Лњта, л~ го, разоренїе гра'дA е^гда` бњхъ въ вављ=лонњ и^ лежахъ на ѓ%дрњ скорбя'щи, прихожда'хђ же м^и мышленїя.
|
In the thirtieth year after the ruin of the city, I Salathiel (the same is Ezra) was in Babylon, and lay troubled upon my bed, and my thoughts came up over my heart:
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
ја^ко ви'дњхъ ѓ^пђстњнїе сїѓ'на, и^ мно'жество ве'лїе живђщихъ въ вављ=лонњ,
|
for I saw the desolation of Zion, and the wealth of them that dwelt at Babylon.
|
|

|

|
|
и^ того ради быX ѕњло смђщенъ въ срDци, и^ нача'хъ ё^милен#ными словесы гл~ати къ вы'шънемђ,
|
And my spirit was sore moved, so that I began to speak words full of fear to the Most High, and said,
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
ЭO влDко г~и. т^ы са'мъ реклъ е^си эT нача'ла полага'ющи ѓ^снова'нїя зе'мли, и^ повелњлъ е^си лю'дем#
|
O Lord that bearest rule, didst thou not speak at the beginning, when thou didst fashion the earth, and that thyself alone, and commandest the dust,
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
е^гда` далъ а^да'мђ плоть мр~твенђ, и^же б^њ дњ'ло рђкъ твои^хъ, и^ въдх~нђлъ е^си во'нь дх~ъ животенъ, и^ бы'сть живъ преD тобо'ю,
|
and it gave thee Adam, a body without a soul? yet it was the workmanship of thy hands, and thou didst breathe into him the breath of life, and he was made living before thee.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
и^ въвеl е^си е^го в ра'и е^же насади десница твоа`, прежDе неже проѕя'бе земля`.
|
And thou leddest him into paradise, which thy right hand did plant, before ever the earth came forward.
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
и^ завњща е^мђ съхранити заповњди твоя` и^же престђпи я&” Того ради преда'лъ е^си и& и^ ро'дъ е^го въ смр~ть, и^ ё^мно'жи'ся мно'жество ја^зы'къ людїи иMже нњсть числа`.
|
And unto him thou gavest thy one commandment: which he transgressed, and immediately thou appointedst death for him and in his generations; and there were born of him nations and tribes, peoples and kindreds, without number.
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
и^ е^гда` кои^ждо роD послњдова по'хотемъ своиM, съдњлова'ющи ди'вная преD тобо'ю. гордя'щи повеленїеM твоиM.
|
And every nation walked after their own will, and did ungodly things before thee, and despised thy commandments, and thou didst not forbid them.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
пакиy во время навеl е^си на ниX потопъ. и^ потребиl е^си живђщиX на земли`.
|
Nevertheless again in process of time thou broughtest the flood upon those that dwelt in the world, and destroyedst them.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
и^ бысть въ е^ді'нокождо же и^хъ ја^ко а^да'мъ ё'мретъ,
|
And it came to pass that the same hap befell them; like as death was to Adam, so was the flood to these.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
токмо ѓ^ста'виl е^си е^ді'ного ноа и^ с# сњменеM е^го, и^з негоже роди'шася всњ правеDнїи.
|
Nevertheless one of them thou leftest, Noah with his household, even all the righteous men that came of him.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
и^ ја%ко начаша мно'житися на земли` живђщи, и^ раZмно'жися число` сн~овъ но'евыхъ, и^з ни'хже лю'дїе и^ ја^зы'цы мно'ѕи и^зыидо'ша” Съгрњшенїя послDњнихъ, превъзыидо'ша непра'вдђ прежни'хъ.
|
And it came to pass, that when they that dwelt upon the earth began to multiply, they multiplied also children, and peoples, and many nations, and began again to be more ungodly than the first.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
и^ бы'ша лђка'ви преD тобо'ю. ѓ^баче же и^збра'лъ е^си себњ` з ниX мђж'а е^мђже и^мя бы'сть а^врааM
|
And it came to pass, when they did wickedly before thee, thou didst choose thee one from among them, whose name was Abraham;
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
е^гоже възлю'билъ е^си. и^ сказа` е^мђ хотњнїя своя`,
|
and him thou lovedst, and unto him only thou showedst the end of the times secretly by night:
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
и^ сътвори` с ни'мъ завњтъ вњчныи, ѓ^бњща'ющи не ѓ^стави'ти наслњдъствїя е^го” Є$гда' же даде е^мђ і^саа'ка, і^ и^саа'кђ даде і^а'кова і^ и^сава,
|
and madest an everlasting covenant with him, promising him that thou wouldest never forsake his seed.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
и^збраl е^си себњ` і^а'кова, і^сава же эTве'рже, и^ раз#мно'жися і^а'ковъ въ мно'жество ве'лїе”
|
And unto him thou gavest Isaac, and unto Isaac thou gavest Jacob and Esau. And thou didst set apart Jacob for thyself, but didst put by Esau: and Jacob became a great multitude.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
И$ бысть е^гда` и^звелъ е^си и^зъ е^гљ=пта сњмя е^го, приведе` и& къ горњ` сїнаи`,
|
And it came to pass, that when thou leddest his seed out of Egypt, thou broughtest them up to the mount Sinai.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
преклони'лъ е^си нб~са и^ смири землю. поколњба'лъ е^си вселе'нђю, и^ трепета'ти сътвори'лъ е^си безднњ. и^ воZмђтилъ е^си ми'ръ.
|
Thou bowedst the heavens also, and didst shake the earth, and movedst the whole world, and madest the depths to tremble, and troubledst the course of that age.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
и^ проидеT сла'ва твоя` вра'ты четвертыми, ѓ^гнеM и^ земнымъ трясе'нїемъ и^ вњтромъ, и^ мра'зомъ” да даси` зако'нъ сњмени і^а'ковлю, и^ ро'дђ і^и^л~евђ прилњжа'нїе”
|
And thy glory went through four gates, of fire, and of earthquake, and of wind, and of cold; that thou mightest give the law unto the seed of Jacob, and the commandment unto the generation of Israel.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
Точїю не эTја%лъ е^си срDце лђка'во да законъ твои сътвори'тъ в ни'хъ приѓ^брњтенїе,
|
And yet tookest thou not away from them their wicked heart, that thy law might bring forth fruit in them.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
срDце б^о лђка'во нося` пр'ьвыи а^да'мъ, престђпи` и^ побњжеn бысть, и^ та'ко вс^и и^же эT него роди'шася,
|
For the first Adam bearing a wicked heart transgressed, and was overcome; and not he only, but all they also that are born of him.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
и^ б^њ всегда недђ'гъ съпряжеn съ зако'номъ въ срDцахъ члч~ескихъ лђка'вна ради кореня, тако и^же чт^о б^њ бл~го преста. и^ чт^о бњ` ѕл^о наста`
|
Thus disease was made permanent; and the law was in the heart of the people along with the wickedness of the root; so the good departed away, and that which was wicked abode still.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
и^ преидо'ша времена` и^ сконъча'шася лњта. и^ въздви'глъ е^си себњ` раба` и^мене'мъ дв~да.
|
So the times passed away, and the years were brought to an end: then didst thou raise thee up a servant, called David,
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
е^мђже повелњ соѕида'ти граD и%мени твое^мђ, и^ приноси'ти т^ђ џимїяM и^ жертвђ”
|
whom thou commandedest to build a city unto thy name, and to offer oblations unto thee therein of thine own.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
И$ е^гда` б^њ мно'га лњта, живђщїа въ тоM гра'дњ, эTстђпи'ша
|
When this was done many years, then they that inhabited the city did evil,
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
послњдђ'юще лђка'вомђ мышленїю а^да'мовђ, и^ вс^я наслDњствїа е^го. поне'же и^ са'ми бы'ша срDцеM лђка'ви.
|
in all things doing even as Adam and all his generations had done: for they also bare a wicked heart:
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
того' же ра'ди граD твои предалъ е^си в рђки вра'гъ твоиX,
|
and so thou gavest thy city over into the hands of thine enemies.
|
|
28
|
28
|
|
ни л^и лђчша'я сътвори'ша и^же ѓ^бита'ют# въ вављ=лонњ. и^ того ради владњ'ют# сїѓ'номъ”
|
And I said then in my heart, are their deeds any better that inhabit Babylon? and hath she therefore dominion over Zion?
|
|
29
|
29
|
|
И$ бы'сть е^гда` прїидо'хъ зд^њ и^ ви'дњхъ непра'вды и%мже нњсть числа`. и^ мно'гихъ съгрњша'ющихъ ви'дњ дш~а моя` да'же до л~ лњта, и^ ё^жасеся срDце мое`
|
For it came to pass when I came hither, that I saw also impieties without number, and my soul saw many evildoers in this thirtieth year, so that my heart failed me.
|
|
30
|
30
|
|
и^же ви'дњхъ мно'жество престђ'пныхъ, и^ како е^си иM тръпњлъ съгрњшающимъ, эTпђща'ющи тMњ и^же лђка'вое творя'хђ, и^ погђби'лъ е^си лю'дїе твои` съхраниl же е^си враги твоа. не возвњщающи никомђ'же,
|
For I have seen how thou sufferest them sinning, and hast spared the ungodly doers, and hast destroyed thy people, and hast preserved thine enemies; and thou hast not signified
|
|
31
|
31
|
|
вои%стиннђ не вњм# како сїя вразђмњти и'мамъ, е^да сђть дњла добрњ'ишая вављ=лонскїя нежели сїѓ'ньскїя,
|
unto any how thy way may be comprehended. Are the deeds of Babylon better than those of Zion?
|
|
32
|
32
|
|
е^гда` позна'ша тебе` прочїи` ја^зы'цы паче і^и^л~я. и^ кацыи ја^зы'цы ё^вњри'ша свњдњтельствђ твое^мђ ја^коже і^а'ковль,
|
Or is there any other nation that knoweth thee beside Israel? or what tribes have so believed thy covenants as these tribes of Jacob?
|
|
33
|
33
|
|
тXњ б^о м#зDа не и^зъја^вля'ется. и^ трђдъ и^хъ не тво'ритъ кори'сти. поне'же живђщи и^ ходя'щи по'средњ ја^зы'къ ви'дњхъ я& процвњта'юща. чтоже и^же не въспомянђша повелњнїи твоиX.
|
And yet their reward appeareth not, and their labor hath no fruit: for I have gone hither and thither through the nations, and I see that they abound in wealth, and think not upon thy commandments.
|
|
34
|
34
|
|
нн~њ же и^змњри` на мњрилехъ лђка'въствїе на'ше съ лђка'в#ствїемъ прочїихъ живђщихъ на земли`, и^ нигдњ` не ѓ^бря'щется и^мя твое толи'ко въ і^и~ли.
|
Weigh thou therefore our iniquities now in the balance, and theirs also that dwell in the world; and so shall it be found which way the scale inclineth.
|
|
35
|
35
|
|
и^ е^гда` не съгрњши'ша преD тобо'ю живђщїи на земли`” И$ли` ко'и ја^зы'къ та'ко въздръжа'лъ за'повњди твоа`.
|
Or when was it that they that dwell upon the earth have not sinned in thy sight? or what nation hath so kept thy commandments?
|
|
36
|
36
|
|
въи'стиннђ толи'ко сїи` съхраня'ше повеленїя твоа`, а^ не ја^зы'цы”
|
Thou shalt find that men who may be reckoned by name have kept thy precepts; but nations thou shalt not find.
|
