Nativity Vespers

Chapter 2

31

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold an image: that image was great, and the appearance of it excellent, standing before thy face; and the form of it was terrible.

σύ, βασιλεῦ, ἐθεώρεις, καὶ ἰδοὺ εἰκὼν μία, μεγάλη ἡ εἰκὼν ἐκείνη, καὶ ἡ πρόσοψις αὐτῆς ὑπερφερής, ἑστῶσα πρὸ προσώπου σου, καὶ ἡ ὅρασις αὐτῆς φοβερά·

Ты̀, царю̀ ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ: и҆ сѐ, тѣ́ло є҆ди́но, ве́лїе тѣ́ло ѻ҆́но, и҆ ѡ҆бли́чїе є҆гѡ̀ высоко̀, стоѧ́що пред̾ лице́мъ твои́мъ, и҆ ѡ҆́бразъ є҆гѡ̀ стра́шенъ:

32

[It was] an image, the head of which was of fine gold, its hands and breast and arms of silver, [its] belly and thighs of brass,

εἰκών, ἧς ἡ κεφαλὴ χρυσίου χρηστοῦ, αἱ χεῖρες καὶ τὸ στῆθος καὶ οἱ βραχίονες αὐτῆς ἀργυροῖ, ἡ κοιλία καὶ οἱ μηροὶ χαλκοῖ,

тѣ́ло, є҆гѡ́же глава̀ ѿ зла́та чи́ста, рꙋ́цѣ и҆ пє́рси и҆ мы̑шцы є҆гѡ̀ срє́брѧны, чре́во и҆ сте́гна мѣ̑дѧна,

33

its legs of iron, its feet, part of iron and part of earthenware.

αἱ κνῆμαι σιδηραῖ, οἱ πόδες μέρος τι σιδηροῦν καὶ μέρος τι ὀστράκινον.

го́лєни желѣ̑зны, но́зѣ, ча́сть ᲂу҆́бѡ нѣ́каѧ желѣ́зна и҆ ча́сть нѣ́каѧ скꙋде́льна:

34

Thou sawest until a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it smote the image upon its feet of iron and earthenware, and utterly reduced them to powder.

ἐθεώρεις ἕως οὗ ἐτμήθη λίθος ἐξ ὄρους ἄνευ χειρῶν καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν εἰκόνα ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας τοὺς σιδηροῦς καὶ ὀστρακίνους καὶ ἐλέπτυνεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τέλος.

ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ, до́ндеже ѿто́ржесѧ ка́мень ѿ горы̀ без̾ рꙋ́къ, и҆ ᲂу҆да́ри тѣ́ло въ но́зѣ желѣ̑зны и҆ скꙋдє́льны, и҆ и҆стнѝ и҆̀хъ до конца̀:

35

Then once for all the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold, were ground to powder, and became as chaff from the summer threshingfloor; and the violence of the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them: and the stone which had smitten the image became a great mountain, and filled all the earth.

τότε ἐλεπτύνθησαν εἰς ἅπαξ τὸ ὄστρακον, ὁ σίδηρος, ὁ χαλκός, ὁ ἄργυρος, ὁ χρυσός, καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ κονιορτὸς ἀπὸ ἅλωνος θερινῆς· καὶ ἐξῇρεν αὐτὰ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ πνεύματος, καὶ τόπος οὐχ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς· καὶ ὁ λίθος ὁ πατάξας τὴν εἰκόνα ἐγενήθη ὄρος μέγα καὶ ἐπλήρωσε πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.

тогда̀ сотро́шасѧ вкꙋ́пѣ скꙋде́ль, желѣ́зо, мѣ́дь, сребро̀ и҆ зла́то, и҆ бы́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ пра́хъ ѿ гꙋмна̀ лѣ́тнѧ: и҆ взѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀ премно́гїй вѣ́тръ, и҆ мѣ́сто не ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ и҆̀мъ: ка́мень же порази́вый тѣ́ло бы́сть гора̀ вели́ка и҆ напо́лни всю̀ зе́млю.

36

This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ ἐνύπνιον καὶ τὴν σύγκρισιν αὐτοῦ ἐροῦμεν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως.

Се́й є҆́сть со́нъ, а҆ сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀ рече́мъ пред̾ царе́мъ.

44

And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and his kingdom shall not be left to another people, [but] it shall beat to pieces and grind to powder all [other] kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῶν βασιλέων ἐκείνων ἀναστήσει ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ βασιλείαν, ἥτις εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας οὐ διαφθαρήσεται, καὶ ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ λαῷ ἑτέρῳ οὐχ ὑπολειφθήσεται· λεπτυνεῖ καὶ λικμήσει πάσας τὰς βασιλείας, καὶ αὐτὴ ἀναστήσεται εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.

И҆ во дне́хъ царе́й тѣ́хъ возста́витъ бг҃ъ нбⷭ҇ный ца́рство, є҆́же во вѣ́ки не разсы́плетсѧ, и҆ ца́рство є҆гѡ̀ лю́демъ и҆нѣ̑мъ не ѡ҆ста́нетсѧ, и҆стни́тъ и҆ развѣ́етъ всѧ̑ ца̑рства, то́е же ста́нетъ во вѣ́ки,

45

Whereas thou sawest that a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it beat to pieces the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold; the great God has made known to the king what must happen hereafter: and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof sure.

ὃν τρόπον εἶδες ὅτι ἀπὸ ὄρους ἐτμήθη λίθος ἄνευ χειρῶν καὶ ἐλέπτυνε τὸ ὄστρακον, τὸν σίδηρον, τὸν χαλκόν, τὸν ἄργυρον, τὸν χρυσόν, ὁ Θεὸς ὁ μέγας ἐγνώρισε τῷ βασιλεῖ ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ἀληθινὸν τὸ ἐνύπνιον, καὶ πιστὴ ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ.

ꙗ҆́коже ви́дѣлъ є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿсѣче́сѧ ѿ горы̀ ка́мень без̾ рꙋ́къ и҆ и҆стнѝ гли́нꙋ, желѣ́зо, мѣ́дь, сребро̀, зла́то. Бг҃ъ вели́кїй возвѣстѝ царю̀, и҆̀мже подоба́етъ бы́ти по си́хъ: и҆ и҆́стиненъ со́нъ, и҆ вѣ́рно сказа́нїе є҆гѡ̀.
