¹

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

¹

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

²

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

²

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

³

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

³

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

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;

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,

⁵

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

⁵

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

⁶

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

⁶

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

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.

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”

⁸

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

⁸

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

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.

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.

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:

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.

¹¹

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

¹¹

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

¹²

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

¹²

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

¹³

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

¹³

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

¹⁴

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

¹⁴

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

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.

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”

¹⁶

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

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”

¹⁷

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

¹⁷

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

¹⁸

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

¹⁸

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

¹⁹

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

¹⁹

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

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.

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”

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.

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”

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

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,

²³

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

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.

²⁴

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

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.

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.

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.

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”

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,

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.

²⁸

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

²⁸

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

²⁹

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

²⁹

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

³⁰

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

³⁰

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

³¹

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;

³¹

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

³²

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

³²

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

³³

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

³³

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

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;

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.

³⁵

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

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”

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,

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,

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.

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”

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.

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”

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.

³⁹

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

⁴⁰

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

⁴⁰

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

⁴¹

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

⁴¹

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

⁴²

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

⁴²

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

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;

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,

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:

⁴⁴

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

⁴⁵

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

⁴⁵

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

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:

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”

⁴⁷

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

⁴⁷

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

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.

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`”

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?

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;

⁵⁰

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

⁵⁰

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

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.

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”

⁵²

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

⁵²

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