Молитва Товии в брачную ночьTob 8:5–8
Древнейшая молитва новобрачных, второканон.
This book or chapter is not in the English Bible we use (NHEB), so the Russian Synodal text is shown.
5 И начал Товия говорить: благословен Ты, Боже отцов наших, и благословенно имя Твое святое и славное вовеки! Да благословляют Тебя небеса и все творения Твои!
6 Ты сотворил Адама и дал ему помощницею Еву, подпорою - жену его. От них произошел род человеческий. Ты сказал: нехорошо быть человеку одному, сотворим помощника, подобного ему.
7 И ныне, Господи, я беру сию сестру мою не для удовлетворения похоти, но поистине как жену: благоволи же помиловать меня и дай мне состариться с нею!
8 И она сказала с ним: аминь.
Любовь долготерпит1 Cor 13:4–8
О любви.
4 Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,
5 doesn't behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
6 doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
Жена твоя — как плодовитая лозаPs 128
О семье и детях.
1 Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.
2 For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.
4 Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord.
5 May the Lord bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
Не хорошо быть человеку одномуGen 2:18–24
Основа брака.
18 The Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
20 The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him.
21 The Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 He made the rib, which the Lord God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man.
23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
«Куда ты пойдёшь, пойду и я»Ruth 1:16–17
Слова верности.
16 Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay; your people shall be my people, and your God my God;
17 where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me."
Как хорошо жить братьям вместеPs 133
О единстве.
1 See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the beard, even Aaron's beard; that came down on the edge of his robes;
3 like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion: for there the Lord gives the blessing, even life forevermore.
Подчиняйтесь друг другу в страхе БожиемEph 5:21–33
21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the savior of the body.
24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
27 that he might present the church to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also does the church;
30 because we are members of his body.
31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."
32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the church.
33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
What Scripture says
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
2 Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.
5 Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
7 Therefore do not be partakers with them.
8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
9 for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
11 Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
12 For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
14 Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
15 Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 Do not be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and singing praises in your heart to the Lord;
20 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father;
21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the savior of the body.
24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
27 that he might present the church to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
29 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ also does the church;
30 because we are members of his body.
31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."
32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the church.
33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
1 The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.
2 "Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
3 Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel; it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes to say, 'Where is strong drink?'
5 lest they drink, and forget the decree, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish; and wine to the bitter in soul:
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy."
10 Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her. He shall have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax, and works eagerly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.
15 She rises also while it is yet night, gives food to her household, and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field, and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp doesn't go out by night.
19 She lays her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
20 She opens her arms to the poor; yes, she extends her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes for herself carpets of tapestry. Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and delivers sashes to the merchant.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing. She laughs at the time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom. Faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn't eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things, but you excel them all."
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!
Psalms
Ps 127
1 Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
3 Behold, children are a heritage of the Lord. The fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Ps 128
1 Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.
2 For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.
4 Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord.
5 May the Lord bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
Ps 133
1 See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil on the head, that ran down on the beard, even Aaron's beard; that came down on the edge of his robes;
3 like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion: for there the Lord gives the blessing, even life forevermore.
