Annunciation

Chapter 1

39

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:

40

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.

41

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,

42

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:

43

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;

44

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:

45

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.

46

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,

47

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:

48

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:

49

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:

56

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.

Hebrews 2:11–18 § 306 (Annunciation)

Hebrews 2:11–18 (Annunciation) § 306

Annunciation

Brethren, both He that sanctifies and they who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying: “I will declare Thy name unto My brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I sing praise unto Thee.” And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And again: “Behold, I and the children which God hath given Me.” Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release them, who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For indeed, He took not upon Himself the nature of Angels, but He took upon Himself the seed of Abraham. Therefore, in all things He had to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make expiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted.

Annunciation

24

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:

25

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.

26

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,

27

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.

28

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.

29

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.

30

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.

31

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:

32

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:

33

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.

34

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;

35

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:

36

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:

37

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

ὅτι οὐκ ἀδυνατήσει παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ πᾶν ρῆμα.

ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆знемо́жетъ ᲂу҆ бг҃а всѧ́къ гл҃го́лъ.

38

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.
