§ 70
AND when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
Καὶ διαγενομένου τοῦ σαββάτου Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Ἰακώβου καὶ Σαλώμη ἠγόρασαν ἀρώματα ἵνα ἐλθοῦσαι ἀλείψωσιν αὐτόν.
[Заⷱ҇ 70] И҆ минꙋ́вшей сꙋббѡ́тѣ, марі́а магдали́на и҆ марі́а і҆а́кѡвлѧ и҆ салѡмі́а кꙋпи́ша а҆рѡма́ты, да прише́дшѧ пома́жꙋтъ і҆и҃са.
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
καὶ λίαν πρωῒ τῆς μιᾶς σαββάτων ἔρχονται ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον, ἀνατείλαντος τοῦ ἡλίου.
И҆ ѕѣлѡ̀ заꙋ́тра во є҆ди́нꙋ ѿ сꙋббѡ́тъ прїидо́ша на гро́бъ, возсїѧ́вшꙋ со́лнцꙋ,
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἑαυτάς· τίς ἀποκυλίσει ἡμῖν τὸν λίθον ἐκ τῆς θύρας τοῦ μνημείου;
и҆ глаго́лахꙋ къ себѣ̀: кто̀ ѿвали́тъ на́мъ ка́мень ѿ две́рїй гро́ба;
And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
καὶ ἀναβλέψασαι θεωροῦσιν ὅτι ἀποκεκύλισται ὁ λίθος· ἦν γὰρ μέγας σφόδρα.
И҆ воззрѣ́вшѧ ви́дѣша, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿвале́нъ бѣ̀ ка́мень: бѣ́ бо ве́лїй ѕѣлѡ̀.
And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
καὶ εἰσελθοῦσαι εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον εἶδον νεανίσκον καθήμενον ἐν τοῖς δεξιοῖς, περιβεβλημένον στολὴν λευκήν, καὶ ἐξεθαμβήθησαν.
И҆ вше́дшѧ во гро́бъ, ви́дѣша ю҆́ношꙋ сѣдѧ́ща въ десны́хъ, ѡ҆дѣ́ѧна во ѻ҆де́ждꙋ бѣлꙋ̀: и҆ ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ.
And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐταῖς· μὴ ἐκθαμβεῖσθε· Ἰησοῦν ζητεῖτε τὸν Ναζαρηνὸν τὸν ἐσταυρωμένον· ἠγέρθη, οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε· ἴδε ὁ τόπος ὅπου ἔθηκαν αὐτόν.
Ѻ҆́нъ же глаго́ла и҆̀мъ: не ᲂу҆жаса́йтесѧ: і҆и҃са и҆́щете назарѧни́на распѧ́таго: воста̀, нѣ́сть здѣ̀: сѐ, мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же положи́ша є҆го̀:
But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
ἀλλ᾿ ὑπάγετε εἴπατε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ Πέτρῳ ὅτι προάγει ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν· ἐκεῖ αὐτὸν ὄψεσθε, καθὼς εἶπεν ὑμῖν.
но и҆ди́те, рцы́те ᲂу҆чн҃кѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ петро́ви, ꙗ҆́кѡ варѧ́етъ вы̀ въ галїле́и: та́мѡ є҆го̀ ви́дите, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ ва́мъ.
And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
καὶ ἐξελθοῦσαι ἔφυγον ἀπὸ τοῦ μνημείου· εἶχε δὲ αὐτὰς τρόμος καὶ ἔκστασις, καὶ οὐδενὶ οὐδὲν εἶπον· ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ.
И҆ и҆зше́дшѧ бѣжа́ша ѿ гро́ба: и҆мѧ́ше {ѡ҆держа́ше} же и҆̀хъ тре́петъ и҆ ᲂу҆́жасъ: и҆ никомꙋ́же ничто́же рѣ́ша: боѧ́хꙋбосѧ.

Ephesians 2:14–22
§ 221
Ephesians 2:14–22 § 221
Brethren, Christ is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of division between us, having abolished in His Flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the Cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to them that were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father… Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.
Luke 12.16-21
§ 66
Luke 12.16-21 § 66
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
εἶπε δὲ παραβολὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων· ἀνθρώπου τινὸς πλουσίου εὐφόρησεν ἡ χώρα·
[Заⷱ҇ 66] Рече́ же при́тчꙋ къ ни̑мъ, гл҃ѧ: человѣ́кꙋ нѣ́коемꙋ бога́тꙋ ᲂу҆гобзи́сѧ ни́ва:
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
καὶ διελογίζετο ἐν ἑαυτῷ λέγων· τί ποιήσω, ὅτι οὐκ ἔχω ποῦ συνάξω τοὺς καρπούς μου;
и҆ мы́слѧше въ себѣ̀, глаго́лѧ: что̀ сотворю̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆́мамъ гдѣ̀ собра́ти плодѡ́въ мои́хъ;
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
καὶ εἶπε· τοῦτο ποιήσω· καθελῶ μου τὰς ἀποθήκας καὶ μείζονας οἰκοδομήσω, καὶ συνάξω ἐκεῖ πάντα τὰ γενήματά μου καὶ τὰ ἀγαθά μου,
И҆ речѐ: сѐ сотворю̀: разорю̀ жи̑тницы моѧ̑, и҆ бо́льшыѧ сози́ждꙋ, и҆ соберꙋ̀ тꙋ̀ всѧ̑ жи̑та моѧ̑ и҆ блага̑ѧ моѧ̑:
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
καὶ ἐρῶ τῇ ψυχῇ μου· ψυχή, ἔχεις πολλὰ ἀγαθὰ κείμενα εἰς ἔτη πολλά· ἀναπαύου, φάγε, πίε, εὐφραίνου.
и҆ рекꙋ̀ дꙋшѝ мое́й: дꙋшѐ, и҆́маши мнѡ́га бла̑га, лежа̑ща на лѣ̑та мнѡ́га: почива́й, ꙗ҆́ждь, пі́й, весели́сѧ.
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός· ἄφρον, ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ τὴν ψυχήν σου ἀπαιτοῦσιν ἀπὸ σοῦ· ἃ δὲ ἡτοίμασας τίνι ἔσται;
Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ бг҃ъ: безꙋ́мне, въ сїю̀ но́щь дꙋ́шꙋ твою̀ и҆стѧ́жꙋтъ ѿ тебє̀: а҆ ꙗ҆̀же ᲂу҆гото́валъ є҆сѝ, комꙋ̀ бꙋ́дꙋтъ;
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
οὕτως ὁ θησαυρίζων ἑαυτῷ, καὶ μὴ εἰς Θεὸν πλουτῶν.
Та́кѡ собира́ѧй себѣ̀, а҆ не въ бг҃а богатѣ́ѧ.
