И слы'ша сафотеи сн~ъ наџаn и^ годолїя сн~ъ наа^схо'ровъ, і и^ѓ^а^ха'лъ сн~ъ селмїинъ, и^ фас#сђръ сн~ъ мелхїевъ, словеса` ја%же і^еремїя гл~а къ всњмъ лю'деM гл~я”

¹

At that time, saith the Lord, I will be a God to the family of Israel, and they shall be to me a people.

²

Та'ко реq г~ь, сњдя'и въ градњ семъ ёмретᲆ мечеM и^ гла'домъ и^ моромъ. и^сходя'и же къ хал#дњемъ, живи'тся. и^ бђдет# дш~а е^го на ѓ^брњте'нїе и^ живи'тся.

²

Thus saith the Lord, I found him warm in the wilderness with them that were slain with the sword: go ye and destroy not Israel.

³

ја^ко та'ко рече г~ь. преда'нїемъ предасться гра'дъ се'и в рђцњ си'лы цр~я халдеиска, и^ во'ꙁметъ и&”

³

The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore have I drawn thee in compassion.

⁴

И$ реко'ша цр~ю, да ё'мретъ чл~къ тои. ја%ко сеи раслабля'етъ рђцњ мђжїи боря'щихъ ѓ^ста'вшихъ въ градњ, и^ рђцњ всњхъ людїи, гл~я к нимъ по словесемъ си'мъ. ја%ко чл~къ сеи не проповњдаетъ лю'демъ мира, н^о ѕл^о.

⁴

For I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt yet take thy timbrel, and go forth with the party of them that make merry.

⁵

и^ рече цр~ь седекїя, се` тои в рђкђ ва'шею, ја%ко не можа'ше цр~ь проти'вђ и^мъ.

⁵

For ye have planted vineyards on the mountains of Samaria: plant ye, and praise.

⁶

и^ вꙁя'ша і^еремїю, и^ въвергоша и& въ ровъ мелхїинъ сн~а а^мале'хова, и^же бяше въ дворњ` теMничнемъ и^ въвњсиша и& ю'жи в ровᲆ, в ровњ же не бя'ше воды` н^о ти'на, и^ бя'ше в# ти'нњ і^еремїя”

⁶

For it is a day when those that plead on the mountains of Ephraim shall call, saying, Arise ye, and go up to Sion to the Lord your God.

⁷

И$ слы'ша а^в#демелеX мђринъ, и^ то'иже бњше въ дворњ` цр~еви, ја^ко въверго'ша і^еремїю в ровъ. цр~ь же в# тои ча'съ сњдя'ше въ вра' техъ венїами'нњхъ.

⁷

For thus saith the Lord to Jacob; Rejoice ye, and exult over the head of the nations: make proclamation, and praise ye: say, The Lord has delivered his people, the remnant of Israel.

⁸

і^ и^зы'иде а^в#демеле'хъ эT домђ цр~ева, и^ рече къ цр~ю гл~я. г~и мои цр~ю ѕл^о

⁸

Behold, I bring them from the north, and will gather them from the end of the earth to the feast of the passover: and the people shall beget a great multitude, and they shall return hither.

⁹

сътвори, ја%ко ё^би'ти повелњ чл~ка сего эT лица` гладђ, ја^ко нњсть хлњба въ гра'дњ к#семђ.

⁹

They went forth with weeping, and I will bring them back with consolation, causing them to lodge by the channels of waters in a straight way, and they shall not err in it: for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.

¹⁰

и^ повелњ цр~ь а^в#демелехђ гл~я, пои^ми` съ собо'ю эTсю'дђ придесять мђжь, і^ и^ꙁ#влеци і^еремїю и^ꙁ рова да не ё'мретᲆ.

¹⁰

Hear the words of the Lord, ye nations, and proclaim them to the islands afar off; say, He that scattered Israel will also gather him, and keep him as one that feeds his flock.

¹¹

и^ поя'ть а^в#демеле'хъ мђжа, и^ прїиде въ дом# цр~ев поDзем#ныи. и^ взя` эTтђдђ ветхи по'рты, и^ ветха ё'жа, и^ въверже я& къ і^еремїи в ровъ. и^ рече к немђ,

¹¹

For the Lord has ransomed Jacob, he has rescued him out of the hand of them that were stronger than he.

¹²

положи` сїя поD ё'жи. и^ сътвори і^еремїя сице.

¹²

And they shall come, and shall rejoice in the mount of Sion, and shall come to the good things of the Lord, even to a land of corn, and wine, and fruits, and cattle, and sheep: and their soul shall be as a fruitful tree; and they shall hunger no more.

¹³

і^ и^звлеко'ша и& ё'жи, і^ и^зя'ша и& эT ро'ва. и^ сњде і^еремїя въ дворњ` темни'чнемъ”

¹³

Then shall the virgins rejoice in the assembly of youth, and the old men shall rejoice; and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will make them merry.

¹⁴

И$ посла` цр~ь и^ въꙁва` к# себњ і^еремїю в домъ а^саласїиль, и^же в# домђ гн~и. и^ рече е^мђ цр~ь, въпраша'ю тя словесе е^дїного, и^ не ё^таи` эT ммене словесе`.

¹⁴

I will expand and cheer with wine the soul of the priests the sons of Levi, and my people shall be satisfied with my good things: thus saith the Lord.

¹⁵

и^ рече і^еремїя цр~ю, а^ще повњмъ т^и, т^о не смр~тїю л^и ё^мори'ши мя. и^ а^ще съвњща'ю ти, т^о не послђшаеши мене.

¹⁵

A voice was heard in Rama, of lamentation, and of weeping, and wailing; Rachel would not cease weeping for her children, because they are not.

¹⁶

и^ кля'ся е^мђ цр~ь гл~я, жи'въ г~ь, и^же сътвори` намъ дш~ђ сїю ја%ко не ё^бїю тя. ни предамъ в рђцњ чл~къ сихъ стрегђщихᲆ т^я, на смр~ть.

¹⁶

Thus saith the Lord; Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thine eyes from thy tears: for there is a reward for thy works; and they shall return from the land of thine enemies.

¹⁷

и^ рече і^ремїя тако рече г~ь. а^ще и^ꙁыидыи и^зы'идеши кᲆ вое^во'дамъ цр~я вављ=лон#ска, жива` бђдетъ дш~а твоя. и^ гра'дъ сеи не пожже'тся ѓ^гнемъ, и^ жи'въ бђдеши т^ы, и^ до'мъ тво'и.

¹⁷

There shall be an abiding home for thy children.

¹⁸

а^ще л^и не и^ꙁы'идеши къ княѕемъ цр~я вављ=лонъска, преда'сться гра'дъ сеи в рђцњ халде'истњ. и^ пожгђтъ и& ѓ^гнемъ, и^ ты` не ё^цњлњ'еши”

¹⁸

I have heard the sound of Ephraim lamenting, and saying, Thou hast chastened me, and I was chastened; I as a calf was not willingly taught: turn thou me, and I shall turn; for thou art the Lord my God.

¹⁹

И$ рече цр~ь і^еремїи, а^ꙁъ слово и'маM эT жидо'въ бњжа'вшихъ въ хал#дея, не преда'ти м^я в рђцњ и^хъ, и^ кляли' ми ся сђть.

¹⁹

For after my captivity I repented; and after I knew, I groaned for the day of shame, and shewed thee that I bore reproach from my youth.

²⁰

и^ рече і^еремїя, не предадя'тъ тебе. послђшаи ё^бо словесе гн~я е^же а^ꙁъ гл~ю тебњ, и^ ё'не ти бђдетъ, и^ жива` бђдетъ дш~а твоя.

²⁰

Ephraim is a beloved son, a pleasing child to me: for because my words are in him, I will surely remember him: therefore I made haste to help him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.

²¹

и^ а'ще не хо'щеши т^ы и^ꙁыити`. се` слово е^же скаꙁа мн^њ г~ь

²¹

Prepare thyself, O Sion; execute vengeance; look to thy ways: return, O virgin of Israel, by the way by which thou wentest, return mourning to thy cities.

²²

и^ се вся` же'ны ѓ^ста'вленыя в# домђ цр~я і^ё'дина, и^зведђтся къ кня'ѕемъ цр~я вављ=лоnска. тїи же гл~хђ, прельсти'ша т^я, и^ премогоша т^я мђжи ми'рницы твои`. и^ вᲆзмогTђ преlще'нїемъ но'ѕњ свои` эTврати'ти эT тебе.

²²

How long, O disgraced daughter, wilt thou turn away? for the Lord has created safety for a new plantation: men shall go about in safety.

²³

и^ же'ны твоя и^ ча'да твоя и^зведђтъ къ хал#дњемъ, и^ ты` не ё^цњлњ'еши. ја%ко рђко'ю и^мешися цр~я вављ=лонъска, и^ гра'дъ сеи пож#же'тся”

²³

For thus saith the Lord; They shall yet speak this word in the land of Juda, and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn his captivity; blessed be the Lord on his righteous holy mountain!

²⁴

И$ реq е^мђ цр~ь, чл~къ да не ё^вњсть словесᲆ сиX, да не ё'мреши т^ы.

²⁴

And there shall be dwellers in the cities of Juda, and in all his land, together with the husbandman, and the shepherd shall go forth with the flock.

²⁵

и^ а^ще слы'шаT кн~ѕи ја%ко гл~аX с тобо'ю. и^ прїидTђ и^ рекђтъ т^и, чт^о гл~а к тебњ цр~ь, повњжDь наM и^ не ё^таи эT на'сᲆ и^ не ё^бїеM тебе. и^ что гл~а к тебњ цр~ь

²⁵

For I have saturated every thirsting soul, and filled every hungry soul.

²⁶

да речеши иM, помещђ а^ꙁъ ми'лованїе мое преD лицемъ цр~евомъ, ја^ко да не въз#вратитъ мене в# до'мъ і^ѓ^а^наџа'нь ё^мрњти та'мо”

²⁶

Therefore I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet to me.

²⁷

И$ прїидо'ша вси` кня'зи къ і^еремїи, и^ въпраша'ша и&. и^ повњда` и^мъ по всњм# словесемъ си'мъ, ја%же ꙁаповњда е^мђ цр~ь. и^ ё^мол#кнђша ја%ко нsњ слы'шано сло'во гн~е.

²⁷

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Juda with the seed of man, and the seed of beast.

²⁸

и^ сњде і^еремїя въ дворњ` темни'чнеM, дондеже в#ꙁя'ша і^ерsлиM”

²⁸

And it shall come to pass, that as I watched over them, to pull down, and to afflict, so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.
