1 Corinthians 1:1–9
§ 122
1 Corinthians 1:1–9 § 122
Paul, called to be an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sósthenes our brother, to the Church of God which is at Córinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given to you by Christ Jesus; that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, so that you come short in no gift, as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by Whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Matthew 13.24-30
§ 52
Matthew 13.24-30 § 52
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Ἄλλην παραβολὴν παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων· ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ σπείραντι καλὸν σπέρμα ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ·
[Заⷱ҇ 52] И҆́нꙋ при́тчꙋ предложѝ и҆̀мъ, гл҃ѧ: ᲂу҆подо́бисѧ црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное человѣ́кꙋ, сѣ́ѧвшꙋ до́брое сѣ́мѧ на селѣ̀ свое́мъ:
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
ἐν δὲ τῷ καθεύδειν τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἦλθεν αὐτοῦ ὁ ἐχθρὸς καὶ ἔσπειρε ζιζάνια ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σίτου καὶ ἀπῆλθεν.
спѧ́щымъ же человѣ́кѡмъ, прїи́де вра́гъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ всѣ́ѧ пле́велы посредѣ̀ пшени́цы и҆ ѿи́де:
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
ὅτε δὲ ἐβλάστησεν ὁ χόρτος καὶ καρπὸν ἐποίησε, τότε ἐφάνη καὶ τὰ ζιζάνια.
є҆гда́ же прозѧбѐ трава̀ и҆ пло́дъ сотворѝ, тогда̀ ꙗ҆ви́шасѧ и҆ пле́велїе.
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
προσελθόντες δὲ οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ οἰκοδεσπότου εἶπον αὐτῷ· κύριε, οὐχὶ καλὸν σπέρμα ἔσπειρας ἐν τῷ σῷ ἀγρῷ; πόθεν οὖν ἔχει ζιζάνια;
Прише́дше же рабѝ господи́на, рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: го́споди, не до́брое ли сѣ́мѧ сѣ́ѧлъ є҆сѝ на селѣ̀ твое́мъ; ѿкꙋ́дꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆́мать пле́велы;
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
ὁ δὲ ἔφη αὐτοῖς· ἐχθρὸς ἄνθρωπος τοῦτο ἐποίησεν. οἱ δὲ δοῦλοι εἶπον αὐτῷ· θέλεις οὖν ἀπελθόντες συλλέξωμεν αὐτά;
Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ и҆̀мъ: вра́гъ человѣ́къ сїѐ сотворѝ. Раби́ же рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: хо́щеши ли ᲂу҆̀бо, да ше́дше и҆сплеве́мъ ѧ҆̀;
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
ὁ δὲ ἔφη· οὔ, μήποτε συλλέγοντες τὰ ζιζάνια ἐκριζώσητε ἅμα αὐτοῖς τὸν σῖτον·
Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ (и҆̀мъ): нѝ: да не когда̀ восторга́юще пле́велы, восто́ргнете кꙋ́пнѡ съ ни́ми (и҆) пшени́цꙋ:
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
ἄφετε συναυξάνεσθαι ἀμφότερα μέχρι τοῦ θερισμοῦ, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ τοῦ θερισμοῦ ἐρῶ τοῖς θερισταῖς· συλλέξατε πρῶτον τὰ ζιζάνια καὶ δήσατε αὐτὰ εἰς δέσμας πρὸς τὸ κατακαῦσαι αὐτά, τὸν δὲ σῖτον συναγάγετε εἰς τὴν ἀποθήκην μου.
ѡ҆ста́вите растѝ ѻ҆боѐ кꙋ́пнѡ до жа́твы: и҆ во вре́мѧ жа́твы рекꙋ̀ жа́телємъ: собери́те пе́рвѣе пле́велы и҆ свѧжи́те и҆̀хъ въ снопы̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ сожещѝ ѧ҆̀: а҆ пшени́цꙋ собери́те въ жи́тницꙋ мою̀.
