Hebrews 10:1–18
§ 323
Hebrews 10:1–18 § 323
Brethren, the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purged, would have had no more consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not desire, but a body hast Thou prepared for Me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, ‘Behold, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me) to do Thy will, O God.’ ” Now when He said, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin Thou wouldest not, neither had pleasure in them” (which are offered by the law), then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God;” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest stands daily ministering and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one Sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God; from that time waiting until His enemies be made His footstool. For by one offering He has perfected forever them that are sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord; I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them,” and “Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.” Now where the remission of these is, there is no longer an offering for sin.

Chapter 21
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
Καί τινων λεγόντων περὶ τοῦ ἱεροῦ ὅτι λίθοις καλοῖς καὶ ἀναθήμασι κεκόσμηται, εἶπε·
[Заⷱ҇ 104] И҆ нѣ̑кимъ глаго́лющымъ ѡ҆ це́ркви, ꙗ҆́кѡ ка́менїемъ до́брымъ и҆ сосꙋ̑ды ᲂу҆кра́шена, речѐ:
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
ταῦτα ἃ θεωρεῖτε, ἐλεύσονται ἡμέραι ἐν αἷς οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται λίθος ἐπὶ λίθῳ ὃς οὐ καταλυθήσεται.
сїѧ̑ ꙗ҆̀же ви́дите, прїи́дꙋтъ дні́е, въ нѧ́же не ѡ҆ста́нетъ ка́мень на ка́мени, и҆́же не разори́тсѧ.
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
ἐπηρώτησαν δὲ αὐτὸν λέγοντες· διδάσκαλε, πότε οὖν ταῦτα ἔσται, καὶ τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅταν μέλλῃ ταῦτα γίνεσθαι;
Вопроси́ша же є҆го̀, глаго́люще: ᲂу҆чт҃лю, когда̀ ᲂу҆̀бо сїѧ̑ бꙋ́дꙋтъ; и҆ что̀ є҆́сть зна́менїе, є҆гда̀ хотѧ́тъ сїѧ̑ бы́ти;
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
τότε ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· ἐγερθήσεται ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος καὶ βασιλεία ἐπὶ βασιλείαν,
Тогда̀ гл҃аше и҆̀мъ: воста́нетъ (бо) ꙗ҆зы́къ на ꙗ҆зы́къ, и҆ ца́рство на ца́рство:
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
σεισμοί τε μεγάλοι κατὰ τόπους καὶ λιμοὶ καὶ λοιμοὶ ἔσονται, φόβητρά τε καὶ σημεῖα ἀπ᾿ οὐρανοῦ μεγάλα ἔσται.
трꙋ́си же вели́цы по мѣ́стѡмъ и҆ гла́ди и҆ па̑гꙋбы бꙋ́дꙋтъ, страхова̑нїѧ же и҆ зна́мєнїѧ вє́лїѧ съ небесѐ бꙋ́дꙋтъ.
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
ὅταν δὲ ἴδητε κυκλουμένην ὑπὸ στρατοπέδων τὴν Ἱερουσαλήμ, τότε γνῶτε ὅτι ἤγγικεν ἡ ἐρήμωσις αὐτῆς.
Є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆́зрите ѡ҆бстои́мь і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ вѡ́и, тогда̀ разꙋмѣ́йте, ꙗ҆́кѡ прибли́жисѧ запꙋстѣ́нїе є҆мꙋ̀:
Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φευγέτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὄρη, καὶ οἱ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ἐκχωρείτωσαν, καὶ οἱ ἐν ταῖς χώραις μὴ εἰσερχέσθωσαν εἰς αὐτήν,
тогда̀ сꙋ́щїи во і҆ꙋде́и да бѣ́гаютъ въ го́ры: и҆ и҆̀же посредѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, да и҆схо́дѧтъ: и҆ и҆̀же во страна́хъ, да не вхо́дѧтъ во́нь:
For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
ὅτι ἡμέραι ἐκδικήσεως αὗταί εἰσι τοῦ πληρωθῆναι πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα.
ꙗ҆́кѡ дні́е ѿмще́нїю сі́и сꙋ́ть, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆спо́лнитисѧ всемꙋ̀ пи́санномꙋ.
But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
οὐαὶ δὲ ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις καὶ ταῖς θηλαζούσαις ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις· ἔσται γὰρ τότε ἀνάγκη μεγάλη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὀργὴ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ,
Го́ре же и҆мꙋ́щымъ во ᲂу҆тро́бѣ и҆ доѧ́щымъ въ ты̑ѧ дни̑: бꙋ́детъ бо бѣда̀ ве́лїѧ на землѝ и҆ гнѣ́въ на лю́дехъ си́хъ,
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
καὶ πεσοῦνται στόματι μαχαίρας, καὶ αἰχμαλωτισθήσονται εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔσται πατουμένη ὑπὸ ἐθνῶν ἄχρι πληρωθῶσι καιροὶ ἐθνῶν.
и҆ падꙋ́тъ во ѻ҆́стрїи меча̀, и҆ плѣне́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ во всѧ̑ ꙗ҆зы́ки: и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ бꙋ́детъ попира́емь ꙗ҆зы̑ки, до́ндеже сконча́ютсѧ времена̀ ꙗ҆зы̑къ.
