1 Thessalonians 2:14–19
§ 266
1 Thessalonians 2:14–19 § 266
Brethren, you became followers of the Churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus… For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own Prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire. Wherefore we wanted to come to you, even I, Paul, time and again, but Satan hindered us. For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?
Luke 13.31-35
§ 73
Luke 13.31-35 § 73
The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
Ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ προσῆλθόν τινες Φαρισαῖοι λέγοντες αὐτῷ· ἔξελθε καὶ πορεύου ἐντεῦθεν, ὅτι Ἡρῴδης θέλει σε ἀποκτεῖναι.
[Заⷱ҇ 73] Въ то́й де́нь пристꙋпи́ша нѣ́цыи ѿ фарїсє́й, глаго́люще є҆мꙋ̀: и҆зы́ди и҆ и҆дѝ ѿсю́дꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́рѡдъ хо́щетъ тѧ̀ ᲂу҆би́ти.
And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πορευθέντες εἴπατε τῇ ἀλώπεκι ταύτῃ· ἰδοὺ ἐκβάλλω δαιμόνια καὶ ἰάσεις ἐπιτελῶ σήμερον καὶ αὔριον, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ τελειοῦμαι·
И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ше́дше рцы́те ли́сꙋ томꙋ̀: сѐ, и҆згоню̀ бѣ́сы и҆ и҆сцѣлє́нїѧ творю̀ дне́сь и҆ ᲂу҆́трѣ, и҆ въ тре́тїй сконча́юсѧ:
Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
πλὴν δεῖ με σήμερον καὶ αὔριον καὶ τῇ ἐχομένῃ πορεύεσθαι, ὅτι οὐκ ἐνδέχεται προφήτην ἀπολέσθαι ἔξω Ἱερουσαλήμ.
ѻ҆ба́че подоба́етъ мѝ дне́сь и҆ ᲂу҆́трѣ и҆ въ бли́жнїй и҆тѝ: ꙗ҆́кѡ невозмо́жно є҆́сть прⷪ҇ро́кꙋ поги́бнꙋти кромѣ̀ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
Ἱερουσαλὴμ Ἱερουσαλήμ, ἡ ἀποκτέννουσα τοὺς προφήτας καὶ λιθοβολοῦσα τοὺς ἀπεσταλμένους πρὸς αὐτήν, ποσάκις ἠθέλησα ἐπισυνάξαι τὰ τέκνα σου ὃν τρόπον ὄρνις τὴν ἑαυτῆς νοσσιὰν ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας, καὶ οὐκ ἠθελήσατε.
І҆ерⷭли́ме, і҆ерⷭли́ме, и҆зби́вый прⷪ҇ро́ки и҆ ка́менїемъ побива́ѧ пѡ́сланныѧ къ тебѣ̀, колькра́ты восхотѣ́хъ собра́ти ча̑да твоѧ̑, ꙗ҆́коже ко́кошъ гнѣздо̀ своѐ под̾ крилѣ̑, и҆ не восхотѣ́сте;
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
ἰδοὺ ἀφίεται ὑμῖν ὁ οἶκος ὑμῶν ἔρημος. λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μή με ἴδητε ἕως ἂν ἥξῃ ὅτε εἴπητε· εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.
Сѐ, ѡ҆ставлѧ́етсѧ ва́мъ до́мъ ва́шъ пꙋ́стъ. Гл҃ю же ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆́мате менѐ ви́дѣти, до́ндеже прїи́детъ, є҆гда̀ рече́те: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ грѧды́й во и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇не.
