Tuesday of the 27th week after Pentecost

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἡ γέννησις οὕτως ἦν. μνηστευθείσης γὰρ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Μαρίας τῷ Ἰωσήφ, πρὶν ἢ συνελθεῖν αὐτοὺς εὑρέθη ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα ἐκ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου.

[Заⷱ҇ 2] І҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́во ржⷭ҇тво̀ си́це бѣ̀: ѡ҆брꙋче́ннѣй бо бы́вши мт҃ри є҆гѡ̀ мр҃і́и і҆ѡ́сифови, пре́жде да́же не сни́тисѧ и҆́ма, ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ и҆мꙋ́щи во чре́вѣ ѿ дх҃а ст҃а.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, δίκαιος ὢν καὶ μὴ θέλων αὐτὴν παραδειγματίσαι, ἐβουλήθη λάθρα ἀπολῦσαι αὐτήν.

І҆ѡ́сифъ же мꙋ́жъ є҆ѧ̀, првⷣнъ сы́й и҆ не хотѧ̀ є҆ѧ̀ ѡ҆бличи́ти, восхотѣ̀ та́й пꙋсти́ти ю҆̀.

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Ταῦτα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐνθυμηθέντος ἰδοὺ ἄγγελος Κυρίου κατ᾿ ὄναρ ἐφάνη αὐτῷ λέγων· Ἰωσὴφ υἱὸς Δαυῒδ, μὴ φοβηθῇς παραλαβεῖν Μαριὰμ τὴν γυναῖκά σου· τὸ γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ γεννηθὲν ἐκ Πνεύματός ἐστιν Ἁγίου.

Сїѧ̑ же є҆мꙋ̀ помы́слившꙋ, сѐ, а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень во снѣ̀ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: і҆ѡ́сифе, сы́не дв҃довъ, не ᲂу҆бо́йсѧ прїѧ́ти мр҃їа́мъ жены̀ твоеѧ̀: ро́ждшеебосѧ въ не́й, ѿ дх҃а є҆́сть ст҃а:

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

τέξεται δὲ υἱὸν καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν· αὐτὸς γὰρ σώσει τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν.

роди́тъ же сн҃а, и҆ нарече́ши и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ: то́й бо сп҃се́тъ лю́ди своѧ̑ ѿ грѣ̑хъ и҆́хъ.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Τοῦτο δὲ ὅλον γέγονεν ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ρηθὲν ὑπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου διὰ τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος·

Сїе́ же всѐ бы́сть, да сбꙋ́детсѧ рече́нное ѿ гдⷭ҇а прⷪ҇ро́комъ, глаго́лющимъ:

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

ἰδοὺ ἡ παρθένος ἐν γαστρὶ ἕξει καὶ τέξεται υἱόν, καὶ καλέσουσι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐμμανουήλ, ὅ ἐστι μεθερμηνευόμενον μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν ὁ Θεός.

сѐ, дв҃а во чре́вѣ прїи́метъ и҆ роди́тъ сн҃а, и҆ нарекꙋ́тъ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆мманꙋ́илъ, є҆́же є҆́сть сказа́емо: съ на́ми бг҃ъ.

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

Διεγερθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰωσὴφ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕπνου ἐποίησεν ὡς προσέταξεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου καὶ παρέλαβε τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ,

Воста́въ же і҆ѡ́сифъ ѿ сна̀, сотворѝ ꙗ҆́коже повелѣ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆ прїѧ́тъ женꙋ̀ свою̀,

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκεν αὐτὴν ἕως οὗ ἔτεκε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν πρωτότοκον, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν.

и҆ не зна́ѧше є҆ѧ̀, до́ндеже родѝ сн҃а своего̀ пе́рвенца, и҆ наречѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃съ.

NOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Τοῦ δὲ Ἰησοῦ γεννηθέντος ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἐν ἡμέραις Ἡρῴδου τοῦ βασιλέως, ἰδοὺ μάγοι ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν παρεγένοντο εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα

[Заⷱ҇ 3] І҆и҃сꙋ же ро́ждшꙋсѧ въ виѳлее́мѣ і҆ꙋде́йстѣмъ во дни̑ и҆́рѡда царѧ̀, сѐ, волсвѝ ѿ востѡ́къ прїидо́ша во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, глаго́люще:

Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

λέγοντες· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ τεχθεὶς βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων; εἴδομεν γὰρ αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀστέρα ἐν τῇ ἀνατολῇ καὶ ἤλθομεν προσκυνῆσαι αὐτῷ.

гдѣ̀ є҆́сть рожде́йсѧ цр҃ь і҆ꙋде́йскїй; ви́дѣхомъ бо ѕвѣздꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ на восто́цѣ и҆ прїидо́хомъ поклони́тисѧ є҆мꙋ̀.

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Ἀκούσας δὲ Ἡρῴδης ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐταράχθη καὶ πᾶσα Ἱεροσόλυμα μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ,

Слы́шавъ же и҆́рѡдъ ца́рь смꙋти́сѧ, и҆ ве́сь і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ съ ни́мъ.

And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

καὶ συναγαγὼν πάντας τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ γραμματεῖς τοῦ λαοῦ ἐπυνθάνετο παρ᾿ αὐτῶν ποῦ ὁ Χριστὸς γεννᾶται.

И҆ собра́въ всѧ̑ первосвѧще́нники и҆ кни́жники людскі̑ѧ, вопроша́ше ѿ ни́хъ: гдѣ̀ хрⷭ҇то́съ ражда́етсѧ;

And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

οἱ δὲ εἶπον αὐτῷ· ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τῆς Ἰουδαίας· οὕτω γὰρ γέγραπται διὰ τοῦ προφήτου·

Ѻ҆ни́ же реко́ша є҆мꙋ̀: въ виѳлее́мѣ і҆ꙋде́йстѣмъ, та́кѡ бо пи́сано є҆́сть прⷪ҇ро́комъ:

And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

καὶ σὺ Βηθλεέμ, γῆ Ἰούδα, οὐδαμῶς ἐλαχίστη εἶ ἐν τοῖς ἡγεμόσιν Ἰούδα· ἐκ σοῦ γὰρ ἐξελεύσεται ἡγούμενος, ὅστις ποιμανεῖ τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ἰσραήλ.

и҆ ты̀, виѳлее́ме, землѐ і҆ꙋ́дова, ничи́мже ме́ньши є҆сѝ во влады́кахъ і҆ꙋ́довыхъ: и҆з̾ тебє́ бо и҆зы́детъ во́ждь, и҆́же ᲂу҆пасе́тъ лю́ди моѧ̑ і҆и҃лѧ.

Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

Τότε Ἡρῴδης λάθρα καλέσας τοὺς μάγους ἠκρίβωσε παρ᾿ αὐτῶν τὸν χρόνον τοῦ φαινομένου ἀστέρος,

Тогда̀ и҆́рѡдъ та́й призва̀ волхвы̀, и҆ и҆спы́товаше ѿ ни́хъ вре́мѧ ꙗ҆́вльшїѧсѧ ѕвѣзды̀,

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

καὶ πέμψας αὐτοὺς εἰς Βηθλεὲμ εἶπε· πορευθέντες ἀκριβῶς ἐξετάσατε περὶ τοῦ παιδίου, ἐπὰν δὲ εὕρητε, ἀπαγγείλατέ μοι, ὅπως κἀγὼ ἐλθὼν προσκυνήσω αὐτῷ.

и҆ посла́въ и҆̀хъ въ виѳлее́мъ, речѐ: ше́дше и҆спыта́йте и҆звѣ́стнѡ ѡ҆ ѻ҆троча́ти: є҆гда́ же ѡ҆брѧ́щете, возвѣсти́те мѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да и҆ а҆́зъ ше́дъ поклоню́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀.

When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπορεύθησαν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ ἀστὴρ ὃν εἶδον ἐν τῇ ἀνατολῇ προῆγεν αὐτούς, ἕως ἐλθὼν ἔστη ἐπάνω οὗ ἦν τὸ παιδίον·

Ѻ҆ни́ же послꙋ́шавше царѧ̀, и҆до́ша. И҆ сѐ, ѕвѣзда̀, ю҆́же ви́дѣша на восто́цѣ, и҆дѧ́ше пред̾ ни́ми, до́ндеже прише́дши ста̀ верхꙋ̀, и҆дѣ́же бѣ̀ ѻ҆троча̀.

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

ἰδόντες δὲ τὸν ἀστέρα ἐχάρησαν χαρὰν μεγάλην σφόδρα,

Ви́дѣвше же ѕвѣздꙋ̀, возра́довашасѧ ра́достїю ве́лїею ѕѣлѡ̀,

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

καὶ ἐλθόντες εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν εἶδον τὸ παιδίον μετὰ Μαρίας τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ πεσόντες προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀνοίξαντες τοὺς θησαυροὺς αὐτῶν προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δῶρα, χρυσὸν καὶ λίβανον καὶ σμύρναν·

и҆ прише́дше въ хра́минꙋ, ви́дѣша ѻ҆троча̀ съ мр҃і́ею мт҃рїю є҆гѡ̀, и҆ па́дше поклони́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀: и҆ ѿве́рзше сокрѡ́вища своѧ̑, принесо́ша є҆мꙋ̀ да́ры, зла́то и҆ лїва́нъ и҆ смѵ́рнꙋ.

And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

καὶ χρηματισθέντες κατ᾿ ὄναρ μὴ ἀνακάμψαι πρὸς Ἡρῴδην, δι᾿ ἄλλης ὁδοῦ ἀνεχώρησαν εἰς τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν.

И҆ вѣ́сть прїе́мше во снѣ̀ не возврати́тисѧ ко и҆́рѡдꙋ, и҆ны́мъ пꙋте́мъ ѿидо́ша во странꙋ̀ свою̀.

And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

καὶ ἀποκριθέντες λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· ποῦ, Κύριε; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὅπου τὸ σῶμα, ἐκεῖ ἐπισυναχθήσονται καὶ οἱ ἀετοί.

И҆ ѿвѣща́вше глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀: гдѣ̀, гдⷭ҇и; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: и҆дѣ́же тѣ́ло, та́мѡ соберꙋ́тсѧ и҆ ѻ҆рлѝ.
