Сни'ди ся'ди на ꙁемли` дњво дщи` вављ=лоня. вни'ди въ т#мђ` дщи` халде'иска, ја%ко не приложи'ши к семђ проꙁыва'тися млада и^ ю'на.

¹

Come down, sit on the ground, O virgin daughter of Babylon: sit on the ground, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and luxurious.

²

воꙁми` жерновы смели` мђкђ`. эTкрыи покровъ ᲄвой, эTкры'и сњди'ны възсђчи` голени преиди` рњки.

²

Take a millstone, grind meal: remove thy veil, uncover thy white hairs, make bare the leg, pass through the rivers.

³

эTкры'е^тся стыдњнїе твое, ја^вя'тся ё^кори'ꙁны твоя, пра'ведное эT тебе въꙁмђ`, ксемђ не преда'мъ чл~ком#.

³

Thy shame shall be uncovered, thy reproaches shall be brought to light: I will exact of thee due vengeance, I will no longer deliver thee to men.

⁴

Рече и^ꙁба'вивыи т^я г~ь саваѓ'џъ, и'мя е^мђ ст~ыи і^и^л~евъ.

⁴

Thy deliverer is the Lord of hosts, the Holy One of Israel is his name.

⁵

ся'ди ё^миле'на, вни'ди въ т#мђ дщи` халъдњ'иска, ксемђ не проꙁове'шися крњпость црsтвђ.

⁵

Sit thou down pierced with woe, go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: thou shalt no more be called the strength of a kingdom.

⁶

раꙁгнњвахся на лю'ди моя, ѓ^скверни'хъ прича'стїе мое. а^зъ же подаX я& в рђкђ твою, ты' же не да` и^мъ млsти, ста'речь ја^ре'мъ ё^тяжчи'ла е^си ѕњло.

⁶

I have been provoked with my people; thou hast defiled mine inheritance: I gave them into thy hand, but thou didst not extend mercy to them: thou madest the yoke of the aged man very heavy,

⁷

и^ рекла` е^си, въ вњкъ бђдђ владђща тобою. не помы'слила е^си сего въ срDцы свое^мъ, ни помянђ'ла е^си послњдниX”

⁷

and saidst, I shall be a princess for ever: thou didst not perceive these things in thine heart, nor didst thou remember the latter end.

⁸

Нн~њ же слы'ши с^е ю'ная сњдя'щаа ё^пова'ющаа. гл~ющаа въ срDцы свое^мъ, а^ꙁъ е^смь и^ нњсть и'ноя. не ся'дђ вдово'ю, и^ не поꙁна'ю сиротъства.

⁸

But now hear these words, thou luxurious one, who art the one that sits at ease, that is secure, that says in her heart, I am, and there is not another; I shall not sit a widow, neither shall I know bereavement.

⁹

нн~њ же ѓ^бо'е т^о на ᲄя прїидетъ в#неꙁа'пђ въ е^ді'нъ дн~ь, вдо'в#ство и^ бесча'дїе. прїидеT внеза'пђ на' тя вол#шебъствомъ твоиM, и^ крњпостїю вол#хвъ твои^хъ

⁹

But now these two things shall come upon thee suddenly in one day, the loss of children and widowhood shall come suddenly upon thee, for thy sorcery, for the strength of thine enchantments,

¹⁰

ѕњло надњя'нїемъ ѕлобы твоея” Ты` б^о рече а^ꙁъ е^смь и^ нњсть и%ноя, вњжDь ја%ко смышле'нїе си'хъ, и^ блђженїе твое бђ'детъ тебњ сра'мъ. и^ рече срDцемъ свои^мъ, а^ꙁъ е^смь и^ нњсть и%ноя.

¹⁰

for thy trusting in wickedness: for thou saidst, I am, and there is not another: know thou, the understanding of these things and thy harlotry shall be thy shame; for thou saidst in thy heart, I am, and there is not another.

¹¹

и^ прїидетъ на' тя па'гђба, и^ не ё^вњси про'пасти ё^паде'шися в ню. и^ прїидетъ на' тя печа'ль и^ не въꙁмо'жеши чи'ста бы'ти, и^ прїидетъ на тя внеꙁа'пђ па'гђба и^ не ё^вњси.

¹¹

And destruction shall come upon thee, and thou shalt not be aware; there shall be a pit, and thou shalt fall into it: and grief shall come upon thee, and thou shalt not be able to be clear; and destruction shall come suddenly upon thee, and thou shalt not know.

¹²

ста'ни ё^бо нн~њ съ вол#хвы твои^ми, и^ съ мно'гими ча'ры твои^ми, и%мже ся наё^чи и^ꙁъ ю'на, а^ще възмо'гђтъ т^и помощи`,

¹²

Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the abundance of thy sorcery, which thou hast learned from thy youth; if thou canst be profited.

¹³

трђди'ся в# совњтехъ свои^хъ” да ста'нђтъ и^ спасђтъ т^я ꙁвњздочет#цы нб~си, смотря'щеи звњздъ да ти совњстяT, чесомђ е^сть на ᲄя прїити`.

¹³

Thou art wearied in thy counsels. Let now the astrologers of the heaven stand and deliver thee, let them that see the stars tell thee what is about to come upon thee.

¹⁴

с^е вси` ја%ко х#вра'стїе ѓ^гнеM погоря'тъ, и^ не эTи^мђтᲆ дш~а своеа эT пла'мене, ја^ко и%маши главня` ѓ%гнены сњ'сти на нихъ.

¹⁴

Behold, they all shall be burnt up as sticks in the fire; neither shall they at all deliver their life from the flame. Because thou hast coals of fire, sit thou upon them;

¹⁵

с^и бђдTђ тебњ по'мощъ, трђди'ся въ преложенїе твое эT ю'ности твоея. чл~кᲆ сам ся прельститъ, тебњ же не бђдетъ сп~сителя”

¹⁵

these shall be thy help. Thou hast wearied thyself with traffic from thy youth: every man has wandered to his own home, but thou shalt have no deliverance.
