Genesis 4.16-26 § 8

Genesis 4.16-26 § 8

16

So Cain went forth from the presence of God and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Edem.

ἐξῆλθε δὲ Κάϊν ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν γῇ Ναὶδ κατέναντι ᾿Εδέμ.

И҆ и҆зы́де ка́їнъ ѿ лица̀ бж҃їѧ и҆ всели́сѧ въ зе́млю наі́дъ, прѧ́мѡ є҆де́мꙋ.

17

And Cain knew his wife, and having conceived she bore Enoch; and he built a city; and he named the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

Καὶ ἔγνω Κάϊν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκε τὸν ᾿Ενώχ. καὶ ἦν οἰκοδομῶν πόλιν καὶ ἐπωνόμασε τὴν πόλιν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ᾿Ενώχ.

И҆ позна̀ ка́їнъ женꙋ̀ свою̀, и҆ заче́нши родѝ є҆нѡ́ха. И҆ бѣ̀ зи́ждѧй гра́дъ, и҆ и҆менова̀ гра́дъ во и҆́мѧ сы́на своегѡ̀ є҆нѡ́хъ.

18

And to Enoch was born Gaidad; and Gaidad begot Maleleel; and Maleleel begot Mathusala; and Mathusala begot Lamech.

ἐγεννήθη δὲ τῷ ᾿Ενὼχ Γαϊδάδ, καὶ Γαϊδὰδ ἐγέννησε τὸν Μαλελεήλ, καὶ Μαλελεὴλ ἐγέννησε τὸν Μαθουσάλα, καὶ Μαθουσάλα ἐγέννησε τὸν Λάμεχ.

Роди́сѧ же є҆нѡ́хꙋ гаїда́дъ: и҆ гаїда́дъ родѝ малелеи́ла: и҆ малелеи́лъ родѝ маѳꙋса́ла: маѳꙋса́лъ же родѝ ламе́ха.

19

And Lamech took to himself two wives; the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the second Sella.

καὶ ἔλαβεν ἑαυτῷ Λάμεχ δύο γυναῖκας, ὄνομα τῇ μιᾷ ᾿Αδά, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ Σελλά.

И҆ взѧ̀ себѣ̀ ламе́хъ двѣ̀ жєны̀: и҆́мѧ є҆ди́нѣй а҆да̀ и҆ и҆́мѧ вторѣ́й селла̀.

20

And Ada bore Jobel; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle.

καὶ ἔτεκεν ᾿Αδὰ τὸν ᾿Ιωβήλ· οὗτος ἦν πατὴρ οἰκούντων ἐν σκηναῖς κτηνοτρόφων.

И҆ родѝ а҆да̀ і҆ѡви́ла: се́й бѧ́ше ѻ҆те́цъ живꙋ́щихъ въ селе́нїихъ скотопита́телей.

21

And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the psaltery and harp.

καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιουβάλ· οὗτος ἦν ὁ καταδείξας ψαλτήριον καὶ κιθάραν.

И҆ и҆́мѧ бра́тꙋ є҆гѡ̀ і҆ꙋва́лъ: се́й бѧ́ше показа́вый пѣвни́цꙋ и҆ гꙋ́сли.

22

And Sella also bore Thobel; he was a smith, a manufacturer both of brass and iron; and the sister of Thobel was Noema.

Σελλὰ δὲ καὶ αὐτὴ ἔτεκε τὸν Θόβελ, καὶ ἦν σφυροκόπος χαλκεὺς χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου· ἀδελφὴ δὲ Θόβελ Νοεμά.

Селла́ же и҆ та́ѧ родѝ ѳо́вела: се́й бѧ́ше млатобі́ецъ, кова́чь мѣ́ди и҆ желѣ́за: сестра́ же ѳо́велова ноема̀.

23

And Lamech said to his wives, Ada and Sella, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, consider my words, because I have slain a man to my sorrow and a youth to my grief.

εἶπε δὲ Λάμεχ ταῖς ἑαυτοῦ γυναιξίν· ᾿Αδὰ καὶ Σελλά, ἀκούσατέ μου τῆς φωνῆς, γυναῖκες Λάμεχ, ἐνωτίσασθέ μου τοὺς λόγους, ὅτι ἄνδρα ἀπέκτεινα εἰς τραῦμα ἐμοὶ καὶ νεανίσκον εἰς μώλωπα ἐμοί·

Рече́ же ламе́хъ свои̑мъ жена́мъ: а҆да̀ и҆ селла̀, ᲂу҆слы́шите гла́съ мо́й, жєны̀ ламе́хѡвы, внꙋши́те моѧ̑ словеса̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ мꙋ́жа ᲂу҆би́хъ въ ꙗ҆́звꙋ мнѣ̀ и҆ ю҆́ношꙋ въ стрꙋ́пъ мнѣ̀:

24

Because vengeance has been exacted seven times on Cain's behalf, on Lamech's [it shall be] seventy times seven.

ὅτι ἑπτάκις ἐκδεδίκηται ἐκ Κάϊν, ἐκ δὲ Λάμεχ ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά.

ꙗ҆́кѡ седми́цею ѿмсти́сѧ ѿ ка́їна, ѿ ламе́ха же се́дмьдесѧтъ седми́цею.

25

And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

῎Εγνω δὲ ᾿Αδὰμ Εὔαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν υἱόν, καὶ ἐπωνόμασε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σήθ, λέγουσα· ἐξανέστησε γάρ μοι ὁ Θεὸς σπέρμα ἕτερον ἀντὶ ῎Αβελ, ὃν ἀπέκτεινε Κάϊν.

Позна́ же а҆да́мъ є҆́ѵꙋ женꙋ̀ свою̀: и҆ заче́нши родѝ сы́на, и҆ и҆менова̀ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ си́ѳъ, глаго́лющи: воскр҃си́ бо мѝ бг҃ъ сѣ́мѧ дрꙋго́е, вмѣ́стѡ а҆́велѧ, є҆го́же ᲂу҆бѝ ка́їнъ.

26

And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enos: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.

καὶ τῷ Σὴθ ἐγένετο υἱός, ἐπωνόμασε δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ᾿Ενώς· οὗτος ἤλπισεν ἐπικαλεῖσθαι τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ.

И҆ си́ѳꙋ бы́сть сы́нъ: и҆менова́ же и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆нѡ́съ: се́й ᲂу҆пова̀ призыва́ти и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а.

Proverbs 5.15-6.3 § 75

Proverbs 5.15-6.3 § 75

Chapter 5

15

Drink waters out of thine own vessels, and out of thine own springing wells.

πῖνε ὕδατα ἀπὸ σῶν ἀγγείων καὶ ἀπὸ σῶν φρεάτων πηγῆς.

Сы́не, пі́й во́ды ѿ свои́хъ сосꙋ́дѡвъ и҆ ѿ твои́хъ кладенцє́въ и҆сто́чника:

16

Let not waters out of thy fountain be spilt by thee, but let thy waters go into thy streets.

μὴ ὑπερεκχείσθω σοι ὕδατα ἐκ τῆς σῆς πηγῆς, εἰς δὲ σὰς πλατείας διαπορευέσθω τὰ σὰ ὕδατα·

да преизлива́ютсѧ тебѣ̀ во́ды ѿ твоегѡ̀ и҆сто́чника, во твоѧ̑ же пꙋти̑ да происхо́дѧтъ твоѧ̑ во́ды.

17

Let them be only thine own, and let no stranger partake with thee.

ἔστω σοι μόνῳ ὑπάρχοντα, καὶ μηδεὶς ἀλλότριος μετασχέτω σοι·

Да бꙋ́дꙋтъ тебѣ̀ є҆ди́номꙋ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ, и҆ да никто́же чꙋ́ждь причасти́тсѧ тебѣ̀.

18

Let thy fountain of water be [truly] thine own; and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

ἡ πηγή σου τοῦ ὕδατος ἔστω σοι ἰδία, καὶ συνευφραίνου μετὰ γυναικὸς τῆς ἐκ νεότητός σου.

И҆сто́чникъ твоеѧ̀ воды̀ да бꙋ́детъ тебѣ̀ тво́й, и҆ весели́сѧ съ жено́ю, ꙗ҆́же ѿ ю҆́ности твоеѧ̀:

19

Let [thy] loving hart and thy graceful colt company with thee, and let her be considered thine own, and be with thee at all times; for ravished with her love thou shalt be greatly increased.

ἔλαφος φιλίας καὶ πῶλος σῶν χαρίτων ὁμιλείτω σοι· ἡ δὲ ἰδία ἡγείσθω σου καὶ συνέστω σοι ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ, ἐν γὰρ τῇ ταύτης φιλίᾳ συμπεριφερόμενος πολλοστὸς ἔσῃ.

є҆ле́нь любвѐ и҆ жребѧ̀ твои́хъ благода́тей да бесѣ́дꙋетъ тебѣ̀, твоѧ́ же да пред̾и́детъ тебѣ̀ и҆ да бꙋ́детъ съ тобо́ю во всѧ́ко вре́мѧ: въ дрꙋ́жбѣ бо сеѧ̀ спребыва́ѧй ᲂу҆мно́женъ бꙋ́деши.

20

Be not intimate with a strange woman, neither fold thyself in the arms of a woman not thine own.

μὴ πολὺς ἴσθι πρὸς ἀλλοτρίαν, μηδὲ συνέχου ἀγκάλαις τῆς μὴ ἰδίας·

Не мно́гъ бꙋ́ди къ чꙋжде́й, нижѐ ѡ҆б̾ѧ́тъ бꙋ́ди ѡ҆б̾ѧ̑тїи не твоеѧ̀:

21

For the ways of a man are before the eyes of God, and he looks on all his paths.

ἐνώπιον γάρ εἰσι τῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ ὀφθαλμῶν ὁδοὶ ἀνδρός, εἰς δὲ πάσας τὰς τροχιὰς αὐτοῦ σκοπεύει.

пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма бо сꙋ́ть бж҃їима пꙋтїѐ мꙋ́жа, всѧ̑ же течє́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ назира́етъ.

22

Iniquities ensnare a man, and every one is bound in the chains of his own sins.

παρονομίαι ἄνδρα ἀγρεύουσι, σειραῖς δὲ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτιῶν ἕκαστος σφίγγεται·

Законопрестꙋплє́нїѧ мꙋ́жа ᲂу҆ловлѧ́ютъ: плени́цами же свои́хъ грѣхѡ́въ кі́йждо затѧза́етсѧ.

23

Such a man dies with the uninstructed; and he is cast forth from the abundance of his own substance, and has perished through folly.

οὗτος τελευτᾷ μετὰ ἀπαιδεύτων, ἐκ δὲ πλήθους τῆς ἑαυτοῦ βιότητος ἐξερρίφη καὶ ἀπώλετο δι᾿ ἀφροσύνην.

Се́й скончава́етсѧ съ ненака́занными: ѿ мно́жества же своегѡ̀ житїѧ̀ и҆зве́ржетсѧ и҆ погиба́етъ за безꙋ́мїе.

Chapter 6

1

[My] son, if thou become surety for thy friend, thou shalt deliver thine hand to an enemy.

ΥΙΕ, ἐὰν ἐγγυήσῃ σὸν φίλον, παραδώσεις σὴν χεῖρα ἐχθρῷ·

Сы́не, а҆́ще порꙋчи́шисѧ за твоего̀ дрꙋ́га, преда́си твою̀ рꙋ́кꙋ врагꙋ̀.

2

For a man’s own lips become a strong snare to him, and he is caught with the lips of his own mouth.

παγὶς γὰρ ἰσχυρὰ ἀνδρὶ τὰ ἴδια χείλη, καὶ ἁλίσκεται χείλεσιν ἰδίου στόματος.

Сѣ́ть бо крѣпка̀ мꙋ́жꙋ своѝ ᲂу҆стнѣ̀, и҆ плѣнѧ́етсѧ ᲂу҆стна́ми свои́хъ ᲂу҆́стъ.

3

[My] son, do what I command thee, and deliver thyself; for on thy friend’s account thou art come into the power of evil [men]: faint not, but stir up even thy friend for whom thou art become surety.

ποίει, υἱέ, ἃ ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι, καὶ σώζου· ἥκεις γὰρ εἰς χεῖρας κακῶν διὰ σὸν φίλον. ἴσθι μὴ ἐκλυόμενος, παρόξυνε δὲ καὶ τὸν φίλον σου, ὃν ἐνεγγυήσω.

Творѝ, сы́не, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́зъ заповѣ́дꙋю тѝ, и҆ спаса́йсѧ: и҆́деши бо въ рꙋ́цѣ ѕлы́хъ за твоего̀ дрꙋ́га: бꙋ́ди не ѡ҆слабѣва́ѧ, поѡщрѧ́й же и҆ твоего̀ дрꙋ́га, є҆го́же и҆спорꙋчи́лъ є҆сѝ.

Exodus 3.1-8 § 38 (Annunciation)

Exodus 3.1-8 (Annunciation) § 38

Annunciation

1

And Moses was feeding the flock of Jothor his father-in-law, the priest of Madiam; and he brought the sheep nigh to the wilderness, and came to the mount of Choreb.

ΚΑΙ Μωυσῆς ἦν ποιμαίνων τὰ πρόβατα ᾿Ιοθόρ τοῦ γαμβροῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἱερέως Μαδιὰμ καὶ ἤγαγε τὰ πρόβατα ὑπὸ τὴν ἔρημον καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος Χωρήβ.

Мѡѷсе́й же бѧ́ше пасы́й ѻ҆́вцы і҆оѳо́ра те́стѧ своегѡ̀, свѧще́нника мадїа́мска: и҆ гна́ше ѻ҆́вцы въ пꙋсты́ню, и҆ прїи́де въ го́рꙋ бж҃їю хѡри́въ.

2

And an angel of the Lord appeared to him in flaming fire out of the bush, and he sees that the bush burns with fire,-- but the bush was not consumed.

ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐν πυρὶ φλογὸς ἐκ τοῦ βάτου, καὶ ὁρᾷ ὅτι ὁ βάτος καίεται πυρί, ὁ δὲ βάτος οὐ κατεκαίετο.

Ꙗ҆ви́сѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇ень въ пла́мени ѻ҆́гненнѣ и҆з̾ кꙋпины̀: и҆ ви́дитъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ кꙋпина̀ гори́тъ ѻ҆гне́мъ, кꙋпина́ же не сгара́ше.

3

And Moses said, I will go near and see this great sight, why the bush is not consumed.

εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς· παρελθὼν ὄψομαι τὸ ὅραμα τὸ μέγα τοῦτο, ὅτι οὐ κατακαίεται ὁ βάτος.

Рече́ же мѡѷсе́й: мимоше́дъ ᲂу҆ви́ждꙋ видѣ́нїе вели́кое сїѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не сгара́етъ кꙋпина̀.

4

And when the Lord saw that he drew nigh to see, the Lord called him out of the bush, saying, Moses, Moses; and he said, What is it?

ὡς δὲ εἶδε Κύριος ὅτι προσάγει ἰδεῖν, ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν ὁ Κύριος ἐκ τοῦ βάτου λέγων· Μωυσῆ, Μωυσῆ. ὁ δὲ εἶπε· τί ἐστι;

Є҆гда́ же ви́дѣ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ пристꙋпа́етъ ви́дѣти, воззва̀ є҆го̀ гдⷭ҇ь и҆з̾ кꙋпины̀, гл҃ѧ: мѡѷсе́е, мѡѷсе́е. Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: что́ є҆сть, гдⷭ҇и;

5

And he said, Draw not nigh hither: loose thy sandals from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

ὁ δὲ εἶπε· μή ἐγγίσῃς ὧδε. λῦσαι τὸ ὑπόδημα ἐκ τῶν ποδῶν σου· ὁ γὰρ τόπος, ἐν ᾧ σὺ ἕστηκας, γῆ ἁγία ἐστί.

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: не приближа́йсѧ сѣ́мѡ: и҆зꙋ́й сапогѝ ѿ но́гъ твои́хъ: мѣ́сто бо, на не́мже ты̀ стои́ши, землѧ̀ ст҃а̀ є҆́сть.

6

And he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraam, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and Moses turned away his face, for he was afraid to gaze at God.

καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός σου, Θεὸς ῾Αβραὰμ καὶ Θεὸς ᾿Ισαὰκ καὶ Θεὸς ᾿Ιακώβ. ἀπέστρεψε δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ· εὐλαβεῖτο γὰρ κατεμβλέψαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: а҆́зъ є҆́смь бг҃ъ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀, бг҃ъ а҆враа́мовъ и҆ бг҃ъ і҆саа́ковъ и҆ бг҃ъ і҆а́кѡвль. Ѿврати́ же мѡѷсе́й лицѐ своѐ: бл҃гоговѣ́ѧше бо воззрѣ́ти пред̾ бг҃а.

7

And the Lord said to Moses, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and I have heard their cry [caused] by their task-masters; for I know their affliction.

εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· ἰδὼν εἶδον τὴν κάκωσιν τοῦ λαοῦ μου τοῦ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ τῆς κραυγῆς αὐτῶν ἀκήκοα ἀπὸ τῶν ἐργοδιωκτῶν· οἶδα γὰρ τὴν ὀδύνην αὐτῶν,

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: ви́дѧ ви́дѣхъ ѡ҆ѕлобле́нїе люді́й мои́хъ, и҆̀же во є҆гѵ́птѣ, и҆ во́пль и҆́хъ ᲂу҆слы́шахъ ѿ дѣ́лъ приста́вникѡвъ: ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣхъ бо болѣ́знь и҆́хъ,

8

And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites.

καὶ κατέβην ἐξελέσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν Αἰγυπτίων καὶ ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης καὶ εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς γῆν ἀγαθὴν καὶ πολλήν, εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι, εἰς τὸν τόπον τῶν Χαναναίων καὶ Χετταίων καὶ ᾿Αμορραίων καὶ Φερεζαίων καὶ Γεργεσαίων καὶ Εὐαίων καὶ ᾿Ιεβουσαίων

и҆ снидо́хъ и҆з̾ѧ́ти и҆̀хъ ѿ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆гѵ̑петскꙋ, и҆ и҆звестѝ ѧ҆̀ и҆з̾ землѝ тоѧ̀, и҆ ввестѝ и҆̀хъ въ зе́млю бла́гꙋ и҆ мно́гꙋ, въ зе́млю кипѧ́щꙋю млеко́мъ и҆ ме́домъ, въ мѣ́сто ханане́йско и҆ хетте́йско, и҆ а҆морре́йско и҆ ферезе́йско, и҆ гергесе́йско и҆ є҆ѵе́йско и҆ і҆евꙋсе́йско:

22

The Lord made me the beginning of his ways for his works.

Κύριος ἔκτισέ με ἀρχὴν ὁδῶν αὐτοῦ εἰς ἔργα αὐτοῦ,

Гдⷭ҇ь созда́ мѧ {Є҆вр.: стѧжа́ мѧ.} нача́ло пꙋті́й свои́хъ въ дѣла̀ своѧ̑,

23

He established me before time [was] in the beginning, before he made the earth:

πρὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐθεμελίωσέ με ἐν ἀρχῇ, πρὸ τοῦ τὴν γῆν ποιῆσαι

пре́жде вѣ̑къ ѡ҆снова́ мѧ, въ нача́лѣ, пре́жде не́же зе́млю сотвори́ти,

24

even before he made the depths; before the fountains of water came forth:

καὶ πρὸ τοῦ τὰς ἀβύσους ποιῆσαι, πρὸ τοῦ προελθεῖν τὰς πηγὰς τῶν ὑδάτων,

и҆ пре́жде не́же бє́здны содѣ́лати, пре́жде не́же произы́ти и҆сто́чникѡмъ во́дъ,

25

before the mountains were settled, and before all hills, he begets me.

πρὸ τοῦ ὄρη ἑδρασθῆναι, πρὸ δὲ πάντων βουνῶν γεννᾷ με.

пре́жде не́же гора́мъ водрꙋзи́тисѧ, пре́жде же всѣ́хъ холмѡ́въ ражда́етъ мѧ̀.

26

The Lord made countries and uninhabited [tracks], and the highest inhabited parts of the world.

Κύριος ἐποίησε χώρας καὶ ἀοικήτους καὶ ἄκρα οἰκούμενα τῆς ὑπ᾿ οὐρανόν.

Гдⷭ҇ь сотворѝ страны̑ и҆ ненаселє́нныѧ, и҆ концы̑ населє́нныѧ поднебе́сныѧ.

27

When he prepared the heaven, I was present with him; and when he prepared his throne upon the winds:

ἡνίκα ἡτοίμαζε τὸν οὐρανόν, συμπαρήμην αὐτῷ, καὶ ὅτε ἀφώριζε τὸν ἑαυτοῦ θρόνον ἐπ᾿ ἀνέμων·

Є҆гда̀ гото́вѧше не́бо, съ ни́мъ бѣ́хъ, и҆ є҆гда̀ ѿлꙋча́ше прⷭ҇то́лъ сво́й на вѣ́трѣхъ,

28

and when he strengthened the clouds above; and when he secured the fountains of the earth:

ἡνίκα ἰσχυρὰ ἐποίει τὰ ἄνω νέφη, καὶ ὡς ἀσφαλεῖς ἐτίθει πηγὰς τῆς ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν

и҆ є҆гда̀ крѣ̑пки творѧ́ше вы̑шнїѧ ѡ҆́блаки, и҆ є҆гда̀ твє́рды полага́ше и҆сто́чники поднебе́сныѧ,

29

[see Appendix] and when he strengthened the foundations of the earth:

καὶ ἰσχυρὰ ἐποίει τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς,

и҆ є҆гда̀ полага́ше мо́рю предѣ́лъ є҆гѡ̀, да во́ды не мимои́дꙋтъ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ крѣ̑пка творѧ́ше ѡ҆снова̑нїѧ землѝ, бѣ́хъ при не́мъ ᲂу҆строѧ́ющи.

30

I was by him, suiting [myself to him], I was that wherein he took delight; and daily I rejoiced in his presence continually.

ἤμην παρ᾿ αὐτῷ ἁρμόζουσα. ἐγὼ ἤμην ᾗ προσέχαιρε, καθ᾿ ἡμέραν δὲ εὐφραινόμην ἐν προσώπῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ,

А҆́зъ бѣ́хъ, ѡ҆ не́йже ра́довашесѧ, на всѧ́къ же де́нь веселѧ́хсѧ пред̾ лице́мъ є҆гѡ̀ на всѧ́ко вре́мѧ,

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:

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.

Hours Isaiah 5.16-25 § 125

Isaiah 5.16-25 § 125
16

But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be glorified in righteousness.

καὶ ὑψωθήσεται Κύριος σαβαὼθ ἐν κρίματι, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ἅγιος δοξασθήσεται ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ.

И҆ вознесе́тсѧ гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ въ сꙋдѣ̀, и҆ бг҃ъ ст҃ы́й просла́витсѧ въ пра́вдѣ:

17

And they that were spoiled shall be fed as bulls, and lambs shall feed on the waste places of them that are taken away.

καὶ βοσκηθήσονται οἱ διηρπασμένοι ὡς ταῦροι, καὶ τὰς ἐρήμους τῶν ἀπειλημμένων ἄρνες φάγονται.

и҆ ᲂу҆пасꙋ́тсѧ расхище́ннїи ꙗ҆́кѡ ю҆нцы̀, и҆ пꙋсты̑ни плѣне́нныхъ а҆́гнцы поѧдѧ́тъ.

18

Woe [to them] that draw sins to them as with a long rope, and iniquities as with a thong of the heifer’s yoke:

οὐαὶ οἱ ἐπισπώμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὡς σχοινίῳ μακρῷ καὶ ὡς ζυγοῦ ἱμάντι δαμάλεως τὰς ἀνομίας,

Го́ре привлача́ющымъ грѣхѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́жемъ до́лгимъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́га ю҆́нична реме́немъ беззакѡ́нїѧ своѧ̑,

19

who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know [it].

οἱ λέγοντες· τὸ τάχος ἐγγισάτω ἃ ποιήσει, ἵνα ἴδωμεν, καὶ ἐλθάτω ἡ βουλὴ τοῦ ἁγίου ᾿Ισραήλ, ἵνα γνῶμεν.

глаго́лющымъ: ско́рѡ да прибли́жатсѧ, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́тъ, да ви́димъ, и҆ да прїи́детъ совѣ́тъ ст҃а́гѡ і҆и҃лева, да разꙋмѣ́емъ.

20

Woe [to them] that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.

Οὐαὶ οἱ λέγοντες τὸ πονηρὸν καλὸν καὶ τὸ καλὸν πονηρόν, οἱ τιθέντες τὸ σκότος φῶς καὶ τὸ φῶς σκότος, οἱ τιθέντες τὸ πικρὸν γλυκὺ καὶ τὸ γλυκὺ πικρόν.

Го́ре глаго́лющымъ лꙋка́вое до́брое, и҆ до́брое лꙋка́вое, полага́ющымъ тьмꙋ̀ свѣ́тъ, и҆ свѣ́тъ тьмꙋ̀, полага́ющымъ го́рькое сла́дкое, и҆ сла́дкое го́рькое.

21

Woe [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight.

Οὐαὶ οἱ συνετοὶ ἑαυτοῖς καὶ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἐπιστήμονες.

Го́ре, и҆̀же мꙋ́дри въ себѣ̀ сами́хъ и҆ пред̾ собо́ю разꙋ́мни.

22

Woe to the strong [ones] of you that drink wine, and the mighty [ones] that mingle strong drink:

οὐαὶ οἱ ἰσχύοντες ὑμῶν, οἱ πίνοντες τὸν οἶνον καὶ οἱ δυνάσται οἱ κεραννύντες τὰ σίκερα,

Го́ре крѣ̑пкимъ ва́шымъ, вїно̀ пїю́щымъ, и҆ вельмо́жамъ растворѧ́ющымъ сїке́ръ,

23

who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous.

οἱ δικαιοῦντες τὸν ἀσεβῆ ἕνεκεν δώρων καὶ τὸ δίκαιον τοῦ δικαίου αἴροντες.

ѡ҆правда́ющымъ нечести́ва дарѡ́въ ра́ди, и҆ є҆́же є҆́сть првⷣное првⷣнагѡ взе́млющымъ ѿ негѡ̀.

24

Therefore as stubble shall be burnt by a coal of fire, and shall be consumed by a violent flame, their root shall be as chaff, and their flower shall go up as dust: for they rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and insulted the word of the Holy One of Israel.

διὰ τοῦτο ὃν τρόπον καυθήσεται καλάμη ὑπὸ ἄνθρακος πυρὸς καὶ συγκαυθήσεται ὑπὸ φλογὸς ἀνειμένης, ἡ ῥίζα αὐτῶν ὡς χνοῦς ἔσται καὶ τὸ ἄνθος αὐτῶν ὡς κονιορτὸς ἀναβήσεται· οὐ γὰρ ἠθέλησαν τὸν νόμον Κυρίου σαβαώθ, ἀλλὰ τὸ λόγιον τοῦ ἁγίου ᾿Ισραὴλ παρώξυναν.

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ꙗ҆́коже сгори́тъ тро́сть ѿ ᲂу҆́глїѧ ѻ҆́гненнагѡ и҆ сожже́тсѧ ѿ пла́мене разгорѣ́вшагѡсѧ, ко́рень и҆́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ пе́рсть бꙋ́детъ, и҆ цвѣ́тъ и҆́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ пра́хъ взы́детъ: не восхотѣ́ша бо зако́на гдⷭ҇а саваѡ́ѳа, но сло́во ст҃а́гѡ і҆и҃лева раздражи́ша.

25

Therefore the Lord of hosts was greatly angered against his people, and he reached forth his hand upon them, and smote them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcasses were as dung in the midst of the way: yet for all this his anger has not been turned away, but his hand is yet raised.

καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Κύριος σαβαὼθ ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέβαλε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτούς, καὶ παρωξύνθη τὰ ὄρη, καὶ ἐγενήθη τὰ θνησιμαῖα αὐτῶν ὡς κοπρία ἐν μέσῳ ὁδοῦ. καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις οὐκ ἀπεστράφη ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ ἔτι χεὶρ ὑψηλή.

И҆ воз̾ѧри́сѧ гнѣ́вомъ гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ на лю́ди своѧ̑, и҆ наложѝ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ на ни́хъ, и҆ поразѝ и҆̀хъ: и҆ раздражи́шасѧ го́ры, и҆ бы́ша трꙋ́пи и҆́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ гно́й посредѣ̀ пꙋтѝ. И҆ во всѣ́хъ си́хъ не ѿврати́сѧ ꙗ҆́рость є҆гѡ̀, но є҆щѐ рꙋка̀ є҆гѡ̀ высока̀.

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.

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.
