¹

Оу^тњша'ите ё^тњша'ите лю'ди моа` жерцы гл~тъ б~ъ,

¹

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith God.

²

гл~ите вᲆ срDци і^ерsли'мђ, ётњша'ите и&, ја%ко напо'лнися смиренїе е^го, расы'пася грњхъ е^го, ја%ко прїя'тᲆ эT рђки гн~я сђгђбы грњхи своя`”

²

Speak, ye priests, to the heart of Jerusalem; comfort her, for her humiliation is accomplished, her sin is put away: for she has received of the Lord's hand double the amount of her sins.

³

Глаs въпїющаh въ пђсты'ни, ё^готова'ите пђть гн~ь, пра'вы сътвори'те стеѕя бг~а на'шего”

³

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight the paths of our God.

⁴

Вся'ка де'брь напо'лнится, и^ всяка гора` и^ хо'лмъ ѓ^бниꙁњ'етъ. и^ бђ'деT вс^е кривое въ пра'во, и^ ѓ^строаво'е вᲆ пђти глаDки.

⁴

Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low: and all the crooked ways shall become straight, and the rough places plains.

⁵

и^ ја%ви'тся сла'ва гн~я. и^ ё'зритъ всяка пло'ть сп~сенїе бж~їе, ја^ко г~ь гл~а”

⁵

And the glory of the Lord shall appear, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God: for the Lord has spoken it.

⁶

Гла'съ въпїю'щаго въꙁопїи, и^ рекохъ чт^о въꙁопїю, всяка пло'ть сњно, и^ всяка сла'ва чл~ча ја%ко цвњтъ тра'вныи.

⁶

The voice of one saying, Cry; and I said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.

⁷

пос#ше трава', и^ цвњтъ эTпаде`,

⁷

The grass withers, and the flower fades:

⁸

а^ гл~ъ б~а на'шего пребђ'детъ в# вњки”

⁸

but the word of our God abides for ever.

⁹

На' горђ высокђ възы'ди бл~говᲇствђи сїѓ'нђ, въꙁвыша'и крњ'постїю глаs сво'и” Бл~говњствђ'яи і^ерsли'мђ, и^ возвыси'те не бо'итеся” Рцы` гра'доv і^ё'диномъ

⁹

O thou that bringest glad tidings to Zion, go up on the high mountain; lift up thy voice with strength, thou that bringest glad tidings to Jerusalem; lift it up, fear not; say unto the cities of Juda, Behold your God!

¹⁰

с^е б~ъ ва'шъ, с^е г~ь крњпостїю и%деT, и^ мы'ца е^го съ вла'стїю. с^е м#ꙁда е^го с ни'мъ, и^ дњ'ло е^го предᲆ ни'мъ.

¹⁰

Behold the Lord! The Lord is coming with strength, and his arm is with power: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

¹¹

а^ки пастђхъ ё^пасетъ па'ствђ свою, и^ мы'шцею свое'ю сᲆберет# а%гньца, і^ и^мђща въ ё^тро'бњ ё^тњшитъ”

¹¹

He shall tend his flock as a shepherd, and he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and shall soothe them that are with young.

¹²

Кт^о и^ꙁмњри го'рстїю во'дђ, и^ нб~о пя'дїю, и^ всю ꙁе'млю го'рьстїю. кт^о постави` го'ры въ мњрђ, и^ хо'лми а^ки въ ја^рмњ”

¹²

Who has measured the water in his hand, and the heaven with a span, and all the earth in a handful? Who has weighed the mountains in scales, and the forests in a balance?

¹³

Кт^о раꙁђмњ ё%мъ гн~ь, и^ли кт^о е^мђ совњтникъ бы'сть, и^же поё^ча'етъ и&

¹³

Who has known the mind of the Lord? and who has been his counsellor, to instruct him?

¹⁴

и^л^и къ комђ` совњща, и^ поё^чи и&” Кт^о ли ё^каꙁа е^мђ сђдᲆ, и^л^и пђть смышленїя ё^каꙁа` е^мђ. и^ли кт^о преже да'сть е^мђ, да ся воздасть е^мђ”

¹⁴

Or with whom has he taken counsel, and he has instructed him? or who has taught him judgment, or who has taught him the way of understanding;

¹⁵

Се вся` страны` ја%ко ка'пля эT ка'ди, и^ ја%ко преᲄяженїе превњсьнъ намњни'шася е^мђ. а^

¹⁵

since all the nations are counted as a drop from a bucket, and as the turning of a balance, and shall be counted as spittle?

¹⁶

дђбра'ва непостиж#на на съж#женїе. и^ вс^е четвероно'жное непости'жно на все`съж#женїе.

¹⁶

And Libanus is not enough to burn, nor all beasts enough for a whole-burnt offering:

¹⁷

и^ вс^я страны` ја%ко нивъчто'же сђть, и^ въ ничтоже въмњни'шася”

¹⁷

and all the nations are as nothing, and counted as nothing.

¹⁸

Комђ` ё^подоби'сте г~а, и^ кое^мђ подо'бїю ё^подоби'сте е^го.

¹⁸

To whom have ye compared the Lord? and with what likeness have ye compared him?

¹⁹

е^да` б^о ѓ%браꙁъ съᲄвори древодњля, и^л^и ꙁла'тарь слїявᲆ ꙁла'то позлати и&, и^л^и подо'бїемъ сътвори` е^го.

¹⁹

Has not the artificer made an image, or the goldsmith having melted gold, gilt it over, and made it a similitude?

²⁰

дре'во б^о негнїющее и^збира'етъ дре'водњля, и^л^и мђдръ и^спытђе'тъ ка'ко поста'витъ ѓ%браZ е^го, да ся не поколњ'блеT.

²⁰

For the artificer chooses out a wood that will not rot, and will wisely enquire how he shall set up his image, and that so that it should not be moved.

²¹

не раꙁђмњсте л^и, не слы'шасте л^и, не възвњсти л^и ся вамъ и^спе'рва, не раꙁђмњсте л^и ѓ^снова'нїя земли`”

²¹

Will ye not know? will ye not hear? has it not been told you of old? Have ye not known the foundations of the earth?

²²

Съдръжа'и крђгъ ꙁемли`, и^ живђщаа на не'и а^ки прђ'ги. пропныи нб~о ја^ко кома'рю и^ простерь е& ја%ко покроv вселя'тися”

²²

It is he that comprehends the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants in it are as grasshoppers; he that set up the heaven as a chamber, and stretched it out as a tent to dwell in:

²³

да'выи кня'ѕя н^и вочто'же владᲇти и^ ꙁемлю а^ки н^ичто'же сᲆтвори`.

²³

he that appoints princes to rule as nothing, and has made the earth as nothing.

²⁴

не насњ'ютъ б^о, н^и наса'дятъ, и^ не въкорени'тся въ ꙁемли` ко'ренїе иX. дъхнђ на нихъ вњтръ и^ посхо'ша, и^ бђря а^ки плњвы прїиметъ и^хъ”

²⁴

For they shall not plant, neither shall they sow, neither shall their root be fixed in the ground: he has blown upon them, and they are withered, and a storm shall carry them away like sticks.

²⁵

Нн~њ ё^бо комђ` м^я ё^подобисте, и въꙁнесђ'ся рече ст~ыи.

²⁵

Now then to whom have ye compared me, that I may be exalted? saith the Holy One.

²⁶

возри'те на высотђ` ѓ^чима ва'шима, и^ ви'дите кт^о сътвори` сїя вс^я” Нося'и по числђ` тва'рь свою`, и^ вся` по и^мени приꙁоветъ. эT мно'гїя сла'вы и^ въ дръжа'вњ крњ'пости е^го, ничто'же ё^та'ися эT тебе`”

²⁶

Lift up your eyes on high, and see, who has displayed all these things? even he that brings forth his host by number: he shall call them all by name by means of his great glory, and by the power of his might: nothing has escaped thee.

²⁷

Почто` рече і^а'кове, и^ чт^о гл~а і^и^л~ю, ё^та'ися пђть мо'и эT бг~а, и^ б~ъ мо'и эTвръглᲆ е^сть сђдъ и^ эTстђпиl.

²⁷

For say not thou, O Jacob, and why hast thou spoken, Israel, saying, My way is hid from God, and my God has taken away my judgment, and has departed?

²⁸

нн~њ же не разђмњ, а%ще б^ы не слы'шалᲆ е^си” Бг~ъ вњчныи, г~ь ё^строи'выи конца ꙁемли`. не въза'лчетъ ниже ё^трђ'дится, ниже е^сть и^ꙁъѓбрњт^енїя премђдрости е^го”

²⁸

And now, hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? the eternal God, the God that formed the ends of the earth, shall not hunger, nor be weary, and there is no searching of his understanding.

²⁹

да'яи а%лчющимъ крᲇпость, и^ небо'лњꙁнымᲆ скорбь.

²⁹

He gives strength to the hungry, and sorrow to them that are not suffering.

³⁰

въꙁалчютъ б^о ѓ%троцы, и^ ё^трђ'дяTся ю%ноты, і^ и^збраннїи не крᲇпцы бђдTђ

³⁰

For the young men shall hunger, and the youths shall be weary, and the choice men shall be powerless:

³¹

Терпя'щеи г~а и^змњняT крњ'пость. ѓкрилатњ'ютъ ја%ко ѓ^рли текђтъ и^ не ё^трђ'дятся”

³¹

but they that wait on God shall renew their strength; they shall put forth new feathers like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not hunger.
