¹

И бы'сть внегда` слы'ша цр~ь е^ꙁекїя, растер#ꙁа` ри'ꙁы, и^ ѓ^блече'ся въ вре'тище, и^ вни'де въ хра'мъ гн~ь.

¹

And it came to pass, when king Ezekias heard it, that he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth, and went up to the house of the Lord.

²

и^ пђсти е^лїаки'ма самчїю, и^ съмнђ` кни'гъчїя, и^ ста'рца жре'чески ѓ^болче'ны въ врᲇтища. къ і^саїи пррoкђ сн~ђ а^мо'совђ,

²

And he sent Heliakim the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and the elders of the priests clothed with sackcloth, to Esaias the son of Amos, the prophet. And they said to him, Thus says Ezekias,

³

и^ рече е^мђ`” Се^ гл~етъ е^ꙁекїя. дн~ь печа'ли и^ ё^кори'зны и^ ѓ^бличе'нїя и^ гнњ'ва въ дне'шнїи дн~ь. ја%ко прїиде бо'лњзнь ража'ющеи, крњ'пости же не и^мђщи роди'ти”

³

To-day is a day of affliction, and reproach, and rebuke, and anger: for the pangs are come upon the travailing woman, but she has not strength to bring forth.

⁴

да ё^слы'шитъ г~ь б~ъ твои словеса` раўа'кова, ја%же е^сть пђстиl цр~ь а^сљ=рїискъ господи'нъ е^го, ё^корити б~а жива'го, и^ ё^кори'ти словесы` ја%же слы'ша г~ь б~ъ твои. и^ да моли'шися къ гв~и б~ђ твое^мђ, ѓ^ ѓ^сᲄа'вшиX сиX”

⁴

May the Lord thy God hear the words of Rabsaces, which the king of the Assyrians has sent, to reproach the living God, even to reproach with the words which the Lord thy God has heard: therefore thou shalt pray to thy Lord for these that are left.

⁵

И$ прїидо'ша ѓ%троцы цр~евы къ і^саїи.

⁵

So the servants of king Ezekias came to Esaias.

⁶

и рече и^мъ і^саїа, си'це рцњте къ господи'нђ ва'шемђ” Се^ гл~етъ г~ь. не бо'ися эT слове'съ ја%же е^си слы'шалъ, и^миже ё^кори'ша м^я послы` цр~я а^сљ=рїиска”

⁶

And Esaias said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not thou afraid at the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the ambassadors of the king of the Assyrians have reproached me.

⁷

Се^ а^зъ вложю` во'нь дх~ъ, и^ ё^слы'шавъ вњ'сть възврати'тся на' ꙁемлю свою`, и^ пораꙁиTся мече'мъ на свое'и земли`”

⁷

Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and return to his own country, and he shall fall by the sword in his own land.

⁸

И$ ѓ^брати'ся раўа'къ, и^ ѓ^брњте цр~я а^сљ=рїискаго ѓ^блежа'ща ломна'мъ.

⁸

So Rabsaces returned, and found the king of the Assyrians besieging Lobna: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachis.

⁹

и^ ё^слы'ша цр~ь а^сљ=рїискъ, ја%ко прише'лъ е^сть џарака цр~ь мљ=рскъ вое^ва'ти на'нь, и^ ё^слы'шавъ ѓ^брати'ся” И$ пђсти послы` къ е^ꙁекїи гл~я.

⁹

And Tharaca king of the Ethiopians went forth to attack him. And when he heard it, he turned aside, and sent messengers to Ezekias, saying,

¹⁰

си'це рцњте е^зекїи цр~ю жидо'в#скђ, да не льсти'т# б~ъ твои тебе` на негоy ё^повая е^си, гл~я. ја%ко не преда'сться і^ерsлимъ в рђ'цњ цр~я а^сљ=рїиска.

¹⁰

Thus shall ye say to Ezekias king of Judea, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.

¹¹

и^ли нњ'си слы'шалъ, чт^о сђть сътвори'ли цр~и а^сљ=рїистїи все'и земли`, ка'ко погђби'ша.

¹¹

Hast thou not heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done, how they have destroyed the whole earth? and shalt thou be delivered?

¹²

е^да` и^ꙁба'виша страны бо'ѕи иX, ја%же погђби'ша эTц~ы мои, гоꙁа'нъ, и^ харра'нъ, и^ расемъ, и^же сђть въ стра'нњ џее^маџи.

¹²

Have the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed delivered them, both Gozan, and Charrhan, and Rapheth, which are in the land of Theemath?

¹³

гд^њ сђть цр~и е^маџови, и^ а^рфа'џови, и^ гра'ды е^сфарђма, а^нагђга'нса”

¹³

Where are the kings of Emath? and where is the king of Arphath? and where is the king of the city of Eppharuaim, and of Anagugana?

¹⁴

И$ вꙁя` е^ꙁекїа кни'ги эT посло'вᲆ и^ прочте` я&. и^ вни'де въ храM гн~ь, и^ эTве'рꙁе я& прDе гм~ъ,

¹⁴

And Ezekias received the letter from the messengers, and read it, and went up to the house of the Lord, and opened it before the Lord.

¹⁵

и^ помоли'ся е^зекїя къ гв~и гл~я”

¹⁵

And Ezekias prayed to the Lord, saying,

¹⁶

Ги~ саваѓ'џе б~е і^и^л~евъ, сњдя'и на херђви'мњ, т^ы е^ді'нъ цр~ь е^си всемђ` цр~ьствђ зе'мномђ. т^ы сътвори нб~о и^ зе'млю.

¹⁶

O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who sittest upon the cherubs, thou alone art the God of every kingdom of the world: thou hast made heaven and earth.

¹⁷

приклони` г~и ё%хо твое, ё^слы'ши г~и, эTве'рзи г~и ѓ%чи твои`, и^ при'зри г~и, и^ ви'жDь, и^ слы'ши вся` словеса` ја%же пђсти'лъ е^сть сенахериM, ё^каря'а б~а жива'го. по

¹⁷

Incline thine ear, O Lord, hearken, O Lord; open thine eyes, O Lord, look, O Lord: and behold the words of Sennacherim, which he has sent to reproach the living God.

¹⁸

и%стиннњ б^о г~и, пђстђ съᲄвори'ша цр~и а^сљ=рїисᲄїи всю` зе'млю, и^ стра'ны и^хъ.

¹⁸

For of a truth, Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste the whole world, and the countries thereof,

¹⁹

и^ вᲆвръго'ша кђми'ры и^хъ въ ѓ%гнь, не бњша б^о боѕи, н^о дњло рђ'къ чл~чь, дре'во, ка'менїе, и^ погђби'ша я&”

¹⁹

and have cast their idols into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have cast them away.

²⁰

Ты же г~и б~е нашъ сп~сы н^ы эT рђ'кђ и^хъ, да ё^вњдятъ вс^я црsтвїя зе'мная, ја%ко т^ы е^си г~ь б~ъ е^ді'нъ”

²⁰

But now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hands, that every kingdom of the earth may know that thou art God alone.

²¹

И$ пђсти'ся і^саїа сн~ъ а^мо'совъ къ е^зекїи, и^ рече е^мђ” Се^ гл~етъ г~ь б~ъ і^и^л~евъ, слы'шахъ е^же моли'ся къ мнњ` ѓ^ сенахери'мњ цр~и а^сљ=рїисти”

²¹

And Esaias the son of Amos was sent to Ezekias, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, I have heard thy prayer to me concerning Sennacherim king of the Assyrians.

²²

Се^ сло'во е^же гл~а ѓ^ немъ б~ъ, похђли` т^я и^ порђга'ся тебњ дв~це дщи сїѓ'ня, на тя главо'ю покива дщи і^ерsлимля.

²²

This is the word which God has spoken concerning him; The virgin daughter of Sion has despised thee, and mocked thee; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee.

²³

кого ё^кори и^ разгнњ'ва, и^ли к# комђ` простре` гла'съ свои, и^ не въздви'же на высотђ` ѓ%чїю свое^ю къ ст~мђ і^и^л~вђ

²³

Whom hast thou reproached and provoked? and against whom hast thou lifted up thy voice? and hast thou not lifted up thine eyes on high against the Holy One of Israel?

²⁴

ја%ко посла'ми ё^кори г~а. т^ы бо рече, мно'жествомъ ѓ^рђж'їя а^зъ възыидоX на высотђ го'ръ, и^ напослњ'докъ дђбра'вы, и^ посњко'хъ высотђ` е^я`, и^ добротђ кљ=пари'совђ. и^ внидо'хъ въ высотђ ча'сти дђбрав#ски,

²⁴

For thou hast reproached the Lord by messengers; for thou hast said, With the multitude of chariots have I ascended to the height of mountains, and to the sides of Libanus; and I have cropped the height of his cedars and the beauty of his cypresses; and I entered into the height of the forest region:

²⁵

и^ положи'хъ мо'стъ, і^ и^скази'хъ во'ды, и^ весь събо'ръ воDныи”

²⁵

and I have made a bridge, and dried up the waters, and every pool of water.

²⁶

Не слы'шала ли е^си ё^бо и^спе'рва, е^же а^зъ сътвори'хъ эT первыхъ дне'и ѓ^бњщахъ. нн~њ же ё^каза'хъ расы'пати страны въ твердыняхъ и^хъ. и^ живђщая въ твердыхъ гра'дњхъ,

²⁶

Hast thou not heard of these things which I did of old? I appointed them from ancient times; but now have I manifested my purpose of desolating nations in their strong holds, and them that dwell in strong cities.

²⁷

и^ѓ^брати'хъ рђ'цы і^ и^схо'ша, и^ бы'ша сђси а^ки сᲇ'но на клњтехъ, и^ а^ки тро'скотъ”

²⁷

I weakened their hands, and they withered; and they became as dry grass on the house-tops, and as grass.

²⁸

нн~њ же поко'и ᲄвои, і^ и^схоD твои, и^ вхоD твои, а^зъ съвњдᲇ,

²⁸

But now I know thy rest, and thy going out, and thy coming in.

²⁹

и^ ја%рость твою е^ю'же разгнњ'вася. и^ гнњвъ твои взы'иде къ мнњ`, и^ вложђ прито'къ в но'здри твоя`, и^ ё^здђ въ ё^ста` твоя`, и^ възвращђ т^я пђтемъ и%мже е^си прише'лъ”

²⁹

And thy wrath wherewith thou hast been enraged, and thy rancour has come up to me; therefore I will put a hook in thy nose, and a bit in thy lips, and will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

³⁰

Се же тебњ` зна'менїе, ја%ждь сего лњта е^же е^си всњ'ялъ, а^ во второ'е лњто е^же эT себе растеT, а^ въ тре'тее насњя'вше пожнете. и^ насади'те виногра'ды, и^ снњ'сте пло'ды и^хъ.

³⁰

And this shall be a sign to thee, Eat this year what thou hast sown; and the second year that which is left: and the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

³¹

и^ бђдђтъ ѓ^ста'вшеи въ і^ё^де'и, прони'кнђтъ ко'ренїя до'лђ, и^ сътворятъ съверхђ пло'дъ.

³¹

And they that are left in Judea shall take root downward, and bear fruit upward:

³²

ја%ко эT і^ерsлима бђдђт# ѓ^ста'вленїи, эT горы` сїѓ'ня. рве'нїе г~а саваѓ'џа сътвори'тъ с^е”

³²

for out of Jerusalem there shall be a remnant, and the saved ones out of mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.

³³

Сего раd си'це гл~етъ г~ь, на цр~я а^сљ=рїиска, не вни'детъ в сїи градъ, ни въстрњлитъ вонь стрњлы`, ни възло'жит# нань щи'та, ни ѓ^гради'тъ ѓ%крsтъ е^го ѓ^гражденїя.

³³

Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, nor cast a weapon against it, nor bring a shield against it, nor make a rampart round it.

³⁴

н^о пђтемъ иMже е^сть прише'лъ, тњмже ся ѓ^братиT и^ въ градъ се'и не вни'дет#” Се` гл~еT г~ь.

³⁴

But by the way by which he came, by it shall he return, and shall not enter into this city: thus saith the Lord.

³⁵

ꙁащищђ градъ се'и, ја%ко спsти е^го мене ради, и^ дв~да раба` мое^го”

³⁵

I will protect this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

³⁶

І$ и^зы'иде а^гг~лъ гн~ь, і^ и^зби` эT поlка а^сљ=рїиска, р~, и^ п~, и^ пя'ть ты'сящъ. и^ въста'вше ꙁаё'тра ѓ^брњтоша вся` телеса` ме'ртва.

³⁶

And the angel of the Lord went forth, and slew out of the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they arose in the morning and found all these bodies dead.

³⁷

и^ ѓ^брати'вся эTи^де сенахери'мъ цр~ь а^сљ=рїискъ, и^ всели'ся в ниневїю.

³⁷

And Sennacherim king of the Assyrians turned and departed, and dwelt in Nineve.

³⁸

и^ внегда` бы'сть покланя'тися е^мђ, в домђ` несереховњ бо'гђ е^го. а^драмеле'хъ и^ сарасаръ, сн~ове е^го ё^би'ша и& мече'мъ. тїи же ё^бњжа'ша въ а^рме'нїю. и^ црsтвова` а^сорда'нъ сн~ъ е^го в него мњсто”

³⁸

And while he was worshipping Nasarach his country's god in the house, Adramelech and Sarasar his sons smote him with swords; and they escaped into Armenia: and Asordan his son reigned in his stead.
