ на не́бо и҆ речѐ: ѻ҆́ч҃е, прїи́де ча́съ: просла́ви сн҃а твоего̀, да и҆ сн҃ъ тво́й просла́витъ тѧ̀:

2

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

καθὼς ἔδωκας αὐτῷ ἐξουσίαν πάσης σαρκός, ἵνα πᾶν ὃ δέδωκας αὐτῷ δώσῃ αὐτοῖς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

ꙗ҆́коже да́лъ є҆сѝ є҆мꙋ̀ вла́сть всѧ́кїѧ пло́ти, да всѧ́ко, є҆́же да́лъ є҆сѝ є҆мꙋ̀, да́стъ и҆̀мъ живо́тъ вѣ́чный:

3

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

αὕτη δέ ἐστιν ἡ αἰώνιος ζωή, ἵνα γινώσκωσί σε τὸν μόνον ἀληθινὸν Θεὸν καὶ ὃν ἀπέστειλας Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν.

се́ же є҆́сть живо́тъ вѣ́чный, да зна́ютъ тебѐ є҆ди́наго и҆́стиннаго бг҃а, и҆ є҆го́же посла́лъ є҆сѝ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇та̀.

4

I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

ἐγώ σε ἐδόξασα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, τὸ ἔργον ἐτελείωσα ὃ δέδωκάς μοι ἵνα ποιήσω·

А҆́зъ просла́вихъ тѧ̀ на землѝ, дѣ́ло соверши́хъ, є҆́же да́лъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀ да сотворю̀:

5

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

καὶ νῦν δόξασόν με σύ, πάτερ, παρὰ σεαυτῷ τῇ δόξῃ ᾗ εἶχον πρὸ τοῦ τὸν κόσμον εἶναι παρὰ σοί.

и҆ нн҃ѣ просла́ви мѧ̀ ты̀, ѻ҆́ч҃е, ᲂу҆ тебє̀ самогѡ̀ сла́вою, ю҆́же и҆мѣ́хъ ᲂу҆ тебє̀ пре́жде мі́ръ не бы́сть.

6

I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

ἐφανέρωσά σου τὸ ὄνομα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις οὓς δέδωκάς μοι ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου. σοὶ ἦσαν καὶ ἐμοὶ αὐτοὺς δέδωκας, καὶ τὸν λόγον σου τετηρήκασι.

Ꙗ҆ви́хъ и҆́мѧ твоѐ человѣ́кѡмъ, и҆̀хже да́лъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀ ѿ мі́ра: твоѝ бѣ́ша, и҆ мнѣ̀ и҆̀хъ да́лъ є҆сѝ, и҆ сло́во твоѐ сохрани́ша:

7

Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

νῦν ἔγνωκαν ὅτι πάντα ὅσα δέδωκάς μοι παρὰ σοῦ ἐστιν·

нн҃ѣ разꙋмѣ́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка да́лъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀, ѿ тебє̀ сꙋ́ть:

8

For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

ὅτι τὰ ρήματα ἃ δέδωκάς μοι δέδωκα αὐτοῖς, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔλαβον, καὶ ἔγνωσαν ἀληθῶς ὅτι παρὰ σοῦ ἐξῆλθον, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν ὅτι σύ με ἀπέστειλας.

ꙗ҆́кѡ гл҃го́лы, и҆̀хже да́лъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀, да́хъ и҆̀мъ, и҆ ті́и прїѧ́ша и҆ разꙋмѣ́ша вои́стиннꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ тебє̀ и҆зыдо́хъ, и҆ вѣ́роваша, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ мѧ̀ посла́лъ є҆сѝ.

9

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

ἐγὼ περὶ αὐτῶν ἐρωτῶ· οὐ περὶ τοῦ κόσμου ἐρωτῶ, ἀλλὰ περὶ ὧν δέδωκάς μοι, ὅτι σοί εἰσι,

А҆́зъ ѡ҆ си́хъ молю̀: не ѡ҆ (все́мъ) мі́рѣ молю̀, но ѡ҆ тѣ́хъ, и҆̀хже да́лъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ твоѝ сꙋ́ть:

10

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

καὶ τὰ ἐμὰ πάντα σά ἐστι καὶ τὰ σὰ ἐμά, καὶ δεδόξασμαι ἐν αὐτοῖς.

и҆ моѧ̑ всѧ̑ твоѧ̑ сꙋ́ть, и҆ твоѧ̑ моѧ̑: и҆ просла́вихсѧ въ ни́хъ:

11

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

καὶ οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, καὶ οὗτοι ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ εἰσί, καὶ ἐγὼ πρὸς σὲ ἔρχομαι. πάτερ ἅγιε, τήρησον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ᾧ δέδωκάς μοι, ἵνα ὦσιν ἓν καθὼς ἡμεῖς.

и҆ ктомꙋ̀ нѣ́смь въ мі́рѣ, и҆ сі́и въ мі́рѣ сꙋ́ть, и҆ а҆́зъ къ тебѣ̀ грѧдꙋ̀. Ѻ҆́ч҃е ст҃ы́й, соблюдѝ и҆̀хъ во и҆́мѧ твоѐ, и҆̀хже да́лъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀, да бꙋ́дꙋтъ є҆ди́но, ꙗ҆́коже (и҆) мы̀.

12

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

ὅτε ἤμην μετ’ αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, ἐγὼ ἐτήρουν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου· οὓς δέδωκάς μοι ἐφύλαξα, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀπώλετο εἰ μὴ ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀπωλείας, ἵνα ἡ γραφὴ πληρωθῇ.

Є҆гда̀ бѣ́хъ съ ни́ми въ мі́рѣ, а҆́зъ соблюда́хъ и҆̀хъ во и҆́мѧ твоѐ: и҆̀хже да́лъ є҆сѝ мнѣ̀, сохрани́хъ, и҆ никто́же ѿ ни́хъ поги́бе, то́кмѡ сы́нъ поги́бельный, да сбꙋ́детсѧ писа́нїе:

13

And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

νῦν δὲ πρὸς σὲ ἔρχομαι, καὶ ταῦτα λαλῶ ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἵνα ἔχωσι τὴν χαρὰν τὴν ἐμὴν πεπληρωμένην ἐν αὐτοῖς.

нн҃ѣ же къ тебѣ̀ грѧдꙋ̀, и҆ сїѧ̑ гл҃ю въ мі́рѣ, да и҆́мꙋтъ ра́дость мою̀ и҆спо́лненꙋ въ себѣ̀.
