Let us now praise famous men, And our fathers that became the father of us. The Lord manifested in them great glory, Even his mighty power from the beginning. Such as did bear rule in their kingdoms, And were men renowned for their power, Giving counsel by their understanding, Such as have brought tidings in prophecies: Leaders of the people by their counsels, And by their understanding men of learning for the people; Wise were their words in their instruction: Such as sought out musical tunes, And set forth verses in writing: Rich men furnished with ability, Living peaceably in their habitations: All these were honored in their generations, And were a glory in their days. There be of them, that have left a name behind them, To declare their praises. And some there be, which have no memorial; Who are perished as though they had not been, And are become as though they had not been born; And their children after them. But these were men of mercy, Whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten. With their seed shall remain continually a good inheritance; Their children are within the covenants. Their seed stands fast, And their children for their sakes. Their seed shall remain forever, And their glory shall not be blotted out. Their bodies were buried in peace, And their name lives to all generations. Peoples will declare their wisdom, And the congregation tells out their praise.

Євангеліє

Від Матвія 5:1-12

І, побачивши на́товп, Він вийшов на го́ру. А як сів, підійшли Його у́чні до Нього. І, відкривши уста́ Свої, Він навчати їх став, промовляючи: „Блаже́нні вбогі духом, бо їхнє Царство Небесне. Блаженні засму́чені, бо вони будуть утішені. Блаженні ла́гідні, бо землю вспадку́ють вони. Блаженні голодні та спра́гнені праведности, бо вони нагодо́вані будуть. Блаженні милости́ві, бо помилувані вони будуть. Блаженні чисті́ серцем, бо вони будуть бачити Бога. Блаженні миротво́рці, бо вони синами Божими стануть. Блаженні ви́гнані за праведність, бо їхнє Ца́рство Небесне. Блаженні ви, як ганьби́ти та гнати вас бу́дуть, і будуть облу́дно на вас нагово́рювати всяке слово лихе ради Мене. Радійте та веселі́ться, — нагорода бо ваша велика на небеса́х! Бо так гнали й пророків, що були перед вами.
