Hebrews 9

Commentary from 23 fathers

1

THEN verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

Εἶχε μὲν οὖν καὶ πρώτη σκηνὴ δικαιώματα λατρείας τό τε Ἅγιον κοσμικόν·

[Заⷱ҇ 320] И҆мѣ́ѧше ᲂу҆́бѡ пе́рваѧ ски́нїѧ {пе́рвый (завѣ́тъ)} ѡ҆правда̑нїѧ слꙋ́жбы, ст҃о́е же людско́е:

2

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

σκηνὴ γὰρ κατεσκευάσθη πρώτη, ἐν τε λυχνία καὶ τράπεζα καὶ πρόθεσις τῶν ἄρτων, ἥτις λέγεται Ἅγια.

ски́нїѧ бо соѡрꙋжена̀ бы́сть пе́рваѧ, въ не́йже свѣти́льникъ и҆ трапе́за и҆ предложе́нїе хлѣ́бѡвъ, ꙗ҆́же глаго́летсѧ ст҃а̑ѧ.

3

And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

μετὰ δὲ τὸ δεύτερον καταπέτασμα σκηνὴ λεγομένη Ἅγια Ἁγίων,

По вторѣ́й же завѣ́сѣ ски́нїѧ глаго́лемаѧ ст҃а̑ѧ ст҃ы́хъ,

4

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

χρυσοῦν ἔχουσα θυμιατήριον καὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης περικεκαλυμμένην πάντοθεν χρυσίῳ, ἐν στάμνος χρυσῆ ἔχουσα τὸ μάννα καὶ ράβδος Ἀαρὼν βλαστήσασα καὶ αἱ πλάκες τῆς διαθήκης,

зла́тꙋ и҆мꙋ́щи кади́льницꙋ и҆ ковче́гъ завѣ́та ѡ҆кова́нъ всю́дꙋ зла́томъ, въ не́мже ста́мна злата̀ и҆мꙋ́щаѧ ма́ннꙋ, и҆ же́злъ а҆арѡ́новъ прозѧ́бшїй, и҆ скрижа̑ли завѣ́та:

5

And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

ὑπεράνω δὲ αὐτῆς Χερουβὶμ δόξης κατασκιάζοντα τὸ ἱλαστήριον· περὶ ὧν οὐκ ἔστι νῦν λέγειν κατὰ μέρος.

превы́шше же є҆гѡ̀ херꙋві́ми сла́вы, ѡ҆сѣнѧ́ющїи ѻ҆лта́рь {ѡ҆чисти́лище}: ѡ҆ ни́хже не лѣ́ть нн҃ѣ глаго́лати подро́бнꙋ.

6

Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

Τούτων δὲ οὕτω κατεσκευασμένων εἰς μὲν τὴν πρώτην σκηνὴν διὰ παντὸς εἰσίασιν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὰς λατρείας ἐπιτελοῦντες,

Си̑мъ же та́кѡ ᲂу҆стро́єнымъ, въ пе́рвꙋю ᲂу҆́бѡ ски́нїю вы́нꙋ вхожда́хꙋ свѧще́нницы, слꙋ̑жбы соверша́юще:

7

But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

εἰς δὲ τὴν δευτέραν ἅπαξ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ μόνος ἀρχιερεύς, οὐ χωρὶς αἵματος, προσφέρει ὑπὲρ ἑαυτοῦ καὶ τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ ἀγνοημάτων,

во вторꙋ́ю же є҆ди́ною въ лѣ́то є҆ди́нъ а҆рхїере́й, не без̾ кро́ве, ю҆́же прино́ситъ за себѐ и҆ ѡ҆ людски́хъ невѣ́жествїихъ.

8

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

τοῦτο δηλοῦντος τοῦ Πνεύματος τοῦ Ἁγίου, μήπω πεφανερῶσθαι τὴν τῶν Ἁγίων ὁδόν, ἔτι τῆς πρώτης σκηνῆς ἐχούσης στάσιν·

[Заⷱ҇ 321] Сїѐ ꙗ҆влѧ́ющꙋ дх҃ꙋ ст҃о́мꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ᲂу҆̀ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ ст҃ы́хъ пꙋ́ть, є҆щѐ пе́рвѣй ски́нїи и҆мꙋ́щей стоѧ́нїе.

9

Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

ἥτις παραβολὴ εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τὸν ἐνεστηκότα, καθὃν δῶρά τε καὶ θυσίαι προσφέρονται μὴ δυνάμεναι κατὰ συνείδησιν τελειῶσαι τὸν λατρεύοντα,

Ꙗ҆́же при́тча во вре́мѧ настоѧ́щее ᲂу҆тверди́сѧ, въ не́же да́рове и҆ жє́ртвы прино́сѧтсѧ, не могꙋ́щыѧ по со́вѣсти соверши́ти слꙋжа́щаго,

10

Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

μόνον ἐπὶ βρώμασι καὶ πόμασι καὶ διαφόροις βαπτισμοῖς καὶ δικαιώμασι σαρκός, μέχρι καιροῦ διορθώσεως ἐπικείμενα.

то́чїю въ бра́шнахъ и҆ питїѧ́хъ, и҆ разли́чныхъ ѡ҆мове́нїихъ, и҆ ѡ҆правда́нїихъ пло́ти, да́же до вре́мене и҆справле́нїѧ належа̑щаѧ.

11

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

Χριστὸς δὲ παραγενόμενος ἀρχιερεὺς τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν διὰ τῆς μείζονος καὶ τελειοτέρας σκηνῆς, οὐ χειροποιήτου, τοῦτ’ ἔστιν οὐ ταύτης τῆς κτίσεως,

Хрⷭ҇то́съ же прише́дъ а҆рхїере́й грѧдꙋ́щихъ бла̑гъ, бо́льшею и҆ соверше́ннѣйшею ски́нїею, нерꙋкотворе́нною, си́рѣчь, не сеѧ̀ тва́ри,

12

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

οὐδὲ διαἵματος τράγων καὶ μόσχων, διὰ δὲ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος εἰσῆλθεν ἐφάπαξ εἰς τὰ Ἅγια, αἰωνίαν λύτρωσιν εὑράμενος.

ни кро́вїю ко́злею нижѐ те́лчею, но свое́ю кро́вїю, вни́де є҆ди́ною во ст҃а̑ѧ, вѣ́чное и҆скꙋпле́нїе ѡ҆брѣты́й.

13

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

εἰ γὰρ τὸ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων καὶ σποδὸς δαμάλεως ραντίζουσα τοὺς κεκοινωμένους ἁγιάζει πρὸς τὴν τῆς σαρκὸς καθαρότητα,

А҆́ще бо кро́вь ко́злѧѧ и҆ те́лчаѧ и҆ пе́пелъ ю҆́нчїй кропѧ́щїй ѡ҆сквернє́ныѧ ѡ҆свѧща́етъ къ пло́тстѣй чистотѣ̀:

14

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

πόσῳ μᾶλλον τὸ αἷμα τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὃς διὰ Πνεύματος αἰωνίου ἑαυτὸν προσήνεγκεν ἄμωμον τῷ Θεῷ, καθαριεῖ τὴν συνείδησιν ὑμῶν ἀπὸ νεκρῶν ἔργων εἰς τὸ λατρεύειν Θεῷ ζῶντι;

кольмѝ па́че кро́вь хрⷭ҇то́ва, и҆́же дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ себѐ принесѐ непоро́чна бг҃ꙋ, ѡ҆чⷭ҇титъ со́вѣсть на́шꙋ ѿ ме́ртвыхъ дѣ́лъ, во є҆́же слꙋжи́ти на́мъ бг҃ꙋ жи́вꙋ и҆ и҆́стиннꙋ;

15

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

καὶ διὰ τοῦτο διαθήκης καινῆς μεσίτης ἐστίν, ὅπως, θανάτου γενομένου εἰς ἀπολύτρωσιν τῶν ἐπὶ τῇ πρώτῃ διαθήκῃ παραβάσεων, τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν λάβωσιν οἱ κεκλημένοι τῆς αἰωνίου κληρονομίας.

И҆ сегѡ̀ ра́ди но́вомꙋ завѣ́тꙋ хода́тай є҆́сть, да сме́рти бы́вшей, во и҆скꙋпле́нїе престꙋпле́нїй бы́вшихъ въ пе́рвѣмъ завѣ́тѣ, ѡ҆бѣтова́нїе вѣ́чнагѡ наслѣ́дїѧ прїи́мꙋтъ зва́ннїи.

16

For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

Ὅπου γὰρ διαθήκη, θάνατον ἀνάγκη φέρεσθαι τοῦ διαθεμένου·

И҆дѣ́же бо завѣ́тъ, сме́рти нꙋ́жно є҆́сть вноси́тисѧ завѣща́ющагѡ,

17

For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

διαθήκη γὰρ ἐπὶ νεκροῖς βεβαία, ἐπεὶ μήποτε ἰσχύει ὅτε ζῇ διαθέμενος.

завѣ́тъ бо въ ме́ртвыхъ и҆звѣ́стенъ є҆́сть: поне́же ничесѡ́же мо́жетъ, є҆гда̀ жи́въ є҆́сть завѣщава́ѧй.

18

Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

ὅθεν οὐδ πρώτη χωρὶς αἵματος ἐγκεκαίνισται·

Тѣ́мже ни пе́рвый без̾ кро́ве ѡ҆бновле́нъ {ᲂу҆твержде́нъ} бы́сть.

19

For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

λαληθείσης γὰρ πάσης ἐντολῆς κατὰ τὸν νόμον ὑπὸ Μωϋσέως παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, λαβὼν τὸ αἷμα τῶν μόσχων καὶ τράγων μετὰ ὕδατος καὶ ἐρίου κοκκίνου καὶ ὑσσώπου, αὐτό τε τὸ βιβλίον καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν ἐρράντισε

Рече́ннѣй бо бы́вшей всѧ́цѣй за́повѣди по зако́нꙋ ѿ мѡѷсе́а всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ, прїе́мь кро́вь ко́злюю и҆ те́лчꙋю, съ водо́ю и҆ во́лною червле́ною и҆ ѵ҆ссѡ́помъ, самы̑ѧ же ты̑ѧ кни̑ги и҆ всѧ̑ лю́ди покропѝ,

20

Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

λέγων· τοῦτο τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης ἧς ἐνετείλατο πρὸς ὑμᾶς Θεός.

глаго́лѧ: сїѧ̀ кро́вь завѣ́та, є҆го́же завѣща̀ къ ва́мъ бг҃ъ.

21

Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν δὲ καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τῆς λειτουργίας τῷ αἵματι ὁμοίως ἐρράντισε.

И҆ ски́нїю же и҆ всѧ̑ сосꙋ́ды слꙋжє́бныѧ кро́вїю та́кожде покропѝ.

22

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

καὶ σχεδὸν ἐν αἵματι πάντα καθαρίζεται κατὰ τὸν νόμον, καὶ χωρὶς αἱματεκχυσίας οὐ γίνεται ἄφεσις.

И҆ ѿню́дъ кро́вїю всѧ̑ {и҆ є҆два̀ не всѧ̑ кро́вїю} ѡ҆чища́ютсѧ по зако́нꙋ, и҆ без̾ кровопроли́тїѧ не быва́етъ ѡ҆ставле́нїе.

23

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Ἀνάγκη οὖν τὰ μὲν ὑποδείγματα τῶν ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς τούτοις καθαρίζεσθαι, αὐτὰ δὲ τὰ ἐπουράνια κρείττοσι θυσίαις παρὰ ταύτας.

Нꙋ́жда ᲂу҆̀бо бѧ́ше ѡ҆бразѡ́мъ нбⷭ҇ныхъ си́ми ѡ҆чища́тисѧ: самѣ̑мъ же нбⷭ҇нымъ лꙋ́чшими же́ртвами, па́че си́хъ.

24

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

οὐ γὰρ εἰς χειροποίητα Ἅγια εἰσῆλθεν Χριστός, ἀντίτυπα τῶν ἀληθινῶν, ἀλλεἰς αὐτὸν τὸν οὐρανόν, νῦν ἐμφανισθῆναι τῷ προσώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν·

[Заⷱ҇ 322] Не въ рꙋкотворє́ннаѧ бо ст҃а̑ѧ вни́де хрⷭ҇то́съ, противоѡбра̑знаѧ и҆́стинныхъ, но въ са́мое нб҃о, нн҃ѣ да ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ лицꙋ̀ бж҃їю ѡ҆ на́съ,

25

Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

οὐδἵνα πολλάκις προσφέρῃ ἑαυτόν, ὥσπερ ἀρχιερεὺς εἰσέρχεται εἰς τὰ Ἄγια κατἐνιαυτὸν ἐν αἵματι ἀλλοτρίῳ·

нижѐ да мно́гажды прино́ситъ себѐ, ꙗ҆́коже первосвѧще́нникъ вхо́дитъ во ст҃а̑ѧ (ст҃ы́хъ) по всѧ̑ лѣ̑та съ кро́вїю чꙋжде́ю:

26

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

ἐπεὶ ἔδει αὐτὸν πολλάκις παθεῖν ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου· νῦν δὲ ἅπαξ ἐπὶ συντελείᾳ τῶν αἰώνων εἰς ἀθέτησιν ἁμαρτίας διὰ τῆς θυσίας αὐτοῦ πεφανέρωται.

поне́же подоба́ше бы є҆мꙋ̀ мно́жицею страда́ти ѿ сложе́нїѧ мі́ра: нн҃ѣ же є҆ди́ною въ кончи́нꙋ вѣкѡ́въ, во ѿмета́нїе грѣха̀, же́ртвою свое́ю ꙗ҆ви́сѧ.

27

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

καὶ καθὅσον ἀπόκειται τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ἅπαξ ἀποθανεῖν, μετὰ δὲ τοῦτο κρίσις,

И҆ ꙗ҆́коже лежи́тъ {ѡ҆предѣле́но є҆́сть} человѣ́кѡмъ є҆ди́ною ᲂу҆мре́ти, пото́мъ же сꙋ́дъ,

28

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

οὕτω καὶ Χριστός, ἅπαξ προσενεχθεὶς εἰς τὸ πολλῶν ἀνενεγκεῖν ἁμαρτίας, ἐκ δευτέρου χωρὶς ἁμαρτίας ὀφθήσεται τοῖς αὐτὸν ἀπεκδεχομένοις εἰς σωτηρίαν.

та́кѡ и҆ хрⷭ҇то́съ є҆ди́ною принесе́сѧ, во є҆́же вознестѝ мно́гихъ грѣхѝ, второ́е без̾ грѣха̀ ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ, ждꙋ́щымъ є҆гѡ̀ во спⷭ҇нїе.
