Matins Matthew 28.16-20 § 116

Matthew 28.16-20 § 116
16

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

Οἱ δὲ ἕνδεκα μαθηταὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν, εἰς τὸ ὄρος οὗ ἐτάξατο αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς.

[Заⷱ҇ 116] Є҆ди́нїи же на́десѧте ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ и҆до́ша въ галїле́ю, въ го́рꙋ, а҆́може повелѣ̀ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ:

17

And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ, οἱ δὲ ἐδίστασαν.

и҆ ви́дѣвше є҆го̀, поклони́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀: ѻ҆́ви же ᲂу҆сꙋмнѣ́шасѧ.

18

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς λέγων· ἐδόθη μοι πᾶσα ἐξουσία ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς.

И҆ пристꙋ́пль і҆и҃съ, речѐ и҆̀мъ, гл҃ѧ: даде́сѧ мѝ всѧ́ка вла́сть на нб҃сѝ и҆ на землѝ:

19

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

πορευθέντες μαθητεύσατε πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, βαπτίζοντες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος,

ше́дше ᲂу҆̀бо наꙋчи́те всѧ̑ ꙗ҆зы́ки, крⷭ҇тѧ́ще и҆̀хъ во и҆́мѧ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ и҆ сн҃а и҆ ст҃а́гѡ дх҃а,

20

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

διδάσκοντες αὐτοὺς τηρεῖν πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν εἰμι πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἕως τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος. Ἀμήν.

ᲂу҆ча́ще и҆̀хъ блюстѝ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка заповѣ́дахъ ва́мъ: и҆ сѐ, а҆́зъ съ ва́ми є҆́смь во всѧ̑ дни̑ до сконча́нїѧ вѣ́ка. А҆ми́нь.

Ephesians 2:4–10 § 220

Ephesians 2:4–10 § 220

Brethren, God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

Hebrews 13:7–16 § 334 (St Alexander)

Hebrews 13:7–16 (St Alexander) § 334

St Alexander

Brethren, remember them which rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever… Do not be carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with meats which have not profited those who have been occupied with them. We have an Altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own Blood, suffered outside the gate. Therefore let us go forth unto Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Luke 17.12-19 § 85

Luke 17.12-19 § 85

12

And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

καὶ εἰσερχομένου αὐτοῦ εἴς τινα κώμην ἀπήντησαν αὐτῷ δέκα λεπροὶ ἄνδρες, οἳ ἔστησαν πόρρωθεν,

[Заⷱ҇ 85] Входѧ́щꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀ въ нѣ́кꙋю ве́сь, срѣто́ша є҆го̀ де́сѧть прокаже́нныхъ мꙋже́й, и҆̀же ста́ша и҆здале́ча:

13

And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

καὶ αὐτοὶ ἦραν φωνὴν λέγοντες· Ἰησοῦ ἐπιστάτα, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.

и҆ ті́и вознесо́ша гла́съ, глаго́люще: і҆и҃се наста́вниче, поми́лꙋй ны̀.

14

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

καὶ ἰδὼν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· πορευθέντες ἐπιδείξατε ἑαυτοὺς τοῖς ἱερεῦσι. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ὑπάγειν αὐτοὺς ἐκαθαρίσθησαν.

И҆ ви́дѣвъ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ше́дше покажи́тесѧ свѧще́нникѡмъ. И҆ бы́сть и҆дꙋ́щымъ и҆̀мъ, ѡ҆чи́стишасѧ.

15

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

εἷς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν, ἰδὼν ὅτι ἰάθη, ὑπέστρεψε μετὰ φωνῆς μεγάλης δοξάζων τὸν Θεόν,

Є҆ди́нъ же ѿ ни́хъ, ви́дѣвъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆сцѣлѣ̀, возврати́сѧ, со гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ сла́вѧ бг҃а,

16

And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ εὐχαριστῶν αὐτῷ· καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν Σαμαρείτης.

и҆ падѐ ни́цъ при ногꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, хвалꙋ̀ є҆мꙋ̀ воздаѧ̀: и҆ то́й бѣ̀ самарѧни́нъ.

17

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· οὐχὶ οἱ δέκα ἐκαθαρίσθησαν; οἱ δὲ ἐννέα ποῦ;

Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆и҃съ речѐ: не де́сѧть ли ѡ҆чи́стишасѧ; да де́вѧть гдѣ̀;

18

There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

οὐχ εὑρέθησαν ὑποστρέψαντες δοῦναι δόξαν τῷ Θεῷ εἰ μὴ ὁ ἀλλογενὴς οὗτος;

ка́кѡ не ѡ҆брѣто́шасѧ возвра́щшесѧ да́ти сла́вꙋ бг҃ꙋ, то́кмѡ и҆ноплеме́нникъ се́й;

19

And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀναστὰς πορεύου· ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε.

И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: воста́въ и҆дѝ: вѣ́ра твоѧ̀ сп҃се́ тѧ.

Luke 12.32-40 § 67 (St Alexander)

Luke 12.32-40 (St Alexander) § 67

St Alexander

32

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

μὴ φοβοῦ τὸ μικρὸν ποίμνιον· ὅτι εὐδόκησεν ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν δοῦναι ὑμῖν τὴν βασιλείαν.

[Заⷱ҇ 67] Не бо́йсѧ, ма́лое ста́до: ꙗ҆́кѡ бл҃гоизво́ли ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ да́ти ва́мъ црⷭ҇тво.

33

Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

Πωλήσατε τὰ ὑπάρχοντα ὑμῶν καὶ δότε ἐλεημοσύνην. ποιήσατε ἑαυτοῖς βαλλάντια μὴ παλαιούμενα, θησαυρὸν ἀνέκλειπτον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ὅπου κλέπτης οὐκ ἐγγίζει οὐδὲ σὴς διαφθείρει·

Продади́те и҆мѣ̑нїѧ ва̑ша и҆ дади́те ми́лостыню. Сотвори́те себѣ̀ влага̑лища неветша̑юща, сокро́вище неѡскꙋдѣ́емо на нб҃сѣ́хъ, и҆дѣ́же та́ть не приближа́етсѧ, ни мо́ль растлѣва́етъ.

34

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

ὅπου γάρ ἐστιν ὁ θησαυρὸς ὑμῶν, ἐκεῖ καὶ ἡ καρδία ὑμῶν ἔσται.

И҆дѣ́же бо сокро́вище ва́ше, тꙋ̀ и҆ се́рдце ва́ше бꙋ́детъ.

35

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

ἔστωσαν ὑμῶν αἱ ὀσφύες περιεζωσμέναι καὶ οἱ λύχνοι καιόμενοι·

Да бꙋ́дꙋтъ чрє́сла ва̑ша препоѧ̑сана, и҆ свѣти́льницы горѧ́щїи:

36

And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

καὶ ὑμεῖς ὅμοιοι ἀνθρώποις προσδεχομένοις τὸν κύριον ἑαυτῶν, πότε ἀναλύσει ἐκ τῶν γάμων, ἵνα ἐλθόντος καὶ κρούσαντος εὐθέως ἀνοίξωσιν αὐτῷ.

и҆ вы̀ подо́бни человѣ́кѡмъ ча́ющымъ го́спода своегѡ̀, когда̀ возврати́тсѧ ѿ бра́ка, да прише́дшꙋ и҆ толкнꙋ́вшꙋ, а҆́бїе ѿве́рзꙋтъ є҆мꙋ̀.

37

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

μακάριοι οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι, οὓς ἐλθὼν ὁ κύριος εὑρήσει γρηγοροῦντας. ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι περιζώσεται καὶ ἀνακλινεῖ αὐτούς, καὶ παρελθὼν διακονήσει αὐτοῖς.

Бл҃же́ни рабѝ ті́и, и҆̀хже прише́дъ госпо́дь ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ бдѧ́щихъ: а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ препоѧ́шетсѧ и҆ посади́тъ и҆̀хъ, и҆ минꙋ́въ {пристꙋпи́въ} послꙋ́житъ и҆̀мъ.

38

And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

καὶ ἐὰν ἔλθῃ ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ φυλακῇ καὶ ἐν τῇ τρίτῃ φυλακῇ ἔλθῃ καὶ εὕρῃ οὕτω, μακάριοί εἰσιν οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι.

И҆ а҆́ще прїи́детъ во вторꙋ́ю стра́жꙋ, и҆ въ тре́тїю стра́жꙋ прїи́детъ, и҆ ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ (и҆̀хъ) та́кѡ, бл҃же́ни сꙋ́ть рабѝ ті́и.

39

And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

τοῦτο δὲ γινώσκετε ὅτι εἰ ᾔδει ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης ποίᾳ ὥρᾳ ὁ κλέπτης ἔρχεται, ἐγρηγόρησεν ἂν καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἀφῆκε διορυγῆναι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.

Се́ же вѣ́дите, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще бы вѣ́далъ господи́нъ хра́мины, въ кі́й ча́съ та́ть прїи́детъ, бдѣ́лъ ᲂу҆̀бо бы, и҆ не бы̀ да́лъ подкопа́ти до́мꙋ своегѡ̀:

40

Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι· ὅτι ᾗ ὥρᾳ οὐ δοκεῖτε ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἔρχεται.

и҆ вы̀ ᲂу҆̀бо бꙋ́дите гото́ви: ꙗ҆́кѡ, во́ньже ча́съ не мни́те, сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй прїи́детъ.
