¹

И$ въста` е%здра эT притво'ра цр~кви и^детъ въ сосђ'дохрани'лницђ, и^ѓ^анановђ сн~а е^лїаси'вова,

¹

Then Esdras rising from the court of the temple went to the chamber of Joanan the son of Eliasib,

²

чреZ но'щь т^ђ не в#кђшаше хлњ'ба, ни пи'тъ воды`, рыдая на безако'нїя мно'жествъ,

²

and remained there, and did eat no meat nor drink water, mourning for the great iniquities of the multitude.

³

и^ бы'сть проповњданїе въ все'и і^ё^де'и, і^ерsлимњ, всњ'мъ и^же бя'хђ эT плњне'нїя, е^же въ і^ерsлимњ събра'тися

³

And there was a proclamation in all Jewry and Jerusalem to all them that were of the captivity, that they should be gathered together at Jerusalem:

⁴

да ко'ждо и^же не въстече'тъ въ два` и^ли тр^и дн~и по сђ'дђ преDсњдя'щихъ ста'рецъ. во'змется и^мњнїе и^хъ. и^ то'и чюжь ѓ^сђди'тся въ мно'жествњ плњне'нїя.

⁴

and that whosoever met not there within two or three days, according as the elders that bare rule appointed, their cattle should be seized to the use of the temple, and himself cast out from them that were of the captivity.

⁵

и^ събра'ни сђть вси и^же бя'хђ эT колњ'на і^ё'дина и^ венїами'нова. въ г~. дн~и. въ і^ерsлиM. то'и мsць е^сть џ~, к~, дн~я мsца”

⁵

And in three days were all they of the tribe of Juda and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem the twentieth day of the ninth month.

⁶

и^ сњдо'ша вся` мно'жества на простра'н#ствїи цр~ков#нњ дрожа'щи ради зимы` настоящїя”

⁶

And all the multitude sat in the broad court of the temple, trembling because of the present foul weather.

⁷

И$ въста` е%здра реq и^мъ. в^ы безаконно сътвори'ли е^сте възлюби'сте вамъ въ сва'дьбђ жены` и^ноплеме'н#ныхъ, да прида'сте къ грњхђ` і^и^л~я”

⁷

So Esdras arose up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed the law in marrying strange wives, thereby to increase the sins of Israel.

⁸

И$ нн~њ да'ите и^сповњда'нїе вели'чествђ сла'вы г~а б~а эTц~ъ на'шихъ.

⁸

And now by confessing give glory unto the Lord God of our fathers,

⁹

и^ съверши'те во'лю е^го и эTлђчи'теся эT ја^зы'къ зе'мныхъ, и^ эT же'нъ и^ноплеме'н#ныхъ”

⁹

and do his will, and separate yourselves from the heathen of the land, and from the strange women.

¹⁰

И възопи` вс^е мно'жество, и^ реко'ша гла'сомъ вели'кимъ ја%ко ре'клъ е^си сътвориM.

¹⁰

Then cried the whole multitude, and said with a loud voice, Like as thou hast spoken, so will we do.

¹¹

н^о мно'жество вели'ко е^сть, и^ вре'мя зи'мны. и^ не мо'жемъ на пособле'нїе ста'ти. и^ т^о дњ'ло нњ'сть намъ е^ді'наго дн~е ни двђ`. мно'го б^о в тоM съгрњши'хомъ,

¹¹

But forasmuch as the people are many, and it is foul weather, so that we cannot stand without, and this is not a work of a day or two, seeing our sin in these things is spread far:

¹²

да ста'нђтъ же и^ прDеста'тель мно'жество. и^ всњ и^же с на'ми ѓ^бита'ютъ. коли'ко и^хъ и^мњюT же'ны и^ноплеме'нныя да бђдTђ прїа'ти вре'мя,

¹²

therefore let the rulers of the multitude stay, and let all them of our habitations that have strange wives come at the time appointed,

¹³

и^ эT вся'кого мњста презви'тери и^ сђдїи, до'ндеже эTрњшаT гнњ'въ гн~ь повеле'нїя того”

¹³

and with them the rulers and judges of every place, till we turn away the wrath of the Lord from us for this matter.

¹⁴

И$ѓ^наџа'съ же сн~ъ а^заи^левъ, и^ѓ^зїя џоканђевъ сн~ъ, прїя'ша по семђ`, и^ мосоlла'мъ и^ леви'съ, и^ сав#ватїи въкђ'пњ съдњла'ни сђть с ни'ми”

¹⁴

Then Jonathan the son of Azael and Ezechias the son of Theocanus accordingly took this matter upon them: and Mosollam and Levis and Sabbatheus helped them.

¹⁵

И$ поста'виша посемђ` вся` и^же бя'хђ эT плњне'нїа”

¹⁵

And they that were of the captivity did according to all these things.

¹⁶

І$ и^збра'въ себњ` мђжи е%здра сщ~ен#никъ нача'лницы эT ѓ^ц~ъ и^хъ по и^менахъ, и^ засњдо'ша въкђпњ новомњсячїя, і~, мsца, и^спыта'ти дњ'лот^о,

¹⁶

And Esdras the priest chose unto him the principal men of their families, all by name: and in the first day of the tenth month they sat together to examine the matter.

¹⁷

і^ и^спыта'но е^сть коне'чно ѓ^ мђ'жихъ и^же и^мя'хђ же'ны и^ноплеме'нныи, да'же до новомњсячїя пе'рваго мsца,

¹⁷

So their cause that held strange wives was brought to an end in the first day of the first month.

¹⁸

и^ ѓ^брњте'ни сђть эT сщ~енникъ премњша'нїи и^же и^мя'хђ же'ны и^ноплеме'нныи,

¹⁸

And of the priests that were come together, and had strange wives, there were found;

¹⁹

²⁰

и^ възложи'ша рђ'ки да и^зго'нятъ же'ны своя`” И$ къ жертвњ на възноше'нїе ѓ%вна за нечистотђ свою,

²⁰

And they gave their hands to put away their wives, and to offer rams to make reconcilement for their errors.

²¹

³⁶

Вс^и тїи` эTложи'ша себњ же'ны и^ноплеменныя. и^ ѓ^ста'виша иX съ сн~ьми.

³⁶

All these had taken strange wives, and they put them away with their children.

³⁷

и^ всели'шася сщ~е'нницы и^ левљ=ти, и^же бя'хђ эT і^и^л~я въ і^ерsли'мњ, та'кожде и^ въ стра'нахъ, новомњсечїа, з~, мsца” И$ бя'хђ сн~ове і^и^л~еви въ ѓ^би'телехъ свои^хъ.

³⁷

And the priests and Levites, and they that were of Israel, dwelt in Jerusalem, and in the country, in the first day of the seventh month: so the children of Israel were in their habitations.

³⁸

и^ собра'нно е^сть вс^е мно'жество е^ді'нодђшно. на простра'нъство и^же е^сть эT восто'ка враT сщ~е'нныX”

³⁸

And the whole multitude came together with one accord into the broad place of the holy porch toward the east:

³⁹

И$ реко'ша е%здре а^рхїере'ю и^ четцђ, да принесетъ зако'нъ мољ=сеѓ^въ и^же преда'нъ эT г~а б~а і^и^л~ева”

³⁹

and they spake unto Esdras the priest and reader, that he would bring the law of Moses, that was given of the Lord God of Israel.

⁴⁰

И$ принесе` е%здра а^рхїере'и закоn всемђ` мно'жествђ. эT мђжа да'же до жены` и^ всњмъ сщ~е'н#никомъ слы'шати зако'нъ новомњсечїа, з~, мsца.

⁴⁰

So Esdras the chief priest brought the law to the whole multitude from man to woman, and to all the priests, to hear the law in the first day of the seventh month.

⁴¹

и^ чтя'ше на простра'ньствњ и^же е^сть преD сщ~е'н#ными вра'ты цр~ковными. эT ё'тра да'же до полђ'дни. преD мђж#ми же и^ жена'ми. и^ даша всњхъ чюв#ства къ зако'нђ”

⁴¹

And he read in the broad court before the holy porch from morning unto midday, before both men and women; and all the multitude gave heed unto the law.

⁴²

И$ ста` е%здра сщ~е'нникъ и^ чтецъ зако'на на древяноM а^м#бо'нњ, и^же съдњла'нъ бы'сть.

⁴²

And Esdras the priest and reader of the law stood up upon a pulpit of wood which was made for that purpose.

⁴³

и^ ста'ша при немъ мат#гаџїя, и самђсъ, и^ а^нанїя, а^за'рїя, ё%рїя, е^зекїа, и^ валаса'ма, и^ съ десны'я

⁴³

And there stood up by him Mattathias, Sammus, Ananias, Azarias, Urias, Ezecias, Baalsamus, upon the right hand:

⁴⁴

и^ съ лњвы'я страны`, фаlде'и, и^ саи'ль, мельхїя, а^ѓ^џасђвъ, наварїя”

⁴⁴

and upon his left hand Phaldaius, and Misael, Melchias, Lothasubus, Nabarias, Zacharias.

⁴⁵

И$ въспрїя е%зDра кни'гђ зако'на преD всњмъ мно'жествоM превы'ше б^о стоя'ше въ сла'вњ предъ всњми”

⁴⁵

Then took Esdras the book of the law before the multitude: for he sat honourably in the first place in the sight of them all.

⁴⁶

И$ е^гда` ја%ви'лъ зако'нъ, вси` пря'мо ста'хђ. і^ блsви е%здра г~а б~а вы'шняh. б~а саваѓ'џа все`держителя

⁴⁶

And when he opened the law, they stood all straight up. So Esdras blessed the Lord God most High, the God of hosts, Almighty.

⁴⁷

и^ эTвњща` весь нароD, а^ми'нь. и^ възъдви'гше го'рњ рђки, и^ па'дающи на' земли поклони'шася г~ђ”

⁴⁷

And all the people answered, Amen; and lifting up their hands they fell to the ground, and worshipped the Lord.

⁴⁸

І$сђсъ і^ а^нsђ и^ саравїя. и^ а^диносъ, і^ и^а'ковъ, и^ саватеи, и^ а^џеи, и^ меа^не'и, и^ калитаs, и^ а^зарїя, і^ ѓ^а^завдо'съ, і^ а^нанїасъ, и^ вїата'съ, левљ=ти и^же ё^ча'хђ зако'нђ гн~ю. и^ въ мно'жествњ чтя'хђ зако'нъ гн~ь, и^ гл~ахђ въкђпњ и^же разђмња'хђ чте'нїя”

⁴⁸

Also Jesus, Anniuth, Sarabias, Adinus, Jacubus, Sabateas, Auteas, Maiannas, and Calitas, Azarias, and Joazabdus, and Ananias, Phalias, the Levites, taught the law of the Lord, and read the law of the Lord to the multitude, making them withal to understand it.

⁴⁹

И$ рече а^џараT е%здрњ а^рхїере'ю и^ четцђ и левљ=томъ и^же ё^чахђ мно'жество гл~ющи,

⁴⁹

Then spake Attharates unto Esdras the chief priest and reader, and to the Levites that taught the multitude, even to all, saying,

⁵⁰

дн~ь се'и ст~ъ е^сть г~ђ. и^ вс^и пла'кахђ е^гда` слы'шахђ зако'нъ. и^ реq е%здра,

⁵⁰

This day is holy unto the Lord; (for they all wept when they heard the law:)

⁵¹

эTшеDше ё^бо ја^ди'те т^ђ тђчныя, и^ пїите слаDкая, и^ посли'те эT ни'хъ тњмъ и^же не и^мњ'ютъ.

⁵¹

go then, and eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send part to them that have nothing:

⁵²

ст~ъ б^о еs зд^њ дн~ь гн~ь. и^ не моѕи'те печа'лни бы'ти. г~ь ё^бо просвњти ваs.

⁵²

for this day is holy unto the Lord: and be not sorrowful; for the Lord will bring you to honour.

⁵³

и^ левљ=ти воZбрани'ша всемђ` сонмђ гл~щи. дн~ь се'и ст~ъ еs гв~и. не моѕи'те скоръбни бы'ти”

⁵³

So the Levites published all things to the people, saying, This day is holy to the Lord; be not sorrowful.

⁵⁴

І$ и^до'ша вс^и ја%сти и^ пити и^ пирова'ти и^ да'ти эT ни'хъ ја%же не и^мњ'ютъ да пирђ'ютъ. и^ радова'тися ѕњло мно'го,

⁵⁴

Then went they their way, every one to eat and drink and make merry, and to give part to them that had nothing, and to make great cheer;

⁵⁵

е^ще` б^о слове'съ прїа'ша ё^ча'щеся по'лезных#, и^ прирасти'шася въ гл~ехъ и%хже ра'ди собрашася”

⁵⁵

because they understood the words wherein they were instructed, and for the which they had been assembled.
