Єлеа^за'ръ же нњкто мђжъ зна'емъ эT і^ере'и страны` тоя`. въ ста'рости ё^же` прешеD во'зрастомъ, и^ всею добродњтелїю въ жи'тїи ё^кра'шенъ, и^же ё^стро'и ѓ'крsтъ себе преꙁвитери призывати ст~аго б~а. такоже и^ сам# моля'шеся си'це. ЭO
|
And Eleazar, an illustrious priest of the country, who had attained to length of days, and whose life had been adorned with virtue, caused the presbyters who were about him to cease to cry out to the holy God, and prayed thus:
|

|
цр~ю вы'шнїи всекрњпкїи вседръжи'телю бж~е, и^же създа'нїе все` строя'й въ щедрота'хъ. възри` нн~њ на сᲇмя а^враа'мле, и^ на сщ~енаа ча'да і^а'ковля, часть сщ~енђю людїи твоиX бж~е эTч~е. и^же в# земли` чю'ждеи страnствђющђю, и^ бес пра'вды погиба'ю^щђю”
|
O King, mighty in power, most high, Almighty God, who regulatest the whole creation with thy tender mercy,
|

|
Ты бо фараѓ'на прьвње въ е^гљ=птњ силнаго, ё^мно'женаго в# колесни'цахъ, и^ възнося'щагося дръзостїю беꙁъ млsти, и^ ја^зы'комъ велерњчђюща съ гръдыми во'и пон#тоM въ ма'ле погђби`. ро'дђ же і^и^л~евђ свᲇтомъ проја^ви` млsть”
|
look upon the seed of Abraham, upon the children of the sanctified Jacob, thy sanctified inheritance, O Father, now being wrongfully destroyed as strangers in a strange land.
|

Ты` и^ възвели'чившагося сенахери'ма цр~я а^сљ=рїискаго в тя'гости погђби`, съ бесчи'слен#ными во'и, и^же ко'пїемъ поDрђчнђ сътвори` всю зе'млю. и^ низложенъ бысть ст~аго ради гра'да твоеh, хђлна б^о и^ прегръда на'нь гл~а. сътвори'лъ б^о е^си сїя да и^ꙁвњстнђ пока'жеши ја%зы'комъ многою твою дръжа'вђ”
|
Thou destroyedst Pharaoh, with his host of chariots, when that lord of this same Egypt was uplifted with lawless hardihood and loud-sounding tongue. Shedding the beams of thy mercy upon the race of Israel, thou didst overwhelm him with his proud army.
|

Ты` и^ въ вављ=ло'не трїех# ѓ^тро'къ ѓ^гню дш~а на погђбле'нїе, въ е^же не слђжи'ти то'кмо скве'рныM, ѓ^гня` пе'щнаго ѓ^броси'телне и^ꙁба'вилъ е^си даже до вла'съ невреди'мы, пла'мень же весь посла'лъ е^си съпроти'внымъ”
|
When Sennacherim, the grievous king of the Assyrians, glorying in his countless hosts, had subdued the whole land with his spear, and was lifting himself against thy holy city, with boastings grievous to be endured, thou, O Lord, didst demolish him and didst shew forth thy might to many nations.

Ты` данїила за'вистїю дїаволею въвръжена в ро'въ на снњде'нїе льво'мъ звњремъ сверњпымъ, на свњтъ и^зве'лъ е^си здра'ва. и^ і^ѓ'нђ эT чре'ва кљ'та мор#скаго храни'теля въ глђбинњ` та'емаго неща'дне, всMњ свои^мъ показа'лъ е^си.
|
When the three friends in the land of Babylon of their own will exposed their lives to the fire rather than serve vain things, thou didst send a dewy coolness through the fiery furnace, and bring the fire upon all their adversaries.
|

и^ н~нњ ѓ& эTч~е не ты ли е%си всњ'хъ млsтивыи присети'тель; въскорњ ја^вися сђщимъ эT ро'да і^и^л~ьска. і^ и^ꙁба'ви эT ја^ꙁы'къ хђлныхъ, и^ ѓ^скверне'ныхъ”
|
It was thou who, when Daniel was hurled, through slander and envy, as a prey to lions down below, didst bring him back again unhurt to light.

А$щеy нечестїемъ ѓ^бъја%то е^сть въ преселе'нїю жи'тїе на'ше. т^ы и^ꙁба'вивыи насъ эT рђкђ вра'гъ си'хъ. ја%ко прои^ꙁво'лиши влDко погђби. то'кмо
|
When Jonah was pining away in the belly of the sea-bred monster, thou didst look upon him, O Father, and recover him to the sight of his own.

да не сђ'етныхъ сђемђдрїи блsвятъ ѓ^ погђбле'нїи въꙁлю'бленныX, гл~щи, ниже б~ъ и^хъ и^ꙁба'ви и^хъ. тњмже
|
And now, thou who hatest insolence; thou who dost abound in mercy; thou who art the protector of all things; appear quickly to those of the race of Israel, who are insulted by abhorred, lawless Gentiles.
|

|
т^ы и^же вся'кђ крњпость и^ силђ и^мᲇя'й превњчныи вся'ческихъ, нн~њ при'зри
|
If our life has during our exile been stained with iniquity, deliver us from the hand of the enemy, and destroy us, O Lord, by the death which thou preferrest.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
и^ поми'лђи насъ въ хђле'нїи беꙁако'нныхъ безсловесне преда'тель ѓ'браꙁы живота` лиша'емыхъ.
|
Let not the vain-minded congratulate vain idols at the destruction of thy beloved, saying, Neither did their God deliver them.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
да ё^дивятся нн~њ ја%ꙁы'цы несчи'сленои крњпости твоеи. и^ си'лњ твое'и ю'же и^маши ѓ^ сп~сенїи ро'да і^а'ковля. н~нњ б^от^я
|
Thou who art All-powerful and Almighty, O Eternal One, behold! have mercy upon us who are being withdrawn from life, like traitors, by the unreasoning insolence of lawless men.
|
|
13
|

|
|
мо'литъ вс^е мно'жество младе'нецъ, и^ роди'тели и^хъ съ слеза'ми. покажи нн~њ ја%ко с на'ми е^си г~и. и^ не эTврати` лица` твое^го эT наs.
|
Let the heathen cower before thy invincible might to-day, O glorious One, who hast all power to save the race of Jacob.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
н^о ја%коже реклъ е^си, ниже въ земли` врагъ, своя` преꙁри'ши, сїе нн~њ съвръши г~и.
|
The whole band of infants and their parents with tears beseech thee.
|
|
15
|

|
|
е^леа^ꙁа'рђ же конча'ющђ ё^же` мл~твђ сїю” Цр~ь же съ ꙁвњ'рми и^ ве'лїею силою во'и прибли'жилъся еs къ и^подро'мђ.
|
Let it be shewn to all the nations that thou art with us, O Lord, and hast not turned thy face away from us; but as thou saidst that thou wouldst not forget them even in the land of their enemies, so do thou fulfil this saying, O Lord.
|
|
16

|
|
ви'дњвши же і^ё^де'и вельма въ нб~о въꙁъпи'ша, ја%коже и^ прилежа'щимъ бра'ꙁдамъ растръꙁа'тися. и^ не ё^дръжи'мъ пла'чь сътвори'ша всњмъ во'емъ”
|
Now, at the time that Eleazar had ended his prayer, the king came along to the hippodrome, with the wild beasts, and with his tumultuous power.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
Тогда` велесла'вныи вседръжитель, и'стинныи б~ъ јави ст~ое свое` лице. и^ эTврьꙁе две'ри нбsныя, и^ꙁ ниX же ја^вишася дв^а лњпа и^ стра'шна а^гг~ла, и^ снидо'ша ја^вле'не всњмъ. ра'ꙁвњ і^ё^де'ѓ^мъ.
|
When the Jews saw this, they uttered a loud cry to heaven, so that the adjacent valleys resounded, and caused an irrepressible lamentation throughout the army.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
и^же съпроти'въ ста'ша и^ си'лђ сђпоста'тъ и^сполниша смяᲄе'нїя, и^ ё'жаса. и^ нерастерꙁаными пђты свя'ꙁаша неподви'жне. та'коy и^ тњло цр~ьское. и^ дръꙁость е^го и^же тя'жкимъ гнњвомъ ѓ^бъя'та бњ` раꙁреши'ся.
|
Then the all-glorious, all-powerful, and true God, displayed his holy countenance, and opened the gates of heaven, from which two angels, dreadful of form, came down, and were visible to all but the Jews.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
звњри же на послњдђ'ющая въѓ^рђже'ныя во'и ѓ^брати'шаs и^ попира'хђ и^хъ, и^ погђбля'хђ.
|
And they stood opposite, and filled the enemies' host with confusion and cowardice; and bound them with immoveable fetters.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
и^ внеза'пђ ѓ^брати'ся гнњвъ цр~ьскїи въ ё^миле'нїе, и^ слеꙁя'ше преDё^гото'ваныхъ ра'ди и^мъ мђче'нїи.
|
And a cold shudder came over the person of the king, and oblivion paralysed the vehemence of his spirit.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
слы'ша б^о во'пль, и^ ви'дњ въскорњ погиба'ю^щихъ, прослеꙁи`, и^ съ гнњвомъ дрђгомъ преща'ше, гл~я,
|
They turned back the animals upon the armed forces which followed them; and the animals trod them down, and destroyed them.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
вы` прецрsтвђ'ете, и^ мђчи'тельско прехо'дите подо'бїе, и^ поси'хъ мене ва'шего бл~года'теля низлагаете, и^ дђхъ премени'ти ловя'ще. ја%же неполеꙁнA црsтвђ сътвори'ти.
|
The king's wrath was converted into compassion; and he wept at his own machinations.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
і^ и^же к на'мъ дръжа'внихъ въ вњре страны` твердыня. эT до'мђ эTлђчи'вши кое^гождо бесловесне здњ` събра'сте.
|
For when he heard the cry, and saw them all on the verge of destruction, with tears he angrily threatened his friends, saying,
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
кто же и^ныи ра'ꙁвње ваs си'це неподо'бными ѓ^бъя'тъ ја%ꙁвами. и^же и^ꙁ нача'ла бл~гораꙁђмїе к на'мъ покаꙁђ'ющиX, и^ по всемђ разня'щихъ эT всњхъ ја%зыk и^ эT ꙁлњ'ишихъ чл~къ мно'жицею поDја%ша бњды.
|
Ye have governed badly; and have exceeded tyrants in cruelty; and me your benefactor ye have laboured to deprive at once of my dominion and my life, by secretly devising measures injurious to the kingdom.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
тњмже рᲇша'щи раѕрᲇши'те непра'ведныя ё'ꙁы, и^ вᲆ своа и^хъ съ ми'ромъ посли'те” Но противле'нїя дњлма свое^го е^же к ним#, примири'теся прежде съ ни'ми. и^ тогда по'слете свобо'дны сн~ы вседрᲆжи'теля бг~а жива'го на нб~си. и^же эT начала роди'телеи нашихъ да'же до нн~њ непрет#кнове'нно въ сла'вњ бл~го стоа'нїя съдръжитъ вещи на'ши.
|
Who has gathered here, unreasonably removing each from his home, those who, in fidelity to us, had held the fortresses of the country?
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
рекшђ же ё^бо е^мђ сїя, і^ё^деи` въско'рњ раꙁрњше'ни бы'ша. и^ вънегда и^збњго'ша сме'рти, ст~аго б~а и^хъ блsвяхђ”
|
Who has thus consigned to unmerited punishments those who in good will towards us from the beginning have in all things surpassed all nations, and who often have engaged in the most dangerous undertakings?
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
Посемъ цр~ь въ' градъ въꙁврати'ся, и^ приꙁва и^же наD росхо'ды старњ'ишаго, и^ повелњ дая'ти вино`, и^ про'чая къ пирова'нїю потре'бная, і^ё^де'ѓмъ на дн~їи з~. по повелᲇнїю же се'мъ сђди и^мъ та'може в# веселїи дн~ь спsнїа провожDати, в неMже мњсте мнњша поги'бель вꙁя'ти”
|
Loose, loose the unjust bonds; send them to their homes in peace, and deprecate what has been done.
|
|
28
|
28
|
|
Тогда` и^же прьвње въ поноше'нїи бы'ша бли'зъ а%да. на'ипаче же эT сосњд# въ порђга'нїи ꙁа го'ркђю и^ бњ'дно подъе%млемђю сме'рть. нн~њ же пирова'нїе сп~сенїя свое^го съста'виша, и^ мњсто ё^готова'нное въ паде'нїе гробъ и^хъ, въ весе'лїе сњда'нїя раздњли'ша,
|
Release the sons of the almighty living God of heaven, who from our ancestors' times until now has granted a glorious and uninterrupted prosperity to our affairs.
|
|
29
|
29
|
|
и ѓ^ста'виша рыда'нїе, и^ сњтова'нїе вс^е смятенїя эTвръго'ша, и^ въспрїе'м#ши пњсни эTч~ескимъ гла'сомъ хвали'ша чюдотворца б~а и^ сп~са и^хъ.
|
These things he said: and they, released the same moment, having now escaped death, praised God their holy Saviour.
|
|
30
|
30
|
|
и^ цр~ь же състави ради и^хъ порова'нїе ѕелное. и^ беZпреста'ни въꙁира'ше на нб~о и^сповњда'ше вели'колᲇпне дръжа'вђ е^го, бы'вшаго ради пресла'внаго сп~сенїя”
|
The king then departed to the city, and called his financier to him, and bade him provide a seven days' quantity of wine and other materials for feasting for the Jews. He decided that they should keep a gladsome festival of deliverance in the very place in which they expected to meet with their destruction.
|
|
31
|
31
|
|
Полага'вшїи же і^ё^де'и прьвње въ погибель ѓ^слоја^ди'телных# пти'ць, та'кожDе и^ съ радостїю пописа'вшїи. срамото'ю ѓ^бъја%ти бы'вше стеня'хђ. ви'дᲇша б^о ѓ^гнедыха'тел#нђю и^хъ дръзость нестро'ине ё^га'шенђ”
|
Then they who were before despised and nigh unto Hades, yea, rather advanced into it, partook of the cup of salvation, instead of a grievous and lamentable death. Full of exultation, they parted out the place intended for their fall and burial into banqueting booths.
|
|
32
|
32
|
|
І$ё^де'и же ја%ко преDрекохомъ състави'ша свобо'ды веселїя, и^ съ блsве'нїемъ въ и^сповњда'нїи смире'нне и^ ўа'лмехъ провожда'хђ.
|
Ceasing their miserable strain of woe, they took up the subject of their fatherland, hymning in praise God their wonder-working Saviour. All groans, all wailing, were laid aside: they formed dances in token of serene joy.
|
|
33
|
33
|
|
И$ посе'мъ ё^ста'виша ѓ^бщїи наро'къ, въ все` преселе'нїе и^хъ въ ро'ды. е^же предъреченыа дн~и празнDова'ти вᲆ весе'лїи, не пи'тїя ради, и^ ја^денїя, н^о сп~се'нїя ра'ди бы'вшаго и^мъ эT бг~а”
|
So, also, the king collected a number of guests for the occasion, and returned unceasing thanks with much magnificence for the unexpected deliverance afforded him.
|
|
34
|
34
|
|
Посе'м же прїидоша къ цр~ю просящи эTпђщенїа въ своя` иX”
|
Those who had marked them out as for death and for carrion, and had registered them with joy, howled aloud, and were clothed with shame, and had the fire of their rage ingloriously put out.
|
|
35
|
35
|
|
А$ пописа'нїа же ја%же бы'ша на ниX эT пя'таго и^ к~ го дн~е мsца па'хона, да'же до четвер#таго`надесяте дн~е мsца е^пи'фа” Въ дн~ех# же четыридесятиX съставиша и^мъ поги'бель. и^ эT пя'таго дн~е мsца е^пи'фа да'же до сеDмаго, въ тњх# трїех# дн~ехъ в ни'х же пресла'вне ја^ви млsть свою всњхъ силнњ'ишђю е^ю'же и^збави и^хъ безъвредныX въкђпњ.
|
But the Jews, as we just said, instituted a dance, and then gave themselves up to feasting, glad thanksgivings, and psalms.
|
|
36
|
36
|
|
бл~говременїе же полђчи'ша въ всемъ эT цр~я да'же до четверта'гона'десять дн~е тогоже мsца. воньже и^доша моли'ти цр~я ѓ^ эTрњшенїи и^хъ”
|
They made a public ordinance to commemorate these things for generations to come, as long as they should be sojourners. They thus established these days as days of mirth, not for the purpose of drinking or luxury, but because God had saved them.
|
|
37
|
37
|
|
похвали' же и^хъ цр~ь, и^ написа` и^мъ поDписа'телно посла'нїе къ страти'гомᲆ и^же по гра'дехъ вели'кодђшне прилежа'нїе и^мњти ѓ^ всемъ ро'де і^ё^де'искомъ”
|
They requested the king to send them back to their homes.
