RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 И҆ призва̀ ѻ҆бана́десѧть ᲂу҆чн҃кѝ своѧ̑, дадѐ и҆̀мъ вла́сть на дꙋ́сѣхъ нечи́стыхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да и҆зго́нѧтъ и҆̀хъ, и҆ цѣли́ти всѧ́къ недꙋ́гъ и҆ всѧ́кꙋ болѣ́знь.
1 ENTONCES llamando á sus doce discípulos, les dió potestad contra los espíritus inmundos, para que los echasen fuera, y sanasen toda enfermedad y toda dolencia.
2 Двана́десѧтихъ же а҆пⷭ҇лѡвъ и҆мена̀ сꙋ́ть сїѧ̑: пе́рвый сі́мѡнъ, и҆́же нарица́етсѧ пе́тръ, и҆ а҆ндре́й бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀: і҆а́кѡвъ зеведе́евъ и҆ і҆ѡа́ннъ бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀:
2 Y los nombres de los doce apóstoles son estos: el primero, Simón, que es dicho Pedro, y Andrés su hermano; Jacobo, [hijo] de Zebedeo, y Juan su hermano;
3 фїлі́ппъ и҆ варѳоломе́й: ѳѡма̀ и҆ матѳе́й мыта́рь: і҆а́кѡвъ а҆лфе́евъ и҆ левве́й, нарече́нный ѳадде́й:
3 Felipe, y Bartolomé; Tomás, y Mateo el publicano; Jacobo [hijo] de Alfeo, y Lebeo, por sobrenombre Tadeo;
4 сі́мѡнъ канані́тъ и҆ і҆ꙋ́да і҆скарїѡ́тскїй, и҆́же и҆ предадѐ є҆го̀.
4 Simón el Cananita y Judas Iscariote, que también le entregó.
5 Сїѧ̑ ѻ҆бана́десѧть посла̀ і҆и҃съ, заповѣ́да и҆̀мъ, гл҃ѧ: на пꙋ́ть ꙗ҆зы̑къ не и҆ди́те и҆ во гра́дъ самарѧ́нскїй не вни́дите:
5 A estos doce envió Jesús, á los cuales dió mandamiento, diciendo: Por el camino de los Gentiles no iréis, y en ciudad de Samaritanos no entréis;
6 и҆ди́те же па́че ко ѻ҆вца́мъ поги́бшымъ до́мꙋ і҆и҃лева:
6 Mas id antes á las ovejas perdidas de la casa de Israel.
7 ходѧ́ще же проповѣ́дꙋйте, глаго́люще, ꙗ҆́кѡ прибли́жисѧ црⷭ҇твїе нбⷭ҇ное:
7 Y yendo, predicad, diciendo: El reino de los cielos se ha acercado.
8 болѧ́щыѧ и҆сцѣлѧ́йте, прокажє́нныѧ ѡ҆чища́йте, мє́ртвыѧ воскреша́йте, бѣ́сы и҆згонѧ́йте: тꙋ́не прїѧ́сте, тꙋ́не дади́те.
8 Sanad enfermos, limpiad leprosos, resucitad muertos, echad fuera demonios: de gracia recibisteis, dad de gracia.
9 Не стѧжи́те зла́та, ни сребра̀, ни мѣ́ди при поѧсѣ́хъ ва́шихъ,
9 No aprestéis oro, ni plata, ni cobre en vuestras bolsas;
10 ни пи́ры въ пꙋ́ть, ни двою̀ ри̑зꙋ, ни сапѡ́гъ, ни жезла̀: досто́инъ бо є҆́сть дѣ́латель мзды̀ своеѧ̀.
10 Ni alforja para el camino, ni dos ropas de vestir, ni zapatos, ni bordón; porque el obrero digno es de su alimento.
11 Во́ньже а҆́ще (коли́ждо) гра́дъ и҆лѝ ве́сь вни́дете, и҆спыта́йте, кто̀ въ не́мъ досто́инъ є҆́сть, и҆ тꙋ̀ пребꙋ́дите, до́ндеже и҆зы́дете:
11 Mas en cualquier ciudad, ó aldea donde entrareis, investigad quién sea en ella digno, y reposad allí hasta que salgáis.
12 входѧ́ще же въ до́мъ цѣлꙋ́йте є҆го̀, глаго́люще: ми́ръ до́мꙋ семꙋ̀:
12 Y entrando en la casa, saludadla.
13 и҆ а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ бꙋ́детъ до́мъ досто́инъ, прїи́детъ ми́ръ ва́шъ на́нь: а҆́ще ли же не бꙋ́детъ досто́инъ, ми́ръ ва́шъ къ ва́мъ возврати́тсѧ.
13 Y si la casa fuere digna, vuestra paz vendrá sobre ella; mas si no fuere digna, vuestra paz se volverá á vosotros.
14 И҆ и҆́же а҆́ще не прїи́метъ ва́съ, нижѐ послꙋ́шаетъ слове́съ ва́шихъ, и҆сходѧ́ще и҆з̾ до́мꙋ и҆лѝ и҆з̾ гра́да тогѡ̀, ѿтрѧси́те пра́хъ но́гъ ва́шихъ:
14 Y cualquiera que no os recibiere, ni oyere vuestras palabras, salid de aquella casa ó ciudad, y sacudid el polvo de vuestros pies.
15 а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ: ѿра́днѣе бꙋ́детъ землѝ содо́мстѣй и҆ гомо́ррстѣй въ де́нь сꙋ́дный, не́же гра́дꙋ томꙋ̀.
15 De cierto os digo, [que el castigo] será más tolerable á la tierra de los de Sodoma y de los de Gomorra en el día del juicio, que á aquella ciudad.
16 Сѐ, а҆́зъ посыла́ю ва́съ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́вцы посредѣ̀ волкѡ́въ: бꙋ́дите ᲂу҆̀бо мꙋ́дри ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕмїѧ̑, и҆ цѣ́ли ꙗ҆́кѡ го́лꙋбїе.
16 He aquí, yo os envío como á ovejas en medio de lobos: sed pues prudentes como serpientes, y sencillos como palomas.
17 Внемли́те же ѿ человѣ̑къ: предадѧ́тъ бо вы̀ на со́нмы, и҆ на собо́рищихъ и҆́хъ бїю́тъ ва́съ,
17 Y guardaos de los hombres: porque os entregarán en concilios, y en sus sinagogas os azotarán;
18 и҆ пред̾ влады̑ки же и҆ цари̑ веде́ни бꙋ́дете менє̀ ра́ди, во свидѣ́тельство и҆̀мъ и҆ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ.
18 Y aun á príncipes y á reyes seréis llevados por causa de mí, por testimonio á ellos y á los Gentiles.
19 Є҆гда́ же предаю́тъ вы̀, не пецы́тесѧ, ка́кѡ и҆лѝ что̀ возглаго́лете: да́стбосѧ ва́мъ въ то́й ча́съ, что̀ возглаго́лете:
19 Mas cuando os entregaren, no os apuréis por cómo ó qué hablaréis; porque en aquella hora os será dado qué habéis de hablar.
20 не вы́ бо бꙋ́дете глаго́лющїи, но дх҃ъ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ ва́шегѡ гл҃ѧй въ ва́съ.
20 Porque no sois vosotros los que habláis, sino el Espíritu de vuestro Padre que habla en vosotros.
21 Преда́стъ же бра́тъ бра́та на сме́рть, и҆ ѻ҆те́цъ ча́до: и҆ воста́нꙋтъ ча̑да на роди́тєли и҆ ᲂу҆бїю́тъ и҆̀хъ:
21 Y el hermano entregará al hermano á la muerte, y el padre al hijo; y los hijos se levantarán contra los padres, y los harán morir.
22 и҆ бꙋ́дете ненави́дими всѣ́ми и҆́мене моегѡ̀ ра́ди: претерпѣ́вый же до конца̀, то́й сп҃се́нъ бꙋ́детъ.
22 Y seréis aborrecidos de todos por mi nombre; mas el que soportare hasta el fin, éste será salvo.
23 Є҆гда́ же го́нѧтъ вы̀ во гра́дѣ се́мъ, бѣ́гайте въ дрꙋгі́й. А҆ми́нь бо гл҃ю ва́мъ: не и҆́мате сконча́ти гра́ды і҆и҃лєвы, до́ндеже прїи́детъ сн҃ъ чл҃вѣ́ческїй.
23 Mas cuando os persiguieren en esta ciudad, huid á la otra: porque de cierto os digo, [que] no acabaréis de andar todas las ciudades de Israel, que no venga el Hijo del hombre.
24 Нѣ́сть ᲂу҆чени́къ над̾ ᲂу҆чи́телѧ (своего̀), нижѐ ра́бъ над̾ господи́на своего̀:
24 El discípulo no es más que su maestro, ni el siervo más que su señor.
25 довлѣ́етъ ᲂу҆ченикꙋ̀, да бꙋ́детъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆чи́тель є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ра́бъ ꙗ҆́кѡ госпо́дь є҆гѡ̀. А҆́ще господи́на до́мꙋ веельзевꙋ́ла нареко́ша, кольмѝ па́че дома̑шнїѧ є҆гѡ̀;
25 Bástale al discípulo ser como su maestro, y al siervo como su señor. Si al padre de la familia llamaron Beelzebub, ¿cuánto más á los de su casa?
26 Не ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆́хъ: ничто́же бо є҆́сть покрове́но, є҆́же не ѿкры́етсѧ, и҆ та́йно, є҆́же не ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣно бꙋ́детъ.
26 Así que, no los temáis; porque nada hay encubierto, que no haya de ser manifestado; ni oculto, que no haya de saberse.
27 Є҆́же гл҃ю ва́мъ во тьмѣ̀, рцы́те во свѣ́тѣ: и҆ є҆́же во ᲂу҆́шы слы́шите, проповѣ́дите на кро́вѣхъ.
27 Lo que os digo en tinieblas, decidlo en la luz; y lo que oís al oído predicadlo desde los terrados.
28 И҆ не ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ ѿ ᲂу҆бива́ющихъ тѣ́ло, дꙋши́ же не могꙋ́щихъ ᲂу҆би́ти: ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ же па́че могꙋ́щагѡ и҆ дꙋ́шꙋ и҆ тѣ́ло погꙋби́ти въ гее́ннѣ.
28 Y no temáis á los que matan el cuerpo, mas al alma no pueden matar: temed antes á aquel que puede destruir el alma y el cuerpo en el infierno.
29 Не двѣ́ ли пти̑цѣ цѣни́тѣсѧ є҆ди́номꙋ а҆сса́рїю; и҆ ни є҆ди́на ѿ ни́хъ паде́тъ на землѝ без̾ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ ва́шегѡ:
29 ¿No se venden dos pajarillos por un cuarto? Con todo, ni uno de ellos cae á tierra sin vuestro Padre.
30 ва́мъ же и҆ вла́си главні́и всѝ и҆зочте́ни сꙋ́ть:
30 Pues aun vuestros cabellos están todos contados.
31 не ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ ᲂу҆̀бо: мно́зѣхъ пти́цъ лꙋ́чши є҆стѐ вы̀.
31 Así que, no temáis: más valéis vosotros que muchos pajarillos.
32 Всѧ́къ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆́же и҆сповѣ́сть мѧ̀ пред̾ человѣ̑ки, и҆сповѣ́мъ є҆го̀ и҆ а҆́зъ пред̾ ѻ҆ц҃е́мъ мои́мъ, и҆́же на нб҃сѣ́хъ:
32 Cualquiera pues, que me confesare delante de los hombres, le confesaré yo también delante de mi Padre que está en los cielos.
33 а҆ и҆́же ѿве́ржетсѧ менє̀ пред̾ человѣ̑ки, ѿве́ргꙋсѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ а҆́зъ пред̾ ѻ҆ц҃е́мъ мои́мъ, и҆́же на нб҃сѣ́хъ.
33 Y cualquiera que me negare delante de los hombres, le negaré yo también delante de mi Padre que está en los cielos.
34 Не мни́те, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїидо́хъ воврещѝ ми́ръ на зе́млю: не прїидо́хъ воврещѝ ми́ръ, но ме́чь:
34 No penséis que he venido para meter paz en la tierra: no he venido para meter paz, sino espada.
35 прїидо́хъ бо разлꙋчи́ти человѣ́ка на ѻ҆тца̀ своего̀, и҆ дще́рь на ма́терь свою̀, и҆ невѣ́стꙋ на свекро́вь свою̀.
35 Porque he venido para hacer disensión del hombre contra su padre, y de la hija contra su madre, y de la nuera contra su suegra.
36 И҆ вразѝ человѣ́кꙋ дома́шнїи є҆гѡ̀.
36 Y los enemigos del hombre [serán] los de su casa.
37 И҆́же лю́битъ ѻ҆тца̀ и҆лѝ ма́терь па́че менє̀, нѣ́сть менє̀ досто́инъ: и҆ и҆́же лю́битъ сы́на и҆лѝ дще́рь па́че менє̀, нѣ́сть менє̀ досто́инъ:
37 El que ama padre ó madre más que á mí, no es digno de mí; y el que ama hijo ó hija más que á mí, no es digno de mí.
38 и҆ и҆́же не прїи́метъ креста̀ своегѡ̀ и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ менє̀ грѧде́тъ, нѣ́сть менє̀ досто́инъ.
38 Y el que no toma su cruz, y sigue en pos de mí, no es digno de mí.
39 Ѡ҆брѣты́й дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ погꙋби́тъ ю҆̀: а҆ и҆́же погꙋби́тъ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀ менє̀ ра́ди, ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ ю҆̀.
39 El que hallare su vida, la perderá; y el que perdiere su vida por causa de mí, la hallará.
40 И҆́же ва́съ прїе́млетъ, менѐ прїе́млетъ: и҆ и҆́же прїе́млетъ менѐ, прїе́млетъ посла́вшаго мѧ̀:
40 El que os recibe á vosotros, á mí recibe; y el que á mí recibe, recibe al que me envió.
41 прїе́млѧй прⷪ҇ро́ка во и҆́мѧ прⷪ҇ро́чо, мздꙋ̀ прⷪ҇ро́чꙋ прїи́метъ: и҆ прїе́млѧй првⷣника во и҆́мѧ првⷣничо, мздꙋ̀ првⷣничꙋ прїи́метъ:
41 El que recibe profeta en nombre de profeta, merced de profeta recibirá; y el que recibe justo en nombre de justo, merced de justo recibirá.
42 и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще напои́тъ є҆ди́наго ѿ ма́лыхъ си́хъ ча́шею стꙋдены̀ воды̀ то́кмѡ, во и҆́мѧ ᲂу҆чн҃ка̀, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, не погꙋби́тъ мзды̀ своеѧ̀.
42 Y cualquiera que diere á uno de estos pequeñitos un vaso de agua fría solamente, en nombre de discípulo, de cierto os digo, [que] no perderá su recompensa.
