¹

Бы'сть же въ' дн~и т^ы, и^ꙁыде повелᲇ'нїе эT кесаря а%вгђсᲄа, написа'ти вс^ю вселе'ннђю”

¹

Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.

²

с^е написа'нїе пе'рвое быст#” владђщ'ђ сирїею, кирини'ю`.

²

This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

³

і^ и^дя'хђ вси написа'тися кождо въ сво'и градъ”

³

And all went to enroll themselves, every one to his own city.

⁴

Вꙁы'де же и^ѓ'сифъ эT галиле'а, и^ꙁ# града назаре'џа. въ і^оу^де'ю въ' градъ дввDъ, и^же нарица'етᲆся виџлеѓ^мъ, ꙁане быти е^мђ эT домђ и^ ѓ^ч~ьства двDва,

⁴

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;

⁵

написа'тися с марїею` ѓ^брђченою е^мђ женою сђщею непра'ꙁ#дною”

⁵

to enroll himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him as his wife, being great with child.

⁶

бы'сть же е^гда бы'ста т^ђ, и^спо'лнишяся дн~їе родити е'й.

⁶

And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.

⁷

и роди сн~а свое^го пе'рвенца, и^ повитъ е^го. и^ положи е^го въ я'слехъ, ꙁане не б^њ и%ма мњста въ ѓ^би'тели”

⁷

And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

⁸

И$ па'стырїе бњхђ в то'иже странњ бдя'ще, и^ стрегђще стра'ждђ нощнђю ѓ^ ста'дњ свое^мъ.

⁸

And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.

⁹

и^ с^е а^гг~лъ гн~ь ст^а в нихъ, и^ сла'ва гн~я ѓ^сїа и^хъ. и^ оу^боа'шася стра'хомъ ве'лїемъ.

⁹

And lo, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

¹⁰

и^ рече и^мъ а%гг~лъ, не бо'итеся. се` б^о бл~говњствђю вамъ ра'дость ве'лїю, ја%же бђ'детᲆ всњмъ лю'демъ.

¹⁰

And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:

¹¹

ја%ко родися вамъ днsе сп~съ, и^же е^сть х~с г~ь, вᲆ градњ двDвњ.

¹¹

for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

¹²

и^ с^е вамъ ꙁна'менїе, ѓ^бря'щете младе'нець повитъ лежащь въ я'слехъ.

¹²

And this is the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in the manger.

¹³

и^ внеза'пђ бысть съ а%гг~ломъ множество во'й нбsных#, хваля'щих# бг~а, и^ гл~ющиX.

¹³

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

¹⁴

слава въ вы'шнихъ б~ђ, и^ на земли` миr, въ чл~вецњхъ бл~говоле'нїе”

¹⁴

Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, good pleasure among men.

¹⁵

И$ бысть ја%ко эTи^до'шя эT нихъ на' нб~о а^гг~ли. и^ чл~вецы па'стырїе рњша дрђгъ къ' дрђгђ, пре'идеM до виџлее'ма, и^ ви'диM гл~ъ се'й бы'вшїи, и^же г~ь скаꙁа` намъ”

¹⁵

And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, that the men, the shepherds, said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

¹⁶

И$ прїидо'шя поспњш#шеся, и^ ѓ^брњто'шя марїа'мь же і^ и^ѓ'сифа, и^ младе'нець лежа'щь въ я'слехъ”

¹⁶

And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.

¹⁷

Видњвша же, скаꙁа'шя ѓ^ гл~њ гл~аннњмъ и^мъ ѓ^ ѓ^троча'ти семъ”

¹⁷

And when they saw it, they made known abroad concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child.

¹⁸

и^ вс^и слы'шавшеи`, диви'шася ѓ^ гл~анныхъ эT па'стырїи к нимъ”

¹⁸

And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.

¹⁹

Марїа'мь же съблюда'ше вс^я гл~ы сїа, слага'ющи в# срDцы своеM”

¹⁹

But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.

²⁰

И/ въꙁ#врати'шяся па'стырїе, славяще и^ хваля'ще б~а ѓ^ всњхъ ја^же слы'шяша и видњшя, ја^коже гл~ано бысть к нимъ”

²⁰

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them.

²¹

И$ е^гда и^сполнишяся ѓ^смь дн~їи, да ѓ^брњжђтъ е^го, и^ нареко'шя и^мя е^мђ і^с~, нареченное а^гг~еломᲆ прежDе даже не ꙁачаTся въ' чревњ”

²¹

And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

²²

И$ е^гда и^сполнишася дн~їе' ѓ^чище'нїа ею` по ꙁаконђ мољ=се'ѓвђ. Въꙁнесо'ста е^го въ і^ерsли'мъ, поставити е^го преD гм~ъ,

²²

And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord

²³

ја%коже е^сть пи'сано в ꙁако'нњ гн~и, ја%ко всякъ младе'нець, мђжеска по'лђ, раꙁверꙁа'а ложесна`, ст~о гв~и наречется”

²³

(as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),

²⁴

И$ е'же дати жрътвђ, по реченномђ в ꙁако'нњ гн~и, дв^а го'рличища, и^ли дв^а птенца голђбина”

²⁴

and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

²⁵

И/ се^ б^њ чл~къ въ і^ерsли'мњ, е^мђже и^мя симеѓ'нъ, и^ чл~къ се'й пра'веденъ и^ бл~гочести'въ, ча'а оу^тњхы і^и^л~евы, и^ дх~ъ б^њ ст~ъ в немъ.

²⁵

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

²⁶

и^ бњ е^мђ ѓ^бњща'нно дх~омъ ст~ымъ, не ви'дњти смр~ти, преже даже не ви'дитъ х~а гн~я”

²⁶

And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

²⁷

И$ прїиде дх~омъ в# цр~ковь, И е^гда в#ведо'ста роди'теля ѓ^троча і^с~а, сътворити и%ма по ѓ^бы'чаю ꙁако'нномђ ѓ^ немъ.

²⁷

And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law,

²⁸

и^ то'й прїе'мъ е^го на рђкђ свою`, и^ блsви б~а, и^ реq.

²⁸

then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

²⁹

нн~њ эTпђща'еши раба` твое^го влDко, по гл~ђ твое^мђ с ми'ромъ.

²⁹

Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord, According to thy word, in peace;

³⁰

ја^ко видњ'стњ ѓ%чи мои сп~се'нїе твое,

³⁰

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

³¹

е^же е^си оу^гото'валъ преD лицемъ всњхъ людїи.

³¹

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;

³²

свTњ въ эTкрове'нїе ја%ѕы'комъ, и^ сла'вђ людїи твои^хъ і^и^л~я”

³²

A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel.

³³

И$ б^њ и^ѓ'сифъ, и^ мт~и е^го, чюдя'щася ѓ^ гл~емыхъ ѓ^ немъ”

³³

And Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him;

³⁴

И$ блsви я& симеѓ'нъ, и^ рече к# марїи ма'тери е^го. с^е лежитъ се'й на паденїе и^ на въста'нїе мно'гымъ вᲆ і^и^л~и, и^ въ ꙁна'менїе прерњка'емо.

³⁴

and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;

³⁵

и^ тебњ же само'и дш~ђ про'идеT ѓ^рђжїе, ја%ко оу^бо да эTкры'ются эT мно'гъ срDцᲆ помышле'нїя”

³⁵

yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.

³⁶

И$ б^њ а%нна пррoчица, дщ^и фанђ'илева, эT колњна а^сљ=рова. с^и ꙁаматорњвши въ' дн~ех# мно'ѕњх#, живши с# мђж'емъ сед#мь лњтъ эT дв~ьства свое^го,

³⁶

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,

³⁷

и^ т^а вдова ја%ко лњтъ ѓ%смъдесятъ четы'ри, ја%же не эTхождаше эT цр~кви, посто'мъ и^ мл~твами слђжа'щи дн~ь и^ нощь”

³⁷

and she was a widow of about fourscore and four years), who departed not from the temple, worshiping with fastings and supplications night and day.

³⁸

И$ т^а в ᲄо'й часъ приста'вши. и^сповњдавшеся гв~и, и^ гл~аше ѓ^ немъ всњмъ ча'ющиM и^ꙁбавленїа въ і^ерsли'мњ”

³⁸

And she, coming up at that very hour, gave thanks unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

³⁹

И$ ја%ко скон#чашася вс^я по ꙁако'нђ гн~ю, въꙁ#врати'шася в# галиле'ю, въ' градъ свои наꙁареџъ”

³⁹

And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

⁴⁰

ѓ^троча же растя'ше и^ крњпля'шеся дх~омъ, и^сплъня'ася премђ'дрости, и^ блгDть бж~їа б^њ на немъ.

⁴⁰

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

⁴¹

И$ хожDа'ста роди'теля е^го на вся'ко лњто въ і^е^рлsимъ, в# пра'ꙁнDик# па'схы”

⁴¹

And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.

⁴²

И$ е^гда бысть двоюнадесяте лњтђ, въсходя'щемъ и^мъ въ і^е^рлsимъ по ѓ^бычаю пра'ꙁнDика,

⁴²

And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast;

⁴³

и^ скончя'вшемъ дн~и, и^ въꙁвращя'ющимся и^мъ. ѓ^ста` ѓ^трокъ і^с~ въ і^е^рлsимњ, и^ не раꙁђмњ і^ѓ'сифъ, и^ мати е^го,

⁴³

and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew it not;

⁴⁴

мнњвша же е^го в# дрђжинњ сђща, преидо'ша дн~е пђть, и^ і^скаста е^го в# сроDницњхъ и^ в# ꙁна'емыхъ.

⁴⁴

but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and among their acquaintance:

⁴⁵

и^ не ѓ^брњтша е^го, въꙁ#вратистася въ і^е^рлsимъ в#ꙁыска'юща е^го.

⁴⁵

and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.

⁴⁶

и^ бысть потрїехъ дн^ехъ, ѓ^брњто'ста е^го в# цр~к#ви, сњдя'ща посредњ оу^чи'телїи, и^ послђшающа и^хъ, и^ вᲆпраша'юща и^хъ”

⁴⁶

And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions:

⁴⁷

Оу^жаса'хђ же ся вс^и послђшающеи` е^го, ѓ^ разђмњ и^ ѓ^ эTвњтехъ е^го”

⁴⁷

and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

⁴⁸

И$ видњвша е^го, дивистася, и^ к немђ мт~и е^го рече. ча'до, чт^о сътвори на'ма тако; с^е эTц~ъ тво'и и^ а'ꙁъ боля'ща и^ска'ховњ тебе`”

⁴⁸

And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.

⁴⁹

И$ рече к ни'ма. чт^о ја%ко и^ска'сте мене`; не вњ'ста ли ја%ко в# тњхъ ја%же эTц~а мое^го досто'итъ быти м^и;

⁴⁹

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father’s house?

⁵⁰

и^ т^а не разђмњсᲄа гл~а, и^же гл~а и%ма”

⁵⁰

And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

⁵¹

И$ сни'де с ни'ма, и^ прїиде в# наꙁареџᲆ, и^ б^њ повинђася и'ма. мт~и же е^го съблюда'ше вс^я гл~ы сїа в# срцDи своеM”

⁵¹

And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

⁵²

И$ і^с~, преспњва'ше премђ'дросᲄїю и^ вᲆзрастоM и^ блгDтїю эT б~а и^ чл~къ”

⁵²

And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
