|
|
Тогда` эTвњща` къ мнњ` а^гг~лъ е^мђже и^мя ё^рїи^лъ, и^же по'слаn б^њ къ мнњ,
|
And the angel that was sent unto me, whose name was Uriel, gave me an answer,
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
и^ рече м^и въ ё%жасњ и^стђпи` срDце твое` въ вњ'цњ семъ, поне'же хо'щеши и^спыта'ти пђти вы'шнего, а^з же эTвњщаX”
|
and said to me, thy heart hath utterly failed thee in regarding this world, and thinkest thou to comprehend the way of the Most High?
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
Та'ко е^сть г~и мо'и, ѓ%н же къ мнњ` рече си'це. тр^и пђти` по'сланъ е^смь показа'ти тебњ и^ тр^и подо'бїя преDста'вити преD тобо'ю.
|
Then said I, Yea my Lord. And he answered me, and said, I am sent to show thee three ways, and to set forth three similitudes before thee:
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
эT ни'х#же е^гда` м^и е^ді'нђ и^з#ја^ви'ши. а%зъ ти покажђ` пђть е^го'же жела'еши ви'дњти. и^ наё^чю т^я эTкђ'дђ въ срDце лђка'во прихо'дитъ,
|
whereof if thou canst declare me one, I also will show thee the way that thou desirest to see, and I will teach thee wherefore the heart is wicked.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
и^ реко'хъ възвњсти` г~и мои, и^ рече, и^ди` і^ и^зва'жи м^и ѓ^гня` тя'гость, и^ли и^з#мњ'ри дыха'нїе вњтра, и^ли въз#врати въспя'ть дн~ь и^же ми'мои^де`”
|
And I said, say on, my Lord. Then said he unto me, Go to, weigh me a weight of fire, or measure me a measure of wind, or call me again the day that is past.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
А/з# же эTвњща'хъ, е^гда` ли сїа чл~къ сътво'ритъ, е^же т^ы хо'щеши эT мене ё^вњ'дити;
|
Then answered I and said, who of the sons of men is able to do this, that thou shouldest ask me of such things?
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
ѓ%нже реq, въпрошђ` ли т^я ка'ко е^сть мно'го жили'ща посреd мо'ря, и^ли ка'ко мно'го и^сто'чникъ эT нача'ла бе'здны, и^ли и^сто'чниковъ на ѓ^крђзњ нбsнњмъ, и^ли чт^о сђть предњлы ра'иски,
|
And he said unto me, If I had asked thee, saying, How many dwellings are there in the heart of the sea? or how many springs are there at the fountain head of the deep? or how many ways are above the firmament? or which are the outgoings of Hades? or which are the paths of paradise?
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
и^ бђ'деши эTвещати и^ въ бе'зднђ не снидоX ни во а%дъ па'ки, ни на нб~са нико'лиже възыидо'хъ”
|
peradventure thou wouldest say unto me, I never went down into the deep, nor as yet into Hades, neither did I ever climb up into heaven.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
Нн~њ же ѓ^ се'мъ не въпроси'хъ т^я, толи'ко ѓ^ ѓ^гни` и^ вњтрњ, и дн~и во'ньже е^си пребыва'лъ, и^ без# си'хъ ве'щеи бы'ти не мо'жеши, ты же ѓ сихъ ничт^о ми эTвњща`”
|
Nevertheless now have I asked thee but only of the fire and wind, and of the day, things wherethrough thou hast passed, and without which thou canst not be, and yet hast thou given me no answer of them.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
И$ па'ки м^и рече, чт^о е^сть твое^го, и^ чт^о с тобо'ю и^зрасте`, зна'ти не мо'жеши”
|
He said moreover unto me, Thine own things, that are grown up with thee, canst thou not know;
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
И$ ка'коже сїи сђ'дъ твой възмо'жетъ ѓ^бъја%ти пђти` вы'шняго, и^ли свњтъ и^з#внђ` растлњ'нъ, ка'ко и%мать разђмњти растлњ'нїе е^же а^зъ зрю`.
|
how then can thy vessel comprehend the way of the Most High? and how can he that is already worn out with the corrupted world understand incorruption?
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
и^ реко'хъ къ немђ, лђчши дабы е^смы` не бы'ли, нежели бы'ти живђще въ ѕлњ` и^ претрьпњвати невњ'дђще чесо` ра'ди”
|
And when I heard these things I fell upon my face, and said unto him, It were better that we were not here at all, than that we should come hither and live in the midst of ungodliness, and suffer, and not know wherefore.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
ѓ%нъ же эTвњща` м^и, прїидоX къ нњ'кои пђсты'ни, и^деже древа совњтъ сътвори'ша
|
He answered me, and said, The woods of the trees of the field went forth, and took counsel together,
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
гл~ющи, прїидњте і^ и'демъ и^ двигнемъ бра'нь на' море да преD на'ми побњ'гнетъ” И$ да сътво'римъ себњ и%ныя дђбра'вы”
|
and said, Come, let us go and make war against the sea, that it may depart away before us, and that we may make us more woods.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
Та'коже и^ волны` мо'рскїи совњтъ сътвори'ша гл~юще. поидимъ и^ двигнњмъ бра'нь на лњсы по'льныя, да побњди'вши и^хъ въспрїимемъ себњ и%ное мњсто”
|
The waves of the sea also in like manner took counsel together, and said, Come, let us go up and subdue the wood of the plain, that there also we may make us another country.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
Мышле'нїя же лњсовъ б^њ пра'зна. поне'же прїиде ѓ%гнь и^ пож#же иX,
|
The counsel of the wood was in vain, for the fire came and consumed it:
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
та'коже и^ во'лнъ мо'рьскихъ, поне'же въздержа` и& пњсо'къ и^ не даде` иM”
|
likewise also the counsel of the waves of the sea, for the sand stood up and stopped them.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
И$ е^гда` бы е^си бы'лъ сђдїя и^хъ, кое^го бы е^си эT сихъ ѓ^правда'лъ, и^ли ви'нна сътвори'лъ”
|
If thou wert judge now between these two, whom wouldest thou justify, or whom condemn?
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
эTвњща'хъ а^зъ, въи%стиннђ въ совњтъ сђетенъ въда'шася, понеже земля` да'на лњсоM, и^ мо'рю мњ'сто, е^же ноша'ше во'лны е^го,
|
I answered and said, it is a foolish counsel that they both have taken, for the ground is given unto the wood, and the place of the sea is given to bear its waves.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
ѓ%н же рече къ мнњ, пра'во рассђди'лъ е^си, чесоже ради себе не сђ'диши,
|
Then answered he me, and said, Thou hast given a right judgment, and why judgest thou not in thine own case?
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
поне'же ка'ко земля` дђбра'вамъ и^ мо'ре же волнамъ свои^мъ да'но е^сть, та'коже и^же ѓ^бита'ютъ на земли`” Толи'ко вещи зе'мныя разђмњва'юT, а^ е^же на' нб~си і^ и'же на высотњ`
|
For like as the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea to his waves, even so they that dwell upon the earth may understand nothing but that which is upon the earth: and he only that dwelleth above the heavens may understand the things that are above the height of the heavens.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
и^хъ, И$ эTвњща'хъ си'це, молю' ти ся г~и, мн^њ да'сться ё%мъ разђмњнїя,
|
Then answered I and said, I beseech thee, O Lord, wherefore is the power of understanding given unto me?
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
не бо` хотњхъ въпроси'ти ѓ^ вы'шниX твои^хъ. но ѓ^ сихъ и^же всегда` в наs быва'ютъ, чесо ра'ди і^и^л~ь да'нъ въ порђга'нїе ја%зы'комъ” И$ чесо` ра'ди лю'дїе твои` възлю'бленїи да'ны ја^зы'комъ нечести'вымъ” И$ чесо` ра'ди зако'нъ эTц~ъ на'шихъ в па'гђбђ, иZведе'нъ бы'сть и^ расмотре'нїе писа'нїи не сђть”
|
For it was not in my mind to be curious of the ways above, but of such things as pass by us daily; because Israel is given up as a reproach to the heathen, and the people whom thou hast loved is given over unto ungodly nations, and the law of our forefathers is made of none effect, and the written covenants are nowhere regarded,
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
Чесо ра'ди вездњ ѓ^бита'ем# ја%ко гђсе'ница, живђщи въ вели'цеM стра'сњ и^ ё'жасњ. и^ недосто'ины е^смы` млsти твое^я наслњди'ти”
|
and we pass away out of the world as grasshoppers, and our life is as a vapor, neither are we worthy to obtain mercy.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
И$ чт^о сътворимъ съ и^менемъ своиM, е^гоже м^ы нарица'емъ, сїа сђть е^го'же а^зъ въпраша'ю,
|
What will he then do for his name whereby we are called? Of these things have I asked.
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
ѓ%н же рече, коли'ко бо'леи въпраша'ти и%маши, толи'ко бо'ле и^ ё^диви'шися” Поне'же нђж'но прилежитъ вњ'къ проити`,
|
Then he answered me, and said, if thou be alive thou shalt see, and if thou livest long, thou shalt marvel; for the world hasteneth fast to pass away.
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
и^ не възмо'жеши разђмњти чт^о пра'веDныM ѓ^бњща'нна сђть”
|
For it is not able to bear the things that are promised to the righteous in the times to come: for this world is full of sadness and infirmities.
|
|
28
|
28
|
|
Поне'же непра'вды і^спо'лнь вњкъ се'и и^ немощеи. а^ ѓ^ неMже въпраша'еши възвњщђ тебњ, насњяшася лђка'в#ствїа, и^ не ё& прїиде поги'бель е^го,
|
For the evil whereof thou askest me is sown, but the gathering thereof is not yet come.
|
|
29
|
29
|
|
и^ е^гда` ли не възвратиTся е^же ся насњя`, и^ не погђби'тся мњ'сто и^де'же насњ'яно лђка'в#ство, не прїидетъ гдњ насњя'но е^сть бл~го,
|
If therefore that which is sown be not reaped, and if the place where the evil is sown pass not away, there cannot come the field where the good is sown.
|
|
30
|
30
|
|
поне'же зе'рно сњ'мени зла'го, е^же въсњя'но въ срDце а^да'мово, и^з нача'ла ка'ко мно'го ѕл^а роди` и^ до нн~њ. и^ родиT да'же до жа'твы,
|
For a grain of evil seed was sown in the heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much wickedness hath it brought forth unto this time! and how much shall it yet bring forth until the time of threshing come!
|
|
31
|
31
|
|
воньми` самъ себњ`, ка'ко мно'го ё^мно'жи пло'да ѕла'го зе'рно сњмени лђка'ва,
|
Ponder now by thyself, how great fruit of wickedness a grain of evil seed hath brought forth.
|
|
32
|
32
|
|
и^ гдњ бђ'дђтъ не съчте'ныя лђка'в#ства посњ'ены, ка'ко бђ'детъ ве'лїе пожа'тїе ё^гото'вано.
|
When the ears which are without number shall be sown, how great a floor shall they fill!
|
|
33
|
33
|
|
не эTвњщахъ гл~я, когда, и^ въ кое вре'мя сїа бђ'дђтъ, и^ чесо ра'ди кра'т#ки и^ не бл~ги лњта на'ша,
|
Then I answered and said, How long? and when shall these things come to pass? wherefore are our years few and evil?
|
|
34
|
34
|
|
ѓ%нже рече не бђ'ди ско'ръ паче вы'шняго, поне'же въсђе прилежи'ши е^го превы'шити и^же ё%жасъ твои мно'гъ,
|
And he answered me, and said, Thou dost not hasten more than the Most High: for thy haste is for thine own self, but he that is above hasteneth on behalf of many.
|
|
35
|
35
|
|
е^да` не въпраша'ша дш~а пра'веDныхъ ѓ^ тацXњ ве'щаX въ затворе'нїю свое^мъ гл~я” доко'лњ та'ко надњ'ющися бђ'демъ, и^ е^гда` прїидђтъ намъ пло'ды жа'твы на'шея въспрїя'тїе м#зды`”
|
Did not the souls of the righteous ask question of these things in their chambers, saying, How long are we here? when cometh the fruit of the threshing time of our reward?
|
|
36
|
36
|
|
а^рхаа^гг~лъ же ё^рїи^лъ эTвњща` м^и. е^гда` и^спо'лнится число` сњмени въ васъ, ја%ко въ скала'хъ вњ'къ,
|
And unto them Jeremiel the archangel gave answer, and said, Even when the number is fulfilled of them that are like unto you. For he hath weighed the world in the balance;
|
|
37
|
37
|
|
мњ'рђ мњри'л# времена и^ число'мъ съчте часы`, и^ не въсколњба` ни възбђди`, да'же и^споlнится преDрече'нная мњ'ра”
|
and by measure hath he measured the times, and by number hath he numbered the seasons; and he shall not move nor stir them, until the said measure be fulfilled.
|
|
38
|
38
|
|
И$ эTвњща'хъ гл~я, ЭO влDко г~и. н^о и^ м^ы сиX исполнены нече'стїа,
|
Then answered I and said, O Lord that bearest rule, yet even we all are full of impiety:
|
|
39
|
39
|
|
и^ наs ради е^гда ли не прїидетъ жа'тва пра'ведныX, ра'ди грњхо'въ ѓ^бита'ющиX на земли`,
|
and for our sakes peradventure it is that the threshing time of the righteous is kept back, because of the sins of them that dwell upon the earth.
|
|
40
|
40
|
|
ѓ%нже рече, и^ди и^ въпроси и^мђщая въ чре'вњ, е^гда ли носи'вши џ~ мsцеи възмо'жетъ живо'тъ е^я` в себњ съдрьжа'ти пло'дъ,
|
So he answered me, and said, Go thy way to a woman with child, and ask of her when she hath fulfilled her nine months, if her womb may keep the birth any longer within her.
|
|
41
|
41
|
|
и^ а'зъ эTвњщаX, въи%стиннђ не възмо'жетъ” ѓ%нже эTвњща`, въ преи^споDнихъ ѓ^би'тели дш~ъ сђть подо'бныя животђ.
|
Then said I, No, Lord, that can it not. And he said unto me, in Hades the chambers of souls are like the womb:
|
|
42
|
42
|
|
поне'же ка'ко родя'щая хо'щетъ въско'рњ роди'ти, та'кожде сїи хо'щђтъ да эTдадђтъ и^мъ вданое,
|
for like as a woman that travaileth maketh haste to escape the anguish of the travail: even so do these places hasten to deliver those things that are committed unto them from the beginning.
|
|
43
|
43
|
|
из нача'ла же възвњщђ, і^ и^з#ја^влю тебњ` е^го'же хо'щеши сматря'ти,
|
Then shall it be shown thee concerning those things which thou desirest to see.
|
|
44
|
44
|
|
и^ эTвњщаX е^гда ли ѓ^брњто'хъ блгDть преD тобо'ю” И$ е^гда ли възмо'жно сїя и^ а'з#ъ же досто'и^нъ ли
|
Then answered I and said, if I have found favor in thy sight, and if it be possible, and if I be meet therefore,
|
|
45
|
45
|
|
покажи м^и, е^гда` ли бо'леи е^сть вре'мени прїидђщаго нежели преидђщаго, и^ли преидђщаго, нежели прїидђщаго”
|
show me this also, whether there be more to come than is past, or whether the more part is gone over us.
|
|
46
|
46
|
|
Вњ'мъ бо е^же преиде, того же не вњ'мъ чт^о прїити и%маT”
|
For what is gone I know, but what is to come I know not.
|
|
47
|
47
|
|
ѓ%н же реq ста'ни ѓ^деснђ'ю мене`, аZ же тебњ` и^з#ја^влю при'т#чею,
|
And he said unto me, Stand up upon the right side, and I shall expound the similitude unto thee.
|
|
48
|
48
|
|
и^ ста'хъ и^ ви'дњхъ и^ с^е пе'щь горя'щая про'идеT предо мно'ю. е^гда же пла'мень преста`, и^ ды'мъ е^ще` ѓ^ста`
|
So I stood, and saw, and, behold, a hot burning oven passed by before me: and it happened, that when the flame was gone by I looked, and, behold, the smoke remained still.
|
|
49
|
49
|
|
посемъ проиде же предо мно'ю ѓ%блакъ и^сполнь воды`. и^з него'же ся и^спђсти до'ждь ве'лїи. и^ е^гDа про'иде стремленїе дожда, ё^мно'жишася на неM ка'пля.
|
After this there passed by before me a watery cloud, and sent down much rain with a storm; and when the stormy rain was past, the drops remained therein still.
|
|
50
|
50
|
|
и^ реq къ мнњ`. внима'и себњ`, ја%ко растеT дожDь на'ипаq неже ка'пли, и^ ѓ'гнь неже ды'мъ” Та'ко бо'льшая е^сть мњ'ра неже пре'иде, преё^мно'жиша же ка'пля и^ дыM.
|
Then said he unto me, Consider with thyself; as the rain is more than the drops, and the fire is greater than the smoke, so the quantity which is past did more exceed; but the drops and the smoke remained still.
|
|
51
|
51
|
|
и^ си'це молиXся, е^да ли` а'зъ та'ко доlго жи'ти и'маM, и^ли чт^о и'мать прїити в та` времена`
|
Then I prayed, and said, May I live, thinkest thou, until that time? or who shall be in those days?
|
|
52
|
52
|
|
и^ эTвњща' ми гл~я” Э$ зна'менїяхъ си'хъ и^же м^я въпраша'еши, эT ча'сти могђ т^и гл~ати, толи'ко нњсмь по'сланъ да повњмъ тебњ` ѓ^ животњ` твоеM н^о не свњмъ”
|
He answered me, and said, As for the tokens whereof thou askest me, I may tell thee of them in part: but as touching thy life, I am not sent to show thee; for I do not know it.
