¹

И$ у^пра'ви дњла и^хъ в рђкђ пррoка ст~аго.

¹

She prospered their works in the hand of the holy prophet.

²

про'иде пђсты'ню неѓ^бита'ннђю, и^ въ непроходи'мыX въдрђѕи` кђща.

²

They went through the wilderness that was not inhabited, and pitched tents in places where there lay no way.

³

съпроти'вишася бра'немъ и^ эTм#сти'ша врагомъ.

³

They stood against their enemies, and were avenged of their adversaries.

⁴

воZжада'ша и^ възва'ша тебе, и^ дана быs и^мъ вода` эT ка'мени несњко'ма, і^ и^сцњле'нїе жа'жди эT ка'мени жестока.

⁴

When they were thirsty, they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the flinty rock, and their thirst was quenched out of the hard stone.

⁵

и^хже б^о ради пострада'ша вра'ѕи иX, сихъ ради

⁵

For by what things their enemies were punished, by the same they in their need were benefited.

⁶

сїи недоё^мњ'ющеся бл~годњя'нїя”

⁶

For instead of a fountain of a perpetual running river troubled with foul blood,

⁷

За и^сточникъ ё^бо вњ'чныя рњки, кро'ви и^злїя'нїе смяте'нны

⁷

for a manifest reproof of that commandment, whereby the infants were slain, thou gavest unto them abundance of water by a means which they hoped not for:

⁸

въ ѓ^бли'ченїе младеnцеё^бїицA по повелњнїю да'лъ е^си и^мъ, гобꙁђю^щђся во'дђ беꙁ#наде'жне

⁸

declaring by that thirst then how thou hadst punished their adversaries.

⁹

показа'лъ е^си. за е'же тогда жа'ждђщихъ ка'ко проти'вныX ё^мђчи.

⁹

For when they were tried, albeit but in mercy chastised, they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath and tormented, thirsting in another manner than the just.

¹⁰

е^гда б^о и^скђше'ни, и^б^о въ млsти наказа'нїи позна'ша како въ гнњве ѓ^сђжени нечести'вїи мђчишася.

¹⁰

For these thou didst admonish and try, as a father: but the others, as a severe king, thou didst condemn and punish.

¹¹

си'х же ё^бо ја%ко эTц~ъ ё^ча'щи и^скђси'лъ е^си, ѓ'нњх же ја%ко жестокъ цр~ь ѓ^сђжда'я и^спыта'лъ е^си,

¹¹

Whether they were absent or present, they were vexed alike.

¹²

и^ эTстоя'щїи же и^ преDстоя'щїи та'кожDе мђчишася.

¹²

For a double grief came upon them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past.

¹³

сђгђба б^о и^хъ прїятъ печа'ль, и^ стена'нїе съ па'мятїю минђвшихъ”

¹³

For when they heard by their own punishments the other to be benefited, they had some feeling of the Lord.

¹⁴

Є$гда б^о слы'шахђ свои^хъ ради мђче'нїи бл~годњяныхъ и^хъ, сᲆра'зђмњва'ли г~а”

¹⁴

For whom they rejected with scorn, when he was long before thrown out at the casting forth of the infants, him in the end, when they saw what came to pass, they admired.

¹⁵

Въ эTложе'нїи б^о дре'вле рече'наго эTсᲄђпи'ша смњю'щася, на концы` слђче'нїю ё^диви'шася. неподо'бная пра'веднымъ жада'юще,

¹⁵

But for the foolish devices of their wickedness, wherewith being deceived they worshipped serpents void of reason, and vile beasts, thou didst send a multitude of unreasonable beasts upon them for vengeance:

¹⁶

за помышле'нїя же безђмныхъ непра'вда и^хъ. в ни'хже блазня'щеся честова'хђ беꙁъслове'сныя пресмыка'ю^щїися, и^ звњреи лю'тых#” Послаl е^си и^мъ мно'жество без#слове'сныхъ животных# въ эTм#ще'нїе,

¹⁶

that they might know, that wherewithal a man sinneth, by the same shall he be punished.

¹⁷

да познаюT ја%ко и%миже сᲆгрњши'ша си'ми же и^ мђчатся”

¹⁷

For thy Almighty hand, that made the world of matter without form, wanted not means to send among them a multitude of bears, or fierce lions,

¹⁸

Не невъꙁможна б^о всесил#ная рђка` твоя`, ја%же сътвори` ми'р# эT несоѓ^бра'ꙁныя ве'щи. и^ посла` и^мᲆ мно'жество медвњ'деи, и^л^и ё^давле'нїя льво'ва,

¹⁸

or unknown wild beasts, full of rage, newly created, breathing out either a fiery vapour, or filthy scents of scattered smoke, or shooting horrible sparkles out of their eyes:

¹⁹

и^л^и новороженыX гнњва по'лныхъ и^ незна'емыхъ ѕвњреи, и^л^и ѓ%гнь ды'шђщъ, и^л^и ды'ма воня'юща прилага'ющи. и^л^и сᲄра'шны эT ѓ'чїю и%скры насыла'ющи.

¹⁹

whereof not only the harm might dispatch them at once, but also the terrible sight utterly destroy them.

²⁰

и^хже не ᲄо'кмо па'кость можа'ше и^стребиᲄи, н^о и^ ѓ'браꙁъ ё^боя'ся погђби'ти.

²⁰

Yea, and without these might they have fallen down with one blast, being persecuted of vengeance, and scattered abroad through the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure and number and weight.

²¹

и^ беꙁъ тњхъ е^ді'нњмъ дх~омъ па'сти мого'ша, эT сђда го'нени, и^ развња'ни эT дх~а си'лы твоея, н^о вся в мњ'рђ и^ число` и^ превњ'съ расмотри'лъ е^си.

²¹

For thou canst shew thy great strength at all times when thou wilt; and who may withstand the power of thine arm?

²²

Мно'го б^о мощи тебњ па'че е^сть всегда, и^ державᲇ мы'ш#ца твоея кт^о съпроти'вится.

²²

For the whole world before thee is as a little grain of the balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew that falleth down upon the earth.

²³

и^же ја%ко стра'жнк# въ превњсе тако весь ми'рᲆ преD тобо'ю, и^ ја%ко ка'пля росы` ё'тренїя сходя'щїя на' землю.

²³

But thou hast mercy upon all; for thou canst do all things, and winkest at the sins of men, because they should amend.

²⁴

ми'лђеши же всњхъ ја^ко вся` мо'жеши, и^ презира'еши грњхи` чл~комъ въ покая'нїе.

²⁴

For thou lovest all the things that are, and abhorrest nothing which thou hast made: for never wouldest thou have made any thing, if thou hadst hated it.

²⁵

лю'биши же сђщая вс^я, и^ ничто'же гнђша'еши и^же сътвори'лъ е%си, ни б^о ненави'дящи чт^о ё^краси'лъ е^си.

²⁵

And how could any thing have endured, if it had not been thy will? or been preserved, if not called by thee?

²⁶

ка'коже пребысть сїе а^ще ты` не и^ꙁво'ли, и^л^и е^же не нарече'но эT тебе` съхрани'ся.

²⁶

But thou sparest all: for they are thine, O Lord, thou lover of souls.

²⁷

щади'ши же вся` ја%ко твоя сђть влDко дш~елю'бныи”
