И бы'сть сло'во гн~е къ і^е^ремїи эT слове'съ сђхо'тныхъ”

¹

And the Word of the Lord came to Jeremias concerning the Drought.

²

стена'ла і^ё^дея и^ врата е^я` раꙁрђши'шася, и^ ѓ^темни'шася на земли`, и^ во'пль і^е^рsлима вꙁы'иде”

²

Judea has mourned, and her gates are emptied, and are darkened upon the earth; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

³

Бо'лшїи посла'ша ме'ншихъ свои^хъ к во'дњ. прїидо'ша к черпа'нїю и^ не ѓ^брњто'ша воды`. и^ эTнесоша па'ки съсђды своя` то'щны” Посты'дни сђть и^ ѓ^ꙁлобле'ни, и^ покры'ша главы` своя`

³

And her nobles have sent their little ones to the water: they came to the wells, and found no water: and brought back their vessels empty.

⁴

ради па'кости ꙁемли`, и^же не прїидеT до'жDь на' ꙁемлю. постыже'ни сђть нивнїи дњ'латели, покры'ша главы` своя`. и^же

⁴

And the labours of the land failed, because there was no rain: the husbandmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.

⁵

и^ е^ле'ница в ни'вњ роди'ся и^ ѓ^ста'вила, и^же не бᲇ трава`.

⁵

And hinds calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.

⁶

и^ ѓ^на'гри ста'ша на скалаX, бра'ша вњтръ ја%ко ѕмїеве. ѓ^скђдњша ѓ%чи и^хъ и^же не бњ` трава`. а^ще

⁶

The wild asses stood by the forests, and snuffed up the wind; their eyes failed, because there was no grass.

⁷

беꙁако'нїя на'ша эTвњща'ютъ наM. г~и сътвори ради и^мени твое^го, ја%ко мно'га сђть эTвраще'нїя на'ша, тебњ съгрњши'хом#.

⁷

Our sins have risen up against us: O Lord, do thou for us for thine own sake; for our sins are many before thee; for we have sinned against thee.

⁸

пожда'нїе і^и^л~ево. сп~си'телю нашъ въ вре'мя ско'рби, въскђ'ю ја%ко пришле'цъ е^си на ꙁемли`, и^ ја%ко пђтникъ ё^кланя'ющся на жи'тїе”

⁸

O Lord, thou art the hope of Israel, and deliverest us in time of troubles; why art thou become as a sojourner upon the land, or as one born in the land, yet turning aside for a resting-place?

⁹

Въскђ'ю бы'лъ ја%ко мђж'ᲆ прошле'цъ е^си, и^ крњ'пкыи и^же не мо'жетъ спsти” Ты же в наs е^си г~и, і^ и^мя твое въꙁва'но е^сть на наs, не ѓ^ста'ви наs”

⁹

Wilt thou be as a man asleep, or as a strong man that cannot save? yet thou art among us, O Lord, and thy name is called upon us; forget us not.

¹⁰

Сїя рече г~ь лю'демъ сиM, и^же въꙁлюби, поDвиꙁа'ти но'ѕњ свои и^ не покои'шаs, и^ г~ђ не ё^годи'ша. нн~њ въспомяне'тъ беꙁако'нїя и^хъ и^ посњтя'тъ грњхи` и^хъ”

¹⁰

Thus saith the Lord to this people, They have loved to wander, and they have not spared, therefore God has not prospered them; now will he remember their iniquity.

¹¹

И$ рече г~ь къ мнњ`, не хощи молитися ꙁа лю'ди с^и въ бл~го.

¹¹

And the Lord said to me, Pray not for this people for their good:

¹²

е^гда постя'тся не ё^слы'шђ проше'нїя и^хъ. и^ а'ще принесђт# вс^есᲆж#же'нїа и^ жертвђ, не вᲆспрїимђ и^хъ. ја%ко мечеM и^ гла'домᲆ и^ мо'роM а%зъ и^стлю` и^хъ”

¹²

for though they fast, I will not hear their supplication; and though they offer whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices, I will take no pleasure in them: for I will consume them with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence.

¹³

И$ реко'хъ, ЭO г~и б~е пррoцы рекђтъ и^мъ, не ё^ꙁрите меча и^ гла'дъ не бђ'детъ вамъ, н^о ми'рᲆ и%стинныи да'сть вамъ на мњстњ семъ”

¹³

And I said, O ever living Lord! behold, their prophets prophesy, and say, Ye shall not see a sword, nor shall famine be among you; for I will give truth and peace on the land, and in this place.

¹⁴

И$ рече г~ь къ мнњ`, л#жи'во пррoцы прорица'ютъ въ и^мя мое, не посла'хъ и^хъ, ни заповњ'дахъ и^мъ, ни гл~алъ е^смь к ниM. видњ'нїя л#жи'ва и^ ё^гада'нїе л#сти'во, и^ прел#ще'нїемᲆ срDца свое^го прорица'ютъ вамъ”

¹⁴

Then the Lord said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spoke not to them: for they prophesy to you false visions, and divinations, and auguries, and devices of their own heart.

¹⁵

Сего ради сїа рече г~ь ѓ^ пррoцњхъ, и^же пррoчествђ'ютъ въ и^мя мое, иXже а^ꙁъ не посла'хъ. рекђще, мечъ и^ гла'дъ не бђ'детъ на ꙁемли` се'и. в ме'чᲆ и^ глаD и^стляTся пррoцы тїи.

¹⁵

Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy lies in my name, and I sent them not, who say, Sword and famine shall not be upon this land; they shall die by a grievous death, and the prophets shall be consumed by famine.

¹⁶

и^ лю'деM и^мже пррoчествђ'ютъ бђ'дђтъ и^ꙁвержени на пђте'хъ і^ерsлима, ради гла'да и^ ме'ча. и^ не бђ'детъ и^же погреб#сти и^хъ. тїи и^ же'ны и^хъ, сн~ове и^ дще'ри и^хъ, і^ и^ꙁлњ'ю на нихъ ѕла'я и^хъ.

¹⁶

And the people to whom they prophesy, they also shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the sword and famine; and there shall be none to bury them: their wives also, and their sons, and their daughters shall die thus; and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.

¹⁷

и^ рече'ши к ни'мъ сло'во сїе, и^ꙁведђтᲆ ѓ%чи мои сле'ꙁы по но'щ# и^ дн~ь, и^ не ё^мо'лкнђтъ, ја%ко сътре'нїемъ вели'киM сътре'на дв~а дще'рь людїи мои^хъ, ја%ꙁвою ѕло'ю ѕњ'ло.

¹⁷

And thou shalt speak this word to them; Let your eyes shed tears day and night, and let them not cease: for the daughter of my people has been sorely bruised, and her plague is very grievous.

¹⁸

а^ще и^сходя'щъ бђдђ на ни'вы, с^е ꙁакла'ни мече'мъ. и^ а'ще вни'дђ въ' градъ, с^е просте'рᲄы гла'домъ” Пррoкъ же и^ сщ~енникъ эTи^до'ша в зе'млю, е^я'же не вњдя'хђ.

¹⁸

If I go forth into the plain, then behold the slain by the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold the distress of famine! for priest and prophet have gone to a land which they knew not.

¹⁹

Є$да ли эTме'щђщи эTве'рглъ е^си і^ёдђ, и^ли сїѓ'нᲆ в ме'рꙁость и^мњ дш~а твоа. въскђ'ю б^о поразиl е^си наs, та'ко да ни е^ді'но бђдетъ и^сцњле'нїе” Пожда'хоM мљ=ра, и^ нᲇсть бл~го, и^ вре'мя и^сцњле'нїя, и^ се смђще'нїе”

¹⁹

Hast thou utterly rejected Juda? and has thy soul departed from Sion? wherefore hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we waited for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, and behold trouble!

²⁰

Поꙁна'хомъ г~и нече'стїе на'ше беꙁаконїя эTц~ъ нашиX ја%ко съгрњши'хомъ к тебњ`,

²⁰

We know, O Lord, our sins, and the iniquities of our fathers: for we have sinned before thee.

²¹

не да'и наs в# поноше'нїе ради и^мени твое^го, ни сᲆтвори намъ доса'ды. на престо'лъ сла'вы твое^я въспомяни, и^ не раꙁори ꙁавњтъ твои с на'ми.

²¹

Refrain for thy name's sake, destroy not the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.

²²

е^да` сђть въ звая'ныхъ ја^зы'ческихᲆ и^же дож#дяT, и^ли нб~са могTђ да'ти ро'сђ, а^ще не т^ы воли'ши. е^да ли не ты е^си г~и б~ъ нашᲆ е^гоже жда'хомъ, ты б^о сътвори'лъ е^си вся сїя”

²²

Is there any one among the idols of the Gentiles that can give rain? and will the sky yield his fulness at their bidding? Art not thou he? we will even wait on thee, O Lord: for thou hast made all these things.
