Genesis 10.32-11.9 § 19

Genesis 10.32-11.9 § 19

Chapter 10

32

These are the tribes of the sons of Noe, according to their generations, according to their nations: of them were the islands of the Gentiles scattered over the earth after the flood.

Αὗται αἱ φυλαὶ υἱῶν Νῶε κατὰ γενέσεις αὐτῶν, κατὰ ἔθνη αὐτῶν· ἀπὸ τούτων διεσπάρησαν νῆσοι τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς μετὰ τὸν κατακλυσμόν.

Сїѧ̑ племена̀ сынѡ́въ нѡ́евыхъ по родѡ́мъ и҆́хъ, по ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ и҆́хъ: ѿ си́хъ разсѣ́ѧшасѧ ѻ҆́строви ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ на землѝ по пото́пѣ.

Chapter 11

1

AND all the earth was one lip, and there was one language to all.

ΚΑΙ ἦν πᾶσα ἡ γῆ χεῖλος ἕν, καὶ φωνὴ μία πᾶσι.

И҆ бѣ̀ всѧ̀ землѧ̀ ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ є҆ди̑нѣ, и҆ гла́съ є҆ди́нъ всѣ̑мъ.

2

And it came to pass as they moved from the east, they found a plain in the land of Senaar, and they dwelt there.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κινῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν, εὗρον πεδίον ἐν γῇ Σενναὰρ καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ.

И҆ бы́сть внегда̀ поитѝ и҆̀мъ ѿ востѡ́къ, ѡ҆брѣто́ша по́ле въ землѝ сеннаа́рстѣй и҆ всели́шасѧ та́мѡ.

3

And a man said to his neighbour, Come, let us make bricks and bake them with fire. And the brick was to them for stone, and their mortar was bitumen.

καὶ εἶπεν ἄνθρωπος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ· δεῦτε πλινθεύσωμεν πλίνθους καὶ ὀπτήσωμεν αὐτὰς πυρί. καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς ἡ πλίνθος εἰς λίθον, καὶ ἄσφαλτος ἦν αὐτοῖς ὁ πηλός.

И҆ речѐ человѣ́къ бли́жнемꙋ своемꙋ̀: прїиди́те, сотвори́мъ плі̑нѳы и҆ и҆спече́мъ и҆̀хъ ѻ҆гне́мъ. И҆ бы́сть и҆̀мъ плі́нѳа въ ка́мень, и҆ бре́нїе вмѣ́стѡ мѣ́ла.

4

And they said, Come, let us build to ourselves a city and tower, whose top shall be to heaven, and let us make to ourselves a name, before we are scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth.

καὶ εἶπαν· δεῦτε οἰκοδομήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς πόλιν καὶ πύργον, οὗ ἔσται ἡ κεφαλὴ ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς ὄνομα πρὸ τοῦ διασπαρῆναι ἡμᾶς ἐπὶ προσώπου πάσης τῆς γῆς.

И҆ реко́ша: прїиди́те, сози́ждемъ себѣ̀ гра́дъ и҆ сто́лпъ, є҆гѡ́же ве́рхъ бꙋ́детъ да́же до небесѐ: и҆ сотвори́мъ себѣ̀ и҆́мѧ, пре́жде не́же разсѣ́ѧтисѧ на́мъ по лицꙋ̀ всеѧ̀ землѝ.

5

And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.

καὶ κατέβη Κύριος ἰδεῖν τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων.

И҆ сни́де гдⷭ҇ь ви́дѣти гра́дъ и҆ сто́лпъ, є҆го́же созида́ша сы́нове человѣ́честїи.

6

And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.

καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· ἰδοὺ γένος ἓν καὶ χεῖλος ἓν πάντων, καὶ τοῦτο ἤρξαντο ποιῆσαι, καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἐκλείψει ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν πάντα, ὅσα ἂν ἐπιθῶνται ποιεῖν.

И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: сѐ, ро́дъ є҆ди́нъ, и҆ ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ є҆ди̑нѣ всѣ́хъ, и҆ сїѐ нача́ша твори́ти: и҆ нн҃ѣ не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ютъ ѿ ни́хъ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще восхотѧ́тъ твори́ти.

7

Come, and having gone down let us there confound their tongue, that they may not understand each the voice of his neighbour.

δεῦτε καὶ καταβάντες συγχέωμεν αὐτῶν ἐκεῖ τὴν γλῶσσαν, ἵνα μὴ ἀκούσωσιν ἕκαστος τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ πλησίον.

Прїиди́те, и҆ соше́дше смѣси́мъ та́мѡ ѧ҆зы́къ и҆́хъ, да не ᲂу҆слы́шатъ кі́йждо гла́са бли́жнѧгѡ (своегѡ̀).

8

And the Lord scattered them thence over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city and the tower.

καὶ διέσπειρεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐκεῖθεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐπαύσαντο οἰκοδομοῦντες τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸν πύργον.

И҆ разсѣ́ѧ и҆̀хъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ гдⷭ҇ь по лицꙋ̀ всеѧ̀ землѝ: и҆ преста́ша зи́ждꙋще гра́дъ и҆ сто́лпъ.

9

On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.

διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Σύγχυσις, ὅτι ἐκεῖ συνέχεε Κύριος τὰ χείλη πάσης τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐκεῖθεν διέσπειρεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς.

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди нарече́сѧ и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ смѣше́нїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́мѡ смѣсѝ гдⷭ҇ь ᲂу҆стна̀ всеѧ̀ землѝ, и҆ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ разсѣ́ѧ и҆̀хъ гдⷭ҇ь по лицꙋ̀ всеѧ̀ землѝ.

Proverbs 13.19-14.6 § 88

Proverbs 13.19-14.6 § 88

Chapter 13

19

The desires of the godly gladden the soul, but the works of the ungodly are far from knowledge.

ἐπιθυμίαι εὐσεβῶν ἡδύνουσι ψυχήν, ἔργα δὲ ἀσεβῶν μακρὰν ἀπὸ γνώσεως.

Нищетꙋ̀ и҆ безче́стїе ѿе́млетъ наказа́нїе: хранѧ́й же ѡ҆бличє́нїѧ просла́витсѧ.

20

If thou walkest with wise men thou shalt be wise: but he that walks with fools shall be known.

ὁ συμπορευόμενος σοφοῖς σοφὸς ἔσται, ὁ δὲ συμπορευόμενος ἄφροσι γνωσθήσεται.

Жела̑нїѧ бл҃гочести́выхъ наслажда́ютъ дꙋ́шꙋ, дѣла́ же нечести́выхъ дале́че ѿ ра́зꙋма.

21

Evil shall pursue sinners; but good shall overtake the righteous.

ἁμαρτάνοντας καταδιώξεται κακά, τοὺς δὲ δικαίους καταλήψεται ἀγαθά.

Ходѧ́й съ премꙋ́дрыми премꙋ́дръ бꙋ́детъ, ходѧ́й же съ безꙋ́мными позна́нъ бꙋ́детъ.

22

A good man shall inherit children’s children; and the wealth of ungodly men is laid up for the just.

ἀγαθὸς ἀνὴρ κληρονομήσει υἱοὺς υἱῶν, θησαυρίζεται δὲ δικαίοις πλοῦτος ἀσεβῶν.

Согрѣша́ющихъ пости́гнꙋтъ ѕла̑ѧ, првⷣныхъ же пости́гнꙋтъ бл҃га̑ѧ.

23

The righteous shall spend many years in wealth: but the unrighteous shall perish suddenly.

δίκαιοι ποιήσουσιν ἐν πλούτῳ ἔτη πολλά, ἄδικοι δὲ ἀπολοῦνται συντόμως.

Бл҃гъ мꙋ́жъ наслѣ́дитъ сы́ны сынѡ́въ: сокро́вищствꙋетсѧ же првⷣнымъ бога́тство нечести́выхъ.

24

He that spares the rod hates his son: but he that loves, carefully chastens [him].

ὃς φείδεται τῆς βακτηρίας μισεῖ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν ἐπιμελῶς παιδεύει.

Првⷣнїи насладѧ́тсѧ въ бога́тствѣ лѣ̑та мнѡ́га: непра́веднїи же поги́бнꙋтъ вско́рѣ.

25

A just [man] eats and satisfies his soul: but the souls of the ungodly are in want.

δίκαιος ἔσθων ἐμπιπλᾷ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, ψυχαὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν ἐνδεεῖς.

И҆́же щади́тъ же́злъ (сво́й), ненави́дитъ сы́на своего̀: любѧ́й же наказꙋ́етъ прилѣ́жнѡ.

Chapter 14

1

Wise women build houses: but a foolish one digs [hers] down with her hands.

ΣΟΦΑΙ γυναῖκες ᾠκοδόμησαν οἴκους, ἡ δὲ ἄφρων κατέσκαψε ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς.

Мꙋ̑дрыѧ жєны̀ созда́ша до́мы: безꙋ́мнаѧ же раскопа̀ рꙋка́ма свои́ма.

2

He that walks uprightly fears the Lord; but he that is perverse in his ways shall be dishonoured.

ὁ πορευόμενος ὀρθῶς φοβεῖται τὸν Κύριον, ὁ δὲ σκολιάζων ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ ἀτιμασθήσεται.

Ходѧ́й пра́вѡ бои́тсѧ гдⷭ҇а: развраща́ѧй же пꙋти̑ своѧ̑ ѡ҆безче́ститсѧ.

3

Out of the mouth of fools [comes] a rod of pride; but the lips of the wise preserve them.

ἐκ στόματος ἀφρόνων βακτηρία ὕβρεως, χείλη δὲ σοφῶν φυλάσσει αὐτούς.

И҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ безꙋ́мныхъ же́злъ досажде́нїѧ: ᲂу҆стнѣ́ же мꙋ́дрыхъ хранѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀.

4

Where no oxen are, the cribs are clean; but where there is abundant produce, the strength of the ox is apparent.

οὗ μή εἰσι βόες, φάτναι καθαραί· οὗ δὲ πολλὰ γεννήματα, φανερὰ βοὸς ἰσχύς.

И҆дѣ́же нѣ́сть волѡ́въ, ꙗ҆́сли чи̑сты: а҆ и҆дѣ́же жи̑та мнѡ́га, ꙗ҆́вна волꙋ̀ крѣ́пость.

5

A faithful witness does not lie; but an unjust witness kindles falsehoods.

μάρτυς πιστὸς οὐ ψεύδεται, ἐκκαίει δὲ ψευδῆ μάρτυς ἄδικος.

Свидѣ́тель вѣ́ренъ не лже́тъ: разжиза́етъ же лѡ́жнаѧ свидѣ́тель непра́веденъ.

6

Thou shalt seek wisdom with bad men, and shalt not find it; but discretion is easily available with the prudent.

ζητήσεις σοφίαν παρὰ κακοῖς καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσεις, αἴσθησις δὲ παρὰ φρονίμοις εὐχερής.

Взы́щеши премꙋ́дрости ᲂу҆ ѕлы́хъ, и҆ не ѡ҆брѧ́щеши: чꙋ́вство же ᲂу҆ мꙋ́дрыхъ ᲂу҆до́бно.

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,

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.

Isaiah 28.14-22 § 141
14

Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, ye afflicted men, and ye princes of this people that is in Jerusalem.

διὰ τοῦτο ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου, ἄνδρες τεθλιμμένοι καὶ ἄρχοντες τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου τοῦ ἐν ᾿Ιερουσαλήμ·

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ᲂу҆слы́шите сло́во гдⷭ҇не, мꙋ́жїе ѡ҆ѕло́бленнїи и҆ кнѧ̑зи люді́й сꙋ́щихъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.

15

Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with Hades, and agreements with death; if the rushing storm should pass, it shall not come upon us: we have made falsehood our hope, and by falsehood shall we be protected:

ὅτι εἴπατε· ἐποιήσαμεν διαθήκην μετὰ τοῦ ᾅδου καὶ μετὰ τοῦ θανάτου συνθήκας, καταιγὶς φερομένη ἐὰν παρέλθῃ οὐ μὴ ἔλθῃ ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς· ἐθήκαμεν ψεῦδος τὴν ἐλπίδα ἡμῶν καὶ τῷ ψεύδει σκεπασθησόμεθα.

Ꙗ҆́кѡ реко́сте: сотвори́хомъ завѣ́тъ со а҆́домъ и҆ со сме́ртїю сложе́нїе: бꙋ́рѧ носи́ма а҆́ще мимои́детъ, не прїи́детъ на на́съ: положи́хомъ лжꙋ̀ наде́ждꙋ на́шꙋ и҆ лже́ю покры́емсѧ.

16

Therefore thus saith the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lay for the foundations of Sion a costly stone, a choice, a corner-stone, a precious [stone], for its foundations; and he that believes [on him] shall by no means be ashamed.

διὰ τοῦτο οὕτω λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐμβαλῶ εἰς τὰ θεμέλια Σιὼν λίθον πολυτελῆ ἐκλεκτὸν ἀκρογωνιαῖον, ἔντιμον, εἰς τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς, καὶ ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ.

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: сѐ, а҆́зъ полага́ю во ѡ҆снова́нїе сїѡ́нꙋ ка́мень многоцѣ́ненъ, и҆збра́нъ, краеꙋго́ленъ, чтⷭ҇енъ, во ѡ҆снова́нїе є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ вѣ́рꙋѧй во́нь не постыди́тсѧ:

17

And I will cause judgment [to be] for hope, and my compassion shall be for [just] measures, and ye that trust vainly in falsehood [shall fall]: for the storm shall by no means pass by you,

καὶ θήσω κρίσιν εἰς ἐλπίδα, ἡ δὲ ἐλεημοσύνη μου εἰς σταθμούς, καὶ οἱ πεποιθότες μάτην ψεύδει· ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ὑμᾶς καταιγίς,

и҆ положꙋ̀ сꙋ́дъ въ наде́ждꙋ, млⷭ҇ть же моѧ̀ на мѣ́рилѣхъ, и҆ ᲂу҆пова́вшїи вотщѐ на лжꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не мине́тъ ва́съ бꙋ́рѧ:

18

except it also take away your covenant of death, and your trust in Hades shall by no means stand: if the rushing storm should come upon you, ye shall be beaten down by it.

μὴ καὶ ἀφέλῃ ὑμῶν τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ θανάτου, καὶ ἡ ἐλπὶς ὑμῶν ἡ πρὸς τὸν ᾅδην οὐ μὴ ἐμμείνῃ· καταιγὶς φερομένη ἐὰν ἐπέλθῃ, ἔσεσθε αὐτῇ εἰς καταπάτημα.

и҆ не ѿи́метъ ѿ ва́съ завѣ́та сме́ртнагѡ, и҆ наде́жда ва́ша, ꙗ҆́же ко а҆́дꙋ, не пребꙋ́детъ. Бꙋ́рѧ и҆дꙋ́щаѧ а҆́ще на́йдетъ, бꙋ́дете є҆́й въ попра́нїе:

19

Whenever it shall pass by, it shall take you; morning by morning it shall pass by in the day, and in the night there shall be an evil hope. Learn to hear,

ὅταν παρέλθῃ, λήψεται ὑμᾶς· πρωΐ πρωΐ παρελεύσεται ἡμέρας, καὶ ἐν νυκτὶ ἔσται ἐλπὶς πονηρά· μάθετε ἀκούειν,

є҆гда̀ мимои́детъ, во́зметъ ва́съ: ꙗ҆́кѡ по всѧ́ко ᲂу҆́тро преходи́ти бꙋ́детъ въ де́нь, и҆ въ нощѝ бꙋ́детъ наде́жда ѕла̀. Наꙋчи́тесѧ слы́шати, ᲂу҆тѣснѧ́емїи:

20

ye that are distressed; we cannot fight, but we are ourselves too weak for you to be gathered.

στενοχωρούμενοι οὐ δυνάμεθα μάχεσθαι, αὐτοὶ δὲ ἀσθενοῦμεν τοῦ ὑμᾶς συναχθῆναι.

не мо́жемъ ра́товати, са́ми же и҆знемога́емъ, є҆́же собра́тисѧ на́мъ.

21

The Lord shall rise up as a mountain of ungodly [men], and shall be in the valley of Gabaon; he shall perform his works with wrath, [even] a work of bitterness, and his wrath shall deal strangely, and his destruction shall be strange.

ὥσπερ ὄρος ἀσεβῶν ἀναστήσεται Κύριος, καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ φάραγγι Γαβαών· μετὰ θυμοῦ ποιήσει τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, πικρίας ἔργον· ὁ δὲ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ ἀλλοτρίως χρήσεται, καὶ ἡ πικρία αὐτοῦ ἀλλοτρία.

Ꙗ҆́коже гора̀ на нечести́выхъ воста́нетъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ бꙋ́детъ (ꙗ҆́коже) въ де́бри гаваѡ́нстѣй, съ ꙗ҆́ростїю сотвори́тъ дѣла̀ своѧ̑, го́рести дѣ́ло: ꙗ҆́рость же є҆гѡ̀ чꙋ́ждѡ ᲂу҆потреби́тсѧ, и҆ погꙋбле́нїе є҆гѡ̀ стра́нно.

22

Therefore do not ye rejoice, neither let your bands be made strong; for I have heard of works finished and cut short by the Lord of hosts, which he will execute upon all the earth.

καὶ ὑμεῖς μὴ εὐφρανθείητε, μηδὲ ἰσχυσάτωσαν ὑμῶν οἱ δεσμοὶ διότι συντετελεσμένα καὶ συντετμημένα πράγματα ἤκουσα παρὰ Κυρίου σαβαώθ, ἃ ποιήσει ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.

И҆ вы̀ не ра́дꙋйтесѧ, нижѐ да возмо́гꙋтъ ва́ши ᲂу҆́зы: занѐ сконча̑ны и҆ сокращє́ны вє́щи слы́шахъ ѿ гдⷭ҇а саваѡ́ѳа, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́тъ над̾ все́ю земле́ю.

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.
